Celebrations!!!

Well there's a lot of things to be thankful for and cause for a celebration....

First is its my Brother and Grandma's birthdays today... We had a little get together in a house and prepared something special despite the fact that we are in a state of austerity... It's funny how with Filipino families, there's no excuse not to have a sorta feast he he he.

The other thing I'm thankful for is that I'm gonna be regular from work beginning sept 1 so I know its not much but hey you have to be thankful for the little things in life too.

Happy Birthday to my Bro and Granny and congrats to me ;)

Till my next update!!! Caio

Long and Lasting Love...

It's been a very busy day today but I just wanna say Happy Anniversary to my parents...

They have been married for 29 years now, I can go all day telling stories of how my Dad courted my Mom and how they ended up together, but what I'm really proud of them is the loyalty that they have for one another. My Dad used to work abroad and most of their 29 years are spent apart... I wish I wouldn't have to go through that with my future wife, thinking about it may makes you think that there's always the possibility of infidelity, but not my parents... they totally and geniunely love each other no matter what... And now that my Dad finally retired from work and will be taking care of my mom on a more permanent basis... I'm happy that they were able to spend another anniversary together... and hopefully in the years to come... I love them both so much!!!

HAPPY 29th ANNIVERSARY!!!

Number's game...

Well to be honest that's what I alot of us at work think of the sudden demands of the program we're in. But what else can we do, it's either "in their words" we get our act together or they pull out. Hmph it's funny in way 'coz even if what we need to do to get the job done may sound inhumane, and they demand one thing but require another... you'll really go crazy just thinking about it... The bottom line is they want to see the numbers... but at the end of the day, that's just what it is... numbers...

Life is good, I'm getting to know someone really well... ;)

Although I'm still tomented with the reality that I really need to get some gig so that I can have something extra for me period... 'coz of commitments and responsibilities, I've worked for a while now but haven't even saved for anything... It's not that I would want to just neglect my responsibilities... Its just that I deserve to atleast savor the fruits of my labor... right?

Getting to the bottom of things...

It makes me wonder why I have this sudden knack to knowing how to dig secrets... well not exactly secrets... just things that you would think normally you couldn't find a way of knowing but oddly enough most of the time I can...

Family and friends are often amazed at how I'm able to get into the bottom of things that when they tried searching for themselves, they often get stuck at a dead end... whether it be information to pictures heck even things we shouldn't know ;)... even I amazed myself as to how I'm able to work around the dead ends... They ask me, "How'd you find it? What'd you do?" I often reply with, "You just got to realize that its not WHAT you search but HOW you search".

Maybe its the journalistic or detective sense in me. When I was growing up I always like a good mystery to challenge my thoughts and analytical skills... maybe its paying off now :D

Whenever I finally find what I'm looking for, whether it be knowledge I can now learn, to information about people that I know or don't, the conclusions that arise are often times fulfilling and even shocking which makes me just laugh knowing the fact that now... "I know".

Mixed emotions..

I have a lot of things on my mind... I mean who doesn't nowadays right... *sigh sometimes things just get more and more dull to more and more complex as days go by. There're times when I fell glad, happy and contented with what I have and with what's happening around me, and there're times when I feel depressed, anxious and even frustrated to why these things happen to me or to the people I care for... sometimes I just walk it off, sometimes even sleep it off [well most of the time sleeping it off 'coz work has totally screwed my sleeping habits ;)].

Still as I am typing this post, I'm still caught up with my emotions on how I should take everything that has happened, and everything that will happen... As for what it is... I dunno maybe I'll share it on a future post...

Something New...

Well it's the start of a new month and I've decided to spice things up a bit and choose a new layout... This is just a temporary thing 'coz I'm still finding a way to finally finish my site and publish it. I'm just being held up with some time and financial constraints... also I'll probably customize this layout a bit to fit the theme of the blog while waiting...

Tough times are getting tougher as days go by... A good friend decided to call it quits from work, altough I'm sad it had to happen, I wish nothing but the best for her and her family. I myself still haven't had the opportunity to really save up for my financial foundation 'coz of commitments and responsibilities. But as they say, life is like a wheel, if you're down, the only way for you to go is up! So with a little patience, determination and prayers... things will work themselves out.

Also as much as I would like to blabber about a new inspiration I have, I wouldn't want to jinx it... All I can say is that she's funny and sweet... and obviously beautiful ;)
