Whappy day!

I woke up excited! I'm going home today yuhoo!!! No plans for tomorrow, maybe just rest=) Even it's a one day vacation I'm still thankful.. Quite envious of my two brothers because it's Lem's sembreak and my Kuya filed his 7-day forced-leave. Sana meron din dito nun. Actually it's 10 but he already used up the other 3.

As I turned on my pc, nah, it's turned on and I don't know why. So I turned on the monitor, entered my bios password and tadah.... "The ff file is missing or might be corrupted....Type the name of the command interpreter." So I went to Emme and googled in her computer how i would resolve this. The first link I got was: "If you ever get the message "Type the name of the Command Interpreter" while booting to Windows you know your in trouble." Oh no! But as I continued reading it, I'll just be needing a bootable disk hehe. So I called on our tech but unfortunately, no one is there yet. Then, Gilbert came and I told him actually I showed him the errors. I think he'll try to boot on the CD he has and before it happened, my pc came back to normal like nothing happened! I still can't figure out how it went well again. Thank God! =)

Tomorrow is All Saint's Day. For sure heavy traffic again everywhere. Nah, even today, we can see from our building that the volume of traffic is getting high already. Good for me because my brother and I will go home together tonight. Quite frustrating for him because he'll be driving the car haha! I can't wait. Few hours na lang pwede na ko mag-out. I somehow hate when my time is spent in idleness (haha true). I'm through with the tasks I have to accomplish and a while ago I had the time to browse my friends' blog then after reading a lot, i lost the interest to continue. Maybe because my eyes are tired hehe.

I'll wait for Kuya in ATC so I could there meet my bestfriend. Chris and I usually hangout
during fridays but for the past 3 fridays we didn't. She had her so called 'hell weeks' hehe.

Few minutes and I'll be off! This was really a happy day!;p

Start it right and strong...

It's always been a short weekend for me ever since I was hired in my job. I have to be in the office during saturdays too, it's sort of a company policy. Most of the time I'll be arriving early
afternoon or early evening at home on saturdays. Usually, I found my family waiting and even though I'm tired, I make it a point that I get time to converse with them even a few. Such a blessing that you're able to see your family again and be with them too! Sunday night comes, I have to prepare my stuff for the week. It just don't feel so good haay hehe...I want to stay longer at home!=)

Last night, I wasn't able to sleep well because my mom was disturbed. BUT SHE'S EATING NOW YEHEY! THANKS FOR ALL WHO PRAYED FOR HER! She's still adjusting on food intake. I remember last saturday, she asked for ZAGU drink hehe. She also craved for mango shake and melon fruit. And because it's not the season of MELON fruit, my dad bought the one imported abroad costing P200.00! It's worth it anyway! Let's continue praying for continuous recovery! Praise God talaga. He's been so good to us even stuggles don't seem to pass. I know it will in His perfect time!=)

It's monday! I'm homesick again! I asked God to make me happy and make the day easy for me =) After doin' my morning task, I remember have to make a weekly report on the inventory of our project. So I did! Thank God, being busy helps you forget that 'homesick feeling'somehow hehe! I also forwarded encouraging verses to my family and friends. Instead of focusing on things that would make me lonely, why not make others blessed and inspired!

I got it from Jason's YM status which I found it very timely. I wanna share with you what it says.

"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" -- Jeremiah 32:27

Yeah, nothing is too difficult for God! It really relies on us now when we experience difficulties oo how are we going to trust the Almighty God!

Around 1030 this morning, Gilbert called for a meeting in Starbucks hmm. Gilbert and Bojo discussed the creation of the database in our new project. I admit, I am not into web programming but I really want to learn and be good at it. Bojo said, it's easy hehe. I hope so. =) Thanks Gil sa treat! I'll make it up to you next time haha!=p This afternoon, I just did some more php tutorials and research =) I continued testing mobile contents the team is producing. Hope it would be a success because it's for everybody's benefit anyway!

It's been a long day! A tough day to conquer for me. Thank you God, nothing is too difficult for you.*mwaaaah*

Picture picture...

I told her 'di man lang tayo nakapag-bonding'. Vanne, my officemate has found a new environment to work with. I think she lasted about four to five years here. I just thought, it's quite long already. Kasi ako, I felt like ang tagal ko na din dito but come to think of it, it would only be my fourth month stay next week haha! Kaya nagtake kami ng pictures, last night na nya dito.

Vanne and Me
Agee, Em, Vanne, Tess, and Me

Ako lang di TSG dito ah hehe



Si Agee parang saya na aalis si Vanne hehe...;p


Well, Vanne God bless po! We'll see each other again =)

There's No Place Like LB!!!

Thank God, He permitted me to visit LB yesterday. Super dooper mega over miss ko na agad ang LB! =( I just had a great great time last night in my 2nd home! I arrived there around 7 in the evening. There was traffic congestion on the roads and so I kept looking on my watch because I want to catch up YOF's last youth service this semester, thank God I did, yun lang it was about to end na din. On fire pa rin talaga ang mga tao! I sat beside Shine, my former OGmate and tried to get updated through her. After service, oh no eto na ang mga gorgeous friends ko. Everyone's asking kumusta ka na at ciempre 'di mawawala ang pag-hug hehe. Di ko 'lam pero parang lalo ko silang na-miss!! I got to meet new friends too!=) And the ever picture taking di mawawala! Si Denise kasi di mahilig hehe! Alang katapusan na kumustahan to the max na'to =)

Marian, Zara, Me, Eva

So what's next after some small talks? It's eating time! I ate dinner with Chris, Eva, Marian, and Tadz. They brought me to Laxco or Lacxo haha I forgot, a place I have never been before. It was a typical LB food establishment serving good food somehow hehe.

The night didn't end there! Ciempre minsan na lang 'to, kaya let's make the most out of it! And the master planner, si Tina! She did a text brigade pala sa mga peepz to have coffee with me after knowing that I planned to visit them, but read on what happened to the master planner hmm... So we went to Roadhouse, an extension of Coffee Blends they said and waited the others. Before we made orders, we transferred to the original Coffee Blends for the reason I didn't know haha! With me was Chris, Yang, Emil, and Fej. Then Glean came later, then Babes and Cla next. Anung topic? What would you expect na all girls kami? ciempre mga panay-panay nila!=p Yeah, nakakahiya kasi parang kami lang tao sa coffee shop when there really are others around. Ang gulo gulo. Pagsamahin ba naman si Glean, Emil, Yang, and Feje, sabog talaga! And the master planner?? Ala pa din! Like we're waiting for almost 2 hours for her, and it's getting late. We just talk, talk, and talk, laugh, laugh, and laugh some more! Super enjoy talaga! At dahil wala pa din si Tina, they suggested mag-videoke muna. On our way, we saw Tina on a nearby internet cafe still having meeting with Kuya Jon, Kuya Jerry, and Adrian. I just said Hi to them then told Tina na sa videoke na cia humabol hehe. Unfortunately, closed na yung videoke kasi late na siguro, sayang. It's time to split na din coz others have to review pa for their exams. So we walked home, me, Chris, and Babes.

Yang, Me, Glean
Emil, Chris, Fej

When we came at Chris' apartment where I decided to stay kasi si Tadz dun din ako pinapatulog, nagparamdam na ulit si Tina and followed us pero nung oras na ba yun? She was with Kuya Jerry and Adrian, So our coffee bonding ni Tina, sa daan na lang nauwi. More than an hour lang kami nakatayo dun at usap-usap. From white house, bumalik pa kami ulit sa Demarces medyo malayo din yun. Whew, surprisingly my feet aches na but it's ok minsan lang 'to, let's make the most out of it hehe! We fetched Tina's OGmate that would sleep in her and ate Babes' apt. Antok na ko pero kaya ko pa 'to!=) We walked back to white house while the three rode a tricycle kasi mas malayo yung kanila.. And that's it, Tadz is still awake by then and after I changed clothes, bagsak talaga ako sa bed hehe! I said sorry to Chris kasi even I want to chat with her pa, di ko na kaya..What a night! Such a great time!=) Thanks to you all!

This morning I don't feel like getting out of bed but I have to, I need to be in Alabang before 10am. On my way here, I reminisced everything that I could. I just can't help but smile! I went first to The Original and bought buko pies for my officemates. Thank God, I was able to catch the van, 2nd to the last passenger na ko eh! I was not that familiar kaya nakalampas ako sa terminal. Ang bilis pa ng travel ko huhu, 1-2-3..kilometers away from LB..Ü

Then as we moved, medyo sad na yung feeling. I started missing them again! =( Haay...I'm always looking forward sa next meetings. Sana yung mas matagal, yun nga lang mas malungkot pag matagal ang bonding, all the more na nakaka-miss! LB, what's in you?! I always find myself wanting to come back!=)

Stronger me

I have foreseen it; I won't be blogging everyday. And for the past 3 days, I have not been good at it. Oh well, I stayed in the hospital last weekend. I slept beside may mom on my first night and slept on a couch last sunday. It's really painful seeing your loved one in distress. If only you could share some of it to lessen her burden. But all we have to do is pray and wait =)

It just feels so great when you have friends that are supportive all the way. I got a call from ate babes, sms from my dear friends, thanks for continuous prayers Chris, Debbie, Yang, Glean, Lala, Denise, Divine, Dennis, Daisy, Tadz, Tina, and celat =) Also, I appreciate those who visited us while we were at the hospital. You guys are wonderful! To Madi & her mom, to all my relatives who took time to visit, and churchmates who united with us in prayers! Thanks a lot!!! There really are countless blessings to be grateful for if you would just look around. As for me, I can't fail to recognize them and I won't!

Yesterday was declared a national holiday. I went home the other day to help my family who are fatigued in closely watching my mom all day and night long. My mom was discharged from the hospital but still she had difficulty eating and drinking. We did like a round-robin manner in taking care of her, since we don't have helper at home. Thank God, I was able to rest too. Evening came and whew, packing up things and preparing for work is really sad esp leaving my mom in that kind of situation. But I have to be strong, I need to remind myself that God is in control! After 4 hours of sleep and an hour travel, I'm here again in Alabang. There's no work load yet, Gilbert did already what I supposed to be doing hehe =p And so I made a research about my mom's condition. Hope it would help =)

We have been battling this family crisis for a couple of years now. And I remembered what Feje told me, she said, "Karen, God is building a stronger character in you!" And so here I am God mold me for your glory!=)
---------------------
I've been writing this blog during idle times today. It's mid-afternoon already and the weather is gloomy! Try adding some intrumental tracks in the background and you're ready to fall asleep *hehe* Actually I'm beginning to feel sleepy already! While everybody seemed to be busy here, I can't think of fruitful thing to do. All I could think of are my old friends, planning their semenders, excited with their sembreak! Oh, I love the feeling of completing all your projects and final exams and the best thing is passing them all. However, if you were not able to pass it because of your not so considerate instructor hmmm... just think of the gimmicks lined up =)

Well, well, I'm looking forward to the church service later. What's God gonna tell me?? I'm just very excited!

It's gonna be a happy day!

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
James 4:14


Life is short indeed. Nobody knows what exactly would happen tomorrow or even in the few minutes to come. You might be very good in planning but still you cannot control everything. It's great to know that we can put our security in the arms of a loving God. The Maker whose plans will never fail =)
-----------------------

I miss my friends in LB, nakaka-bitin kasi last saturday. As much as I want to go back, I have to consider my mom who needs more time from us. Siguro, kung regular employee na ko sa work, sumama na ko sa kuya ko pauwi kahapon. Anyway, konting time na lang at makaka-uwi na din ako =)

Well, my officemate is here and we have decided to do some reviews and sessions related sa work. I'm excited to learn new things! Time to be fruity =)

Stand Still

Nope, I'm not outdated. Just got no time for this. After a couple of years planning *haha* here is my first blog! Though I keep a written journal for Somebody up there,I want to 'share'my thoughts and experiences in the world wide web too =)

Today I woke up excited because it's friday and even I have to work during saturdays, I'm still happy because I'd be able to be with my family tomorrow =) 'Thank you GM for a morning encouragement', well she said, 'When u don't know what to do, step aside, let God take over. Keep still and watch. God won't settle for a so-so solution just to get through. He likes to do it extravagantly.' Few hours later, my dad texted me that they have to bring my mom in the hospital. I chose to be still, yes I'm worried but worrying won't help. =) Everything's gonna be ok! I just know.
