Backup Storage For Me

For my kind of work in the office and my blogging it’s important to have a good storage capacity always. I’m always storing data, pictures, music and many other things that I need to be at hand whenever and whatever. I’m thinking of buying another 2GB memory stick for backing up my other storage cards. It’s very important to have backups just in case I’m in the provincial fellowships where there’s a need for bigger and multiple storage.

Swimming & Baptism at Pansol

We started our first day of the year relaxing and swimming at our fave resort in Pansol, Calamba, Laguna. We chose not to bring our car because Redge wasn't with us and for us to relax also. We were transported by Bro. Alex' jeepney and if someone is driving other than my hubby I can sleep myself throughout our journey, nice thing about riding with other brethren. We were four vehicles traveling from GMA Cavite to Calamba Laguna.

My kids were all excited as after we've eaten our new year's eve dinner they didn't want to sleep. I just told them that I'm going to wake them up as soon as the vehicle arrives in the morning. They really love swimming! We packed some of the evening's food and grilled them again on the resort. Our brothers in the church bought pusit and tilapia because all our food are meat. They stuffed the seafoods there with spices and grilled them.

Lunch was served later with everything open for everyone but the kids just went on swimming after taking some bites lol! And because the weather is so cold I prepared hot milk and noodles for the kids. They took advantage of their last day outing because on Monday all will be back to normal.

Will post pics later!

Caring For Our Car

It's another year again and we're preparing our car for it's registration on March. After the long holidays and frequent travel to faraway places our car should be given extra care now. My hubby started on checking different parts of the car and listed some notes on the ones that needs replacement, actually we're thinking of a new body because it will cost us more if we have the doors and windows repaired. Anyway that's only part of car maintenance, another thing to think about is getting a cheap car insurance to insure the car will be covered when accident happens, not that we expect accidents but it's still best to secure insurance.

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2009! I thanked God for the blessed year that passed and prayed that this year will bring us more blessing not just on the material side but spiritual as well. People should be happy with simple things in life because that’s where God dwells – in the simplest of things.

New year means new beginning, new hope, new plans and purpose in life, for others new jobs, new homes, new opportunities and new friends. I can never put an end on how many new we can start in our life but the most important thing is having new life with Christ in our heart. Happy New Year!

To welcome the new year here's a table full of food, forget the diet!

Camp Meeting at Villa Dominga Forest Resort

We had a fulfilling 3-day camp meeting fellowship at Villa Dominga Forest Resort. The place was so big we have to assign pair of young people to oversee the kids' activities all day long because they might get lost. It's a place for retreat, fellowship, vacation, swimming and many others. We've talked with the owner and she's a very nice person, very humble and accommodating. She even attended our fellowship on the second day and made a nice and touching comment on us. My sis Redge and I promised to promote her place in our sites, it's not that hard really because the place is really nice. Actually we've already reserved our holy week fellowship there.

Here's a tour of the place:

BT&T and DSI Christmas Party

Recap on our Christmas Party last December 23

I was already on-leave that day to pack our 3-day things for the camp meeting but I've attended the party 'coz they might ask why I didn't come. As I'm the Admin/HR officer I must see to it that everyone will be seated and served properly in the party. Because some of our employees were designated in other branches they were not well acquainted with other employees, they just know few staff including me. I'm super duper pressured as we will be going to Indang Cavite few hours after the party.

Anyway as my sis always tells me I'm a super woman I turned on my costume and did the job as fast as I could lol!, not a single second wasted! Before I left the house at 6pm everything was ready, all five travelling bags, first aid kits, utensils, food and emergency kit for the whole family and car. Hubby will arrive at 1am because their store will close at 12midnight so I see to it that he'll just rest when he comes home because he'll drive for long hours.

First time we held our party at Gerry's Grill which is just a few meters away from our office, very convenient for all of us and for me also as I'm coming from our house. As always there are lots of games and raffles but everything was well taken care of by the party coordinator. She just assigned me the job of picking up game participants so I exempt myself lol! It was a party for two sister companies DSI and BT&T.

I was a bit dizzy then from doing so much work since early morning so I just visited my old friends' tables from DSI company where I've been employed for 10 years before I transferred to BT&T. I had a lot of close friends there and only a few were left. I missed them so much and because I'm counting this party as my last I went to their tables as soon as the games ended.

It was a lucky day for those who won cash prizes ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 and as always again I wasn't lucky enough but I'm used to it, anyway all were given an attendance prize so actually no one will be going home empty-handed. As for me my mind was set on our travel to Indang so when Cecile offered a ride home Flor and I immediately went with her.

Birthday At My Work

Just to celebrate my birthday with my office mates I've ordered pancit canton at Joey's and hired someone to grill 3 kilos of liempo for our lunch. Since it's also our little party at the main office some brought additional food to complete the menu. It's only an eat-together celebration with a little raffle of small gifts unlike last year where we had a bigger celebration in our adjacent office. We're busy anyway so we didn't planned anything. Anyway we really have plenty of food and some of the excess food were brought home.

I was happy that our friend Mimin (in blue green shirt) came home from Abu Dhabi to spend Christmas here, she's working there for about one year only but she was given a chance to have a vacation with free tickets from her boss, lucky girl! She's there at my birthday cum office party and just seeing her again made me a lot happier! I missed her you know! She's one of my closest friend and my office seatmate :-) we call ourselves escalera sisters!

Here's some pics of us as well as our food:

It's My Birthday!

Woke up this morning feeling fresh and vibrant. I thanked God that He gave me the best things in life, well best for me as I don't ask too much in my life. Having a loving husband, adorable kids, understanding mother and in-laws, thoughtful siblings and true friends are a lot to thank for. I also have a warm community in my home church, kind brethren and a pastor that's been like a second father to me. My wish would be more inspirational write ups that will inspire people, strong faith to keep me closer to God and peace within me and my family. I've seen this nice and cool messages on birthdays and I'd like to share this with you!

Trophies For Remembrance

In every competition you’ll always end either a winner or a loser but that’s part of the game. Actually it’s not important if you’ve win or lose as long as you’ve done your best and you played fair enough. I like sports and seeing a game always excites me, for the players it’s even more exciting if you’ve won the first place because there’s a trophy that will serve as a remembrance of your success.

I’ve seen trophies like basketball trophies, volleyball trophies and many others but what excites me the most is our trophy in bowling in our company friendly game competition last 1996. We won the best of the best bowling competition and I was happy that I’m a part of the yellow team.
