Browsing New Templates

It’s Ramadhan holiday today! Me and sis Redge were busy with choosing new template for our blogs. I want to change my layout template for my other domain blog ‘Moments of My Life’. I’m thinking if I will do it now because it will take me time to completely change and I’ll have to save the codes to be sure that I’ll be able to put back the codes in case it didn’t showed up in the new template. I decided to do it next time that I have free time because I have to do some due assignments on my other blog. I’ll be leaving also a little later to attend bible study in Cubao. Josh was asking me if he could come with me and I said I’ll think about it. I’ll bring him with me but I’ll just surprise him later.

Health is Suffering

I have to decide what to do with my resignation. I’m thinking of agreeing to what my boss was telling when I resigned last May that I work at home and report twice a week. I didn't agree with that schedule as my Mom and my family really needs me but until now I don't have someone to turn over my load. I was worrying about my health I’m working myself too hard, keeping up my blogs and sleeping 2-3 hours only everyday. I need to have my B.P. checked up as I know I’m always on the side of low blood pressure. Hope I’ll be able to decide this matter as soon as possible.

Tired From Yesterday’s Travel

I’m still tired from yesterday night’s travel to Laguna. Thank God it’s Sunday today and I thanked Him also for guiding us all in our trip, holding my brothers hand in driving our way to my cousin’s wake. Even if we crossed the zigzag and mountainous roads of Laguna God never failed to stretch His guiding hand on us. I really felt His hand holding our car when we suddenly encountered a zero visibility winding road due to fog. Without God on our side we will never be able to pass that road safely. God is good all the time!

Traveled to Cousin’s Wake

I’ve rounded up my weekend chores to my best possible fast pace because we’re scheduled for Laguna today. My first cousin Ka Viring died last Thursday, me and my siblings decided to go there today because it’s the only possible time schedule for my brother since he had some bible study schedules and construction payroll.

Mom can’t make it because of her arthritis so it’s just the three of us, Big Brother, Me and Redge. We didn’t bring the kids as evening trip is not favorable and conducive to children. It was a foggy trip ahead of us and it’s my first time to encounter heavy fog on our trip giving us no view of the road ahead of us. With God’s guiding hand we safely reached Famy, Laguna and finally visited the wake of our cousin. Uncle Ipeng, the only sibling of my Mom and our relatives there were just as happy to see us all. Uncle Iping and his children are very dear to us as they’re the ones who helped my Mom in caring and raising us. Mom always has an assistant you know!

We stayed for another hour or so in Kang Duneng’s house where Orly said goodbye as he’s again bound for Qatar on Oct. 8 to work as Technician, he’s only on vacation this month. After eating what Kang Duneng has cooked we again traveled back to Cainta encountering roads dangerous twists and heavy mountain fogs. We thanked God that we arrived home safe and sound with His help.

Tight Schedule

I was a bit sleepy and tired because of last night’s late arrival from bible study. Well I’m used to getting up early even if I sleep very late also. Sometimes I didn’t watched closely how late that I sleep past 2am then waking up 4:30 in the morning to cook for my kids because I want them to eat rice on mornings and they bring lunch meals to school. It’s hard because after preparing things and food for them including my youngest Josh I have to get ready before 8am to go to my office in Libis. And my work? It’s tough too because I handle multi-tasking works such as hr, administrative, accounting, billing, collection and whatever job where no one handles! Tough work, tight schedule! But I love it, I like cooking for my family and being an OC Mom to them! Someday soon I’ll have time for myself! Wishes!

Cooking For Bible Study

I left the office earlier than usual because we’re hosting the weekly Wednesday bible study in our church. No one’s going to cook for me as I don’t have any helper. Mom was offering to lend me a cooking hand but I told her I will just go home earlier because she will get tired. I’ll cook 5 kilos of menudo and I think that’s heavy on my Mom. I’ll be needing her master taste in food though! When I reached the house Mom has already fixed and get all things ready for me, she’s really a dear Mom! I’m so blessed having her as my mother, not only a good cook but a loving mother and a good teacher to my kids as well! I reached the house at 3:30pm and at 5:00 pm my food was cooked.

I still need to place it in food keepers for easy traveling. Nice that my mother-in-law is always in-charge of cooking and bringing 6 kilos of rice because that’s also hard to cook evenly! I’ve brought Gen along with me so I’ll have someone to assist me, she’s an angel when it comes to helping me! We reached the church just in time for the starting up and during dinner churchmate told me that my menudo taste really good! Such compliments!

Planning Menu

I was planning menu for Wednesday bible study which we will be hosting this week. In our church bible study families took turns in hosting dinner food for around 40 people attending bible study. There are 8 families who are hosting on a regular basis which makes it every 8 weeks. We regard hosting as a blessing to us and every hosting bring about so much blessing in our family. We started hosting 3 years ago and in all those hostings God never failed giving us financial capacity to host. Money just keeps on coming back to you if you put it on the right areas especially on the fellowship services. Just always remember that God is our Jehovah Jireh, our provider that supplies all our needs according to His riches and glory!

Birthday Blowout

As promised Osang gave her birthday blowout today, here in our office we really love to eat and every birthday that falls on weekdays were never missed to celebrate. Sometimes if it falls on weekends we adjust it to the following working days. Osang brought chicken lollipops, lumpiang shanghai and ordered cake and lechon manok. She also requested Art to cook liempo in turbo. Well this is not all because Rissa came with a cake also and another visitor brought another. That’s not a problem anyway because we love cakes! We really like having Rissa around on birthdays because we miss her since she left BT&T last year. She’s as pretty as ever even if she’s 3 months preggy! Well now everybody seemed to forget diet lol!

Just look at the pictures and you’ll say yummy!

Still No Replacement

I’ve called Jim, our sister co. DSI’s accountant who is in-charge of looking and evaluating applicants to replace my position and will also be our company’s accountant. I’ve handling supervisory position in accounting department and at the same time acts as HR and Administrative Officer here. The work just bloated since I was transferred here. Actually from Design Science I was transferred to BT&T Telecoms to handle billing, collection and carrier settlement only but through the years all the positions I’ve mentioned suddenly fall on me making me perform multi-tasks work.

There’s still no replacement for me. The applicants for accountant didn’t pass my boss’ specific requirements regarding experience, skills and personality. It’s the third applicant that they’ve interviewed so far but still there’s no sign of hiring right now. I’ll have to think of a way how I can manage to squeeze in my full time work with my blogging and also my family. Oh I’m really busy!

Flexitime Sked

Quite happy this evening as my boss approved my request for a flexitime schedule. I've requested this schedule due to the ongoing manila-east road widening in our town which causes a lot of delay on me on my way to work. As anyone can see whenever they passes A. Bonifacio Avenue in Cainta there's a lot of mess caused by the slow demolition and clearing up. Every morning I tried to talk to anyone in the contractors' team to clear up but they would always say tomorrow. I can't actually put the blame on them as they're just a daily wage earner, I should be reporting this to the higher ranks as now I'm fearing for dengue due to new drainage construction which were done amazingly slow.

I appealed to my boss as I'm only extending my stay until they find someone to replace my position. My boss is really considerate as he immediately approved my request. It was a big help on my part as I'll have the flexibility of time to work eight hours a day and completing them conveniently. This is a good evening for me, I learned my boss' reply this night only while I'm doing some posts.
