Kikay's Get Together

We are a group of six girl friends. And of course girls are basically fashionistas. We love to buy clothes, shoes, bags, accessories and even make-ups. There are times when we really buy things of the same kind as if we are in uniform for a dance number.

After a long time, last Saturday we did the shopping again at Greenhills Shopping Centre. There I've got my new shoes, a blazer, a black blouse, a striped sando, white shirt for my hubby, set of panties for my cousin and a toy for my baby coi.

Indeed there are vast selections to choose from at Greenhills and take note... at an affordable price. We will never get tired going back in there but for next time we just need to increase our budget.

Think Positive

Lately, I've been crying a lot because I am worrying a lot. I am usually afraid of some things to happen and it's taking me nowhere.

I realized I need to stay focus and think of positive things instead. Above all things, I need to pray a lot. Only in Him we can find peace and comfort.

So let us not cut our connections to God. Communicate as often as possible. Surely He will lead us to the right path. That's the power of prayer.

When is the right time to let go and to hold on?

When is the right time to raise your hands on love? Sometimes I feel like I can no longer bear things out, I feel like giving up. I was asking myself where did I go wrong? Where did I fall short of? Is there anything I have not done which should be done?

I am losing hope. When is the right time to let go and to hold on? Lord, please give me enough of strength to carry things out.

Blog for Beauty and Fashion

Just recently, I was asked by my friend if I have a blog specially designated for fashion and beauty and that's when I realized that almost all of my blogs have personal themes. And so I decided to dedicate this one for that purpose.

Next plan is for me to buy a new domain intended for this. However, I am afraid that it will get back to Page Rank 0 while it has already gained a PR1.

I hope that by next time, I would have more time to spend on blogging.

I Am Jealous

I know he loves me and I believe him so but I can't help myself being jealous at times. But the good thing about me being jealous is that I am not allowing myself to be controlled of such negative emotion.

I guess I have to keep myself in focus, concentrating much on the good things rather than on its opposite. That I have to fully build and strengthen my trust on him.

Above all, I know I should pray and I really must because that's the only thing that could keep everyone to be patient enough about life and love.

Hope Nivea Would Love Me too

My friend Niko is very much appreciative of those packages sent by Nivea to her. I have also expressed my interest on the same since she shared the thing with me.

Honestly, I am a loyal and frequent Nivea user. I love the products and I do trust the quality and its superb effects to maintain  a woman's beauty and personal hygiene.

I just hope Nivea would love me as well. Rest assured that I will continuously promote the products.

CC: Boss Thoughts of My Being A Mommy

I have asked my husband about what he thinks of me as a mother to my son Coi and I am glad he answered me positively else I would throw him out of the room tonight. Hehe!

 

He said that I am a caring and loving mom despite me being busy working in the office, that I can still teach my son well and I can give him all his needs.

 

He is glad to meet someone like me who can impose discipline to my child. I may not be the best mother but at least I have the heart of a mom and acting as one for Coi.

 

Belated Happy Mother's Day to the moms in the blogosphere!

Overly Romantic

"And it's overly romantic but I know that it's real, I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel". What I feel may not be fully related to the song but I know I am becoming really overly romantic these days.

But I love what I am doing. I love taking care of my boss, attending to his needs. I love being a wife the same way as I love being a mother to my son.

I feel better and happier everyday and I am constantlly praying that this feeling won't end. <3

Unsuccessful Marriage

Even if it is not an ideal scenario, still it happens. There may be a lot of marriage set-up ending not successful. Sometimes, we try to question couples going through the situation and we assume that things are just so easy to handle. But we have to understand the reality that we couldn't grasp a thing unless we experienced it.

 

If you are a friend of someone who have been in that kind of broken relationship, you may or may not ask. Not that you need to tolerate the wrong doings but it's enough you have given advice and spoken of your opinion on the matter but do not ever interfere. You may symphatize on how they feel but do not insist in telling them what to do instead.

 

We need not put our shoes on theirs to grab an idea of what causes these things to happen. It is a fact that there are some irreconcilable differences between persons which both of them can no longer embraced and sometimes it would be better for them to part ways than stay on the relationship and eventually hurt each other more. There are issues which are hard for people to resolve. There are some portions in life where you can not force them to accept.

 

More often than not we just need to charge things to experience. Anyways, experience is the best teacher. Who knows? Hopes remain and the next time around they'll be able to carry the same instances with ease and adjust themselves to work a relationship out once and for all.

CC: Boss Isn't Appreciative

I love to cook. Kitchen is one of my favorite spots. Seldom that I failed in my cooking activity. Most of the time, what I cooked taste just right. But my boss isn't appreciative about it. He doesn't want to be asked about the taste of food. So I would rather not attempt.

But just last week I served him sauteed ampalaya (bittergourd)with egg for our lunch. That's the first time I heard him say that our viand was delicious. He ate a lot that time and that pleases me very much.

Even though he tends to say something lacks on everything I cook for him, still he takes more than I expect him to eat. That way I feel simply rewarded. Actions speak louder than words. Burp!

CC: How Do I Annoy Him?

He usually gets annoyed everytime I would bite him; sometimes on his fingers, arms or shoulders. His wacky mood would also turn to its opposite if I would tease him of something about his past. Expect us to have petty quarrel when he sees me wearing dress with plunging necklines.

There may be a lot of things eventually leading to a non-serious argument but it is still better for me to avoid things that pisses him off and vice versa.

Perhaps it is even more important that you know each other very well and be able to determine which among the things you argue about are serious in its sense.

Wanting To Scream

Have you been in a situation wherein you have a lot of things to say but you just can't utter any of those words? In as much as you would want to scream what's in your thoughts sometimes there's something within that controls you.

No one wishes for the worst scenario. Instinctively, you don't intend to hurt other people's feelings. However, there are times when you just have to say a little of what's in your mind and keep a portion of it.

If I could only spill out these negative emotions then I would probably do it instantly. It's hard. It is as if I am being pulled apart again.

CC: Honey Are We Lost?

We haven't been lost together so far with our usual means of transportation - my boss' motorcycle. More often than not he makes sure that the directions are clear going to our destination.


However, there was this one time that we almost end up fighting. I meet up with my friends in a subdivision here in Cavite while he is still in the office. I asked to just follow when his work is done. I gave him the sketch through a text message. I have got no question from him so I was confident then that he knows the place. When he is about to go to my friend's place we do text while he is on his way. Right then I realized that he is lost asa he assumed that the address I have given him is not a subdivision so he stopped from somewhere. He was so annoyed then and so am I as I knew I have given him enough of information. Good thing I was able to control myself and did not even bothered to get back at him in a negative way. Instead I tried to understand him that he was already tired plus the weather is extremely hot that time. Also, he had no choice but to see me as he almost ran out of fuel and the budget is with me. Hehe!


When he get to see me, it was apparent that he's not in the mood but he had to compose himself as that will be his first time to meet my college friends.We tried to talk things out on our way home and glad that no one was so persistent. We just shared our points and both accepted our faults.


This will be my share for this week's:

Pessimistic Me Once More

Sometimes I wonder if it's me and my dirty mind who's at fault. Isn't it that I've got a fast mind to think ahead? I guess nothing's wrong with that but thinking the negative way was my usual problem. I don't know if it's because of lack of trust, or something that has to do with his history or was it brought about by my own experiences.

I hate arguments. I want to talk things out right away. I don't want any delay as that could even lead me to more negative thoughts. As such I tend to become too persistent and demanding yet I always long for understanding.

I need an assurance as I want to let go of this kind of character. I want to live again.

FQF: 5 Star Hotel Would Do

1. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

Physically, I want myself to become slim this time as there really are a lot of things heavier person can't do.
2. Write about a time when you got lost.

I have not been lost so far.


3. Camping or 5 star hotel?

5 star hotel. Have experienced camping several times.

4. Have you donated blood?

Many times before.

5. Do you have a budget or do you 'fly by' most months?

I am usually out of budget and I am honest about it. =)

CC: When we are Getting Ready

If there's one thing which easily pisses me off that is if I waited longer than expected. I really hate to wait the same thing as I hate to be late. Very seldom that I came late in an activity, so when there are plans of going out or something even myself just going to office; I make sure that everything has been set - I have thought about the things to bring, what to wear and just about anything. Maybe it's because I became naturally forgetful so I really have to make plans ahead of time. Hehe!


Most of the time I am excited to go out with my love regardless of where we are going as long as I am with him.

CC: How Did We Celebrate Being Together

Continuation from last post.

We do celebrate our monthsary which is of course every month just like teenage couples do. Hihi! However, the very moment after our most difficult encounter (so far) there was no extra special celebration that took place.

Things just get back to original, just like the ordinary days where the presence of sweet and kilig moments remains less the quarrel.

Even though it seems normal for us being together we treasure every minute of it. We just love each other that much and I hope that love stays with us and endures forever.

My entry for this week's:

Comforting Myself on Tax Deductions

If I am not an accountant, I guess it would be harder for me to understand why my net pay this time just got this small considering we have our annual bonus paid as well. It is as if I didn't work for half a month and all I received is a pro-rated incentive equivalent to 75% (prorated).

 

Sometimes I would like to show angst against the government and the administrators as here we are ordinary people working harder as we can and yet they are sitting on the senate with their colleagues arguing on the millions of money stolen from the fund contributed by us people.

 

Where are their conscience? I wonder how they can take it feeding their family from something they did not work on.

 

I firmly believe that this is indeed one of the reasons why our country's progress is still hampered and will remain this way unless the government will change in favor of the Philippines and its people.

Better than Last Week

At least I am feeling better now.
I can somehow taste the food I eat and smell the fume I have sprayed just behind my ears.
A lot far better than last week.
Maybe the medications I am taking are helping me somehow.
Sometimes you really have to seek professional medical advice for some of the illness that your feeling may it not be that really serious.
While there are times that cough and colds seem very ordinary you still need to give yourself some kind of special attention because it is your health which is at stake.

Controlling the Pessimist in You

There are times when I can help myself to becoming a pessimist and inhabit some negative thoughts. In as much as I wouldn't want to start a quarrel or even a petty misunderstanding, that attitude is pulling me into it.

 

More often than not it is better to keep myself quiet but I still have to control myself on sudden burst of emotion as it could also lead me to something worst - an impulsive flow of expressions through my sharp tongue.

 

Still I guess it's best to talk things out in the soonest possible and available time but make sure to thoroughly weigh in your emotions, to carefully think where your words could lead you, its good effects as well as its consequences.

CC: Back in Each Other's Arms

As some sort of a continuation from my last week's sharing, just after the comforting moments we end up sleeping in one bed.

Oooops... I know what you're thinking... Hehe!

Honestly, nothing happened that night maybe because we were too tired about the quarrel.

We just slept together embracing each other.

And when the morning came, we both get up happier than ever as if nothing awful took place.

Wink!

RT: Happy Birthday Lola

Happy Birthday Lola

Since Red is usually associated with birthday and so with that I would like to greet my grandmother a very happy birthday today.

I wish she could read this so she would know how much I love her despite me being hard-headed most of the time.

May you have longer life and a better health condition.

Thank you for raising me up. I also owe you  my life. I love you.

My share for: 

Moody Monday: Indulgent

Glad to have found a new meme for my Emotera blog. Well, I guess it's just right since it relates to each other.
Mood has really something to do with emotions.

This my first time here at:

While it talks about indulgent, I just would like to share about my cravings these past few days, and it is the:

Chocolate Almonds

I can't get myself to munch on something sweet as I currently have cough and my boyfriend says that it could aggravate the condition. So I guess I have to wait for few more days before I could taste another bunch of chocolate almonds.

Hmmn... Looking forward to it...

The story I've shared on CC last week relates to current topic. The same instance has brought me so much of emotion that led me to shed a large amount of tears. With a lot of sentiments I cried until I came to the point of running after my breath. That is simply because of the thought of losing each other at that very moment.

Good thing he was there to comfort me despite having his own sense of awful feeling due to our quarrel. When I finally stopped crying that's the time when we talked sincerely and seriously until we finally get to resolve the issue.

Be Fair Please...

My blog Just for a Thought has now been transferred to another domain and hosting site. It gives me joy merely looking at its new face in its new home. I have been busy arranging all the stuffs related to it and even submitting it to some advertising sites.

Full of excitement, I exerted much effort on the very first site that gave me an opportunity but I was told by my friend that it is a bogus blog advertising site.

I have accomplished the post with all of the requirements and now I don't know if I will really be compensated by it.

Sigh!

CC: When We Thought its Over

I guess its more than a month ago since we had our hardest fight so far. We got into the point where I threw away his helmet after I asked him to stop the motorcycle, he left me literally alone in the dark (along the highway but he fetched me back) just because of few simple things that we've both misunderstood.

The quarrel started when I suddenly become quiet while we are in a night out. While we have not yet discussed things out, I opened it up to one of our companions during the night who happened to be (as we thought) one of his closest friends.

When his friend and me are already exchanging text messages on how my boss behaves at times, that friend  started to give me some advice which are really against him. I almost felt betrayed and fooled on that moment and made myself realized that at least it is still early for me to learn about boss' purpose on me. In short, I was influenced by those words from a stranger that I almost did not listen to him and got mad at him so bad.

Glad we were able to talk things out and settle the issue on the same night. After a week had passed, that's the only time when we further apprehended that we almost lost each other just because of some persuasive words from a person which were yet unconfirmed. From then on our bond became even stronger and agreed that we must talk about things first prior to listening to other people's opinion. At least we learned from it and we have surpassed the instance when we have thought that it was already over between us.

Since then we're not fighting anymore. =)

And now I am happy to be back here at:

RT: 3 Red Roses

Just would like to share with you a bundle of 3 red roses I got from the most romantic person last Valentine's Day.

Happy to be back here at Ruby Tuesday. Have Fun everyone!

I Know

I know you're silently watching me.
I know you're still interested hearing updates about me.
I know you're still trying to figure things out.
I know that you know things by now.
I know how much I have hurt you.
I know I need to thank you so much for everything you have done and given me.
I know I have been so unfair but I know it will be more unfair if I will just let things be.
I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but still I want to say that I am so sorry.
There's more to life than having me, than loving me and I am sure you also know that. 

UNDECIDED

It is March already, first quarter of the year is about to end.

Honestly, I am bored by now.

This boredom is eating me up.

I am no longer excited to go to office.

I am no longer keen to finish my tasks earlier than required.

I am becoming so impatient these days.

There are times when I just want to descend and drowned myself out of this crazy world.

I am worried somehow.

Yet I am still undecided.

I don't know what to do.

I am at blank.

I need signs, signs and signs.

Please wake me up - awaken my senses.

 

Confused about Love

I am writing this post for a friend. If only I can give her the best advice that will make her feel better than she does.

I know how hard it is to fall in love at the wrong time - to fall for a person already taken by someone. The feelings may be right but the situation made it inappropriate.

Should I tell her to wait? Until when? Isn't it just giving her false hopes?

Should I advise her to fight for her feelings? I am not fully aware on how it was worth fighting for the man. I haven't had a grasp even a bit of the guy's personality.

I don't know if I am right telling her to do the things that make her happy.

Pursuing that kind of feeling is as if gambling and betting without you knowing the prize at stake.Getting yourself involved in such kind of situation is taking a risk and in the end you must be aware and ready for the consequences. =(

 

 

Am I Seeing The Sign Now?

I guess I have lost my interest. I once told myself that I will keep myself as I am in the meantime. I had no plans yet until something happened yesterday.

I almost lost my self-control. I have lost my respect. They just ruined my trust. My patience is almost gone.

I might be the one at fault but at least now I know whom my enemies are. This time I am thinking little by little. Should I stay or should I go?

I remember lately I was asking for a sign as I really feel empty and undecided. Is it the sign I was waiting?

One at a Time

Little by little as I replenish myself on the sudden loss of appetite in blogging, I am trying to maintain life balance still.

Obviously, it is not easy. A lot of things may have been sacrificed already but it should really be the set-up. We really cannot do things instantly at the same time so we might end up taking things on a piecemeal basis; evaluating the level of importance of each activity, putting into practice the method of prioritizing things and exercising the virtue of patience.

Yet there are times when we cannot help ourselves but to put things in a hurry - on that we must take some sort of caution.

Let us give it a try - one at a time.

 

Nafi - Our New Baby

Meet our new baby - Nafi. She got her name out of nowhere last February 14, 2011. She is a little light brown teddy bear with eyes, nose and paws all in gloomy brown shade. But she looks blooming and cheerful with the cute green ribbon tied in her neck.

She is just one of those simple things that tie us up together, a plain witness of our valued moments and an object of our precious love. She is a gift out of an effort that surprised me big time. I just love and appreciate so much even just the attempt of merely showing sweetness by means of Nafi.
