2011

2011 was a year full of surprises and challenges - both personal, family, and career-wise. The rise and fall of things, the strengthening and weakening of others. But, I would like to focus more on the blessings I received this year, as well as the things my family has been blessed with. To start off, the beginning of the year saw the start of my career in Maersk. Sure I started in Dec 2010, but...

Tired

Just got home afte a really tiring, disappointing, depressing, and mostly stressful day. My nerves are sooooo wound up real tight right now and I am this close (imagine me doing that "this close" hand/finger gesture!) to giving up. I know work is hectic and there is a different kind of pressure compared to my previous work, but I'm not so sure if this is really what I signed up for. Well, I thought...

Yaya / Helper Woes

For some reason I keep experiencing hiring household help who ends up leaving. Is it the condition of our home or do I just keep on getting the wrong people? Some have too many demands like going home and having overnight every weekend, while some do not like to wear uniforms even though the clothes are really nice and resemble nursing scrubs. At some point it gets tiring, you know. So tiring that...

Need to Lose Weight

And I am serious. Seriously. I have gained 15 pounds (at least) over the last year, and I don't think I even changed my eating habits. I tried things (except exercise hahaha) ranging from the lemonade diet, to limited carbs, to whatever I can think of and I'm still this glump of jiggly fat. Check out...

"Do You Have So and So..."

One of the small stuff that I do sweat about is this... imagine you are about to pay in cash in a counter (most likely in a department store) and the cashier asks you.. "Ma'am, do you have a smaller bill..." or "Ma'am, do you have so and so amount?" Seriously, you are a big department store and yet you don't have change? Definitely I give a bigger bill because, well, that's probably the only money...

MP vs JMM

Today as the first time I ever watched a boxing fight of Manny at pay per view. It was soooo stressful hahaha! I was used to knowing the results first before watching. It was a good experience though, and I would love to watch the "remaining" MP matches live on PPV. Anyways, well well well. controversial as it seems, I honestly believe that Manny won. Initially, yes, I was a bit confused how he won...

Hyundai Santa Fe 2012

While the husband was waiting for me, he dropped by the Hyundai showroom near my office. His jaw dropped upon seeing the Santa Fe SUV, which he claimed was way better than the Tucson that I once salivated at. I told him I still preferred the Fortuner. Hehehe. I love the bulk. Hahaha. But just right...

Car Maintenance Quote Rant

I was really happy last time when Honda casa advised us a few months back that for the next maintenance checkup, the cost will be considerably lower. Imagine my surprise when the husband told me the actual cost. It was double the price mentioned to us before! Of course, I can;t do anything much about it except rant I guess, but come one, is there no one you can trust now when it comes to giving quotes?...
