There’s a tangible disappointment swirling inside the house right now. Expectations were running high and more than an hour ago, what we’re afraid to happen did happen. Disappointment is a very mild word to describe what we all felt.
But you know what, while my dad and my sister were both feeling down, my mind was running ahead of me and I was able to control my reactions. I could have commiserated with them but I realized it’s all up to me. I opted to think positive thoughts. Ready for Plan B (that my mind conjured a few hours before the disappointment)!
There’s an 80% chance of me going back to the corporate world. Actually, I’ve been psyching myself about the possibility for several weeks now. I am not excited about it but I resigned myself to the fact that it’s better to be sooner than later for me to go back. I will go back as a part of a company’s management. I won’t be starting down the ladder again. That’s something to be thankful for. I can choose to join a company that will accept my conditions regarding work schedule and I won’t be forced to endure an 8am clock in again. That’s a definite. I can go to the office at 10am, 9:30am the earliest and that’s it. I won’t go earlier than that. I can negotiate a salary I want. Although if the Mondays thru Fridays and 10am schedule will be given to me, I could say yes to a lower salary than I have in mind 
Plan B calls for a BIG decision come 2nd quarter of this coming year. I am worried but I know that I can always make everything positive by staying positive as well…
keeping my fingers crossed

We were walking out of the church, my dad, my sisters, my brother, me and Hazel (our little girl at home). She is being carried by my brother, James. They were walking in front of us and we heard Hazel singing something. When we caught up with them, we laughed out loud when we heard what she’s singing. Guess what it was?
Apologize by Timbaland!
Hahaha
Imagine the little girl singing… It’s too late to apologize…
She doesn’t know the whole song, just that part but she knows the melody. It was really funny!

Hay. I am so sick! The other day, I thought it was just brought on by a few bites of chocolates. Sore throat probably. But then yesterday, I woke up and it became a full blown cold. I drank some medicine already but last night, it turned to flu. Hay. Change of weather might be the culprit… There are parties the family will be going to next week and I hope I will be fully recovered by then.
As for today, I feel a bit okay. Some more medicine and a lot of rest will do me a whole lot of good.
Happy weekend everyone!

Then a sales career might be your ticket to a high flying professional life. But, of course, not everyone who can talk so much has what it takes to become a sales person. Aside from the desire to dish out sales talk, one also should have patience to deal with difficult clients, determination to follow through a sale, and perseverance to try again and again in the face of failure.
So, want a career in sales?

I know most people who have lost their jobs are keen on getting small business loans so they can start anew. I actually know some of them. It will be a good fresh start, having your own business to alleviate the loss in income. But I know that business financing has been a common problem among potential business owners.
365 Small Business Loans can help potential business owners get the business financing they need. They also offer personal loans to those who need it. With this season, and the state of the economy we are all in, a help from a company like 365 Small Business Loans is heaven sent. Either finance a newly opened business, or get additional operating funds. Or even fund a personal expense…
So for those of you are in need of some business help, financing particularly, or for personal expenses, go to 365SmallBusinessLoans.com and get the help you need.

A friend called me up the other day to tell me that she saw some great deals at the mall. One of these great deals are the cellphone packages from three competing telecom networks. I am sorely tempted to go to the mall and check it out for myself. I have to restrain myself, otherwise I might shell out money unnecessarily.
And then I saw that I can buy mobile phones online. Aargh! At least I can check it out without going out of the house. At Mobiles 22, there are deals that you can take advantage of. Are you thinking of giving your loved ones a mobile phone this holiday season? I want to give my sister one, but I want it to be a model that she can use for as long as she wants. Some mobile phones are in my opinion, done hastily and are mostly junk. I have a smartphone that I have been using for years now. That one is already phased out in the market but was quality made.
Anyway, Mobiles 22 offers special mobile phone deals from which I can surely get a gift for my sister. I think I might be getting one for myself as well. I want to replace the Samsung mobile phone that I am currently using. I think I want to new Cookie touch mobile phone from LG. Or another brand, perhaps. I have yet to decide.
So I am off cell phone shopping for now. Interested, too? Go to Mobiles22.com now and come shop for a new mobile phone!

We all need life out of work. Otherwise, if we just continue working and not take time out to relax, we will surely just keel over and die one day. It’s that simple. So how about a vacation package at a jamaica all inclusive resort? Does that sound nice to you as it did to me?
I would love to go on romantic vacations with my special someone. I know that it will only be a limited period of time but for me, that would be enough to rejuvenate my body, recharge my mind and carry me through the remainder of the year. I always look at vacations that way.
With Breezes.com, not only will you be able to get on a romantic getaway, but you can even take part in caribbean weddings. Or even plan one for you and your special someone! Go to Breezes.com and see what they can offer you. I can’t wait to go to Caribbean! See you there!

It was unusually cold here in Manila. I slept early last night. Early for me is 11PM. I didn’t even know I already feel asleep until I woke up around 2AM. The problem with sleeping early is waking up at odd hours for me. When I woke up at 2AM, I thought of going online and doing some stuff. But then I got distracted with analyzing my dreams for the past few days. It has a quality to it that I can’t pinpoint. Anxiety, I think.
I am working myself up again. I am worrying about things. Not that much really but enough to drive me nuts at times. Knowing myself, it would be “scary” if I don’t go through these worrying periods.
Anyway, it’s Christmas next week! Time flies so fast! I am hoping that 2009 will be a better year for all of us. Looking back, this year has been a roller-coaster year for me. 2006 and 2007 were way better than this year. But I am praying (and keeping my fingers crossed) that 2009 is the year for me. Last year ko na sa calendar next year naman kasi! Hahaha

My new buddy during the wee hours of the night that I am all alone, updating my blogs, waiting for opps, dropping cards…
Watching over me… literally.
Cuddling with David hehe
She’s actually part of the loot bag that Hazel got from a birthday party she attended this afternoon. Since she already has lots of little toys, she gave Mocha to me. Cute!

I am not a perfect person. Who is? I am not really kind but I try to be good. I believe that what you do to others will come back either to bless you or haunt you. My outlook of life is that simple. When I help others, that’s because I felt mercy or I am just returning a favor done to me. Most of the time, I am just paying it forward. Much like what I do when I help new bloggers who ask for help. I help them not to make myself look good but because I know how it is to be a newbie, who doesn’t even know a simple HTML code. Someone helped me before and I promised myself that when someone needs my help, I will give it without asking for anything in return.
I also do this offline. I was once so down financially. My family was. I still struggle from time to time but I know there are others who suffer more than I do. When I was down, a friend of mine was there to help me every time I needed it. I promised myself that when the time comes and I am more financially well and someone asked for my help, I will not hesitate to give it.
For others, this attitude is self-serving. But for me, that’s just a simple rule of life… what goes around, comes around. Pay it forward and it will all come back to you down the road. I am thankful and blessed because I was able to realize that life is this simple. Either you turn your back to those who are in need (and somehow expect this to happen to you along the way) or you can exert a little more effort to extend a helping hand and be blessed in return.

I saw this question and it made me think… “Christmas is coming soon, and I really don’t know what I want. Do you know what you want? What is on your list?”
Actually, I already know what I want. It’s a short list that mostly has items connected to books and the new Blackberry, the Amazon Kindle, and so many more. I saw an answer by someone and she wants some new english saddles for her kids who love riding. I saw another answer wherein the person only listed a cable subscription.
I realized that so many people have simple dreams and wants that if only I have enough money, I would want to grant the wishes even half of those in the list.
