Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Thanks Vannie and Architect for this one. you just made me smile!


Toss this smile along to your friends who brightened up your day
or those whose days you want to brighten up.

Each day is a wonderful reason to celebrate!

It's a Monday and yet I feel it was already Friday evening for I want to spend the rest of my day on a rest and relaxation. I was busy as a bee last weekend. Last Saturday, Ian and I attended PTA meeting at 2 p.m and prior to that I woke up as early as 5:00 a.m to laundry our overflowing pile of clothes and a short trip to grocery at 12:00 noon. The PTA meeting includes discussion of Christmas Programs and election of Officers, thank God I was no longer elected this time! Last year I was the treasurer but hubby was elected as the PRO and the position is just fine for tasks are not complicated. Field trip and distribution of cards are also included. The meeting ended up at 5:00 p.m. By 5:30 Gabby and I were already on our way to the new place of my parents somewhere in Sampaloc and reach the place past 6 p.m already. I was really so tired and exhausted by then. Sunday was spent whole day by cleaning and organizing- fixing the house. Moving up is really hard especially if it's cramming. haay!

Anyway, here's a conversation re: watching your favorite t.v shows.

This has been my favorite part of the house in Quiapo, I've lived and basically grew up there. spending 17 years in this house (we moved there when I was 7 till I moved to Mandaluyong at 24 then) just like being in love and broken hearted, one has to leave and moved on... And I remember how it breaks my heart and had this heavy feeling when I first leave then and transferred to Mandaluyong. Now, time has come that my parents will be totally moving out there. No matter how "bulok" it is, still it has created an impact on who I am right now, the memories of our stay there will be forever remembered and cherished. I am a totally "batang Quiapo" So to speak, but not a madurukot huh?! hehehe. I graduated at Quiapo Parochial School. took up elementary and high school, It was run by the Sisters of St. Paul then. I remember that our Principal would always regard us as the Paulinians. Oh diba? and even sings the Paulinian hymn.. "Hark Sons and Daughters of St. Paul." But Quiapo Pachial School has changed its name into the Black Nazarene when something controversial happened after I graduated there and is now handled by the Quiapo church administration and no longer the sisters of St. Paul. Sabi nga nila, Quiapo daw is the counterpart of Tondo. I know, I know... Many stories has been said about Quiapo, the famous movie of late Fernando Poe Jr. and Maricel Soriano. If you want low priced cameras, just look for Hidalgo street near the Quiapo Church and beside the church are those vendors selling herbal medicines.. Oh well, I remember before I was pregnant with gabby, while passing by the quiapo church, one vendor approached me and said " Ma'm CYTOTEC ka? " I was like, "Hellllo??? Mukha ba akong magpapalaglag sa laki ng tiyan ko? was eight mos. pregnant then. Ian couldn't help but laugh out. And the ever famous line whenever you pass by the Muslim area in Barbosa street, "Dibidi, dibidi, dibidi" . And this I will truly miss every year...

But we will still be present there every year in devotion to the black Nazarene... No matter what happens. Quiapo will always be forever in my heart.

See why HERE . but something surprising had happened an hour ago here at our office. My boss called me and was asked to follow him at the conference room. Nyay! was so scared to death that am having thoughts that he will reprimand my blogging during office hours and being caught surfing the net. But then, they allowed us to use internet for as long as it doesn't affect our work. The boss asked me " Des after lunch pag-akyat mo, saan ka tumuloy?" I was like, Huh?! I said, pumasok po ng room, nilagay ko yung bote (my water) sa mesa then nagpunta ng banyo para magtoothbrush! he then asked, "anong ginagawa ni J? I said, nagco-computer po. Pagbalik mo ng kwarto, ano ulit ginagawa ni J? nagco-computer po.

After a couple of minutes more, he then called J and I guess was also asked questions and so with K! yup, we were 3 employees at that time. Minutes passed again, He came in and uttered this words to the three of us...

May nawawala akong pera. ayoko magbintang pero before lunch, nandito pa yon. after lunch pagbalik ko nawala na! ewan ko kung sino ang kumuha sa inyo or sino ang nangati ang kamay kanina, bibgyan ko kayo hanggang bukas ng umaga para iwan sa lamesa ko. kung lumabas, kakalimutan ko na nangyari 'to kapag hindi lumabas, mag-iiba ang tingin ko sa inyo.

Nyay talaga! as in natense ako. Why oh why!!! 4 na piraso lang kami dito sa office na employee and at the time na nangyari ang "pagkawala" 3 lang kami na nandito. grabeh talaga. Ang hirap magsalita and to point fingers... but my God. sa lahat ng hate ko ay mapagbintangan lalo na when it deals with money! remember my dilemma before HERE? but what is important is that I have my clean conscience and honesty right?! kaso, unfair naman sa walang kasalanan kung di ilagay sa mesa/isoli ang pera. Ang hirap naman siguro magtrabaho if you know the bosses don't trust you anymore di ba?! let's see tomorrow what happens next.....

Vannie, Mich and Wheng tagged me here. thanks girls.

Some Rules:


1. favorite soap: Palmolive

Nanay (Mom): Hello des?!

Me : O' bakit? anong nangyari?

( Oh why? what happened?)

Nanay (Mom): tumawag ako kay Ian, humiram ako ng 2,500 pambayad ng tuition ni L di siya maka-exam. walang-wala akong pera. yung pambayad ng kuryente pinapunta ko si D kay kuya mo para humiram. mapapahiram ba ako ni Ian?

(I called up Ian, and borrowed 2,500 pesos from him to pay L's tuition fee. I don't really have money now, I asked D to go to your brother to borrow for the payment of electricity bill. Will Ian lend me?)

Me : Oo sige, ipakuha mo na lang pera para makabayad ng tuition si L.

(Yes, ok! just ask L to get the money to pay her tuition fee.)

Nanay: 2,500 hiram ko hindi 250 ha?!

(I am borrowing 2,500 pesos and not 250 pesos huh?! )

Me : Ok.
