My days are passing more quickly nowadays, thanks to work and moonlighting to updating the site CANE (see link here) on weekdays, worship team practices on Saturdays (I've been on probation for 3 weeks already!), and service/CG/family gatherings on Sundays. I may look like I'm juggling too many things at once but I still get a lot of rest, with my Lord Jesus Christ's grace and strength that help me finish all my work on time. I can't do all the things I want just whenever I feel like it- read a book, hang out, or lie on bed all day, some things definitely have to give way; but I can still afford a few distractions every now and then like surfing the net, watching TV(Asian Food Channel-my guilty pleasure at the moment), and playing Wii (having said that, my left arm's still a little painful by the way) so scrap the time management, it really just boils down to PRIORITIES!:) My hands aren't that full yet, I've had much busier times before, but I do not want to overdo myself. Apparently, I'm not the healthiest person on earth so I've been taking things slowly for the past weeks, so that once I've completely recovered, go ng go na ulit (*but with greater caution this time:).
I hope to finally have the time to revamp this blog of mine on Saturday or Sunday, because that's going to be one big distraction out of my head..haha. I also intend to give more time to editing our yearbook for the sake of getting over it and moving further, if not to appease my furious (*as in furious!) batchmates. But before I say goodbye to March 2011, here's a recap of the highlights of my month:
March 6th- Splurged on SM Mall sale! I'm just beginning to learn the ropes to being a shopper because back in college, I was only a bookstore-grocery-fastfood/restaurant kind of girl. The typical shirt-and-jeans/shorts-flats getup is my usual and comfort style, with leeway to skirts and heels every now and then but I'm so proud of myself for the items I was able to purchase while remaining loyal to the budget I've set for myself. Shopping isn't so hard after all!:)
March 7th-Bonggang Bag Wrapping
Yes..bag wrapping...because my cousins are selling imported signature bags online and 3 enormous boxes all came at the same time so I helped out with the wrapping before the bags would be delivered to their customers. It is not exactly a highlight but it's on my calendar nonetheless and for free advertising, I decided to place the link to their facebook account here- Zach-Aisha's Closet for all my imaginary readers out there who might be interested:)
March 10-11th- Customer Service Excellence Training "The Dynamics of Customer Service Excellence: Creating an Obsession for Sensation"
It was a workshop facilitated by Mr. Randy Esguerra of SUCCESS COACH, sponsored and required in our office since we're constantly dealing with our patients/customers; but I enjoyed it and I certainly learned a lot so I figured I could consider it as one of my highlights. The right MINDSET and CONNECTION is the way to go!
*a visitor/probable investor from Ohio also came by our office on the night of March 11th to see our operations and based on the positive news we got from our boss, I guess we did well:)
March 12th- PLAAANEEETSHAAKERSSS!!!

March 17th- Happy Burpday Ate Vikki!
I don't have pictures with my cousin, Ate Vikki, that night because I was rushing to eat so as not to be late for work. I helped out in cooking the lasagna though, and I loved it! I also loved the choco mousse and the fried chicken, and the nachos in homemade cheese sauce and salsa was superb. I wish we had an opportunity to personally and intently pray for her...but I guess I need to pray for myself and work on my confidence and timing more...I did pray for her, on my own though, and I wished her all the best in this life..Happy birthday again Ate Vikki!
March 22nd- I received my royalties for the first time! Super thank you Lord for all your blessings- for the business, for Kim, Irish, Yong and for all those who joined and believed in us! More blessings to come!
March 25th- Kuya Zach's Graduation!
My nephew Zach, Ate Vikki's son, graduated Valedictorian in Preparatory..quite a feat huh?!..hahaha..we went through his speech the entire day on the 24th to make sure he memorized his lines accurately to the point na mag-away na kami and he no longer wanted to be a valedictorian, I even had to promise to buy him Play Doh as his reward...haha...but all went well and we're just so proud of kuya! I really pray that he grows up to become a good boy/man as he increases in knowledge..para balanced ang IQ and EQ:)
March 26- umeEarth Hour
We became one with the people all over the world who participated in the Earth Hour (8:30-9:30pm) by turning all our lights off and not using any appliance...we even extended up to 10 pm:) But knowing it would be boring especially for Zach, we had a pizza/pasta/chicken party outside the house courtesy of Yellow Cab, taking lots of pictures while we were eating. Sabi ng manong delivery boy, "Maam, wala po ata kayong ilaw."..hahaha...ang sarap sagutin ng "Oo nga po eh, pinambili na po kasi namin ng pizza 'yung pambayad ng kuryente.":p
*pics coming soon
March 27th- Pia's Graduation Thanksgiving Party!!!
Pia also graduated from prep or kindergarten I think, (halatang pagkain lang ang habol..haha), she had one of the most simple yet food-filled party ever. I overate, as in overate talaga...it was a literal pig-out with our family of 'pigs'..haha...but it was certainly fun catching up with our relatives. The next day though, I earned the consequence of my being a glutton- I woke up at around 3 am because I was feeling nauseated and I was only relieved when (tabi-tabi po) I finished vomiting, I guess much of the food I ate- partially digested version...so there, I learned my lesson- I'll stay away from eating too much squid and mushrooms next time:)...I badly need to learn when to stop eating...haay:(
So there I go...with emphasis on the "I"...with this post as another proof that this is indeed a personal blog/diary/journal...
April's beginning and I have lots of exciting upcoming happenings on my schedule so it'll surely be fun...but I'm looking forward more to the happy, surprising events to come that's not on my calendar...with God leading me, I'm just sure that the coming days are gonna be AWESOME! meow
