Whew! What an eventful summer it is for GE!

Haha..good that I can save some money while enjoying the summer. =)

Ooops! another 2 events to attend to..GE Volunteers Beach Clean Up at Morong, Bataan and next April 29-30 at Puerto Galera for our ET&L team building. How's that?

Envy me or Pity Me? Haha..since with this full-packed GE Summer, how can I manage my overloaded work? Hehe..God will make a way..=)

Enjoy the summer. =)

~ ROHM PE Department Outing ~

yup..after finishing some report to audit, fetched by my only one together with little johnny. We travelled back to Laguna for Gary's PE Department Outing!!!

Yahoo! As this is my first time to be with his officemates..I was kinda hesitant because I need to know each and everyone. But since lahat naman ng mga kasamahan niya is boys..there is no pretentions, nagbabalahuraan na kasi sila agad.

Hehe, at syempre ako naman sumasakay lang sa mga jokes nila..galing! Basta I really enjoyed the overnight stay..saan ka pa yung room namin ng kaisa isang gurl sa department which is Charrie, has jacuzzi in it! Galing..super relaxed ako dun..something that I need often during this time.

Si Bunso din ay enjoy sa kanyang new found friend na si FerFer, at take note magkatabi na agad silang matulog at nag-inuman ng light coke sa kwarto..hahaha..katuwa talaga..nagpa alarm pa ang mga mokong dahil magswimming daw sila ng 5am. Syempre di ko sila allow..gabi pa kaya un..nagslip ulit and finally at past 6 am..rumatsada na sa bagong fill na pool! Ang saya talaga..

Tas, nakapag moments pa kami ni popoy to talk about our lives..our future and almost everything. We really shared the common dreams, something that I truly believe that we are meant for each other.
It is not everyday of the year ang summer, and it is the most eventful season for every Filipino (i guess?!?) hehehe..kasi nandiyan ang fiestas, holy week and lots and lots of outings like the one we had in City of Springs, Los Baños!

Pics to follow.. =P

Happiness is again felt. =)

Sentiments

During the past days, I have been very busy..with the stress on "very". Hahaha..I did not imagin myself going through that level that almost every week I shall take some time of my sleep just to make some money! Hahaha.

Actually, I am feeling so restless during these week. I have some deadlines and that what everybody felt very stressful about. I sometimes would like to shift some other line. To find something that matches my desire, not just to earn some degrees or be identified in the company but more on the desired fulfillment and happiness. It is not a question that I do not love accounting. But it definitely irritates me that I cannot do anything more that working almost 7 days a week and more that 12 hours a day. Although I suppose that more people experience this kind of stress and even worse. I still want something that fulfills my desire to increase knowledge and experience not just in the corporate world but as well in the world around me.

I just have some thoughts about politics, media, our poor people, the wonderful destinations in the philippines, the longing for travel around the world. The break I want to enter into tv hosting..wahahaha..dream on! I really want to be a news anchor or something in similar. I also want to have my band, wherein I will be the back-up vocals, for I really want to be one..hahaha..afraid of the limelight.

There were definitely things that we want to do..the only problem is how can we squeeze this in our very very tight schedule.

Just sentiments at work..happy reading!!!

excess:

Popoy has already bought his new ASUS Dualcore Laptop last sunday!!!!

Road Trip, Getting away and Having Fun!!!

Last Sunday was scheduled to be our Sulit Kulitan Family Day. Yours truly asked Daddy to take some fresh air in Caliraya Lake located on the top of the mountain in the southern part of Laguna specifically Cavinti. My Cute little brother John was so excited about the trip that he was not able to sleep well the night before. Haha..kulit talaga!!

Eto kami ngaun after more than a year without our dearest nanay..hay..it might have been more exciting having you around nay..=(

Pero siyempre I know that Nanay would be happy to see us like this, we never had this kind of trip after we lost her..and right after this trip, nayayaya naman si Itay papuntang North. Sabi Hundred Islands..waaaaah! malaking ipunan iyon! hehe..pero excited naman kami!

Muntik pa ngang di kami matuloy sa Taytay Falls dahil medyo mainit na ang makina at ang ulo ni bossing (a.k.a. daddy) hehehe..but the good thing..diretso pa din, balewala kahit nakasimangot pa siya. Sayang ang moments. It is truly rewarding to have this kind of time for each other. Si kuya nga di na umattend ng laro sa company nila dahil lang dito.

Stopped along the road just to have some nice pics for these rare trips we had(left pic). Gary and Me back to our dearest jeepney after the picturan (right pic)

Talo pa namin ang mga angels ni charlie sa laki ng mga braso namin..wahahaha..

Looking at this pic, I just cannot wait for the final moment that we shall officially declare Gary as legal part of the family. Bonding moments ni popoy at dady. =)

Ang Lamig po ng tubig..but I managed to dip my shivering body to the freezing water. =) Nakapunta din ako sa likod ng falls, was able to feel the angry water falling down. Syempre assisted by my honey popoy. =)

~~happiness this is what my heart says~~

Kainan ng Chicha sa batuhan... ~~>

~ Shifting Emotions ~

It is this time that I felt like I am again nowhere to go. Something is missing. Which I cannot find the answer. I still cannot give anything worthy of thinking on where or how shall I start another day. Inspiration is what I am seeking. But as constantly I look for it, tried to feel it, it does not shows up.

Maybe for some other time..I need to wait..til I wait no more..

I am battling once again with this kind of emotion. I felt like I need to go somewhere. I need to leave or move on. Is it that I need to go back through? Or have I leave something behind? Hay..I felt like I have no one would be available to share the burden. No talks or just chats to lessen some heavy weights I have right now.

Maybe I need to plan to go abraod right now. The one I set aside for a while because I thought that I will stay with my company for a longer time. Now, my veins would react negatively once I set my feet here in the comp vicinity. I believe I need to build another big plans again. Write my dreams and continously update my status. Hope I would not miss any important details for this. =)

Dyaran! I am somehow relieved from this everyday stress and anxiety. Good thing, writing eases some of the tensions brought by the work environ here. =)

And also, it is HIM that reminds me to slow down, think/reflect and move on!

And so the Solar Conquest shall begin!!! (hahaha..a Princess Hours fanatic!!!)

Thoughts about Working

Here I am again, actually I have a lot of things to share the day I started working. I really felt that this is a blessing and it is God's plan that I am working for my current company.

But, the very first week I worked here, I had lots of doubts. A big bunch of doubts. I have questioned the fairness on working. As I always am telling to my self and had put this as one of my principles in life, I really want as much as possible to have an unbiased working environment wherein I can initiate my action without any hesitations.

Now, this is what fills my mind everyday before I go to work. Am I being that competitive to my teammates? It is though a fact that I felt it that I am. I am scared about it because I am not the type of person. Working for me is a vocation. Somehow, because I choose my profession, not because in due time I will be earning a lot specially that I have the advantage of having the license, but because I am enjoying it. I have also prayed that if ever I am accepted in a company, I wish to have spread something worthy. This is what bothers me. As much as I want to have the same atmosphere like the team I have before, I am a failure with this. It is what I said to my Star Team when I left them. It is easy to have work, choose the company who offers the greatest benefit. But what is important to me is that you work well and enjoy every single moment of it. Now, I admit I do not have the luxury of choosing the best people to work with. It is because when I left my team, I continously crave for the same bonding which eventually is not within my team right now.

Yes, I am not happy with what is going on. I really changed my perspective with that. It is a reality that I will never be able to have the same kind of team bonding before but I can start molding them slowly. One bite at a time. The fact is, they are not willing and I really feel stupid. I don't have any personal issues with them. It is only that I find them competitive, like what an employee from other country has said. Make some bond. Beyond the scope of work and the stress and hassles it brings. Hay..I know that it must start with the head..and I am not in the position. We differ and it matters. Maybe in time, haha..I will have the power (hehe) and motivation. And that is what I promise. Fair environment. Good Competition. An area for growth and development. Right exposure. The best camaraderie that I had with the people I had been through.

Will that be impossible. Huh? Nothing is impossible to those who are willing. I just wish and pray that I could start now, if not, I will be the one who will be the first to give up the rope. =(

Happy Birthday to the Most Caring Mom!!! ~ The Best

Think of me not as gone but free...

We thank you for the wonderful give of unconditional love to daddy, us, your children and to the people whom you have made a difference in their lives. Your physical presence may not be felt, but you continously inspire us to do our best, bringing back the pride you once has given to us and shall forever cherish the memories in our heart.

I'm proud to be the daughter of Mrs. Nora Arciaga Sulit a.k.a. "Nene", "Babylyn", "Nors", "Mars", a wonderful friend, a fair fighter, a jolly person whose smile uplift everyone who she met, a woman with conviction, an inspiration, a confidant, a lovable wife of Carding, and the bestest mother all rolled into one, "My one and only Nanay".

I know you are spending your happiest birthdays in heaven...until we meet again...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANAY!!!

We truly misses you...

Sto. Niño Fiesta

Straight from overtime work and baptism of gary's nephew vincent and eventually the new addition on the list of my inaanaks..we attended the annual celebration of sto.niño's fiesta, popoy and me ended up goofing around with ate olive's cam. I really am blessed to have him. My stress buster after a workweeklong (7 days of work!!!!)..kakapagod ha! Times like this makes working and living worthwhile.

Di kami gaanong makulit...wehehehe..

After ng mahabang paglilibot at pagpila, makita lang si sto.niño, it really made my day..really fun! Kahit pa ang sabihin "nila"...

Di ako inspirado sa pagsulat..kainis! ang masasabi ko lang ang gwapo ni popoy sa pic na ito...


The coming week shall be full packed!!! Need ko ng humabol sa audits ko dahil come March, countdown na naman ulit for the next dashboard!!! It makes me feel tired but excited on how will I be able to cut down time in preparation and works..

Next weekend, matutuloy na ang Caliraya namin..un lang wala pa akong camera!!!! Waaaaah!

Till next week, sayang di ako inspired to write ngaun..=(

But Im totally happy and contented.

the week that was..=)

This was post that should be last week pa kaya lang wala na akong time kaya ngayon lang ulit (sa may ari ng camera..salamat po..=)

This was taken during our Integrity and Compliance Seminar at the Heritage Hotel. Together with Ray from AP team! =)

Naubos ko ang food na yan..hahaha..gutom na kasi ako..mukha bang masarap? sa akin, masarap naman..wehehehe..=)

Si Henry Leong, legal counsel of asia, one of the speakers in our compliance seminar..pang korean telenobela ano? hahaha..he is by the way a malaysian..=)

At last, meet Balaji (in yellow), ang may pakana ng pahirap sa aming buhay..hehehe..together is the SEA eT&L team (from left to right, bev, arlene, shiella, balaji, joel, elmer, ms.riza, julie and moi! )

Wala akong time magkwento pics na lang muna..see you guys!

Sana pedeng di na mag-ot..waaaaaah!!!!

Starting the Heart's Month

February is a heart's month and GE started it right (on my own point of view) by sponsoring this cinema night..as the invitation goes...

Our Cinema Night featuring...

Working in GE has made me feel more blessed. Why is it so? Because I was able to watch this movie. As I may say, I am not that fanatic with watching movies in the cinemas (the big screen!). I would prefer it on TV. Why? Because the Ilocano in me. Haha! I don't know but I'd rather watch it on TV.

Together with my only one, Gary, we watched the movie! With free food! Pica pica!

Let us to go to my personal review of "The Holiday". Amanda and Iris, two ladies, two heartbroken ladies switched houses because of frustration with their men. Amanda, for having an unfaithful bf and Iris, chasing a guy for 3 long years without any assurance of being loved back. They switched houses and found their true love. Haha..What a review? Did I make you feel that you wanna watch the movie? Non sense.

What I really wanna say is that being blessed doesn't mean you will go through happy times always. After a heart breaks or any bad situations, one thing is for sure to happen, that won't stay, not unless, you did want it to stagnate into your heart and mind and eat the whole you. These people made a decision to move on..even for a short period and thereafter found something totally different, something that they thought will not happen, it may, but only in dreams. It moved me. Really. For something that I have in my mind. It makes me more ambitious of what life could be for me, gary and the people around me. That life is just one holiday to pass. and just like a holiday, it is so precious to us working people, we need to cherish every moment of this. Every moment that life has to offer us. It passes. Just do not miss the opportunity to grab the momentous experience of different emotions and situations.

Watch the movie, for lots of laugh and a wonderful lesson to keep!!!!

~~~> Side dish =) Wednesday of this week (7th), we had our compliance and integrity conference at the Heritage Hotel in Roxas Blvd. It seems that GE really give me more inspiration to dream BIG!!!! Post some pics later..

Have I been going to far..Maybe need to sleep. For tomorrow is another working day for us. =)

Have a happy hearts week!!!

Desktop Therapy

Yup, you heard it right, this is the scenery that soothes my stressed mind here in work. Minsan talaga kailangan natin gumawa ng paraan para mai-divert ang attention natin sa bagay na makakapagpapasaya sa atin like this place. This shot was taken from a resort in El Nido, Palawan.

I am dreaming of going here...now na!

charan! eto na ako sa place na ito...nakatanaw sa bintana...hmmmmmm..ang sarap ng hangin...nakakabuti ng pakiramdam, ang mga alon..banayad...at ang mga huni ng ibon...ang sarap sa ear ha! hehehe...ang sarap mag sun bathing sa bench..ay ang waiter! "Waiter, please bring me a glass of orange juice! Thanks!" Aba at sino yung mga taong paparating dito..I thought I reserved this place for myself...aba at may intruders!

Toink! Ayan..nanaginip na naman ako...eto na pala ang mga pasaway sa masaya kong pagninilay..ang tambak kong trabaho!!!

Eniweys, ang sarap bumalik sa kawalan..tanging magandang tanawin gaya nito lang...kahit papaano, nailalayo niya ako sa magulong mundo ng showbiz...nyek! hehehe..sabagay..di na nalalayo ang mundong kinagagalawan ko sa konsepto ng showbiz, di mo na kasi alam ang totoo sa hindi..kaya eto sumasabay ang aking puso sa pagalon ng dagat..

Masaya akong babalik sa lugar na ito para muling makahinga...

Sarap Lord!

Back to work na po tayo!!

Have a nice Baclaran day to everyone...Do not forget to pray! Mwah!

Tatlong taon nAPO kami!!!!

hep! hep! hep!

makakalimutan ba naman natin ang mahalagang araw na ito namin ni popoy...hehehe...
op kors not!
siyempre, tatlong taon na kami na puno ng kalokohan, kasiyahan, kakulitan, kaartehan, tampuhan, galaan at pagmamahalan..hay..naks naman!
di ko man lang namalayan ang paglipas ng 3 taon..biro mo...ang bilis! siguro nga dahil nageenjoy kami sa isa't isa..hahaha..napapaligaya namin ang bawat isa... =P

"there is a special comfort between two matching souls..."
Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!

ang nakaraan...

yup, the year 2006 was just another part of our past, that we may or may not want to reminisce, for me it the roller coaster ride!!!

I felt the happiest and saddest part of my life, in this year we lose our dearest nanay, nahihirapan man kami na tanggapin yon, wala kaming magagawa kundi maging masaya para sa kanya. I know she is happy now. Nasaan man siya, magkita sana kami sa dulo. sa tuwing may post ako na ganito, naiiyak ako. kasi siyempre super nakakamiss ang nanay...

hay...


kaya ayan, inuna ko na siya para sa mga susunod kong topics eh masaya na..ano nga ba ang masasayang nangyari this year, actually, the whole year yata akong nagaaral..starting january til october..

hahaha..nga pala naisip ko na!!! nakapunta kami ni popoy sa mudspring sa makiling..something to boast about kasi it's FIRST TIME!!! Yay! Kapagod ang maglakad..pero sa lahat ng paghihirap, ang pinakamasarap ay ang matapos mo with pride! naks! kaya ganon din ang ginawa ko for my quest for the license..eventually, nakuha ko na din!!! with the help of the people around me..kilala na nila ang sarili nila (hehehe...dpat naman!)

naging masaya ang taon na ito, probably because I have the most wonderful people that God has planned to be with me..

It may be a tough life ahead..full of responsibilities, but amidst it all, I can say to this..Go on! I am tougher!!!Huh??? Because I have a big God with me all the way!!!

Naks! It's true, my faith has never been broken ever since, sa lahat ng problem, maliit man o malaki, siya ang kawentuhan ko, besides gary.. =)

Basta sumakay lang tayo sa biyahe ng buhay...walang mawawala..madadagdagan pa tayo ng memories!!!

Stay happy pips!

Happy 2007 to all!!!!

Season's Greetings!!!

about working...

After the long awaited moment to finally start my work, I officially started with General Electric Philippines as an eT&L auditor, but with a designation of Accountant, weird isn’t it? Haha..but when I calculated the time I have to stay home for being unemployed it is just less than 2 months..not bad to think that it is year end and most companies at this time hire beginning of the year.

Let me point out some of the positive points that I am thankful and happy about me starting to work this year end…

First, I will be able to have the New Year with a little money in my pocket… not just my hand.

Second, I don’t have to worry about making the payment for the debts we had incurred during the year.

Third, I will be able to buy the necessary things needed for my other “vices” hahaha…

Fourth, madami na din akong mga plano and goals to set for the coming year kasi I do have to plan to save some money…naks! Todo na ito!

Fifth, di na din mangungulit ang daddy na until now e isa akong palamunin. Hehehe..peace dad!

Lastly, I will be able to finance something for my popoy…tagal pa naman un pero at least..may money na ako..yehey!

What I wish is that I could hold on to the job…wish ko lang talaga!

Be able to get along with people well, especially this group…

and be able to acquire new knowledge for my future plan. Hahaha…

Ending the year with a BANG!!!

Peace and Love to all this yuletide season!

Im Proud!

Di ko man nasasabi ito ng tahasan sa iyo Dy, pero, you really made me proud to be your daughter. After all the hardships you'd been through..nakita ko ang pagbabago sa iyo. Alam mo kung ano ang pinagdaanan namin hirap sa pagdidisiplina mo. Pero Im thankful with that. Other pipol might think you of somebody who wants only material things..but i know you are beyond that..you are our precious gem.

Habang buhay kong dadalhin ito sa puso ko. Tunay ka ngang haligi ng tahanan.

I am so proud to be your daughter. I know Nanay is happy with the way you are taking good care of your family..even without her.. =(

Thank you for the love and the many lessons you have shared with us.

I love you.

Saan man patungo..

di ko inakalang magkakaganito..

wala naman nagsabi na malabo ang mundo..

di na rin inaasahang maintindihan...

alam naman nilang walang pakialam..

kung saan man patungo..

at kung kailan kami hihinto..

kung bukas man o bukas pa..

tuluyan ng tapusin ang kanta..

Sa aking paghahanap

Eto na naman ako at muling maglalahad ng aking feeling sa buhay..
khapon, feeling ko ay super depressed ako..kasi ba naman 1 buwan na ang nakakalipas pero until now wala pa rin akong mahanap na magandang work..hay..kainis naman!

Di naman kasi ako naghahanap ng mataas ng sweldo, ung tama lang na makakapagdevelop ba sa career na GUSTO KO na tahakin. Lito akong lumabas sa bahay..follow up sa mga company na pinasahan ko ng aking resume. Ilang ulit na akong nagpalit ng resume ha..baka kasi may mali..pero eto ako at di pa rin makahanap ng tamang trabaho.

Nakakapagod dahil sa bawat alis mo naman pera ang nawawala. Wala naman ako nun. Kakahiya na kay popoy kung pati ba naman pamasahe ay humiram pa ako sa kanya..

Tas, naisip ko..eto na naman ako..inilalapit NIYA ulit ako..mukhang lumayo nga ako ng unti ha..hay..si Lord talaga..aun at napalakas ang loob ko..Tas, naalala ko ung libro kong ito ...

Biro mo un..binili ko siya last June 2005, di ko naman nabasa..aun at ginawan ni Lord ng way na mabasa ko na siya..kaya eto ako ngayon. Di masyadong nagmamadali sa buhay-buhay. Kasi gusto kong tapusin ito. at tatapusin ko siya.

La lang. Nasabi ko lang. It may seem very usual. Ung kapag may problema ka, lapit ka lang sa Kanya..nasa kanya kasi ang kasagutan..

Un po. Happy REading Nina =)!!!

Ang Paghihintay

Eto ang mga kaganapan sa nakalipas na CPA Oathtaking..

Si daddy habang nagpapahinga...wehehe..bilis mapagod sa paglalaro ng badminton...

Si Sir Tom..

Atty. D

Ang aking pangalawang ama..Sir Valix

Kakambal ko...

wehehehe..ang pormal na paraan ng paglalaro ng badminton..

Kulitan sa Manila Bay

Ang taray!!!

Hehehe..yan lang po..tamad akong magkwento eh..Mwah!!!

Nakatanaw

Hmmm..parang ganito ako ngayon, nakatingin sa kawalan..nangangarap..nagiisip kung ano ang dapat gawin...

Kahapon, oathtaking namin..ang tagal kong hinintay na mapasama sa okasyon iyon. Aun nga at nagkaroon na din ng katuparan ang lahat..isa na akong ganap na CPA.

Pero hanggang ngayon, nagtatanong pa rin ang puso ko..saan nga ba ako pupunta? Paano ko mapupuntahan iyon? Nahihirapan ako. Sa panibagong simula ng yugto ng buhay ko. Marami kasing dapat tapusin at simulang muli. Bagay na lalong nagpapabigat sa puso ko.

Sa ngayon, nanatili pa rin akong nakatanaw...

Iniisip ang buhay ko dun...sa ibang ibayo...

Salamat at nariyan kayo lagi sa tabi ko..Salamat sa KANYA! Dahil kahit anong tama ng utak ko nanatili kayong nandiyan para samahan akong tingnan ang kawalan.

Pero kaya ko ang lahat ng ito dahil nandiyan kayo...

ang drama ko no? minsan lang ito...
