A week long of Sweetness

My week long vacation officially started today. Supposedly, my vacation leave should start yesterday but since there are some few more loads to finish, I reschedule my leave to 22,23 & 28. So I'll be coming back to work on Tuesday. A week long vacation here at home, no boss to call you, no meeting to attend, no paperwork to do and NO NO Overtime for a week. This is life.

By the way, let me share you guys what's been seating in my fridge. I have a pack of Oreo, a box of Cream-O and 2 bars of toblerone. All chocolates. As I've said before Im not really into sweets especially chocolates. I love Oreo but I consume a pack of it for a week or two. The Cream-O chocolate-coated cookies are husby favorite, so I bought it last Saturday at the grocery. My Officemate C gave the 2 bars of Toblerone yesterday. Thanks C. It's good thing that my 8-year-old niece is here, I gave the other bar of toblerone. So the big bar is still in my fridge and kind of thinking to share the half of it with my sister. Oh well, that is if she's not dieting.

Anybody here who want a bite of chocolates, here have mine...

Beauty in and beauty out

Last night I watched Oprah ,the episode was an interview with Stevie Wonder. Who wouldn't know this great musician, singer and a brilliant songwriter. It brings back the time when I love singing his song Overjoyed and my ever favorite isn't she lovely which Mr. Stevie composed for her daughter when she was 8 months old. Oh I also like the song Lately which was released in 1980. I was about 5 years old that time. At that early age, I already know how to appreciate his music. I still listen to his music and it always relaxes me. His music is heavenly for me. It's like drinking a cold glass of iced tea which refreshes me after finishing it.

Speaking of relaxing and refreshing, a friend of mine suggested using sugar and body oil for exfoliating. So this morning, I mixed half a cup of white sugar and pour in some oil. I mixed it until the oil covered every bit of the sugar and then, I took a shower. I lather and lather, there's nothing more refreshing than a morning shower. After I washed off, I took the sugar and oil mixture, I took some and gently massage it on my body. I can feel every bit of the sugar massaging my skin. It's so rejuvenating. After massaging it on my whole body, I again enjoy another splashes of water. It's so refreshing. The sugar removes dirt and dry dead skin while the body oil helps to moisturize our skin.

Hey maybe you knew some beauty tips or any beauty secrets, which need not to be expensive, and is readily available in our kitchen that you want to share with me so C'mon I'm listening.

Im back...

Finally... Now I have the time to blog. Its been a week or two that I haven't been here. So, what's been happening to me lately aside from a busy work week and sleepy weekends nothing really much had happen. Uh oh, I skipped work the other day. My body is so so exhausted and my I felt that my brain is malfunctioning and I do believed that I wont be that effective at work that day so I decided to have a leave, a sick leave to be precise. So today, I filed that sick leave wrote down the reason why I was away from work , hmmm...What will I write as a reason, aha...The ever famous reason, migraine, he he he. Bad me, blaming migraine for my absence and tolerating my laziness. Oh well, atleast I got to use 1 out of my 13 sick leaves.

Speaking of leaves, I'll be on a vacation leave on the 21st of this month and be coming back at work the next week after holy week. So it's a week long of bonding with husby. Im really excited and cant wait for it. Since husby has this 2am-10pm work schedule at Laguna,meaning he'll be home at quezon city at around 11:30-12 midnight. To late isn't, however, we still have time to talk and ask how the day was for us. I miss the time when we go home together, eat dinner outside or just do window shopping after work. The only good thing with this 2-10pm schedule was, I need not to wake up at 3:30am anymore to prepare his breakfast.This schedule will only last for a month, so by April, he will have another shift which is 8pm-5am....yaiks!!!!

Anyway, as I was saying, I'll be on leave on the 3rd week of March. Nah, I and husby will not going anywhere, We'll just be staying home, read a book. I borrowed Dan Browns Da Vinci Code from an officemate, or I might try those pending recipe that I gathered from friends, ofcouse its a no meat recipe timely for the Lenten season. We have a DVD of The Passion of Christ. I have watched that already but husby hasn't so Its in our viewing list this Holy Week.

Lastly, Mia and the rest of my ym chatmates decided to create a blog, all about life and love, and the everyday joys and challenges experienced by married women. So check this out

A Helping Hand

Yesterday, our office held a blood donation program with the help of the Department of Health. The project was called National Voluntary Blood Service Program (NVBSP). Ten employees including me donated 450-500cc of blood. It's my 2nd year in donating in this program and it really is fulfilling knowing that you'll be helping those patients suffering from

1.shock
2.lost 20% or more of blood in an accident
3.loss in surgery
4.leukemia
5.childbirth
6.major trauma
7.liver transplants
8.hemophilia

After donating, the people from NVBSP gave us keychains, towels and and IDs where our names and blood type is written.

The needle used in getting blood is a bit bigger, about 2-3mm diameter than that ordinary syringe used to inject or withdraw fluid in hospitals. Believe me, it doesn't hurt. It's like, an ant biting you. So Im encouraging you guys to give some and save lives.

Happy Weekdays everyone.

A change

Im not actually a chocolate lover but I've been noising hubby to give me something for the nth time this valentines day. When I do asked him to buy me something like flowers or chocolates or stuff toys, he always tells me that he'll be buying if Im not around to surprise me. And so, last 13th of this month, he gave me this box of kisses in advance because the 14th was a Monday and he might not be able to buy anything because his work is so so hectic. Anyway, my heart did melt because it was the first time for him. Geez, I said to myself that my man is becoming romantic. Hurray...

Wish...

Im a year older today and I'm very thankful to our Lord for giving me another year to enjoy and embrace life. I thank Him for another year of getting older but some says I look younger. I thank Him for all the wonderful blessings I got. God gave me a very loving parents, who nurtured me with love, my friends who are still growing in number and my husband who finally gave me chocolate last night. Oh yeah, another blessing is this job that I got though it really is so demanding.

Speaking of job, our head is so kind enough to allow me to have a birthday leave today. So Im here at home and enjoying the 24 hours of my birthday. I took a leave because, I don't want myself be a worrywart with the humungous work at the office. It's my day and I want to enjoy it. So right now, Im savoring my favorite sandwich and ice tea while listening to some of my mp3 collection. What a nice way to celebrate a birthday, a very simple and relaxing one. Later on, my ever loving sister will prepare my favorite spaghetti and mom will cook dinner for us. Wish hubby will come home much early from work. He mentioned last night that he is obliged to do some extra time for work hay. Oh well, if he can't home much early I might as well ask a dinner date with him on Saturday to pay for being late for dinner on my actual birthday, he he he.

So, as I entered a another year of adulthood, I do wish that life be cool as what I had the past years and encapsulate all the troubles in life.

Happy birhtday Wifeydj!!!

It's Valentines...

"What the world needs now
is love, sweet love
it's the only thing
that there's just too little of
What the world needs now
is love, sweet love,
no not just for some
but for everyone."

...Yeah, that is all we need, be it with our friends or family or the cute guy next door. I do remember, when I was in my teenage years, I always received roses or chocolates from my so called boyfriend during the 14th of February. My Valentines day only means dating, those fancy dinner or the dozen roses that I will receive. Geez, I don't really even know what love really means

But now, that I found my real love, who gave me a nice TV rack last valentine, instead of those fattening chocolates or those roses that will only makes me sneeze, I know how to give love in a more meaningful way. Love which is pure & modest. A love which only wants a relationship that is for keep.

And to you my labs, Happy heart's day.

Happy Valentines to all!

Again and again

I'm a busy butterfly today.

I cant sleep but I want too...

It's a busy week for me. Seems that tons of workloads are after me. Meetings, meetings lots of meetings are scheduled for the week. Phonecalls and lots of phonecalls are expected to bug me. The 8am-6pm work time will surely extend just to meet the deadlines OF our clients.

Oh...It really is hard to adjust. I've been married for a year now but still, adjusting with my work (which is too demanding)and my wifey world is not that easy. Now, Im here in front my pc at home, thinking...but nothing seems to come out. At this moment hubby is sleeping soundly and me, doing this report for tomorrow's meeting. Hayayay

I know Im familiar with this work. I've been doing this for ages. But seems that, my thinking is not functioning. My sense of understanding is somewhat lost. The only thing I know right now, I wanna sleep. I tried... A while ago, I disengage the switch of this pc and tried to have a shut-eye but my mind is not cooperating with my tired body. So I reboot my pc and start working again but hey, still got a problem. My brain is still not working. Can't think of anything for the meeting tomorrow. Thank God for the web. I'm relaxing a bit. Reading blogs (which I miss doing) of some fellow bloggers. I then realized that working and working is not healthy. After this deadline, I'll surely ask a break (a week long sana).

Hmmmm...I think I'm sleepy na awwwww...oh, It's February na pla. Lapit na birthday ko. wuahhh
