Getting started. :)

Nothing much to say today. I'm just overwhelmed with joy and kilig earlier at BPI Family Savings Bank - Pacita branch. Though this is not our first, but we opened another joint passbook account to really save up for our future. And what's sweeter is that the funds were Tatay's (Lloyd's dad) early gift to us. Super sweet, right? :D

So while we were filling up the forms earlier, the bank rep kept on asking me, "Ma'am parehas po ang billing address nyo?" So I replied, "no, not yet." hihihi. (soon dear.) And all the time we were filling up everything, there are these two words I just thought of: Financial Marriage (Thanks to Mars who coined that term last night. hihi :p). Then I kept telling myself that I gotta be a good saver. Well, good thing I have my best buddy who's really persistent in reminding me of taking care of our savings. He himself is a good saver, and that always inspires me. After all, this is for US. :)

so there. yay for today! apir! :)

Magical.

It was one ordinary Sunday night of March last year, Lloyd and I were sitting on a bench in our terrace from 12:00 AM 'til about 4. When we had no more stories to tell each other about, he got his Ipod and played his cruisin' playlist. So we listened to the best love songs of all time. There were hits by David Pomeranz, America, Ariel Rivera, The Carpenters. Talk about Classics! We're both music lovers that we can appreciate every aspect of a song, from the harmony, to the baseline, to the lyrics, to the feelings of the song. For this night, he's the DJ. He played each song that he felt was apt for the exact feeling at a certain minute. So suddenly, the ordinary night turned out to be one of the sweetest nights ever. And listening to such songs made me reminisce to a lot of firsts: first time we talked, we went to church together, our first month as friends, first time he held my hands. gaaahd. Magical night. And to further intensify my reminiscin', he told me, "so ganito ba 'yung pakiramdam?" then played this song that really best described my feelings. Yes, suddenly it's magic. He's a magic.

So I closed my eyes, rested my head on his shoulder with his arms wrapped around me as we continued feeling the song. So that moment, I prayed. I thanked the Almighty. For this. I knew that this is something I have really prayed hard for. Not just this certain moment, but this entire relationship. Him and me. I feel at home with him. He is home. and I couldn't thank God enough for making our lives meet.  When the song was over, I looked up to him smiling to tell him how he has filled me with joy.  Right there and then, he asked me of a four-word interrogative sentence every girl would love to be asked. :)  With my mind at peace and a thankful heart full of love, of course I answered him yes.

Oh the world is a remarkable place!

The World As I See It

Jason Mraz

The world as I see it, is a remarkable place

A beautiful house in a forest, of stars in outer space

From a birds eye view, I can see it has a well-rounded personality

From a birds eye view, I can see we are family

It's not hard for me to love you

Hard for me to love you

No, it's not a difficult thing

It's not hard for me to love you

Hard for me to love you

Because you are the world to me

Yeah the world as I see it, is a remarkable place

Every man makes a difference and every mother's child is a saint

From a birds eye view I can see, we are spiraling down in gravity

From a birds eye view I can see, you are just like me

It's not hard for me to love you

Hard for me to love you

No, it's not a difficult thing

It's not hard for me to love you

Oh I really love you unconditionally

No, it's not hard for me to love you

Hard for me to love you

No, it's not a difficult thing

It's not hard for me to love you

Oh I really love you,

Love you are the world to me

Thanks to Mr. Mraz for this reminder. His song kept playing in my head for almost a week now, and it just made me smile. It's a given that Jason Mraz is such an AWEsome artist (can't help but WOW everytime I listen to his songs), but the song itself simply made me smile big time. It reminded me that I am remarkable. You are remarkable. Everyone and everything around me is remarkable. And each piece of this world makes this a remarkable place. And that it's really not hard to LOVE. Learning to appreciate every person makes one a loving person.

And of course the song goes out to Lloydie who makes me happy effortlessly. Aside from being a natural comedian (hehe. :p), the things he does to me and lessons he teaches me simply makes me a happy person. And it's just definitely not hard for me to love him. ♥

a remarkable place and my remarkable man over thuurrrr

Side note: How I really wish I could have as much guitars as he does. waaah. When I get richer, or have some extra bucks to spare, I swear I'd buy myself a good acoustic guitar. But for now, or maybe for Christmas, I'd gift myself a new set of acoustic strings for RJ. or can someone grant my wish pleeeaaasseee?☺

Promoted. :)

I will be starting a new work on Monday. Well actually, it's not really new. Hmmm...

Three years ago, I was chosen to be the Reports Analyst of an international travel account where I used to be a customer service representative. Being in charge of client reports and employee incentive computation, that was really a tedious and stressful work for me. Really. I even had to be confined due to acute bronchitis after a few stressful months. A year after, an opportunity came and I was promoted as Real-Time Analyst (RTA) and was transferred to a different department. The RTA job was less stressful and I even got to be in the morning shift for a couple of months.

Another blessing came this month, when the managers of the same travel account asked me if I'd want to be, once again, their Reports Analyst, for of course a rate that's higher than what I currently have. Whew!

It was somewhat a tough decision, because I'm really enjoying the team and the responsibilities that I have. It's like, waking up, going to work, enjoying the work, doing my responsibilities, then go home and enjoy my life. Sarap di ba?!! I never get to think of anything about work outside office. I didn't have to worry about anything I may have left undone or any issues unresolved, because that's how great my teammates are! And the best perk of my current position: being in the morning shift! It's a bit early shift, though, because I have to be in the office at 5am. But since I'm out at 2:00 PM, I'm still able to do some errands, like going to the bank or do some groceries and still have time for my family. I should be asleep at around 9:00 PM and get up at 3am, but I really don't mind that! Masarap ang buhay ko! 

But I still took the offer and signed up for the job though I know that I'd have to sacrifice especially my almost-normal time and somehow my health. But hey, not everyone gets offered a job for a higher pay. Others really apply for it and work for it. Others get rejected and they try again and still get rejected. Most employees, especially in a Call Center environment, get stuck in a position for a long time, no matter how hardworking they are. And I'm really blessed that for my almost four years in the company, I was offered different opportunities with different working environment every year. I am blessed that my managers recognize my potential, and they really value the output of my work.

More importantly, this came just right on time when I knew I needed extra income. Who doesn't need money? And it's the perfect timing, just when we decided to save up and settle down two years from now.

Oh Lord, thank You for the blessing, and thank You for the challenge. I know I'm on to a stronger and better me.

Now, am I ready? YES I AM!

$$*kaching! kaching! kaching!*$$

Lovely Adelcy! ♥

2012 introduced itself to us in two grand ways: the birthday of our dear Amiel Mateo (01-02-2012), and Ate Adel's 54-day stay in the hospital when she suffered a stroke due to post-eclampsia when she gave birth to Amiel.

That was really the toughest time for our family. Kuya Maic, my second brother and Ate Adel's husband, was currently in the other side of the world, finishing his contract as a seafarer when these events happened. It was the toughest for him, because he had no idea what's happening, and we didn't know how to break it to him. When Ate was in coma and Kuya was still on board, we asked him to send us his voice messages that we can let Ate listen to, so she would feel his presence. I remember crying on my desk as I listened to Kuya's voice, trying his very best to be strong for Ate.

It was during the most challenging times that we felt the Lord's love. We were blessed abundantly. Kuya was allowed to come home and stayed with us for a few months. People prayed for us and helped us with our needs, whether in cash or in the medical equipment we needed. And just when Kuya was about to give up because Ate is still in coma, finally, after 3 weeks, she woke up. And two days before Ate Adel's birthday, on February 24, we are home.

She is still going through sessions of Physical and Occupational Therapy four days a week. And she just had her OT session this afternoon when I visited her. Her therapists would always give positive feedback about her progress, and they said her goal is to be able to walk again by December (because we have lots of gala, reunions and parties lined up). When I entered her room earlier, I just couldn't help but admire her, how strong and joyful she is, and still as lovely as ever. She has gained weight, and her skin tells she's in the pink of health. In fairness, the new hairdo ala-Demi Moore looked great on her!

Ate Adel, pic taken in Festival mall last Sunday

Amiel Mateo (boy po sya!) now 8 months old. Looks a lot like mommy!

Thank You, Lord for all the miracles You have shown us! You are truly a Great God! ♥

731 days of love. ♥

September 24, 2012, 1:15 AM. We are exactly two years together!

Well, we welcomed the day with our friends, slept at around 3am, got up at noon just in time for lunch. Pretty lazy day at first as we had to wait for Lyeo to come home from work (because he brings the motorbike with him). So at around 4:00 PM, we put on our motor gears: rubber shoes, black jacket, backpacks, Lloyd's hand gloves, arm sleeves, and our helmets and started hitting the road at 4:20 PM. Destination: Tagaytay City! ♥

Our route itself was exciting as we are trying on a new one. We took the Timbao road which is just near Carmona Estates. The road leads to Laguna technopark where I got a view of Amkor's plant 4 (hurray!). Unfortunately, since we don't have a Nuvali sticker, we were not allowed to pass through Nuvali gate so we had to re-route via Greenfield and drove along with the shuttle buses for employees working in the Technopark.

We traveled this route for 1 hour 15mins with our motorbike

Our journey was easy and breezy and I really thank God for the perfect weather. There was no traffic and no hassle at all. And we knew we're near our destination as we already felt the cool Tagaytay breeze passing through our helmets and touching our faces. Finally, at 5:35 PM, we checked in at Keni Po hotel.

photo from wandering gene

We fell in love with the place at once! Well, I first checked out some hotels in tripadvisor to find some cozy yet affordable places to stay in Tagaytay, and this hotel has really captured my interest. It's just along Tagaytay-Calamba road, right beside one of my favorite churches, Ina ng Laging Saklolo Parish Church. The room we had was just small and simple, but really comfortable. (unfortunately though, we don't have much pictures since we're not fond of taking pictures of ourselves. boo!) A sliding door leads you to a veranda, and our room is facing right the parking lot of the church (weeee!). The room also has its own mini-bar where it serves bottled water, soda, beer and snacks, which you may get anytime and just pay later when you check out. We really loved the place that we will surely come back here every after 3 months. :) Anyway, more pics on their blogsite: http://keniporooms.blogspot.com/

We then felt our tummies grumbling at around 7pm and decided to drive along Tagaytay and find a place to dine. Where to? We have no idea! But we simply enjoyed our stroll, with still the cold breeze kissing our faces, and we were led to Carlo's Pizza. It's just in the same compound as Starbucks and Teriyaki Boy. We first thought of dining at Teriyaki Boy or Yellow Cab, but I insisted that we don't since we can also find these restos in Manila. We gotta try something new! So yes, we gave Carlo's pizza a shot!

Carlo's Pizza is an Italian restaurant which also offers a good view of the Taal Lake. Unfortunately though, since it's already dark, we can no longer see the lake. But the cool breeze from the lake and relaxing ambiance in the resto made the night romantic. :) Service was good and the waiters were attentive. Now for the food choices, since Lloyd and I are both salad lovers, Caesar Salad won't be missed in our choices. I had a dish of Spaghetti Bolonese while Lloyd had a two-pc chicken combo, one of which was Italian-glazed and one was crispy fried. Finally, since we are dining in a pizza place, why not try their pizza! Hence we had their Pizza Verona (it has garlic, mozarella and cheddar cheese) which was delightfully tasteful and was made even more special when you put on some Caramba Chili Verde which of course is a chili sauce but still brings out the pizza's natural taste even more. hhmmm yumyum!

Affordable Italian dining experience 

Pizza Verona!

We capped off the night by dropping by Starbucks to have coffee for desert, for some more kwentuhan, planning, discussing about some more stuffs, and just simply laughed around. That's where Lloyd is best at, making me laugh and making my heart equally happy and joyful. :)


The next morning, we hit the road once again at around 11am, dropping by the pineapple stalls for pasalubong for his and my home. Stress-free travel! Thank you Lord. ♥ and if there's one most special thing about this trip, that is I know that I could always live like this and I could always enjoy these simple roadtrips with my sweetest blessing. There'll be more roads to take, and even foods to eat, and I'm sure I'll enjoy every piece of every moment. Being on our second year, maybe we were already past through that very cheesy stage. Because right now, we're just busy - and excited - of working and planning and building for our future, together. ♥

Pizza, Pasta, Pichi-Pichi, Pochero, Pareng Jack!

Happiness is an understatement. This was indeed a grand long weekend I have looked forward since a few months ago. Although it did not turn out the way I've first planned it, but everything was just... perfect!


Saturday, Sept 22
Long weekend commenced with a Shawarma food trip at the bus stop where Lloyd met me after work. Their shawarma was more affordable and less "smelly" but more tasteful compared to the one we usually buy in Festival mall's food court. This, to date, was the 3rd shawarma i've ever had. EVER! :)

When we got home, Papa welcomed me with "O, cheerdance na!" So I dropped everything and turned on the tube to catch UP Pep Squad while Lloyd thought of what to order for our dinner. I literally dropped everything. Haha. Yey for UP! :) So anyway, we ordered Amber's Spaghetti bilao, 20pcs BBQ stick and the all-time favorite Amber's Pichi-pichi! Mama also cooked my favorite pochero to complete the meal. Oh, did I mention that today's a double celebration for Mama and Lloyd's birthday? Mama turned 58 on September 21 and Lloyd turned 27 on September 23. Fun, right? :)

pochero, BBQ, pichi-pichi, and spaghetti
(with biiig hoootdogs!) yum!

ate chin-chin saying grace

raawwwrrr!!!

the boys' bestfriend: PARENG JACK

and the night's highlight: Online inuman session with cousins in Bulacan. :)

On-the-spot fun was the skype inuman session with my cousins in Bulacan. They're really my closest cousins and the first kuyas whom Lloyd got along well with. The boys were on skype until 12 midnight, until they welcome Lloyd's turning 27. :p


Sunday, Sept 23
Goodmorning Lloydieee!!! weeee...haappeee birthdaaay! :) We just had but a simple lunch in the Carmona home, then went to church with his family. This was my first time to hear mass with his family. During the mass, I really prayed that he and Nanay and Tatay will always be healthy and strong. There were just a lot to be thankful during the mass - his life, our relationship, our relationship with our families, and our own family that we will build someday. God is the sweetest!

After mass, we headed straight to Shakey's Biñan for his birthday dinner with Nanay, Tatay, tito, tita, Lyeo (his brother) and Mich (Lyeo's gg). :)

the fam! 

Thanks sissy Mich for the cake!

The day was capped off by his friends' own version of "Lloyd's day!" (i.e., lloyd+JC+jessie+a few more friends+fun fun fun). Nevertheless, thank You Lord for this one special weekend. But lo, our weekend is just ain't over yet!


...to be continued... ♥ ☺♥☺♥

10 things I must start doing

1. Keep a close watch on my health. Maintain a good weight, rehydrate, rejuvenate, be healthy inside and out. :) 
2. Learn how to cook. Papa have spoiled me too much that he didn't let me cook for almost two years. I don't know if it's just damage control. (marunong naman ako kahit pa'no)
3. Save, save, save! As Lloyd recalls the article he has read before, "the secret to being rich is to not buying the unnecessary things." yes sir! :)
4. And as I learn to save, I must also master the art of stretching the budget. 
5. Start a business for mama and papa, or at least something they could get busy with at the same time getting income from it. 
6. Imagine my dream wedding! yeahboi! 
7. Plan the timeline for preparation. Gantt Chart mode ON. Magplano ng maaga para iwas haggardo versoza. :)
8. Get into a driving lesson. <insert music here> GUSTO KONG MATUTONG MAG-DRIVE! yeah, i must learn, because we gotta do a lot of errands soon!
9. Get my identity documents handy. 
10. Enjoy being Ms. Pelagio as I can, while I can. =D 

High School Musical. :)

I knew there's something special with today's date.

recall...
recall...
recall...

It made me reminisce back to my highschool days.
The first person who sat in front of me on my first day high.
The girl whom I shared the same passion with Music.
We joined the Glee Club together and even join singing contests together. :p
We would stay out until around 8pm, when our class ends at 4:40pm, because of rehearsals and church engagements.

We even tried to form a band, together with our girl classmates, and tried to play "So Young" here at our place..
"yeah...yeah....yeaaaahh yeah yeaaaah, we are soooo yoooung!"

We shared each others crushes, and everytime this certain guy passes, she would sing
"'cause you bring out the best in me, like no one else would do, that's why I'm by your side, that's why I love you..." :)

We would have lunch together, and will sing songs at the canteen.

Together with our classmates we would do the then-famous Coke jingle
"ito ang beat sabay-sabay, ito ang beat bawal sablay, pabilis ng pabilis..."

Or sometimes get our creative juices working and do our own version of songs...
"Jikaw Zamang Qan Tangakong Wahalin..." ('remix' kuno of Panunumpa)

High School was a sweet memory, and it was made sweeter by this wonderful lady.
I'm truly proud of what she has achieved now.
I know how strong she is, and I know she will always be strong, in anything, in everything.

Happy birthday, Joan! :)

Something for the boys

Ligaw Kit for Sisters

I got this almost exactly 2 years ago, September 4, 2010, during the SFC Regional Conference in Rizal province. This actually just came right on time when I needed it. It was when I was actually discerning for Lloyd (yeeeees nemen! :p) and this has really helped me pray for him and for my heart. Well, where did this take us now? :p 

Something really worth sharing.

LIGAW KIT FOR SISTERS
Basic Checklist during Courtship for SFC Sisters


You are ready to allow a brother to court you if:

• God is your no. 1 priority
• You love your family dearly
• You are emotionally healthy/can be honest with your brother/suitor/ready to get hurt
• You are financially healthy/good steward of resources
• You are a servant
• You are committed
• You are a winner
• You are willing to guard your and the brother's heart as you discern your future together in this courtship stage
• You will keep this relationship pure and pleasing to God at all cost.
• You are willing to sacrifice your own interests and comforts for the sake of another.

In discerning for a suitor:

• If you are confused whether a brother is courting you or not, ask. Unless the brother states his intentions, do not assume. Ask what his intentions are. If he can't say, then don't entertain him as a suitor.
• Why this person? What are my motives in considering him?
• Do I know him well enough as a brother, friend and co-worker in God's vineyard?
• What do I like about this person? Are these what God wants me to look for in a future partner?
• Am I ready to discern this person to be my future spouse? Do I see this person as someone who can possibly be my partner in building a Christian family?

During courtship:

• Discern if the brother suitor is the one prepared by God for you. Discern if he can be your future husband, not just a boyfriend. 
• Be honest with him, tell him where he stands. Treat the brother with respect and don't ignore him. Through discernment, if he is not for you, have the courage to say no and tell him right away. Don't leave him hanging.
• Be courted at home, not in the streets.
• Be mindful in receiving gifts from the brother suitor. Don't give false expectations by accepting extravagant and extra special gifts.
• Reveal yourself to him, so he'll love the real you.
• You can still entertain other suitors if there are any as long as you've not committed to a brother suitor.
• Get guidance from someone who has moral authority.
• If you must turn him down, do so with respect and love for him as your brother.

If he's a gift from God:

• He must be someone special
• You don't have to force God, He will freely give him to you in His time.
• Allow him to pursue you. He might be the one and might slip away.

It's been almost two years, and I'm just thankful for everything that has happened since the day this kit introduced itself to me. :p

Grateful

Welcome me! Weeee! 

When I learned that Multiply is shutting down its file hosting services, I went crazy about recovering and migrating my stuffs there, mostly about the blogs and the pictures I have posted about 5 years ago. And so, I reviewed my blogs, which were posted during my college/YFC days, and they were mostly about my missions, trips, some were announcement to YFC Laguna people, and some were, sadly, about rants. 

Yeah, the social media has given people all the right to rant.
"had a bad day! urrghhh!"

"traffic! bad trip late na ako!"

"fare increase! #@$%^"

 These are familiar lines in twitter and facebook. Although people still share about good things, like taking a picture of the delicious dish before munching into it, maybe a little more gratefulness to the One who gave it all, maybe there'll be less rants, less negative, and everyone will greet the day with positive vibes and high spirit. :)

and so, let me share with you this inspiring song which always brightens my day, written by two good friends/brothers/mentors/young men:

Grateful

By Jueren Nabua/Alvin Morada

You've given me this brand new day

to serve and follow You

You took my tears and made me smile

You lifted me up

You gave me all the reasons Lord

to see things as gift from You

I go out and testify and shout to the world

I will lift Your name on high

I'll forever worship You

I will serve You with all of my heart

'Cause You are my God

I'll forever be grateful

When trouble comes my way

You were there to stay

and everything will be alright

and now I know is true

that this love is You

And I will live each day and say...

I will lift Your name on high

I'll forever worship You

I will serve You with all of my heart

'Cause You are my God

I'll forever be grateful

So my goal is, to make everything I write glorify and gratify my Creator. :)
So help me, Papa God. + =)

my daily dose

**repost from my multiply account


*ring ring ring* 

I gave him a ring but he's not answering. I tried again after 10 mins but I got rejected. MY GOSH! I just have to hear his voice since we haven't talked for the day yet! I SIMPLY NEED TO HEAR HIS VOICE. THAT'S ALL. 

so after 5 mins, he texted back: "Sorry nasa chapel kasi ako nung tumawag ka." 

wow. thank You Papa God. such simple words but just enough to be thankful to You for this guy.

Salo Set A

A simple dinner is all it takes.

A simple dinner to take my breath away.

I just love how you want me to bond with your family, and much more with how you bond with mine. 

Our dinner last Monday was just awesome. Happy tummy, happy heart.

I can just be ever grateful for you. for Us.
