I feel very happy for my Brother. He is soon going to have a promotion and I am so happy. Finally, he was given the big break that he deserves. My brother works hard and he is already among the top 5% of his office where there are thousands of workers.

Last 2008, when their company evaluation came, he was among the top 25%. That deserved a promotion and a salary increase. But due to the economic situation that affected the whole world (which did not spare the first world countries), his promotion was affected. Last year (2009), that was when he got the highest rating. Even his managers told him that even though they have already reached their positions, they have not received a rating like my brother’s. But such is fate, and it can play jokes on us. Well, we do not really rely on fate. We trust God that all these things will work out for the good of my brother and for His glory.

And we are so thankful that my brother got this break. He will be sent to an on shore job in the United States. It is going to be a lateral transfer, not just training abroad. He will be staying there for almost 2 years and he will work for a water company, much like our local BACIWA. Cool! Their water company needs a java programmer. They must be so high-tech!

Well, I can only wish the best for my only brother. God bless you!

Ugh…my hard drive really needs a clean up. Well, it is not literally dirty, but it is messy. As in messy, like our room. There is just so much stuff everywhere. I can just imagine stuff on the table, on the floor, in the toilet, in the bathroom etc. It is like that in my laptop. No organization at all. Well, the system is, there is no system at all. :-p

Anyway, I would like to be able to sit down and spend maybe half a day just to sort out through my thousands of files and properly sorting them. They need to be placed in properly labeled folders for future reference. Additionally, I need to do that because my laptop is part of our home’s computer network that is linked to our store. That means my husband and his staff can access my computer. So if they need a file from me, it would be easier for them if I have directory sync. They would not have to scavenge through my files or use the search option every time.

Sigh…But when would I really have the time? Huh? When?

In between changing nappies and feeding my baby, when is the right time? I know it is now, but well I am still blogging.

Well there is another shooting in the United States.

It involved a 9th grade student who is 14 years old. Imagine that. Where did the suspect get a gun? The incident happened at the Discovery Middle School and the victim is said to be in a critical condition.

I am a mother. I feel bad when a mosquito bites my daughter. I can only imagine how the mothers of both victim and suspect feel.

There is already so much lawlessness in America. And they still want to take God out of their system. They really have to think what their actions are doing to the future generations.

Sadyang si Ara Mina ang pinag tripan! hehe Sorry, I never did like that girl.

Surprisingly, the controversial DJ Mo Twister was very polite and sweet when he grilled actress Ara Mina in relation to her running as councilor of Quezon City. Probably he was just being a gentleman. Or probably because he knew in the first place that he could not get straight and decent answers from her. Watch this.

In the past elections, many actors and actresses have joined the political arena. Our former president Erap Estrada was once a politician himself.

And now, Ara Mina? What the heck? She is running for councilor of Quezon City. There is a good chance that she will win because of the popularity vote. If she does win, then Quezon City, you deserve your officials.

Do we still need more of them? I believe our political system is circusy enough, does she need to join in the fun?

Well, after the ending of a show, there is always a new one.

This time it is the remake of the story “Agua Bendita”. The show is top-billed by newcomer Andi Eigenmann, who just might as well be considered a celebrity daughter because of her lineage. She is the daughter of veteran actors, Jaclyn Jose and Mark Gil. She was first seen on Pinoy Big Brother but now she is all grown up and sophisticated. She lost so much weight! And she looks good with straight hair when she was interviewed for TV Patrol.

Anyway, I think this is another good drama to watch. The story is already established and it is only up to the actors to play their part. And because acting is in the genes of Andi, I am pretty sure that she can pull this through.

I just finished watching the grand ending of May Bukas Pa. I knew it! Santino did not die! Or at least, he was resurrected. It would have been anti-climactic to show all those mourners and expect Santino to really die in the ending.

Well, he did die, for awhile, but he was brought back to life, cementing the fact that he is really the miracle boy of Bagong Pag-asa.

And I say that this is a grand ending because it is a star-studded episode. All the stars that had appearances in the show took part in the mourning for Santino’s passing. And choir! My goodness! There was Martin Nievera, Zsa Padilla, Charice Pempengco, Ariel Pineda, Sam Milby, Toni Gonzaga, Christian Bautista, Eric Santos, Vina Morales, Jed Madela, and others that I cannot remember. Toni Gonzaga was ravishing, if I may say.

Well, Zaijan Jaranilla, who plays Santino, is now on to the next project, a movie with Piolo Pascual. In the meantime, I suggest Zaijan should eat and sleep and just enjoy being a kid in between the shoots. C’mon guys, give the boy a break!

My friend is an avid supporter of Bro. Eddie Villanueva and his cause to become president of this country. And yeah, I think that Bro. Eddie is the more deserving candidate. Many candidates who have become officials have all inundated their talents, skills, and experiences. But where did all these bring us? Our officials have all brought down our economy because of corruption.

Why not give a person who fears the Lord a chance to run the affairs of government? We can remember in biblical times that if the leader was not for God, the nation of Israel went into corrupt practices and they were always defeated by their enemies. But if they had a leader who loved God, they were victorious. Why not elect a leader who loves and fears the Lord?

I leave that to you to think about.

Indeed, may pag-asa pa.

When I opened Facebook today, I was surprised to see that they layout is different. The elements that we love about FB are still there, but the feel is different.

I know it is just me but I found it difficult at first to navigate around the site. Maybe it is just that I am resistant to change. It always takes me some time to get used to something new. And when it is changed again, I panic. hehe I don’t know what kind of reaction is that.

I am just happy that lately I was able to keep in touch with long lost friends through Facebook. As in people whom I almost forgot that became part of my life at one point or another. We kept in touch and updated each other on the happenings of our lives. Some had been painful, some sad, but many had been happy moments. And we are happy to share them through FB.

When I was in California for a month several years back, I wondered about earthquakes. I knew that they happened in the area. And true enough, in the middle of my trip, a mild earthquake (at least in their standards) hit a town that was just several kilometers from where I was! We did not feel the tremor though so it was just probably a light one.

Anyway, now another earthquake has hit California in Petrolia, Eureka and the Mt. Shasta area. But even with these happenings in California, people still want to go there. Honestly, I am not at peace there, because I worry about these natural calamities.

Going showbiz, it seems that the more popular are, the more you need to find someone to replace you, especially if you want to go incognito. There are Hollywood stars who bring a doppelganger to a tour, just in case they want to lose the paparazzi and some hostile fans. They also have body doubles in their movies. Gee, imagine that. The price of fame. I wonder what kind of lives the celebrities are living?

The NBI is suspecting that there is foul play in the BREDCO Port Accident where a Mitsubishi Pajero fell into the waters, killing its passengers, Ramon Vicete and Gelah Sunico.

The Visayan Daily Star reported, “Based on the autopsy report of Cong, Vicete had hematomas on his head, there was bleeding in his brain and had a crack on his skull, while several abrasions were noted on the woman’s hands, chest and abdomen.” (City Medico Legal Officer Eli Cong)

Well…there goes judgments.

Okay, I know it sounds pathetic but I could really use a new pair of sandals. I had been wearing a couple of footwear–a pair of Ipanema and another pair of imitation Happy Feet sandals–and would like high-heeled sandals for semi-formal occasions. (I had been wearing flipflops ever)

I found a nice pair of SM Parisian wedges that I like at SM City Bacolod. The soles and heels are black while the straps are in white. Very nice and neat. It only costs P500 or roughly $10. But I remembered that I have bills to pay and after my minor surgery two weeks ago, I really don’t have extra money to splurge. It is going to be my daughter’s birthday in 5 weeks and we have already touched the money for her party because of my accident. I may just have to contend with borrowing my sister in law’s sandals if ever. Unless of course, God will just grant me what I have been wanting, just like He had before.

Anyway, speaking of my accident, my doctor has graciously offered to help me claim some reimbursements from Philhealth and SSS, after all, I did use the operating room for my minor surgery. That would mean around $100 in reimbursements and that is a lot of money for us.

So my husband went to the Records Section yesterday. Unfortunately, they could not find my records. It seems that the people at the Labor Room where I was admitted failed to take my information, hence, my case was not recorded. It would have been nice, because I am not really that proud of my accident, but I needed those records for Philhealth.

My husband said that he is ever so thankful to the helpful staff at Doctor’s Hospital. He said they were very nice, and courteous and polite. They offered help in every aspect. Anyway, I had to call again today by phone to follow up but it was not done yet because the Labor Room staff have to prepare the admitting information. So I just have to call again tomorrow if it is ready for pick up. Nevertheless, the one who entertained me was also very helpful and resourceful. I just want to thank you guys for your good service.
