verbally employed

even if i am assured of that position, and halfway done in settling my pre-employment requirements....


nothing beats seeing that contract offer with my signature in it.


guess i'm still at the job hunting phase.

shameless bragging

given my current 'bum' phase, these beautiful flowers keep me going everyday.

birthday tidbits

1. Heard Mass with Mom to start my day right.
2. Two interviews scheduled on the same day; considered for employment by the companies.
3. My darn cold, which has been getting in the way during the interviews.
4. A conversation with my baby in between interviews.
5. Greetings galore from family, relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Benta ang globe, smart, pati friendster!
6. Birthday messages conveying how happy they are for me, and that I deserve the happiness that I’m getting now.
7. Relatives (plus Dad & Kuya Den) being a bit curious as to what the boyfriend has in store for me.
8. In line with that, not having an idea what it is (galing ng baby ko ah, hindi bumigay!).
9. Tep's birthday gift: body shop's moon flower perfume & oil control paper (goodbye, gatsby!).
10. Incidentally, Tep's note which says: I love you (the way Carlo does).
11. Kuya Den & Grace's birthday gift: gimmick night with Acoustic Jive on Saturday - and you give yourself awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
12. Mom & dad's gift: book shopping spree at Powerbooks.
13. Not getting impatient while waiting for the rest of the family to arrive at Greenbelt.
14. Spent part of the waiting period at Powerbooks, highly engrossed in a book by Caroline Tiger: A Guide to LDRs (for those who are geographically challenged). Learned loads, too.
15. Spent the other part listening to different music at Tower records; sound trip over Putomayo's world music shelf, the best musicals compilation, classic and latin jazz, and Brownman Revival.
16. Family dinner at Banana Leaf Curry House in Greenbelt - flashback to the hawker type eateries we pass by in Singapore.
17. Getting to eat the Hongkong style noodles (finally) that I only got to eat once during my stay in Singapore.
18. Kuya Den giving me a ride to the next interview for the day - kinda missed him doing that, too.
19. The feeling of completeness, now that everyone’s physically present.
20. Overwhelmed and thankful with the blessings He has selflessly given me.
21. The first time I celebrated a birthday with a boyfriend, legal and all. Yes, I’m 120% in love and proud of it!
22. Darn! 23 na ako?!?!?!!?!
23. Happy tears upon reading my baby’s letter.
