I had dinner with hubby and brother-in-law at Roadway House, SM. It was a dinner treat from hubby's boss for their group's good sales performance. Thanks to 3M Phils.

Bought a new bicycle for son, Adrian at Toy Kingdom for 50% off, i.e., instead of 2,000.00, we only paid 1,000.00. Big savings! It feels really good seeing my son with a big smile when  he saw it. He slept so late, can't stop him from biking indoors.

Today's my mother-in-law's 57th bday. Wishing her all the happiness. It's never too late to be happy.

Slept early, I mean 10:00 pm is still early for me.

 

It's October..and what's in store for me this month? Big time! It's so inspiring to start the day and the month with a text message from a very special person from the past, asking me how I am, extending his greetings of good luck for my board examination 1 week from now. I called him up in his office this afternoon for some questions. It's my first time to do that. Honestly, talking with him still gives my empty stomach full of butterflies. If only we're both unattached, i.e., another one of those countless wishfull thinkings for more than a decade now. I still feel for him.

After today's work, I'm going to a wedding. How I wish I've been a lucky bride.

That's me, wishing and wishing..

But I want to wish no more! I want my wishes to happen. So to speak, from today onwards, I will be the most diligent person. I'm going to be a CPA and I'm entering BIR.

Kudos! Thank you for the luck Chris.

 

 

 

I'm not attending review class today. I have to do grocery, buy indoor slippers, go home early to tutor Adrian, take some rest, and study. I don't know where this ambition is going..

Dear Friends,

 

            My mother has been suffering from breast cancer for two years now. She was operated, had undergone chemotherapy and recently completed radio therapy. Unfortunately, despite all these procedures, the cancer recurred and metastasized in other parts of her body. It is now in stage 4 and according to her oncologist she needs 6 cycles of chemotherapy the soonest possible. It would cost us a total amount of P360, 000 (P60, 000 per cycle) excluding pain reliever and other medicines. We have already exhausted all our resources during the previous treatments. As of now, we have difficulty in raising the required amount for her chemotherapy. As the sole breadwinner, I’m looking for other possible means to help my mother. I’m doing this not only because I love her so much but also because I can see that she remains to be strong in spite of the pain she is going through. We have just lost our father and it pains us more to lose another beloved one especially our mother.

           

With this, I am asking your kind and generous heart for any help you can extend to us. This would give her greater chances for survival. I don’t know how could I thank you enough but I’d be more than grateful to God knowing that I’m not alone in this and that you are there in our times of crucial need.

 

Thank you so much. God bless!

 

 

Sincerely,

No class today due to transport strike. There' s work though. Anyway, I still went to school coz I didn't know there's no class.  So I met Audrey, a boardmate from college, and had quite long talk with her. I came to know that another friend, Ruthy Carla, is now abroad working in a cruise ship while her hubby is also working in another cruise ship leaving their 2 daughters behind. And then another acquaintance, Aning, is working in Manila as an accountant while her hubby and less then a year old child are in their hometown. My point is, how can they bear the situation of being alone and far from their family especially that their kids are too young and still needing mother's care? I'm still lucky to have my family with me.. to go home to everyday. Even though I'd have an option to work afar, I'd still choose to be here and live a simple life. So maybe, working full time and at the same time schooling which means little time for my family isn't so bad afterall. I'm still here to take care of Adrian, to provide his needs. I'm still here for Carlos, to be with him and support him.

Watta day! Went all the way to Dvo Doc hospital at 1 am with my son's persistent crying and ended up with a paracetamol prescription, slept at about 2,woke up at 7, reported to work at 8:30..faced customers, answered calls, talked with the HR manager & the company's boss of all bosses, bought gifts, called yaya, mama, papa, carlos, adrian, ym w/ sis. After this I'm going to birthday party of my good friend's son who is my grandchild. That means missing class again.

Definitely, this is the day of all days. It still feels good to have good people around.

The best person in the whole wide world..my mother!She's celebrating her birthday so to not miss out her special day, I had lunch at the office with her and her officemates. My prayer for her is longer life..'til I'm a CPA, 'til I have a baby again, 'til they graduate in grade school then high school then college. If only she'll be alive until forever.

I'm relieved to know that Adrian finally entered his classroom and faced the beginning of his student's life..again this is just the beginning for my son. I'll do my best to support him all the way whatever it takes. Congrats to my baby. Remember son, you have to be brave now that you're in the real world.

Thumbs Up!

 

My son's 1st day at school and my 1st day as a member of the PTA. To begin, I filed a half day leave to witness my son's 1st memorable experience at school. I have prepared this day since April. I enrolled him early on, contacted motorpool,  bought his uniform, shoes, school bag and school supplies. I'm excited to see him in complete school gear.

Indeed it's memorable since he didn't entered his classroom. He wanted me or his yaya to accompany him inside. But the teahcers didn't permit. So, we stayed outside for 2 hrs instead.

" Don't let the ODDS keep you from doing what you think in your heart you ought to do"

That's right. That's why no matter how busy I am with work ( the endless phone calls, walk-in customers, commands from my boss, favors gone overboard from my officemates), with family, friends and other responsibilities, I won't stop myself from becoming who and what I want to be. They don't understand me anyway. Besides, can they offer me anything more than my dream?

It's 4:30 pm. My day at work is about to end. I'm so sleepy. I want to stay in bed like there's no tomorrow. But then I still have to go to school and stay up late. How I wish I don't have to sleep because it's the only thing I can sacrifice for now.
