rage… angst… disappointment… joy…. high spirits!

I just had a small discussion with Dad about cash financing and/or credit loans or whatsoever you may call it… We were like having plans to finance business on credit loans but our ideas never intersected LOL… I kept on telling him that if he is to administer such kind of moneymaking, he must put-off his sensitive character or else he will just suffer a great lose! I’ve known him so well, and so as with my Mom and my sister about this attitude of my Dad – very, very prone to sympathy and generosity.

Well anyways, we’re having this brain-storming thing few hours ago on interest and percentage rates, and as expected the formula he presented to us (me and Mom) is very charitable. Gosh! He’s almost like didn’t gain enough money to the money he invested, of course we contradicted… then he’ll just defend his idea that he’s just giving advance money for fast cash payday loans, and we are guaranteed of payment from that 15th-month pay through their ATM… and so on and so forth… blah.. blah.. whatever!

I understand him that he doesn’t want to abuse or take advantage of other people’s adversity.. but my gosh! Not to the point of risking our funds for the future considering that this money will be an investment for our entire livelihood in the future. They already venture to various businesses before but never succeeded, and I do not want them to risk anymore to uncertain things and do the same mistake.

My four-year old niece - Nicole is ready for her schooling this coming June for opening of school-year classes. She’s very excited since last year for her schooling and she’s even ready with her school supplies, and knows very well which school she is attending for pre-school, kindergarten school, and up to primary level. But as for this Summer, we we’re planning to enroll her for some non-academic activities that will help her in social development. We’re choosing between ballet, swimming, and Wushu classes. My sister would like to enroll her to ballet class, while my brother (which happens to be Nicole’s Dad) wanted her to learn swimming. As for me, I also like her to take swimming classes ‘coz I wanted her to learn swimming as young as her age (not like me.. that at my age I still don’t know how to swim LOL) because aside from gaining physical fitness, it is also a method for survival… Though my brother finally decided to take her into swimming lessons I’m still suggesting that I prefer to engage her into the art of Wushu. Wushu is a Chinese Martial Arts, it is the style of martial arts we have seen on the movies of Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Well, I’m such an avid supporter of martial arts movies so maybe that’s the reason why I’m so inclined to that Wushu thing :D. Well, the thing now is my brother asking me if I could also join Nicole into this swimming lesson this summer after all I also have plans to take swimming lessons too. Waahhh!! I’m so dead! My money is only intended for my enrollment in Japanese language course.. and if I’m going to enroll for swimming lessons too I’m pretty sure that I’ll get screwed with my credit card bill. I still don’t have definite decision for now, but if I can secure for a cash advance payday loan

maybe I can have swimming lessons too.

I spent my entire weekend at our farm in Kidapawan. The whole Nietes clan was their and even my Aunt who’s living in Manila went home with her two daughters (too bad her husband - Uncle John, and her eldest – Donna wasn’t able to make it this time due to work and classes respectively). Oh I just really missed this family get-together.. I’m very much sure Nanay (my grandmother) was very happy to see us complete in her house

Anyways, Saturdays are still counted for working days in my company and we have a half-day call for duty, but despite of my previous absences last week I still ask for leave of absence that day because I just couldn’t really miss this weekend trip. The whole family is set off to Lake Agco for that Mud Bath and Hot Spring. I’ve heard from my other Aunt about this place and I was really decided to go to this place in time. Good thing that my Aunt from Manila is really seeking for nature tripping so we have set a date for this trip. Before going to the resort proper you gotta have to brace yourself for one of a heck dusty and rough road, but I tell you once you’ve been to the place, and most especially having that mud applied all over your body; took a bath to the sulfur pool; get yourself to their so-called Jacuzzi Steam and Spa… I swear to God that that you will feel a lot of relief. I don’t know how to explain but I just felt some soothing therapies within me, and above all the improvements I felt in my skin. You will really feel that your skin will be a lot smoother like as if you applied a moisturizer or more than that. My gosh, I’m telling each one of my friends about this Health Spa Resort in lake Agco… coz I really want to go back to this place and if they don’t enough funds for this trip then they better avail for online payday loans because life is too short so we must enjoy life to the fullest… we must try to have fun and explore every places’ beauty now that we’re still young.

There are many newly opened housing projects in several parts of Davao City. If you are an individual with your own family or starting to have your own family, I think you better seek to avail for such housing projects wherein you can acquire your own house and lot that is at-ease on your payment terms. I think monthly payment for mortgages is much better that paying for house rent… of course it is! After all what you pay for will be yours in time whereas your payment for house rent will be like a wasting of money. Getting your own house is very much important, even a car is actually becoming a necessity these days, but how can you get these things if your will depend on your monthly pay? A cash advance

is one way that will help you in getting you own dream house with terms of payment that you can choose from. As years go by, the value of these real properties are increasing so it’s better to acquire such assets as earlier as possible.

Wednesday night I’m finally set to visit a dear friend-Michelle. Due to my busy work schedules, time conflicts, and for some other reasons we really can’t get some chance to meet (duh! as if we’re executives or celebrities LOL). The last time I saw her when she’s still on her four-month pregnancy and her tummy’s not that big yet. But well, now that she’s now on her way to give birth to her first pregnancy for this month (for this week or next week to be exact) I really gotta see her before she’ll finally get herself to that labor thing and gave birth. I can’t accept it if I’m unable to see her how does she look like in her preggy clothes, having big, rounded tummy..

As I reached her home, then finally see her… I was kinda shocked with her preggy looks. I just couldn’t imagine the very appealing, ever crush ng bayan, and eye-catching Michelle May Montojo is having a stomach like as if she have swallowed a whole watermelon… you know all those things we talked before about being pregnant is actually in her time now. Gosh! This is another one realization thing that we’re not getting younger anymore After dinner we head off to their internet café so we can chat with Malou, or maybe we can catch Harlie there as it’s her birthday. During those times we spent on YM talking with Malou we never stop discussing about “Blog”. Actually, Malou’s a newbie in the blogosphere and she’s got a bunch of questions about this and that. Micmic and I are teasing her before hand that ain’t no “blog talks” for this chat LOL. Of course, that can’t be ‘coz Malou is really interested to start blogging and soon join Smorty and start to blog advertising. Of course with all of her questions, Micmic finally gave up and she feels like she’s about to deliver her baby then LOL. We kept on making fun with Malou and tease her and laughing at her for all of her new “talents” these days and with the old ones as well. It was a fun evening then @ Protocol mixed with heavy rains hehehe.. I got to go home past one in the morning.

March 16, 2008, Sunday, the most awaited fight of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez has finally fall out. Of course the whole Philippines is so concerned and focused on this fight, and just like the rest of the previous fights of Manny the whole country seem to be in halt – no traffic, zero crime rate, no work and what’s most?!! Even Davao City’s Araw ng Dabaw Parade Festival has moved to the next day because of this (yah I think so I’m sure this is the reason!)

I saw the whole fight..of course! I especially want to see this fight because I really want to witness the final judgment of this fight once and for all. You know, their fight four years ago when they a “draw” result from the judges, I mean, I’m sorry but personally, I’m not convinced with decision. I may not be so knowledgeable when in terms of scoring in boxing, but with three times Manny knocked off Marquez during the early rounds and not to mention all the points he did, I think he already won over Marquez. Anyway, this Part II of their fight today, the match finished up to the last round and both fighters have their own cuts and bleeding though Marquez’s worse. And when the announcer declares the winner saying “The NEW world champion” I saw Marquez’s face and the rest of his team shocked and they seem to be disappointed with the decision. I don’t know but it’s like they are doubting the scoring or results or whatever, but I mean.. hello?! Do we still need a Los Angeles probate lawyer to certify and make this thing official, or someone who has extensive expertise in judging?

It’s so ironic that among the schools/universities here in the Philippines, Bachelor of Science in Nursing is the most overpopulated among all the courses. But then our hospitals are very lacking of nurses, or course we know the reason why… They all went abroad!

Let me stress out when nursing career was really a big hit since 2003 and with the directive of Philippine Government that a RN can only work abroad once he/she has served the country for two years. If I am not mistaken with my calculation, since 2003 there opened “special program (SP)” for nursing education to all graduates of a four-year course. This SP Course will be finish in two years time including two summer classes. With the rule imposed by the government of two-year service our hospitals could have at least enough nurses to accommodate patients, not to the point of having a ratio of 1:50. I’m telling you, this is really true especially in public hospitals. What’s really the most exasperating is that some hospitals are actually taking advantage of the situation. They will only hire you as their staff nurse once you have undergone six moths of training with them. Imagine, for that 6 months of training you are rendering your services yet you will be the one to pay the hospital for that training! And then, once you have completed your 6-month training, you are going to take examination for you to get officially hired, and with that examination you will AGAIN pay for it! Wow! then why do hospital employees still get their salary very delayed, nor always run out of medicines. I think there’s some sort of corruption in this matter. So, I really can’t blame why Filipino nurses went abroad to work there ‘coz aside from the fact that they are compensated 3 to 4 times much higher abroad, one factor also is because of the system here in our country. Imagine we don’t have enough modern equipments, and even medicines and lab supplies is always insufficient. I think the reason why we don’t have much medical discoveries is because the government lacks to provide support. How would they be able to conduct studies and researches if there’s always a deficiency in providing laboratory products and other scientific instruments.. Imagine another sector in the medical field, apart from the nurses’ situation has its own dilemma too.

Too bad that, us, Filipinos cannot get the benefits of “Pinoy Care” of our nurses, instead it is the foreign countries who can have this special care… lucky these foreign are for hiring Filipino nurses. It’s not easy to work abroad and leave your family here just get better pay, so I just hope that the government MUST find for a solution on this matter.

Recently my Mom gets herself busy with decorating our house. Actually, what she’s most fond of is doing all those gardening stuff outside, it’s just that these past few days they (with dad) are just so unlikely busy with redesigning the set-up of the living room, changing the position over again then move it back, then move it back, then change again… Gosh it makes me sick hahaha! Aside from that they are so much in planning to renovate our house and buy things and stuff for home decorating. She also asked me to look on the net if we can get this through shopping cart and other ecommerce software shopping services provided by Ashop, these are furniture and beds and other ornament stuff for house decoration that we can have. But I still don’t to rush things up until the whole house renovation process has started. Actually I have my own idea and design as to what I wanted it to be look like or the end result, but then of course the full authority and the final decision will still is up to mom and dad for they are the owners of this house. What I’ll just look forward for is designing my own room. I’m so excited about it because I wanted room’s color theme are shades of… of course there would be no other than my favorite color - Olive Green Well aside from green’s a lucky color, this is the color that gives refreshing therapy to my eyes, and also the shades of this will infuse my room with an unwinding and calming atmosphere.

My Dad’s retirement has set off its effect last March 10, 2008 (his birthday). I don’t know why here in my country like it took 48 years -> (means very, very, very long time) of waiting after you get retirement fee. By next month, my Dad will no longer receive a paycheck as his service has ended. We’re aware of how lengthy it is to get his retirement fee but with all the bills and household expenses we need, I think we are so in trouble now (LOL). I wonder if we can apply for an inheritance advance though I know that the money we are expecting to receive in time isn’t about being an “heir thing” but I just look in for our chances if we can avail for it. Goods and other commodities’ prices keep on increasing and I can already foresee scarcity in our funds.. my monthly pay and my mom’s earnings still not quite enough and so I’ll just try to find ways to settle this crisis.

As days go by, I realized that obtaining your resources only from your monthly pay as a regular employee is not really enough to sustain to have a decent life… decent life in a sense that you would be able to eat sufficient and adequate healthy foods for you and for your family as well; you are able to provide clothing and shelter; and schooling for you children. For me these things are the most important, but then of course you also need to have recreation for your family because it also helps upholding family relationship. But with a very minimal wage that you are receiving from your monthly pay I think you cannot accomplish all these needs in your everyday living, and so making efforts to do business is not a bad idea at all especially if you are know all the things to have a strong foundation for business and maintain to be in power. Another thing that will help new establish business to grow is advertising that’s why ecommerce software from Ashop is making a solution for all merchants to sell online, after all selling through out the globe is a great thing!
