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!

My dentist is scheduled for a two-month trip to Japan, and she’s set to leave this Saturday and that’s why I really don’t have a choice but to pay a visit on her for my monthly adjustment on my braces. I am actually really short in budget for this month as I have so many bills to pay but guess I don’t have a choice but put in priority my payment to her… or else I’m going to put my teeth on droop, given that two months vacation is quite a long time. Anyway, I did go to the clinic and have my braces adjusted. After some other concerns and instruction we had few talks, and I really expressed my envy to her (LOL). I honestly am so envious to Doc. as it is one of my greatest desire – to go to Japan. Yes! to have a trip to the home of my Terada – Japan :). If some of my friends want to have a European tour or travel to Canada or Hollywood or New York, I prefer to set off for Japan (oh! not to mention Korea as well :)) I just love Japan so much and I don’t know why..maybe I was a Japanese in my past life Well, aside from Mt. Fuji, Cherry Blossoms, Bullet Train, and Disneyland in there… I like the nation itself. I truly admire how did the Japanese coalesced the progress of technology without obliterating the nature. I mean, they are the gadget capital of the world and when you say Japanese technology it is really of high quality… observe their ergonomic products, they are fairly one of the finest and even more sophisticated inventions are coming out as time go by, and yet the beauty of nature is still preserved and pollution is not as quandary as Manila’s pollution. I just wish that Filipinos will adapt the same approach to what did the Japanese do for their country.

I can’t believe I’m starting to do this monthly report! Never in my wildest dreams would I ever end up having a career in accounting or anything that has something to do with the numbers. When I got hired in my current job (a shipping agent) I was skeptical with myself as I’m aware of my own weaknesses. Every time my friends and I are talking and sharing stories about our job I was really mocking at myself and I kept on laughing why I hired as an accounting staff. Two months ago, my co-worker, Ate Lea decided to shift career and move for better opportunities… she’s already tender resignation and unfortunately I’m the one who will fill in for the position she’s going to leave. Guess what her duties in here are?!?!?! Doing weekly/monthly reports for shipments in the entire market!!! As in not just local shipments but international!!! My gosh!!! As in super OMG to the highest level!!! Why is the world punishing me?! I can’t believe I’m going to face these brain-cracking numbers for the rest of my life here in GTSI!! I know that I have any choice now but to accept this bitter reality in my life now! That I’m going to be busier now… that I’ll become more physically exhausted.. and I’ll look more stressful (lol)… and above all I’ll be having lesser time for my blogs and other online matters. This thing is just so untimely now that I already know what the online gambling tips for online casino are. I even know now what the sites for casinos with best bonuses are. Guess I don’t have any choice but do this if I have spare time.

With all the spam emails you are receiving each day, and all those scam issues took place in every individual or to a group of people, it is really a disappointing thing that a lot of people will do everything and anything just to make money, regardless of deceiving people. That’s why this days, in this age of “survival of the fittest” you gotta have to be extra cautious and attentive in your surrounding, being watchful to what is going on, and if ever you are to enter a certain thing make sure to know the facts about it……What an inspiring words of wisdom shared by certain online games addict. He’s been so much into internet games for about seven years now. From pirated software he download in his own pc, to free on-line games web hosts and up to membership games ( or shall I say legal games but with pay ). All these experiences he had , you can really say that he’s such a master and like a pro!. But would you believe it?! Despite of all those things he tried for years he was still being defrauded. He was about to join membership for online casino games but not very soon when he found out that his winnings he got is not even to what he is supposed to receive according to game rules. Well that’s why it is very important to verify and confirm every issue about what you are entering, that’s the purpose of online gaming reviews, to give you all the information you need especially if money is involve here. And we all know that once their money involve in a certain thing people will really grave it.

As I have said, we are in the “survival of the fittest” and the wisest people only wins. So you cannot afford to be careless, don’t forget that fraud does not only happen on the net…..much more in physical surrounding.

Saturdays still a working day for private companies, in our company it is suppose to be a half day work, not unless if there’s a vessel on call.. whether it is Sunday or Holiday, for as long as there’s a vessel to arrive or depart, you really have no choice but stay on duty. Government employees are just so lucky for they have two days break in a week – Saturday and Sunday.

Well anyways, Donna and I got off from the office past 12 noon and went straight ahead to Victoria plaza as she’s going to meet her Mom, while me has to buy something (pasalubong) for my dearest niece – Niece, and buy myself a lunch as well for I don’t like what has Inday prepared for our lunch (Sinabawan’g Bariles at walang kamatayan’g Paksiw!) Still at Victo… while waiting for Donna’s mom I started to get sleepy until I reached home. After I had my lunch no matter how strongly I fought myself not to fall asleep ‘coz I’m still full, I just couldn’t stop myself from getting drowsy and I suddenly broke down and I just gave myself up to my bed and sleep. When I woke up, I took a glance at my mobile phone to check the time… OMG!!! It’s already past 5 in the afternoon!!! I was really startled ‘coz I promised my friend ­– Barbie just before I went off from the office that I’ll get back on YM after having my lunch so we can chat. Aside from that, I really do need to get back online to update all my blogs, of course! Especially now that Bloggerwave has given me job postings to three of my Blog sites. Gosh I’m so happy for this ‘coz I’m going to Make Money for this… I’m just feeling so inspired and enthused whenever I received link assignments
