connect the dots

It should have been Project 365. But after trying TWICE last year and failing in both attempts, this year I'll try to complete Project 52. That is, 1 photo for each week of the year. Hopefully, this time, taking pictures will be less of a chore and more of a creative task.


That's it! Pancit!

I'm cramming in this entry before I go to sleep and head on to reality tomorrow. I guess, I need to review what happened in 2009 before really facing 2010. Yep, friends, I still haven't completed my "list" yet. Darn, parasite!!! (*yuck*) 

So, here it goes. My 2009.

I expected 2009 to be difficult, and it was. It certainly did not disappoint. Hahaha. For 2010, I can only hope for God's guidance, opportunities to learn and grow, more fun moments and lots of love (uuuuyyy... love daw o!). hahahaha 

BRING IT ON, 2010!!!! 

This last few days of 2009 will be difficult.

Enough said.

Bow.

So, I'm back from Coron! Actually, one week na pala from our Coron adventure but because it's only now that I was able to fix and post my pics, feeling ko fresh na fresh pa rin ang vacation. :D

We were 13 total in the group. O di ba? Andami! Source of anxiety pa siya sa kin kasi 13 kami, tapos Friday the 13th pa flight! hahahaha. Good thing, 3 (Ben, Odette and Raymond) went ahead on Nov 12. Hahahaha! Anyway, featuring the Coron cast...

During our stay, we went to 1 lagoon, 1 hot spring, 1 lake, 1 mountain, 2 cliffs, 2 coral gardens, 2 shipwreck sites, 3 beaches and fed thousands of fish. Syempre, OA yung thousands at hindi ko na talaga sure kung tama yung numbers ko, but just to get my point across... all day, NASA LAOT kami. hahahaha. Sabi nga ni Ate, nasobrahan tayo sa ligo ngayon. :D

Coron is definitely a paradise for city people like us. Breath taking views, relaxing atmosphere... nakakaadik dito. :D The highlight of the trip for me was snorkeling in Kalamboyan (again, not sure of the beach! hehehe). Sobrang ganda ng corals! It's like swimming in one gigantic aquarium. Haaayyy...

I'm planning to go back. This time with college friends. Nainggit sila sa kin. Hahahaha. Sino pa kasama? Sana may piso fare ulit! weee!!! :D

PS. I can not end this post without sharing my favorite series of photos I took in Mt. Tapyas.


( Enjoy (esp Lynnie)! *wink* )

Happiness is hard to come by lately. But, I'm now "freshly" determined to appreciate the good things that come my way.  To start, here are some of the things worth looking forward to.

1. Tita Claire and Tito Joel are coming back this weekend!2. 4 Day Weekend3. 26th Birthday4. Coron Trip!!!That's it! Pancit! Ang init!


PS. I think I need to update this blog more often. It forces me to think happy thoughts. Nobody wants to read a sad blog.

This is Louie. Finally, meron na siyang pangalan. Gusto ko sana James, para parang Baby James. kaso ang hirap nyang tawagin. Kailangan two syllables at nag-e-end sa "yiiii" dapat para masaya. Hahahahaha.

He's a shih tzu. And when I researched sa internet on how to properly take care of this kind of breed, eto nabasa ko:

In short, KSP. Oh gosh. Hahahahaha. Vicky, gusto mo hiramin? :D

Aimee: Haaaayyy, sana ganito lang palagi (commenting on the rainy day, doing nothing but watching TV,   reading books etc etc)

Mama: Alam mo, ang tingin ko sa yo, tamad na tamad ng magtrabaho.

Aimee: Tama ka dyan, Ma.  Tama ka dyan...


GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Sabi nga ni Vicky, "AWESOME". 2 days after the concert, I still can't get over her ka-gaga-han. Hahahaha. Money well spent nga. I really didn't think of watching the concert up until Dangsy texted. The ever-kaladkarin Aime said yes at heto bumili na kagad ng tickets. Days before the concert, I find myself excited and pressured to memorize the songs and planning our outfit for the night. Nids suggested wag na raw kami mag pants. :D

Well, Lady Gaga didn't disappoint. Sige na nga, mapapatawad na namin ang "super high" tech cardboard and foil props nya at ang tinipid nyang costumes-slash-panties. Hahahahaha! Super fun experience (sarap magwala at sumigaw sigaw), the crowd was amazing (kasi andun kaming 4! hahaha) and Lady Gaga can really sing. Of course, given na na super enjoyable ang Poker Face and Just Dance, but I was definitely impressed when she sang Brown Eyes. Basta, wowowowow!!! I so liked Boys Boys Boys kahit hindi ko alam yung lyrics at "Boys boys boys!" lang ang nasisigaw ko. Ang landi landi kasi ng dance steps. WOOOOOOO!!!

So, there. Lady Gaga is one gutsy bi-a-tch! :D

aaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :D

I just read Vicky and Nids' blog and well, they're quite stressed and frustrated. Para matuwa naman kayo...

Vicky, kamukha mo si Bulilit. pareho kayo malaki ulo. hehehehehe. Peace!

He's using his camera phone to take beautiful photos.

Maybe I'll use my camera phone too for my project 365.

Last week, I was watching ANC's Start Up. Bum Aquino was talking with a chef/owner of a restaurant and bed & breakfast in Rizal. He asked her what does she like best about having a business of her own. The owner replied, "the lifestyle it gives me." She loves the fact the she comes to work everyday with birds chirping in her workplace. She clarifies, "Don't get me wrong, there are also days that you're stressed, but at least there are still birds chirping in the background."

Gosh, naiinggit ako. I wish for a job that gives me that kind of lifestyle. Tipong free of worries. Well, I'm sure you're not exactly free, but at least you're worried for your own business and not for the business of others.

Lately, I've been thinking of what I really want. As in really really want in life. Definitely, ayokong magtrabaho forever sa corporate world. At lalong ayaw ko magtrabaho for a crappy boss. But that's a different entry altogether. I remember, nung college, during a Unilever career talk, the speaker asked, "If you could have any job in the world, regardless of salary, job security etc., what would that be?" One answered, travel show host. Si Nids ata, gusto national geographic correspondent. Ako, gusto ko dancer. hahahahahaha. Lately, I've been daydreaming that I'm resigning in my current job because I was able to get a scholarship to study contemporary dance in London. Hanep di ba? Mag daydream ka na nga lang, dapat grandiose na!

Haaaay.... gusto ko sumayaw at mag picture picture at pumunta sa Holland.

hahahaha. First name basis! We're tight!

2. Do you remember Sandara Park?

                  Apparently, she now has a girl pop group in Korea. Kamusta naman kaya si Hero? hehehehehe

I think it must be the coffee during breakfast. :D




PS. Vicky, pakopya ng title ha. :D

Azeus - "Eymi"
Fonterra - "Eymi"
Pen - "Aymi"
UL - halo: "Eymi" / "Aymi".

Hmmm... Pansin ko lang, sa mga companies na tinatawag akong "Eymi", hindi ako nagtagal. hahahahahaha. Kaya ba conficted ako dito sa UL? Pinipilit ko na nga yung mga office mates ko na tawagin akong "Aymi." But, others still insist. Grrrr. :D


Heniwey, I had a talk with super bossing yesterday. I did not bother mentioning all my hinaing sa buhay anymore because I know that he knows already. Besides, wala na namang bearing because: 1. I already told my concerns to PO; 2. I know super bossing already talked with my IS about our concerns and I think he instructed her to change a bit; 3. I have already made my decision to stay for a while. 

2 key advices I got from him:

"I have always maintained that if you're learning something, STAY. "
"Don't let anyone, particulary, your boss, influence your decision. You must be sure that it's really want you want."

 Now, all I need to do is to FOCUS. Channel my energy to something productive. NO MORE DRAMA!





Well, at least, until October. hehehehehehe
