Expect Less (My perspective)
To avoid disappointments, better set yourself to expect less or never expect at all. Let things comes in form of surprises that will turn your world in a positive mode. Expectations varies from low to high level, through daily life experience I have learned that it is very difficult to trick yourself in a certain scenario on expecting things turning out positive or as what you’ve expected. When expectations are not achieved and it suddenly crashed in front of you, it will be off beat and will ruin your good mood and at the end you’re still the LOSER. So breathe in, breathe out and start to regain positive vibes to get rid of the bad omen. Start not to worry things which are out of your control. Don’t let those expectations over power you. Try not to be emotional if expectations pull off.
Always remember Less Expectations Less Disappointments.

Pray More (My perspective)
Prayers can move mountains. If you’re in the edge of expectation, pray more. If a brick suddenly fall at least you have something to cling on. Pray and ask for courage and strength so that if things don’t fall into place it will not cause you any harm. Prayers will always give you a positive head start to be ready even to the least unexpected things. In reality it is very hard not to expect but if our expectations are accompanied with prayers I am sure that no matter what kind of turn around will happen you’ll definitely stand on the right side of the boat.
Pray More and God will do the rest.

Why am I writing this? Simply because I am one of those who have high expectations but more often fall. I used to hate myself whenever I fail on things which I thought I could handle. But at the end of the day I am still the big LOSER. I have no one to blame. If those times I have prayed more than expecting more, I would have survive and never experience depression. Yet, I have not adjusted pretty well but I know where to get ultimate strength --- from GOD. God will surely be there for us anytime of the day and he knows what is best for us and of course to my hubby who’s always there to listen and understand my whining. Now I am starting to see things as a surprise as a way to expect less. It would be very hard to turn your back from expectations but if you don’t want to get hurt, learn how to handle things through your own perspective. There's nothing wrong if your expectations are high as long as you can hold your horses whenever you fail.

Hi guys, hope all is well!
Been out of blogging world for quite sometime, well at least not for good – heheh! Ramadan is almost over which means office timing will soon resume back to normal --- sigh!

Anyways, gotta start with my random updates, so to all my visitors read on...

Civil Wedding
My sister got married last 11 September 2008 in Philippine Consulate, Dubai. Nothing fancy, it’s just a simple wedding celebrated with close families and friends. Since I am one of the so called “witnesses” I decided to skip from work. We got them a simple wedding cake plus souvenirs for the guests. Dinner was held at Mini Chinese Restaurant at City Center Sharjah, the evening turns so smooth while all the guests enjoy their sumptuous meals. I’m happy for my sister that finally he found someone whom she can spend the rest of her life with. And to his hubby, Welcome to the Family!

Promoted
Hubby got promoted from work and I want to say that I am really proud of him. This is his 2nd promotion since he joined in year 2004. He deserves the credit for he’s devoted to work and really loves his job. Though evidently more often, pressure is eating his head out but still he manages to be cool and face all odds with positive turn around. I hope the promotion comes along with good moolah. To my one and only honey, I am so proud of you, Congratulations and Keep it up! I am waiting for the treat!

Shopping
Of course shopping will always be part of this blog --- heheh!
Zara was on Sale few weeks ago and I got a chance to buy some stuffs for myself while the remaining items are mainly pasalubongs! I love shopping anyways, this is my way to forget all the pressure and hurdles in our daily life. It’s like a dose of medicine that I have to take before getting a tantrum, so I consider this as my therapy every time I feel down and so low. What a way to spoil my vice while I keep my eyes shut, ears closed and a purse wide open – heheh!

Hubby got this new P&S A650 IS Canon Digital Camera, getting ready for our up coming trips...

Moving out
No we’re not moving out. This news is not yet clear neither confirmed but the big B is gone for an ocular visit to check on with the new office building. If that happens I will be one happy and lucky gal, the location is very close to where we reside imagine 10 minutes walk from home. I’ll be saving taxi fares which will give me extra moolah for shopping, isn’t it great! Well, I hope things will push through --- crossing my fingers!

oOoOh LiFe...

August was a tough month, stressful I may say. A lad screwed us and made a big fuss which cost hefty amount of bucks, he squeezed the fruit not only from us (god bless him), he's such a head and pocket drainer. See, this lad came here to hunt for a job. He’s given 60 days stay on Visit Visa, so it means he’ll have 60 days to search for a job. To make the story short, this lad came here not from his own expense and without a single penny with him (literally, not even a single dollar). He stayed with us, free of everything --- from rent, food, and etcetera plus allowance so he can even pay his taxi/bus fares. This lad is such a disgrace, after all the things we have done for him, he still made a big hurdle with a matching bang which transformed things into a disastrous situation.

Hubby have given him a job in their office, imagine he was not been ask to submit any Resume’ and haven’t gone to any series of interviews, he just pops in the office and voila he started to work. Somebody should be grateful in that case, but it was a full 360 degrees negative turn. The story began to be agonizing, until I decided to throw him out of the house, I have to do it otherwise trouble will be the next game. He stayed with my sister and then blew the same tantrums which turned into a much heated pitfall. Finally he decided to go back home, his visa will be 14 days expired before his scheduled flight. Due to the fact that he doesn’t have the money to pay the air fare and the fine he has to pay at immigration office, my sister is good enough to shoulder his air fare and I, on the other hand paid his daily penalty cost for the expired visa which is almost equivalent to his air fare ticket (tell me i'm insane). Sorry to say this but I don’t know where the hell is his brain or if he have one. Now, his back home, no job to earn for a living and he believe that his one clever lad after all he has done. I believe in Karma, definitely there’s always payback time.

~~~ooOOOoo~~~

It’s already ber months which mean Christmas is just around the corner and by this time Radio’s are already playing Christmas songs. How I wish I can spend Christmas back home, hopefully we can manage to celebrate it with our families next year --- cross my fingers---…This is the time of the year that I fervently wanted to be home.

There are things that we want to accomplish before the year end. And one of those is to at least travel locally or if given a chance I would love to fly thousand miles from here. We’re trying to save some bucks for our travel plans, I hope nothing will hinder. Since we started working abroad, traveling is one of our goals. But due to our family obligations which interfere with our travel plans, traveling was been set aside at least for the meantime. Last year, we’ve planned to visit Hong Kong but apparently nothing transpired, then who to blame? Ummm----never mind… This time we have decided to focus on traveling since we are not yet blessed with a love child, this is the perfect jiffy to explore and enjoy because it will be only me and him. Now I guess it’s time to start our butts moving. We have some places in mind but I’ll just keep my mouth tightly zip before anything slip out of my tongue.

Let’s just see if it will push through or will it be just another stroy blew in the air. I hope and pray that our plans will turn out positive. I can feel good vibes, mmmm---sensing a good turn around….
