and so im busy....

I know I have not visited this blog for quite long. Our hands are full with tons of things to do such as sorting out my office stuffs as I recently resigned from work, my parents are coming by end of the month and need to prepare an itinerary for their 3 months stay and to top it all, we have to start sorting out our house stuffs as we are due to shift by 2nd week of December. Sheeeshhhh, just thinking about it makes me feel exhausted already. So please bare with me as I try to squeeze some time to blog and give random updates.

Bye for now....

4th...

Happy 4th anniversary to our blog....

ey, it’s been 4 long years though I don’t have a decent update on this blog. Cheers for more blogging years to come....

FaReWeLL....

Today is marks my last working day. God knows how much I have cried and how hard I fought during the remaining days at work. Now I am leaving this place with a heavy and broken heart but then I will bring with me the fond memories of 7 years working with wonderful people who made me feel special and have accepted me to be part of the family. I will definitely miss those smiles and happy moments that we have shared along with all the ups and downs that we battled as a family.

.
To my dear colleagues, thank you for the lovely gift, touching message, great food and most especially for making me feel loved and special even on my last working day. Will definitely miss you all, you don't have any idea how much you have touched my life and I thank god for he has given me the chance to meet great people...

.

As the saying goes, there's a rainbow always after the rain....

fEeLiNg SaD....

In a week’s time I will be leaving this place, the place I consider my second home since I left Manila. It’s becoming sadder as I approach my last working day. How I wish that all stories have happy endings but I guess mine was not a good one. Until now I can feel the pain caused by this dum-dum boss, it feels like I am stubbed a hundred times.

.
Letting go is really hard especially if it doesn’t make you happy. Frankly I am not proud neither happy upon leaving but I guess this is one of god’s plans and I have accepted it. In time I know that better opportunities a waits but when, well that I don’t know. Presently I am holding on with my faith and believe that with god I will find the way.

.

I have started clearing my desk and finishing all pending task as few days from now I have to head my way out of this shell.

.
This one shall pass......

resignation aCcEpTeD wItHoUT hesitations...

And so the dum-dum boss of mine accepted my resignation without hesitations. Just imagine that scenario, the dum-dum boss read the letter then ask 1 or 2 questions and voila signed and approved. It really breaks my heart he's such a nasty and inconsiderate boss. While the rest of the team can’t believe it, for they are also expecting that at least put my resignation letter on hold, have a one on one talk, solve the issue and then decide or come up with a solution to resolve the problem. But what happened was a big twist, its degrading and I am indeed hurt with his action.
.

I have been working in the company for almost 7 years and swear to god I have been a good employee since day 1. Never did I avail for sick leave since day 1 of work so that was almost 7 years that I have not use any sick leave. And when I got sick and felt that I need to use my sick leave for at least two days, he then accused me of lying and only using my sick leave because I am resigning. That was indeed horrifying, I was totally upset upon hearing that from my colleagues who have relayed the story to me. See, I only go on leave during my scheduled annual leave which is only 30 days a year while others may have availed the 15 days sick leave plus 30 days annual leave, giving them a total of 45 days a year. I pity myself for I don’t deserve to be treated that way god knows that I have been a dedicated employee ever since I joined the company.
.

7 years of hard work and dedication has been trashed instantly by the dum-dum boss. God bless him and save him for he does not know what he’s doing.

.
Anyways, I guess I have to start the search for new opportunities.

tHe dAy...

And so this it, the most awaited day or should I say this is the day that will change part of my life... Guess what?!? Will not put you in any suspense, as planned I submitted my resignation letter this morning... It’s the twist of what I am expecting and it disappoints me...

As you know the new boss is a devil, he doesn’t have the heart and he doesn’t show any trace of concern.... He’s not even shock about it, as if he’s been waiting for that letter to come. The dum-dum boss of mine never did bother neither ask me further about my sudden decision while the rest of the team was stunned and kept on asking me if the news about my resignation is true...

Let me get back to you later and will do elaborate more as somebody is standing in front of me and asking for office supplies.

Oct.03.2010

Wishing that days will ran fast, I’m looking forward to 3rd October. Y? Well, let me leave you puzzled and will only divulge it on that day, excited?!? And so am I... Something unexpected will happen on that day and I’m sure most people will be surprise but what the heck. I know this will make me happy though I’m sure in some point I will be sad... This is one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever made, just imagine the countless sleepless nights which made me realize that I need some eye cream to lighten dark circles on my eyes.

So hang in there and watch out for my big announcement...

bReAtHeR...

Need some air, this work place really suffocates me, what’s more irritating is the rotten attitude of the new boss... He sucks, gheeshhhh, I can’t say more...oh god please give more patience, I badly need that until 3rd October ;(... Well, my plans are starting to ease up, I mean it’s beginning to be concrete. I haven’t told anybody yet but I know they will understand my decision because I am sure they can relate with what I feel right now...

For now all I need is some breather, maybe will do some jewellery shopping later....

iT's NoT eAsY...

It’s too sad when it comes to the point that you feel that you have to go but you don’t want to let go... so confusing eh?!? Yep, I’m damn confused of what to do, my mind says to leave but my heart says to stay... How the hell I can manage to go if something is stopping me to do so...

Situation in the office is starting to blow out of proportion, the management wants this, the dum-dum boss says no and the story goes on. It makes work much difficult each day, added with the adjustment stage with the new boss, honestly he sucks. He really annoys me a lot, his face is to sarcastic, he has this selfish act with his tone, style and he acts as if he’s a king... duh, your just one crappy second rate trying hard diggie dog... Sorry to say but I really hate him, he never appreciate things and treat you like a servant. He is not right in the position for I believe that bosses do have a heart while he doesn’t.
.

Few days from I have to make my plans concrete, I don’t know if it will do well but I believe it could be the best. So dear friends, please pray for me and hope that I will come up with the right decision.
.

Off to the mall, will catch up with you guys later...
.

tHiS iS iT...

Yep, you read it right!!! This is it, now I am confused, should I stay or should I go?!? As what I said few days back the new boss and I will not click, and so it happened. We did not click and will never ever click period. He's really hard to handle as if his always having a bad day, his smile annoys me and he's sarcastic specially the way he talks. So can somebody tell me how to deal with this dum-dum man, believe me he's one hellah devil....

To contrary, I still believe that things do happen for a reason and I hope that something good will happen in return. Let's see what will happen next, will things get worst of worst than ever... So pray for me guys for me to survive this weak phase....

Bye for now, it's tea time... ciao!

hE jOiNeD...

It's official, today the new boss joined our Division and I'm starting to feel the friction. He seems not friendly neither approachable. Honestly, I am not against his transfer, well given the fact that I/we don't have the right to choose but I have this ill gotten feeling that we will not click together. Given the benefit of the doubt, I trust that things will flow smoothly and he will not strike me personally.

If you are a follower of this blog, you are then aware that I am close to my former boss. He is not only a boss but also a father/brother/friend to me. I guess, a perfect tandem I may say, as we're able to work harmoniuosly though I can not deny the fact that there was a point in our working relationship that we had our own share of angst and misunderstang. Nevertheless, I will surely miss working with him....

To my former boss, goodluck and may you find peace in your new job post, 'til the time we can work again... Insha'allah!!!!

chaos....

It's been chaotic at work this past few days and I hate it. People are starting to act weird and it really annoys me. They seems to be confused and out of their own senses, as if they are hiding something or afraid of someone. Hmmm, i smell something odd will be happening anytime soon, I hope I am wrong. I can feel negativity or I am just paranoid?!? Oh well, whatever it is, I'm keeping my faith for I know that god has his plans.

bOtHeReD...

Now I am left undecided. After receiving the unexpected news yesterday, now it's my turn to decide. Just now, the boss approached me and has asked me what my plans are after I heard about the sad news about his transfer. I have options A, B and if worst come to worst I have plan C, though I am not yet ready to disclose those plans maybe in a day or two but maximum to in a week.

I have talked this out with my husband who is very understanding and supportive on whatever step or decision I have to take. When I am down he always makes me feel lighter and counting to every advice he gives which I believe is sensible. I am grateful to be blessed with a husband to count on during stormy days. There are lots of considerations I have to lay before giving my final say. I pray and ask for god's guidance.

With open arms I will accept whatever god had planned for me.

I believe that all will be set and done in god's will.

uNeXpEcTeD...

An unpleasant surprise came this very day which turn the bright sunny day into glooms day. It's sad news to hear that your boss for almost 7 long years will be transferred to another division. I may sound lunatic but let me speak the truth that despite of our differences both nationality and culture we were able to jive even though it's never been perfect. The fact that we have almost mastered each flaws, may it be good or bad mood, may it be serious or joke/prank, may it be official or non-sense gugu things, etc. Of course there will be misunderstanding or disagreement but its part of learning from each other. Honestly I will surely miss those, even though in past we had this huge war which eventually been settled naturally. It rarely comes to our lives that our boss turns to be a friend who defends you whenever he feels that you're being trapped in between and he does save you in deep shit and to quote that he treats as his little sister.

A week from now he'll be leaving us, I know that it will not be easy for everybody but as the old cliché goes "nothing is permanent in this world except change". We all have to move on and think that things will be for the better. But surely things will be totally different, a full 360 degree turn and in a week's time our world will turn upside down. I have these mixed emotions, happy, sad, mad, hurt, bothered, depressed, and worried while the list goes on. We're all at lost, thinking of what's the reason behind why it happen all of sudden but one thing is definite it's god's plan.

I will not only miss a boss but a good friend and elder brother as well. We're hoping that this is not the end, for I hate goodbyes. Today, you'll see me smiling coz it hasn't sink in yet that he'll be leaving anytime soon. But behind this smile is a crying face, yes I admit, I did cry. Because I know that things will never be the same again.

Wendy's in UAE...

Awesome.....

Now, I can have frosty anytime i want...

Tempting treat once in a while....

uPdAtEs...

Oh well, it's been awhile since my last entry. I'm not neglecting my blog coz I will never be, it's just that I am caught up with some other thingies --- Enough for those excuses…

.

It's already half way of year 2010 and yet we are way too far from our target… Nevertheless, we are still hopeful to at least accomplish half of our list before the year ends… By the way, got my first article published in our internal magazine… I know it's not a big deal but it feels great to contribute something though it's not that really grand…

.

Here's my magazine post…

On the other hand, the most awaited DSS has already started so it means it's time for my favorite exercise --- SHOPPING!!! Most of the stores are now on sale, a good chance to grab good deals better yet the best time to buy pasalubongs ... What I hate during DSS is that I always end up buying in excess of what is required… My sole reason --- it's on sale so better grab it, imagine the savings that I will get out of those discounts---… At least my husband does understand my itchiness when it comes to shopping. Take note, he never says NO neither complains whenever I have to drag him to malls and make him wait for ages… He's now used to it and as what he always says what makes me happy makes him happier… Isn't he the sweetest? Lucky me….

Hmmmm, this reminds me to start clearing my closet and make space to new stuffs… awwww……

So I guess you better wish me luck coz for sure we'll be broke by the end of this month --- PEACE hon!!! Have to start to budget my savings as I promise to try tightening my loosen pocket…

nOt In ThE mOoD...

No it's not me, its big B, seems like the world fall on him… His aura is like a jigsaw puzzle, he really looks seriously bothered… I'm so puzzled with what's up with him, would it be about work or family or it's purely mood swing… Well, whatever it is hope he can manage to sort it out!!!

cHaRrIoL...

I really wanted a silver set accessories. It took me sometime to check and decide what's the best... Given that there''s plenty of options to choose from...

Voila, got what i really wanted and I'm lovin'it!

My Charriol set... lemme add it to my favorites!

cHaNeL...

Got my first Chanel bag...

HAPPINESSSSSS :-)

Immature at the age of late twenty's...

I know somebody who happens to be a relative of mine who act as if he's a teen while he's married and have kids… Just when I thought that once you became a parent, maturity comes automatically but I guess I was proven wrong… Raising a family is not a sign neither a guarantee of maturity it's the experience that counts and considering how your parents had raised you… It is very obvious in his acts that he doesn't think first before acting or saying something… He even gives freaking excuses rather than being sorry of what wrongful he did… How I hope he would grow up for the sake of his kids…

I may not be that mature but at least I am trying to be at level of my age… Remember, life is a work in progress…

sMoOtHiE...

I am not referring to any kind of food neither a drink, oh well it's all about work. Things seem to look better now than before. The atmosphere is relatively smoothie and I am starting to love it.
I just hope that it will never stop from there rather it will be even better in the long run.

Fingers crossed!

Our First house ----- hoping and wishing for the next!

.

It was a last minute decision when we both agreed to have our house blessed...

Before we flew to Bangkok and with the help of my ever reliable and supportive inlaws (kuya & ate) they booked the priest and the caterer (Queensland) for the event...

Our time is too short to prepare such as we have plans booked ahead of it...

Luckily, things simply fall into place and it turned out to be an instant family affair and a sort of send off party as we are scheduled to fly back to dubai 2 days after... We're both glad that we did it...

.

House blessing held on 18th of January 2010 @ Parañaque, Phils.

oUr HuMbLe NoOk...

Our plans are slowly getting into place, thank GOD for that!
