Life Sentence for Animal Cruelty

This photo is perfect! Thanks Pinterest !
I’ve had an article before about animal cruelty and this is about three girls doing torturing a month old puppy to death and early today I found in the news that the mastermind in this animal crime has found to be guilty and convicted with life sentence plus P9M fine.

It was found that the three girls in the video are all underage and are just subject to crime as well. These 2 syndicate are running the business who torture animals because of some fetishly-satisfaction-kinda thing to foreigners mostly from western countries and I never really imagined that there are people who would even pay and see and get satisfaction on seeing animals to die and not just to die but to die from torture - how heartless. Sigh.

Well at least, justice was given to that poor dog who never did any harm to them. Who may just want to have some caring and is willing to show unconditional love and I know that this sentence is just right for these heartless people who will disregard the value of life just for their own pleasures and advantages.


I am hoping that animal cruelty would be stopped. I am hoping that people will always be empathetic even to these non-human creatures. Let us always prove to everyone that we deserve to be called human. If we cannot help them, at least do not hurt them. There is nothing wrong on sharing some love.

Missed Opportunities

thanks for the photo Road Traffic Signs
If I can share one best lesson in life? I believe that is to "keep right!" it is simple but for me there's a lot of meaning behind those two words. I believe that in any instance we have to stick on doing what is correct and somehow it'll lead us to regretless future.

Maybe some of you have read my article Pressured where I have had some struggle last month on maintaining my metrics and I have became one of the bottom performers for my new position and to tell you honestly because of that instance there are a lot of windows closed for me to move up.

I have been dreaming that it is my time to step up into different and higher position. I believed that I am now ready to fill-in the position and I am fit in for having the responsibility however due to my poor performance last month I was not qualified to move. I regret. If only that did not happened. I told myself.

However that did not stop me. Maybe it's just not for me yet and maybe I'm rushing things again and again. I know that I am very much deserving for what I am right now and I know that I need more time to be called deserving before I move up. 

I come up with some game plan and so far so good and just as long as i will 'keep right' then everything would be okay, at the right time. So let us not give up.

The Social Life of being a Single


It is my Rest Day today. Well actually, it has been my rest day since yesterday and this has been my dream rest days as I'm gonna be having Friday and Saturday to marry the night however I am just at home 'till now. 

I used to have my Fridays and Saturdays a wild and fun one the last few years however that is when all of my friends were single however I am the one left and they're all with their happy love life... yeah right!?

thanks for the photo stuff thats relevant
I am very happy for them of course. Especially that I know they're in good hands and it seems like their partners are seriously in love with them, I understand that their time will be limited for me, I just didn't expect that the seldom chances of getting together would be near ti 'never'. 

So, they pushed me on blind dating because they say 'they wanted me to be happy as well' and that 'I deserve a love life too' well, if I know, they're only saying that so that I'm not gonna torment them going out with me without their partners haha

Okay, so I did. They set up dates for me for almost every other week. However none of them works. I know that I have to adjust as people do have different personality. I've been in the industry where I have to please and understand every people however none of these dates fit me and so I decided to stop and realize that maybe it is really not for me... yet. Maybe, i have to be alone so I could spend time with myself and my family as well. 

and i am still gonna torment my friends to hang out with me and tell some lies to their partners so they'll allow them too. that's what friends are for anyways hahahahah (evil laugh)

Pressured!


picture from Bundle Star
I just became so busy lately because (as what stated on my previous blog entry) I got Promoted yey! However aside from the added task and responsibilities are the additional metrics that I or we have to meet to stay in the position. 

Well, my first month went so well and I am being recognized and commended by my bosses and tables were turned on the second month... my second month seems to be the most critical month for me since my team started so slow and I am not there to lift them up because I have to fulfill my other duties and since I am in the middle of two different task now my scores went down. In the last 9 months, this will be the first time I wasn't able to meet the goal and that makes me the weakest among the other supervisors in the office and that makes me so f*ckin down. 

I am a type of person who is always doing my best to be on top because I am a competitive type and it seems like my efforts are not being paid right and I believed I did my best than what I am doing before wherein I am consistently hitting the requirements that makes me be appointed to the position and I don't know what is happening now and it seems like August is not a good month for me.

Now, the pressure is on since I'll be on hot seat and this September I have to meet every part of our metrics and I have to come up with a nice game plan. I shouldn't relax and so a big pressure is on me.

Sigh. I am praying for the success of my plans or else I am dead.

Promoted!

Nice Illustration from Business Women Rising
I am not so certain if I was able to share the news but I would like everybody to know that I was promoted just last June 2014 and it feels so great!

I was actually been picked, selected and appointed by my new boss, my previous boss and the management to fill out the position and I feel so proud about it because finally somebody has seen my potential and my hard works are being paid off.

It is not that easy at first as I have to deal with different type of people and socialize and adjust for them as well but I can sense it fun at the same time as I am having a lot of friends.

It is not that easy because I have to prove to them that I am fit enough to support them but at  the same time it practices my credibility.

It is not that easy because it can saddens me if my team is doing poorly but on the other hand it challenge me to look for something that would help 

It is not that easy because there's a lot of eyes focus on me but at least I can let them see how great I am (am I so arrogant? haha nah! that is just me pushing myself)

But still, my biggest challenge is BEING ON TIME!!! lolz

I am thriving to work hard, I am assuming a new post in 6 months. Never say NEVER!!!

The Lost Dog


photo from the site import atlanta 
It was a rainy evening when I am currently sleeping as It'll be my first night shift for the week when somebody hits the doorbell and no one from our household is responding or looking who it was and I forced myself to woke up to entertain that person in our gate only to find out that I was alone. So I hurriedly went to the door, I know that that person is waiting for so long and it is raining so they might get cold.

The girl is our neighbor and she is carrying a dog and the breed of the dog is similar to my kids: shih tzu it is just whiter and not that printed.

"Nakawala po yung aso niyo" (Your dog got lost) The girl said "Nakita ko po sya pagala-gala" (I saw her roaming around)

I was speechless at first, I know that the dog isn't mine. But the girl is already handing the dog towards me and I grabbed it and say

"Salamat! Buti nalang binalik mo! Salamat talaga!!!" (Thank you, I am so thankful you returned her, Thank you so much!" as if the dog is mine.

and so we (me and the dog) went inside the house after waiving goodbye to the good samaritan-neighbor girl

My sleepiness was gone after and I am just looking at that dog who keeps on following me wherever I'll go. My kids are just looking at her, I am so happy that they're being kind to some visitor but as I wait for my sister to arrive and to decide what to do with the found dog I just suddenly think why did I pretend that the dog is mine?

Busy Lately

photo from smalltownpastorandlovingit
I'm so sorry that I was not able to catch up lately as I became so busy..

I thought that after my final defense my days would be easier but it's not. It became more intense as I have to do a lot of revisions with my thesis before it'll be submitted and publicized. There's a lot of things to do with that alone and it stresses me both with knowledge for doing the thesis and my pocket for making it possible and why on earth thesis are so expense-full?

So I am still working on it and I am hoping to finish that sooner so I could sleep at night peacefully.

plus.. some good news. I got promoted at work. I never applied for it, I was just appointed and so there are lots of adjustments that I have to do especially with the new workloads, bosses and environment that I have to deal with so please forgive me if I am not being that active... but please constantly monitor the blog still.. I will always find time to share my precious stories and experience with you all

My Thesis is Over


Taken after the Final Defense
Yeah. At last! My thesis is done and fortunately I was able to get through that very intense final defense and I still can't believe that I now earned another degree, that I am now, Andrew S. Zerrudo RN, MAN.

I've been targeting April as my defense date however my study is not that easy and it requires almost two months just to work on the data I gathered. I was told that my tentative date for defense would be May 28, 2014 and that was Thursday but when that was said to me I am still not prepared. My documents are still hanging and I haven't produced my copies yet however luckily, it was moved after a week.

2 days before my defense date when I decided to dropped by to school and it is a good timing as the dean secretary asked me to go to the chairman of the panel to give him the copy of my thesis as she can't afford to do it due to medical issues. I hurriedly went there, I traveled an hour away from the school and luckily, the professor still accepts it though there are some lectures given to me (if you know what I mean).

June 5, 2014, Thursday at 2:00 in the afternoon came in, it is my defense date. I was there 30 minutes earlier though I came from work and as I approached the room, my heart keeps on pounding... I keep on saying that I am ready for that defense and I am pretty confident that I'll pass it but there is this feeling that makes me tense, a feeling like you are thirsty every single moment.

One of the panel, my college dean arrived and followed by my adviser asking me how am I feeling and I just said..

"I can't explain how I exactly I am feeling right now"

and they entertain me with their professional experiences afterwards, I know they are doing this to make me stay calm.

and then, I was called to enter the room and set up the tools for my presentation and they're all so serious inside and before I said that I am ready, I drank a glass of water first... but still, the feeling of thirst still there.

On a Long Vacation...


Nasugbu, Batangas last May 2011
I have written on my previous blog I Filed my Resignation that my last day in the office would be April 28, 2014 hence I am still in the company up until now. 

It is not that I retracted my resignation but the effectivity of my resignation has been requested to be extended after my boss talked to me. It has been a long and very mind-bugging-talk. It is two weeks after when my boss talked to me if I am still pursuing my resignation and yeah! It does not sounds good to me when he asked that but during the talk I certainly realize that he is now offering me few things that will make me stay and I always answer back by saying "I'll think of it" and it is my answer whenever he tried to convince me and to tell you honestly, I still cannot decide. there are times when I am decided to retract my resignation because my friends are convincing me and I am starting to love the job again but 

"Tell me, what makes you think of not staying?" my boss asked

"It is always hard to please this company, remember when my one day leave request has been denied? It makes me stop and think to pursue my resignation. I know that I have the eligibility to have that leave granted but then, they declined it and so why shall I stay to a company who does not recognize my worth?" I told him

"Our manager is offering you a long leave of absences.. one week, two weeks it depends on you. We wanted you to think and unwind. I know that you might be just stressed. Just come back whenever you are ready an if you didn't come back then it only means you resign" he says

"I was asking for a vacation for my birthday before and they decline it without looking on my reasons and eligibilities and now they are offering me this vacation... I am so speechless" I told him sarcastically. I am lucky enough to have a supervisor like him where you can talk to him as casual as this.

"I definitely understand how you feel" his empathetic words plus he sight all my good deeds "But it won't hurt for you to take it, just think and rest. I know it'll help" he convinced me.

and so I took it. It started my vacation last Sunday, May 11 and yet I still don't know the date when I'll be back at work or if I am going back. I am now spending my time to rest, have a peace of mind, spend more quality time at home and work on my thesis as well. 

I hope that a sign will come up soon that'll make me decide. I know that my heart is telling me not to leave as it'll miss the friends I have build in this institution for the past two years however my mind is telling me to go as I need to stop torturing myself. Hence, I need mutual decision from these two. #Ambivalent

Is this a Sign??

I just found this on gthe wall of one of my facebook friends. I know that this is not proven true however I just decided to try.

As the direction has said: the first three words you'll see mean something in your 2014.


I was so happy with the first three words I found and so I wanted to share that in here lol

MONEY. It is the first word I've seen and I have been praying for that for so long and so I am having my faith in this quiz haha

INTELLIGENCE was the second word I have found and I know that I need this especially in these coming days as I need wisdom and I have to critically think of all my decisions

and what makes me happier with the result is when I found

LOVE. and that what makes me happy. I will find love and it makes me want to believe in this quiz.

Haha.. XOXO

The AWKWARDNESS After I Rendered My Resignation


It is a day before my rest day when I submitted this piece of paper to my boss telling that I wanted to leave in 30 days and it is then followed by 4 days of rest days. During those days that I am out of office I have received a lot of message what came up to me to make those decisions and in fact one of my friend talked to me about it and gave me some piece of advice if I have to go or not to and the ambivalence occurs after but then, the rest days are gone and it's now back at work but I am still decided about pursuing that decision.

I was not late this time. I came in early but I am not that excited unlike before and as I came in a lot of friends in the office came in and trying to confirm if what they've heard is correct or I am just giving them a good joke for the April's fools day. But I said I am serious and I have the papers ready and signed.

thanks for the photo willtravellife

Yes it is! because I am still doing my job patiently, perfectly and with quality. I am about to leave but I found myself doing my best with my last few days.

Yes it is awkward as I am working with my best and true friends who are one of the reason why it makes me so hard to leave but I just cannot hold on.

Yes it is very awkward because there is my boss and we are not even talking and looking at each other. I feel ashamed. there is this one time that I have to talk to him because I need to be absent on a certain date but it takes a lot of try for me to approach him and when I do there is a beat in my heart and I feel so kind talking to him wherein I used to be very casual.

it is now not comfortable to move after I rendered my resignation because I know that if I do too much it'll be harder for me to say goodbye if I can only hold on I tell myself. However, my performance continuously soaring (not bragging) and I decided that before I leave I wanted to leave them in a right way that I left them with good scores and not with problems.

as of today, I am still decided to go. I think that is still the right decision.

Yo' Shawty! It's my Birthday!!

forgive me with my selfies IG: drew_slut06

April 3 was actually my Birthday and it's not that exciting like my previous ones as my petition of a one (1) week vacation leave was denied and as they say it is because of my previous week leaves as well and that it is becoming a habit and they never granted it though it is  for my special day and so I am being sadder as the day is coming and this is actually what triggers me to render my resignation.

My shift that day is at 12 am and so if I'll come to office it'll be my birthday. I dressed so well that night and have my smile on my face as I started the shift but nobody seems to know. NOBODY in the office is even GREETING ME!! even my boss who has my profile! I am even telling them "Are you free later for breakfast???" or "Let's drink!!" but they used to snob me I just thought that they might surprise me with something but there are only few who greeted me and they're not even part of my team. Damn, I am starting to sulk. and so the shift ends we all walked home together and still they don't have any plans. Until one of them checked their FB and found out

"Oh My God! Drew!! Happy Birthday!!" she said and they all greeted me but the thing is they really don't know that it is my Birthday. I don't know if I'll feel happy or still feel sulk that time. I know that I am so emotional because I am supposed to be somewhere and now my friends doesn't know it is my special day. 

Anyway, they all pay back the shift after but as I said. "It's not my Birthday na! It's already April 4" haha and there are some gifts and kiss and hugs etc plus the food prepared by my sister for me I can say that it is still a happy birthday. 

I may not have a perfect birthday this year unlike last year wherein I celebrated it in BORACAY huhu but I am still thankful that I was given another year to live and notice real people who treasures me as well. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me and to all who is celebrating their BIRTHDAYS as well

Happy 5th Anniversary


Photo credits to shelllady

Ooohh I cannot express how happy I am that we reach this far. At first, I never thought that the blog will live just for at least a year and yet we are on our half a decade now. I would like to thank you all guys (the viewers , readers, commentators and subscribers) for all of your support and feedback, you always inspires me everyday.

I am hoping for the continuous success of the blog, more agendas and more viewers and good reviews as well.


But for now, I would like to offer my CHEERS!! Let’s celebrate this J

I Filed my Resignation



thanks for the photo telegraph
It was March 28, 2014 when I filed my resignation and believe me it is a heart breaking story. My heart keeps on pounding when I walk towards my boss and give that piece of paper and I cannot look him in the eye either. Well, if that’s what it is then why do I have to render my resignation then?
It was a day before when this small talk with my boss triggers me to do so. To tell you honestly I requested for me to leave for a week to celebrate my birthday (which will be next week). I requested for it a month ago and I indicated all the reasons why I wanted to leave that long: of course I indicated in there that I wanted to spend my special day with me and my family in a vacation.

I believe that I deserve that treat because aside for the fact that it is my day is that I am giving outstanding customer satisfaction (not that I am bragging but it is true) I am being so consistent lately and so I really think I deserve that reward.

I always appreciate that this company has been so considerate of me before especially for my family and studies matters. However I indicated to my request that the vacation will be so important for me and still they declined it I feel not so valued for my worth.

The reason why I became ambivalent of giving my resignation is (1) I am thinking that I am maybe just mad and I don’t want to make decisions if I am in that state (2) my clients. Believe it or not but I love talking to them (not to the irate ones) and I am having such fulfillment if I satisfy them with my best service (3) my boss/supervisor. He means a lot to me and I owe him a lot and of course (4) my friends. They inspire me to go to work every single day.

But at this time, I cannot take it anymore. There are a lot of pressure lately and yet I am still exceeding their expectations but with just one request they cannot give it to me


But honestly, I am still hoping that somebody will stop me from leaving. I want somebody to let me realize that what I am gonna do is wrong.. I still have a month though

The Sarcastic Hairdresser

a nice photo from yokioni

It has been my plan since last week to have my haircut done. I'm looking so dirty and it is so hard to fix my hair recently and so I hurriedly go to my usual salon and look for my hairdresser there. Yeah. I have a hairdresser, well he is not a personal hairdresser but I used to request for him since he knew what to do with my hair without explaining too much details just to get the look I like but unfortunately he is not there, so I told the manager of the company that I'll just go back a week after besides, I have a lot of things to do aside from having my haircut done. 

and so a week passed and I decided to go to this fave salon of mine and as I get there the manager suddenly approached me and said

"Sir, Wala pa po si Mark.. hindi ko alam kung anong oras sya darating. Basta ang sabi nya male-late sya" (Sir, Mark Isn't here yet. I don't know what time he'll be here. he just said that he'll be late for today)

"It's okay. Try ko muna maghintay.." (It's okay, I'll try to wait for a few moment) I told the boss. and so I started to read some magazines while waiting.

30 minutes has passed and Mark the stylist isn't there yet

"Sir..." the boss suddenly sat beside me "Ayoko naman na maghintay ka jan.. I re-recommend ko nalang yung isa namin stylist. Magaling to at madaling maka gets ng style na gusto ng customer" (I don't wanty to keep you waiting. I wanted to recommend one of our stylist. He's good and he could easily figure out style that our customers wanted without too much details" he offered

Well, since I have been waiting for so long and it seems like Mark wouldn't be there any sooner. I grabbed it and said "Sure, let's try"

When I got Insecure


photo from karyoberbrunner
I was once the most remarkable part of our team. I am always being commended for my potential and my fast abilities to step up because of my capabilities and I am not just making stories here or just trying to praise myself but it is true and I just want you to know the entire thing as I started this story.

There is this once instance that due to those flowery words I expected that I'll be selected to one of those employees candidate for promotion and due to some mistake I did I got disqualified and because of that I got demotivated and takes some moments for me to cope up and regain myself again. Our team has been consistent on being a top performer and of course there are lot of potentials and I can feel that there is at least a sense of competition in each one of us especially when our leader set up a bit of friendly competition in each of us for the most improved and top performer for the month of February.

I was the most improved last December and was the Top performer last January and my performance is being consistent and I am pretty sure that I'm gonna make it this time and will have that reward from the boss.  

But when the day the boss announced it. I heard the name of the winner

Last Saturday Night


photo owned by elitedaily
"Are you free! let's drink!" a facebook message sent to me by my friend last Saturday night. Well, I am actually not free that night as I'll be going to some of my friends' despedida (farewell party) as she'll be going abroad to work but knowing personalities of these friends of mine I know it'll be just simple chit-chat plus dinner and it won't hit 'til midnight so I replied "Yeah sure! 11 0'clock?" and my friend agreed. 

after the very nice dinner and chat with my college friends at the farewell party we decided to part off and one of them joined me over a cup of coffee while waiting for 11 o'clock and yet we had a serious conversation (i'll share the story some other time...) and when 11 came in, i fetch my friend and we went to our favorite place.

It was a very crowded night and we just stayed in the bartender as we shared our drinks together and there is this average-looking-guy who keeps on looking at me, well i don't seem to mind as I am not interested of him and told my girl friend that somebody is constantly looking at me and it makes me so irritated.

A Filipino in 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics

photo by sports.inquirer.net
2014 Winter Olympics is currently being held in Sochi in Russia and it started last February 7, 2013. We (Filipinos) do not mind winter Olympics as there is no winter in our country and some of us were not knowledgeable about winter sports but what makes us interesting to this year's event is when we found out that there will be a filipino (sole filipino) that'll represent the country for figure skating category.

Michael Martinez is a 17 year old filipino athlete who is doing his training in some mall in metro for figure skating was able to make it through the finals for the said event though he ended 19th among the 24th finalist but somehow he still makes the country proud of his dedication and strong will to let the world notice that filipinos also exist in such sports like this. 

being commended on his potential is enough for the country and we are still wishing this boy a good luck that somehow in the end he will achieve all his dreams. anyway here are his performance videos.

10 BEST THINGS OF MY 2013


Here I am again for the list of the best things happened for my last year and now, I wanted to come up with the greatest event of my 2013.

I admit that 2013 is not that good to me but I still thank God for giving me that year because I've learned a lot. and though it is not that good, God still created some good memories that I really appreciate and treasured.




1. Comprehensive Examination for Graduate School Student

It was last January when I took this 2 days Examination for me to be able to enter Thesis Writing scheme and after 2 weeks February 16, 2013 I luckily passed that extensive exam. I think, it was my first great news for 2013 as not all of us passed and to think that I came from work that time without any sleep taking that 8 hours a day exam and then, I still passed. Thankfully.

2. My IPhone 

I started saving some money since the year started as I am yearning to buy a new phone. My old Iphone has been with me for 3 years and I am being un-updated with trends. I am also considering this as my upcoming birthday treat. It was March 2013 when I am having second thoughts of whether to buy it or not, I am thinking of buying cheaper ones but I know that my ego will only be satisfied by the brand I have been for the past couple of years and so I tossed a coin and there it agreed so I bought an Iphone. yey!






3. Boracay Part 2


This will be one of the highlight of my 2013 as after 4 months and in my birthday week - I have returned to one of my favorite places Boracay. We were complete this time and spending more time in this paradise than before as it is a 5 days vacation and I really feel stress-free environment far from manila. this paradise really helps me forget everything.

The Uncooperative

I am still in progress for my thesis. Right now, I am in data collection phase wherein I need to talk to institutions where my data will be coming to have their permission and let my appropriate respondents answer my questionnaire or survey tool.

thanks for the photo myenglishimages
My study is actually Job Satisfaction of Nurses in whatever field so that'll be both hospital and non-hospitals. I have no problem getting my respondents in hospitals as the administrators where so easy to please for approval to conduct my study. I am pretty sure that since I am in their field and I know they're professional enough to know the purpose of what I am doing... they just approve it and give me sort of advice and a good luck as well after.

But it is a different thing for non hospital companies as some of them disapprove my request of using their employees who will fit with my qualifications as my respondents and it is because of some reason they provided that I think not that acceptable but I do respect their decision.

but looking deeper to that I just wish that they also put themselves into my shoes. I am just a researcher and I do not mean no harm. I am hoping that they should've thought of that as this will be for the sake of my study and their approval will help me a lot. I just hope that their simple yes and a less than 5 minutes of answering my queries will not hurt. I just hope that they also realize that this is a study and their contribution is necessary and is meaningful. But then, their decision were all final and is irreversible and I understand that they have their own reasoning and I just hope that it is valid whatever it is.

Now, since I am a bit OC (obsessive - compulsive) for me my study is now getting unrealistic as the appropriate numbers of respondents were not collated. I just hope that my panel of experts will still approve my study and will let me pass. so a big GOODLUCK to me

The RARE Good Samaritan

Not the real photo but thanks to globalsherpa for this

This particular article isn't my story. This is a story of one of my closest friend that after hearing I can't help but commend the person who's happen to be the subject of this article.

It all started when a friend of mine (let us call her Debbie) is about to go to work and since it will more than half an hour from her area to our workplace she decided to take a nap. She used to do that but this time it is barely different. Because as she takes off the cab/van she doesn't even know that her pouch where she places her phone and important ID's accidentally was left.

She only notices it when she was at our workplace and she double checked her bag as well, she is getting late but she still can't find her pouch (obviously, because she left it) and unfortunately her phone is actually one of the latest and coziest which is Sony Xperia Z which price ranges from P30,000 - P35,000 and it is not easy for our level (newbies, apprentices, beginners etc) to have that luxury and it really rattles her. I offered her my phone to call her phone and luckily after several rang a woman answered the call and another lucky thing is that she agreed to meet the day after to return the phone "don't worry I will return your phone, just stay calm for now, I know that you might be anxious but relax you'll have your phone back tomorrow. I just have to rest for now" the girl said of course in Filipino.

But of course I cannot blame Debbie if she is still anxious and can't relax because I know how to feel if I am losing one of the valuable things I have, I know that it takes a lot of money and time she needs to save to buy that kind of rare luxury.

"Are you still coming to work?" I asked. "Can you still concentrate?" because we all know how stressful our work is. We are dealing on solving problems, now I have thought that how could my friend resolve somebody's problem if she is having a problem in the first place. She needs to bring up herself at least.

My New Years Resolution


I know that most of us have new years resolutions and I actually wonder why do I have mine now. In the past years I never seem to mind to list all the things I am looking for, I just prayed to become a better person each year but now I just come up with these things and/or list I wanted to happen this 2014 and It could be because I was not able to pay more attention to it last 2013.

I wanted to share this to everybody thus, I'll be having a reference next year if I will be able to accomplish even just one of these things.

1. DIET

It is indeed the number 1 resolution of people but mine is a bit different. The DIET I am pertaining to means I wanted to gain more weight. 10-15 lbs perhaps. I've been ill recently and it really changes my appearance, it loses a lot of my weight and I just wanted to retrieve my usual-normal-weight-and-appearance-figure.

2. SELF - DISCIPLINE

I've been bad this year and I need to gain my discipline back. I decided to be a better person this coming years so I would be able not to regret things in time.

5. SAVE MORE, SPEND LESS

I never saved anything last 2013. I've been so careless and spent a lot to a lot of things that is not actually needed. I am planning to save more and spend wisely this year and I bet this will be my greatest challenge.







Now, i have shared all the 5 things I am planning to achieve this year. You are now all witnesses if I will be able to achieve this or just even one of these things by 2015 or perhaps as year goes.

Happy New Year!!

Unlike last year where I am tasked to go to work for this special occasion (though I wasn't able to) this time i was given the privilege to stay at home and enjoy celebrating the new year with my family especially my sister and my 4 kids: mumay, jumbo, amethyst and the fierce ruby.

Unfortunately, I was sick and I never enjoyed celebrating new year but still when the midnight came. I celebrate it with my wishes: I am hoping that this year will be kind to me. Year of the snake isn't that kind to me: I thought I was stung by my own year but I know that I don't have any reas
on to give up there are a lot of new year like this to come and to begin with.

I have a lot of plans this year and I am hoping for them to be accomplished accordingly and as planned as I am not getting younger anymore.

I am also hoping for you folks to have a good new year. If 2013 has not been good to you then forget it. There is no way we can do in this life but move.

I am now wishing you a Happy, Blessed and Prosperous New Year! Cheers! bleh
