Let's be positive!

We never notice how we sometimes become negative about how we view our lives especially when we're bombarded with frustrating situations.

How about thinking happy thoughts for a change?

When you're feeling blue, try to think of memories that will make you smile. Perhaps a favorite song or a funny movie will do you good.

It works for me. Positive thinking invites positive outcomes. Let it happen!

Try it :)

Surprise Bday Party

It was my 30th birthday party, and I wasn't expecting anything special to happen. But my siblings surprised me with a birthday party at Mcdonalds. It was fun!







Thanks everyone! :)

Loopie

Loopie passed away this morning at around 11:30 am. She's been sickly for the past few weeks but is slowly recovering. I was so shocked by the news that she died. It was so sudden. I couldn't stop crying. Para kong namatayan ng tao. I also feel guilty because I didn't get to say goodbye to her this morning before I left for work, which I usually do. I always say bye Loopie! Now there's no dog to say goodbye to in the morning as I open the gate :( :(:( Now I only have Mark and Chin2. I hope they'll stay healthy.

It's not unusual that some dogs die of heart attack. I think that's what killed her :( hay...



We're all gonna miss you Loopieta Peneloopie Guadaloopie Martinez! love you!

Brownout

Brownout naman ngayon!

Our town is suffering once more. This time from power outage because the transformer in a power plant somewhere in Taytay caught fire for whatever reason.

Rotating blackouts is being observed now in our town. After typhoons, brownout naman ang problema...hay!

What's happening to us?

I'm trying to be optimistic about it. Now I get to appreciate even more the comfort the electricity brings in our lives. Pero sana they'll be able to fix it na...

Garbage galore!

I wonder where all the accumulated garbage from typhoon Ondoy will be disposed?

Supposing that a single household who suffered from floods will have an average of 5-10 large garbage bags for disposal, where the hell are we gonna put them all? And how many trips should a garbage truck make to collect the trash of all residents in a subdivision or barangay?

And as I'm writing this, another typhoon "Pepeng" is already wreaking havoc in Pinas :( I hope it's not gonna be as bad as Ondoy even if they say that Pepeng has a high chance of becoming a super typhoon.



Let's continue to pray for the best :) God is good :)

Ondoy

Typhoon 'Ondoy' left a lot of Filipinos homeless. Rizal, our hometown, was one of the places that was severely hit by Ondoy. My family was very fortunate to have been spared of the flood (we live in Taytay) but we're sad for our neighboring town, Cainta and Marikina who suffered severely. Some relatives experienced floods and damaged most of their possessions:( Many colleagues from work also suffered a lot and are slowly trying to put everything back together with the help of family, friends, and co-workers.

We've heard and seen on tv how the typhoon hit us. I was speechless... I don't know what to say... You can only sympathize with the people affected but you'll never know how they really felt at the time when they were struggling to save not just their possessions but most importantly their own lives and the lives of their loved ones...

It made me realize (more sincerely) that everything we have, even our lives, are just TEMPORARY. And we have no hold of what's to happen to us.



We ignore and waste food, water, and other basic necessities like we're never gonna run out of it. And we'll only realize their importance when we have little or almost nothing left of it. To live for a day or two with no electricity leaves us helpless and paralyzed. Sometimes, we really have to learn our lesson the hard way :(

But Filipinos never lose hope. We know that we'll survive this. Let's keep on praying that everything's gonna be okay. God will provide :)

A hole in my heart

I need an inspiration and motivation ASAP!

I'm on emo mode since last week. I was thinking to myself, what am I living for? Corny man, feel na feel kong magpaka-emo. I just feel that I've been going through the motions of living without a purpose and enthusiasm.

But then again, I always tell myself that it's okay to feel this way sometimes but not careeran :) I feel that it's a phase where you get to reflect on the things you've done, supposed to have done or regret doing, and make it an excuse if not an inspiration to do better in the days ahead.

I'm just hoping for a little sunshine to keep me going...
