i lost my wallet

Aaaaargh! Super bad trip!

I was at Ayala MRT station around 7:20pm...usual crowded station since it's rush hour. I hate myself for being not so vigilant. I usually am. Aaaargh! I was already on the escalator going down when I noticed that my bag has a big slash already and my wallet is gone. Darn it! I panicked a little...didn't know what to do...my knees became a bit weak. I had to pause for awhile at the side to compose myself. I knew I'm not getting my wallet back ever! haaaaaaaay! I called my sweetie first to tell him what happened. And for some reason, I had the urge to report it to the policeman at the entrance even if I know he can't do anything about it. Oh well. It was a good thing I still had some coins in my pocket enough to get me home.

I'm sooo hating this feeling. I'm usually vigilant and would usually consider myself street smart but after this incident I hated myself so much. I know what to do on crowded places yet at that moment I didn't do what I know I was supposed to do. Aaaaargh! I hate feeling stupid!

I just withdrawn 5k to pay for my credit card. Darn it! Swerte naman nya. Haaaaay! Super hassle lang to block my credit card and atms. I lost all my identification cards! Grrrrrr! What's worse is that the key to our house is in my wallet and I have IDs which has my address there. Now we have to replace our door lock! Haaaaay! Super hassle talaga! Oh, my starbucks card is there also - 2 stickers na lang, planner na sana (oh well..buti na lang hindi masyado maganda yung planner, di ako masyado nanghinayang). That wallet also had one of my sweetie's love letters inside. *sigh*

Oh well. Ang hirap talaga pag magpapasko na! Ang dme mandurukot! Kaya kayo, be extra careful!

I already had all my cards blocked. Super hasssssssssle!

Haaaaaay....I hope I get over this soon.

Life goes on... gotta move forward...

no more weddings...

My sweetie wants me to stop accepting wedding coordination stints so I can just focus on other means of earning money which aren't too time and energy consuming (like blogging). He knows that there are a lot of things that I want to do. He has always been supportive and lets me explore and lets me do stuff that I want to do. Atleast he has let me experience being a wedding planner. That's a dream come true already.

Money from wedding coordination isn't really much (but of course the happiness and feeling of being able to help others is priceless). Of course I cannot charge high yet since I've only been doing this for a little of over a year and it's not even regular. It's not easy being a wedding planner since you deal with a lot of suppliers (around 15 suppliers on the average). Brides can attest how hard it is to plan for a wedding. Imagine planning 3-5 weddings in a year! And each couple have their own quirks and requests that you have to consider. It can really get pretty crazy at times. But I have never had any regrets. It's always worth it for me. At the end of every event, I feel a sense of pride and happiness that I was able to contribute significantly to other people's lives. At some point, I was able to deduce that probably my goal in life is to be a blessing to other people. Helping a couple prepare for a very momentous event in their lives is such an honor.

But I guess it's the case of not-because-you-can-means-you-should. I have to be practical and streamline my modes of earning. For around a year and a half, blogging has become my bread and butter. I think if I focus more on it and really exert more effort, I can still significantly increase my earnings. It's really a great opportunity since you can stay at home and still earn. You don't have any time schedule that you have to abide to (except probably posting deadlines). But you can basically do your blog posts in your jammies. Finish them and post them then go back to sleep.

If only I can put up more blogs, post more regularly, and take advantage of other online opportunities, I would be able to increase my monthly earnings. This would be more possible if my attention is not divided. I guess this is what's my sweetie is pointing out. He has seen how hard I work for my wedding planning stints which can spread out in a year per wedding. Earnings I get from that, I can easily earn in less than a month (sometimes even in less than a week) if I get to maintain more blogs.

Anyway, another reason why he probably wants me to stop my wedding coordination stint is probably because he wants me to focus on our own preps. With limited budget, it is going to be quite a challenge to plan for our own wedding.

Oh well...I would just have to finish my last wedding on January and that's it.

A friend recently asked me if I can do her wedding for next December... I already turned her down...

Capella

It would certainly be a unique experience to take some online college courses. If you are interested, I suggest that you visit Capella University’s website to know more about the programs. You can search by degree of by profession. It would be much easier to enroll in this online university than to physically go to a real school. You can easily fit studying in your busy schedule even if you are working. With their pursuit towards academic excellence, students would surely learn a lot from this school. You might probably be yearning to get an MBA but was too busy to do so. Now you can take advantage of getting on an online university so you wouldn’t have to quit your job while taking further studies.

andok's

If you’re looking for a tipid place, I suggest you eat at Andok’s. The one at Trinoma is usually a bit full with people drinking beer al fresco. I recently had dinner there and ordered their bbq meal (Php51) which already includes 2 pieces of bbq and 1 cup of rice. I ordered 4-pc siomai (Php29) as well so that’s only a total of Php80!!! That’s a pretty good deal if you ask me.

fun date

My sweetie and I celebrated out last monthsary at Star City. We have been thinking of alternative ways to spend our monthsary since we’re tired of the typical dinner date. It was really fun actually since we got to experience snow and slide on ice. We also won this cute gorilla at one of those games. It was indeed a night of fun. I look forward to more fun dates like that.

caregivers

Have you noticed that there are a lot of people who are taking nursing or health care related courses? I guess there’s really a big demand of it abroad. There are nursing homes but there are also companies like Fort Lauderdale Home Health Care which can provide health care personnel at the comfort of your home. I think most who get their services are for taking care of the elderly, especially those with special conditions like Alzheimer. I think it’s better for patients with those conditions to stay in their homes with their families and just have extra help from caregivers rather than putting them in nursing homes.

enjoy the season

My sweetie is amazed how I can hold up my high energy despite having only 3 hours of sleep on the average. I’ve been busy with a lot of stuff lately and I’m glad that my busy days would be almost over. I plan to enjoy the holidays really well. I intentionally blocked my days for booking so that I’m free to enjoy the Christmas season, unlike last year when I barely felt it.

cruise

Are you thinking of doing something different this christmas season? Well, you might want to check out this promo! How about taking a cruise to boracay and coron? I think that would really be cool! I just got this from my mail and thought of sharing you the information.

christmas songs

What are your favorite Christmas songs? I have a lot! I remember going caroling when I was a kid. I really enjoyed it! Those Christmas songs really compliment all the Christmas decorations around to complete the whole ambiance of the Christmas season. Just seeing decorations around and hearing those jolly Christmas songs warms your heart and somehow makes one happy. Those lively songs can easily make you smile. Hmmm… come to think of it, I still don’t have any Christmas mp3s. I should probably start downloading those free christmas songs at ez-tracks.com. That would be cool to listen to while we put up our Christmas tree later. I’m excited already!

Fentraphen

Before taking any of those diet pills make sure that you get to know first what it really is and what ingredients are used. There are a lot of reviews that you can view online as well as testimonials of users. There’s a new weight loss supplement called Fentraphen that you might want to check out. Get to know more the product by reading the reviews at sybervision.com.

on sale

There's just so many shops on sale right now. It's torture!!! Hahaha! I'm restraining myself from swiping my card again. It needs to rest! Well, some extra cash are on their way to the bank but I know there's still a big amount I need to pay my credit card company. Darn it! I really need to be smarter when it comes to shopping. But how can one resist those nice shoes and bags on SALE!!! Maybe I can just limit myself to buying just 1 pair since there are 2 weddings I'll be attending soon. That's enough justification right?

Wii!!!

I really hope my dad buys one! It's one extra reason to be happy when he arrives next week! hehehe! My mom and brother wants it too so I guess he would probably give in to our request. The Wii sports can really be a great form of exercise while having fun. I can see myself playing with it everyday! It surely is a fun way to lose weight.

medical supplies

Don’t you just love online shopping? It can indeed be quite addicting. Now, even medical supplies can just be readily be bought online. Try visiting allegromedical.com so you will see what I am talking about. You can easily browse through the products by category and you can also shop by brand. They do have a super wide variety of product lines. Imagine over 40k of products? That’s certainly a lot! You can also have free shipping if you order over $100. They really have a lot of great deals. Anyway, If you have any questions in mind that you may want to ask, you can call them at 1-800-861-3211. You might want to browse the products that they are offering. You might be surprised, but they almost have everything. Check out the site so you would know what I am talking about.

flowering plants (2)

I bought some flowering plants from Manila Seedlings, harvested the flowers and transplanted the plants on our front yard. I’m just loving it! My hydrangeas had new flowers and are now getting bushier. My Malaysian Mums are still adjusting to their new environment, but I’m seeing new shoots coming out of the stems so I guess that’s a good sign.

I hope I can maintain these flowering plants. I’m thinking of getting more. It would be nice to have flowers all year long. Having a garden full of flowers is always a refreshing site.

flowering plants

I know it’s cheap to buy flowers at Dangwa, but I recently discovered the flowering plants that can be bought at Manila Seedlings at Quezon Avenue corner EDSA. You can buy Malaysian mums, gerberas and even Stargazers for almost the same price at Dangwa, but atleast you can keep the plant even after you harvest the flowers. Maybe if you get to take care of them pretty well, they can bloom again. That’s what I actually did when I needed some flowers for my tower set-up for some couples getting married.

satisfied results?

I’ve seen a lot of commercials of diet pills. Sometimes I even end up watching a whole episode about those products being sold through those TV infomercials. I wonder how many people really do call up and order those products. I wonder, too, how many were satisfied with what they bought. They really should show more testimonials of success rates. I hope I know someone who was able to use one of those products and was really happy with the results.

sell house fast

Are you one of those who want to sell house fast? Well, you must be careful in terms of dealing with potential buyers. There are a lot of bogus buyers out there who’s just out to get information about you which they later on sell as potential leads. It’s so unethical to do but I guess with all the financial crisis going on worldwide, some would do anything just to earn money. Well, I just hope you don’t get victimized by these people. Try checking out the site of SecureASale. They just might be able to help you out. Over the years they have developed their company to be a trusted one and one who delivers pretty well.

wedding expos

I hope I’m not jinxing the actual proposal by going to these expos even if we haven’t formalized our engagement yet. We both know we want to marry each other. It’s only a matter of time. Anyway, I got this awesome raffle prize at the wedding expo (ring pillow, coin pillow, bridal pouch). I’m keeping them in their plastic bag since they might be dusty by the time we eventually get to use them. Oh I hope I don’t have to wait that long anymore…

sleeping better

Ever since I cleaned my room, I have been sleeping in my room again. For the longest time, I slept in the living room since my own room is all messed up that it’s almost impossible to sleep in. Anyway, because of the new look of my room I’ve been staying there more often. I don’t even get to watch the TV as much as I used to. I’ve been sleeping more peacefully as well. Sometimes I even over sleep which is a great sign how comfortable my bed and my whole room have become.

wonder pill

I hope there’s a wonder pill you can take that cures all and automatically makes one healthy. Oh well. One time I chanced upon this famous socialite on TV and he said he’s taking around 40 medicines and diet supplements per day! Wow! That is quite a lot. I wonder how his body reacts to all that he is drinking. I wonder how much that costs as well. I hope I don’t get to that state when I would need to drink numerous medicines just to keep me alive. Oh well. I know it only takes the proper diet and regular exercise to be healthy. I wonder why I can’t seem to make progress. *sigh*

gift for mom

I wonder what I would be giving my mom this coming Christmas. It’s so hard giving gifts to parents since they almost have what they want. Well, I was thinking of giving her new eyeglasses since what she has now seemed to be a bit unaligned and doesn’t fit her too well. I’m just wondering how I can possibly buy one that fits her perfectly well without her knowing. Oh well. I just might have to tell her about the gift in advance and just let her come along when I buy it.

Dencio's

It’s been a long time since I ate at Dencio’s. I usually get mixed up between Dencio’s and Gerry’s Grill since they basically have the same offerings. Anyway, my sweetie and I decided to have dinner at Dencio’s the one by Araneta Coliseum during one of our monthsary celebrations.

As we got in, we can’t help but notice a big group which had around 6 tables joined together to form a long table. It looks like someone is celebrating his birthday with family and friends. We were so envious with all the food that they ordered! Hahaha! Anyway, we decided to have their sisig (of course!), calamares, and pancit. My sweetie also ordered their pack of 3 beer. I’m refraining from drinking alcohol so I just had their unlimited iced tea which made visit the comfort room quite often.

Amusingly, Dencio’s have this certain tie up with Pugad Baboy. It was very apparent since their paper mats on the tables had Pugas Baboy comic strips on them. Even the tissue papers had Pugad Baboy on it. It looks like Pugad Baboy’s all over. I recently saw an MTV with them on it as well.
