Anywhere is Paradise

| It's all up to you |

1. Old friends! - Reunited with friends from Dubai. We're all settled here in Philippines now but we don't get a chance to get together like this often. This was our picture after our freakin' Anawangin adventure last November. Friendship never gets old!


2. Job promotion! - my job always keeps me aiming for more! God gave me His last minute blessing before the year ends! Whatta cool gift for an employee!

3. Good food! - exactly what I need to keep me energized everyday! I'm lucky enough to have more than 3 meals in a day. 



4. Leisure - Every once in a while, I can go places I want.



5. New friends - This year I changed my job environment. I used to work in a construction, I transferred to an interior design firm. New place too! And new faces to get along with. Gladly it isn't hard to find new friendship with them.

My housemates!

6. Bonded and tight Family! - We are actually not complete this year. Papa and my older brother are working abroad but our family is huge. We're too many! And the more the merrier. Bondings never ends.

What more can I say, I'm a lucky girl! Count your blessing guys! God loves us so much. Walk by faith, not by sight. Every year, change is constant and better change for the best! Happy New Year! Yey excited for fireworks display later!


I haven't been with these girls for long months! My favorite girlfriends since 3rd year highschool. Finally, we got out from busy jobs this season. Except we're missing one, CHEENEE! The busiest girl now in Tenesee. We took picture for her though. Can't say much, we just talked and talked and eat and eat! It was also my first time to dine at SNR and I can say their pizza is way better than Xpresso. Super busog ka pa for 600 pesos only. Sulit! 



We miss you Cheenee!

I have a week to rest. Yey! No work till January 3, 2012. Which also means "no work,no pay", not enough salary for the first month of the year! Aww.. Happy holidays everyone, spend time with your family and friends!
An excerpt from my Tumblr, my Christmas wish last year which was Forgiveness.

it’s Christmas time. the best gift to give this season is forgiveness. it's time you learn to forgive people who caused you pain. stop keeping hatred in your heart. whatever has happened to you, never blame anyone for it. help yourself to let go of the hurt. you shouldn't keep your anger for too long. the person may not have the strength to ask for your forgiveness, so why not give it instead without them asking for sorry? it will surely make you feel better. Heal your heart with God..
ANG DIYOS NGA NAKAKAPAGPATAWAD, TAYO PA KAYA NA TAO LAMANG?—-forgive this Christmas, share love!!
This year, I wish everyone to be hopeful. Rich countries are under going financial crisis. Job recessions results to unemployed professionals. Earthquakes, tsunami and natural calamities brought lifestyle damages. Even the controversial 2012 movie gives us threat for next year. No Harold Camping can tell how or when this world will end. Only God knows his own plan. You are in control of your life but it's still Him who owns us. We are His and He will always find a way to make us feel loved even the most darkest days and worst struggles we may have.

Let's be hopeful that every waking day will still be beautiful. Be hopeful that tomorrow, after a heavy storm will come a sunny day. Be hopeful that after all those years of being alone, someone will capture you heart. Be hopeful that tears will turn into smiles. Be hopeful that the next days you will still have reasons to burst out a good laugh. Be hopeful that you'll finally get that job promotion (I just did!Yehey!). Be hopeful that you're close to reaching that dream. Be hopeful and faithful that God will never leave you no matter what!

Advance Happy Christmas everyone!
In June 2001, I had the best summer vacation. And I bet it could've been happier if I was older that time. Wala pa din digicams noon, that's why it's hard to get a real good picture. Some are dark or blurry. We visited my grandparents in San Diego when my Lola was still alive. My Lolo still lives there until now with one of my aunts. It's not that easy to have a US visa and we we're lucky enough to be issued with a 10years tourist visa. Yey! Sadly my brothers and I only managed to go there once. My parents tried their luck on employment twice and unfortunately, it just wasn't for them. I can't believe it's been more than a decade since I stepped into LA airport. I don't know when I'll be there again. I hope soon! =)

Sharing my California vacation experience. Heavy picture post!*

At the highest point of the park stands the Old Point Loma Lighthouse,
