Easing Your Moving

Moving is for most of us is really a headache. But as the saying says, the only thing constant in life is change. Once in our life we will be moving, some more than once. One of my dear friend moves more than three times last year because of his job. And during his move from one place to another he would always complain on the hassles of moving. And now that he is relocating to a place miles away from his previous home, he is thinking of how to make his moving a breeze. The timing of relocating is bad; his work requires him to work overtime because they have to give more attention on gaining more clients due to the worsening economic crisis. He cannot differ his moving anymore because it would mean more expenses and more time to be wasted. One thing that he also worries is the transfer of some of his bills to his new address. And also he would like to transfer some of his utility accounts like his phone and his broadband connection. Also he is finding a hard time choosing for moving companies. I recommend him moveme.com. This site guarantees to make moving as simple as possible for him. They offer several services for movers like, removal and storage, management and transfer of utilities, planning and other miscellaneous services that may cause headache to movers. They also recommend the best removal companies that one can choose from and is assured that his belongings and properties are safe. Se can ask or arrange what if ever the properties to be moved are insured in case of accidents, like breaking his best china wares or a scratch from his valuable paintings while moving it. I encourage him to consider a removal company since he is just moving a lot of bulky things in his newly purchased house. In moveme.com, he can inquire online for all the services that he needs. They would provide quotations to you online and fast, and since he is too much busy at work, it is very much suitable for him. They usually find the movers that are near to your place so they would be familiar and the risk of getting lost is minimal. I hope I could help him arrange those things but just like him, my office reports are piling up so I really have to work double time. So I just told him to consider moveme.com as my substitute, I just hope he don’t do it very often.

Mini Kathy

I transferred my god daughter Olin's pictures the other day. This is just one of her pictures taken when she visited me and May at the office. I gave her my Christmas gift, an envelope as requested by her Mom (hahaha!). I loved her expression in this picture and I put some bubble thoughts and comments. She really inherited her moms antics!

Ring for a lifetime

Wedding ring is an investment. It symbolizes lifetime promise to the person that one chooses to be with for the rest of his life. Choosing a wedding rings should be as scrutinized as picking your lifetime partner. It should last a lifetime like the promise that you and your spouse made on your wedding day. Titaniumstyle.com offers titanium wedding rings. Titanium rings are known for its strength, resistant to corrosion and light weight. They have classics, inlaid and stone set ring designs that you can choose online. The rings also com with a lifetime warranty and free engraving. I have have recommended this domed hammered finished titanium ring to a friend who just proposed to his girlfriend of five years. He could also consider black tungsten rings which are scratch free and cobalt free. I bet he would also buy matching titanium bracelets for him and his fiancee.

The change has come to America

I would like to quote some of the lines in his victory speech.

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you: We as a people will get there."

"This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."

Yes he is indeed right, the road ahead is very long. We all hope that change would meet America and the whole world at the end of the road. Good luck to the new president!

She is back!

My favorite local chef is back on local TV! I saw her tonight promoting her show on of the local channels. By watching her show years ago, I gained an interest in baking. I was thinking of enrolling in her baking classes but my workload and schedule won't permit me. She was out for a while in the TV scene but now that she's back I promise my self not to miss any of her show's episode. I'm looking forward for more recipes of baked goodies. I can't wait for it!

Finding the best car parts

If you own a car, probably one of your headaches aside from the rocketing prices of gasoline would be maintenance. Having a car is such an investment. Now that the economy is not doing well, and earnings are not that big, purchasing car parts would be a pain in the pocket. That is probably one of the main reasons why it is practical to resort in purchasing used car parts. 24/7 Spares offer quality but cheap used car parts. It is the leading online retailer of used and new car parts. Probably it was the reason why it was ranked six in the "hitwise" category for Automotive Shopping Online. They got inventory of parts for most of the car models and brands. Whether European, American or even Japanese car, you can find it in their site. If you want to purchase parts from them, it would be breeze. You just log on to their site, fill out a part request form. You'll be asked for the details of your car, the part details that you need and your contact details. Once that the part is available they would inform you by phone. In as early as two days you'll receive a package of the parts that you have requested. If you are not sure about the model of your car, don't worry they have a database wherein you would just enter your plate number and they would retrieve the car model and brand. It would be a great relief for car owners. As we all now taking care of a property like a car is like taking care of our family. All that we want is the best, and 247 parts is guaranteed to give you the best.

Birthday Gift

When I looked at my planner I saw a note that said that a cousin of mine would be celebrating his birthday at the end of the month. For sure we would be driving at his home and have dinner with his family to celebrate his birthday. I'm trying to look for appropriate gift for him. He has been with the police force for more than three years now, so I thought of giving him 5.11 Tactical accessories that could be useful for him. I think he would love a brand new holster, he collects a lot of them. I also thought of giving him tactical phone case for his mobile phone since he never leaves without it. Maybe his wife uses it to know his where about and if he is really on duty and not on extra duties lol! I know he would give his biggest laugh if he would read this!

Early Valentine Gift Hunting

The Christmas holidays are now over and the first month of the new year is half way finished. It only means that Valentines is just around the corner. For most single and unattached like me Valentines may seems to be an ordinary day. But for those who have special someone as early as now they are starting to look for valentine gifts .And probably the most popular gift for this occasion are valentine flowers. It has been tested by times that flowers would always bring smile to a woman's face. Roses, tulips, carnations, and others seems to be touching a woman's heart in a very special way. Now you can have them delivered anywhere your loved ones maybe. With just dialing a number over the phone you can tell someone how special she is by sending her a bunch of flowers. I remember last year, flowers are flowing at our office lobby. But for those who want to deviate from the traditional and want something unusual , they can try find other unique gift ideas .How nice if I could also receive gifts and flowers this coming Valentines but unfortunately, cupid's arrow haven't landed on me. I think this year I would still be counting the flowers that would be pouring in our office. Its alright, who knows in time!

Biker's dilema

Every morning one of the first obstacle that I face is traffic. Now that our working hours was changed from 8:00 am -5:45 pm to 7:30 am -6:00 pm we became more vulnerable to morning traffic. That is why motorcycle is very marketable now a days. Very fuel efficient, no traffic and sleek. No wonder many are hooked in having one especially the men. Sometimes I would like to believe men are gaining more interest in bikes rather than girls. And they are not just satisfied with having a bike. They are dying to put some modifications and accessories on it. One time I passed by our two workers. I was on my way to our warehouse to oversee some documentations. I overheard them exchanging talks about honda motorcycle parts that they are planning to put on their bikes. I saw them pulling out pictures of grips, chrome accessories, lights and other bike parts. They are very much into it and they did not notice their boss is coming to them. They are very much lucky that I manage to warn them by greeting the manager at my highest and loudest voice. Maybe the manager was surprised that I actually put too much effort in greeting him knowing that I don't normally do that. Now they owe me something! When I passed by again on my way back to office the two gave me their sweetest smile and their sincerest gratitude. I just gave them my biggest laugh and told them that they were damn lucky. I think they owed me a ride home dont you think?

Sick again

I am sick. As I am typing this post my eyes are teary, I got a runny nose and slight fever. I guess my body finally gave up. since the year has started, I worked for more than 10 hours a day. Actually we have no choice but to work double time. Financial audit would start in a month and we haven't close our books.

Earlier my boss advise me to take Vitamin C to boost my immune system. Now that the nights are extra colder, I'm very much vulnerable to colds. But too late, it caught me! Now I have to deal with this. I can't afford to sacrifice one working day!

Vanity for men

Before, being vain is always associated with women. Now a days vanity is no longer exclusive for the females. Members of the male species are now beginning to be aware of cosmetic surgeries. They are begging to show interest in various cosmetic surgery procedures like nose reshaping, ear reshaping, male chest reduction and of course liposuction. I have a male friend who would always told me that maybe it's time for him to try cosmetic surgery to upgrade his market value that is beginning to depreciate because of aging and stress. He is very much interested with nose reshaping. So he asked me to help him do some research on cosmetic surgery for men. MYA cosmetic surgery offers a range of cosmetic surgery for men. They have a line up of the experienced cosmetic surgery surgeons who are practicing cosmetic surgery for the male gender. One nice thing about this site is that they have free consultations where in the surgeons themselves would discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. Inquiry for prices and the step by step procedures are also being discussed on consultations. It is an advantage that the surgeons are hands-on starting on consultations because the would be patient would be assured that the information that he would get are correct and not just handed on information. Cosmetic surgery would be a great help for men who are starting to lose self esteem which every man should have to survive the stiff competition in their world.

Office News for the day

News that circulate currently here at the office:

1. Kuya Tom, the oldest bachelor in the whole factory is getting married finally! I wonder why he had to wait for him to turn forty before getting married! Hahaha! And now his title of being the oldest bachelor is being transferred to Kuya Tan. I wonder if Kuya Tan is feeling the pressure right now.

2. The movie of Angel and Piolo. Love me again (land down under) is bringing the level of excitement of Mama Del, Ate Cons and She to the highest level.

3. Every day stories of Sir Jun about customers closing down, cutting work days. Every day, the numbers are multiplying. Fear on our part is rising.

4. Suspension order for Manny. Accessory to theft was his case, but he is not accepting his Disciplinary Action. My stand, well why it should happen at this time. Working days are reduced to 11 days and if ever he would be sanctioned, it would be cut to probably 9 days per cut-off. How could he and his family get by with his earnings? The offense is vrey minimal, I don’t say that he should be tolerated but there are other penalties that would be just for not. Suspension is too hard and heart breaking. And would it be reasonable to bring to court an incident of removing a door stopper so the other one can bring it home? A door stopper which probably cost less than 10 dollars.

Costume Party

When my bestfriend Joanne was still in the planning stage of the birthday party for his son Lance her Tita Cit suggested why not have a Costume Party! Well not a bad idea! Much to my excitement I started brainstorming for my would be costume. I got plenty running in my head, I love to be a gypsy or perhaps Little Red Riding Hood, or a milkmaid! I was even bugging every one in the house and asking what would be the best for me. My brother told me why not look for Halloween Costumes at the net. I thought my options for costumes would be limited due to my very much full figure. But to my surprise the site have a wide array of choices for different costumes not just for Halloween. It has costumes for Children, Adults and Infants. They also have choices for wigs, make-up, hats, mask, decorations and even pets that would complete your wardrobe of choice. One good thing about the site is that you can filter your choice by different categories. You can also filter the choices by figure type, whether for full figured persons or for sexy ones. I choose this Mother Superior costume. Well not that evident but I used to dream of becoming a nun when I was a child. Now that I have grown up, I told my self that no convent would be accepting me! I'm too hyper for a convent so just even for a day I could be a nun because of this costume. Enough for my excitement for the party to think that it is still not final. Now I have to look for a Kids Costumes for Brent and a matching Adult Costumes for his Mom for their program at school.

Highschool days

Me and some of my high school barkadas met last night. Our group has two prized possessions. Two albums containing pictures from our outings, field trips, retreats, school events etc. and a Journal which contains the group's famous lines, funny nicknames, members' worse habits etc. Finally after eleven years I got a glimpse again of those pictures. Looking back, I realized that we have grown up. As we compare our physical attributes before and now we had our loudest laughs. Those who were skinny before are now doubled in size. Good thing I was on the plus size even before so there not that big comparison! Lol! More pictures to post soon! More glimpse of my high school days. Can you guess where am I in this picture? Did I improve? hahaha!

Banana Pie from Boss

My boss went home to Japan for his usual Christmas vacation. He also took the time to have his vaccination for flu. And of course the thing that is synonymous with his trip are the Omiyage (presents/souvenirs). Now he got us this cute banana pies. I asked why the hell are these called pie, but they looked more like biscuits, more similar to Cebu's otap. He just laughed off and shook his head so I just dropped off the argument. And before the cookies/pies arre distributed I manage to took some picture. The packaging is nice, I love it!

Upgrade for our Den

I was thinking of having furniture for our den. Now that the year has come to a close and the pressures of work and reports are starting to pile at my desk, I think it would be nice to relax on cold nights. Having coffee and my tasty muffins and cookies while listening to my choice of music would help me regain the energy that I lose at work. Relaxation is essential for me to cope up and meet my deadlines. It would also be good for those small talks that my friends and I share every time they would drive at our house for dinner and bonding times. I browse for furniture sites and I happen to drop by this furniture site that has a range of Conservatory Furniture. I prefer their Rattan Furniture for my deck. The designs are contemporary and nice which I always prefer. The cushion seems to be very comfortable and they have wide selection of fabrics to be used. Appropriate for long seating times, which my friends and I always have because of the never ending stories about work, family and others that we share over foods and drinks.. And rattan has been known for its durability. In these times, durability of the furniture that we would be planning to purchase should be considered for us to save money for repairs and other maintenance. I’m sure my mom would love my idea of having this furniture, can’t wait to tell her!

New year, new start

I'm starting my year good.

I hope for a great year ahead not just for me but for everyone.

This year I hope for the following:

-Love my self more, I think I have taken my self granted for the past years and maybe it not being selfish to love yourself more.

-More talk time with God. Last year I was too busy that I neglect my duties as Catholic. This year I would make sure to devote more time to the one whom I owed everything.

-More time for my family, more bonding moments.

-Save, lessen expenses. Recession is not yet over.

-Start a small business, extra income. But as of the moment I haven't think of anything.

-Commit more to my work. Finish reports on time. Avoid penalties. I can't afford unsolicited Saturday offs again.

-Travel. Out of the country would be great but trips around the country would be fine.

-Reconnect to old friends, lost friends. Make new ties, win new friends, real friends.

-To be wiser in making decisions to avoid mistakes.

-Sleep, more sleep and more sleep. I wish I could increase my sleeping time during weekdays.

-Be more sensitive to the need of others

-Be happy and optimistic in life. Life is short, we should all make every minute of it worthy.

Christmas Family Bonding

It has been part of our family traditions to gather every Christmas Day to eat together and bond. We have been practicing this for more than a decade I guess.

We usually have our reunion in the evening but last Christmas day we have it in the afternoon, maybe because the oldies are getting older and it would be difficult for them to stay late at night. And since we are multiplying, some would still go to their other families (the other side I mean.).

I would share to you some pictures taken. I just grabbed these from Kuya Alvin because I forgot to bring my camera (Blame it on my headache :) ) and some family trivia.

Brgy. Mulawin (our family; Mulawin is the name of the barangay where we reside)

We are missing one family! My Kuya Greg's it's their 5th missed reunion. They went home last year but failed to attend the reunion because they arrived December 31.

The Brgy. Gen. Trias Family

They are one of the biggest family in the clan. Their first Christmas without their father who passed away last October. They are also missing one member, my Ninang Tessie who is in the US with her family. All of the Arca siblings are married except for Ate Cecil (the one in brown tank top) We all hope next year there would be someone new in the picture! hehehe! I love you ate!

The Brgy 4-Bantolino Family

The smallest family in the clan.

The Brgy. 4-Capio Family

With their newest addition, baby Rein! It is actually my first time to see Kuya Jonee's son and wife, he is based in Baguio (he works in Texas Instruments) so they seldom go down here in Cavite. There is Kuya Alvin, my favorite actually our favorite (the one in the stripes polo shirt!) I gave out a loud laugh when he answered back when he was kidded that its okay to bring one's girlfriend/boyfriend.

The Brgy 4-Tahimic Family

Unfortunately the two cute kids are sick and went home early (Thomas and Veniz) You see the boy in red sando, such a brave boy, he just undergone a series of heart operation and after the holidays, he will again undergo one more.

The Brgy. 4-Tahimic Family

The youngest family in the clan. My favorite Uncle Boyong hehehe! The fun starter! The title holder of the "Batya at Palo-palo" award! hehehe! This year he is giving it away to Kuya Nanu and Kuya Pet but the crowd don't like!

The Tahimic Siblings of Leoncio and Leonora Dulce-Tahimic

L-R Simeon and Amelia Tahimic, Pert (represents his father Basil) and Anatalia Tahimic-Arca, Teddy and Francisca Tahimic-Bantolino, Gusing and Rowena Tahimic-Capio, Elvie Tahimic (married to Cresenciano Tahimic) and Leani and Virgilio Tahimic (aka Uncle Boyong! remember the commercial for duty free philippines? it is where we got his nickname) not in the picture (deceased) Sofia Tahimic-Cesa

Last Working Day of 2008

Few hours before Christmas. I arrived from work nearly 4:00 pm. Good thing we finished the Annual Physical Inventory before lunch so we were able to go home early. I feel exhausted. Dead tired.

In the last working day of the year the spirit of sharing was every where in the factory. Sir Jun brought "Pancit Puti", its a pancit made from sotanghon and not the traditional bihon or canton. Lovemela, one of our former officemates drop by the office and brought Rocky Road Cake. We have them for the afternoon snack. Kuya Tan and I and I think Mabel jointly took charge of the drinks. It was not only the foods that flowed, every table in the office were filled with gifts big and small. This year I gave ballpens adorned with butterflies, feathers, crown and stars for the girls and hankies/towel for the boys. We also gave gifts for the Senju Kids (both godchild and non godchild. I have 3 official Godchildren from my Senju Family and more than 3 unofficial Godchildren! hahaha!) Good thing that Toy Kingdom wrap all the toys that you would brought from them, irregardless of the price so I was able to save my energy for gift wrapping.

Its nice to see that in spite of the global economic recession we still took effort to share. Its one of the things that I love about my Senju Family, we really treat each other as family members. One's pain is everybody's pain, one's joy is everyone's joy.

We just pray for a good 2009 for all of us.
