Contract Signing

Today, I signed my contract and I am expected to leave the Philippines very soon.

As much as my father wanted to drive me to Makati, he had to report to work early. And I could not use my car [POOTCHI] since it's a "Oh-No-It's-A-Tuesday-Coding-For-Her". So I had no choice but to commute. But when I woke up early this morning, my mother told me she would accompany me. I was really touched. (that's why I am sharing you the story)... Obviously I know how to go to Makati. I studied there from elem to high school and I worked and lived there also. I believed she was just a little worried that I might faint (because I am anemic) especially in crowded places... I told her to just stay at home and I could manage going there by myself, but she insisted. You know, I could not help but smile. I felt really blessed for having a mother like her. I believe it's my mom's way of making me feel how much she loves me and how much she wants to protect me... I may be a little pampered here in the Philippines, but I am also used to an independent life. I've worked and lived in four countries already (excluding Ph). But nothing beats the joy of being taken care of your mother.

While we were at the bus, my mom fell asleep and as I was looking at her face, I thought how beautiful she was (her father has Spanish blood, that's why)... That moment was priceless..I realized my mother has always been there for me. She has always been my "lucky charm". And for that I am very grateful.

Leaving home is not easy... Just the thought of it... Ooooh... And even if my mom was against the idea of working abroad because my former boss was really mean and rude...ummpp let us just say, she';s not nice. I thank her for all the support. I would not have done this without her guidance.

So, I just have few weeks to teach her how to use the internet. She was too lazy to learn it before, but she was not happy with her phone bill...

On our way home.. I told my mom how reckless the bus driver was, and she told me...
"Pa'no natin irereport, tingnan mo yung number..."
Nyay...Oo nga naman...:)
Thankful for my mother,
daintypinay

Letting Go

If Letting Go is a profession, I would have probably earned my Masteral by now... :)


Just a Quick Trivia:
I am always the last girlfriend or a woman a man would love before he gets married...
Just probably a coincidence... Yey, thrice in a row...
Come to think of it, I only fall inlove once in a blue moon...

Welcome Baby Cassie

Princess, one of my closest friends back in Qatar gave birth last night at 12:40am. Technically, the baby was born today, March 30... We could have shared the same birthday.. Yes, it was my birthday yesterday.. ;)

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

I feel so happy seeing such a cute Fil-Am baby girl. Princess told me she wanted me to be her baby's godmother... Awwww, I can't wait to see her.... - Baby Cassie....

Cassandra (got this photo from her dad's FB)

with her beautiful and kind-hearted mother -Princess back in Al Ghariya Resort, Qatar...

 I MISS HER... SHE HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME. SHE HAS BEEN A REAL FRIEND.
She was my colleague. My shopping buddy. My roommate. 
We shared so many good memories together. 
I remember crying hard so much when she left Doha.  :)
It was like breaking up with your boyfriend....  That painful... :)
I am thankful for our friendship and I wish her all the best in life.

One Lucky Night!

As I have mentioned on my previous post, we attended the Velvet last March 4 to support RB Chanco, our beloved teacher. After the event, my classmates and I hurriedly went to Greenbelt to have our late dinner...
Another classmate was missing.. So we sent him a SMS and told him to just follow us since we were all about to die of hunger....

Conversation when he arrived:
US: Where have you been?
Him: Eh kasi. Nakita ko yung friend ko. I was introduced to Marc Nelson...
Me: Marc Nelson? Di nga?! He was there? Ows?
Him: Yes. Andun sya, mare...


I could not believe it. He was also there? It should have been my chance to see him in person. As you know, he has been my crush since I was in high school. And every time there's a chance to see him, an unfortunate event would happen..

I asked myself that night... What's the chance to bump into Marc Nelson one of these days? The population in Metro Manila is 20 million...

The following day, after our finals, we went to Greenbelt 5 to have our late dinner. Then hurried our way to Landmark to buy some colored pencils and head dress that we could possibly use for the Avant Garde theme for the finals. The mall was about to close when we arrived... We were running here and there..Sweating to death, if you could only imagine... Around 10:30 PM, deadly tired on our way back to Greenbelt 5 (where I parked my car), I bumped into--- guess who?. MARC NELSON.. No kidding! :)

I could not help but call his attention -- "Marc!"
He looked at me, trying to recall if he knew me.... Hahaha.. This is funny!
So I said, "Can I take a photo with you?"
He said, "Sure"... And he smiled.. Waaah.. I almost died...:P

Daintypinay  meets MARC!
It created a commotion. Haha.. I didn't care!!
I told him, "I waited for this moment.."
You guys just  have no idea how long..

It was probably one of the happiest and luckiest nights of my life..... Indeed!
Just sharing the joy! :D

My Bessie Avick

I just spoke with another bestfriend of mine --- my Bessie Avick... She's flying in a few more hours for Italy.
I am sad because I'll surely miss her. She has been my partner-in-crime. Almost all of my out of town trips were with her. You know, she's the type of a person who will always make a way to spend time with her friends. Madaling yayain sa lakaran.. Madaling kaladkarin sa lakwatsa... :)

Our friendship is very deep. She knows my deepest secrets.. She knows every pain and  joy I have gone through... She was always there for me to support and protect me....I would always feel safe whenever she's around... ... Everybody loves her. She's like a friend to everyone... I love everything about her most especially her personality.. I don't think words are enough to describe how great a person she is....

 Bessie,

For keeping my spirits up.
For never letting me down.
For being here for me.
For knowing I'm there for you.

For bringing so many smiles my way.
For being so sensitive to my needs.
For knowing just what to say.
For listening better than anyone else.

For bringing me laughter.
For bringing me light.
For understanding so much about me.
For trusting me with so much about you.

For being the BEST.
For being so beautiful..
For being my bestfriend..

Thank you for everything..

Thank you for all the wonderful years filled with happy and great memories.. 
You are an amazing bestfriend...
Love you loads!!
