i'm worth 550,000 Great British Pounds!

Here's another email i got today that i wish it's true!

"I am using this opportunity to thank you for your effort to our unfinished transfer of fund into your account, I want to inform you that I have successfully transferred the Cheque out of the company to someone else who was capable of assisting me in this great venture. Due to your effort, sincerity, courage you showed at the course of the transaction I want to compensate you with the sum of £550,000.00 (Five Hundred And Fifty thousand Great British Pounds). You are to contact the COMPENSATION FINANCE & INVESTMENT LTD where I deposited the fund to issue you an international certified bank draft cashable at your bank.

At the moment, I am very busy here because of the investment projects I am having at hand. Finally, I have forwarded instruction to the finance house on your behalf to send the bank draft to you as soon as you contact them."


Wow!!!! Imagine if this is all true! How much is this in Philippine pesos? Gosh! I'll be travelling here and there. And i'll sure will purchase my dream house. Tsk!

beauty rest and retreat

My head is aching, i feel dizzy probably because i slept at around 6:00am today. Went to the airport with my mother to send off my youngest sister. She'll be in Manila for a weeklong training in her new work. I so wanted to have a body massage. I so long to go to a massage parlor and have the much needed retreat. Speaking of which, i noticed lots of massage parlors sprout in the city now a days. Wherever you go, you will spot a very inviting massage parlor or a spa and sauna or beauty parlor. I hint that massage parlors and massage therapy schools are lucrative businesses today. Well, after long hours of work, one truly deserves a relaxing massage. And a beauty retreat especially to women.

heavy rains this afternoon

I was about to leave when the rain started to pour. I said i'll wait for a few minutes and let the rain stop. Wait i did until i fall asleep! I woke up but the rain did not stop and it became heavier. Yet, i had to leave. Armed with my blue umbrella (to match my blue uniform), i went out of the house and walked my way to the streets. 10 steps and i came running back home! The rain's too heavy that i got wet in just a matter of minutes. I change my pants to skirt and then waited for another hour. Finally, the rain slowed down and off i went again. I hailed a cab - only to find out i have no money for the fare...

weekends

If i'm not working on weekends, i'm usually somewhere in downtown looking for some cheap but nice things to buy like clothes, bags and shoes. I'm not brand conscious anyway so i really enjoy shopping in bazaars and small shops. I sometimes go with my friend, Glorie, who also is an expert in finding the best buys at affordable prices. After the tiring stroll in the different shops, we'd often end up eating siomai or bbq. And while eating, we'd think of hundreds of possible business we could open like a boutique, a small restaurant, a grocery store, etc. Maybe it's high time we'd put our thinking into action. What we need is capital and a little more determination. And maybe we'd also check out futures trading online.

monthly period

I hate that day - you know that first day that most women dread for? Yes, i meant first days of monthly periods. An ordeal every woman on earth will have to go through. As for my case, it's either i get a migraine, pain of which is impossible! And I mean here unbearable. Or i get menstrual cramps that i could wish i'm just at hope sleeping. The most annoying part is that it's always accompanied by pimples. I've tried a couple of creams around but i don't think i could say one works for me. Zeno is a handheld electronic device that i must try to remove pimples or other skin blemishes. I'm sure there's one product out there that will work for me.

lots of photos


These photos are taken during my birthday. I really have lots of photos to share because i love taking pictures. I love capturing moments. Even if i don't have a very sleek or high end camera, it's enough for me that i get to immortalize moments through photos. But of course, SLR cameras wouldn't hurt if i own one. :) And because i also love to share photos, i often make them into collages. You get to see a lot of poses in just one file. I think photos are meant to be shared so maybe it would be really hip and cool and great if i have a digital photo frame to boost. I would have an interesting way of sharing photos then.

i hate thursdays

I sort of hate Thursdays. It is the time of the week when I will spend 2 hours maximum listening to my offshore counterparts during teleconferences. I just really find it tiring and annoying because sometimes i'm really just listening to some people talking and i only get to talk when asked. And i hate knowing the project status of coworkers because i need to know it because i will be asked anytime. And it will be a shame if i cannot answer. Now, i'm beginning to hate Wednesdays too. This time i'm like listening to a Chinese drama on air for most of the participants are from China office. I couldn't understand them and i can't get to hear them clearly. Maybe a Bluetooth headset will solve my concern! Hmmnn can i make a request for this? I just got an idea.

a great realization, through my necklace

Magbisaya ko kay dili ko kamao mu english sa word nga nabubub hehe. The picture is a necklace. I spent countless hours trying to figure out unsaon pagtangtang sa bubud kay puerte na gyud niyang lambud-lambud. Gisapot na kaau ko, as in nanginit na ko sa kasapot kay dili gyud nako mabungkag ang chain. Sa tunga-tunga sa akong sapot, I realize i needed to figure a way nga masulbad nako ang bubud instead of just trying my luck ug bitad bitad hoping to find a loose end nga makasugud ug wagtang sa bubud. So, akong gibuhat, nisugud ko sa usa ka end, from there akong gisubay iyang bubud hantud finally naabut ko sa pikas tumuy. Viola! nawagtang ang bubud ug magamit na nako ang necklace! Dugay sya nga process and the same way nga nagkinahanglan ug pasensya but i was sure i was leading into something. Unlike sa pelmiro nga dugay kaau ko gabinatbinat apan wala gyud nako nabungkag ang chain. I contemplated: it's just the same with my life. If I will not start something solid with it - i will arrive at nothing. It may take longer but at least i'm certain im getting into something. If i will do nothing and just wait for chances - then i may or may not arrive to something. Grabe ni nga pamalandong sa akoa, sa tinuud lang :P
