xx I’ve been introduced to group buying sites just recently. Thanks to my thrifty and economical friends! Yes, I know, super late na ako hehehe! (But it’s better to be late than preggers right?) So anyway, I’ve been checking their daily deals and I’ve bought a couple of vouchers here and there. I’m excited to use them soon! I love sales and discounts!!! I get off when I see the SALE sign in malls. Bwahahahahah!

xx In one of my recent posts, I mentioned about things going smoothly at work diba? I have validated that I was really doing a good job because I received an incentive today for being so kick-ass this 2^nd quarter. Hehehehehe.

xx the 15^th and the 30^th of each month are the bloodiest days in  my work calendar because I have to do Business Reviews. It’s a good thing that I’m already done with my report. Yehey!

This is a good day. Thank you Lord. =)

How’s everyone’s day going so far?

Kisses on the cheeks,

Khaye

Lines That Make Me "KILIG"

1. "The time now is 12NN. Please synchronize your clock. Your delivery will arrive in 30 to 40 minutes."

I know that I am not getting any younger and I would probably regret my eating habits a couple of years from now but I really cannot resist NOT eating fastfood. Especially since I live alone and most of the time I cannot muster enough strength after work to cook something healthy and edible. While most people have their parents or their loved-ones on speed dial, number 1 on my list is McDonalds, Jollibee, Chowking and KFC (not exactly in that order). I get this warm fuzzy feeling everytime I hear the fastfood representative say that my order will arrive in 30minutes. I feel as if I'm 4-years old once again and I'm waiting for Santa Claus to come by our house on Christmas Eve. Yes, I am a fastfood junkie. (If there are kids reading my blog - WAG NYO AKONG TULARAN.)

2. "I love you." Of course I get butterflies in my stomach everytime I hear this line especially if it's from someone that I fancy. To quote my friends ~ "O, water-water ka na naman!" Hahahaha! But of course, there are different levels of LOVE. I also get kilig everytime I hear my parents, my siblings and my pamangkins utter these words to me. I live in a very loving family and we are used to saying "I love you's" to each other. No matter how many times I hear them say it, it still melts my heart. :)

3. "Double-pay tayo bukas."

Yes, this line never fails to make me feel giddy inside-n-out. It has the same effect as Patrick Dempsey getting on one knee and asking me to marry him. HAHAHAAH! Of course I slave myself to work everyday and knowing that I'm getting paid double for a day's work amps up the kilig-ness factor! :)

4. "Sale sa SM!"

I am a cheapskate. You must all know that by now. I get skittish everytime I see the SALE sign in shopping malls. I don't shop that much but on the rare occasions that I do, I always try to get them when they are on SALE. Hahaha! Hello, times are hard noh! LOL!

How about you, what makes you KILIG? I want to know. =)

Tired.

I had a very busy yet productive week at work. It's a nice way to start the month as I'm within quota. Yehey!

Today, I went to school at 7:30am. 1st day of the 2nd semester. Most professors don't go to class on the first day but I was lucky enough that all my teachers were present earlier. At least ndi sayang yung pagpunta ko! Hehehe.

After school, I rushed off to Makati to host a birthday-slash-slumber party. The kids were all game so it was a very fun afternoon. The party ended around 7pm. I was sooo tired, my legs were a bit sore from standing up the whole afternoon, my head hurts and the only thing I was looking forward to was to go home and sleep and cuddle. But of course, I dont feel like complaining at all because I feel blessed that I have work, school and occasional rakets like this to keep me busy. 

You know what would really complete my day? Jacuzzi + massage.

 

Oh well. Im super spent to do anything! I just wana relax, sleep and cuddle!!!!!!
Good night everyone! Hope all of you had a very productive week too!

The Go-getter

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and didn't read until he was seven. Thomas Edison was a school drop out. Walt Disney got bankrupt a couple of times before he built Disneyland.


So what do I have in common with these great people? (Hanep sa leveling no? Haha)


We all started with a dream.


Let me tell you my story.


When I was a little girl, I have this rich godmother who always had nice condos and nice cars to her name.  She had a thriving business and she was living the life. I used to visit her in her posh condo in Makati every Christmas and I would always feel excited and jumpy everytime we’d go there. It was pretty and fancy and classy in a homey kind of way. Her bathroom would always be full of nice-smelling perfumes and lotions. When I was little, I remember telling my mom that I want to have a condo like hers when I grow up. I want to have my own place, my own car, and my own business.

Twenty years later, I dropped out of college, barely had a hundred peso in savings, but I still had that fire in me. I knew deep down inside that I still wanted my childhood dream to materialize.

Three years ago, I got a call from my mom telling me that one of her friends was moving to the US and that she was selling her unit somewhere in QC. She wanted to know if I wanted to get it. (Read: BUY it, not rent it!)

At first I thought the idea was absurd because I barely had enough money in Savings so how in hell am I going to buy it. My mom said that the processing of the titles and the papers and equity would set me back around 200k. On top of that, the cost of the unit was six-digits-something thousand. Hehehe.

What the fuck? I don’t even have 30 grand in my account. So how in the world would I be able to come up with 200k for starters? Since the seller was a friend of my mom’s, she has given me a year to try and save up for it. If not, then they will offer it to someone else.

I knew that I wouldn’t be able to save that much amount if I would only rely on my salary so I had to think of ways to earn money on the side. That’s when I scoured out newspapers and online ads for things that I could do during my days off from work. I figured that since I wanted to own this unit real bad, I need to do something about it.. Fast! Karir kung karir! Hahahaha!

Since makapal ang mukha ko and I have this penchant for entertaining people, I tried applying as a party host. No, not the usual hosts that you see in fast food chains. Of course, if you want to aim, you should aim big time. Hahahaha! I remember my first assignment was during the launch of a real estate somewhere in Las Pinas. Yes, kahit malayo kinarir ko sya. Hahahaha! I hosted a party for the kids and did some storytelling. The pay wasn’t big but because I was just starting out, I didn’t want to charge so high. (At least not yet anyway, hehehe).

After that stint, I hosted a party in Greenbelt. It was during this time that a lady from the audience approached me and told me she had her own party business. She wanted to get me as her host for double the price that Im currently getting. Wow, may pirata effect rin pala sa ganyan. Hahaha! Because I needed to save up, I agreed to jump ship. So she got me party bookings left and right. I would go to work Mondays thru Fridays, and then I would do my “sideline” Saturdays and Sundays. Yes, ako na! Ako na si Kuracha! Walang pahinga! :) I remember there were times when I had two parties to host in one day. So talagang karir kung karir. (Just to make it clear, I host kiddie parties, not stag parties ha! Hahahah.)

So ang ending, I saved money from my hosting sideline and I also saved some money from my salary and in the end, I was able to come up with the money needed to start with the processing, tax, equity, etc. Tapos yung actual amount ng unit I applied through Pag-Ibig. Yup, I did it on my own. Didn’t ask a single penny from my parents. Ndi naman kame mayaman noh! Hehehe.

I feel happy everytime I look back at that phase in my life because it just goes to show that if you want something so bad, nothing is impossible. You just need to work hard for it and eventually it will be yours. My unit may not be as posh as my godmother’s Makati condo, but because I’ve worked hard to get it, it will always be my little square space of heaven. *smile*

Ö Travel and see the world. (or at least 1/8 of it. Haha)
Ö Get my own unit.
Ö Learn to cook.
Ö Snag a wonderful boyfriend.

Currently working on:

Get a degree – working on it as we speak.
Save for the future – slaving for it as we speak. (hahahah!)

Dreams for the future :


Get married.
Get an MBA.
Have cute babies.
Become a teacher.
Live life.


Everything starts with a dream.

Let’s all dream! And let’s all dream BIG! Spreading positive vibes all around! :)

2. I talk like a man. (Refer to #1 as example) Yes. I talk about dirty, eeeky, and mostly unpure stuff. I curse like a man too. Haha! Yes I know that's bad but I can't help it. That's why I have a lot of male friends. Men easily warm up to me because I talk like them.


3. My favorite curse? "Fuckin sh!t" --  I utter these words when I get excited or anxious or pissed off or when I am hot and bothered. LOL.


4.  My ultimate dream date is to go on a picnic. Basket full of munchies, cheese and crackers, beer/wine, and banig! Yes, the works! And we'll be surrounded by all things green and flowery! I super like! I've never been out on a picnic date before. It sucks to be me. Hahahahaa.


5. When I'm running out of cash while shopping, I usually take a picture of the dress that I wasn't able to buy to serve as a reminder for me to buy it the next time around. (But yeah, majority of the time, ndi ko na sya nababalikan.. LOL!)

Like the other day, I bought a dress in the mall. When I was on my way out, I saw this dress but it was too expensive. Bakit ganun? Kung ano yung konti yung tela, yun yung mahal? Hahaha!

6. I can't live without my hair straightening iron. (and my laptop)

7. My dad only spanked me twice during my entire childhood. I can't remember why he spanked me the first time, but the last time he did was because I told my eldest brother "Mamatay Ka Na!". Ayun, napalo ako! Ouchie! (Moral Lesson : pag inaway ang kapatid, siguraduhing hindi maririnig ng tatay nyo. Haha)

8. Contrary to the above, I am close to my brother and sisters. No choice eh! Hahahahaha! I share the juicy secrets of my life to my sisters. My brother? He's the family's biggest goofball. We have loads of fun when we are together.

"The Retards"

9. May umakyat ng ligaw saken dati sa bahay. Muntik nang masuntok ng kuya ko. Hahahahahahaha!

12. I still dance until now. But mostly when no one's watching.

Sideline ko pag weekend - Poledancing. Hahahahaha!

13. I've never been attracted to men with abs

Mo' Money, Mo' Problems

I went to Singapore last year with my college buddies and we visited some of the 'touristy' places in the area. One of which was the Fountain of Wealth in Suntec City.

The Fountain of Wealth (Chinese: 财富之泉) is listed by the Guinness Book of Records in 1998 as the largest fountain in the world. It is located in one of Singapore's largest shopping malls, Suntec City.


During certain periods of the day, the fountain is turned off and visitors are invited to walk around a mini fountain at the centre of the fountain's base for good luck. At night, the fountain is the setting for laser performances, as well as "live" song and laser message dedications between 8pm to 9pm daily. It is situated in such a way the fountain is the hub of the shopping mall. (source: wikipedia)

Yumaman na kaya yung porener na nasa likod ko?

Once you go near the fountain, you would see a small sign that would tell you what you need to do: Rumor has it that you need to go around the fountain three times with your hand touching the water for goodluck. I can't remember if you need to go clockwise or counter clockwise pero may ganung chorvaloo dun. Hehehe.

Parang may sirang tubo lang sa NAWASA noh? Hehehe

Dahil wala namang mawawala saken and I was there already, I decided to give it a try. I went around the fountain three times, just like what the sign said. It was noontime when we got to the place so you can just imagine how hot it was during that time. It was a good thing that the water from the fountain was cold.

--------------------------------------------------------------

It has already been a year since that day in the fountain. Did I become rich? Nope. Naging super duper wealthy ba ko after that incident? Hell no! But did I regret doing it? Of course not. If there's one thing that I learned from that experience is that it's taught me to hope. To hope for wonderful things to come. It may not be in the form of wealth, but it will be in the form of something that I will value and cherish. Health maybe. Or friends. Or in my case, love? (Hahaha, mushy na naman. LOL!)

People need to have a considerable (read: relative) amount of wealth to enjoy life. That is a fuck fact. But we shouldn't aim to have too much because we might end up neglecting all of the other things that make life worth-living. So what makes MY life worth-living? Hmmmmm... Let me count the ways:

1. The support of my friends. I am not blessed with a perfect life, that's why I am so thankful to my crazy yet caring friends for making my life bearable.

2. When my dad gives me the Sunday newspaper. That's his way of showing affection to me. He knows how much I love reading the news (especially the entertainment section, haha) that's why he never fails to buy newspaper on Sundays especially when he knows I'd pay them a visit. And his warm, genuine smile everytime I'd sleep in their bed. Priceless.

3. A kiss and an 'i love you' from my favorite niece. I know that I shouldn't play favorites but she's really the one closest to me! Hehe. She's the youngest amongst all my pamangkins and I love it when she hugs me and kisses me everytime I visit her - it makes me forget about my problems, even just for a day. :)

4. My mom's sermons about life and love. We recently had a talk about my life and she's given me good, practical advise about certain things. I am so thankful to have a mom as smart and as tough as her.

5. Quality time with my **SS. He cares for me like no one else does. The way he smiles at me, the way he reaches for my hand, the way he takes care of me. Hayyyyy. :-) I'll stop na before I make you guys puke because of my mushiness. Hahaha!

** Special Someone

BILLS! BILLS! BILLS!

I ran alot of errands and paid aLOT of BILLS today! Yes, with growing up comes the ever-growing bills! And they never stop from growinggggggg! Ha!Ha!

I started my day early and went to City Hall to pay my Real Property tax. Sounds so mature, right? LOL. Good thing I was number 1071 so I really didn't have to wait long for my turn.

After City Hall, I went to the bank to pay my monthly amortization for my 30-sq. meters of heaven. And then I paid for my insurance and my electricity bill too! Whew! WTF ever happened to Meralco?! My bill doubled since this March! I hate SUMMER errrr or should I say I hate Meralco!?

I feel like such a responsible adult today. No matter how tired I was feeling, no matter how hot the sun was shining this morning,  I felt good and fuzzy inside.

I loved playing house when I was little, but it's more fulfilling to play house now that I have my own 'house' (well it's not really a house, y'know! It's more like a unit or flat or whatever shit you call this 30-sq. meters of awesomeness).  And because I paid alot of bills today, I promised myself not to go out this weekend so I can save whatever little money I have left. I don't shit money after all, you know! Hahaha!

Who wants to play house with me this weekend?


The Unpure Single Nester,

P.S.: I saw these ballot boxes on my way out of City Hall and I felt like I just need to remind you guys to VOTE WISELY!


:)
