Nice, really nice long weekend… It was thanksgiving in the US last Thursday and yesterday I was on-leave. Longing for this long weekend and I am just savoring every single minute of it. No other scheduled expensive gimiks except for a much needed visit to friend dentist yesterday to undergo a root-canal process in one of my upper molars. I still have to go back to him next week to finish the process. Visiting a dentist was untimely and out-of budget considering that it’s one of those “ber” months and I’ve allotted my savings on a very special thing which you would know about it in the coming weeks. Good thing that I got a good deal as in “Presyong kaibigan talaga!”, as compared to the rates I got from the surveys I have done on several dental clinics.
Speaking of savings, it was January this year that started to keep 10-peso coins and drop it in a coin bank that I got like 7-years ago in an exchange gift. The size of the coin bank is comparable to a middle-size tin-can of babies’ milk. As of now it is 2/3’s filled and on my estimate, I would have a total savings of not less than P7K by the end of this year. Hmmm, not bad… and would start all-over again this January, maybe P20 bills?! But seems that coins are more exciting to keep… Haha
Monday would surely be a busy-busy day again. It’s really critical to work in a company that has online operations, competition is really very aggressive. It’s also the busiest season of the year for my work, as almost everyone’s rushing to buy things for their love ones and fill their own wish list. Hay, no vacation leave is allowed on December and I think I would be spending my Christmas and New Year’s Eve in the office. I would love to celebrate that time of year with my family… hoping for a miracle and a sweet announcement from the management on that note. Well I think I have to get used to it, that’s the downside of working in an American company and graveyard schedule. For now, all I can do is hope and pray for that good news…
Later… a blessed day to everyone!

Never been this sweet!
It was more than a month now when I turned 30 and was too lazy writing here in my blog. Hay, just want to rest and relax on a weekend. Just like now, not much in the mood to write still.
Anyway, just to give you updates. My birthday last month was more than okay. It was the first time I did celebrated my birthday very much awake at that exact moment of 12 Midnight but was on a conference call meeting with my bosses in the US. It was like after more than 5 years ago last time that I celebrated it in the corporate world. It was fun, it was wacky!
I was trying to keep it like a silent celebration, but there’s certainly no choice! Birthdays are posted on our bulletin board! Even a week before my birthday, there were already some friends who greeted me ahead and some even greet me everyday until that special day. What’s more is that the whole marketing team (including me) is really known to be wacky and loud in the office. You’ll just be surprise of ideas and “kalokohan” if it was your special day. Hay, I’ve been really surprise that they printed out birthday greetings and posted everywhere possible. There’s even one posted outside the office. Hala, my birthday has been broadcasted to everyone!
What other special thing I’ve had that day that my officemates are somewhat envious of?! Well, I got an iPod nano, Quicksilver shirt, some more couple of shirts and other stuff all from my bosses in the US. Hmmm, how sweet! Haha… sorry guys, I’ve just been spoiled by my bosses. I love my job and certainly enjoying it!
Hay, life at 30?! Seems interesting! More to come. My wish?! World peace! Have a great day!

Welcome to my New Blogsite!
Welcome to my new blogsite! For most of you have been a usual visitor of my blog in a community-friends site, I’ve just made a decision that probably would be a little wiser to jump into the new neighborhood of blogging! I hope you would still be a regular visitor and reader here at my new blogsite and still explore life with me.
30 and Beyond… Looking beyond the usual… explore life with me. My life, your life, our life. A Filipino Life...
