I don’t really know what to feel right now. I went to office this morning knowing that we had a visitor from Manila office and going to do the monthly report, that’s it. But what happened next was out of my expectation.

The next thing I knew is that most of my officemates are jobless right know. And me? I have two options, first accept my new job in Manila (same position I have right now) or get my separation pay. And I was just given 1 hour to decide!!! Yes, 1 hour! I don’t even know if I should feel happy knowing that I still have a job if ever I will sign to accept it but knowing that most of my officemates are jobless and don’t even know if we ever see each other again just make me feel sad.

Life is hard. Sometimes you just have to make a decision. All I have to do now is wait when we are leaving this comfortable life to go in Manila.

I will definitely enjoy my vacation in Bora this coming Sunday and treasure the time that Ritz and I will spend together for the last time.

What do I expect from myself now that I have turned 29? I'm thankful that I've reached another milestone in my life. But, seriously I don’t even feel that I’m 29 already. I just know that next year I’ll be turning 30! But, does age really matter? Well, not for me. Lots of people are telling me that I should get married and have a baby. But personally, I’m not even pressured of my age and I think that 29 are still young. Maybe I also think of me walking down the aisle but I want to do that wherein I’m so sure that I’m ready and I’m sure that the man I will marry is the man that I love. Not only that I love him but most importantly am that, that man loves me too with all of his heart and that he’s ready to surrender himself fully to me. Now that’s a love story! lol

So how do I celebrate my birthday? I celebrated it with my friends. We ride in a disco bump car (yes bump car! we are still a child at heart), watched the movie What Happens in Vegas – we enjoyed watching this movie, really love it – and eat lots of food. I really enjoyed!

June 15 is not only special to me but for every father’s in the world since June 15 is also celebrating Father’s Day. To all father’s out there…Happy Father’s Day!!!

Also many thanks to the Internet Marketing Department and Content Department for celebrating my birthday with me before my big day...

To all my family and friends who greeted me…Thank You!!!

I guess I could say that this is my favorite song of all songs. I don’t even know why, it’s just that whenever I hear this song..it goes to my heart and makes me alive and it feels different. I can listen to this song the whole day, mind you.

I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
who holds my heart

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,

I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times to gether,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)

I'd rather have bad times with you (surely),
than good times with someone else (surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah),
than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart (you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoooo.....who holds my heart

Today is the most special month and day of my life. I will be celebrating my birthday today. Fortunately my birthday falls Sunday this year together with Father’s Day, so I have all the time in the world to celebrate it. My first celebration was at the office yesterday together with my other officemate and she’s a girl, too. Much younger than me though. We had fun and lots of food was served. Everyone was so delighted since they had a free snack again; this makes my officemates alive, having a free snacks/food.

I don’t have any party at home since I decided to celebrate it with my closets friends, I don’t know yet where or what restaurant we are going to eat. But I definitely want to enjoy this day, so probably watching a movie and do some joyful activities with my friends will do. Too bad my best friend is not here to join my celebration since she’s in Qatar and will be coming home next year. At night I will celebrate my birthday with my Mom.

As for my last celebration, it will be in Bora on June 22-24! And it’s only been a week from now. I can’t wait for my Bora trip. But for now…it’s time to celebrate my birthday, today!!!

It’s Father’s Day again.

Happy Father’s Day to all daddy’s out there. To my one and only loving father who’s in God’s heaven now…happy father’s day, daddy.mwuaahhh!!!

For those of you whose father’s are still with you…Treat them well and let them feel that they are well loved and respected.

Since Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 15, there’s no reason for us/you not to celebrate it. You can plan your celebration together with your whole family or you can even surprise your father’s on this day. Some might celebrate it going to restaurants or malls and some can just celebrate it inside of their homes, but what ever kind of celebrations you’ll have just make it wonderful and perfect. If you will happen to celebrate Father’s Day at home why not treat your Dads the whole day starting from a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner and don’t forget desserts, too! How about a couple of beers, too, sounds good, aren’t it?

Well let me give you very delicious recipes from MSN.com that you can prepare for this very special day.

Breakfast: Blueberry Pancakes with Warm Blueberry Sauce

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoon(s) water
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
• 3 1/2 cup(s) blueberries
• 5 tablespoon(s) sugar
• 2 teaspoon(s) fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1 3/4 cup(s) buttermilk
• 4 tablespoon(s) butter or margarine melted

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place cookie sheet in oven.

• Prepare pancakes: In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and remaining sugar. Stir in buttermilk, butter, and eggs just until flour mixture is moistened. Stir in remaining berries.
• Lightly grease griddle or nonstick 12-inch skillet; heat over medium heat until very hot.
• Drop batter by 1/4 cups onto hot griddle, spreading batter gently to make 4-inch rounds. Cook pancakes 2 to 3 minutes. (Pancakes are ready to turn when batter begins to set, bubbles start to burst, and edges look dry.)
• Turn pancakes over, using a wide spatula. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, until puffy and undersides are a rich golden brown. Transfer pancakes to cookie sheet in oven; keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining batter, greasing griddle if needed. Serve pancakes with blueberry sauce.
