10 things GOD won't ask =)

1... God won't ask what kind of car you drove; He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

2... God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home

3... God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.

4... God won't ask what your highest salary was, He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

5... God won't ask what your job title was, He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

6... God won't ask how many friends you had, He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

7... God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

8... God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character.

9... God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven and not to the gates of Hell.

10... God won't ask how many people you shared this to, He'll ask if you were ashamed to share it with your friends.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

Thanks Hardy.

MAPLE LEAF

we went to CIC yesterday (Te Dhel, Tams, George & I) to attend seminar on how to land a job in Canada with free assessment if we will qualify as an immigrant or as a Canadian foreign worker. All of us are very much willing to pursue the PSI option. we just have to pay the membership fee worth 6k to enable them to market our resumes and application in Canada since this branch is located there. CIC is their consultancy firm here. Maybe we'll settle things this week. Maple leaf became my fave leaf as of this moment.

Oh Canada.... Oh Canada! (repeat 3x)

manic monday

oh my God! what a start of the day! I run all the way from the street in front of LBC to the entrance of the zone. Super marathon! I had to get a tryke on a special price just to get in time to my work! And how lucky i was to reach just in time while the bundy is still humming it's alarm. So I was still hyper when I was in my seat.... Hay! Grabe! tomorrow i promised to leave home earlier than today. i had to add more time allowance for my travel. And I thank Him that I made it today! I won't take the risk anymore! It's very tenseful and expensive experience! Compare to the usual way....

I really hate traffic! Who doesn't anyway?

tensed Boss

i can see & feel that my boss is soooo tensed. i wish i could ease his pain... I know how hard it is for him to adjust to a new working environment lalo na sa age nya and lifestyle nya in the Phils. he's accustomed to pinoy traits, way of life. he enjoys here too much... lalo na sa night life. he's a night person. daddy don't go... hide ko kaya passport nya? watcha think?

Saying goodbye... will never be an easy task!

hi everyone! it's been awhile since my last blog. And i feel like telling everything that happened to me for the past week. i've been so bz that's y. but anyway, i'm here now... blabbing again. I'm emotionally down right coz the person i love and the people that i love to be with will go far away from me soon. I can't stop crying when I learned that my super-bait boss will be assigned to another country, and that i'll have to be cautious again to the new boss, another adjustments, new system, another approach... in short another life stage @ work. I super get used to my boss that i can call him daddy during "joodan desu" times . I can ask his help whenever there are urgent requests from the production that I have to negotiate with japs or malays. He was the one who pursued Malaysia and Japan travel. He was also the one who wanted us to learn some more Japanese language and their culture. He opened a lot of opportunities for me. There were hardships dealing with him when he has "toyo" that I curses at his back at times when I cannot handle pressures well. There were kuringgian moments with Tams.

What i could not forget about him is during mornings when he enters office one-eye-close coz he naps in the car starting from his condo up to office. He only sleeps 3~4 hours everyday. We have to "make pansin" his face and ask "y Sir, Y one eye close? No sleep again?" And then he would only smile while counting the hours of sleep with his fingers. That always starts our day here. hay life... i really hate goodbyes... it makes me cry talaga.

He broke the news just this afternoon, he asked me to keep it secret until Monday. Maybe he would discuss it during morning management meeting. but my officemates were quite suspicious because I would really cry whenever I go out from his office after learning it. I could not suppress my emotions. Naubos ko nga ang tissue nya ei. And all the while he was only laughing yet his laughs are hollow. I can feel his sadness too. I don't know why pero there's a connection between us. I can see my grandfather-Tatay in him.

I'm not looking forward working on Monday. I think i'm gonna cry again. Waaaaaaahhhhhh! Gusto ko ibuhos lahat ng emotions ko. I don't wanna see someone special to me, leaving me behind. I don't want Daddy to go anywhere aside Philippines. I don't want a new boss if only for myself! I want Daddy, I want my lolo.!

How i wish i can do something good for him. Now that he's about to leave soon, i want him to feel special, to make feel that he's wanted and needed and loved.

I would never forget how great he was to me... as a boss, as a mentor, as a granddaddy, as a listener, as a moody person, as a smiling & friendly jap, as a Filipina-lover jap, as a cheeseburger meal and BIGMAC addict, as a beer and wine addict, as a great cook & great host, a HAAGEN DAZS ice cream vanilla flavored lover, has yes on 'BUMPERS", joker, a very nice person...

See you again daddy... hope you can visit us here... hope you'll be present on my wedding... God bless you!

And to a friend LGDC, God bless you also! I have high hopes for you! i know you'll be the best Accounting Manager that you can be. Soon-to-be-official-mare see you outside our mini-world here. You have my respect and love... no not your name... i mean my LOVE! Wahehehe!

To my soon-to-be-official-hubby, I love you so much! and i'll wait for you! Our dreams are now coming true. We have just to patiently wait until we're both ready. Take a lot of care. i hope i can still wake you up so you won't be late... i'm gonna miss those missed calls in the morning. Good luck and may God bless you and guide you. Always pray to the Lord. Amen....

tama na... haba na to super... baboosh! gotta go... darating na sundo ko... till next time....

Happily Broken

A family is a basic unit in a community. It consists of the father, mother and the kids. It has a very important role in a country. The family members especially the kids learn basic knowledge of life, earn his first and basic education, and knowledge of our Almighty Father.

When is the family suit to be complete? It is when the love, trust, respect, and loyalty binds them. And having one main goal to meet, which is to live a good life out of what they have, and to nurture their personal growth (career, love life, religious life). All the members must be cooperative, loving, and helping one another to fulfill the family’s basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. If all of these factors are present, a family can live happily and contented.

I, myself, have a family. But it is a happily-broken-one. I can say we are happy because I have my loving and thoughtful mother, my supportive stepfather, my two tough and dependable sisters, and my loveable brother, the youngest. I grew up having my Mom solely striving to give us a decent life. My grandfather I call Tatay supported us all the way. He provided what my mother cannot give and cannot do for us, being a father. I never looked for my real father until one day that I found in my heart that I have to meet him in person. I knew him as a person through the stories and memories of him only shared by my sisters and mother. I never accused any of my parents the way our family life had been. I’ve been very thankful that I grew up to be a tough and a strong person. I also did enjoy my childhood, and lived a normal life.

In my case, my biological father wasn’t much of a need. All the other members filled the emptiness of that part our lives. And if I am to compare my life with others who has a complete (in the real sense) family but has a father who beats them, I would never trade places with them. I think it would be better to end up the relationship f the parents if they can’t live peacefully together one roof. Because it will deeply affects the children, and will contribute much to their formative years. Children must grow in a loving and peaceful “home” that they can turn to and hide during their hurtful experiences in school, in a barkada group as a kid and to share with when they’re happy, when they’re up to something new.

Now who would like to be complete family with no peace at all, or in a harmoniously loving happily broken family? I can sense that your guess is as good as mine.

=**** toys for kids****=

Te Dhel, Phart Pau, Princess Bele and I went to SM yesterday after office hours. We went home early due to some office issues. So we took advantage of the extra time and shopped for Olin Rei's (my cutie little brat inaanak) birthday present. It took me soooooo looooooong before I could find something educational and enjoyable enough for a kid to appreciate and play with it. I could memorized catergorization of toy diplays in every corner, every racks. I couldn't think of something coz I settled my mind into giving her a Dora drum set, but considered it a little costly. So I ended up buying a huggable toy that lights up when you push the hidden button in the belly of the toy-baby. I just wish my inaanak would love it, as Pau assured me she definitely would.

If I were the kid I would love to receive gifts with brands such as Chicco, Fisher Price, Tomy and of course Mickey Mouse toys and the like.

2nd-time posting.... yippee!

WoW! I can't believe i'm really blogging! I'm at work now, a little too early to start so I guess I still have time to post something. Jay and I are sweetie-sweetie again since last nyt after 2days of silent war. It's a long story, he has point as always, and I have mine for sure.

Jay started his 2-week training yesterday as a prerequisite to his profession. So we don't see each other on mornings (changed routines just like what we used to do :( ....). So lots of muni-muni's on my way to work. Then he'll just have to get his ride to our office to fetch me in the evening, wo can spend quality time ---- chatting, arguing on things, eating, hugging and all that (ciempre pa kasama un noh! :) And he'll go home later at night around 11 ~ 12 pm.

I just hope yr 2008 will be a fruitful one for us. I had lots of plans for the whole season to make way for my big dreams!

Way to go!.....

...getting to know the blog-owner...

Ei there. I'm May Cenezero Maglasang, 3rd child of our family, just turned 26 last November 27. Am currently working as an office staff/secretary to the president and other top management personnel at times (lots of bosses huh!)/internal auditor cum auditee as well. I enjoy working yet gets tired during paydays that it seems (eto na un! times) too behind the average if I may consider the workload & stuff. I can also say that i'm bit a bit lucky that i got to travel to Malaysia to have picture in front of Petronas Towers, and Tokyo Japan to finally meet Mickey of Disney (which is the very first reason of Supplier's Visit, seconded by the requirement in accordance to ISO Standards that we are implementing and maintaining {though it's really so hard to be organized and all---lalo na if you're personal system of life doesn't follow! hayyyy!)}.

Well anyway aside from that I also want to say that I belong to a happily-broken-family. My father has his 2nd family first (which means I got additional siblings) and my Mom had hers too I think 8 years later which my 2 sisters and I got a loveable brother named Jade. I can say we are happily broken one coz I still enjoyed my childhood. I never felt the lack of a father (thanks to Tatay--- my grandfather (mom's Tatay). And If I may based my family to the others who are complete yet so complicated coz theirs' lacks of peace and contentment and love. The father is either has lots of vices or hurts the family physically and emotionally.

As for the love of my life, Jay, I just love the guy! So in love! This is the first time that I see forever! I had special relationships before, but those never satisfied my personal-being. Maybe because I was younger then, or maybe because I was not into it really. My hubby/babe/honey bunch met last October 2002. Ours started from a simple holding hands pa-sway sway pa factor! And the rest was history as they say. We plan to get married after after 2 or 3 years. He has to get onboard first and earn and save lots of money (me as well must contribute) to sustain a family life.

...We'll that's it... that's the shortened story of my life... Big Dreams will follow soon....
