reconnecting with Em

I just got a call from a batch mate in High School who now lives in Portland, Oregon. Gee, it is so great to chat with her. She saw me through one batch mate and here we are, reconnecting and talking again. Who would have thought that Em and I are here in the United States now. We are both from the Philippines.

In our two hours of chatting, she mentioned that she is on this Herbalife Bizworks as one of her sources of income. Wow, I just can't believe that she is into business much more Herbalife Retail Websites these days. I remember her to be so shy then, so never would I think of her to be a business woman; and she seems to be good at it, too. She even encouraged me to check out Herbalife Weight Loss Challenge Websites since I told her that I am trying to shed some pounds. Em said that Herbalife WLC Website may give me a lot of information about all the nutritional weight loss products in the market today. Hmm, not a bad idea right? I am going to check it out one of these days.

Anyways, I am really happy to be reconnect with her again. Geez, it has been more that 20 years since High School days and hey, we're still here. There is a Silver Jubillee Reunion of my High School Batch brewing on two years from now. So I hope all the plans will push through with God's blessings for I would love to see my batch mates again. It would be grand for sure. Thanks, Em and it was so nice to talk to you again. Hope to chat with you again soon.

de-stressing myself

Hubby and my little girl at Panglao Island in Bohol, Philippines. (2007)

The above picture portrays peace and tranquility; and that's what I need right now. I will keep looking at this picture to de-stress me. Actually I am just missing my family and friends back in the Philippines, that's why I am going through all the pictures of them right now. I hope and pray that we can visit them again in the near future. I am truly looking forward for our next trip there. With God's blessings... Have a beautiful day everyone!

so stressed out...


Just so stressed out lately! I have a lot of things in my mind that I want to do; and I want to get results right away. Impatient me and I know that's not good! I know I have to work them out and start with a single step, right? Please God, endow me with a lot of patience these days. I truly need it. Heaps of it. And thank you for always listening to me...

my girl will be in school soon...



Hubby and I are hoping that we can get our little girl in Holy Spirit Catholic School. She's going to be in Kindergarten this September. We have heard good things about this school from hubby's workmates. With the fact that said school is near hubby's work (about two minutes away); and that it gears toward Catholic values and education, we believe that it is really perfect for our bug.

We already have the admission kit and we are working on it right now. Sheesh, there are a lot of required supporting documents (birth certificate, baptismal certificate, immunization records, health recommendation from a physician, etc.) which goes with it! Hopefully we can get them all together within this month.

Wow, I really can't believe that my bug will be in school soon. That means I am getting old, hahaha! I just hope and pray that she will do well in school as she is doing well here at home with all our Pre-K stuffs. I am sure she will love it! Have a good one all!

yes, I can!

Now that I am done with citizenship, I am really hoping that I can get a driving permit within this month. Gee, looking at the more than a hundred pages of Texas Driving Handbook doesn't give me the motivation to study it. I have no other course though. I really have to do it so I can get on with this driving thing before my girl goes to school.

So that's my goal for this month. Study the driving handbook to pass the test and for me to have a driving permit. Then, I can go to a driving school (as what hubby and I agreed) and learn how to drive. And with God's blessings, I know I can do it! Yes, I can!

wishing my friend all the best!


Kate and I miss Arlyn and her little boy, LJ so much. She is my only friend here in San Antonio and too bad for me for they moved to Germany last month. Hubby and I and Kate are truly sad when they left but what can we do? Arlyn's husband has a better job offer there and they just can't help but take on that opportunity. Who wouldn't right? It will be grand for them and they will be able to check out Europe. How cool is that!

I just hope and pray that everything will work out well for them there. We miss them, yeah but I always wish them the best. Hey, time flies by so fast and I know they will be back here in no time. Have a good one all!
