Greetings of Love in Christmas

Wow its been a while since my last blogged, its either I'm just busy or I'm just too lazy... hehehehe anyhow well I'm back.

See how fast time flies, we go there,  we do that, we process this, we complete that and before we knew it another year has completed, its Christmas once again, were stepping on into another year. The season that everyone is busy from shopping, buying gifts, preparing foods to serve,  joining parties, reunions and other Christmas activities. The only down side is traffic jam and as in super heavy traffic jam the usual 1hr travel time will take you 2 up to and half hour.. arrrrggggg its so irritating. And oh one more thing it drains my wallet.. hehehehe

However, most of us still looking forward for this occasion, thou there are some who just consider this day as just ordinary day due to their own reasons like religous belief, or something bad  might had happened to them and took it as a reason to not celebrate this day. But still no matter what everyone is hoping for a great Christmas or great day and to make this day a happy day for each and everyone. Besides this the season to be jolly.. falalalala lalala.. hehehe well honestly that is true coz this is the moment to feel good with our family, friends, relatives and people around us. 

Unfortunately, for some of our country man specially in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City, Philippines who has been struck by typhoon "sendong" during this Christmas celebration as many lives were lost, houses crashed down, means of living are gone, and some hope may have gone too... ours, your country man, my prayers and condolences I am personally praying for every one's fast recovery. Thou this not only addresses to them but also who are also victims of other calamities and mishaps in life.

Through this where ever you are, who ever you are, what ever you believed in still please allow me to spread the spirit of Christmas, of love, hope, peace and faith. May the Heavenly Father see us all and bless us with His great love and affection, to answer our prayers and help us to be strong. NO MATTER WHAT, ALWAYS BELIEVED AND KEEP THE FAITH!

MERRY MERRY BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO ALL. GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

1 year after...

... Ive never thought Id be so stressed like this, considering im just working in jp for only 1 year I feel so tortured, used, so lifeless unlike with my previous companies were I enjoyed my stay. Arrrgggg our clients/customers are so demanding but most are puerile, hostile and rude like haler are you new? come on! Further more there are lots of matrix to meet, requirements to complete and customers to satisfy.

    I've been in customer service for about 7 years, unfortunately doing the same thing  talking over the phone, trying to fulfill the clients issues and by the end of the shift im so tired and fed up, everyday Ive been always looking forward for the end of the shift even thou the work had just started. Sometimes no matter how patience I gave madness easily comes out of me.

   But then thou I've been dealing with hostiles by the end of the day I'm so thankful that every half of the month there's is something that comes in my bank account that keeps me alive and provide my needs while some dont have or having hard time finding one. Setting that aside what's most important is I have friends at work that I'm more happy to be with, but moving on I wish I do things I really wanna do or something that I will be happy.. heavenly father please help and bless me.

   I am not asking for a very high position or a glamorous job as these will demand high price of your time and energy.. something that I will be happy, satisfied and proud of, im already so tired and stressed I want this oput of my life.. as in now!!!

   Work hard, push more, positive, positive, positive, positive, positive.....

First "rainy" night run

               I came, I run, I finished the Energizer night race. I maybe alone, yes I'm literally alone during the run but I am so fulfilled, this is what I really felt after I completed the Energizer night race last November 5, 2011 at Bonifacio Global City. This night run was my first night run and actually just the second run I had joined in my entire life coz as much as I want to join unfortunately my work schedule doesn't allow me, so when I heard about this I said I will definitely be there.    

                Being part of this race is just a sliver of giving back all the blessings I received because this race is not only to run but this run is for a cause, in benefits of GMA Kapuso Foundation. Energizer organized the race to give hearing aids to Kapuso Foundation's indigent beneficiaries but are worth helping for. Even thou I was soaked in wet due to rain (rain water felt good on my skin fortunately it did not rain hard), then my legs hurt after as I actually don't have actual preparation, still I rate it 4 out of 5 for me it was a great feeling, a heartful experience.

<<Energizer Night Run for a cause held at Bonifacio Global CIty last Nov. 5, 2011 >>

<<Starting lane, waiting for the gun shot that started by 7 pm

              >>My race number is 30079







<<With my headlamp on, its one of the items inside the race bag


                    >>Program and party after the race

<<Singlet

   >>3K Run route map





                     

                       As I really don't run my result is a bit longer below is my personal result thou actually I thought it will gonna take me an hour to complete a 3k run, happily not. Activities, games, program followed after the race but I was not able to stay longer because still have work that night so have to leave early. Since I'm already so wet have to go and change before I catch a cold.

                      Well I hope there would be more night race so I can join or I hope I can have a schedule that will allow me to join runs.

My Kitchen Designs

Kitchen and dining designs, arrrgg so nice to look at, lovely to dream, ambitious... since I got the house (thou its only row house type) and we've moved in I've been dreaming and planning on what kitchen and dining design it will be. I saw these kitchen designs I love it, I like,  I want it.

How I wish I have big house with a big space for a spacious kitchen  unfortunately I only have a very limited lot of 46 sq meters... so I look for some designs that will fit my space and here are some pictures I found.

 

 

If none of this can be fulfilled I'm hoping that even my own simple plan I can execute it just needed finance to complete it.  Well I cant stop looking into these pictures and other pictures on net,  dreaming that  my house will have one of these designs. Lotto let me win hehehehe

Hell's Kitchen

 

Hell's Kitchen is an American reality-television cooking competition (based on a series of the same name, broadcast in the UK) broadcast on Fox. It is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and produced by Daniel Kay. The format of the program is similar to the United Kingdom version, with a red team and a blue team competing in various cooking challenges for most of the season; once the number of remaining contestants is reduced to five (or six in seasons 4-8), the two teams combine to become a single black team and compete individually.*

Chef Gordon Ramsay

This show really speaks out its title.. I love this program, I am not chef or anything related to cooking or food but I really enjoy watching this program. From the food they cook and prepare, to the team work, to the word fight of the contestants, up to the full boiling point of drama inside the kitchen. To make the program more interesting is the celebrity chef host Gordon Ramsay, chef that you will never miss as he is always on top of his game and on top of his voice, well literally,  specially during the kitchen open, its when they already serving their guest with the menu of the day. Chef Gordon is someone who is not afraid to speak out and tell the contestants in their face how their work is, well for sure he's not doing that because he would like to degrade the contestants but more than that he corrects them to bring out the best in them. Most of the time he's really shouting, bursting out his lungs in frustration with the contestant's work, well not only in this program but also in other shows he's into he's the only chef  I've seen who's always seems shouting.  Hmmmmm I wonder how long does he's like this, and would this be the cause of the lines in his face... hehehe peace chef.

In connection with this, my brother is taking up HRM and somehow it gives me an idea and a sliver peak on how the world of aspiring chefs maybe in atleast in one of the fields he may fall, I just hope that his chef will not be as hell as chef Gordon.

Morethan, there is something in this shows that lures me into it and I may say that this really makes me smile. Aspirings restaurateur, future cooks and chefs must watch this program and learn to fight over professionally their future head chef's wrath.

Be ready, be strong and ready to step in the Hell's Kitchen.

Children of our Time

Mishka, Jouie, Jessy, Lyca (named in order)... Gaerlan's nieces arrrggg so cute, so adorable, so funny but so playful and sometimes a big headache. These four all came in a span of 3 years all from the same parents respectively 2 each, it seems that my brothers is on the race on creating one.... hehehehe. Well but these girls are all so loved and full of care not only from their parents but also from us, their tito and tita and grandparents. As much as we can they have treats from us but not to the point of spoiling them.

Sisters baby Lyca and ate Mishka

Sisters baby Jessy and ate Jouie

As one of the famous quotes says "Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate." So much true the two older nieces so smart that they easily grab and learn things easily, they were able to imitate things, words, actions in a matter of 2-3 repetitions and when you saw them doing it, ah you will really laugh out loud, they really are a stress reliever. Further as much as possible we only let them show that are good and right.

Mishka is the eldest and already going to school were my mom teaches and I may say that she's a fast learner. Every day she have new songs and new words to boast about.. soooooooooo talkative, mataray but so bungisngesera, sometime oh actually most of the time we always fight, as this kid want to get what she wants sadly have to teach her a lesson so we end having a cat fight, hehehe . Well that's her alone, then here comes Jouie, as being called by her dad Jouie boy as this baby lass act like a macho, hehehe as she grew up playing with boys with her cousins (mother side), so curious ask a lot of things, and an observant. Well what's the worst with this two... when they come together its a CHAOS.... but it brings smile to our face.

Mishka and Jouie playing

Now with the two little ones Jessy and Lyca, well nothing so much for now their past time is to cry out loud as in literally loud.... and every time I/we see this two I cant stop my self pinching them especially their legs, as what they call it CRISPY PATA, hehehehe arrrggggggggggggg kagigil talaga.

Two little ones Jessy and Lyca

Jouie and Mishka

In few months time the first Gaerlan's nephew is about to join us here... my brother named the baby Jared Mjolnir Luke C. Gaerlan, I dont now what comes to the mind of my brother and named him Mjolnir, which is the name of Thor's hammer. Well what ever is just cant wait for my nephew, just be praying for good health and save delivery.


Children are our most valuable treasure... so no matter what at the end of the day this children do make sure they bring smile into our face.

The power of forgiveness

Blogging is such a great way to speak up your mind about everything and that is something I'm about to do.

Just two days ago at work, while taking calls (hehehehe) I read in CNN.COM a story of a man who had killed a pastor's wife and put the pastor in great psychological disability. But what caught my attention the most is the other side of the story, the story of how the daughter of the victim forgive the suspect. Many for sure will ask how can you forgive the person who killed your loved ones and shattered your family? But Rebecca Nicholson (daughter of the victims), DID. Forgiveness may be easy to read, easy to describe but actually it is such a hefty word, that's hard to do in action.

According to the article Rebecca was only 10 years old then when the incident happened now she's 41 yrs/old. For some if this happens to them for sure it will be hard for them to find forgiveness and offer it to the person who had done something wrong to you. But what so specially with this story is on how Rebecca already forgive Harris (Rebecca's parents killer) dispite of the effects of the killings done to her family, you could say that its really a tragic. However Rebecca didnt live in pain and darkness as she never kept any hatred against Harris, but she had given him her forgiveness, forgiveness that free her from any anxiety, worries and stress, she is even blessed.


The September 11, Sunday mass' homily is about forgiveness, Gospel of Mt 18:21-35 discussed forgiveness. Its says, Peter approached Jesus and asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive? As many as 7 times?" Jesus answered, I say to you not even seven times but seventy-seven times. Wow isnt it too much? Actually not as the Lord God had forgave us of our sins so who are we not to throw forgiveness to people who hurt, sin against you or worst did something horrible. Furthermore this attitude not only blesses the oppressor but more to you as it gives you peace of mind, pure happiness and the fact that you listened and kept on listening to God's words.

Well what am I trying to say here.... probably as much as you can forgive, forgive, forgive and you will be forgiven too when its time for you to forgive.


Thank you for your time...

An itchy feet

...Not because of dirty feet or stinky feet but my feet are itching to go out and be on the road to my next destination.

When 2011 comes in I planned to do domestic tours, visit numbers of Island, swim at beaches,set foot on a mountain's peak, thankfully I was able to do it all. It is such a great feeling every time I go and visit beautiful places and provinces here in the Philippines, it free me from all the stresses in this world!!!!

Taytay Falls

 My planned trips includes hiking, swimming at the beach, provincial tours, plus falls discovering... hehehe well its actually not in my to do list but lately I'm getting interest in getting massage by the falls flowing down so I added it up on my to do list. I had scheduled each and every trip thou some just pops up and the next thing I know I'm already there. Sometimes impromtu is much better as it do come true.

I've been touring with different buddies depending who is available to accompany me, off course most are friends. With this activities I'm wanting to have a family tour too unfortunately conflict with our work schedules stops us from doing this but then I have a high hope that we will be able to and for sure it will be a great one.

Boracay Aklan

There are a lot of wonderful , undiscovered, untouched places here in the Philippines that is needed to be discovered, to be visited, to enjoy and be thankful for. Bearing in mind that we MUST NOT ABUSE and DESTROY it, we have to keep its beauty. There are 7,107 islands I am not even on atleast 1/3 of this island but sure enough I did  enjoy my every trip.

Coron Palawan

 Now towards the end of the year I'm planning to do some more traveling or atleast Island traveling just within Luzon since I no longer have any vacation leave so I have to do things during my restdays. No matter what the reason I will conquer those heights, sea and Land.

Mt. Batulao

Hence, I'm amazed and continuously being owed as if its my first time to see such view. Thank you Heavenly Father Lord God for all of this wonderful gift of nature, for blessing the Philippines with such great treasure. However we are sorry if we taking advantage of it, we tend to forget giving importance and care to your creations but we are asking you Father to help us to make things better and to take care your wonders. Mountains to hike, beaches to dive, Island to discover, provinces to visit, Fiestas to experience and whole lot more to do... all in my list.

After my domestic tours I am planning Asia Tour for year 2012. See you on the road. Have a safe trip!

Please dont ruin your dignity with your broken promises...

Hindi ako marunong magalit
Hindi ako marunong mgsalita ng masama
Hindi ako marunong hindi ako marunong...

pero pag-umabuso na wala na ang "hindi ako marunong"

I hate people who are not getting true w/ their promises all lies all words... Nakuha mo ang perang hinihiram mo ng wala pang 24oras, I even told you that that is already  my last money but because of your stories ( I dont even know if its true) I still lend it to you with your promises that you'll return it immediately, sadly it was already about 3 months but still -- broken promises. 

Ive been good to you, Ive shared you even the last cent in my pocket... but what happened ha? You know what ehat makes me feel so bad is the fact that your making me look stupid ako n etong tumulong sayo. Madali lang naman akong kausap kung hindi mo kayang bayaran ng buo sabihin mo we can make a deal, hindi ako taong walang puso na di marunong umintindi ng sitwasyon pro wag mo lang akong gagaguhin, wag k n lang mgsabi ng mga pangako kung di mo nman kayang tuparin your just making me stessed. 

But despite of this stressed and worries Ive actually learned something, not to the point n hindi n ako tutulong, sadly wala ata sa bokabularyo ko ang hindi tumulong ewan ko b, misyon ko n ata un... but jst atleast I learn how to balance things and dont give everything I have no matter what it is... I know I had said something may had hurt or offended you, thou honestly I dont regret it coz I really have to for you to know how I feel buti nga pigil p nga yang mga sinabi ko (as I said in my opening line).  

Im praying that things get fine both for you and me, unfortunately for you THIS WILL BE THE LAST N MAGAGAWA MO E2 SA AKIN!!!

haiz pagpalain k nawa...............
