Patience

True, life indeed requires A LOT of patience. I would not be writing this blog now if I didn't have a problem having or getting it.

I am basically a very impulsive person and it has gotten me in far too many troubles. I just hope for the best!!!

Siem Reap Direct

Cebu Pacific will be flying Manila to Siem Reap direct starting on April 19, 2012. Wow, so exciting!!!

After mga 3yrs cguro in negotiations, natuman r jd! Way to go CEB PAC, explore Angkor Wat, explore Cambodia!!! :)

I do hope the flight will be sustained so that it'd still be there when and if I'd need it. I keep the faith.

Happy Monday, everyone!!!

Return

I just noticed that we're using for 2012 the same calendar we used in 2006. Wahhh, 2006 was not a good yr for me. Does this mean this yr won't be a good yr for me too? Wag nmn sana, I'll work on it!

Xin Nian Kuai Le!Gong Xi Fa Cai! Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!

HOME

I now accept that Cambodia will be my 2nd home. Please bless me Lord. They say home is where the heart is... ;)

I remember what Ms Arlene Beguerras in WIS Siem Reap told me on 2 April 2008 when I came for the job interview. I told her of my SG story. She said 'where ur heart is, there ur treasure will be'. Wow, I'm gonna cry n jd Lord. Coz I love my experience in KH so much.

I just keep the faith!!!

Demanding

Demanding daw ko maong di nya ko gusto. Cge, bahala ka sa buhay mo. I'll get on with my life. Jia you to us all!!!

New Year 2012

I want to start this year right so as early as now, I'm trying to do things right in my life. Good luck to me!!!

I wanna get married this year so let's see if I'll be successful. I'll give it my best :)

3rd Batch

I'm gonna have my 3rd batch of visitors soon. Wow, since November I've been receiving visitors. This is a preparation for what, Lord?

I would have had a visit from Nev in end January of last year. But he backed out of it. So now I want to start the new year right. If I have special visitors soon, I'd be really happy...

Happy New Year everyone!!!! :)

Busy

I have been really busy these days. I've never been this busy in recent times. Hahay, life!

I teach 9 classes at school then I have to go home every weekend. This semester in particular is busy coz of the Christmas holidays in it and due to the fact that I went to Manila during my semestral break. I never felt any break, huhuhu!

Another thing is that I'm trying to write a proposal for a possible PhD in UU. Have been really busy the past 2wks I never got to revising some of it. Actually only a few corrections are needed but then, things have been really hectic at school --I was asked to join the CAS Faculty Choir this year. Practice mi till 8pm or sometimes even later.

Then my sister is coming home on the 14th pohon. I have to prepare the house coz 2 of our friends are coming over. Hay, when will I ever have time to breathe???

Good night, everyone!!!

Christmas 2011

I've only had 3 Christmases outside the country --in NL in 2000 where I saw snow for the first time in my life, in SG in 2005 and in PP in 2009. Christmas 2000 was with the Pinoys ila Jun and Jenny sa Sunneke. They gave each of us a poinsettia as Christmas present. Then on the 27th mn siguro to we left for our Italy trip na. Christmas 2005 I was in Singapore alone. I distinctly remember that I received my letter for academic warning on the mail just before going to church. I went for Holy Mass at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd in downtown Singapore on Christmas Eve then I took the bus home. Si Bishop Nicholas Chia officiated the mass then. The next day I went to the NUS Computer Centre but closed mn diay kay holiday lagi ang Pasko. I got a message from Ate Gigi then on the bus home. When I got home in Clementi, I think I slept lang and I woke up to Preeti's call. I went to Harbourfront in the afternoon and Yuka called me up then. There was an adolescent Singaporean diay nga namaligya ug ice cream coz they are facing financial hardships daw. I admire that kid; I do hope he's successful now. Christmas 2009 I was with our Pinoy barkada in PP. We had a very nice Christmas party in school also. Nalingaw jud ko atos apple-eating contest. I was wearing my green dress then nga naay lingin2 :) This Christmas was different from all the others indeed. Coz I got so busy in preparation for my visitors' coming, I got sick before Christmas. Sila Janet and Dexter mn to ang nangari. La koy nasimbahan sa Misa de Gallo. Mao ni ang panahon sa Sendong (Washi) in CDO. I bought my HP Note this time pud nga dihay pakapin nga payong. That laptop would eventually be stolen in June 2012 with my Sun broadband stick kay busy lagi ko kaju atos padala nga land title ni Lorna Amrinto. Kay nangutang mn sila diris Pinas nya akoy gipautang in their name. Never again n jud ko lagi ato. And then Christmas just came and went just like that. Till next Christmas. Good luck, Doki! :)

Refresher Course

I am excited for the ISS Refresher Course due to take place at UP Diliman on 23 October to 4 November. Actually it has a sidetrip to Tagaytay for a few days so that's what I'm really excited about. But as life would have it, I have MANY things to do first before I can go there. Himo pa ko grado and after that, pwede na lupad! All the best to me! On this refresher course, I met Henky Widjaja, Agapitus Haridhanu and Endang Lestari from Indonesia. Si Madon and Mam Jessica Uy pud were also participants of this course. I met Teresa Jopson and Josephine Sanchez diay pud in this course oi, as well as Kaira Alburo and Regina Estorba-Macarandang. Sila Loes Keysers and Jeanette Pocock man ang leaders for this course. One Sunday, they treated us to lunch at Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay and we had a tour of Taal Church in Batangas also at the end of this course while we were on our way back to Manila. I remember that I gave money at this time for Biboy's educational field trip to the South of Metro Manila. Mao ni panahona nga gihurot jud kuno nija ang mga rides sa Enchanted Kingdom. God bless us all!

Small World

We know some or a few people in common coz it's a small world. But why are we not in touch??? I am not in touch with those guys anymore for my own reasons. Now what's gonna happen to me??? Good luck, Doki! :)

Ask

I just got to thinking today... where does my heart belong? Does it belong here in Cebu City, Singapore, Phnom Penh... where????

Mao n ni gidangatan sa tawong paag2... God bless us all! :)

Oregon State

After a thorough look at universities in Oregon, I found Applied Economics program in Oregon State. Wow. I plan to apply for next year pohon but I asked them if I still have to do the GRE. Lisud mn gud and mahal pud.

I'm gonna wait till the end of this month though for Prof Falter's decision, UniGe. I pray for the best. Asa lng gd ko ibutang sa Ginoo. God bless us!
