First Birthday Coming Up

fiona — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 02:40:34 GMT

Oh, its been a while since i last log in here...nah its been years actually but seems like only yesterday. im quite surprised that mostly the last updates were on 2007, im kinda sad because no updates means no interests are coming from any of the members anymore. but anyway, i might as well turn this site to my own personal use soon but of course i have to ask their permission first before going on.

So where am i after all these years? nothing new happened actually in my work and in my family, except that iv come to love a dog finally. this little rascal is called patricia. shes the most adorable creature iv ever met and have. she is the youngest in our family now simply because we consider her as our baby. sometimes i can see her smiling up at me or maybe im just imagining it but the possibility is there, our naked eyes just cant see it through up front. :) but deep in my heart i know she is because i feel for her. :) we are kinda connected, you see.

She's been with us since february of this year, how time flies so fast cuz her first birthday is coming up soon. im getting edgy, i want her first birthday a memorable one. but i feel that if i have to organize an event this serious i have to come up with ideas which will sell. of course i have this wish that her visitors are all doglovers and should have at least one dog with health card . i love the idea of having a dog show and treats to be served as prizes just for fun.and the idea that her first birthday will be done in a big open venue may it be in a field or in a beach.oh well, these are my own wishful thinking that i hope will push through...

what entry name?

fiona — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:39:27 GMT

Today is fun for me. I enjoyed every hour I spent at the office until me, donning and jenny called it a night after watching a movie-tagalog film. It started with a chat from sir Nilo who just celebrated his bday today. Ebing was talking to him over the phone and passed it to donning then to me. Sir Nilo will always be sir nilo. Will always be a panicky, i guess for life. I only teased him about Ebing not telling me about her wedding plans and it was only through him that iv known. I could just imagine his face when he thought he blew Ebings secret. hehehe...but actually, all of us at the office knew about this, but since their wedding will be held in Cebu and with around 50 guest only, it was kinda private and somehow a little bit "secret?" -nah, i dunno. But anyway that was how it sounded, that he invited me to eat at their house on Agust during the wedding but when I told him that I dont know anything about the wedding he just sounded just like him! haha

Then came the talks, chitchat, banter of words with my seatmates that are kinda healthy for me because these days I rrreeeeallly needed the laugh for I am starting to doubt that wrinkles are starting to appear between my eyebrows now. Oh gosh, how can it be? I just turned 35 just rrrrrEeecently! Anyway, i did have an output of 3, thanks to Ebings' Tpostings.

Afternoon came, there was a brownout and I was laughing hard cuz I was enjoying that I was the only one who have a psp with speakers and all that for all of them to hear my songs and games made me tumbling down. (uhm, im just exagerating). Arnold can relate with my feelings. hehe. Then donning started her amateur video capturing. It was on this act that I heard for the first time = Arnolds LOL! He laughed so hard and loud when donning banged herself during her video coverage. She never saw what was coming when she suddenly laughed and accidentally banged her forehead on her desk. Next: we were called at the managers office for a meeting. hmm... if only I have the video we did, it was so hilarious! Arnold kept telling us that we didnt fit in the screen when we tried to be focused from donnings video take. Manager was not around that time. But we have a take in which that I am sure my best acting will sell online. I looked and acted like scrat. ohhhh...i am looking forward to ice age movie again...scrat-scrat-scrat.ha-ha

Sometime this month I will have to post the video or I will force donning to post it here. Oh-oh, its past my bedtime now, got to go now. Sleep here I come! tah-tah!

Parable Of The Pencil - Pencil story

fiona — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:49:15 GMT

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."

"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

Something To Say Bout Sir Nilo-Testimonials

fiona — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 16:45:02 GMT

It was on April of 2004 that sir Nilo came first here in GenSan. I remember how we were called for a general meeting and met our brand new manager. As a newcomer, sir Nilo pulled it off nice, feeding us with his anecdotes and kept us smiling all throughout.

It was not easy for him im sure for the first few days, for we seldom see him get inside our turf. But after settling down in a month, we got to see him more and more. Became visible and all. But anyway, all my memories of him started actually when we had our exam in 2005. He forced us to take the reviews and made it possible for a high rate of passers in our branch. 3 from gensan got in the top 10 ranking. His effort paid off afterall when the second round of exam came and all of us passed with flying colors.

And then 2006 came, this year all my memories were focused on the activities we've done. It was full and festive and fun. The best of all the rest was when we celebrated our anniversary? I forgot the date, gosh, dont ask me bout dates, kept forgetting the damn calendars anyway..hihihi... remember how we were grouped into three and our group was called the YELLOW INDIANS. The memories of it will never be chased off my mind, there were issues between the yellow and red team but it ends well in the end...yahooo! We won! :p

2007. Honestly speaking, have it not been for Kuya Deitys being a passer for this managerial training, i wouldnt have the chance to know sir Nilo more. We, in the ACAD, got to have more direct contacts with him. And all those times, we learned to stand in our own feet, cope up with the problems we hate to mixed with before and sir Nilo REALLY mold us into a better employee. We never hesitate to do well because we know if we'll ever make a tiny flaw in what we do, sir Nilo will always be there for us. We thank you sir for giving us the opportunity and guiding us throughout the journey. And now we bade you goodbye. Sana di mo makalimutan ang mga alaala mo dito...Ang alaala mo ay nakaukit dito sa mga pusot isipan namin. Good Luck wherever you will be.

places to unwind - part II

Places to unwind - part I

donna — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 09:44:40 GMT

A one and a half hour trip from General Santos is not long enough if you'll experience and witness the nature’s surprise with Lake Sebu’s lake and fall. The nature’s best first experience starts as the sun rises gracefully to the road going to the area. At the nearby restaurant, one cant resist the fried or chicharon or grilled tilapia served in meals. During your stay, a banca is available to bring you around the island.

Wild monkeys wander at the site going to the fall but they don’t hurt people and it’s a no-no when you are planning to make them inihaw na unggoy. Local government is strict with regards to preserving and nurturing their wild roving animals. It would be better if you wear your dependable rubber shoes and light clothing during the trip with Off lotion as your very defense against flying suckers.

At the site, one can have their meals prepared at the available huts near the fall. Although its okay to swim near the fall but for safety reasons, it would be better if one just stay at the nipa hut and prepare meals while watching the fall.

You will never end a day if you will not wait for the sun to set over the mountains. Indeed, a very natural way to enjoy a trip and a pure gratefulness as to what nature offers. - doning
