#2nd Prayer

Today I'd like to pray for our dear batchmate Shallouh who'll undergo surgery and chemo soon.... Lord pls touch her heart and heal her so she can still be a source of love and strength for all her loved ones. I know you can take away all the fears and pain... I lift her up to you Lord. Amen

Today I Am Humbled

Today I am Humbled ....
I feel ashamed and humbled Lord ... see here I am troubled on how to raise my downpayment for a car I wanted... I've been praying and stressing out for days on how to raise said amount so I can get that brand new car I've been eyeing .... imagining what it would be like driving that small machine around town. And then tonight I received a message from a batchmate cancelling a meeting because she will have to undergo surgery and chemo the second time around, Here I am racking my brains out having sleepless nights on how to get that car while there's someone I know , a mother of three young girls who is thinking of how to win this war vs cancer.. All of a sudden my worries are so irrelevant and minute.... It is the Lord's way openning my eyes to view life.and enjoy life in a different perspective. I know the car can wait ... and there'll new models coming out. Like what I always say in the start of this car search journey..if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. everything will fall into place. In the meantime let me offer this special prayer for my dear batchmate, I know the Lord touch you and heal because you're His special daughter . I pray that He grants you strength to overcome all the medical procedures successfully so that at the end of the day you can go home to your beautiful house and embrace your wonderful daughters!

DAY 6: YAYA-LESS

It's been almost a week since our wonder yaya  took a Sick Leave ... And everyday that pass by, I could feel the empty shoes that  needs to be filled. Yesterday I did the laundry (well just the undergarments) and my back really made it's presence felt. Today we imported someone to iron the clothes and paid a huge amount of  P450 for her service.

But the biggest mark/turning point was when my temper started to get the best of me and snapped at Julia for not following my orders. In an angry tone I told her " Mommy's getting mad na! " To which she replied " No mommy, di ka pwedeng magalit.. " At bakit hindi ako pwedeng magalit? " I asked her.  Without batting an eyelash, she replied " Eh kasi love kita eh" ... Kaboom... that hit me straight to my core ... With that answer how can i get mad at all?

Day 4: Yaya Less

It's been four (4) straight days since our dear Boss Bem took a leave due to UTI.. So it's been 4 days since I've been wearing the domestic Goddess cap to a T! I've realized I've been dependent on our yaya all these years that doing the household chores has been a big task on   my shoulders. I'm just glad that we're currently in between shows so I don't have to juggle my hands with work and household chores. The only consolation i have is I get to spend  every waking moment with my princess since it's her sem break. And everyday she becomes such a blessing to me ...  although my whole day revolves around her, i know i should cherish every moment bec before i know it, she'll grow up fast and would choose to be in her own world.

To conclude, being yaya less can be very tiring and stressful but  looking at the bright side, i get to spend and care for my family hand on , 100% !

Good News and Not so Good News!

Today was a day of news and ironies. Out of the blue, received a message from GMA  Staff that  my much  awaited contract  is ready for pick-up/signing. I feel so blessed because finally I could feel the much needed security in my writing career. Since I started  more than a decade ago, this is the first time a network offered me an exclusive contract. This means  I don't have to be stressed out with my finances because I will be getting a retainer's fee. I am so overwhelmed because now I can secure Julia's tuition fees and other expenses. I can even save up money for the future which i have been desperately trying to do but can't seem to succeed.  But more than the financial side, I am so overwhelmed with the trust GMA Management have given me despite my tenureship (8 months since I joined the network). I couldn't help but compare how my former network, ABS-CBN treated me. I was with them  for a long  time but they never  gave me this recognition even  after the long years of service and loyalty. I am really grateful for the opportunity and blessing, GMA has given me.

But my happiness was short lived when I learned that I have no salary for this payout.  Meaning no income to tide me over just when I have bills to pay and  obligations to meet. Now I have to go back to borrowing money from  people just to survive until the next payday. Well, looking at the brighter side, it's not something major  that  i have to  hurdle. Yes this will require  tightening my belt   for  a couple of weeks but we've been thru worse and I'm sure we'll overcome this one just like the previous challenges.

At the end of the day I am still grateful for the Big Blessings from GMA and for the people  who continue to help us to tide things  over. I am still lucky and blessed  despite the drawbacks. And I know these  shortcomings  are/ just nuggets that adds to the sparkle and  glitters of  wonderful  blessings from above!

MY BFF Family

This is the Wacky and Brilliant Creative Team behind MY BFF Show.... One of the Best Shows I've been part of not only because of the beautiful story but  because of  Friends/Colleagues  I work with. Indeed, Team AGU is a team to contend with  simply because We're ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY having fun while working ....  Hey, even the big bosses  noticed it (wink!wink!)  :)

Mother and Daughter Slippers

I am not much of a Shopper or what you call a Mall Rat but I really got excited when Julia and I saw these matching slippers.  Aside from being cute (with it's "blueberry lollipops and strawberry swirl" designs) what excites me more is the fact that my Little Princess has grown big and can now wear matching footwear (and not to mention adult size slippers size 5 1/2 ). If only I could get hubby to wear the same thing, it would've perfect hehehe...

Who knows next time, I might get lucky and find matching outfits !!!

My BFF ... Another Masterpiece to Catch

It's been months since my last Post and  a lot has happened since then. Summer passed by  quietly and briefly,  and now just  a week  short before classes start again.  

I am grateful that  Our New Show, My BFF  will soon  conquer  the Boob Tube.  It's a project I am so proud of  and happy to be part of.  Hope this will touch people's  lives and inspire them to hold on the  best gifts in life... Your friends and your family !

Ang bilis nun...Lord ! Thanks !

Last night I was just praying kay Lord for assistance after learning that my TF for Mpk will only be  released  by the 10th of April, almost a month from now. I was deeply bothered because I have bills to pay so i posted my  concerns on FB. Lo and behold, an  old friend from highschool responded and sent money thru western union, no questions asked. Sobrang galing ni Lord,.express talaga ang sagot! Thank u Lord and higit sa lahat, thanks for sending Brenda to answer my prayers .

Thank You For Toxic Days...

Yep you read it right, I am grateful for toxic -productive days. Days that start with my cup of coffee and toasted bread, and then taking care of My Julia  and bringing her to school and then writing to meet deadlines. Toxic to juggle everything but I am not complaining   because it simply meant I have work to do literally and figuratively.  I am thankful that I  deadlines to.meet and that I have a chance to do.what I love to do most and that is writing. I just hope and pray that I have deadlines coming because it simply means people believe in my craft :)

Welcome 41st year with smiles and good vibes

The year that passed was a big roller coaster ride, full challenges, smiles and tears .. it was full of excitement with big projects ( KKI AND HKLM), big surprises (pregnancy @ 40) but full of heartaches as well,( miscarriage, shows and projects being cancelled.and left out) but with  new friendships and beginnings @ GMA Network...

This year i only have simple wishes and dreams, good health for my family and friends, projects to work on and continue to enjoy the simple joys of life ....   not too much grandeur but indeed.a workable and realistic goal to achieve

When Your Little Girl Cries ....

Yesterday when I came home from doing errands my Little Princess greeted me with tears  of frustrations when she showed my her scores from her 3rd quarter Exam. She was so worried all she could say was I'm sorry Mommy repeatedly for not getting goid grades. And when hubby came home from work the more disappointed and scared she was, crying more openly. Instead of getting angry and scolding her, i gave her a Big Hug to assure her she is loved no matter what. We also agreed to cut down play time and to study harder so we can get better grades next time.

It breaks our heart to see our daughter in tears ... you could feel her pain in not being able to deliver what is expected. You can feel the low self esteem  and disappointment in her , and to think she's just 8 years old and kids her age should be carefree and having fun .

It is never easy to see your little one crying...  as my moms would only say, if i could do things for you and take the pai  away.... but little girls need to cry too they would learn from their mistakes and frustrations in life .... they need to shed a tear or two so mommies can give them a big hug and let them know they are loved, no matter what .

Old friends are such a Treasure

The other while i was sick and in pain due to pharyngitis and asthma i posted or should i say ranted how expensive my meds were. To get well i actually need to shell out something like P2000 for all the meds prescribed by the doctored. For someone  who works on  a project basis, 2k   is such a big amount to spare. The status i posted in FB was just to share me sentiments.

Unexpectedly, someone across the globe an old college friend read my post and offered to send meds for my asthma. An unsolicitated gesture (pardon me for not thinking of a better term) that touched my deepest core because i haven't seen or heard from  my college for more than 20 years now. It amazes me how old friends would reach out and show kindness when you least expected it.

And to my dear au dalisay of UST AB 1A, you are truly a blessing from above. Thank you for yhe gift of friendship.. May God bless you more and more !

Goals for 2014

Its almost.1:30am and here i am again, couldnt sleep... so instead of staring at the ceiling, i mustered enough courage to go down grab a bite and blog the time away...

There are a thousand one things i'd like to do but dont know where to start.. ironically when you have time in your hands you tend to procastinate.. so to remedy this problem i've decided to come.up with my goals for 2014!

For on the list is the commitment to be deligent to abide to my priority list wether its as basic as my to do list or grocery list or as challenging as my budget list. If i can master this skill and discipline myself then i have bigger chances of  achieving my other goals... they say one should start somewhere .

Next on my list is to loose weight bigtime... as in loose 50lbs which is a difficult task but not impossible. This requires a change of lifestyle which i am willing to do because i intend to grow old in good health as i watch my daughter walk down the aisle.

Lastly I hope and pray to be financially stable in 2014, to be debt free with savings of P100000K ... i dont how to achieve this but i've got to the best way i  can !
