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 !
