Saturday 9: Joy To The World
1. What to you is the most joyous aspect of the holidays? Making other people happy with the gifts that you will give them.. This is the holiday where most people are selfless as they are thinking more of others rather than of themselves.
2. Do you get much snow where you live? If yes, do you enjoy winter sports like skiing or would you rather stay in by the cozy fire? Sadly, no.
3. Have you ever been on a sleigh ride or a carriage ride? Do you even like horses? Sleigh ride, not yet. Carriage ride, a couple of times already. Yes, I like horses.
4. During the busy week, what do you do to relax? I sleep, I watch movies, I play my downloaded games.
5. Do you get stressed during the holidays? Yes
6. What holiday song could you happily never hear again? Last Christmas
7. How do you decide on what present you pick for a person? I base it on the person's needs and the person's wants.
8. What does this holiday season mean to you and why? This holiday clearly shows how much God loves us because He gave us Jesus (John 3:16).
9. What holiday movies best describe the season for you and why? How The Grinch Stole Christmas - because it may seem that we are concerned with the commercial aspect of the season but the truth is it is all about being selfless and making the people whom you love happy and the fact that Christmas will still come whether we have problems or not. It teaches us that nobody can really steal Christmas because it is not really about the gifts but the people whom we love.

Still Trying To Lose Weight
I am so hungry! The only thing that I ate for dinner was noodle soup. Yes, I am still trying to lose weight. I know I need to sacrifice a lot of things so I can get the desired body weight that I want and one of them is eating rice during dinner. Of course, I want to look good wearing the gown made just for me.
This just reminded me of a friend who starved herself every day until her wedding date. She succeeded because she looked good and she was able to fit into the gown that was 2 inches smaller as per her instructions. I do not blame her. The location of her wedding was very romantic. It may even be a travel destination for some. For my friend it was her dream wedding. She wanted to have one of the destination weddings that are gaining popularity day-by-day and in a way she succeeded. Although, I know if she was given a choice and the budget for it, she would have chosen one of the Karisma Hotels over at Riviera Maya..

Boring!
It's official. I am bored with PBB. That's what they get for doing what they do. They think they will spark the interest of more viewers but what they did was made it less interesting. At least for me. So I am bored with it. And what's up with the voting system? They are out to get more money from it's viewers. Do not spend a dime on the show and just use your hard earned money to buy nice gifts for your love ones.
So no more online streaming for me. Plus some of the chat rooms are turning out to be really nasty. Can you spell y-a-w-n?

The Tongue Is Stronger Than A Sword
I am havin' a really, really bad day! It is so bad that I drove like a crazy mad woman on a rampage out on the streets today. I usually detach myself from domestic issues. It is definitely not my cup of tea. I do not like to get mad especially not to the household help. Hay! But I can no longer ignore it anymore especially if the maid is chismosa!
Ewan. But ever since I was the target of a malicious rumor spread by a couple of officemates of mine a few years back about my husband now, my friend then and myself. I shied away from people simply because I could not handle gossip. I do not like to defend myself especially if I have done nothing wrong. I knew who I was and I knew what happened and I felt that I did not owe any explanation to the world. Hellers! Di kaya ako artista! Wahahahahaha! When the mouths started talking, romel and I kept to ourselves and a few close friends. I think I only trusted Ruth and Gail back then. Hirap na so many people were judging. The rumors were not only false but they were hurtful and malicious. I was recently enlightened and I know now that my friend back then was also a victim. He told me, just lately, his side of the story. But back then I thought he was the one who started the rumors. See, this is a perfect example of how rumors can ruin a friendship! I remember my motto after that was TRUST NO ONE because he was not only close to me but I considered him as one of my best friends and I told him some (if not all) of my secrets. But back then I thought he betrayed my trust because of the rumors that were spreading. It was painful because I thought there was betrayal but I guess I should also be thankful because that was the time when my hubby (my friend at that time) and I became close.
Ganyan ako ever since I was small. You will not see me defending my side to my parents simply because they should know deep inside that I will never do that. It got me into so much trouble before especially with the fights with my eldest sister. She would always start these fights not only with me but with my younger sisters as well. I fought back because as an older sister I felt I had to protect them and myself but I always get scolded at or reprimanded because I would not defend myself to my parents. They never heard my side. It would have been simpler if if I did that but I did not. Hehehe. Ewan.. feeling ko kasi if they really knew me at all, they would not have to ask me. So if they asked me, I would get mad. So they would get mad at me because I was mad. Hehehe. Tigas ulo din ako eh. Although, there were times when my dad took my side even if he did not say anything. He would just pat me on the head or he was just here and not say anything. He would not even ask me about what happened and just be there and that comforted me a lot. He was not judgemental and he always seemed to know when I am right or when I am the one at fault. I never (not once) received a spanking from him.
Anyways, that was the scenario when I was growing up. That was the reason why I always kept to myself. I would prefer to be on my own than deal with the issues. Of course, I always have my roommate and sister to help me process these issues but in general I always kept to myself and a few close friends and a few of my sisters. So now, I do not really tell anybody what my issues are when it comes to parenting especially not my issues as a wife. It's hard sometimes not to tell anybody what my problems are but I guess it also helps that I get to process it on my own and there are not too many people talking. Too many words are subject for misinterpretation and there are just too many ears and they always seem to multiply and the tongues never stop wagging. So when I am the target of a malicious tongue, I can no longer control my ire especially if it comes from a household help. Hellers! So yeah, I blew my top this morning!What was her intention anyways?
I am a firm believer that people can work problems out for themselves and they can build and rebuild relationships if they were given a chance by not having too many people around them yakking about it. Too many relationships (friendships, marriages, etc) are destroyed because of rumors. Too many great relationships should have been built but did not because they were pre-empted by negative feedback. Think about that. Words are supposed to build friendships and not ruin them. Words are supposed to encourage and not discourage people. Yun lang po. *bow*

Another Busy Day
Today is going to be another busy day for us. First off, we will be going to church for some spiritual food. People do need to get their spiritual fill at least once a week. Sometimes, it is the only thing that will get you through the week. Secondly, we have this couple therapy thing going on after church with other married couples. I think that will take most of our afternoon. Third, today is my sil's hubby's birthday so I think they have something planned in the evening, so our evening will be spent at their home. So yeah, today is definitely one busy day.
Anyways, if you have the time to surf today, check out my other blogs. I have updated them as well. Hehehe.

Saturday 9: Leaving On A Jet Plane
1. When was the last time you jetted away for the holidays? I haven't had any experience when I left my family during the holidays. Holidays, especially Christmas, should be spent with the people whom you love the most.
2. What is your fondest birthday memory? Well, I have three. For my own, it was my 7th birthday. My mom gave me this pink and pretty barbie doll. I cannot recall how she knew that was the barbie doll I wanted and wished for on my birthday. The way she gave it to me made me feel special too. Of course, we celebrated it with the whole family and had cake and fried chicken and spaghetti. For my daughter, it was her 1st birthday because of the fact that I already have a daughter to celebrate birthdays with and the smile that she had on her face at that time was unforgettable. Lastly, my mom's 60th birthday. We gave her a surprise birthday party and there were video messages from my nephews, Aaron and Andrew, who lives so far away. Anyways, we had this rose and gift giving thing for my mom where we also said our messages for her. It was so heartwarming and touching!
3. What names do you go by? cheryll, babie, bie, ate bie, beh, che, mommy, mi
4. What do you look forward to most in the next six weeks? Well, there are still birthdays that are coming up, my brother's most especially on the 8th of December and my youngest nephew Cai who will be turning 2. Of course, Christmas celebrations, Christmas eve and New Year's too.
5. Where is your least favorite place to be, and why? Actually, to be honest, I do not like going to the salon. It takes so long to get your hair done or a pedicure, etc. I am always restless when I am inside one. I usually can't wait for whatever it is that I am getting done to finish so I can get out of there.
6. Have you ever had a scary stalker? yes.. although not really scary because they are always at a distance or they keep themselves at a distance parang the feeling that I get is, they are hovering over me. The most that they have done is keep tabs on where I am and what I do, what time I go home, etc. There was this time when one of them called me up to tell me what my schedule was, what time I usually leave or arrive (things like that), where have I gone. It is sort of baffling and somewhat irritating how they know things about me.
7. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Eating noche buena with family, gift giving during Christmas Eve and opening all the gifts received together with family.
8. What are two activities you do after eating Thanksgiving Dinner? we don't celebrate thanksgiving.
9. What did your family do for Thanksgiving when you were a kid? Do you still do it? If not explain why. See answer number 8. The explanation is simple. Thanksgiving is a US tradition, I am a Filipino. Although, this is also not to say that I do not give thanks for the blessings and challenges that I receive every year. I just do not do it with turkey and pumpkin pie, etc.
