Gathering Crowd

There was a time, a couple of months back, when we went to the mall to look for Water Soluble Solder Paste. My eldest daughter needs it for school. For what? I do not really know because I doubt if they are old enough to use solder. Hehe! So anyways, we found it hard to look for it and so we got tired after a couple of minutes and so we decided to take a break.  We went to Fiorgelato to eat and rest. It was a good thing that we went there because Piolo P had a show and so we were able to watch him arrive but we no longer waited for his show.  As you can see from the pictures, there were lots of people waiting for him.

Check it out.

1. Have you ever discovered a betrayal? If so, did you ask, “How long has THIS been going on”? I can't say.

9. At holiday I think we all show more kindness. In your opinion, is this a “concept” that has value (like money or other tangible things) or does it exist as simply emotion? Why? I think that it is the former rather than the latter but of course, one can always equate it with emotion.

Pretty Full Sched

What's up?  What's up? Well, I am sorry I have not been updating this blog but it has been quite busy these past few weeks and I am pretty sure my weeks will be full up until the end of the year. Right now aside from everything that I am handling in HR, that includes payroll, training, recruitment, etc. I am also currently handling 4 employee cases. Can you believe that? 4! There were times when I thought I should have become a lawyer instead. Hehe! Maybe if I studied law, I am a great actos attorney now. What do you guys think? I am sure that my goal is to help somebody who is a victim of something. Just like these kinds of lawyers are. So anyways, I have to go because my sched for today is pretty crazy. So ciao!

Update

Okay so right now, I am still awake because I have to finish a couple of things that are due tomorrow such as my finals.  I also have to do a couple of blog posts just to update you guys what is going on  in my life now. As you know I am busy with work and my home life.  I am so busy that I can barely update my life. I barely have time to do anything else. So please bear with me.

So anyways, I remember (a couple of months ago), I was thinking of getting a new website for myself. Hehe! It is a good thing that I did not push through with that and my sole reason is my schedule.TIME is one of the things that I do not have.  Can you imagine that?  A couple of months back, I had lots of time on my hands that I did not know what I should do with it.   Just this week, I already went through a lot.. by a lot.. I mean A LOT!   I cannot quantify it now because of lack of time but I will (I hope!)! One of these days I will.

Right now as I am writing this, I am already making a list on my head what I should prioritize tomorrow. One of the list on my head is the website of the company where I am now. One of the concerns that we talked about was cheap website hosting.It is not really an HR concern but it came up during one of my meetings this week. Since I know a little about it, I advised them to check out webhostingcolumns.com. It would really help them.  Actually, they were excited about what I was telling them about the site because they do not have a clue about website hosting. SO when I started talking about it, I could actually see relief on their faces.

Perfect Score

I am so proud of my eldest because I think she has adjusted to me not being around all the time.  Yesterday, I saw her quiz results in Math and she got a perfect score.  Imagine that. I was not able to review her but she got a perfect score just like old times. Yahooo!  This reminds me I should give her  a surprise for her perfect score.  Oh and I should not forget her SMT Stencils and other materials that she will be needing for her art class next week. I remember just last week I was sort of gotten pissed off at her school because she needed something for class the next day and she was only told to bring it the day before.  Since I came home really late I was not aware that she needed that and I couldn't do anything about it any longer since all the bookstores were closed by the time I got home. She adjusted really well and she did not feel bad but her dad was resourceful enough to conjure something up so she did not come to school empty handed the next day for that class.

Friday Fill-Ins

1. When I was 10 years old I played with barbie dolls.

2. Potato is my favorite vegetable because it is nutritious and yummy.

3. My dream pet is a virtual pet.

4. Love surrounds you.

5. If I could live anywhere in the world I'd live in Canada with my family.

6. Please keep on shinin' on me.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include going to work and Sunday, I want to rest!

Ireland Tours Next Year?

I have much to do which is probably the reason why  I can't sleep. A couple of hours from now, we will go to Laguna and just take a break with the rest of the YC gang. It is our 3rd year anniversary as a group and so the whole group decided to celebrate it somewhere else other than where we usually celebrate it at.  So even if there is a typhoon we will proceed with our plans because we already paid for the resort and we already made arrangements for the vehicle that we are going to use.  To be honest, if it was my choice, I would rather stay at home and rest because my work is 6 days a week and this weekend is the weekend where I can take a rest. However, hubby has been urging me to go since our daughters will have so much fun swimming.  So anyways, we will leave a couple of hours from now and I still haven't packed yet. I suppose if we will be going on one of those a ireland tours or australia tours, I would have already packed.  Hehe! But since it is only an overnight trip I only have to bring a few things so I feel I can do it fast...probably in less than an hour. This is the reason why I haven't packed yet plus the fact that I am still so tired because of work and my daughter's party yesterday.   I already told my husband for next year, instead of celebrating our daughters' birthday separately, we can opt to have a joint celebration since their birthdays are only a month apart or we can go to travel machu picchu just the 4 of us. I think he liked the idea of traveling next year. Yey!Hopefully, my daughter's pedia will give the go signal. She thinks my youngest is still too young to travel.

Linggo Ng Wika

The whole student body was asked to come in last Friday wearing any kind of Filipino costume. I was surprised to see that some really went all out. As in! Here is a picture of my daughter and her best friend and another friend. As you can see, we did not went all out because I did not have any time to look for a really nice Filipiniana costume.  I will make it up to her next year. Hehe!

Needing Costume Jewelry Necklaces For School

My eldest daughter has lots of activities in school. On Friday, the students are all asked to wear a Filipino costume.  Since her old costume no longer fits her, we were supposed to buy her a new one but then we decided to just borrow the old costume of her cousin M because we do not want to spend 500 bucks for a thing that she will only wear once. It is a good thing that her cousin's costume fits her.  Admittedly, the only thing missing is one of those costume jewelry necklaces. It will give her outfit the edge.  Next week, my daughter is asked to bring a long sunday dress, sandals, a shoulder bag, hanky, brush or comb,designer Inspired jewelry, small mirror, powder and cologne. For what purpose? I do not really know yet. Maybe they will teach these young girls to behave properly while wearing a dress. This is what I like about this school. They do not focus on the academic but they also teach these young girls personality development. I do not really have any problem with the things she is asked to bring except for designer Inspired jewelry because I do not think I have any here.  So I checked the net and I was pleasantly surprised because I came upon finderskeepersjewelry.net.  They have a wide array of designer inspired jewelry without the price tag that usually comes with it. Yey!

Bank Checks Signed

Yesterday, I experienced my first mancom. I think I did very well for for a first timer. I presented my programs for the whole company and they were all enthusiastic about each one which means that I have more tasks to deal with.  Actually, the time set for the mancom was 2 hours because there was another meeting scheduled immediately afterwards.  So since the time was super limited, the interviews (panel interview) started first and then the presentation afterwards.  I noticed that the during the interview they were also signing bank checks and order checks.  That's what I call multi tasking.  So anyways, after the panel interviews were done and my presentation, issues were discussed next. I can't really say what it was about. But what I can say is one of the issues were forgery on personal checks. This came as a shock because we are not a financial institution but issues such as these still come out.  In the end, I was able to come home at 5:30. Actually,  I was in the office at 5:10 pm which made me happy because I can come home to my daughter who turned 1 yesterday though her celebration is going to be on Saturday.   When I came home she looked so happy that everything that I went through that day was worth it. 

Happy Birthday Anak

Before I start my day at the office, I would like to greet my baby girl a happy, happy birthday. I wish I could be with you right now but mommy has to attend a very important meeting. I will be back as soon as I can and I will be bringing you a very special surprise. I love you anak. I will make it up to you I promise.

Excited To See Rifle Scopes

One of the things I am busy with now is the biometric fingerprint enrollment of our employees.   Since we have two offices, it is kind of confusing what user id number to assign to each employee. We are careful not to assign the same user ID number to two employees. We solved that by assigning the even numbers here and the odd numbers at the other branch.  So anyways, it would seem that the employees are excited about the biometric timekeeping thing which is good because it would mean that they are open for changes.  I have a lot of programs for them and I am hoping that the committee will approve the proposed budget for each one.  One of the programs I am proposing is a teambuilding event. It is exciting because one of the venues even have Rifle scopes that one can rent for target shooting. Nice isn't it?! Of course, there is a chance that Rifle scopes might not be part of the itinerary if the budget for a teambuilding is approved.  Since most of the direct employees here are girls, they might opt for a more girly kind of activity.  Though I am sure that Rifle scopes are exciting for guys.
