Lady Luck Strikes Again...:D..(regained the power of The Secret)

Open your eyes to the glory of GOD,
Open your hearts and hand to receive,
Open your mind to contemplate
Open your mouth to spread the word and to give HIM phrase. -chatkick 2009

I already said this before. Friday is my LUCKY day. Today I got a new job and I am thanking all the people who helped me. Especially my immediate boss. Last but definitely not the least, GOD Almighty for giving me this opportunity. A big opportunity for me at my age.

For the past weeks, I was bombarded with issues that somewhat shaken my peaceful existence. Until I snapped back to my usual self. With all the things that I had been doing which had lead to slightly burdened life. I slowly realized that some things are not going my way. Good thing was, I always had time to contemplate and I still have enough time to redirect my way of life and thinking.

Most of the time I feel so blessed, happy, contented and grateful. but due to some personal issues it had been pushed aside. I applied again the law of attraction. I started to think in a clean peaceful mind every morning. Organizing my faculty of thought. Greeting the day with smile and giving thanks to GOD for a new day. Suddenly blessings poured down on me again.

Monday: many people who were on my YM list asked me why my status message was: "Happy :D" and my only reply with them is: so that I will attract good vibes (I posted that stat message right after I read the email that I was not hired for a job that I applied for) then suddenly right after I open my Facebook, a message in my inbox regarding a job offering made my day. I was told that they'll call me (just in the nick of time huh?!), but as the days passed, I haven't received any call regarding the matter.

Tuesday: A friend was looking for an assistant photographer for his wedding event. I was asked by a female friend photog to come along as it will be a good venue for us. Experience, fun and at the same time exposure. I told them that my camera went on vacation(literally, my camera was borrowed by my close friend to Dumaguete). I asked her if she can lend me her camera and she agreed. So I decided to take a day-off work by Wednesday.

Wednesday: During the wedding we were having fun at really. I just tried my luck and I must say it wasn't bad for a first timer(lol!! ). I did some improvements with the on-site AVP and was fulfilled with how our day went through. Then, suddenly he handed us some money which at first we're not accepting anyway, but he insisted. So, what can we do but to accept it. (masamang tumangi sa grasya ng Diyos)

That was a WOW! really, for we are not expecting anything. We are there to "play" and practice photography. It was my very first wedding photography, I don't own a camera but was paid. Lucky Indeed!^_^

Friday: I was told that I must go to the office of who supposedly should have called me. I was thinking that I will go there to do some job interview. But the moment I stepped on the room, they were all shaking hands with me, including the over-all director. I was introduced with all of them as an employee. I was somehow shocked of how the things went through but was very happy, I must admit. I saw this as a new opportunity for me. A new door that will teach me new things. I couldn't believe it until this moment. At 22, I was told that I have a staff? Oh, well just got luckier! btw, I still have a work until 31 at my present job!

My Prayer: Dear God, Thank You very much for this new opportunity. I just want to ask You to please guide me. I know You are always doing that with all of us. And I know you will not put me in a situation that I cannot gain. Use me as an instrument to spread your greatness. In Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.

NIKON Related Work

I was informed by a close friend, that they are looking for people who are knowledgeable enough to sell Nikon Cameras. They are looking for people who are passionate in photography, cameras and all the technical aspects of how a camera works.

The office will be in Buendia and as far as I know, it works like a telemarketing. So for those who wants to work as such, let me know and I'll update you the soonest possible time.

Jam-packed Long Weekend(Fri-Tues)

Friday: We were advised that we still got a job at our present work. I did the errands and checked the files that should be updated. I went home and there was my friends waiting for me at the house, hehehehe!, for past weeks I have been busy entertaining people. Every weekend I have some friends who visits me at my place which is much better than me going to their place or going some other place to hang-out, which is for me a costly thing to do, wahahahahahahaha!(shrewd huh?!..lol!). But since I am exhausted and I need to get up early by Saturday morning for my first day at School,so I opted to go to sleep earlier too.

Saturday: Woke up early around 5:30am I guess, (that's way too early for me 'coz my earliest would be 6:30 and most of the time I get up around 7:30am). Hurriedly took a bath, buy some breakfast and cooked too. Can't go out the house without something in my stomach. I need to be at our School before 9am. I calculated my travel time of about 2 hours at the most and 1 hour at the minimum. Decided to get going at around 7:15am and I was 30 min earlier. Anyway, that was my first day and I don't want to miss any second or so. As the saying goes: Early birds catches the worm.

I was happy with how my 6 hours passed. I learned new things and enjoyed my first day of programming lessons. Yippeee! Looking forward a bigger and better future with this step I finally took. I never thought that I'd enjoy Integer, Binary, Octal and Hexadecimals. In fact, I already forgot all about those except Integers of course. Bringing back mathematics in my life eh?..not bad...^_^

After my class, I met with my two college friends at Megamall, they checked-out Crocs for the sale of about 70% off at the most I guess. I didn't go with them but rather looked for a clinic and had my facial there. Been a while since I had such so the pricks really felt awful. Urgh!, the irony of life huh??!, you hate the feeling, you've known the fact that it would hurt so bad and yet you still go for it...lol!, and here I am ranting about it (forgive me for being so maarte, minsan-minsan lang naman eh...hahahaha!) well, anyway that's the price you have to pay to achieve the look that you want.

After my friends have spent their almost 4hours inside Crocs(are you expecting they had so many sandals bought for they spent 4 hours or so there?). Actually they only bought a pair each and they spent hours in line(to enter the premises and to pay their sandals) tsk...tsk...good thing I opted not to go, I actually foreseen that scenario and I am not a fan of Crocs by the way...hahahaha!)

While waiting for them I stayed inside National Bookstore to look at some good reads, just in case I want to buy some. Just in time they arrived earlier than I had expected so we went out the bookstore and look for some place to eat. While looking for a restaurant/fast food we passed by Girbaud shop and saw that they were on sale!...wooohoooo!..., any bag + any wallet for only 1.5k (pesos), what a nice offer...hehe!...thinking...thinking...thinking...decided!..."caching"!...

A very long day indeed but I am happy by how my Saturday went on.

Sunday: It's my Laba Day(laundry day). Before, it was scheduled every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. But due to my classes I made some adjustments. Yes, hand-wash it is. I don't own a washing machine and I opt to do it the hard way, I enjoy doing the laundry, of all the household chores, it is doing the laundry that I like the most aside from cooking of course!(I still remember when I was a child, every time they ask me what I want to be when I grow-up, I always answer them: to be a labandera). Maybe that was the main reason why I enjoy doing laundry. While I was doing my laundry, a friend texted me and asked me to watch "Watchmen", his treat. Since, I had nothing to do after my laundry I went to the mall and met him there. The movie was good, nice soundtrack too, oldies and I loved it..wahehehehehe!..sang along even at the song "Sound of Silence"...hehe!

Monday: It was my schedule to clean and re-organize my room, so I didn't go to work, had a leave for that (don't worry it's legal, I asked my superior about it and stated my reason, and we are part-time workers here, privileged to go on leave at least 1-2 days off). I really am not good at cleaning and organizing things in my room since I was a child. Though my friends insists that I am an organized being especially how I deal with my life because I have plans long-term goals etc, it's just that it can't be seen inside my place. When 2009 came, I had this urge to be organized and clean (my life's equation: clean+organized place = organized and less burdened life). I had done the task barely month ago but just as days passed it became messy again. Darn it!

I started cleaning my terrace at around 11:30am and finally finished all the scrubbing, re-organizing and small details inside my room by around 7:00pm, what a relief and I think I lost some pounds on that "household exercise"...nyhahahahahahahaha...^^, (I forgot to take some picture for before and after pics..tsk..) I so love my room now. New look, it's clean and I enjoy my hours with my potted plants and herbs at my terrace. Added with my Climbing bamboo were a tarragon, love and devotion, mint and horse's tail.

By the way, I only do this on one condition: No one else must help me or even inside the room when I am cleaning and re-organizing things except when I need to move furniture that I can't lift/drag around.

Before I called it a day, I extended my hand to a friend for his projects. SO tired and so sleepy that I forgot some things to be done with the project.

Tuesday: I was really thinking to go to work but I catch some colds and fever, so I stayed at home to rest and sleep instead. Just told my superior about it. Later afternoon, I got a call, still dizzy I answered it and got informed that I was hired abroad. I didn't even go to their scheduled interview. whew! Planned to check it today before going to work. To see the terms and conditions of the job offer.

Wednesday: I went to the agency and learned that the basic salary was just having a little difference at my present work. On a second thought, I can earn their offer here at the Philippines given the right opportunity, determination and networks. Added is my hectic schedule here in the Philippines, doing self-improvements, prior commitments and my family doesn't know about it yet, I know they won't let me go to any place in Middle East. That wold be a no-no for them. I can woo them to go somewhere else but not Middle East. I can just hear them say: why on earth are you going there anyway? you can earn that here in the Philippines, and One thing more, we are really wanting you to come back here at the province. My supposed answer? Okay, I rest my case about the work abroad but not on the province thing yet, may be after a year or so, I will...lol=))

Have a happy blessed day people! we have the greatest gifts in life yet to be unwrapped...

Love...love...love...

LOVE a word that gives me strength. Love something that gives me hope. Love is the reason that keeps me going and striving for a much better life.


As what I quote in this picture, "Love's a little lonely at the beginning". Well, I guess I must agree with this. I know the concept of love, the theories behind it but I don't have the person to share it with, yet. I also acknowledge the fact that theories, concepts that I use in giving advice to people varies. It will always depend on its relevance to the persons involved and situations. As well as I recognize that I might be in a situation that all my concepts, theories might not apply to me by the time that I will be in a relationship. I just know I have people at my back who will open my eyes to the real deal of handling a relationship.

Nevertheless, I still am a hundred percent sure that he will come at the right time in God's will.

Since, I talked about love in this blog I will also enter my LOVE/PASSION for photography. Thanking GOD that I still got a job and I am looking for another job too. I will be very busy and I am hoping to earn more this year and buy my most wanted DSLR (I guess Nikon D40 or D60 will do for my humble beginning). At the moment it is in my number one priority in my list of what to do's and have's. Will really save for this and hoping to get hold of it before this year ends. I guess it will be a veeeerrrrryyyyy gooooddddddddd gift for myself...hehehehehe!!

MB Picture Perfect "Contributor" at last..:D

At long last...

When my friends here in multiply got published in Manila Bulletin's Picture Perfect they convinced us to send some pictures also to Sir Raffy Paredes. After moments/weeks of thinking about it, I did tried my luck. And sent 6 pictures last February 11, in which one of my submitted photo was chosen...wahehehehehehe!...(actually I thought none of my submitted photos might be chosen if not for that "Watawat" picture, thanks One for lending me your Camera, Pot for sharing me your Selective Coloring method, comments/suggestions and Echel for comments regarding my editing capabilities)

The consolation that I had received despite the fact that I only had one photo published? It is my picture that was chosen in Picture Perfect's front page teaser for "Through a lens, Clearly!" and I the write-up a lot, hehehehe!!

By the way, a friend(One Carpio) also got published today. For those who encouraged us in sending our contributions (Echel & Pot) thanks a lot. Ganito pala ang feeling, now I know...hehehehehe! For those who already given their congratulatory greetings; THANK YOU very much guys!

Suddenly...(a letter for him)

Hey There!...I told you I am going to blog about this. Hehehe!...just ignore it or just be discreet in posting comments if you want your privacy be protected...


I never thought that we'd be friends and enjoy each others company. Knowing that you are a year or two older than me. Well, what's new? I have a lot of guy friends your age. I didn't even realize that you knew me at all, you see I feel like invisible especially with higher years way back in our high school and elementary days.

You of all people somehow made me special. Although I must also admit that I have had past experiences that might have lead to something special but it just don't fit. There were a lot of hindrance, issues that have affected the progress.

Yeah, I really enjoy our virtual way of communication. I enjoy how you always manage to make me smile, laugh and lift my spirit when I was hurting. You are somehow special. I just want you to know that I am thankful that we became friends.

I do appreciate your efforts, especially when you sent this file through skype:

Lovers m00n acoustic by me.wav - J


We were busy talking then when a file window suddenly popped. I was wondering what it was and if it's really for me sent by you. You did made my day and I enjoyed your rendition...(a serenade??!!)


Thank You and I just want to enjoy every waking hours making kulit with you...wahahahahahahaha!!...Ito lang tatandaan mo: "Kun garitunon ako, mao ka man"...Bleh!...hehehehehehehehe...
