What’s for summer?

Jody — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:10:53 +0000

Oh, summer is just around the corner and I am wondering what activities I could have for my kids. I am thinking to either enroll them to a voice lesson class or could be a piano lesson class. I want something music related this time. My eldest said their music teacher showed them a mitchell banjo in class. She is somehow interested on how to play that folk instrument. I wonder if there is a summer class available for that. What about you, what are your choices for summer class/activities of your kids?

I went with my girlfriends in Binondo to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It was a fun activity. We witnessed a number of dragon dances/parade and of course we did some serious food tripping!
I enjoyed most the latter part. We also went to meet a feng shui master so we can determine the amulets we need for this year. I bought my lucky bracelet as well as few amulets/charms to place to my bag. I also got coins to put in my wallet all the time.

Here’s my lucky bracelet…

Shopping galore!

Down to our last 10 days so got to do some shopping already! Although, we were in Las Vegas during the Boxing Day (December 26) and I was able to score some great pieces! (wink!) Tomorrow, will be going to the mall to get those make-ups from MAC and Chanel. I am planning to try also some eyelash growth serum from a beauty store I saw in Promenade Mall. I have to get the lipsticks that my friends asked me to buy. I hope all stocks are available.

What’s up Yo!

Hectic schedule has taken its toll on me for the past few weeks so that explains why I do not have any postings just yet. Sorry about that. Life is pretty busy but still amazing! Currently on vacation here in California and we are just having so much fun! It’s great to be reunited with families! My kids are enjoying their stay and even saying that they don’t want to go back to the Philippines! Oh, but we just can’t! It will be the last 10 days of our vacation and we look forward to making the most of it. For the meantime, let me share few pictures from our wonderful time here…

Hope everyone is having great holidays as well! From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Weddings and more weddings…

Jody — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:21:10 +0000

I just love my job! It’s all weddings and more weddings. I love the details of all the weddings we have recently. One has a vintage theme in Cebu, another one is an Autumn Theme in a hotel, a Rock n Roll Party Theme and today, we have a Spanish Theme. I love the idea that even souvenirs are varied. Apparently, even cohiba cigars can already be given as tokens. It’s one of the many souvenirs we have for tonight’s wedding.

Weddings nowadays are entirely revolving. And I love that I am becoming a part of it. I am witnessing all of these new trends unfolding before me.

I just love my work!

10lbs off!

Jody — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:30:54 +0000

Whew! Someone thought that I am losing weight because of detox opiate! Are you kidding me? It’s the most offensive comment I ever received. No, I am losing weight because of too much stress and too much work. I work even wee hours in the evening because there are tens of emails to answer and tons of paper works to finish. The only consolation of being this busy is that I have really lost about 10lbs already! Clap, clap, clap for me! Maybe, I should work hard more so I can even go back to my pre-pregnancy weight!

So it’s now December…

Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost a month since my last post. Work has been tremendous recently and I cannot even think how to squeeze everything and try to finish all my pending tasks before we go for a major vacation before the year ends.

November got pretty busy since we had a couple of events. Most of it as well came in last minute. Not that I am complaining. I am actually grateful for the blessings from the One up above.

December will completely be the busiest month with me finishing 4 events before we leave and try to complete all turn over for all the events I will be leaving to my team while I’m away. I am now even thinking if I need to even lend my desktops to my staff as most of my files are there. There are tons of documents to even turn over to them.

Now, I am getting anxious for things to be done soon so I can look forward for the grand vacation with my family.

Happy 5th Birthday Bianca

To our dear Bianca, you may be 5 years old already today but you will still be our baby forever! We love you very much sweetie! – Daddy, Mommy and Ate Margaux

Debt-free 2012

Jody — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:09:04 +0000

I am sure everyone’s wish is to be debt-free in the next coming year. I am glad we are gearing up our plans to pay off all our bank loans and mortgages already. My credit cards have been free already and I am very happy about it. I have zeroed out most of my outstanding balances from my card. Well, getting ready for another round of shopping in outlet malls in the US come December. I am sure my card will get a lot of beating during those times. So now, I doubt if I would truly be debt-free by 2012. Maybe, I can say, before the Chinese New Year? lol!

In his office…

Jody — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:44:00 +0000

A couple of weeks back, I had a chance to visit the husband in his office. I was surprised to see how nice and huge his room is. His room is actually located at a corner office. He even has his own restroom. Although I think he needs a better coffee table and chairs for his small meetings. Well, apparently, his requisition has not been processed yet. Oh by the way, he is actually looking for some qualified people for available posts in their office. They are offering Case Management Manager Jobs for those who can meet the qualifications.
