Season's Greetings To All

Kit from MssMint_Coordinated Kit_Winter Sparkle

I've been very busy this past few days. Who isn't during holidays? I made this LO to greet everyone Happy Holidays! Season doesn't end until the 3 kings right?

Disappointed..

I was supposed to buy the 17" LCD monitor from one of my co-QC staff. She won it from the raffle. Since she doesn't have a PC at home she decided to sell it for only 1500 pesos. 1500 pesos! LCD monitors usually costs around 5000 and above depending on the brand. This one is a Chimei brand. Every year Chimei, our resin supplier, gives us 4 LCD monitors. It is one of their products aside from natural resins. Most of the PC in the office have an LCD monitor, from chimei of course. Continuing with the story, as I was about to pay Ate Eden, she told me that she changed her mind. Her sister wanted the LCD monitor. Talk about bad luck. I was really sad and disappointed. But I guess it wasn't meant for me. I'll just use the money for shopping *LOL*. I'll just wait next year, maybe they include another LCD monitor in the raffle.

Wild Wild West

This is the theme the office staff came up for our christmas party. Honestly, we reacted with the decision. We were hoping that they would ask the opinion of others to make sure that everyone would participate. But I guess other's opinions doesn't matter. In short, most of the employees did not participate. Only the office staff and some of the operators who wants to win the best costume prize were the ones dressed like cowboys and cowgirls. Ang QC pasaway. None of us wore any costume. I'd have to say it's really very costly. I would have no use for the outfit afterwards anyway. And we also don't have time to prepare. Production is very busy, we didn't even have time to practice for the dance contest kaya medyo mali mali steps *LOL*. I was the one who came up with the steps, they were following me when we danced. E ang daming beses kong nagkamali kaya lahat mali na *LOL*. We bagged the third prize. Only 3 groups participated, meaning kami ang kulelat. For the raflle, I only won the consolation prize which is a wallet and 1000 pesos. Not bad compared to winning a desk fan, or other appliances which we already have at home. Wilson won 25 kgs of jasmine rice and 300 pesos. Parang alam na may resto sila *LOL*. All in all the party was ok. The place was nice (Techno Park Hotel), the food was great. And the best part was we started early so we went home early also. Here are some of pics from the party. Others you can check it out here.

If someone asks you a favor, is it unfair to ask for a little consideration? My BF (Wilson) was asked by our HR OIC if he could pick up some of our employees at Sucat because the service will be used by employees from our Makati office. Traffic in SLEX is so unpredictable because of road construction. We already have 3 lates this month which means another late and we are considered absent. Wilson is required to come to work at 8 AM because he is on duty. If we are going to enter Sucat exit to pick them up, we will surely be late. I don't want to elaborate on the details but what happened is that I was caught in the middle of a misunderstanding between Ate Ning (HR OIC) and Wilson. She told me everything she wanted to tell Wilson because the second time she tried to call him he wouldn't answer anymore. Let's just say that what she said wasn't really nice. And since I am representing Wilson, I wanted to defend his side but she never gave me a chance. I'm not really good when it comes to arguments. In short, natameme ako sa sinabi niya, I couldn't help but cry. Production operators were asking me why I was crying because they usually see me wearing a smile. Whenever I tried to explain tears come falling down my cheeks. I really can't help it. I was weak. Maybe because it was the first time I was treated that way. Kahit papano naman I could say mabait naman ako. Everything was settled when Wilson talked directly to Ate Pat (HR Mngr.). I never hold any grudge against anyone. I understand that she is just pressured with our Christmas Party. I hope next time she will give consideration not just to us but to other employees as well. That's the most important part of the job of HR. To represent employees. To defend their rights. To give considerations.

Meant for me..

About a month ago, when I had my hair straightened, I saw this red silk dress at Bayo which I really liked. When I tried it on (size 0) it was small for me. I was able to fit it but it was nearly torn. I had a hard time taking it off. I couldn't believe I was already that fat. I asked the saleslady if they have a size 1 but they have none. I felt bad because I wasn't able to purchase it. It was a really good buy because it only costs 1,095 pesos. I told myself I was going to look for it in their other branches. I even asked my BF to ckeck it out at MOA. But he said he did not find a silk dress. I also ckecked out Bayo at greenhills. No red silk dress. I told myself maybe it wasn't meant for me.

Last night, my sister asked me if I could accompany her to glorietta. Since I still have a lot of things to buy I decided to join her. It was already 8 pm when I arrived at glorietta. Good thing they are open until 11 pm because my Ate took a long time finding an outfit she's going to wear at their christmas party. After she was finished, she told me that she saw the silk dress at Bayo. It was relocated on the 3rd floor. We were already tired but I still insisted on going to Bayo. I was so happy when I saw it and what made me more ecstatic is that it was 50 % off!!! Lucky lucky me..( I felt like I was Lindsay Lohan in the movie Just my Luck) *lol*. They don't have a size one on the red color but they have it on blue. I tried it on, it was a perfect fit. But then I noticed that its belt was missing. So I asked the saleslady for the belt and she said they don't have it. It's already been pulled out. What?! Why did they do that? The belt is an accessory of the dress. I asked her if they can still retrieve it because I was really going back just to get the belt but she said she's not sure. Despite the belt missing, I was still going to buy the dress. I returned a size 0 on the rack when I noticed that one of the dresses have a belt on. Lucky lucky me again. I took the belt and bought the dress. Happy happy happy!!!




This incident, I believe, is proof that if something is really meant for you, no matter how long it takes, it will still find its way to you.. Happy happy happy!!! *lol*

One of my worst days...

Friday, Dec. 7, my sister and I went to world trade to look for gifts for friends and inaanaks. ABS-CBS is hosting the bazaar. There is an entrance fee of 25 pesos, same for kids and adults. I was really excited because there were a lot of things to see and buy. I was bugging my sister to take a picture of me, because the decors there were nice. I informed my officemates about the fair and decided that we would go the day after. Next day came, I was there again. I was going through some clothes when I noticed that my cel is not in my bag. I panicked and asked jimmuel to check if I left it in the car. Luckily, it was there. Whew! Don't know what I'd do if I'd lost it. My father would be furious! So after, we went to MOA for the blessing of my BF's family's new resto. The blessing already started when we arrived. So we stayed outside for a while. I did text Ason informing him that we were already there. The blessing was finished, everyone was eating and we were still outside waiting for Ason. We were staring at the guests for a long time already. Feeling really stupid. We left to wander around when Ason came. On the way to the resto, he received a call and left us again. I was irritated. I decided not to go anymore, and my officemates supported me. We went to SM, to eat dinner. Ason called asking us where we are. I said MOA. He said "bahala kayo!". He sounded really pissed. (By the way, he has a fever that time). We had ordered food when Mam Winnie's phone rang. It was Ason's mom. Asking us to go back or she'll get mad. Buti na lang we could still cancel what we've ordered. When we came back, Ason and I weren't talking. I tried not to look at him kasi I was really mad. I lost my appetite. He was trying to offer me different kinds of food but I wasn't really in the mood. He only ate a little kasi nga he's sick. I gave him the medicine he asked me to buy for him earlier. I wanted to caring but I guess the feeling of irritation was much stronger. We left around 9:30 PM. He went home around 2 I think. He said goodnight but I still feel that everything was not ok. There will be a lot of changes now. He would be busier than he was before. Hopefully, he would find time for us. I miss him already...

Straightened it out

When I was a child I have curly hair. I'm still looking for my picture wherein I look like an ita because of my curly hair, don't know where that is. Well i'll just post it here if I find it. Because my hair always receives a trim, it straightened a little bit, making it wavy. Wavy means it's hard to manage. And I hate it when I had to wake up earlier just to blow dry or iron my hair. It's really a hassle. My solution? I had my hair straightened. Where else? At Going Straight. I usually go to their branch at glorietta but because of the glorietta incident I decided to go to rob place instead. I have my hair straightened twice a year. Straightening damages my hair but I can't help it so I just condition my hair every now and then. Going to parlor for hot oil at least once a month. Now I have super straight hair. I love it!

Celebrating love...

Today is my parents' wedding anniversary. If i'm not mistaken, I think it's already their 27th year together as husband and wife. Their journey together was not really smooth flowing. There were times when I thought they will give up on each other. It was really sad and heartbreaking when you see your parents fighting. It affected me so much. But i guess their love for each other and for their children are what kept them together and the reason why we are celebrating. This sunday we plan to go to greenhills for the celebration and of course may kasama na ring shopping..*lol*... I'll be blogging that one here. Well, I hope they stay together forever. No more fights. Just love.

Connected at last!

We have already been approved by globelines broadband. It's been almost two weeks since we started using the phoneline. But the internet is still not working. We keep on bugging globe, calling almost everyday so they can check what's wrong. They've already sent someone but he wasn't able to fix it. My sister needed the connection because she has some schoolwork that was sent thru e-mail. Flash drives are not allowed to be used anymore because of possible virus transfer and her flash drive contains many many viruses. So as her older sister I will lend her my phone to be used as modem until the globe figures out what;s wrong with our connection. I'm not currently using my phone as modem. At first, I had a hard time figuring out how to use it. A few clicks here and there did the trick..haha.. So now I will be able to blog whenever I want, using my phone as modem. It's also cheaper. 10 pesos per 30 minutes, because i'ma smart subscriber. It's more expensive when you use globe.

It's already 2 in the morning and it's time to take my beauty rest *lol*..

No time to blog

It's more than a week since my last post. Actually, I have a lot of things to post but I cannot find the time to do it. I still need to upload photos for those posts. We were already approved by globelines broadband. The phone is working but we cannot access the net. Maybe because our computer has viruses (not only one ha!*lol*). So in order for me to post, I still need to go to a computer shop, which is a hassel. Also this week we're having our iternal audit at work. And i'm an internal auditor trainee so there really is so much to do. I hope after the audit I will find time to post. Hopefully, our internet is already working. Grabe, baka makalimutan ko na ung details ng mga ipopost ko.

SPC Seminar

Last Nov. 15 and 16 I attended a seminar regarding SPC (statistical process control). This seminar is for our company's plan to have technical standard certification. It seems that the use of SPC is required for such certification. So me not being good at math needed to review a little about basic statistics.

As I was about to leave for the seminar my stomach felt funny. I'm not sure if it was excitement or nervousness that caused that feeling but it was intense. So intense that I had to vomit. I still had to look for the location of the seminar so I left early. Luckily,the commute from our house to ortigas was smooth and the building was not that hard to locate so I arrived there early. I was offered coffee but refused to take it because my stomach condition was not normal. There were only 3 participants and the speaker was late because it was raining hard that day so the three of us had time to get to know each other. Both of them work for electronics company. The seminar started slow but became more interesting as we went further. Eventhough that time I already have a fever and checking the time every now and then I still was interested because there's so much to learn and I enjoyed it. We extended a little so I came home a little longer than I expected. During the trip home I started to feel that intense feeling in my stomach so I decided to take the quickest route home. As I entered our house I went straight to the lavatory and you know what happened next *lol*. Since I still have a day to go I drank meds to relieve the fever. The next day my fever was gone but I have LBM naman. huhuhu... I had to go to the bathroom thrice. I drank diatabs, it went away (buti na lang). I felt much better during the second day of the seminar. In fairness, sir Joe (our speaker) was early. We had a little picture taking before we left (as remembrance). The three of us (jhen and ocel) promised to stay in touch through e-mail and friendster.

All in all eventhough I was not feeling well I have to say the seminar was really enjoyable, entertaining, fun and most importantly informative.

Ocel, Jhen and me (kunwari lang yan.)

A birthday blog long overdue

It's already the month of november and I still haven't blog about my birthday which happened two weeks ago. Last october 20, a day after the glorietta tragedy, my boyfriend and I went out for a birthday date. He didn't even go to work that day just to be with me (o how sweet! *lol*). We were supposed to go to glorietta but since there was an accident the day before, we decided to go to MOA instead. We first had lunch at David's Tea House (This is where we frequently eat whenever we're at MOA). Then he asked me what gift do I want. I immediately told him I wanted a bag, without hesitation. There is only one place he knows where he can find the safest bag. Safe in terms of style. Where else but at Marithe Francois Girbaud. I asked him to choose a bag for me cause i'm not really good with bags. I remember last time I checked out this bag, he said it doesn't look good. How mean is that?! He ended up choosing for me. This time he chose a black bag (for office use). This bag actually has two looks. Check it out.

This is the first look

Second look. Nice right?

Aside from the bag, Ason also gave me a Banoffee Pie from Red Ribbon. Yummy!!!

On the day of my birthday (October 21,2007), my family and I went to Huey Ying Resto for lunch celebration. The place was full of people. There were still people waiting to be seated. Some even left. In short, Ason was busy so we left early.

My birthday this year doesn't feel special. I don't know why. It doesn't feel complete. :(

4G

About a month ago, as I was scanning channels on tv searching for something to watch, I came upon this radio show. Yes, a radio show on tv. Apparently, DZMM also broadcast their radio shows on cable tv. The show that time was about health. There was a resident doctor there who can answer any inquiry you have on health. Free consultation ika nga. That time they were endorsing this new food supplement called 4G. They said it was already a complete food supplement. It is called 4G mainly because all of its contents starts with the letter G.

• Garlic - Even Louis Pasteur, who discovered penicillin, recognized the anti-bacterial powers of garlic back in 1858. And during World War One surgeons regularly used garlic juice to stop wounds turning septic. Most of the modern research on garlic has concentrated on its ability to lower cholesterol and blood pressure as well as offering protection against strokes and heart disease. Scientists have also looked at the role garlic plays in helping prevent the formation of blood clots. While garlic is gathering a reputation for helping to maintain a healthy heart, regular amounts of garlic seems to also help the body fight off infections.

• Ginseng - For centuries, ginseng has been used as an energy tonic by the Chinese, who continue to use it for this purpose even today. In the western world, ginseng is being studied for a number of purposes, from treating stress to increasing levels of alertness and mental clarity. Many studies have shown that ginseng is able to reduce levels of stress in both men and women. In many clinical studies of the herb’s effects, those taking regular ginseng supplements were able to withstand higher levels of emotional and physical stress than those who had never taken the herb. In addition to its traditional role as stress fighter, ginseng has shown great promise at reducing fatigue, increasing memory and even fighting off colds, flu and other infections.

• Grapeseed Extract - Taking grape seed extract can help improve blood circulation, which help prevent leg cramps, diabetes complications, varicose veins, numbness in the extremities, muscular degeneration, cataracts and impotence. Because most of these health conditions more commonly occur and are severe among the elderly, grape seed extract can be especially beneficial to them. Grape seed extract is also believed to partially block the release of prostaglandin, the substance responsible for causing pain and inflammation in disorders such as endometriosis. Grape seed extract is commonly used as an ingredient in European facial creams. When used as a topical ointment, grape seed extract is believed to help maintain the skin’s elasticity.

• Ginkgo Biloba - Ginkgo is well recognized for its positive effect on brain functioning - enhancing memory, mental alertness and reducing mental fatigue and lack of energy. As ginkgo works as a brain enhancer, it has obvious benefits for individuals who suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Even for a healthy person, Ginkgo Biloba can help improve brain function by preventing and treating conditions of cerebral vascular deficiencies, where there's decreased flow of blood to the brain.

According to Dr. Rey (I think that's the name of the resident doctor on the show), this food supplement should be taken after dinner before you go bed. Because this supplement will make you feel sleepy. Also, it should not be taken together with other food supplement like fitrum or my marvel tahebo because our liver may not be able to sustain all that meds. But you can take it with liveraid.

I bought 15 capsules today to help me absorb everything that I will read for my board exam. I also wanted to take vitamin c but was not sure if it is ok so I asked the pharmacist, and she said it is ok. So tonight will be my first time to take 4G, hopefully it would work for me. Pahabol lang.. Another reason pa pala why I wanted to take it because I have a training regarding statistical process control this coming 3rd week of november. It's a pretty tough topic so just to make sure I will be able to understand and absorb it well, I decided to try 4G. If it works for me, i'll definitely blog about it.

Future worries

It's been like forever since I had my last OT. We have very few productions these days and also at risk of losing half of the order of our biggest customer. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Maybe I feel both. Happy because I get to have plenty of rest and time for my board exam review. Sad because we are undercompensated and only our OT pay keeps us alive..I wanted to leave this company not because I don't like my work or the people around me. Actually, the people I work with has a big influence on my decision of staying here. Only my salary bothers me. I'm not materialistic but if I'm going to have my own family, my earnings wouldn't be enough to provide my needs and the needs of my family. I'm planning to leave the company i'm currently working for after I pass my licensure exam. But i'm still not sure. Something or should I say someone is holding me back *lol*. I'll just have to wait and see what will happen after I pass the board exam. Hopefully I will.

Ride of my Life

It's been a long time since i've seen my college barkada (except for maan who I see almost everyday). Since most of us is celebrating our birthday this month we've decided to go out and celebrate (siyempre taya ang celebrators *lol*). One celebration na lang para tipid. We first met up at MOA then went to Huey Ying restaurant. It took a long time for them to serve us our food kasi there were so many customers. Normally, the soup will be served first. That time it was served last kasi naipit daw. We were almost done when the soup was served. Syempre hindi naman kami makapagreklamo kasi it is my BF's family's resto. We still ate the sinigang na miso but half of it tinake-out na lang. For our dessert, GJ bought us a cake at chocolat. We were already full at that time so we only took 2 slices para lang matikman ung cake. I'm not really fond of chocolate but when I tasted this one, parang nakalimutan kong hindi ako mahilig sa chocolate. Sobrang sarap!!! to the highest level. No joke. We were arguing kung sino magtatake home. But since 2 of the celebrators are going to sleepover at our house, sa amin napunta ung cake. Yipee!!!*lol*.

Gj, Maan Me and Jhonna

Chinkee, Cha and Harry

Our initial plan talaga was to go to star city afterwards, special request ni chinkee. But on our way to the seaside, we saw that the global fun carnival located beside moa was already open, so we decided to go there instead. And besides baka hindi na rin nagpapasok sa star city. It was their opening day so they took 30% off on ride all you can price. Supposedly, we are to pay 300, with the discount, we only paid 210. There were only a few people inside, and there were only few rides. We first rode the mini roller coaster. At first we were very excited. The 4 of us took the last cart, Jhonna and I were sitted at the back seat. On the way down the steep slope, bigla na lang tumaas ung nakapatong sa dibdib namin, that was supposed to protect us from falling. We tried to pull it down but were unsuccessful. Nagpanic kami. We have to really hang on to to the handle to prevent us from falling. When we passed by the operators, they secured it. Parang sinisi pa nila kami. As if we intentionally pulled it up. After that, we told the operators to secure it for the next passengers.

That ride was really scary in terms of safety ha. Our next ride, carousel *lol*. Almost everyone in the carnival were carrying stuff toys. In fairness cute ung stuffed toys, unlike sa star city *lol*. So we decided to try one game. It's a bit expensive, 50 pesos per game. We chose the game where you will get a floating duck using a stick with a hook on the end. If there is something on the bottom of the duck, then you will get a stuff toy. You have 2 chances.

Here I am trying to get a floating ducky. Unfortuntely, I didn't get any toy.

After the game, we tried the swing. At first it was ok but when we were spinning too fast I was worried. What if biglang maputol ung kadena? Saan ako pupulutin? I just prayed for it to end. When at last the swing came to a stop, I took my slippers then left. When we joined our friends who didn't try the ride they said my swing was spinning from all directions. Others were spinning only on one direction. Kaya pala hilo ako. My eyes were shut the whole time. The carnival is open only up to 12 midnight. It was already 11:30, so we decided to take the last ride, the flipper. The ride took 2 minutes to finish. It was the most scariest ride we've tried. It seemed as if we were spinning so fast our heads might be cut off. We never tried the ranger where you will be hanged upside down. I wouldn't dare try that one. After the ride two of my friends vomitted. Their stomachs were not in good condition before the ride but still went to try it. Harry was laughing and was making fun of chinkee and maan. He even took pictures of them while puking but I wouldn't post that here.

Before the scary ride started.

The two girls smiling. The other two vomitting.

Anyways, for those who will go to global fun carnival to try their rides make sure your stomach is not full or else you might end up getting home early.

Craving for Pasta

Every payday, maan (my co-qc staff), collects 50 pesos from each of us as a contribution to our birthday fund. Whenever there is a birthday celebration, we use that money to go out and celebrate. This is only applicable for those who contributes..*lol*. This month, we are celebrating my birthday and ate eden's. We were supposed to eat at Hula-Hula in West Gate but was craving for pasta so we went to Don Henricos instead. We ordered pizza, pasta, fries and of course the buffalo chicken (yummy! *lol*). We weren't able to able to bring our digital camera so I used my camera phone instead to take some shots. So here it is..

Chizzy Fries..Sarap ng dip!

Don Henrico's famous Buffalo Chicken

Spaghetti ala Carbonara..Yummy!

Monching, Emee, and Ate Eden

Need I say who we are?

Glorietta Tragedy

It was around three in the afternoon when our boss told us that there was an explosion in glorietta. He learned about this because his wife was in glorietta that time, shopping (pashopping-shopping na lang, kainggit *lol*). He said he was scared and wanted to go back to Japan. If you ask me, he was over reacting because he was supposed to treat us after his wife left for Japan (ayaw lang manlibre *lol*). I've learned that most casualties was brought to makati med. My sister works at makati med as a medtech, so I immediately asked for details. That time, there were 4 dead bodies in the morgue. She saw them with her own eyes, she said it's gruesome. One body, that of a woman (foreigner I think) was twisted and badly burned. Others you wouldn't even recognize because of burns and debris on their faces. This happened friday. Saturday, my BF and I were supposed to go there so he could buy me a gift for my birthday. Luckily, the tragedy did not happen that day. Madalas pa man din kami sa area na un. Despite that, I still grieve for those who have lost their love ones in the tradegy. Who would ever know that that time was their last time to shop

Two days after the said bombing ( I heard from a report this morning that investigators think that it's only an accident. Gas leak? I don't think so. There was no fire!), another tragedy happened. Still in glorietta. This time it was a fire. The paluto retaurant at G4 was burned. A lot of people panicked. Good thing, the fire was quickly put out.

Two tragedy. Same place, in the same week. A series of bad luck for Glorietta mall.

I love scrap

Eversince I saw my officemate's friendster I was immediately interested with digital scrapbooking. Hers is only simple, so I searched the internet to learn more about digital scrapbooking. I also was able to download free digital scrapbook kits here. As a beginner, it takes a lot of time and patience to make one (lalo na kung mabagal ang PC *lol*). Next time ko na iuupload ung mga nagawa ko dito, di ko pa nasasave sa USB. I've also searched some sites where you can find freebies for digital scrapbooking. Some sites require you to be a member in order to get their freebies. Some just gives it away *lol*. Those of you who wanted to get digital scrapbooking freebies, you can chech this out. I will be starting my review for the board exam this week so it might take me a long time to make a new scrapbook page. Hopefully I will find time to squeeze it on my upcoming busy schedule (di pa nga nag-uumpisa *lol*). 'til next time..

Love Endures

I woke up early this morning with nothing so much to do so I decided to make a digital scrapbook using the kits I downloaded from the internet. I used some of our pics at Balay Indang. I've also included a poem from a book entitled soulmates which I bought 3 years ago. I really liked what I did with this one. Unlike the previous ones which I made. I am only a beginner with digital scrapbooking and it was the first time I used photoshop to create this. I usually use Ulead Photoexplorer which I borrowed from my officemate. Anyway, here it is..

Longing for Racks

About a month ago, I glanced at one of the buildings at Paseo deMagallanes and I saw this sign. Racks soon to open. I was very excited so I immediately informed my BF about it. He too was happy to know that Racks has returned. Our schedule to eat there (everything has to be scheduledwith my BF) was cancelled due to an emergency. But we ate there eventually. Last saturday after work. We had to wait because there are a lot of customers. We ordered baby back ribs, chicken, mac and cheese, corn and carrots and three orders of Java rice. We were so full. The food was great! We really missed it specially their bbq sauce. Super yummy..*lol*.
I wanted to eat there again, hopefully soon..

My new Gadget

After a week of delay, i've finally purhased my new cellphone. It's the Sony Ericsson K800i. I love this cellphone because of its cybershot feature. I have the allure brown color which is unique and very classy. I bought it at SM Mall of Asia at the price of 12,800 pesos. It comes with a 128mb memory stick. But with the cybershot feature of this phone, 128MB is definetly not enough to store pictures so i have upgraded it t 512 MB. With additional expense of course. I haven't explored all of its features but when I do I will definitely post it here.

A sad reality...

Yesterday when I went to work I was really excited because of 3 reasons. First, we only have to work halfday, so I can spend the rest of the aftenoon with my boyfriend. Second, it was the day my boyfriend will treat me at the newly opened Racks in Magallanes. And thirdly, i'm going to buy my new cellphone (Sony Ericson K800i). This my birthday gift for myself. But an unexpected news came when I was into the QC room. One of my collegues called our QC manager and was asking for help. His son was accidentally electricuted and died. The hospital didn't want to release the body of his son because he doesn't have any money to pay for the bills (What's up with hospitals these days). Good thing our President, Mr. Matsushita was very supportive. He personally attend to the financial needs of Kuya Lito. He even went to Makati to give his support.

What happened, according to one of my officemate who talked to Kuya Lito, was his son was riding a tricycle, he went off the tricycle to give way to another passenger then he accidently leaned on a street lamp post which was grounded. It was raining that day which made the matter worst. He was dead on arrival at the hospital. This boy is only 15 years old.

It is helpful to know the first aid for electricution just in case you happen to see someone who has been electricuted. This procedure can help lives.

My parting note for this post would be that our lives are only borrowed from God. He is the only One who can give and take away life. We shouldn't take this gift of life for granted....

P.S.

Our plan to eat at Racks and to buy a cellphone was cancelled.huhuhu...In another time, hopefully before my birthday.

My very first blog entry

This is my first time to create a blog and as my first blog entry, I wanted to share why I chose such a name as my blog address. Last December 2002 I had an operation. My gallbladder was removed. A few months after the operation I notice that every time I eat fatty foods, a few moments later I have to rush to the bathroom. Even when i'm dining with friends I have to excuse myself just to go to the bathroom. Jebs is a slang term for shit..hehe..that is why the name jebbyjebs. It's been almost 5 years since the operation but I still experience that kind of pain in my stomach. I've already asked a doctor, he just told me to eat fiber-rich food and refrain from eating fatty foods. But i'm stubborn, I refuse to give up lechon..*lol*.. I have learned to deal with this problem. I just hope that someday i'll get better. That is if I start listening to what my doctor said...
