A Love Letter

While browsing craigslist I come across this love letter... I wonder why that person posted it in craigslist...hmmm it must be love!

-----

Dear Someone,

I'm writing on Craigslist because I don't have the courage to write to you instead. It is with a vain hope that you will someday get ahold of this letter and know how exactly I feel toward you.

You had captured my attention, quite possibly my heart, too, that first time. Your words are eloquent yet unassuming; simple yet expressive. It would probably sound incredible but I remember thinking I could almost hear your voice reading your email off of my screen. And what a journey it has been. You've seen me through the toughest, lowest point of my life. I never felt more understood, more accepted by anyone. You've taught me a lot about life and living since then. I know we've agreed to be friends, but can I change my mind and say I'd like for us to be more than that?

I've made a deal with Cupid. I paid him a great price to find me Mr. Right. After attempt number one has disintegrated to a mutual consent to lead separate life and cease the pursuit of a life together, I've set my mind on continuing on by my lonely self. I'd thought to ask Cupid for a refund for poor service quality. Was it he that brought you to me?

I'm sorely tempted to believe Lady Fate is averse to me being happy. It seems like she does everything in her power for the right love to occur at the wrong time or it being with the wrong person. But how can something that feels so good be so impossibly impossible? My warm, restless nights bring chilly days to yours.

Oh, Someone, I'll have you unconditionally. Knowing you has taught me what it means to accept someone fully. And yet it's a sad thing to note that indeed, love is true not when it hurts, but when it hurts no more...

If it isn't meant to be, I shall live the rest of my life being your friend, despite the ache and the longing...

I wish you a lifetime of happiness, love, acceptance and bliss.

Always,

Your Secret Admirer

Missing Me?

Lately I am so busy... so many things to do and so many things running in my mind and I am trying to figure out on how to keep it all work out.

I know I need to relax and take things slowly but I can't do it..

I wish I can....

but it's not me...

Shopping for Condo?

Yesterday we visited a condo near GMA, actually it's a preselling condo. The price is a great deal but the place is too small. I realized that I can't settle in a small place. So.. I changed my mind of purchasing a condo.

We went to Megamall trying just trying to freshen up and met condo agents. There are some nice condos, bigger and in better location but the price I can't afford. For a 3 Bedroom it costs 5M. Since we thought of getting a condo is also one way of investing but I think this is not the right time for us to purchase one.

So.. we are now checking new options...

Passing by...

There is nothing much to post today. We went out just to check out something and realized so many things. We need to seriously invest because we are so tired of renting. I hope clients will also send more and unending tasks. We really need it now...

Mood: Tired!

Yehey!!!

It's time to celebrate...

last weekend my full time client asked me to cut my working hours because he can't afford to pay me full time anymore..

so sad...

if you are used to earn $500/week then drop to $200/week you will definitely feel bad...

today... before going out with friends I had an interview...

then hired!!

after an hour I apply and receive interview invitation...

after two hours...

got hired!!

I may not earn more just like last year but at least I know I am getting there...

I am so thankful...

I never stop believing...

Saturday

It's my rest day. We go out to meet friends and it's nice to be with friends with the same passion. We had a great time...

We discussed in getting a health card. As a freelancer I think we really need one especially for kids and we decided to avail Maxicare health insurance.

Today... I am thinking for purchasing a condo. wahhh magkano ba yon? piso? hahay!

Wednesday Update...

Right after spending our day at the coffee shop we went to shopwise for our grocery. Every wednesday is grocery time. We bought Gareth milk, 1 pack of diaper and food for the whole week. Since we are not eating red meat we bought fish, chicken and vegetable. I also bought Gerber (banana flavor) for Gareth because he don't like the banana we bought from the market.

At 5.m. went to our room then turn on the AC and had my rest for about 3 hours. I stop talking to smart cust. service, I really need to rest and forgot about them. When I woke up I checked my email again through unsecured wifi in our area but the connection is too slow but enough to check my email. Then I received a call from smart that my connection is okay so we checked it right away. Now... back to normal.

I also would like to share that my brother who is under my custody since my father died is now the pain in the ass. Last saturday (valentines day) he asked us to go out with friends and promised to come home at 8p.m. At 8 p.m while we are in the restaurant celebrating our valentines he texted me that he can't make it at 8p.m and asked for extension until 10p.m. We went home around 10p.m. but he was not at home yet. I called him but he just drop my call. I was so worried! I keep on texting and calling him but still no answer. At around 12:45a.m. he came home. I was so mad at him! Well, he has a gf but I never met the girl yet so i don't really care. My brother is only 15 years. old and I always told him to be responsible in his every action. Because of what he did he is now grounded for a week and that is the reason why he is taking care of Gareth while we are out. He can't go to school for a week and can't go with friends anymore!

As the eldest I am really strict to my siblings. They also know that I always meant what I said and they are very careful of it but it seems that my brother is really testing me and now he got what he deserved.

As early as now I am now learning on how to discipline a teenager and I hope that I will succeed. As a whole my brother is a good kid, he knows how to clean the house, wash our clothes and taking care of Gareth but sometimes he is doing things as typical teenagers did. I am just so worried for his future that is why I am doing my best to teach him to be responsible. I hope that he learned from this experience.

It's now 3a.m.. time to sleep... Goodnight!!

Argh!

I woke up around 8a.m. the earliest! I talked to smartbro customer service because I don't have internet connection. They keep on telling to just monitor my connection. I was an irate caller. I can't live a day without checking my email.

As usual, we are here in the coffee shop and my husband used my lappy first just to finish his urgent task. I fall asleep and spent too much here for food. argh!

They just called and so sorry that still until this time I don't have internet connection. Since I am used to work at night, my mind now is not yet working. I really can't work. I am two days delay in my task and I have a writing and research project to finish within the day.

I drink coffee already but still I am not in the mood of working. My mind is not working and I really hate this! If I don't get enough sleep I know that I can't function well. oh my! masungit ako ngayon!

Inspired...

Since I have a problem with internet connection I spend most of my time creating this new art. I made four! whew! I can't believe it.




My Tuesday...

I forgot to pay my internet bill and when I woke up to check my email I was so upset because I can't log in then realized that I miss paying the bill. So here I am in the coffee shop with free wifi. This is the advantage of having a laptop because I can work anywhere specially in a situation like this.

I left while Gareth is sleeping and my brother is the one taking care of him. He is quite okay now. Thanks God!

My husband went to smart office to pay our internet bill. hahay!

I had my interview an hour ago right in the time that I arrive here in the coffee shop. It's a commission base work and I hope I can do the job. I really wish! The pay is high but depends on my work. I hope I can do this. At first I am hesitant to accept the job but when they discuss the system I fully understand. My client is impress in my profile and wanted me to be part of the company and who am I to say NO?? I will definitely try this...

I am also waiting for the payment of my boss. Well it's been 3 months but until now I haven't receive the payment. So sad... I really need it now and he just keep on promising. He told me that the payment is on process and I will receive the notice today. I hope so!

Random...

I only have one active task for today and I am looking forward receiving new tasks or get a new client this week. As a freelancer there are times that I have more task and dry moments so it is very important to save. I think it’s about time to learn something new so that I can find a job with a higher pay. I am still saving for it since taking up short course is also expensive.

Anyway, Gareth has diarrhea since yesterday and I am monitoring his food intake. He is still super active and as if he is not experiencing diarrhea but I am still so worried because this happen before and I hope he will feel better soon.

Here is my valentine scrappy. :)

Happy Valentines everyone!!

Friday...

It was 6a.m. when I am done doing my task and still I can't sleep. I decided to rearrange my living room for a more relaxing set up. I realized that the toys of Gareth are occupying too much space. I can't place any additional home accessories or decors because Gareth will just rearrange and drop everything.

I woke up around 3p.m and I can feel the summer heat already. I also receive a package that contains Gareth new items from Old Navy. A new cargo pants, jacket and a shoes. This things complete my day.

I also would like to share this picture. Taken last wednesday at SM Megamall.

Happy Valentine Everyone!

Wish.. Wish

I am on a no meat diet since November and so far I lose few inches in my waistline. I still need to lose 5 more inches in my tummy area and since I got the result I am now taking this one seriously to have a nice beach body (arrgh i wish! ). I am exercising at least 3 times a week for 15 minutes and sometimes swim for an hour during my non-busy days.

In the pics below I am wearing the same pants. Before pics was taken last October 2008 and the After pics taken today Feb. 11.

My Man




You Have Him Totally Hooked



Your guy is all yours - and happily so.

He loves being around you, and he totally sees you as a couple.

It looks like you two have a great future together - if you want it!

Sunday...

I woke up late again because I sleep late around 5a.m. I woke up around 3p.m. then I got a message from a client. I got a new task.

Then.. open my lappy and work for 3 hours. I need to finish a certain task just to meet my quota this week. Then went to church, Gareth cried everytime he heard church hymns, and had our dinner, a grill squid and garlic rice. Love it!

I had my pedicure while my hubby and Gareth stayed in Shopwise. I wanted to have a hair spa but I am in a hurry because I need to work.

Anyway... I took this quiz too.





You Were an Achieving Kid



When you were a kid, people often remarked on how mature you seemed. You acted quite adult.

You excelled at school, and you actually enjoyed it to a large extent. No one had to ask you to do your homework.



As a kid, you were probably a bit picky. You liked structure, schedules, and organization.

You had trouble being friends with regular kids. You probably were only friends with other serious children.

Coffee Table Book


This is my first attempt of creating a coffee table book page.

I will post updates tomorrow.

Friday, February 6, 2009

Over...

OMG, due to cold weather this afternoon I over sleep. I woke up 4pm and Gareth is beside me and asking me to hug him and put our blanket on.

I sleep well as if I am nothing to do. So here I am trying to figure out on how to finish my 3 tasks at the same time. It's a task outside oDesk so I can do this without worrying the screenshots. I can multitask...

so no worries...

Ordinary Day

Just staying at home and work while my T.V is on. Gareth is playing beside me while watching his favorite tv show. My husband is working upstairs and just go down to cook and eat. At 6p.m we decided to buy our grocery in Shopwise but had our coffee drink first. Gareth loves the white chocolate mocha while I am enjoying my mocha cold coffee with nachos. We went home around 9pm and had our dinner.

Now I am working again.. maybe until 5a.m. Work overload now and so thankful!

I am also checking youtube because I need to learn something. Youtube is great if you are looking for tutorial. It's save me of reading boring articles.

So... how's your day?

Need Cash...

Today is my payday and I got surprised that I can't withdraw using my oDesk card. My husband tried different banks but still no successful transaction. We supposed to pay our house and here we are worrying about it. I told my husband to log in to payoneer.com and ask for help. Luckily someone fix it and the issue is all about technical error. It's difficult if we are experiencing like this because the customer support of payoneer is only available during U.S business hours. I wish that they will provide 24-hour service.

Instead of buying our grocery today we just stay at home and order jollibee and tomorrow will be our grocery time.

It is so Complicated!! Can you Hande It?

The girl was 18 yrs. old when he met his 25 yrs. old bf. It was a very short relationship. A boy asked her to marry him but the girl refused. He promised good things but She was too young and not ready for commitment… they broke up.

Then the girl met a new guy. He wanted to marry her but Her family don’t want the Second guy… eventually they broke up… so complicated.

She met the Third Guy, long distance love affair… complicated… then broke up!

Fourth Guy came… the man of her dream. She was so adventurous. He was ready to settle down. She can’t stay in one place…. eventually lost communication. Broke up!

Fifth Guy a cool one. Stay with her no matter what. Capture her heart. Her family loves him. They are still together.

The Missing Guy, a college friend and a colleague. Love her in silence and one day surprised her… expresses his love in a crowd. She was speechless and believes that he’s not the one. Later… found out he might be the one and now looking for him.

and The fourth guy is now married and not happy. He wanted her back! He realized that she is the one. Remember... he is the man of her dreams. Still.. complicated!

Lesson: Love is so complicated!

Latest Addiction


Offer Unaccepted....

I got an interview today. I applied for SEO work and he offered me $150/month. Honestly I really want the job but we don't agree on the amount. I need to work full time for the work, meaning 8 hours a day and 6 days a week. The rate is not right. I am doing SEO work for a higher rate in a part time work. I am just sad that some are taking advantage. I have a reasonable rate but this one is really not enough. It's a right job but not so right rate.

If you are doing SEO work I know that you will agree with me. Doing SEO work is so time consuming and pain in the ass and I guess I deserve better rate... what do you think?

Trying it!!


Two years ago I was making digiscrapbook but since I don't have a right software I stop doing it. Today I downloaded a trial software and I tried it and start loving it.

I even printed my projects two years ago and so happy for the outcome and this time I will try doing it and this only mean that I have to buy new ink for my printer. LOL..

The ink of my printer is expensive and maybe if I have extra money I will let a printing company do it.

Motherhood, Career... etc

Last week I was so worried about my career situation so I send as many applications as I can. Yesterday I got 3 interviews and got hired in the two openings. These are part time jobs and thankful for it because I know it help us financially.

Lately I've been browsing my friends profile in friendster because I am still looking for that person. Sad to say I can't find that person but still I'm not losing hope. I hope soon...

As a work at home mom I got a chance of witnessing Gareth daily activities and lately I keep on shouting at him because he is so active and curious about so many things. He don't want me to control him. Oh well... motherhood things.. *sigh*

It's Monday and still feel restless and my mind is not working yet...
