Si Delia

Sabi ni Gene, pangalanan ko rin daw ung bagong laptop namin. He told me na he named his as "Delly"... Sabi ko he's weird. Sabi nya, mas ok daw yun, because it will make you loved and take care more of the laptop. Kaya eto, sumakay ako sa kalokohan nya... I named mine as "Delia". haha!

Delia was my third laptop since I started with the company. My first was also a Dell released last July 2008. The second was an IBM which was released last August 2008; and then Delia, the Dell Latitude E6400, which was released just a month ago. The great thing about the latter is that it was newly purchased by the company and I'm its first recipient. :) Mas maganda pa laptop namin kaysa mga seniors and other executives! haha! ^_^

Happy Tag - Day 4 (",)

Kindly ignore the days that lagged... hehe! There were happy hours during the days that I ignored jotting them down. I'll just start my Happy Tag Day 4 today. ;-)

Hmmm... something that made me happy? The thought that I'm going to see Mai-Mai hours from now. We're gonna meet around midnight. hehe.. She'll go straight to my office after her shift at 11:00PM. We'll just have a late midnight drink at Greenbelt. We haven't seen each other for 2 years and 3 months!!! haha ^_^

Happy Tag - Day 3 (",)

Taught of: March 2, 2009 @ 11:58PM

Written: March 3, 2009 @ 11:30AM

• I had a wonderful morning exercise walk going to the office.
  
• I was able to catch breakfast at eCafe. (Breakfast is only served ‘til 7:50AM.) It always feels great to have my stomach full first thing in the morning.
  
• I had dinner with Gene, Ethan and Rene at Kenny Rogers. We ordered Roasted Chicken, and treated ourselves with Choco Fudge-Sundae at McDo.
  
• Before the clock strikes at midnight, Joms went to my area at 12^th floor (His area is at the 6^th floor), to help me out with the almost hundred confirmation letters that I have to send out! I already finished folding the letters and inserting business reply envelops; he helped me out by pasting/sealing the envelopes. Weheee! J

• I thank God for His shared energy. I’m still alert at work, even though the past week had really been tiring. As I mentioned in my previous entries, the earliest time I go home is at 11:30PM!!! Thank God I’m still alive and kicking – and not that sleepy when I’m working overtime at the office.

• At 2:00AM (I still included this as part of Happy Day 3), Joms, Tessa and I went to Starbucks to have a cup of coffee, and a slice of chocolate cake. We talked about anything – lovelife, work, and friends. I went back to the dormitory around 3:00AM. Well, so much had happened for Day 3, yet it still ended well. =)

Be Happy!

Happy Tag - Day 2 (",)

Written: March 1, 2009 @ 10:05PM

Yeah…! =) The ERASERHEADS concert will be on March 7 at SM Mall of Asia-Ground Area! :-)

As their advertisement says… out of the 100million fans, only a hundred thousand will be accommodated. This means that there will really be a lot of people. And ‘tis will be a history-in-the-making.

For My happy tag day 2???? My roommate, Nang Arlene, offered to bring me along for the Eheads concert this coming Saturday!

And what made me jump for joy?? It is for FREE!!!! (“,)

And what made me happier?? The ticket slot was the one that costs 3000pesos, next for the VIP seats. Hehe..! It’s an invitation. Hopefully, she’ll be able to purchase the tickets by tomorrow.

*crosses-fingers!*

Happy Tag - Day 1 (",)

written: Feb. 28, 2009 @ 11:19PM

This is my happy tag number one! And since it’s my first, I want to change the format of jotting down happy things. I will list down the bad (and worst) things that happened to me, and how I reacted to the situation.

***Ethan, Gene, Rene and I were planning about our trip to Bacolod. Yes, they are going to my hometown!!! We discussed about the dates and our availability.***

L-R: Ethan, Rene and Gene

Feb. 28, 2009 @ 12:01AM

When the first minute of this day started, the rate for the flight schedule that I’m booking for Manila-Bacolod flight increased. And it’s not just a peso, or a hundred increased. The rate increased by 216%!!! If we try to talk on figures here, while I was processing, for example, the 1000peso rate (just one-way) Manila-Bacolod flight, it changed to 2160pesos!!! With just a blink of an eye.

…note: The rates changed while I was processing for my payment for the flight. Hence, the process I made was unsuccessful.

@ 2:30AM

To add more injury, the three unsuccessful flight schedules I made online was charged to my credit card (I called my bank to check on my bookings). I was able to verify that I have 6 floating charges. I know that the first three were valid, but the latter 3 charges were really inappropriate.

@ 3:00AM

And more injury… when I called my merchant (the airline), the customer service department said that I had no name for the bookings I made earlier. (See??? The last 3 charges were really invalid!)

@3:15AM

And serious injury… when I called again my bank, the 3 invalid floating charges had made me to be over my credit limit. Huwaaaat?!?!?!

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

What made me happy, despite all the worst that happened above?

• @ 2:30AM, I was able to finish the footing of financial reports by an audit client that a senior asked me to do. There were quite a lot of revision and my senior said thanks when I finished the work.


• Despite being overly drawn to work for the whole week (the earliest time I go home is at 11:30PM!!!), I never felt asleep when I decided to spend overnight at the office last Friday ‘til wee hours of Saturday.


• Joms, a classmate during review, also spent overnight at the office. Around 4:00AM, he sent me a message if we can have coffee together at Starbucks. And what made me happy? It was his treat! Haha! ^_^ Kidding… the best and happy part was that we were able to reminisce the times we had back during review and talk about life and the people closest to us.

• @6:30AM, I decided to go back to the dormitory and found out that there were now 3 security guards downstairs. Hmmm, more security! Hehe


• I wake up at 10:00AM and told my roommate, Nang Arlene, about my dilemma on my bookings and the invalid charges. I asked if I could use her card. She agreed!


• I went online to book again our Manila-Bacolod flights for August and thankfully, it was successfully done!


• At 2:00PM, Nang Arlene and I spent lunch at the nearby restaurant (wla p kmi ligo! Haha…). We had some gurly talk – which also includes Edward Cullen (the vampire) and Jacob Black (the werewolf). Haha! She’s very much addicted to Twilight. :p


• I sleep again when we returned to the dormitory and wake up at 6:00PM. Hahaha! Thank you Lord for the sleep. :) I was able to take a bath, do my laundry, buy medicine, treat myself with Mcdo burgers, talk to my brother over the phone, finish filing the working papers for my 2 audit clients, update my files in our audit softwares, do the draft of my happy tag day 1, and fixed my clutters under my bed (haha!). At 1:30AM, I’m done!


• And the best of these things, I finally started jotting down my happy tag NUMBER 1. ^_^


• At 2:00AM, I am at dreamland. Hihi… :-)

Happiness depends on seeing a situation to a perspective of a happy person. Being happy is always a choice we have to make.

Happy Tags!

I should have started these happy tags way back months ago (Blame me for being lazy to jot down my thoughts! Hehe) Happy tag entries were just kept in the corners of my mind and bugged me time and time again. Haha! Happy tags… Happy tags… there were numerous happy days and if only, I could write them one by one without sacrificing my readers for reading loooooong entries (haha!).

I know… I know… I’m delayed with the happy tag. (Hence, I will no longer jot down the happy things that happened days baaaack.) I’ll keep things current. Haha!

I’ll start my happy tag on the first day that I start my happy tag number 1 (please proceed to the next entry). J

This happy tag was noted to me by Ellen, my high school buddy. I was able to keep track of happy tags also through my multiply contacts.

RULES: Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing. Do this everyday for 8 days without fail. Tag 8 of you friends to do the same.

This Tag is kinda challenging to see the happy event that happened daily! Kinda something to look forward too!

To keep the happiness going, I’m tagging Steph, Imman, Nelmar, Spooky, Boogie, Bernie, Jireh, Ate Noreen, Achi Dens, Darlene, Cring^2x, Hannah, Ems parrot, Mimay, Katie, Joir, (should there only be 8 persons that I should tag?) hehe… More and more! To those who want to live a happy life, grab a pen and jot your happiness down! :-)

"Happiness cannot come from without.
It must come from within. It is not what we see
and touch or that which others do for us
which makes us happy; it is that which
we think and feel and do,
first for the other fellow and
then for ourselves."
-Helen Keller
