So proud of our dear Arjen! She won Best in Modelling out of the 70 participants in the Ms. United Nations. Keep it up! =)

August 23 is a REGULAR WORKING HOLIDAY

Yeah, you read it right!!! We have work. And I have to file a vacation leave on that day. One week to go... Hello Bora! I missed you! :)

And.. it's already our 1st year Anniversary. Excited!

Earth Hour - March 27, 2010

First of all, let me greet my batchmates: Happy 1st Anniversary to Metrobank ODP March 23 '09 Batch! Parang kailan lang, 1 year na pala yun. I soooo miss you guys!

Guys, let us show our support for Earth Hour on March 27 by turning off lights and other unnecessary electrical equipments from 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm. With this, we can save about 611MWh of electricity -- which is equivalent to a temporary shutdown of a dozen coal-fired powerplants.

Gheoff's Surprise

Gheoff and I met at Trinoma today. I am planning to buy accessories I will wear for Ate Lhyzsa's wedding this coming Sunday. We had lunch in Avenetto and he gave me the perfume from his dad. After that, he asked me to close my eyes. Hmmm.. Ano na naman kaya toh? I politely obeyed him and when I opened my eyes.. taddaahhh... this is what i saw:

I was speechless and just hugged and thanked him. His super advance birthday gift. Thanks so much baby! I super love it! =)

First Post for the New Year

For my first ever post for this year, I would like to share my answers to the guide questions I posted last Thursday:

1. What did I learn? (skills, knowledge, awareness, etc.)
Aside from the bank operations and strategies I learned from my Officer's Development Program last year, I learned the value of friendship, love and sacrifice. True friends will always be there whenever you need them, love can be lost and yet be found at the right time. We need to sacrifice some things in order to gain another.

2. What did I accomplish? A list of my wins and achievements.
I was able to travel to Boracay, had my 2 day vacation there before my ODP Training and I got my promotion. I also found the One. =)

3. What would I have done differently? Why?
I have no regrets in all the things I have done the past year.

4. What did I complete or release? What still feels incomplete to me?
None. =)

5. What were the most significant events of the year past? List the top three.
1. Vacation at Boracay.
2. My ODP Training and being Single at the same time.
3. Crossing paths with Gheoff. =)

6. What did I do right? What do I feel especially good about? What was my greatest contribution?
I feel good being able to surpass all the challenges last year. Imagine how hard it is to study for your final make or break exams for your promotion because your love life is in total disaster. Talk about emotional stress. What did I do right? I faced it heads up, with a strong heart and firm decision. I was able to move on in no time and I was happier than ever. Life has been tough but I was definitely tougher. =)

7. What were the fun things I did? What were the not-so-fun?
Next question please. Hahaha. =)

8. What were my biggest challenges/roadblocks/difficulties?
Same as above.

9. How am I different this year than last?
I am definitely stronger, wiser and more mature.

10. For what am I particularly grateful?
I am grateful that everything went back to normal. 2009 has been a rollercoaster ride for me. There has been many up and down moments. I am lucky because my family and friends are always there to support me. Everything that is happening has a purpose. We may not know it at first but we'll realize it at the end.

It's my Birthday Month! Yey! A year older again. Ready to face the challenges this year. =)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! It's new year's eve and I'm sick with cough and cold. Sad. Anyway, I got this from my fb account and I thought I could share this with you guys.

In order to embrace the new, we must release the old. A trapeze artist cannot swing from one bar to another without letting go. An important part of preparing for the New Year is to review the past year—to release it—and to learn from it.

The following questions should stimulate your thinking for this process. I hope that you take time out of your busy schedule this holiday season to ponder where you are and where you've been. Talk with people you care about. Write out your thoughts and feelings. Do some journaling. Consider writing a letter—an end-of the-year-epistle to yourself. It could be profound to write it and valuable to read it in the years ahead.

Reflect upon what you did, how you felt, what you liked, what you didn’t and what you learned. Try to look at yourself and your experience with as much objectivity as you can—much like a biographer would.

Here are some suggestions to get you started in mulling over the past year—perhaps the last decade. Feel free to add your own.

1. What did I learn? (skills, knowledge, awareness, etc.)
2. What did I accomplish? A list of my wins and achievements.
3. What would I have done differently? Why?
4. What did I complete or release? What still feels incomplete to me?
5. What were the most significant events of the year past? List the top three.
6. What did I do right? What do I feel especially good about? What was my greatest contribution?
7. What were the fun things I did? What were the not-so-fun?
8. What were my biggest challenges/roadblocks/difficulties?

9. How am I different this year than last?
10. For what am I particularly grateful?

Another Suggestion: Consider listing all the things in your life of which you’d like to let go—anything you no longer want. Give thanks for what they've brought you in terms of learning and usefulness and then burn the list. It's a symbolic gesture to help you release the old and be open to the new. The next step is to list what you do want—experiences, knowledge, material things, relationships, healings, whatever.

I'm confident that anything you can do to make this year-end more dramatic in terms of your own personal and spiritual growth will be valuable.
