Life as I know it..
YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS BUT IM NO GOOD AT..conversation.. i tend to run out of words to say and im afraid to ask question that i might offend somebody and ironing, thats why im always teasing Glen that by now He should practice doing it otherwise, He will be run after by an iron..LOL
TO WAKE MYSELF UP I.. open my bed side lamp, so i know that its already bright and need to get up.
LAST THING AT NIGHT I.. prayed and thank for the day i had, eventhough its not good as i planned or something unexpected happened.
IF I HAVE TIME TO MYSELF I.. always make sure that im reading a good book have a nice long shower and im well groomed, clean nails, hair not tied up and doing some notes..
WHEN IM FEELING DOWN I.. just tuck my self into bed or go outside and look for someone that i can talk.
MY "HAPPY PLACE" IS..my small but cozy room.
THE WORST THING YOU COULD SAY TO ME IS.. im dull and boring..(and bossy)
THE BEST THING MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME IS.."pakikisama" and looking back where you once been.. tried and tested, im not where I am now without believing that philosophy.
MY BIGGEST WEAKNESS IS..character debate, love ones.. it break my heart if i saw a love one being hurt or was hurt by someone.
MY BESTFRIENDS ARE.. my family, i can tell them anything under the sun
THE BEST DAYs OF MY LIFE WAS..being with family and love one again (jan'08) after two long years,when i came here in England and oct 02, 02 (figure it out!)
THE MOST ROMANTIC THING ANYONE HAS DONE FOR ME.. valentine candle dinner sa jollibee, lacson ave. Pooh friendship day at glorietta ('02) at lying under the star sa luneta ground.. and anything basta with glenn.
THE LAST FILM I SAW.. sex and the city.. hehe, im shocked with some scenes im not being innocent or anything but still..(lol)
THE SONG I CANT GET OUT OF MY HEAD IS.. amazing and dance with my fathe..
ON MY LAST HOLIDAY.. i spent the first week with glenn, then family and on my last week i met old friends from colleges.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD I WANTED TO BE.. a nurse or a doctor, a pediatrician particularly.
IF I COULD BE ANYONE ELSE ID BE.. the Quee, cause I want to use the influence and power to help the needy all over the world.
MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE IS.. my daddy and of course my nanay.. love you both!
MY PROUDEST MOMENT IS.. actually everytime that I knew that ive done something good to others. and definitely my college graduation its every parents dream for their child.
THE SHOP I CANT WALK PAST WITHOUT BUYING ANYHTING IS.. before woolworths, i super loved their DVD bargains.
THE BOOK IM READING NOW IS.. Under the duvet by marian keys and i just finished "Can you keep a secret by sophie kinsella.. and the shoppahollic series is on the way now.. (bought it from amazon.com

ONE DAY IN MY LIFE..
Like now, im here in my room all alone, sitting in front of the laptop (which has been my life for the past 5 months). ive just finish watching tfc and now im editing this post. there is a part of me that terribly miss home. sometimes i was thinking, "what if i didnt come here? , im i Happier", "will i be able to feel all of these?", "would I become the persom I am now?", Will i wear the same perfume?".. may be yes and maybe not..
I am very thankful that the path of life cross me in these experiences, I met some good friends, i spent time with relatives, i experience studying here, i experience being alone, i humbled a lot, i have things, I learn to value more my family, my friends and love ones..(and more)
sometimes, we need to experience all of these to learnt he true meaning of life although sometimes its painful, but we learn to fight and it strengthen us more. and still believe that inspite all of these Life is too short to waste.. live .love and laugh!

i am a Caregiver
have you seen sharon cuneta's new movie titled "caregiver". it was shot here in the UK, most of Us filipino's here in england are very excited with the movie. (i think sharon will come for the premiere, or she already came)*my apology*
im a sharonian ever since and i cant wait to see the movie, ive seen the trailer may times and, it put me to tears,its because its like seeing myself with the character being a caregiver here.it gives a different impact,actually its really a mixed emotion, because i can relate with the kind of work and i know the hardship of being a caregiver, there are times na some residents will just crown you or kick you, but you cant do anything di mo nman pwedeng gantihan, first mentally, theyre already ill and they dont know what theyre doing most of the times, second thats why we got a job because of their situations and third, you are there to look after them and make sure they're alright.
being a caregiver is a very humbling job, most of us is a proffesional in the Philippines and because we're seeking for a good life for our family back home, we endure all the pain, the loneliness, the hardship and just take where the wind blows us. there are some patients and co-workers who are racist and will give you a hard time just because they dont want your colour, the place where you came from, they will criticise the way you speak and so on.. but inspite all that being a filipino and known for a hardworking you will accept everything and just be patient and just pray..
in my own experience, being a caregiver here in the UK open my eyes to the real world.. its not easy to make money, no work no pay! when i was starting, i found the job very degrading,and kept asking myself why i am here?! but as the time past by i begun to love the job and the patient, sometimes your day wouldnt complete without seeing your favourite resident, and its an achievement when you teach them something and they will still remember after a few days and when they do remember your name. its a very nice feeling. but on the other hand when somebody dies we also feel that a part of the family has gone, we just think that its already time to end their suffering and they will have a journey where life is more beautiful.
It is a tiring job as well, you'll get backpain, knee pain from keeping on walking up and down, headache and hign blood (as for me!lol) but at the end of the month when we receive our payslip.. everything will be fine(lol)
