People of my 2012

My 2012 is my most productive year. I was able to accomplish a lot of things, I went to Boracay alone, went to an orphanage, got my 2nd store, got a new place with my sister. So many things, but ofcourse I won't be able to do these things without the people who loved and supported me all the way.

So here they are:
( from left)

1. My sister Ann and mitch - well they will always be a part of my success and failures, they have no choice hahaha..I woudn't be here right without these two, they were there for me when I was so down     they always tease me that i'm the bunso, well I think with them around, I am the bunso because they never fail to take care of me, and guide me. I love them so much from the bottom of my heart

2. My girlfriends - Abbie, twit and mimi

Bessie- Our friendship has been tested a million times already hehe, but here we are still the best of friends. She's silent most of the time, I can't ask her anytime to go out or  bond with me, but she makes sure that I'm ok, she makes sure my decisions are right specially when it comes to love. She's like my big sister. The most patient person I know, she doesnt give easily( hmmmm) .

Mimi- the coolest friend ever, this year we got to talk and bond a lot. She is very transparent, i can talk to her about anything. I can always ask her about anything, i love this girl so much. I can cry, get amd and laugh with her. A friend that I can always depend on.

Twit- hmmm ka love and hate relationship ko..hehehe..crazy, pasaway,,but sometimes she makes sense din naman. haha. The person who never fails to call and ask me if im ok. 

Friends, I may not have a perfect life right now, but with you around, solve na solve na ako. You guys taught me a lot of things, lalo na sa pag aasawa..hehe. And I will always keep those things in mind. I love you!

3. Tita Bonnie - She will always be a part of whatever I do. I will  never get tired of saying this but she is my inspiration, there were times that I wanted to get mad at her, when we do accounting, sometimes I don't listen to her, i just do things my own, and when I fail she will still be there. she makes sure that I just don't manage a business, she makes that I manage it well. Thank you tita.

4. My employees- paano ko ba naman sila hindi isasama dito, I talk and see them everyday hehe. They make me mad sometimes, but I love them so much. I am so blessed to have them because they are understanding and mababait. Without them I can't run my business, without my bakers, there will be no hot Pandesal to sell. I hope and pray that 2013 will be more productive for us.

5. My skatzeepoo- we are the busiest single women in the world hehehehe. Inspite of our very busy schedule, we can still talk about what's happening in our lives, we laughed and cried about small things.  I don't know if something happens I always want her to know it, i love this girl so much. she supports me in everything that I do, not all pala she's good in making sermon too.hehe I love u so much my schatzee poopoo!!

6. Ronneey- my parekoy! We never got the chance to be super close in high school. Pero saludo ako sa taong ito. May prinsipyo sa buhay. Very humble and marunong tumingin sa pinangalingan, he inspires me a lot lalo na the way he treats his Mother. siguro napipikon na sya sa kakakulit ko sa kanya on Viber, asking him the same question over and over again. Super the best tong taong to. Maasahan sa lahat ng bagay. Thanks parekoy! More trips for 2013 hehe.

7. Rosalyn - ang nanay ng barkada! The person I can be crazy with  because we both are hehehe. I will never forget that time when I was crying and I texted her, and pinuntahan nya ako agad, i was like a kid hugging her. Ibang klase mag alaga. thank you mars for always being there for me..mwahz.

And to the man that cannot be named: You've been a part of my 2010, 2011, 2012 but not my 2013 and to the next years to come. ^^

Christmas Wishlist

Wow, in less than 2 months we'll be celebrating Christmas again. GASTOS! Honestly, I'm surprised how time passes so fast, few months ago I was just thinking what to do on my 30th birthday, and now I'm thinking how ill end my 2012 right. I always have my wishlist, but these are just material things, I am already blessed and contented for all the things I have right now. Aside for the things that I want, I pray that God will give me more strength, knowledge( for the business), direction and patience, protection for my family and for the people that work for me. I am so blessed already, and I give all the  glory to our mighty God.

So here are the things that I hope someday or sana before Christmas I can get hehehe:

                                          Lots of bedsheets and pillows

                                              Hays when kaya? I really want one.

                                        Lord willing I'll have on on November^^

                                                      I want one so badly!

                                             No time for gym, why not bring the gym at home? hehe

 

                                              Yes I want a new bed..A white one.

I miss this place, and I don't know I just want to try going here on a December^^

So there, ang dami kong wish no? hehe but I have this habit lately I want something I say it aloud and claim it's mine already for example " I'm having that Iphone soon", it really works for me. To testify here are some that came true :)

Yes the chocolate it's so hard to find one hehehe kidding!I think I posted something about this perfume ages ago, I said that hopefully we' have a Chanel store in the country, and we already have yehey! pero  I wasn't able to buy pa ren, I don't know masakit sa loob ko to spend thousands just for a perfume. kaya I'm so blessed to have good friends, a great guy friend Ronnie, he asked me what I want for my 30th birthday, though it came late he still sent it, he's the sweetest!

The Babe: I told mysef that I should have a boyfriend before December, no matter what!I'm not naman in a hurry, basta I have my reasons. Anyway, so here my Yanosh, my babe. I'm so glad I met him, a very humble and relaxed guy. We are just enjoying what we have right now.^^

I am Seminar

I am so blessed to be a part of this 2 days seminar. My Tita Bonnie has been bugging me about this, but i told her that that i cant because i'm too busy. Aside from my busy schedule, the price is really expensive for a seminar(4500). The seminar is called Discovery, life and leadership. I wasn't that interested at first, I even had my stolen naps hehehe. The facilitator of this program is Russ Juzon, and with the help of his mentor Arnold Anog, and to my surprise they are both Christians, and i think almost all of them are.

The program Is called I am.  This is all about knowing yourself better and what keeps us from reaching our goals. I had a lot of "Aha moments", i really discovered a lot about myself, bad and good. Its true that before we can love others truly, we have to love ourselves first. Before we can trust others we have to trust trust ourselves first. The people who hurts us, those who don't believe in us, they will not change for us, they wont even care if  we feel bad about them. We need to change the way we react or feel to thos people. I've heard people sharing their own downfalls in life during the seminar, problems with parents, with siblings, and the most common themselves. What I admire the most in this program is that the speakers never failed to insert God's word. To my surprise even the author of the book Younique Mr. Jayson Lo attended the seminar,( i even had a picture with him hehehe). His book is similar with the program I am.

Grabeh, there are too many things to share about this program. I saw tough looking men cried their hearts out.

With the Staff

With Morgan Freeman este Arnold pala hehe

With my buddy for 2 days, she's a cry baby hehe

With Russ

Yehey natapos ko hehe

wahahaha

hehe my tita bought a christian book??happy^^

On being brave...

Yeah, I watched the movie The Brave, hehe. I really liked the story, for me the title didn't really define the story. It's about relationships, good thing my Mom joined us, we had an argument 2 days ago, and it's really hard not to talk back sometimes. Specially when you know in your heart is just your justifying or trying to make her understand you point. Me and my mom are okay, I mean we talk, we help each other, but we have a lot of differences. I know it's okay to be brave sometimes, i mean like all the time hehe. Because everyday is a battle, specially for us Christians, we have to stand on our posts(our faith) we have to protect it against the enemy..and how? We have to LISTEN. Now I know why me and mama always argue, because I never listen I answer because that's what I feel, I don't listen. Same with the Bible, his words, how can I obey, if i don't listen or even read and try to understand his purpose?

We can be brave but with the help of our Lord Jesus christ, i don't know if im making sense here hehe. I just want to share on how God reveals things sometimes. I just want to share this very funny scenario, when I got my non pro driver's license, I told myself that ill show my family how brave i am, ill show off my driving skills hehe. But before I even started the engine, these words just came out " Lord protect us". And that's what I still do before I drive. Our faith on him, his love for us, that makes us brave.^^

The movie is really nice^^ God bless us all

Bogus Seller

I'm really upset about my last purchase on Ebay. As I said on my last post I have been buying Roxy stuff online.And I was so excited about this watch I bought on ebay the seller's account name is signature_brands,her name is Maria Erlina Flores i deposited the payment,she gave me the tracking number, checked the tracking number online, and she gave me an invalid one, was texting and calling her, but got no reply. So guys please be careful on buying online well on ebay better check the feedback and ebay protection. Well I think meeting up is much better.

So guys, please be careful! like what my friends said maybe she needed the money more. May God bless her!

I love ROXY!

I really had a hard time looking for a Roxy shop here in our country, unfortunately we don't have one. There are some but it sells more billabong and quicksilver. I first fell in love with the Roxy board shorts  it's perfect for the beach and not too "mahalay" hehe. What I love about roxy is that you can be fashionable even if you're the sporty type of person, I'm not really sporty naman but I don't consider myself so kikay, not at all actually, It depends on my mood, but since I'm always on the go, you'll often see me wearing leggings, paired with a shirt, flipflops and a big bag. Anyways, i think if you'll ask me what my style is? Roxy will best describe me it, everything about Roxy. They have dresses, skirts, tops, bags, surf stuff..

I remember my Mom once told me that one of the traits that she likes about me, is me being persistent, "kapag may ginusto ka you make sure you get it". Not all the time naman, but this applies more on things that I like badly hehehe..Anyways here are my recent Roxy purchases (  quite pricey though pero..it's Roxy naman hehe)

And these would be the next(lord willing) 

I am blessed!

Yes, I am. In many and different ways. I did mention in my previous post that I will be posting 30 things that I wished for my birthday, unfortunately I'm still contemplating. I realized that the blessings I receive from the moment I wake up, see my Lola alive, my mom, my brother, the food I eat from breakfast to dinner, the clothes I wear, the people that work for me that's why I'm earning is countless. There are so many things to thank God for, so many that I feel that it's too much for a sinner like me. But what can I do? God loves me that much and he wants the best for me. He used and still uses people to guide me and inspire me. And this verse in the bible reminded me "in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" Thessalonians 5:18

Most of the time I just thank him if things go my way, and if doesn't I blame him. Yes, that's how stubborn I am most of the time. I pray with ceasing. I always tell him I need him, but most of the time I doubt his love for me, I doubt if he can keep his promises like people do. God never failed, I always fail him, but inspite all that, he showers me with love and beautiful blessings. I will be sharing all the blessings I received, that I never thought would be given to me in right away.

1. Having my own business is always included in my prayers, like a big one, where I can manage everything:finances, people etc. God used my mom to convince me, she convinced me to handle a Pandesalan( which is my favorite hehe saw saw sa kape).So here my first branch of Lili's hot pandesal, and by God's grace we have 15 branches now. ^^

2. I asked God  to give me a boyfriend (sana) before my 30th birthday, hehe but I think God is still working on our love story. So I told God" Lord, kung hindi boyfriend car na lang", I remember pastors will always say that when you pray, BE SPECIFIC!So here's our first owned Innova.

3. When you're into business, there are so many things to learn, in our line of business, there are so many competitors, and our goal ofcourse is to expand. I did open another 2 stores that didn't pick up meaning in layman's term(lugi) hehe. I really cried, I felt like I was not doing well. I think God was just trying to teach me how to be more humble, how to spend my money wisely, how to handle people well, so I waited and prayed, and he the again answered my prayer. My 2nd branch.

See how God loves me so much?All of us he wants the best for us, hindi pwede ang pwede na sa kanya. I will be posting more next time. I will be leaving you with this verse;

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be open to you" Matthew 7:7

Nike lovin'

I love bags, our family love bags. But with the kind of lifestyle I have, i need bags that are roomy and east to carry, because I go out most of the time and I always have coins(tons). I'm now addicted to Nike bags not just for the name itself, but the quality and ...hello? it's Nike. hehe. I got myself one and trust me it's very useful, i use it when I go to the gym, or when I have to check on my bakeries. So here some of the bags on my list:

Miss- match

Tamaan na ng kidlat kung sino sa inyo ang never naglaro ng paper dolls??hehe I did, i did!I loved paper dolls. But since we are living in an advanced technology, we can do almost everything now online. Thanks to miss-match.com.ph, I admire the women who thought of this idea..good job ladies.!I had fun doing miss matching, so here are mine:

Let's go Italian..

How can I forget Italy? it's the 2nd european country i've been to. I had this thinking that they must have the most delicious pastas in the world, the only thing that I wanted to try when I went there is spaghetti with meatballs, to my surprise, it was not good as i was expecting, it tasted like a plain tomato sauce.

So main courser, failed. How about dessert?? now we're talking..you can see ice cream stands anywhere, and  anywhere and i'm telling you European ice cream is awesome. 

Thank God we also have here in the country..super same..

Introducing MokkiLato..grabeh super yummy..

You guys should try Strawberries and cream!!!!!

I love cheap!

I love cheap but nice stuff, i love freebies, discounts..who doesnt naman dba?I even love free tastes!Anyways, been thrift shop hopping for the past few days, I need clothes, because all I have now are almost shirts and dresses( which I can't use most of the time). Anyways, I got this floral shorts from ukay.

P69.75 at Robinsons Department store!!

Let's go for the cheap!hehe

Happy 30th birthday to me...

Another dress thrifted and the bag too^^

Open back..

Since I gained weight, I got to wear dresses a lot. I used to wear jeans, folded sleeves shirts, basta I'm not the girly type. But ofcourse dresses are made for us girls. Since I can't wear sleeveless because of my 

batwing arms, pero I can wear open back^^. I just asked Ate Zeny( my mananahi) to make one for me, i"ll be posting after my birthday. Anyways, here are my inspirations:

enjoy and godbless everyone^^
