RT/WW: Yummy Mozzarella Fritto

Mozzarella Fritto

Spaghetti White Vongole E Gamberetti

My friends and I often eat at Jay-J's Inasal or at Mister Kabab. We love good, affordable food. The last time we met, we thought we'd eat at a place offering pasta. Tim suggested we eat at Amici. Place feels a bit like glamorized fast food. Pasta was okay. The Gamberetti that I ordered was good. But the other pasta that my friends ordered was bland.What I liked the most was the Mozzarella Fritto. From the name itself, it's mozzarella cheese covered with breading and deep fried. I loved that one! Too bad we didn't try their Gelati.

Happy Tuesday!

Friday! Weekend!

Yay!

Thank God it's Friday!

I love working but I also love weekends when I can read all I want without worrying about work time.

Friday today. I have 8 new books I bought last Wednesday and yesterday. I am excited to start reading! I will tell you more about my week and my new books in my next entry. I still have tons of work to do. Just wanted to update you, guys :)

Happy Friday! And have a great weekend everyone!

MYM - A trip to the Manila Ocean Park

I went to the Manila Ocean Park with my sister, Meng, and our little princess, Ninin. We went there last Friday, August 13th. It was our first time and we had fun watching different kinds of fishes swim in their uber big aquariums.

The photo above is of the aquanaut man who entertains the people in the tunnel.

I will post more photos of our trip to the Manila Ocean Park in my next entry.

Happy Monday everyone! Let's start our work week in a positive note.

Suddenly worried about a debt that's not mine

It's been four years now since I started working at home. I quit my corporate job as an Accounting Manager back in July of 2006. I opted to work at home after weighing the pros and cons. Clearly, I figured I would benefit more if I stop being a corporate rat and just concentrate on my online job. And you know what? It paid off!

I earned so much more in the past four years than the amount I earned in the five years before I quit the corporate world. I was able to pay bank and personal loans, credit card debts, and all other kinds of debts that I had. In short, for a long, long while, I was debt-free!

And I continue to be debt-free until five days ago. All of a sudden, I have a 200K bank loan that's about to be sent to a law office for debt collection processing. Imagine that!

The bank loan wasn't mine. It was a loan by a former co-worker. It was way back 5 years ago. I stupidly acquiesced to become a co-maker and now, I am worrying about a loan that I didn't even benefit from.

It was really sad. This kind of problem was what I'd been fighting not to have for the past decade. I finally conquered it 4 years ago and then this?! I was able to talk to the person who really loaned from the bank. She promised she'll take care of the loan. But I have a feeling that she will just disappear and I will be left to take care of her mess.

This is stressing me out! I have to find a way out of this problem ASAP! I don't want to pay for a loan that I didn't even get anything out of. It's just so darn unfair!

Blue Monday - iBlog3 meet up

This is my first time to join Blue Monday. And the reason why I thought to join was the photo above of the iBlog3: The Third Philippine Blogging Summit. It's the first ever blogging summit I joined way back in April 2007. I guess they're in iBlog6 now since as far as I know, they're doing the blogging summit every year.

I learned a lot during that blogging summit. I also met so many bloggers I only talked to before that online. I had a blast!

But then I didn't go back for the next iBlog summits after that. It didn't catch my attention that much anymore because I was busy with work. And then I got so busy with my problogging activities that I just let all the other blogging summits pass by.

I am thinking of being active in the blogging world once again. Reconnecting with my old blogging friends I somehow neglected because I focused more on work. And then once more reclaiming my place in the Philippine blogosphere.

Happy Monday to all!

40th Day

Last Thursday was my grandma's 40th day since she died. Here in the Philippines, we commemorate the death of a loved one 9 days, 40 days, and 1 year after.

I just feel that things are happening way too fast. My grandma died last June 26. And now it's been 43 days since and before we know it, it'll be her first death anniversary already!

I still feel numb when I think of it. It hasn't sink in yet. But I am trusting the Lord for all that happened.

RT/WW: Happy Birthday to me! =)

August 3. Today is my 32nd birthday. Happy birthday to me! I pray for good health and more blessings.

Hello August! =)

How was your July and what do you expect this August?

Time flies so fast! August is finally here! My birth month. The toughest month of the year (for me and the family, anyway).

The past month has been both good and somewhat sad to me. I was blessed with a lot of work and that translated to more than average earnings for me. I was able to fund some very important expenses. There are still so much to spend on but I felt good about what I accomplished in July. Sad because, well, we lost my grandmother. I said somewhat sad only because I was actually a bit happy with my grandma's passing. She is now in a better place and couldn't feel any amount of pain. That's why.

My goal this August is to just survive it. For the past decade and a half, August had always been a tough month for me and the family. There's always too many expenses to pay for and not enough resources coming in. I am hoping that won't happen this year. August of last year was somewhat better for us. I pray it will be better once more.

Anyway, I will be working harder than ever this month. The 'ber months are coming and it signal the holiday season!
