Panaginip

"Napanaginipan kita. Ang ganda ng office pero hindi dito, tapos puro foreigners kasama mo."


Ang unang pumasok sa isip ko noon "Ah, baka magte-training ako abroad". Hindi ko nakalimutan ang panaginip ni Abby, dati kong kasama sa Shell. Nakakatuwa isipin na pagkalipas ng ilang taon, at sino ang mag-aakala, na ito ay magkakatotoo. Yun nga lang, ako ang banyaga at hindi ang mgakasama ko :-)


=======================================


Nagising ako sa kaluskos ng mga ibon sa may bubungan. Tinignan ko ang oras at nang makita kong maaga pa, pinikit ko muli ang mga mata ko. Maya maya ay may naririnig ako mula sa labas na nagsasalita ng ingles. Sandali akong napa-isip at nagtaka. Pagkalipas ng ilang minuto, napagtanto ko na hindi ito isang panaginip. Oo nga pala, nasa Australia ako :-)

MYpaDY

Salamat sa tax refund :-)

But..I cannot download nor upload some applications as apple has restricted those :-(
After using this for three days now, I reckon, iPad is only good for web browsing, social networking and playing games (as i write this, hubby is seriously playing his fave game). As compared to iPhone 4, the resolution of the photo taken from iPhone 4 is way much better than iPad. After all, we have no regrets in buying this. Reading my bible plan online is now more fun ;-)


An apple a day, keeps the doctor away hehe

Bloopers

It took us several takes before we finally came up with a video message for Papa Cesar's 94th birthday. This will be shown on his celebration. We had fun while making the video clip. Kung makatawa eh hehe.. Enjoy watching!

winner ang buntong hininga hehe

Winter, it is!

Leaves are starting to fall off the ground. Another season is about to begin. Thank you, Autumn!

Along Victoria Parade

And it is time to put on your pair of boots..Hello winter!!

After the Sunday service

Hands

It paid off! Hubby passed his second CPA subject
with a grade of "C".
I am so proud of you, Dy! I know that career
development is one of the various reasons that you
are giving your best and sacrifices for this endeavour.
May God bless the work of your hands.

It was my first time to put color on my little fingernails.
Bagay ba? hihi
Oh how I love holding your hand..

Break time!

Some of the not so serious conversations at the office :-)

John: Pam, what is the name of your husband again?

Me: Cesar.

John: Cesar, as in Julius Caesar?

Me: Yup!

John: Oh, that is why he marry a princess.

John: What are your plans for the weekend? Are you going to cook something special for your husband?

Me: We are going to celebrate.

John: What is the celebration for?

Me: My husband passed his CPA exam.

John: Oh!! Give me a big kiss to your husband for me. And congratulations.

Me: I will. Thank you, John!

Not a single day that (tatay) John doesn't forget to ask how i am doing and on fridays, our (i and hubby) plans for the weekend. He also always invite us to join them watch footy. Actually, most of the people in the office do greet each other and love to have a small talk. I just love that kind of culture that is within our office. I do not feel like a stranger.

Eddie: How do you pronounce your last name, Pam?

Me: Carino. Actually, it's Cariño. We have that alphabet in the Phillipines. We seldom use it here because other people is having a hard time saying it. (kailangan super explain?? Wehehe)

Eddie: Ah! It's Cariño. Do you know the meaning of that (Cariñoso) in Spanish?

Me: What?

Eddie: Affection.

Naks!

Me: Uno dos tres kwatro singko syete otso nwebe dyes

Eddie: Continue. Let me see how far you can go.

Me: (pasikat) Onse dose trese katorse...blah blah blah

Eddie: (amazed) Good job!

Naman!! As if I can really speak spanish.

While in the meeting room discussing the month end activities and Eddie is counting the invoices.

Me: (naghikab ng bonggang bongga)

Eddie: I know Pam, this is boring.

Nyahaha!!

Eddie: By the way, Jenny is my girlfriend. Your husband's name is?

Me: Cesar

Eddie: Karen's is Charles.

Me: How about Darren's?

Eddie: Troy.

Me: I mean his girlfriend's name.

Eddie: Yeah, it's Troy. That is his partner's name. Oh my God, you don't know.

Ayayay!!

Eddie is my cool manager and he is Mexican.

Nick: Pam can you help me?

Me: Yeah sure.

Nick: How do you spell toner?

Me: (writing on paper) toner.

Nick: Pam, how do you spell queries?

Pam: q-u-e-r-i-e-s

Buti na lang best in spelling ako nung grade school ;-)

Pam: We have a friend who is going to undergo chemotheraphy and we are raising funds by selling raffle tickets.

Nick: What is chemotheraphy?

Pam: Ahmmm...she is going to have her treatment.

Whew!! Hirap mag-explain. Nose bleed eto!

Nick is my teammate and seatmate and he is from China.

Christina: (saying something in English)

Someone from AR team: Please translate in English.

If you are watching Modern Family then you know the character of Gloria. Christina's accent is the same with Gloria's. Can you imagine now the scenario in our office? :-D

I have found my place. My every day in the office will not end without having a good laugh. This is what I have prayed for and it was given. Thank you, 'Tay!

Stormy blue

We can't wait for Monday afternoon. Our hopes are high, fingers crossed, and praying for favor. If it is positive, it will be our first :)

Miyerkules: Grilled or Fried??

I've waited for Cesar to come home to help me operate the oven. Our dinner is supposed to be grilled chicken but the oven was not so cooperative, then we both gave up, and so TADAA!!! it turned into fried chicken (hihi).

Makuha ka sa sauce! :)

Fantastic four!

I always read Jenn Punzalan's blog. I really admire the way they bring up their kids. By reading her blog, I am learning few tips on parenting and I am inspired to be a good, responsible and godly parent.

When I watched this video, parang gusto ko rin ng four kids.. Dy, what do you think?? :))

Martes: Sinigang na hipon

One of my favorites!

Lunes: Ampalaya con carne at daing na bangus

I am a housewife! Yes!! I have written down the menu for the week and yesterday was a success. Yey!! Thank God He has given me a husband who appreciates and likes all the food that I cook (wala naman kasi syang choice haha!) And thank you Mama for your handwritten recipes. Sobrang helpful!

It's month end! Kaya I make sure dinner is ready
when hubby gets home. Pampawala ng pagod :)
Kainan na!

Random shots

Hello Autumn! Last week the weather hit 8 degrees

Healthy living. Ahem..yoghurt for brekky :)

Happy 1.4 and Happy 10!!

Let's celebrate love at Nando's

What do Nando's chicken have that others don't??
It's the sauce! The hot sauce!

Cesar's song: When Did You Fall by Chris Rice
"Have you been waiting long? When did you fall in love with me?"

Kailan nga ba?? Ang alam ko lang mahal kita mula noon hanggang habambuhay. Hindi nagbago ang pag-ibig ko at hindi magbabago. At mas minamahal kita habang lumilipas ang panahon..

I love you Dy.

Our friendly neighbour

This cat used to passed by our backyard
every morning. I called him/her miming :)

Home Sweet Home

For two days, we have finished unpacking all our stuff. We were actually surprised that we did it for only two days (except the backyard). Among the houses that we've inspected, this was our first choice :-) We are so thankful that our application was approved. Though some of the furnitures were damaged, all in all, the move was less stressful than what we have expected.

My kitchen rules! :) Green it is! My fave :)

The hardworking husband :) Good job dy!
