Christmas of 2011
I used to park in a very expensive parking lot in Ortigas with a very poor facility. Sometimes I go beyond the 160 pesos mark if there are a lot of things to do in the office. Worst, I lose my ticket and never get to reimburse it.
So with recommendations from my officemate, I tried this parking at ortigas, 500 meters away from my office. Only 50 pesos flat rate for the entire day. Facility is...

I have this craving for starbucks coffee for weeks now. I can’t believe that it won’t go away. Sigh, bakit?
Ngayon, naiintindihan ko na ang lahat. Reason number 3, yun na nga yun. I just hope na matutunan ko na ang dapat kong matutunan sa experience na yun.

I WILL love him forever
my very own mocha frapp
My plan today is to work in a coffee shop where I can enjoy my cup of coffee and be productive. But when I was accounting my salary last 27th, I was shocked! 1000 pesos gone like that?!
I guess I just have to postpone my plans today and just make the most of my resources here at home. Glad I we have an ice (its very difficult to make ice on our 20+ years old refrigerator. Well, this is another...

A-ok
Now, I can finally say wholeheartedly that I AM OKAY! The Melody I knew back then is BACK.
Thank You! Thank You for the worst days and worst experiences, these have taught me things that I will carry for the rest of my live. Your love never fail to amaze me.
food
Before we used to have a LOT of food at home. My appetite back then can be unlimited but at present, its very different.
We are having our food at home rationed. In the morning we surrender our empty tumbler and in the evening the tumbler comes back with 3 viands for only 200 pesos. Since we have monster appetite, the food can’t cater to the four of us. So what I do is just to eat outside...
Looking at the blogs of different people over the internet, I can help but asked this question “when will my turn be?”

bakit nawala ang mga pangarap ko sa buhay ng isang iglap? Binabalikan ko ang mga larawan ng nakaraan, masaya naman pala ang aking buhay.Bakit? Bakit?
Minsan ayaw ko na masyadong galit, galit sa mundo dahil baka mamatay lang ako ng maaga.Try ko kaya maging happier this time? Paano ko kaya gagawin yun? Saan kaya ako mag sisimula?
RAWR morning
Stella, bumalik ka na! Ibang klase ang kaguluhan sa bahay, I guess I really can’t live on my own, yet!
Nawawala ang damit ko pang office, ang kalat ng kwarto ko, nawawala ang relo ko at ihigit sa lahat 10 minutes late pala ang relo sa cellphone ko RAWR!
Nagising ako ng 6:30 na! Coding ako, so nagmadali ako. Biglang, wala na akong damit pang office! Kakaiba, nawawala yung mga damit ko.

ramdom thoughts
Ang dami dami kong random thoughts kanina sa office, pero nakalimutan ko na ang mga ito. Sana may blackberry na lang o kaya naman broadband na may access sa mga ganitong sites para pag may naisip type kaagad.
For the first time in years, super irregular na ako. Hormonal change? Or stress lang?
Ang awkward na ng pakiramdam kapag nakakasalubong kita sa hallways. Paano ba naman kasi, para sa isang...

Today was a very long and tiring day. Meetings here and there plus the fact that I have a class from 1 pm to 3 pm. I went home at around 9:30 PM already.
Anyways, I have been diligent in filling out the frugalbudgetpinoy spreadsheet that I got from www.frugalpinoy.com At first it was very very difficult to have that discipline to write all your expenses after a day. Pero nakuha ko na...

sudon. The serving is too small, not unlike with what’s on the photo on your menu board. I was also surprised that the miso soup was not hot nor even warm. It was really cold! So I asked politely if they can change it to a warmer bowl of soup. I finished eating my katsudon but my miso soup wasn’t replaced yet. So I went to Mr Reynante Ramos, cashier to asked him if I can refund the...

Pasko 2010
Marami akong natangap na blessings this year, kaya naisip ko na mag share.
Kinuha ko yung tray mula sa christmas tray namin sa office at pinuno ko ng pagkain na makita ko sa bahay. May instant noodles, pineapple juice, coffee at kung ano ano pa. tapos binalot ko ito ng christmas wrapper.
Hinahanap ko si jang jang, yung batang basurero sa labas ng bahay namin ngunit wala siya.

Browsing through tumblr, twitter, multiply and facebook… I see some of my former batchmates in hs and in college having the grandest days of their lives partying, shopping, studying and travelling the world.
I envy them, I want to do these too but I don’t have the means.
Yesterday when I spoke to God, I told him that even if I am not rich/blessed with material things, I feel so rich...
I may not have a perfect family but my family is wonderful. They give me strength, courage and determination to overcome any trials and obstacles in life.
Thank you Lord for the wonderful blessing called THE FAMILY.
Can’t wait to go home and eat a piece of cake from amici
So many things to do, so little time. Wish there’s 48 hours in a day!

P and I ate at KFC - I pc. hot and crispy chicken and 1 big coleslaw to share.We then went to megamall to look for a new bag or a new shoe; our reward to ourselves once our var pay is released. We both wanted to eat at DQ but because of budget constraints we ended up eating scramble. Yum! Yum! At 17 pesos my craving for...

Distancing’s more like it.
And besides, I can still attach myself from a distance, right?
It’s like fishing. You’re the fish and I’m the fisherman.

Yesterday, I visited my favorite station where my favorite people are. They treated me to coke and halo halo why I brought them Pizza for merienda. It was freakin’ hot, I was too scared that they might suffer from heat stroke.
Anyways, Jing and I bonded over pizza and coke. She was telling me how she is stretching her salary of 382 pesos per day. She helps her sister’s family and...
