#Bestfoodforward

Best Food Forward is happening this coming weekend at The NBC Tent, BGC. I always love Mercatos and Banchettos everywhere because this is where you can see innovative and unique food dishes. These are places where little entrepreneurs showcase their products and I am sure that Best Food Forward have more unique and delicious foods to offer. I like exercising but I love food more ;) and I can't wait to attend the Best Food Forward fair with my brothers and sisters-in-law to just eat, appreciate and bond over food :)

Mature Life

It's been a while since my last post and I have been really busy with work, family and everything about life in general. I'm dying but good thing I have a wonderful boyfriend who inspires and motivate me Hihi!

Anyway, all I want to post about are the things that keep me busy :)

1. Bills

I am starting to pay the bills for our house and seriously, IT'S CRAZY! Our electric and water bills are stressful. Plus, budgeting for food is super stressful when there are around 15 people in your house. Although, I'm good with the responsibility. But I just don't really like holding too much money. I think I'm more of a spender than a saver, which is really bad that's why as much as possible, I try to save.

2. Work

I have resigned from Starbucks a month ago and I started working for our family business 2 weeks ago. Working with your brothers is both fun and irritating. It's fun when you get to go out during work hours because I semi hold my time. Boo yeah. It's kind of stressful though because there are a lot of work to be done and issues to fix. This week is full of meetings and I am kind of dying. Some of the old issues in my life is coming back and I can't help it. It's just so hard to work with your family and then be just that. Bla blah bla. It's hard but I don't want to give up. I just wish there's another way.

3. Love life

When I'm not with family or friends, I'm with this little boy ❤ Although our relationship is a very crazy rollercoaster ride these past few weeks, I still love him to bits. Despite all the differences, I still manage to deal with everything even if sometimes I feel alone, boo! But I know that we can survive. ONE MONTH AND A FEW DAYS LEFT BEFORE WE TURN ONE 😍 Can't believed that he survived my PMS days and all those panlalaits from all my brothers. Cheesy but I love this guy so much, I couldn't ask for more.

4. Friends

These people are that people who keep me sane after all the craziness in the real world (WOW) But seriously, I don't know how I can survive without these people. I just wish I could just travel and stay with LFF's for a loooong time! The city's getting crazy and we must get out. Anyway, every after work, I have been going out because I need to. So yeh, sometimes they are the reason why my nights are busy. But it's a good type of busy :)

I've only started working just a month ago but I feel like I've been in this company for a year. Not only the work load has made me feel this way but also the fun people I'm working with. Despite the distance and the long travel time, the sometimes rush hour MRT ride, I'm quite happy with work plus I love what I'm doing.

Come Christmas time, I will die because of all the work load for the seasonal hires we will be getting but I know that I can make it because of my awesome teammates and the occasional stress reliever of all time, FREE CHOCOLATE DRINKS/HOT CHOCO :)

Work has also been my escape from all the over thinking I'm doing during my bum days. It has also been my escape if I don't want to go home yet. I just wish I could feel better about that other thing. I don't want to get used to this, I don't want to always feel like this. A little care would really be appreciated, if you really do.

Be happy

Something to do.

Last March 2012, I went down the hill and unto the real world... Well not really. I have been bumming for a 3 months, exactly as I planned. I enjoyed my vacation with family and friends I love. This one was really a summer to remember and it's ending soon. I'm about to start working and I'm excited & scared at the same time. I'm excited to finally have more independence in my life and gain some learning experience. At the same time, I'm scared to disappoint myself and make mistakes but what's the point of learning without mistakes, right? So this Friday, I will have my first MRT rush hour ride :) Also, I will be working in a field I am really planning to work in, Human Resource. Although I am unsure on what will happen, I know that I will be happy because I have something to do that I like.

Someone to love. 
PS: May contain a lot of cheesy-ness.
As some of you may know (for those who follows me on Tumblr), I am in love and very happy. I swear, last May 9, 2012, we were infinite ♡ Cheesy but pretty much... yeah. Not what I expected but I know that what I have now is something I am very grateful for. He may not be the perfect boyfriend but he is perfect for me. Nothing really matters much if you love the person and I totally accept all the imperfections in our relationship 'coz I swear, I'm also not a perfect girlfriend. The memories and love we share, I will forever cherish. Although the future still awaits for our relationship and a lot will still happen, right now, I am happy :)

Something to hope for.
I have been a volunteer for Gawad Kalinga for quite some time. I started from my Youth for Christ days and my heart never left Gawad Kalinga (GK). GK has a dream that the Filipinos will be out of poverty in 2024. Doubtful? I'm not, together with millions of volunteers all over the world (Filipino or not) Yes, even foreigners believe in this vision and dream and GK does not discriminate anyone as long as you have a heart of a Filipino and for the Filipino people. (Some foreigners are more Filipino than Filipinos, if you know what I mean). I am excited and hopeful for a first world Philippines and together, I know that we can do this.

Mr. Brightside

This is a brilliant ad, especially during this time where all we see are bad and depressing news everywhere in the media. Personally, it made me think about life and how I view it (especially during this time where I make everything a problem bwahahaha). I always feel like "pasan ko ang buong mundo" but in reality, I have a very happy and blessed life. I'm just looking at the wrong side of the world that's why I'm feeling this way. This ad reminded me to look at the brighter side of life, where stolen kisses, crazy people, good people and love exists and it is what's more important than wars, rallies and  disasters. 


It is just so amazing that one simple ad like this can make a huge impact on my life. Ads like this make me believe that the media can still be relied upon for something inspiring. So I would like to congratulate Coca Cola for this wonderful idea :)
