Its been more than a week now since i last posted.... just been so busy with Christmas, shopping, and work. anyhow here's my week as an overview...
First, I had a friendship with someone that just got a lot better and closer -- made me look into things differently and made me realize how easy it is to forgive.
Second, more self control when it comes to my emotions although i always go nuts with my partners annoying habit... lolz...
Third, I have a cellphone to use for the mean time... yey! feels great to reconnect with old friends...
Fourth, I met up with High school Barkadas and made me realize how lucky I am to have such friends that I know will always be there and the connection will never be tainted by time or space.
Fifth, Just so glad that through the year 2012 me and my fiancée are covered with so much work and so busy earning bucks for our savings that i am glad we were able to share a bit of it to families, friends, and to others as well....
- BTW i forgot to add on my new year resolution is to never miss a check up for my son, go have myself check as well regularly bec. everyone knows health is wealth....
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! lets end the year with a blast.... no work for me! yay!

Dec 17, 2012
I started the day with a resolution in mind that I will change. and I will change for the better... I started with my self... hahaha... kakagising ko palang na break ko na kagad - pero it's ok hindi naman ako on-off switch that can change in just a few hours.... anu nangyari??
I have an appointment by 9am that I was hesitant to attend so, I stayed up playing some games and just watch dvd... i ended up with only 2 hours of sleep when my sister had to wake me up to remind me that someone will pick me up by 9am... eh isa sa mga sakit ko ay ang pagiging so grumpy kapag kulang ang tulog so i do the "old banayad grumpiness - w/c is ang maglakad at magsalita ng tuloy tuloy without a care basta ma express lang ang kabanasan" hahaha... i was reminded by my hubby about it so that when i stopped. hahaha anu ba yan ilan oras pa lang eh ngkamali na ako.,.. so when the van came, i started with smiling and being polite to everyone i meet. after 4 hours pagkauwi ko, i started with being nice with everyone and even though antok na ako and with my little cousins kakulitan i really tried to control myself and just ask them as nice as possible not to be maingay!! hehehe.. i had a good 4 hours of sleep and by 5pm we went to sm where kahit dami tao only positive vibes!! xmas rush can really be hustle pero with teamwork saglit lang at naconquer din namin at least half of what i need to buy... all the kids gifts are done.. yung para na lang sa teammates, few inaanaks at for my parents na lang ang kulang!! so i still have a week... although may pasok i still have 1 day off na sana masingit ko at makabili ako ng xmas gift ko!! hehehehe... any ways overall it was a great day that i was able to spend the day with my son.. btw nun natulog ako ng 4 hrs katabi ko baby ko w/c is already heaven and then when we went to sm, kahit nakakahilo at mabigat i carried him for the most time...
not everything you want, you can get, nothing is impossible as long as you try your best and never give up... i am still a work in progress... it may take me years before i can remove negativity from my thinking/habit but as long as i keep an open mind and think first before i act i can do anything.... for my son, for my family.... for myself...

Letting go...
Today is Dec 17, 2012 - only 4 days before the end of the world (12-21-12) and 8 days before Christmas 2012...
1. Looking at myself.
I look at a mirror and saw someone I don't know. This person standing in front of me is a stranger, with dark circles around the eyes, dull skin, dry hair, big tummy and dark aura - is this really me. I smiled but I just saw a girl pretending to be happy. I tried to tuck my burgeoning belly - nope that didn't trick my eyes in seeing what i have let go so much... my own body. Dressing up is the hardest, nothing looks good at you. What have i done? what will i do....
2. Ms. Pessimist
Why do i look at the glass always half empty and not half full... why don't i learn to let go of things that had happened in the past. I tell myself to start thinking positively, to learn to forgive and forget, learn to move, to take risk and be more adventurous. the year has passed and i didn't grow. i just moved back, stepped back not just one step but maybe even 10. what have i'd become? what will i do....
3. the next year 2013....
This year have not been that good to me, i have to admit that i have been uncontrollable and that i have always let my emotions get the best of me. what should i do now. should i wait 14 more days before i start doing something.... i dont want to wait anymore... ill start with myself, then my family, then friends and the list will go on....
SORRY to everyone i have hurt. SORRY to the things i have said. SORRY for anything that i might have done that in any way have upset you or disappointed you.
4. MOVING on today and for a better life...
I still dont know where life will take me, what i really want to see myself in. but today ill start with caring for myself and for everyone. this year is not the best but i have to make it better.
give me a second chance? if i fall dont judge me. if i make it, will you be there to celebrate with me? if i need help can you push me a little so i can reach the finish line...
i have to move on. things that have happen i need to accept it and start with moving on. living each day with no regrets.. i am only young once and may never get the chance again. ill start with de-cluttering my life.
5. For my new life...start each day with a prayer to God and a smile
a. take care of my son and husband.
b. control emotions and think before you speak
c. learn to forgive and always take the higher ground
d. take care of your body and health - life is a gift and there is so many things i still want to do and can only do if i have a strong body.
e. organize and de-clutter stuff, room, things, life, love, friends and family
f. Start making plans
g. take risk - know what you want and work hard for it
h. study.study.study - - - learn new skills, go up!!
i. read more!
j. make a list and do it!
k. open self to new things.....
l. be flexible!
m. be someone you want to be and not someone you don't want to be friends with....
n. give more
o. help without expecting anything in return.
p. be sweet and caring
q. listen to music
r. start dancing again....
s. SMILE
t. LOVE
u. learn to cook
v. travel
w. write everyday.

finding myself....
I was in my room, playing some apps when a thought came into my mind. something that I just have to write about. I know my blog is not famous nor do I have any followers ( I don't really intend to have a follower at all since, literally i am not a writer) but I am doing this for myself, a way to express whatever I have in my mind at the moment I write stuff... I don't proof read my blogs, so most of the time - there could be grammar errors or even redundancy of words...
I remember back in college (1st year) when one my (now best) friend called me, back then we were not really close nor do we often talk in class. she is one of the people I know who will say what she wants and will not care what others think of her, she has this strong personality that will often intimidate or annoy others. she is just being herself, back then a few of our classmates are annoyed by her antics. i dont really remember the whole reason why they dont like her then. anyway getting back to the phone conversation.. i dont know how it really went then but i think it was like this...\
kai: uhm nhel, kai to / nhel: uy kai napatawag ka bakit? / kai: nhel may tanong lang ako sana sayo sana sagutin mo ako ng totoo / nhel: ok, ano ba yun / kai: may mga naiinis ba sa akin sa room / nhel: oo meron
and our conversation went on for a several minutes... basically we were getting to know each other more. i only answered her questions as frankly as i can. base on her character, i feel that she is strong enough to know the truth and not be bothered by it - and i am correct. she then said thank you to me at the end for telling her and that she feels relieved since she now knows how people see her.. be then became one of the bestest friends...
at that point she mention that i was the most frank person she has met and she like me for that, for not caring what others will think as long as the people that matters to her life knows who she is and still likes her, someone who just stays true to what she wants/like.... someone who is strong and accepts others for who they are. the list can go on. (thank you kai for the praises)
right now, i look at myself and i am happy with my son. i am happy with working. but a part of me is lost, something within me is making me unhappy from time to time, and i know i have change. i know i am still to find my true self and worth. i am at war with my own mind as i have been going through so many emotional stuff, i guess i dont know who i am right now. i know that i am a mother of my son, a wife to xtian, the daughter to my parents and sister to my siblings. but who i really am as a person is still a question. whatever happen to the girl who just follow what she wants and who doesnt care what others think. i grew up, my priorities change, i feel that i am still me, but something is still missing....

habagat, diet, OT, KINNECT
how are you? i hope you were not struck with floods during the heavy rains... i was fortunate enough to live in a place where we don't really get flooded the water just pas through our house fast then subsides fast. we didn't lose electricity nor phone line.. i feel really blessed to be able to spend Tuesday with my son and family. I have 2 teammates from our office that wasn't able to save much from their belongings. we are currently contacting them so that we can help them in any way. i already save 2 flat shoes as a gift to them so that they can use this for work... (the shoes are brand new from my stock).
diet is so so going not the way i plan. i eat what i want and when i want it. i do hope i can lessen the fats from my meals but im trying out doing exercise. eating more greens and drinking more liquid. this past few days i have been feeling sick and in a bad mood, so by this week i'll get myself check up. i want a full check up...
We are blessed to have a great monetary incentive for every hour of OT so most of my time is taken by me rendering more oT's that i wasn't even aware i was capable of. the business is giving us £7.50/hr aside from the OT pay. great right? so i am grabbing it while it last.. we are saving for a computer. last cut-off i had 42 hrs of OT. this cut off im going to try 35 hrs. Goodluck to me!!\
we went out today (sunday) and bought ourselves the xbox kinnect... man, it was really fun (for now) we will try in using this as a way for us to lose weight... ill be buying the dance central games this week to, we have 3 games so far for kinnect sport, adventures and party dance. so i want to buy more dance games and more sports games so that we can have fun and be a little more healthy.... yeah...
i am so freakin' tired played for almost 3hours nonstop!! gotta rest!!

CUT encarnacion group of salon review
I GOT MY HAIR REBONDED....
heheheh.... AT
the last time i had my hair done was back in 2009 - i had loreal extenso hair treatment ( i don't know the spelling) for me was one of the best treatment since i am a fan of straight sleek hair. It was a lot like rebonding except it gives your hair body so it looks naturally straight and makes your hair really smooth...
I then became a bum so without a work i cant afford the luxury of having my hair done. i was planning on having my hair rebonded around Nov 2010 ( i was waiting for my 13th month paycheck since i started working again around mid july) but then i found out that i was expecting a baby.. so careful as i am, i was scared of the products and chemical that maybe harmful to the baby. i gave birth around may 2011 and since with the complication and the hospital bill making us tight to our wallets until feb of this year - so treating oneself to a 6k treatment is not so practical at that point. we then wanted a big celebration for my son's 1st bday so of course all our money savings has to be for the party. it was only until last sunday that my partner convince me to take the time out and have my hair done.. (my normal pampering is having foot spa and pedicure) so i gave in. His mom then recommended we go to "cut" w/c offers rebonding for 800 pes0s.. yes 800 pesos only... i was really skeptical abt it but of course i just found myself not backing off from the offer bec i really want my hair done.
end result? it was fabulous! my hair is still great even after several wash. its soft, flowing straight and really black. hahaha.. its my real hair color. anyways the service was fast and the people were nice. its not your high end salon but they really made the effort. they didnt rush the process nor did they skimp out on the chemicals bec i have a really long hair.
base on the comments i had bec of my hair it was a great choice...

IDEA: Lose Weight and be fit!
before I fell pregnant with Godric i was weighing around 115 lbs and i think my waist size was around 28. I am not the skinny type of girl, i was always this chubby person. I now weigh 133 lbs (I know! what happen right?...) I didn't pay much attention to this since i feel there is no way i can get back with my old body. so today i will start to lose weight and be more fit. I don't really know how i will do this but I'm thinking of dragging myself to the gym today.
so GOAL: 115 lbs
have a trimmer stomach, lose this chubby arms and tone my legs...
i think i want to get back in dancing too... since thats how I was able to reach 105 lbs back in my college days... better do a lot of bending and ab crunches... I'll keep track of the food i'll eat here and hopefully with this blog i will be able to hold on to my goal... hahahaha...
at the same time, i want to do some fixin' in myself like my hair which is in need of a good treatment...
will i be able to do this.. i hope so...
Please Nhel you have to do this for yourself ( talking to myself)

so far i love blabbering in front of a keyboard... just typing whatever comes into my mind but i am and well known for starting something that I never really sticks to. for now i am still thinking of what i really want to do with my life and what i want to become. i think i can write here some of my thoughts, maybe help me stay on track... hahahaha! i gotta go, my partner will be coming home soon and since its raining i have the car and will pick him up from work!! goodnight...

07.22.2012 SM NORTH
I came home from work around 5 a.m. since my shift ends at 4 a.m., me and my partner then played with our computer - him with his diablo and me reading with my samsung video. At around 12 my mom woke me up and we went to sm north with my son, sister, brother and cousin... it was a post celebration for my mom and dad's 27th wedding anniversary (07.20)
We dine at TRES. they have this great deal that you can buy a sizzling sisig for P33.00 (yes! 33 pesos lang) for a minimum purchase of P500.00 - (which i think is the minimum cost of eating at tres based on the prices of their menus)...
We tried their signature dish BEEF KARE-KARE ( I think it was for around P353 - i am not sure) - the ox stripe was cooked really well that it was really easy to cut with spoon and the beef was just cook just right to give become soft and tender. the sauce is great, really rich peanut taste and with enough sweetness. the vegetable are not overcook, although i feel that the price is a bit too high for the serving. the serving is good for two.
we also tried BEEF SALPICAO (P343) , and their signature rice KALKAG RICE (baby shrimp) (P183)
beef salpicao
kalkag rice
will i go back? YES
why yes? bec i still want to try their other dishes like the ff:
Dinuguang Lechon Kawali P243
Lechon Rice P243
Gambas Al Ajillo P283
Lengua Con Setas P353
Choco Lava P153
aren't they mouth watering... their serving is good for two....
after dining at tres we decided to drink some coffee at KRISPY KREME and did a little bit of grocery.
