It's amazing when...

It's amazing how simple words of appreciation (not that I am kulang sa pansin) at work can take out all the hardships and eyebags. (*wink*)

It's more amazing when you come to a happy home at the end of the day; the stress at work won't matter at all.

It's most amazing when we sleep peacefully with a big smile painted on our face because we know we did the best that we can (at work, at home, taking care of relationships) without expecting in return.

It's ultra amazing when we know what really matters in life. :)

PS. If you are looking for another fun and feel good reading, Winello the Cat's blog can paint a big smile inside your heart.  Yes, he's my charming kittycat.

Happy are those who sleep peacefully

Our kittycat is a joy to watch especially when he's asleep. I guess he dreamt that we did a belly rub for him. Amazing how he held his feet up that long!



This creature is truly a stress reliever. :) :) :)

This week's wrapping up very merrily

• The credit card company temporarily blocked my access (until they spoke to me) because "there were charges to it, like charging a storm". Apparently, I rarely use my card unless I need to do bookings online, regular bills payment, etc. It's a matter of choice in order to avoid/minimize debts. Anyway, I charged up a "storm" because in a day, I did all the necessary bookings for a couple of trips which are happening at different quarters of this year. The good news was that the credit card company sent me vouchers worth almost P6,000 to be spent on furniture and lifestyle shoppes. Incidentally, I qualified for a promotion because of the amount of charges. Hahahahaha. Kita mo nga naman, perfect timing sa promotion.
• We got the buy 1, take 1 tickets to the Formula One (Abu Dhabi prix) this year. It's discounted + take 1 ticket pa. Yeheeeeeey! Thanks to a friend who helped me with this deal. I can't wait to know who are performing for the three-night after race concerts. Last year, we had the time of our lives appreciating the music of Kanye West, Linkin Park, and Prince. 
• And of course, Scotty McCreery won American Idol (AI)! I love Casey Abrams and when he was eliminated, I hanged on to following AI because Scotty was still there. I know the criticisms about him, but I still like him. He has the charisma and I feel better when I listen to him. In case you don't know, I'm his number 1 fan in Abu Dhabi! Heeheee.
• I was able to teach new trick to Winello, our charming kitten. When I will look at his eyes and say "sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleeeeeeep....", he would obey as he realizes that it was time to sleep. But there was one time that I fell asleep earlier than him (and I was seated-sleep) as I was repeating the magic word and people at home was laughing at me and was chanting "wake up, wake up, wake up!" Hahahaha.

Work is getting crazier, as usual. But sources of cheer are flourishing! What a balance eh? I wish all of you the same. :)

Scotty and Winello

Just a shout out that I'm extremely busy nowadays but I'm happy because I'm still able to keep a balanced life. And I hope that you all do, too. :)

I'm especially happy that Scotty McCreery made it to top 3 of American Idol. Although I hoped that James Durbin would emerge as the ultimate winner because he seemed to need it more for his family and of course, he is more deserving. Yeah, that's me trying to be objective. I absolutely like Scotty (I'm his number 1 fan in Abu Dhabi heeehee) but James is more talented.

I'm also happy and it's making a big change in our lives because we adopted a pet cat. His name is Winello. A combination of "winner" and "hello". We wanted it to sound cheerful and optimistic, eh. You can see his photos and read more about him here.
