Cory Aquino died yesterday. I woke up with a text message from dino, from jiggy which made it official news. Today, we all planned to visit lsgh where the wake was held to give support to Jiggy and his family. I always find it sad when the reason i see my friends are because of death in the family. Anyway, Kynan picked me up along Katipunan so i didn't have to go through the trouble of parking

I've been taking pictures of lizzie since she was i think 9 months old. :) i can still remember the day they stepped in TPC Rockwell and i met her very nice parents sir richard and ms. katrina. They always request for me and thats something i'm quite proud off. :) After outdoor training we were required to submit our own outdoor shoot and since lizzie was of the right age (toddler) i decided to

I was going through my resumes today when somebody tells me i have a call. I answer and this person tells me she's from a eye specialist company. Eye specialist representative: Hi maam, is this Ara?Me: yes? what can i do for you?ESR: This is (name), i'm calling for (company name). We were wondering if you'd be interested in availing of our free eye check up?Me: ummm.. which company are you

I haven't been blogging lately (okay, lately is an understatement) but on my way home i was triggered to write about my encounter with a snail. yes. a SNAIL. I've been seeing them all over our sidewalk every time i go home at night, but today i was driving through our village, i saw an enormous one crossing the street. it left me wondering how long it took for it to get there. And considering

I want to write a book. have several concepts in mind but don't know how to start or which to pursue. the closest i have to writing a book, is writing on my blog. and for starters, my blog reader base if i do have one is quite dismal. i should write more sensible stuff.

One of the things i enjoy about work is our parties and how everyone gets creative when it comes to dressing up! :) Our theme for this year's Christmas party is Formal Ball and to add spice each store thought of a certain concept! :) MOA came as Ms. Universe contestants in their evening gown :) Podium as the cast of Beauty and the BeastRockwell as December BridesATC in their Filipiniana outfits

I've been hiring for TPC for quite some time now and i've encountered several peculiar and mind boggling situations, but one thing i don't get is how some people would involve their parents in their work situation.I didn't personally encounter it but on different occasions, at least 2 colleagues have confined that an applicant's mother would call about their daughters situation. Whether it be the

Went out on a date with four boys yesterday! Or baby sat rather, my little brothers and their friend Chino! lolI left work early, and got stuck in traffic for 2 1/2 hours! Mom texts asking if I was going home and if i could bring the boys to the village Christmas Party since they had other plans. Since i didn't have anything better to do, I said yes. We were late for the party and didn't have any

I'm being offered a new position in the company and I'm a bit hesitant to take the job since I feel like I'm not competent enough. Its creatives related and although I think I'm creative, I feel like i'm not THAT creative. Need to make a decision soon. I need a sign.

When I got home last Sunday, I decided to set up my macbook on the breakfast table. Dad was in the dining table working on his laptop, when the our dog, Serge, barks. Dad being his usual alert self stands up and goes out the balcony and says, "Why, Serge?" I retort, "Dad, hindi naman sasagot yan eh!" 10 seconds later he says, "Malay mo sumagot!" Oo nga naman.

Cat scored us tickets for the Twilight premier, via Dodge's connection in SM,  and so we were able to watch it early as we had originally planned! The cinema was packed with fan girls, including us, and every now an then you'd hear squeals from the audience, not including us! We were laughing with amusement at them.

Dad scored us tickets for the Rihanna and Chris Brown Concert! My friends suddenly decide to go the last minute and so i asked dad to inquire via Globe for discounted tickets. I only wanted the silver one since my friends were there but dad was able to get Plantinum! yay for dad!I ended up going with my sisters. The waiting and the traffic was a b*tch but it was worth it seeing them perform up

What is an American coffee? So i was ordering in Starbucks today and this old couple behind me started to order.. she said she wanted American Coffee for herself. The barista started explaining that they have Americano, if thats what she meant its espresso with water. The woman insisted that she wanted American coffee with creme. *scratches head*So what exactly did she mean? Did she just want an

We asked Avery to run and give them a brochure but he was too in awe! hahaha..

Halloween has always been a big thing for our family. This year, they decided to do it in our house since we just moved in. When i arrived last saturday, i was welcomed by life size stuffed prisoner outfits wearing ghoulish masks trying to escape from a cemetery backdrop. They were attached on our walls and there were cobwebs and freaky figures outside our house. Upon entering our front door, a

So i spent a pretty casual birthday at home and a visit to the island, since it was also grandparents day!We made "salubong" my birthday in Eastwood with SG (minus rissa and mau) since louie had an album launch for the band that he's managing Bembol Rockers.

Saying that I'm worried about the next week is an understatement. I have advance photography training and I only have 2 trainees. I haven't completed the training modules as well and need to do a bit of research and prepare the materials. The week after, I have newbie training and I only have 1 trainee for that batch. Interviews today tomorrow and monday and so far the returns has been minimal!

Bran bars/ muffin.. modified them a bit.. I actually lost the recipe a few years back amidst all the house transfers we've had! When i discovered it was lost, I emailed the Pillsbury dough boy for it and he replied! It tastes the same but i think it wasn't the same recipe!No bake oreo cheesecake.. which turned out to be like ice cream! i had to place it in the freezer cause it was falling apart..

So the farthest destination i hit this weekend was Las Pinas! I decided to sleepover Rissa's house and hang out with her! Here are 23 moments:(side note: 23 is such a peculiar number for this list)1. had home service foot spa while watching Disney channel! :) I've been trying to grow my finger nails so i had manicure too! they're now painted plum! :) I wish they'd grow faster!

I was able to file my leave for the long weekend to go to Vigan! BUT unfortunately, we're canceling due to the heavy rains hitting the northern part of the country! I'm now searching for back up plans to do over the weekend and not waste my leave! I'm not sure how feasible it is since it is raining everywhere! I'm starting to think that I'm jinxed. The last time I filled for my leave to go

Since it was Quezon City day last Tuesday, my brothers didn't have any school! I asked mom to bring them TPC to be my "models" for a shoot which we needed for a new product! :) They've been TPC models ever since we started and were even in the first brochure! Considering how rowdy boys can get, and believe me i've had my fair share of shooting a group of kids, they were very easy to shoot! I

I miss selling in rockwell! it is only now that i'm starting to realize how "hard" it is to sell here in podium. I had 2 shoots today and only sold 3 sheets! i believe that is an ultimate low in my selling career! we had a busy schedule today but low (no pun intended) and behold as i was computing our sales we've only made enough to catch up on rockwell sales from yesterday! really frustrating!

I've been working in the portrait business for more than 3 years now. I am now at work, waiting for my shift to start when i chanced upon a picture of our Production team in our Graphic Artist, Bem's desk. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but their expressions were mixture of boredom, sleepiness, nonchalance. Anything but happy. Intentional or not, it is only now that I come to realize

Its sometimes frustrating that no matter how hard we try to remember things or capture a certain moment or incident, there are still memories that evade us. Last night, as I was about to go to sleep, my sister, Cat started to laugh while reading something on her computer. Apparently, it was a blog entry she wrote more than a year ago about the three of us (camie, cat and i). I will not delve into

I've been online since this morning, using my mom's macbook... willing anyone to message me for decent conversation... i haven't received any! it is monday after all and everyone else is still at work...speaking of work...I've been obsessed with our sales lately.

I think anyone who has met my family would instantly want to be part of ours. :) After spending a day with my family watching Cinderella and having dinner out in a chinese restaurant, something which we haven't done in year, I decided to write about it. In this blog entry of mine, i will try to enumerate why...Reason # 1: Beauty in NumbersYou mess with Juan you mess with all the Juans. :) As of

I don't really mind cause our new house rocks!Yesterday i came home welcomed by some family friends. Stayed up late talking about spirits and elementals that surround us. Tita Kate a very old (not age old but duration old) and good friend of my dad could see elements and is sensitive to unseen beings. She says our house has good energy and unfortunately, our neighbor (where Piolo Pascual used to

Monday: I text dad that I'll be going to Embassy on Wednesday and told him that I'll be staying there til dawn since he didn't want me driving at night... He texts back with this drama/sarcastic message about how I'll be partying and they'll be left at home fixing the house.. Which kinda doesn't make sense cause we don't fix the house at night and that's when i'll be going to Embassy!Anyway, I

I was planning to set a record and be able to write everyday, but my new duties at work got in the way. Since kris, our marketing manager, took a vacation, i was suddenly given additional responsibilities. I have a manager in training in my store but of course i still have to oversee things. I'm also the point person for another special project. Then i sometimes have to do Facilities Manager

I love our new house! its super not yet done but we've finally moved in! although climbing the stairs can really suck when we were carrying our stuff in it was all worth it! I've never enjoyed transfering houses until this time.. :) we kept laughing and joking and dancing around too bad i was only able to "help out" yesterday because of work last week..we don't have cabinets yet, some walls

Starting from Dasma-Merville-Pasig-Alabang-Valle Verde-Loyola Heights.. so you could just imagine how exciting this is to move permanently! At least until I get married.. :pAnyway, I came home and was surprised to see this...the beds

Came to work early today thinking I had assist a preggy shoot at 10, even before the mall opens.. apparently it was at 11! Misinformed once again, I found out that i was suppose to take a couple of shots too! I wasn't in my shooting mode and was unprepared so I wasn't to psyched to take it.. I probably could have taken nicer shots..Then I met with my aunt e for some career advice.. I'm now
