WOW. My last post was already June! it is five months that I did not blog. That is really sad. I wanted to blog everyday but I get busy always and I already forget my password here! It is only a good thing that I write it on my notebook with phone numbers of my family and friends. I just saw it now that's why I got time to blog again. hehe

I miss this! blogging and visiting my friendships here in blog world. How are all of you friendships?

I went to the province for 2 weeks last 1st ad 2nd week of Novemnber. Ate and Kuya allow me to celebrate Araw ng mga Patay with my family. my brothers and sisters are already big! 2 of them is already bigger than me. At first i am having a 2 times thinking if I will go home because money is a big issue for me, but Ate tell me that she will allow me to go home and give me bus fare as long I am not going to go home on Christmas because it will be a very schedule for them. I instanly agree and readily buys some things for pasalubong.

I carry one sacks full of old clothes from the family which my relatives and family love picking something for them. Ate and Kuya is so kind that they bring me to Cubao station because I have so many bags to carry.

When in province. I super enjoy there. I so much miss my family there and friends. They tell me that i become fat and white already. and that I look happy. Everybody is asking if my amos are kind. I always tell them that they are and they even allow me to use their computer.

When I get back here I buy them native slippers and some nuts and pasalubongs. Just a little things that they can have. It is my way of saying thank you to my amos. I hope to blog more soon... I am just resting and decided to try blogging again. Next time I will visit your blogs! thank you if you still visit this.

I hope you all have a Happy and Peaceful Holy Week.

Last Saturday of March and Anything

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 15:20:00 +0000

Yes today is March 26, 2011 and it is also the last Saturday of March, time is really fast. 3 months of the year 2011 is now coming to an end. On our everyday life and a lot of things that occupying our daily routines, we will all just be surprise to see that it will be another year over. 2012 is fast coming.

While we still have a few more days before Christmas again, I hope that everybody including me will spend everyday happy and fruitful. With amos like mine, I can say that I work with them happy always. They treat me as family and I also treat them like that and give them the treatment and work that they deserve.

I miss my family in the province. One of my brother is planning to visit me here in Manila and Ate and Kuya allow him to stay at there house while here in Manila, he will just visit me here because I can not go back to them yet. I will be giving him all the things that I save for them. I will give him pamasahe to go here and back, Ate also tell me to make him pasyal in Manila so when he goes back home, he will have many stories to tell in the province. I am excited and happy to see him soon.

And by the way, we participate in Earth Hour a while ago, all the lights in the house is turn off for one hour, to help Mother Earth. Did you participate also?

I am already sleepy. Maybe until here, I will try to blog again and especially I will tell you stories on when will my brother be here. Goodnight Friendships!

Earthquakes and Tsunamis

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:58:00 +0000

I almost forgot to blog about the tragedy that happen to Japan. It really made me sad and afraid. When we are watching it on TV, we are all sad and scary because of the Tsunami. At first it was the earthquake that shake the whole Japan, an intensity of 8.9! Videos of shaking building and people inside hiding under the tables are very saddening and scary. After that strong earthquake a big Tsunami followed and sink everything it passes through, It is really scary to see cars, houses and building being sink and carried by a very large water. It look like a big splash of water covering all the affected area in Japan! While watching it on TV, I keep praying that it will end already and that it will not happen here in the Philippines.

I also saw a fire in Japan during the Tsunami, what a really sad happenings. After that Philippine government announces that we also have a Tsunami Alert2. I was so afraid and I keep praying that our country will be safe from this event. I know Japan is a very big and rich country. Whatever happen to them I know they can recover and make they country look good again. If that happen to the Philippines, we will be having a hard time re building our nation. I just remember the Ondoy, it is sad but atleast it is not like in Japan because I do not know what will happen to us.

I hope this will end and everybody will be safe.

Goodnight friendships

Blog Hopping and Blog Walking

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:33:00 +0000

Hello friendships. I just finish visiting some of the blogs in my blogroll. I really enjoy reading and making comments on your blogs. Some of the blogs i have read that some people do blog walking. I am used to go blog hopping because that is what the Eldest teach me. Now I just want to ask you if there is any difference between Blog Hopping and Blog Walking? or is it just a term with the same meaning? Whatever is the similarity or difference of the two words i will just continue to visit your blogs because that make me happy.

Enjoy your weekend every all! Happy Blogging!

First Sunday of March 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 08:42:00 +0000

It is already March 6! How time comes so fast. It's Sunday and it is my day off today. I just went to church early this morning and just stroll around the mall and then I decided to go home. As i am typing in this blog, it is raining here in Quezon City. I wanted to go to ukay ukay to search for some clothes that i can wear and some that i can give my family in the province. But since it is raining i postpone the idea of going to ukay ukay. I choose to sit in front of the computer and blog. Now i am blogging whatever coming out from my head. Typing and blogging really make me happy and relax. I hope i can continue in doing this.

With regard to my ukay ukay trip, maybe i will just re schedule it next week and i will try to invite my friend so it will be more happy to shop for clothes with someone you know and someone you can talk to.

Anyways, How did February treat you? as for me, Feb is so good to me. I am still continue recieving blessings and i am really lucky to have a very kind and a very understandng amos. I reaaly do not mind growing old with them. That is if they also like me. As long as i can visit and provide for my family I will be happy serving them even if i will be old. I also hope that they will also continue to receive blessings for they are really kind not only to me but also to others.

I will visit your blog friendships after I cook rice. Today is a relax and easy easy day for me.

Home Alone

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 13:42:00 +0000

I am home alone a while ago. My amos went out of town. Ate and Kuya will be absent for work tomorrow while the 2 boys have no classes because of 25 year celebration of EDSA Revolution. I believe that they will be attending a family reunion in Kuya's side somewhere in Bataan. I already eaten dinner with another house help. We already clean our mess and the whole house is really clean. No more kalat.

I decided to blog again before I sleep. I really love blogging and making story about what happen to me. I remember writing story about my daily life in my super old notebook when i was little and still studying.

I am really happy and thankful to Eldest for teaching me how to blog. It really makes me happy.

Earthquakes

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:48:00 +0000

If you are in New Zealand, did you feel it? If you are in the Philippines, did you feel it? I watch in the news that there is earthquakes in New Zealand and here in the Philippines, they both experience the earthquake earlier. I myself did not feel it here in my location in Quezon City.

I am so sad for the people of New Zealand for they have experience a very strong earthquake that destroy some buildings and trap many people there. They are now trying to rescue people that are trap in the buildings. Many people get hurt and also some die. They are still rescuing until now. I hope that they can recover as soon as posible.

Here in the Philippines. I did not feel even a weak earthquake, maybe because I am busy doing household chores. But i am happy that no one get hurt and die like in New Zealand.

To everyone, Please be safe and God Bless.

Cook with Chimmie

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 07:09:00 +0000

Flowers and Chocolates and Gifts

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:55:00 +0000

Last Valentines my Ate receive boxes of chocolates and a very big flower arrangement from Kuya. Eldest and Youngest also give her gifts. I also receive chocolate from Ate, Kuya and there sons. All of us in the house receive chocolates from our amos. They are so kind to us. I want to give my chocolate to my family in the province but i think that is impossible because they are so far, so i will just eat it all little by little, the truth is i just eat a small part of my chocolate before blog.

I am just thinking why is it that it is sweet when a girl receive flowers and chocolate in Valentines? I think we can also get flowers and chocolate even if it is not Heart Day. But i think it is really sweeter when it it given during February 14. I wonder why. Do you know why?

How is your valentine? here in the big house we are all happy.

Happy Valentines

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 16:26:00 +0000

Yes, it is Valentines. Happy Valentines to all couples and singles including me out there. I really do not understand why there is always a valentines day where couples, married or girlfriend and boyfriend have a day to celebrate there love for each other. And then there is no Happy Single Day where hopeless romantic singles can celebrate with other singles out there.

Valentines makes single people sometimes sad because they can feel the loneliness of being loveless. Someday there will also be a Single Days.

But whatever we celebrate just always remember to be happy. Happy Valentines everyone!

February 1

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:32:00 +0000

Oh January is already finish and it is now February or Heart month. I feel that January was in rush because it just come very quick. I still feel that New Year is just yesterday but now It is already ended. February 1 is now here and it will end soon and i bet that it will also come quick because it is just until 28th day.

Just enjoy each day. and Advance Happy Valentines.

Another Bad News

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:46:00 +0000

I watch in the news that there is another bad news in the Philippines. In Navotas a big big fire happen that it kill 12 people. A very sad news for everybody. When I imagine that those people not only lost there family but also a house that they can live with. I remember the old saying that "mas mabuti pang nanakawan kaysa sa nasunugan" because when some akyat bahay get your precious things it is still a good news that you are still alive and still have house you can stay to. While when your house get fire it is a very a bad news that your house will also be gone and what more if you lost your family in that fire. Condolences for the family who lost there love ones.

Another bad news for the commuters because minimum fare in jeeps will now increase in 8pesos. I do not want to increase the fare because one pesos is already a big money for me. one peso will always be one peso and 100pesos will not be complete without it.

I hope that the next days I can have to watch good news.

Bus Bombing in EDSA and other bad news

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:03:00 +0000

The news in the past days are so bad. It start in the car napping problem in Metro Manila. Where many of the business owner of a buy and sell car are being kill and there car is being car nap. That is why Ate and Kuya is now very careful whenever they are driving because they are afraid that they may get hurt. I hope that all the car napper will be trouble by there consience. That they can not sleep all day and night. That they have nightmares.

Even if the car napping problem is not yet finish. Another big problem came. A bus bombing in Metro Manila again and I watch in the news that 5 are dead in that accident. I am very sad because people that die there do not have sin in whoever do that. A lot of family have lost love ones. Many people now are afraid to ride bus because they are afraid that it will happen again. Whatever the motibo of that bad people. i hope they suffer because they kill innocents life.

I hope that the next news that i will hear or watch will be a good news already. Good morning.

Ending of January 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:23:00 +0000

January is so fast. There are only a few days left and it is already ending and before we know it it is already February. I did not notice that days are very fast. Christmas and New Year are already over. Ate said that Chinese New Year is up next. They will be buying a lot of tikoy to celebrate Chineses New Year.

On the coming fiesta on the province. I want to come and visit my family. I already ask ATe and Kuya if they will allow me to go home even for just a short week. But I'm sure Ate will allow me. I already miss my family.

I remember February is also the month of hearts. It is not only for couples but i know that it is also for people that are happy in there life. I hope someday I can also meet a partner in my life. Someone who can be with me forever and ever.

Good night.

Belated Happy Three Kings

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:55:00 +0000

I just learn that Three Kings celebration is already finish last January 6, 2011. Belated Happy 3 Kings to all of Us! Anyway, why are we celebrating 3 Kings? enjoy friendships!

Simple and Respectful Uniforms

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 14:42:00 +0000

It is school days again. Busy time for preparing for the family's breakfast and for Youngest baon is now on. I remember when I was still studying elementary in the province. My mother is also always busy preparing my baon. It is only a simple bread or sometime rice with whatever we have in our house. I also experience having camote and corn as my baon. I do not complain because i love going to school. I also remember that when I am still a kid i wanted to become a doctor or a nurse when i grow up. I really want to wear scrubs as my uniform when i am already a doctor or a nurse.

My dream of becoming a doctor or a nurse did not come true. Not yet. Because my parents do not have enough money for my tuition together with my other brothers and sisters. I am trying to save money from being a house helper so that someday i can still study and finish schooling. I want to help my parents not to become poor anymore. I want to give them a good place to live even before God will get them from us because they are already old. That is why I am always amaze at scrubs for women whenever i see them at the hospitals, they all look respectable with there simple uniforms. Someday I will also wear women scrubs.

January 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:06:00 +0000

Happy New Year. Happy 2011 to all of us. It is already a new year. Let us forget and leave all the negatives in our live. Let us welcome the positive and goodlucks that will enter 2011.

Christmas and New Year celebration is very fun and very very tiring. We start to prepare before Christmas and we did not stop until now. It is now not holiday and they already go to schools and office.

I send Christmas present to our province for my family in the province and we talk in the cellphone during Christmas and New Year. They like all the clothes that i buy and some that Ate and Kuya give me.

We have so many foods during Holiday. I will say only the foods that i remember because some i already forget and some i do not know he name. We have ham, keso de bola, small lechon, morcon, lumpia shanghai, lumpia sariwa, dinuguan, pasta and some more food that i do not remember and know. The big house was so many people visiting and asking for Christmas gift for Ate and Kuya.

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:04:00 +0000

Yes. It is only 15 days before Merry Christmas na! I am really excited and a little bit sad because I can not go home to our province. But i am still happy and excited. Ate and Kuya and the Kids will go to places with many lights and tiange. We will all come to see beautiful sparkling lights. I also want to buy from the tiange, anything that I can give to my friends and family. And i also want to buy something to give Ate, Kuya and the kids. They are like my family already and i want to give them something even if it is not expensive.

I am thinking of giving a notebook planner for Ate and Kuya. To the 2 boys, I do not know yet what to give them. If you have any ideas on what to give them. Please help me. Just give me ideas and i will see if i have the money to buy them. Please give me a very nice and not so expensive gift.

I wish I can also have that kind of shoes. But where will I wear it I am only in this big house all the time. Sometime when it is my day off I do not need to wear shoes with heels.

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 17:23:00 +0000

Ate and Kuya are slowly making the renovation for this big house. They plan to make it more beautiful before the year 2010 finish. They already starting to look for a good quality and heavy duty bathroom furnitures and materials for there upcoming new renovated bathrooms. One at a time they will start the renovation.

I remember when one time I come with Ate at the mall, she is already looking and hunting for a good and heavy duty furnitures that will last long. The furniture we are using now is already old about 12 years as Ate tell me. It is not yet broken but they really wanted to have a new furnitures.

Some of there old furniture they will give to there relatives and some will be buying by there friends. They wanted to have a garage sale so that they can get additional money for there big house renovation.

Rainy Afternoon

noreply@blogger.com (Chimmie) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 10:18:00 +0000

It is very rainy a while ago. And because of heavy rains a while ago I feel so sleepy and have no mood to work. Good thing that ate is not yet here or else she will get angry to me if she get me not working with my good mood.

I really feel sleepy a while ago. I hope it will never happen again. I want to do my work fast and very okay. Rains makes me sleepy maybe because it make me feel cold and make me want to sleep.

Next time when i fell sleepy and and not in the mood to work i will try to dance or sing or drink cold water to remove my sleepiness.

I just share my rainy afternoon with my blog friendship. hihi
