I just want to let it all out.
I’m already tired. I want to quit already. I am tired of thinking where will I get the 3000 sales volume that I need to achieve so I can successfully finish this month. I just want to come home early everyday, watch some telenovelas and sleep early.
But I can’t. I just can’t quit. This is the fulfillment of my dreams. This is the key to financial freedom.
I need to be patient; to get out of my comfort zone; to do my best!
Universe help me please. Make me stronger.

countdown to freedom
my contract with bpi expires on december 21, 2009.
yes, i’m planning to resign if i don’t get transferred to batangas before my contract ends. some might say “sayang” if i resign but people close to me know how difficult my situation is.
i have a one year old daughter whom i leave to my mom’s care on weekdays because i have to go to manila to work. meaning we only get to see each other on weekends. my husband’s an ofw so we only get together when he’s on vacation. hiwa-hiwalay ang aking munting pamilya. imagine how sad and painful it is.
i have tried every means possible to be transferred in my province. i already talked to the vp who’s handling batangas area. i e-mailed all the officers in the area to ask if they want to swap with me. i contacted other units in batangas for vacancy. but maybe God has other plans for me. maybe, i should really resign and focus on my family.
five months to go. konting panahon na lang.

quality time
melvin and i are not the type of couple who date. but yesterday:
me (through text): date tU sa sm
he did not answer. instead he went to the house. upon entering the door:
him: tara!
me: ligo lang ako
and so, we dated. we watched the last full show of transformers (super late na nanood, hehe).
natuwa lang ako, kasi he’s not the type who enjoys watching movie in theaters. but he enjoyed the movie. and i enjoyed watching transformers with him.
sad lang, he’s going back to singapore on wednesday. hay… mamimiss ko na naman si melvin.

my little girl is one year old!
she's one!
dear kaila, i’m so happy you’re already one year old. mommy is very proud of you. at one year old, you can already walk and make sounds. i’m always happy when i see you, when i hear you say mama (and mommy when you’re angry) and daddy (deeeee). i’m so proud that you are recognizing your toys–piglet (titit), barney (ba), ball (boo), tiger (ti), pooh (pooo), tweety (teeteee), and balloon (ba).
i wish that you stay healthy and you grow up to be a smart, beautiful and good girl. mommy and daddy love you very much.

lipat bahay
after two years of stay, we’re moving out of the condo next week and transferring to a new apartment.
i’m both excited and apprehensive about it. who wouldn’t? for the first time in eight years of staying in the metro, i’d be totally on my own, without anybody to share the room (and rent) with. yes, each of us will be renting our own studio type units.
the apartment, 19 square metres and unfurnished, is 15-20 minutes away from the branch depending on the traffic. such a big adjustment since previously, i’m just an elevator away from my branch. it’s a new building and the rent is pretty decent, being located near the green archers’ school.
since it’s unfurnished, i’ll be starting from scratch. not totally, thank God i brought an orocan (for my clothes) three years ago. i also have trash can and shoe rack. and just this afternoon, i retrieved from my mother-in-law’s house some gifts given to us when melvin and i got married last year (we’ll be turning 1 on the 26th, how time flies!), including a flat iron, an electric fan, a rice cooker, set of spoon/fork/knife and glasses. those are all i have, the rest, i still have to buy. talking about the disadvantages of living in a furnished unit.
so my list of what i need to buy within the next few months is endless. there goes my target savings for the year.
given a choice, i wouldn’t leave the condo. but then again, life is hard these days. i must get out of my comfort zone because it’s the only choice that i have.

Welcome 2009
the post is a bit late. delayed reaction.
this year, i made goals–achievable ones. not resolutions. i did not meet all my financial goals for 2008 so the list remains the same. to quote:
- pay debts/loans/credit card (SIP) (konti na lang, bayad na silang lahat. slowly but surely! yey!); since we purchased a lot last year, may debt pa rin kay kuya miller. at matatapos pa sa april ang SIP ko. after that, di na muna ko mag-SIP.
- open savings account for parents
- go out of town. (bohol/palawan/singapore/anywhere basta out of town). this year’s target: hongkong
- purchase insurance for melvin.
- change my payment mode from semi-monthly to annual (para makatipid)
- save 20% of our salary
- buy an educational plan for baby (will wait until P company is settled.)
- start business with friends (first quarter next year)
- change career – pinag-iisipan. 200K din yon. ilang gatas at diapers din un. i will wait for my contract to expire before i think about changing careers.
for my personal goals, i plan to
- lose weight. back to 46 lbs, 25 inches waistline. thus i should eat healthy, drink less softdrinks and les coffee.
- communicate with my husband more.
sana matupad.

update
it’s been a while since i posted here. been busy with my baby, with work, with hubby (who’s back in singapore). wala na talaga akong oras para magmuni-muni at magsulat, plus the fact that i don’t have internet connectin in manila. tapos pag weekend e occupied na ko kay baby. so many excuses. ang totoo, tinatamad lang akong mag-post. haha.
anyway. thanks to all those who greeted me last Christmas.i read your messages but was unable to reply, mahal an reply pag roaming. fyi, i was in singapore for Christmas. back here in the Philippines after four days. four days sa asawa ko, the rest of the holidays will be spent with my daughter. ang hirap ng hiwahiwalay. sana next year, sama-sama na kaming tatlo. good luck. di pa rin pwede, di pa tapos contract ko. ang tagal tagal tagal tagal tagal matapos ng kontrata ko…
looking back, 2008 was a good year. i got married. we had a baby. i got a salary increase. i was able to go to singapore. we bought a lot, though not yet fully paid. i didn’t meet my target savings for the year, pero masaya ako kasi marami akong napasayang tao (at aging masaya ako) sa mga ginastos namin ni melvin. haha. hopefully, we’ll be able to save more next year. my dad’s jobless kasi nagresign na sya after working for almost 18 years in dubai. busy sila ngayon sa pagnenegosyo (tinapay, paputok, leche flan). wala pa rin kaming bahay. three years ang binigay kong panahon kay melvin para makapagpatayo siya ng bahay namin. meron pa syang two years and 1 month. 
sana more blessings for next year. healthier, happier and wealthier 2009. happy new year to all!
