…and I also got a thank you card and a box of chocolates.
These all came from one of the groups I take care of in training and today was their last day. They mispelled my name on the card but i think it’s because of the accent hehehe. They asked me to come up and join them for lunch and when I entered the room, they immediately surprised me with their gifts of appreciation. I could only sincerely thank them for being so thoughtful.

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
None, because all the bills we pay are essential to our lives.
2. Where’s the best place to eat for a romantic dinner?
I’m really bad at choosing restaurants. I’m not really fussy with food coz I eat anything. And I’m not fussy with romance either coz I don’t go for romantic, I go for intellectually stimulating conversations and surprises. We could be eating fishballs at some park for all I care. But if you really want to make me happy, just treat me to an eat-all-you can dinner then take me coffee afterwards. The best eat-all-you I’ve been to was at Circles, Shangri-la Makati.
3.Last time you puked from drinking?
My guess would be on my 23rd birthday party at home. Lots of guests and booze.
4.Have you ever gotten drunk in a bar?
Like really drunk? No, never. Tipsy yes, but never drunk.
5.Name your first grade teacher.
For some reason I can remember my kindergarten teacher’s name but not my 1st grade teacher’s.
6. What are doing right now?
Just finished having lunch and taking a break from work.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I wanted to be a teacher! When I was a kid I have this mini blackboard at home and my mom would always buy me chalk. And I would study my lessons by illustrating it on the blackboard as if I was a teacher. And now I’m a trainer 🙂 Dreams do come true after all.
8. How many colleges did you attended?
Just one.
9. Why did you get the shirt you’re wearing right now?
Because its fenk!!! hehehe.
10. If you could go anywhere and take someone with you, where would you go?
I’ll take my husband for a sunrise date at Angkor Wat, Cambodia and then we’ll have a picnic for breakfast.
11.First thought when you woke up this morning.
Natuloy kaya ang interview ni Chris kahapon?
12. Last thought before going to sleep last night.
Same as #11. He hasn’t emailed or called so I don’t know what happened with the interview (if ever it did push thru).
13. Favorite Style of underwear?
bikini or hipster will do.
14. What errand or chore do you despise?
Ironing and washing dishes.
15. Breakfast this morning?
Cereal.
16. When did you start feeling old?
I felt physically old this year! Yes, at 30 I realized I’m not that young anymore in terms of body structure, skin elasticity and metabolism.
Psychologically, age is just a number–I will always be young at heart, mind and soul.
17. What do you get everytime you go to Costco?
Walang Costco dito! But I heard news that we might have one soon.
18. Beach or Lake?
Beach
19. Favorite guilty pleasure.
Too much of potato chips or fries. Anything that has anything to do with potato, i get weak!
20. Do you always wear sunnies and what brand do you have?
I wear sunnies but not all the time. I’m not particular with brands, kahit ano lang pwede na. Minsan napulot ko lang sa bahay, sige suot naman ako hehehe.
My turn to tag. I tag my new online buddies: racks. lei. eve. frances.
Chris and I are sooooo happy today! Finally, the immigration has called and he is set to have his phone interview tomorrow. Okay diba? Phone interview (na lang, no need na daw for appearance). TOMORROW. 
And another good news: the Case Officer has asked him to have his medical check-up, so on Wednesday, he’s going to one of the affiliated clinics of Aussie Immigration in Dubai.
Thank God!!!! We’re finally seeing a little bit of light in our dark tunnel. I’m so happy since I got the news I’ve been jumping inside my room.
I officially started Christmas shopping today and the first two special people I bought gifts to was for my Daddy and Mommy. I’m very satisfied with the gifts I got them. Will show photos as soon as they got them. It’s gonna be an early present to them as my cuzins will be handing them over on the day they arrive in Manila (Nov 14). I’m so excited!!! I know they’re gonna like it. 🙂
I also got Christmas cards for my Mother-in-law and Brother-in-law. Will just enclose cash so they can buy what they want. Nahihiya rin naman din kasi ako sa mga pinsan ko na magpadala ng madami, baka mapabigat ang dala nila.
At least, for our immediate family in the Phils, we have gifts for them already.
Other than shopping for Christmas presents, I finally had the chance to drop by Officeworks today and got myself a 320 GB External Hardrive. I’ve back-up all our files in DVDs but I still can’t erase it on my PC and laptop so to give me peace of mind, I just got an external hardrive. Which is also in preparation for more captured photographs and videos.
Oh and I got myself a 1 GB Sony USB too, for only $22.++. Good deal!!! 🙂
My last buy for the day was a hairdryer and hair straightener. It comes as a package deal and it’s on sale so I bought it. May hairdryer na, may hair straightener pa. I know technically I don’t need a hair straightener but sometimes when going to special events, I do need it. The hairdryer on the other hand is in preparation for my moving out of this place I’m staying at later when Chris is here in Sydney. For two years, nabuhay ako na nanghihiram lang ng hairdryer sa pinsan ko. Bigla kong na-realize na dapat meron na rin pala akong sariling hairdryer dahil lilipat ako ng bahay.
What about you? Have you started you Christmas shopping already? Have you bought something for yourself too?
