Tuesday Toot – 03/11/08

Posted on March 11, 2008 by admin

My toot for this week is about my daughter’s accomplishments for the past week. It’s been quite awhile now that our TV has gone to the nook and only the dust is having a good time with it. It was hard at first for those who are at home and who were addicted to the tube, but after awhile we got adjusted. For my daughter, she garnered the 2nd highest in the whole class during the achievement test the other week. She got 90! Thank God or else she will not be one of the gold medalists.

And just this week-end, she joined her first formal recital although she was not formally enrolled to study the piano. She played her solo pieces well but did not play with her friend during the 4 hands part because both of them think they can’t fully memorize the piece. Even then, I was happy she made it. I took quite a number of photos and i thought of making a scrapalbum of it.

Happy Tuesday!

What a blessed week I had inspite of the death of a relative that we buried last Sunday morning and a pending death of my mother’s brother whom we saw after the burial. I can still say though that death is blessing. And everyone should think it that way or else pain and suffering will never end.

I am so excited to share to all of you two things i am so proud of the past days.

# 1 –

I am able to acquire an Olympus Stylus digicamera at 4 mpeg. It’s an old one of my cousins and since they purchased a new one at higher megapixels, I got so lucky to receive the “passed-down” Love to both of them.

See my first shot:

# 2

This is very exciting. Been faithfully waiting for this for 3 months and now I have it! Dancing in Midlife Tune got a Google Rank Now! I have known about this the other day but was too busy and last night our electric power is out due to blasted fuse. So now, am so happy to toot about it: My 4/10 Google Rank! Isn’t that great! The button will be up in awhile.

My SEOmoz page strength also increase .5.

# 3

And my Life is what we make It blog still maintained it’s 5/10 page rank. A blog that I thought would forever be gone from me. There was an admin problem with it the other week and am glad to have it back last week.

Happy TT to all of you out there! More TT participants here.

I feel i had a long week last week until the week-end. Even my face got long and i have long sad thoughts because of my wordpress blog problem. But today, I feel the hours are getting shorter. Why?

1. My wordpress blog is back. WordPress support realized that indeed my blog was hacked because they found a mysterious email in there. 2 emails for 1 blog. It can’t be so since they think “sth odd is going on” they gave me a new set of PW and UN. Now, I got in and indeed there’s an email their in the user’s profile that i can’t delete. I really pray that i can have this blog back and it was answered today.

am happy.

2. I was away for the week-end. I spent the week-end at Lucille’s home (a highschool classmate). The last time I was there was in 2005 and I was so happy to see changes of improvement. Her kids are big now and they are nice to talk too unlike long time ago she spent most of her time tending her kids coz they cry by and by but now, i had fun talking with her kids.

I also spent some time going around her relatives home to say hi and hello. They haven’t seen me and vice versa for several years and they are so happy to see me especially the changes in me. (am so big! they said) hahahaha! I spent also a great Sabbath morning in church and fortunately, met also a long time friend who I met the last time in 2004 in Manila.

3. Turned down a life partnership proposal. Met an old friend (a good one) who suddenly proposed to me out of the blue but i was able to tactfully turned him down letting him understand that a husband or a live-in partner is now the solution of my complicated life. I even didn’t give him any false hopes. I was very frank in a very tactful way. He commented to my friend – my answers or the way I explained my side was too mature for his level. hahahaha

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

I can say what a week for me! I feel that the following are what I did that I sort of proud of at of this moment.

1. Was the cook for the whole week-end. I do cook before but this time was, I cooked but I am not tempted to eat much of what I cooked. I am trying to build up strong self-control. hehehe

2. As of today, I am glad to be able to pay up the 3 important bills of this month: apartment rent, telephone bill, and a bit of dimple’s balance in school. Am so happy because for the previous months it was really crazy. Am so stressed up before and after 15 of each month. But now, it’s better and am happy.

3. The last but not the least, it happened just awhile back — I was able to walk on the treadmill for the whole 30 minutes! no stop! I guess I deserve a clap clap. hahahaha. Really! 20 minutes on 35 mph speed and 10 minutes on the 45 mph speed. And guess what? I didn’t stop panting. My heart even didn’t pain. hehehehe. OHhhh I just hope I am gonna stick to this!

Happy Too Tuesday, too all moms.

I am thinking I got no achievement this week but as I think it over and over again, I guess I can share one and that is adjusting with my new bosses. I started at the new workplace last Thursday and as of yesterday I can say I can well managed. The VP-AD’s penmanship is readable (except 1 or 2) and I really don’t mind at all if he wants to edit and edit whatever he asks me to do as long as he finds it perfect to his standard.

I heard today that my new boss told the former secretary who is also my friend that “i easily catched up” with the work.

This week’s accomplishment is just so simple to most of you, too but to me it means much:

1. I have changed my theme in both blogs to join the “Red” season. But 1 blogger friend comment that my wordpress blog’s theme does not suit my personality. It looks so strong. I agree with him. Changing themes in wordpress blogs is so easy as eating peanuts but not with blogger blogs. But i took the pains of one by one saving the links in my sidebars and presto! after 3 hours, i’ve done the make-over plus the important sidebar thangs.

2. Am still on gym (thanks God) and still very good thus far in cutting down my rice intake.

3. As a parent, am successfulin putting away the TV without feeling guilty for the other people in the house. I did it for the good of my daughter. Although many can say am too hard on my daughter but if others can just see how it affect my daughter in a negative way, maybe they would say the other thing.

4. Last but not the least – i wil be on the move. There is no promition nor demotion in this organization am working in. But if they can see they can maximize your potentials in any department, then they give you that chance. From a 1-boss job am gonna be moved to a 2-bosses office effective Thursday. I have mixed feelings >> sad and happy at the same time. Sad to leave the familiar faces and work but happy to meet the challenge of being under 2 bosses and to get familiar with a new environment.

These are all for now……..until next toot!

I thank Marie for hosting this new weekly Meme. I hope more will join this meme. Oohhh i am sure am gonna love this meme.

My accomplishment this week is not really big but it means a lot to me and that is joining gym for a weightloss program.

I 10000% sure know that I should have done this thing last year yet before my weight has gone up to an unimaginable # compared to the 100 pounds I was 10 years ago. I have so many reasons why I didn’t care much about exercise and the couple reasons are: lazyness and lack the drive to do it. I always complain to exercise is boring when I do it alone — but now, I realized that no matter how boring, I should do it or else am gonna die early and if that happens (dying young now) I will surely leave a big hole of insecurity in the life of my daughter for having no dad since birth and no mom at the age of ten.

This accomplishment now is not yet BIG for me but for those who have seen me ballooned, they are happy and clapping their hands that I am into it and that they are wishing me all the best. They hope this will uplift my depressed personality so that I can go back to my desired weight.
