Postpaid Plan

Globe was one the Suth vendors last week. I grabbed one of their offers thinking that I can manage paying monthly bills anyway. I immediately sold the free fone which was Nokia 2630 because I'm planning to buy a different phone. Besides, my phone right now (Nokia 6020) is still perfectly working as it had served me for three years now.

Well, the wait was a week long. I even needed to follow-up the application with my bestfriend Jason who works with Globe. I picked the last 4 digits of my cell number and he chose the rest for me.

Today, my new and hottest number is fully activated! I just need to control myself from calling and texting so I won't throw money more than my chosen plan.:)

Savings Account

I went with my mom to open a new savings account. I was wearing a white shirt, a checkered shorts and a pair of slippers while she was wearing a faded slacks and a loose blouse.

When we arrived inside the bank, we both sat on the available chairs in front of the man who's in his 40's, I guess.

Bank Employee: Ano po yon? (nagtanong habang nakatingin sa iba)
Mommy ko: Mag-oopen ng account.
Bank Employee: May 2 valid IDs po ba kayo? (may iba pa ring ginagawa)
Mommy ko: Nak, ids mo? Dala mo ba?
yUmi: (took my La Salle ID and PRC ID from my bag) Here.
Bank Employee: Enrolled ka pa rin ba dito? (looking at my La Salle ID)
yUmi: Yes.
Bank Employee: Dala mo ba yung proof of payment?
yUmi: No.
Bank Employee: Dala mo ba yung recent PRC ID mo? (looking at my PRC ID)
yUmi: Why? Is it expired?
Bank Employee: Yes, hanggang Jan 2007 lang ito, eh.
Mommy Ko: Hala, anak, di mo pala nadala yung PRC mo?
yUmi: Yung expired pala yung nakuha ko kanina. Anyway, here's my company ID.
Mommy Ko: Nak, dala ko din yung Voter's ID mo.
Bank Employee: Eto po, paki fill-up-an. Pwede ko tanggalin to? I-pho-photo-copy kasi.
yUmi: Okay.

(After ma-fill up ang sheet, sinoli ng Bank Employee ang Company ID kay yUmi na already removed from it's ring. So yUmi tried to put it back into its proper place. Yet, it was so hard so yUmi asked the Bank Employee to do it for her.)

yUmi: Pwede, paki-balik?
(She knows na mahihirapan siya ibalik yon, kasi nga 2 yung holes na dapat pagkalagyan nung ring.)
Bank Employee: ummmmmm...
(trying to sort it out, pero halatang nahihirapan, naibalik naman sa hole, kaso nasira yung ring. Sabay balik kay yUmi ng ID).
yUmi: Thanks! (ngingiti-ngiti habang naka-crossed legs.)
Bank Employee: Ano po ba ang i-oopen ninyo na account? Yung ATM account, Php2,000 lang po and yung passbook account, Php5000 po.
Mommy Ko: Passbook account.
Bank Employee: Mas mura po yung ATM... (di pa tapos magsalita)
yUmi: Passbook Account!
Bank Employee: Ok. Mag-sa-save ka talaga ng pera ah. Magkano po ba ang ipapasok ninyong amount?
Mommy Ko: _________ thousand.
Bank Employee: Ano po?
yUmi: _________ thousand.
Bank Employee: (nabigla sa narining nya. biglang bumilis ang kilos at super naging friendly ang dating.) Wow, malaking amount pala. Sige po bilangin natin...

(Pagkatapos bilangin ang pera at pirmahan ang mga dapat pirmahan, naging over-Proactive ang Bank Employee)

Bank Employee: (nakatingin kay yUmi) May credit card ka na?
yUmi: (umiling lang)
Bank Employee: Gusto mo mag-apply?
yUmi: Ok.
Bank Employee: Please fill this up.
yUmi: Alright. (nagsusulat)
Bank Employee: Ah, Ma'am dito rin po ba ang bank ninyo.
Mommy Ko: Oo, dito din ang bank ko. Oo nga pala, pano ba 'tong rewards, blah, blah.

(Mega-active sumagot ng Bank Employee, biglang nagka-energy. Nang matapos ang finifill up ni yUmi.)

Bank Employee: Here's my call card, paki-fax na lang yung ITR and 1-month payslip, paki-attention sa 'kin.
yUmi: Okay.
Bank Employee: (gulat na gulat pa rin sa pangyayari) talagang magssave ng pera ang anak nyo no?
Mommy Ko: Oo, pera nya lang yon.:p
yUmi: Aryt, we have to go.
Bank Employee: Thank you Ma'am. (sobrang polite and warm this time)

MORAL OF THE STORY: Don't ever judge the way people dress, you'll never know how much money they're putting in the bank!

hahaha!:p

*************

Well, seriously speaking, I feel satisfied with what I had achieved. I was able to save that big amount when others have saved nothing at all. I'm glad that my parents thought me well to manage money. Thanks to this industry I am in. And most of all, I thank God for giving me all these blessings and good health and prosperity that continues to overflow.

"In My Life" by: The Beatles

There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
Of lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I loved them all

And with all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I loved you more

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I loved you more

In my life I loved you more

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

...and to all the other mothers out there, Enjoy your special mom's day!:)

Bye-Bye, Lhen

How do you say goodbye to a friend who have been so close to you? How would you feel as she take step and full responsibility of her unconfirmed decisions in life? Would you push her or would you stop her?

A friend of mine is leaving her family, friends and career to be finally with the arms of the person she longs to be with. I know it's what she wants and it's what she is getting right now. I bid my goodbye in a faceless but full of emotion way.

I have nothing but the best prayers for my friend.

























Lhen, our friendship doesn't end here.
Someday, we'll meet again...
Take care and take a stand.
My prayers are with you!:)

Grade in Practicum

I went to La Salle today to pay my tuition and get my grades. It surprised me that all my sacrifices in the previous Practicum Experience are worth the pain.



I thank God for giving me the opportunity to experience it. I learned a lot and I gained manyjavascript:void(0) friends.

To God be the Glory!:)

Pregnancy

I'm so excited, I can't wait to see the babies of our dog Aye.



I didn't expect she'll be pregnant at all having her locked in our home. My mom is vocal that she doesn't want Aye to be pregnant, but what can she do... it's all there! The babies will be born in few time. I'll hamper all her plans to abort Aye's babies. Hahaha! I know, I know, parang tao lang noh?!

Well, I'll give her more food than ever and I'll caress Aye more often now, so that she'll feel that she and her babies are loved by us. Time to spoil my lovey-dogey!

My Hone also told me that their dog Jopay (whom I call "SaSha") is also pregnant. Hahaha! Lotsa preggy dogs out here!

Oh well, just reminiscing look at this picture... Barney with Baby Aye:



... and now, our baby will become a mommy. Congrats, Aye!

Breaking Dawn



Now, I'm done reading the last page of Stephenie Meyer's saga, Bella Swan stating that they "continued blisffully in their small but perfect piece of forever."
