Bought myself my dream phone today!

the dream cellphone..

Yesterday my phone broke! Technically it’s not really my cellphone, it’s my brother – Vinboy’s cellphone but I’m the one whose using it because I need it more than him. I use it to communicate with everyone. And most importantly I use it for my work. My cellphone, the one I was using before I had to borrow Vinboy’s, was also broken because I wasn’t taking care of it. I mean I don’t use it properly. I charge it anytime I want even if the battery is not yet low or dead. And I leave it charging for more than 8 hours sometimes because I just leave it there while I sleep. So that’s some of the reasons why I was using my brother’s phone. And I’m really sorry I broke it. But I will try to have it fixed of course so he can still use it.

I’ve been using my old cellphone (before it broke)  for more than 2 years so I guess it’s about time that I buy myself a new one. I’ve been wanting a Nokia 6300 phone ever since I saw it online. FYI – it was the best selling cellphone in the UK  for more than a year after it was released. And it’s still one of the most well-loved phones of today. I really like slim phones so that’s why it caught my attention. And its specifications are also way up there! It’s stylish, classical and very high quality too. But I couldn’t afford it before because there were more important things than buying a new phone.

Yesterday I didn’t have a cellphone. I didn’t know what to do! I wasn’t even able to sleep. I kept thinking how I can communicate with Tim and my friends and everyone! And I couldn’t even access my Chikka account! I can’t register with other free text sites because I won’t be able to verify it without my cellphone number. Thankfully there’s the INTERNET! The joy of emailing and instant messaging. I wouldn’t have survived without it. I asked for help from my friends who were online. I asked JonhaR, Teddy and my other brother – Sev(who was in school and also thankfully online) to text Tim and inform him that I sent him an email and could he go online so we could IM as well. So around 4PM Tim finally got online. He was out traveling again so that’s what took him so long to IM me. I told him about what happened to my bro’s phone. And he suggested that I use his phone instead. To make the long story short, we asked Sev if he could pick up Tim’s cellphone after his class. Sev agreed and he arrived around 9PM with Tim’s cellphone. Then I was able to text! Tim has a spare phone  by the way, his old beat up Nokia (forgot what unit) which is still functioning.

And you know what the first message I received was? It was from Miss Lareza of Callbox’s Human Resources Department telling me that I can get my backpay the next day (which is today). I immediately thanked the Lord after reading that text! He really loves me. He doesn’t want me and my job to suffer. He has perfect timing. Or a great sense of humor. I think he wanted to test my patience and how I will handle the situation – a day without a cellphone (naks!). Just to clear things up – I’m not materialistic okay. I just need certain stuffs for my daily life.

So today, I bought myself my dream phone after getting my backpay from Callbox! I’m learning how to use it right now. And I’m loving every single part of it. It’s more than I expected. Again I thank the Lord for always making a way. And for all the blessings he has given me. I’m so blessed!

and it came with this cute red pouch too!

What a day!

I bought this 2 cool footwears yesterday and I’m so proud of them that I took photos so I could post them here on my blog. You won’t believe how cheap they cost! Wanna know? Just ask me! They’re so cute. I love yellow. I already have a yellow slip on but I decided to buy another once because my feet look good in yellow. LOL. And I also love white footwears. I’m always buying white sandals and this is like the umpteenth one (exaggerates!).

Anyway, yesterday after I hit the bank I went to Spa Riviera again to have a body massage and foot scrub. My back has been aching for almost a week now (it’s still aching but the massage has relieved the pain somehow).  I don’t know if the reason of the backache is my bad posture, the long hours of just sitting in front of the laptop or because of my Tae Bo/aerobics/workouts. Anyhow, I won’t stop the physical exercises because I’m so intent on getting slim and healthy. It’s one of my goals this year remember? I won’t write here what else I did yesterday because it’s going to take a lot more time. LOL. I was alone when I invaded the malls and the spa yesterday because Tim got delayed in coming back here again so I let out my frustration by shopping not only for me but for the people I love as well. I had a good time pampering myself. It wasn’t so bad.

And now my bebeh is back from his week-long traveling again. He arrived today. He was here this afternoon just to see me because he knows I miss him (duh!). His work is really a handful. Don’t know when they’re going to add a new IT guy who could help with some of the work. No use getting all worked up right now because I’m in a really good mood. The weekend is near and we’re going to have fun with Monica! Just finished chatting with her and we decided to watch the movie “Watchmen” at SM City on Saturday. I’m excited! I know the three of us are going to have fun, we always do.

the yellow slip-ons..

I am so ready for summer! Now for the clothes….

From The Inside Out

Learned this song from the Singles for Christ.

I have a crush on Marty Sampson. He’s one of the Worship Leaders of Hillsong Church. I admire his faith. I admire the songs he composed. I admire his voice. I admire everything about him.

Listen to this song. I know you’ll love it too. Praise God! We’re blessed!

From The Inside Out – Hillsong

A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring
You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring
You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

Happy Birthday Bebeh Ko!

Today is my bebeh’s birthday. But he’s not here. We’re not together. We didn’t even see each other today. BECAUSE he had to go to work. Awful isn’t it? How bad can a guy’s birthday be? Let me tell you how…

1. He is not with his family.

2. Somebody forgot his birthday. In fact 3 important people in his life forgot his birthday. Or maybe they do know its his birthday but they just  forgot to greet him.

3. He suffered from food poisoning for 3 days. He’s feeling better now. But he can’t eat what he wants or likes on his birthday.

4. Just when he’s feeling better, some boss called him yesterday – not really telling him to get to work! – but hinting it. Damn! Give the guy some slack. Or a  reliever or something! Do you always have to rely everything on him? What if he got admitted to the hospital? What would you do? Just stop your operations? I really hate it whenever his cellphone rings, vibrates or beeps when we’re together. I know he’s on call but even on weekends? Even in church? His day off? Can’t you give the guy a break? For gosh’s sake you can’t even give him a much higher salary! The guy is so overworked! I mean – the salary he’s getting is like what I was getting when I was still working at a call center. Yeah sure he is traveling but how much traveling does he need? Do you really think he likes traveling  a lot? You can’t blame him for wanting to resign so bad. If not for someone he wouldn’t have cared. He doesn’t need the job anymore. He’s got other wonderful opportunities to pursue out there. But he’s just too caring and understanding and thoughtful to just resign – unlike what I did at that call center.

5. He wasn’t able to get the cake he wants today.

6. He had to go to Roxas and Kalibo to take care of 3 or 5 branches (whatever!).

6. and lastly…my bebeh’s not with me..He’s at some stupid hotel sleeping alone. He ate dinner alone.

I feel sorry for my bebeh. He’s a quiet guy. The silent type. He does his job, he does everything without complaining – even if it’s already so unfair. But right now just let me be. I’m voicing out my frustrations. Because he won’t. (I’m sorry beh I have to do this. I know I said I can’t write when I’m sad but this time it’s different.) With his job, if only the people up there will get another IT Coordinator for Negros then Tim won’t have to travel often and be so “in demand.” I mean he can’t even  get  proper days off every weekend. He always has to go to some place. He can’t spend time with me. He can’t spend time with his family. He can’t even spend some time with himself. No wonder he’s not gaining more weight.

So how bad can my bebeh’s birthday be? I just hope he’s feeling better now. I hope he won’t get sick anymore.

But don’t worry beh. We will celebrate your birthday when you get back. I love you beh. Sorry for being so stubborn. But I’m trying to change that. You know I love you. Happy Birthday Bebeh ko..

UPDATES:

March 9, 2009 – It’s been 3 days since Tim’s birthday. He was here last Saturday, we did stuff together. Then yesterday, Sunday, he ate a very delicious lunch cooked by Mamang here at home. Then around 2PM he went back to Roxas to finish his tasks. Thank God he’s feeling better now. And by the way, I made invisible some parts of this post because of Tim’s instructions. He thinks some of his co-workers are reading my blogs. And he doesn’t want me writing anything “bad” about “some” people. So okay, I could live with that hence the “invisible” sentences. There you go beh, hope you’re satisfied with this now. I just can’t delete this post you know.
