It will be worth the wait


There is something about about watching Pinoy romance movies. No matter how baduy, corny the movie is, it touches a part of my heart. It crunches, makes my breathing shallow. It hurts. My mind tells me not to wait but the heart whispers.

It's hard to get by


Today my Angkong was brought to the hospital. I've been with him since birth. He is like my father. He is not perfect. In fact he is a very strong person. He is the type of person who you say "matalas Ang dila". When we learned he has CA back on 2004 or 06, thing ls started to change. His personality change. He was nicer and less sunget.

Going back to my First sentence. When he was on the car, and I was looking into his eyes. I never felt so sad looking into someone. I wanted to help. Give him a part of me so that he will be the same Angkong before he left for Baguio. I mean, no matter what or how people share their experiences. It is nothing like going thru the process. I know that I should be stronger and ready. Since I live with him. But I feel that it's nothing like it. I don't think people could be ready. I don't think I will be ready.

Sometimes I wish that I don't have a heart.

Social Spark


I had the most wonderful time is school today. Finally we discussed a topic that I am interested too. Social media. We talked about facebook, twitter, google, how these companies became the master of the world wide web. I finally had the courage spoked out in class. To expressed and share the knowledge with confidence. I'm not big in talking in front of the class. I am so scared to be judge and criticized by others. Enrolling in masters is not what I expected, not even near to what I imagine it to be.


Honestly, For the first 20-40 days in school, it was hard socially and mentally. For the first time I felt like an outcast. I didn't connect to most of my classmates. Felt feel like an imbecile. I couldn't give much knowledge to the case studies. In other words- I feel like shit.


Today in school. It change a little. There was light. A spark of hope. An answer to my prayers. I hope this will continue.

Re-Cap


2008


2009


2010

Getting older sure brings a lot of pressure. People expect something from you, a better life, a better car, a better carrer, in other words - something different. I wonder where will my life will lead next year. Will I be different Valerie? Honestly, I don't like growing. I like my life now. I don't want the pressure of work or school. I have a paper due by the end of the month and I haven't start writing. I'm still confused on how to write it down and I'm having a hard time getting people to help me. I think our Plant Manager expect a lot from me. He kept saying that I (alone) should do it. He has no idea how much pressure this paper is doing to me. Sometimes I wished that they could have seen me in a different way, not the Manager type. Oh boy... The expectations that the Plant, my family, especially my father is killing me. I'm having a hard time thinking on how I'm going to make things happen and achieve these expectations. I try hard not to think about failure. I try to keep in mind the positive and support that my Sister, Mother, and friends cheer me with. I know that there is no easy way in things like this and I also know that when I do accomplish this, it will be one of my greatest highlight in my life.

As I try not to face reality of growing old, I know that I could not stop nor delay the things that are ment in my life to happen. So I ask one thing for my birthday and I hope that this was ment for me to accomplish and not loose my sanity. I won't mention is here anymore what exactly I am asking for, but I'm sure He already knows about it.


I placed a 3 year recap of my birthday photos. Funny that I mentioned that I don't like growing up. Yet, you can see me change the way I look and wear more appropriate clothes throughout the years. I can't figure out if its because, I change for the better or I change cause everyone expects me to change.

Anyhow,

Thank you so much for everyone who greeted me and made this simple day special to me.

I love you guys so much!

PEACE!

ME - Day 10

Overview:

The first week, we takled about "Self Mastery" - knowing ones self.

I've learned that according to the Self Assessment Test;

1. Right Hemisphere Brain Dominant
2. Quadrant D
3. Scored ENFJ - Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging in my MBTI Test

Summing it up in one word, I am what they called "The Dreamer". I'm lacking the traits of the logical person. So I have to work hard(er) to develop the other side of my Brain because according the my professors, I'll be needing this traits for me to pass my Course and to be a great Entrepreneur. I need to work on with my arithmetic/ number skills, logic thinking, and reasoning.

Recently with all the case studies that we are reading and discussing, I've beginning to feel the pressure of my missing traits. First of all, I'm having a hard time understanding the Charts on our case studies. Whenever I look at it, all I can make out are stick figures or doodling scrips. I'm in extra-effort mode and it feels like that my head is bring stretch to its limits most times and other, it feels like a jello.

Since school start I'm exhausted to deal with work stuff, which is usually do in between dinner time and reading the Case studies (for the next day). This Master Course is definitely different from what I expected it to be. Really different compared to College. There are a LOT of READING, ANALYZING, ENUMERATING, CHARTING and (what I hate the most) Dealing with NUMBER. Also, I'm having a hard time with the gathering of data with my Macro- Environment information which will be very essential to my defense with my First Module by April. Again, I have to do the messy research of the nature of my business, which is Plastic Container and I could not find relevant Secondary Data over the internet. Freak Talaga! I don't know where the (Hell) I'm going to look for that data.

I don't know if I'm cutout for this, but I surely want to pass this, finish what I started. One things for sure (and I'm feeling it already) I'll be a totally different person next year.

The Perfect RED Bag



The red color that burns my eyes
The leather that is very smooth to my touch
The quirky style that shouts out my personality
So much for the wait,
I lost the red bag


I've been eying on this bas since last year, December. I told myself that I will buy it before Christmas, so I won't be tempted to use it before the 24. Alas, when I came back for it, it was already sold out. Only one branch of Kate Spade Boutique sells is here in Manila. I'm keeping this one in my Investment List. I hope that soon, this bag will be available.

2011 Outlook

ONE: Graduate School

18 months of studying Management in Entrepreneurship at Ateneo Graduate School, Rockwell Center. School will officially start this February and I have 3 modules to accomplish for the whole school year. I'll be studying and working at the same time. I really really hope that I'll be able to enjoy and adapt to the hectic schedule that I will be juggling. I won't be leaving my work as part of Sales & Marketing, I'll be incorporating being a GM and will practicing the learnings on my future studies.

I really hope and pray that I will swiftly achieve and put into practice what I will be learning in school and be able to incorporate the principals/ values to our own company. I hope to prove to my Dad that choosing me is not a mistake.


TWO: Waking Up in the Morning

The first challenge that I encounter in my daily routine. I can't sleep early, no matter how I force myself. I hope my Classes will start 10AM.


THREE: Nicotine Cut-Back

Since Ateneo is a Smoke Free School and I'm pretty sure that my classes will be held on the 4th floor; I hope that my smoking habit will be controllable and (cross fingers) lessen.


FOUR: Friends

Looking forward to meet new set of friends who I can hang out or (maybe) do business with.


FIVE: Year Ending

We shall see....

Spending time on both sides of the Family

Accidentally falling off the Hammock - No photo for this one.

It was a hilarious and humiliating and (You Bet!) a painful experience. The hammock was in between the Nipa Hut and Majong table where (at that time) some of my cousins we playing majong. I was trying to sit myself in the hammock, tucking my behind from the net, I went out of balance creating a summersault falling flat in my ass. For those who saw me, went frantic and asking me if I hurt myself. I was so embarrassed, I wanted to ground to swallow me up! Anyways, I gave them a quick answer and left. Me, try hard not to create a non-painful expression on my face, I went straight ahead to the shore and deep my ass in the cool water of the beach. For half a minute i can feel the pain, but as I started to recall and play the scene over and over in my head, I was laughing all by myself hysterically!

8 Kinky Panties- 5 from Uncle and 2 from Ach



Thanks so much!

Bose Bluetooth Head Set - from Daddyo



Thanks Dad! Now I can use my Mobile phone while driving.

Last but not the Least...

Underwater Video Camera

My Christmas Gift to myself since I wasn't able to buy the Kate Spade Typing Bag. No Photo Yet since I'll be getting it over the weekend.

Something Kinky from Santa

This Christmas all of my cousins are here in Manila with us. For a change we planed to give an exchange gift among cousins. The Theme is something kinky. I could not remember who is incharge of the idea, since My Cousin Andree and my Sister are pointing fingers to each other.

Below is our group picture with the gifts that we received from each other. I hope the next time around we get to do more than exchange gift. Maybe we can have a dress up theme or choreograph a dance :)


2010 Holiday Experience



My 2010 Christmas Vacation is one of the most hectic, fun, & memorable holiday vacation that I have.

Since my Aunt Bet, cousin Ryan, & Alex arrived, no day goes to waste. From morning till night, we are packed of things to do, places to go, foods to eat. They arrived 21st of December and went home on 1st of January. I started my vacation on the 23rd and spent most of my time with the Lipio family going to Tiange at Greenhills, Pet village at Tiendesitas, drinking booze at High Street- Fort, snorkeling to the coral gardens of Coron- Palawan and enjoying our sun bathing to the beach shore of Malcapuya Island. It was a very tiring experience but worth all the sleepless night I had.

Untill now, I still haven't gotten the sleep I was hoping to do over the holidays or completely buy all of my Christmas present to give. I'm still missing 4 gifts to office mates and friends.

Oh before I forget to mention; on the flight to Coron, Palawan- I won a Cebu Pacific basket that unfortunately my sister lost it when we arrived at our lodge. Curse to the person who took it! I bet that its the same guests that checked in with us, who took my basket. There were only 3 winners and 2 of them came from us. It was a "show me" game and the host ask for an item, and who ever showed it first gets to win the basket. Alex won for showing the flight pamphlet and I got mine by showing a cigarette. The 3rd one, i forgot what "show me" item was asked, but the person who won didn't stay in the same lodge as ours. Anyways, Alex left his basket with me and its in my closet together with my sunblock. suntan, and eco-bag that i use in the beach.



From L-R: Ryan, Aunt Bet, Alex



Lipio Clan



I'm looking forward to the time when All of the Lipio Clan will all be together - Celebrating someone's birthday, Summer vacation, or even next year's Holiday Vacation.
