Love

April — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:29:47 +0000

For me, LOVE is a gift from GOD that is blessed to each and everyone of us when we acquired life the very moment we were formed in our mother’s womb. It is like an imaginary string that serves as a bond connecting one person to another. That is the reason why I believe in soulmates. Our duty to fulfill and find this LOVE is to let our natural feelings of respect for one’s self and value in life to guide us. It is when we immaturely declare desire, lust, and want as LOVE that we get lost and lose our chance of finding that ONE TRUE LOVE. It is then that we mess up the original and holy bonds or connections that were set up by GOD and we resort to divorce or separation and then start looking for another making us confuse about what we truly deserve. Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is just one step to discovering who your LOVE is. When I say this, I meant it is okay to break up and may be somewhere along after that you will be able to find that ONE person. But doing the act of LOVE prematurely before GOD’s blessing is another story. This is my own definition of LOVE…

You Belong With Me

April — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:04:22 +0000

Heard this song many times already and I like its beat. I also like the storyline about a typical college girl who is “one-sided-ly-in-love” with a guy who is already attached with another. The best part is the happy ever after ending. Well, I remembered my days back in college when I thought my husband was hitting on someone but was the whole time thinking about me. I never thought his eyes was on me and in the end it was a happy ending Sharing you one of my treasured songs…

YOU BELONG WITH ME

You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, She’s upset
She’s going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do

I’m in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she’ll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you’re lookin for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?

And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it’s with me.

Can’t you see that I’m the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me

Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

Rubik’s Cubing

April — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:34:37 +0000

I bought a rubik’s cube like a long time ago and it has been sitting on my desk and I could not figure out what to do to solve it. Well, I know a little of programming before so I know all about algorithms and I thought I also need one to solve my cube but I do not know how or where to start. So, I stopped daydreaming and gave up trying to become Albert Einstein and went to youtube to look for help. I got interested on this step-by-step tutorial and I started following the instructions. Although the algorithms seem to be difficult to remember at first I was able to internalize it without looking my cheat sheet which I made while watching the last 2 videos and there I just solve my own rubik’s cube! whew!!!

Stay Fashionable!

April — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:39:42 +0000

Previously on My Treasure Basket’s – Stuff from my Sister, I talked about having a new set of bag and sandal. After 2 months of staying at home and taking good care of my Cedric, I have decided to report back to work earlier than scheduled for financial reasons. Since I gained weight and reached 143 pounds when I was pregnant and only lost 8.8 pounds, I needed to find and buy a new set of clothes for me to wear. The clothes I already have do not fit anymore. Been looking for nice business attires fit for my work and position as a team manager. Something that would help conceal the fats that I have accumulated in my belly and thigh would be a nice choice. Dark colors will also help and of course the design. It is not hard to find nice designs. It is the price I am concerned about. I have to find an appropriate set of clothes for my job but with an affordable amount that I can get from my budget. I need to be fashionably beautiful in the dress but without spending too much for it. Aside from that I have to make sure it is in harmony with the accessories that I already have. I only have 3 days to prepare so I need to scout in the malls as well as through the net. Good luck to me…

Inspiring Stories

April — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:47:46 +0000

Screenshot this on a video in Yahoo's Second Act Page

I was logging in to my account in yahoo to check my emails for feedback on the applications I have made and I stumbled upon a video clip that leads to a web page on yahoo about people reinventing their lives and finding real fulfillment and happiness in it. We do not realize it but there are a lot of people in the world who have jobs and wonderful compensation but they are not happy with what they are doing. That is because they failed to reinvent. They are afraid of taking risks.

Second Act is the title of the yahoo page that I have come across with and it tells about stories of brave people who took the step to forget about loneliness, pain, and worries in life by understanding the other side of their existence on earth and that is their inner and natural desire not dictated by the current needs of living the struggles in life. In the end, they found true happiness and enjoyment in what they have discovered.

For me, the most inspiring story is the story of Lisa Fisco who was once an Emmy Award-winning television producer and has now been training to become the oldest female weightlifter to compete in Olympic Games. This passion was realized after a divorce. She is an example of a brave woman who loves herself and continues to share her inspiration to other people who has suffered more or less the same unexpected frustrations in life. Watch the video on Yahoo’s Second Act.

Nikon Coolpix S50 Battery, Nowhere to be found!

April — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 06:03:47 +0000

Leonard Cedric’s Christening schedule and his father’s birthday are fast approaching. We have already made downpayment for the reception and also got permission from our parish to hold Cedric’s christening in another parish. Invitations were already sent. Everything was set and made ready except our camera. At first, I thought its battery was just exhausted but I was wrong, it’s dead. We have to replace it but we could not find any shop in Cebu that sells its battery. Our camera is a Nikon Coolpix S50 and if we could not get a new battery then we will not have the luxury of taking as much pictures as we want aside from the consequence that I will not be able to take pictures for my posts. I am not losing hope though. However, if the event comes and we still do not have a new battery then I guess I will just have to rely on my friends…

What’s New on My Treasure Basket?

April — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 03:26:45 +0000

Been experimenting on My Treasure Basket in wordpress especially that it is Saturday and my husband is at home to take care of Cedric. I always wanted to add more things on my site. Something that would make my readers get more interested in my posts and the site itself. So I have come up of an idea of adding a widget that contains what I am currently thinking and a daily love quote. It is nice because it is customizable. I also discovered that I can actually add html codes in the widget to make it appear nicer on screen. I also think I can add animated images on it which I think would bring more life to my site. Actually, just thought of that now and will definitely try it one of these days.

Stuff from my Sister

April — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:00:52 +0000

I have been browsing the net and checking online shops for nice stuff in preparation for my going back to work after maternity leave. I was not able to find something that I like aside from the very expensive price and the hassle of having to wait for it to be delivered. Good thing my sister did not forget to save me some of her stuff.

I got this new bag and sandal from my thoughtful and industrious sister. Since mama left to the US, my sister took over my mama’s business – buy and sell. Until now she is still selling them at a very affordable price. Below are the pictures of the stuff I got from her.

Silver Bag for only 400

Gladiator Sandals for only 800

Lost Montego Bay!

April — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:01:15 +0000

Huhuhu! I lost my Montego Bay Club Sandal, all because our new house help threw it away! When I ask her why, she said “Daan naman to (It looks like it’s worn out already).” I only used it for less than 10 times for crying out loud! Good thing my mom brought me as “pasalubong” new pairs of sandals. Thank you mom! I still can’t wear them though because my feet are still swollen after pregnancy. But even if I have these new sandals it still hurts knowing that I paid much for that Montego Bay Club sandal that was thrown away. I think I am at fault because I miss to give our house help house rules when she started. I could not blame everything to her. It was too late. All I can do now is to accept it and move forward…

: Did not have a picture of my lost sandal so I searched and got this picture from EBay. It is the same Montego Bay Club sandal that I lost

Below are the pictures of the sandals that my mom gave me when she arrived. Thank you Ma! You save me. I now have something to wear for work soon…
