I was about to leave the office when I chance an article about the Eraserheads concert in GMANews.tv that says the August 30 event was not canceled but there are changes that have been made.
First, they have a new sponsor and the event will now be held in The Fort and not in CCP anymore.
This is the most beautiful news I received today. Read this for more information Eheads.
Team China gathered most of the gold medals in the Beijing Olympics. They have 51 Gold, 21 Silver and 28 Bronze for a total of 100 medals all-in-all but Team USA bagged a total of 110 medals - 36 Gold, 38 Silver and 36 Bronze.
Third to the two giants is Russia who got 23 Gold, 21 Silver and 28 Bronze followed by Britainwith 19 Gold, 13 Silver and 15 Bronze and Germany with 16 Gold, 10 Silver and 15 Bronze.
Though the Philippine athletes were not lucky enough to have even a single medal in the Olympics, we still have something to be proud of because our RP Wushu players did well in Beijing and bagged Gold medals too.
See, we should not lose hope and rather look forward and prepare more in the 2012 London Olympics.
How true?
News about the Eraserheads reunion concert easily spread in the web and every Eheads fans go gaga about it that they even log on to The Red List for the ticket.
The much awaited concert also became a common blog topic and next to it were a bunch of comments from fellow bloggers. Some said that the event is only a kind of viral marketing by the sponsor until Ely Buendia confirmed it on television.
Most bloggers kept on asking where to get the free concert tickets only to find out a week before that the said concert won’t prosper because the Department of Health did not issue a permit - all because the event was sponsored by a cigarette manufacturer.
The news was indeed disgusting for Eraserheads fans who are patiently waiting for the tickets on the August 30, 2008 event. But I think Eraserheads fans like me should not lose hope and continue believing that one day we will see our fab four, Ely, Raimund, Marcus and Buddy, reunited again.
If I only have the money to finance it…I will.
Last night was just as stunning as the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics because 
Barangay Ginebra Kings and Air21 are all out for their final championship series. The Araneta Coliseum was alive again and the ticket sales also made history.
It’s a great game between Ginebra and Air21 knowing that the latter is still a budding team in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and Ginebra is already a big part of the basketball industry with an enormous supporters cheering all-through out every games - 
win or lose.
But last night game was for the Kings who bagged 97 points against 84 points of Air21. In fairness to Air21 Express players they gave all their best to win the game and that makes the final series more perfect to watch out for. It’s their first time in the finals after six years, but I guess it’s not yet the right time for Air21 to be the champ in this season. Anyway, there’s still more time for it guys, see you on the second season on October 4!
Today is Kat’s oath-taking in Mall of Asia Convention Center. Our father joined her in the ceremony while mother just stayed at home to prepare some foods for a simple celebration. At last, we have a nurse in the family!
Looking back during my graduation in elementary school the priest who offered the mass called me during the homily and asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up and I eagerly answered that I dream to be nurse someday.
But I was worried because of my height. Aside from my height, another factor is the financial aspect knowing that nursing course is one of the expensive courses in college.
When I was in my freshmen in college, I was eager to enroll in banking and finance course, but because of the long queue and almost two hours of waiting I decided to jump off and go straight in the line with less enrollee – in CLMC. So by
And the rest is history. I did not become a nurse or a banker, maybe because I was destined to be somebody else.
“I’m not the type who patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken pieces as long as I live.”
I received the quote from a friend and I wonder what’s in between her message when I knew all along that she’s having a good life, enjoys her work and her family very much. I just hope all is well with her.
Today is Karl’s first quarterly exam. His first subjects are Sibika and Filipino. Tomorrow, he’s going to take English and Science while on Friday will be his favorite subject, Mathematics.
He really loves Math although he’s a bit confused in Roman numerals to Hindu Arabic form but I just leave it to his dad because they blend well in studying the said subject.
I am in control of his other subjects. His weakness is Sibika (Social Studies). I don’t want to force him to study if he can no longer absorb what we’re reviewing (bata pa kasi). We just told him to study hard and if he gets a good grade in his first quarterly exams, he will get his reward - a Battle B-Daman toy.
It’s my sister Karla’s birthday today! She’s working in Abu Dhabi for almost a year now. Happy Birthday, sis and thank you for everything! ‘Yung bag ko ha, heheh, joke!
Actually, it was a double celebration because my cousin, Ate Lala, who’s in Dubai, also spent her birthday with Karla and the gang (Tita Dang - asan na ang visit visa ko? and Estela).
Belated Happy Birthday also to Mareng Sasha and to all celebrators this first week of August.
Things we must be thankful for:
1) Worries at the start of the day, means you’re still alive.
2) Headache at the end of the day, means you can still work hard.
3) Clothes that don’t fit, means you have a good appetite.
4) The mess to clean after a party, means you have friends around you.
5) Roofs that needs fixing, means you’ve got a house.
6) Taxes to pay, means you’re not unemployed.
7) Heartaches, means you love selflessly.
Being a working mom is tough and challenging.
If you have my kind of boss it is really hard to separate work from bringing up kids and family matters. Just imagine, the devil wears Prada, ahehe.
Have you ever deal with skipping an anniversary or a date and crying over work or finishing the deadline at home even it’s your unofficial day off?
Most of my female officemates who were married (of course) have difficulty in conceiving because of stress caused by the pressure in meeting the deadline.
We don’t have regular rest day so it means less or rather no quality family time. I just end up cramming whenever my kid has an assignment, a project or the monthly exam is coming. Though I see to it that I lend him time in reviewing his subjects or doing his assignment there were also times that I failed to do so, sad eh.
And the big fact about this is I’m so tired of my work because there’s no room to grow, no career development at all plus the meager income for a 7 days work.
I wanted to try a different job like just being a stay at home mom or hunt for a work that is more family friendly.
