A Girl’s Notebook :)

It’s my off from work today, and I am enjoying my new midi player. I don’t mind if my neighbors hear me singing. Oh I really love my rest days. I remember my friend Melady told me, that a day without call is priceless. It surely is!!!

Anyway, while browsing through the song book and searching for a good song to sing, I felt so warm. Oh, yah I have not take a bath yet but the temperature is different. Then I remember that it’s summer season already.

My aunt Evelyn, joined me in singing and then asked if we can bring the midi player to Quezon. Well, yes we can. She said that she’s planning to hold a reunion and we’ll bring the midi player instead of renting a videoke.

I liked the idea! I am also thinking of having a vacation on the outer banks this summer. Or we can just enjoy the beach with the rest of our family. Hope this will push through.

Ciao!

Singing is one of my outlets whenever I feel happy or sad, tired and wasted. I thank God for the talent He gave me. And, I share it every time an opportunity comes. I don’t think that it is some kind of show off. I believe that when God bless you with a talent or a special gift, you have to share it to other people. Use it for righteousness and for God’s glory. That reason made me really miss singing in the choir.

Anyway, since singing is my passion, I always dream of having some kind of ‘videoke” machine at home. Wherein, every time I feel like singing, I can just press the number of my favorite song and viola! Here’s the song and I can sing it.

I have checked on different gadgets like magic mic that has chips in it where the songs are stored. My dear friends also told me about dvd/midi player that plays a CD that contains thousands of songs. I also wanted to have the magic mic, but during this day, getting one of it will not be a wise decision for me to do.

So, I turn to those midi/dvd player wherein my budget could fit. While Nonet and I were strolling around the mall, I found a store, which sells midi players. They have one on sale during that day. The price is very affordable!

I asked the sales representative to tell me more about it. I fall in love with the player. It is not one of the “branded” players out there, but that is good for me.

I went ahead and bought the player. I was so excited while setting it up when we arrived home. Oh, we really enjoyed it! My sisters and I took turn in singing. Even my mother sang couple of songs as well.

We just have to call it a day at around 11:30PM for I still have work the following day. My work schedule starts at 4AM!

Ciao!

Like any other mother, I also have my own dream for my little girl. I wanted her to finish school. Have a stable job and live a comfortable and happy life. I was not born to a rich family. I don’t have this vast land properties or business or huge amount of money which I can give for her when I’m gone.

The only treasure that I can give her that will secure her future is a good education. It’s really up to her what she would take in college. She could be in some healthcare jobs or engineering or even in computer industry.

What is important is that, I will be able to send her to school and provide everything she needs. It may look difficult and challenging. But then, it is my daughter’s future we’re talking about here so there is no room for complaints.

At times, I really get tired of my work. But, my daughter inspires me much to go on and never quit. I draw strength from the love I have for her. A love that only a mother can give.

Ciao!

The “office choir” that was founded to sing in the mass for Ash Wednesday sang pretty well in my point of view. Well, we had our practice a day before the mass. Though the songs are familiar to us, we still have to practice to sound as one only. Thanks to the guitar talent shared by sir Beejay as well. Thank God, we’re able to make it in spite of the “rush.”

It was our payday also last Wednesday. It has been my habit to take my daughter out on a date during my payday. Though I am tired and sleepy, we still went out and had some bonding moments. I thought of buying her a Big Bird stuff toy, but plans changed when we arrived at the mall.

She loves playing at Tom’s World. Her favorite? Basketball! I just let her play what she wanted and let her enjoy that day. When we ran out of tokens, we decided to stroll around the mall. I thought she already forget about the “toy” I suppose to buy for her but then she asked me to go to the department store so we can buy a toy. We went there and found Big Bird stuff toy. Well, I was tempted to buy it already but practicality went into me again. Then I asked her if we could buy it some other time. She did not asked any more questions but instead agreed to it.

We continued walking around the mall. When she got hungry, she just asked for a doughnut. I asked her if she wants to have dinner in one of the fast food restaurant around, she said that she just wanted to eat her favorite Choco honey dipped flavor doughnut.

We then went home after 2 hours of malling. I know that she enjoyed it. She is actually looking forward to our “dating day” again.

Ciao!
