Stroll 7

Last Sunday, I decided to bring Peso to a park one tricycle ride away from our subdivision..

Peso wearing his new shirt, Trying to see where we are going...









Peso's first picture at the park, the popular cows...


This is the park's mini bridge. Beneath that bridge is a large canal, which separates the road going to the mall.. Peso refused to pose in the middle..





This is a nearby park, and Statue of Virgin Mary is in the middle....We prayed there in a while for Peso's health....




A restaurant a few walks away, we were not allowed to enter because Peso was wearing sleeveless and he has no short and slippers



Of course we have picture again...


Then we proceeded to 7-11 Convenient store, Peso was waiting for me here, while I was paying for his bottled water in the counter



We ended up relaxing at the coffee shop outside Rustan's Supermarket, I ordered Strawberry Iced Tea, and Cheeseburger rolls for Peso




Peso drinking water after eating his cheeseburger rolls


Peso trying to befriend Ronald Mc Donald here....

Now they are friends....

Finally we are going home....look at Peso getting ready with a toy in his mouth




Home at last....

Stroll 6

Strolling to the same place everyday, makes a boring subject, but then Peso and I have several photos to share

It's just me and Peso so I don't have choice, at least Peso is a fast learner and very obedient dog,always ready to pose whenever Big Sis Cel asked him too

He dislikes to be associated with flowers but he is learning now.....






He is so goodlooking here.... He is smiling at me














He is looking at me here, asking for his toy



We have pictures again....













He got his toy at last.....












We are almost home here, we usually end our stroll this way... Peso teasing and waiting for me to grab the toy....

Stroll 5

I was looking for a subject which I will share in my amateur photography thread of a Dogwebsite where I am an active poster, when Peso called my attention, he has been a very good boy that I allowed him to stroll unleashed....


He is really adorable in that picture.... then I think of this one as a nice spot, like little mountains and houses between them...




Peso met a new playmate, his name is Dagul....


Peso resting in front of the sari-sari store of our new friend whom we met because we passed by her store everytime we "walk the dog".


The Sari-sari store I am talking about is just a part of this green house; very admirable but this is too big for me and my dogs....

Opps we have picture again....

My Home

There is no place like home... and no matter how your house looks, as long as it gives you comfort, well that is your home... My house is what you called a "humble one". It obviously needs major repair, but since house renovation is something I cannot afford so far, I just content myself to improve what's inside....

It's normal for me to transfer one furnitures and other from one side of the house to another... but this year, it became more often.... Just in the 1st quarter, I already changed my house interiors for the 3rd time.
This is the former arrangement, TV set facing the long couch and above the couch is a mirror.

Now, I remove the TV set from its location and 2 single sofa replaced it. I've seen this style in a magazine where in from the living room, the view to the dining area is open.

The long couch and the mirror was remove and the TV replaced them. This arrangment, is perfect when I don't have a choice but to "multi tasks", meaning I can watch TV while cooking dinner, Watch TV while feeding the dogs, and watch TV while I'm in a bathroom.



This is the former location of my 2 pink couches

Here is the long couch now, This place is best when you just want to rest and watch TV or just listen to your favorite music.


This is my 2nd TV set and CD player...This is where I watch my favorite TV programs when I have nothing else to do but to relax... The long mirror was placed beside the entertaiment rack, a wall clock was removed from there.

From the couch, I opened the window to have a view of my small garden.

Almost the view of the whole house to see the changes.Dogs are actively participating..I guess they like it...

They obviously like it...Why not it's their home too.... Look at the wall where their picture is also hang beside my graduation portrait

By the way, here's my mini pantry, pantry without food hahaha.

So that's my home.. not so impressive outside but inside it is admirable... I mean in this life what's inside is more important than those that meet the eyes....

And how will I end this, well here are pictures of flowers in my garden..

Old time hobby...

I love to sing eversince...... When minus one became available it was like a dream came true for me.... I was still in elementary when I had my first minus one....then in Highschool, Karaoke became talk of the town, and when my father gave it to me as gift for my 18th birthday, it was like I had the most cherish possession... I was already working when I bought my new Karaoke... a neighbor told me Karaoke is not 'IN" anymore, VIDEOOKE is the best. Well at that time having a Videooke is like an impossible dream, I just told them Karaoke is OK, anyway, all I want to do is to sing, Videoke is for those who can't sing without a hint or tips...

And from VHS, the arrival of VCD player followed.... Much more affordable than VHS, VCD was a hit... year 2000 when I bought my first VCD player and I finally had my set needed for Videoke. It became my hobby to record all my songs and have cassette collections of it... 2006 My 21 Inches TV just stopped showing images,then the VCD player just gave in...it just stuck up, and just can't be used anymore. One day I came home and found my microphone on the floor butchered by my dog Pissy...without scolding my dog, I just threw the poor microphone in the garbase can....then after that I did not sing anymore.... changes in my life made me lost my interest to all things that I love to do....all VCDs remained untouched in the lonely corner of my home...

Time slowly heals wounds,that I slowly bring back things that I love to do...

One by one I was able to bring back my set of entertainment package....New TV, DVD player and a microphone.... VCDs are scattered again...Though I can't use them as often as I used to, well at least they are back to their original functions again...
alt="" />

I am back to singing again, but then I can only do it when I have time.... One might say "Magic Sing" is the trend nowadays, but I am okey with what I have... Magic sing is too much for me.... the only good thing with it is you don't have to stop to change the vcd coz it's all stuck up inside the microphone.. and it scores your performance, but aside from that, my present set is not that bad anymore...

Something I can't get over.....

If there is one test in my life that I failed to pass,, I guess it's having a consistent relationship with my present officemates... but what can I do, at this point in time I don't have a choice, this is my bread and butter, I need this job to feed myself and my dogs.....

And I always ended up, regretting my decision eight years ago....For those who can read my blog, before you leave your job, you must think twice or more.... you must have the most sensible reasons before you transfer, something that I failed to do... As naive as I was, I never thought that every unit in office has their own unique standards in treating their staff... I never thought that my work as an admin would make a difference and can become a reason for me not to get a promotion....

Nothing wrong with people I work with maybe, but their personalities combined are something that provoked my pain even more.... I was told when I decided to transfer, the one who requested my services did not promise me anything, that it was still my decision... so now it was really my fault.... and I changed.... no matter how I tried to become better, the harder for me to maintain a good relationship with them..sometimes the harmony is okey,but maybe the wound is too deep, pain surfaced easily... from time to time I got offended. Felt like they were all always against me. And they are not bother anymore by what ever it is that pains me....

With just one incidence, all pains returned to me like rain...how they all keep quiet when I have the point, and how all of them have comments when my reaction was uncalled for... Maybe in this life there are people who became your friends and yet you can't tell them what you feel and how you got offended by their reception of you everytime you tried to approach them...or maybe I never really made a mark in their lives, the always mean, rude Maricel, but I am really just expressing what I think is right! as far as I know I never caused a lot a pain to a particular person to the point of holding her life.....with one's principle that still exist, look what happened to my life? My mother died without me telling her I finally got promoted.... so who wants promotion now....

For the last Seven years I felt worst....feeling like I am doomed to this unit. I was told several times that I am free to transfer to other units, and I told them it's too late now coz no one will take me anymore because I had maybe the worse record in the whole office.. which i believe is untrue.... but that's what they made me feel....

Then I was told that to have a chance for promotion I must start getting technical jobs.... and I did, and they gave the idlest agency, in consideration for my admin work... My momentum was high, I was willing to take the challenge... but that was it....it's like letting me smell the food but never let me taste it.... and years passed I am still an Admin.... and I just felt tired proving myself. Felt like I am too old to prove myself and aspire for PSO2 positions....

And I really regret, leaving ORC, the unit that I left because at one time they have lesser work to do, the unit that made me work happily even as Admin, the unit where I always see equality.... no descrimination...... now I don't get a promotion because I am not a good employee, at least now I deserved it....but then I know I need to do something. I need to go back to how I was before I transfered to this unit.... I need to remind myself what Mark told me "na sa ugali ko raw wala akong kapupuntahan", God knows he is wrong, God knows I am not bad, maybe the people I am working with are not bad people too, just maybe clashing of personalities. The way they take side in every commotion, and how I have a different view.... I was told that filing of filial leave will always be filed 5 days before, but I insisted what if its emergency? can you file your emergency five days before? If I did not have point how come personnel finally considered it? definitely not frightened by me...I just really have a point....

But my officemates never see it... Maybe if it is a point of others but me, they will agree....

Stroll 4

There are so many pictures that I still need to share which I believe should have a place here in Peso and I stroll series...


Taking a different route, We passed by these banana trees which gave me an impression of provinces that I visited before.

This is one of the views from our place....Community on a mountain...making me realized that my place where I live is also a part of a mountain..

In our previous stroll or walk the dog, we started on top of this ladder. Now we started at the bottom... Peso climbing the cement ladder...


Oh here it is,This was taken a week ago...Peso is looking at the cement ladder behind him, so that's how it looks on top..and hey Peso's jersey turned blue hehehe .
A few steps from that ladder is a big house....actually it's just one of the big houses, but sadly I seldom see people in those houses.




A lot of pine-trees on our way home....
Peso looking at me, it's time to play, where is the toy.???

opps we are going home....
