Living an ordinary life here in Lapu-lapu City for 7 years

When I first arrived here in Lapu-lapu City way back last June 27, 2005 I didn't expect that I will stay here for good. When I was a kid I dreamed to be an actress or a director or something related to acting and film but unfortunately I end up to be an ordinary employee with an ordinary life. For the past seven years that I've been here in Lapu-lapu City, a lot of things happened, first I worked in a Taiwanese company as a Pattern Maker, I thought that I will become a fashion designer when I came to that company but then I end up resigning when my director and I have this arguments (of course I am so maldita, maski director awayon)... Here are some of my random pics from 2005 up to now.

When I was employed to a Taiwanese company my boss really likes me, maybe because I look Chinese and I understand Chinese (actually, english pronounce in a chinese way. lol) She always invites me to whenever she wants to be. So I always have this luxury experience for free (take note for free! isn't that lucky?) Well, it takes charness to be like by others. Hahaha... These pictures were taken around late in 2005 (I can't remember the exact date) at Tambuli beach resort where I had my first jetsi ride. Oh I love the experienced.

On early 2006, my boss will always ask me to visit the temple every Sunday. I almost converted to Buddhism at that time for spending a lot of my Sunday's in Taoist Temple instead in my Catholic church . My boss also teach me how to pray to Buddha and I also known that Buddha was conceived by a holy spirit thru elephant. My boss not exactly said that Buddha's father is an elephant but there is a significance why elephant is important in Buddhism (Sorry I didn't get the exact meaning of elephant in Buddhism.) 
After spending time at the temple we always had our dinner at Lemon Grass, Ayala (Anah ko ka sosyal! lol!)

Middle of 2007 I gave birth to a baby girl, this is the turning point of my life. I didn't expect that on my early 20's I will become a Mom and this is another level of my life. Honestly, when I got pregnant on the late of 2006 I am not prepared but then in the end I realized how lucky I am to have a very loving partner(which I also met here in Lapu-lapu City..refer to my previous blog about our love story  ). After I gave birth  we went to a vacation in Bohol.

2008 - There were a lot of things happened in that year, me and Marky move on to our house in Genesis Subdivision which we acquired thru Pag-ibig, I resigned from my previous company and worked with Western Wats now known as Opinionology. Got regularized in the same year and enjoying the life in Wats. Tweety got her second vacation here in Lapu-lapu City so we spend time at the beach of Tambuli, the only beach resort I can think of here in Lapu-lapu City. The left side of the pictures were taken during my first year in Western Wats, the right side were taken during Tweety's vacation at Tambuli.


2009- During my less than a year stay in Wats I was able to met and make friends with some of my co-worker namely Anna, Jet, Eve and Sean. Suddenly, we decided to took a vacation outside LLC and that's in the Island of Boracay. Once of the most expensive vacation that me and Marky had but the most memorable one. Every time me and Anna talk about Boracay she always be reminded of the time where I almost fell in the cliff(pangpang) while driving an atv on our way to the mountainous part of Boracay. Another highlight happen in that year was my transferred to programming team in the middle of that year. I was with team 39 and felt really comfortable working with them. I also joined the volleyball team since I was a player(dili ko varsity, kabalo lang) during my college years.
In the year 2010, me and Marky decided to have Tweety stay in our house here in Lapu-lapu City. Around mid of 2010 Marky got sick and was advised to stop working for the mean time. The darkest part of my year here in LLC for we need to sent Tweety back again to North Cotabato because of financial reason. Another highlight on that year was my transfer to PM team. The pictures above were taken during our first team building with Team 29 and our Christmas party at Imperial Palace.

2011 - I consider this year a 'STANDING STILL' year for me. I couldn't believe how we were able to passed thru the difficulties in our life. Marky was able to back into shape, as in he is totally healed after 6 months of medication. He was back to work in the middle of the year and on the same year I met my relatives in Ilocos Sur. I took a 5 days vacation to Ilocos Sur together with my mom to met my relatives from US and Singapore. Also last year I was able to explore the Southern part of Cebu, namely, Sibunga and Dalaguete for free courtesy of in-laws. Our PM christmas party was held at Marco Polo, Cebu. I was also awarded as PM of the year, isn't that amazing. We end the year with a memorable vacation in my home town Maigo, Lanao del Norte during Christmas break. The first 2 pictures were taken during my Ilocos Sur vacation, the 3rd picture was taken during our vacation in my hometown and the last 3 pictures were taken during our PM christmas party.
2012 - The year isn't over but last january my cousin Jay had this simple but elegant wedding. The whole family has been invited. Pictures above were from Jay's wedding. I consider this year as staying beautiful and sexy, for what happen to Marky last 2010, I've been so particular with the food that we eat and of course constant exercise.
For the past seven years that I stayed here in Lapu-lapu City and away from my comfort zone I have learn to cook, to deal with different people and most especially I have learn to love unconditionally.
Indeed life is truly amazing!!!!!!
