October 20 is National Thank You Day

Three years ago, Vice Mayor Isko Moreno with the help of course of Mayor Lim, declared October 20 as National Thank You day.  Same holiday was also pushed to be a national holiday by Congressman Villar and supported by Sen. Villar.  I think there is already a request to make this as an official celebration day of saying thank you's.  


Saying "thank you" is a very simple word yet so powerful and gratifying.  For some, you might not notice that you are forgetting to be thankful to people whom you think have touched and have been part of your (everyday) life, or as simple as opening the door for you, pouring the drink into your glass in a restaurant, offering a seat in MRT, etc.  There are a lot of things surrounding us whom we may ignore to say thank you.


Saying thank you gives smiles..and it even gives a reflection of your mood..syempre if you're masungit on a certain day, you dont normally say thank you ksi nga mainit ulo mo.


A simple thank you will make you feel good also. So try to say thank you to people who deserves to be thanked. and here's my thank you list:
1.  Thank you to Nanay Day (my baby boy's yaya) for treating my son as his own.
2.  Thank you to MY DAD and NANAY for reminding me always that I have a great job, and making me feel that they are proud of me.
3.  Thank you to my eldest daughter, Alyanna, for not having a boyfriend yet..THANK GOD!
4.  Thank you to my second daughter, Micaela, for always reminding  me of my "kapilyahan" when I was of her age...little alma talaga!
5.  of course, thank you to my one and only baby boy, MIGUEL, for making me smile and laugh everytime he greets me "MAMA" when I come home.
6.  Thank you to my Ate Lhet, for making abono of our meralco bills always, late payer ako:)


That's all for now... how about you, have you thanked someone today?

I Love the way you Lie

Ang Lapit na ng Pasko!

This is how i Spend my Sunday with My Kids:)

I am a weekend parent..sad to say but true.. so I really consider my weekends sacred because this the time that I make bawi to my kids.  Here's a preview of what we did last weekend, after doing the grocery, bought Ice Cream for kids, while waiting for hubby to pick us up, took a picture of them while eating.. :)

What Roses say to you?

My Job, My Career

I'm a social pr practitioner..that's it. I never imagined that this is the career for me.  When I was younger, gusto ko maging doctor (yeah, you heard it right, i wanted to be a doctor). but when I reached highschool, I changed my mind,  said I want to be an artist/painter. So I took a test in UST and had my examinations and actual drawing.   But I was not lucky then, the department said , mas mabuti ako sa masscom - my 2nd choice - so I take that as I failed the drawing test:(..
After that, I decided, I will take Marketing or Advertising to make use of my creativity - kung di ako mahusay sa drawing, at least sa strat/concept - babawi ako.


I took tests from a lot of Universities - Miriam, Holy Spirit, CE, La Salle, St. Scho, St. Paul Manila - then I chose St. Paul. I made a very good decision at this school (i think:) a lot I learned from my part time professors (they work in Pepsi, Nestle, SGV, Unilever and others).   di ko na ikwento ha kung bakit ako lumipat sa Letran - (sneak:  had to transfer to another school after giving birth to my first daughter..yun na)


The pr agency I am connected to right now is the 2nd "serious" job that I have.  Mind you, Social Marketing is not easy, it's very challenging but it  changed the way I see and approach life. I believe I can do more, I can do great things..and I can do well.   and that's why I'm sharing 2 photos as "PROOF"...It's almost lunchtime and I have to finish 2 media plans and then I saw these photos..and I want to share it, simple things can really make you feel great...


to give you a background:
