Reunions

My cousin and his family are coming over from the US next month and we are all excited to see them. It will be the first time that we will see their 11 month old daughter who will be celebrating her 1st birthday here. Aside from that, I am also excited to see some of the things I bought online that I asked them to bring. Those are just some clothes for the kids. The husband was asking if I can buy some macanudo cigars but I told him it’s not possible. We’re really excited to see them. The last time I saw my cousin in law was 8 years ago, that was when they left for migration. She was not able to go home last 2007 for my cousin’s wedding because of some problems with her papers and last 2009 for our reunion since she was pregnant then. Our April weekends are booked already and we can’t wait to see them!

Angela's Birthday

We attended Angela’s party a few weeks ago at their house in QC. Angela is the daughter of one of Paul’s HS friends. It was a simple party with just family and friends and Hannah had fun playing with the balloons and running around while Lance enjoyed feeding the turtles. After eating, we played again for a few minutes but left early since Hannah is getting cranky already. Here are some pics:

New Product

I remember during our company’s business planning, our IT presented their proposed products for this year. It includes speech recognition, video conference, and other software such as Microsoft office, virus scan, scanning software and other products like laptops, etc. I don’t know which among those products are selling like hotcakes but the sales from IT group are better compared to previous years. I hope this will continue so that we will all be happy come December. J

Ocular Inspection

Last Thursday, I was tasked by our President to visit one of the resorts in Batangas to see if we can have our summer outing there. We were hoping to find a place similar to those who had an Orlando vacation so that the employees will enjoy. So off I went together with 3 of my officemates. Our President is kind enough to let us use his Fortuner so that we will be comfortable during the trip. We didn’t like the place he suggested so we went to visit other resorts. We found one that we like and we think the employees will love it but the person we talked to said we have to coordinate with the Manila office for the reservations. Last Friday, we called the resort but unfortunately they are fully booked until June. The committee will have a meeting this afternoon to discuss more venues and set a schedule for ocular again. We are targeting to have the outing by next month so we only have a few weeks to work on. I hope we will be able to find a good place.

Busy

I am busy at work now. Some of my proposed projects have been approved by our President and he added more not to mention I have ongoing projects that my hands are really full right now. Some projects need a lot of work and are due by next month so I really have to plan wisely on how to use my time. Plus I don’t want to spend over time at work especially on weekends because I want it to spend with my family. Wish me luck!

Car Insurance

My sister will be renewing her car insurance this month. I think she will stick to her insurance provider since it gives good service and cheap car insurance. She was really happy with their services especially when we were hit by Ondoy. The insurance company acted right away and she was able to claim for the expenses she incurred in repairing the car.

Elections

As you know, there will be an election here in our country by May and everybody’s busy campaigning. Last Friday, the campaign for local elections has started and you can see people having their own gimmicks and giveaways such as promotional hand sanitizers to let voters remember their name when they vote. I just hope that these politicians will be true to their promises in case they get elected.
