Chasen Dreams

Hey! I’m back…not yet to my old self but I’m getting there.  The past weeks were hellish.  Thank goodness I survived.  I may still encounter “post mistake consequences”  (mistake which I did not commit) but I don’t want to think about it.    I’m tired of thinking and worrying.  Anyway, why do I need to worry when I can pray?     As of the moment, I just want to focus on what is good and positive.   Please find below the reasons why despite of what had happened, I still feel blessed. 1.        I know God is always  with me.    2.        I have a  family.  Papa and Mama are  brave and strong and prayerful.  3.        I have friends.  They may not know what I’ve been going through but I feel their support and concern. 4.        I have understanding off...

Goodbye Nonoy! Auntie Chasen will terribly miss you!!!

Everyday’s a cheat day.  I’m kidding.  I was not able to resist my officemates' invite.  Self control, what happened to you?  Anyhow, I’ll compensate on the succeeding days.  I do regret having lunch with them.  Okay, I admit, I don’t.  Look at the pictures below and you’ll get the picture! I want to mention that I went to the restaurant only with a hungry tummy.  I really love  “galit sa pera” friends! Lol I ordered lasagna.  The serving is hefty.  It can actually feed two famished tummies. Pork Siomai.   This is good.  I did not taste the extenders. Puto Pao.  Nathaniel’s is known for their puto pao.  For me, it’s a so-so.    Buco Pandan. Sinful! Runel  and Atty Mitch had Pancit Palabok.  The serving is huge too. Having tasted their chow, I do recommend Nathaniel’s. They offer hefty and delicious meals that will not hurt your wallet. ...

Okay, you are sad and devastated.  You want to be happy so, you want to grab chocolate bars or  you want to munch a bag of chips in one sitting.  Every bite is bliss. You forget the blues as you masticate the so-called comfort food.     That is happiness in the short term.   After you consume it, you go back to being lonely.  The eating gives rise to weight gain, insecurities and aggravated sadness.  Malungkot na nga, mataba pa!  How excruciating is that? To prevent yourself from emotional eating,  you may want to try any of the following: 1.         Go to water spa.   Loosen up and swim away  your pain and sadness.    2.        Get a body scrub and a relaxing  massage.  3.        Visit a  salon.  Have a new hair cut or have your hair treated.  Have your nails done....

You are strong. You are brave.  God is with you. Now, put on the red lippie!!!

Facts: Spouses Victor Ma. Gaston and Lydia Gaston, the private respondents, filed a complaint for damages with preliminary   injunction/preliminary mandatory injunction and temporary restraining order before the Regional Trial Court against petitioners Sta Clara Homeowners Association (SCHA).   The complaint alleged that the private respondents purchased their lots in Sta. Clara Subdivision and at the time of the purchase, there was no mention or requirement of membership in any homeowners’ association.      From that time on, they have remained non-members of the SCHA.     They also stated   that an arrangement was made wherein homeowners who   were non-members of the association were issued non-member gate pass stickers for their vehicles for identification by the security guards manning the subdivision’s entrances and exits.   This arrangement remained undisturbed until sometime   in the middle of March 1998, when SCH...

Last week was one helluva week for me.  I cried a river but  I opt not to disclose the details.  The important thing is…I’m good and invincible!  The week was wrapped up by the shocking defeat of Pacman.  Oh yeah…I’m a boxing fan and I’m so disgusted by the result.  Crap! It was an obvious robbery!    I’m no boxing expert but my boylet and I have a score card.   We scored conservatively.  We gave Bradley the five close rounds and we gave Pacquiao the seven rounds which we thought he flat out won.  What happened? We all know what happened unless we were born yesterday.  But since the decision is final and unappealable,  the only remedy  left is to  accept…uhmmm… the existence of greedy millionaires! (lol) There are really matters which are unappealable…matters  which need to be acknowledged.  But there are those which call for remedies.    An example of the latter is my plu...
