Crafty Monday

Wow!..it's Monday again, this is the first day of the week and everybody quiet busy in our office here's what they are doing : some are chatting, gossiping, others walking, passing by in my office, and others just showing they are busy their office task but they are not. I don't say everybody do this, there is some of it are diligent to their work and really do the hard work here. 

Anyway, that's the life of an office worker you cannot expect them 100% doing their jobs. As for me i'm busy too! yes it is!...since i was transferred in my small office they get also my other loads, they left only the one i know but they didn't know by sending payroll online and releasing money. Through this, i have a lot of hours nothing to do that's why i decided to make a craft using the materials available in my office.

First, i practice to make a paper bag by using the scratch paper here in our office then i design it with my colored marker and a sign pen. At first i was hesitant to do it because i will always got a mistake then later on i find out i need to be careful in every details so that it will stand firmly and it looks good. Here's the outcome 

Another one i made a small paper bag, i use again the scratch paper and a glue to hold firmly the paper and print out a small spongebob pic to be my design.


I create also a clip bag with board, i design this for my niece kc's hairclip so that all her clip have a bag and hang it in the wall

The last one is a tissue roll carton, i make it as a pen holder this is also for my niece Rica.


Everything is a used materials and ready to throw in the trash can but i decided to re-invent all of the scratch.  If you have a scratch don't throw it instead reused it and use your imagination to make it useful again. I will teach you how to do it. Please visit my other blogs entitled It's all about tut.. i will post it there how to do my craft.

7. July


House Canvass ..I have a plan to get a housing loan somewhere in Tigatto Deca Homes Subdivision that's why i was scheduled by my friend to have a tripping on that area. But i realized the place is too far from the downtown and it's not applicable for us who have 1 Prep,1 in Gradeschool and 1 teen in Highschool. This is why i just take a pic on their houses in awhile then goes home.

8. August



My Father's Death Anniversary..Every August 1 we celebrated my father's death anniversary. Usually my family visited in the cemetery  and offer a prayer and flowers to him and place it to his tomb. Together with us is my Aunt Ester my fathers younger sister.

It's Positive!..i'm so happy when i've got the result of my pregnancy test. This is the most happiest feeling that i received this year. Oliver and I so overwhelmed when we've got a gift from God. The most unforgettable experience we received.  This month our baby is in 1 month old already and were so excited when we knew it. Nothing can compare the happiness can bring to an Angel to us.

9. September
My Ultrasound..This is my baby in my womb, i'm so excited and so happy when i saw it in the monitor. My doctor ask if it is my first time to have a baby and i say it yes and he said my OB-Gyne will be the one to explain to me about my ultrasound. On the other day i visited my OB and give to her my result and she explained to us that my baby has no heartbeat..i was so shocked! but she said we will wait because some have a heartbeat until 3 months. As we goes home while walking i'm so hurt and crying all the way,though i know Oliver too cried but he did not let me see he's crying.

I Lost my baby! :( On the 16th day of September is the most mournful day of my life. I've got miscarriage that's why i feel so depress, in grief and sadness wrapped around myself during that time. I really don't feel to continue my life because of what had happen. I lost my baby and it is so heartbreaking, I don't know what i'm gonna do.. this is the most crucial days for me. I did a lot to save my baby but i know it is God's plan, still his will be done.

I wasn't able to pass my sacrifices during my miscarriage when i heard a news about what happened to my office on the 17th day. Our boss decided abruptly to leave my office without any respect to ask permission to me. He just reprimand the people their to get all my things out in my office because our head in accounting, the bookkeeper and him also will be the one to used it. In that way, the action of my boss gives me another heartache, depression, grief.. i feel like i was dumped and step down my rights as an employee eventhough they made a small office outside for me. Because of that I've got sick, we call that in Cebuano language " BUGHAT " you will feel that your head is always aching,you cannot even touch or carry your head well if you will touch it it likes somebody pull my hair hard. I carried this sickness until first week of December.

10. October

Still in my mournful stage, sick and cannot even carry a bag or any light things because of my illness. Even to walk in just a step I'm having a hard time to do it. When i'm at bed i need someone to help me to carry my head up to sit down. And always have an assistance when i move like to eat and pee.

11. November

FAITH! We are tested how high our faith to the Lord because i'm not the only one got sick also my niece Rica, my Mom and KC. My heart feels that crumpled, squeeze like a fruit..it is very heartbreaking when you see all the people you love got sick. I'm so broke that time,i don't have work and no money to have a check up for them and to buy their medicine. All the sickness comes together and hit my family, that makes me to motivate that i need to be cured and be healthy again to save my family. That's why i started to have a rosary everyday, although i started my rosary last October but i seldom do it, i promise to myself i will do it everyday just to save my family in all troubles and crisis like this. I realized that God is always with us,no matter what happen we need to pray and have a strong faith to the Lord.

12. December

Back to work..I decided to back for work in this month eventhough i'm not totally ok, though my head is aching and cannot comb my hair still i pursue to back to work for i need it badly because of financial and emotional crisis i have been through. I'm thinking to pay all my debt during my miscarriage and to buy foods and medicine for my family that got sick.On that week i was surprised when my boss called me and said go to his office, he just ask me how i am now,why im at work though my 2 months leave not yet done i told him about our situation and after that without any hesitation he just announced that he's going to terminate me. I was so shocked of what i've heard i ask him why?what is my grounds?He said that my grounds are 1. I told my sister in Michigan not to help him to put up business in US and 2. I say againts him and the company which is not true because there is somebody here in the office who is mad at me and that's the management. I told him i did not say anything that is not the truth i just said what i have experience here and what is the truth, while saying that my tears falls down my cheek i feel hurt what he's done to me. He told me i will give you until February.

PARTY! despite of my downfall, i tried to overcome the bad things happen to me. On the 15th day of this month our Christmas Party happen, our theme for our party is a RED CARPET! i'm so excited on that day because i bought all the things i wear. I say to myself, i want to do it for myself to look good and feel good and erase all the negative people in my life. Before the party started, me and Oliver took  a picture outside the hall and followed together with my close colleague. The program started @ 7pm with an Opening prayer, Welcome Address by our boss and followed by indulging our foods then Christmas Carolling contest and Awarding and have a Disco with my close collegue. We end our party at exactly 11:00 o clock, the I.T guys invited us to join with them to have a bar hopping at Calle 5 infront of our office. We goes home at 2:00 o clock and Oliver got a little bit dipsy. The party is over and it's back to normal on the other day. We have so much fun! ^_^.

It's CHRISTMAS time!..yes!,falls every 25th of December everyone is waiting for Christmas because this is the day of giving and the most excited of it are the kids, they can't wait the clock move to 12 in the midnight because they have a lot of gifts to be open. Everybody is so happy because of the gifts given by their love ones, a lot of foods in our table, reunions of every family and friends and party everywhere! This is a time for a family having a get together,taking their Noche Buena and opening gifts in the middle of the night. Christmas Day is the birthday of our savior Almighty, this is a reminder to us that God Loves us that's why we need to give back his goodness to us at exactly 12:00 in the midnight, we sing Happy Birthday Papa Jesus! ^_^

How lucky i am to experience the rainy season of my life, and feel the warm of sunny days..still my faith to our Lord Almighty mold me as a tougher lady, a broadminded gal and an intelligent woman.Through this hardships, sentiments, happiness, grief and joyful moments makes me inspired to keep on kicking to the most fullness of life, keep dreaming and keep believing the things i can do and need to do. To continue give my Love to the people i care, to hone my talent that Jesus gave me, to become more patience in everything i do and pursue the venture i wish to do.
