What kind of spender are you?

So I took a quiz to know what kind of spender am I...
And the result is.... tenen... I'm a SMART SPENDER!
Really?? ;)

You’re a SMART SHOPPER!

You’re patient when it comes to shopping; you keep track of sale schedules, and you know when to buy and when to keep your credit card safely stowed away in your wallet. You have a knack for finding great deals, and your friends ask for your help with haggling. In fact, you can haggle your way through anything! But this doesn’t mean you don’t like the good stuff. You go for designer items every once in a while because you know you can afford to. And while your spending goes a little over your budget sometimes, you never lose any sleep because you know that you’re in great financial shape. Keep it up!



Wow! I love sales, promos, deals!
How about you? What kind of spender are you?

CHEERS to my 22 YEARS!:]

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday!
I will share to you how I spent my birthday celebration.

October 8: Chu's Date
Saturdays are my rest days but it is an exception for this day, I don't have work as exchange with working in the office last Sunday.
So I had pre-celebration with my sister Ate Jopai! We went first to SM North (ate chicken and takoyaki and bought a Body Shop White musk collection) then to Trinoma (bought Tomato watch, went to Medical city for my sis and bought make ups) then off to Robinsons Galleria (ate pizza, Bonchon chicken wings and Cerealicious, manicure/pedicure at Luxe Nail Lounge and walked around).

Oh yes. We went to 3 malls for eating and shopping! It was tiring and at the same time relaxing. I had really fun with my sister!:) Actually, I didn't realize the time when I'm with her! We are really close! We are not just sisters, we are bestfriends! Love you, chu!


October 9: Happy 22nd Birthday to me! [Added photos 10/17/2011]
Yey! I was greeted with my family and friends (personally, in cyberworld [FB & Twitter] and in text).
Thank you for the greetings!

I started my day by attending the Feast Pasig. I was blessed with the mass and I thanked the Lord for my wonderful and beautiful life! Then I was acknowledged by Daddy O (Feast Pasig builder) and greeted me too! I was blessed! It was so much fun!

Then as my siblings bought food for me at SM North, I went first to home since I invited close friends. Unfortunately, my college friends were not able to go but thankfully, Pikselot (my highschool barkada) were there! Thank you Pam, Mela and Jamie for attending! See you on the last week of October! *fingers crossed it will push through*

I had lots of foods! Thank you Mom and Dad! Our magic sing was on and we all sang our heart out.
Ofcourse, I've caught up with my friends. We played Pusoy dos!;)

I am also thankful with my gifts! My dad was the first one to give me gifts (perfume and white jacket) on Oct 8 then Levi, my love, surprised me! He called me and told me that his gift for me was in the house! I searched for it, and whoaaa! It was the pink shoes I really want to buy and he bought it for me!;) I'm so happy! Thanks honey! Then I had money gift from mom and sister, black bag from my brother, blue summer dress from Lysa (my bro's gf), planner from Mela and scarf from Jamie. Ofcourse, the foods are gifts! Pam forgot to give her gift (LOL)!

As my birthday is ending, it was 11PM already and Nhery went! HAHA! She's "very" late and had an overnight here in the house. We talked a lot before sleeping. So much fun and reminiscing!


THANKFUL & GRATEFUL
Thank you for my life! And I am very looking forward for my life ahead. I want to give life to my age.
I just don't want to breathe, I want to live more and more each day. :]

Thank you my Lord for creating me and my life. Thank you for everything, for my problems which give me learnings and for my blessings which make me grateful.


CHEERS! :*

APPRECIATED it now.

I just graduated last April 15 and I am having my first (and hopefully only) work right now.

When I was a student, my classmates and I always rant about having our reports and our teacher/professor won't teach us. Some actually said that they are just lazy teaching us. Half of myself is agreeing. 


When I was a student, groupings were common. We were always grouped in a team. One is a leader and the rest are the members. There were conflicts, bondings and a lot of realizations. 


When I was a student, I always took tests examinations and defenses. I was graded by my performance but more on my character. There were top and not so top students.


And the great thing is all of those experiences that I didn't appreciate in my schooling days are my weapons in this phase of my life where I am right now.


I am confident when speaking up in front of people in meetings. I just managed to face four managers for my presentation last September 29. I was teary eyed (and shocked about it) but I was able to deliver a "lively" (the adjective they used) report about myself, my performances and experiences.

I know how to handle different types of people, to be able blend with them and to be able to adapt on this new environment and processes.

Capacity and character are being graded just like in the school days. I know how to defend myself and my doings.


Indeed, "school is the training ground". When I first heard this, honestly, I didn't believe it.
But now, it is all happening. It is true. It was a training. It was a lesson learned and now I'm using it.

Thank you, St. James College of QC for the strong foundation. Thank you, Quezon City Science HS for believing in me and for making me feel special and that I was one of the best. Thank, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila for the life changing experiences.

And most of all, thank you to those teachers and professors who taught me. I know some of them won't remember my name but I am grateful in everything you taught me in school.



I appreciate it all now.
