Did you know?

I will share with you the facts about my blogging career.

Did you know that..

1. I will be 7 year old blogger in December!

Oh yes. It's my blog's birthday on December 4! I started blogging way back 2004, using "Tagalog" language and ranting about my high school life (that's basically about my love life and school life). Being a blogger that long teaches me how to express my feelings more and be open to share my experience to inspire others or learn from me.

2. My English writing skills became better because of blogging!

I took the challenge to use pure "English" as much as possible when blogging. It's a win-win situation actually because it really enhanced my writing skills when making documentations (in school in the past and now in the office world) and of course, visitors from other countries can understand me.

3. I am living with what my blog name means!

"ilabmyself" < that's the name of this blog. "lab" is love in different spelling but same meaning. Basically, I was so vain high school girl (actually until now), which makes me love myself more and more! It was a good thing because I was able to share that amount of love to the people around me. And that also makes me love my boyfriend right now. It's true, love yourself first before you can love others.

4. Blogger.com changed for the better!

Being a user in blogger.com, I know how this evolve over time. Way back, I have to choose a blog design from blogskins.com but right now, I am using a design from here! Also it is easy to attach pictures and videos. I don't have to use Photobucket to host it! Very good, blogger.com

Time really flies. It changes. I change and so do you.

All change as it is the only permanent thing in the world.

We should accept it because that's our chance to be better.

I am thankful I am a blogger. How about you?:)


PS: Happy 11/11/11 day today! I guess, there are many weddings right now!

Life is Awesome!

Events happening in my life are very dear to me.
Those moments wherein I cherished, I keep in my heart.

Whether I'm with my family, or with my coworkers or friends, it's all worth it.
It's all awesome!

September 18: Happy Birthday Tito Rollie!

My family went to Alabang Festival Mall for my uncle's birthday! It was so warm that we all felt the love among the siblings (of my father). There's so much drama because they reminisced their childhood and I learned some tips to them: Love one another and respect each other.

September 21: SisDate

This is unexpected. I was sad this day because my prior bonding was postponed and then out of nowhere, my sister texted me where I am. I told her, I'm on my home and I'm sad. Then she asked me lets eat out. My reply? "Pasayahin mo ako!" (Make me happy!).

So we met at SM North and ate at Pizza hut. I was so full! It was a simple and intimate date with my big sister. I love it!

I went home happy!:)

September 24: Wilvor's Treat

My group wayback in college called "Team Balance" have this bonding moment. Each one of us will treat all per month. For this month, it's Wil's turn. Unfortunately, some cannot make it so we were just three. We ate at Pollo Loco, Megamall. Thanks Wil!:)

October 11: HPlicious Bonding

This was also one of those unplanned bonding moments: the treat of Hazel and myself to my colleagues (April new hires). We went to Market, Market and treated them a movie: Johnny English.                                                                          

October 19: Donat's Treat

So it's Dona's treat for October. Atleast now, we were many, we're 5! We ate at Greenwich, SM Manila, her treat! Yey! As you can see, we were just four there because Wil was late! LOL! Then we watched "No other Woman" last full showing!

Whew. Going back to Manila is like going to my college days!;)

October 21: U|X Coffeetalk Happy Halloween

We designed the room for the event. It was one of the talks in the office where I got inspiration for the awardees and ofcourse, I was happy to see folks around. And I remembered that this was the day where I was almost in the office the whole day! How's that!:p 

October 26: Last weekly meeting with Kristel

Kristel was my first manager. There was a leadership change so we had a change of manager. It was like her  goodbye to us. She treated us Amber's Spaghetti, BBQ and pichi-pichi. So full on the tummy and of smiles. :)

October 29: Happy Birthday Aziel!

Aziel is the youngest brother of my boyfriend. I had work at 3pm this day but I went to SM Sta. Mesa for the treat of Levi to his brother. It was a movie treat! We watched "Praybeyt Benjamin"! It was funny and has a story like Mulan so all can learn a lesson from it. And of course, I was late in the office! haha!:p :(

October 30: Happy Birthday Tita Brenda!

I had work on a Saturday up to 12am but I was able to attend this event in a Sunday. My dad together with his 3 lovely daughters (including me haha) went to Cavite to visit my Lola's grave and to celebrate my auntie's birthday. It was touching. 

November 3: Kristel's Despedida

So here's the moment of giving back. We were all out for this despedida of our manager. I was the gamemaster for the "Just Draw it" that became "Just move it!" haha! There was a video presentation where we gave thank you message for Kristel and a caricature gift for her. Of course, there were foods: Palabok, Ice cream and a Conti's chocolate cake. 

November 7-8: Happy Birthday DADDY!!

It was my Daddy's birthday today! Greet him! Happy birthday to my loving and cute daddy! We celebrated his birthday yesterday. I was assigned for the pizza (veggie pizza). There were a lot of foods. As in! his cake was a Parvati carrot cake! We love you daddy!!

Are you overload? It was a jump packed post and pictures! It was funny because most of my rest days were actually "gala" days or "eating" days! I love it! Thank you God!:)

Enjoy life to the fullest! :]

Something new.

Have you noticed anything?
Oh yes, my blog has been redesigned. Thanks to the new features of Blogger.com.
I chose the orange background because it is my second fave color (pink is my number 1 btw) and I love the spiral, it's flowing like me.

As you can see, I written, "Speak my mind. Things to unwind. Stories to remind."
That's basically the reasons why I am still blogging my personal stuffs.
Even if I am not updating that often, if I want to say something relevant about my life, I speak it up. If I am emotionally drained, I blog for me to reminisce it all in the future.

I have this project way back. I want to print all my blogposts and compile it. I want a collection of all my stories. Sadly, when I started it, I didn't able to continue.. But now, I am thinking of bringing it back. I want to conceptualize something creative for it. Watch out.

Watch out for more!

Love myself. Love yourself. Love, love, love!:)
