Cookie Favors for Me!

Sunday, May 10, 2009


Mother's day is here and obviously you can probably see that in my recent posts I have not given my Mom a gift for the occasion. I am still in the process of getting her one that could remind her of me whenever she uses it. Where do I start? What should I get for her next? The list goes on and on but I have not made my mind yet. It is kind of late, but I don't think that would be a problem. It's the thought that counts!

She is one good swimmer. When I was a kid, I was often ridiculed because I never learned how to swim. Well I never did, but she was the persistent one who told me I could always do it. That kept me going until I was too big to even mind to swim, because I can easily stand on a 6 feet pool as I outgrew it. I still often see my mom taking baths every now and then and she uses beach towels most of the time. It is a little big for her since she is the smallest in the family at 5'4 I guess. I was thinking of getting her personalized bath wraps so she could fit in it rather than carrying a large one outdoors. Not only would that be fashionable but really functional for her.

If that does not work, then I could get her die cut stickers since she likes scrap booking. She is the one who also organized our family pictures and put a lot of other stickers on it. I like what it looks like now but she keeps reminding me to print out other pictures which I already have uploaded on my website. That would just be a waste of ink on my printer so I am taking it slowly when it comes to that. I think that would also really match what I need as a gift. I used to collect stickers when I was a kid and if she remembers the time I put them all over the house then she would also remember me. That would be nice.


She also loves to cook and would like to put up a business. Maybe if we sell cakes and cookie favors again she would remember the time I helped her bake. That was like therapy for me who had a self diagnosed ADHD. I really love to cook until now, so most probably if she does bake a lot of those chocolate chip cookies again it would just go to me. I think I am the only one who loves sweets in the house. I hope I do not develop diabetes like they did. I do not have any choice since I will be getting them from both sides of the family. The cookies would definitely be just for me! I would like that more! Ha-ha!

What did you get your Mom this Mothers Day?

Happy Mothers Day!


This one is for my Mom! ^_^

I spent the weekend with the my most loved person in the world.... my Mom. It might sound corny to some of you but I don't mind, for me she's the best person in the world. I would do anything for her, because I literally and figuratively owe her my life.

She makes me feel brand new when I am being over used by everybody else in this world. My brother just got her a package for a spa weekend. I bought an 18 inch pizza and a couple of boxes of pasta and drinks to go with that. I also gave her a couple of thousand bucks. I still believe I did not give her too much, I even think I have not re paid her for anything she has done for me. I am planning to do so, but that would just take a lot of time and planning because I have not given up my vacations yet in the office Ha-ha! Sometimes I want to shoot myself so I'd get paralyzed and take a few days off so I can spend more time with her. I wonder if I can make arrangements for a trip late this year. I'll definitely try that!


I wish my Mom a very Happy Mothers Day! And hope you give your Moms a hug before you sleep. Let her know how much you love her!

PC Tools That Need You

Saturday, May 09, 2009




PC Tools Together is a community that would help in the interface translation of the popular anti-virus software THREATFIRE. This is a huge initiative from people around the world to have this free software improve itself and have different language packs for ease of use. I know I have not used this one yet, but just by reading the facts on it website and the comparison it did from other branded and paid ones. This is extremely going to be a better choice for people that could not afford subscription enabled ones. With the viruses taking shape and new form around the world, this maybe the only one that can catch up with it.

We can all contribute to this cause by just joining their community and see where we can help. I was impressed to see that they have already translated a lot in Turkish. I wonder if I could suggest to have this translated to Filipino or TAGALOG. That would be nice for people in the South East Asian region. I know we have a very high English speaking rate in the Philippines but like major websites like Google or Microsoft it would be nice to have them in the native language so we all would have a choice. I try to be the best linguist for all my friends, so I will try my luck so they could do it in our national language. I understand that I would need to request for it first in their forums, but I do not think they would shy away from someone who would just want to help. I posted this so you guys can do it too. This is for a very good cause anyway! You can do your part to save the world because there is a BETA program that you can join here. So be smart and do the right thing now!

One Good Sunday

This Sunday I will be trying my luck not to get too tired because I will be having a party over at a friend's house in Laguna. Judging from the looks of it, I have to make an effort to at least not pass out since I am going back to QC later in the evening so I could work. Yeah I know how it feels to be in the office at Sunday evening, it's just going to be a big tiring day since Laguna is hours away from Quezon City. Aside from that, I would need a couple of things done at work for reports and all. I guess I am thinking of a way to analyze most of the data I send to the US office so it would be better taking a look at it when Managers from that end read it. I am not going to do something major but I would like to make whatever I do more attractive and important. I guess it is just me.

Oh by the way I would like to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Bernal for having a cute and cuddly baby girl. With the things we have been doing in college, it is pretty much automatic we are going to be part of each others lives. Her Christening is going to be this Sunday (main reason to go to Laguna). I hope I get to have one of my own sometime soon too. Here's a photo of her:

Cute kid! ^_^

Again, congratulations Pare! Sana dumami pa yan hehe!
