Noong bata pa ako gusto ko maging sterwardess kasi gusto kung makita ang world. Sa kasamaang palad ako ay di hamak na 5'2" lang at hindi pa 20/20 ang vision ko.

Resume ni Inday Part Deux
Gusto ko din maging bank teller kasi uupo lang papa cute at magbibilang ng napakaraming pera. Pero waley ni isa dyan ang future ko.
Mga 3 months akong tumambay sa bahay before naka-kita ng work after graduation. Mga ka-klase ko bonggang bongga na ang mga trabaho meron pa ngang iba pinadala na sa ibang bansa. Inggit to the max ang bruha. Kasi naman isa ako sa pinaka bottom student sa block namin, pramis ang tatalino nila mga genius. Ang grades ko ay average lang at nabagsak ko pa ang isang subject. Sila hindi pa nga naka graduate may work na, ako nga-nga.
Hindi ko rin feel ang course ko dahil jirap na jirap akong ipasa ang mga subjects. Pero pinandigan at tinapos ko. Hindi ko feel ang mga programming subjects namin dahil di ko gets agad-agad.
Apply lang ng apply ng kahit anong work para more chances of winning. Muntik na nga ako maging data encoder sa isang Manufacturing Company. Pero at last may nadali ako at na hire ako as "Load Planning Specialist" for Cathay Pacific. Oo diba, ang bongga lang ng name. Immediately, pinadala kami sa Manila (NAIA) for training. First time ko na pumunta sa Manila at tandang tanda ko na nag boarding haus kami sa Valley One, Paranaque (pronounced as Baley wan by tricycle drivers). Probinsyana ang beauty na nakasalta ng Manila. First time kung mag-isa, i-spoiled ang lola mo at di sanay sa gawaing bahay. Walang ka muwang muwang sa totoong mundo. Hindi ako marunong maglaba at magluto. Ang hirap palang by hand ang labada! Nung tinamad ako binabad ko na lang at inikot-ikot na parang washing machine.
Iba pa lang pag mag-isa ka at walang parents na nag mo-monitor. FREEEDDDOOOOMMM! Naranasan kung mag tiangge sa Baclaran at mag commute sa MRT/LRT. Enjoy ang mga weeks na yun dahil nagpasyal kami sa Enchanted Kingdom with college classmate, nakapasok ako ng ibang-ibang eroplano from different airlines (i.e. Royal Brunei, Continental) at natuto akong mag house work konti.
3x a week lang ang flights ng Cathay Pacific dati and minsan gabi ang hours. Kung walang flight, kape-kape, chika galore at mag board games. Di ko na matandaan ang name nya pero may isa akong ka officemate na libre ng libre sa 'kin ng kape at pagkain. Kung sino ka man salamat!
Dito ako first na-lashing at naging pasaway. Gala dito, gala doon at umuwi ng dis oras ng gabi. Pero subalit, dapatwat, di rin ako nag tagal dahil feeling ko lang walang future ang aking career.
Na-bored ako at dahil na rin ambisyosa ako at nag try akong mag apply as Software Validation Engineer sa Lear in short Tester. Di ako magaling sa interviews hanggang ngayon na blo-block out ako at minsan walang sense ang aking sinasabi. Pero dahil pinalabas ko ang aking mega-watt smile natangap ako.
...... abangan ang susunod na kabanata

Ok I was tagged by Lany. I don't usually do this but since I have so much time in my hands, I'll allow myself to be tagged.
instructions: name 10 of lifes simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick 10 people to do the same. try to be original and creative, and not to use things someone else has already used
1. Drinking a cup of steaming Coffee - of course this should be number 1 on my list. If you know me, you know I have a love and hate relationship with coffee. I tried killing this addiction and I ended up deprived that I drunk more than my usual share. For me coffee isn't coffee if it's not hot. My all-time favorite drink, cafe latte.
-- not in order--
2. Chocolates - especially my faves Kisses, Gabo, Kisses, Ferrero (the center must be melted) and my new favorite Lindt. I had my first taste of Lindt in singapore, I bought this one as pasalubong, but one taste and I was near orgasm so I golfed it all down, savoring every bits and pieces. I'd prefer this to sex anytime! LOL! kidding :P
3. being able to eat breakfast meals - same ta Lan. I don't know what's with breakfast meals that I am so fascinated with. Last month, I slept with Sausage McMuffin on my mind and I prepared my morning rituals in a rush just so I can get my breakfast mcmuffin. I sleep and come to the office really late, since breakfast meals are available up to 10 am only, its rare that I can buy myself one. So there you go, that must be the reason why I am so fascinated with these meals.
4. Being called and txted by Yiek asking where I am - who wouldn't like to be missed. huh?
5. Receiving corny jokes through email or txt - when the day seem dreary it can really make my day.
6. Receiving comments here on my blog - because it would mean that someone is reading my nonsense entries.
7. Being able to wake-up late on weekends - I always feel that I'm sleep deprived so I really love weekends because I have the luxury to wake up when I want to.
8. Being able to sneeze when I've been trying so hard - you know the feeling.
..errr utang muna. I can't think of the last 2 joys. will continue this when I get my mojo back.
I am tagging, georgia, lizette, nats, ria and anyone bored out there.

Finances by Inday
This is not my usual entry.
This year I want
to take control of our finances and manage it right. We've been
spending too much last year that I thought we'd lie low this year to
save a bit for the rainy days.
Please note
that I've always been a thrifty person so this comes naturally to me. I
am going to enumerate some tips that I have been doing
1. I never think of "future money", if I buy something even by credit card I make sure that I have money in our bank to pay for it. "Bibilhin ko to kasi swe-sweldo ako this 15 at meron akong bonus next month" is no-no to me.
2. I always pay off our credit card in full
(according to statement balance) because interest rates will bite me big
time.(excluding 0% interest for x years purchases)
3. I
keep multiple credit cards depending on the cash back. I play the credit
card game and have amassed a lot of points. 20% of our cruise expense
last year was paid by my credit card points. Hotel stays were all
completely paid by points.
4. Since I am into shopping online, I make sure I get cashback from my purchases. Hello Ebates and credit card cash back deals.
5.
If possible I don't pay full price so I always have a coupon in hand.
When I go to a shop, I pull up coupons I can use via my mobile phone.
6. Because I hate paying $$$, I am not brand conscious. Kevs lang ganoin.
7.
I know the bottom prices when doing groceries. I know that 1.89/lb for
chicken and 1.69/lb for pork loin is cheap, when I see these prices I
buy in bulk and freeze them. If the price is $2 higher that the bottom
price, I don't buy them and wait until it gets to that price again.
8.
Automatic deduction can do wonders to one's budget, right now I've set
401k, 529 college plan and Dependent care fsa to auto deduct. Not only
do I have to work with what's left of our salary, it also
decreases our tax rate. Win-win.
9. Yes, we do eat out a
lot but I use groupon, livingsocial and coupon books to save. We rarely
do appetizers, drinks and desserts. I have a set budget for each dine
out.
In the future I plan to
1.
live off with only 1 salary. This was what we did pre-kids and would
want to do this again especially now that daycare expense will soon be
gone.
2. Eat less outside and cook more or let Sir cook
more *cough*. I've never been a good cook, I can bake but can't for
the life of me cook decent ulam everyday. If I were the one cooking I
would always end up cooking spam, hotdog and instant noodles.
3. Max out our 401k
That's it pancit. It's already 12:52 am and it's time for my beauty sleep.
Sayonara 2015, Hola 2016
Anong ginawa ni Inday sa 2015.
"Umuwi sa pinas January at nag swiper no swiping ng credit card, nag bakasyon engrande sa isang malaking barko at pumunta ng Caribbean, pumunta sa beach at lumangoy sa putik para makahanap ng mussels (bibigay ko kay Sir para lalaki ang kanyang biceps), pumunta ng napakaraming theme park and at nag party party party."
Excited na ako sa 2016 kasa ramdam kung maraming kaganapan this year. Year of the monkey ang 2016 at ito nga year na year ko na siya dahil mahilig ako sa monkey business. Pak! Ganern! Swak na swak sa banga.
Ayon sa chinese horoscope ma swerte daw ako financially this year. Yayaman na ako woohhoo!!! Bibili na ako ng maraming kuskus at i match sa number ticket para more chances of winning.
Pero parang totoo nga kasi 1st week ng January ay naka tangap ako ng good news. With a new appraisal by lender pwede na daw mawala ang PMI namin. Yes! extra savings. Malapit na rin matupad ang aking "Body by Dr. Belo".
Pangalawa, mag ki-kinder na si Zaia (Wer iz my baby na?) so wala na kaming daycare expense starting July/August. $xx,xxx ang daycare dito so super happy si Inday at masimulan na rin ang college fund.
Pangatlo ay secret! Akin lang muna yun...
Maraming life events ang 2016.
- 1st Communion ni Caleb
- Kindergarten na si Zaia (finally! na miss nya ang cut off last year by 22 days)
- magiging slim si Inday, goal ay 105 lbs *Ha ha ha katawa*
At ayun na nga naubusan na ako ng i-susulat. 'Til next entry mag buwis buhay muna ako para sa ikaka-unlad ng ekonomiya.
