Red is Marose

Can you feel the heat? Though summer is about to end, it is still hot here in the Philippines. Yesterday morning it rained but it was just a quick rain and the result it was even hotter in the afternoon and night. This heat makes me dream of spending a vacation in countries that has winter season, like Finland or Canada. I can just imagine wearing winter clothes, enjoying the snow, sipping hot coffee or hot choco, and trying to make myself warm over a fireplace. Since, we live in a tropical country; we don’t have any fireplace here that can make our home more beautiful and stylish. But do you know that outdoor fireplaces, can add style for our backyard or garden? Maybe, if I have my own home with a space for garden, I try adding an outdoor fireplace.

My son likes playing a lot. It can be playing cellphone games, Playstation 2 games or computer games. Though, he spend lots of time inside the house, he also likes playing outside. Like running, hide & seek or he would just bring out his toys and play with his friends. He also likes to have a trip at Toy Kingdom, he would just enjoy looking and holding those toys, his favorite are super hero toys, like batman, iron man, superman, etc. He won’t demand me to buy him what he wants instead, he would ask me, “Mommy, when we have extra money, can you buy me this one?” Of course, I would definitely buy him another toy when I have an extra money. I just can’t resist that sweet smile of him.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That’s why it is called the present.”

After long years of not buying cosmo or fhm magazine, last week I asked my husband to buy this:

I just need to have this issue because Angel is in the cover. Haha. Can’t miss it.

I can’t help it. When I saw the google logo just now, I immediately printed the screen and cut the logo to be uploaded here.

I remember playing this game. It was fun eating all those dots while avoiding to be eaten by those colored enemies. And when pacman eats the big dots these enemies would ran so fast. hahaha.

After finishing a program at one of the residential drug and alcohol treatment centers, you may be wondering if you can really stay clean now that you’ve left. If you’re truly dedicated to staying clean, it is possible to be successful, but it will take a lot of hard work and dedication. But most importantly, it will take time.

You might compare it to losing someone you love to death. When the person first dies, it’s hard to imagine life without that person, but as time goes on, it becomes easier and easier. It’s the same with drugs and alcohol, and with every day that passes, the temptation will be less pronounced. Here are some tips to staying clean now that you’re back in the real world:

Get the Support of Friends and Family

The first thing you should do is inform friends and family that you plan to stay clean. They will help be a support to you as you make the transition. Also inform them that you do not want to be around drugs or alcohol. If your vice is alcohol, don’t keep it in your house and don’t go out with friends who plan on drinking. If they are truly your friends, they would not want to put you in a situation that would possibly cause you to relapse.

See Your Counselor Regularly

When you return home, you will be put with a counselor who can help you prevent a relapse. Talking with a counselor about what you’re feeling and what cravings you’re having will help. Your counselor can help you work through strategies you can use if you are feeling tempted by your vice. That advice will be invaluable as you work through your addiction.

Most importantly, the best advice out there is to never give up. You’re worth the effort, so never stop trying!

I have been working since I was 17 years old.  Yes, that time and I enjoyed working and meeting new friends.  I have never stopped working since that age, well, maybe except for about two weeks to one month when my contract would end and another time when I took a leave for almost two months because I gave birth. Working would be fun if you have close friends that’s why I really enjoyed my first job as a service crew at Jollibee because I met my best friends there.  The picture below was taken last February when we had our gimik after long, long years. The girl wearing blue is Jack, the girl beside me is Ana, and they are my best friends. Oh, I am the one wearing strips blouse.  Jim and Rean, the inseparable couple, the guy in between my best friends is Ron and the guy beside me is Jeff. Actually, there are a lot of people who wasn’t able to come for this reunion.

Right now, I am working in a not so popular call center, the picture below are my office mates.  The girl beside me is Janice, she is now in another company, next is Ms. Lanie, our accounting head, and still here with me, and last is Mai, a young stay at home mom to two beautiful daughters right now. I am a godmother to her youngest daughter, Chloe.
