It’s been a month since I stopped working and I’ve been staying at home most of the time except weekends. I’ll be back for work on June in Preschool.

No income at all, only household income according to my sister since I’m doing a lot of household chores from cleaning; laundry; interior; and my most favorite… cooking.. sarap.. soups, pesto, panna cotta, and a lot more, so is eating as well. Kaya naman, I need to lose those excess calories intake and meron solution dyan.

Last April 18, I joined the NatGeo run for 5K and it was fun. I thought I would not be able to do it pero nakaya khit unang sabak… Super sarap ng feeling.. Now, me and my nieces are jogging 3 times a week.. We run for at least 1 hour continously until our shirts are wet and our faces become so red. Since I’m into running now, I will run 5K again on Filipino Star Ngayon event and then 10K is my next goal on Nature Valley run for a cause. Adik ng tumakbo..kaya excited na ko.

I know pagdating ng June, everyone will become busier again kaya habang vacation.. enjoy enjoy lng… I’m still thinking about my MA… I hope I could enroll this time. Yesterday, I met some of my HS friends.. most of them are married already and have children, and of course, they didn’t forget to ask the question "Why are you not getting married? Mag- asawa ka na…" I was thinking… am I too old?? or they were too young when they got married. Hahaha… sabi ko nga, "OO magpapakasal din naman ako… wait lng kayo ah…" kaya sa mga katulad ko na malapit na sa last number ng calendar.. don’t worry.. artistahin tayo… it will be just a surprise… ska no need to hurry as long na meron naman plans and very good ang relationship no worries.

For now, run the good race….

Life is short so make it all yours

Have fun with family and friends

Try the craziest and scariest

Go to some never been before places

To bring out the happiest moments.

Run run run run… ellen runn…

Living healthy

Still Alive

It has been years… my mind has been lethargic for this so called blogging until a coffee session with my boyfriend and some of our friends awaken my passion to write again. They didn’t actually know that I’ve been a blogger way way back before this so called blogs become ubiquitous on the net; poet on my own and frustrated novelist. Now, consider me a netizen but I really don’t write like before though I’m still a reader but so little to put my thoughts into writing nowadays. I guess, I couldn’t say I didn’t have time because if you are bound to do something, you make your own time. No matter how busy I would be if I really want to blog, I could still do it but that didn’t happen. Hahahahhaa.. I enjoyed my life but I really miss my spaces… I didn’t care if anyone would read my pieces because I write not to please anyone, I write because that’s my passion and if anyone could benefit from that in anyway, well then, that’s good. Hahahaha..

I don’t know if I could still make beautiful lines.. but still hoping, it would just spark anytime. I really miss Piece16 because so busy with FB. Now, let’s see if there would be next to this.

Still a daysleeper ^+^

Time is fast like a wink, like an inhale of breath
I never noticed what is happening that I am still fast walking
Every morning of daydreaming, my eyes are well smiling

I have a blue sky above and fresh scent of green grass
Here in paradise, I will stop a while.

The Five Love Languages of Children

ellenlugay — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:05:52 +0000

According to the authors, each child expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. A parent’s love language may be totally different from that of his or her child, which causes hurt feelings and misunderstandings. With the help of this book, adults can discover their child’s primary language and learn what they can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in their child’s emotions and behavior.

http://www.amazon.com/Five-Love-Languages-Children/dp/1881273652#

January 30, 2009 when I dropped by in Powerbooks, Megamall and while browsing for some good books, this book simply captured my attention. I was taking my Assessment subject then so when I flipped over the pages I knew that this book will be one of my serendipitous purchases, just like when my friend Marv told me to choose one book and he’ll pay for it, I immediately walked through the halls of shelves in National Bookstore, Ermita until I saw the Multiple Intelligences of Dr. Howard Gardner and just by reading the title I knew that was the book of my choice then. Definitely not my genre that time but I want something very informative so I told myself why not? The book I possessed five years ago just paid off now because it became one of the core foundations in me as a future educator.

Now, another one great book to recommend for everyone; The Five Love Languages of Children, I just loved this book so much… believe me if you are a parent, you need to read this one. Love is the manifestation of God’s grace to us, unmerited favor, communicated in the life of Christ and written in the Holy Bible. The purpose of this book is for us to better understand the child and the love language/s he mostly used to convey to us teachers, parents, guardian and anyone who is looking after a child. What is love language anyway? It is usually what the child answers when he is asked, “Does your parent love you? How?” as illustrated in this book.

These are the five love languages of children:

Physical Touch

Words of Affirmation

Gift

Quality Time

Acts of Service

Every child has a primary love language to communicate his affection to his parents, siblings, or even the people who surrounds him. It is very essential to every parent to know that language so the child’s emotional tank will be filled from time to time. The 5 love languages may be present at a particular time and stages of growth of children but there will be a primary love language that will outstand the rest.

I love this book so much because I have came to know my primary love language. Mine is “Words of Affirmation” that is why I hate people who are inevitably liars and I get devastated to some broken promises.

Loving our children isn’t always enough. Learning to speak their love language communicates your love in ways they’ll understand right from the start.

Unconditional love is something all children can understand. And The Five Love Languages of Children can help you make your child feel secure, loved and more willing and open to interact with you and your family.

Three’s

ellenlugay — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 02:14:42 +0000

I got three wishes

I wish to disappear for one day.

I wish to be a child again.

I wish to stop the time.

I got three questions

What….?

How come…?

Why…?

I got three cheers

Yes, Yes. I can…

You have it innately…

I love you!

I got three whispers

Shhhhss…be patient

Relax, rest and read

You are blessed, remember that!

I got three sighs…

Sheeshh… Argghhh..

Highhhh…

Tsk tsk tsk…

Three realizations…

It’s hard to lose weight

When you are near thirty’s

The more you get used to it

The better you understand it

I hate to be smoked then…

I still hate it now and will never get used to it….

End of Life… rumors about it did not surprise me because it is possible to any account especially when the North America CS has been pulled out late last year. However, we heard assurances from our boss’s that we are pretty secured here in APAC. The fact that we are meeting our stats, and even exceeded it most of the time… I did not bother to have the thoughts to linger on. I just have confidence that we are doing good so continue to be a buzzing bee from Monday thru Friday.

Well, just last week, we were all surprised when the boss’s had a meeting and the leakage of information spread out so fast to us. Yeah, it is now confirmed that the client will transfer to TP. The rumors, thoughts, speculations have finally brought us to the FACT that we all have to face and accept. Despite of our golden tickets we earned from our CSAT’s campaign, the service level that have been worked out everyday, the transactions per hour we accomplished, the AHT that never became a problem. Those do not matter in any way now, it all boiled down to one cause, RECESSION.

15 days before my birthday is our last day here in Adobe APAC. What a great gift to me celebrating my 30^th years of existence. I want to stay until that day because I have came to love this account for more than a year now. I had my own world here in my corner.. . Gosh I will surely miss a lot of things in this account. So much of it to enumerate but I still want to list it down:

- my own desktop and pedestal

- morning breakfast in my station

- signed in to winlive messenger the whole shift

- the morning showbiz buzz from Billie or Ampee

- loud and harsh words of Yenz

- Yenz and Billie’s endless arguments

- Billie’s loud singing voice (not so good to listen to… peace)

- Ampee’s dabog syndrome

- Tina’s hopia treat and Binondo trip

- Margie’s barging in and lively greeting

- Our fish events… I’m gonna miss this so much

- rumors and issues within and outside our corners

- the “ate” tag line

- strict guards… I hate one of them… =#

- crocs eating galore pasyal especially when payday

- Ampee’s panic stricken syndrome for urgent cases

- Billie’s PACSALES tag line

- Ministop and 7/11 and the Outback bangsilog and etc

- FOC’sssss

- Gelo’s F for Flower and I’m so sorry tagline

- Danna’s fashion trends

- Adobe Media and CIB (ay meron pa kong di nasosoli)

- Serial Number requests and escalations

- Call Master’s Aux (siyet… di pwede over break saying HB)

- Tissue mania (kuha na ng marami)

- Garet’s peanut bar (pabili ulit!)

- Chinese tikoy…

- Kat’s avon, dakki, (dakilang rekerista)

- At walang kasawa sawang tsismisan at maraming iba.. superb!

Shall I make a plan now? Well, I really don’t know yet… As much as I wanted to stay after the last day and transfer to another account… the thought of it really hassles me. For sure, my MA will be compromised if I proceeded with that… which I really don’t want to happen. Arggh…. Shall I be teacher this SY 2010-2011? That sounds good enough! I know soon I’ll pursue that career but I hope that I am all geared up before I start though I already finished my 18 units by that time. It would not provide me much in terms of remuneration but I can manage to survive for the meantime until I am able to put up my own school… (whoa… dream big, this is going to happen.. )

My annual tours… Oh… most probably this will be postponed or cancelled… Huhuhu.. I’ll still find ways then.

For now… I’ll take one day at a time and appreciate everything around this floor even the ones or the things unpleasant sometimes…

Light up Ellen

ellenlugay — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 01:02:21 +0000

I feel like saying sorry for my site… I have become so lethargic…for the past year… been busy in school most of the time. The passion has wilted and I’m having hard time to light it up again, though I am taking time to revive myself …

My fingers were tied and eyes have been shot.

Thoughts have wandered in some valley of dreams

And who would have thought that this would be my path?

In the eyes of the children I find real joy.

Ellen =)
