Farmville Addiction

It started, one boring day. I was just trying to check my facebook account, then accepted an invitation to be neighbor in this game. As I was trying it, a friend come near and ask me what is this colorful game. So I told him that it is 'farmville'. He ask, if I could share the game, so I told that he had to have a facebook account so I could invite him. So he created one and then I sent him an invite. He invited someone else and then it began spreading. I have no idea that the game would spread like virus around the office. Everybody is talking about it. Everyone already have a facebook account. We are talking about farming or harvesting like we are real farmers. We even text one another telling when their crops are ready for harvest. Before farmville spread out, I only have 10 facebook friends, but I have more than 80 friends and still growing,

I even invited my former officemates, former schoolmates to play the game; and to my surprise they level up faster than I do. Well, I think this game is really addicting. I even heard my kids talking to their friends about this game.

During breaktime, there are only two things everybody is doing in our office one is eating, and the other one is playing FARMVILLE.

TRUST HIS HEART

I want to share this song that I love so much. It has been inspiring me ever since I first heard it. It had been my guide with the Ups and Downs of Working from my first work until now.

TRUST HIS HEART


All things work for our good
Though sometimes we don't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just don't see Him
Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry
He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

When you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

OUR OUTING

Our Most awaited company outing came true at last. It was my co-employees who really persuaded in making our outing possible. It started in planning, then asking for each employees financial contribution, then the selection of the place and time.
I thought it would be just one of our plans that just remained plans. But, one of our bosses came in the picture and help us not just financially but in almost everything. Moreover, he lend us his two cars; Honda V-tech and Toyota Fortuner and drive us all the way to Laiya.
It was really fun. We may have travelled for almost five hours, but we enjoy the ride, eating and stretching in each pit stops.First stop was at Shell in Libis, we bought some drinks and finger foods to eat in the car during the travel. Next stop was at Katrina's Canteen, where we ate Lomi.
It was already dark when we arrived at the beach. It was a nice place,very nice in deed considering our budget. Well, thanks to the two persons whom we sent to the area earlier, our supper is almost served! It was Grilled Liempo, Pusit, and Tilapia with Buko Salad, Banana & Mangoes for desert. We're not yet though eating our supper when the guys started their drinking session. They drunk and play games until early morning.
It was four in the morning when I walked out of our room to see that the guys are just starting to get in their room to take a little rest. Well, it's time for us, lass, to enjoy. We swam, walked by the sea, and have fun!
It was one of our bosses who cooked our food, our BRUNCH (Breakfast & Lunch together) consisting sea foods and fruits. After eating, there's videoke fun.Then, we rode a boat to do some sight-seeing. Laiya is a nice beach indeed. I did'nt realize it during the first time I went there, which was last year.

STRESSFREE WORK

Waking up early in the morning for work is not fun for everybody. But can you make your day lively and happy? Of course.

In order to feel good every morning you need to sleep enough hours at night. When you have enough sleep your feeling is great.
Stretch up a little bit and eat your breakfast without fat in it because cholesterol makes you sleepy while you are in your office working.
Love your job or look for a job you'll love.
Love your co-workers. If you hate your co-workers well then going to work would be like attempting suicide. Work places should be healthy for everybody and those people who causes problems should be out right away.
Gossips and backstabbing should not be allowed in your work and people should respect other workers.
