Shopaholic

It was another busy saturday for me. I did my laundry in the morning. I did another stupid thing while doing the laundry. I put too much soap in the container that I needed to redo my laundry twice. When the washing machine stopped, I was surprised to see the glass window, still full of soap! And so I turned on the washing machine again. Another bad thing about it, it caused some of the soap to spill on the floor. I had to wash off the floor so it wont be too slippery because of the soap.

I made arroz caldo for lunch and breaded porkchop with buttered veggies for dinner. I had a nice time eating. I just hope chad enjoyed his food.

At around 2:30pm, I tried to find St. Henry's church. It was the catholic church that pheng was talking about. And another stupidy of me... I wasnt able to find the church. I got lost somewhere the pier area. I had to walk my way back to Stockmann. But on the contrary, I was able to find some sale items in the shopping district of helsinki. I bought walking shoes for HH. I just hope it fits him. It was so super sale! I didnt actually believe that I will be able to buy that nice shoes for only 13euros. hehehe. great deal! My next problem again will be how to bring it home without having excess baggage?!?

Supermarket day

Yesterday afternoon after going to the gym, I went to K-Citymarket. It's a supermarket a few blocks away from the apartment. Even though chad and I had a deal that he'll be doing the grocery and Ill take care of the cooking, I still went on to a little grocery shopping. I bought some bananas, cereals, chicken, pork and veggie oil. I walked my way home carrying the shopping bag that is a bit heavy. And since my pimple somewhere kept on aching, it was harder for me to walk.

A while ago I made some pork steak. It's been a while since I ate pork here in helsinki. It tasted so good... well at least for me. I guess chad also enjoyed the food since he doesnt have a choice! haha... either he eats my cooking or starve to death! I was able to chat with HH awhile ago but only for a short while because I was busy surfing. Talk about priorities huh?! Anyways, I better go to bed now. I have a 10am mtg tomorrow. It's going to be another busy day. Hope everything goes well. Goodnyt!

Saturday Madness

It's the first Monday I am deployed here in Helsinki all alone.  Waaahh! Ako lang pinoy dito! It's been such a lonely day for me.  Unlike when Punzi was still here, I can talk to somebody when I am a bit bored.  My head is rather heavy and I just want to sleep.  There are no urgent deadlines as of now and I hope I wouldnt experience the panic mode of my other teammates deployed here before.  I just want to go home and sleep... or even watch tv even if our cable kept on showing the same movies over and over again. 
 
Chad sprained his ankle last saturday.  He played paint ball with the other Nokians and ended up with a bandaged foot.  What is so bad about this is that I have to always help him out and be considerate about the house chores that he's supposed to do.  Ganap na ang pagiging DH ko dito sa helsinki. Hahaha. 
 
I also have this pimple growing on a weird part of my body.  I wish it had grown on my head so it will be covered with my hair.  It's so uncomfortable and painful. Grrrr!
 
Last Saturday, I went to 2 flea markets.  The first one is the market for used stuff.  Kinda like the ukay-ukay / garage sale.  But it wasnt just a garage because it was a big parking space where people sell second hand goods.  there were lots of nice stuff to buy there.  but let me remind you that everything here in helsinki is expensive.  way lot expensive! as expensive as buying a brand new stuff in the philippines.  Well, just for the heck of it, I did some window shopping. If only I have more baggage allowance in the plane, I would have bought a lot of coats.  But I wouldnt be able to wear those coats since it will never snow in manila. I was able to buy this nice silver ring for 2euros.  that will be 140 pesos and i think it's a reasonable enough price. i just hope it doesnt tarn before i get back to manila. hehe
 
Then I went to the 2nd flea market near the bay.  I'd love to go shopping here because suomi souvenirs are a lot cheaper here than in the mall.  I can buy a helsinki shirt for as low as 5 euros.  That's really great! There are also keychains, jewelries, berries, peas, etc.  I'll come back there to buy my pasalubong before I come home. There are also small foodstalls there. It's looks really fun to eat there.
 
After visiting the fleamarkets, I went to Stockmann to check out the fcuk shirts that HH's mom is requesting. Well, it was as expensive as always.  I dont know if I can force myself of buying one of those shirts considering the price.  it was way off my budget!  Though I really love fcuk's bootleg pants... costing at around 105euros or 7350pesos. wow! i could have bought 7 pairs of cheap girbaud pants. hay nako BG! stop converting to peso or else u wont be able to buy anything. and i mean anything! 
 
After a tiring day of walking and site seeing, I went home. Back to reality once again! Have to work to earn my shopping money! Hehehe

My Chicken Soup

 40 VALUABLE LESSONS I'VE LEARNED
1) Relationships don't end, they change.
2) You CAN make a living doing what you love.
3) Never spend all the money you have. Save money and it saves you.
4) In bad times everyone can't help you and in good times everyone isn't as happy for you. Learn how to discern and develop true friends.
5) Don't make promises to your children you can't keep.
6) God is always listening, be careful with your inner self-talk.
7) People and creditors have long memories.
8) The past has passed, let go of the pain, nostalgia, woulda, coulda, shoulda
9) Practice everyday saying and/or doing something that is loving, helpful & purposeful.
10) Being too dependent on others doesn't allow you to know your own power to create what you need.
11) I am too blessed to be stressed, don't sweat the small stuff
12) Most people are not bad or mad, they are just sad and don't know how to get the love and attention they deserve.
13) Everything you say and think has power to create its likeness.
14) Fear and procrastination are major enemies to success.
15) God loves me.
16) Don't ignore or mistreat people, everyone is important.
17) Don't give up 5 minutes before your miracle.
18) Good health is so valuable, fragile and a blessing. Drink a lot of water.
19) Don't take everything so serious, have a sense of humor.
20) People like to help or do business with people they already know, networking is critical. Meet and serve as many people as you can.
21) You didn't die from your mistakes, but you may have to repeat them, if you didn't learn the lesson.
22) We train other people how to treat us, self-esteem is NOT selfish, it's necessary.
23) Stay away from negative, critical, judgmental, gossipy people.
24) Spend as much time as possible around nature and beautiful environments.
25) Sometimes things you can't learn in a book or from a parent, teacher or pastor, you have to experience it for yourself.
26) Acknowledge your shortcomings and work to improve them. Acknowledge your strengths, be humble but don't diminish or deny them.
27) Stay focused to get a job done. Either do it, delegate it or dump it.
28) I didn't die from the painful times in my life, they made me stronger.
29) Don't let a fool kiss you. Don't let a kiss fool you. Kisses aren't promises.
30) Have a life, don't depend on others to make you happy and fulfilled
31) A merry heart does good like medicine but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
32) Marriage and parenting are serious commitments, don't be in a hurry
33) Find ways to show appreciation to those you love and care about, not just on holidays or birthdays.
34) Pay attention to details and keep good records.
35) Prayer changes things. Trust God's divine plan.
36) If you take it, return it. If you break it, fix it. If you know it, live it. If you want it, ask for it. If you use it, clean it. If you wear it, hang it up. If made a mistake, take responsibility for it. If you have some share it. If you own it, protect it. If you love someone, show it. If you believe  it, you can achieve it.
37) Time is precious, live everyday to it's fullest, everyday is a special occasion.
38) Learn to enjoy your own solitude.
39) People come into your life for a reason or a season. They bring joy and lessons.
40) Always stay in the light in spite of any bad news or changes. This positive attitude will help you stay in peace rather than fall to pieces.

Summer in Helsinki

finally it's not so cold here in helsinki. also not so hot like in manila. just the right temperature to go out and enjoy helsinki! yahoo!
 
I arrived here last monday but I had to go straight to work from the airport. That's too mean! I didnt have a choice since I didnt have a key to the apartment and had to pick up the key from nokia house.  anyways, when i got to the office, my ofcmate was in a meeting so i had to attend his meeting too! really rude!!! when i got to the meeting, i brought with me pinoy chocolates... i think it was curly tops. guess what?! they loved the chocolates especially the ladies. according to them, it wasnt so sweet and they could eat a lot of it without noticing they had too much of choco already. hahaha.  at least the next time i come here and bring them pasalubong, it wouldnt be too hard to find something for them... not to mention it's a lot cheaper than dried mangoes. hehehe.
 
Punzi, my ofcmate just left for manila yesterday (friday).  That means I have to attend the meetings alone.  hayy... too bad!  I have no one to ask when i dont know how to answer the client's questions.  well anyways, i am looking forward to go shopping... or at least window shop today.  my allowance hasnt arrived yet so i dont think shopping will be a good idea.  i dont want to be caught dead broke here in helsinki especially everything here is a lot more expensive than in manila.  Ill also try to visit the fleamarket that punzi told me.  i hope stuff in there is less expensive.  Ill also try to take some pictures of the places im going to later. I borrowed punzi's digicam so I can take pictures if ever i decide to go to the zoo.  My ofcmates told me that there are lots of unusual animals in helsinki's zoo... might as well give it a visit.
 
at times like this, i miss home. i have no other pinoy to talk to.  my ofcmate chad, who is also my aptmnt mate is the only person to talk to. hayy... it's sad to be the only pinoy here in helsinki.

PENIS DIALOGUES*

By Fred dela Rosa

I THINK it’s about time we pricks speak up.

– I agree with you one 100 percent, brother.

– The women are having all the fun. They’re going to town with their Vagina Monologues and winning converts to their cause.

– Not only is feminism advancing, but now everyone drops the word “vagina” and people
don’t blush anymore.

– Vagina or its local equivalent.

– I heard the actresses were shouting puki all over the stage.

– No wonder Ateneo banned the play.

– But women don’t have a monopoly of gender problems. Men also suffer from sexist jokes, for instance.

– Former judge Harriet Demetriou once said women are generally more honest than men. That’s sexist.

– Men also have problems with their sexuality. There are practices that are harmful
to men or boys.

– But are we ready to shout “penis!” all over the stage?

– Penis, shpenis, that’s nothing. I’d like to hear the Filipino equivalent.

– Titi sounds delicious onstage.

– Or bayag.

– Remember when we can’t even say or write, putang ina?

– Let’s thank the women for breaking the ice. What do you say we produce a play like The
Vagina Monologues and talk about the sexual life and problems of male Filipinos?

– We could talk about babies protesting why they’re being circumcised when they have not
been consulted, or could not do anything about it. Or we can have victims of botched
circumcision. I still have my big lambi. I have this huge piece of dry skin hanging where the foreskin used to be.

– The doctor did that to you?

– No, our neighbor, the carpenter. The bastard used a rusty chisel on me.

– Of course if you’re not circumcised you could also be the victim of cruel jokes.

– Like being called apog factory.

– Or just plain supot.

– We could have an actor talk about his premature ejaculation.

– Oh, that’s embarrassing.

– What could be more embarrassing than impotence?

– We’ll title that monologue, The Impossible Dream.

– On the other hand, we could have an old man celebrate the magic of Viagra.

– The Bob Dole Monologue.

– For real pain, we can have a closet gay talk about his personal crisis.

– Let’s deepen the agony and make the gay person a general in the military or the police.

– Or an Abu Sayyaf commander.

– At the opposite end, there are men who are domineered by their wives.

– I have a neighbor who is verbally abused daily by his wife. And in front of the kids.

– Worse, I have a compadre who suffers physical abuse from his missus.

– We could have a penis talk about its size: teenie-weenie.

– Or like John Holmes’ big banana.

– We’ll call it Penis from Heaven.

– How about husbands who have had their meat sliced off by their wives?

– We’ll call it, A Cut Above the Rest.

– Or, The Lorena Bobbitt Surprise.

– Hey, this could be as long and multi-themed as The Vagina Monologues.

– I think we have a winner.

– What shall we call the play?

– We could title it, Private Parts, Public Perorations.

– Or we could call it, The Testicle Oracle.

– I can’t wait to sit down and write my own monologue.

- Let’s talk about casting. Who shall we ask to star in the play and deliver monologues?

- Well, for starters, you can have Erap Estrada, Dolphy, Ramon Revilla, Joey Marquez. For guest actors, let’s invite Bill Clinton, John Wayne Bobbitt, Robert Dole …
