A Surprise #BirthdayGift

I was doing some reports in the office when I received a package delivery from  LBC.  I was very surprised as I wasn't expecting anything.  I was also  worried to open it because I don't know the sender but I had a feeling it  will be good.  My ever thoughtful and loving  sister, my Ate, found a way to  surprise me.  Her birthday is tomorrow and  my birthday  comes  a day after her.  Thank you very much Ate, I love it!  Sorry, I wasn't able to send you anything since I have been traveling (my excuse ha ha ha).  Happy birthday to us, I miss and love you!

I am back in the office for now as we are done auditing. I definitely love the traveling part of my new job.  I get to see places that I would have not traveled  yet if I did not change my line of work so I am very happy about that.  I will be 24 this weekend and I am so blessed to have been given  opportunities.  I will always be grateful to my sister and  her husband for  truly supporting me and sending me to college.  I  wouldn't be enjoying all of these without their help so thank you Kuya John and Ate.

Bonded with My Mom: What a Birthday Treat!

As I have mentioned in my previous posts, I am blessed to have been traveling  with my boss lately on my new job doing audits of  the office branches  around the country.  I was very happy when it was time to  audit the offices  in my region because I got to  visit my Mother for a brief period of time and we got to bond for few days before coming back here in Manila again.  I had to  re-schedule the  dates of my  trips and pay for it but  it's worth it.  

 

Ever since I came to Manila, I have been worrying about Mama .  Although my brother is there with her, I worried that she won't take care of her health and get sick again.  Now I feel how my sister feels being far away.  I know, my distance is nothing compared to Ate but with my line of work, I can't just  take off and visit  Mama anytime I want.  Ate asked me if I can visit  Mama on Mother's Day but I told her that I couldn't but I am so glad that I got the chance with  this job-related trip. 

I am now back in Manila and having a break from traveling. I am back to office and just taking my time to recuperate. I am surprised that I don't get car sick anymore. When I was a kid, I used to get car sick every time Mama take me somewhere.  I am so glad, I got over it, I think God is looking on me so thank you Papa Jesus!

 

The visit to my mother was a great advance birthday treat for me.  I want to take this opportunity to greet Ate a happy birthday.  She celebrates her birthday a day before mine.  Salamat  for all the help Ate, I would not be where I am now without you and Kuya.  I am grateful that you supported me financially and  emotionally during my college days.  Without your encouragement, I won't enjoy  what I have now so thank you and  may God bless you on your birthday and  always!

Birthday Trio in JUne

Hello everybody, this is Mae again. It's been months since my last post about Mama's birthday. I have been very busy with my work lately that I hardly have time to even chat with my Ate Chubskulit Rose. I think my body is suffering from my hectic schedule because I have been sickly lately.

 But anyway, I know this is late but I would like to greet Ate a happy belated birthday through this blog post. She has been so instrumental to me ever since I was a baby. Mama said that Ate was the one who gave me the name Zilreen because she wanted me to be the last baby of the family that's why she chose the letter Z. All of my siblings' names starts with R and I am the only with Z.  Below is the  video I made  for her birthday yesterday.

A Sister who knows how to make me smile, and cry at the same time. A sister who taught me the things I know by now, I am so glad you're my sister. Happy2x Birthday sa padabaon kong sister, Chubskulit Rose wish you all the best, enjoy your day, take care always and I love you so much...

I would like to thank my boyfriend, George for making me a video on my birthday as well. Yes, Ate and I celebrates our birthdays one day apart but since she live  in the US and I am here in the Philippines, we get to celebrate together because of the time difference  which makes it sweet.

Another sister of ours, Ate Rosel, also celebrates her birthday in June. Hers is on the 20th. So yes, we are June babies!  I thank God for my family, for the job  that I have, for  friends, and for  all the opportunities that comes my way.  I thank God for Ate and Kuya John, without them, I don't know where I am right now.  Thank you sending me to college, I am where I am now because of you.  God bless!

I thank God for all the wonderful people including a super loving and kind boyfriend.
