Ballet and Birthday Pictures

Saturday was a ballet presentation of my daughter at SM City here in Iloilo, then yesterday was the birthday of my nephew. I took pictures of both events, most importantly the only remembrance of my nephews birthday are those pics. So, I uploaded it on my computer and deleted it after. Due to my multitasking, I received an error in doing so, but I didn’t even read the error message, I just clicked to close the window. Hours after, I was putting watermark on my pictures, when I noticed that there are things missing; I could not see the birthday pictures! Then, I remembered the error message. It was those images, but I already deleted and formatted my SD card.

I prayed that I could find solution to my problem, because it is the only remembrance of my nephew of his 3rd birthday. So I searched for programs that could retrieve those images. I have seen a lot of free programs for windows, but I can’t find any free ones for Mac (currently using MacBook). Here goes the advantages of having different OS available – after I got tired of searching for free retrieval software for Mac, I just opened my Windows notebook. On my MacBook, I already eyed a free program for windows, so that I won’t have a hard time searching. I just typed the URL of the program and installed it on my Windows notebook. The program is SoftPerfect File Recovery, which I got from the referral of GeckoandFly. It was SO PERFECT for me, because it worked flawlessly and recovered the batch of pictures that I deleted hours ago.

WARNING: After accidentally formatting or deleting pictures, DO NOT take pictures with the same memory card because it will lessen your chances to recover your pics. Luckily, I have not taken any pictures after I have reformatted it. Amazing how those pictures are still recovered after I deleted it on my MacBook and then Formatted it on the Cam.

So, here are the ballet pics:

The Driver Gave my Money Back

Today, is my daughter’s 5th birthday, but I am at work. I would be meeting her after work and would make up on my absence when I get back home from Manila. I promised her that I will give her my Gigabyte notebook so that she could watch all the movie she wants, but I guess I could find ways to put movies she likes on her iPod Touch.

So, I was going to my day job when I found out I have no coins to pay for the jeep. I took my Php 500 and gave it to the driver. He gave me back my money because he has no change. I told him to just have it change on a gasoline station. He answered me angrily – there’s no open gas station yet, because it’s too early. Well, upon passing a gas station, the driver was wrong. I just went down at the gas station for him to see that it is open!

Well, that’s my free ride this morning. I guess that’s a gift for me from that angry driver for being a Mom for 5 years now.

Happy Birthday my Hannah. I love you!

Invitation to Jun Hannah’s 5th Birthday

The party theme was supposed to be BRATZ, but recently I let her watch Hannah Montana and she really liked it. So, I made an invitation that is like a concert ticket and attached my daughter’s face to Hannah Montana’s.

I was soo busy for the past few weeks that I ran out of money and wasn’t able to prepare much for the party. Anyway, my Mom did all of that; she bought souvinirs already though I could have picked one that is related to the theme like guitar or microphones for the kids, but she chose stuffed toys. Well, beggars can’t be choosers.

I won’t be able to attend the party of my daughter because I have work that day. I hope she enjoys her day. I’ll be making it up to her when I come back from Manila.

June Hector’s 2nd B-day

Everyone is invited! Please text +639176229130 to confirm your attendance.

Duty, Meeting, Party

This has been a very long day. I wont be too detailed about it but here are some of the things I did today.

1. Went to get remittance.
2. Accompany my daughter to her swim class.
3. Went to a mall to buy a gift for a debut of a daughter of my Dad’s friend.
4. Went to Anhawan for a company get together or I call it meeting. Saw my high school friends there as well.
5. Went to a salon to have my hair and make up done.
6. Went home to dress up and have my Mom polish my nails.
7. Went to Emillion to attend debut.
8. Went home. At last, REST.

So tired right now. I am going to update this post with pics.

Have to wake up early tomorrow to fetch my cousin-brother and his wife at the airport.

A Happy 27th Birthday

Yesterday, I turned 27. Since I think I am too old for cakes and those family gatherings, I planned to spend a night with my friends.

A lot of people greeted me during my day which made me happy.

It was a stressful but fruitful day.

During lunch time, I didn’t ate at all because I went to my cousins in different locations to get something that my Mom asked (alright – it was money … hehehe but not for me … as I said, my MOM asked). I also bought a cake for my team to eat (bulaklakin by dunkin doughnut).

After office hours, I attended a Mass for blessings. Then I went to meet my friends. I didn’t invite many people, because I really intend to have enough bonding time with my closest friends. Most of the people I invited couldn’t make it because they have work. So, the number was even smaller, it was just 4 of us who bonded.

First stop, we went to Dos Maria’s to eat a Pizza, because they have the biggest Pizza that I have ever seen. Their Pizza was good, but the chicken wings were better. It was just 4 of us, so even if we tried our best to eat the whole Pizza, we couldn’t. We just ate half of it and I took the half for take out.

L-R: Ann, Me, Yen, Mai @ Dos Marias with the biggest Pizza

My friend Ann wanted to have dessert, so we went to Smallville to satisfy our taste. After eating our Tiramisu and Ice cream. Mai who is a sister of my friend Yen, informed me that there is an Electronic Bingo machine that I could play with (She knows I love it). I was tempted and because it was my birthday, I tried my luck. I won Php 500. Bleeeh … I did have my Good Luck!

After my Bingo win, we went for a walk and have stopped at Bluejays to drink coffee. Then there we had some mind blowing chit chat.

The waiter informed us that they were closing, so we went back to my car for me to drove them to their houses. My friend Ann was shocked to see that my car clock showed it was 1:00 AM (she thought it was broken), but when I checked my mobile phone, it was indeed past 1 AM.

On the long road going home, I was alone that morning. I was scared of ghosts, so I prayed and prayed that no one will show to greet me. I arrived home safely and here I am now

BTW, my friends bought gifts for me … heheh YEHEY … THANK YOU!

What A Good Day

As I have mentioned yesterday; my first God daughter would be celebrating her 18th birthday today. So, we went shopping for our gift to her. My Mom and I agreed to give her a bag. It was a good idea, but it was hard to find the right one since I don’t know her likes.

My daughter had a great time on the party, because when the 18 roses was dancing with the debutant, she was also at the center and dancing with her second cousin, Bhor. My daughter likes to be a center of attention. I just hope a talent scout in the Philippines would discover her

My Dad learned how to use Skype and we had a video conference today. He wanted to see the kids but only my daughter Hannah was awake during his call. It was an effort for me to keep Hannah awake because she is pretty tired from the activities we had today. I let her watch the movie “Enchanted” just to keep her up.

Also, before I forget, I received a copy of Blogging from Home by Janette Toral. It seems to be a great book and I have heard a lot of good things about it. I will be reading this tomorrow.

Sorry the pic is unclear, my phone seems to be out dated.
