Star Gazing

Gemini (May 20 - Jun 20)
Between Mercury's stunning aspect to Neptune on Sunday and Monday's new moon, life is brimming with inspiring ideas. While some are taken further, others are less straightforward. So discuss plans with optimists and avoid those who insist on hard facts.

***This is so true! As I tried to discuss exciting ideas to some people, there are just some that are so pessimistic, very negative thinkers. So from now on, I'll talk to people with more sense to believe that hardwork and less complaints at work will get you more out of your job! It will definitely give you satisfaction.

Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 18)
You've either been oblivious to problems involving partners at work or at home or hoped they'd shoulder responsibilities themselves. However, their decisions might not suit you. So involve yourself now or risk results you hate.

Taurus (Apr 19 - May 19)
Recently it seemed wherever you turned, somebody was complaining. Now suddenly it's gone quiet. Hopefully that's because you left it to others to deal with their own problems. Consequently, you're able to focus on close relationships. Don't rush these.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)
Practical uncertainties can't be ignored. Still, they mustn't keep you from focusing on happy moments. Ideally you'll deal with what you must each day, then turn your attention to life's joys, free of concern about obligations and savour these pleasures with abandon.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 21)
Annoying as the errors that accompany Mercury's retrograde cycle are, they often lead to inspiring ideas. Knowing this, instead of rushing through problems, ask a few questions. This begins a lively dialogue about existing arrangements and new ideas.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 21)
When your ruler Mercury is retrograde you tend to believe that somehow you should have anticipated problems – yours and other people's. In turn your concerns about letting others down arouses both personal doubts and feelings of guilt.

Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 22)
Ordinarily you'd talk through perplexing situations with those you trust. However, because Monday's new moon is primarily about reflecting on your feelings, first consider what you're happy about. What emerges may surprise you and could require serious reflection.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 20)
Certain arrangements run counter to your intentions. That's not a problem because they're actually others' responsibility. This frees you to tackle personal issues. Acknowledging them boosts your spirits and you feel prepared to face them head-on.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)
In several situations you've made plans without giving much thought to others or whether you'll need their support. Now between unexpected twists in circumstance and their unenthusiastic reaction to some of your schemes, you're backed into a corner.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)
This hardly seems the ideal time to reorganise elements of your life. However, the mistakes that accompany Mercury's retrograde cycle expose facts that alert you to certain potentially far-reaching changes. Go ahead and explore your options.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
After dwelling on practical and financial matters you need a break. You get it in the form of discussions that promise to take you to realms that uplift and inspire you. Pursue these ideas or offers and by mid-October they could turn into serious planning.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 19)
Your instincts are remarkable. This is particularly the case now since the insights triggered by Monday's alliance between the retrograde Mercury and Neptune may not be what others want to hear. Don't ignore your instincts since ultimately they'll prove correct.

Happy Birthday Arena!

This is my cutie, witty, hyperactive niece Arena. And today is her special day as she turns 4. Even though she always have quarrels with my baby Jamjam (and she often gets away with it unscathed grrrrr!) I still love her to the core.

Now as she blows her candle, I offer a sincere prayer that may all her wishes come true. And may God Almighty bless her with good health, sound mind, and a kind heart (specially this LOL very naughty little girl!)

I love you Arena! Be Good...please!

Still hoping...

My six months work probation is over. And my nurse manager had just discussed with me my performance for the last six months. I'm so glad she's more than satisfied. Here's what she wrote in my IPR (well from what I can remember LOL)...

"Shiela has worked with high level of consistency. She is well-liked by the whole team. And I believe that she will do well as a Staff Nurse."

How great is that? I was delirious while reading it. I really hope our nursing director will find it in her heart to approve it and let me try for the DOH License.

But I'm taking my time, this is a great opportunity, one I owe so much from God. I'll be waiting for the time when He finally grant me this...

I am Clever!

Gemini (May 20 - Jun 20)
Being a clever air sign, when you're contending with difficulties, you'll analyse dilemmas and discuss them with others. Your aim is to learn as much as you can. Worthwhile as that may be, you're also urged to go within.

***Clever huh? hehehe well I just have to accept that, anyway it's the forecast of a world renowned astrologer. I really am learning as much as I can, and I'm having a fun time doing it! Low self-concept is the root of despair and misery. So why not enjoy the most out of it. I'm still young and I know I can do a lot of things now and in the future. For me it's a challenge, one that I'll have to surpass to succeed.

Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 18
It may take some time for you to understand the tides of emotion stirred by events at the time of the full moon this week. These both accented uncomfortable feelings of vulnerability and made you aware how much you care about someone.

Taurus (Apr 19 - May 19)
You could easily find yourself being stubborn. That's because this week's changes are appearing so gradually that you wouldn't necessarily notice just how much they've altered the circumstances you're dealing with.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)
Relinquishing long cherished goals would break your heart. True, you're making no progress as they're currently conceived. Not until you let these go will your mind be clear enough to spot other, very different concepts.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 21)
At first you ignored the complaints of certain individuals about persistent problems, mostly because their previous grumbles weren't actually that serious. This time around, however, the situation is different.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 21)
You'd think you'd know exactly what makes you happy. Yet when you ask yourself that question, you're short of answers. That's no surprise, since questions of this nature are part of the process of a top to bottom reorganisation of your life.

Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 22)
During the past four weeks numerous changes in circumstances, some welcome, others less so, have left you feeling both unsettled and hopeful in equal parts. For now, focus on reviewing your priorities and analysing your options.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 20)
Having invested a great deal of your energy in certain ventures, you're not about to give them up without a battle. While you could probably keep things as they are, think carefully about whether that's wise.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)
You've been sidestepping issues involving loved ones because you genuinely don't understand why they're upset. The problem is, they don't either. That being the case, continue to avoid serious discussions.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)
When it comes to finalising plans, timing is everything. This means that however eager people are to take things further swiftly, you're right to adopt a more cautious pace. This is vital now, but becomes of even greater significance next week.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Don't think that, out of loyalty to others, you must stick with past arrangements, in spite of obstacles. Actually, those apparent obstacles are really no more than a timely change in circumstances, and could actually lead to improvements.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 19)
Certain usually sane individuals have declared war on situations that have been increasingly frustrating. While you can understand their strong feelings about this, that by no means suggests you need to join them in their battles.

Like a Butterfly

Thanks so much ROSE for thinking of me like a butterfly hehehe...They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut or that they propagate? Then let's try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.

I am awarding this to the following bloggers who flies like butterflies in the blogsphere! Jinky, Jenny, Michelle, Rochelle, Madz, Joy, K ,& Pchi!

Happy Birthday Mae2x

It's my younger sister's birthday and as usual, I missed it! Though I was not there physically but my heart will always be with my family. And one thing more, we did chat online (can you see me at the back? yeah that's me on the webcam LOL), so it's as if I was with them celebrating (minus the food! grrrr).

Anyway, I wish you all the best life has to offer sistah. And please straighten out your life. Prepare and plan for your future, both for you and Arena. Know that I'm always here to support you, but I'll literally kick your ass if you kept neglecting your duties and responsibilities as a mom. I love you & I miss you...

(pssst dili nimo b-day oi!)

Ever so LOVELY...

Every mother always feel proud of their kids, and I'm no exception. Every time I see my baby grow into a person worthy of all the praises she deserves, my heart swells with enormous pride and love. I love you so much JaM, more than words can ever tell and more than actions can ever show.

To all my international friends, I apologize if you can't understand my previous post. I had to write it in our mother tongue to honor our yearly celebration of Filipino culture and heritage.

JaM's Buwan ng Wika Celebration

"Kung sino man ang di marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, ay higit pa sa malansang isda..."Gat Jose Rizal. Kaya sa post ko na ito, sisikapin kong gamitin ang ating sariling wika.

Noong nakaraang Agosto ay ipinagdiwang ang Buwan ng Wika. Kaya naman hindi nagpabitin ang paaralan na pinapasukan ni Jamjam. Ito ang iilan sa mga larawang nakuha sa sinasabing pagdiriwang...

Mahalagang matutunan ng bawat Pilipino ang mga katutubong sayaw upang hindi natin makalimutan ang ating kultura at pinagmulan.

Ang kinankanta ni Jamjam ay "Imposible"na inawit ni KC Concepcion. Kaya mo yan Jam!

Stunning Future!

Gemini (May 20 - Jun 20)
Having already reorganised elements of your life, you're not thrilled about doing it again. However, this is just another stage in changes that are leading to something stunning. Your instincts are rightly telling you there's no time for debate. Go for it: it's now or never.

***Stunning??? It's now or never??? Really this just keeps getting better. Thanks so much for this, kept my spirits high!!!

Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 18)
Though things won't go as you intended, they'll still be in your best interests. Keep this in mind and when plans fall apart, you'll focus on the exciting events that accompany Monday's powerful aspect between Jupiter and the driven Saturn.

Taurus (Apr 19 - May 19)
Obstacles don't mean plans have gone wrong. Actually, they're simply turning a corner, one that will prove worthwhile. This involves projects dear to your heart, which means letting go of existing arrangements may seem risky or even disappointing.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)
Recently you had to make fair but firm demands and you're nervously awaiting the outcome. There will be grumbles and perhaps tough negotiations. Not only will you win the day, this victory sets a higher trajectory for the future than you'd believed possible.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 21)
After recent setbacks others are advising caution. Ignore them and plunge into the remarkable events triggered by Monday's alliance between bountiful Jupiter and Saturn, which either turn existing arrangements in your favour or bring something even better.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 21)
Obviously you'd rather know exactly what and who's involved in new ventures. But Monday's stunning aspect between Jupiter and Saturn which is in your sign, isn't about analysis it's about a new, broader perspective on life and ultimately, on yourself.

Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 22)
Events aren't in your control and seem overwhelming, so you'd rather wait until you know more. Actually, since changes are transforming elements of your lifestyle and even your identity, analysis will only heighten your anxieties. Take the plunge.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 20)
So far you've avoided the dramatic changes swirling through the lives of others. However, you're being drawn increasingly into these, more than you know. In fact you're joining others in redrawing the map of your life.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)
Recent offers have been promising, but have come with strings attached. Signified by Monday's aspect between Jupiter and Saturn, these are tedious but give plans needed practical grounding. Balance your vision with focus on money and achieve wonders.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)
Obviously you'll avoid arrangements you haven't investigated thoroughly. But judging by Monday's potent link between Jupiter and Saturn, that's exactly what you have to do. Agonising about lack of information will only heighten your anxiety.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Bizarrely, this week's unsettling events are best dealt with by agreeing to everything, ensuring others know you'll assess arrangements when you've more facts. This prevents them from badgering you and ensures you're in the midst of events, gaining insights.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 19)
This is an amazing week. But that doesn't prevent bickering about what's wise. Focus on gathering facts from others. Doing your own thing upsets certain self-styled experts. But you must be true to yourself, as your instincts are far better than anybody's advice.

I'm so thrilled!

Today was a very busy day for me at work, but I didn't feel it that much. It's because the subject of me taking the DOH exam (this is the licensing body for nurses here in Dubai) was again brought up by my senior staff nurse and my nurse manager! My SSN said to our NM that she should let me take the exam and apply as a NICU staff because she's impressed with my performance (really felt good when you are appreciated however demanding the job maybe). And my NM said that she want to, and infact she already discussed it with no less than our Nursing Director. Really, this is the big break I've been waiting for (as usual my horoscope's right LOL). I feel so excited and eager until now. All I have to do is keep doing my best, wait, and PRAY. I believe God will give what my heart desires and deserves. Thank you Lord so much for this wonderful opportunity.

Flirting Aside

“I bet your Dad is a real tough man,” one guy once told me while we were dancing on the dance floor. “How do you know that?” I asked. Then he replied, “well he must be, to keep all the guys from ripping your house apart in search for you…”(said with a twinkling, and smiling eyes). Eeewww ever so corny that the hair on my nape all stood up in response. He could have just told me he likes to go out on a date with me. Or better yet leaned closer to me so I could smell his freshly styled hair (what better way to attract a mate than by flaunting your Victory Hair with Extreme Style by VO5). Who knows? I might have said “YES”.

So if you don’t want to be an oldie in the flirting arena, I strongly suggest that you visit Victory Hair. Here you can play a very exciting game called... Ultimate Flirting Championship

Tried it myself, and believe me, it was as much fun as the real one! Why not check your own flirting capabilities? Are you still in or thoroughly out of fashion. You won’t get disappointed, I know coz I didn’t.
