4 Things you might not have known about your  Cell Phone

 
For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)
 
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.
 Check out the things that you can do with it:
 
FIRST   (Emergency)
 
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
 
 
SECOND   (Hidden Battery Power)
 
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.
 
THIRD   (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? )
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone:  
  *#06# .
A ​IMEI ​ 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This ​IMEI ​ number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
 
If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this ​IMEI ​ 15-digit code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
   
 
And Finally....
 
FOURTH   (Free Directory Service for Cells)
 
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:
(800) FREE411   or (800) 373-3411   
without incurring any charge at all.  Program this into your cell phone now.

 
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

33 weeks pregnant and waiting

It has been a while since I last posted. So much has happened in so little time.

We had our baby shower for Taluli. it was fun and amazing, so grateful for those who came and shared their insights on motherhood and their gifts for the wonderful bubba.

I especially loved the part where the guests will write down their wishes for taluli and I can say my brothers' is the most self absorbed wish of all.



I was rushed to the emergency room last friday, May 2, due to persistent stomach cramping I thought we were ready to go so we grabbed my hospital bag and called my mom to meet us at the hospital and to my relief, baby was fine, I am not in Labor and he is in a position getting ready for birth and I was diagnosed with Urinary Tract Infection. I seriously thought I was going through some initial labor pains. I thought one glass of Coke Zero a day was all innocent and okay when it turned out that it was the culprit! So no more coke zero until baby taluli arrives. I was also asked to do a 48 hour bed rest and a check up with my doctor ASAP.


UTI, as I was told, very common in pregnant women for some reason. So now just to really make sure, I have a Jug of water beside me  that I guzzle on everytime I get up. I also am taking an Antibiotic to get rid of the UTI (Cefuroxime axetil) Zinnat that was prescribed to be safe for me and the baby and some meds to keep the baby hanging on until it's time to go.

I was to attend a breast feeding seminar last saturday May 3, so I am hoping there would be another class close to the day I am to give birth so at least I know what to do before taluli starts to suck (in a good way that is, literaly :) ) for now I have been indulging on youtube video tutorials from Moms who share their post and prenatal journeys and have been picking up so many tips and tricks so i can have an easy way on taking care of this little boy which I am excited to see in the next few days.

Things I know about myself so far.

I am writing these things down as a reminder most of all for progress.

1.)   I love the color Turquoise.
2.)   I m very passionate about God and Jesus that I can go on and on but not religious.
3.)  When a song is about to come up, It feels like I am having sex, a desire brews and I climax with the finish product and end mostly incomplete. LOL. #raw #tmi
4.)   I am funny when I want to be liked. I am serious when I want to be hated. I am seriously funny  when I am comfortable around you.
5.)   I annoy people by asking too much questions.
6.)   I fear the future but create a discipline of just thinking a day or three or a week at a time so if you ask me about the future I can go on and on with my views as to why you should not ask me that.
7.)   I love Cheetos Jalapeno.
8.)   It takes me 2 weeks tops to buy what I want even If I had the money to spend for it. I usually go on rounds and justify before I make a purchase.
9.)   I love soft earplugs, always have a pair handy wherever I go. Puts me to deep sleep.
10.) I use soccer socks to shut my eye. Not only that it gives me the best eyelash curl, my eyes don't feel comfortable and snug enough with those eye mask or covers they give you on airplanes.
11.) I am pretty much intuitive, it harms me more than helps me sometimes. I am learning how to not be anti social about it. LOL.
12.) I am a very practical person even on the rashest decisions I make for myself. I am not shy to admit my fault.
13.) I by human nature get affected and take consideration of other people's perception, but always choose to do by me and not care. 
14.) I have trouble loosing weight.
15.) I give emphasis on Loyalty and hold myself accountable to that.
16.) I like things that are constantly in motion, that is the only thing that you can control is to keep the moving, movable and the result is the proof of your movement. I do not attach myself fully in anything I had no participation with so I do not really like taking credits in results other than what I actually took time and energy with and I pretty much stuck in that.
17.) When I am stuck I cope by breathing and meditating until. I believe in the surrender to lack of control. I suffered from panic attacks every now and then so this thinking has kept me safe and panic attack free for a year now.

That's just it for now. I Got stuck at 6:18 PM. Until next time.

Bun in the Oven

The many meanings of Tala's First Name


Today I was having thoughts of insecurities about Tala's name because society dictates it is a baby girl's name. I mean a name is a name yeah...So the investigator in me dug and dug for the real meaning of Tala, unconfined to just how it should be perceived as a name in the Philippines and was amazed to find out that some of the name "Tala"'s attachments are related to Music and Green..further justifies my gut feel for a "green" themed nursery package for taluli.

So here are the origins of the name "Tala" in different cultures and nationalities:

In India

Tala: A music term meaning rhythm or beat. 
Means Palm tree, (the name of a palm forest Talavana, or just tree as in Imli Tala (Tamarind Tree), and apparently 
Tala can also mean shade.

In Thailand: Tala means Green. ( NO wonder my attachment to getting everything colored green for my sweetie pie...amazeballs!)

In Samoa: Tala is the name of the currency which was said to be bigger than the dollar.

In Persian: Tala means "gold تالا

In Filipino/Tagalog: Tala means star, or bright star, or morning star and is usually associated with Venus.

In Estonia: Tala means Beam.

In Mongolia: Tala means Land. (Bayan Tala = Fertile Land).

In Greece: Tala = to bear, to support or to hold up.

In Native American: A wolf.

In Burma: Means Owner and a title like King.

Singlehood Dramatics: To the man who will try another time.

Remember this face, this face was given away and wised up due to self preserving circumstances. 

This face gives and takes with such measure and closes in to her own comfortable state of being alone.

This face has an extra sense for bullshit and fears vulnerability where it is undue, do not lie to this face it may be hard to gain this glow and trust back.

This face shuts down if you are not smart and man enough to ask for the switch back.

Her mental and emotional balance is a constant work in progress, she can walk away as she pleases you may choose to walk with her or abandon her fully, worry not for she won't be shaken she's been around the block a while.

You can't really break her she is aware of the game of life more than you think you do.

If you are a person who values too much of or have not mastered his ego much to let go, then do not waste your time.

It is just easy to open the flood gates love, although it may seem that she thinks she knows it all, she has this huge space for growth. To be able to get into her psyche, you just need to be strong in mind and weak at heart at the same time, just like her. Her Ego bows down to people who let their ego lie low, you will then realize the wall isn't too high or tough at all.

She loves herself more than she loves to hate so she wouldn't hate you for being human..you simply just did not workout to be part of her inner circle in life. She will treat you as a lesson and understands that she put herself in situations where she chose to be happy or not.

Remember this smile, as sweet as it comes, only comes by once in a while. I will remember this face and will treat it as special before It is given away.

Metro Manila List of Taxi Service with contact info



The last digit of my plate number is 1 so I have no choice today but get a cab instead. I am wary of just picking up a cab from the street because of the resurgence of cab related hold ups and casualties that I hear about.

I decided to share this list of Taxi Pick up service contact numbers in Metro Manila because it's too hard to get them all in one place:

The Taxi Pick up service list contact numbers are as follows:

24/7 Taxi: 642-3525; 634-5980
ABC: 454-8717
Avis: 831-27-01
Basic Taxi: 900-1447; 900-1448; 643-7777
Crownstar Taxi: 747-3064
Dollar: 921-2383; 927-8718
EMP Taxi: 293-5930; 293-5931; 291-7005
Hyatt Taxi: 807-0707
MGE Transport: 363-6096; 364-8260; 366-6287; 366-6214
Nine Stars: 330-1654; 362-9089; 362-1890
R&E: 362-9089; 364-9058; 330-1654
Reno: 931-3272; 931-2681
Sturdy Taxi: 330-3568; 361-1282
Tai Taxi: 801-1093
Trends Taxi: 822-9345; 823-8951; 821-4685
Xavierville: 788-0204; 826-1769

I personally use Tai Taxi for 8 years now, Tai Taxi is the safest most friendly taxi cab service I have ever been in I left items there too that were returned to me including 2 cellphones in 8 years. You can also haggle rates if you are already a suki. They charge you unmetered rates so just use your nego skills. I like them because of the safety and courteousness of the drivers, you know they get taken cared of because they really make you feel like they take good care of you. In the length of using their service, they manage to keep the same drivers which tells a lot on how they are well taken cared of.

I have also use Xavierville as an alternative and I can say they are pretty good too. More practical since you just have to pay a pick up fee of 50 php on top of the meter.

Bad experiences with MGE, I do not recommend it. They have nasty drivers and annoying ones I never rode an MGE that had courteous drivers, they have always been a pain in the ass. It has always been a traumatic experience. I have always gotten to a tussle with their rude drivers.

I have yet to try the other ones in the list.

Fear is an illusion

There are certain things about my life that I do not know what to do about that I let God and life figure out for me no matter how I want to control that I keep at bay. I know truth but I still constantly ask where these truths are coming from with a mix of God given intuition to carry on days sorrounded by these "things" and "truths" that I am never certain about.

So vague huh?

Well I do not know what will happen to me in the future with money, this upcoming baby and relationships that's for certain.


Fear creeps up once in a while thinking about what I do now as oppose to my percieved  outcome of the future..but then again the truth is, as of this time, which is now, I am creating a step towards something for my future, the only question is, am I doing something that truly matters? As to this case, am I really asking questions that will give answers to my future? I think the answer is yes.



FUTUREPROOF MOTIVATION: 

So fear of the future, THE TRUTH of what I know is money problems in the future will be solved by continuous hardwork and perseverance. What can sabotage you "future" is unhealthy dependence and laziness. How I can figure out steps avoiding this item is up to me. My future is in my hands. God  me the cells to make my brain work and will continuously build up my strength by trusting his power as my anchor and motivation in life.

And baby, I am standing on my ground knowing that I have no control of our lives sweetheart, how you will come about or what would you make of me or what you would be in the course of your journey all I know is you deserve the best of me.

A moment of weakness: Motherhood Dramatics

Every now and then I go through waves of sadness thinking about the future.

But I know all of this would be washed away someday.

All I know is my hormones are raging and just right now alcohol nor cigarettes are sacrificed because there is a human being that needs to live inside of me. I am facing my own human weaknesses by my natural instincts without the suppressing of substances to make me temporarily happy and or fixed. Work is progressing internally. THAT is something to be happy about.

I have been surrendering to crying and sobbing when I need to even if it feels silly or no reason at all because I know If I didn't let it go, it will cause more problems for me, my heart and the baby.
