February is the love
month and now it's Valentine's Day!
There is a different kind of sweetness in the
air. It’s romance everywhere. People tend to be more romantic, and more
generous in February. It’s that time of the year when men don’t mind splurging
on their “amore” and the women go crazy obsessing on which shoes would match
her red strapless dress. Everywhere I go, I see couples either snuggling
close to each other, or dreamily looking into each other’s eyes like lovesick
puppies. At every turn, I see hearts, hearts, and more hearts, as if it is the
only shape that existed. I'm amazed at how men become the most romantic
person in the world for a day.

I am just one of those
unlucky women who never got anything for V-day when I was younger, much more
being asked on a date. Only when I reached 23 that my Valentine was exciting as
someone who has won the sweepstakes.
It’ s been years since
I celebrated Valentine’s Day in a special way, meaning, with a date. For years,
it has been like any ordinary day. But two years ago, it became Single’s
Awareness Day ( this is a nice way of calling dateless on Valentine’s), and it
has become like a curse that keeps on recurring year after year. But believe it
or not, I don’t really mind.
And I guess, the curse
still followed me this year, so it’s gonna be Single’s Awareness Day for me
still, and I’ll celebrate it with a lot of self-love, time to pamper myself.
Going dateless on a V-day can also be fun, you get to have some well-deserved
“me-time” or you can celebrate it with family and friends. Love is universal
anyway, it doesn’t always have to be romantic.

photo with the two movies I love.
Meanwhile, if you still find yourself dateless on Valentine’s day, and you still spend it at home tasting every flavor of Magnum, or a tub of Häagen-Dazs and crying over movies like Sleepless in Seattle or You’ve Got Mail (sorry, I’m a Tom Hanks and a Meg Ryan fan), although this is a very tempting thing to do, let me remind you that we are now in the year 2014. Gone are the days that we have to spend the day sulking. If you’re on a tight budget, try Cornetto . :)
Girl, it’s Single’s
Awareness Day! Celebrate being single, because believe me, once you get
married, you’d miss it a lot. Go out, have a relaxing massage, get that hair
color you’ve always wanted but too afraid to try, put on a red lipstick and
paint the town red! Guys would be ogling at you and wonder why they didn’t ask
you out in the first place.
Being dateless on
Valentines does not define our whole love life. It is merely a chance to
experience and enjoy our awesomeness without relying on a man for happiness. Of
course, it would be a different experience to have one, but then let’s not
stress ourselves with things that we do not have control over. So what if your
office crush chose your office mate even though you think you are better
looking than her, he is probably blind. You don’t want to date someone who does
not have taste in women, do you?
Early Valentine roses
But, I digress, even
though I have been in two big failed relationships, I am still not giving up on
love. I will forever be a romantic at heart, even though there were
really times when my heart was crushed to the ground, stomped on and left me
broken , I still believe in its magic. I know that someday, my heart will open
up its door once more to the one who deserves me. I can’t really tell when, as
I don’t have control over God’s will , but I have a strong gut-feel that it’s
going to be soon.
Until then, I still
have time to enjoy Valentine without having to obsess which clothes to wear,
red or black. Now, pass me the ice cream, with a cherry on top. So what's the
point in Valentine? There is no point.
Keep the faith,

Dear Readers,
If you have been a follower and have been reading my blog, you know what I have been through. The most challenging thing I had to do in my 30+ years of existence is surviving Haiyan. As one of the survivors of the world's strongest typhoon recorded for 2013, I can say that this is a second life for me. A rebirth.
Because of this, I have decided to let go of my former life, of my past, and continue living as a whole new being. With this, I leave all my memories of the past here in this blog. You are still welcome to read my old posts though.
I have imported this blog into my own domain. As you can see, I have a new domain name! Yay!
Please continue to follow and read my posts. You never know what lessons you might get from reading through my experiences.
With this, I would also start to post using my alter ego, Eve. I think that by using an alter ego, I will be able to differentiate the personalities in my posts. No, I don't have DID (Double Identity Disorder). :) Thank God.
What you can now do, if you wish to continue following and reading my posts, is to add me on Google+ or just copy the RSS feed in the Eve Diaries blog and you can read my posts in a feed reader of your choice.
Thank you so much for the great 5 years of blogging in this community. Thank you for laughing and crying with me. Thank you for reading or rather listening to my countless rants on almost anything.
Hoping to share with you in the next 5 years to come!
Thank you very much.

It’s been 3 months since
Haiyan changed our lives forever. My life made a 360 degree turn. What was once a laid-back lifestyle , one that have you home at 7 pm and just enjoy working at the comforts of your home, to a lifestyle that brings random out of town trips.
I know I wasn’t able to do so much to help the city, and that makes me feel sadder. I was given the opportunity to work with the Chinese Red Cross as an interpreter, through the recommendation of someone, to help them with the construction of some facilities. Apparently, there was no one they knew who could fully understand Chinese Mandarin, since most of our Chinese folks back there was taken by the complexity of the language, since most, if not all , spoke Fokkien. I know I said yes, but at the last minute, I backed out because I could not bear to leave my kids for a very long time.
I was also supposed to fly in with a journalist friend, Nikko Dizon of the Philippine Daily Inquirer to help her with her outreach program , distributing noche buena packages with Jadway Go of Leyte Park Hotel. But then, I backed out the last minute because the schedules of C130 flights made us decide to take a commercial flight out of Tacloban on the 24th of December. Knowing how sometimes commercial flights can be unreliable at times, I didn’t want to take the risk of flying on the day before Christmas, for the mere fact that I was afraid I might end up not being home for Christmas Eve. My kids would be very disappointed if I am not with them on that special day. Have I been just selfish for not sacrificing time to help out my fellow Leytenos? I ask myelf this all the time. But then again, I wanted to put my children first before anything else that I wanted to do.
When I was finally able
to go back to Tacloban for a couple of days to check the situation, I was
able to clean out my closet and the kids’ and gave out most of our stuff to
our former neighbors in Old Road . A pedicab driver, who had been helping us
with little errands when we were still living there was lucky enough to bring
home 2 sacks of used clothing and a box full of toys which my children don’t
play with anymore. That, I think was something I could afford to do and be
happy about it.
Maybe this is one of the
reasons why I was spared from the wrath of Typhoon Haiyan. I know this is
another one of God’s blessings. How many chances will I be given to become
partner in a promising company? I know that this is the last chance that I
got to build a better future for my children, I am not getting any younger.
But, it hurts me so much to see the sad look on my children’s faces when I tried to tell them about my plans. I’ve been putting them in schools and whether intentionally or not, I would pull them back from that school and start them in new school again. My eldest daughter is in Grade 5, and she’s been in 5 different schools already, a new one for every year. It is emotionally tiring for her because she has not made any permanent friends yet because we keep on moving.
Personally, I am also tired of moving from one place to another. In 3 months time, we have been renting in 2 different places already. I owe it to my children to give them a stable place that they can call home, and a school that they can call their Alma Mater. I can’t help but think about these considerations even though I have lifted it all up to God. I need your prayers, to help enlighten my mind, to make the best decision for our future. I don’t want to make a mistake anymore.

I know , I know, my title is
deceiving. It has nothing to do with me being a diva. Sure I can sing, but not
in the likes of Beyonce or Mariah Carey. I have my own style. :)
There is a big event that me
and the team are preparing for. It is the birthday of our company chairman’s
daughter. It is a very special birthday because the couple had waited decades
for the baby to come. It was an elusive dream for them since both of them may
have something medically that keeps them from having children. And now that the
baby is celebrating her first year, the couple decided to spend a fortune on
the baby’s birthday celebration.
One of the highlights of the
birthday, as in any other birthdays, is the AVP. We have planned on telling the
story of how the couple met the baby and how they became one family.This party
would also serve as the announcement of her adoption. And so, with the AVP, we
wanted it to be special. We wanted to hire someone professional to do the
voice-over. Suddenly, I remembered my former boss and colleague in the English
Proficiency Center which I used to work for (it has closed down) Ms. Carmen
Cabiles.
 |
| Ms. Carmen Cabiles, my former English Proficiency teacher and boss. :) |
Ms. Carmen, or Car as I call
her do voice-overs for commercials, phone recordings and trainings. Good thing
she was available on the dates that we chose. She had already met my other boss
and it would be a good thing for them to work together.
My other co-worker, Ms. Lily
Nerias, our Executive Marketing Manager and a member of the board, is the one
incharge of the technicalities of the event. A colleague of her
introduced her to Ms. May of SoundWeavers in Makati. Jerry, the sound
engineer is also the owner.
 |
| Carmen with Jerry, sound engineer and owner of SoundWeavers Recording Studio |
So come Friday and we were
all set to go. Funny thing that Car was having a sore throat that morning and
was afraid she’d lose her voice. So she just kept quiet the whole day, afraid
to strain her voice. We bought her a warm Mint Tea from Starbucks so
she’d be able to soothe her throat while waiting for one of our other team
member.
Inside the studio, we were
like kids,taking turns in wearing the headset, for pictorial purposes. More
because of curiosity, or vanity to put it right. I think. :)
 |
| Yes! That's me! :) |
But then it was only because
Jerry, the sound engineer/owner was so accommodating and maybe he understood
newbies (except for Car). He allowed us to take pictures inside the recording
booth, and he was so easy to work with. Three samples and recordings, and we
were done.
Car on the other hand, has
the smoothest voice I have ever heard. She has a way of projecting her voice
that makes it so cool to hear. One of her projects was the Oreo Strawberry
commercial. She did the voice over at the end of the commercial. Being a voice
talent can also be difficult as you have to take care of your voice. And the number
one mortal enemy for them is the changing weather.
So, after two hours of
recording, drinking tea in between and crying (yes, the momma was already
crying even though there is still two weeks to go). It’s so touching to see,
amusing even, to see a grown up woman cry every time she hears the American
Tail’s movie soundtrack, “Somewhere Out There”.
Throat clearing, stuffy
noses and puffy eyes later. we call it a wrap.
If you would be in need of a
voice talent, Ms Carmen can be contacted through herFacebook
account or through this blog. You won’t regret it.She’s excellent!
If you want to sing like a
pro and record your own music, then SoundWeavers is the place for you. Aside
from their reasonable rate, at P1,250/hour, plus the accommodating owners and
sound engineers, you’ll get the best for half the price of what the other
recording companies charge.

The year has started right for me.
Two years ago, before I left for Tacloban, I was asked to become a part of an exciting new company which has me as one of the top honchos. But since I was more keen on having my children back, winning the custody battle than my career, I put my everything on hold and put the children’s interest before mine.

| Lobby of Maxim Hotel inside Resorts World Manila |
One thing that the super typhoon Haiyan gave me, was a mandatory leave of absence from all the hiatus that was already going on in my life. I needed it, the soul-searching, just not in the way that it was given to me. But months after that event, I am still in a confused state as to where everything is leading to. But instead of stressing about it, I lift everything to God, and surrender to His plans.
 |
| Maxim's Restaurant |
In order for me to satisfy or appease my hunger for an adventure, or for change, I decided to reconnect with the company that I was involved in. And here I am now, as Managing Director for TF Events and Resources, a travel consultancy, events planning company, I am up to the challenge of making a change in my life and in my career.
And so for my first
assignment as Managing Director, I have to represent the company in meetings
and events which is one of the main responsibility. The first thing that I did
when I assumed the position was to attend the 1st General Membership and
Business Meeting of the NITAS (Network of Independent Travel Agencies and
Services) which our company was a member of and product presentation of some of
our suppliers. The event was held at the prestigious members-only lifestyle
club, the
Genting Club inside Resorts
World Manila, designed particularly for Manila’s elite. Though it was not
the first time I’ve been to Resorts World Manila, it was the first time that I
was able to go past beyond the mall and casino and went inside one of the
exclusive amenities for V.I.P’s. Some parts of the club was off limits to
picture-taking especially the high-rollers club so I was very careful not to
break that rule.The venue was sponsored by Resorts World Manila. The sponsors were given opportunity to present their products and among them were Marriott Hotel, Genting Star Tourism Academy, Resorts World Entertainment, which will be launching their latest musical production after Cinderella, Priscilla Queen of the Dessert,( I will do a separate article for it), Star Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line.
I was really looking forward towards the raffle.

The sponsors were given opportunity to present their products and among them were Marriott Hotel, Genting Star Tourism Academy, Resorts World Entertainment, which will be launching their latest musical production after Cinderella, Priscilla Queen of the Dessert,( I will do a separate article for it), Star Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line.
I was really looking forward towards the raffle.

Keeping the faith,
