Today marks one of the most important day in my life… The day I gave my heart to my better half. It’s our 10th Year anniversary! I didn’t imagine 10 years have passed really, It’s like only yesterday.

Thank you Paws for the love and care. For being a good husband and father to our one and only daughter. For being there through ups and down. I know we have lots of differences so please be patience with me as I am to you especially pag my tantrums, may mali mali moment…. for sure you’re use to it na hehehe

Thank God for giving another year for us. May you continue to bless and guide us in our future plans. Please Lord grant our big wishes… another cute and healthy baby. Thank you Lord!

My daughter Kat is celebrating her birthday today! Thank you Lord for another year!

Time flies really so fast… 4 more years and I have a teenager na. Grabe! I’m not getting any younger

I wish you good health and happiness on your birthday anak… sorry for not granting your dream gift -Ipad2. I hope you understand, we need money for more important things. I won’t promise you this time coz you’d always say that I always broke my promise. Just always remember I want the best for you and that’s why Dad and I are working hard to give you a good future.

Be a good girl! Wag masyadong brat… I love you so much! Happy Birthday!

One Lovely Blog

It’s been a while since the last time I tagged for an award or sort of recognition from a fellow blogger. I used to do this during my 1st year of blogging, during the time when I’m more active in blogging (newbie days) and have lots of time in interacting with other bloggers.

I was surprise when I saw e-mail in my inbox notifying me that I’m being tagged by a A Single Mom’s Blog. I think it’s time for me to explore the blog sphere and make new friends. Sounds exciting!

Thanks you Pinaymomonline for visiting my blog.

Happy New Year to All! ~~Better late than never~~

ana_banana — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 09:55:51 +0000

As a way of helping our Kababayan’s in CDO and Iligan City affected by Bagyong Sendong, I organized Shirt for a Cause. T-shirts provided by Printsonalized.com.

As of today I already sold 30 pcs. of Personalized Shirts and still counting. I hope more T-shirts will be sold before the month end.

If you are in Abu Dhabi you can help also by buying Printsonalized Shirt. Just call the contact details in the poster or you can drop e-mail to me analynalbesa@gmail.com.

Nakatulong ka na may T-Shirt ka pa?

Update: I sold out 50 pcs of Shirts for 10 days (December 20-30, 2011). Donations was sent to Philippine Embassy through Bayanihan Council.

Thank you for those people who supported my Shirt for a Cause!

Tiangge Shoppers

ana_banana — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:52:06 +0000

Ngayong nalalapit na naman ang kapaskuhan, uso na naman ang mga Christmas Bazaar at nagkalat ang mga Christmas Sale sa ating mga paboritong malls. Hindi yata kumpleto ang pasko ng Pinoy kung hindi makakapag Christmas Shopping, likas na sa ating mga Pinoy ang pagiging mapagbigay pag pasko bukod pa sa kabi kabila ang mga Christmas Parties and hindi mawawala syempre ang exchange gift or monitor monita.

Ang mga bazaar o tiangge ang paboritong shopping destination natin bukod sa mura na eh makakatawad ka pa. Dito ka rin makakakuha ng mga hard to find items, kung gusto mo ng unique na gift para sa iyong love ones.

Sa almost 7 years na pagsali ko sa mga sa mga bazaar (5 years sa Pinas and 2 years dito sa Abu Dhabi) halos naencounter ko na yata ang halos lahat ng klase ng buyer / customer. Nais kong share ko sa inyo ang iba’t ibang klase ng shoppers and kanilang attitude sa pagbili. Ikaw? Alin ka sa mga nasa listahan sa ibaba?

Mr./Ms. Tawad – Ito yung buyer na mahilig tumawad. Maaring guilty ang karamihan sa atin dito, syempre sino ba naman ang ayaw makamura di ba? Ang mga ugaling ganito ay likas na sa ating mga Pinoy. Pag ganitong Christmas season Divisoria ang best friend ng mga mamimili. Dito kase talagang uso ang tawaran portion

Mr./Ms. Kuripot– Katulad ni Mr./Ms Tawad napakahilig din tumawad ng buyer na ito. Sila yung tipong kulang na lang eh hingin nila ang paninda mo. Hanggang sa may mapipiga sa’yo eh siguradong uubusin ang lakas mo sa pakikipagtawaran. Sila yung mas madalas na mabusisi at matanong tungkol sa produkto mo at bandang huli hindi rin bibili pag hindi mo binigay sa tawad na gusto nila.

Free willy – Ito naman ang buyer mahilig sa free items, free taste, free gifts buy one take one. Sila yung mahilig sa mga naka bundle na items halimbawa ice cream na may libreng apa at sprinkle, yung keso na may libreng pang gadgad, alak na may libre t-shirt, sigarilyong may libreng lung cancer (loljoke)

Silent buyer – Itong buyer na ito yung tipong nagmamasid lang… parang may sariling mundo kadalasan ayaw nila ng may susunod sunod na sales staff sa kanila. Ang nakakagulat sa kanila pag may nagustuhan items walang tanong tanong tungkol sa items walang tawad tawad voila ibalot mo na at baka magbago ang isip nya.

Fancy buyer - Sila naman ang mga buyer na madaling maatract sa mga magagandang items regardless of the price basta nagustuhan nila ang design siguradong hindi yan aalis sa shop mo ng walang bitbit. Kadalasang babae ang mga buyer na ganito and nasa mataas na antas ng pamumuhay.

Money Pacquiao - Sila naman ang mga mahihilig bumili in bulk o mahilig mamakyaw ng tinda para ire-sell or ipamumod sa kanilang constituents. Sila yung mga mahilig sumideline /dumiskarte sa mga opisina sa pamamagitan ng pagtitinda ng hulugan o gives gives.

Storyteller - Sila naman ang mga customer na napakamakwento tipong naikwento na nya ang buong buhay nya bago pa sila makapili ng gusto nilang bilhin. Ang mga tulad nila eh tumatagal ng 30 mins hanggang 1 hour silang nakatambay sa shop mo. Madalas na nakakaaliw ang mga taong katulad nila lalo na kung hindi peak na araw pero nakakainis rin minsan pag nakakistorbo na.

So far yan pa lang naman ang mga naencounter ko, for sure marami pang buyer na umaatitude ang masasalamuha ko pa in the near future. Pero regardless ko ano mang buying behavior meron sila kailangan pa rin ang good customer service. Tandaan sila ang bumubuhay sa business mo kaya wala tayong karapatang mag inarte sa kung ano ang mga gusto nila. Masarap din kase sa pakiramdam na nasatisfy sila or nagustuhan nila yung products na ibenebenta mo, siguradong babalik balikan ka nyan at malamang sila na ang susi sa pagyaman mo. hahaha

Happy Shopping sa inyong lahat! Maligayang Pasko

Holiday!

I will be having my 10 days holiday starting tomorrow yahooo… I applied for 3 days leave in my office in conjunction to the 3 days public holiday announced by UAE Government in celebration of Eid Al Adha. Since I don’t have a plan of going home this year, I’m thinking of what activities or gimiks should I do, I don’t want to spend my holiday eating and sleeping at home.

There’s a lot of tempting offer / promotions from different Airlines, Travel & Tours and Event Company here in UAE. If only I have enough money I definitely avail them all. You can take a look of the following maybe you might want to enjoy these offers:

Etihad is having a 50% off in economy flight going to Philippines and other key destinations. The usual 2,500 AED more or less fare to Pinas now you can get for only for 1,240. Sounds very exciting! Hurry… you can still have till 12 midnight today to book the flight.

Be sure to check the terms and condition.

Cobone has various offer for Eid holidays… You can check their website for great deals. I’m an avid fan of Cobone I bought lots of offers from this site and really enjoyed it.

There’s a lot of online discount site available online to enjoy your holiday with friends and families, you may visit the following site and check great deals:

http://www.groupon.ae/, http://www.yallabanana.com/, http://www.gonabit.com/

I’m still contemplating on what to to do this weekend. Need to check my budget if I am able to buy the above offer or not. After all we can still enjoy holiday without spending too much! Maybe spending a day swimming at Corniche Open Beach or Picnic with family and friends at the park.
