ianah's 2012 WISHLIST


1. Sudoku book



2. Jigsaw Puzzle (1000 piece puzzle)



3. Toy Poodle (yes, yes the fluffy one)



4. Bright red or yellow bag (yung kasya ang mga law books)



5. Roller skates



   PS: any gadget (tablet or phone) na may World Grand Prix or SpeedCarII na game

From the time na inutusan kami ng boss ko to make a wishlist, I started listing things na so ‘ianah-ish’. To my surprise, my officemates’ wishlists include gas range, bed mattress, rice cooker, electric fan, etc. and I was like, OMG! Ano to kumikitang kabuhayan? I read my list again, crumpled it, and napaisip tuloy if ano ba ang kulang sa bahay.

People close to me know that I don’t know how to ask for expensive things, coz they know I can be happy even with little purple stuffs. I don’t even know what I want to ask. I remember two years ago, I made my first Christmas wishlist. And I got all the things I listed there; however, may naging kapalit lahat which is very depressing. So last year, I did not bother to make any list, but promised myself to have a happy holiday. Indeed, last year’s Christmas was really, really great!

And now, since I am obliged to prepare such list, so there it is – purpleless and shoeless. Yet again, it includes petty things but God knows, I'm dying to own any of those!  In fact, I’ve been wishing for those since dati pa, kaso wala akong makita and wala akong time para maghanap sa mga stuffs na yun. Hoping that you’ll find it for me, I owe you the greatness of the 2013 then talaga!

Purpleless and shoeless. People tend to associate me with cute pumps, purple butterflies, colourful paraphernalia, princesses and glitters, and everything gay. I understand why after reading my list you are wondering there is something missing in it. I know it is not so me not to include those stuffs. It is not because I don’t like them anymore, but it is more of I want to buy it myself so that I can personally shop for it and I can surely wear and flaunt it. Just give me the money. Yet, I appreciate it if you can’t help but tolerate my gayness.

I know I’ve never been good this year, but I traded a number of good things. So maybe that qualifies why I deserve to have my wish granted. Thank you in advance and have a happy holiday. J

Una Oda a mi Futuro Hijo...

I remember when my Ob-Gyne told me that I am left with a polycystic right ovary (that means I am not producing mature eggs) and if I want to have a baby, I should be pregnant within a year from the time of my surgery (July 2014). It made me lose hope of being a mother at some point, I just prayed to have one, even just one. I remember the moment when I used a breathing device to receive oxygen and to stabilize my high blood pressure after having an altitude sickness, while your Daddy and I were in El Tatio Geysers Field in San Pedro de Atacama. Little did I know, it will be the start of our new journey together. I remember the time when the toilet bowl became my bestfriend everytime I vomit every after 30 minutes (or sometimes less), 24 hours a day, for three weeks straight. Sleepless nights, no food intake, homesickness, extreme nausea - these are a few I need to endure during those times. I saw the horror in your Daddy's face and I know he was as scared as I am. I even rememb...

THE MUST DOS IN DOING BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY: REALITIES OF CHINA-CHILE TRADE TRANSACTIONS

One of the major setbacks in doing business is the risk of being defrauded. Most often than not, fraud cases are caused by unguided dealings and lack of extensive research of potential business partners, especially in doing transactions internationally. Being the only Chinese law firm in Santiago, Chile, fraud cases comprised most of the cases that our law firm handled. Sadly, Chinese businessmen – both big and small – are being made victims of their so-called partners from Chile. One of our cases involves a big Chinese company ABC, importing Durvillaea Antarctica from a Chilean company XYZ. The need for the products is urgent that ABC entered into a Sale Contract involving a huge quantity of products and made payments right away to XYZ. However, not a single piece of product arrived in China and XYZ disappeared and in no way can be contacted.   In doing business, the first thing to do is to research . And this does not include solely researching the market, but as w...

The Infamy of Olympus

The ball gradually disappears as darkness falls down, the goal post on the other side of the field blurs, and the flock of egrets flies West. It is already nightfall. It is impossible to see the ball and deliver that winning kick. Indeed, to score a goal is unattainable. Yet, I and the rest of my team cannot leave the football field that even light rain showers cannot stop us. The field seems like a newly-plowed rice field already. Football shoes are swathed by sludge. Everybody is soaked in sweat. We spent the entire afternoon practicing for our football game tomorrow. I know I am in the best team. But why do I sense defeat, sort of a bad news, is coming? My feet are sored, my jersey shirt is dirty, my hair is a mess, and I smell stinky… yet I had so much fun. I love the wind, softly rebelling against my face and unsympathetically playing with my hair, as I run fast for the ball. It gives me a certain feeling of freedom. It was so liberating that I enjoyed it a lot. I look at myse...
