2009 Queen of Hearts

I would like to Thank everyone who voted for my little girl Taliyah Sablan Bocago. Because of all of you, she won 2009's Queen of Hearts! I am so happy for her and she is happy too. This is her 2nd picture contest that she has won. The first was in 2006when she won the cutest kid contest. She was so adorable. And still is. Again, Thank You all!



2006 Cutest Kid


2009 Queen of Hearts

Aunty Nene:(

Just wanted to express my feelings!

My dad's sister "Nene" passed away a few days ago. It has been tragic for our family. She was the youngest of eight children. She was always so happy and was full of jokes. I loved spending my time with her. I could just sit around with her and we could joke all day. She was so much fun and I will truly miss those days. She was suppose to come yesterday to Saipan(she lives in the Philippines) to visit the family with her husband. She passed away on Sunday. I could not believe my ears when I got that "we have bad news" phone call. I was hoping and praying it would not be that, but as my cousin said "Aunty Nene passed away" I was speechless. I didnt know what to say. Until this day, I still don't believe it is true. How could this happen? She never mentioned being sick or anything. But little did we know she was. I will never forget that phone call. At night while we have the rosary, I can't look at her picture without tearing up. It hurts so much to know she is gone and we will not be joking like we use to. We could have been doing that yesterday if she had come to Saipan.

When she is here in Saipan we always play Bingo. She loves it so much. I love it. We only play when she is here. Now I dont know when we will ever play it again. I use to always sit beside or across her because she would joke and laugh about everything, which made her so joyfully fun. *tear* I still can't believe she is gone. I didnt even get the chance to say goodbye.

I will miss you and will NEVER forget you aunty nene. I love you always!

What "Irks" You?!?!?!

Well, I have been feeling a bit frustrated, at times. Especially when things "irk" me. There are a few things I can't stand but I put up with it anyway. So I just wanted to express it the best way i know how, writing about it. Here Goes Nothing.

1)Nagging!
-I admit, I nag but not alot. Maybe about the dishes, but I only say "Can someone please wash the dishes" or "Please wash your dishes when you are done eating." Minor things like that. But I have been nagged on constantly that I just can't stand it. I mean, what makes someone feel so happy about nagging, nagging, and nagging? I just dont get it. I get so irritated that I just want to burst out yelling, but I just keep silent and complain in my head. I try so hard not to start arguments. Yes, at times I would say something to that person or persons, but still they continue to NAG! Its the kind of nagging when they want to have the last word. Doesn't that "irk" you? Well, it annoys me BIG time! I just wish they could sit in front of a mirror and nag the way they do, and I am so sure they would annoy themselves.

2)Always wanting to be right!
-We have all done this. But when we figure we are wrong, most of us live up to it, but some people will NOT stop even if they are wrong. I go through this alot. I know this person who always wants to be right. She/He has argued with me & my other half constantly. Saying she/he knows this and that. Saying, Yes Yes Yes or No No No. What would it take for some people to just be like "I was wrong?"

3)Asking for help(always), but igonoring the help.
-I know sounds weird but trust me, I know what this feels like. I am a big helper. I help those who need my help alot. This one person has asked me for help since the day I met them. I have helped this person more than anyone else has. I probably get a phone call 3 times a week asking for help. Like: "Can I borrow $ for gas?", "Do you have pampers?", "Man, We dont have this, can I have some?", "Can you take me to this place?", "Can I borrow your car?", or "Can you help me with my resume or sending out my resume?" Yup! All of this! But recetly I have quit. Helping so many times lets them feel that they don't have to do anything! I sent out the resumes, they landed and interviews, but did not go to the interviews nor did they call the place to let them know they can't make it. I only helped because I care & would like to help them acheive a better life. But I guess my help is not worth it. I am not trying to be mean, but I can't help those who don't want to help themselves.

Well, this is just to name a few!
