I just want to share to you my schedule for the week.  That is just the schedule of the sure things that will happen, however there are times that I would need to adjust because there are things needed to be taken care of that is somehow unplanned.

Things would probably change when classes are over. It’s gonna be summer time and we are planning to go to the beach. We also planned to let Hannah rest from ballet for the summer and enroll her to swimming – this will be good for her ashtma.

Seen my sched? What do you think?

In this blog, I wanted to share my daily experiences, but for now, I wanted to share my thoughts which I had because of my experience yesterday or the day before that.

I am the kind of person who accepts things and moves on. I also expect the same attitude from the people around me.

Most of the time people will tend to make me repeat myself, and that I HATE THE MOST. We learn from our experiences in life, and supposed to be – we move forward.

(Aaahh … my thoughts are not coming out right … this is not what I intend to say, but anyway … it is what is coming out of my head now, so I should continue.)

I think I am an open minded person and I do believe I am good. Everything I do is based on what I think is right and I have had en0ugh time thinking or deciding about it.

I am tired of doing the same mistakes over and over – again, I hate to repeat myself.

My parents spoiled me when I was young, but I was also young when I became a parent. Things happen for a reason, and it made me mature enough to face the realities of life. Though brought up as a spoiled brat, I am now independent. I only trust myself in building my future. I haven’t even included my parents treasures when thinking about it. So, for me, I am not as rich as most people would think I am, and honestly, my income now is just enough to pay my expenses and debts. But this does not stop me from dreaming big. I have 2 kids to bring up on my own and to add up to that, I will have to take care of my parents when they could no longer take care of themselves. The pressure on me is as huge as the whole world upon my shoulders, but I know I could make it. I could do it on my own!

So my message to you:

• Move forward
• Be independent
• Have faith

Good luck!

Anyway, I asked my client to put me on the night shift because my daughter needs my love and attention. Gladly, my client was soo good that they grant me my request.

So now, I am a family driver by day and an IT professional at night.

This is my first day as a night shift, and I just slept for 1 and a half hour today. I have 2 cups of coffee already, and I think I could survive this day. By the way, I have two trips to the CR already and on my second trip I spooked someone… hehehe – I guess she should thank me, because if she was sleepy, it was lost when she got spooked. I am not that scary – HAHAHA

A lot of people greeted me during my day which made me happy.

It was a stressful but fruitful day.

During lunch time, I didn’t ate at all because I went to my cousins in different locations to get something that my Mom asked (alright – it was money … hehehe but not for me … as I said, my MOM asked). I also bought a cake for my team to eat (bulaklakin by dunkin doughnut).

After office hours, I attended a Mass for blessings. Then I went to meet my friends. I didn’t invite many people, because I really intend to have enough bonding time with my closest friends. Most of the people I invited couldn’t make it because they have work. So, the number was even smaller, it was just 4 of us who bonded.

First stop, we went to Dos Maria’s to eat a Pizza, because they have the biggest Pizza that I have ever seen. Their Pizza was good, but the chicken wings were better. It was just 4 of us, so even if we tried our best to eat the whole Pizza, we couldn’t. We just ate half of it and I took the half for take out.

L-R: Ann, Me, Yen, Mai @ Dos Marias with the biggest Pizza

My friend Ann wanted to have dessert, so we went to Smallville to satisfy our taste. After eating our Tiramisu and Ice cream. Mai who is a sister of my friend Yen, informed me that there is an Electronic Bingo machine that I could play with (She knows I love it). I was tempted and because it was my birthday, I tried my luck. I won Php 500. Bleeeh … I did have my Good Luck!

After my Bingo win, we went for a walk and have stopped at Bluejays to drink coffee. Then there we had some mind blowing chit chat.

The waiter informed us that they were closing, so we went back to my car for me to drove them to their houses. My friend Ann was shocked to see that my car clock showed it was 1:00 AM (she thought it was broken), but when I checked my mobile phone, it was indeed past 1 AM.

On the long road going home, I was alone that morning. I was scared of ghosts, so I prayed and prayed that no one will show to greet me. I arrived home safely and here I am now

BTW, my friends bought gifts for me … heheh YEHEY … THANK YOU!

Today, was the first of me going back to the office for 2009. So far, everything went well during the office hours. I have given my gift to people I admire for being hardworking. Before I knew it, office was over and I have to ride a public jeepney going home.

In a jeep I have encountered being in an awkward situation. I know I am a big person, but I use my space respectfully while I am in public spaces, especially on public transportation such as jeep. However, the old man beside me doesn’t. I don’t want to be rude to him because he is an old man, but I was really uncomfortable being beside him. You may be asking why? It is because the jeep is crowded and here he is sitting on a slant position! Of course being slant means he may be occupying his space from his buttocks down but his body is occupying half of my upper space. I am a BIG woman and I sit properly. So, just to get out of that awkward situation, I let the old man have his slant sitting then I crouch to let him have all my upper space even lean on my back if he wills.

I was pissed, but I was calm and I have not eaten this evening, which means I have my diet today.

Now, I am knitting!

Today, I am back to work and my mind seems to be fresh. I will be sleeping early today and I guess it’s time for me to do so.

Take Care everyone.

In the office I eat my take out. I was slicing a longanisa (meat) and I was imagining a movie I have watched a long long time ago in where the owner of the restaurant is killing people to make them a burger that he serves in his restaurant. So, with that said, the whole time I was eating the longanisa, I was imagining it to be a human flesh. I tell you I am not grossed about it, I just keep on going.

After the longanisa, I had the hotcake. While I was slicing the hotcake I could remember the surgeons on Grey’s anatomy, slicing a human body and blood would come out. So, the whole time that was on my mind. Still, no gross feeling.

That I know doesn’t seem to be normal. So, am I crazy now or I just have been watching too much TV?

Speaking of TV, I just knew that the Denny and Izzie thing on Grey’s Anatomy would last until February 2009. Seriously? They are out of their minds, Denny is a GHOST! He is dead and should remain like that! He can have sex with Izzie? Yes, but I feel for Alex, so please come back to reality Grey’s Anatomy!

Note: The guy on grey shirt is a GHOST and that is Denny.

Poor Izzie, seems she is going crazy … haaay, What about me? Am I crazy or it is just normal I think like this?

I have written my testimonial about Blogging from Home to the author and she had posted it on her site. It is always nice to see your face on someone else’s blog.

What I learned from this book:

• To organize
• The use of social media
• Contests

I don’t want to be detailed about it, because I wanted you to find out for yourself what you will be learning from it.

CROCS

I was able to test the grip and usefullness of my Crocs today.

My car broke down and I pushed it to the side of the road with the help of three men. My Crocs shoes help get things done today and I was able to walk with ease and without ever fearing stepping on a shiny floor.

I have an expensive shoes, and I will not slide using it.

At the end of the day, my car was fixed.

Every Friday, I make it a point to go to Church and attend a Mass after work. Today, I was able to do that, plus I met a family friend. It has been a long time we haven’t seen each other. She is the mother of one of the closest friend I had during my elementary days at Assumption. She is my Tita Tess. Her husband died when we were still young and now that my friend is already working in another island here in the Philippines, she got herself a boyfriend. Indeed it is good to have someone to accompany you, because being alone could drive you insane.

Upon hearing this, my Mom kind of question “Why” Tita Tess would want to have a boyfriend now that she is old. It is expected of my Mom to think that, because she is the “conservative” type. Well, I told her that; “It is hard to live life alone. You should be thankful that you have your husband. Yes, Tita Tess is old and she may have a daughter that is professional now, but a partner is different from having a friend or a child.” I may be speaking in behalf of Tita Tess when I told her that, but I want to let her know, that it is the fact and it is also what I feel. I just hope she gets the message.

She has this mentality that since I have my kids I don’t need someone in my life. Well, I guess at this point of my life, I could say that I know more than my Mom does, in terms of having relationships and love.

Now the second part of this post; GOODBYE.

Today was the last day of someone who had a big impact on me in the company since he was hired. He is older than me, but he seems to act like he is younger. I could say that he is a child at heart in doing those foolish things, because he likes to play. Certainly not stupid kind of child-like attitude. Though his action, sometimes pisses me off. I know he have brains that work. I couldn’t say much about him, because I don’t know him well enough. I just know him as an old guy who acts like a child, that’s just it. Here’s his Goodbye post.

Good luck Big Guy! May you achieve your dreams in life.

Keep in touch! May utang ka pa sa akon.
