So, I was going to my day job when I found out I have no coins to pay for the jeep. I took my Php 500 and gave it to the driver. He gave me back my money because he has no change. I told him to just have it change on a gasoline station. He answered me angrily – there’s no open gas station yet, because it’s too early. Well, upon passing a gas station, the driver was wrong. I just went down at the gas station for him to see that it is open!

Well, that’s my free ride this morning. I guess that’s a gift for me from that angry driver for being a Mom for 5 years now.

Happy Birthday my Hannah. I love you!

Of course a chit chat moment came, and she told me a crazy story that would simplify how weird and scary the world we live in now.

She hopped in a wrong bus and when she realized it, she went down. She was having a hard time looking for a public transportation that would bring her to the apartment in where she was staying when she noticed a motorbike slowing down on her side. At first she thought that the man on the motorbike wants to ask for direction, so she stopped and looked at him. The man asked her to ride on with him. (Helloooo, what the hell was that guy thinking? He is a stranger and so you don’t expect a stranger to go on and ride with you, unless that person is stupid enough to do so.) My cousin then got scared and walked away from that motorbike. She then saw a police, and she thought that if she sees the motorbike again, she would immediately inform the police. She looked around and haven’t seen the motorbike, and she was relieved. But then, she was shocked when she saw the person in the motorbike was walking towards her. She looked around looking for the police, but she didn’t see him anymore. So, she just ran away from that weird man and get herself to the apartment. Luckily she was able to get to the apartment safely.

It’s just scary, how people would do this. Anyway, my cousin said, if the guy is good looking she could just hopped in the motorbike without question asked. Hehehe but no, she’s just kidding. It’s weird right? I could not imagine someone would be so stupid to do that.

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?

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.

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.

I am went to church and prayed as my usual Friday schedule. I also included it to my prayers that the warning light won’t put me in danger or in any awkward situation. Thankfully Our Creator always hears my prayer and gave me a guardian angel to watch over me as I go home.

My mom told me to have it fixed tomorrow, and I hope we could find time for it.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day because it would be the birthday of my first God daughter and she would be having her debut.

This is the full story:

Yesterday, my daughter and I together with our helper went to Robinsons to buy a webcam and a cake. We then went home after that. Upon arriving at the Molo Plaza, the warning started blinking. We were supposed to stop over on the side of a street in where Litson Manok is being cooked, but I told our helper it is better to stop over on my cousins store then just walk to buy a Litson Manok. As we arrived at my cousins store, the blinking just stopped. We bought a Chicken for our dinner and went home, never again did that blinking happen.

I thought it was because my fuel is running low, so it could be the reason.

Today, I went to SM City and have a charged my car full tank, because the gas station is just near SM City. I went to buy diapers for my daughter, then went home. I took a different route, by passing Mandurriao, but since I will be going to Oton, I would certainly pass Molo. When I did pass Molo Plaza, again the blinking started. It got me scared because at two nights, it blinked on the same area. I kept on going, I didn’t stop on my cousins store. The blinking stopped a few meters away from my cousins store and again it was just plainly weird.

Usually I get this warning when my car died because of a fuel problem. The main reason is that the fuel pump is not working because of some blockage or dirt within it. This time, my car didn’t die on me and it was running normally. So, it means it is not my fuel because I had it full tank. I wonder what could the reason be.

Tomorrow, I would observe the same thing, if it will blink on the same area.

Scary!
