Random thoughts during the wee hours

** I went to the gym again yesterday afternoon and enjoyed a 2-hour-workout. I felt proud when I climb the overpass in Cubao with ease.

** Going to the gym made me cautious on what I eat. I saw the calories I lost when I spend 40 minutes in the treadmill, and then seeing those calories come back when I eat unhealthy food. Nasty.

** Some say that Fit n’ Right drink has more calories which leaves me nothing but water–which is good right.

** Work is still the same besides some changes next week, including my schedule on Monday. I was assigned to go to work as early as 4PM on Monday. Which means, I cannot join the birthday dinner of the SIL’s hubby on the same day. Darn.

** I received an email from PAGE.PH informing me that my account has already been set-up. Oh goodie! Thank you! Thank you PAGE.PH.

** I emailed some friends whose been using WP for a long time, and ask how to go about setting up my account and all. It was harder than I thought. Pulling my hair. I got some advise from aiMzster, a WP user and site also sponsored by PAGE.PH. She pointed me to the right path and I hope can get this done within 3-4days. Tsk!

** I am currently downloading movies on the macho lappy. I don’t know why it’s taking awhile for Hancock to finish up. Maybe the seeder is offline–I dunno. And the Internet connection is quite slow on where I’m at that makes the two other movies I’m downloading is again taking awhile. ETA is 3days! Give a break! But I don’t want to complain because the connection we have is only good for surfing and chatting. Lips are sealed now.

** The little kiddo is crazy about movies! I think we’ve watched Monsters, Inc for 3 consecutive days! I would instantly fall asleep but the little kiddo would point my face at the TV’s direction and say, “Mommy, wake up and watch!”

** Today: Saturday. We’ll be going to Cavite for the kids’ (little kiddo and my niece) swimming time. I hope I have the will power to last for the day.

** I still can’t help but think about the Jansport backpack I want. Tsk. And to think I still need another bag for the macho lappy. Double Tsk.

** I received an email from my two sister abroad and it’s so nice to know that they are doing so well right now. My other sister is eating and sleeping well. Yey!

** I’m STILL waiting for our beach getaway with the L2SMOC’s anniv. Hubby and I plans to bring the little kiddo with us. And I’m so excited.

** Sometimes I think I have soo many things to do, but have soo little time.

** Received this parting quote from my sister A…

“Life can’t give me joy and peace; it’s up to me to WILL IT.
Life just gives me time and space; it’s up to me to FILL IT.”

 

Manic Monday

Everybody seems to be rushing every Monday morning. Maybe that’s why they call it Manic Monday. Well, Monday always reminds me to go to work and it hits me like a knife every time I think about it. Sometimes, I wonder when will this end. When will I stop working. Obviously, I can answer my question. One, if I’m old and gray… Two, if I’m sick (knock on wood) and third, if I will be a billionaire overnight–I wish. Sometimes it’s easy to wish for the things that we don’t have. And that we by pass the more important things in life. That money can’t buy. Let me name a few…

~ Beautiful sunrise and sunset.
~ Unexpected kiss and hug from you daughter/son.
~ Sweet smile from a total stranger.
~ Quality time with family.
~ Barkada outings.
~ Dinner out with friends that we haven’t seen for 10 years.
~ Sweet text messages from your husband/wife.
~ Saying… “I love you”

Let’s learn to appreciate life. Love with condition. Talk without bad intention. Give without a reason and care without expectation.

 

Cured

Friends. They are also one of the reason why I’m still intact and sane. They are my shock absorber and stress tablets. Moments spent with them are irreplaceable and treasured.

Me and my friends spend movie and dinner time yesterday. The movie was great! Hancock. Will Smith is the best. We chatted and kept ourselves updated. How I love to talk, listen and laugh with them. Right now, I feel light and happy. It’s like someone cured the stress and frustrations I had for the last couple of weeks.

How I wish we can do this more often. But right now, I’m thankful. Thank you.

 

Cloudy

July 3, 2008 + 6:35 AM

It’s strangely cloudy today. The sun is up but the sky is covered with very light gray cloud. The wind is slightly cooler than usual. I did not broke a single sweat, despite the long walk from Aurora blvd to the bus stop bound to Monumento. The sky looks like it wanted to cry, but it can’t. Strange. As I walk the overpass in front of MCU, I noticed the same vendors selling goods. Then savoring the view of the busy highway down and eyeing the statue close by. I reached my usual jeepney ride bound to Bulacan, when we got a light shower of rain upon reaching North Expressway.

As I waited for the next stop, I grabbed a pen so I could scribble some notes. Unfortunately, I don’t have a clean paper so I used the back of the receipt which I got from yesterday’s dvd purchase for the kiddo. Which reminds me, I may need to stuck a pen and a small notepad in my handbag from now on.

But then there’s my cellphone. I don’t want to use it because it’s crappy-make in China device. Besides, it only attracts unwanted culprits. I’m thinking of getting the iPhone 3G when it comes out. Oh I have to check my budget for that. I’m sure it’s expensive. Tsk.

But then I prefer the traditional pen and paper because it’s so nice to see the entry as a whole despite my ugly handwriting.

As I reach my destination, I patiently watched the highway for car and people all making their way to work, while for me–I’m going home. I might sleep soundly today because the skies are cloudy.

 

Wondering…

I work on graveyard shift that’s why I see the sun rise almost everyday. I’ve been in this field for more than 5 years and I’m starting to wonder if I would still get the normal life that everybody has especially sleeping at night. I know it’s my choice to be here because the pay is good. As long as I’m receiving good money, and able to provide for my daughter–I am happy. But still, I can’t help but wonder how my life would go about if I’m living the normal life. Just wondering…

 

Here again..

I can’t believe I still my WP account. A blogger friend inspired me to open my WP account and viola! It’s been a year since last post. Well, my previous post was my first and my last post here. I remembered, I was having a hard time how to manage WP that’s why I switched to BG instead. I’m thinking of getting this blog back in shape. But that’s means more work for me, namely–domain names, motif, themes, template, topics and more. Argh. I’ll just try to work and familiarize myself first before I finalize everything. I hope I can do it. Wish me luck.
