Time at work that turned into a rant

I've been spending a lot of time at work. And if we are home, we think about work, and the rest of the time, sleeping to have the strength to get ready for work the next day.

It's no wonder why people have affairs with co-workers. They are literally the people you spend your life with.

I applaud the people who have the money and the time to balance work and life. I would love to do that, but I think going on leave to stay home is a waste. If i were to go on leave, i would be doing something "productive" with it. travel or shop. Any of those two. Alas, they both need money to be accomplished, and I just don't have that "extra" luxury.

I never got the concept of people going on leave to stay home and "rest". What the hell kind of job do you have? Construction? Do you carry a lot of heavy stuff?? Oh well. To each his own.

It's been a long time...

Wow..

I haven't updated for a looong time. A lot has happened in my life the past year that has been good and bad. in no particular order:

well, i'm still married with 2 wonderful kids..
I've actually joined a TV game show.. i lost.
bought a new car
still working in the same company with people i love to work with..
i've travelled a little bit
finally joined facebook

and..

My dad passed away back in '08. this is the main reason why i couldn't start writing. It took me a while, but I guess I can start 'talking' about my feelings again.


This wasn't even planned. I was just looking through other people's blogs and I thought I should write something. I know I probably lost readers (if i had any). But i don't really care if no one reads my blog. it's just nice to have an outlet like this, with the thrill (?) of having some stranger read it.

Welcome back Kay

Cute naman!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TO MY HUBBY!!!!

LUV YOU!!!

Missing you already...

I'm going to miss my babies sooooooooooo much. See you and dada in a week :( Luv you!!

Nothing's changed...

It's funny how people's minds work.

Especially if you're someone who distorts everything in your head, and make yourself feel that you're a victim. That people treat you bad, and make fun of you.. aawww poor you.

When in reality, it's all in your head, and that people don't actually give a shit about you, but rather the people around you. It's sad and funny at the same time that you think the sun rises and sets just for you.

Oh well... nothing's changed. :)

Happy Anniversary Caspers

I know I can't be with you tonight.... but I'm there in spirit. (kahit takot ka sa multo, Jon) hehehe

Luv you guys!

Time flies

It's one year ago today that I once again went under the knife to give birth to my little boy. He has brought such happiness to our lives. He has made our family complete.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAVI!!!!!

referring to the last sentence of my previous post...

It just did! :)

Catch up

Whoaaaa.. I haven't updated in a loooooong ass time. Things have been real busy. Lemme see... Since my last post, A lot of things have happened. Let's start with January.

I welcomed the year asleep because I had work early next day. You get used to it after a few years of being in a call center. Holidays and weekends are a thing of the past!

We also had Javi's baptism in January. We held it at the same Ateneo chapel Gabby had hers. Only this time, Javier was crying like crazy!! We didn't get very good pics because he kept on crying, and everyone just wanted to get it over with so he could stop. We had the reception at the chinese restaurant we chose.

February... hmm... trying to remember...I guess nothing happened since I can't remember :)

March... we had our family pic taken! Yes, it was all jerome's idea. He has been bugging me ever since Javi was born.. Of course, I kept on putting it off. I wanted to lose the post pregnancy fat first. I finally gave in. It turned out great! I love it!! Of course it was pure HELL taking it. After a couple of shots, Gabby started her temper tantrums.. Javi started crying... looking at the pic, you would never know.

Anyway, with the kids being uncooperative, Jerome and I took couple shots so we can utilize the 1 hour photo shoot. We had a couple of good ones, but we decided on the kissy photo.. there was another one when I was kissing him, but it wasn't as nice as the one where he was kissing me.

Well, I guess that's it. Life is still good.... it's bound to get better... I hope! :)

Uneventful but still nice :)

Well, I'm officially 30. I don't feel any different, and hopefully don't look any different.

Christmas Eve was pretty normal. Dinner here, visitations there. It was nice. My kids got TONS of presents. I don't even know where to put all of them.

But the most special part of Christmas Eve for me was the gift my hubby gave me, 15 minutes before midnight. Thanks sweetie! I love you very much! :)

The next day was pretty uneventful. We had lunch at home and then went to Fairview to visit Jerome's relatives. They were playing mahjong when we got there, and we just pretty much hung out.

Jerome and I went to the mall for a while to get some ice cream, pizza, and a case for my new phone.

Then we went home and I took my family out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

That's it. Uneventful, but special because it was spent with family. :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Blech!!

That's how my day is going. Which SUCKS bigtime because it's only 2 days before my birthday and here I am with a headache, a heartache and no will to do ANYTHING.

Hope this shitty feeling doesn't last.

PostSecret

I saw this link in Angge's blog and I really liked it. It's going to be one of the regular blogs I visit from now on :). It has all these pictures that make you think, laugh, smile, etc... an example below that I thought was hilarious!

Then and Now

Where am I?.... moved on :)

For Caspers

It's always sad when you lose touch with your friends. You always promise to keep in touch, and you do, for a while, then it just fades away. This happened with my high school friends. Although sometimes there's an email or two.... a forwarded email about friendship.... it's not the same. We all get caught up with our own lives, that we forget to keep in touch. Especially for me, now that i'm in a whole different country.

Then I met a new set of friends here in the Philippines. Back in '96. These girls became my closest friends.. We've been through a lot. "Tambay time" at Jon's house, fighting and making up, billiard days, casino days, joan's house party (hehehe), Jill's fainting spells, Jon getting drunk, Kong scaring us half to death, Jill's "hiphop" hands... and a lot more! :)

We also had our share of bad times... Kong's son's death, Belai's crying spells because of... well, all of them, Jon and I fighting.. we got through this with our friendship still intact.

Now that I've moved on... these girls and I still manage to keep in touch. Lady lives in the States, Bel pabalik-balik sa states, Jill is in Site 2, Joan unreachable, and Vee... well.. actually sawa na ko sayo :)

I've promised myself to never lose touch with these girls. Especially now that Lady will be godmother to my baby boy, and Belai's and Vee's kids are my godchildren. It's good to know that even though I left the group because of unforseen circumstances (:P), know that I will always be your friend.

LAB U!

Friendster pics

Very deceiving....

Everyone does not look that good all the time. I've seen people who look absolutely FAB in their friendster pics, but see pics of them in their friend's pages looking like hell.

Funny how friendster makes everyone so vain. Yours truly included, of course. You take several sets of pictures with your phone, deleting the ugly ones, and posting the best one, then putting some lame caption like, "bored". It's a sickness... an addiction... and i'm sad to say the country is infested.

Friendster brings out the best in friendships! (pls note the sarcasm) Posting a pic that only YOU look good in! It makes me laugh!

While we're on friendster pics, i HATE it when girls post/take solo pictures of themselves making a funny face. They obviously think they look cute making that face and expect everyone else to think it too.

I rant about friendster, but i am a devout member. Ever since my friend Vez invited me way back in 2002, it was a way to keep in touch with all the friends i left behind in the US. Use it as something to update your friends on what you've been up to... places you've been to... I just hate it when people use it to make pa-cute.

My opinion. Pakelam mo!

My crazy daughter

Life during the weekend, Gabby escapades.

Saturday.

Jerome, Gabby and I went to Greenbelt. We haven't taken Gabby out in a while so we went to Timezone. We met up with Jay and Cath. They stayed with us for a few minutes but then left to have dinner.

That's when we decided to have ice cream. I got vanilla, jerome and gabby shared chocolate. Gabby was getting all messy so I told gabby that the ice cream was all finished and she can't eat anymore. She looked at the half full cup and said, "Meyon pa, ice cream, BEH!" sticking her tongue at me! Jerome just laughed! We really can't fool her anymore.

Sunday.

I don't know about everyone else, but I felt sorry for Morales. The way his face looked at the end of the third round. Just sitting there, looking at his dad, shaking his head. It was the look of accepting defeat. After all the shit talking he did before the fight, I think that was pretty hard to swallow.

Oh well, someone had to lose....

I got a text from Cookie at 6am this morning asking me if it's true that Pacquiao was disqualified because they found drugs in his urine.... It reminded me of fake text messages I got while I was watching the non-important fights. Did anyone else get those bogus text messages about how Manny won, the Madam Auring version? Funny. :)

Anyway, the rest of the Sunday, we went around Timog avenue looking for a restaurant where we can hold Javi's baptism celebration. I think we've decided on a Chinese restaurant. My mom treated us to dinner there and we were stuffed.

Gabby was with us and she is getting so smart! At one point when we were eating, she was using her hands and Jerome told her that eating with her hands is not allowed in the restaurant. She looked at the other table and saw another girl using her hands to eat bread. She said, "Ayun o, kamay!" while pointing. We all laughed.

Life is never dull with Gabby around. :)
