the good and the bad

Today is Holiday. But I am here in the Office coz I need to finish some stuffs that I need to present tomorrow night.

Today also is my 1st day to work without Ariel by the passenger side. He is now in Taiwan. He left yesterday. Flight BR272 bound to Taipei. And here i am now already missing him so much.

it's my 1st time to sleep at night without him. buti na lang samin nakatira ngayon yung brother ko kaya may katabi ako matulog.

and since kahapon sya umalis... i have a headache now. pagod kasi kami last saturday and also yesterday. Been so very busy last wikend.

some wento about our wikend...

friday night.. we left the office at 7pm. we had dinner in our home. my dad cooked chicken adoobo. My dad is staying in our place every wikdays because he's working on some stuffs for our house. My dad is jack of all trades... carpentry, welding, gardening, painting, electrical etc. Dami na nabago sa house namin and all were done by my dad. Good thing about it is we're able to save on labor... inaabutan lang namin si dadi tas may touch of love pa yung gawa kaya di lugi di tulad ng iba na inaaraw and trabaho. I'll be posting some pictures of our home soon.

So going back to friday... after dinner... my ever patient husband taught my bro on his assignment. We're having problem with my brother. He used to excel in his studies from preschool to grade 4 but when he was in grade 5 & 6, nawala na gana sa studies. madali kasi sya maimpluensyahan ng environment. more on laro, video games, gitara, basketball, etc. Hay.. medyo sakit ng ulo. parang nakalimutan na nya mga napag-aralan dati. actually...medyo nauubos pasensya ko sa pagtuturo. i am not an instructor naman in nature eh. kulang kasi ako sa pasensya. kaya si ariel ang nag-tyatyagang magturo. medyo masungit sya and being strict pero di talaga nya tinatantanan until matuto. which i believe is good naman. this is for my brother's benefit naman eh. nakatulog nako bago pa man matapos yung "jewel in the palace" pero pa sila tapos.. past 12mn na ata sila natapos.

saturday... we woke up at 930am. got a text from tonio, our neighbor/manager. di daw nag-wo-work yung aircard nya. need to send some files kaya dumaan sya sa house and nakisuyo na pakisend files from his flash drive. while ariel is working, i cooked some simple bfast...fried rice, hotdog, egg and canned purefoods sisig. we planned to go to sm to buy some items that he needs to bring with him to taiwan but just after we took a bath, dumating yung mga construction workers na gumawa ng house namin. we have complaints kasi about the roof of the garage, window, tiles etc. it was a back job. so nauna na kami ng brother ko sa SM. I drive our chinchin going to SM. wow... i can drive alone na..hehehe.

national bookstore was our 1st stop, bought the things he needs in school. next was grocery/sm hypremart, tingin us washing m/c. hirap na kasi maglaba (kala mo dami laba no? undies lang naman.. papa-laundry kasi kami). dumating na si ariel kasi lunch break daw nung mga tao. we bought 6kg American Heritage ata yun na washing machine. it was not a twin tub coz his sis we'll be giving us their old spinner. and one reason also is that wala ng space sa house. we proceeded to the grocery after paying the washing machine... bought food,toiletries, etc. tas balik na us sa house kasi 1pm babalik mga tao. bumili lang us food from the carinderia. di kami makaluto dahil may gumagawa sa loob ng house. may pinalitan kasi sila tiles. sa 2nd floor na lang us eat. then laba nako undies using our new washing m/c. halata bang excited. di noh. need kasi ni ariel matuyo undies nya for his flight. wala na sya madadala. hehehe.

mga 3pm dumating naman officemate namin kahit magulo sa house. need daw nya kasi mag-log sa office eh malapit lang kami sa kanila 10km lang daw kesa punta sya sa office which is 24km. may dala pa sila ice krim..kakahiya. mga 20mins lang sila...na-cancel daw yung need nyang pag-log-on sa system ng subcon namin. di nabigay yung oras ng production. ayos lang us konti sa house then alis ulit kami. wala nang ligo-ligo. claimed namin uniform ni popoy sa patahian. sobrang kainis yung patahian na yun. supposedly, may 30 pa namin kunin yun pero di nila natapos. we ordered 4 polos and 2 pants. may pasok na bro ko nung june 7 tas june 5 lang nila natapos yung 2 polos and 1 pants kaya binalikan pa namin. hay. ..

then punta na us ulit SM, we bought printer 3-in 1 HP1410. pinagpilian namin yung epson & HP pero we did go for HP. reasons are: it is cheaper- 4.2K against 4.99K, size- bulky yung epson, quality (mas ok daw quality ng HP). ang cons nga lang is expensive ang ink. reason pala for buying is may assignment na yung bro ko and we think that we may be needing it more in the future.

after that, pagupit na sya kasi haba na buhok nya. habang nasa GQ Barbershop sya, i went to nat'l bookstore to buy a ream of bond papers. punta din sa ACE and Surplus to look for umbrella but wala din sila stock like in SM. buti na lang meron sa Watson. I bought 3 umbrella for 99.75 each - 1 for Ariel ( may scattered rainshower daw sa taipei), 1 for my bro and 1 for my sis.

7pm, attended anticipated mass. wala na kasi tym ng sunday kasi 1240pm yung flight nya. wala na din ligo-ligo kasi 630 na us nakadating sa house. ok pa naman looks n smell ko eh. hehehe. tas nasira pa sampayan dahil sa bigat nung nilabhan nung brother ko.

then punta us sm ulit. 3rd time for the day to meet with my sister JEN. she'll sleep over with us. ariel went to ACE hardware to buy clothes line rope while i am buying bucket meal sa KFC. Dinner kami dun then uwi na din.

sa house kabit ni ariel sampayan.,while my sis is helping my bro with his laundry. nilabhan ulit kasi nadumihan.

then ayos na kami gamit ni ariel, clothes, things to bring, etc while JEN and Popoy are working on Popoy's notebook. tahi nila notebook , alis yung spring para mas neat.

Ariel also set-up the Printer to my laptop. registered it online and also set-up our wifi so that my laptop will be recognize as primary PC while Ariel is in Taiwan. Puyat talaga kami ... slip at 130am.

Sunday, gising na us at 6pm. His sister will be picking him up to accompany us to the airport. delikado daw kasi if I drive home alone. . 7am dun na sila sa house.

Pa-full tank muna ni Ariel Chinchin while bihis kami.

We left the house at 8am. We're in the airport at around 9am. His Ate left after dropping him off to the departure area. we (my sis, bro and I) stayed sa arrival area dun sa may JBEE para may kasama sya eat bfast/lunch. But sarado pa booth when he arrive kaya wait pa sya then haba pa pila. 1030pm na sya nakalabas. eat lang sya 2-pc burger steak. then mga 11am alis na din sya para maka-rest naman sya sa may boarding area.

we just rode a bus going to baclaran then jeep us to paliparan. SM molino lang us pero yun lang sakayan. sobra traffic dapat pala fx na lang us. init pa.

sa house, eat lang us nung tirang chix from KFC for our lunch. tas nuod kami dvd. kaso nakatulog ako then bigla umulan. shocks, all windows are open kaya bigla ako takbo to close windows. hay..too late..napasok na kami tubig. hehehe. then nuod ulit. tas pinanuod nila yung wedding video namin. i forgot to blog pala about the wedding video. nakuha na namin sya last april after a year. naki-pag settle na lang kami sa studio. we paid add'l 2K para makuha yung video pero babalik din daw nya yung money pag binayaran na sya ni jhun. hay.

luto ulit ako dinner naman. cooked the pork that ariel marinated and made some itlog na maalat with kamatis. na-miss ko kasi yung salted egg eh.

mga 8pm, i helped popoy cover his notebooks with art parer as per instruction from his teacher. hay.. dami talaga arte pag sa school pa. well sa work dami din arte... may mga bureaucracy pa kamo.. hehehe.

mga 930pm. uwi na sis ko with Anna. may pasok pa kasi Jen ng 6am ng monday. nursing student kasi sya and just had her capping last may 29th. wala na pala holiday pag nag-duduty na sa hospital yung mga nursing students.

hatid ko sila sa SM. Meaning i am driving. yabang noh, medyo kabado pa rin pero i chose to do it kasi wala na tricycle sa kanto ng subdv natin to SM. pagbalik house. ayos lang konti ng gamit for work then slip na. antok nako and pagod eh. popoy is still working with his assignments pero diko na talaga kaya kaya tulog nako. tabi ko popoy slip.

SIDE WENTO:
close talaga kami popoy. i'm the eldest and he's the youngest. when he was born, mom stayed in the hospital for 3 days kasi nagpa-ligate na sya. 5 na kasi kami noh?. I just graduated from HS that time and it was our vacation kaya i took care of him. he was never breast feeded by my mom. ayaw nya. hehehe. nasanay sya sa bottle. mas close sya sakin kesa kay mommy. i remembered when i was in college, mas habol sya sakin kesa sa mommy. kaya i need to bring him to sleep before going to school. tabi lagi kami slip. na-tsismis pa nga ako dati na anak ko daw sya kasi i didn't enroll right after HS. i stop for one sem due to financial problem. wala lang. kakatawa lang. mga tao talaga..

then, when i started working in cavite and wikends na lang uwi sa Pasig, he used to lay all the pillows in the bed para kunyari daw katabi nya pako. hehehe. well.. that's it... mabait sya dati pero naligaw ng landas nung malayo nako tsaka work na si mommy kaya no one was looking after him and his studies. I just pray that bumalik yung dating sipag at galing nya sa studies.

and... ngayon... dito ako sa office..just talked to ariel, ok naman sya. lamig daw sa taiwan. wala sya jacket pero kaya naman daw nya. he's not used to wearing jacket kasi eh.

anyway... bkt nga ba the good and the bad subject nito... wala lang...
the BAD is i'm missing ariel, i am tired, ariel is tired....
the GOOD is i'm learning to drive alone. this could improve my skills as well as increase my confidence.

but siempre, i would still want and would always wanted to have Ariel by my SIDE. And spend the days of our lives together... happy together...
