Saturday to Thursday

SATURDAY
It was a long day for hubby and I. We left Cavite @ 9am to go to my SILs house. As usual... we were caught in the Saturday Traffic. Hate going to City on Saturday because it is the most traffic day of the week. Arrived there at 10:30am. And as usual "again"... waiting for my in-laws to get ready so we can leave for HIMLAYAN to visit their late Mama for her Birthday. Left Cubao at 1130am. In Himlayan, we bought some flowers, and just say a little prayer before leaving. We had some celebration in JAY-JAY's Inasal Timog. It was a good lunch - had Chicken Inasal, Kare-kare, Sisig, Calamares and turon for dessert. Was very full.

Then.. we're back to Cubao @ 3pm. We borrowed their van to bring the old aircon to my parents' house. Got tin Pasig @ 3:45pm. Siempre...traffic eh. Got my pedicure with my favorite manicurista while hubby is fixing the PC. He was able to make the monitor work but there was an issue on start-up. The system hang before it completes the start process.Suko na kami @ 6pm. The PC needs a reformat and it will be done next week if Ariel can find a patch or a system for formatting the PC on a 3.5 Disk. The System file in the CD was not accepted.

Heavy traffic going back to Cubao to return the van. But still waited for my inlaws because they are out. Hubby needs to teach her "ate" about CD burning. He also taught her the use of the other best features of her new laptop. Then... we waited again... for the KFC delivery for our dinner. Left Cubao @ past 10pm and reached home @ 11pm. Such a very tiring day.... after some wishy-washy... we settled for bed.

SUNDAY...
Woke up @ 8am but was not able to get up. Hubby is not feeling well. We continue to sleep until 12nn. Had our brunch. Then... I went to SM Molino with Manang to do our monthly grocery. Have to leave Ariel for him to get some rest. Back home @ 3:30pm. We attended the 5-6pm Mass. Dinner... and have some rest again.

MONDAY
Supposed to be a Holiday but all Product Engrs. were requested to come to work because our visitor (VP from US) was not informed earlier of the Holiday. We have a scheduled productivity review. We have an option to stay from 8-6 and offset the Holiday on another Regular day or consider it O-T-Y if we leave early. The review started @ 8am and ended @ 3pm. Ok na din.. coz we had a free lunch from our cafeteria. Hubby and I decided to just offset the day. However... hubby...work very very late.... we left the office @ almost 9pm. Was very inis... considering that it is a Holiday. Driving home... he got an SCT (silent cold treatment). Di kasi ako nagger. Maiinis ka lang.. because of my being cold, silent and my few sarcastic words. War kami the whole night. hehehe.

TUESDAY
He woke up @ 4pm...working again. I got up @ 6pm. He asked me if I'm going to work. He's not because he's sick. I asked him if he wants me to stay or not. He asked me to stay and not go to work. He already got the approval from our director that he'll be offsetting the day for the holiday. I was also permitted by my supervisor to offset the holiday. But was still inis because...even he is sick... he still worked until 10am. Hay. addict sa work.

Then he asked me about my idea for the SM IDOL entry. Wala pako idea that time. I kept searching the house for possible alterable item. Saw the basketBALL that we're supposed to trash. Planned to make it as a table centerpiece with pix on it. But when I read the forum, toys are not considered as household item. Then I looked below the kitchen sink..VIOLA... i saw the KFC bucket. Hubby is a KFC bucket collector and I am a KFC bucket trasher. I am so tempted of scrapping them when I saw them already building up. hehehe. dami ko sana idea like painting the tropicana bottle brown or black. Having a denim cover for the lamp but since i don't have those materials I just ended up doing this simple LAMP.

WEDNESDAY
Dami work. di makausap.

THURSDAY
Inis. Stayed @ work till 845pm waiting for hubby. Buti na lang I made it to top21 of SM IDOL at least nabawasan inis ko. Hehehe. Actually..I'm already expecting the worst because my work is so simple compared to the work of the other ladies. I think I lack details. But I am still thankful! Good luck to my co-MOVERs to round4.

Friday in the City

We took a DAY OFF from work last Friday. We went to Makati to get the ORs for the PAG-IBIG payments we made thru our developer. From the developer we went to Pag-ibig to pay for our M.A and to issue PDCs for 1 year.

We got lucky that morning because we didn't pay any parking free for the 2 locations that we've been. 1st, we got to park in Mercury drug near Makati Med because we got to buy some AM Snacks. Then we parked at the back of the Somerset hotel. We knew that we got to pay some parking free. But we have waited for a while before leaving the parking area and no one ask for payment.

From Makati, we took the Coastal Road to Cavite. We needed to go to SSS in Bacoor to re-apply for Ariel's ID. He never receive his ID since it was captured in our office last 2002 but when he re-applied in SSS Tagaytay, they told us that we need to get an Affidafit of Loss and so we did. Tagaytay is far from where we are that moment so we opted to go to Bacoor.

We got in SM Bacoor at 11:50am. While waiting for the 1pm office hour of SSS, we decided do some window shopping but I ended up buying curtain, a blouse and a scrapbooking Mag from Booksale. We had our lunch in MXM. It was not great though. We ordered for fish with vegetables, roast duck, tausi spareribs & chicken asparagus soup. The taste is bland..not a
typical chinese food taste.

From SM Bacoor, we tried to walk outside to go to SSS. We were informed that it's just near. However, when we asked some sidewalk vendors, they told us that we need to ride a jeep because it is not walking distance. So... we rode a bus (tagal ko na di nakakasakay ng bus pero ganun pa rin. nothing changed except the fare). When we reached SSS, I was so pissed. We were informed that they can't accommodate more people for pix taking because they reached their qouta of 140person. Pwede ba yun? I had my pix taken once and I know that it's not that long to take pix and pertinent infos from people. Hay.... sayang ang pamasahe at pagod.

Going back to SM Molino, we just took a jeep. Bumaba kami sa Meralco which is in fromt of SM Bacoor to file a complain "sana" about our meter which was placed at the post far from our house. The customer number we got is 5079 and the current number being attended is 5050. Hubby and I tried to wait but almost 20mins had passed, and the number just moved twice. We just decided to leave. I hate waiting!



Got home @ 3pm. We watched "4108" and "Evan Almighty". Not great films but not bad as well. Don't know what got into us, that after eating dinner, we felt sleepy and slept at 9pm. This is very early for us.... Maybe we are not use to the traffic in "MANILA"....

Pampa-alis "INIS" LOs

While hubby is in the office last saturday, able work on 4 LOs and start with another that I was able to finish today. Followed Joanne's advise to scrap if i'm "INIS".

LOs can be seen here.
1. Soulmates
2. Taipei
3. Temple
4. Hitch
5 Happy 2nd Anniversary

Simple LOs... to lessen my backlogs.. Haven't started with my entry to the 2nd round of Scrappin Mom's Idol Contest.


Kinda Sad

Today is a HOLIDAY and supposed to mean "NO WORK". But as usual, hubby needs to go to office like what he did last Saturday.

In times like this... many things come into my mind...
.... i am hating the type of work we have... we're like doctors that needs to be on call 24/7 because manufacturing operates the same.

Sometimes I am also thinking... maybe this is the reason why we are still DINK. And it irritates me more hearing questions and comments from people like...
- wala pa ba?
- kelan ba?
- di ata kayo marunong eh.

Buti na lang friendly ako at di ko masabi na....
- e di kayo gumawa
- ano bang pakialam nyo


hay....

Check here to see what I am talking about.
Just don't until when can i hold on.
All of the girls that made it to the TOP27 are great.

Congrats to my co-MOVERs!

Just Got My APE

Finally, we were able to have our company's Annual Physical Exam. My schedule was this morning. At 1st, I was scared because of the "INJECTION" thought. But I was able to conquer my fear. My CBC and Anti-flu shot was successful. I just didn't looked while the attendants are doing their duties. I just felt the needle getting through my skin and nerve. Hehehe. Good thing, I didn't feel dizzy ( I fear blood...). Now.... my left arm is heavy...

the silent me

a poem written in 10 minutes....

sometimes i wonder
sometimes i ask
sometimes there's no answer
sometimes i'm stuck

why is it hard for me to speak up
why do i keep things to myself
why can't i share to others
or just rant or vent out

i wish i could show what i feel
i wish i am like those who speaks their mind
i wish i could say what i want to say
but i just cant...maybe because... this is ME...
