Mignon's birthday!

mood:

It’s my friend’s birthday today! Mignon used to be an officemate. She is a really nice person and friend…fun to be with…humorous…and is someone who would really spend on her hair. Ha ha! I haven’t seen her in ages. I miss her!



Happy Birthday to you, Mignon! Wishing you more years of happiness and success! All the Best!

a date with Ella

mood:

Ella sent a text message on Friday night asking if we could just meet at 11am of Saturday. We originally planned to meet at 9am. It was a good thing as I didn’t realize the Laundromat will be closed on Sunday for Easter.

I finally met Ella’s husband, Jeff, in person last Saturday. Along with them was Bill, Jeff’s friend. We met at Macy’s in 34th Street and walked towards Times Square. We had lunch at Times Square Brewery. Then, we went to TKTS to buy tickets for the play. We were kind of undecided at first and Ella finally picked ‘Doubt’. I didn't even know they actually have this booth wherein they sell tickets at half the price. The play was a nice one. The acting was really great. The actors did a very good job. The story is about a nun having suspicions on the priest’s relationship with a 12 yr. old boy. She really did everything to make the priest resign even though in the end, she kind of admitted she made up some stories and she had doubts with what she was trying to prove.

Then, we just kept on walking along the Times Square area. We stopped by Starbuck’s, grabbed some coffee and cookies. We even went at a Flea Market. Jeff kept on taking pictures. It was around 6pm when we said our goodbyes. I really had fun even though it was kind of short. It was so nice to have seen Ella and be with her. The last time I saw her was June 2004 when we went to Virginia.

moody!

mood:

I’ve been staring at the computer for a while now. I’ve typed a few words but I keep on erasing them. I really don’t know how to express my mind now. All I know is I’m really disappointed with what happened earlier. Well I should be used to it by now since this is not the 1st time this happened. It’s so depressing that I have to ask a favor just because I don’t have my own car. While it is not a personal matter, it’s still something I wouldn’t dare ask. I was only given a very brief comment like 'it's late'. I didn't even have the chance to ask what he meant by that since he was in a hurry. Oh well...

butterflies in my stomach!

mood:

I can’t explain how happy I am right now. I’m just happy and excited to the extent that I’m having butterflies in my stomach. I had to take Advil for my headache. Funny huh?! Why? The evaluation process has been completed. We were called one by one. I’m just so happy to know I’m being given a better raise compared to before besides the fact that the yearly bonus I’m getting is also a little more than the last year. Hooray! I was also asked if there’s anything I’d like to say. I just said… “If the company thinks I can be of great contribution to anything, as long as I can do it, I would be more than willing to do it!”

for old times' sake

mood:

I was online last night and I’m very happy to have chatted with some of my former colleagues. I had a chat with Rea, Digs, Dudes and a two liner comment from Joey saying I better cut my hair because I look old in it. Duh! He didn't even ask me how I am! Hmp! Well, that is Joey! And I appreciate him for being like that. Dudes was kind of busy though she said she's going to e-mail me and send some pictures of their HK trip.

Then there was Caryl (best friend from college). She told me Rhiza just gave birth with her 2nd child and this time, it’s a girl. I haven’t heard from Rhiza since her birthday last year though. Caryl's Migs, my inaanak, will be 1 yr old on March 24th. I also learned her husband (Roland) left for HK again for a permanent job this time. She said she and Migs might go there too depending on how soon the papers will be processed.

Ate Irmee, as always, was online too. What else are we going to talk about besides the wedding! Ha ha! She is just so nice and wouldn’t run out of ideas. I just love her.

I really miss my friends back home…

still waiting!

mood:

I'm still waiting for the 'good' news at work.

craving for what?!

mood:

I passed by the Subway store on my way home yesterday. I was really craving for something sweet that I decided to buy some toll house cookies. There was a long line in the store so I dumped the idea of getting it. When I got home, I was so happy to see the same cookie on the table. In short, I ate it! Bwahahaha! But I was still craving for more after dinner. I went out with my landlady’s son who happened to be going out that time. I said I will look for a delicious cake. But upon reaching the grocery store, the cakes didn’t look like one. Again, I dumped the idea. Kuya Nel suggested pizza. Naaahh!!! Then Lalay mentioned KFC. They have this sandwich called snacker and I was like let’s gooo. Kuya Nel said I’m worse than a pregnant woman. Eh what will I do?! I wanted to eat something. Finally, we got it! I enjoyed it very much especially I also had the potato wedges…so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The bad thing about this craving is that I didn’t do my exercise. Hmp!

expectations...

mood:

It's that time of the year again and everyone is really excited about the results of the evaluation.

Tatay's birthday!

mood:

I almost forgot it was Tatay's birthday yesterday, March 12th! I just missed him. I still think of him very often. I know how happy will he be if he's alive right now. I'm sure Nanay went to Laur and offered mass for him.

To you tatay, wherever you are right now, I want you to know you’ll never be forgotten. You will always be in my heart! I will always be grateful for the many years that I’ve spent with you!

a weekend that went by so fast!

mood:

I just couldn’t believe how fast my weekend went. Whew! I was lazy as a pig yesterday. I woke up early for a Saturday though. I cleaned. I fixed my room. I threw the unnecessary things, papers, etc. I didn’t go out to do my laundry till four in the afternoon. Good thing it wasn’t crowded at the Laundromat.

I’m now on phase 3 of my exercise program. Oh my! It seriously hurts! The reps are just more and the moves are so fast.

What did I do today?! I went to church in the morning and passed by the grocery. I grabbed some bread, pastrami, bacon, chicken and cheese. I just stayed home the whole day watching tv. There was nothing much nice to watch though. I cooked chicken ‘asado’ for dinner. Well, that’s what they call it back home. It’s just chicken sautéed with garlic, onion and lots of tomatoes. Then it’s seasoned with soy sauce and ground pepper. They said it tastes good. Ahem! Then, I did my exercise. Too bad I can’t really do it religiously for now. It really hurts! I know I’ll get used to it. And it’s Monday tomorrow! Back to work!

i almost missed the bus

mood:

I purposely left home 30 minutes later than usual earlier. I had to go to the post office to mail some office documents. I could have not done it had I known traffic is going to be that bad. I was really hoping I could reach my destination on time so I don’t have to walk to work. Well I was fortunate enough to still catch it.

freezing cold

mood:

Due to the weather condition, I left home a little earlier than usual this morning. All the snow last night turned into crystal ice. Temperature was 15 degrees. It was so cold and windy. Roads are slippery that I almost fell. I didn’t have anything to hold on to. Good thing I was able to balance myself. But I really struggled. Then there was this van which got stuck right in the middle of the road. You can see his wheels just creaking.

I didn’t have to wait that long for the bus going home. As soon as I got out of my co-worker’s car, the bus came.

one messy day

mood:


It was so hard for me to get up this morning. It felt like it was so good to stay in bed for a little bit more but I had to go to work.

There was nothing different for the day at work. I did the same thing though I was kind of busy earlier. But still, I managed to finish, well almost, the enhancements that I’m doing for my personal blog. I would rather do it at work during lunch break since the computer is a lot faster and I can accomplish a lot of things in a short time.

I didn’t have appetite for lunch today. I don’t know why. I usually take lunch at 1pm since work starts at 9am. I didn’t eat until almost 3:30pm. I think that was also like around 1pm when it started snowing. It was pretty bad, pouring so much that it accumulated to 5 inches or more I guess. The owner of the company wasn’t around that time. We were told to leave by 5pm. I had a ride with a co-worker and traffic wasn’t that bad until the time I took the city bus. There were 2 of them but both were packed. The 1st one didn’t stop and it was a good thing, there was someone getting off from the bus behind it so I managed to get on. All cars were really moving slow. It was so windy and freezing.

I had dinner and rested for an hour before exercising. I just feel bad I can’t do it continuously up to now. I had to pause once in a while. It’s really tiring. Oh well! Anyway, I’m still trying my best.
