BAD DREAM!

2011-02-17T17:32:00.000-08:00

I was at the funeral with my husband, mother, uncle and sister. But for some reason all of us including the dead body ended up in the middle of the road. The body was out of the coffin. It was embalmed and yet still alive. I was not sure if he was my father or my uncle. But he looked at me so angry. Whatever I have done to him, it must be pretty bad. The look in his eyes was as sharp as knife. I was so scared and I was hiding behind my husband. Then, the body started to smell. My mother and my uncle decided to burn the body right there in the middle of the road. The hungry fire ate it for only a very short time. But my sister was mad. She wanted to tell everyone what my mother and uncle have done. So, I was following her wherever she went to convince her not to tell anyone since our mother was involved in it. We were on the top of the building and on the top of the tree (I was a pretty good climber, I guess), and walking on the small branch of the tree trying to talk to her out of it. Then I heard a sound, it's getting louder and louder and louder. Then, I opened my eyes. It was my alarm clock waking me up.

Ahhh... Thank you God. It was just a dream. It was scary.

I got up scared and was still shaking up when I was taking a shower. My dream was still playing in my head. I tried to think what made me dream like that. Then, I realized yesterday I had so many things going on which bothered me mentally and emotionally. I went to bed with my mind and heart not in peace.

I hate bad dreams.

BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS!

2011-02-16T17:53:00.000-08:00

The phone rang at around 3:00pm. I did not pick it up thinking it was some kind of tele-marketing since it was too early for my friends to call. But I was waiting just in case the caller will leave a message. And she did. "Hello! This is Liezel from the Philippine Consulate. This message is for Gerelyn Tundag." Huh! I was so scared. The moment I heard the Philippine Consulate, I knew it was about the processing of my Passport Extension. My hand was shaking as I picked up the phone. I was hoping it was not a bad news since my husband had already bought the tickets for our trip to the Philippines. Then she started explaining..... gosh, I thought I was going to faint when she told me she can no longer process my application because my passport was already expired. I have to renew it, they need my appearance and the process will take 6 weeks. How in the world can I do that in 6 freaking weeks? We will be leaving on the 9th of April. I wanted to cry and scream. I honestly told her how frustrated I am since we already got the tickets. I know it's my fault and not hers. She said she is going to send my papers back. "Okay!" This is what I said. What else can I say? So, we said our goodbyes. I felt like my heart was about to explode. I wanted to cry but tears won't come out of my eyes. I was frustrated, mad and sad not to anyone but to myself. So, I picked up the phone again and called my husband at work. Maybe he can calm me down. I thought. But I did not get hold of him. Oh joy! Whatever. I decided to continue doing my stuff.

Few minutes later.....

The phone rang again. I picked it up this time expecting my husband's voice. No, it wasn't. It was a woman's voice. It was Liezel from the Philippine Consulate. She called again to deliver a good news this time. Oh, thank you God! This time it is a good talk and a good news. She said she will consider processing my application since we already got the tickets with conditions. The conditions are not the hardest thing to do. So I gave her my word. I am so grateful that she considered it. Now, I am relieved. I just have to do those things that I needed to get done and fax them to her to complete my application.

Liezel, may GOD bless you. It is really nice to know and meet people, people like Liezel who is understanding and considerate.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

2011-02-14T20:28:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Happy Valentine's Day. Did you spend this special day with you love ones? If yes, good job. As for me today is just an ordinary day. But I got some gifts from our nice parents at work. Thanks to them by the way. I felt guilty because I did not make gifts for our parents. Our kids at work had a little party. They really enjoyed. They ate so much. It was fun. I had fun.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

LONG DAY!

2011-02-08T20:01:00.000-08:00

Working long hours is not fun, especially when it's not counted as overtime. Today I had to work 11 hours straight. I am so tired. I was already falling asleep on the bus on my way home. The energy left in me was only enough to cook for my husband's food for him to take to work. That's all. I had to order food for my dinner and for my stepson's. It does not make me happy everytime they schedule me this way. It's not very often though. It's hard to say "no" because first, I want to have a good review. And second, they asked me nicely. So I said "okay". But with all the cleaning and stuff I am doing in my room alone, working more than 8 hours is way too much. I will be sent home 3 hours early tomorrow for the 3 hours of overtime today. I'm thinking when I get home, I'll go straight to bed and sleep. Yeah right! As if it will happen.

Anyway goodnight everyone.

BYE WEEKEND!

2011-02-07T20:33:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a good weekend. My weekend was a little bit busy. I had a really good sleep from Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. I mean I did not sleep the entire time but I slept most of it. Friday after work I was so tired. I guess my job is really burning up all my strengths. Sometimes, I really, really wanted to just raise my arms and surrender. But I can't. I need money. So yeah,just keep moving. Then Saturday from 6pm to 12 midnight I was baby-sitting. Extra money for me. Plus I love these twins so much. They are supper cute. And I had fun. Then Sunday I slept almost the whole day. Damn! I was a little bit sad because I did not get to practice my driving. My husband said he was tired. I have nothing to argue about that. I wish I am allowed to practice alone. I probably have my license now. But unfortunately I can't. So I have to depend on my husband. But it's okay. It's better to take it slowly.

I have to stop for now. I have things that I needed to do for work.

Have fun all!

WEEKEND IS HERE!

2011-02-04T22:06:00.000-08:00

I am hoping that everyone will have a good weekend. I had a long week and I'm glad it's over. I will try to have fun as much as I can this weekend. And be ready for the week ahead. I'm hoping that it's going to be a better one next week. I had so many things going on this week. And most of them were not good. But I did not have time to share it here. Or may be it was a good thing not to share it here. But I made it to the end of this week. It's a good sign. Anyway, if I can't visit here this weekend, which is normal, I hope you guys will have a good weekend. Stay safe.

SUCCESS!

2011-01-24T18:57:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry I was gone for few days. I mean I was not really gone but my blog was left behind. Well, Friday I was so tired after work. I took a catnap for few minutes. And then, I decided to watch that movie "Toy Story 3" when I woke up. I needed to since I don't have time to watch it during the weekend and I had to return it to the owner or her kid will kill me. After the movie, I had to do a little cleaning, just a little bit. I was just making use of my time while waiting for my family to arrive at the Internet Cafe. Friday night is our date night. We chat for a long time. And it was fun.

Anyway about my "Spring Roll Party", it turned out great. I had fun and I'm sure they had fun too. All we did was just eat and eat and eat. Instead of watching movie which was the original plan, we were just talking and laughing. That was how we consumed the time until they realized it was time for them to leave. They were so happy to come over and very thankful for the food. I was happy too and thankful for the fun I had with them. Maybe there is next time. Maybe.

SPRING ROLL PARTY!

2011-01-19T18:04:00.000-08:00

Okay, my friends at work are coming to my house tomorrow. They are so madly in love of my homemade spring rolls. I brought some to work on Christmas Eve for my awesome co-workers. And phewww, spring rolls were gone in 60 seconds. I felt bad 'coz a lot of them did not get to try it. So, since then they keep bugging me when to bring more spring rolls. This one co-worker, every single time she sees me, she talks about spring rolls. "I want your spring rolls Gerelyn. When are you going to bring more?" I just usually give them my cutest smile. But now I have enough. So, I decided to have a Spring Roll Party tomorrow at my house. This made them so happy. And me? Nervous! I am not a good host. That's what I thought of me. But part of the plan though was to watch a scary movie. So, I think I'll be okay. And I will make some fruit salad and order some Thai Food.

Let's see if it's gonna be fun tomorrow. I promise I will let everybody know.

HAPPY TUESDAY!

2011-01-18T19:05:00.000-08:00

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It is almost the middle of the week which is good. Today was rough day at work. Although it is almost like this everyday, I am still not use to it. It is hard. This is the reason why I am always looking forward to the end of the week. I wish I only work on the weekends and earn the same amount of money as I work during the week. But, ugghh it's impossible. I still love my job though. I love my kids though they drive me nuts most of the time. Ahhhh work work work..... gotta love it.

PASSWORD!

2011-01-17T21:03:00.000-08:00

I had to change my new password here. It's been so long and I almost forgotten about my blog. (Sorry about that). I tried to access to it but I can't. My password was forgotten. I have to create a new one. Thankfully, it was not that hard. I should keep it in mind that I have this spot right here where I can say something,express,emote,cry,laugh,go crazy if possible (in words only).

WAZUP EVERYONE???

WEEK IS OVER! YES!

2010-07-09T21:32:00.000-07:00

I am so glad that this week is over. It was a short week but was sure a long one for me. It was one of the craziest weeks ever. A lot of things were out of control. Even the classroom temperature was out of control. It reached to 89 degrees. I wanted to cry. I really do. It made me tired and grumpy. It made the kids whiny and crazy. But at least I made to the end of the week. I know this cycle of life will never end since the end of the week marks the beginning of a new one. But a two-day break is good enough to give you time to gather your strength and energy for what is ahead of you. I am hoping though that it wouldn’t be as long as the last one.

Have a good weekend everyone.

FRIDAY!

2010-07-01T22:35:00.001-07:00

So excited for this long weekend. We are not planning to do anything though. But staying home is pretty awesome to me.

WEEKEND!

2010-06-23T20:19:00.000-07:00

It’s been a busy week so far. It is crazy at the same time too. Plus, it’s getting too hot and I don’t like it. Man, it’s only Wednesday (almost Thursday actually) but still two more days to go before the weekend. To me it sounds like a long wait. I am just glad that I feel so much better now. I was very sick Friday. After work I spent the rest of my Friday in bed. I got a little bit better on Saturday but I did not have any chance to open my blog. The computer table was kind of loaded. My husband and his son were working on my husband’s computer. I did not know what happen to it though. And then, Monday came and Tuesday. I had so many things to prepare for my classroom. I am not even half way done yet. I’m just tired. So I decided not to do anything today. I was playing games and just taking my time. I don’t want to think about tomorrow. I want my mind to be relaxed and my body as well. Maybe I’ll go to bed early today, earlier than usual.

Sounds like a plan. So, good night everyone.

FRIDAY!

2010-06-17T20:47:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is Friday. It is supposed to be my favorite day. But I don’t feel like going to work. I had a long day today. Some unexpected and probably an embarrassing things happened today that made me lazy to go to work tomorrow. I still have this weird feeling which I don’t know how to explain. A feeling that is saying something’s going to happen tomorrow but I really don’t know until tomorrow comes. The part of waiting what is going to happen is killing me. I keep reminding myself that I did not do anything wrong but it did not really help. Part of me is saying “Tomorrow don’t come.” And the other part is saying “It has to be ended.” Well, let’s see because whether I like it or not tomorrow is coming. What is going to happen then I might share it here. Maybe.

BETTER DAY!

2010-06-15T21:10:00.000-07:00

I am so glad that today turned out good. It was a lot better than yesterday. I thank God for this. I hope tomorrow is going to be calm too. I had fun with my little ones today. Since it was wet we did not get to go outside. So my partner and I spent our outside time playing with the kids. We love to tickle them and they love to be tickled too. I just love listening to them giggle. So we had fun. And we did not have to chase them outside. We had fun during our circle time too. These kids are getting smarter and smarter everyday. And I am so proud of them.

Anyway, I am thinking to go to bed early today and get a good night sleep hopefully. I feel so tired lately. I don’t want to get sick like my kids. I need to work to support my family especially now that school has started. This is what happened if you have so many nieces and nephews. But its alright I love them all.

So, good night everyone.

WHAT A MONDAY!

2010-06-14T16:46:00.000-07:00

Monday, first work day of the week. This is not my favorite day at all. It is so stressful most of the time and of course it is a long wait for the weekend. Today was one of those days. My little kids went crazy and were not listening. Well, I could not expect them to listen totally since they are just a year old. But they do a good job most of the time except for today. Usually, when we are coming back in to our classroom from our outside time, they just follow us and get in line and everything but today they went everywhere. They were running around and were ignoring us when we call their names. Plus we have 3 kids who don’t walk and we have to hold them. Gosh! What a pain. But at least I made it until the last minute. I hope that tomorrow is going to be a good one. I hope.

NICE DAY!

2010-06-12T14:02:00.000-07:00

What a nice Saturday everyone. It’s not raining in Seattle at all (well, just for today). Sun is so bright. Although, I don’t care very much if it’s raining or not during weekends since I’m at home. But it’s nice to see the sun once in a while. It gives me a nice feeling. I feel light and dry of course. I’m running out of day time today though. I just got up. I feel like I needed to spend a little time with my blog to say hi to everyone. And after this I will start doing my household chores. You know cleaning here and there, laundry, washing dishes and all that. Well, I guess I need to start now guys.

So, enjoy your day.

COCONUT SHORES DANCERS!

2010-06-11T22:53:00.000-07:00

These are my kids at work. They love to dance and this is one of their favorite dance songs. And well, as you can see, they love to fight sometimes too. But even though they fight, they still love each other. They love giving each other hugs and kisses. They are so adorable and cute.

Long, long time...

2010-06-11T22:28:00.000-07:00

Hello Folks! It’s been a long, long time that I haven’t visited my site. I got distracted by something else and I got busy doing job-related stuffs. Anyways, thank you to those who are still peeping through my blog, leaving me messages. I hope everyone is doing great like me. I will try to spend at least a short time to visit you back.

Take care all…

PELVIC ULTRASOUND!

2009-09-16T17:09:00.000-07:00

Finally, I had my pelvic ultrasound done. I was not scared at all unlike that exam I had 6 days ago. I was so anxious to get the exam done so that I can pee. An hour before the procedure I had to drink this much water so that my bladder will be full. They needed it for the exam. God knew how uncomfortable I was. When we were driving to the clinic I felt like my bladder was going to explode. All I can think of was bathroom. We got to the building and we had to go all the way up to the 11th floor. I know the elevator was fast but my urge to pee made it the slowest elevator ever. We finally got to the clinic and damn my back started hurting. The receptionist said that I can pee but just a little bit not to empty my bladder. Tears ran down my cheeks when I peed and when I tried to stop my pee. I was a little bit better for maybe a minute and after that I had to pee again so bad. And my back started hurting. I sat on the floor didn’t care those people who were looking at me. And at that time I really did not care. The receptionist called me to answer her question and told me that I can pee just a little bit. I cried again. When I was heading toward the waiting area I heard my name called. And that woman who did the exam said, “Please tell me you did not pee.” And I was so honest saying, “Yes, I did. But just a little bit.” We went to the exam room of course with my husband. I heard her saying family members are not allowed but she let my husband in anyway. And so the exciting part started. She did this and that and the first procedure was done. She told me to go to the bathroom to empty my bladder. Here was the problem. I peed and still want to pee but nothing came out. I sat on the toilet for a long time hoping that pee will come out. And I gave up and went to exam room continue the exam. She did her job. Check this and that and told me, “You’re bladder is still full.” I told her, “Yes, this is what will happen to me if I will not pee right away.” When the exam was done she called the doctor and the doctor told me and my husband that she did not see anything that is wrong. My first reaction was, “REALLY! BUT WHY IS IT I AM IN PAIN, RIGHT HERE? She just said, “Well, I don’t know what to tell you.” Ahhh… great! Although there is still question unanswered, I am so grateful of the result. I am still 60% scared though.

DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT!

2009-09-10T21:38:00.000-07:00

I had my doctor’s appointment today. I was so damned scared. Well, I am so worried about my health. Worried but too scared to go to the doctor to find out what is going on. I guess I am just a coward. I was even terrified to tell my husband about what I feel. He just knew about it this Saturday. But finally I got the courage to see a doctor and talked to her of course with my husband’s help about the pain in my abdomen which been bugging me for years.

In the clinic, the nurse checked my blood pressure. I saw her eyebrows raised. And I sense something is going on. So I said, “High blood?” And she said yeah! Well, I am not surprise this runs in our family or could be from being so nervous. When she was done, the doctor came. I told her about my condition. She did a personal check up. She did check my breast and said they are fine. I was relieved. Then, she did the Pap smear. It was my first time so it was really awkward. But it wasn’t really as bad as what I think. She said my cervix is fine. But she recommended to have an ultra sound because my problem could be in my ovaries. And this is really what I thought. She told me not worry and there is nothing serious about it. Well, I am kind of 60% relieved now. I still have to do the ultra sound though. And this worries me. But I am hopping for the best. I will pray to God that everything will be okay.

I am so thankful for having a husband who is very supportive and positive. He gave me strength when I was so scared in the clinic.

Thank you my Dear. I love you.

WATCHING TOO MUCH TV!

2009-09-06T19:25:00.000-07:00

I ended up staying all night last night and most of the time during the day today. My husband and I went to bed past 10:00 this morning and wake at around 1:00pm. Just about three hours of sleep. We couldn’t stop watching our favorite TV shows “Heroes” which came on the mail few days ago. It’s getting better and better every episode that you wanted to know what happens next. We’ve been waiting for Season Three to arrive for a long time. And now we have it. Well, to me it is really a good show. But the effect of having just three hours of sleep, I woke up with my eyes hurting. They were red and kind of gross. I hate it. I don’t know if it stress from watching movie all night and day. So, I promise I won’t stay that late anymore. I learned my lesson.

STOLEN DINNER!

2009-09-03T21:54:00.000-07:00

I was so surprised when my husband called at around 4pm yesterday. It was too early. He normally calls me between 8 and 9pm. I was scared thinking something was wrong. I was relieved when he asked me if he left his dinner in the fridge. So, I checked and told him it was not there. Then, he said that his food was stolen. Somebody must have taken it from the fridge in their breakroom either by accident or not. I don’t know but it was kind of funny. I never expect event like this to happen. But he was pissed off. He was eating hamburger instead of his favorite dinner. I told him my brother’s story when he was in the fifth grade that somebody stole his lunch too. But the point is they were kids but this guy whoever he is, is not a kid. He called few minutes ago. I asked him if the lunch box has been returned thinking that if it was an accident at least he’ll returned it. But my husband said that his lunch box never returned. He learned his lesson I guess because today he was guarding his lunch. He did not put it IN their fridge anymore. Funny! Well, I will do the same too. My husband and I hoped that whoever took it had enjoyed his super spicy dinner and learned his lesson. LOL.

2009-09-02T20:51:00.000-07:00

This is one of our favorite songs that my brothers and sisters used to sing when we do karaoke. i really miss it. I had visited my family twice but we never did karaoke. I spent my whole time talking with them. That is all. It was fun. May be next time. Hopefully.

BORED!

2009-08-09T15:23:00.001-07:00

My husband is still installing that new surround sound that we bought last night. So, I can't watch TV for now. Last Sunday the same, I got bored too because he was doing stuff to his new TV and new blu-ray player. So, I don't know what's gonna be next Sunday. But maybe everything is okay. We already got what we wanted. Truly, we got more than enough already. So, I am here spending my boring time typing. Bla bla bla bla...

GO AWAY SUMMER!

2009-07-28T21:29:00.000-07:00

I am so done of this heat. I want summer to be over. I am so ready for winter. My gosh! My room is supper hot. My kids were cranky today even the teachers from being so hot I can not imagine what will happen to us tomorrow since it’s gonna be almost hundred degrees. It’s gonna be like hell. I think I am going to die. Please let this summer be over. I can’t take it anymore.

PLAN FOR PHILIPPINE TRIP!

2009-07-20T20:50:00.000-07:00

I just got a call from my husband. I am happy and excited. He already reserved the last week of January and the first week of February. Oh my God! I almost cried. I have been asking him to visit my family in the Philippines during our sitio fiesta so that I can get a chance to see most of my relatives and old friends. To me, this day is the best day to meet them. We’ve been there two times already but I did not get any chance to see them for so many reasons. At least on fiesta they have the reason to come. I am happy. God please give us both good healths so that we can visit my family as we plan.

Thank you GOD!

FIRST TIME SAILING!

2009-07-06T20:26:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my husband and I went to the marina. When we got there his brother was already waiting and getting ready to sail. He just got this boat not long ago. My brother in law loves boat. He buys boat and do some stuff to it and sell it. I don’t know if he’s going to sell this boat soon. But anyway, I got excited because it was my first time sailing. I was scared too that I might got sick and puke and everything. But to my surprise I did not. I got a little headache. And that’s about it. It was funny they let me help by holding those ropes which have a different names. I was like what is that? What are you talking about? It was cool that I was a captain for a little bit although I almost hit the barge. Hahahaha.. I got scared at the same time when the boat is leaning to the side looked like it was about to tip over. Wow! But over all it was fun. And it was different weekend for me and my husband. We are planning to go on sailing again this Saturday. Can’t wait.

Here are some pictures which we took during the sailing:

This is the marina where we go to

Just me being silly.

My husband and his brother.

I guess my brother in law likes the fruit salad I made.

THE ANSWER!

2009-05-22T19:25:00.000-07:00

So in answer to my last post, I just found out this afternoon when I got home from work the reason why my friend did not answer all my calls. There was an urgent call yesterday from her boss to go to work. And they did not finish early. And then after work her and her husband had dinner. Poor me, waiting for her call the whole night at least to tell me the reason why she blew-up the whole plan “again”. There was no call from her. But to be honest I did not get mad. I was just frustrated thinking that she did it again. I was gonna stop trusting her since this is not the first time. But in fairness to her, I got her message today explaining the whole thing. And that she called me earlier yesterday on my cell to abort the plan. But gee…. My cell was off at work. And when I turned it on there was no sign of voicemail or something like it used to. Damn! So, after she told me that she left a voice message, I checked my voicemail right away. And yes, it was there. Gosh, now I feel guilty. Sorry my friend. It was my cellphone’s bad. Opssss…

But I am really glad that you folks are fine.

I AM WAITING!

2009-05-21T17:23:00.000-07:00

I’ve been sitting here for a while waiting for my friend to call me back. She called me yesterday. And we decided to go for a walk at that place called Greenlake. I told her that I have to go home after work to make my husband’s lunch. And when I am done I will call her. Yes, I had finished cooking a long time ago and I called her 3 times already. But I did not get any feedback yet. I don’t know if there is something going on or what. I called her home phone, her cell phone and her husband’s phone. But no one answered. I was so excited earlier but now it’s gone. I got headache instead. I just called her home phone again like less than a minute ago but still nobody’s answering. Well, I will wait for a little bit. If there is no call its means we are not going. I am hoping that everything with her is fine.

LIFE IS TOUGH!

2009-05-19T20:00:00.000-07:00

It’s been two nights in a row that I have not gotten enough sleep. No matter how I tried to close my eyes and put myself to sleep I still can’t. There are few things bothering me right now. I still have not get a positive feedback regarding the project that we are working on back home. It’s been a month. There are times that I am losing hope. But I think as long as they are still working on it, there is still hope. I’ve been so stress at work too. Oh, how I wish I was born rich then I don’t have to work. But too bad I was born poor. So no matter how stressful my work is and no matter how tired I am I have no choice but to deal with it. Gosh! What a tough life.

TAG!

2009-05-18T17:56:00.001-07:00

I got this award from my friend Vivien. Vivien and I are friends for more than 3 years. We came from the same island, Cebu. I knew her through a friend. It was a blessing. We met a few times when we were still in Cebu. And we stayed in the same hotel in Manila when we were processing our k1 visa in which she was of great help. We’re both in US right now but in different states. But we still communicate. She is far from me and I am far from her. But you know what? She is my closest friend and a dear friend.

Anyway, thanks for this award Vien. God bless your.

And give this award to my co-bloggers: tipsandcara and Marley

SCARY BEAR!

2009-05-18T17:39:00.000-07:00

I was so thankful to my co-worker, a very nice lady who gave me a ride home. It was a perfect timing that Ashley was on her break and I was about to walk to the bus stop. I was scared to walk and stand at the bus stop. We just found out that there were people who saw a bear 2 blocks away from work. I don’t know if they find it yet. But when I left work two helicopters were on bear hunting. It’s crazy! Where did the bear come from? I have not seen bear in real, only on TV. I hope they caught it. Then, I don’t have to worry tomorrow on my way to work. Scary!

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY PA!

2009-05-14T18:48:00.000-07:00

I was wondering the whole day yesterday why my dream was that weird. Early morning yesterday I woke up with a weird dream. In my dream, I was in a bad mood because of that water pump that we are working on back home. The reason why I was mad wasn’t clear. But I knew I raised my voice to the people I was talking to; my brothers, mama, my family. I thought I scared them because they just bowed their heads down and said nothing. But somebody from behind talked back in a sort of angry manner. It was my father. And I yelled back at him. It was funny because I was yelling at him in English. I bet was really mad. Then I woke up. I got scared. I dream of my father a lot. But he is usually calm and just sort of part of the crowd. He says only a sentence, a way of saying “hi, I am here. I am visiting”. But in that dream I yelled at him. I never raised my voice with him or talked to him like that when he was alive. But in that dream I yelled. I was so guilty. I was trying to ponder what the meaning of that dream was. I did not realized until later today that yesterday was his birthday, May 13th. He is 59 years old. Oh my gosh! I forgot and even Mama and the rest forgot. Now I am guiltier.

Sorry Pa. There are so many things going on in my head which made me forget things even the most special one. But I guess it’s not too late to greet you.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA. YOU MAY REST IN PEACE. WE LOVE YOU.

PAPA!

2009-05-13T21:51:00.000-07:00

My papa passed away November of 2004. He had a stroke and was in coma for 3 days before he finally gave up. He did not say anything before he went to coma. There was no sign at all that he is leaving us, although he kept asking for my sisters who were not present on that morning in the hospital. He was complaining that severe pain in his head and his stomach. He always wanted food because he was hungry. He was vomiting. He told me that he wanted to sleep and he closed his eyes. He was still puking. I was relived when he was asleep and so were my brothers. But then he never woke up after that. We tried waking him up and so the doctors but he remained sleeping. He looked so pale on that first day. On the second day we’re hoping for his recovery since he looked better. He was not as pale as the first day but still he was sleeping. We kept waking him up but no response. There were several times that we saw tears running down on his cheeks. I don’t know or we don’t know if he wanted to say something but he can’t say it. He had a fever in that afternoon, a high fever. We managed to move him to an air-conditioned room hoping it will calm down his fever. He was better for a while. But very early on that third day, he started flinching. We tried to calm him down by talking to him until he stopped. But he did it again and again. The doctor was telling us that a respirator will help. So we agreed. When everything was ready, they put the tube into my father’s mouth down to his throat. Papa was in so much pain. I was not in the room but I saw his feet twisting everytime they tried to push the tube down to his throat. My brother was screaming to stop them. “Stop! Are you trying to kill my father?” this is what my brother said. We were glad that his regular doctor came. He did the procedure smooth and easy. He was yelling at the other doctors for not using the right tube. The one they tried was too big and it probably sliced his throat. When I went to the room it was so messy and wet. They had to clean the blood that came out from my father’s mouth. I don’t know how much blood was there. After that everything seemed fine. Papa looked calm and in peace. But it only took about 3 or 4 hours and then he was flinching again. Doctors and nurses came and did everything but I guess he was already tired. We asked them to stop doing the CPR after doing it several times and there was no response. We were waiting until our father gave up his last breath. It was so painful. All of us were not ready. I miss him all the time. And may be he missed us too. All I know he visits me in my dreams often.

PAPA HOPE YOU ARE IN GOD’S LOVE AND PEACE. WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

SLEEPING RANDY!

2009-05-01T15:22:00.000-07:00

He is soooo cute. Sometime, he gets so tired that he falls asleep at the table.

NEW MOTORCYCLE!

2009-04-28T18:36:00.000-07:00

This is the brand new motorcycle that my husband bought when we were in the Philippines for my brother Gado. He just arrived from picking up this from the dealer. Gado drives motorcycle for a living. And his old motorcycle is really old. It still runs but it has a lot of problems. So my husband decided to buy him a new one. My brother is so lucky. I hope he’ll take care of this and use this for the good of his family and of everybody.

Thanks to my generous husband. I really appreciate the care that he gave to my family. And this made me lucky to have him. Thank you so much.

CATMON BEACH!

2009-04-27T20:21:00.000-07:00

This is 3/4 of the people who joined us at the beach when we were on our vacation; my immediate family, relatives, neighbors and neighbors' girlfriends. Most of them I know and some I don't. I did not have a chance to capture some of them because they already went swimming and some were cooking. Plus, it was already dark. We got there late. We shouldered all the expenses from food, transportation, beach entrance and everything like we did last year. We managed to hired a mini-bus and a jeep for all of these people while my husband and I hired a taxi. It was expensive in terms of Phil money. But the smile, the joy, the laughter and the excitement of these people are more than everything. Watching them having fun was more than enough and watching my husband having fun being with these people was a satisfaction.

LONG, LONG, LONG DAY!

2009-04-23T20:37:00.001-07:00

I had a long day at work today. I started at 6:30 as always and they let me stay until 5:30. But I managed to get off later than 5:30. My body feels heavy not because of being fat but because I am so tired. So now I don’t want to do anything. I don’t even want to think of tomorrow because tomorrow is another long day. We’ll be closed at 4:30 and spend the last two hours in cleaning our rooms. Gosh! I am not even excited of my Saturday because it will be the longest day of the week for me. I have to baby-sit from morning until maybe midnight. (I hope not until midnight.) Gosh! What a torture to myself. But it’s okay. I spent all my money from our vacation. So now I have to work so hard to replace my lost savings. Plus I still have project to finish back home. So double hard work.

VACATION IS OVER!

2009-04-20T17:16:00.000-07:00

Vacation is over. I am back. It was hot and sticky in the Philippines when we were there. But, we still enjoyed every single day of our trip. It was so good to see my family again. I got to hug and kiss them. Of course there were tears for a while. My nieces and nephews have grown so much already. Last year, the oldest was just a kid but now she is so grown up. Amazing! The youngest of them still did the same thing. He cried the moment he saw me and my husband. It broke my heart but I understood. He only saw us twice. He was getting better though a couple days before we left. He even let my husband feed him. It was so much FUN. I will find time to post some of the pictures that we took during our trip.

See you…

FEELIN' BLUE!

2009-03-26T18:08:00.000-07:00

I woke with a sore throat today. And I think I have a fever. But I am just ignoring it. I am sure I got this one from work. Our cook has been sick. I talked to her today and found out that we have the same symptoms. My kids at work have been throwing up and having diarrhea. Scary! But so much for my health. I got home late today because I went to the bank to deposit my paycheck. How I wish my work has a direct deposit so that I don’t have to go to the bank. It is so annoying. I have to walk plus I have to wait for the bus which sometimes does not show up on time. I want to cry. I really don’t know if my husband will teach me how to drive. May be not. But, I managed to get home. I got sadder when I found out something and even sadder when I found out another thing. It is breaking my heart. I hate it when I wanted to cry but I can’t How I wish I can share these to you guys but I can’t since these matters are personal.

Anyway, hoping that writing something here would help ease the pain I feel right now. I know I need to rest well but I don’t know if I can. How can I?

PACKING TIME!

2009-03-24T20:21:00.000-07:00

I got lazy to pack now that we are almost ready for packing for our trip (Just almost because I still have things that I wanted to buy to take home). Well, there are so many things need to be packed. Every time I open the other room where we stock all the stuff that we need to pack, I always turn around and just kind of ignore them. I don’t know where to start. I still don’t know how to stock those more than 10 pairs of shoes plus other things in the suitcase. We probably need a big box for them. I think this is one of the things that I don’t like when I travel, the packing. Anyway, I still have about two weeks left to figure things out. My husband is good at this. I should not let these things bother me. But honestly I am excited for this. I am excited to be off work for at least two weeks and just relax and enjoy my time family.

SUNSHINE!

2009-03-24T19:57:00.000-07:00

I am trying to show you guys how fun being with kids. How much joy they'll give to you. The cute girl's name is Christina and the boy is Cian.

BRACELET!

2009-03-24T19:49:00.000-07:00

My Filipina friend at work sold this bracelet to me for $200 which I can pay in two gives. It is 10k gold bracelet with diamond chips and the original price was $399. She got this one a while ago. And since it is getting smaller on her, she was selling it to me. It is kind of cute. I was not 100% sure of buying this but I bought it anyway. My husband does not like diamond very much. Well, so do I. But I hope I have a good bargain with this bracelet. I know that the price of gold is gone up and diamond is really expensive. Even if my husband knew about this but I am still a little guilty of buying this. Sorry honey!!!

PINK EYE AGAIN!

2009-03-19T19:02:00.000-07:00

I got pink eye again. This is so embarrassing. I just got this about two months ago. This is not cool. I miss another day at work because of this which I really don’t like since I need money for our trip to the Philippines. I don’t know what is going on. I don’t know if I got this from my kid the other day. But I was not sure though if she got pink eye since she did not come to school after she had her doctor’s appointment. I did a lot of research about pink eye. And it is scaring me. Oh my God! Take this pink eye away from me.

SHOPPING FOR PASALUBONG!

2009-03-18T21:40:00.001-07:00

We are leaving in about two weeks from now for Philippines. That is why I was really busy shopping lately. In fact my husband and I spent our weekend at the store. We bought more than 10 pairs of shoes for my brothers, sisters and nieces. And don’t even think that I am done shopping. Not yet! I did shop more stuff today. I got off work early so I had time to go to the store and bought some clothes for my nieces and nephews, the little ones. Gosh! Shopping worn me out. I spent more than two hours at the store. And still I am not done yet. I still have to shop for mama and my two sisters in law. I know it is more expensive shopping for pasalubong here than in the Philippines but I just want to buy some things here for them. My husband was laughing because most of the stuff here is made from the other countries. This weekend I bought a blouse and when I got home I found out that it was made from the Philippines. I think my family does not really care where they are made from. But I just want to make them happy by bringing something from here. I hope I can finish my shopping this weekend. Then, I can start packing.

FACEBOOK!

2009-03-06T21:04:00.000-08:00

Facebook not safe?
This scares me. I just signed up facebook about a week or two ago. It was nice because I found a way to communicate my friends especially my friends at work but recently, things went bad. I can log in to my account but I can not do anything. I can not write messages. I can not response my friends. I can not do anything. It started to piss me off. I tried to disable my account but I can not do it because it is not responding. Then, I just read an article saying that facebook has five security threats. Ouch!!! And there are these koobface and other worms which have been targeting facebook. Koobface is dangerous. It can be dropped by other malware and downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting malicious web sites (although I don’t visit malicious web sites hehehe). But how about youtube? Oh man!!!! Honestly I am experiencing some problems now after I signed up facebook. I don’t know if this is just a coincidence or not since I really don’t know much about computer (I don’t know what sites or whatever is harmful to the computer to be specific). I am devastated right now. My husband’s gonna kill me.

GLAD IT'S FRIDAY!

2009-03-06T20:21:00.000-08:00

I am so glad that today is Friday. I feel so tired and my back is aching. I am still coughing once in a while. But it isn’t as bad as before. I wanted this month to end right away so that my husband and I can enjoy our vacation. I am looking forward to sleep longer than usual, not hearing the alarm clock in the morning, not cutting papers at night for the next day’s activity and not to think about work. But it feels weird because it seems that days are going so slow. I think I needed a vacation so badly. VACATION…. VACATION…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SIS GING-GING!

2009-03-02T20:09:00.000-08:00

Happy birthday Ging!!!! Take care always....

JUST LONELY! (SING ME YOUR SONG AGAIN DADDY)

2009-02-25T22:17:00.000-08:00

This is for my Papa!

I miss my Papa. How I wish he's still with us right now. It is really having no father. It made my family not complete. I am just lucky to have my mama who is strong enough to stand as a mother and a father to all of us. You may rest in peace Pa. We love you.

FINALLY!

2009-02-24T21:04:00.000-08:00

I was so tired today. I did not get enough sleep last night. I went to bed pretty early but I just could not sleep. I hate when it happens to me. I do not know if just got excited that our vacation to the Philippines has been finalized. I can not wait to see my family again; my mama, brothers, sisters and of course my nieces and nephews. I wonder how big they are now. I hope our second vacation will be more fun than the last time. heyeyyy!!!! I’m comin’ home.

(TRY IT) ON MY OWN!

2009-02-23T19:51:00.000-08:00

(Try It) On My Own - Sheryn Regis
I'm wiser now
Im not the foolish girl you used to know
So long ago
I'm stronger now
I've learned from my mistakes which way to go
And I should know
I put myself aside to do it my way
But now i need to do it all alone

(Hook)
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel no matter what I'll keep it real
You know
Time for me to do it on my own

(Verse 2)
It's over now
I can't go back to living through your eyes
To many lies
And if you dont know by now
I cant go back to being someone else
not anymore
I never had the chance to do it my way
So now it's time for me to take control

(Hook)
And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel no matter what I'm gonna keep it real
You know
Time for me to do it on my own

(Verse 3)
Oh, I start again go back to one
I'm running things in my way
cant stop me now I've just begun
Don't even think about
It there aint no way about it
I'm taking names go down the line
Yes I'm gonna take my turn
It's time for me to
Finally stand alone
Stand alone

(Hook)ad libs
I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if im right or wrong
I'll live my life the way i feel no matter what I'm gonna keep it real
You know
It's time for me to do it

See I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if im right or wrong
I'll live my life the way i feel no matter what I'm gonna keep it real
You know
It's time for me to do it on my own

KIDS' VALENTINES PARTY!

2009-02-17T20:42:00.000-08:00

We took their shirts off 'coz we did not have bibs and we did not want them to get dirty. They had so much fun. Thanks to all the parents who were very supportive and made this party happened.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA!

2009-02-17T19:52:00.000-08:00

Today is my mom’s 59th birthday (Philippine time). I was thinking of calling her to greet her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. But then, those who have a better cellphone aren’t home. My two brothers who are at home are both have broken cellphones. My mom can’t hear me when I talk to her using my brothers’ cellphones. I did send text to my sister to send my greetings to mama but of course no reply from her since there is no signal in her work place. And I did send the same text to my niece but she is at school. But she promised me that she’ll send my greetings to mama. It is sad being away from home and can’t be there on your mama’s special day. I hope they’ll do something for mama to make her happy, at least on her birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA. I LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOU.

SIDELINE!

2009-02-09T20:32:00.000-08:00

I spent my Saturday and Sunday baby-sitting just to earn extra money. I have 2 days off work this coming payday. That is why I was trying to earn money on the weekend to cover up my paycheck. I got bad cough and cold so I wasn’t really feeling well but still I managed it. Still my throat hurt. My cough is giving me headache. But I would say that I am better now than the last three days. I got more energy and spirit. I take medicine if my husband reminds me. LOL. Crazy me.

DRY COUGH, PAINFUL THROAT!

2009-02-02T21:36:00.000-08:00

A week or two ago I was complaining about my throat hurting. It sort of comes and goes. And right now, I have it, plus dry cough. My throat is painful especially when I cough. I am taking Benadryl at night. Few nights ago it seemed that the medicine was working. But last night I was bothered by the cough. I was coughing and coughing a lot eventhough I took the medicine. Oh… I hate cough. I hope it will go away very soon. And I hope my voice will not go away since I feel like it. I was wondering if I am allergic to something or I just got this from my kids at work. I tried drinking much water as much as I can since I’m not good drinker. Hoping this will help.

BUSY WEEKEND!

2009-02-02T21:18:00.000-08:00

I had a busy weekend which was good. Saturday, I was baby-sitting from 8:00 am to 6:00pm. It was not bad at all. Since I had good night sleep the night before I was not tired during the day. Well, it was kind of boring though. There wasn’t so much to do. These kids were sleeping most of the time which gave me ample time to watch Sister Act 2. I saw some parts of it on TV but not really the whole story. And yes I was entertained by it. It was cool all in all since they gave me $120. Pretty good sideline, huh. But I left the household chores undone on that day. So I spent my Sunday doing these chores. I was sad because I did not have time with my hubby. It is really hard having different schedule, him working night and me working day. But what else can I do except to embrace the reality that we are opposite in terms of time.

PINK EYE!

2009-01-23T21:46:00.000-08:00

I got up about 12:00 this morning and I felt that my left eye was heavy and stuck close but I kind of ignore it and went back to sleep. Then my alarm went off at 5:00 and got up. My left eye still hurts and was stuck closed. It was covered with green mucous. (Sorry, if it sounds gross.) I decided not to go to work since it hurts and it itches. I don’t know if I got this from work since there are several people who had this case last week. Or if this is related to my sore throat that I was complaining about which started 4 or 5 days ago. But I think my throat is a lot better now. I did not go to the doctor nor applied medicine in it. I am hoping it will go away very soon. And if not maybe I need to see a doctor to get medicine for this. Bad day! I did not want to miss work because I needed money. But what else can I do. Hope it will get better.

MY THROAT HURTS!

2009-01-22T21:04:00.000-08:00

It’s been three days that my throat is bugging me. It hurts and it hurts more at night. Maybe because my mind and my body are not that busy that I can really pay attention to the pain. I might be getting a cold? I hate colds. I did not take medicine for this. I’m not really sure what kind of medicine is good for this. But I drink a lot of water and I hope it will help because I don’t want to get sick.

LESSON TO LEARN!

2009-01-21T21:29:00.000-08:00

I learned my lesson this morning to use the elevator going down instead of stairs especially this kind of weather. At 6:00 this morning I was in a hurry to go down the stairs thinking that I’m going to miss my bus. I don’t want it to happen. I don’t want to wait for another half an hour and I don’t want to be late at work. It is really hard if you don’t know how to drive and just take the bus. But anyway, since I was in a hurry I did not notice how slippery it was. When I was a step away from the stairs my foot slipped. I was lucky enough that my foot slipped sideways and not towards the stairs. I tried to grab the railing to give support to myself. I had three attempts before I could finally grab it because it was also slippery. I don’t want to fall from the third floor. That could hurt a lot. I should have learned my lesson the first time I almost fell. And take note on the same spot. I have phobia with elevators that is why I prefer the stairs. But I made a promise to myself to use the elevator now. I’m afraid I couldn’t help myself anymore the third time.

BLU-RAY PLAYER NO GOOD!

2009-01-19T20:38:00.000-08:00

Lately, our blu-ray player is acting weird. If you play DVD in it, it has no problem at all. It will play right away. But sometimes it doesn’t on blu-ray disk. A couple weeks ago, we rented Eagle Eye in blu-ray. It played great until the middle of the movie, the thrilling part of the movie. Great! My husband did a lot of tricks but it did not work. We put another blu-ray disk. Huh! It did not play at all. It did not work last night either and so tonight. I was gonna watch Sixth Sense in blu-ray but the player did not play. It pissed me off. Maybe this brand is not really good. I don’t know maybe we need to buy another blu-ray player. What a waste of money!

DOES MONDAY MAKE YOU TIRED AND LAZY?

Monday! I don’t know why Monday makes me lazy. I went to work today and felt so tired. I almost fell asleep at work. I don’t know if I am still adjusting my weekend schedule. It’s been what, two years that I have this strange weekend schedule of mine? I sleep at day time on Sundays and maybe this is the reason why that I can’t sleep at night. No matter how much I tried to close my eyes, no matter what position I am in, no matter how I tried to think of happy thoughts just to put my brain to sleep but they don’t work most of the time. Last night though, I was able to sleep maybe about 2 hours, which made me glad. But still I felt so tired at work today. Maybe I should drink coffee again in the morning. This might help.

FUN CHATTING WITH MY FAMILY!

2009-01-16T23:43:00.000-08:00

I had fun talking to my family tonight. I think we talked for over 3 hours. I can’t believe it was that long. It only seemed an hour to me. I was so glad to see mom’s face, my sister’s and my niece’s. Thanks! The internet was working for us tonight. I was frustrated last Saturday. We scheduled to chat and when they went to this café’ there was no computer available and they waited for a while. Then, they decided to find another one. But they were not lucky because there was no internet connection. I waited for them until midnight but they finally gave up. Well, maybe it wasn’t our chance. And today we finally got it. It was so nice to hear mom talking about my nieces and nephews especially the younger ones, how fun they are, and that they can do this and that, hearing about my other sisters and brothers. It made me miss them so much and I wanted to fly home just to see them and hug them. I am glad though that everybody is in good health. I hope we can finalize our plan to visit to the Philippines this year and see my family once again. I think of this all night. In fact, when I have trouble sleeping I think of them, I think of myself being with them until I fall asleep. I think I got coco in my head now. I hope I can visit home soon. I hope.

TIPS!

2009-01-16T18:32:00.000-08:00

I found these beauty tips when I was browsing the net. I just wanna share these tips to all the women out there.

Beauty Tips
written by Sam Levenson

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years -only grows!

Stay beautiful...

TIME TO RELAX!

2009-01-15T21:22:00.000-08:00

I gave myself a break today from cutting papers for classroom decorations and kids’ arts. I told myself that I had enough for this week. So, I watched an older movie called “Inside Man which I didn’t appreciate the first and the second time I was watching it. Of course, how can I, when I fell asleep those times. It is a good movie. And right now, I’m just listening to music which I saved in my imeem. Ahhh… It makes me feel good and relaxed. And to make myself busier I took pictures of myself. Ehwww… These pictures reminded me again of how fat I am now. No wonder why husband keeps saying I’m gonna put you in a diet. Hehehe… Well, whatever.

Happy Birthday Maggy.

CLASSROOM CONTEST!

2009-01-12T21:06:00.000-08:00

I am so stress right now because of this CLASSROOM CONTEST which happens every month now. It used to be every season but they informed us just last Friday that it’s gonna be every month. And it is almost the middle of the month but I am not done decorating my classroom yet. I spent my whole weekend cutting papers for my classroom to make it look new. Still thinking what more design I can do and I got headache. So I ended up browsing something else just to redirect my brain. Last contest I was a little bit disappointed. Kasi naman ang classroom na nanalo ay hindi talaga maganda. There was less effort. Ewan ko kung bakit ganoon. Hindi ko kasi alam ang criteria nila. Dahil siguro sa pagrereklamo ng guro sa classroom na yon. Hehehe. But anyway, I am not looking forward to win anymore. Kasi, parang walang pag-asa para sa akin. I have to do this for my kids. And besides, I enjoy cutting papers and making designs.

O sige, I gotta go now. I got things to prepare for tomorrow.

STAYING LATE!

2008-10-27T21:17:00.001-07:00

I felt so tired today after work. I can hardly move because my body really hurt. I did not get enough sleep last night. I slept about 4 hours only. It was my fault though because I stayed late watching an older movie called “Patch Adam”. It is a true story and a good movie. I enjoyed it so much that I did not pay attention to the time. Although it is a serious movie but it also makes you laugh.

HALLOWEEN!

MY RELIGIOUS LIFE!

I've been in U.S. for more than two years already. And it is more than two years that I've never been to church like what I normally did when I was in the Philippines. I feel guilty. My husband and I have different faith. Although, this is not really the main reason why I do not go to church. There is more. But even if I do not go to church, I still believe in Him, pray to Him privately. But I know this isn't enough. This is the reason why I am guilty. I pray that He will forgive me for all my shortcomings.

CHATTING!

2008-10-21T20:29:00.000-07:00

I chatted with my sister last Friday evening our time. Mama was with her and my niece. It gotten sentimental when my mama saw me the my web cam. She was crying. She made me cry too. Oh God! I miss them so much. But after a while my mama calmed down and we were able to talk through headphone. She did not hear me very well since some of the people at the café were noisy. I had to type what I had to say when she did not hear me. We still had good times. We talked a lot of things. I wanted to talk to them longer but it was getting too late for me. I was planning to call them soon. I am happy to see my mama’s face, my sister’ and my niece’.

ARTS DONE!

2008-10-15T21:19:00.000-07:00

At last I have finished decorating my kids’ arts. Eventhough the information was passed very late but I was still able to make these look nicer. But I am so tired doing it myself. My whole body is aching. I got headache. My neck hurts and my arms. My back hurts. I feel like I don’t want to go to work tomorrow but I need money. Damn! It is always money. I am not a material girl. Only Madonna is. We need money for many reasons. And I think you why. Well, I need to rest now. How I wish my husband is here. I need somebody to put oil on my back to ease the pain. But it’s ok. I’ll just rest and hope this will get better tomorrow when I wake up. Good night everyone.

BAD AND GOOD!

2008-10-14T20:36:00.000-07:00

I got bad hit and good hit today. Let’s start with the bad first. Well, our assistant director came up to my classroom today and told me that we are going to have another art exhibit. It is not really a big deal to me until I learned about the date. It will happen this Friday. Are you kidding me? How can we do this within two days period? You know where our arts go? Huh! I told her that it is too close to the deadline. Then, she told me that she informed me two weeks ago? What? I did not remember that. I did not remember her coming in, telling me or us about this coming exhibit. She reasoned out saying, “Well if it wasn’t you it was your partner that I told.” But my partner did not know about this, not until I told her. I found out from the other teachers that they were just informed today too. I don’t know. This makes me crazy. I don’t know why they are doing this.

Good hit!

I got a camera. It just made me happy because I got it for free which is to me is really good deal. Although it wasn’t know since my husband does not want me to buy my own camera. He wanted me to use his. It is not very comfortable for me using his camera. I wanted my own. But I am glad that I was being patient. Now I got the reward a good camera for free.

COOL DAY!

2008-10-13T20:42:00.000-07:00

My Sunday was cool. I did not do anything except finishing my laundry and making my husband’s lunch for today. The rest of my afternoon was spent on watching movies. My brother in law was here. He needed help about picture. I did not know what kind of help because I was not really interested. My brother in law baked banana bread. Yum! That was good. I hope I can still remember how he made it. I am planning to make the same if and when I have time or if I feel like doing it. He was really patient of teaching me about little things. He also brought a lot of books for me. Gosh! I don’t know when I can finish reading all of them especially I’m kind of busy with my job. But anyway, there was no deadline hehehe. So I think I’m safe.

EXTRA INCOME!

2008-10-13T20:31:00.000-07:00

It is really nice to have sideline job for extra income. That was actually what I did this past Saturday. I was baby-sitting. It made me so tired at the end of the day though. I lost all my energy at the end of the day. But I’m trying to console myself by looking the bright side of it. And beside, it wasn’t bad. Payment was okay. And the good thing is they’ll pick me up and drive me home. Isn’t that sweet of them? Well, these families are really nice. They asked me if I can make it this 8th of November. Oh! This is going to be a long day. But I told them I have to check my schedule first. It’s still hard for me to work on weekend since this is the only time that I can be with my husband. My mind really wanted to work but body is saying no. But we’ll see.

PEACE!

PEACE TO YOU GUYS!

What happened in my classroom this morning was kinda scary. I couldn’t believe two people yelling at each other in my classroom in front of my kids. It was because of a very simple thing, simple thing which almost created a fire. I had no idea how the kids reacted about the situation or may be they were not aware of what was going on. Huhh.. I was scared that they won’t stop. I didn’t know what to do. I thought they gonna throw each other something. It would be a serious trouble. But I was glad when one of them decided to go to the office. And there it stopped. These people were acting like children. Hehehehe..

NAG INUSARANG AKO!

2008-10-04T17:19:00.000-07:00

I am home alone right now. I am kinda scared because it so windy outside. I am scared too that the power will go off because of the wind. My husband is so busy with his son fixing the computer, my husband’s friend’s computer. Right now, I don’t know where they go, maybe going to the store. I am bored while they are having fun. Huh! I already watched all the hero episodes from the internet. I should do something. I’ll just take a shower para mabugnawan ang akong ulo. Hehehehe…
