2nd day ko na!

i survived my first day in my new sched. yeah, it was difficult given that i was only able to sleep for 5 hours. i never imagined that it is this difficult to get up in the morning after working for 12 hours and after sleeping for barely 5 hours. hay, ang hirap talagang kumita ng pera. hahaha... i just have to make this sacrifice so i can save up and get a part time job. i hope my health won't disappoint me. hehehe... btw, i won't recommend this shift to people who loves to sleep like me... hehehe...

bothered

me and my shiftmates had a blast yesterday. it was kenn's birthday and we had a lot of food during our shift. grabeh, sobrang busog kme lahat. kenn brought two dozens of crispy creme doughnuts. armi, kenn's gf, sent a birthday cake and ice cream. while mamu yvette and paula bought pizza for him. di pa dun natapos un, after the shift meron pang inuman. hehehe... ang saya talaga ng samahan ng mga taga-mid shift. next stop namin, baguio. by the end of june yun. hehehe...

-------------

my brother texted me last night. after a lot of years of that he had moved out of our house, not communicating and not even seeing my mom, he is suddenly asking us if he can move back in with us. yeah, his other woman had left him and went back to her family in laguna. she cant take the not so luxurious life my brother can offer. so, my brother is begging us if can move back.

it seems that the wounds from the past he had left my mom has not healed. though, my mom still thinks about him. yeah, mothers will always be mothers but i definitely think there is a limitation to all of it. and i guess, my mom had reached that already. i cant blame her for i was there when everything had happened. i just dunno what her decision will be. i just hope its the best for all of us.

i just had time to go back to my ob-gyn today. syempre, inuna ko muna ung outing bago ako bumalik sa doktor. hehehe...

to be honest, i was so afraid to go back and have my lab tests and ultrasound results interpreted that i might discover a fatal illness. hehehe... paranoid. i just can't help it. i am the only person my mom is depending on. i can't disappoint her.

going to the results, everything was normal except that i have polycystic ovaries that i already know from the day i got the sonography result. i was just so relieved that i just need to take humamet to correct my irregular menstruation and polycystic ovaries. my ob said that people who have polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant. so she prescribed humamet (generic name: metformin) an insulin-sensitizing drug which will also help to reduce my weight because this is also a major factor for irregular menstruation. so, dont be surprised guys if one day you see me a lot thinner than i used to be. :)

did u vote?

may 14: election day, philippines. just before noon, a lot of election related violence have been reported on tv. sad. a lot of people are very much willing to end each other's lives for the sake of power. tsk... tsk... tsk...

today, just like the previous elections that was held in our country, i exercised
my right to vote. yeah, i am still hoping for a better philippines after all that have happened. i just hope many of us filipinos did the right thing... that each and everyone of us voted for the right candidates and made our voices heard. i am still hoping for a better politics and administration of the country. i hope that it will be sooner and will no longer be a dream.

mahirap maging mahirap

im not myself today. well, i can say partly that i am. i am not in a good mood today for some reason i dunno. i was feeling ok on my way to work. all of a sudden, i dont want to talk anymore. i am somewhat feeling indifferent. oh well, its one of my mood swings again. tsk... tsk...

on my way to work today, i was staring blankly to the places i pass by. yup, my mind's floating. i just realized how financially painful it is to contruct a new house. damn. i cant even think of any way to get a whopping 1.6M to build a simple 60 sqm house. yeah, that was the amount quoted by my grade school classmate and friend when we talked last thursday. to be honest, i got sad, knowing that i can not produce such amount of money in less than a year or even a year with the meager salary im getting monthly. i already considered getting a loan from pagibig fund but even if i get the loan, i am sure that the monthly amortization wont be less than 15k which unfortunately, i cannot afford. sad. i am so disappointed with myself. i just dunno what to do anymore that my head hurts.

di ko naman kse akalaing isang araw, kakailanganin naming umalis sa lugar na kinalakhan ko. hindi talaga sumagi sa isipan ko un. the past 28 years of my life was spent there. kung alam ko lang di sana mas nagsumikap akong mag-ipon. hay... buhay... parang life...

hindi ko alam kung saan ako dadalhin nito. i just hope i still manage to keep my sanity. my last resort na lang siguro is to get a job abroad para matupad ko lang tong pangarap ng nanay na magkaalis sa lugar namin at magkaroon ng sariling bahay at lupa. kayo na bahala sa akin Lord. :)

sweetness

everyone's a bit paranoid because of the impending re-shuffle of agents' scheds. well, i can only speak for the people in my shift. of course, a lot wouldn't want to move to a different shift. the same thing for me.

it just came to my attention that our office is offering a 12x3 shift wherein an agent will work for 12 hours a day in a 3 day work week. i am considering to be in that shift so i can save up on transportation and food allowances and hopefully, get a part time job. the downside is the shift will start at 9pm up until 9am the next day. paano na ang tulog ko?!!! hehehe... anyway, i still have to ask my mom what she thinks about it and i will decide later on. :)

----------

i've never been so happy in my shift. masaya kse ang mga tao sa shift ko. lalo na pag kumpleto kme sa inbound. i know some people have noticed that i changed. kse tahimik ako dati. ngayon, maingay, makulit, magulo at outspoken na ako. well, you can't blame me. that's the real me. i just dunno if my attitude towards work and my colleagues have changed, too. i can only assume that i didn't.
only the people around me can tell what is the real score. i just hope i have changed to a better person and not otherwise. i can only hope. :)

our stay at subic sweetwater last may 3-4 reminds me of the reality show survivors. refer to the photos and you will see where and how we cooked our food. this brought out the scouts in each of us. hehehe... but overall, i enjoyed the new place i saw and also the people i was able to spend time with. i hope we can do this again in the future. :)

subic sweetwater

may 3, 2007, destination: subic sweetwater in morong, bataan. we left makati at past 6:00am and reached dinalupihan, bataan at about 8:30 am. we went straight to rej's place and went to buy the stuff that we need for the outing. while in the market, i saw this interesting trike that the folks there used to travel around. this trike looks a lot like the "tuktuk" in china. all the while, i thought we were no longer in the philippines. hehehe...

the bataan version of "tuktuk" hehehe...

the busy street market of dinalupihan, bataan

we reached subic sweetwater at about 11:30am after a long drive from dinalupihan, bataan. we passed through the subic free port and exited at the morong gate. the place is really nice. tahimik... it's really an ideal place to relax. though, the place is not that fully developed yet and not a lot of people will like the accommodations. there are other accommodations though but they have been previously booked. for me, so long as there are comfort rooms and water, it does not matter. the cottage/room that we had reserved looked like a two-storey nipa hut to me minus the walls at its four sides so the air can freely pass through it. the air constantly blows but its temperature varies from hot to cold and vise versa. the following are the pics that i took during our stay there:

this is where we stayed. a modern two-storey nipa hut with a lot of fresh air :)
























this will be all for now. bibitinin ko muna kayo. hehehe... will blog more and post more pics tomorrow. :)
