freaky

it's been days since the last time i blogged. i just keep on forgetting that is why. my apologies. a lot of things happened. i had a busy rest days. mom's not feeling well. i think her old illness is coming back. she thinks too much about the problem brought by my brother. pasaway talaga! this caused her sleeping problems and eventually feeling her entire body tremble. i feel bad because i cannot do anything.

----

my mom told me that there is someone who is spying on us. there is a man who watches and stays in front of our house in the evenings on the time we turn off our lights. he seems to be looking for someone. freaky.

harry potter and the deathly hallows


the final book of the harry potter series has been released yesterday and a lot of the anticipating fans of the book had lined up to get their copies. as for me, i have to wait for the paper back copy because i cannot afford to buy the hardbound issue. too bad for me that i would be the last to know the conclusion of the most loved book of j.k.rowling. :)

-------

i feel weird today. i just dunno why. the right side of my head is aching. the reason i am not myself today. i hope i survive my entire shift.

SMS + vertigo

received this sms from a friend and i thought its sweet. :)

some of the best moments in life:

- lying in bed listening to the rain outside
- a long drive on a calm road
- finding money in your old jeans when you need it
- giggling over silly jokes
- holding hands with a friend
- getting a hug from someone who loves you
- the moment your eyes fill with tears after a big laugh

halata bang wala ako mai-post???!!! hehehe

--------

its the last day of my work week again. and i think i have vertigo. i have been feeling dizzy since yesterday which caused me to go home earlier than i usually do. i thought i am already well because i am feeling okay when i woke up this morning but while i was answering a questionnaire earlier, i felt dizzy again. oh well, i hope i only lack sleep.

reminiscing

last july 6, marked the 2nd year of my trip to the OR (operating room). yep, i had a lumpectomy of my left breast two years ago. and i can still vividly recall what transpired during my three day stay in the medical city.

i can still remember how nervous i was but was trying so hard to keep my composure because i dont want my mom to panic. it was still fresh on my mind how i pitied my mom because she does not want to leave my side when it was time for me to get into the operating room and she does not have anywhere to stay but go back to my room all alone. i can still remember how she narrated that she had a hard time going back to my room because she does not have anyone with her and the fact that she is bad with directions. during that time, i felt so helpless because i cannot do anything. for some obvious reason, i am the one lying on the hospital bed. though, it was just a minor surgery, i still had a hard time walking because it hurts whenever i move.
i was also the one who settled my hospital bill before i was discharged. that is how my mom depends on me... just like how i depend on her when i was still young. til now whenever i recall that moment, i can still feel my eyes get wet. yeah, sobrang naawa ako sa mga sarili namin. i realized that it was just the two of us and no one else so i have to be strong for my mom. enough of that sob story... let's move on to my next story.

-----

abba and i watched transformers last thursday... and of course, we pigged out... hehehe... just like what we do whenever we go out. btw, this is the first time we watched a movie together.

the movie was nice. the effects are good. it was the first time i see 3d robots doing a jet lee stunt. yup, robots spining in mid air while in a fight scene. hehehe... overall the movie is good. it seems like it will have a sequel. :)

ohh, i have to correct myself. the movie is awesome. hehehe... but wait, i am just wondering why bumblebee was not a beetle there when i can still remember watching a clip which was supposedly for that movie where a beetle is transforming into a robot???!!!! hmmm...

-----

i had a bad dream last night. someone from my family fell from a high flat form. all i remember was the blood on the floor. i dont even know if that person died but considering how high the flatform is suspended from the ground i doubt if it is still possible to be alive. and what hurts more is the fact that that person was arguing with me when that happened. i was so frightened. i just dunno why i suddenly dreamt of that. freaky.

new sched started today. i hope this works for me. :)

birthday greetings to those peeps i forgot to greet. my apologies.

new sched again

they just moved our 12x3 schedule. from the original 9am-9pm shift, they moved it two hours earlier. better??!! i honestly i dunno. i am yet to try it out starting sunday. again, wish me luck kids.

------

i know i blogged about my plan of quitting the 12x3 sched last week. unfortunately, i was not able to talk with rej last week regarding that. and up until now, i cannot decide if i really want to go back to my old sched because i enjoy the four days off a lot. bahala na si batman. :)

------

its the last day of my work week today. i will have a full packed off. hehehe... i will attend to some documents of the property we just acquired tomorrow. on thursday, abba and i will watch transformers the movie. hopefully on friday, i will be able to make some study for the paintings i am going to prepare for the art fair on november. yeah, after a long time, i am going to paint again. abba asked me if i want to join the art fair and i think it was a good idea. i still have more than 3 months to prepare that is why i agreed. i just hope i'll be able to finish 2-3 paintings. good luck ulit sa akin. hehehe...

bye for now. will blog again on sunday. :)

more booboos

last thursday, abba asked me to meet her at the LTO office in our town because she is going to claim her license. and so i did. when i arrived, she already had her license and was only waiting for me. she asked me to come with her to the gate in taytay to eat because she is craving for something she does not know. i was wearing a faded shirt and flipflops at nakarating ako dun. good thing, i was wearing jeans. we ate at star diner and had steak burger, angus burger and fries. nilibre ako ni babba. hehehe...

------

the next day, upon waking up. my mom and i received a letter from the landowner of the property we are purchasing. the letter says that our contract has been cancelled because of 5 months deliquency in paying our monthly amortization but it can be reinstated within 30 days after updating our account. we have been talking about this for months already. the monthly amortization for this property has been causing us a lot of financial difficulties. so we decided to finally pay the full amount to ease the burden of paying it monthly. on the same day, the property was fully paid. the downside is we have to take it out from the bank. the only money that we have. but come to think of it, it would be a lot easier for the both of us. now, all i need to think of is the money we need for our daily needs and be able to save some. oh i remember, i have to think of the money we need for the construction of our new house. palagay ko magagawan namin ng paraan un. sana... hehehe...
