A good month

Been a while since my last post. 

I am no longer too busy with work, I guess I just started reading again (yipee!!) that's why I kind of put writing aside for a while. 

I just finished reading The Kite Runner and I really liked it. It's a bit different from the American and English novels I always read that's why I find it refreshing. It opens up my mind to a different culture and way life. A different drama. Stories like that makes me more thankful for the life that I have and had and the possibilities of what I may still have...

I haven't picked up my guitar in the last few weeks... sad, sad... I guess having too many things scheduled over the weekends is taking a toll on some of my pre-arranged activities, oh well, I'll have to get back to trying to play the guitar soon, and I mean really soon...

We also watched Voyage de la Vie 2 weeks ago. I was left amazed by the performers (in more ways than one, hehe).  Had a good time that day. Good swim, good food and a good show. 

Swimming. One of the things I look forward to now (next to weekends and long holidays)! A couple of weeks ago we were taught different ways of jumping (not diving) into the water and in order to do that, we have to be in the deep portion of the pool. I didn't remember if I was afraid because it was deep and that I haven't really tried treading in the water, all I remember was that we were all laughing because 2 of us were a little scared of jumping in. Eventually, after a few seconds of procrastinating, we all jumped in. :) It was a really fun lesson, still brings back a smile to my face. And last week, all 4 of us were able to do 20 laps! :D The only drawback of this activity is that I'm getting way too tanned... Way too tanned... 

"For you, a thousand times over..." - The Kite Runner

I wonder when... 

Going Full Monty!!!

It was a blast. It was soooo funny and refreshing. We didn't really expect that much it being a local production, but man was it good. They did stick to the story line, the songs and singing were ok (not broadway but good). We really didn't know what to expect since we are still in Singapore and certain rules apply but they did not disappoint the crowd, specially the girls in the crowd.. ;)

I'm glad we were able to watch it. Too bad for those who decided not to join us. They still have next week though.

Busy as a Bee

I just realized how busy and preoccupied I was when this evening, after seeing a post of a friend in facebook, I found out that I have totally forgotten about an upcoming musical we are to watch tomorrow - Spelling Bee.

It has been one hell of a month for us. Working on holidays and weekends, one even stayed overnight, a couple stayed until 2am and some (including me) will work for 2 weeks straight. We are all tired and frustrated and pressured and sick of it all. But we are all in it, maybe together, maybe not. At least we are all there to cheer each other up, to make fun of the people around us and to listen and rant when that's the only thing we can do. I mean, when you're already at the bottom, there's no way left but up, right? Well, ok, maybe not, we might get stuck there. But what the heck, being stuck there with these people can be one the best things that will ever happen to me. =)

So, tomorrow is another busy, busy day - go to work (on a Sunday), go to the Philippine Embassy (to get OEC), buy something for Momsie and Daddy and watch Spelling Bee.

We'll make it out alive, well, probably barely, but still, hopefully alive.

Plus 1 Today

"The Prince is giving a ball..." It was a wonderful experience and I'm glad I didn't let it pass and I do hope it won't be my first and last Musical experience.

Hmmm... bought myself a knitted blouse on sale, My Sassy Girl (korean) dvd and a few more pasalubongs for my lovely friends. A phone call from JM - so good to hear her voice again. Dinner at pastamania and greetings from home. That I guess sums up this day. :)

in a week and 2

Two more weeks and I'll officially be in my favorite place on the whole wide world - home! Yey!!! Although it'll only be a week, I'm still so excited about it. I guess it's one of the few things that gives me the strength to move on to the next day, and the next, and the one after that and so on...

Another thing I'm looking forward to, and will make the two week wait endurable, is our (Peyton and mine's) celebration!!! Another Yey! And of course, the highlight of my celebration would be my much anticipated Cinderella experience. 

Sigh... Still have to work before going to sleep...
