The good, the bad, and the me...

It's Thursday and I feel like the whole week is passing by in a haze. I've been quite preoccupied with work and preparations for Saturday and it seems that my to do list for the week is not getting any shorter. sigh... 3 more major things to accomplish tonight and hopefully I can relax by tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I personally think it's all a good thing because one, at least I still am employed and two, I have friends here who are willing to celebrate and spend their precious time with me.

This morning I was soooo pissed so I decided to call a friend and rant about how dissappointed I am. Naturally, neither of us can do anything about it unless one of us decides to have a 'career talk' with him. I guess, sooner or later I'll have to do that. Probably sooner before my vacation so he'll have time to ponder about it while I'm away.

Last night was the season premier of AI (yipee!!!) I was planning on catching it on Star World (8pm) but we all got excited of Ellen's flight that I forgot all about it and ended up watching the last 15 minutes of the show. Good thing it was also scheduled to be shown in another channel (at 10pm) so I was able to catch the first hour and 45 minutes of it. hehehe.

I think Kara's addition to the show was a good idea. Watching her and hearing her criticize or admire the contestants is like a breath of fresh air, plus I read that she's very much qualified for the job as she has written chart topping songs for the biggest names in Hollywood. She's like a girl version of Simon, only a bit subtler.

Most memorable scenes were the bikini girl and Scott Mcintyre's audition.

"What's your first and last name? 'Cause we only know you as top and bottom" (nasty!!!)

I guess I have to be home by 8pm to catch the part 2 of the Season premier. Hopefully all my errands are done by then.

A couple of days ago my friend told me about a Korean adaptation of Meteor Garden - Hana Yori Dango which she says was as good as (if not better) than the taiwanese version. I already watched the first 3 parts of episode 1 and I guess their version is better in terms of production and setting, more budget I suppose. Story wise I can't decide yet - I guess I have to watch the whole season to find out. Good thing I'm not way behind as they're only on their 4th episode (goody!) .

I'm pretty sure you're talking, but all I hear is 'yada, yada, yada'.

My Sister's Personal Secretary

A couple of nights ago when my sister was in my bed bugging me about something (because she was too lazy to turn on her laptop) she noticed my blogspot page. The annoying sister that she is, she asked about it and further contemplated on creating one of her own - but with an itsy bitsy catch...

She wanted me to type/write the things she wanted to say...

Sigh... As what Agnes would usually say in this situation, "Ate, teka, tutumbling na lang ako"...

a cold cold night...

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...

A new leaf... or so it seems...

I don't exactly remember when, but at some point in my life I decided to stop having a New Year's resolution. Probably it's because I end up not fulfilling them. But for this year I think I'll just list down a few things I intend to accomplish.

1. Read at least 1 book per month - I had a 2 month hiatus from reading and now I'm stuck with this book which I should finish before the month ends.

2. Purchase original audio cd's and dvd's (for my favorite movies) - started doing this late last year but it's quite expensive here so I'll just keep a list and buy them in Manila or when it's on sale here. 

3. Maintain my weight - losing a few lbs is ok, gain is a no no.

4. Save save save!!!

A big good luck to me! :D

Some day, we'll put it together and we'll get it all done. Some day when your head is much lighter. Some day we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun. Some day when the world is much brighter.

Wishing everyone a Blessed and Wonderful 2009!

Coming Soon: 2009

And I am so excited because...

I have a 3-day break from work because I need to use up all my remaining Vacation/Annual Leave -> unlike in Manila, only the 25Dec and 01Jan are declared as public holdays here. So, I'll spend the last 3days of the year cleaning up our place, running errands and catching up on things I had no time to do before.

I am entitled to a new wishlist. :) ---->

I'll be home for a week (Yey!)!!! I'm already preparing my list of things to do and food to eat (as well as things to buy hehehe) while I'm there. Oh yeah, and people to see.

Konting tulog na lang... :D

Merry Christmas!!!

It's been a wonderful and happy Christmas despite our being away from our parents. I was able too complete the nine-day Novena-Simbang Gabi (Yey!) and was singing one Christmas song over and over again. We got the things we wished for and more. Spent the day with my sister and friends and had a fun time singing our hearts out. I wish next year we'll be able to celebrate it with our family and have a crowded and sumptuous noche buena...

Again, a Blessed Christmas to all!

Misa de Galo

It's been a while since my last blog, it's not that I'm too busy, though a lot of things did happen - I went to Malaysia!!! Yey! - It's just that I'm getting a bit lazy... So, I will start my December blog with the appropriate topic of Misa de Galo.

Unlike in Manila, Simbang Gabi here is a bit more fun, that is, it sometimes becomes an adventure...



See how challenging it is to complete the 9-day novena... Moving from church to church isn't that easy especially if it is your first time in that area, but the Parish makes sure it'll be worth the challenge as they will serve free meals for all after each mass. Oh, if you're wondering, the 10th day is actually the anticipated Mass Celebration for Christmas.

So I guess I'll spend my next few nights church hunting. :)
