Tiring Post

It's funny how some people can consume so much of you. You start the day right, all bright and sunshiny. And then something happens which turns everything into disarray. You start out angry and raring to take revenge and fight back. Then you begin to doubt yourself. Until finally, you get tired. You lose all of your energy. You just want to go home. Stay in bed and in the comforting arms of your husband. With no care in the world.

It's tiring to go through this often. It stresses you out then it leaves you worn out. And in all likelihood, it did not affect the "evil" party one bit. So you lose. And soon, you'll find yourself literally and figuratively sick and tired of the whole thing.

I'm often faulted for yearning for perfection. I would admit that yes, to a certain extent, I long for perfection. I want things to go as planned. And sometimes, it breaks me when they don't. But don't worry. I don't dwell on things so I'm not susceptible to clinical depression or something like that.

My husband must be tired of listening to me rant about the same things over and over again. I try so hard to keep him out of this. But I'm only human. There are times when I fail and I can't keep things to myself. I hope he won't get tired of hearing me out.

Generally, I'm a nice person. But sometimes some people push me to the edge. I would just like to think of my present job as a good training ground to toughen me up. I used to think of myself as a push over. At least now, I've grown some spine, fangs, etc.

I'm just grateful to have a supportive family and husband.

Let me share with you one nice song, As Told by Ginger's theme sang by Macy Gray...

Someone once told me the grass is much greener
On the other side

And I paid a visit
well, it's possible I missed it
It seemed different, yet exactly the same (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Til further notice (til further notice)
I'm in-between (i'm in between)
From where I'm standing (from where in standing)
My grass is green

Someone once told me the grass is much greener
On the other side

Dream

I've been feeling tired, sluggish, overwhelmed, worried, etc. the past few days. You know that feeling when your body just seems too heavy to lift early in the morning and you'd rather stay in bed all day. I've been getting some extra minutes of sleep in the morning to make up for it.  It's a vicious cycle. I feel too sleepy at night so I go to bed early. Problem is, I end up waking up at dawn. I check my phone for about an hour then I go back to sleep. Then I feel sleepy again when I wake up in the morning.  This morning was no different. The little boy woke up at around 8. I felt too lazy to get up so I set an alarm for 10 minutes to get a bit of an extension. And as short as that extension may be, that was when Tatay finally visited me in my dreams. A first since he left us in November. A first even after numerous prayers at night for him to come into my dreams to reassure me that he's okay.  We were in Solenad. True Value to be exact. There was a political rally...

Twelve Years Later

I've been sickly lately. I have not been updating this blog. I've been feeling bleak, sluggish, lazy, and all other negative adjectives you can insert here. Finally, I've got something nice to write about. Tonight, my husband, sister, and I are going to Hong Kong. I am so excited. I was there 12 years ago and I'm sure a lot has changed since then. At that time, we traveled with my parents. We had a number of kababayans who gladly volunteered to be our tour guide. This time, only my siblings and I are going there. Everything was planned by my hardworking brother. We're staying there until Tuesday. Hopefully, my blog entry will be ready by October. =) *picture courtesy of http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/5_5_1.asp

Life Goes On

I've never been good with goodbyes. I used to cry when our helpers left. And nothing much has changed now. Our current all-around is going back home to care for her kids. She's trustworthy but we're not very fond of her. She can be annoying sometimes. She spends most days dillydallying just waiting for the hours to pass her by. Her cooking is inconsistent. Her cleaning leaves so much to be desired. She keeps on going back to her province for a variety of reasons. She's forgetful. She's easily confused. My husband and I talked in the past that it was really okay if she wanted to leave because she will not be that big a loss. Our yaya actually does more work than the all-around. So we should be rejoicing, right? Well, part of us is relieved because we can start anew with someone who will hopefully be better. But part of me is also sad because whatever you say, she's been with us for more than a year (the longest so far among our helpers). She knows the routine...
