Break

Having bouts of katam again. That's the problem when there's a break from the usual routine. Of course there are a lot of admin things I need to attend to but I'm taking my time. I won't be surprised if I don't really accomplish much after this break.

Manny lost. I was so stunned after he fell. And I was so scared when he did not move. I felt bad for a few hours. But the quarter pounder comforted me, hehe. Seriously, I'm just glad that he's okay. Never mind losing to Marquez. I just hope he's smart enough not to fight Marquez again. I don't want to see him lose 3 straight times. That would just be so disheartening.

I hope we'll be able to watch the Azkals - Lions match on Wednesday. R plans to go to the stadium this morning to buy some tickets. Hopefully he'll be safe and successful. :)

Done with our Christmas shopping for the loves back home. Not for everyone though. Don't want to burden relatives with a lot of padala. Hope to be able to give something to the kiddos and my students when they return from the break.

Some things I'll miss during the holidays: lunch at Beach House before the Lantern Parade, tambay sa AS or Sunken Garden while watching people wait for the Lantern Parade, walking along the acad oval, Lantern Parade of course, dinner at Chocolate Kiss after the Lantern Parade, collecting stickers for Starbucks planners that we display but never use, family, food, food, food. I vow to have these next Christmas. :)

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...
