Sad bday for me ... :(

4days

Today is supposedly my last day to work for this week. Then I'll have a 4 straight no working days. If I'm in the Philippines, I would gladly accept it. Then just stay at John's place and probably sleep and watch all day. But I'm not home, so I guess I'll just work tomorrow. And then spend 3 days to rest. Can't go shopping .. malls are too far. Don't like to swim, it's too cold. Maybe I could look around and purchase some from my list of pasalubongs. I wonder what I would give to my baby .... hmmmm ...

Babyjan .. I wanted to buy you a lot of stuff .. but it's just that you might get mad and will just tell me to save it ... :(

bUdGet

I just literally sit side by side with my mentor today. Since there are no calls coming in for him I think he's not in the mood to teach as well. So I just sit there and plan my budget for the next months to come. I tallied everything and it all fits. I compute for my pays to see if there are no discrepancies. I came with a perfect budget fits just for me and hope I could implement it say November.

Fire Alarm

I was busy watching anime when I suddenly heard an alarm. My first thought, it was the doorbell alarm but it's too loud for that. I looked at the alarm clearly then saw the word Fire. Then my mind went blank for a moment, is this a drill or what? I'm hoping someone would shout SUNOG!!! But there isn't ... so I can't confirm.

Then I checked if there's any smoke in my room... remove the plug of the laptop, turned off the dishwasher then grab a shawl .. grab my small bag (w/ the cam, cell, wallet) , grab my savings (hehehe .. of course). I'm having second thoughts of grabbing the laptop as well but it's kinda heavy thinking that if there's really a fire I need to run. I completely forgot my passport and completely forgot that it's cold outside and I should have wear a panjama at least.

I calmly went out of the room and saw some guest moving out quietly so I did the same... heheh ... The guy in the other room even went out with just a towel on his hips and the laptop on his hands.

Outside, there's no fire on sight. But there are 3 fire trucks ... Perhaps it's just a small fire but it's really great that the response are fast. Not like in the Philippines where a whole block would be on fire before the firemen come.

After around 25 minutes we all went back to our rooms ... We didn't even get any tsismis, what's the ruckus is all about. Para naman may mapagkwentuhan kami tom.

It is just now that I got nervous, thinking of the what ifs .... Oh well ... We're all safe and that's all that matters :) ... Whew!

waiting

~ hintay ng makaka-chat
~ hintay ng may magtetext
~ hintay ng may tatawag

:-(

~ hintay maantok at makatulog
~ hintay ng uwian
~ hintay ng weekend
~ hintay ng 2 months

:-(

tired

no matter how tired I am ... I still can't sleep ... :-(

I've tried reviewing but it makes me more awake. I just got nervous. I wonder what should I do to be able to sleep well. I'm dizzy already like my head is spining. Haaaay... and I still need to go to work.

080808

Aug 8 na pla sa Pinas. It's a lucky day for Chinese, but I'm not Chinese. So it's not lucky for me. Been away from home for a month. Misses my love, my family, and my dog. Had a very tiring day. No appetite for anything (which is good). Every minute every second I've been thinking. Checking my inbox from time to time. Waiting for some sign to pop. Guess, I've been dreaming wide awake, yet still inside a nightmare falling in an endless pit. Experience striking pain in my head, which would eventually make me numb.

The graph is much better I guess. Haaay... Wishful thinking ... But that's the ONLY thing that I could do now ... WISH and ... PRAY ... for continuous Faith, Hope and Charity... and Patience ...

Take a peek at my horoscope & lovescope for Aug 8:


This is a time of great personal change. You become tired of your role in life, and you are very sensitive to habits, customs, and social requirements that hide the "real you". You feel as though you have been drifting along with the tide and following the crowd for too long, and your inner needs and motivations must assert themselves more strongly.

This is a time you could be more distressed than usual over any dissonance in your environment or personal relationships, and you are inclined to avoid serious discussions or real disagreements with others. Also, challenging mental work and concentration is difficult for you now. Take a step back if possible and realize tomorrow will be here soon enough.

too early

i slept in late ... and now i woke up too early .. waaaahh... i know im still sleepy but my mind is not. it's not really a sleepless night because I already slept for a couple of hours it's just that my mind is still working while im asleep. darn! i hate dreams!

Night Shift

Haaay... I'm tired. Today is my first time to work on a night shift. Err... rather yesternight. Actually I'm not that sleepy but I wanted to sleep already. I haven't adjusted my sleeping time yet. Hope it wouldn't cause any problem with regard to my health. John's already past asleep at the office, so I'm blogging away my time while waiting for my colleagues from their lunch/midnight break.

After 3/4 weeks of night shift, we're off to Acton, MA. :-(

I'm missing ____ already, but I ain't gonna tell him... :p

Delayed

There were talks that our training would be delayed. Sh*! That means our return would be delayed as well... I'm counting the days .... waaaaahh ... Ayoko abutan ng birthday dun.. huhuhu ... :(

Devotion for the day

An Impossible Challenge?

A pastor in Kansas City gave what seemed to be an impossible challenge to his congregation—to go 21 days without complaining (the amount of time some say it takes to develop a new habit). Special bracelets were distributed to participants as a reminder to live complaint-free lives. A movement was started, and millions of bracelets have been distributed all over the world.

The biblical principle “Do all things without complaining and disputing” (Phil. 2:14) is an important one. The ancient Israelites discovered this when, because of their constant complaining in the wilderness, they were judged by God and not allowed to enter the Promised Land (Num. 14).

How can we learn to develop a noncomplaining, positive attitude that will please the Lord?

• By disciplining our thoughts (Rom. 12:2). We need to meditate on Scripture and remember our blessings.

• By confessing our critical spirit and committing ourselves to obedience each time we fail (1 John 1:9).

• By enlisting God’s help and the help of others. The Spirit will empower us as we depend on Him (John 14:26).

Because God helps us, doing all things without complaining is not an impossible challenge. — Anne Cetas

Lord, help me stop complaining
When things don’t go my way;
Instead, give me a thankful heart
For all You do each day. —Sper

A complaining Christian is a contradiction in terms.

Matthew 6:33

I do have lot of things that I'm asking from God. Somehow, I didn't get any response from Him. Or maybe I just didn't see the sign clearly. Or perhaps because I'm not seeking Him first and do the right thing. I always sinned against him and give in to temptations and evil human desires.

After months of not attending Church, at long last we attended this Sunday (Jan 13) and this is the verse that I learned and need to live by.

Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

I'm hoping that we could regularly attend church and start our daily devotion again. And grow more spiritually with our relationship to God.
