Time in a Bottle

On my way home from work, I was listening to the late Jim Croce’s song, “Time in a Bottle”. It was a really nice and meaningful song.

It made me think though. What if it’s possible? To have a time in a bottle? Just like in that song, I will save all the good memories there, and then, I will open it whenever I want to, savor each moments, especially the memories with my parents. 

If only we can go back in a certain time, starting from the time when my father was still alive, as well as my mother. But it has to be the same as now, married to Joe, with my son too, that’ll be perfect!That way, my parents will meet both of them and I can enjoy the quality time having a complete parents, together with my loving husband, and precious son.

And if I can have a box of wishes, just like in a song too, that box will be empty because I’ll probably use it everyday. Isn’t it wonderful? 

But I can only have a wishful thinking like that. As much as I want to, I know God knows what He is doing, and He’s the only one who can make everything possible. 

I wish I may, I wish I might 😉 

                             Time in a Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure, and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them

I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them

I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

Guidance

Even if we’re already at the right age, we still need guidance. And me as a parent, gives guidance to my son too. 

Each and everyday, every night, I pray and ask the Lord to guide me, be it making decisions, about my family, work, or just to go through the day. 

We all need guidance. Just like when we were young, our parents always guide and lead us to the right path. My mother never failed to remind us to study hard, to be good not only to ourselves, but to everyone. Be respectful at all times. 

Now that she’s gone, I always ask God to guide me, especially if I’ll have an important decision to make. Although they say, parents, or mothers know best, God is still the best of the best.

We cannot do it without God 😇. 

The Case of my Missing Pajamas (Found!!!)

 I wear pajamas every night. It’s winter time, so I wear jammies that are warm and comfy. Every weekend, I do the laundry. After washing our clothes, I put it in the dryer right away. Same goes with my pair of pajamas. 

after drying the clothes, I put them away, like those belong to the closet, and those in the dresser drawers. I put my jammies in the dresser. 

For some reason, I’ve been looking for my new pajama, the top has been missing for a week now. Been looking for it everywhere, I can’t find it. I wonder where it went. And it bugged me big time.

My husband told me to just buy a new one. But it’s new, and even if I did, it’ll still bother me! I know I folded it nicely and put it in the dresser. I can still picture myself folding it. But it just disappeared in the thin air! 

I looked at the back of washer & dryer, among the hanging clothes, under the bed, in 2 vacant rooms and closets, even in the garage, but to no avail! 

I guess I just have to forget about it, maybe one day when I’m not looking m, that it’ll just appear. Maybe my guardian angel’s playing tricks on me 😇 😉.

I’m heading to Costco, where I bought it, to buy a new pair. If the bottom disappears, I will still have a pair…lol 

Update!!! 02/08/2023

I found it last night! It fell at the back of the drawer…lol 

Lights, Camera, Action!

I’m not really a fanatic of movies. When I was young, yes! But I like movies that are sweet, love stories, & family-oriented.  I used to love suspense-thriller, as well as actions. 

I stopped watching suspense-thriller movies, I dunno, I just don’t like it anymore. Probably because I always watch the true to life stories of serial killers and murderers. It sacred me. 

I’d like to watch action films, especially those when they chase cars, even now, when we watch cops show or PD live, I always get entertained by those, I guess I’m weird…lol

I used to read books too, fantasies like Harry Potter and the likes. But not anymore either. During my free time, I just love watching Korean dramas. It’s because they have good stories, and they’re light, and they’re funny. They have a lot of good writers. 

I have just finished watching an action movie, that was pretty good. Though it was a few years ago when they made it, I liked it. 

Pinoy movies are like Western, when I was young, I like it, but as I grew older, it doesn’t entertain me anymore. In fact, it irritated me now. Oh well, I know others probably won’t agree with me, but what can you do? To each his own. 

Will go back watching my Kdrama now 😉. 

Friyay!!!

 Finally! It’s the weekend! I always want to sleep longer and stay on bed late, but I know it won’t happen. It’s just a wishful thinking. Aside from I automatically wake up @ 6am, my body aches if I get up late. Also, aside from my dogs, my cat, Rosemary will wake us up. Especially if she don’t have food. 

The least that I can wake up is @ 7am, that’s the latest. Back when I was young, I can sleep until 2pm. It was when I was single. My only worries then was homeworks, reporting, and what clothes to wear, and where should we (my friends) hang out. 

Those were the days when I didn’t have responsibilities yet. Though my son’s an adult now and moved out, I have 7 pets to take care of, aside from my husband of course. 

With my dogs around, I can’t have enough rest. They’re à handful. But I love them dearly. They make me happy but they make me real

 tired too…lol

Goodnight 💤

 

I was ok until after I ate ice cream and went to bed. All of a sudden, I feel so tired. I almost forgot that I don’t have an entry here yet. There are times like now that I get lazy and didn’t want to write anything, but I promised myself that no matter what, I’ll pull myself together and write something.

Nothing much happened today except I was really busy at work. Taking advantage of it because afterwards, it’ll be slow again, and that’s boring.

Anyway m, I’m really tired. I’ll try to come up with some interesting story to write tomorrow.

Goodnight 😴 

It’s Hump Day!!!

 

Have you seen the insurance commercial before? It was a camel walking inside an office, while saying “hump day off Wednesday”. I was always irritated whenever I see the commercial, until I realized the meaning of it. 

Since Wednesday is the middle of the work week, it just simply meant thay one has made it “over the hump” towards the weekend, hence, the camel and the Wednesday.

As for me, this week went by so fast, probably because I had a lot of work. I’d rather be busy like this than doing nothing. My supervisor told me today when she saw my load of work, she knew I don’t ask for help, and I love working. My co workers knew that also.

I have a very good work ethics, probably because I had a good training and as Asian, especially Pilipinos, we are hard working and resilient people. Whatever profession or job we have, we made sure that we give our best 😉.

Well, two more days and it’ll be the weekend. 

Happy Hump Day!!!
