Manic Monday

 

It’s Monday again, and off to work again this morning. Was so busy. My program is business tax, and it’s due every 25th of the month. People wait until the last day to submit their returns, and since my back up is out, I only have myself to do it.

I’m not complaining, in fact, I enjoy it. I enjoy being budy, and time goes by so fast that way.

Today was different. We were allowed to get off from work an hour early. Especially those who live far like me. The reason? Nope, there’s no snow, so that’s not it….lol

They shut down the water in the bathrooms due to sewer problem. At first, they told us in the email that if we want to go, we have to go to the building on the other side of ours. Whaaat? 😂

At about at 3pm, our director talked to our bureau chief and supervisor that we can go home, especially those who live far. As soon as I heard it, I packed my things, didn’t even clear my desk…lol.. and off I went…home 😃.

It was nice to be home early, I got hang out with my husband a lil bit more, chill. 

Oh well, by the time I’ll post this, it’ll be Tuesday 😃

If tomorrow doesn’t come

 

What if, tomorrow never came? I was getting ready to bed, when this thought hits me. Nothing, I just thought our life here on Earth. It’s really short and fast.

It makes me cry whenever I think my loved ones who passed, especially my mother. I never imagined life without her. I never thought that one day, I can’t hug and see her anymore.

Just today, I learnt that one of our batchmates in high school died. He died in his sleep. I also just saw it today but it was just the other day when commented on my post and greeted my son on his birthday. How did it happen? They said he just didn’t wake up. Same thing happened to my niece, aunts, grandmother, and my mother, but they were old except for my niece who was just 27 years old. 

They said that “death comes like a thief in the night”. We don’t know when, where and how. Only God knows. If ever that’ll happen to me as I lie down to sleep tonight, I want my love ones, especially my husband and son, all my siblings, relatives, and friends that I love them, and thankful that I became a part of their life. I also want to say sorry for all my shortcomings, mistakes and bad things that I did or said to them.

And I’m sorry Lord, for hurting you over and over again. I just hope and pray that you’ll welcome me with open arms in Your Kingdom. 

If tomorrow doesn’t come? Only God knows.

In Jesus name. Amen 🙏

Mani & Pedi

 

It’s Sunday, had to do my routine. That is, mani & pedi. When I was in the Philippines, I usually have somebody to come to my house and do my nails. If nobody’s available, I go to a salon, same thing with my haircut. 

There are a lot of salon in the Philippines that do these, and they’re very cheap. Salons there are everywhere. Unlike here, you have to find a very good hair/nail expert to get a good haircut or a pretty nails done.

I once went to get my nails done in a salon, but just got disappointed m. They didn’t do a good job. Since then, I never went back and decided to just do it myself. I do it every other week.

There are times I get lazy, like today. But had to pull myself together and did it anyway. Tomorrow’s Monday, and I don’t want to go to work with ugly nails…lol

Feeling tired

 Weekends are precious to me. These days are the times that I can do what I have to do (aside from house chores) without getting up @ 4am, ans drive an hour to work. Though I still get up @6am, that’s my ideal wake up hour.

There are times that I didn’t want to do the cleaning early in the morning, but I think my body’s programmed to do that. Had to do it right away so I can relax and just watched my Kdrama.

There are time I just want to stay at home in my pajamas and do nothing. But I know that’s not gonna happen. My house needs to be cleaned. But I got to cook my pinoy breakfast today, I craved for fried eggs, smoked fish or tinapa, and fried rice. My tummy was happy 😃.

We ordered burritos for dinner today. We didn’t wanna cook, it was good, though it can’t compared to us rice, but it was a decent meal. And besides, I had rice this morning, so im good 👍.

Saturday went by so fast but I still have another “chill day”, tomorrow. I’ll just savor every minutes of my days off, and get ready for another week at work.

Thank you Lord for this day and for all the blessings that you have us 🙏

What’s on your mind?

 

If you’re into social media, especially on Facebook, you’re familiar with this, “what’s on your mind?” . Facebook always wants to know what’s going on in our mind, simply being nosy…lol

Our mind is the busiest part of our body. With mine alone, I have a lot in my mind, different thoughts, there are good and bad, happy and sad, old and new memories, my loved ones who are not here anymore, my family, friends, enemies, I can go on and on and on. 

I once dreamt of becoming a psychologist, I even wanted to visit the prison to interview inmates, to know why they committed crimes, and what was going on in their mind. But as I grew older, that dream changed.

I was also curious about what’s going on in the minds of those who are mentally handicapped people. They have different thinking, especially those schizophrenic. 

Our mind is tricky, that’s why I don’t entertain negative thoughts most of the time. I avoid those, it won’t do me any good. I just want to think about happy thoughts. Life is hard, and with what’s going on around the world, I always think that life is beautiful especially if we’re surrounded by our family, friends and all our love ones. 

What’s on my mind? God is love ❤️ 🙏

1 month blogging

Oh it’s been a month since I started this blog. And I’m proud of myself. Usually, I will start to write for a short period of time, then started to get lazy….lol

I used to have a read and write a lot, that’s my passiin and favorite hobby. I also had a lot of blogs even before I came here to the US. I even made money thru blogging. But I got tired and  got busy with my family and work.

If I knew that I can make a lot of money from blogging after a few years, I could’ve continued those blogs. But it’s too late, I can’t remember anymore what email and passwords I used to be able to retrieve those. 

Oh well, I have this now and promised myself that I’ll continue writing regardless. There are times that I didn’t want to write because either I forget, or I’m too lazy to think of a topic , or sometimes I will remember when it’s already late at night and getting ready to go to sleep. 

Just like tonight, I almost forgot, but still managed to motivate myself and here I am 😊. 

Happy monthsarry to my blog!!!! Yay!!! 

Birthday

 

January 26th, when my only child was born, it seemed like just yesterday when he was little, he never wanted to leave my side. He always cry whenever I leave for work. It breaks my heart when he calls me and tells me to go home because he missed me.

Toy story was his favorite, he watched it over and over again. And he can’t go to sleep without his favorite “tico” a stuffed dog. He always hug it while sucking his thumb. It’ll be a chaos if can’t find it. And his favorite fastfood was Jollibee. He loved their rice and gravy…lol

His Lola, basically was the one who raised him. He was a lola’s boy. That’s why he cried a lot when she passed away, almost 10 years now😔. We all still missed my mother💕.

Fast forward to present, he’s now27 years old, moved out and living with his girlfriend. He graduated with the highest Latin honor in school, and is now working 2 jobs as a nurse. 

I’m very much grateful and thankful to my husband who helped me raise him, and treated him like his own, my family especially my mother who helped me mould him to be a good kid that he is now. And to God who guided him to the right path. 

And very thankful to my son, for being such a good child, responsible, and kind. 

Thank you Lord 🙏🙏🙏
