It's August...

Birthday shoutout is going out to Doctora. Happy happy birthday my dear. Love ya. God Bless.

Yesterday morning, when I put on my pants, I found a 20 peso bill in one of the pockets. Hee. It always surprises me whenever I find little things like that. I take it as a good sign on how my day will be.

Fast forward to an hour, inside the cramped bus, it was a hot day, my day was just beginning and I feel icky already. I wanted to go home and take another shower. Accckkk. My good sign went out of the window right about that time. Glad I brought my ipod with me or else, it would really be a not-so-fun bus ride all the more.

Rihanna's Umbrella was on repeat mode, I lost count on how many times I heard that song all throughout my ride. I love the song evidently.

Work started at the bank, then to the Bureau, then to a shipping line, then back to the Bureau, finished by 4pm. Will not bore you with the in-betweens. Tiring day but I'm glad it went quick.

After I've given the gate passes to our TM [truck's dispatcher], waited for a cab to go to Doctora's clinic to pick up my cousin AJ's glasses. One cab, two cabs, three cabs, four cabs passed by and the PLDT repair guy asked me where I'm headed [I think, he saw my attempt on getting those cabs but they won't take me to my destination], told him to this place and I don't know if it's God's way of telling me, that is a random act of kindness coming from the PLDT repair man. I was hesitant for a bit to hitch a ride with them but they were going in the same direction, so, might as well and their aura looked good. They didn't give me bad vibes. Don't you get that whenever you see or meet new people? Good or bad vibes? I do. If the vibe scares me, I try to get away as soon as possible. The PLDT repair guys names were Rudy and Joel, I tried to give them money as payment but they declined. And they told me, the next time I saw them, maybe, they'd take the money and then they laughed. I told them to have a safe drive and thanked them for the ride. I still am wondering about the coincidence of that event but I am grateful for those guys for giving me a ride to Doctora's neck of the woods.

Stayed at Doctora's clinic for a while, didn't want to leave during the rush hour. The jeeps and trains will be filled for sure with all the people rushing to get home. Left before 7pm and I was at Uncle Boss's house by 9pm. Arrange my documents, then I went home.

Had my late lunch/dinner, fried chicken was waiting for me. Didn't expect that but I won't say no to chicken.

When I checked my mails, an e-card from NG was waiting for me. He can be spontaneous at times. He may not be romantic [though, he says he is, I just have to give him a chance once we are together] but he does make me happy most of the time. Brattiness and those damn boxes [that are glued to the floor] excluded, he's an okay guy most of the time. Hee.

It's the first day of a brand new month...and so far, I'm feeling good about it. I hope it be a good month.

Here's wishing you and me a good month. Need to get some zzzz for now. God Bless.

One ARK at a time...

It's been a light work week for me. It was busy since the month of April. It was good to have a breather. Would have been nice to get out of town if I had the extra cash but will just do that sometime soon. So, I just stayed home Thursday and spent time in bed and watched some movies. I slept too. That felt good.

Today, I had a haircut, nothing fancy, just the usual, the last time I had one was back in February 2006. The gay guy who cut my hair wanted to do things to my hair, did I want my hair to be curly? did I want a cellophane? did I want it short like someone in the pic he showed me? I answered NO to all. Though, I did agree on a "hair spa" treatment, he just put some green foamy stuff on my hair, he said it was hair aroma. So my hair would get stronger and I'd have less falling hair [is that the right way to say it?]. We'll find out if I will have less hair in my floor then. He told me I should have that "hair spa" thingy once a month. I'm gonna think about it.

Then I went to have my picture taken because NG need them for something, one full frontal image view and one 3/4 frontal view. Actually, it confused us both on what was said about the pics. So, just to be sure, we got two shots of what was mentioned. It was too detailed but a bit confusing. NG showed me his pics on cam and I told him he should have smiled, so, just to tease him about not smiling, I half-smiled on mine. They use digital camera for taking those pics now, I was looking for the negatives and the girl told me it was digital. Doink to me!

While waiting for the pics to be done, I went to the NBI Center to renew my clearance. There were a lot of people. AS ALWAYS. NBI makes a lot of money each day out of those clearances. The place is always full of people. Funny, how some people don't read signs, BIG tarpaulin SIGNS of STEPs 1 - 7 is VERY visible. To make it easier for people, Step 1 is on the 3rd floor, Steps 2-4 on the 4th, Steps 5-7 on the 5th. If you know how to count, obviously Step 2 comes after Step 1 right? Hee. I just got annoyed a bit because the line was long and a few people kept asking where to go next. Oh well. I wanted to just say PLEASE READ the sign but I just replied, Oo, dito po... double annoyance because I was listening to my ipod and I have to take off one ear phone each time someone asks me something. Oh well. I kept my cool. Hee. Beyonce [to the left, to the left...] kept me calm throughout my time at the NBI Center.

Had my late lunch at Chowking. Thought of watching The Transformers but it rained, so, I decided to just go straight home. Maybe, will catch that movie this weekend, will see. Been planning on that but was under the weather the last few weeks.

I saw Evan Almighty yesterday, don't ask where I got my copy. Hee. If someone like Evan builds an ark in real life and told you that there will be a flood and all, would you get on the ark? Would you have faith in that person? I have been thinking about that since and I asked myself that question and I still don't know my answer. Hmmm. It will all come down to faith yes?
God: How do we change the world?
Evan: One single act of random kindness at a time.
God: [spoken while writing A-R-K on ground with a stick] One Act, of, Random, Kindness.

I want this for Christmas or on my birthday...hee...wishing and hoping...Santa are you out there??? I promise to be a good girl, as if I'm not already. Hee. Would give this gifty to my friends if I had the money. Someday, somehow.

Goofing around with Nadine...

Okays, must end this one for now, will watch a movie or two then zzzzz. I'm glad it's the weekend. Here's to a good one for you and me. God Bless.

Under the Weather...

Hey there, it's early Monday here, 12:40am, I know I should be in bed but I've been resting all day so I'm awake. Have to be early later for work though, good luck to me. Hee. I still am a bit under the weather but the cough is almost gone [thank God!], had a headache last night and even threw up. I hate throwing up. The last time I threw up was back February. My first hangover. Hee. Not fun but now I know how it feels to have a so-called hangover. I was good at avoiding having one since I didn't drink for years until I met a few people who introduced me to Absolut. Hee. All good though, not like I turned into an alcoholic, far from it. It's good to know I can drink if I want to. Last time was back in February too. I don't like to drink by myself. No fun in that.

It's the Emmy's once again, not as excited as the years before but I know I'm still going to watch it when it airs in mid-September.

They were supposed to be here back in September 2005 but that didn't happen. Now, I think, it's going to happen. I hope so. I am gonna watch with a few people I met via the Stephen Speaks Yahoo group [which is not active anymore] some years back. NG was supposed to watch this band a few months back, he had his ticket but he overslept and didn't make it to the gig. It's for charity nonetheless, his $20 went to a good cause nonetheless. For more info about this gig you may go to switchfootmanila.blogspot.com. Any of my other friends interested to go?

Elliott Yamin will have a series of mall tours in September as well, here's the sched from his Myspace:
Sep 21 2007 8:00P Trinoma
Sep 22 2007 8:00P Glorietta
Sep 23 2007 8:00P Market! Market! Mall
Sep 26 2007 8:00P Ayala Mall Cebu
Sep 29 2007 8:00P Alabang Town Center
Trinoma is near my area, I'm gonna make sure to go see the guy. Would be nice to hear him live.

Okays, that's about it for now, last full week of July 2007, WOW. Time really is amazing no? Here's wishing you a fine week ahead. God Bless.

T-Shirt Day...

Went back to The T-Shirt Project @ Trinoma last Tuesday after I got off work an hour early and had two shirts customized. I'm happy with it. I splurged a little on the shirts. Normally I'd get the Herbench shirts for under Php500. I'll be coming back at that place for sure. Just need to save up. Maybe, once a month is not bad no? Next time, I'll bring my camera too. Hee.

Anyhoo, must get some rest now. I'm still under the weather. Acccckkk. Go to a galaxy far far away my cough. Have a fine day/afternoon/evening. God Bless.

Queen is 29...

A birthday shout-out to Queen, happy happy to you. Next year, you'll be 30! Hee! I have a wish for you. I pray it comes true. Love ya. God Bless.
