Hah!...

I have a lot of time in my hands nowadays and I don't know what to do. Is that bad? I could just sleep all day but I can't sleep whenever I'm alone in this house. Not that I am feeling bad vibes in this house. Just can't. For some reason.

My routine is pretty much the same, M-F, get up at 5:45am, fix NG's lunch sandwich. Have my coffee. [sometimes, I eat breakfast when I feel like it]. He leaves before 6:30am. I turn on the computer, update the dailybread. Check my yahoo, gmail, hotmail, multiply, myspace, friendster and my blog. Then, will do some cleaning [not much really, since, there's not a lot of dust in here]. Laundry day is Friday. Then, just be online and wait for someone to chat with from home. My cousin Nadine messaged me via YM earlier [4am-ish my time] asking if I'm already awake and that she misses me, it was ALL CAPS. I miss her the most. Sigh.

I don't wanna cry right now. Hee. I am extra emotional whenever I have my period. Damn. My emotions go haywire whenever I have my period. Does any of the gurls reading this experience the same?

I still am getting used to being alone most of the day when NG is at work. Hoping to get work as soon as possible. Next month, will file my adjustment status and that work permit, I am praying the work permit will not take too long. Really wanna help out with the finances here. I know, NG says its all good and that he'd take care of me and whatever that I may need and everything else but I didn't plan to not work when I got here. I don't feel good not contributing something, anything. This is the longest time [I stopped working the week before I left the Philippines in May 25th] that I've been out of work. It's actually not fun. It would be fun to not work if I'm rich rich rich but I'm not.

This week, NG works 2 jobs, until 9pm, Tuesday to Friday. I just fix something for him to eat, mostly microwaveable foodies, since he's got lots to dispose of before we start buying, and I plan to learn how to cook, I just don't feel the urge yet each time I see the food that must be consumed first. And I want to learn how to cook, I brought some recipes with me and I have friends and my Tatay to ask when the time comes. NG found out last night, he'll get a Sunday [July 27] off that he didn't ask for. All goody. It's better than nothing. The next weekend off he'll have will be the weekend of August 15-17. He was surprised to find out that he gave him that Sunday off, he'll take it he said. He'll go to church with me again he said, I didn't ask, he said it first. THAT made me happy.

Anyhoo, I'm just rambling here. Trying not to think about negative thoughts on my present situation. I am happy. That much I know. Just that, sometimes, in life, you have to leave some people behind in order to be with someone. I don't like that fact but it is true. My friends and family makes me happy. NG makes me happy. But they are two different kind of happiness no? Tough to explain. I just wish my family and friends are happy for me. Though, I kinda know they are. But still, I know, they still worry about me. Everything that is happening [and will happen] to me nowadays will be mostly firsts for me. Some will not be goody but it's part of a package no? You can't choose to experience all the good things only. There have to be a balance of sorts. Whatever, I don't know what I'm saying. Will go for now, CRAMPS is acting up bad. Guys are so lucky they don't have monthly periods. For that fact only, I would want to be a man. Hee. Have a good day. God bless.

I heart this game...

This was their 3rd Wimbledon finals. Rafael Nadal was so close in winning it last year but Roger Federer won it in 5 sets.

It was one of the best matches [I thought their 5-set match last year was the best but this was even better...what's better than best? hee] I've watched. With a few rain delays, the match turned into another 5-setter, Nadal comfortably won the first two sets at 6-4, 6-4. I thought he was gonna win it in 3 sets. A rain delay interrupted the third set, it was close, none of them breaking a serve, until it reached on a 3rd set tie-break. Federer won it. Then came the 4th set, another close game, no one was dropping their serves, another tie-breaker, Rafa had a few chances of winning the match but again, it went to Federer's favor. As the fifth set begins, it was the same thing all over again, no one was breaking and no one was dropping their serves. A rain delay occurred, good thing it was only a short one. In Wimbledon, there's no tie-break on the fifth set, could have worked for Rafa's favor since he can't seem to win a set in tie-breaks with Federer. Rafa finally broke Federer's serve to get an 8-7 lead and he served for the match and ended it at 9-7. WOW. It was really an awesome match. I can only imagine how the people who were actually there felt. Someday somehow, I hope to be able to witness a live Wimbledon match. It might not be between Rafa and Federer but still, I know, I would love that. Will they meet again for a 4th consecutive Wimbledon finals next year? We just have to wait and see.

I was supposed to go out today but the tennis match kept me right here at home. Oh well. I'll just go out and buy a card tomorrow. 2 weeks of following the Wimbledon was all worth it, the men's finals was phenomenal. I now have a new favorite female player in Zheng Jie. Until next year's Wimbledon.

Have a good week ahead of you. Keep the faith. God Bless.

Quarters...

The Wimbledon quarter-finals will start Tuesday with the women's singles:
Zheng vs. Vaidova;
Radwanska vs. S.Williams;
Dementieva vs. Petrova;
V. Williams vs. Tanasugarn.

Then on Wednesday with the men's singles:
Federer vs. Ancic;
Lopez vs. Safin or Warinka [their match is ongoing, I want Safin to win]
Schuettler vs. Cilic or Clement [their match is ongoing as of this time]
Nadal vs. Murray or Gasquet [I'm guessing on Murray to win]

Not much rain delay this year, only had one so far, that lasted about an hour and a half. I am hoping no more rain delays will take place in the coming days.

Mario Ancic reached the semis in 2004. Didn't get to play last year due to injury. Had long matches in his 2nd, 3rd & 4th rounds in this year's Wimbledon. He'll face Roger Federer [5 time Wimbledon champion] for the quarter-finals. Will he win it? We'll find out on Wednesday.

He was soooo close from beating Roger Federer on their 5-set finals last year. Could this year be his? I hope so.

China's Zheng Jie will have her first quarter-final appearance in Wimbledon. She beat #1 Ivanovic on the third round. I want her to win but she still need to get past the Williams sisters [if they win their respective quarter-final matches that is]. Go Zheng Jie. This is her best Wimbledon performance to date. She reached 3rd round in 2006 vs Venus Williams.

You Tubing...

This song will always be special to me. Sigh. Timeless. Too bad the show didn't last very long. Jamie Walters will always be a favorite.

I LOVE MADtv...Miss Swan always cracks me up.

Journey will be coming to town next month. Would be fun to watch. We actually might. Steve Perry will always be Journey's voice but Arnel Pineda's "journey" to being the new lead singer of the band is quite sweet. Dreams do come true yes?

CUTENESS!!!

Only in the Philippines...
