Teleport

29 Apr

I hope that teleporting is really true. If it is, or if it is for sale, I hope it is affordable. Crazy thought of mine? Well, I have to go to the office now and I am still sleepy. I asked for this very early morning shift, I do not know why. :( . Anyways, I would teleport myself to the lounge area in our office, take a few minutes napping, then teleport myself to my desk at exactly nine AM. Oh, I really have to go now. Sleepy…still sleepy. I hope to see some action in the roads to awaken my frozen cells.

Five hours left

29 Apr

Five hours left… I would be off to the road again and would be back to commuting. Yes, vacation is finally over. I think, I am not prepared to go back and be an office girl again. I would miss lazing around and facing my laptop almost twenty four hours a day, he,he,he.  But, you know, I have to work ,work,work.

Bye for now, everyone. See you again til my next post.

Anna, over and out!

New to my eyes

29 Apr

When you go to hotels, you sort of expect what to see. The regular single bed room would have a single size, queen size or king size bed, a dresser, a side table and chair, a toilet and bath with or without bath tub. I wish to see and go to unique hotels someday. You know, a place that would surprise you. One that is not conventional nor contemporary at all. I would like to go to a room that I have never seen before.Something new to my eyes.

Living one day at a time

26 Apr

During my stay here inside our house, I begin to recollect. We are living one day at a time and just going with the flow. We do not have any rules to follow. We do not go on a budget. Our life is sort of a come what may. My husband and I do not really sit down and talk about the future. We do not like to pressure ourselves with what is going on right now like the global economic crisis and how it is affecting our lives right now.

The minimum fare of riding a tricycle increased again from P8 to P9. Our electric bill read around four hundred bucks higher… Oh, we have never been conscious on how to save electricity. We use our microwave even for heating water whenever we would like to have coffee. We cook our son’s noodles there too. Ironing clothes? Oh, we do not do that in bulk. That would be so tiring. We use two computers at the same time while the third member of the household who does not have his own computer watches TV. Moreover, he added a new gadget, that of a wireless headphone which consumes added electricity. Our refrigerator is big at 7 foot and it is working just to cool water. Yes, we do not do our weekly market.

The long list of things to change and for us to get organized and maybe go on a budget is endless. Right now that I am thinking of it, I am having a headache. It puts pressure on me. That is why, most of the times, I just really let things be and go with the flow.

He could still give it to me now

25 Apr

It is the connotation of most people in our country that when you work somewhere in the Middle East, you must be rich in gold jewelry. Likewise, if you work in Japan, you have those dangling earrings and heavily charmed bracelets. I must admit that I had the same mindset for people working abroad before. When my then boyfriend was still working overseas, I actually asked him to give me a locket. Yes, I asked him but he did not give me. I asked him why and he said that he could not find nice designs. Oh, if only he knew about Holsted Jewelers then, then maybe he was able to find a good one and I had that locket with matching necklace, of course! Well, I told him that it is not yet too late. He could still give it to me now.

Before the summer ends

25 Apr

Before the summer ends, though it is already raining almost everyday here, I would like to go to a place that is at least close to luxury mexico resorts. I want to have that feel of an adventure like be a pirate perhaps? If you go to Carbo San Lucas, you would enjoy Villa Del Arco. Yes, eat at that pirate ship restaurant while you enjoy the view. Yes, you would be near the sea but still can enjoy the pool if you want to.

Some people do not want to stay at beach front hotels and would still like a more quiet atmosphere. Then, Hotel Sta. Fe is for them. I think I would also like to stay there. I could go around the city and if I would like to go to the beach, I still can because it is only a few minutes from there.

I am really dreaming of that grand vacation right now. Oh, when would it be? I could not wait!

Mom and child talk: At what age?

25 Apr

I really do not know if it is alright that I already discussed about Heaven and Earth to my son. He aasks so many questions and sometimes, I just have to answer truthfully. A few days ago, he was asking me at what age he would hit the bucket. Imagine that! First he asked how old was her grandmother when she passed away. I told him that she was 73. My son then said, ” How about me, Mommy? At what age would I die?” I told him that if he would live a good life like if he is going to eat healthy foods then he would live longer. He then said, ” I want 100, Mommy!” I saw the way to convince him to eat veggies and some meat and fish. I thought I won but no, he still does not eat those kind of foods. Anyways, that is my son… He still has so many pure questions but I already run out of answers.

Be among the most successful names in the business

25 Apr

How important is PR? Do you believe that being good is enough? No! You have to be known? Somebody must help you to build a name! even looking at the simplest form of success like a promotion in the office maybe, you have to have that popularity among your bosses and peers. Before, I really do not believe in that. But now, I do. I really do. That is why there are the so called PR managers, right? It is very evident especially when there is a new face, a new place or a new activity. It has to be promoted. It needs PR. Actually, even for a new blog, for it to be popular, the owner must do some campaigning.

If you are looking for someone who could help you promote your business, there is only one name that you could trust. Go and contact San Diego PR. In no time, you would see the results. They have in their portfolio the most successful names in all kinds of business be it in hotels, restaurants, entertainment, health, beauty and many more.

A regular day in my life as a housewife

25 Apr

Yeah, the life of a housewife is boring sometimes. I just finished washing dishes~ the household chore that I do not like most. Actually I am dropping ECs but due to my slow connection, I decided to multi-task. Women are good at that~ multitasking. Now, I am writing this post~ because of my slow connection again. While waiting for those drop signs to come out, might as well, write something personal, right?

My husband is busy painting our roof. Good thing that the rain had just stopped. My son? Well, he is watching Star Wars at Cartoon Network. Pretty much a regular day for us.

Can I stop the clock from ticking? In an hour, it would be lunch time… then after that more chores for me to do. Clean the house. Iron the clothes… Can I just go out? But I am sick. Yes, sick but still has to get up.

Where is the house help? We need you today! Hello!

New strands

25 Apr

Be careful on what you wish for. That is now the motto of one of my dear friends. Well, it is not that serious though. I know that her hair would grow again. Actually, she had thick hair before. That was one of her beauty problems. She tried to make it look by having a hair rebond at least twice a year. However, she might not be able to do it for the moment. She is taking some medicines right now and one of the side effects is hair loss. At first, she was happy. She never thought that she is nearing bald already. She said that she might need a hair transplant in no time. She is really sad about it now. To make her laugh, I just told her that maybe nicer strands would grow soon and she would have the most beautiful hair ever. Anyways, hair transplants could really help if things get worse.
