venti forever

We just had a really good dinner at Sentro yesterday. It was such a nice surprise because I was ready to have a quick, cheap, fast food place. Lol. Imagine my surprise when I was dragged into Sentro. It's a really cozy restaurant in Greenbelt 3. The service was FANTASTIC and the food was great. Just wanted to share it. =)

some awesome things in my life

I have been truly, truly negative the last few weeks and it amazes me since I used to be this bubbly, positive, giddy person. Heck, I haven't even been able to blog anything good lately and that is just not acceptable. So now, I will write about some awesome things in my life to remind me AGAIN of how lucky I am.

1. supportive family
2. supportive friends
3. I still have work. STILL.
4. I got some interviews (hopefully I passed.)
5. I have a roof over my head.
6. I still get to eat food that I want, anytime I want.
7. I have J.
8. my brother has an awesome job and my other brother is graduating next
9. my lil sis is still on the top 3 honor list eventhough she's been studying on her own
10. my Mom and other family members are in good health

All in all, we are still pretty lucky if I may say so. Right?

wasted and wanting

I have been playing nanny to my son for the past 4 days. I am literally at wits end. He has been clingy at best and a brat at worst. I have tried widening my patience and lengthening it but really ... I get tired too.

Yeah yeah I know some of you are thinking, well, you're a Mom. Yes I am a MOM but I am also human. I am not a robot who can be perky all she wants to be and not tire of it. I had him checked up yesterday and he was pretty fine save for a few coughs and a slight fever.

At the hospital, he was like a monkey who was just wrapped around me. Some of you may think it sweet but try having a 3 feet, 41lbs monkey wrapped around you for an hour and you just may sing a different tune.

I am just so tired from lack of sleep, worrying, and tending to B for almost 4 days straight. Please Lord, heal my son. Not even for me but just for him. PLEASE.

Free Rice

Please visit and play this game. It will allow you to donate 10 grains of rice per every right answer. It is http://www.freerice.com/ and its such an easy way to help people.

As stated here ...

" The food price crisis, dubbed a "silent tsunami" for the world’s poor, is far from over. A recent study revealed that food prices are higher than they were 12 months ago in 46 developing countries. In nine of the countries, food prices are the highest on record.

The current economic crisis, first felt in developed nations, is now impacting on developing nations too. People living in these regions have much less to cushion the blow of an economic downturn and hunger is on the increase.

The combination of high food prices and the economic downturn has the makings of a humanitarian.

In the Horn of Africa, where climate change is aggravating the situation, the effects of the two crises are especially harsh. And as the global economic and financial crises compound the food crisis, hunger and malnutrition are likely to increase further."

Let's help them and be grateful we can extend this kind of help ... spread the word!

B is sick ...

Please pray he gets well real soon. Thanks.

certain of being uncertain

Right now, there is only one thing I am certain of, and that is I am uncertain of how things will be at work. Do I want to be transferred to a new project? Do I want to be retrenched?

I have done all that is expected of me. I have applied internally and have been applying externally. I am thinking of going abroad and working there. I am thinking of living abroad. But I have so many questions in mind. I have so many things that I think about.

Right now, the only thing that I really am certain of, is that I am uncertain.

B's letter to me

Best letter ever!

the battle of the planners

So I am torn ... I just saw the newest Starbucks Planner for 2010 but I have also fallen in love with the Belle du Jour planner for 2010. The Starbucks planner would cost me around 2,000php since I need to get 17 drinks to get it while the Belle du Jour planner would cost me around 700php. So the dilemma now is since the STarbucks Tradition have started, I have made a point of getting a planner; every single year. If I don't get it now, I will break the tradition. However, I really don't have the means to get one now. Hmmm ... help!

so tired ... so darn tired

The past 4 days I have not been at work ... 1st day I was on SL because I was not feeling well ... the 2nd day I was on leave because it was my bday and the 3rd and 4th, it was my rest day. I should feel well rested. I should feel refreshed right? I don't. The past weekend, when the clock strikes 9pm or so, I am already sleepy. Actually, the entire day I am sleepy even when I've gotten 8 hours or more of sleep. It's like the stress of the past year or so is finally catching up to me and all I wanna do is sleep and sleep and sleep.

It's kind of scary.

I wonder why I am tired all the time. =(
