She who has been: looking

I accidentally saw this picture when I was checking La Mesa Eco Park. I'm planning to go there anytime soon to unwind and was dumbstruck after seeing this picture.  Mesmerizing indeed. I dont know how to ask permission to the photographer without making an account on his site. As always, I made a link and I'm praying that he won't sue me :)


FYI:

I really love it.

She who has been: enjoying her new post

Yes! I'm in my new post today. I moved here a week ago after a few months of coaxing, teasing and bullying
my foreign manager already gave up hahahaha I sit with Mhinnie on my left, Cecille on my right and Grei behind me. At least Im not that death bored anymore. Only bored. 
I'm running low of money T.T cry cry I need to find a way on how am I going to stretch my Php 400 from tomorrow until August 5th [8 freaking days].

Let's see. I hope this plan will wor. Cross fingers! 
I'll start walking and bringing lunch at work.
I'll go to my mom's on Friday then be back on Sunday.
Walk going to the office on Monday.

Anyways, I'll rather walk than to break my oath. I should stay focus to my goals for next year if I want to get good result.

agreed?

She who has been: in pain

...since last friday

* cry cry TT

My back hurts more today. Maybe because I literally sits for 18 hours or so. I only stand up when I have to pee or eat. Stress, wrong sitting and sleeping position could also add plus my body condition is really weakening unlike before. I feel sick, tired and dead-bored inside but I have to endure. Yes. Endure for another 6 months until my finances are stable and safe for a few months.

She who has been: waiting

I received a message from my father yesterday afternoon after my 3rd afternoon nap :D. He said that he'll arrived on Tuesday, AM. I immediately forwarded the message to my sister, Aileen then sent a message to my sister, Chile that I would be home on Saturday like what I had planned a few weeks ago, with or without father coming, though having him home would be better. At my age, [my sisters as well] I'm still excited to know what father had bought for us during his travels.

hmmmm

I'm wondering what am I going to have this time? [eyes shining with a grin on her face and brushing her palms] hehehe I emailed father that I wanted a new camera for my birthday, since my is sooo annoying but now I would be very grateful if he'll give me some cash. I'm still far from being dirt poor but I wanted to be on the safe side in the financial road of personal-slavery-to-get-what-I-want-idea of mine.

wish me all the luck (~.^)

She who has been: exhausted

..since I started this craziness of mine.

First reason why I allowed my previous manager, who is now in Korea to talk me over taking another shift was, well..simply because I'm not doing anything at home. But it doesn't mean that I didn't take it seriously. I actually took it by the heart. Well, like what the old saying says, "What ever you do, DON'T do it half way".

Second, it's another paycheck love with 0% deduction. For someone who is single, wants to buy all the perks that she needed and wanted well, that is something big. Let's see, hmmm I traveled [actually PAL and I are new best friends, I even have my own mileage now hahaha], I bought a condo in Ortigas that would be available after 2 years [it's cheaper that way, great iinvestment] and lastly, I'll have my new dog after 2 weeks. Not pretty bad, right? hehehe

But now, after 10 months of working for literally, 20 hrs [5AM to 11PM] I'm getting exhausted. It comes easy before because I have 2 talkative girls sitting with me especially in the afternoon but since 3 weeks ago, when they pull-out Mhinnie's PM shift and let a snobbish girl sits in her station in the afternoon, work gets exhausting, boring and all-throughout unsatisfying for me. If not only for my purchases, I'll be out here, since I'm getting heavier and stupid nowadays. 

I was the second who agrees to do this.
In my previous post, I wrote that Sally was the first one then she stopped then came back again and then was pulled out with Mhinnie. After 2 weeks, she's in the same scenario again. Supposedly, Mhinnie too but the girl has to do something so, yeah Sally's back.

haaay!
* sigh!

I can hold it.
I know I can!

She who has been: mourning

Mhinnie's father passed away last Sunday, July 4th. We were all shocked because her father flew to the province few days ago, with no implications or whatnot. Few days ago, after sending her father off she mentioned that he [father] was so surprised because PAL ushered him to VIP cabin instead to coach on where he was supposed to seat. He was very amazed because they even gave him sandwiches and pasta while on board. We didn't know, especially Mhinnie and her family that, it would be her father's last flight. For this, we thank PAL. To make his last flight memorable though it's unintentional.

She went to the office just to get her salary last Monday. Take calls yesterday and she's gone again now. Yesterday, she told us that her father had a heart attack and didn't reach the hospital. Her mom flew to the province with her best friend, Rica last Monday and she'll be in the province tomorrow.

She said that she was amazed when she came back home, Monday afternoon. Her neighbors went to their house to offer prayers and after a few hours, her church mates dropped by. She wasn't able to feed them or offer them anything since she wasn't prepared and still in shocked. But after hearing her stories, I was so surprised. I thought that cultural attitude has long gone. 

Please, offer a prayer for her old man. 
Thank you.
