Project 03

A super late update.

Week 3 was an uneventful week for me. Nothing extraordinary happened aside from the fact that I lost my phone for the -nth time. I'm so dismayed that day because I can't leave the house in time for my class since my brother wasn't home yet from work. I blame him why I lost my phone that day. He wasn't answering my calls and messages. So I opted to bring the keys to my grandparents house. While walking along our street, I remembered texting him where to get the keys. A few minutes after riding a cab, I realized that my phone was missing. I'm so disappointed with myself. Good thing I still have my Globe phone with me. So if you need anything, you may contact me through my Globe number. Will get a new phone by Wednesday for my Sun sim. I'll be using the same number so don't delete it in your phonebooks.

JOB FAIR

That week was also the university's Job Fair week. Even though I plan to study again after graduation, I still submitted my resume to some of the companies. The Placement Office also provided a soft copy of our graduation pictures so that we can use it in our resumes. One word to describe my grad pic, Fail! Annie and I weren't really satisfied with our pictures. Oh well! But aside from being busy with the job fair, Annie and I applied for our SSS numbers. Talk about express lane! Thank you Placement Office. I remember Kuya inviting me last sembreak to apply for my SSS number with him. I said yes but I totally forgot about it. I'm not even sure if he got his ID already.

COMPLIMENT?
I got innumerable yet the same comment that week from my family, friends and acquaintances. Ang payat mo! (You look thin!) I admit that I had problems with my eating habits. Well it started way back during Christmas break, but it got worse when classes resumed. My regular weight is 100lbs. End of Christmas break, I was 95 lbs. And just this week, my weight's 92lbs. I didn't expect my weight lost to manifest this soon. But not to worry, I started eating again this week. Hence, no more flat tummy for me.

THE BIG DAY!
I've been mentioning about this in my previous entries. It was my Lolo and Lola's BIG DAY! They celebrated their 75th Birthday (not anniversary) together. It was held at Makati Park last January 23. A total of 250 guests! All the ladies were pretty in their cocktail dresses while the gentlemen looked dashing in their barongs. I'll soon upload the pictures and videos or our presentations that day. One is my duet with Marga; the other is my family's dance number.

Baby Eli sporting a barong. He was extra adorable that night.

Early Christmas Gifts

God knows how stressed I am for the past few weeks. I don't seem to get enough time for my own family and even for myself. Not that I'm complaining about school work (I've already learned how to love and appreciate my studies), i just want a BREAK from this nerve-racking routine. It's as if after submitting a requirement for school, my brain automatically shuts down for the next 24 hours, which is not good!
But the Lord never fails to surprise me with great things and I am more than blessed for all the early Christmas gifts he gave me.
1. A Grade of C in chapter 2 of our thesis
- It was quite a relief to know that everyone in our class got a C. Why did Mr. Venida gave us a C? For him, C means "Continue working". So technically, he didn't give us a grade. Thank God, it wasn't an F.
2. Pia and Kirae
- Pia texted me out of the blue if I was doing anything. Since I didn't want to do anything productive that night I called her immediately. Our chat lasted for more than an hour. I won't tell the details of our conversation, but I surely miss her. Thank you for bearing with me. You know that you can count on me as well. Love you Pi!
- Kirae's YM avatar is a pic of us taken during LTAB of YE 20. Another person whom I miss big time. I shall see you soon girlfriend. Love you Kirae! This one's for you.


3. Kythe
-Kythe means healing through simple sharing and togetherness. It's true that every moment spent with these kids can actually make them happy and feel alive. But personally, I cannot deny the fact that these kids have helped me more than I helping them. They're smiles and innocence makes me want to be a kid again. They remind me to concentrate on what is good and nice about life and to stop being pessimistic. I love them. I love being with kids. They make me want to shift into a different career path. Can you imagine me teaching toddlers?
