Clumsy Day..

Been very clumsy lately.. Keeps on hitting and droppings things for reason I don't know... Maybe too much thinking..? Yesterday, I accidentaly hit my officemates glass of water in his table while returning something on his desk.. It was less than half full of water and it is a good thing that it only spilled on his desk and some little spots on his keyboard and on his cellphone.. It's a good thing that nothing bad happened on his things except that I used up all his remaining tissue while cleaning up his desk.. Tsk..Tsk.. Bad me..

LRT's BAD service..

It’s already seven in the morning and I’m walking the streets from my aunt’s house toward the LRT station and luckily when I arrived at the station came one of their trains. I ride on one of their carts and the first thing that I noticed was that its air conditioning unit is not running at optimal level because I could already feel the heat upon riding the train. Drops of sweat kept pouring down my body and I was planning to transfer to another cart but what I saw when I look out to the other carts was a man swiping the sweat out of his face so I didn’t anymore transfer. I’m a bit frustrated with the service of LRT to think that I am paying 15 pesos for a fast and convenient ride from my place to my destination but what I got was only a fast ride. Those carts that have some air conditioning problems or defects must not be anymore used unless they are repaired by LRT because commuters are feeling short-changed with what we are paying as against to what service we are getting.

Mayday!! Mayday!!

I guess we are having a series of bad luck lately. First was that up to now, we still don’t have water in our house for the motor of the pump is still not operational. Don’t know if the owner of the house made it a point not to anymore fix the motor because he want my family and my cousin out of his property. Actually I, myself, would really want to move and transfer to our new place but the thing is that we still cannot transfer to our new place for it is not yet done. From what I saw and know was it was only around less than 50% of it had been done but the engineer already got around 90k or 900k pesos more than what he was supposed to received by that time. The project of our house was already around 8-9 months delayed and is not anymore progressing. Don’t know the real reason why this is the situation but from what I heard was that there was a time before that the engineer and my dad didn’t came into terms regarding some modifications of the design. Then when my dad decided not to anymore modify the design, but the engineer can’t anymore continue the project. The engineer already used up the excess money that we already paid him. Actually I already talked to him last Sunday morning regarding this and said that he was still waiting for the approval of his loan. Come to think of it, we don’t care whether his loan was approved or not but. We need to finish our house already and it is not our fault why he has no money right now. Why did he use up the excess payment that we gave him in the first place? He is the brother of my uncle’s wife and he already did several projects with some of my relatives and didn’t have much problem with it but I don’t know why this is now happening to us. He told me that he hasn’t received any projects yet so he didn’t have the necessary capital to continue our project. Hopefully everything will be all right and the project could already continue before this problem really gets out of hand…

Another Long Weekend..

Hay.. It’s been a long time since I got the chance to post here. Been very busy the past few days and also had a case of bad luck that up to now, we still haven’t have water in our house. The motor of the pump of our building broke down and it is taking a long time for the owner to fix the motor. It’s already 12 days that we don’t have water and still counting. Hopefully within the next 2 days, the motor will be then fixed and installed. So for the meantime, we are currently staying in our aunt’s house. It’s very hard to live in another’s house because one can’t move that much and got to live by the owner’s rule. One good thing is that it’s my aunt’s house so we wouldn’t have to adjust that much in her lifestyle but the thing that I don’t much like is her sometimes being so talkative and to the point of being almost like a nagger, especially if she is angry. Sometimes it’s just frustrating when she’s like that especially if you are tired from a hard days’ work.

It’s Tuesday again.. Back to work.. Just enjoyed the long weekend.. One thing that I don’t much like having long weekends is that sometimes if you enjoyed too much during the weekend, one sometimes tend to be being bored going back to work and would want to rest and relax more. I don’t know if this rule applies to all but it sure is to me. ü

Sayang we didn’t get the chance to go on an outing this last weekend. As usual the announcement of having a long weekend came in late again and that some of my barkada already had plans for the weekend. This is already the second time that the announcement of having a long weekend came in late. We are supposed to go white water rafting in Cagayan even though I don’t know how to swim. Hehe! ü So we spent the weekend the usual way, just played basketball and dine out on Saturday then went out with my barkada on Sunday. We watched “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” last Sunday. Actually it’s my first time to watch a movie this year. The last time I watched a movie was around September of last year when I was still working in Baguio. After working there, it’s either I don’t have enough money or I don’t have someone to accompany me to watch a movie but come to think of it, it’s more of I don’t have enough money.. Hehe! ü We also went a an exhibit after the movie but we arrive there a little bit too late for around 80% of the companies have already pull-out their display. =( The exhibit ended a little bit early than the usual time so we didn’t get the chance to see much of the products there.. =(

This was my one of my most expensive weekends for I spent a lot for food and for some of my things. My friend invited me to go shopping on an off-priced store yesterday. They are selling branded over-stocked or over-runs items. Actually I wasn’t planning to buy anything except for my lunch box that I bought from a department store nearby, but I ended up buying one long-sleeves polo and one pair of pants. Hay.. It’s a good thing that we somehow got a discount for one of my friends brought with him his school ID even though we are all already graduate from college. Hehe! ü Well, looking on the bright side, at least I have another pair of clothes that I can wear to office and for some special occasions. It’s also a good thing that I don’t have that much money yet for I might have also bought one of their jackets there. I found one that I like very much though I don’t know if I could wear that on when raining. Better not go back to that place for the rest of the month.. I might be tempted to buy again.. Hehe! And I must already start saving again for I spend quite a lot the past long weekend.. =(

The Siomai that almost got away..

I almost lost my lunch because of my aunt’s dogs!! After preparing my lunch, I took a bath and prepared to go to work when suddenly my brother called my aunt’s attention. And from what I heard from the bathroom was that the dogs climbed from the chair to the table and ate my siomai! The nerves! Starting to feel depressed, I finished my bathroom session and when I got out of the bathroom, I found out that luckily my aunt had some extra siomais prepared! I always wanted to eat dimsums! Hopefully one of these days, I could go have on an eat-all-you-can dimsum buffet!
