=) .... =( .... =)

Heehee, I can't make up my mind whether I'd be disappointed and sad or not. Today is the graduation of J. He is not excited at all, probably because he didn't get any medals. If you are following my blog, you would probably know too that he's not gonna get any. Well I thought I was over it, but when I attended the ceremony today, I felt something different. Yes I was disappointed, parents dream of seeing their kids go up the stage with their medals. Honestly I was hoping that the school admin would be considerate enough since his grade qualifies him to have one. But then rules are rules and who am I to bend it. Anyway, the fact that I know his general average qualifies him to have a medal, well that's enough consolation for me.

Help Me Find It

Grrrrr...I wanted to iron my hair yesterday but I couldn't find it. I swear I just placed it on the bed to let it cool first before putting it inside the drawer. Anyways I was getting frustrated looking for it, that even my helpers helped. There was only one thing in our minds. It's so impossible for it to disappear just like that because none of us remember putting it away. I was already getting mad, I began retracing my steps on the last day I remembered using it. But I was definitely sure that I placed it on the bed. I asked everyone including my boys, N and Josh. They both said that they didn't touch it. Ok fine! The following morning, I was still searching for it, and this time I was really hhhmmm maybe a ghost wants to look beautiful. Then all of a sudden, a male voice was heard. Do I get a reward if I find it? It belongs to N. Ok at the back of my mind, hhhmmm I think you have something to do with it. True enough, please look at the picture. Tell me, how in the world will someone put the iron in the bike? It blends so well that I really didn't notice it. And he was saying something like, "You don't know how to look for things!" Yeah right! Grrrr!

Nope, Not Tomorrow =(

I thought I was gonna get it last Wednesday, because that's what Josh told me. He was the one who picked up the call and the guy from the service center left a message. Yes, he got the message right but he added something to it. I think he was playing an online game that's why he didn't pay much attention. Good thing I called the service center to verify if indeed my laptop was for release. And the answer I got was a NO. The part already arrived from Singapore but they are still in the process of installing and testing it. My, my, I'm getting a little impatient already. I hope to get it back before school's out, if not I will have to content myself with my 8 year old laptop =( that is sooooooooooooo slow.

Boo!

I really feel so bad. I thought I was able to get a good deal. In fact I was really proud of myself when I was able to get a very good discount of an item I saw. Good thing there was only one left in their stock. I was even planning to get a few of it to give away on Christmas to some of my friends. If not I would be wailing by now. If I was to get 5 pcs of that item, then I'd lose 1000 pesos. That's a pretty good sum and I will not be able to forgive myself for being soooo stupid. Sometimes it really pays to do some window shopping first to be able to compare prices. But I don't have the luxury of time to do that. Oh well!

System Error

Hay naku! Talaga naman! Sabi dahil daw sa system error nila kaya na reject ang posts ko. Oo dalawang post. Dalawang posts na pinaghirapan kong gawin. Di biro ang umupo at magsulat noh. Kung san san nako nakatingin baka sakali may mga lumabas na pangungusap at pede kong kopyahin. Minsan naka tingala ako sa kisame baka sakali andun yung sagot sa mga tanong ko. Tapos ganun ganun nalang? Ni-reject nila yung posts dahil sa sarili nilang pagkakamali, tapos ang sagot lang sayo is sorry for the inconvenience? Tama yun? Hay buhay nga naman! Patawarin nyo na ako, first time ko kasi ma-reject dito sa kumpanyang eto, or totally 1st time ma reject na di pede mag resubmit. Ang daya di ba? At eto pa, meron pang dagdag trabaho, kung gusto ko daw, tanggalin ko yung 2 particular posts, aba di bale nalang, tulong ko nalang sa kanila yun, pasko naman eh.

Razon's

Have you tried eating at Razon’s here in Manila? N and I are avid fans of Razon’s Halo-Halo and Pancit Luglog. I was really fine and contented eating at Razon’s MOA, Greenhills and Banawe Branches until I tried Razon’s in San Fernando, Pampanga. Can you see the difference? The serving here in Manila is not as heaping, and to think they say that there’s not much difference. Big difference I tell you! Just look at the pancit luglog, tell me, whenever you eat at Razon’s in Manila, do they put as much chicharon (pork rind)? Do you see the same amount of leche flan in your halo-halo?

BORED

I feel so down lately, I hope it's just the weather, but I don't think it is. My life has become quite routinary, and I am not at all happy about it. I miss the times that I can do a lot of things, like read a book, diy stuffs, nail art, beading, watching movies, watching television, chatting with friends, playing video games, bloghopping, going out with friends and fixing the house. I think doing sponsored writing has taken it's toll. I know it's my fault, who does not want to earn a lil extra moolah. It's because I miss the times that I earn my own keep. It's been like 9 years already. And I was just happy again to be earning. Ooops, don't get me wrong with this. N has been providing me with the things I need (there's nothing to complain here) but I just miss the times that I don't need to ask or something, and just go ahead and buy things that satisfy me once in a while. I know you get my point.

But is it really worth my time? At some point, I think it is, but this time it should not consume me. As it is, I'm a little eager to just click and click all the available offers without me thinking, can this cause stress? I admit, I've been a little stressed beating deadlines, and has caused me some zits. Plus the fact that I have been eating a lot of junk foods while in front of the laptop doing sponsored posts. Yes it helps me think while munching on those chips, weird or not, well that's me. I'm no longer allowing myself to sit my b**t out in front of the laptop refreshing the page too often waiting for an opportunity to appear, yes it gets a little tiring. Don't get me wrong with this entry, yes I'll still be doing sponsored writing of course! Especially now that it has allowed me to sponsor my own travels, I can now commit to my cousins to go with them to Beijing and Shanghai this March, thanks to "getting paid to blog". Geez, it's only now that I realized, OMG what am I trying to say? Bottom line is I still like to do sponsored writing and I just cannot give it up just yet. Golly, what boredom can do! I can't even make up my mind. But I promise you, I can get rid of boredom and find something nice to do. That is what I'm made of, nothing and nobody can put me down! Yeeha!

Pissed Off Big Time!

I just do not understand why there are still people who are ill-mannered and inconsiderate. At our wedding coverage yesterday, the couple hired two different teams of photographers. This is not the first time that we covered a wedding with 2 teams of photographers, but this is the first time I experienced such irresponsible photographer. I was elbowed, yes me, a frail photographer in my little black dress! How dare him! We were all lined up, ready to take photos of the couple, I was positioned in the right spot, and he was beside me. He probably wanted to exchange places with me, so he can take better pictures. But what the hell is that elbow for? This is not a do or die shot anyway! I may have forgiven you when you blocked my way twice or thrice, but this elbow thing? Man, we shall still see each other!

This is work, and remember we were both hired. Can you please at least give courtesy and show some respect next time, you are a photographer too and you wouldn't want this to happen, know how to play fair. Use your head, you can still take good pictures even in the sidelines you know!

Sad =(

The report cards were released the other day, but Josh was not given his, instead I got a “love letter” from his class adviser requesting us to go see the HELE (Home Economics) teacher. So I went to the AV Room yesterday and talked with the teacher. He did not pass 1 project so he got a grade of 0, making his grade in the report card 68, yes for the first time, a red mark. The teacher claimed that she sent a warning slip, to which I asked, how come I did not get any? She showed me the copies but could not provide her duplicate copy of the slip she was suppose to give my son. I really didn’t have time to argue with her as I was in a hurry to leave for a meeting. There will be a PTC tomorrow, and I’m still not resting my case.

Now he can’t be in the top 10, even if his average is 90.4 because of that damn HELE. First time since he started school. I am sad and disappointed, but what can I do?

Ish on the other hand got her report card too. Yep, I’m quite disappointed with her grades too, but encouraged her to concentrate more. It’s hard raising up teenagers, seems like a lot is getting in their way when it comes to their studies, they are not as focused anymore. I don’t like to pressure them either, but at the same time I am disappointed when they fall short of my expectations…what now?

.:: I Didn't See it Coming ::.

I was doing some work in my laptop when suddenly the screen went blank *gasp*! Really, I didn't expect such thing to happen coz it's like 3 months old? I kept receiving a warning from Norton that I had to renew my subscription with them. It's no longer a 1 year subscription that normally goes with every purchase of a computer, mine was 3 months, arrrggghhh! I thought of switching to McAfee's VirusScan Plus, which I used in Joshua's laptop. So I uninstalled Norton so it won't post a conflict with McAfee. Read the rest of the entry HERE .

I am Disappointed Big Time

On my way there, I had mixed feelings, anger coupled with disappointment, and at the back of my head I was silently praying, Lord I hope not, as I know i'll be disappointed big time. True enough I was disppointed and heart broken, I didn't expect that she'd be doing it to me, as I am trying very hard to communicate with her, understand her, stoop 100 levels down just to get through. To borrow my son's famous line...Ahhhhh....This is Life! Indeed this is life and it's wonderful!
