hello blogspot! good morning!

i know it's already 12 in the afternoon but i feel like greeting you all a very good morning, so i hope that's not a problem. =)

so, i spent my morning trying to find where the missing bills are because my dear gorgeous hubby already needs to pay 'em but he doesn't know where the heck they went. needless to say, i did the diggin'. luckily, i found 'em! they're where i always put the bills. weird, right? because that's exactly where i started searching but didn't see 'em there right away. creepy! or hmmm... let's just say, i didn't know exactly what to look for that's why it took me longer to find 'em. hehe, i think that's it!

you probably are thinking that this entry is gonna be about our first wedding anniv celebration and i'm so sorry to disappoint you. it's just that, i feel like blogging today but i don't really have that strong feeling to do that entry today, or i mean "now". if that kind of feeling kicks in later, then immona go ahead and jump into it. but for now, let's just talk about all...random stuff.

by the way, i just finished a hot cup of delicious coffee and i know i'm not supposed to have coffee or anything with caffeine at the moment because i'm kinda treating my UTI with homemade remedy (it's just drinking lots of water -- as in LOTS of it), but uhm, i really can't help it. i've been craving for it since yesterday, so now that i feel a little bit better, i went ahead and gave in to it. that's why i have a bottle (1 liter) of water here beside me (grin). immona drink it all up to wash away the caffeine that i just took into my body (hahaha, that's just my own theory).

alright! before i started this entry, i just finished watching another episode of new girl and i found myself laughing out loud at how hilarious each of the characters are. it's like when i first got hooked to how i met your mother. yeah, that's how it felt. and for some reason, after watching just one episode today, i suddenly just felt the need to blog --- just to blog with no specific topic in mind. weird? i don't think so. i think this happens to just anyone else on the planet.

so today, i think it's time for me to go back on track. i dunno! maybe, go back to practicing my 3d modeling via google sketchup and 3ds max or maybe continue with organizing our closet, because i've done the first half of it but i dunno when will i get the urge again to do the other half (errrr...). i also planned to start sewing because we've got some shorts that obviously need a little bit of repair here and there (shy grin). and i also want to continue playing my new D3 character (evil laugh). just yesterday, i started a new character - monk and amazingly i enjoyed it more that i thought i would - mixed emotions!

ah-huh! that's it for now. i hope to go back online to write a new entry later, but i don't wanna promise, because lately i've been unable to live up to my promises to you my dear blogspot.

so yeah... until my next entry! =)

RT_#3

i know i haven't been blogging as often as i said i would, so i'm really sorry. ever since i stopped working, i've been overwhelmed by the things i can accomplish at home that i ended up doing so little every day.

every day, i woke up around the same time that my hubby's supposed to get up for work. his current work schedule is from 6:30am - 3:30pm. once he's left for work, i go back to bed and woke up again at about 10am. and that's it. i feel so lazy after waking up. i know there could be a ton of things that i could do but when laziness strikes, it just eats me all up. sigh.

i'm having my late breakfast now while also doing the laundry. remember that day i said i will organize our closet? it didn't happen. yeah, lazy lazy lazy me! so i guess, i'll do it today.

by the way, we spent our first wedding anniversary at Nirwana Gardens (again). i really did not expect that it can outshine our last visit there. i'll tell you all about it in my next entry.

behold the grandiose sunset

for now, i've got chores to do. byers.

NEW OBSESSION(s)?

it’s 1:40pm right now and instead of having a normal lunch, I made myself a hot cup of coffee which is what I’ve been craving for probably the past two hours.

okay, i know that you are kind of expecting my title to be “General Cleaning_Day 4” but since i already skipped day 3, i just thought it wouldn’t be nice anymore to go on with the series. but! my new obsession actually has still something to do with my one week general cleaning agenda. since i started it on Monday (4^th June), i kind of got this new obsession. I’ve been obsessed with tidying up our small room. I feel like every day, there’s a new area that I haven’t cleaned yet, a new area which I haven’t organized and put to its perfect state yet - ya know what i mean? and so every day, i’ve been like that. i think this is what i got from watching too many “room tour videos” in youtube. and so for tomorrow, my new assignment is our closet. yay!

my other new obsession which i have been, sort of, neglecting the past 2 days is…D3. yep! i don’t think i have ever told you but i was never a gamer. my hubby has always been one. he’s already a very great and popular online gamer even before we met but he’s never ever made me to like those online games, until that day when i bought him his very own D3 copy (supposedly a collector’s edition but - long story) as a gift.

actually, even before i bought him his D3 copy, i’ve already been asking my design partner (in my previous work) how to play these kind of games (she's also a gamer since her highschool days) because i would like to surprise my hubby. the gift i've been wanting to give him is not only the D3 copy but also my interest and willingness to join him in playing, as he’s always wanted me to play with him.

so yeah, I’ve been playing it since then and surprisingly, i like it! i didn’t expect to enjoy it whenever my heart beats so fast like it’s gonna jump out of my mouth because i’m killing the “boss” and i’m scared that i will die in the process, but i do! it is truly totally nerve-wracking but definitely fun!

let's begin ACT IV - hell yeah!

speaking of, i think immona play one round now. i’m starting ACT IV already. so talk to yah later!

General Cleaning_Day 2

hello blogspot!

i'm back. yesterday's indeed a very busy day for me. i've got a few achievements and lemme share 'em to you:



hmmm...

this area made me sweat the most, whew!

so today is Day 2 of my general cleaning series, and i've the built-in study table with cupboards to tidy up this time. here's the "before picture".

good luck to me!

so yeah. i'll be back again tomorrow to give you some updates. bye for now. =p

General Cleaning_Day 1

hello blogspot!

today is my fourth day as an official housewife. yay! my gorgeous hubby gave me enough time to rest and kind of adjust to being just here at home before i start with all the things that i'm bound to do like tidying the room, cooking and other major wifey's stuff. grin.

so today is the first day of the general cleaning movement. haha. so, immona go ahead and start with it first and probably will give you some updates either later or tomorrow as i will surely be a busy bee (at least for this week).

i. am. already. excited. yay!

see yah later. :p

RT_#2

It feels like a decade already since I last updated this site. Hmmm… so let’s see. Maybe it’s a good time for another doze of RT series… say episode 2, shall we?

So what do I have this time? Oh yeah, let’s start with my job. As it is obviously not a secret anymore, yes I’m resigning very soon. It’s very toxic in office. What’s going on everyday is just… not normal. I won’t give specific details out because it’s just not appropriate but let’s just say that we (the employees) just really can’t cope with all the projects. Yep, we’ve got tons of projects. If you’d look at it, you’ll say our company is in for a very big turnover by end of the year and by how it sounds, it only implies that everything is going on so well. Except, it is not. The number of projects that we’re getting may be good for the company but not for us, the employees. There’s just one very good answer to all these: we’re understaffed. And with that, it leaves me with working for hours and hours with no proper compensation. Sigh. Ah, enough of this. I don’t want to go deeper into this…

Jumping to another topic, I just finished another Sophie Kinsella book (Can You Keep a Secret?). Honestly, I was disappointed. There’s this part of the story that made me so connected to it that I didn’t even want to stop reading it but when I reached its ending, I was like, “So that was it? So what happened back in their office? Did Jack Harper even fire Nick and Artemis? Did they finally start giving Emma the credit and respect she deserves?” It’s just, you know, not the ending I was expecting. I don’t know. Something is missing. Unlike the shopaholic series, this one doesn’t seem to have a sequel so I was expecting so much more from its ending. I wanted to do a review on it as well on the other books I’ve finished reading but I realized… I DON’T DO REVIEWS. hahaha. I mean, it’s just not my thing. I don’t think my review would be any helpful to someone who would want to know what that book is all about. hahaha. I really don’t know.

Okay, so what else? Hmmm… oh yeah, I still owe you that story about my hubby’s proposal and the wedding… I just still can’t get myself to sit and write about it. That is also why I am so looking forward to my resignation. It seems like it will be my freedom. I really wanted to rest… to wake up and not think of going to work. I used to love it but now I’m starting to just literally drag myself to go to work every single day. I don’t find fulfillment in it anymore and that was the only reason I stayed in the first place. Now that that thing is gone, I don’t see any point prolonging my agony. Ah yeah, Biggs. Oh yeah, I have to remind myself that I need to carry on with this for at least 3 more months for Biggs… Hmmm… okay, I think that’ll do. I can do this. I have to.

So there you have it for today. Another RT episode to help me pour out my misery. Until next time!

monday blogger

how was my monday?

this morning when i woke up, i already felt very light-headed. probably because i've been staying up late these past nights working on take-home drawings. seriously, it's starting to take toll on my body. sigh. so yeah, i woke up feeling a little dizzy already but of course, still went in for a shower. did my daily make up routine and headed to the nearest bustop where i will take my first ride for the day. in order to get to office, i will have to ride a bus going to the nearest mrt station, then take the train then take a bus again until i reach the nearest bus stop to our office. it doesn't end there. i still have to walk to get to our building. so you see, just going to work is already a lot of work (or okay, let's just call it exercise - whatever!).

due to the fact that i already was not feeling well when i woke up, i literally almost fainted after running so fast for my first ride today. and because i was wearing a bloody red lipstick, no one inside the bus even noticed that i was all pale and was about to throw up. i even felt cold drops of perspiration down my neck. it was really awful. the worse part of it all, i was standing on the bus, because that's how it really is every morning when you're rushing to go to work. yeah it sucks.

when i reached the mrt station, i rested on a bench first before continuing my travel. and when i boarded the train, to my dismay... i was standing again. good thing i found a pole where i can lean on. i wanted to ask those who were sitting to give up their seat for me but i just can't do that, can i?

my only consolation despite my unusual travel experience was to discover that i still won the early-bird-catches-the-worm award for today. at least i can say that all the hassles i went through earlier was all worth it.

then in the afternoon, about 2:30-3pm, i had to be at the site of our biggest project to take measurements (yet again) and to talk to clients about some little details.

--oOo--

now, i'm back here. i got another set of take-home drawings. sigh. if this is really how my work is gonna be every single day, then i seriously have to go. whether i'm trying to conceive or not, this kind of living is really not good in any way.

speaking of, yeah that's the reason why i will be resigning in june. it seems that too much stress from work is the reason why we still can't make our precious little angel. so yeah. i gotta take that first step and see how it goes after that… ;-)

that's all i've got for today. i'll do my work first so i can rest early, even just for tonight...
hopefully… fingers crossed.

RT_#1

**this is my very first and official random thoughts series. =) so from now on, every time i wanna blog about random things, i'll name it as RT with a number (for me to track how many random thoughts i've shared with you already... if that makes any sense at all) so yeah...**

--oOo--

ok. so it’s sunday today and I feel like I just woke up even though it’s already 6:13 in the evening. i have my hot and delicious coffee here with me and I’m torn between these two books in front of me: Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella (the last one in the shopaholic series – my gorgeous and sweet hubby bought me the whole series of it as a Christmas present – now, isn’t that absolutely sweet?!!!) and Million Dollar Mates by Cathy Hopkins (which I only got for free because I bought an interior design magazine last year). while I still can’t decide, I figured I’ll kill time first by blogging about… doodoorudu… just about anything I can think of.

ok, let’s see. so today is the fifth day that my hubby and I are not together, as in literally away from each other. yeah, sadness. that’s because he went back home last Wednesday morning and since then I’ve been living solo here in our little room which we consider as our “house”. we are living in an HDB (housing development board) unit. the whole unit has a very spacious living room, a dining room, a kitchen, 1 common bathroom, 3 bedrooms and 1 master bedroom with its own bathroom. we are the lucky ones who own the master bedroom and this is what we call our “house”. PAUSE…

--oOo--

sorry about that. it’s now 8:35PM here. my mom made an overseas call and we talked for like an hour. then when we’re about to finish, she passed the phone to my lil sis (who is not little anymore, I’m just so used to calling her my lil sis) and we just talked for about 15-20 seconds literally, so I had to call back as it is obviously not enough (like duh?!!!). our conversation went on and on and we talked for almost an hour too. waaaa I can’t imagine how much I’d be paying for my phone bill by month-end. I’m already shaking by just the thought of it. hahaha

so what did we talk about? hmmmm…. loads of… stuff… all kinds of stuff. hahaha. some personal stuff which I don’t really like to broadcast here. sorry.

my coffee is… well as you may have guessed already: COLD. yeah. but it’s okay because I’ve finished about 2/3 of it. hmmm…

sorry for my very incoherent entry today. i’m just really a little distracted lately. maybe the fact that my hubby is not here is one of the reasons why. it could also be because I’m already too stressed from work that all I wanna do now is unwind and just, you know, relax a little bit. my head just wants to explode right now. I have so many things to think of about work that it seems like work is my life. and that shouldn’t be the case at all! work can’t be my life but somehow it’s starting to be like that. argh!

so yeah… this entry is getting miles and miles long but is not really going anywhere. so I guess, I better stop here. i’ll try to post a new entry tomorrow. i said I’ll try, ok?

so yeah… see you… soon… ciao!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

So…

My eyes are all puffy right now and I am very light headed as of this typing…

I did it again. Worked so late at night again to finish some take-home drawings…

That’s really the problem when you are handling so many projects at a time. It’s always either you get too excited about it or you get too tired and too sick of it. In my case, I think I’m still a little bit of both. I mean, yeah, my plan to resign is already final but I still feel some excitement with some of the projects I’m handling. Well, I guess it’s better that way than not feeling anything at all. I don’t wanna leave the company feeling really tired and really so over it --- ya know what I mean? I want to feel good when I resigned. I mean not the at-long-last-my-working-days-are-over kind of feeling but rather I want that i-will-miss-all-of-you mixed with it’s-really-been-nice-working-with-all-of-you kind of thing. Hahaha.

Yah I’m a bit crazy right now because like I said in the beginning I stayed up so late last night. I slept at about 2AM.

I’m actually in office right now. Hahaha. I’m just pausing for just a short break, then I’ll hit my super-speed button again and I’ll be done with all the tasks I’ve assigned to myself today. Multi-tasking is really one of the things that I naturally do. Hahaha.

Alright! I better end it here. I need to go back to my work. Talk to you later!

The Excitement Continues...

After 5 consecutive days of staying at home, the more I feel that this is what I want and what I need. I’ve never been this sure in my life! Well… erm…  I mean… except when I said YES to my hubby’s proposals (take note: plural) and when I answered "yes i do" to the judge's question of taking Godwin ay my husband. And yeah about that... I will still post an entry about "that" soon (i just can't tell you yet how soon is my soon... errr... peace!)

The past five days have been very wonderful and I must say I didn’t get enough of it. And that’s a good thing, right? Really, I don’t want to go to work anymore. I am no longer excited despite my new projects (‘coz normally I can’t wait to get back to work when I have new projects but this time it’s really different).

This may not really mean that I’m totally giving up on working. It’s just that for now, I really believe and feel that this is what I need: a break from work. Who knows? One day, it’ll be I again who’d be dying to have a job. But as long as that time hasn’t come yet, I’ll stay in this thought where all I’d want to do is stay at home and rest and be a good housewife while thinking of doing some fun stuff.

There are a lot of things I can do at home. And just by thinking of ‘em right now, I’m already excited and just can’t wait for it to happen! Just the thought of it is making me smile already. It’s weird. I dunno how to explain exactly but there’s this tingling effect to my body every time the words “resign” “stay at home” “rest” “break” are passing by my thoughts.

I have less than 6 months now… yay!

I know this post is kinda nonsense and a little rubbing-it-in kinda way after my last entry but I dunno, I just can’t contain it and besides, this is my blog…. so I can practically say whatever I want to say here. yay!

Oh! About some entries that I promised I’d be posting soon. erm… because I’m back to work tomorrow, it might get a little delayed... again. Sorry… but I promise to really work on updating this site much more often than the past months. (peace! =D)

- End of daydreaming, back to the real world -

So yeah, that’s it for now. 'gotta work on my takehome works for now. Oh yeah, back to the real world.

DONE: 'picked one!

i have fallen out of love…for my work.

yeah.

well, let’s just say that i’m really one of those you can consider as a true-blue workaholic type of person. before, it was mainly because I had to. it's totally out of my obligations to my family, but in the long run, I became that person without even having the need to be one. this may all sound a little odd and/or confusing at the same time, but really, I’ve been in love with work (nomatter what job it is) for the past 5 years.

however, just very recently, i realized that i've been slowly drifting away. i realize that i already want to… erm.. have a break (may not be a permanent thing but just for the time being). yet, no matter how much i want it, it seems not that simple.

it ain’t that easy because i have made some promises not so long ago to some people very dear to me and i have started a few new obligations which without saying i've to fulfill… but blimey, once i've fulfilled those very recent promises and accomplished my new set of obligations, i’m 100% sure that i would want to pursue what i've been wanting to do for quite sometime now: TO REST.

in fact, I’m already drafting in my mind a list of things that I’d be doing at home while I’m working at becoming the best housewife in the world (wish me luck on the that!). included in the list are:

1.      adding more recipes to my cookbook (my goal: to make my hubby chubbier)

·         that means i'll be waking up early everyday to prepare and serve his breakfast, make sure he can bring something good and healthy to eat at work, and preparing dinner for when he comes back at night.

2.      making sure that the my gorgeous hubby would not run out of clothes to wear (so laundry and ironing will always be in check)

3.      i'll learn sewing!

4.      i'll be keeping our small home clean and will extend my charity to the whole house (eherm. grin)

5.      i'll be cuddling my guitar more often (and might go back to writing new songs. hmmm...)

6.      i'll be reading more books (I’m already very excited)

7.      i'll continue practicing my 3d skill until I get it very well polished (preparing for my new job – whatever that maybe..)

8.      i'll watch more movies (love this)

9.      i'll be blogging more often

10.  Oh there are so much more that I just can’t think of yet as of the moment.

also, let me just tell you that this list is, of course, bound to change (or maybe updated) when there's already a bun in the oven! (yay! happy thoughts.)

i am already so excited and so looking forward to it. hopefully everything falls into its proper places so that i won't have to worry about a lot of things when the time comes. giggles of excitement!

that would be all for now. Ciao!

sneak peek!

right now, there’s just a ton of things that I wanna share with you. obviously, a lot of things (major and minor) happened already since the last time I updated this blog (so sorry, pure laziness). so yeah, I intend to let you all know about all the details but not today as I’m still very busy. grin.

but just a heads-up, here are some of the things that i might be discussing in the coming days:

• how was my Christmas and new year?
• any new year resolution?
• have I picked one already? (oh yeah!)
• what I’ve always planned to tell you all since day 1 of this blog: how i got engaged and my very happy wedding (although it’s kind of pretty late already, I still wanna reminisce it in a bloggy way –giggles)

and there’s a lot more! so just hang in there but for now… good night. ^^
