Wisdom tooth a.k.a. tooth from hell

Yesterday mahal texted me that she was about to undergo dental operation after a very agonizing pain because of her wisdom tooth. Sobrang lambot na raw siya nung umaga kaya nagpadala na siya sa Center. I went to their house last night and bought an instant crab and corn soup. Kawawa naman ang mahal ko.

P2,500 daw yung cost ng operation and another 2 grands pa for the medicines. Patay ang budget namin. Okay lang, um-okey lang siya. :-)

Btw, just got an airborne access account... FOR FREE!!! WOO-HOO!!! Thank you sir! I'm using it for publishing this post, nyehehehe.

Self-imposed leave

I have the right to my own silence. I was not in the mood to type, that's all.

I watched Transformers the movie last week and darn, tama si Arnold Clavio na babalik ka sa pagkabata mo (duh)! I miss my old playmates. We would form 2 groups then coming from the opposite sides of a 4-door apartment, we would crash and bump into each other with matching sound effects, just like the cartoon's opening part where the autobots and decepticons would meet behind a mountain.

Change topic.

Anlaki na pala ng anak ni Nadia, my highschool mate and very good friend. I didn't think na mauunahan pa ako ni "crush."

TGIF!

July 4 - Wala masyadong ginawa. Hohum.
July 5 - May sweldo na kami (yahay!) at syempre 82nd monthsary namin ni mahal. Panalo ang RP over Korea sa basketball.

July 2 - Pasig Day. Tumambay sa bahay at pumunta sa Monumento sa gabi
July 3 - Got stuck in super duper heavy traffic going to work
Today - Meeting sa Globe

Refreshing Escape

Me and my mahal had a very nice road trip yesterday courtesy of ka Ben. After participating in a livelihood seminar in Pansol, Laguna, we went straight to his bought piece of land in Tiaong, Quezon. Sisilipin lang daw niya yung "bahay kubo" niya dun.

ka Ben owns Salem Bed company (remember the tv ad showing a dumbo on a bed? nevermind if you're not an 80's child...). He bought the 2.4 hectare-land for his "Bunotan" plant or gawaan ng kutson out of coconut's outer "nutshell" (darn I'm sooo bad in describing things!). Mahal has found a new job there, and I guess she's happy with it. :-)


We stayed in his "bahay kubo" the rest of the day while eating nicely cooked foods. We ate ginataang suso and pato in the evening. Hanggang dalawang suso lang ako, kahit anong sarap ng pagsipsip nila (my friend had almost filled his plate with emptied shells), hindi ako natakam. Lasang lupa talaga eh. Pero hindi matatawaran yung sabaw niya. =)


Yung "bahay kubo" nga pala ni ka Ben eh may 3 A/C rooms, a hot and cold shower, and an entertainment system.

But the most special thing yesterday was ka Ben's words of fatherly advice about getting married and raising a family, based on his personal experiences that were indeed very inspiring. I fully realized how blessed this gentleman is not only on the material aspect.

Enough!

From now on, I'll stop illusioning
From now on, I'll stop hoping
From now on, I'll stop dreaming
From now on, I'll stop pretending
From now on, I'll draw the line very clearly
From now on, I'll take it as it is: nothing more, nothing less
From now on, I'll stop fooling myself

Magnet therapy products

Yesterday I checked out some products that suppose to cure lots of diseases as well as give the body additional strength and extraordinary self-healing ability. I tried the magnetic wrist band, and it seems effective. I was able to lift 5-gallons of water using only my middle finger, which I could not do before wearing the product. Ewan ko pero it could just be a placebo effect. I'm not yet fully convinced.

The other "healing" product is called alkaline water. I'll try to bring home a bottle.

Blessed and thankful

I do not have my laptop for 2 days now. Pinahiram ko muna kay Allan, our IT head, kawawa naman eh, hindi makapag-DOTA, hehe. Peace sir!

This week I was called up pala by a senior officer from Globe, and she told me that I am one of her potential candidates to fill up a good position in her department. Obviously, it's quite flattering. That might be the break that I need, instead of trying my luck in Canada. Aside from this, inaawitan din ako ng former officemate ko to join their company, and he is promising a very competitive offer. I'm yet to get the details of the position from both. I feel thankful because some people see me as a potential asset to their company.

It's Friday again, salamat kay Eden for letting me use her PC. Nothing much to do so i'm just continue to self train on Dreamweaver CS3.

New hard disk coming!

My laptop crashed yesterday and did not allow me to say goodbye to my post-backup files in the data drive. Our IT guy recommended buying a new (and bigger-capacity) HDD. And guess what, while I was thinking of buying an external disk drive to supplement my 40G ibm disk space, it was suddenly granted - company paid. =) He called our officemate who's in Singapore right now (since it is much cheaper daw getting one over there), so I expect having the hardware by next week.

For now, I reformatted my old disk which I did for the second time in only 2 months. So far, nothing wierd has happened, and all I need to install are Windowa, Outlook, Anti-virus and a Web browser in order to survive until the weekend.

But you're not trying!

This is what my Tita Mel has told me last week about my effort in trying my luck in Canada. Sinabi ko na lang sa kanya na I'm afraid na maging pabigat lang ako sa kanila if I did not get a job there immediately. But that is just an excuse. I really want to go there and look for greener pastures for my family and my future's sake. Maybe a nice opportunity is waiting for me just around the corner.

I visited migration expert website and took their visa eligibility assessment exams. I did not pass their skilled worker visa test but I was congratulated for passing the temporary work permit visa (yipee!). I didn't go through the rest of the screening process because kasi may bayad na, hekhek.

But I have decided that after I get married in February next year, I'll gonna start preparing the needed documents that will make me arrive in Vancouver. And if things get very well, might as well apply for permanent residency together with mahal. =)
