I don’t really like my theme right now. You know, that purple butterly staring at you.I chose this last week to remind me of Digory…my gay Macbook. He was ‘confined’ at the ‘hospital’ for more than a week. I felt PAIN and disappointment because I had to use the desktop instead to work. But glad to have him with me now. š
And anyway, I shrieked when I saw this particular theme because my laptop’s cover bear the same image! Exacto!
Working at home also has its downsides. Iāve been staying at home for more than 2 months and am now used to sleeping and waking up late after 12 hours of sleep(everyday!) . Plus washing the dishes, doing the laundry, sometimes ironing the clothes, going to the grocery, and the likes. I do all these things while workingā¦.freelance. I know I am blessed to have this kind of jobā¦you know, a job that allows me to do other things at the same time, receive visitors anytime, sleep whenever I want to, and get paidā¦more than what I was being paid in my previous company. But sometimes, I think that Iām missing out on a lot of things.
The downsides? Here :
> No officemates – I donāt have one. I have a boss but I donāt get to see him since heās abroad. We talk only once a week. I chat with his wife everyday, the manager, but thatās just about it.
> No aircon – We donāt have air conditioning at home so all electric fans in the house are busy.
> No physical activity for me – because I no longer travel to workā¦physical activities are only limited to cleaning the house and doing the laundry
> No benefits – No SSS. No Philhealth. ..etc. But no tax! Haha.
> I donāt get to wear any nice clothes. 
This for me makes me sadder than the first items. I still keep on shopping for clothes but I just realized that I donāt get to wear them anymore. I am always in my pambahay clothes. I donāt wear shoes..always slippers. So just yesterday, I decided to bring out my Havies and use them everyday. Iām wearing a pair of brown top now..tomorrow that orange Cartunista.
A friend told me to wear office clothes for a change. Haha. Iād love to but I wonāt because it is just so warm nowadays..way hottah than during summer I think. But on my birthday, I swear Iām gonna wear a dress!
But more than these, working at home has more benefitsā¦obviously. For one, I am spared from traffic. Even if my previous office was only a 15-minute drive from my place, my workplace now is way better. I sometimes work in my room, my parentsā room, the living room, or sometimes in the kitchen! Thanks to wifi and my trusty MacBook.
I can sleep whenever I want. Of course, I need to be seen online but thereās always the YM buzz and the phone call. Hehe.
I am always with the people I love.:)
I can always have my special visitor at homeā¦(read: boyfriend)
I can watch TV while working.
ETC.ETC.ETC!
And oh, I can work in my jammies. Hihi. 
Remember my Promise to Hate post? You guessed it right? I broke it. A week after I wrote that post, I entered Mango at PPlant. Why and how? I was only supposed to buy grocery but my eyes grew bigger (literally) when I saw that BIG red SALE sign. I went inside, looked around, grabbed a blouse, and did not buy. Haha. There were too many girls at the counter..too eager to bring home their goods. Besides, it’s nearing closing time so I just went on to the supermarket. But lo and behold, last Sunday, I did not pass up the chance to visit Mango at Shang. I was with Joshie so I did not look around much, just bought a blouse. And when I went to Shangrila again to have Digory(the MacBook) checked, I got depressed that the store had to pull it/him out and take him to the “hospital”. I was depressed that I had to go shopping again! Haha. What a very nice excuse. And I was mad at Joshie…double depression. So what’s a girl’s perfect cure for depression? Shopping! I did not spend “much”. I just bought a new pair of flats,a dress which I’m gonna wear for my birthday, 4 new tops, and a new pair of slim-fit jeans. But when I told boyfriend, he again pleaded me to just stop and save. But I told him I was depressed and it’s gonna be my birthday in 2 weeks, sale naman, and etc. Haha! And just when I thought that my shopping spree was over, I went inside Zara and braved the bevy of women diving into a sea of overpriced clothes and shoes. I bought just one item..a dress which I so luuuurv. Buti na lang it’s payday so I was able to buy it. Haha. And of course, Joshie got a little disappointed again..but smiled when he saw the dress on me. Teehee.
I was browsing through my old blog an found this supah-mushy entry. So shoot me.
WARNING: Extreme Mushiness Ahead
DATE WRITTEN : January 8, 2006
ORIGINAL LOCATION : http://www.blueberry010.motime.com/?from=7
This day last year, two hearts became officially one. Not in marriage but in a spoken and written commitment that they will forever love one another under the influence of their Matchmaker.
The girl went to the guyās university and surprised him. The guy, still a student, had no idea what the girl he loves was doing there. She told him she went to her alma mater to get some stuff so she decided to drop by his.
And so they went to the parking lot because the guy was so hungry and wanted to have lunch right away. But the girl stopped her love from turning the car keys, handed him the card she wrote the other night, prayed, and cried over.
Her heart was beating so hard she could have fainted. She was wearing a yellow top that dayā¦deliberately..because she insists she is the Yellow character in Trina Paulusā story and her beloved, Stripe.
The guy opened the card and read it slowlyā¦heart also beating fast. He almost cried when he finally saw the words, āAnd now, you can finally tell the world..that your bestfriend is now your girlfriend.ā He looked up and saw her showing something that says āyesā. He couldnāt believe what he just heard. The guy kept on asking the girl but the girl was just smilingā¦.almost crying. They held hands and promised love for each other.
They went off to have their lunch in some restaurant. They prayed to God and thanked Him for what Heās doing and still going to do. Theyāve known each other since they were kids, been bestfriends for years, and now official and can publicly say that, āyes, there is Josh and Reah.ā
One year later,Ā a lot has happened already. Theyāve hurt each other many times, a handful of breaking-up threats, dozens of movie dates, thousands spent, shed buckets of tears, and moreā¦but still, their undying love for each other just grows into His glory everyday.
Josh and Reah may never be the perfect couple in this lifetime but they are striving to become righteous because of their love for the Father, their families, friends, and their future. They believe that indeed, True Love Waits. That as they possibly took things in stride before there became a ātheyāā¦Yellow and Stripe will also wait in God’s perfect timing before theyĀ become oneā¦and two separate beautiful butterfliesā¦flying high under the heavens.
—> Yuck! Please forgive me. Haha.

–> HILARIOUS!! what was I thinking? Calling myself Princess. Gawd. Oh yeah. It was during those times that Joshie was calling me Princess. Haha. Buking. Ano ba yan!
The last time I stepped on ice was more than 2 years ago with Sharm and Karen. I don’t remember much of that last two hours. All I could remember was I was perspiring despite the coolness inside the rink.
Last time I checked, my unused ice skating shoes were dirty. How I wish I can wear ’em again and glide on ice.
I’ve just seen Stars on Ice on TV and felt envious of the contestants. When Megamall first opened the skating rink for public use, I remember bugging my parents to enrol me in skating lessons. But it was too expensive then, so i just accepted the fact that I can’t and convinced myself that I can never be like them pretty girls and boys on ice.
But what do you know…I took lessons when I entered college. Haha! Good thing Megamall Ice Skating Rink opened its doors to UP students. Yes…I took ICE SKATING as my PE. I took two levels. For 2 sems, I was enjoying my time in ice every week. Once…even thrice a week. And sometimes, I’d be on ice for 5 straight hours!
I have my own ice skating shoes.I still have the pair with me. I once thought of selling them when I was broke but I didn’t for sentimental reasons. It was mine and I don’t want anyone beside me to use it…(damot no?).
And believe it or not, if only I accepted one of the coaches’ offer to join the Women’s Hockey team..I’d be one tough hockey player by now..just like Sharm. Teehee. I forgot the name of the coach, but he approached me casually if I wanted to join. It was only then that the skatingĀ management was forming a women’s team and he noticed me. Was I that good? I don’t know. Maybe he saw how much time I spent there, with the shoes and all..or maybe the fact that I’ve been spending much time and money there. So what happened? I didn’t join because of the expenses. Training was free but I had to buy my own gears. Imagine that? New pair of hockey shoes? The sticks? Helmet…etc. I knew then that we couldn’t afford that. Haha. But if we could…maybe just maybe….
I miss my time on ice. I don’t know how much 2 hours on ice would now cost me. I’d like to try the rink on MOA. I’ve been asking Josh to try it with me but he doesn’t want to. I asked my brother but he doesn’t want to go with me. Pffft.
I don”t know when’ll be the next time I’d feel the cool wind on my face…glide…then fall. Do the turns…and the super low jumps I can do. I don’t even remember how to do them. I guess..it’s only when I step on ice that I’d be able to remember what I know.
So..sino gusto sumama sa kin? š
My birthday is in July but I’m gonna post from time to time the things i want for my bday. On top of my list is this :
Kahit na pangit celfone ko…basta madami akong watch! Haha!
I just finished my last slice for the night.
Because my loneliness came with extreme craving for pizza, I decided to order again from Pizza Hut. Finally! Lsst week, I tried ordering online but didn’t receive a return call from any of their representatives so I called 8-McDo instead. My brother dared me that I won’t buy tonight but since the kids were excited when I told them I’m gonna order …I called 9111111 and ordered one family size Cheesy Bacon and a bottle of Pepsi plus the free Pepperoni Pizza. I have to make use of the PalmCard before it expires. :p
So good..that I forgot that I have work to do and am way past my deadline.
Pfffft.
One of these days, I’m gonna sue every pizza company in the Philippines because of their effects on me and my family. Ha!
