randomness yet again

1. lately i find myself writing about a myriad of topics. siguro kasi there are a lot more things on my mind, and a lot more things that i enjoy sharing.

2. chores can be fun! i missed yesterday's speed-walk and my sister teena, thankfully, reminded me that it was my turn to, uh, make lampaso. so there. lampaso-ing is a nice substitute for exercise.

3. been thinking about the team reshuffling, a.k.a. all of the agents in our account being re-assigned to different teams. i was majorly "bonding" with my current teammates earlier today. i'm really gonna be missing them like heck.

4. i don't know how to use friendster anymore! for the longest time i was trying to figure out how to upload photos innit! hahaha! i've gotten so much used to multiply na kasi. what fun.

5. the past really can be funny.

things to be thankful for

1. exercise! this morning i speed-walked at the ball court behind our house for ONE HOUR. whew! best part is, i got a dose of morning sun and fresh air! panalo.  i am so thankful my left ankle is so much better!

2. lessons! in terms of the relationship department. and i quote from one of the people dearest to me, "a relationship is not a one-way street." simple as that.

3. daddy! got to meet up with my dad earlier this week. dad and i hardly see each other now that he lives in baguio, but he made baba (sorry i don't know how to english this ) for business. daddy lent me a book and some strawberry jam. funny how dad still calls me "little girl" at twenty-two years of age. hehehe

4. grace at the workplace! somehow my job isn't as BAD as i initially thought it was. i've been whining about it incessantly for the past few months, and somehow i've begun to appreciate it! i remember what Paul said: "i have learned to be content whatever the circumstances...i can do everything through Him who gives me strength." o di ba?  sometimes i find it difficult to detach myself from discomforts that plague me, but at the end of the day it's bestest to just smile and be thankful.

5. fellowship! many of you guys, my friends, are just wonderful! i love you!

6. multiply back on convergys IT! yaheeeeey! wala lang.

7. the talents inC arts & media summit! which was held last monday and i honestly had no idea that such an event was happening that day! napadaan lang ako, literally. and i so loved, enjoyed, and learned from it.

 

i am so looking forward to another great week!

you could stand under my umbrella, ella, ella...(repeat)

me time

monday, tuesday, and wednesday post-shift afternoons i hold real important because it's only then that i have "me time." i usually lose myself in whatever "me time" thing/s i do during those days.

"me time" activities include:

1. losing myself in a bookstore. bawal ang kasama, sorry! reading time is really important for me.
2. watching multiple episodes of whatever my current favorite TV series/movie is (as of this writing, CSI NY!)
3. folding and re-folding laundry--hehe
4. walk-jogging. i have an exercise routine again! yaaaay!
5. writing

we just had a change of schedule (again.. five schedule changes in one year! such is the life of a call center agent), and at first i didn't like the new sched because i THOUGHT i was gonna miss a lot of activities, but hey... i actually am resting better now, not to mention figuring out what makes me tick and stuff. enjoying the company of me.

haaaay... ang saya saya ng buhay talaga! tenkyu Lord!

i miss multiplying

the IT authorities in our office have officially banned multiply from the PC in the pantry, which is why i've been updating and logging in real less. which i think is a good thing; at least i would be less less less tempted to go beyond my break hours surfing away. yay God!

fortunately i have a twitter account, so it's gonna be more updated than my blog here. and it's sooo super fun! click me!

right now i am super into CSI: NY. i've always been a forensics fan since i was in sixth grade. add new york, one of my dream cities to visit, in the equation, and boom!

it just dawned on me too.. i'm a fan of mysteries. i poured myself into nancy drew and bobbsey twins books growing up. and maybe if i was into sherlock holmes i woulda liked him too. i like house MD. one of my favorite movies is the cabinet of dr. caligari. et cetera. i always liked figuring things out. asking the whys and whatnot. i'm just a really curious sort, the one who asks too many questions

it's been a great day, week, month. it's a great life!
