Utterly Disappointed

Joshua — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:02:07 +0000

Do you know the feeling of having an ultimate crush for years? Of wishing for him to come to your country and finally if not meet at least see him in the flesh? So when you have learned that he’ll be having a concert here, you did not even think twice and purchased the next highest ticket that you can get which is the VIP. And then the moment that you have been waiting for at last came, his arrival to the country. And since you were sick on that day, you just contented yourself with a video proving that he is truly here. It was just a 30 seconder but it rocked and broke not just your world but your heart as well. When he came down from the plane, he did not even throw a glance to his waiting fans and when he was asked by some of the reporters if how his trip was, he walked even more faster and did not even bother to croak anything to them. What an A-hole! It’s like we owe it to him a great deal that he is here. And on top of that he snubbed his own press conference yesterday and did not even exert an effort to apologize to his disappointed fans and annoyed press but instead chose to continue swimming in the hotel’s pool. If I could just sell my ticket to anyone who would still want to watch him I will but I can’t find anyone because all of them were turned off by his display of arrogance. So I have no choice but to still go and try to enjoy myself even if I’m not happy to be there anymore. Who the hell does he think he is? Justin Timberlake and Usher who are well known all over the world and much more popular than him (way popular) made us feel as if they were truly happy to be here and performed with so much gusto for us. But this ex-idol of mine made us feel like we are just a speck of dust in his eyes. I’ve learned my lesson, I will never ever judge a person by the way he acts infront of the camera because in the end its how he behaves behind it that will matter. What a SNOB!

A Simple Thank You

Before I forget, I just would like to say thank you to whomever it is that invented the application where in your blogs can be incorporated in your gadget. I’m just so very grateful to him/her because I can do all the updating of my blogs right on my fingertips. Especially now that I am sick and I get dizzy so easily by sitting in front of my laptop.

Now, I don’t need to open my lappy anymore to write new posts. All I need is a Wi-Fi connection, my reliable gadget, the application that I have been raving about and I could start blogging away! I’m so very grateful to you!

Mi Marido’s Obra Maestra

Joshua — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:12:04 +0000

Hubby seemed to have found his sweet bone tonight. He made me Cream Dory with Lemon Butter Cream Sauce for dinner. I was feeling guilty that I wasn’t able to cook for them this weekend like I always do because I’m down with flu. But then he made me feel better by cooking for me the most delicious meal that I have ever tasted in my whole life. Well for me that is. Of course, hubby sprinkled it with a lot of TLC that’s why it tasted really good. I’m just so thankful that my husband is not at all shy to show me and the people around us how he takes care of me and how he serves me which is very well by the way. I know that he does things for us not out of obligation but out of love for me and our daughter. I’m just so lucky to have married God’s best for me.

A Real Sweetheart

Three days, that’s how long I have been staying in bed. I am barking like a mad dog and my sniffles have gone worst. Plus I’m very feverish. I don’t know what kind of bug has hit me but whatever it is, it sure hit me hard. I cannot play with Pia like we always do that’s why she brought all her toys in bed so we can still play. As a pretend chef for the day, she made me soup, fish and coffee to pretend eat those of course. She’s a real sweetie. She won’t let me out of her sight. If I attempt to stand up to go to the restroom, she would ask me to lie back down immediately. And I even have to ask permission from her first If I need to get a drink. Pia is just 2 years old but she seemed to have remembered how I take care of her when she’s the one who’s sick and emulated me. I used to scold her too when she was sick and wants to horse around when she was feeling a little better already. So she thought that I’ll do the same. She’s such a cutie! Even offering to take my temperature and get a towel to wipe my forehead and my back. She would sometimes give me a peck on the cheek or just touch my face lovingly. Oh, I just love her so! I’m lucky to have a husband and a daughter who are so loving and caring.

Dream On

Joshua — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:02:25 +0000

Well, just to let you know, I wasn’t successful in dreaming my sickness away a couple of nights ago. I might have a dreamless sleep that’s why. Anyway, I have been away from work for 3 days now and it sucks big time. I’m not saying that I miss work that much but I miss the people that I’m working with. I miss the laughter, camaraderie and the inside jokes. I just miss being with them and having fun while working. You see we do not treat our jobs like work, we see it more as an opportunity to send time together and catch up on each other’s lives. Don’t get me wrong it’s not like we are horsing around there, we are dead serious about the tasks delegated to us but we just relax and take it easy. Whatever difficulty that we are having in the office, we just laugh it off. I really love my team mates. We are more like a big wacky family than colleagues. So whether I’m well or not tomorrow, I will go to work already.

Friday, I’m In Love!

Joshua — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:58:07 +0000

My birthday is every 8th of the month of April and I only get to celebrate it every other year because it always falls on one of the Holy days in Holy Week. It’s really awkward that I will be celebrating while the entire Nation is praying and meditating during this week that’s why I have decided to just celebrate it every other year. But do you know that there is a kind of Black Friday that I really look forward to? And that is the Black Friday sale! Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the USA and falls on the Friday after the fourth Thursday in November. It’s a no work day and this is when people do their early Christmas shopping as shops and retail stores offer unbelievably great discounts on all of their items! I get so hyped up just by thinking about it. I guess I have to give my BFF in the US a call one of these days to remind her the stuffs on my list that she has to buy for me come November 26. She’s gonna be one busy bee on that day. Good thing she really loves me.

Turning Korean

Joshua — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:21:49 +0000

My good friend and colleague Caren once told me her plan of venturing in an online business. She said that this is an era where in everything can be purchased online so why not join the bandwagon and jump in it. I say it’s a good idea especially that we have a lot of officemates who love to buy any thingamajigs. They love clothes, accessories, cosmetics, food, beddings and even gift certificates. But she thinks of concentrating first on wholesale lots of Korean clothes. Korean clothes are very affordable but hip and funky. And a lot of people including me really like their fashion sense. They are one of the most fashionable races for me. She already ordered online and just waiting for her items. I promised to help her sell the clothes by buying most of it, ha! ha! Of course she offered me a discount for buying wholesale. So how can a Korean fashion addict like me say no to that kind of offer, huh? I guess I can’t.

Just a Short One

Joshua — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:38:32 +0000

I had an extremely tiring day at the office so I’ll just make this short. I’m not feeling well too. I have a runny nose, dry cough and hard, sticky phlegm. My throat itches like crazy as well! I feel like I’m coming down with something because I’m quite feverish now. I went to our clinic to ask for medicines early this afternoon and the doctor said that my throat is quite inflamed. She gave me tons of medicines to ingest. Maybe that’s the reason that I feel sleepy and dizzy. On top of all of these I’ve got pain in my stomach also. This has been a bad day for me, physically speaking. I hope that when I go to sleep tonight, I’ll dream all the aches away.

On Dreaming Big

Joshua — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:17:32 +0000

I really envy my good friend S. Despite having a delicate disease she still followed her dream into having a health care career. I’m really so proud of her. She did not let it be a deterrent in pursuing what she really wants to be, a nurse. She has been long resigned from our office but there are times that I still look at her empty chair and imagine her laughing at our inside jokes. I really miss her a lot because we seldom see each other anymore. But in my heart, I’m really happy that she dreamt big and that she’s where she is right now.

Sweet Treats

Joshua — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:12:23 +0000

I just drink protein shake for breakfast. No of course not I’m not dieting, I’ve got a perfect 10 body so what do I need that for? Ha! Yeah, right! Okay, okay you win. I am dieting and I’m beginning to lose hope already because I don’t know why I keep adding on extra pounds when I nearly starve myself already. I just hate it that the flabs seem so stubborn and do not want to budge even if I don’t eat much. It’s either that or my weighing scale is broken again. I have changed it 3 times already because I get heavier and heavier every time I step on it. Some are just gifted. That even if they eat like an eating machine (huh?) they don’t gain a single pound. So I was quite used to my routine of shake in the morning, vegetable and lean meat for lunch (no rice) and another protein shake at dinner. So on my way to the office, my mind was already made up to stick to this routine until Purple Yam Ensaimada and Bavarian Cream happened!

My good friend Peter Lyle bought me these for breakfast. I was so touched with his gesture that I began drooling when I saw what he has for me. These two might looked just like your regular breads that can be bought from a common bakery but I am telling you, there is nothing ordinary with its taste! It’s so heavenly! Especially the cream inside the Bavarian, it’s so gooey and oh so tasty! I feel hungry just by writing about it. Thank you Peter Lyle! Such sweet treats from a real sweetie like you.
