This post is actually late already. The rainy season started a couple of weeks ago but since it’s the BER months already, I’m expecting more rain. Rain is nice. It’s cool. It’s not so hot. I don’t need to make a makeshift dehumidifier because it’s so hard to breathe in the heat and humidity. The air is humid but at least it’s not so hot (most of the time).
To be honest, I love the rain. It makes the temperature comfortable. But I also hate the rain because it brings floods and what not. Also, I’m currently too lazy to get new shoes so when it rains my socks get wet because my shoes has leaks. Just yesterday rainwater got inside the house. Note: Rain Water. Not water from the streets. Our house has too many leaks that it floods inside.
I went to Trinoma yesterday with Lori to watch a movie. We ended up watching Ninja and there were about less than 10 people in the theater probably. Afterwards we went to Landmark just to window shop. I saw so many clothes and toys and I was soooo tempted to pick them up and look at them just for the heck of it.
But then I had to remind myself over and over again that I am broke.
Broke broke broke.
lol.
AAArrrghhh… !!! *pulls hair*
I know I can easily get a job, if I could get over my laziness.
I officially resigned from my job on March 1, 2010. But before my last day which was on February 28, I had used up all my paid vacation leaves and stopped working a week before.
Scott arrived in the Philippines on March 24. From there, I’ve been traveling with him, going to different countries and places.
March 27, 29: Intramuros
April 1-2: Sagada
April 7-8: Corregidor
April 18-19: Macau
April 19-25: Hong Kong
May 7: Fairview
May 12-27: Malaysia
May 14-16: Singapore
June 10-15: Puerto Princesa and El Nido, Palawan
With all those places and without a steady income, I am officially broke.
Right now both my bank accounts have balances below the maintaining amount, and don’t even ask about my credit card bill.
I wish I had some jewelry like diamonds then I could go ahead and pawn them or sell them or even auction them to have some extra money.
I wish everyone who owed me money would pay up already then I wouldn’t be worrying too much about money.
*screams and pulls out her hair*
This song calms me though.
life goes on
.:. KOKIA .:.
Life goes on
Even if time passes by sadly, even if your heart seems to break
Life goes on
That’s why I have to live strongly even if you’re not here beside me
Even if I don’t wish for tomorrow to come
Life goes on, that’s why I have to live today
Even if I cry my heart out, something starts to change slowly
Life goes on
Just like a wind
These eyes can’t see the beginning or the end, can you see it ?
Just like a wind
These hands can’t grasp the beginning or the end
Life goes on, I’m still here
Life goes on, and my life won’t wait for me
Life goes on
Even if time passes by sadly, even if your heart seems to break
Even if you’re not here beside me
Even if I don’t wish for tomorrow to come
Life goes on…
The song isn’t really how I feel, exactly, but it’s calming and maybe I could think of the “you” as my former job. LoL.
I have no regrets about quitting my job and spending all of my money. This experience beats nothing. I probably won’t ever have the chance to do something this crazy ever again.
So… my long-time online friend has finally visited the Philippines. It was so excited. He kept his age from me for so long and I didn’t know how he looked like. I had to take a guess when he arrived. Good thing my guess was right.
I thought I’d feel shy or something because it was going to be the first time for us to meet ever even if we’ve known each other for years online but amazingly, I only felt kind of shy the first 5 minutes or so of meeting him. After that I felt extremely comfortable with him. It was an awesome feeling of feeling comfortable. It’s hard to explain it.
He’s also not that far off of how I expected him to be. Not that I had low expectations, but it was really just… fine. We talked about a lot of stuff like how we usually do online. He told me about how his blood is kind of healthy because he tried an oximeter before and he got good results considering he’s been smoking for about 12 years.
We also watched some movies. He used to force me to watch movies with him and we’d do synch-watching. I told him he could force me to watch anything now. We watched Tommy Boy and Apollo 13. Darned good movies.
Today we watched a documentary by Michael Moore, Capitalism: A Love Story.
We had dinner with my parents too and I think he’s doing fine. I really got nervous about that like if he’d be too quiet or something, but he’s really a great conversationalist. Now I just have to worry about what to do together for the next 3 weeks before we fly to Hong Kong.
Today I started clearing out one of the storage cabinets on top of the clothes cabinets. It’s mostly papers and readings from my university days. I read through some of the readings and some of my old reflection papers. It amazes me to think… I really wrote this? I feel like at one point I had been amazing too.
While clearing things though I saw this barber’s scissors (I think that’s what they’re called) that looks like a comb and scissors combined so that it can do layering and what not. SO. I played with my hair a bit. A snip snip here, a snip snip there, snip here snip there snip snip everywhere!
That’s what’s fun with short hair… for me anyway. Since I had it made short, I feel like there’s nothing to lose anymore. If I mess it up, I can just have it cut even shorter. But before with long hair, I liked it long and I shall keep it long.
One other nice thing about cleaning is I don’t have to worry about hair loss prevention… I mean… when I had long hair, my hair kept on falling. I seldom comb my hair so maybe that’s one factor… but now I don’t need to worry about my hair being all over the place. Now, if ever there’s a long strand of hair in various places, I could blame my long-haired cousin.
And lastly, with short hair, it’s almost just fine for it to be messy. You can always blame it to style! But if your hair is long, you can look like Sadako if you’re not careful.
Oh yes, this was supposed to be about cleaning, right? …
Ah, I get that whenever i say that I’m not yet done. Of course, who in the world takes DAYS just cleaning? That would be me, because I keep taking “breaks” and doing things unrelated to the matter at hand. I’m just so lazy like that.
Jennie sent me a message today asking me if I wanted to go out tomorrow with our former team lead for lunch. She’s treating because it was her birthday a couple of days ago.
With that in mind, I’m excited! I’m so excited I don’t even want to clean anymore.
Ahh… maybe tomorrow or something. My sleep cycle is whacked too.
This would probably the least productive day in my cleaning. I did clear out most of the junk on the floor, but they’re still there. Because they’re smaller now, it looks messier. And I turned off my PC for almost 24 hours, making me miss some things on my facebook games, which isn’t much of a big deal. I almost forgot to blog too. One thing that got me to keep having the PC off for the whole day was because while cleaning, I kept on putting stuff on the PC desk, on the keyboard eventually, on the mousepad too, even on top of the all-in-one printer. My PC was literally buried in junk, so even if I wanted to turn it on, I couldn’t, because I can’t use it without clearing out the stuff.
I was also on a Skype call with HIMEKA for almost 3 hours which is nice. I love her voice and we talked about deep and meaningful things too, made me think which is something I haven’t been doing much for the last 3 years.
I played Plants VS Zombies and finished it again.
I played my Facebook games.
In the end, I was up for 36 hours or so, because after I turned the PC back on, I was on it. After I turned the PC back on, my room hardly changed. LoL. That’s why I keep the PC off when I know I should focus… but!!! It’s really hard. I turn it off for a day and I stay on it for a day too like I missed it. Unlike turning it off for a few hours, I think I’m more productive that way.
And so the disaster that is me cleaning continues. This is going to be one feat that i will be proud of once i’m done.
Today would actually be day 6 but let me talk about yesterday anyway. I turned off my computer sometime late afternoon so i can concentrate. Until this afternoon my computer is still off. Right now i am blogging using my cellphone.
I’ve mentioned that what i’ve been doing is i’ve been dumping my stuff on the floor. Well almost don’t have any floor anymore. I almost tripped when i woke up and with the kinds of junk i’ve got here, i’ll need to look into life insurance quotes before i can think of falling all over my junk. Well… Time to continue the cleaning saga.
It’s been 2 weeks since my “Permanent Leave” started and I still haven’t tried doing the Apple Juice Colon Cleansing regimen. I’m just too lazy. I did read a colonix review and it sounds effective enough so I’ll look into that… but really, my real ordeal right now is my room. As I’ve said yesterday I’m making progress. I’m probably at 25% already and most of everything is still on the floor. I’ll be working on the cabinets today before I bring down this huge box of more junk.
Nothing much to say yet since I haven’t started for today. My best accomplishment yesterday was I finished watching the anime Yuu Yuu Hakusho! XD
Today I did something so unlike me. I turned off my computer and concentrated on “cleaning” for a couple of hours while listening to SPEED.
Loraine told me that Sarah said that the best way to clean is to take everything outside of your room and then clean and when you’re putting things back, you can decide whether that something should go back or not. Well, I don’t have the space for that since the house is already cluttered as it is (not just my room) so I’m settling on putting everything on the floor. I’m not just making an excuse because right now I’ve just been putting everything on the floor and can’t be bothered to find places where to put them. I think that if I immediately find a place for them to be relocated, I’ll just really end up relocating stuff without really thinking if I should dispose of whatever or not.
But today I’ve made some progress. I cleared out 2 drawers of junk (I have this drawer cabinet that has 5 drawers, the first 2 are for clothes and the last 3 are for junk). I left the clothes drawers alone and the third one was something that I had organized before already so it didn’t need clearing out. I also somehow almost cleared out the bottles and stuff from the top of the drawer cabinet, although I’m just halfway done with that. I found some bottles of phisoderm-like products and other beauty products. Those are currently on my bed as of writing this, but later on I’ll be moving them to the floor because I won’t have any space to put them in storage just yet, although I have an idea already on where to put the “health” products and the “cosmetics”.
My garbage bag is already about half-full. It’s a really huge garbage bag. Maybe 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide unfolded. It’s just an estimate. I’m not good at visual estimation. But one thing for sure! I’ll have a hard time carrying it out.
I’m tired already so I’m just going to finish watching the last few episodes of Yuu Yuu Hakusho and then go to bed. My back hurts as well, which is weird, because I fell on my bum today and not on my back, but there’s this drilling pain on my back whenever I make certain movements. I don’t think I broke a rib or something, but it sure feels like something’s poking my insides.
