Okay, I know I haven’t post much about what has been happening around my little world, so I’m dedicating this post for any updates that I want to share. *yes – ANY updates, meaning it’s M-I-X-E-D, no specific topic whatsoever. * Ready? Here goes nothing…

==== WORK ====

I still have shift being a chat agent, and I still have to wait for any messaging from the upper peeps, especially from our operations manager for us (yes I’m not the only one who got the job :cute:) to be pulled out. We are actually excited to start the job and we are hoping that we could start soon. :yes: Others told me that it may take few weeks… I’m not really in a hurry or something, just excited.

Also, for the first time in my whole entire career life, I had to call in sick not because I was dead sick, but I just needed to sleep… Lazy? Not really. Here’s the story:

I filed for a 2 day vacation leave for my baby’s birthday, but was declined… So I thought of waiting for my rest days instead (which usually are 2 consecutive days) to do the birthday party, but to my amaze, command center (or whoever is in charge of scheduling and manning) gave me a freaking split off (Sunday and Wednesday), so I had no choice but to absent myself from work after my baby Julie’s party since I didn’t experience any sleep after work…  Look at it this way… the routine would be: work from 10pm to 7am – go home to help out with the preparations – party which was around 4pm onwards – then work, that’ll definitely make me a walking zombie. So I opted to skip work for the first time and had my rest. I guess there always is a first time for everything…

Confession: Absent is a drug and is undeniably addicting. Good thing I only used it once and will never use it again unless necessary.

Thanks to FaceBook, I got to know the latest buzz about the work place too. 2 of my girl office mates are expecting their babies, and 2 of my guy office mates are expecting their babies too! Yep they are 2 pair of couples. Congrats to you guys! :cheer: Somehow, I’m a bit jealous. LOL!

==== BABY JULIE ====

As you all may already know, Julie turned 2 last July 14, 2009… You may have guessed that her name was derived from her month of birth – yes you’re right, and just for an added info, her second name “Rayne” came from the word “rain” which literally means rain. It was actually raining when I was in labor so I guess that would be self-explanatory.

We basically used up all our limited savings for the party and although it was fun, honestly, I kinda felt that it was not worth the money spent. There were lots of left-overs which were either given out after the party, while some are actually still stored in our ref. Also, most guests were, well, not our close friends, most of them were my mom’s workers which I was glad to serve food to since they have helped out me and my mom a lot during the past years and counting, but one of the most disappointing thing was only one out of eight godparents came, some were busy due to work (which were understandable) while some didn’t even contacted me on why they couldn’t come… and worst of all, they were my best friends. Huh! Yeah, I guess I’m still holding grudges against them… :no:

Oh how time flies by, and I just can’t believe that my baby’s 2 now. It feels like it was just yesterday when I had her inside me and now she’s running around the house screaming with just her undies. RAWR! She’s starting to transform into the “Terrible Two” that most mommies are dreading. *sigh* And just few years more, she will be starting school and the more I’ll feel uncomfortable leaving her.

==== ONLINE LIFE ====

As hectic as work as can be, we agents still find time to connect and have fun via Facebook. Currently, I’m VERY addicted to 3 applications (games actually) – Farm Town, Farm Ville, and Restaurant City. I’m doing some ingredient trading as of the moment. I’m gonna do a separate post on what ingredients I have and what ingredients I need.

So there! That’s my not-too-long update. Thanks for stopping by and reading. :cheer:

got the picture from our friendster’s profile, can you find me???

I was checking on my old photo albums and was amazed to see myself and the other girls wearing formal dresses / gowns (of course I was wearing a light violet, haltered dress, which my mom and I bought near Quiapo, as we didn’t have money to invest on a grand dress), and the boys each wearing different types of tuxedo for our prom night…

Honestly, it was not something that was worth remembering really, as I never stayed long during the said event. It was more of a come-and-go to me, didn’t quite enjoy it much as well. I went there to have a sample of the food served (which was paid for and I wouldn’t want it to go to waste either LOL!) I know that a lot of teenagers have been waiting for prom nights, but as sour-graping as it may seems, it will never be fun without your true friends around, agree? Granted I was with my best girl bud during our prom night, but we were both the “shy-type” and would rather go eat outside and have fun away from the toxicating environment (no offense intended). I even remembered that one of my friends asked me for a dance through an SMS (how… sweet?), I agreed at first, but decided to decline afterwards (I know, I know, it was rude) since we did ditch the prom eventually. We went to Glorietta 4 and grabbed something to eat (forgot what it was though). I guess I had more fun with her than being on the prom itself.

Anyway, I guess I just had a different experience of prom… How about you? I want to know yours!

Here are few pictures I took during my mom’s birthday:

That’s my mom!

And those are the yummy foods that my mom prepared for the guests.

==================================================

A really sad event happened during my mom’s birthday though… My aunt (my mom’s cousin) passed away… May she rest in peace.

It’s my mom’s birthday today, and she’s 64 years old. Although she does not know anything about computer, nor blogging for that matter, I would like to announce to the world that even though how much I hated her, I will always love her no matter what. Ironic isn’t it? But I know each and everyone of you feels the same way for their parents.

We’ll be celebrating her birthday the usual family way, our family’s way — HANDAAN! My mom invited her cousins before and we are hoping that they will come. Of course, right now, I don’t have the pictures with me yet, but I’ll be editing this post right after I take some photos of our small family feast.

Anyway, happy 64th birthday Mama! May you have more birthdays to come! I love you.

My mom’s currently doing some minor renovation on our lodging houses’ rooms, walls, paints, bathroom sinks etc, for maintenance reasons. The good thing is that the business would look new, but one of the downside is the cost, which is the main risk in a business. Luckily, my mom’s a business minded person and is someone who knows where to find money for us. I should really be like her for my baby Julie’s sake, but unfortunately, I’m a bit of a shy-type person trying hard to be a not-so-shy-type person, which honestly, is a tedious thing for me, but I think I’ll get used to it someday.

I’m starting to eat a lot and often! This is something that most figure-conscious women would dread about. Honestly, and I’m starting to think that I should be condemned for being a gluttonous person, but I’m thinking of looking for the best diet pills that I can take to start reducing weight fast. Ever since I labored, I always felt different – short term memory loss, decreased metabolism, easily distracted, etc. I’m not sure if this is due to the medicines that I took when I was on my recovery stage after the labor, but I definitely know and could feel that there were a lot of changes internally…

Does any of you moms out there felt the same way?
