Another Decade Starts

You know the drill, here's my birthday post!

1. I realized the older I get I like to stay home more. Serious. 

2. As if the TV gods heard my prayers, McGyver is back on. You've seen it right?

3. Migraines are getting worse. Add high blood pressure. I. Am. Getting. Old. 

4. Who said I cannot cook? This year my bellychon is super hit! Hell yeah!

5. My favorite name lately is NOT Kanye. Hahahaha. 

6. There's gotta be a better song out there I can make my fave to replace Ocean Deep. You can laugh, it's alright. 

7. Why are there still people who thinks that being "sosyal" means not laughing loud? Seriously, move on. There's this person I know who is such a snotty one I can't even. You think? Get off your high horse. 

8. Rice is my meal. I can't think of any other. 

9. Sounds so cliche but damn, no commute to work is so refreshing. 

10. I still hate dandruff and I still love Pottery Barn. And yeah, I put those two in one sentence. 

11. I went yard sale-Ing and saw the most extensive collection of Barbra Streisand CD collection. I was first but there is this lady who was so passionate of BS, she knew all the songs in every album even reciting which ones were released as singles. Yes, you got it, I let her buy it. You see, sometimes life is about sharing. 

12. Writing this random stuff on my birthday is such a stress reliever. But I don't know why I am getting tired writing up to my age, it's getting too long. Yes, I am old. 

13. No matter what setting, these are the same kind of people I meet, really dumb,know-it-all, vested interest only, no emotions whatsoever. The fifth? Someone like me-- clutter brain. Somehow all these personalities come together in my distorted world. 

14. I don't know what to do if my job is to drive shuttle bus. Back and forth. Going and coming. 

15. I am officially a make-up hoarder. I don't use often sometimes I even go barefaced. But I buy. A lot. As in. 

16. I can't pronounce most words in the English language. At least I can write well. Your vs you're. Then vs than. 

17. I thought it was a joke when people were supporting Trump and suddenly he is an option. Dang America! What happened? Just kidding, go for whoever you want. That's the essence of being American. But seriously? 😜

18. There is always room for ice cream. 

19. I have been such a blog slacker. I have so many things and pvitures to share. 

20. The more successful people are, the more humble they are. At least in my circle. 

21. Sometimes I edit my photos and most times I don't. One thing I never do, pause and think of what others think of my social media post. I could care less. 

22. This year I met so many incrdible people. People who would message me about the kids, just to say hello or thumbs up on my FACEBOOK posts. Regardless, in some way way or another, you touched my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

23. I'm still a hopeless romantic. 

24. I really should sleep earlier. 

25. And I should really watch my diet and lose weight. 

26. I have no consideration or compassion to people who thinks everyone is beneath them. Really? Who are you?

27. Yes you have a big house and a lot of money, no one even wants to be with you. At all. What gives? 

28. I'm still slow in Math. Ask Fridah. 

29. When I was shown how much my 2017 departmental budget to manage is, I was like, " whoaaaa, that much?"  

30. I made more money working as a medical technologist than now. #truth. But I don't have to work weekends and holidays. For the love of family and friends. And yes, coz I am lazy. 

31. Remember I told you my dream vacation would be SanFo, Thailand and Spain? Haven't been to any of them. I know I am hopeless.
32. Considering that you and I are mere mortals, we should all get along. What's so hared about that.
33. I think my fave season is now Fall. I think.
34. Instagram rules.
35. Wendy's twitter account is awesome.
36. I still love Tina Tagle, Cecil van Straten and MarketManila.
37. I am still loud so if you are pasosy, dont be friends with me. I don't like you either. tse, heheheh.
38. I haven't been to MAcy's for a very long time. That's good. That store is so disorganized.
39. I have the best friends and family I can always lean on.
40.My vocabulary has expanded to include the Sarcasm language. In fact I have mastered it the most, surpassing my fluency in Tagalog.
41. And yes my friends---- you either love me or hate me. Regardless, we are just specks in this big wide world. Let's be happy, shall we?

Get Back to Blogging Ma!

So I know I have not blogged for a very long time. I think I should be kicked out of the blogosphere. 😜

Today, while having lunch, the kids asked me to go back to blogging. 

KC: mom, you should blog again. 

Josh: yes, my friends read your blog. 

Me: really?

Both: they all think you're  funny. 

Me: but I'm funny. But is that good? Wait, you serious?

KC: yes Ma. 

Me: ok. I'll blog again. Let me video you eating. 

Josh: and caption it, "me eating alone on VDay." 

KC: Ma no! They like it when you write coz it's funny. You have a way of writing funny. 

Me: wait, they're serious I write funny? I think I'm offended. 

KC: no Ma, they really do like it and they read all they way back and now that you're not blogging, they are looking for it. 

So here, I blogged. Hahahahaha. Before that though, Josh asked me to send him the photo I took of the lunch he cooked for us--- pan grilled chicken on spaghetti and garlic alfredo sauce. In short, chicken alfredo. Bakit ba, I like to be pasosy eh. 😜😜😜. Kc asked why he still needs it as I can just tag him as we are FB friends. Wait, did you know that? That I'm FB friends with Josh? Hahahahah. Josh quips, " yes but my friends look at Mom's and that's it, I get no likes." Wahahahhaah. "and by the way Ma, we talked about this already, stop #mybunso already." Ha? Why? I like it. " But my friends say Bun like the bun, bread." 

Here's our lunch by the way. 

So this might just start my blogging mojo back. 

Happy Sunday my loves. Hug your kids and kiss your husband--- or wife or boyfriend or girlfriend. Just love. 

Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a wonderful day and keep smiling!

Eclipse 2017, not about the Eclipse

Please do not ask me where I have been. Also, I am not crazy with the eclipse. I just wanted to reactivate my blogging and the more i PROCRASTINATE coz I have a lot to catch on, the more I am buried, so i figured I can just start today hoping the eclipse would "energize" me.

Anyway, Pherry is going back to school soon and he will be a sophomore! Unbelievable. He picked up Fencing in college. Pherry started basketball, he didn't like it, partially coz of Chris. Chris is a little too pushy and hardcore when it comes to sports. Then he did chess, that he liked but he never really got to it. He also did table tennis, which he plays once in a while. Did you know he plays the ukelele?

KC and I are busy prepping for her debutante's ball. Actually, she is upstairs creating an iMovie for her "save the date". KC will be very busy this school year as she was elected Class President of the Juniors. I am so excited for her. She did all her campaigning on her own, not a single help from us---she made her own speech and all that. So proud of this young lady.

Josh? My baby Josh is going to be a freshman this Fall. How did this ever happen? How?  In fact, he just finished his 3-day intro to ROTC. In connection to that, he will not be going to Quincy Highschool like Pheery and KC. Instead, he is attending North Quincy High. Why, i don't know. i think he just wants to be different from the two.

Mr. Hubbs, aka Chris is doing really good.  He is crazy working night shift but it works for him, so i let him be. I prodded him many times over to go back to dayshift. We both go at the shooting range once in a while but we have not been, as we got so busy with family.

Me? I changed jobs. In fact, I'd be celebrating my one year anniversary this week at this new job. It's doing well---albeit a few hiccups, as any other job is. The good thing is, I REALLY LOVE WHAT I DO, so any shitty stuff, I can take. The great thing is --- my co-supervisors are awesome! My bag collection? I have not purchased any major stuff for 2 years now --- until we went to Montreal this month. I bough a crocodile!!!!! I now have a rabbit, a snake and a crocodile in my closet.

What else can I tell you? The restaurant scene in my city is booming. We have been busy exploring but it gets to be expensive. Oh, wait. I went to do a mystery shopping kind of thing and I got paid a whopping----$12.00. Hahahhaha. Hey, its lunch money.

I miss my friends. I visited family this month but my friends and I have not been together for weeks now.

I am helping plan a Filipino Food Fest. i'll let you know when that happens.

Now more than ever, I appreciate my parents for sending us to college on their own, without loans or dole outs. I only have Pherry and it has been extremely difficult with us financially. I can only imagine my parents who sent all of us ( 10), at times, three at a time! What makes it even more admirable is that my parents both do  not even have education whatsoever. If my dad is to be believed, he said he only reached 6th grade. But he was such a good businessman--- a humane businessman. MAybe, that's where Pherry and Josh got their math wizards? No? My mom was a great orator and for a very long time, a public servant. Yes, not a politician but a public servant. Maybe, that is why KC is good at campaigning? No?

It's been a wonderful summer here in Boston. We spent 2 weeks in Montreal. Oh, I have a lot of memories to share to you about that.

My health is not doing well. I have been gaining weight lately so I am working on making some changes. Today, I activated my activity and sleep tracker. I synced it with my iPhone  and set 8 hours sleep monitoring and 10,000 steps. Hopefully I can really be on top of this. Please let me know on your comments below, how you keep healthy.

We bought PCs for KC and one for Chris and me to use. Hoepfully that will help with my blogging. LOL.

I think that is all for now. Keep smiling and let your loved ones know you love them. Be affectionate.
