In case… just in case you wonder how our Town Fiesta celebration went since I’ve been very vocal about it in my blogs… well, it was a blast!

Successful! As we expected, a lot of people came – friends, relatives and there were even people whom I don’t know personally but Mama still did welcome them anyway. That’s what Filipino Fiesta is.

I treated all the girls out to a carnival after lunch for some rides and then we went shopping after. It wasn’t really an ideal time to take them around along with the thick crowd but kids are kids. They always want what they want. I also didn’t want to spoil the day so even if it was so tiring already in my part, I still gave in to their request… just so to complete their own innocent version of celebrating the occasion as well.

At around 6 in the evening, the environment already started to calm down although there were still few people left (boys in particular having their drinking spree) but that didn’t stop me from locking myself up for a nap. My body feels like I was beaten to death that day. Oh well, it was over, anyway.

But what took me so long to post an update? Well, that’s going to be what my next entry is all about. :D

it’s drawing near!

Today is Wednesday. Three more days and we’re going to celebrate our town fiesta once again. It’s going to be an exciting event and the preparation should be reason enough for me to be glad although I know it’s going to be a strenuous one.

Each of us has assigned task. Mine will be the marketing and though Mom already hired one cook, I will still be helping in food preparation especially that there are some recipes that I want to do myself. We also hired one dishwasher because I don’t think I still wanted to do bunch of dishes after the feast. That will be too much for me to handle.

It’s market day tomorrow so I may start shopping as well.  I hate when in the crowd so I better get myself there early if I didn’t want caught by mass shoppers.

Sigh! Wish I didn’t have to do it… but I have to and I better do it right!

torn

This day got me so emotionally mixed up.  I don’t know if I really need to feel bad or to just be happy with whatever is going on with my life.

I mean what I wrote in my last entry below. I needed the job for every reasons there is I can think of (to feel good about myself, to pay my own way including my needs and wants without necessitating my self too much to feel bad over something I can’t get, and perhaps to save for the future as I can).

But just as I have gathered my thoughts together, some surprising  news came along. It was  from JK telling that he may finally make it towards the end quarter of the year -  October to be exact and hopefully nothing more will come in the way. That news really made me want to cry out of my heart’s exaltation but a part of my mind refuse to celebrate yet until I receive feedback about the status of my recent job application.


To cut the story short, I didn’t want the idea of him coming over while I will be at work (granting I’ll be hired) and not able to spend quality time with him. So with my eagerness to find things out as quick as I can, I made an immediate follow up of my application and again to make the story short, it didn’t turn out very well. What can you expect from a Filipino government and their employment system, anyway?  Although we’re not told that we’re totally out of chance but I somehow feel and see where the whole thing’s  heading.

So that’s it! I walked home all torn. Should I really be happy? I should have. After all, I’ve been waiting for this moment for nearly three years to come. So I can at least assume now that I can be there for him when he comes over. But why do I still feel disappointed? I truly was and I hope I can just get past it. Well, maybe in time. Or better yet, believe and have faith for what God has planned for me.

my new priority

Having a job has become my new priority these days especially after I put it aside for years over certain plans that didn’t really went well. Although I don’t want to let go but I also realize it is now time to just let things happen too as it comes instead of making my self believe for the impossible at the moment.

The transition of the new administration has just taken place and somehow we see some light from our new local leaders that we have today. With that my friend and I thought of trying our luck for a government position. It’s not my first time for the year. So I didn’t get lucky from my previous applications but I’m keeping my hopes high for my next attempts and the last I did was on Tuesday. Thankfully an interview was immediately granted to both of us on the following day.

I feel somewhat accomplished that day. For once in the longest time I’ve done something rational other than just sitting around all day if not wasting  time on senseless matters.

It may take some time but I want to remain optimistic on the possible results for this attempt. I hope it’ll turn favorable for us this time.

from happy to grumpy

Slept and woke up late today. Mom is out to attend a two-day seminar in the city so I got more reason to stay home and keep my sister Thea and the kids company especially at night. But last night we chose not to sleep and instead play our favorite card games until five this morning. We only had coffee and of course chips and crackers to keep us awake. My niece Bernadeth didn’t make it as late as we did. She passed out after midnight. I know not a healthy sleeping time for a school girl like her but we sure only do it and allow her to stay up late during weekends. Not as often even.

So anyway, the morning came and so is the time of the month. Such a crazy way to greet the day! From happy now I feel so grumpy. But no I don’t want to take it out to no one so I just decided to go back to sleep after I took lunch, my first meal for the day which I wouldn’t have had if not for my niece, MJ who woke me up.

It’s past five in the afternoon. I thought it’s already a brand new day when I opened my eyes and rose from bed. I took a shower to freshen up and ate dinner after. Wow, what a feeling it was! I feel like I been from an all night drinking session. But I swear I wasn’t. If I were to drink, it is more likely just by my self which I so rarely do if not with a group like my cousins on a certain occasion.

Although, I would have loved to drink too last night but there’s nowhere near to get the kind of drink that we want. We don’t live in the city where some stores are 24 hours open. Besides we can’t just leave the kids alone just to get what we want.

not so boring day

Watching tv, listening to music and doing my finger/toenails were all I find interesting today. Although my day started right still I knew it’s not gonna last. Obviously blogging is not on the list. I tried squeezing my brain to write something after doing my nails but still nothing wants to come out.

And then from the city brother came home with a new iPod. He brought us burgers and fries too. Ah! That somehow filled my cravings. I gotta eat first of course because I know he’s going to ask me later to fill his new gadget with his favorite songs. Again, instead of working on a post, I ended up watching the local primetime series while downloading the songs.

am i happy?

In my mind I wanted to be so but my heart tells no. What a total conflicting mode from my last post! But even so, I don’t want the negative vibes to linger all through out the week. There’s so much more worth thinking and doing than letting myself drown in to so many frustrations I think I’ve caused my own self. What can I say? I am such a big dummy! Ahhh!!! I hate that part of me! But hey, so be it. I can’t please everybody and I guess I’ll just have to simply accept that fact.

To the people I’ve hurt, I’m sorry and to those who have hit me back (logically and illogically) I think I understand why you had to do so. God save our souls!
