Under Events, Family, Life, Vacation

It’s been a while since I last posted here.. The past few months had been very busy for me as I continued struggled with my job, and landed a part-time job… As well as family matters.

So far, this year has nothing but bad memories for me. Last March, the car I was using (which is my mom’s very old car which my dad uses right now cause they refuse to sell the old thing) got stolen. I was out with friends and when we were on our way to a bar, we were looking for the car, and it just wasn’t there. We reported everything to the police, and 3 days after, they found the car. But, everything was stolen. The car was working fine, but all our other stuff inside the car was stolen.

Next up, just a few days after the car being stolen, an elementary classmate and friend died…. I had to go home earlier just to be able to attend his wake as well as his funeral, so I went home Thursday afternoon, than the usual Friday afternoon.

Rough patch huh… That’s merely 2 of the stuff that I had to go through this year. At least for now. It’s only May, anything can happen in the next months.. (like say our elected President being someone that will not live up to the names of his parents and cause chaos in this country) Please be good to me, to us, 2010…

In other news..

I’ve been planning the past weeks. I confronted my mom about wanting to go with my sister to the US this October and look for a job there, and go back to fix my visa, and then work there. But, instead of saying that, I said I wanted a vacation. Then she said, “Why not get our Graduation gift then? Where do you want to go..?”

EXPLANATION: I did not have a grand debut party unlike the one my sister had last December (another reason for the busy months before because I was running back and forth helping out). I only had an overnight with my High School friends and that was it (well, my parents gave me iPod speakers as well, but that’s just like a birthday gift like any other birthday and not the debut gift itself). I said I wanted a tour. But as the months passed, I thought that I needed a laptop that time, more than a tour. So I asked for one. And thus my MacBook.

And now that I have graduated from college, instead of asking for anything else, I asked for the tour I wanted for my debut. Where may you ask? They always thought that I wanted a tour around Korea. The truth is, I just wanted to go there because my friend lived there and I wanted to visit her. But now that she’s not there, I don’t think I’d want to visit, unless if I’m with family. So, where’s the tour? Europe.

I’ve been searching around the web for cheap tour packages around Europe and so far I have lessened the costings by half than I originally found. From I think around $11k, I had it cut short to $6k nearing 7 including airfare (the $11k didn’t include the airfare and was limited). Not bad, huh. I just hope that my mom would agree because I worked so hard to be able to find the cheapest tours around Europe and so far I found the cheapest. But of course, I’ll have to save up for the trip too (just in case she doesn’t agree on the proposed tours and for souvenirs).

This website will undergo a revamp anytime I get the inspiration to design. Being a graphics designer is making my creative room dry up. I need to find something to inspire me…

Under Family, Philippine News, Vacation

And so summer had ended and A(H1N1) cases in the country had increased, drastically.. :( 4-6 cases had already been found in the university where I used to study so the school has been closed for 2 weeks… And now, all universities in the country had pushed their school opening for another week because of all the cases.

Anyways, I just came home from a summer vacation from an island in our country last Monday… El Nido, Palawan to be exact. It was SO fun! I haven’t had so much fun ever since we visited the United States.. Everything was a new experience to me since this is really the first time that I had fun in the water.. I discovered that I love being on a boat! Funny I know..

Under Family, Geeky Girl, Life, Vacation, Work

It’s May 28th here and it is nearing the end of summer… For most people anyways. Our school had started it’s first term last Monday (May 25). It usual starts early because we are under the Trimester system, so yeah. Hehe.

So, what had I been up to the past how many weeks that I haven’t been blogging… Well for one thing, I have achieved another wish that I wanted.. I finished driving school I think about 2 to 3 weeks ago and just last week, I got my driving license! But, the problem there is, I have no car to use. My parents won’t have me drive an automatic car just yet. They want me to start off with a manual car. The problem there is, all our manual cars are with my two sisters who are both working in the city… So no manual car for me. My mom did say that I would borrow my grandfather’s old car, the Volkswagen Beetle (they had it fixed a few years ago so yes, it is still functional). But, HELLO. The car is YEARS older than me, probably older than my oldest sister. I MIGHT have a hard time driving that thing compared to having a hard time driving our Kia Pride CD-5

Under Events, Life, Vacation, Work

I’m almost done with college, all I’m waiting for right now is our final presentation (for the award we were nominated for) and that presentation will be on Monday from 10 – 12 noon. And finally, I am moving out of my dorm that same day. After the presentation, I will be evacuating from the place. FINALLY.. And right now, I am bored with my one week vacation, what more with my entire summer…?

Under Boredom, Cute!, Life, Rants, School, Vacation

I went home to the province today because I miss the atmosphere here… The quiet and joyful atmosphere unlike what I experience in our condo in Manila. Also another reason for that is because my oldest sister was in a rage because she couldn’t access the router there – she is way too short tempered to even wait for anything.

So anyways, the moment I walked into the house, I was greeted by my niece who was carrying my dad’s shoes thinking it was his slippers. When she saw me, she let go of the shoe and went straight to me to have me carry her (she’s currently a year and 8 months, nearing nine this 27th)… I missed that.. The way that she’s too cute and adorable and is always there to greet you once you open the door…

It’s a Saturday night, nearing 12 midnight and tomorrow, I will be returning to the city. Why? Aside from the fact that I still have my internship, classes start this Monday… So, I go to school Monday and Wednesday. Then from 8AM till around 3:30PM during Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be at the office… Then whole day during Fridays… Such a tight schedule and it’s only the first week of classes…

Basically, I only have an overnight here at the province before I return back to reality… Can’t I stay here a little longer…? :(

Expect a little less blogging starting Monday… Since it will be my last week next week for work, I heard that they will be giving me boxes of documents to scan.. So I guess I have to go back to the office after my class on Tuesdays and Thursdays just to finish all that is needed to be done I don’t leave anything unfinished… Unless it is a self-proclaimed project… I might even extend the 200-hour max if I do that.. Not that it would increase my grade…
