I’m just gonna blab here so pardon the paragraphs’ incoherence. 😀

I can’t believe it’s only 11:22 pm and am ready for bed. I decided to blog for awhile since I don’t think I can do this for the next few weeks.

My 3-yr old girl cousin is finally going to school. I am so excited!!! Just like a true mommy, I am anxious that she’ll be starting school on Monday. You see, eversince I “retired” from being a corporate slave, I’ve been playing mommy to my 2 cousins while their mom(my aunt) is working. The 7-yr old kuya already started school so the baby girl is left with us. Anyways, after much thought and debate with my mom, I finally decided to enrol Julliana at a nearby school. She’d always tell me she’s going to school and took her eagerness as a sign. I’ve been wanting to enrol her but my mom would ask me if I’m up to the challenge of waking up earlier than usual to prepare her for school, bring and pick her up, etc. I said yes but actually thought about that for awhile. I just knew I had all the time in the world and that I love taking care of her. She’s just adorable and I knew that what I’d do is an investment. Besides, school for now would just became another play. My aunt told me to enrol her if I can and then our uncle would buy her uniform, school stuff, and baon for the whole school year. As for the hatid-sundo part, our other cousin would bring Juju on her way to pick up our nephew. We’ve got so many kids in the family you know. That our family would really have to help one another. Hehe. So yesterday, we went to the school. Obviously, the parents there thought I was the mother. Gosh! I guess as early as now, I’d have to face the fact that a lot of people would think I’m the mother because she could pass as my daughter. Haha. I filled up the registration forms and wrote my name as the guardian. Gosh again! Am I really up for this kind of responsibility? Joshie encouraged me. He said he’d support me and prefers that Juju goes to school than spend the whole day eating and playing. Hehe. So on Monday, she’s off to being a student. I pray that I’ll always have the strength and patience. And oh, I’m gonna take pictures and blog about that momentous event. Stay tuned 😀

N days after I posted my 24th Birthday Wishlist post, Joshie still has no clue what I want for my birthday. He told me this afternoon that he just knows I want a new watch but I said nah..not on top of my list. I am still not telling him. And guys, don’t tell him anything what I want because I want him to think about it himself. For once! Hahaha!

My “freelance” job is slowly picking up! I just have to do good and be more conscientious. After all, this is what’s feeding me and my family. I have mixed feelings whenever people ask me where I am now, what’s my work, where’s my office, etc. I just tell them I’m doing freelance. I’ve also been looking for other freelance stuff and I got another one! I haven’t started though. And nothing’s final yet but we’re getting there. I honestly don’t think if I can do it and for how long. I’m gonna give it a try for now. I’m not telling yet. After I get paid na lang. Promise. 😀

Is it just my wordpress or the whole wordpress community…that I can’t post a single entry on my website? I have not even tweaked the design and incorporated my old database and now this. Boohoo.

I burn. I burn whatever I cook. I burn the clothes I iron. I know in my heart I was born to be a homemaker but I just can’t cook and iron clotes properly. I prefer cleaning the bathroom than those 2 chores. Heck, my brother knows how to fry fried chicken better than I am. He’s got only 2 polos for school…and I burned the other one. He’s left with only one…so that means I’d have to wash and iron it everyday! I know I can’t so I just told him to buy 3 new sets so I won’t have to care for his uniform everyday. Haha. Sorry, we don’t have any maid since there’s only me, my brother, and my lola..and the kid of course. I am home so I am the household’s current mayordama. I clean the house, wash the dishes, and do the laundry. Believe it or not, I love doing the latter. 😀

I’ve been talking to my God a lot lately..and been reading His Word more. I am happy for this newfound thirst for the Truth. Seriously!

Yun lang muna…gotta sleep for tomorrow is a Sunday…err..that’s today. Ciao!

DATE : June 25, 2007

Last week, I was having a hard time writing articles because the keywords are about loans and mortgages. Heck. What do I know about them? I’ve read tons of pages already but I couldn’t understand them. But I finished all 20 articles…in 2 days. I wonder if the client would approve of them. Haha.

And today, I’m writing about furniture and bedrooms. Again! Last year, I swore that I’ll never write about them again because I just got tired of them. Imagine, I had to write 20 articles about different types of furniture a day for a freelance project. Eeek! And now…here I am again, trying so hard to produce anything sensible. Sigh.

Now I wonder if I still want to pursue SEO. Haha. Of course! Problem is, I just have to do it on my own. Sheeesh.

29 articles…2 down…27 more to go. Heeelp!:p

se7en! tagged by kuya christian

I’ve been thinking about what to put in here that’s why it took me days to answer this tag. And ’til now, I haven’t think of any interesting things about myself. Oh well…I have all the time in the world to stare at Digory and answer this.

1. I, too, am more of a homebody than a gimikera. Yes, I do go out from time to time but I prefer being stuck at home. And right now, I’m living the life because I am working at home. :p

2. I graduated valedictorian both grade school and highschool. I deliberately chose not to be competitive when I got to college…the reason why I almost got kicked out of my college. Haha!

3. I think I am a jack of all trades. I know just a little bit of everything : piano, guitar, violin, flute, web design, photoshop, html coding, seo, etc. but never will be a master of any of those.  When I say a little bit…just a little.

4. Right now, I honestly don’t want to go back to the corporate world. I am praying that my homebased work would work ’til I have saved enough for my family and my future. Besides, I’ve never dreamt of being an uber corporate chic…because my greatest dream is to become a good wife and mother to my future kids. Yay!

5. My greatest fear in life is not to be able to have a child of my own. See no. 4.

6. I used to write letters to my first crush when I was in grade 1. We were busmates. No, he’s not the only one I gave letters to..but to almost all my friends…but I think at that age..umiistyle na ko..hahaha!

7. When I was 9 yrs old, I remember a boy coming out of his family’s car..I saw him and told my cousin , “Tignan mo si _ _ _ _ , maappeal talaga no. Ewan ko ba. Parang there’s something about him…” At 9 yrs old imagine! And guess what, 14 years later…I still think there’s something about him…and yeah, I am marrying Joshie….hindi nga lang soon. 😛

Boring and uninteresting stuff. Whatdaheck…7 is not enough.I guess I have to do another similar post. 😛

How interesting that I found this at luciotan.’s website. I didn’t know that the business mogul has a website. Anyway, the girl is just amazing. I can understand why Amanda cried because I, too, cried. I was deeply moved by the beauty and talent of the little girl. The last time I cried over somebody singing was when I saw this Christmas movie at HBO. The leading lady was singing a Christmas song and I was moved to tears. I don’t always get amazed but when I heard Connie Talbot singing,I was just stunned. Watch the video so you’ll knowing what I’m talking about.

Weather today is very unusual. Cool. You see, for the past 2 weeks its been too hot when it’s supposed to be the rainy season. I keep telling my family that I find it hotter now than in the summer.Humid. Today, I woke up not perspiring. I didn’t feel the need to take a bath right away. Haha! I take a bath 2x a day..sometimes even thrice…before I start work and before I sleep.

It’s also weird that the house is kept clean. Mom is here and did major cleaning last night. And the kids are no longer with us. How sad..for me, because they make happy and insane at the same time. Etoy is now in school and Juju is out.  I am left alone with the senior citizens. Hehe.

Off to work. Wearing my favorite ‘pambahay’. Donning a new haircut. This is turning out to be a very quiet day. I guess I’d have to get used to this….you know, silence.

I had a looong day yesterday even if I woke up late…at 1 pm! It’s my normal waking hours so forgive me. I just gotta blog about this..you know, just one of those days that I enjoyed so much spending time with the people I love. =)

Josh and I brought my cousins Etoy and Juju to the mall to buy the former’s things for school. I told his mom I’d sponsor his school supplies. And because my Lola asked me to also buy him new pair of shoes…I did, even if it’s way over my budget for the month. It just felt good to see his smile when he woke up in the morning excited that he’d finally go out of the house after 2 weeks of being caged because of chickenpox.

I felt I was a mommy already with the kids and daddy. Haha. (Shhh…I always daydream about that :p) After shopping, I asked Joshie if he could feed the kids..and me. He said yes because he remembered he still owes me 300 bucks so told me to just use the money. Right. Very wise.

Tsalap!

Julliana did not finish her meal. Actually, just her rice. Just we were about to leave, she told me, “Uwi natin yang kanin, sayang eh!”. Cute. At her age, she already knows how to make tipid. So I did bring her leftover with us. Joshie and I brought the kids back to my house. Good thing he didn’t let me drive his car because traffic along Boni Ave was bad! We then proceeded to our church for his practice with the band. Oh how I miss the team. I don’t know yet when I’ll be joining them again.

Anyway, I had the chance to hear the band jam before practice. I actually posted their video here and took this picture of Jose Rizal...

I promise not to enter any Zara or Mango outlets when I’m in the mall.

So help me God.

(Atleast for the next 4 weeks.) :p

What do I do when I had a good night rest? Wake up happy and excited that I opened Digory right away and took a photo of myself. See…just look at how beautiful I am. 😛

I am now on my 3rd week of being a bum. I must say I am enjoying every minute of it. Well, except for the heat. We have no airconditioning so I have to do with electric fans and the windows wide open. And of course, the 2 baths a day and frequent change of clothes.

My days are ordinary. I’d wake up at around 7 or 8 am. Time alone with God. Text Joshie. Eat breakfast. Clean the house. Do some errands like go to the bank or to the grocery. Bathe my cousin Julliana. Have lunch. Do whatever chores. Then go online from 4pm to 12 am.

It is no secret that I am doing some freelance. I am working at home and I need to be contactable at those hours. I am currently enjoying what I am doing but I don’t know ’til when I’ll be having this job. Lately I’ve been thinking what if my boss suddenly decides that he won’t need me anymore. That would leave me jobless…a true blue bum without any money. It would mean I’d have to go job-hunting again. Look for job ads,send resume, go to interviews, etc. Right now, I honestly don’t think I can handle that. Because I don’t want to do that ever…ever again. I don’t know. I just wish Josh and I have a business we can call our own so we no longer have to work…and just have money work for us. (Rich Dad Poor Dad eh?). You see, yesterday was his last day at work. Yep. He also resigned. That leaves the two lovers turned bums.

But you know, I honestly believe that we are bums for a reason. I don’t know. We’re not really bums. We have homebased jobs. Me at my place and my freelance. And him working for his dad. We could very well become officemates you know. I could work at his place while he can also work at mine. Just bring our laptops and connect to the Net then off we go to work. We already set a schedule : Mon and Wed – my place ; Tues and Thurs – Bel-Air ; and Friday anywhere there’s wifi..err..Starbucks Rockwell? A dream perhaps. I am dreaming really that I won’t have to work. But hey, I need to face the reality soon. I don’t know where this freelance job will take me or ’til when. I just know that I have to make the most of my free time. To do good and to spend time with the people I love. I still hope and pray this job would work out.

I am thinking of getting guitar lessons from my boyfriend. Seriously. Or take singing lessons. Or ice skating. Or cooking or whatever. I only have 2 hours left in my driving lessons and I can’t wait for it to be over. Driving made me realize that I don’t want to drive unless I’ll be driving my own car bought with my own blood and money. And that it’s really better if I’ll just hire a driver. Haha! Anyway, because I already have a student permit…Josh no longer have any reason not to let me drive his car. Teehee.

Enough…I’m not making any sense I know.
