Happy Friday the 13th!

Happy Friday the 13th!

Wardrobe

We are experiencing couple of rains nowadays, that means summer is about to end and rainy days are soon to come. Good thing I have different attire for both seasons here in the country. Rainy season calls for slick fitted jeans, nice top and boots, just like the one's they sell in equestrian apparel. And speaking of boots, I have a 3 pairs and one of those is the rain boots. At first I had doubts on buying and wearing it after because I was hesitant and thought people might find it funny. But after a few try-outs... once it rains, automatic it's those rains boots on my feet. We only have two seasons here in the country and my closet is full already. I wonder how those people living in four seasons, I wonder how their closets are.

Teflon

I plan to buy medium size pans for our kitchen because it's always a hassle to cook on big pans when my recipe is for only two persons. I plan to get one medium size teflon pan and a portable grill. I know it's a little bit pricey than the ordinary one but I'm sure the food will not stick on it. Then I found this teflon hose on the web. I haven't heard of anything like. I guess they use the teflon technology on other household equipments too. It's actually quite amazing really.

Workplace

Our facilities at work are resilient when it comes to taking care of office equipments. Coffee and water dispensers are properly placed neatly in the corner where they cannot cause a mess in the floor area. The exit signs are well lightly so we can easily see it in case of emergency. What I really don't like was the entrance and exit to our account/workplace. They made a long passage for us to walk through and not the short cut route. We are still complaining about the passage because it'll really help us cut time on our breaks and less walking effort.

Bahala na.

The kiddo finally decided to visit the dentist. So we went to a pedia-dentist near our home last Monday and the dentist advise us to get the jacket for preventive reasons and we still need two more root canals for ruin molars. It's 2k per tooth and there's four of them tsk tsk tsk. Now I'm worried what I will pay for the tuition fee month. Bahala na.

AC or LCD?

Hubby and I had this conversation on what to buy next. He suggested AC for the house because it's scorching hot especially at night. I checked for possible AC buys on the Internet and the split-type inverter costs a lot. They it's 50% energy saving but I don't we can even afford to get one. So I suggested a flat screen or that LCD tv with bluray home theatre system. But hubby said it's too much for our little apartment. Or maybe just the LCD tv? We're still talking about it so let's see.

Bin Laden Dead

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. forces finally found al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden not in a mountain cave on Afghanistan's border, but with his youngest wife in a million-dollar compound in a summer resort just over an hour's drive from Pakistan's capital, U.S. officials said.

A small U.S. team conducted a night-time helicopter raid on the compound early on Monday. After 40 minutes of fighting, bin Laden and an adult son, one unidentified woman and two men were dead, the officials said.

U.S. forces were led to the fortress-like three-story building after more than four years tracking one of bin Laden's most trusted couriers, whom U.S. officials said was identified by men captured after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

"Detainees also identified this man as one of the few al Qaeda couriers trusted by bin Laden. They indicated he might be living with or protected by bin Laden," a senior administration official said in a briefing for reporters.

Bin Laden was finally found -- more than 9-1/2 years after the 2001 attacks on the United States -- after authorities discovered in August 2010 that the courier lived with his brother and their families in an unusual and extremely high-security building, officials said.

They said the courier and his brother were among those killed in the raid.

Labor day!

Happy Labor day!

Dreaming of shoes

I've been checking on the latest Nike shoes the other day. All I saw on one site is the new Nike Dunks but what I want is the Nike Air Max. I fell in love with it immediately after I saw it few months back. But that price tag attached to it, I think I can't buy it even if it's Christmas. Then my sister gave me her old Nike running pair when she was here two weeks ago. I was soo excited but all the excitement faded when I learned that it's slightly small on the right foot. Why is my right foot bigger than the left? That's so odd. Anyway, I'm guessing that it'll be years again until I get a pair of Nike shoes because now I'm gonna have to pay for the kiddo tuition fee at school first.

Music Therapy!

Marry Me AMY jam later this afternoon and I'm so excited. After more than two months, we're finally gonna make music again. This is what I really need... Music Therapy!

Vacation is over

My vacation is finally over. I'll be reporting to work tomorrow night and I hope the pain from the scar would not affect the way I work. Anyway, we still have plans to go to the beach next month and maybe I can start jogging two week from now. More plans ahead.

Serious diet

I really need to loose weight big time! I just went to work this week and I was so frustrated to know that my jeans won't fit anymore. Argh! It's such a terrible feeling. All those months of exercise and diet was wasted. Now I'm back to zero again. I know I still can't jog yet because I still feel the pain every now and then. Plus it's still very hard for me to even run fast so serious diet is what I really need now and maybe some diet pill like oxyelite pro results. I'll give this another month and after that, I really really need to jog. Let's see.

Thinking of houses

Hubby and I are thinking of getting our own place this year. I know it'll be a lot of paper works plus a huge adjustment on our budget. I can't think of any place here than living in QC. I can't move anywhere else because we really need to be near our work area. I envy those families who have their own place. I wonder how it feels like living in a lake front home like Branson real estate. But I would not go that far. For now, all we need is a neat and tidy house even if it's small.

Summer 2011

We hit the beach at Hundred islands with my sister and the rest of the family and man, I definitely enjoyed the sea air and sand on my feet. I feel I needed it after that traumatic surgery experience. Although all my shots looked weird except for this one. Love it.

~ Hundred Island ~

Beach tomorrow!

We are going to the beach tomorrow! I need fresh air, salt water and creamy sand on my feet. I hope I'll recover fast after this trip. See yah!

Job alert

I just received some bad news from the office, that another account will cease to exist again. Well I can't blame anyone because a call center job is not a permanent one. But it's just sad to know that me and my officemates might suffer the same fate. Well, I already did, 5 months ago, but I was one of the lucky ones who had an account to transfer to. This made me think that I need to update resume. I know an it degree is an advantage already. If I would transfer to another job again, I will make I'll get retirement benefit because it's hard to stay in the company and leave without anything.

Gallstone story

Gallstone surgery was quite an experience that I will never forget. Whole story *here*

Galstone

I just had a surgery last night and had my galstone removed. All I know is that my tummy was aching soo bad that we went to the hospital and the next thing I know, I was being admitted and scheduled for surgery. The operation was quite an experience that I will never forget and Thank God it's over and I'm alive and well. I'm still trying to cope with the pain and I'm trying to ready my mind and body for the pain in the few days and weeks. But I don't want to bury myself on misery and I promise myself that I'll do whatever it takes to get better and be a better person again.

Reunion

Our high school reunion is coming up in a few months time and everybody seems to be planning already. Meetings are conducted every now and then, and POC are assigned on designated tasks. I'm not active on attending meetings and everything but I will definitely attend the reunion. I wonder what they have for souvenir. Maybe a keychain, photo frame or class rings? Let's see.

April fool

Happy April Fool's day!
