be patient

Di na ako nakakapagblog, mejo busy ako ngayon eh… sa kakahintay ng magandang development sa aking 2007 dream. Minsan, nakakapagod nang mag antay pero dapat be patient talaga. Di ko na lang yan mamamalayan, anjan na. Ang sarap siguro ng feeling na yun, na ang pinaghirapan ko ng matagal ay magkakatotoo na. Sana… haaay… in the meantime trabaho daw muna ako at mejo nahuhumaling na ako sa kakaInternet, hehehe.

alang kwenta

Its 6:50, waiting for the final bell before I’ll rush to the elevator (sana di na magtext boss ko na tuloy meeting naming mamya, oderwise, stuck ako dito hanggang 10pm.

Eto, dahil bored ako, may sasagutan na naman akong survey, pampalipas oras na naman, yey!

How well do you know me?For instance, did you know...Four jobs I have had in my life:

Four nicknames I've been given:
1. Gagang -until now by my family and relatives and neighbors
2. Bebe – weird nickname from a teacher before, not so romatic haha. Hated it when she calls me like that before
3. Gracia – tawag ng aking barkada sa akin.
4. Grace – some friends still call me this name. (by the way, I’m Gracy to everyone who knew me since 1994 to present)…

Four places I have lived:
1. BSC valley
2. Heights
3. Sampaguita/ Kalayaan UP Dil

2. The place where I want to be in 07
3. The place where I want to be in 07
4. The place where I want to be in 07

ieeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww. Alas syete na, lalayas na ako,hehe. As if!!! di pa reply boss ko, waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...

wala

I feel so useless today, as in wala akong nagawa.
Kanina pa ako dito sa office, 8:00 am, had a telecon earlier. After that, i answered some mails, prepared our "surprise bday treat" for Yen tapos Internet na.

Hay naku, nakaka guilty. Di able, mejo ginaganahan na ako, i still have 4 more hours para maging productive...

pero lately, eto talaga nararamdaman ko. ewan ko ba, im not that "workaholic" as i used to be. Pag may deadline, cram to the max ako pero pag wala, naku super lax. Tama pala si Ms. A, we are "dispensable". Maka-train na nga ng aking mga back-ups, hihihi.

Gracy, balik trabaho ka na!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shucks, ieeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww... ang artsssssss ko.......

meds

Just had my medicals done today, it was actually a breeze! Arrived there around 8:00 am, filled out some forms and was given a number (since I was early, I’m second in the queue). After paying 5,700 (3,200 for the meds, 2,500 for courier --- quite a rip-off since fed-ex only charged me 1,200 last March), I went to the motion of the medical examination --- physical, blood sample, urine sample, blood pressure and x-ray. After this, I was told that after a week, I could call them for the tracking number of the result (to be sent to LCU).

Now all I have to do is wait, wait and wait. Sana, tulad ako ni X who got her visa after 2 weeks at sana di ako matulad ni GJ na umabot ng 4 months ang pagaantay dahil hindi kaagad na confirm ang kanyang COE.

Lord, lam ko pinapakinggan mo lahat ng dasal ko… sana po tuloy tuloy na eto at sana po si Wombat din…

Tara, samahan mo ako sa aking pag-aantay…

..firsts...

First time kong…

…manood sa Globe Platinum sa Gateway (hindi yata sulit for me kasi konti lang nakain kong popcorn nun eh);
…kumuha ng magandang picture ni Oble (after spending 5 years sa UP, ni hindi ko man lang nakuhang magpapicture dun);
…pumunta sa Bohol (maganda pala dun, kaso parang bitin ako. Di kasi ako nakasama sa snorkelling nila kasi di ako makahinga nga maayos dun sa gear na napunta sa akin);
…kumain sa chocolate kiss, yung sa first floor (nakakain na rin ako dun sa 2nd floor, twice na din with my friends, pero sa first floor, minsan lang);
…manood ng concert ni Regine at Ogie (at nagmadali umuwi kasi may nakita akong di ko dapat makita,hahahaha);
…pumunta sa Jaime Velasquez park, mag stay dun ng matagal (as in hanggang madaling araw yata);
…mag Bay Walk na aabutin ng umaga (5 am, hehehe);
…mag simba sa Alimall (hehe ulit);

pag tinignan mo ulit ang listahan ko sa taas, baka sabihin mo na hindi naman out of this world ang mga entries ko, pero pagbigyan mo na ako, may rason ako kung bakit ko nilagay ko ang mga yan jan. Wala na lang pakialaman. ;-)

Baka nga may nakalimutan pa akong isulat eh, sa susunod na lang. :-)

This post is for you

I may have said this a thousand times, but I still want to say it again: “Thank You”

… for being there last week-end;
… for coming over to our house at 6:30 am;
… for just letting me cry my frustrations (sometimes, after a very emotional and tiring day, its good to just let everything out and cry);
… for braving the rain, for waking up earlier than usual, for bringing the heaviest of my things (and all you got is a tsokolate and bibingka);
… for not giving up on me (tantrums and all);
… for trying your best to understand me;
… for believing in me;
… for being YOU.

Merci beaucoup, du fond de mon cœur…
Merci pour faire ressortir l'enfant dans moi...

Elevator Story

In my previous entry, I narrated my love-hate relationship with the elevator at our place and how it failed me twice already. Well, early this morning, I was glad to see that there’s a hint of light upon pressing the elevator’s button. When the door opened, I noticed the seemingly dark interiors of the car (do you call it a car or a shaft or whatever). As soon as the door closed, it became so dark inside! Oh my God, the lights are not functioning. Its really pitch dark inside and the elevator is creaking (since its really an old model, without the CLOSE button!!!). It was scary. Upon reaching the 7th floor, I went out as fast as I can and vowed to bring a flashlight the next time I go out of the house.

That’s my elevator story for the day. When I left the house this evening, it was working well, lights and all. Only then I realize that I forgot my flashlight.

;-)

New Home

We finally moved out from 1516B, the place we lived and breathed for the past 3 years and a half. Now, my current address is 712 (7th Floor, Rm 12) where the elevator has a mind of its own and decides when to be of use to everyone and when to take a break (unfortunately for me, the elevator failed me twice already, once when we were moving my heaviest bag and earlier today when I have to go to bank).

My first night at 712 is not that eventful, I didn’t sleep well coz I think I am alone, haven’t been able to talk to my new housemate yet. First night and all alone!!! But I was not scared, just very conscious of my surrounding. Good thing my tv is working (yippee, thanks Wombat for making sure that I have an operational tv to keep me sane in my new place), I can now keep track of my favorite shows. Next project is to have my dvd player fixed so that I can watched my fave shows again, and of course to finally learn French, Belly Dancing, etc. etc.

My bed (sofa bed) is not so comfy. I have backaches in the morning. I don’t know when this will last (the sofa bed, I mean).

I’m reporting night shift the whole week so I’ll be able to assess how sleep friendly in the day is our new home (and if proven not, then I can only buy dark curtains to keep the light from coming in. Not much choice for me as I have 6 months til my contract ends).

I would like to thank my Wombat for helping me in moving my things, for being there for me everyday and for keeping me company even if it means having to brave the rain, waking up earlier than usual and going home late in the evening. I really appreciated all the effort. I know we’ll have limited time together after this, but its all for the best.

May sense ba ang post na eto? If wala, then forgive me. I’m doing this while busy preparing for closing and audit, hehehehe.
