and my shift is over. i had the mistake of drinking coffee for breakfast yesterday, few minutes before my shift ends. the effect? i’ve been awake for more than 24 hours now. sad.

i’ve got a message from a dear friend last night asking for a favor. i would love to help. after all, what are friends for? but i refused anyway. she was asking me to call her husband to check if, once he answers his call, he’s on a bar.

why do wives need to always ALWAYS know where their husbands are? maybe there’s nothing wrong there if he hasn’t told you where he’s going. but if he said he’s going to a bar. just believe him. and for the love of God, don’t spy on him.

besides, even if he’s out with another woman, what would you really do? are you really going to leave him? are you sure you won’t just look the other way? if so, why the need to know?

like they’ve said, what you don’t know won’t hurt you. why bother?

i’ve asked friends about something that’s been bothering me for a couple of weeks now. and here are some of their reactions:

          “always always have savings. never ever empty your coffers”

           “ok lang nmn mgpaka-event ka. syempre this is her first big event”

           ”sa panahon ngayon dapat praktikal ka!”

at ang pinakapanalo sa lahat:

           “shakey’s?! wag nmn shakey’s!!!”

• smell of BG
• smell of my husband
• scented toiletries
• fresh bedsheets
• freebies
• hot pandesal for breakfast
• pizza night with friends
• BG’s playtime with daddy and/or mommy
• backrub from husband

i was trying to look for an article i have written a couple of years back for philippine daily inquirer’s youngblood. it used to be online. but i guess my article’s too old. but while i was searching for it, i realized that a lot from my generation have written one or two for the ‘youngblood’. like it’s part of crossing over from youth to adulthood.

now that my article’s no longer online, maybe it’s time for me to write another one. hey, why not? i still have 9 months to go until deadline.

don’t you think it’s sad to hear that Anna Nicole Smith died without altering her will? as a mom, i know she would have wanted her daughter to be under the custody of someone she trusts would be the ‘best parent’ to her daughter.
well, made me think i should at least blog of my desires in case i die unexpectedly. if i die now, i’d like my daughter to be under the custody of:

1. my husband
2. my mom-in-law (but weekends with my mom)
3. my mom
4. my sister

written in order that in case #1 dies with me, #2 has the rights. but if #1 and #2 dies with me, #3 has the rights. and so on. now, i’ll just make sure i don’t go out with these 4 people all at the same time, just to be on the safe side. haha.

what inspired me to have this new blog was something that was bothering me.

we were asked to update our “skill pack” a few weeks back. i have updated mine on the 23rd. i have been vocal to friends and former officemates that as much as i like the perks of my job, i badly miss my old job (except for the pay of course haha). darn! if only i could find a job same as my previous, with the same (or higher) pay i’m receiving now.i was comfortable with my old job where english fluency isn’t as important as technical mastery.and when i say technical — i mean down and dirty technical.

there are only 10 kinds of people. those who can read binary and those who can not.
