Give You A Hand

Here's a "Happy Wednesday!" Glove Balloon to celebrate your small win of getting through half of the week! Well, mine has just begun, so I can't celebrate just yet. 😆 My junior made this and I found it cute. So, I told her, "Tekaaa, jan ka lang! Let me take a photo!"

I've always loved taking photos of random objects and candid shots of people close to me since highschool, which they (my friends) only got to appreciate after more than a decade, as we look back on our happy memories.

I have heaps of random photos in my gallery, which I pull out whenever I'm looking for photos that would be perfect for playlist album covers, or thumbnails for my blog entries.

Aside from emoticons being cute, I also find them relatable. The past few days/weeks have been one hell of a roller coaster ride, with its ups and downs. And I guess it's just a ME problem, for God has only been so kind, pouring out blessings on me endlessly, while I keep fighting the signs and warnings that come my way. Giving "benefit of the doubt". Ahhh, silly me.

I'm about to start a new chapter in my life, and I'm about to get super busy, yet I still spend time thinking of things that I should not even be bothered to think about. 😩 Icaroo, stop caring too much about others and start focusing on your own shit.

Maybe a slap on the face by this glove would put it to good use.

As a "look at the sky!" person, here are photos of the sky, I took this afternoon, on the way home.

With all the ugly things happening in our country, this beautiful moment during golden hour gives me hope. I'd take a deep breath and realize the day is over. I should rest, learn from the things that happened today, and just do my best tomorrow, to make it a better day.

Aside from the contract-signing at the new job, what I look forward to this coming weekend, is that I'll be cooking something I've never prepared before... Katsu Curry. Well, pros might think this is cheating, since I won't be doing it from scratch. 😂

Other spices in this photo have nothing to do with the dish I will be preparing, but hopefully, I get to use them before I post another blog entry. 😂

Mom has been sending me videos and recipes, low-key sending me a signal to make them for her. 😆

Sunshine and Some Pawsitive Vibes

I'm glad my doggos at home don't feel betrayed whenever they sniff me by the door, as I arrive from my afternoon walks with our subdivision's doggos.

These doggos used to bark at me when I was new in the neighborhood. But when I started walking and jogging, they started following me around like I'm the leader of the pack, and we do our rounds, checking what's new with the on-going construction, looking out for danger. LOL.

These doggos love basking in the sun around golden hours, just like me. Rainy days are bad news to us because aside from not having enough sunlight, it means we won't be able to walk.

I love the fact that they are free to roam around the subdivision 24/7, yet they still walk with me and do their "thing" (potty) number 1 and 2, during our walks. 😆 And I take that as a compliment... because it means they trust me. 🥹

Fifteen

Fifteen days left and I've already done most of the things in my to-do list.

1. Delegate the tasks and responsibilities I currently have

2. Train them and teach them everything they have to know

3. Organize stuff and have everything fixed

4. Create a system or improve the current system, for everyone to work efficiently

5. Inform my doctors 😆 (They were all so supportive and kulit hahaha)

I gave a 45-day-notice last month so that I can do everything in this list before leaving. I'm glad my bosses were all supportive and told me I could come back if I ever change my mind. 🥹

I'm going to miss this hospital and I'll forever be grateful to the people who helped me become the medtech that I am today. But it's time to make new memories, learn and experience new things.

But whatever I end up doing in the future, wherever I end up at, I'll always love and support this hospital.

Above is a photo of a tumbler I find cute because uhmm, hello, it's orange! 😤 But huhu self, no! Wag kang magastos.

Workaholic?

Funny how almost everyone greets me with, "Oh, wala kang pasok?" instead of saying hi. 

Have I been so dedicated at work for the past eight years that people think I'm always at work?

I do have days off and paid leaves, guys! 😆

Back-to-school feels

Went shopping for school/office supplies for my upcoming training/masters. 🥹

I really love studying and learning new things.

One Down

One week down, three to go.

Looks like "cooking" will be on my to-do list while I'm on a hiatus.

Also on my list... is driving around the city, to gain more confidence on the road and to enhance my "driving reflexes"

I've been really chill lately, resting, going out/hanging out with relatives, using up my "Leaves".

I pray that this and the coming months will be filled with blessings, opportunities, love and joy for all of us.

Dear reader,

We are probably friends, because no one outside my circle knows this page. 😆

Thanks for keeping up with my weirdness and for being part of this journey.

I hope you'll continue to support and understand me. 🙏🤍

September

When relatives and close friends come to visit my family and me, I don't really mind if they won't bring anything. Like seriously, them coming to spend time with us already means a lot. But it makes me even more emotional/touched when they bring something just because they know we'd like/enjoy it, or when they know our favorites. Oh, the thought and effort that people put in giving presents.

Also, to me, every cent one spends is important, because you've worked really hard for it. Spending on something for someone means... there is love and care in it.

I've also been kind to myself this weekend by rewarding myself with things that have been on my list for quite some time, because I believe I deserve them. 😆

The count down begins...

I'm excited for my two-week-break (well not really... because I'll still be attending classes 😆) But I bet I'll be having fun because I really enjoy studying and the topics are interesting and are things that I need to learn, for my new job.

I'm excited to return to SG. 🥹 Hopefully, I get to wake up early, jog and enjoy the safe environment there hehe. I'll be there for less than a week but I hope I'll get to do and see more things this time. 🙏
