Yey!

I'm checking my work inbox from home and saw this corporate email about EPP (Employee Purchase Program). I must say that this is very exciting for me. I can't wait to have this...

I wanted an HP Mini-Note originally, but truth be told, I really don't care for the brand for as long as I get a mini! My 17 inch HP Pavillion is just too heavy!

Amusing

My son wants to be John Lloyd. Oo, si John Lloyd Cruz.

I didn't realize how "deep" his thing for him was until I heard him say "I can't be jealous! I can't be jealous! Ngayon lang!" It took me a while to realize that was an attempt to be Miggy in John Lloyd and Sarah Geronimo's latest film, You Changed My Life. The lines should have been "I don't get jealous! I can't be jealous! I've never been jealous! Ngayon lang," but I have to applaud my three year old for delivering it with such conviction.

I wonder how he'd react if we saw John Lloyd in person?

Here's a picture of my little John Lloyd with his Ate Joanna.

As I write this, he is reenacting "how to eat an Oreo", but using Cream-O and a glass of water for his props. Cute.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

I am not pregnant. I just look like I'm about to pop. I've not had my period since November. After two negative pregnancy tests, I finally dragged myself to an OB. A transvaginal ultrasound confirmed that I have polycystic ovaries.

Doc gave me meds to induce the period and advised me to go on the pill to control my menstrual cycles. Aside from this, she wrote a prescription for Reductil.

Apparently, this condition is related to my obesity. I asked if there's anything I should not be doing. Doc was pretty blunt and said bawal kumain ng marami. And then she went on to prescribe thirty minutes of daily exercise and twenty percent reduction in my food intake. Sorry I asked.

Really, this is the hardest thing I've been asked to do.

Hello Brother!

My latest hobby. Can you believe it?

Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry

One Sunday morning, I discovered this lovely place behind my office building.

My research about Padre Pio's life led me to his famous quote, "Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry." Now that's something to live by.

Make time to visit the Saint Pio Chapel in Libis.

Apektado

Affected ako. It happened after I logged on to my friendster account this morning.

I check out who's viewed me and I see a couple of unfamiliar names. Of course I check it out di ba?

So I clicked on Candice. Up close, I discover that the guy beside her is my ex. Ah hah! She's checking me out. I don't have a problem with that. Although it qualifies as an ah hah moment. Smirking here.

I do have a little problem with my ex removing me from his list of friends. Yup, I scan through my list of friends and discover that he is gone. I have a nagging feeling that his girlfriend complained about me and his other exes being in his list of friends. I would know. I used to be like that with one particular whore, err bitch, err girl.

Its just sad because I thought we (my ex and I) were finally on the right track. The track defined as, we acknowledge that we know each other but were not talking because were not ready to be friends yet.

It sucks but its nice to know there's someone a bit more insecure than I am.

Sunday Morning

I finally got around to using my GCs.

On Christmas, I received National Bookstore and Starbucks Gift Certificates. Since then, I’ve been excited to indulge on my favorite stuff without having to shell out any cash. Thanks to Diane for the generous amount of GCs, and to my monito for being faithful to my Kris Kringle wish list. I love GCs. I love picking out my own gifts! Haha.

After work yesterday, I headed to Starbucks and got myself an Iced Mocha. Sarap talaga pag libre. Heehee. I attended the 10:00AM mass at the Saint Pio of Pietrelcina chapel in Libis, and then went back to Cybermall to grab new books as soon as NBS opened.

The last book I got for myself was The Secret. Yesterday, I decided to get two Mitch Alboms - The Five People You Meet In Heaven and For One More Day. I loved Tuesdays With Morrie, and these two books have been on my lit wish list for some time now. I just get sidetracked very often and have difficulty sticking to my list. My NBS GCs were worth six hundred. If the amount were any bigger I would have snagged something out of my list. That's just me.

So now I have two new bathroom books. Lovely.
