BACK ON TRACK

You all know that I was feeling low last week.      I blogged about it here .   One of the reasons I cited was I miss my family. Few hours after I posted my drama, I received a call from my mom telling me that they’re going to visit me here in Manila.   Wow! What was that?   Telekinetic power! Fyi, she’s not a reader of my blog.   She does not even know that I blog.     Well, I guess moms can read minds. Meet my mom, Bitoy and Baba (from left to right) In Manila Ocean Park.  Ang cute ng sealions-bitoy   Baba,  Bitoy and Boylet in Starcity. Ooops, ano ginagawa ng nasa likod. lol   Back in Naga, I told them that my house here in Manila has a swimming pool. Their answer   was  "Weh?".    When they arrived at the condo… Me: I told you may swimming pool ang bahay namin. Baba: Tita Ganda (walang kokontra), nasaan man ang bahay   mo? Me: Ito. Baba: Hindi naman ito bahay, building ito. Me: Ganito ang mga bahay dito sa Manila. (bt

Friendship

When it comes to friends, I consider myself lucky.    Proof? Friend R: May lunch ka na? Me: Wala pa eh. Di pa dumadaan si Manang.   Bakit libre mo ako ng lunch? Friend R: Ay oo, lunch out tayo!   Di ako magpapatalo kay Atty R (my other friend). Di ba nilibre ka nya ng     madaming cake kahapon, ililibre kita ng lunch ngayon. Hindi ako nagpapatalo! Me: Hahaha. I’m so swerte!  Convinced?   lol  

MEMO

For the past few days, I’ve been feeling so low.   I cannot exactly pinpoint the reason.   Perhaps because   I am starting to gain weight again.   Perhaps because   I’m bored.   Perhaps because I’m tired.   Perhaps because I miss my family.   Perhaps because I still consider myself a failure and I am not doing anything to erase that label.   Oh yes, that’s it. But this conversation made   me smile… Boss: okay na to Che (referring to the memo I drafted) Me: Wow! First time boss na walang red (been working as his staff for more than two years) Boss: Ha? Anong red? Me:   Walang correction.    Diba everytime na pinapadraft mo ako, date lang ang natitira? Boss: Ah, di ko to binasa eh! Me: Boss naman… Boss: O Sige na nga, pwede na to. (napilitan baka mawala ang ngiti ko) As to my “drama”, I should go back to my old self (positive, bubbly and confident)   the soonest possible time.   The clock is ticking.
