Worthwhile Vacation

Finally I was able to spare some time to blog again.

A week's worth vacation is finally over. Gosh, I was so so tired,before, during and after vacation. hehe. A week before I left SG, I had an upset stomach for several days :( and my mind was somehow preoccupied with the burden of carrying the TV as part of my checked-in luggage. It's not an easy task. So many preparations..stuffing pillows in the box, putting labelsof 'FRAGILE' all over, at the same time also being bothered whether the customs people in NAIA are going to block my way in anticipation of 'lagay'. Luckily, everythingwent out smoothly. I dont think I'll have a repeat of buying huge electronic items. :)

Home again. Funny to think I went home primarily just to spend my bday there. Hey birthday happens only oncea year, pagbigyan! I'm glad to say I was able to squeeze as many things as I can into my schedule. Medical - 6 dental fillings(haha!), prophylaxis, blood test, check-ups, derma!. Relaxing - facial, swedish massage, foot spa, haircut. Food - buffet, seafood fest with family, even had time for Jollibee and Andoks! (I have to blog about the Food separately) Of course,meeting several friends to catch up with life's stories. Oops, and yes I also got my last pay and tax refund from my previous employer. To my delight, it's more than I expected :) I also did my shopping galore for clothes and essentials (I think I have a half year's worth of feminine napkin, feminine wash, skin care stuff, as well as office clothes and pajamas hehe). Lastly, ala off-the-beaten-track, I even got time to spend a night at Edsa Shang again, had a videoke session and a quick out-of-town trip.

Well spent! Sulit! Bitin sa oras. More! :p

On my flight back, again I had difficulty with my baggages. I had my usual handbag, laptop bag and a small handcarry luggage. On top of these, I had to bring 2 additional ala-gym bag, 1 for my grocery essentials (that's ok) and the other for the 'bilin'. Grabe, 5kg of clothes, celeteque moisturizers, napkins again, medicine, belt, cellphone headset. Waah.

When I got back on Sunday, like most of the OFW, I had the 'depression' syndrome, withdrawal. Backsliding. The break from the usual momentum is making me hard to adjust. Sakit sa K (katamaran).


Bday Aftermath:
Somehow crossing the 25-age meter last year marks the beginning of real adolescence, and probably the time when you stop being a kid and start thinking about what lies ahead. Back then, I don't know what I really want to do, but one thing's for sure is that I'm not satisfied. 'Life should be better than this' - keeps repeating at the back of my mind. For one, working in my previous company is not a job that I want to be in for a long time, too many weird people who feels they are UBER good, it's like a lot of people are playing their own superhero and villain pathetic roles with masks on their faces. :p Anyway, cant blame them as they need such to survive. Well the last team I was part of was really extremes. (wehehe pero bka d2 ulit kabagsakan kong company if I decide to go back waah) Another thing - probably at the corners of my mind (or any sane and normal girl you'd ask), I also hope to find my life time partner. Crazy but yes, I used to hope that I'd get married at age 25 and have kids haha. Unfortunately, I dont seem to see any clear signs. So off I took the plunge into the deep waters (lalim). I finally had the courage to break the monotony and go somewhere else to lead a new life.

Right now I still dont know if this is right. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and can't believe I'm not in my usual home, asking myself 'hey am I really doing this?' At least there are things to look forward to, things to keep me sane. So probably as I hop into 26, I can manage to smile and say 'life is good'. (nag-advertise pa tlaga ng blog) hehe. And to add.. 'life is good and it should keep getting better'. :p
