:: facials, spa, gym, & friendster::

An amazing thing happened over the weekend...
I was able to relax... :-)
Though I was working the whole day Saturday, again... it wasn't really that bad since I had the night to look forward to... I had the night planned out for my much needed sleep!!! And lucky for me, i had a cool rainy night... *sigh* Nice...
It was almost noon by the time I woke up the next day... Nice...
I woke up, had something to eat, had a shower, read a book, and dozed off... After dozing off, I decided to go to the spa near my building, but unfortunately, the place was booked... so I decided to have a facial instead, I opted for the tea tree oil treatment & the seaweed mask afterwards... Dreamy... All except for the pricking of course... Damn that hurts... But if that hurt, it was nothing compared to the threading that they did on my eye brows!!!! OUCHY!!! now THAT friggin hurt like HELL!!! I swear to god i was in tears... Even afterwards, just thinking about it made me teary eyed just remembering the pain I went thru with that... *sigh* the pain that we have to go thru for beauty... *sigh*

Another amazing thing also happened this weekend! =)
I met up with some really old friends of mine from my RHS Days - thru Friendster!!! I guess it truly is amazing what technology AND Friendster can do! =) I initially joined Friendster, well, basically just for the hang of it since everybody I hear has an account with them... I didn't really expect anything out of it, i thought it was another one of those e-group-like sites. But when I connected with other friends so forth... well, it was quite amusing. And just this weekend, I connected with at least 4 people from my past... It was nice to know that even after all these years, they still remember me... Cool... Hehe

Anyway, I'm at work... Yet again... But at least I'm smiling now. =)

:: ranting and raving ::

it's been a while since my last entry...
and that wasn't even really an entry, more like just a copy of an entry from my previous blog... anyway... =)

i'm at work yet again... i'm always at work damnit!
i've been working every single day for the past three weeks... i was supposed to have my long break (finally!) this week, but "unfortunately" a colleague of mine got sick and we had to cover the shift... been doing 16 hours log on the job for most of the days this week... tiring as it is, i'm also fuming about how I have to be here working when i'm not even supposed to be here...

 
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate it!!!!! But i'm still here, aint' got a choice about it. Actually I do, although resigning over this is just too fickle and well, i can't afford to not have my job at the moment...

 

whooosh.... whoosh... whoosh.... whoosh.... whoosh....

I don't even want to dwell on that...
I was able to unwind last night with some good friends... Dinner and a good chit chat was a good thing for me... I NEED A VACATION!!!!

:: See Negativities as Opportunities ::

View all problems as challenges. Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow. Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence. You have a problem? Great. More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.

-Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"


hmm...
something that i should ponder on...

:: mid-year review for 2004 ::

-New Year... New Beginnings...


~*February*~
*Valentines Day* - Spent Vday with my girls - Paty, Sol, & Maila. Planned a getaway weekend out of town to pass the much dreaded day of hearts. Decided to go to cool Tagaytay where we thought nobody else would go. But turns out that everybody else had the same idea! Not only that, we thought we'd escape the whole "heart's" day, but Vday in Tagaytay is their town fiesta and it's also tagged as "Heart's Day". It was pretty hilarious, but I must say it was a fun weekend. We visited the quaint restaurants, enjoyed the scenery, and even went to a very nice monastery where Sol would like to get married.
