or to blog about but amnow crying please give me some more time. i am wishing am spending 24 hours here in the office downstairs so that i can still have time to blog, to bloghop, and to join memes, visit meme participants.
I am not sure if i really have to worry about PR – but really am slacking these days. Not that i want to but because i don’t have time. Oh Mr. Santa, please send me a laptop this Christmas. Big or small – whatever as long as i can use up there in my new home. 
really…i have not yet settled. i still have very busy days that i dunno when i can sit down and relax infront of the computer and write down my thoughts.
i had a long weekend and it was also a busy one.
Saturday evening, went swimming. I posted about the place and showed photos, too – HERE.
Sunday we went touring around two places here in Iligan and i know it’s worth sharing in my travel blog, so watch out for it.
For the mean time, please enjoy our swimming photos.
Opssss by the way, another thing to share (photos to follow – hopefully tomorrow lunch time) we won (our group GOLDEN FALCONS) in the BELEN/LANTERN contest. We are sooo sooo happy. Though i was not there to jump up and down with happiness.
Before i log off, let me share this photo with all of you -
- i wish i know how to pout. lol -
more photos here.
Am here waving my hand!
Id like to grab these few minutes to think and to write i am thinking. I think my last post was of the other day. I had a long day yesterday so there was no update. Id just like to share what’s up since i moved to the dorm.
I had a fun time waking up at 5:30 after my alarm sounds. Then i had to reach for the buzzer button to give the first warning that our worship will be in 15 minutes. I then get out of bed and do some stretching in the lobby and enjoy the cool breeze and the early morning view below. The dorm lobby faces the front building of the hospital and beyond it is the highway. I have a nice view of the sky from 4 angles (north, south, east, west) but haven’t took time to snap yet. I was still adjusting to my schedule eh.
Gone are the days of waking up at 7 am or at times 7:30 am and try to move like a lighting to avoid tardiness. hahaha. Gone are my late night TV viewing, too because i don’t have TV in the room. Though there’s a tube in the worship hall yet, there are so many students watching it when the Dean allows. Last night, they were sort of punished because the TV was left on for they dunno how many hours but the Dean caught it ON and no one’s viewing. So she locked it and when they request for viewing they were disapproved.
There is a nightly checking of attendance in every room. Take note, there are 10 rooms to check. For the past two nights, we checked at 11 but last night we did it a bit earlier like 10:30. It was more a relaxing one for me as i was beginning to get the hang of the routine and also am starting to memorize some names and faces. It was relaxing yet i was tired. I had really a long day. I arrived in the dorm at 8:30 in the evening already. Good thing the elevator was still working so i used the lift instead of the stairs.
Early checking means earlier time to bed too. I had a dreamless sleep last night and hearing the alarm sounds at 5:30 does not feel like a chore anymore.
Tomorrow, the sky photos i will be sharing will be ones taken from the dormitory floor (4th floor) of the building.
For now let me share some old photos taken June this year.
- filling up a waiver. no waiver means no rafting -
- just waiting for everyone – OH SO RED!
- gearing up! We are trying to help each other but her eyes are off somewhere -
- while waiting for the others to arrive -
- Do we look excited? -
All are excited to go into water but each one got different facial expression to show off their excitement. All of us enjoyed the 3 hrs ride down the river and one of the unforgetable rapids is called 4396508 or whirlpool one. It really felt like we were inside a washing machine. Though i was scared everytime we hit a rapids but still i want to go back if i have the chance.

There is an on going transport strike nation-wide today. Classes are suspended today here in our city. I dunno in other places. But here in Iligan, aside from the transport strike the bombing scare is also high, so for peace and safety of the students, there will be no class today. I was ecstatic but not so when we were told that no classes but we are told to report to office. That is why it is not so “yeheyy” hahaha.
I thought of going to the gym if this day is implemented holiday. Or i think going to the beach would be great. The weather is very fine.
Health update:
I caught the cold virus again. My nose is stuffed and i also feel uncomfortable in my ears. Am armored with several pieces of hanky though the sides of my nose is already reddish.
Farmtown update:
I purchased 3 lot sizes yesterday until the biggest. All i need now is to save a week or two weeks earning to buy a white house and maybe a pond. Need money too to buy more plots.
New Meme Update:
So far a handful joined and i hope that there will be more coming up today. If you have not joined yet, come by and join us.
I really don’t feel well now yet i wanna do things exciting. I feel like cooking but i dunno what to cook. I like to eat but dunno what i like to eat. hahaha
Anyway, am updating thinking that there’s someone out there who would like to know what’s up with me.
Opss another thing — i sang duet with someone at the CEU this morning. Tess and I sang “Trials That Make Pure Gold.” Ma’am Apple spoke on working values, the one we (secretaries) took up during the seminar last July 5.

6. What nickname/s did you hate the most in your childhood? None that i can remember of.
7. What haven’t you done in a long time? Buying stationeries and i miss watching a wide screened TV in flat panel mount like the one i experienced in Manila years back. I long to have one like that at home.
8. What do you enjoy doing? Aside from blogging because we all know we love to blog. — I enjoy taking pictures and now i enjoy dgscrapping too.
9. When you’re reading, do you sometime have to reread a section because your mind wandered? Yes i do that most of the time especially when i have to review a lot of things for exams or homeworks.

Yeah beginning today i will be working at home. I Just can’t say am on a total vacation coz if just at home it will be a boring one. So i’d better named it as work at home me until January 4. Because of the imposed long holidays, am one of those who were on forced leave beginning today.
Update on peace & safety – the city is still being watched. They caught two persons persons yesterday. No casualties reported though but it’s not enough to be relaxed…we still need to be alert.
We did not go to Cagayan de Oro yesterday. My no sleep the other night was really bad so i bargained with the kids to go to cdo on the 26th. It was only mom who left for the Christmas party.
Today am going out to the mall again to buy some Lysol disinfectant. Tomorrow, my sis will be coming home for the Christmas eve and for maybe a day. She continue staying with a friend when we had chicken pox break out here at home. But she wanted to be home for Christmas — it would be her first after 8 years.
My tooth? Haven’t seen the dentist yet but i am still eating antibiotics until the capsules will ran out of stock. The occassional pain now drag me to bed and moan in pain in private.
Am trying my best to update my blogs and i hope i can still do so these days although my daughter is my rival here in the use of the PC.
Oppsss? Hmmm none as of yesterday. I just hope that more will come after the holidays. It’s getting hot in here now so am off for a bath.
My daughter who was on holiday since Thursday is now doing her laundry. I made a bargain with my mom that she is not to wash dimple’s clothes during the holidays.
I made my online greetings last night – and i hope i can send it to you through email or through friendster. Just a simple thought from my home to your home.
And it’s still painful. I ate two 500 mg of Panadol just this evening and then an hour later i took Ampicillin. I just really dunno what to do. The malunggay pulp relieves only temporarily. Now i want to pluck this tooth out so that i can sleep. But anway, since i can’t sleep and though i can’t think well on what to write, i was able to post an update at my new blog. Yeah i got a new blog. heheheehe. It’s my hobby blog and i hope you can visit it sometimes – It’s called Dgiscrappin and Me.
I was out in the city today noon to post the gift for my manita and also bought some food supplies at the Gaisano. Something happened and you can read it as an Update on the Peace and Order of Iligan City. Just click on that link and read it there. Thanks.
For the record, i got a new haircut! The layer, slant, uneven cut..whatever! In short i have a new haircut. hahahaha. I remember the last time i had was last year, few months before i went to Bangkok. And my hair has been damaged all these months. It has turned dry and coarse and brittle. PLus the horrible hairfalling..believe me my falling hair is not just 5 pieces but it is a lump of hair especially after my bath. I just can’t afford for a hair treatment so i decided to have it a bit short and then next month will have it treated.
Let me try sleeping again…oh Lord, please help me get some sleep. Am off to cdo tomorrow with my mom and dimple. Uban uban lang gud bahala wala money. ehehhee
Sorry i missed many memes today except for Emerald Sunday.

I have a very bad toothache! I have a lot to share today because of an experience in going out to the city but this bad toothache is really hitting me bad. Am cranky now and ohhh i wish to scream. The thing is that the tooth looks good. There’s no hole that i can see but maybe there in deep there’s sth going on and it’s causing a horrible pain. As of today i have already gobbled 3 500mg/each Panadol and grrr it did not give me the relief from pain. Tomorrow am going to Cagayan de Oro with Dimple but if this pain would really give me a bad night tonight, then i won’t make it. For now i got a paste of malunggay stem in the gums covering the tooth where the pain is.
Will come back here once am well or when i can concentrate on what to write.
HOpe everyone are having a good week-end.
And hey i got a new haircut! 
I woke up to a cool morning. And even on my way to work, it was so cool that it reminds me of morning times past. I enjoyed walking down memory lane for some minutes.
I got a couple of things to do with my blogs and then in the afternoon we will be busy preparing what we are cooking to cook tomorrow morning for the seminar’s lunch. This is the thing when you have a boss that loves to cook because if they cook for office function, you the secretary would be their right hand. right?
So am off from here..be right back later.
Before this post is my WW entry and that is totally wordless. Details will be posted tomorrow in my Tell Me Thursday. I am submitting WW from this blog this week and next week from my other blog again. I decided to use them alternately so that i won’t be submitting two different blogs at one time.
Happy blogging to those who are going to blog to day and happy hibernating to those who are going to stay away from their pc today.

10. Pick an online friend. Only ONE. Tell me something about her. A link to her blog/site so we can take a peek! Mitch! We have been friends for 5 years now but we haven’t seen each other in real yet. I met her online while she was still single (engaged) til she got married, til she got pregnant, have a baby, and now a full time WAHM. We had the chance to exchange some gifts over the years but we haven’t met yet. Luckily my boyfriend have already met her husband in 2006 when he was on his way to see me. And if by chance he went back to Mitch home after the plane left them, they could have met. Lucky my guy coz he was also able to met Deye. Ako? Ala pa talaga. And soon, Mitch is off to India to spend a 2 months vacation.
She blogs alot, and she’s one of my inspiration to start blogging. Her main blog is When Silence Speaks. Then one day in the Philippines, she made another blog called SAHM-one. She got so many but will just mention these two.
