RD Mode On

Summer is still on although the month of May is nearly over. I love spending my rest days enjoying this wonderful view plus the weather today is perfect to stay home and bathe my cat Atari. Summer is also the 'flea season' so twinnie and I make sure to give our cat a good bath at least once a week if possible, to somehow ease the discomfort. I don't get enough sleep everyday, I'm not sure if it's just the weather or it's just not normal to sleep while the sun is still up? My work shift starts on wee hours of the morning and ends at noon so imagine how painful it is for my eyes to stare at the sky without wearing sunnies. I'm not a vampire anymore since I'm no longer in the graveyard shift but I guess I'm still enduring its side effects! I'm not a morning person nor a night owl so I don't really know what works for me. What I love about the morning is that I can be like any normal human being. I can run errands after my shift and wander around the city. When I was in GY I can sleep really late. I can go to the marketplace early in the morning after my shift to buy fresh produce or take a morning jog. I make the most of my rest days at home by doing my nails, fixing my brows and eating healthy if possible. Am I being productive? Lol. What I like about my life here up north is that it's more laid back compared to my life in the south where everything moves pretty fast and there's no room for people to slow down or you'll get lost in the jungle city. I don't wrestle with traffic unless it's the tourist season in the summer capital of the Philippines! But for the most part, life here is chill as the weather. 

Early Bird

Good friggin morning. So why am I up this early again? Well, it's my day off and I'm just making the most out of it, I guess. I slept around 5PM yesterday. Every week is like the longest week of my life for some reason and I can't wait to get plenty of sleep and rest. I miss my bed so much. I'm in love with my bed and someday we'll be together forever! 

Thank God it's pay day weekend I'm done with my shopping spree (wow, really?). People are flooding the mall because of the 3-day sale that my sister also took advantage of as well she got herself a real cute jacket with 20% off (I'm not envious, snort). Anyhow, twin sissy and I didn't find the nail art stall we're looking for inside this local mall so we're a little upset but I'm over it somehow I just bought a cheap nail polish so I can just paint my nails later. I also got myself an eye shadow palette. 

I hate the idea of having to work, can I just get paid for doing nothing? I wish it's that simple because work can be a little too much. For now, I'll just chill and enjoy the rest of my rest day while I still can.

Fix Ya

It's my day off. The only thing that I love about this four by eleven shift is the three days off, nothing else. I've not much to do, good thing my sister told me that there is something wrong with the Photo Viewer on our computer called Nero Photosnap. The problem is we can't view photos so I did a little research until I found a very useful link from one of the forums that I read. I re-configured some plug-ins that made it work. However, I also noticed that the ad plug-ins that used to appear on the right pane of Yahoo Mail is not showing anymore it says "page cannot be displayed" so I tried the "restore advanced settings" fix and it worked right immediately so everything is back to normal. I guess I'm learning a lot in tech support. 

Let me just share about the movie I watched recently entitled Persepolis. This is a monochrome animation based on a novel written by the director herself Marjane Satrapi who also happens to be the main character in the story. The movie is about the coming of age of a young girl during the war in Iran and the country's struggle for freedom. It's quite a bore at first but if you pay close attention to its English subtitles (it's dubbed in French) it tackles sensitive issues that concern women and freedom of expression. Marjane's character amused me because she is the rebellious type of girl who made a mistake at some point in her life but managed to pull herself together. to sum it up Persepolis is a story of struggle in war, love, and life in general. It's a pretty good movie for me.
