Happy Trick or Treat

It's a busy day today, twin sissy and I woke up early and work out together. Supposedly, we'll hear mass at Quiapo Church after our weekend morning routine but we had a change of plans when our elder sister texted me to meet up her and our niece at the mall. I hate going to the mall especially during the last day of sale it's too crowded not to mention that it's the eve of Halloween so expect kids in costumes, trick or treating. I'm just wondering why they call it "trick or treat" when obviously no one dares do to a trick. 

Today is the last day of my leave but I'm still off from work tomorrow so I can finally go to Quiapo Church to hear mass I had it postponed again today we left the gym around noon and I prefer a morning mass. I think I have accomplished a lot so my time off was worth it. Of course it's payday weekend, time for shopping yay!

Emoti-Me

Rest day + 2 days on leave + interim off, awesome! I filed my leave last week just out of whatever. Well, everyone at the office is going on leave why can't I? I'm supposedly saving my leaves for December but who cares now? I just wanna give myself a break. I'm no heroine I can't save the queue, darn it. 

I'll be real busy on my time off so I'm looking forward to it. Anyways, I got all the ear candies I ordered online via Multiply yay! I'm happy they're real cute,  I love all of it. I was scouring the web for some cool stuff when I came across these "emotibuds" from a Multiply site that sell Ipod charms. I got excited I fell in love instantly with these cute emotibuds so I placed an order immediately before they ran out. They're so cool and cute as a button I imagined myself wearing 'em on my headphones. 

It's pay day tomorrow, music to my ears. 

Here Comes the Rain Again

It's raining all day our weather notifier says that the sky is overcast and it feels like 29 degrees celcius today. It rained this morning just when I'm about to leave the house to go to the gym...great. But that didn't stop me from working out I feel like I need sweat out. So, I work out by myself despite the heavy rain. The sun came out for a few minutes then it started drizzling again as soon as I left the gym. 

I checked out Royal Sporting, a factory outlet in Crossing that sells brands like Reebok, Umbro and Vanss sporting shoes and other stuff like bags, shirts, etc. for a much cheaper price located just across Elorde. I had to use the foot bridge to get there I find it kinda scary it's like I'm going to fall or something. Anyway, I didn't find anything nice that's worth buying I head over to Edsa Central instead and bought myself a Celloshine from HBC. I colored my hair "red wine" I'm happy, I liked it. 

I had "tortang egg" with lettuce and crushed chilli pepper the one from Yellow Cab, we collect them it gives any dish a spicy twist. I goes well with toast for lunch. I finished all my chores early I had plenty of time to surf the Internet and rest. Sissy and I craved McDo for dinner we ordered twister fries and chicken nuggets. I miss eating fast food sometimes but I can't give up my diet, no way and not anymore. Losing this much weight never felt so good.

Ear Candy

I woke up early and finished my work out before lunch time. I had a good one it was worth all the sweat I feel light again. After my work out I dropped by at David's Salon to get a haircut I thought somebody else will do my hair thank God my hairstylist was just on time he arrived while the receptionist/assistant is blow drying my hair. I love my new haircut I'm happy with it so I gave my hairstylist a tip for a job well done. It's lunchtime when I got home I had my favorite Pecho meal or PM 2 to go from Mang Inasal. I got hungry from working out earlier I devoured my food immediately. Before leaving for the supermarket Manong guard hand me a package I got excited I hurriedly open it and found out that it's the ear candy I ordered online. I almost forgot I had I got excited I took off my old studs and put it on. I'm expecting another pair next Friday I'll be a lot happier if only I can get it sooner.  

Shoot, I forgot that it's the start of the three day sale at SM Megamall I fell in line for almost two hours to get a ride home. Bummer.

Toxic

Rest day + payday tomorrow, yay! Work is becoming so toxic, I hate it. I come to work just to wait for my days off and payday. Can it get any more obvious? I love my job (with much sarcasm) I say that while banging my head on the wall. Just how I'm feeling these days and pardon me if I've been ranting a lot I just have to so I can let this out of my head. 


I slept for a couple of hours but still a little tired. I'm enjoying my newfound hobby, shopping for cutesy earrings online. It's keeping me busy recently. It's like a therapy y' know. No better cure for burn out I guess but finding something that makes you happy than to dwell on nonsense. I'm excited I can't wait for my ear candies to arrive.

No Rice

Another rest day is almost over. As usual, I work out in the morning then finished all household chores a few hours ago so it's mission accomplished for me. I had 10 hours of sleep today I got totally exhausted from yesterday. Imagine, I worked out after my shift, bought groceries after and did our laundry. I swear to I'm not going to work out after my shift again. Rule of thumb, don't work out if you haven't had sleep yet or you'll end up ready to pass out good thing mind over matter prevailed I told myself I can't collapse at the gym that would be totally embarrassing. 


Tell you what, I survived without rice for a week believe it or not. I usually eat rice during my cheat day which is the day before I work out but I just don't feel like eating rice for a week. I lost a couple of pounds this week I'm happy about it.

Hello October

Oh great, the sun is finally out it's been hiding half of the day. I'm done with my usual day off routine: work out in the morning and house cleaning in the afternoon. I just had two pieces of Skyflakes for lunch I can't eat rice anymore I already did yesterday plus fast food because twin sissy and I went to the mall yesterday to buy some stuff. 

I filed my leave for November two days ago I haven't been on leave for a month to focus on my metrics... my what? yes, you read it right, my metrics believe it or not. I failed CSat last month so I was under pressure to pass this month. Here comes October, new month, new stats and new challenges. "Ber" month is up again which means that Christmas is just around the corner hopefully I don't get to work on Christmas and New Year's eve or else I'm not going to be happy I don't friggin' care about holiday pay at all, please. 

Best Cardio

I love it when I sweat a lot I know that I'm burning calories which is definitely a good thing unlike before I get totally irritated when I perspire especially when I'm wearing make-up it makes me feel like I'm melting. They say that wearing makeup while working out is not good for the face but I can't help it I look like a zombie without it. Going back to boxing, this sport did not just help me lose weight but it taught me discipline. I've been boxing for 8 months now, I'm happy with the end result. I feel stronger and healthier.

Coffee and Some Movies

Another gloomy day. It's been raining a lot these past few days according to the news that a typhoon or maybe it's just monsoon rains I'm really not sure. The weather is becoming more and more unpredictable, just like my state of mind. Maybe it's just lack of sleep or something. 

I was home by 3:30 in the morning then stayed awake for 2 hours thanks to 7eleven's French Vanilla coffee. I did my usual stuff online like checking my emails, my DeviantArt, facebook, etc. 

I saw an advertisement regarding getting paid just by answering surveys I got curious when I saw testimonials from people who started working from home and get paid via check just by answering surveys online. Sounds promising eh? My intuition tells me that I shouldn't fall for this crap right away so I did my own research and found out that there are scams. Some are for real but anything wanting you to shell out money is definitely not worth a try for sure there's something fishy about it. I decided to give it a try I signed up anyway for free to some websites I'll find out myself if this is all bull or if I'm going to get something extra out of it so I'll wait and see. 

I went out earlier to deposit twin sissy's check she can't do it she's kind of tied up this week she can't drop by at the bank. I checked out Liberty Center just a few blocks away I had lunch at Mang Inasal's Pecho Pac for takeaway I'm so stuffed I'm not having dinner anymore. I'll go boxing tomorrow to burn all the calories I put into my system this week.

I feel pretty despicable today. I watched the movie "From Within" (2008) that I downloaded last week I want to see how different is Thomas Dekker in this movie after I fell in love with his character as "Taylor," a cancer patient in "My Sister's Keeper" just to get disappointed with this one. It's another boring and lame suspense movie, really. I didn't like it at all I should've watched "Resident Evil" first even if the copy is not good yet it's a cam rip I can't find any DVD rip yet.

Work is becoming such a pain in the neck I only come to work for the heck of it, wait for my rest/pay day. Can I just get paid without having to work hard? 

Sucker

Home alone. I'm off from work God knows how tired I am this week. Five days of work is like forever because of the neverending queue not to mention the "snake seating" rule that's absurdly annoying to me. I hate the fourth floor  of our company's office it's too cold in there. There's no pantry and the noise is just unbearable. I'm also a little pressured with my CSat (customer satisfaction) score it's below the passing rate last month so I have to make up for this month. This whole CSat bridge (like a probation thing) doesn't make sense to me. I hate it when I worked my ass off just to get a low score for a misdirected survey. Well, at least I'm not desperate enough to do magic just to get a high score. My point is, I think the management should investigate agents who are getting very high scores and tons of survey returns because they might doing something. A song goes "I work in a call center, until something better comes my way," sad but true. 

I only had four hours of sleep. I took care of our laundry and cleaned the house as well. I can see dust crawling everywhere I can't stand it. I craved for Mc Do so I ordered cheese burger meal and caramel sundae from for brunch I don't know why I didn't enjoy it I'm thinking my appetite isn't happy with fastfood anymore? I don't know but if that's the case then good. I'm working out tomorrow so I'm not worried. We ran out of Fitshape my sister orders from her officemate and was promised that she'll get it tomorrow I hope so, I can't live without it anymore. 

Restless Rest Day

It's the second day of my interim off I don't want to be stuck at home yesterday so I met up with my elder sister at Robinson's Place Metro East to give her something important it was real quick we never had a chance to talk. Not to waste time since I haven't been to that mall for the longest time and I'm still feeling a little tired I decided to stroll around to see if I'll find any cool pouch bag but to no avail. I checked out Sta. Lucia Mall just beside this mall but I didn't find anything there that interest me either, too bad.



Commuting from Mandaluyong to Marcos Highway isn't very convenient for me anymore because it's going the opposite direction from where I live now. When my family still live near Antipolo Cathedral everything is pretty accessible. Jeepney and TX terminals are literally just a few steps away from our house but things changed through the years our main house is no longer a residential space it became a ladies boarding house/commercial space. My parents and brother are now residing in Baguio they come down occasionally if dad has some business to take care of in Manila or if he needs to check on my other siblings living in our house along Sumulong highway. I think if I have my own car things would be a lot easier.



I'm supposed to spend my rest day Sumulong to see my 2-year old niece and personally give her the cake I promised but my sister's got sore eyes again. I don't know how many times she had that sore eyes since she was a kid. She's very prone to catch all sorts of airborne viruses for some weird reason so I can't stay there. 




Before going home to the apartment that my twin sister and I are renting, I dropped by at SM Megamall and finally found myself a cute pouch bag in Bench, at last. I'm starving I thought I'd try the food at this new Japanese restaurant called Karate Kid where Ohana, the Hawaiian barbeque restaurant stood before. I loved Ohana's "BBQ porkchop" when they're still there, it tastes so darn good too bad they're gone too soon.


I ordered Karate Kid's "Japanese creamy chicken pasta" and I enjoyed it. The creamy part is good, the carbonara sauce has a good texture and the portion is not too big nor small for my appetite it's almost perfect except on the chicken part I noticed that they're not generous enough with chicken pops but it's not too big of a deal the taste compensated for it. I so love their iced punch tea I regret not having the bottomless option it left me wanting for more, sigh. If you're craving for Japanese food and want something more affordable than Tokyo Tokyo I suggest you try Karate Kid just for kicks, the food is just as good.


I did some laundry, had my nails done and last but not the least, movie marathon. Thanks to my friend who gave me two disks of movies I haven't downloaded yet. My favorite so far is My Sister's Keeper from the director of The Notebook Nick Cassavetes. This is a real good movie I bet even if you have a heart hard as a rock it'll soften and leave you mellow, in a good way. For the movie's synopsis, click here. By the way, Kate's (Anna's elder sister) boyfriend Taylor portrayed by Thomas Dekker, is a cutie despite his baldness and lack of eyebrows I kinda liked his character. I didn't know of his existence as an actor and that he even starred in movies like "Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) and From Within (2008) hadn't I watched this movie. Btw, I checked out the trailer of "From Within" I find it interesting I'm going to download it later.


I guess that's it for now.
