tayong dalawa

I am currently wathching "Tayong Dalawa" and they just finished the scene when JR and Audrey bumps to each other in the airport and they end up just staring at each other, some sort of love at first sight thing.

I mean, does that really happen? When you stop in your tracks cause you see this one person and you guys just stare at each other? Is that reality?

But, just to say, this show has chops. Story seems nice. At least we have another one of those drama soap operas instead of the fantasy shows.

gym day

Kahit pagod na pagod ako at antok na antok from last night's work (one of the most sleepy work days since I started night shift!), napilit ko pa din sarili ko na pumunta sa gym! Good thing, kasi medyo ginanahan katawan ko. Sana ay tuloy tuloy na ito, at hindi ako tamarin. Aminado naman akong tamad ako. Hahaha

Anyway, this time around, nag up na reps. 15 reps na, tapos medyo dumagdag yung # of sets. For sure sakit na naman katawan ko tomorrow.

gym!

I finally did it, went and signed up just for a month's worth in the gym.
See if I can get myself disciplined to go to the gym regularly.

I had my first session earlier and it's just for conditioning. Did a total of 30 minutes walking, and a couple of weights. Trainer said we'd be doing some conditioning activities for the next 2-3 sessions, especially since I haven't had official exercise for quite a while.

Will be going back Thursday (sana hindi tamarin!)

stuck again

I did something stupid again.
I told myself I won't be playing in the stock market for a while.
And lo and behold, I just couldn't resist, I bought this one stock, and now I'm stuck once again.

Medical Checkup, etc

Last Monday I had my medical checkup as required by the Canadian embassy for my work visa. The company is planning to send us back to Vancouver asap, especially since we have the first release coming this March. I decided to go to the Nationwide Health just located at the back of Makati medical to have my checkup.

Each check up costs 4000. Good thing for me, that's reimbursable. But if you look at how many people come in there to get their medicals for the embassy, and each is paying 4000 pesos? This medical facility is bulging with money.

Just goes to show that there are a lot of Filipinos who are indeed attempting to migrate, or work abroad. The way I'm seeing things is that, a husband works as an OFW and then eventually is able to bring his family there altogether. Or at least someone wants to work or live there looking for greener pastures.

I saw these two families (wife plus 3 kids), and another (husband + 2 kids). Not to be a bit judgmental, but they don't look the type who can easily afford just to go to Canada for vacation. They're the typical Filipino family of this generation. One family member works abroad to earn for his family, and then eventually gets to take them together in the country where he/she now how has a stable environment.

It is interesting how many people want to get out of this country. I have to admit, at first I really wanted to. Especially after seeing what's it like to work and live there, it's really a beautiful place to settle down. But when I came back from my 5 month stint there, I realized that there really is no place like home. Maybe if my family were there, I would be there too. But while they are here, I'd probably stay put here as well.

New Year, New Pedestal too

Chase and I went to Galleria yesterday to go to Blims to check out some pedestals for my room. I've been wanting to get rid of an old table I have here but can't since I still have no place to put the stuff that are in the drawers there. And now that I have this pedestal, I can finally fix up my stuff.

Here's the nice looking pedestal:

Pedestal

It matches the new table I also bought a few weeks back. It feels nice to have nice tables and cabinets as part of the mini office I'm setting up here. I think I need a new chair as well. Hahaha

New Year, New Do

It's a new year once again.
And this year, I wanted it to start differently. So yesterday, December 31, 2008, last day of the year, I got a haircut.

And this is no ordinary and regular trim. I got it cut short... really short. Almost boy-cut type. And I'm loving it. Bye bye maintenance (although as if I take care of my hair in the first place). That's why this cut is good for me. And the nice thing about it, I've had pretty good feedback so far. This is the first time I have this kind of a haircut so it might shock people.

So...
Start the new year right and feeling good. And hopefully the year will be as good, or even better than last year.
