no HK for now...

So our long awaited planned shopping trip to Hongkong won't be pushing through. Marcy backed out the last minute. Apparently, she has some plans in the near future that has to do something with the need to not spend money for now. Now, Chase and I were talking about it and we were planning on pushing through with the HK trip if Marcy backs out (which she did eventually...). However, just this afternoon, unfortunately, he lost some money - which he wants (and probably has) to pay back. Long story... the gist is that, his parents asked him to pick up something and the money got lost somewhere in between.

Oh well. Maybe I'm not meant to go to HK this time. Let me look for something else to do before I fly off.

dumating na ang visa

Dumating na ang much awaited (or dreaded?) Visa. Awaited kasi matagal nang hinintay para makapunta na ulit sa Canada, dreaded dahil magkakahiwalay na naman kami ni Chase ng ilang buwan. Mahirap, pero alam kong ito'y isang magandang opportunity para sa akin, kaya kailangan muna nang kaunting sakripisyo.

baguio with chase

Holy week's over and my original plan of spending time with Chase and his family in Baguio pushed through. Although I only stayed in Baguio for 1 and a half day, still I think it was worth it. I got to meet Chase's friends, we got to drive around, see some sights with his family. Spending time with Chase in Baguio was a very different experience compared to me going to Baguio with friends. I guess I get to see the place from a different perspective. I don't know if that makes sense, but I just feel happy thinking that Chase got his chance to finally show me around the place he calls home.

My comments on New Moon

I have only two comments for this book:

1. Could there be any weaker protagonist than Bella? That character is so weak to the point that I find it very disturbing. The author writes a lot of Bella's feeling in the book and I don't know if one would ever feel that... lost? All because of a teenage romance gone kaputs. I guess it wasn't just a case of infatuation for both of them.

2. I don't know if I still want to read the next book after this, but I will just have to - as I already bought book 3 and 4.

going to baguio...if...

If I can get a ticket this late.

I've been contemplating about going to Baguio for the past week to surprise Chase. He's always asked me to come to Baguio with him whenever he went there for a vacation and the last time I did was around 2 or 3 years ago? And so when he asked this last time, we even had a fight about it, with him telling me that it seemed that I really didn't want to go with him to Baguio because I always had some excuse not to come along.

So that made me think, and think real hard why I haven't really been joining him there, even though not every trip, but at least once or twice? I can't pinpoint exactly why I didn't join him all this time, but this time around, I really want to be there with him.

So later, after work, I will check out available tickets to Baguio. Hopefully I can still get one friday early morning (as I want to join my family with our annual bisita iglesia). Hopefully I'll be able to get a ticket. And hopefully he'll be happy to see me there. Haha


** update **
I was able to get tickets. I couldn't decide 4am or 5am. So I ended up buying 5 am bus.

schedule and gym

My attempt to start going to the gym last January failed after a month long "gym-ing". For some reason, tinamad na talaga ako after that, kahit naiinis na ako na feel ko ang bigat bigat ko na. Tapos narealize ko, night shift can make you eat a lot more - isipin mo na lang, I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and then midnight snack - habang night shift. I have no idea what's happening with me.

Good thing though, there's a new gym being constructed in our office. So once it's all up and running, I'd most likely and hopefully sign up and be a gym rat altogether. I think it's going to be a nice setup because I usually get in early anyway at work, let's say around 11 and official work actually starts around 12 midnight or 1 am. This may actually work.

On the other hand, probably in a couple of weeks, I'd be trying working on an early morning shift. See if I prefer that one over this schedule I have right now.
