My Day Started with a Warm-Light Welcome

I came in a little bit earlier than my colleagues today. It wasn't so early, it was already around 9:10 on my watch. Odd. Only half of the lights in the office were open. I liked it.

It wasn't so bright. The half darkness brought about a certain welcome not a lot of people would appreciate. But I did. The light was warm, it was inviting. I greeted my boss a good morning and plopped down my seat...ran my passwords and waited for the email to replicate from the server. To save time, I heated my sandwich and prepared myself a cup of Swiss Miss.

Aaaah, I think I am going to like this day.

Yet, there's something nagging at the back of my mind. I can't place a finger on it though. Vague little voice.

I look to my left and I see my "Essential Mathematics for Economics and Business" textbook for APMATH class. Ugh, Homework. I haven't started yet. Crammer. Ha! And I wrote in my introduction that I'll do what it takes to do well in the course. Tsk, old habits just die hard. I'll try to study in a little while.

I check my mail. No new mail. Great. Absolutely wonderful. This will leave me a couple of hours to study later. Would it? I have to kick this habit of procrastinating. It's not helpful at all.

Sigh. There are a mixture of thought-lets on my brain right now. "Let's watch a movie." "I want to go back to my reading of Wicked" "Work" "Study" "Pay those expats!" "Say something" "Do something" "Move" "Smile" "Be happy" "Laugh"

My body's unresponsive.

Listening to Regina Spektor's Samson... "You are sweetest downfall..."

Still unresponsive.

Now, it's Gary V. playing on the Windows Media Player...how's that for advertising...

Sigh.

Let's see if I can get something done.

I'm still looking forward to liking this day.

My Pride and Joy

After 6 years of work, this is only about 1/6 of the whole picture. But still, it's relaxing to stitch each X and try to form something out of the pattern. Ala lang. hahah natuwa ako eh paki nyo ba? :D

on coming back to work and other things...

It's the first day of work after a long long weekend. It hasn't been starting so well. But I guess that's how it is when you come from a long vacation. Things get a little bit hazy and you forget how to do some things. hehe

Mom and I went to Baguio with Ivy and Auntie Mary for a few days. For the first time in 10 years, I missed the cemetery ritual. I didn't get my yearly November tan from being out in the sun all day, playing with candles. Instead, I spent the days on my comfortable bed, sleeping.

On the hours that I am awake, I spent some time playing games on the computer (pasas life as in) and working on my 6 year old cross stitch. 6 years old and it's barely 1/6 done. But each stitch counts I guess and I am happy that I was able to add a few this time.

My cousin accidentally put some beauty marks (also known as scars, sniff) on my pretty new phone the other day... waaaahh.. But then, again, it's what going to make it different from now on I guess. :) Unexpected things. Life.

Later's my first day of school again. I don't like introduction days. They scare me. I don't like introducing myself. I like people getting to know me though. Weird.

Lot's of work. Going back to it.

Hopefully this time, I'd understand what I'm reading. Ugh.
