charlene goes on and on.

today is shopping day that's why i'm still happy tho a bit tired because i wasn't able to sleep before i my class tonight. my sisters shopped their own stuffs too and deb is happy about the new store the big shop haha finally she found the right shopping haven. i bought new accessories, a cute necklace and a nice bangle (to those who know me, they know how much i love cuff bangles esp the bangle that my mom got me from africa). i bought 2 cute skirts from mng, one red skirt with white flowers design and the other black and white skirt abstract design. Since ammahal and i ran out of cash due to my impulsiveness, i promise to be back to buy the blue flats and another sling bag from mng. ate and ato were here a while ago. i missed my nephew soo much. He's really cute and big boy na :). He knows a lot of things to do. super sarap ihug ni ato hehe. so there gotta say good mornight na, i really am too tired now but anyhow im happy! :D

I went to elbi yesterday and for the first time I liked the weather, cold-windy-but-not-so-gloomy day. At last im done with it yey! At dahil happy kami, Yana, Camille, Dan, ate princess and I went to Paseo to have dinner and some good pasyal time. Master Red, bawi next time, promise! I missed our last sem late night getaways! Natuwa kami kay kuya sa Grilla haha! Then, super picture time, thanks Yana! I had so much fun, i thank you all i hope you enjoyed the food too. :) I spent the night in our apartment and I missed my bed too. That's the first after two months i think. Halatang namiss ko matulog dun I woke up at around 8:30am, quite late for my 6am daily routine haha pagising ko nakauwi ni si camille after ng first class niya. I feel so happy, I missed out goodmorning greetings, haha!

I should be productive this day. I need to get this done or else history will repeat itself and I cant let that happen. I just had breakfast with fruitcake as my dessert, now i feel sleepy maybe because of the rum. Excuses, haha! I got a new Bhs shirt from mommy but i dont like the color that much, green, again. I have lots of green in my closet and i think its too much :)). She bought me mng top too tho it looks like pretty much the same as the last one she gave me. Its ok, thanks mommy, i love you! Speaking, I dont like the idea that H&M is a bit known now, in the Philippines. They have one of the nicest clothes esp their plain shirts and dresses! I have nothing against new people loving it, I just dont like the idea. Anyhow, I think I know now what I will get next from mommy haha :). Summer pleeease come nooow!

Okay, so out of my december boredom i made this kiddie painting which i used as a side-table mat heehee! just sharing :D

Holidays are now over and I should go back to loving greens. I had been eating a lot because of the holidays. I gained a lot of weight again urgh. Too much parties, eating, and that christmas holiday season drinks from sbucks. Tho most people dont like Toffee nut Latte, idc, is still my all time favorite. The barista told me last night that the christmas promo was extended. I thought the concern is just all about the stickers and I got my planner already so I didn't pay much attention to her. After we got our orders I just then realized that Toffee nut is still available, but its too late, crap. Okay so back to what's-up-with-me-lately, yes, i am working now. I think its kind of a part time job only but still worth calling a job and im loving it. Much thanks to Dianne who introduced rare job to me. I can't think of myself waiting for June to come doing nothing. I have to work to break the monotony of my life :)). I have to have something to look forward too everyday. I have to be busy. I tried to get a call center job and during the contract signing i backed out because they do have a shit called bond. I need to work with them for a certain time or if not ill be paying them 20k. Is it what you call a job? I don't think so. I consulted my Mom and she told me not to pursue it any more because I know my self that I will resign the moment i get tired and hey there's medschool waiting for me too. The same day (the contract signing day), Rare job called me, had a phone interview and scheduled me for a mock lesson. After 2 days i got in. And now, I'm an English teacher and loving my work so much. Who wouldn't love this kind of work? We are paid hourly,  its an on-line home-based work so all i need is my laptop and the internet, time of work is also flexible so we set our own schedule, no travel and clothing expenses, and NO tax. You can earn as much as what you can have as a call center agent but the difference is less hours of work and you talk with kind people, no shouting and irate customers hahaha. I dont want to work just to be scolded. Im having a fun time with my work now, its addictive. Everyday i always look forward to teach and talk with them (not to mention i have a favourite student lol). It feels good also to have loyal students. I got 26 bookmarks too in my first 13 days, no cancellation ratio, good evaluation score, and zero dissatisfaction percentage :).

What about the Christmas and New Year's Day celebration? Deb and I are the "punong abala" for the christmas eve dinner preparation. we did not let daddy get busy with food stuff because he's leaving immediately after noche buena. He has a flight going to Doha at 6am so we he have to leave the house off to naia at 2:30am. I was happy that Daddy was able to spend christmas with us and with mom and joy too. It was still morning of Christmas day when he arrived in Doha, thanks for the 5 hours time difference. Same goes with New Year's eve dinner. We cooked a lot of foods too. Of course our fruit salad tradition is always there. Here are some pictures: Christmas 2009 and New year.

We had an elementary reunion last Dec 27 at Pier One tomas morato. Thanks JV and Anne for the pictures. Fun fun fun. But i think we still did not have enough time. I wasn't able to talk much with some people. I wish to see them again, esp my school service mates!

Haha, and also, I bought a book last jan2, the title is "How to Be Single"! It's written by Liz Tuccillo :). Yesterday the book I bought from ebay was delivered here too. He's not just that into you is the title.Yes i think ive become a fan of her and greg behrendt. Liz is a writer and consultant of Sex and the City ;).  What i like most about them is that they're very straightforward. You're like being slapped on the face, haha and sometimes tough love is good, right? -- :).
