Creative Thoughts

Archive for January, 2009

My computer is always slow. It’s not the connection, but its the computer itself. It takes time to start up, plus there are times that the browser should slow down and if you keep clicking on it, it would freeze and eventually close losing the sites you’ve just opened and starting all over again.
I was writing a post for my celebrity website, hosted in wordpress famous circle when it happened. I was already at the end of my post and about to hit publish. That was a pretty long one, when my browser got stucked and stopped responding and I suddenly realized I lost all that I’ve written, or I thought so. I went back to wordpress frustrated, knowing I have to start all over again. Anyway, to save it all, I have a pretty good short term memory and I know what I have written so I know, I could write it all over again. Though, it was a total waste of time. When I checked in wordpress, there was the post I have written. It has been automatically saved, and I just have to edit it, add a picture then hit publish. I was very happy. I don’t have to write it all over again. Yahooooooo! Thank you WordPress. I know blogger has this feature, but I never expected wordpress to have it as well.
I also learned one more thing. I learned that will wordpress, you can schedule your posts. Meaning, you can set it to a future schedule, and just wait for that date for it to be published.
That’s a popular and helpful tool in blogger, and I also never really expected this to be present in wordpress. This would be very helpful for someone like me, who is very busy and doesn’t have the luxury of blogging every day.
It is great to know how to manipulate wordpress, which is known to be a platform more difficult and advanced than blogger.

We have less calls today. Yahooooo! Work is not so stressful, cause we can relax for minutes before taking on the next call. This is not normal, cause we are usually busy. What I like about having my day offs on wednesday and thursday is that, those are busy days. Those are the days when there are lots and lots of calls. When I come back on a friday, the calls start to lower down. So, it will be like that for the next 2-3 days of my wordays, and it will usually be busy on monday or if not, on Tuesday. Good thing for me.

I am now planning my way out of my job. I know, it might take time, probably years, specially if our plan of having hubby work in Canada will not be realized. I am saving our money so once I have accumulated enough, I will just venture into a small business. I know, it’s still out of sight right now, but it keeps me hopeful. Working in a call center could never be the perfect job for someone like me. I couldn’t stay very long in front of the computer, it just gives me headache. Our shifting schedule, is another punishment. I also keep on watching time, so I really know by heart, this is not where I could find myself in a state of “flow”. I just want to be a stay at home mom, and spend time with my family, specially that time is fast and the little one is growing, without having to worry about finances. I really wish, I could, for a bit, relax. Work is very stressful and tiring, and when I get home, I have to shift to another work schedule: taking care of my family. Good thing, I was able to express this to my hubby and he understood and started to make changes to help me relax at home instead of working or taking care of baby. He lets me rest for some time, and he is doing everything to avoid stressing me out. He is so understanding, and I am very thankful for that. I am really getting tired all the time, and I am so thin now, so I need to rest more.

The hubby and I had a date yesterday. We went to the movie house. The last time, we watched a movie in a movie house was I guess, last year. We don’t like to waste money that’s why we don’t go often. But, yesterday was my 2nd day of my day off, and so we decided to go out since we also need to unwind some times. We watched Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans.
It was a very thrilling and breath taking movie, though short, which only last for more than an hour.
The story was not common, and it appeared to be very real. I suggest for you to watch it. We chose it rather than Love Me Again which is also showing, because we prefer action movies which are thrilling and not boring to watch.
I would have also liked Love Me Again, but I’m sure the hubby will get bored. Good thing, I did cause he really liked it.

Yesterday, was a family day. Though simple, it was so fun and unforgettable. I and ronel, together with the little one, and also ronel’s mother and six year old brother went to port or pier 2 to board and visit the ship MV Doulos. We were informed by church friends that it is coming, and we have heard it before in the news. In MV Doulos, for only 10 pesos per person, you can already come aboard the ship and see the attractions inside. The biggest attraction is their library, where they sell different kinds of books. They have a great collection of books, most are christian books. There are books for children, a lot of them, cause inside the ship are children from all over the world, with their families. They are traveling and studying at the same time.
We really had a great time. The hubby knows that I’m a certified bookworm, so he informed me immediately about it, and I never hesitated to come on my day off.
I was so absorbed in choosing books, and the little one was enjoying walking around the ship. It was so relaxing to be near the sea, I just love the air and the smell of the fresh water.
I wanted to buy the 500 peso book for children that has all the great collection of fairy tales and it was really a good book, it was so thick. But, since we are focusing on saving, I just let it go and I went for the 100 peso book instead, that only has one story: Alice In Wonderland.
When we went out, we were given 3 free books for christians, plus 2 coloring books for the kids.
It was worth it. Then ,we headed to SM to have our lunch. We also let the two kids enjoy some rides. Then, we ate snacks again then headed back home. It was a fun filled day, which is very rare cause I always work and work, and during my day off I am always at home taking care of baby or resting or blogging.
I realized that I should be scheduling fun regularly to avoid boredom plus for enjoyment.

I bought a new cellphone yesterday. It was only Nokia 2100 cause I prefer it since its so simple and convenient. Plus, I know it doesn’t get low batt easily. We have a 6300 that has a camera, and the hubby use it often, so I don’t get to hold cellphone very often. So, we decided to buy another one. I remember, this cellphone cost around 5,000 pesos before, but now I bought it for more than 1,000 pesos only. Cheap right? And that’s brand new, plus the battery is original. Before, the prices of cellphones were very high and very few can afford those with cameras. But now, with a 2,000 pesos or 3,000 you can already buy one that has a camera. Well, that’s a good thing for me cause I won’t have to waste so much money on gadgets. I just hate the complicated settings of more complex and technical units. Aside from buying a cellphone, we also went inside the shop of silk ties cause my mom wanted me to buy one for her, and we did our grocery for our mini sari-sari store.

I knew deep in my heart how much I love my mom. The problem is, I have a problem showing it to her. She brought me up in such a way that we are not emotionally showy in showing each other’s love. I remember, every time we would kiss her, she showed a sign that she doesn’t like her. Every time, we would put our arms around her, she would shrug it off saying its not comfortable. She’s not the type who says I love you and all those sweet stuff that an open other normally would. But, she showed her love through her actions. She did everything for us, as in everything. She was there in my side, supporting me all the way, doing things for me that she’s not supposed to be doing. She was overly supportive, I would say. I love her so much, but its difficult to say I love you. It’s very difficult for me to show it, whereas to my husband and daughter I am very showy. I hug them many times, I kiss them over and over and tell them how much they mean to me. Now, my mom is growing old. Her hairs are fading and she’s starting to go slower. I really wish, I have the courage to tell her how much she means to me. How I wish I wouldn’t be scared to tell her that it would break my heart to lose her. That I would like to be with her forever. I’m too coward. But, I will try my best to give it a shot. If she shrugs me off again, who cares? At least, she would know that even I really do love her and I would do everything for her.

I am sitted here on my work chair and I keep looking at the watch. I can’t wait to be out. I can’t wait to be with my little darling and play with her again. I can’t wait to see her and make sure she is okay. Hmmm, here I go again. Only got 45 minutes to go, and I will be logging out of my IP phone and then take the 15 minute walk back home. Yeah, that’s my daily exercise. A 15 minute walk towards work and another going back home. I don’t take the cab. It’s a choice. I am so excited to see her again.

I just came from a 2 days off, and all I did was to take care of the little one. I spent time with her, played with her and enjoyed every moment of it. My mother who is the one taking care of her, went to Bohol and then to her hometown Davao because her older brother died. So, my hubby’s family has to come to our house to help us. It was not so comfortable for me and I thought it will be worst than I imagined because you know, first of all, I am not used to having a lot of people in the house. It is his mother who came along with his youngest brother who is still turning 6, and I never thought there would be another person, their old relative.
I had to be always baby bless’ side cause I can’t leave her alone while Ram, his youngest brother is with her. Ram is a pretty naughty boy, and he is so “malikot”. I always had to scold him cause sometimes he is hurting baby thinking they are just playing. When he walks its like a giant is walking, because of the very noisy sounds he create. The flooring on the 2nd floor is made of wood, so of course, it’s very noisy. He keeps on jumping and moving and all that aside from the fact that he is really so loud and noisy. He doesn’t listen no matter what you say. The more you tell him something, the more he does it or disobeys you. Sigh. I am a bit worried the little one might be injured or something so I’m really keeping an eye on her. When I am working, it would be my hubby who will look after her and I really told him over and over to watch her ALL THE TIME. I am really so protective of her, because I love my baby so much. I spent the evening letting her sleep and it was so sweet, cause she was trying to get to close to me while we were lying and she would touch my face, my hands and we kept laughing until she felt asleep. I told her how much I love her over and over and she was smiling and giggling. How I love to be a mother! Who will not fall in love with an angel? tell me… I remember the song that goes like “oh, in all that I did wrong, I must have done something right, to deserve…a little hug and butterfly kisses at night”. hmmm, very touching, I’m not sure on the lyrics I typed. But it’s something like that, and I feel that way.
Special thanks to my sister who sent shipping boxes full of clothes for my little one. She sure looks good on any dress or clothing. She is so pretty and adorable.
