Balikbayan

I had a fun afternoon today with my family because Tito Benny and Tita Babyluz visited. They are here for three weeks only, they're now based in California. It's been years since we saw them. Sayang Angel wasn't with them. I haven't seen my cousin for more than 5 years already. Syempre they talked about their life in the States and they convinced us to go there too. As in hindi lang to visit them but to live there also. Let me think about that first hahaha. Tito Benny said he has an officemate who's looking for a husband. Aba ang Tito ko nireto pa si Tito Boy dun sa kaopisina nya. He had us looking for pictures of Tito Boy tuloy dahil ipapakita daw nya dun sa Mexicana. O deva bigatin..as in literally and figuratively dahil malaking babae daw at nag-aaral ng nursing. Ka-ching! hahahaha Sabi ni Tita Babyluz gold mine daw ang mga nurse don. Kaya tuloy pati si Jay sinasabihan nilang mag-propose na dun sa ex-gf nya na based sa New Jersey. Magpropose na daw. Ang tatay ko kunsintidor...sya na daw bahala sa singsing. Anyways, halungkat nga kami ng pics and guess what I found...class picture ng tatay ko when he was in Grade 1. Magkamukha sila ng utol ko. Here are the pictures...ako ang photographer kaya wala akong picture.


This is before eating merienda...suman, tikoy and arroz caldo. Tita Babyluz, Tito Benny, Tita Carmen, Papa and Mama.


With Nanay Sony


Sayang wala si Tito Boy...di bale pagbalik nya galing Cotabato may asawa na syang Mexicana nyahahaha


Class picture ni Papa nung Grade 1. He's the on the 2nd row, from top, rightmost boy.


Ito naman HS ata... ang labo na kasi nung shot from the digicam. He's the second boy from the left sa top row.


Sana next time that we see them kami naman ang pupunta sa States...hoping and wishing.

Update

It seems that this week just passed by me...Let me start with last Thursday..

Thursday - went to have dinner with Jo and Migs. Thanks again for the dinner Jo! Joema wasn't able to come coz he was sick.

Friday - went to Mall of Asia to have brunch with Jo. She was leaving the next day for Singapore. Went to Joema's boarding house afterwards because he was still sick. But he went home to Bocaue to have his doctor check on him - ulcer and UTI attacked!

Saturday - went to Kyla's birthday party with Joema (he's good as new with his medicines in tow). Jo dropped by the party but didn't stay long. Poker night at Joy's. Then heard the sad news that Tita Percy fell from their roof and was in coma.

Sunday - worried sick about Tita Percy but wasn't able to go to Asian Hospital coz we went to San Fernando to go to Tita Zeny's place. Her whole family's there...Ate Aileen, Ate Floriza, Faye, Kuya Donny, Tita Edith and Ate Nanet. Dami pang food as always! When I got back home, I rested for a while then we're off to Asian Hospital with Allie. Saw Tita Percy in the ICU. Then went home feeling sadder.

Monday and Tuesday - so much work coz Tita Percy's not here

Wednesday - watched Click with Joema...this movie made me cry. Dinner at TemptAsian...then heard the bad news that Tita Percy passed away.

Thursday - meeting with Ms. Aggie together with BPCB....cried over Tita Percy's death, applauded Riza and Allie's promotion. OMG! I never thought I'd cry so hard over someone's death..she's not even related to me. Attended mass for her during lunch. Went to her wake in the evening.

Friday - went to her wake again during lunch. I'm now going to Makati to meet up with Joel and Grace. I have to get over my grief. Sana masaya na ko tomorrow... We'll be going somewhere tomorrow... I feel so adult with this. A BIG step for us!


******

Tita Percy, I will miss you. Wala ng sasalubong sa akin every morning dito sa office. :'( Wag mo ko mumultuhin pag mag-isa lang ako dito ha... Thanks for everything. I know you're happier now, happier than you've ever been here on earth.

Zzzzzzzzz

Guess what my supervisor is doing during office hours...







... may pang blackmail ako *evil lol*

Birks

Since my day was full of sad news, I decided to go to mass at Megamall. Unfortunately I was late for the mass so I just said a short prayer for Joanne and then went home. But on the way out of the mall, I passed by Via Venetto and they were having their end of season sale. Waaah! Their Birks are on sale. And mind you not just 10% off. There were styles that are on 10% off, 30% and 50% (my eyes are popping out!). Instinctively I went straight to the styles that are slashed 50% off and heard the angels singing when I saw a size 5 on shelf. Woohoo! Nothing else to perk a girl's moods but shoes, or sandals in this case.

She's gone

Just heard that my high school classmate passed away. I'm so sad about this news. I'm not really super friends with her but I still went to school with her for four years. It's at times like this that I realize that life is really short. We should live and love life and enjoy every minute of it. I hope she had a wonderful life here on earth. Goodbye Joanne!

Sadfest

Today is like the saddest day ever! (okay I know I'm the drama queen and that'a little exag). We found out this morning that my colleague who applied for a promotion did not get it. Another applicant from a different department got the job. The sad thing is my colleague was not backed up by her boss and that she will teach the new one the ins and outs of the work. What logic is that? They should have taken her instead because she's already doing some of the work anyways.

And then this afternoon, as in just now, I learned that my HS classmate had a cardiac arrest this morning and is in critical condition. OMG! Cardiac arrest at the age of 26! Oh my!

I'm just so depressed with all these bad news =<

Study Schedule

After reading one chapter from Bowers last night I decided to make a study schedule, much like what I usually do before the start of exam season. For the weekly sched here's what I came up with:

Monday - study concepts
Tuesday - memorize formula
Wednesday - study concepts
Thursday - memorize formula
Friday - rest
Saturday - study concepts
Sunday - answer exercises

After almost four years of studying for actuarial exams I know that I can't study everyday. My brain can't take that. And after two takes of Course 3, which is now Exam M, I know I have to study really early so that I can start with sample exams way before the Nov. 7 exam. So I plan to finish my first reading of the study materials this August. I don't want to make plans for September yet, as from my previous experiences study schedules are like promises..they are meant to be broken wehehehehe. Maling analogy pa ata!

Announcement!

I would like to announce that I'm going back to studying my actuarial mathematics textbooks. Shucks! I actually missed studying for SOA exams. Ugh! How geek can I be?!?!? Just wanted to make this post para naman mahiya ako sa balat ko at seryosohin ang pag-aaral hehehe. I just drank my second cup of coffee for the day and hopefully this will get me through the night tonight when I study. If someone out there is reading my blog...please pray for me!


*************

Oh my! This is my 100th post. Hurray! I should celebrate this or something...kinda like the 100th episode of TV series hehehehe. I'll celebrate by studying =p
