Working Together

The past few weeks at work has been super tiring for me. All the unfinished task is putting a lot of stress and pressure on me. I have not been sleeping well last week so last Friday, exhaustion finally caught up on me, I was in bed before 8:00 pm.

I woke up the next day, recharged from the long rest I got from the previous night. My boyfriend went to our house early Saturday morning to eat breakfast with me,and to bring me to the office for my over time work. He knew that with all the work piling on my office table , I need extra hands to help me finish my tasks so he volunteered his services for me.

Boyfriend and I used to work in the same company. The company that I'm still working for right now. We were officemates for two years before he resigned from the company to work in Japan. So he can really help me with my work because he used to perfom some of these tasks before.

I missed the times when we still work together, we were such a great team. Going to the office back then was something I really look forward too everyday. He pick me up from our house and brought me home every single day.

So when he resigned from work and work overseas it was extremely difficult for me because I need to adjust to a new routine. What made it even harder was the fact that he was in another country.

Back then,we were very discreet about our relationship, no one knew in the office that we were dating back then because we don't want to be the subject of rumors in the office. They only found out about it when he returned from Japan.

After four hours of working together, he brought me home and he proceeded to his surplus shop in Marikina City.

I'm grateful that even if bf is busy with his work, he still finds the time to help me with my work. I'm really contemplating on resigning from my current work because my work load is getting heavier and I think I 'm not properly compensated for it.

Last November 8

Last November 8, 2009, my dad, my brother, cousins, grandfather, aunt, uncles and I went to Loyola Cemetery in Marikina City to visit the graves of my late grandmother and my mama. We visited them a week after the observance of All Saints' Day. A practice we have observed as a family to avoid the traffic and crowd during November 1.

My dad, my brother, grandfather and I were at the cemetery at 4:30 pm, my cousins (children of my aunt who are living in Manila) arrived at around 6:00 in the evening. My aunt and her husband and my other uncle were caught in the traffic on their way to Quezon City, all of them were coming from Bataan were they are now based.

Our loved ones' graves were at the farthest side of the cemetery so by 6:00 in the evening we were engulfed by the pitch black darkness of the night. We did not bring any candles with us because my aunt was the one who prepared the flowers and candles.

We passed off the time while waiting for my aunt to arrive, chatting and taking pictures.

My aunt were able to reach Loyola at 7:30 pm. We stayed there until 8:00 in the evening. We were the only ones left at that side of the cemetery.

After visiting our dear departed loved ones, we were off to celebrate my granfather's birthday. It was a late celebration because his special day was last November 2.

We all proceeded to Lamesa Grill in Trinoma. We had dinner at 9:00 pm because of the heavy traffic on our way to Trinoma. Everyone was already hungry so we only took pictures after our dinner.

Best Blog Award

I received the same awards a few months back but I decided to post it again because these awards were given to me by Bambie and Mhai.

Bambie/Sunshine is one of the nicest and sweetest blogger friends I have while Mhai is a new acquaintance in the blogosphere I wish to get to know more.

To the two lovely ladies for passing these awards to me thank you!

Decisions, Decisions

I will be one of the bridesmaids in my cousin's wedding. I'm excited about the wedding which will be held a day after Christmas.

I can't think of any decent post because my mind is preoccupied with what design I'm going to choose for my gown.

The bride has sent me the designs of the gown but I still can't choose which is the one for me.

I wish I can post the pictures here so you can help decide but when I tried putting it here in my blog the pictures are small, the details of the gown can't be viewed.

I have until Sunday to choose. And I'm already anxious just thinking which of the gowns will look good on me.
