I’ve been getting a lot of sleep lately, which is a good thing 🙂 Last week was marred with runny rose, cough, and fever. I was also a bit hypertensive. For that, the doctor sent me home and advised me to rest (skip work) on Saturday night.
One would think that with time off work I’d get more stuff done at home. Like blog, or edit and upload photos, and even bake cupcakes. Sadly, it wasn’t to be the case. I took the doctor’s advise and really rested. I slept off almost the entire weekend, the exception being Sunday afternoon. I couldn’t miss my nephews’ championship basketball game! It was a fun afternoon and I have pictures to show for it. As usual though, I have yet to have them sorted and uploaded. 🙂
Around here though, we’ve been griping about not having had to go on vacation, and we’re almost running out of summer! My brother has been to four out of town trips already, while I have had none. Pathetic 🙁 I haven’t even been anywhere near a swimming pool. I’ve been bugging the boyfriend, sabi ko we’ll go on a short out of town trip just so I could feel like something happened for my summer. Schedules don’t match though. 🙁
Hay. If only I could afford a vacation package to Disney World, that would be a vacation to remember! I swear I wouldn’t chicken out of their rides like I did with the Space Shuttle at EK, haha 🙂 Another dream vacation for me would be a tour of Europe. The other day, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was on TV (the second movie) and I was so inggit how the girls could just say, okay, I’ll go to Greece, and then be there the next day. Sigh.
This year’s general elections, the first ever to be automated in the country, was a family affair for us. We headed to the voting precinct together, Dad, Mom, and I. Kuya followed a few minutes later.
We didn’t necessarily leave the place as a family though.
For Ma, and this will show her age (sorry!), her voting experience was expedited. Let’s just say that she qualified for special treatment. She stayed in line with us for almost an hour though before she was able to get on to the express lane. Hehe. My big brother was a few people away from us to the back of the line. He was there for over an hour before he decided to join mom and dad for lunch at KFC a few steps away from the precinct, after that, he decided to go home and bring lunch to Diane. He was supposed to go back but we were waiting in line for five hours, and the line behind us was growing longer. He had work that night so he had to go to bed…
So I spent the most time with Dad, and my cousins Nikki and Che. We ate kwek-kwek, KFC fries, drank KFC Krushers, cold water, and Coke, in those five hours. It was soooo hot that day, but being under the tent, and there being chairs, helped to keep our heads cool. Cool lang kahit na there were people who cut into the line. Friends who were supposed to be about four or five people down the line from us got pushed farther back. Tsk.
Anyway speaking of family, I’ll try to include a photo of Dad showing how much stomach fat loss he’s had. Yep, he’s lost a lot of inches and he’s been very proud of that. Other photos of the family on election day will be added to this post in a few… 🙂
Please put up with me today. These are just a bunch of random thoughts…
I keep going back to DPS to check this out. But I don’t make the purchase, or at least I haven’t.
Yesterday’s baking session really helped take me out of the rut I seemed to have been in last week. They turned out yummy! And they’re all gone, haha. Photos coming soon 🙂
The boyfriend is more excited than I am about getting a D90. I think we’re going to call it Deena. Or something like that. Maxine will be his.
I have cable and broadband payments due tomorrow, and loan payments due on Friday. When’s my credit card bill due again? I just realized that I wasn’t able to post about an important event! Last week, I zeroed my credit card outstanding balance. Seriously, I was debt free for a day. Haha. I used my card the next day though at the MOA sale. It wasn’t a big purchase, I’d be able to pay all of it off come due date 🙂 I swear BDO won’t be getting any extra fees out of me anymore. Zero interest!
What do you need colon cleanse products for? Like, what do liver supplements really do for your liver? Just asking.
Why is it so easy for some people to lose weight while it’s so difficult for me? Skinny people get skinnier doing nothing; I lose zero pounds even on a diet. Nah, I’m just bitter.
It seems like I’m in a ‘funk,’ and the only reason I can come up with is the intense heat.
Seriously, noticed my absence in the blog over the weekend? I haven’t been on Facebook much either. No I haven’t been busy. I’ve not gone to have a great weekend or anything like that. I just haven’t been online much.
And I’m not in the mood to do much of anything else either. Hay. And sometimes it feels like sitting on the couch or simply being here at home, is like I’m on natural sleep aids. Yet I still feel like I haven’t had enough rest. As if there’s ever enough right? Haha.
