We'Re MoViNG! errr We'Re NOT!

There were previous plans of us moving to other flat. But the plans are just always plans we (or maybe 'they' - because my Kuya is the boss while my Ate is next to the hierarchy. hehe!) are thinking about. Ako kase masaya na ako sa tinitirahan namin.


Until recently, we have been having problems with our room. Our bathroom ceiling has been dripping the past weeks due to some facility problem in above storey making our bathroom floor and the carpet outside the bath door wet all day (the whole area outside the bathroom is carpetted). Since palagi kaming mukhang inuulan, my Ate has been repeatedly saying that we should go check some other flats but thinks that my Kuya would have, as always, hesitations on leaving our room.


We are fine with the area. Not so big but good enough to keep the essentials including the washing machine and refrigerator and other kitchen stuff, the cabinet Kuya has bought for me (other cabinets are built in), Ate's corner aquarium and still having space for the three of us to move (and play Wii!). We have an attached bathroom and our morning bathing sched doesn't conflict.


Btw, we are occupying the Master's bedroom of the flat. It was where my bro and two of his officemates / friends had transferred to after moving out from their company's accomodation. After some time, each had brought their wives to Dubai kaya naghiwa-hiwalay na sila and c Kuya ang naiwan sa room.


Bukod sa mahal ko na ang room (I would like to have a bigger space though. In time.) I just so love our building's location. Really convenient for me.


When Kuya came back from Christmas vacation in PI, muling nabuhay ang 'moving out plan'. Ayan na.

WE ARE NO LONGER MOVING!




Emote pa naman ako kanina. hehe!



Malungkot pero masaya.

AyaW Magpa-Comment

Note: If you are JAMIE do not read this.

I just read J-me's blog about Bulak. When I finished reading gustong gusto ko mag-comment but found out that she won't allow comments for her post. Kaya naman ibo-blog ko na lang ang sympathy ko.

Though I really don't know the feeling na mawalan ng lovable pet (because i don't have any), I know she's sad talaga sa pagkawala nya. Bulak is one of J-me's favorite topic to chat about. Probably next to Glenn. During our HICAP days, 'pag kita namin sa umaga ng Lunes mega chismisan na kagad. And of course, she always has kwento's about her baby. Never fails.

Sigh.



I've no comforting words to say, mare. Na-sad lang ako ako para sayo...
Wag mo na away sarili mo.

O, sabi ko sayo wag mo basahin 'to e!

WhaT is HOMESICK?!

Homesickness (or in some cases, Nostalgia), is the distress or impairment caused by an actual or anticipated separation from the specific home environment or attachment objects.

Believe it or not but I don't normally feel homesick though I'm so far from home. I guess living in a dorm during college days and in an apartment during my Hitachi days make me so used to being away. Besides, I have my brother (our eldest) and his wife around and their presence somehow makes me feel a piece of home. I also have my college friends here plus some office friends and my weekend is never idle because of them.


Isa pa, dito I could do more things. One example is diving. It's expensive in Pinas. And so only those richy rich could afford such activities. In short, am having fun here. And I'm not missing home much...

Uhm, not until recently.



Mom, Dad and my four pamangkins were here last October. It was a very short stay - roughly 10 days. But they were here just in time for my birthday. (My birthday is 25th. They were here on 24th evening, almost 25th mn. Their flight was supposedly a week earlier but due to the kid's exams in school, they had a change of sched.) Btw, my birthday was just an added reason on why they went here. They have some other agenda. Nevertheless, their presence added much joy to my day! I'll post my so late entry 'bout my party soon.

Our place was a mess those times. Imagine having 4 kids in the room! Yet the feeling of going home after a looong day at work excites me knowing that I'll see Mom and Dad plus the kids again. Bago pa lang ako makauwi, tatanong ko na kung san kami pupunta. My kuya and ate decide on where to go. Sila ang may mas free na sched.

It was Nov. 3 (3am flight) when they went back to Pinas. The room seems empty when they left. Sob!

Friday last week I called Mom:

Ma: Uwi ka naman (for Christmas) kahit 5 days lang. Naho-homesick ako e.

Me: Ano ka ba, Ma?! Nasa HOME ka kaya! =)

The conversation made me laugh for a while but later I realized sana nga I could go home.

Symptoms in homesickness may be emotional, cognitive, or physical. In extreme cases, physical health problems accompany the hallmark symptom of homesickness, which is preoccupying thoughts of home. Most people describe homesickness as a want or longing to be back home, continuously missing their parents, spouse, relatives, friends, mates, pets, and aspects of their familiar environments. People may describe their feelings as a deep sadness, depression, frustration, anger, or hopelessness...Symptoms may include cramps, ulcers, diarrhea, headaches, tense muscles, vomiting, tears, crying and withdrawal, etc.

I knew I'll miss my FAM. But I never thought I'll have this extended feeling of Homesickness. Dec na kaya! Hindi naman ako ganito last year. Hhhmmm, kaya cguro lately I'm becoming sickly.

GeN naho-HOMESICK na OFW

Can't sleep

I was lying on my bed for more than a couple of hours but i just can't sleep. Sabi nila sa mga ganitong pagkakataon daw na d ka makatulog may nag-iisip daw sayo. Totoo kaya iyon?

I guess.

Dahil sa mga oras na ito may isang tao na sa tingin ko ay d makatulog dahil naiisip ako - ang Mommy ko. She's missing me. And I'm missing her too.

just a little unwell

Today is one of the very few times that I stayed home the whole day... Yes! That is because I'm not so well.

I don't wanna say I'm sick. I'm just a little unwell.

It started with colds yesterday. I usually don't take medicines pag may sipon. Pero since may nagmagandang loob to give me some meds and a bottle of lemon juice, I took colds tablet and have a short rest (I got out from work early). I still have a function to attend to sa gabi - NAMA-UAE General Meeting.

I was okei naman during the event. Buti hindi ako hinaching ng hinaching dun kagaya nung nasa office ako. I was home past 12 am and decided to take rest agad.

And this morning, it isn't the usual okei feeling. But i need to get up. Hindi na rin naman kase ako makatulog. Started doing the laundry after the morning rituals and a not so hearty breakfast. My brother has been doing the laundry the past weeks so it's time na ako naman.

I started feeling cold again this afternoon even after two tablets of Paracetamol! And now my eye bags are puffy na parang I haven't slept.

I hope tom I'll be SO WELL.
