Proud Mary

Just because it's Mary Ann's, aka Meann aka common name, birthday! Lol. Love you girl! :)

Anyways, my foot still hurts pero not as bad as last monday when I have to skip work. Buti na nga lang rin it's the right foot so at least pwede pa rin ako magdrive. Wonder drug talaga sa akin ang Excedrin, probably the aspirin. Lol.

I spent almost the whole day today doing 5S. It's a company wide project so kailangan mega linis ng workstations and tapon ng mga stuffs na hindi na kailangan. Buti na lang rin hindi ako masyadong busy.

Infairness maganda palang road music ang Kpop at Jpop! Lol. Nakakatanggal boredom. Lol.

I found an article in MSN about work spouse. I realized in a way my work spouse is Jason. Wahahaha.

To Sir With Love

As you can see I after my last entry, I already changed my mind in terms of where I'll be updating my blog. Although I think this time my reason is valid. At first I thought that the cross post function will work if I blog in blogger and that would automatically be posted in my blog in Multiply and apparently it doesn't. So there you go.

This entry is my tribute for my trainer, Mike Bozek.

Back in 2008, there was a point in my life that I was so decided to lose weight. So I went to shape and got the service of a personal trainer. I have two trainers before I got Mike. I already felt comfortable with him so I decided to make him my regular trainer. Mike is I guess the best trainer. He is very focus on your goal, he always follows up on your progress and he makes the training sessions fun. For him, you are not just a job.

I believed ilang beses na rin kaming nag kinda say goodbye. The first one is when he is moving to a different Shapes location. Hindi natuloy kasi he brought me to the new location. The second one was when he quit his job in Shapes. But that was just temporary dahil after my contract with Shapes I signed up with him.

Because of him, I significantly lose a lot of weight (although I guess I don't have that motivation lately). I started to be somewhat healthy. Mike showed genuine concern for me that is why hindi mahirap na magfall ang isang katulad ko for him.

I am not saying that we don't have our moments. There was a point that I was so mad with him because of him screwing up my schedule pero in the long run mas nanaig yung good things na nagawa nya for me.

He thought me a lot of things and I feel so bad that I haven't personally thanked him. We just say goodbye through phone. He became a significant part of my life and it pains me that we parted ways just like that.

Thanks Mike Bozek and I'll never forget you.

Hello, Goodbye

***So apperently the cross post from Blogger to Multiply doesn't work.

Hello Blogger, I'm back updating in your site again. I don't know, I'm started to get bored with Multiply na especially they are now focusing more on their online shopping thingy. Well, I still have my cross post active still so for people who are reading my blog in multiply will still be updated with me. It's just that I prefer to update my blog na here in Blogger but being the undecisive that I am, I might change my decision later. Lol.

Anyways, Bebs already guessed the current theme for my title so I guess I owe her something next time I visit the Philippines. Ask nyo na lang sya kung ano yung theme hehehe.

I started using Firefox na uli. I started to get irritated na with Google chrome eh. Kasi parang bumagal na sya. So I am giving Firefox another try.

Finally, I sadi goodbye to my trainer, Mike. Unfortunately hindi personal ang goodbye namin sa isa't isa. I didn't expect na yung session namin last monday eh yun na ang last session namin. I guess it was my fault rin naman. I bailed out that friday kasi hindi ko alam kung paano magpark dun sa YMCA sa may Kimberly and yun nga first time ko magdrive solo tas nung Monday naman I got sick so I need to cancel it. He just called me earlier and yun nga he explained to me na he can't train anymore kasi one week na lang he'll be moving na sa Vancouver. He helped me a lot on my struggle with weight loss this past two years. Nanghihinayang ako na we didn't formally say goodbye to each other but maybe this is the best way to say goodbye...

Don't Rain on My Parade

I think I'm better now except that my throat still hurts a little. Iba talaga magpagaling ang Vicks! Lol. Anyways, since I started driving alone, never ko pa atang na-experience ang isang araw na nakapag drive ako in a perfect weather. Laging umuulan or kaninang umaga naman eh fog naman ang na-experience ko. Ang dami ko tuloy laging bloopers like nung first time na nagdrive ako eh parang biglang umulan at naging foggy yung windshield ko so I need to turn my heater for my windows para mawala yung foggy thingy. Eh syempre first time takot akong bumitaw sa manibela so I said to myself di bale may traffic lights naman on the next intersection, eh kaso mo nag-go so walang chance eh tipong sobrang nahihirapan na akong makakita so in one quick move binuksan ko yung heater. Kanina naman, nung umalis ako sa office ang taas ng sikat ng araw so mega suot naman ako ng sun glasses and mega bukas ng window. Eh pagdating ko sa Henderson, bigla na namang bumuhos ang ulan and when I'm trying to close my window hindi ko masara, I think na-ilock ko ata yung windows tipong mega panic na ako bakit ayaw sumara. Lol.

Sana naman tomorrow hindi na umulan and sana okay na talaga ako. I won't be taking any medicines tonight para malaman ko tomorrow if I'm still okay if not mag-call-in sick ako. Lol!

Defying Gravity

Finally, I did the one thing that I thought I will never do or meant to do... to drive. Wala lang parang before kasi I don't feel the need to drive. Tipong kasi di ba sa Manila parang hindi mo naman talaga kailangan ng car to get around the city kasi ang dami daming public transpo and yun nga parang takot rin kasi ako. But when I moved here to Winnipeg parang necessity yung sasakyan kasi kahit may bus parang ang hirap pa rin mag move around the city. Tas yung nga medyo pinupush na rin ako ng Dad ko na magdrive. So ayun when I passed the road test parang the next thing is to drive by myself. So that was the thing that I conquered today. Nakapagdrive ako from our house to the office and back. Ang sarap lang rin nng feeling kasi parang I felt liberated na parang hindi ako nagrurush sa morning, wala akong time constraints na I can go whenever I want to go na hindi nagwoworry na baka maiwan ng bus tsaka no more waiting time. Infairness sa office, parang tuwang tuwa sila na finally nagddrive na ako. Lol.

Ang susunod naman eh maconquer ko ang pagpark ng maayos! Lol

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I am defying gravity

And you wont bring me down!

I'm through accepting limits

''cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try, I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you wont bring me down!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you won't bring me down!

bring me down!

ohh ohhh ohhhh!

Walking on Sunshine

Or should I say driving on sunshine? Lol.

Finally pumasa na rin ako sa road test. Lol. So I can legally drive by my own. Parang magic number ko ata yung 20 kasi 20 points na naman yung nakuha kong deduction this time pero wala ng automatic fail. Sabi nung instructor ko, yung examiner ko raw ngayon eh terror. Buti na lang eh sinabi nya sa akin yun after nung road test ko.

Yun lang share ko lang. Lol.

Let's Get Physical

So I'm being fickle minded again so I've changed the way I put title on my blog entries. I will give a special gift sa makakahula ng "theme" ng aking titles lol.

So kanina mega effort ako sa training session namin. Kasi naman I feel I am so out of shape na. Tipong hingal na hingal ako sa mga running exercises namin. Tsk tsk. I need to get back on my groove again. Kailangan ituloy ko na ang pagpayat ko. Feeling ko tuloy nadisappoint sa akin si Mike kanina. Sigh.

Irita ako kanina, so I was waiting for the bus kanina biglang dumating yung super cutie na HR na crush ko. I had a meeting with him and Jason parang my gosh dream threesome lol!!!! So going back so hinintuan nya ako and he's asking me kung saan raw ako, eh syempre pupunta ako sa gym so I need to decline eh sabi nya pwede nya akong ilapit eh ako nag-maganda sabi ko sabi ko hintayin ko na lang yung bus kasi dun na mismo ang baba ko. Tas nung nakaalis na sya.. dun ako nagsisi. Peste. Yun na nga ang moment na hinihintay ko eh nagmaganda pa ako. Freakin. Although may anak na ata sya kasi may nakita akong car seat sa car nya eh.

The One With Finales

Finally, my hell week is over. I didn't know if it resulted to positive outcomes but I am still glad it is over. Ginamit ko na naman ang aking stock/hula knowledge power ko. Lol. Good luck naman sa akin di ba. On my MS1 exam nakita ko yung former officemate ko na si Mario. You know the guy who got lot of issues against me. Lol. I am not sure if he saw me or not pero mas okay na rin siguro na wala kaming chance na mag small talk kasi I find it very awkward. Lol.

So there was two finales that I've watched this week. Glee and syempre Panday Kids (Wahahaha!). So first in line is Panday Kids. Not that I am an avid follower of the show napapanood ko lang pag naabutan ko. Hindi ko masyadong nagustuhan the way the end the show kasi parang may isang story dun na nakalimutan na nilang tapusin or actually parang sobrang nagbago yung story from what they originally planned. For example, yung kaibigan ni Hadji na yung reason why he accepted yung pagiging Panday Kids ay nowhere to be found parang naglaho na lang bigla or parang understood na napunta na sya sa sindikato and bad things happened to her. Ang pangit lang rin nung fact na yung ending eh winish nila mabuhay yung mga taong patay na. I think it would be better parang ang ginawang approach ay babalik sila sa panahon before nagulo yung buhay nila pero syempre nag-iba na yung future. Yun lang.

Next is Glee. I would say na masyadong under rated and response ng mga tao regarding the finale. I guess people are expecting super extravagant performances because its regionals but it ended up na hindi ang regionals ang focus ng story. I like the way the story goes na parang ang focus is what will happened to Glee now that they didn't placed in the regionals. Pinakita kung how the club change the lives of its members. As in naiyak ako sa kwento because I guess the finale focus more on the content rather than the songs. I like yung To Sir With Love na part. Gusto ko rin yung change of heart ni Sue for that episode. Although isa sa super laugh trip yung pangangak ni Quinn in the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody. "Suck you suck you suck you!" lol!

The One With Failures

Yes that's with an S.

I hate the feeling of failing and I feel that this year I'm a failure. 2 of my subjects na kinuha ko for this year, I failed. I failed my road test. Ewan ko ba, parang ang loser ng feeling. Ayoko ng feeling na parang wala man lang akong accomplishment. Super baba ng self esteem ko ngayon na parang lahat na lang ng gawin ko mali.

I super appreciate my officemates. They are trying to comfort me saying na normal lang bumagsak sa road test sa first take and even telling their own share of stories pero wala eh parang ang failure pa rin ng dating ko.

Bwisit na curb na kasi yun. I think I want everything to be too perfect. Wala lang super bad trip lang.

Wake up call na rin siguro sa akin ito na to clean up my acts.

I hope mawala na yung feeling na ito.
