I went back to work today (Friday) after being sick yesterday. A couple of jobs that I had to work on were put on hold or delayed, so I didn’t have much to do. I paid some bills online, read some Mac news, IM’d a bit, browsed through a LiveJournal friend, kairin‘s photo album on Snapfish (btw, he’s a great photographer ;-), and, oh yeah, I went around trying to find work to do.

Me and Kqee kinda got reprimanded for not doing our personal review and not providing feedback on some other coworkers. Oops… I know being busy with work is not a good excuse, but it did make me lose track of doing it.

It started to rain again… and it’s freezing!

When I got off the carpool in Vallejo, I felt like checking Target out and seeing if they had those Sony earbuds that I like. I got those new in-ear headphones from Apple, but honestly I don’t like then as much as my old Sony’s… Anyways, I decided to call my mom and see if she wanted to go shopping. She’s like “yeah!,” so I picked her up and asked where she wanted to go. She doesn’t go out much, and I though it’ll be nice to get her out of the house.

We went grocery shopping at Seafood City, then went to Target (I didn’t find the earbuds), then went to Wal-Mart… Oh! get this! At Wal-Mart, I was looking at the digital cameras and pick one up… then the alarm went off… so I just kinda move aside like I didn’t do anything. After a minute, it was still ringing and I just kinda went away… nobody did nothing… even nearby employees… After about 15 minutes, me and my mom were already halfway across the store and I still heard the alarm ringing.

So that was my day.

I didn’t feel feel today (Thursday) when I was getting up for bed, so I got back to bed to lay down a little. I was like in a dream-like state and I was imaging myself calling work and telling them I was staying home sick and describing my work that was due today. I woke up again at about 9:15am and realize that I was just dreaming and haven’t called in…

I stayed in bed all day sleeping, except when i got up to eat a little for lunch and checked my email, and when I finally got up at around 10pm and ate dinner.

Well, I’m feeling better and I’m continuing with some freelance work. I still feel weak, but that prolly from being in bed all day and not eating much.

Hi Joan >:)

My New Years Eve started with me not really having plans for the 2004 countdown.

My mom kept trying to wake me up this morning because she needed to get some groceries from the filipino store, but I wouldn’t wake up… Well, I finally did around 1pm or so. My brother also needed to do some errands, so he and I went out, along with my mom’s grocery list.

First thing we did was go to the office at church to give a donation to include my dad’s name on a couple of upcoming masses. This January 15th will be the anniversary of him passing away.

Afterwards, we got the grocery for the cassava cake my mom was gonna bake. We then passed by the Honda dealership, because my brother wanted to check out the Civics. When we talked to the dealer, I was surprised cuz my brother was already making a deal, like how much he will put down, etc. I thought we we just looking, but I discovered that my brother WAS going to buy a new car today. Well, the dealer didn’t agree to the price that my brother wanted so we went to the Toyota dealership, where he talked to my nephew’s god-mother’s husband, who sold him my niece’s car a few months ago.

My brother showed them an internet price for a Corolla that another dealership emailed him and asked them to match or beat it… and they did, so he bought it. Dang! that was quick!… He got a nice color, I forgot the fancy name, but it’s like a charcoal with a slight brown tint… and he got it for $12.2K… cheaper than my Civic!

My nephew was happy when he found out. This meant that he would get to use his car again. (My brother was using my nephew’s car to go to work)

When we got home, I called up my friends to see what the plans was. I was planning to go to the city with Scratch, but he already left, and since it was already late, I thought I would just stay home this New Years Eve.

My mom cooked alot of food. We had Palitow, Aroscaldo, Pancit, Cassava Cake, Fried Tofu and Pig’s Ears, Puto, Kuchinta, and more. I bet alot of you are asking what the hell did they eat… hehe

I chatted on YahooIM and AIM with some friends and called a few people to wish them a happy new year…

Well, the countdown has passed and I’m getting ready for bed. I’m on my iBook upstairs (upstairs is what I call the top of my loft bed) and feel like watching a movie, so I got a DVD with Julogs (a filipino movie)… and I’ll watch that before I fall asleep.

Happy New Years everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Have you ever had to cut things off with a friend? I think that’s what I have to do tonight.

I don’t want to go into any great details, but I’m just to the point where I just keep getting hurt and getting hurt and getting hurt and I can’t take it any more :(

I really don’t want to lose a friend, especially this one… I know he’s going through alot, but it just seems like our friendship is one sided. I’ve always been there for him… I think I’ve gone above and beyond what anyone can do, but for the past year it just seems like I don’t know this person and when he calls it’s always to ask for something… but when I call him, he doesn’t pick up, doesn’t return my calls or has no time for me.

I’ve asked if we can talk tonight. I wanted to Saturday night after an “incident,” but he pushed it aside… He didn’t want to discuss this now. I’ve asked how much money he owes me and if he can pay it back. I’m going to start dropping his stuff that he has at my house (it’s alot) at the place he’s living at now. I asked him to fill out a change of address, so I will no longer receive his mail and give it to him… And basically, I want to no longer have anything to do with him.

DAMN!!! I hate it… I hate this situation, even typing the above paragraph, I feel like I’m a bitch!!! But I dunno? I can’t keep getting hurt and getting stepped on. I just can’t.

There’s actually more to it than this, but I’m having a difficult time thinking now, so I’ll leave it at that.

I do wish him all the best… and hope he gets his life in order.

It’s difficult to cut things off with someone you love :(
