we did(n't) again
i am not quite sure how to put this into paper, but i hate it that the "curry-dads" did it and we weren't able to. (thanks for the term, ate tin).
congratulations, diana grace antonio sonico and arthur de vera orcullo!! (no, they're not getting married.. but diana might be in the near future as her mom gave her the go-signal even before she ask. *wink*)
last week, 10/12 of us received the bad news.. 16.67% - diana and arthur, received the good news. it didn't feel as bad as before. i didn't cry just like last time. but to think that this is the second time is more humiliating. my supervisor bought me the yummy subway cookie to make me feel better. when i came home, i felt like i disappointed everybody. em kept telling me it was alright. mayee typed she felt slow-witted. mai commented on "language barrier". france e-mailed "i cannot open the e-mail". lorei texted "i haven't received the e-mail". joey rang and said "we're going to sydney for lorei's birthday" and mentioned he will be ringing his mom later that night which means he has not yet read the e-mail for it was his birthday, adding he did not want to cry while talking to his mom. my sister texted me, in which she said my mom mentioned poor me, but told stories of how she downloaded some japanese cartoons i can watch when i go home for my vacation. my mom asked if we really have to do that; my boyfriend said there will still be next time.
after all that sadness was put aside, i opened my laptop and started chatting. in the middle of the conversation, 10 minutes after i told lorei that it will be alright, she was the one who was telling me it will be alright and to practice what i preach. that was friday.
come saturday, i stayed home all day. i did not go shopping for second-hand goods just like i used to for the previous months. i watched 3 dvds, browsed the net, ate, slept, browsed the net, and listened to abba & the carpenters. i didn't feel like doing anything else (and i had to finish the dvds before returning them to the library). i have a plan, and that will start on monday night after work hours... hopefully.. hopefully..
meanwhile, while browsing facebook, i saw arthur's post on his brand new suzuki swift – a treat for himself. i remember when we were in brisbane last april, he mentioned about buying himself a brand new car - a suzuki swift, and that he needed to borrow $1000 from each of us. maybe he paid through credit card. or maybe, just maybe he will be paying weekly. i asked him how much, and he said it's just cheap, and then went on to comment on how he heard i bought myself a four-wheel drive vehicle. because i want a 4wd – but not right now. i have to do other things first.
so here we are, about to start again from scratch.
commiserations to the rest of the mclaud philaus.

this and that
i do not know what happened, but ever since that bushfire in victoria, we can now again log-in to almost all sites previously blocked by the company's head office. our head office is in melbourne, victoria.
yesterday, i told both cso's in our clinic that we can already access multiply, blogspot, friendster and facebook. it is only facebook that they are familiar with.

my sister who spent christmas and new year here in cairns with me has had her clothes loose when she got here, and too tight when she left. for some reason, we have had 2 gallons of ice cream when she was here. no wonder my grandmother pointed out her size when she went back to the philippines.
*****
my mom has been doing all the laundry and ironing duties since my sister left. my boyfriend says i now have an excuse to become lazy once more.
my excuse for not having been able to wipe the floor would be the weather!

one good thing about being on my own is that i'm learning to be independent. the bad thing: i cannot buy any meat that is 1/4 of a kilo in the supermarket.
i've already thrown-our some from my fridge, where moulds have already settled in, like that spaghetti and carbonara, and also the all-purpose cream. i also bought daing na pusit a month ago, which i also chucked in the bin last saturday because there were moulds despite it being preserved.
last friday, i made myself some veggie spring rolls and cannot-live-without-pansit. that will last me even after christmas, and my freezer is so full again, not to mention that there are also some beefsteak (~ 2 weeks old), and pork spring rolls (~ 1.5 months post-production). i should be thankful to my sister who will be coming pre-christmas, as i know she will eat everything and before i know it i'll be running out of foods. i already warned her that i am not planning on buying her a microwave oven so she just have to warm her foods via the electric stove in my unit.
she's asking for a blender though!
and she promised she'll make me cookies!!!

internet
just some internet 'update'..
1. http://batangbaler.net is not filtered anymore in the clinic.
2. i already have a library card, and i can use the internet in the library thrice a week for 1 hour each visit. library hours are 10am-6pm (mon-fri) and 9am-12nn (sat).
3. i got my internet connection at home, although i'm thinking of using it only for chatting because it has a 1000mb data allowance for a month. that means if i exceed the allowance, i have to pay more for internet use.

unit hunt
the search for a unit is over.. i had the papers signed last, last week, but i can only move in two weeks later..
after my two-week stay at ramada encore hotel in dandenong, i was transferred to palm royale cairns hotel in manunda for another two weeks. all the while, i was looking for a cheap accomodation ($1** per week is the cheapest here) and thankfully, i had what i was looking for: a cheap unit, fully furnished, walking distance away from work. not to mention the compound looks flashy.. hehe.. also, too many people are offering me things i will be needing: utensils and stuffs.. the people here are really nice!! the only thing i need to pay separately would be electricity, because the water is covered with the rent. so, i'm planning on buying myself a really nice trash bin! yeah!! and i'm thinking of having a postpaid internet connection at home.
anyway, as i am waiting to move-in to the unit, i had to stay with my supervisor for a week, and with nena, a filipina, also for a week. my boyfriend texted me and told me "pity you".. oh well.. at least i'm already moving to my new unit on friday!! i'm so excited!!!

cairns rant
the only thing i don't like about cairns is this:
.jpg)
i've had that since day one, and it's getting worse by the minute.. the insects must love me too much to bite me at any chance they get!
i've applied eurax cream - it didn't work..
i've tried dermaid - still didn't work..
the anti-histamine i brought with me from the philippines is doing no good as well; and i've taken half of the tablets already!

i'm here again
two months of not blogging and i'm here again..
two weeks post employment here at national hearing care, and we were already sent to different centres to start with work.. not bad though. two weeks of training, and we're in the real world, although we're only having 1-2 patients up to now..
during my first day here, knowing internet is free at the clinic, i've tried logging-in to friendster, multiply, blogspot - i can't.. so, i settled with yahoomails to keep in touch with those i left back home (even www.yahoo.com is blocked by the server)..
just yesterday, wednesday, the 10th of september (happy birthday sa lahat ng batch15 na september ang birthday!! september 9 si allan, 13 sina argel at uduy, 15 si elaine, 18 si toto, 30 si reggie.. sino kulang?), diane sent me an email that we can actually access friendster and multiply here in the clinic, even blogger/blogspot.. not batangbaler, though..
so here i am now, typing infront of the computer at lunchbreak.. sharing some things i don't think you wanna know about..
i'm actually thinking if i'll be getting a broadband connection when i already have a laptop (or desktop) at home.. kado had his pc at home connected to smart bro 1 day after i left the philippines, i might as well invest in a broadband connection. besides, this one here at the centre blocks instant messaging..

lucky
i am lucky i don't have the kind of boyfriend who bosses me around.. don't get me wrong, i don't boss him around either!
i am lucky my boyfriend supports me in my decisions regarding my career, even if that means we won't be able to see each other for a while..
i am lucky i have a boyfriend who is as afraid of my mom as i am.. :-)
i am such a lucky brat!

my review update
as of this time, i have attended two lectures (pa lang).. two out of forty-five.. tsk, tsk.. i should really move fast!!
..my mom insists i take a leave once a week..
..i made my review schedule earlier in the clinic..
..i can finish my review in 2-3 weeks time even without being absent from work..
i know i shouldn't be writing in phrases.. i know i should be writing in complete sentences. i know i get to practice.. but my problem is not with writing, but with speaking.. (read: i have a bigger problem with speaking)
so speaking it is that i will be practicing more..

present fear
i know i've been waiting for this for so long.. but now that i have it, i am afraid.. i'm afraid to take one step forward because i'm afraid to fail.
i know it won't do me any good procrastinating. i have to start now, i have to start early.
i am about to start my review class on monday (tomorrow, actually). i haven't been able to spend more than 5 minutes reading the hand-outs the center gave me last week when i enrolled. it gives me the creeps just by looking at some of the tasks i needed to do on the exam.
there are 6 of us, but it seems i am the only one frightened..
i have been praying a lot about this. i really hope i can do this so as to push through with my plans, OUR plans.
pray for me.

whoever said that people only post their pictures when they're pretty was wrong!
still hibernating
what's new?..
well, i am moving out...
...of feu, that is!
before the end of the month, i am saying 'goodbye feu, hello podium!'.. not a new environment, i may say.. the best thing about moving to podium: i'm having company! :-)

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
