Ka-haggard-an
Countdown to Darice's Birthday Party: 6 days!
San ba talaga kami bibili ng spaghetti?!! Yoko namang magpaluto kay Ate Ella, eh baka siya naman ang mahaggard non eh katatapos lang ng kasal. Sa Red Ribbon daw yung isang bilao, 300+ bux, for 10-12 pax, ilang bilao bibilhin ko non?? Tas yung chicken pa! Willing naman si Tito Jessie magluto, problema pa kung drumstick ba lahat or mga buong manok na lang bibilhin ko... Mas mahal shemps ang drumstick lahat. Yung cake pa, yung ice-cream, yung drinks, yung barbeque!!! Si Dwin na ba talaga bibili non?!?!
*ngarag*
Yung invitations pa, Saturday yung nalagay ko, instead of Sunday. *twak* Bobo ko talaga! Tatakpan ko pa tuloy yon. Yung paper flower leis, 10 pa lang nagagawa ko, kulang pa ng 10. Wala pa akong paper flower streamers, gagawin ko pa lang! Yung cardboard palm tree pa! Yung mga dried banana or coconut leaves pa, makakakuha ba ako non?!?!
*ngarag*
Shet, umaambon-ambon pa man din! Sana naman di umulan! Baka di magpunta yung mga classmates ni Darice... pano na yan? Pupunta ba sina Chris, ba't di pa sila nag-RSVP?!? Si Kat di pa makakapunta, baka si Tracy mag-back-out din! Naku, baka namang buong twopa ni Dar magpunta, pakshet naman, baka si Synon dumating!
*ngarag*
*faints*

Kape: 2 cups?

Random Rambles: Star's Graduation
Yup she graduated from Nursery! Darice star is now officially a Kinder student hehehe. ^_^
I got disappointed, however, because she was so E.Q.-deprived that day =( Ate Ella was telling me stories of how Darice was singing enthusiastically during their graduation practice, and so, I really wanted to see her strut her stuff.
Well, no stuff-strutting was seen... She just put on her infamous pouty face, and kept calling for me, or for Dar. That was just before the graduation march, when they were lining-up outside the chapel. (Yes, they used the chapel for the ceremony). We finally got her to let us go when the students started marching. I thought everything was going great, that she would finally cheer up since she was already with her classmates. But then, one of the school's teachers called for me because Darice was crying and asking for me. Sigh. Walang ka-E.Q.-E.Q. talaga 'tong si Tooloosee.
So I went to her pew, and good thing she was near the aisle opposite the middle aisle. Kundi mistulang isang baboy akong nakatayo sa gitna ng simbahan non. She wanted me to carry her, and she wanted to go home na daw.
Good thing, the one person who I thought wouldn't be able to make it, magically appeared by my side.
Daddy and the boys!
So I asked Don to stay with Darice (since Darice absolutely adores her Tito Don) while I talked and stayed with Dadox and Rich. I asked Daddy the day before if he could come to the graduation, but Mom said he would be accompanying her to her mammogram. So I was so surprised and happy to see him, the boys, and the videocam (hehehe, the only reason he was there because I wanted him to video Darice)! Typical Daddy talaga, di man lang nagtext.
However, the videocam was not really needed because Darice was having her moods! She was pouting when she received her certificate! Then she started crying because she saw EJ get a medal, and she didn't! "Gusto ko rin ng necklace!", she whined. She was already bawling her eyes out during the graduation song!
I, on the other hand, was resisting the urge to just take her home and make her stay in her corner for an hour. Sigh.
And so, all of her pictures and videos during the ceremony had that unbeatably irritating pout.
Good thing lunch was way better.
They decided to eat lunch at Max's at Rob's Metro East. Woohoo! ^_^ I was itching to pig out after Darice's depressing mood. Then lo and behold, Darice's and EJ's classmate, Eryn, and her parents were also at Rob's Metro East. Dar's mom and Kuya Jun invited them to eat with us, and so they did. Darice was again the very makulit and hyper and happy kid because she, EJ and Eryn were running around and playing.
Daddy and Dar's mom and Kuya Jun were able to talk about the 'upcoming' (with quoatation marks because it's still 18 months away) wedding. Dad asked Kuya Jun why were we scheduling it September 2005 -- ang tagal pa daw. This was such a big shock to me because Daddy was the staunch adversary to us getting married when I get pregnant. And now, he's complaining, masyadong matagal pa? Daddy, love mo ko talaga *hug*
After lunch, Daddy and the boys took Darice to Manila to pick up Mommy and they went to Star City. (Fit for her, eh?) Darice stayed in Filinvest for the night. I'm sure Darice had a blast with them.
As for me and Dar, we had the night to do our passions -- me shopping for clothes during the Midnight Madness Sale at Rob's Place Manila, while Dar playing Ragnarok with his buds.
The graduation sucked, but the celebration sure rocked! ^_^

At Last...
Darice is asleep, Dar's not yet home.
At last, I have complete me-myself-and-I time.
First things first.
How's the dream job?
Hey, I never said it was my dream job!
Oh well, I still love the fact that my name can be associated with Soluziona. I know, I know, I was hooked by Mia's presentation. I enjoyed Jimpy's and Sharon's friendly chatter. I was flattered by Elmer's understanding. I told myself, I totally dig these people!
But it's a different thing altogether to be working for Soluziona. Especially in Meralco.
I totally have nothing to complain about the people there. My 'batch'-mates are friendly (although younger than me), my row-mates are coffee-addicts (like me!) and my MMS-mates are helpful and understanding. Nada. No complaints whatsoever.
The work. It comes in bursts. Some days, you're just staring at the manual, staring at the computer screen, hoping somebody texts you, or pops you [I'll explain that later ;) ], writing nondescript doodles in your notebook. Other days, you're having a hard time coping up with all the field names, with the table names, the program names, trying to figure out if DELRET is equal to KY-DOC or is it KY-DOC with DOCNUM, or maybe DELRET and PROPRET? My notebook gets filled with so many field names, validations, variables, numbers and what-have-you's, you realize, Whoa, it's 5:30 already?
For two weeks already, I've been swamped with work. I did two minor modifications (reports) using Natural, and a little tinkering with the PB system. Of course, you can't be writing code without its corresponding documentation. Whew.
Monday after Holy Week -- I'm trying to think of something to do. *yawn* Boring days are here again.
Good thing there's pop.
What is pop anyway?
It's actually called RealPop, and it's a network messenger. Kinda like a cross between YM and Chikka. Except there's no chat rooms, and no buddy lists.
Pop is how people in Meralco communicate. Everything can be 'popped' -- from the usual kulitan and forwarded messages, to description of your workload for the day, from overtime permits to questions about the system. You can pop anybody (if you know their pop number) and you can pop them about anything under the sun.
Being the 'shy' person that I am, I thank my lucky stars for 'pop'. I can ask just about anything from my team leader. I don't have to hesitate when I want to pop something to my 'batch'-mates. I can communicate with other people, and I don't have to be face to face with them... Woohoo!
Hey, have some face to face contact with your peers, man!
Of course I have face to face contact with them too!
Row 4 goes out for coffee after lunch. I usually have somebody to smoke with downstairs. I usually eat lunch with my batch-mates or my MMS mates. [Although lately, I've been eating by my lonesome self because I only have sandwiches for lunch =( ]
See... I'm making progress! [I hope...]
Any regrets?
A phone call from Hewlett-Packard came one lazy Saturday morning, asking for an interview. I answered truthfully, I'm sorry, but I'm already currently employed. Honestly, after I put the phone down, I didn't feel a twinge of regret.
Then I told Dar. Not only did I feel regret. I felt guilty, stupid, and naive. I cried the whole weekend.
Should I have gone in for that interview? Should I call HP and beg for that interview? Should I get my hopes up on that third interview, and pray and hope that I could snag a job at HP? HP gave me the most grief during an interview! I never felt so uncomfortable and so ill-at-ease in an interview! Should I sacrifice my time for Darice, for Dar, for myself for that rumored 29k starting salary? Why stress myself out for money that can be wasted on what-have-you's that will be bought by me, Darice or Dar?
I still believe in staying true to my deal with Soluziona. I have six months to make a decision. If that job in HP is meant for me, then it's for me. If this job at Soluziona is for me, then good thing I'm already with them. I don't think God made me feel so excited over Soluziona if I'm just going to regret it.
God doesn't make things happen to make you suffer. Sooner or later, He'll show you those things happened to make you happier. *sniff*sniff*
