the shenanigans of eenamorata

It's rather a boring thankful for item. But, I am thankful really for overtime (see time on the picture). I was able to remove three items from my to-do list and update this blog. During the glory days of our work site, I was able to experience the beautiful things that overtime did to my salary. Though am not experiencing any of that lately, I'd like to be thankful for it (even if its all OTY lately) at least I'm able to compensate for the day's inefficiency.

YAY! Today I am super thankful for the God given opportunity to teach at the Department of Electrical Engineering at UPLB and for giving me dreams of doing it again someday. The Department of Electrical Engineering at UPLB (ahem studied and taught here before) has once again bagged the top spot among all the Electrical Engineering schools in the country. Everyone who came from this school and took the exam this year ( see results of EE board exams here ) passed and three of them got into the top 10 ( see here ). Modesty aside, it is nothing new and surprising. It should actually be not much of a big fuss since the great Department of Electrical Engineering at UPLB has been like doing it for a very long time already. PERO! I was able to handle some of the students in this batch kasi.  It feels nice to see your students do and accomplish great things. Makes the heart grow big and happy. Super proud.. super proud of my students. :) CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW BATCH OF ELEC

Today I'm choosing to be thankful for FREEDOM. I've recently realized that I do not want to be caged or tied down in any form just yet; this being related to career, and life in general. The only thing that I am holding on steadfastly to is the constant point in the swirling motion of my life. I thank God for giving me the freedom to choose how to live my life. I thank God for the freedom to choose any job to my liking I thank God for the freedom to be who I want to be I thank God for the freedom  to think whatever it is that I want to think I thank God for the freedom to do what I want to do I thank God for the freedom to write silly things I thank God for the freedom to dream of happy endings and to shun away bad ones I thank God for the freedom to love I thank God for giving me the freedom to choose or not choose to follow him... And I am sorry for straying away from my path and being a little bit stubborn at that. But I thank Him for giving me the freedom to m

    Today I'm thankful for the triple grande cappuccino (though not as yummy as the cafe alamid) and  oreo cheese cake that was coupled with catch-up stories. It added flavor to the monotonous day at work.          I also did some stalking on an interesting guy at the coffee shop... other than that, nothing else but work filled my day. ... he was the interesting guy. (stalker mode)

          Coming to work and going from it today is stressful. I was running late this morning kaya I had no choice but to ride the ordinary bus at the Calamba terminal. Its expected that the summer breeze in these parts of the country are not that pleasant, but I wasn't expecting it to be that awful to the point that I was nursing a splitting headache when I arrived at the office. Now, unfortunately the trip from work was also as bad as the trip to it. Just this morning, there was this riot along Sucat, Road ( see here ) and its effects were still felt until this evening. The traffic was horrible.            One could just imagine the relief I felt after alighting from the vehicle that bore the agony of thine self for one or two hours. Still being a little bit disoriented from the said agony that I was recuperating from, I let my feet drag my body to the nearest lighted establishment which happened to be 7-eleven. Since I didn't have plans, I resorted to my default  ord

Day3: Opportunities to Play So it was my first time to go to enchanted kingdom yesterday and I had a blast! It was the greatest company outing to date. I was able to do a lot of things that I used to chicken out to before. It was my first time to ride a small roller coaster (see above) and a big one (Space Shuttle). I honestly thought that the space shuttle is some sort of enclosed space ship thing that is a roller coaster or something. It wasn't until yesterday that I was convinced na it was really just a roller coaster that's insane-er than the other ones. It was my first to ride a Ferris wheel, the Extereme thing, and the Anchor's away. I'd definitely go back to EK to see their fireworks and ride the Grand Carousel and  repeat everything I have ridden yesterday. Day 4:High School mates ganging up for Matet This event is actually still a part of Day3; but, since it ended at 2am in the morning, this is officially Day4. Matet has cancer of the Occipital Lob

This pot of green things made my day today, it broke the predictable monotony of my work day and it has long been a dream (from watching too much cooking shows etc) to have something like this. Even though it was a peculiar payment for an editing stint that I did for my father, this pot made daddy's girl really happy...  I shall name these plants as soon as I get to know them better... Actually the herb pot is just an icing on the cake, I am more thankful for my dad being so agreeable with me lately. I feel spoiled and pampered whenever I go home. This definitely is a perk of being an only child.

I'd be twenty-four years old, thirty days from now. So, instead of creating a bucket list (which I usually do) which is sort of asking God or the people around me to give me the things that I want; and because I am gaya-gaya to Charet ( a high school batchmate) who's doing the same, I would be doing this. For thirty days, starting today, I'd be writing about the things/ people/ whatever that I am currently most thankful for. Currently will mean, adolescence, being single, broke, tired, coming home daily to an empty pad, coming home weekly to LB and dogs, being an only child, wondering and wandering about life and love, stress, work, being stuck in a man's world, yadda yadda yadda. Today, I am thankful for friends at work: I was wondering if I'd be loving this job like this, if I was given a different set of people to work with. I was deeply contemplating if I can separate work and work mates. And boy is it hard to do so, the two seems to go hand in hand.
