Red is Marose

After attending the morning session of The Feast today at Valle Verde today, I and my brothers decided to eat our lunch at McDonalds. Our mother has to stay around because she still has a meeting to attend, so she just gave us a fare to go home. But I asked my brothers if they want to eat and all there answers were yes. I just told them that we would chip in for our meal and they all agreed, well except for the youngest because he doesn’t have money in his pocket. Hehehe. Anyway, we just walked going to the nearest McDonalds and we ordered our lunch. It was just a simple lunch, nothing extravagant, just enough to make our stomach full but it was worth it. We were so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of our chicken meal.

This lunch date happens very seldom and I know my brothers are also happy with it. They can still remember the last time we ate together like this and it was last year, I can’t even remember the month but we all can still remember what happened. We were talking about it and my son kept on asking why he can’t remember it and we just happily explained that he was not there because he was at his paternal grandmother’s place that day. After the meal, we decided to buy some fries for a longer bonding time. I hope dates likes this would happen more often.

I have four brothers. One is older than me, already working and the rest is younger and my half brothers. Christian is next to me and is already in college. Jhon Paul is next and is graduating this year while the youngest is in first year high school. It’s nice that we get to bond from time to time. This holiday vacation gave us more time to do what we enjoy doing like playing card games, eating together, attending mass and going to the mall. Sometimes we would also talk about school, office, work and retail jobs. Most of the time we miss our eldest brother because he is always busy at work. Anyway, by next Sunday the family would be complete.

Last week, my husband bought two pairs of contact lens for me and him. It’s our first time to wear contact lens. My husband’s grade was 125 for the left eye and 175 for the right eye, while my grade was 175 for both eyes. It was a nice feeling that after several months I can see clearly again. But just last Sunday, my husband went to a basketball game in the morning and in the afternoon he called me asking me if I noticed one of his lenses. So, I looked around at our bedroom, on the table and even on the mattress trying to look for the missing contact lens. Unfortunately I can’t find it and our speculation was he lost it during the game. Good thing, the missing lens was for the right eye and since he was working I just gave one to him.

Monday, he has another basketball game after work. We watched him play. Just as the game was about to start he came to me asking to look at his eyes and see if the lens is still there. In the end, he lost another lens, but the good thing is he lost the lens for his left eye. What was left for him was the lens with grade 175.

Bottom line, I got back the other lens and I have a pair of contact lens now. Bad for him because his contact lens didn’t last for a week.

It’s Friday and I am late for Girl Talk meme. I was out for the whole day yesterday and when we got home there was no net connection. Oh, anyway, I am always late in almost all memes.

This week’s topic is about loving oneself mentally. I am not that intelligent but I am not totally dumb at all. I am not a consistent honor student from Elementary to High School but I manage to maintain high grades. My grades are often line of 9 and I seldom get line of 8 grades. I experience getting a grade of 79 in high school and would you believe that the subject was Filipino? Hehehehe. That was my first and only time I experience receiving that kind of grade. I managed to graduate High school with honors plus best in Physics and math. Yes! While most of the girls dread Math, I love math. For me it’s the most practical subject because we use it in our daily lives. Too bad, I was not able to get scholarship in college that’s why I was forced to stop studying. But when I was able to take a two year course, again, I graduated with honors again.

I am also good in directions and I can easily go to a place with proper instructions, maybe because I hate asking a stranger where a place is. I can easily remember things but lately I have problems remembering some names of some person, I blame it on my CS operation. I can think maturely but I can think like a child too. It’s fun being childlike, thinking of no worries and just enjoying the game.  I am a little hard headed because whenever I ask my friends for advice I would usually do exactly the opposite of their advice. It may be good or bad but I want to decide on my own not just because somebody tells me to do it. I do think a lot before deciding on things though I have lots of wrong decision but I learn from them. I became stronger because of them because for me, experience is the best teacher in this game called life.

We got invited to a children’s birthday party yesterday.  I called a friend of mine who reside to near the venue. I invited her to the party too. ^_^ Good thing our friend was good enough to accommodate another visitor. But they really got lots of visitors and the party was fine and I enjoyed talking to my friend while my son is busy joining games. The food was great too that I finished all the packed food. My son was teasing my again, he said “Mommy Taba!” Or Mommy is fat. heheh. It’s fine, he enjoys teasing me and I will tease him back. I told my son I will be looking for the best diet pills in town so that I will lose weight fast and he can no longer tease me. He said, “mommy no! Don’t do that” and I asked why, he said “I will not be able to tease you anymore if you are already sexy.” Hahaha. He is a very supportive son. But he would always say, though mommy is fat, I love you even more! Hahaha. Ohhh I just love it!

Ever since the company President announced the shut down last May 31, the common question would be what are your plans after the closure? It may be an agent asking me or a fellow agent. The boss even asked me the same question after the announcement. My simple answer is “wala pang plano” or “no plans yet!”

Again, again, you might wonder if you are reading the right thing. Yes, the company I am employed is shutting down and our last operations day would be on June 30. While me and the accounting head and the IT head would stay for another month. It is just now that I am sharing it with you friends, I think I just told it to two online friends, Sam and Kissy. But I think its better to let out what’s inside my head.

Worries are getting in the mind of the employees. What will happen next? Where will I apply? What if I don’t get hired immediately? Those are the common questions even though the agents are being offered another job with another company wherein they are already qualified 75% because the owner of that company is a friend of our president.

My reaction? I have mixed emotions. Yes, it is sad to leave a company, I’ve stayed here for more than three years now, and I just can’t imagine that I won’t be receiving any money on my ATM starting August. But you know I am happy at the same time. Is this God’s way of giving me a chance to fulfill my dream of being a stay at home mom or better yet a Work at Home Mom? As I mentioned, I don’t have plans, even plans of applying in different company. But will I get enough opportunities online to help support my family’s expenses? I need to earn about $200 a month so it will be like I’m still working. Yes, I am worried too but I have to enjoy our last days here at the office.
