Thanks to Badz & Tin, I will be burping all night. Now I know I like pancit bihon better than sotanghon. *hehe*
Idle is not the word when something within me refuses to write. My mind is actually filled with thoughts-- only they were jumbled. I can't seem to find a way to lead each word out but I wanted to write.
So instead of writing something with more sense, allow me (as if you can do something about it) to narrate some happenings lately-- nothing that may interest some people.
Thanksgiving.
Yesterday, there were a lot of things to thank God for, but there are three things that I should be thankful for with much emphasis.
One. Baby Dot is just Baby Dot. No Twin-Dots for Tin and Badz (note that until last night, I was still praying for twins for them *hehe*). Praying for both parents' and the baby's good health is given. I might add that I want a baby girl for them but *ooppss* I know Badz would like to have a baby boy. Fine. I'll end my prayer with "a healthy baby" instead of "a healthy baby girl" then. Unless they will allow me to include my preferred gender in my prayer. Hmmm... May I?
Two. Before I hit the sack, Ria sent me a SMS informing that they are two-week pregnant. They went through In Vitro Fertilization Pre-Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) two weeks ago. On the 29th, they will know if they will have twins on the way. Yet again, I/we am/are praying for twins.
(So that leaves me two more friends on my "babies ASAP" list)
Three. I got a SMS from Delbros last night that the delivery of my passport/visa will be within the next 3 days. Then got an email this afternoon that I should expect it tomorrow hence I will have to take a leave from work tomorrow.
I hope their system is reliable and that I could really receive the parcel tomorrow. Altho' JS had suggested (before I even got the notice from Delbros re: the delivery tomorrow) that I take a leave until I receive my parcel, I don't want to take a leave for two days, as a-week-worth of allowance will be deducted from my salary if I take a two-day off from work. I need moolah! Who doesn't, anyway?
We'll see tomorrow. I hope they do the delivery in the morning tho' 'coz I'd like to hit the gym early in the afternoon (and/or I could join DM in their food-tasting trip to Hizon's for P and RG's wedding).
Confession.
I haven't gone back to the gym since Thursday and I don't trust my diet for the past few days. I doubt it if it could maintain the weight that I got from the last time that I stepped on the scale. I have missed Week 10.
I have been doing some abs exercises and a little stretching but I don't think it's enough. I can't really lift heavy weights as my PT had warned me not to do so when the red flag is up but I really miss sweating hard. I miss the sauna. I miss really working out and lack of it gave me a leg-cramp while playing badminton tonight. *sheesh*
(Note that I have asked my brother if they have a park there where I could jog. Even asked him to buy me some dumbbells, and a gym mat already. Yup! I am that freaked out just thinking that I might not be able to work out on a gym there.)
Today, I realized that I might not be able to play badminton there. I should ask him if they have badminton courts in the area then. (Dear God, let there be one). Or at least somebody should teach me how to play loan tennis or squash. Now I wonder what sports I could engage myself to. Hmmm... I know. I know. I will go there to WORK.
Staring at the Clock.
I find everything and everyone in a hurry lately... err.. except me. I kept on forgetting (or am I just in denial?) about the date (is it really mid-July already?). I really haven't done anything that should prepare me for my departure. Could be because I don't have my visa yet. Could be because I haven't met my employer yet (who flew in from New Jersey last weekend). Could be because I haven't gone through the medical exam yet (I am praying that I don't need to go through this). Or... could be because I don't have my ticket yet.
If my employer is right that I am only allowed to travel by mid-September, then in two-month time I should have done everything that I have said... and more. Sssso much more.
Only thing is, I jump, my mind skips from the remaining days to the day that I could send my first Christmas cards via airmail from the U.S.. (Gotta start fillin' in my address book soon!)
Oh well, my cup of green tea is now empty. I am off to get my cup of warm milk now. Then I should hit the sack and stop thinking about the parcel that will arrive at my doorstep tomorrow, so I could sleep. I am that excited.
Shallow as it may seem, I know there are people who didn't have to go through some things that I have gone through (and I will be going through) just to be with Uncle Sam (it is not hassle-free) but I am happy that once in my life, I could say, I have experienced going through such things.
It ain't over 'till it's over.
My prayers for myself and for those I care about, remain the same.
Oh! Just so you know, today I was pushed to learn how to pop my ears.
Come visit again tomorrow.
To Faye, who gave me the "Kadamo" tag. Thank You.
