hard at work

Because I still am not finished with my part time work, I have to divide my time between two jobs. I must admit that I am having a hard time with it. Both jobs are demanding, not to mention there's the bf and the baby to take care of. I set a limit of working no more than 7pm but sometimes it's just not enough. I really have a lot to do and I doubt if I can make the two months extension. But I am really trying to produce results.

I have finished the first part of the job. The second part is tedious although it is really easy. It just takes patience and I am praying to have more of it. The baby is getting too demanding and is no longer sleeping in the afternoons. Thus, I have to take care of him instead of working. I am thinking of letting him go to school in the afternoons just to give him something to do. Hahaha!

Nevertheless, a little hard work never killed anyone so I am fine with it. I just need to load up on multivitamins so I won't be too stressed out. Last night, I got a full body massage to ease my aching body. I so enjoyed it that I failed to set my alarm. I was unable to exercise because I had a really good sleep and woke up late.

For now, slowly but surely will have to do and in time, I'll get the hang of this.

sick baby

The baby is affected by the trip. Up to now, he is cranky and grumpy because he is not feeling well. He had a mild fever last Friday and he was switching from fine to sick and vice versa during the next few days. He didn't even wear his barong to the wedding but only wore it for picture taking. He went home ahead with my parents, brother and nephew last night but he is still not his usual self. For one, he now has a cold. Second, hates me at the moment. He always says "not Mommy, only Ate. So I let him be. I couldn't get near him the whole afternoon. Up until tonight when it's yaya's time to rest, he still does not want to let her go. My mom came and took him to her bedroom and left me alone to rest. I didn't bother him anymore. I'll just pop in to say goodnight.

Besides, my former officemate calling for dinner at their house because it's his birthday. I'm still debating to go or not since I already ate. I just had a massage and I feel like going to sleep already...

headache!!!

i have had three raging headaches since yesterday afternoon. i got home from our trip at about 12 noon yesterday. i hurried over to my uncle's house for lunch where i ate a beef taco. then i went home and decided to watch a dvd. i couldn't finish watching the movie-because it sucked partly. but also because i needed to sleep. i haven't had decent sleep in two days and i needed to rest. so i slept around 2.30 and woke up 4.30 to a very painful headache. i wasn't sure if it was due to hunger or cold. (during the trip, i felt a sore throat coming and i scared it with a dose of vitamin c. it worked apparently because the sore throat didn't make an appearance at all)

the baby wanted to go to the mall and i acquiesced. i wanted to eat a steaming bowl of batchoy and chicken inasal. i told my mom if the headache didn't go away after eating, it had to be due to a cold. when we got there, i ate but the headache remained. we headed for home shortly and i took nyquil. it's my remedy for colds at night and deep sleep-turns me out like a light better than a sleeping pill. not that i have tried sleeping pills ever. i also took saridon which is my mom's recommended medication against sinat. when i woke up, the headache was gone.

but it came back around noon and i took sinutab. it disappeared again and came back around 6. with the help of sinutab yet again, the pain headache is gone. i am getting a massage tonight and i hope it will help get rid of whatever is the reason for my headaches. can't hardly wait.

whatever!

*the baby took that picture of his feet. he has a quirky habit of curling them, especially when i make him fit new shoes at the mall.

*anyway, last night before we slept, the television turned off automatically. i put it on sleep mode for about 30 minutes because he gets mad if he sees me switch it off.

me: time for bed, babe. the TV went off already
baby: whatever
me: lol!

work habits

i do not have a disciplined work habit. that is probably i quit my job. hahaha! i like the lifestyle of a part time employee who works half the time and plays half the time. and this is also the reason why my present job suits me. i work well with deadlines. i am filled with creativity and inspiration when i have a time limit. if not, it will take me forever to finish.

my current job alots about 12 hours for me to accomplish a task. i can finish that job in 4 hours or less. but that is on a good day. on an extremely lazy day, i don't begin to work until its 4 hours from the deadline. there are times when the bf and i are busy the whole day so work has to take a backseat. there are also times when do not feel the work i.e. its too hard, too technical or i am sleepy. during that time, i don't finish right away.

today is a classic example. i started to work at 10.30am but i felt sleepy. so i slept till 12 and then i had lunch. i began to work until 2pm because i saw the bf arrived. i went back to work by 5pm already because i also had to spend time with the baby. i finished at a quarter to 7 and i had eaten dinner in between. all in all, it took me just four hours to finish, which is normal for me.

i am quite happy with the state of my life as of now. but i am thinking of going back to school. i plan to take up law although i am not too keen on it just yet. i pass the entrance exam, then maybe law is for me. if not, i'll just be another ordinary citizen.
