That Regular Weekend Evening Routine

It's Saturday evening and close to midnight, which means that it's time to get ready to do the laundry again. It's a good thing that I set my alarm yet again, or else I might have woken up tomorrow morning instead. Hmm. The rest of my day today wasn't exactly productive, unless one counts cleaning out …

Did What Was Expected

I woke up really early today, mostly because I wanted to get to Multirational before all the other applicants. In fact, I got to PBCom tower, and I was at the 22nd floor just a little past seven in the morning. I think I surprised the HR officer with that. I finished their little exam, as …

Deciding To Do Something For A Bit

It's close to the end of the week, and with payday technically being tomorrow, I went out this afternoon for a change. As my status at Sykes was still more or less in Limbo, and I wasn't actually sure I'd still be payed tomorrow (it's already been more than a month since I was placed …

Doing Stuff And Avoiding Idleness

I woke up surprisingly early again today, but it took longer for me to rouse myself from bed. When I finally rolled myself out of bed, I found that I was very hungry... Unfortunately I didn't have anything readily-available for snacking downstairs, so I just drank some water to supress the hunger temporarily, and grabbed a …

The Evils Of Free Time

One of the things that I don't like about not going to work every day is... it gives me time alone to think. Given how inherently negative I am, this means that my mental meanderings often lead to rather unhappy places. I'm kind of surprised that I haven't curled up in a ball of angst …

Didn’t Expect That, No

I woke up early again today, and went out to the wet market in the expectation that my father and uncle would be coming back home from my sister's house today. I bought veggies, eggs, fruits, and even a whole chicken. I even bought pandesal on the way home.  Once I prepped everything and put them …

Definitely Not Much

I was definitely dead to the world after I had gotten back from the market earlier this morning. At that point, I didn't care, and once I put the potatoes and carrot in the fridge, along with the mangoes and bananas I bought, it was off to bed. No ifs or buts about it. Once …

Not A Good Day For (Cooking) Experimentation

It's the second day of being on my own in the house. I somehow managed to get up early and to bathe and get dressed, but that aside, I only seemed to have managed to waste a whole lot of food while I was doing some amateur experimentation. Remember my comment the other day that …

Made Busy As Best As I Could

I didn't wake up early, but when I did rouse myself from bed, I didn't go back again. I grabbed a change of clothes, then went downstairs. It was almost noontime by that point, and I was feeling hot and muggy, but I didn't take a bath straight away; instead, as I intimated last night, …

Just Sleeping Too Much

I didn't do much of anything today. I slept up until around noontime, and only at that point did I get up to take a bath and get changed, since I was expecting my sister for her usual weekend visit, where she usually used my room for her homestay work. And she did come, and settled in …
