sick.

My previous entry entailed how I pigged out early this week. Ironically for the rest of my week, my taste buds abhored any food that was served. Eh kasi naman, Wednesday night, I went home with a weak, feverish feeling. Added to that siguro was the pagod brought about by work, frustrations, disappointments & issues na nadiscuss sa meeting (which kung di pa nagsu-subside ang inis ko eh baka mablog ko one of these days), and yung empty feeling pag-uwi sa bahay kasi that day was the flight of my dad and stepmom back to Saudi. So back-to-the-usual-aalog-alog-na-house ang uuwian namin sa Makati. Then that night, I went home alone kasi may basketball game pa sina Paul somewhere in Rockwell. I didn't get to watch na kasi 7 pm yung game while may meeting pa nga kami up to that time.

I collapsed on my bed upon reaching home sa pagod. Tried to eat, pero a few spoonfuls lang of kaning may sabaw ng Tinola ang nakain ko. I readied myself to rest na and just texted hubby to come home right away after the game. Thermometer scaled 38.3 deg C. Waaahhh, natuluyan na ako sa lagnat.

I didn't report for work on Thurs and Fri kasi I feel so weak and was having chills frequently. Thurs night, temp went up as high as 39.5 (nasa QC house na kami nun). Will have a check-up sana but Friday mid-am, I was feeling ok na. I was well taken care of kasi by my dear hubby who took a half-day leave last Thurs as well as my in-laws who constantly checked on me, how I was feeling every now and then. My FIL even rushed to the drugstore immediately realizing that we ran out of stocked antibiotics.

So if you noticed, it's only now that I get to publish the drafts I made earlier this week. I was kept away from the puter while I was sick. Hay! Pero it's a good thing talaga na oks na ako this weekend..at least pede na ulit mag-computer and digiscrap hehe!

tummy-stuffed.

Monday - we had our department's general assembly and much to our delight, lunch was not on us. While our director was having a talk, we were allowed to quietly feast upon our Max's Platter Meals consisting of 1/4 Max's Chicken, pancit canton, plain rice, caramel bar and coke.

Tuesday - my colleagues and I trooped all the way to Greenbelt as we were all salivating over Wendy's burgers for lunch. While my companions both ordered Bacon Mushroom Melt Combo Meal, I opted to eat Spicy Chicken Fillet + Regular Fries + Regular Coke PLUS Macaroni Salad.

Back in the office and four hours later, we were all discreetly called and headed to our Huddle Room for a colleague's surprise pizza birthday/despedida party. We indulged on two boxes of Pizza Hut's Family Meat Lovers Pan Pizza + two boxes of Family Hawaiian Pan Pizza.

Fast forward to dinner time at home, my parents ordered 1 bilao of Buddy's Pancit Lucban and my all-time fave sisig since may mga guests din sila last night.

Wednesday - We had Yellow Cab's Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta and Spicy Chicken Wings for lunch.

For merienda, same colleague whom we surprised yesterday with a pizza party treated us naman with Amber's Pansit and the ever-famous pichi-pichi.

Nagutom ba kayo? Don't you wish kasama kayo sa food trip ko?

* Burp * oooppps...excuse me. :)

drooling.

Can't get enough of my Christmas wish list...that's why I'm gonna hang it in there until my birthday coming up in less than two months. My birthday wish list? I'm really, extremely and excitedly drooling over these things:

After hearing mass this morning, dear hubby and I went to SM North to buy some things and pay my Globe bill which is already one week overdue. Hehe! Oks lang..I'm confident naman that my line won't be cut since I'm still far from maximizing my credit limit eventhough I have the lowest plan (am not a texter that much and moreso, I seldom call).

We also stormed the department store to search for & buy a nice polo shirt for Father-in-law and a cutie shirt for Miggy (Paul's nephew) as their birthday gifts. FIL's celebrating his birthday on the 9th while Miggy just turned 4 yesterday.

We also bought 3 new pair of black socks for hubby while I treated myself with 2 new pairs of comfy slippers (hay di na nakuntento sa isa).

While we were passing by the computer & techie gadgets stores, we window shopped each that displays laptops on promo and looked for a cheap yet fairly fast that got a nice spec laptop. Hay..kaaliw tumingin! 0% promos via credit card purchases were also tempting. I also gushed for every EOS 400D or SLRs that were on display. If only I have that moolah to buy them right away..right then and there. But anyway, kelangan magpigil for the mean time, magtipid but remain hopeful though hehe!

Since it's a weekend, I was itching so much to scrap..so here they are, just sharing my latest layouts.....

Standby.

Worried. Doubtful. Disappointed.

I feel bad.

My boss unexpectedly huddled me for a one-on-one talk last Monday. In two months time, my stint as a project employee will cease and as the approval from the US office for an additional headcount in our team is still pending (so I can assume a full time position), possible scenarios in the next months will be like these:

1. contract is extended indefinitely..meaning, I won't still be having the hefty pay, benefits & allowances my colleagues are enjoying..and worse, still..no leave benefits..arrgggh! I'm tired of this "no work no pay" thing!

2. if "this" particular colleague voluntarily or "involuntarily" leaves...well and good, I assume her full time position then I'm here to stay.

3. if, the contrary of #2 happens, then I guess...it's a bye-bye move on me.

:sigh: Isn't it annoying when your future is so absurd..that you yourself can't help & can't do anything but just wait until it happens? Isn't it disappointing that you can't control your own future? If asked, I'm not ready to move out, yet. I'm loving & enjoying my work here. I'm enjoying my colleagues' company & their wackiness as well as the perks and advantages of working here. (Perks: read as frequent "free" food trips, flexible working time, proximity of my workplace to Paul's..as in magkatapat lang kami ng building, the 10-minute-tricyle-ride from home to office which by default means cheap fare & no traffic to hurdle, ultra fast internet access though I can seldom surf leisurely because of the workload, etc).

Honestly, I'm not in my best spirits lately because of this mind-bugging issue. The reason why I also was not in the mood to blab here. As much as I try to be hopeful and optimistic, can't help talaga but to worry, feel disappointed and at the same time, ask myself..is there anything I can do RIGHT NOW?

Yep..there is..stand-by na nga lang muna ako. :(

:sigh:

Ok guys, need your help..refute my thoughts please. :)

Unfolding.
