44th Update: By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

19 07 2008

This book, written by one of my favorite authors, is going to trash. Not that I dislike him or his writing. It is just the references to God, the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary that made feel bored while reading the book. The price without discount was $13.95 from Barnes and Noble.

Sorry, I made a quick check @ Norwalk Public Library website and saw that it the library may be needing one copy. I will just donate it this coming Monday. Here is the library’s record:

43rd Update: Boredom is Killing Me

Boredom is killing me. I think I have enough rest for today. I slept 11hours and now have nothing very interesting thing to do. Guess, its time to do my late Spring Cleaning. My room looks like this right now:

42nd Update: Languish Day

18 07 2008

Staying late at night was the reason for waking up late this morning. I have to catch the bus by 6:30. Guess what time I woke up from bed? Six o four! I will leave it to your imagination how I was able to take a shower, brush my teeth, eat my breakfast, check my email, play some Youtube song, and find my uniforms.

All of them, done in 20 minutes. The remaining six minutes were used to run from my house to the nearest bus stop. Dig that!

I worked only for 4 hours today. We have too much medical assistants @ Coastal Norwalk and I have volunteered to go home.

On my way home, I made a “quick” stop somewhere. I also passed by the Stamford Target and bought myself Gatorade, Water and Cranberry juice. I also bought chicken soup and pizza. Hours later, I got home and saw the blinking line of the answering machine.

It was the McDonald Area Supervisor. And his message was … “he will dedicate his Saturday morning into resolving the issue I have raised!”

But since, I am ranting topic topic and because my eyes are nearly close already, let me post my progress note now:

41st Update: My Little Darien Office’s Cubicle

17 07 2008
My Serene Workplace

My Serene Workplace

Its small, and its peaceful. I share this cubicle to other medical assistants, whenever I am not available. Malinis pa sya ngayon, usually mukha syang basurahan ng papel.
There are things, that I need to attend to. So mamaya or bukas na ui!




40th Update: What’s Up for Lunch?

17 07 2008

It is really not so interesting. I cannot wait to go home and relax. Tomorrow will be the last working day of the week. I hopefully will get some reasonable paycheck next week. I have a lot of things to pay.

I am also contemplating of getting my bad check. It is really bad now, it is impairing my activities of daily living. Anyway,I cannot stay too long here, so I better show you whats for lunch,

39th Update: I failed

Not about the smoking but to curb my apetite for food. It lead me, you know where. Mc. Donald.

Fat! And looking like a homeless in a blue wrinkled scrub. Sigh!
I need some serious workout.
Update soon!




38th UPdate: News, Jason Mraz

16 07 2008

s early as 5:30am, I am already awake and listening to Jason Mraz’s “I Am Yours” and reading online news (Inquirer.net and ABS-CBNNews)!

Nothing interesting really.

As early as 5:00am, I am already complaining about my bone, muscle and joint pain. I am getting too old? Or is it possible that I have contacted Lyme Disease. Grrr!

Hate the feeling.

As early as 5:15am, I have already taken my morning bath and readying myself to go to my work. In 13 hours, I will be going back home to take another shower and rest.

Is this life?

Today, I will go back to my head supervisor and prove to her that I was right, and that she and the system were wrong. I just do not have the time to argue last night. But today, I got all the energy and mouthful to talk. :P

Here is my progress note:

36th Update: Cancellation of Contest

16 07 2008

I do apologize. I decided to cancel the contest. My blog database has been corrupted (the same reason why I am missing the 26th to 33rd update).

Promise that I will resume with the same contest soon! I just need the time (and energy) to retype the whole thing.

Sigh. Once again, sorry!





35th Update: My Brother’s Birthday

16 07 2008

Today is my brother’s birthday. Mom cooked. My Bro did hotdog and porkchop bbq, my youngest brother prepared and fried some turon. :P

Nothing very special.

I am tired and will be resting in a few. I do not have the energy to post the progress note. The good news is, I am still smoke free.

I will blog tomorrow.

By the way, I have retrieved some of my photos back from the laundry place, which were included in my yesterday’s (if not the other day’s) post.

Here they are (including Gielyn’s pic from the Forgive and Forget Party):
