What da….We have no water for 18 hours! I really loathe Davao City Water District for the inefficient means of information dissemination. Oh well, I was never impressed with their services ever since I stayed here in Davao. Frequent repairs, replacements, etc., etc. Why install pipes, valves and others that aren’t durable in the first place? Gosh, they really suck big time! Water interruption for an hour or two is just okay. But for 18 hours, it’s a different story especially that they have not utilized all means to disseminate the information to ALL concessionaires.
I don’t mean to be rude but I must admit, I was never a happy customer of DCWD in terms of their services. The quality of their water is good but services is so poor. When we are still living somewhere in north where water interruption lasts for days up to a week numerous times in a year and when I called them to know the reason of the interruption, “the pump broke”. Pump being broken countless times in a year? That’s ridiculous! Why not install a pump that is of HIGH QUALITY and implement PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE from time to time? Poor planning and implementation. If this kind of service will continue, I might need a treatment for hair loss soon because they never fail to stress me out and that stress will cause hair fall in the long run.
I think DCWD is adapting to the government’s motto: SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, THIS IS WHERE YOUR TAXES GO.
I’m getting a dose of laugh trip everyday since we got back our TV from the service center. I religiously watch Showtime because I love Vice Ganda a lot! I like his punchlines so much and it never fail to tickle me and I can’t help but giggle (I cannot just laugh too loudly because the neighbors might wonder if I am ok or not.LOL). Wish Ace and I could watch it together so I don’t need to control my laughter.hahaha. This daily dose of laugh trip is really helpful especially that I am not physically interacting with people lately. It will help me spare from anti wrinkle eye cream or any other antri-wrinkle cream that I would need in the future. I just wish DLPC won’t schedule the rotating brownout during Showtime’s airtime so I could watch daily.
Isn’t she so gorgeous? Everybody was surprised and awed to see Gizelle looking so slim and beautiful in her wedding gown. I said surprised because she was a little chubby before. She was actually tall with a big built that made her look like a big woman. Days before the wedding, I was surprised to see her so slim and she happily said she trimmed down for the wedding. I don’t know how she did it but being a nurse, I am sure she opted for a natural weight loss formula instead of the synthetic ones. I must say, she did lost weight beautifully! What a sweet success to her.
It’s already daybreak and I haven’t slept yet. Thanks to an online buddy who kept me company until this hour. We just talked about anything and of course her for sale loots! Oh my, I am tempted again. Not this time because I will save for a small business and I am excited for it. I hope it will really push through. So now I’ve got to work harder and save some for my capital.
Now I am already sleepy. But before I go to bed and get some snooze, I’d better unload my bladder. Though I don’t need incontinence products this time (and I hope I will never be unless I would be too old), I have to unload so I could sleep straight. Hafta go and get some snooze before the sun rises.
Sleepless nights again. It’s weekend and I should be sleeping now but here I am trying to finish as many online tasks as I could. I am just thankful for the income opportunities that come my way. It’s actually overwhelming but I love it. I hope I could still find time to sleep longer when I am done with everything come Monday. As much as I want to sleep early because we might be going out later this afternoon, I just can’t. I am so blessed to have more than a handful of tasks that needs to be done before cut off tonight or tomorrow night. Literally handful because it is more than the number of my fingers and toes! I am not even sure if they would still impose early cut-off but I wanna see to it that everything will be included in this cut-off.
Since I rarely get enough sleep, my eyebags are getting bigger (I suppose) and I might need the best eye cream for the dark circles and fine lines. Maybe I’d go back to my teabag compress to lighten the dark circle but definitely it won’t minimize fine lines. That would be done when I am not busy so I could just lie down for hours with a teabag above my eyes.
Officially, summer is here and I can’t wait to go to the beach! We’re supposed to go on a week-long vacation but we might be pushing it to a later date. However, knowing that everybody loves the beach, we will definitely spend a day or two in a resort in Samal or in Talicud. Holy week is not a good time for it because beaches are packed with people during those days. We might be going there before or after the holy week.
Anyway, here’s where we have been for the past years….
I heard Ezra band’s music during a friend’s wedding that we attended the other Saturday. I heard them play great music but I was so engrossed catching up with friends so I didn’t really mind them. The master of ceremonies even mentioned to support the group via text votes because Ezra Band is a finalist in Pilipinas Got Talent.
Ace’ eyes were pinned in the TV the other Sunday during Pilipinas Got Talent’s airtime but we didn’t see Ezra perform so I told Ace maybe it was already aired weeks before. Ace, who has an ear and heart for music must have moved by the band’s performance during the wedding that he wanted to see the episode when Ezra band performed on stage of Pilipinas Got Talent. I was even instructed to watch the daily episode of Pilipinas Got More Talent hoping that Ezra’s performance will be featured. I’ve watched every episode from Monday till Friday but no Ezra Band being featured.
Last Sunday, I was half-watching half-fb’ing when I heard “Davao del Sur” being mentioned. I shifted my full attention to the TV and Ace blurted “Ezra Band” upon seeing the participants going to the center stage. As expected, all eyes on TV for the whole duration of their performance. Ace even sat too close to the TV.LOL.
Aren’t they talented? I admire the keyboardist a lot for even if he is differently abled, he can play very well. I have complete set of hands and yet I don’t even know how to play a single musical instrument.*sigh*. Anyway, I am just posting this because I am not yet over with them. I want to see more of Ezra Band!
One thing I miss from having a day job in an office is to dress up and wearing a light make-up. Not too much though, just a light cheek and eye color and lip gloss is enough. So when we attended a wedding last week, I was really excited to put on make up because I haven’t done it for years. When we went out this afternoon, I did my routine that I have been doing everyday when I was going to the office and I blurted out to Ace “I miss putting on make-up. Can I wear make-up everyday even if I am only at home?” and he said “YES!”. Hmmm…wearing make-up even if I am working from home? I wonder how would I feel and what would our neighbors think of me when I go out to the store and buy something wearing a make-up. Anyway, gone are the days when I was so engrossed in wanting to learn how to put make-up. I even searched the net for some tips. I am always awed at the make-up of celebrities that looked so natural and blends well on their skin. I know there are ways how to do it and is taught in a cosmetology school. Putting on make-up like a pro is actually one skill that I wanted to learn because sooner or later I can definitely make use of it.
We are baby-less until this time. Yet we have bunch of “babies” under our care and with our expenses on their dog food and cat food weekly, seems like we are buying a big can of expensive formula milk. The dogs have Alpo while the cat have Whiskas (in can) and with how BIG they eat, we are spending so much on their food. Not that I am complaining. I am even thankful that we have the resources to buy our babies’ foods.
Anyway, here’s our babies….
Meet the prim and proper Maya (second generation of our original dog named Maya). She was given to Ace (from the troop of dogs that my folks have in my hometown) in January 2004. She was 4 months then, I think.
Then here’s super brave Puto. He is half stray dog and half I don’t know. Japanese Spitz maybe. He was given to Ace April of 2005 March of 2006.
Those two dogs were sent here to Davao and given to Ace because my late Mamang (yes, she’s the one who sent those dogs here) sees a “brighter future” for these dogs under our care. Since these dogs are stray, they aren’t that given much care and attention from where they came from especially that there are battalion of dogs in my grandparents’ place.
After more than couple of years of trying, Maya finally conceived last year and bore 5 pups for the first time but only one survived and we called him Thirdie (the 3rd generation of Maya). Thirdie got his built from Puto and coat from Maya.
So those are our dogs and we still have one pet. A stray orange tabby cat we named KiawKiaw. We found KiawKiaw in the street January of 2007 and invited himself to be adopted.LOL. This cat is a big eater of his cat food and he seems not to get enough. Always asking for food!
That’s our troop of “babies”. I wonder how long will they stay with us. I just hope they’ll be with us until they grow old.
Will we be given with the same number of real babies soon? If yes, then we would probably need bunch of life insurance quotes at Wholesale prices and save for that thing. Since we’re still waiting for that time, then we will just enjoy the company of our pets.
Update on my Satchy? Wait, lemme check this basement dehumidifier first before I go into details about my fashion walk. This is helpful for those who have basements in their homes.
Okay. So as what I told few of my friends, I will go on “fashion walk” (our term when we go to the mall to sport something) once my bag arrives. Since it arrived on a Friday, I was too excited for Saturday to come so I could use it in going to the mall. I thought it wouldn’t make any difference wearing my Coach from my Sylvia Santos (that was given by my colleague during our meeting in Cebu) but I was totally wrong! It was my first time to be looked at from head to foot and people are taking a second look at me and my bag. Am I just paranoid? If I see people wearing nice and authentic bags, I don’t even look at them from head to foot nor will I take a second look at the bag.
I went to the mall’s comfort room and the ladies in line are staring at my bag. One lady wears a Gucci. By the looks of the material, I know it’s an imitation and she was staring at me and my bag until I went out of the comfort room. This is crazy!
Added to that, I have a husband in tow who is so OC. He kept on reminding me not to bump my bag into anything for it might be scratched. Gosh! The choleric doesn’t care about that but the melancholic does so I need to transfer my bag from the right hand to the left when needed.
When we got tired of our fashion walk, we went to Pizza Hut for our dinner. On the way, we passed by a foreigner whom Ace noticed followed us with her stare. Then there’s two ladies walking ahead us wearing an LV (my first dream bag). Judging from the materials of the bag, it might be bought from the boutiques that sells imitation bags. When they look behind, I got another stare at my bag.
I am ashamed to have my picture taken wearing my bag so Ace took a photo of me and my Satchy at Pizza Hut.
The next day we went to the mall again. We went around to look for Ace’ polo for the wedding. Then I decided to roam around the stalls that sells imported clothes from Bangkok and Ace overheard the sales ladies talking about my bag “lahi lage na design iya bag” (Tagalog: “ibang design yung bag nya”, English: “her bag has different design”) Yes, it is definitely different because you can’t see that in stores that sells imitations of signature bags. Just by looking at the material and the style, you would know that it’s authentic.
I will never forget my first fashion walk experience with my very first signature bag. The stare, the head-to-foot look is flattering (though annoying at times). But that won’t stop me from desiring for another one (next year?) because it’s all worth every penny. I just love it!
