you know what's the most productive thing i did yesterday?
naglagay ako ng stickers sa office phone ko. haha!
bawat number kase ay may shortcut para sa mobile ng mga taong lagi kong tinatawagan.
for example:
1 is for bambi, that's why the crazy in-love smiley
2 is for my boss, at nag-eemote pa rin kami sa 'no more partying' memo namin last week
3 is for my boss' wife, na laging ginigising ang katawang tao ko sa boses pa lang nya
4 is for our driver, na laging madaldal
5 is for our liaison, na over-over kung manigaw minsan
6 is for our office boy, bait-bait na jonjon
7 is for tyan, super evil na feeling amo rin
8 is sa bahay
9 is kay carmen, di ko pa napapalitan e
at 0 ay sa cold store, kaya masayang smiley...
nalilito tuloy yung ibang tao magdial sa phone ko, lolz

wala syang kasing-sama...
ang isa pa naming amo, nagpakita na naman ng kanyang super evil powers today... killjoy sa birthday ni ate maricel.
yan tuloy di na pwede magparty sa office... badtrip talaga sya.
anyways nagpa-cbc (complete blood count) ako this evening, ok naman. blue pa rin naman daw ang dugo ko. kailangan ko kasi ang results nito para sa 4th month checkup ko sa 17. parang ayoko nga muna magpa ultrasound, nakakatatlo na kasi ako... siguro pag 5th month na lang pag kita na yung gender ng baby, right?
ansakit parin pala magpainjection! tapos inaapi natin yung mga batang umiiyak.

first trimester is over
thank goodness!
i am almost fed up with the fatigue and sleepiness. i will have my 3rd prenatal tomorrow and hopefully everything's still fine, coz now and then i feel my stomach tightening a little bit. and next month i hope i can start to feel when he kicks, its one of the perks of being pregnant!
i started to avoid the kitchen nowadays, and i just have our food delivered by a catering service, which gives me time to sleep more :) but sometimes bambi is being stubborn and not eating just because 'i didn't cook it'. seriously, would he rather eat what i i cook?
unlike the first weeks of my pregnancy when i was loaded with work, these days i am so bored just counting the time to freedom... which is as bad as being overworked. at least when you're working time flies fast.
anyways its almost 7 and im about to go out. bambi and i are supposed to visit one friend who just gave birth and im still thinking of what to send...

fatigued
seriously, i feel like ive been doing construction work for the past month, even early in the morning i feel sleepy and lethargic. and it does not go away even after my 1 hour siesta in the afternoon.
what can i expect, my body is growing another human being and it is no easy task. i just thought it would be as breezy as my first pregnancy.
i had so much to blog but can't find the will to do so, photos and stories are being dumped in my desktop but i just feel so withdrawn and all i want to do is sleep. one day is not enough. i lost interest in my job and i was always thinking of an excuse for not going.
and i think i scared on of my colleagues when he found me crying out of frustration in my desk. haha. that was the highlight of my day yesterday.
no, scratch that, this is the highlight of my day, and my week:

k-fed
kristinne is fed up.
it has been the most tiring 2 weeks of my life. even if i have received half of my ebay purchases from last month, it wasn't enough to make me happy and blog.
it started with this sensor...
when i was in college i had a simple sticker sensor at the back of my nokia 3310 that lights up when it receives a call or an sms. and it made me giggle when it lights up because it means i will receive an sms from bambi soon. so i had such good memories of it.
unfortunately at this time of my life and even if i have a blackberry, i want to throw away the phone when it lights up especially when im at home coz it only means my boss is going to call and i would probably be searching the internet for something or maybe i did something wrong for the day.
dang i really hated him this week! it seems my stress level has been up all the time even if i have probably the same amount of work, its just that everytime he calls and asks me to canvass a price for something (5-6 items this week from more than 10 suppliers) it really takes up a lot of time and at the end he changes his mind and i really want to hit the phone so hard at my table just so i wouldn't scream!
my darn hormones are probably to blame. my first pregnancy was such a breeze compared to this. starting this week i started to lose appetite and was just eating junk foods even though im really hungry coz the thought of rice and viand makes me vomit. i was just eating bread yesterday all afternoon. plain bread and water. i had to, coz i feel sick when im hungry, but ill feel sick when im too full.
ooh, i saw camella's ad yesterday! those three kids strolling along their village, and they had ice cream... then i wanted to eat ice cream, too! so bambi bought one for me, london dairy no less! but, i didn't eat much because guess what...? it wasn't on a cone like those kids had. yay... is this what pregnancy blues mean?
i really miss my son! he wasn't this picky when he was in my tummy... not even one bit. i was watching his videos yesterday and i missed him terribly, and i wanted to make time pass so quick and make it december already... anyways, 10 more months and ill be free from waking up so early just to be scolded, free from my boss' (sometimes) unreasonable mood swings, free from being disturbed at home for more work. free, free, free.
anyways, i have some new stuff that i wanted to review so im going back to work and post them later.

it's supposed to be cute coz it's hello kitty, but i hated the reason why it's lighting up so i took it off my blackberry and attached it to my roaming mobile instead.

tgif, lame PCs and apologies
yes! finally. although it did come so fast. i hope every week in bahrain is like this!
this week was so stressful, unlike before where i had to tend only for the office stuff, now i also have to manage my boss' international correspondence for his two new shops. supplies and materials and quotations, even shipping...
apart from that, earlier this week my lame pc at work proved how deficient it is by pretending to have a virus and then totally crashed my system. for 4 days i had to contend with using the internet for our mail server.
when it finally came to itself it tried to install my printer's driver for one whole morning. imagine installing for one whole morning. what a dingbat.
i thought i could go to the mall this afternoon but irish bailed on me at 4pm saying she's still at work.
so i just slept the whole afternoon.
and when i woke up i realized that my period is delayed for 4 days. it's not unusual. it usually is delayed for 4 days, problem is i have a weird feeling in my lower stomach, like ive been doing situps or something.
if jared is indeed going to be a kuya, then for sure ill go home for good on december. i have no plans yet, but i know by that time i'll have enough to start our apartment even for just the first two floors. then ill come back to work and try to finish the third floor when they are at least two years old.
i get kind of excited thinking about this!
anyways im gonna see jared tomorrow in ym. his grandmother started getting dramatic again last week, and i apologized again for hurting them, especially to my father in law, because in all fairness to them, they do take care of jared the best way they can.
and my father in law really made my stay as comfortable as possible. it is his feelings that i was concerned that most.
but i am so thankful that my biological mother is the most understanding mother of all time. she doesn't shout back, she doesn't walk out. she will take everything for my son. what an unconditional love that i rarely see these days.
i also apologized to her.
my activist sister, however, tried playing games with my mind again, torturing me with her manipulative chuvaness. i sometimes think that my son is so lucky, coz so many people are concerned for his well-being.
im slightly optimistic about the situation but to be realistic, i kind of tipped the balance between the two families and yeah, i think i am a little catastrophic.
if i am indeed pregnant, then maybe it is a sign. anyways im still a little confused about my situation. my crossroad never leaves, really. it appears in every street, in every situation, in every decision.

and today, i have to walk a kilometer to get back to the office coz i went to the german embassy to take his daughter's visa.

curly tops
curls in 20 minutes. dare to believe?
i will start my salon soon! support me! XD
well, yesterday, my usual boring routine was disturbed when i have to go to my boss' chocolate shop again to take pictures. and i have to pass by the mall to ask for free calendars for his daughter, hear me say 'pity me, i don't know what date is today... do you have a free calendar? :)' haha, no, not really...
i know the time, do you know the date?
im slightly patriotic. do you have a calendar with philippine holidays?
i have reinforcement! i totaly finished my flat tops chocolate ;(
then, and my boss' daughter noticed that my face was glowing, and she asked me what foundation i use, so i instinctively said benefit and she was already saying 'i love benefit!!!' when i remembered i woke up late that afternoon and just used pond's powder... well, nevermind, it was probably the honey and orange that changed my face this week anyway, coz maricel noticed my face last saturday, too.
but confusion came today, coz my new bare escentuals foundation came in medium tan, i was using medium beige before and some days i think it makes my face lighter than it is. so i checked the swatch on my hand, and it is slightly nearer to my skintone... although looking at it from the sifter's cover, it looks really dark.
i will start using them tomorrow and see if benefit can make me buy a new foundation faker (coz i am finishing my first buy) or ill go back to bare escentuals...
and this is my new nailpolish! i totally love this! i can't show you how to make it coz i am way too lazy to take photos of step-by-step instructions but basically i painted my nail pink, then painted a litttle half of them red, and on the line separating the two colors i painted z-like blue. i then used konad for the white dots on the pink. it is so rocker cool!
irish will totally love this when she sees it!

last photos
these are some of the last shots from irish'es camera before she left the office:
the reason why im most affected is because nagegets ko si irish, and the best part? nagegets nya rin ako. in short pareho kaming baliw! hahaha... saka magkasundo kami sa maraming bagay - makeup, twilight, malling, makeup, chismis, foodtrips, makeup, rap songs, photography... ano pa ba... nasabi ko na ba yung makeup?!?
but in fairness, she has found a better job. sabi nga nila, kung wala kang ginagawang masama sa kapwa mo, babalik din ang blessing sayo. you go girl!
reflections
ipakita ang jackets!
all smiles!
but in fairness, she has found a better job. sabi nga nila, kung wala kang ginagawang masama sa kapwa mo, babalik din ang blessing sayo. you go girl!
"alam mo girl, mamimiss ka namin... coz you are like sunshine. napapatawa mo kaming lahat, at never kang depressed. saka kain ka ng kain! nahahawa kami sayo, kaya ngayon nagugutom kami ni ate maricel, ikaw ang naaalala namin haha!"
100% macbaby
i squeal everytime i see a mac on a movie. it's just that mac users are a limited few, and i love to see someone using a mac coz i know how happy she is, or will be once she knows the ins and outs of mac computers...
so i also squealed like a piglet when i saw a pink macbook like mine on 'confessions of a shopaholic', and though macs are generally white (or that black macbook that kc concepcion owns), i was happy that she also used a case to beautify her baby. i got mine from ebay and it's a hard case covering the top and the bottom, but hers look like a clasp-on thing...
since 2003 i have been hooked on apple and never got back to pc. my husband bought me and ibook before, and two years ago replaced it with a newer macbook, and it is one machine i can't go through a day without.
i have more than a hundred applications, from simple time displays to serious house renderings, and basically anything that can enhance my usage. i use it when i cook, when i want to watch a movie, when i want to emote with love songs, when working, when vacationing, and in my waking hours, 4 hours will not pass without my hands touching a mac.

i super super love it. and i will not replace it with a pc ever...
dear weather, pls make up your mind
it's unbelievable! almost two weeks now and it's still raining now and then, and now i truly believe that climate change is accelerating and im totally overreacting...
ok, since i have been used to one day rain per weather-changing, it has really delighted me to wake-up hearing raindrops on our window... its so nice to snuggle up and snooze the alarm when it's still dark at 7 am...
fortunately it has been sunny last friday, my usual laundry day. and hopefully these 4-day holiday (yes, four freakin' days again!) will be sunny, too, because irish, maricel and me are planning to go to bcc one of these holidays. since irish left the office, the mall will be our haven of laughter.
i can't believe that it's already 15! 10 more days and i'll be flying home again! i almost don't want to think about it coz i can't suppress the excitement i feel every time i think of jared.
and speaking of excitement, i finally watched new moon last night. i know, almost one month delayed. the thing is, if something gets super-hyped up, i lose interest.
i also got my phone back! so now im back to taking pictures of my nails and eyes, i think ill post them soon!
ill be back soon! its kind of boring in the office coz my boss is out of the country. haven't you noticed i've been blogging every now and then?

ch-ch-changes
ok, lesson no. 37, however good or bad a situation is, it will change.
this week was a rollercoaster of situations in our office, from being the favorite to being scolded, hehe, but everything changes, and i have mastered the art of erasing memories that i don't like.
yet no matter how many times i disappoint my boss he still comes back the next morning with a smile on his face. no memories of phone-slamming the day before. wow... this is so cool!!! i am starting to appreciate my job...
so if it was a bad day i'd probably sleep it out, and if it is a good day i'll post in my blog xD
unfortunately for irish, she was really set to go. too bad, i really wanted her to stay coz she is so much fun to be with, forgetfulness and clumsiness aside. most of the people who left the office said they'll pass by every now and then... but time passes and people forget. i hope it doesn't happen to irish.
anyways as set as i am to go home on the 24th, my boss is also set to go to the far east on saturday. wohoo! 12 days of freedom!
oh, no, i remembered that i was scheduled to clean the pile of stuff i've left at my sidetable when they leave. oh, well, it's still good coz we have another 3-day holiday next week. i love bahrain's holidays!

bitter ka?
since nagkaron ng special awards for pagsisipsip ang aming nagmamagandang receptionist, naging issue na sa office kung sino ba talaga ang paborito at nabibigyan ng halaga.
and as usual, malungkot na naman ang iba, anong bago? lagi naman.
syempre ako naman si sipsip din, magpapatalo ba ko? e di humingi rin ako ng raise, tamang tama renewal ng contract haha! super saya ko talaga pero wala akong mapagsabihan, kasi sabi ni mumu confidential daw yun, para hindi isipin ng iba na bakit sila narenew na lang at lahat lahat pero nadeny naman ang raise...
kaya sinolo ko na lang ang saya... and after a few days nagtanong naman ako kung pwede akong magbakasyon, kase christmas at new year gusto ko kasama ko si jared.
at ang bait talaga sakin ng Diyos, dahil kahit lagi akong me trouble these past few days, pinapayag nya pa rin si mumu. grabe, super saya ko na naman! pero pwede ko na syang ishare, kaya natuwa ako kasi masaya rin sila for me.
kaso nung nalaman na na meron akong raise, dun na nagkaproblema. self-pity, inggit o whatever, dinededma ko na lang kase napapagod na ko magencourage. paulit ulit. at of all people, dapat makakaintindi sila di ba?
hindi ko naman kasalanan na maging paborito, nahihirapan din naman ako sa mood swings ng boss ko, ng mga out of this world na requests nila, at anytime-anywhere na pagiging secretary ko.
kaya pag mainit ang ulo nila dahil blessed ako, pinapabayaan ko na lang, kasi wala naman akong inaapakang tao para mag-apologize di ba? ganito pa rin ako, sipsip nga lang...
super excited na ko, hindi ko pa rin maimagine na uuwi nga ako ngayong pasko! grabe, hindi ako makatulog...

tuesday, why did you come too soon?
after our half day last thursday we had a four-day holiday and suddenly im back here on my desk again!
i was planning to blog about the reviews of my current ebay purchases but i got too lazy.
plus it was depressing coz yesterday my boss' housemaid ran away and he was blaming it on me. is it my fault if she decided to hide and run?
anyways today i was expecting a thunderstorm in the office but it turned out okay, my boss was smiling again and i got my 2nd batch of purchases too!
anyways, im still not in the mood to upload so im gonna leave it all hanging til the next time i blog.
ps. it was a happy day! my ticketing agent got me a cheaper flight (now im sure that i'll go home this christmas) and our salary was 10 hours earlier!

rejected. clouded. (almost) dismissed.
today is not like any other day. i prayed hard for jared's visa and today was the supposed result, it was neither rejected nor approved, it was sent back again for mistakes in the form made by the employer.
and like my mood, the sky was cloudy. rarely ever seen here in bahrain, happening only twice a year when the season changes. i though i overslept again coz the light was almost out when i woke up at 4, and as i walked to work it was beginning to get cold, slightly trembling cold but still bearable.
it was also a hard week for irish, who is always targeted by our superior. to the point where she could lose her job. a point that i could fight for, because i saw how she worked and she was really giving her best to do her duties. i think it was personal because our superior once tried to persuade her to be his girlfriend and she refused.
it's really sad, coz she lights up the place every time she comes. i honestly want her to stay for my sanity. maricel isn't really a happy yellow, and most of the time, she's depressed. irish laughs even though she's sad. she's even more lively than ariane. and we totally get each other.
yes, i want her to stay for personal reasons.
and also because i know she needs this job.

hoping the best, expecting the worst
bambi's company applied for jared's visa again yesterday.
my superior also helped processing his papers in the immigration.
my colleague said, upon reading my fb's status said i can hope but i should not expect. is that even possible?
here we are again in this rollercoaster ride of emotions as we apply for jared's papers and each day we wish to see the 'approved' status in his application number... God, i really hope they'll approve it this time...
on another note, i fired my assistant today. well, actually, yesterday, but today was her last day. and, ok, actually, i didn't. my boss just told me to. ok, my boss fired her. my boss said she was too slow (ehem, physically okay? not mentally) and she doesn't sound like someone he can give infinite orders to.
he kind of thinks that there is someone out there who is like me. and that we should hire her. good luck, coz as far as i know, and without being conceited, this one's unique.
self-admiration aside, i am proud to say that he can depend on me for graphics, not only for advertising but also for his family's personal requirements, and i can be totally reliable in the office as long as i have my n95 for reminders. plus, he can call me whatever time he feels like for instructions, either official or family-related, and i am totally presentable. and decent. and loyal. and tidy.
ok, maybe not tidy.
so today i was flying solo. again. running here and there, and didn't even get to sleep in the afternoon coz maricel and irish went to our house for a konad/manicure session.
but i was too happy to design their nails anyways! actually, you couldn't count maricel's nails as nails, coz they're too small :)
that base is awesome!
*update* unfortunately it's sticky and it gives me a hard time blending my powder eyeshadow. i think it makes them clumpy, too... too bad coz it's so long-lasting and makes the colors vivid!
my superior also helped processing his papers in the immigration.
my colleague said, upon reading my fb's status said i can hope but i should not expect. is that even possible?
here we are again in this rollercoaster ride of emotions as we apply for jared's papers and each day we wish to see the 'approved' status in his application number... God, i really hope they'll approve it this time...
on another note, i fired my assistant today. well, actually, yesterday, but today was her last day. and, ok, actually, i didn't. my boss just told me to. ok, my boss fired her. my boss said she was too slow (ehem, physically okay? not mentally) and she doesn't sound like someone he can give infinite orders to.
he kind of thinks that there is someone out there who is like me. and that we should hire her. good luck, coz as far as i know, and without being conceited, this one's unique.

pink base with black flowers. we chose the smallest flowers, obviously.
i also put eyeshadow on irish', coz i am always excited to put eyeshadow on everybody. i actually did maricel and kat's eyes last halloween party!
parang natutulog lang hehe!
and these are my eyes today, compliments of sephora's freebie:
aaaawww, i really love this violet shade!
and since i bought sephora's eye base, i noticed that even the eyeshadows that i have labelled X before (coz they're useless) are now giving amazing shades!
i was ignoring this shade before, but when i tried it now i was surprised to see that it was a shimmering gold eyeshadow!

an epiphany
since my raise this contract renewal, bambi and i both decided to bring jared here. after months and months of contemplating, i realized that, maybe it is not about the destination, it is about the journey, too.
cliche, i know.
i just thought, nobody knows what will happen in two years. whatever, i just want to spend our time together, wherever we may be.
so it has been decided that we will just make it up to jared to at least go out once a week to any mall where there is an early learning centre so he could also enjoy going out since most of the time he'll just be indoors here. and load him lots of toys, too, so he will not be bored.
finally, there is one night where i couldn't sleep not because i was crying, but because i was so excited for December to come.
and aside from that, my Visa credit limit has also been raised by around $300.
my lucky stars found me at last!
mascara tips and sleeping.
after i finished all my pending work today i took some time - ...well actually even if im not finished i always take the time to check 4-5 websites, everyday.
1. yahoo mail
2. ebay
3. friendster
4. facebook
5. my blog
and since i had time to read all my previous posts in the homepage i noticed that my topics were usually either nail polish, eyeshadow, jared, or my lateness at work.
the last one i cannot explain. sometimes my alarm just doesn't reach my eardrums. xD
ok, no.
im just really into sleeping. actually i feel sleepy just now. unfortunately i still have to cook before bambo arrives at 10. did i just type bambo?!? ahaha.
anyways, in the mornings i have no trouble waking up because i usually look forward to breakfast. in the afternoon it's harder coz i already ate before i slept. waking up means heading back to the office where there is no pillow.
the face routine in the afternoon, and on rare mornings when i wake up at 7:50, is plain & simple baby powder, blush and eyeliner.
unlike in the morning where i have a blowdrier and eyeshadow brush in both hands, i don't give much effort in the afternoons. that's why i can sleep until 3:50.
i know some people disregard sleeping. they may go to bed at 3 and wake up at 7 with no problems. i can't. if time is compromised, i wouldn't eat in the afternoon and just sleep.
anyways, mascara maintenance 101 today, since i have noticed that my bodyshop volume mascara is getting clumpier again.
the mascara tips that i'd like to share are:
1. do not pump your mascara as you pull it out. it creates air bubbles inside which may cause your mascara to dry faster. twist it instead, while you're pulling it out.
2. make sure you keep the opening clear. wipe off excess mascara in the opening of your tube. this might be the bacteria's headquarters if you don't keep it clean.
3. unless you have thin lashes, don't coat more than twice. you'll look too made up, and that's not really our goal, isn't it?
4. wait for your mascara to dry before you apply the 2nd coat, otherwise they'll clump in your lashes.
5. keep a cotton bud around so you can easily clean smudges. wiping with your fingers might smear the mascara, and once it dries you might have a black stain in your eyelid. for the whole day.
4. also, do not share mascaras with friends, no matter how close you are or no matter how close you want to be. its not hygienic, hello?
and always remember that mascaras has a shelf life of only 6 months. discard it afterwards otherwise you might be wearing an eyepatch for three days...

30 minutes
i woke up at 7:41 am.
and reached the office at 8:12.
who could top that?!?
i can't believe it either! i did take a shower, hello!?! and managed everything i usually do in the morning except eat.
as i always say, if im late, then im late. better to do everything i need to do, then...
anyways it's just a blessing that my office is walking distance.
so, as its getting colder and colder, i am getting happier becoz it means december is getting nearer!
my fear right now is what if i liked staying in manila? when i saw jared in carmen's place i almost wanted to go home.
but the reason that hit me is that if i stay, i could be able to have a better home, and i would be able to stay home for a while. and i definitely would like to stay home with jared for a while. he'd be three at that time, so i would also be able to buy him good toys.
my superior (we call him 'the other one'), as he's not really my boss so we'll call him my superior to be more appropriate, asked me how can i do it. he has a newborn baby, too and he said just staying in the office makes him miss his baby, so how much more me?
i've been asked that question, by others and by myself, so it was as simple at it was as hurtful: it's either his happiness or mine, so it's not really a choice at all.
my sister disagrees.
