Ylan’s Refuge

If the rainy season has started, too bad, it ain’t raining on my pocket as well. I’m so broke I’m thinking of selling my one year old pink laptop. It will be a sad thing to do since it’s my most favorite material possession to date. I can sell it and buy a cheaper one, can pick any discount laptop computers maybe and still have some extra dough from selling my laptop. But that’s probably the last thing I would do.

Ah hard times… but I am stronger than my problems I should get by soon.

By the way, it’s going to be a long weekend for us. I’ll probably go for a spiritual retreat. Wanna join?

Our country is prone to weather distress, typhoons. We get typhoons all year round, in effect floods is everywhere. Countless of farms and livestock had been damaged because of the unfavorable weather.

And since because most of our houses are made of light materials such as wood and nipa, houses are swept away too especially in areas where flashfloods are present. Maybe it’s high time we consider metal building as an alternative to housing? At least they could be sturdy but considering our humid weather as well, I don’t think the majority will favor it. But if it were for safety and comfort, I guess it would be a nice try.

And speaking of weather, it’s been raining every night lately. Ahmnn I kind of don’t like it. I have a scheduled trip end of the month and I wish nothing but a sunny nice weather to come.

I’m listening to an old song entitled ‘let’s get physical’ and it got me thinking to actually do it. I mean you know run and exercise, anything I need to do to lose weight. Or I can just buy liporexall to put an end to my weight dilemmas.

Last week, I had to ask my sister who works in a retail store to buy me a new pair of pants. All of the pants that still fit me are all soiled and I tried to put on the rest of my pants, alas, can’t zip them! How about that?

I emptied one of my shirt boxes (storage) last weekend and half of them went to another bag I’m ready to distribute to my siblings and relatives. All because I can’t wear them anymore!

I’m just glad I got my new work uniform already so I need not worry about what to wear every day. I only have Fridays to deal with. The closest I can grab is a pair of jeans and polo shirt. Waahh! I’m kinda shabby lately. Lol!

The long weekend I anticipated didn’t happen. The President didn’t move the Independence Day holiday to Monday from Sunday. I was so looking forward to another day off since I have been really busy doing household chores. And it doesn’t help that i’m having stomach upsets again. Haay.

At least the next weekend will be a long weekend again. No work this coming Friday and Monday, so neat! I don’t have plans except for another round of household chores, this time doing my laundry. Sending them to laundry shop is the easiest and simplest answer but I hate that all clothes when they came back are wrinkled so bad! I’d have to spend more time on ironing then, which I hate doing by the way.

So, this coming weekend, all I really intend to do is pig out (assuming won’t have stomach problems anymore) and sleep, sleep, sleep. Or watch movies.

What about you?

I just bought a local celebrity magazine that featured the story of a young promising actor who passed away last April. Untimely demise as most people would say. He was groomed to become one of the most bankable actors of his time. In fact, the day after his sudden death, he was to appear in a lot of shows and photo shoots. A couple of movies and tele series were lined up for him. His family is well off i believe even before he became an actor so i assume he had a life insurance and such. At least it won’t be that hard for the family moneywise.

But more than anything else, as i read through the article, i now feel the sympathy of his fans and family. He was such a wonderful boy. He did great with his job and yet excels in his studies. And even by his looks, i can say that he is a nice being. I can still picture him in his role as a priest in an early evening tv series. He is a loss to his fans, colleagues and definitely to his family.

What a realization. We really cannot tell what is going to happen in the next 60 minutes or 60 seconds of our lives. Only someone from up above does know.

OMG! I still don’t have a dress to wear this coming Sunday for my friend’s wedding! I only have tomorrow afternoon to find one. And I’m hoping that I can wake up early so I could attend the 10:30am birthday party of my other friend’s son. Hectic weekend?

Diet pills that work fast is something that I’ve been looking for so I could easily find a nice dress. Fast like can work in 24hours! Haha! Kidding!

Right now, all I want is for me to feel better so I could enjoy the parties this weekend. Otherwise, I might wind up myself in the hospital. Huhuh!

I am still in pain. Stomach pains that is. It started last weekend during our section summer outing. Until now the pain is still agonizing. Yes, it has subsided a little but the pains have reached to another level and it’s really, really killing me. How I would just want to lay down still and do nothing. I’m even afraid to eat something for it might just get worst.

No it’s not a case of indigestion or food poisoning or diarrhea. I’m suffering from reflux esophagitis. Can’t explain in details but you may want to look it up if you’re curious. Based on my readings, some ways to prevent it from happening is to eat small meals and avoid spicy and fatty foods.

I should really consider cleansonix when I feel a little better. It would probably be a good idea as part of my goal to start off a good diet.

It really pays not be a glutton. Now I realize that. Big time! Lol!

I was busy cleaning the house last weekend. I had to segregate things that need to be thrown away already. It’s still pretty messy out there. Still unfinished but I’m getting there, at least until I get back next weekend.

Browsing though old albums and knickknacks when my mother commented that my younger sister didn’t have any picture during her graduation day in college. Told her it must have been just stored somewhere. She insisted there was none. Well, that’s sad. Pictures are one of our keepsakes during momentous events. So now, I had to look for my sister’s diploma. At least there’s something she can really keep.

But housekeeping will resume next weekend yet. Why not this weekend? If weather permits, I’m going to Camotes Island with my coworkers to conclude summer. Wanna go with us? We do welcome guests to join in.

My friends in Michigan are going to Holland (Michigan) this weekend. I’m kind of envious because i would have wanted to see the lush tulip plantation in this side of the state myself. Plus, it’s always nice to travel with a group of friends. I’ve heard they will be renting a bigger vehicle so they could just drive and ride all together. I guess it would all be easy knowing that roadside assistance plan can sure be of help if anything happens.

I won’t be able to see the nice view of the flowers, but i’d be more than happy to see the pictures when they get back. If i have a chance to be assigned in MI again, i’ll make sure i’ll get to visit Holland, as long as the time and weather permits. Or better yet, i’ll go to Holland, (The Netherlands) the country! Lol! Must be more abundant tulips there eh?

Last last week, I accompanied a friend scouting for a ring that has her birth stone. There were lots of designs to choose from I could not decide what to pick if I were her. Different shades and different cuts, fortunately the stores didn’t have much designs for the stone ruby otherwise I would left home with a heavy heart because I’m not buying anything for myself and I’ll be just be imagining all those pieces of gems. Hahah!

There’s the 14k gold cross that struck my eyes though. Not sure if it’s because it’s holy week that left me wanting the pendant. One thing sure I would have bought it if I had the money.

Oh by the way, how’s your holy week?
