Random Thoughts

• It's almost NanoWrimo Month!! Whee...the joy of writing...hmm...maybe I should have an IEP related plot going on. Lol. I know I can write about that.
  
  
• I will write notes to myself about driving....1) Look at the blind spot. 2) Don't make such a wide turn. 3) Look behind you before backing out. 4) One more hand on the steering wheel when I make my right turn. Lol...the list is growing!

• Sometimes, I just wish I could just be selfish and say, "No, pick me, pick me instead!!!" Oh well.

And those are my random thoughts for the day. It's a good Saturday!!!

Driving = Freedom

I had my second driving lesson last week. I am thinking that I am getting better. At least I hope so! I am trying, oh so hard!

The second day was definitely better than the first time. For one, I felt more relaxed and I actually enjoyed being behind the wheel. Looking at the road in front of me, at the signs, at the traffic light and at the people / pedestrians. Of course, I still have my usual turning problems or stopping instead of just going problem. I guess coming from a place where there are different rules, its just a habit that's difficult to break. But what the heck, I will do what it takes to try to pass the DMV test.

I can only imagine the things that I can do when I can drive. For one, I don't have to wake up sooo early just to catch the bus. I imagine, I will still go to work early, I love the fact that when I get there, there's only a few people around and you have time to think and plan what you want to do for the day.

Then, I can go back to school and start working on my credentials. That's the ultimate goal that I have when I learn to drive. I am counting the days and hours when I can finally take the test, or die trying! It'll feel infinitely loads better, for me! Not to mention more convenient! No more lugging around huge bags from Target or Walgreens or Trader Joe's. I won't have to wait for 20 minutes or so or worry that I actually had missed the bus. Oh well.

Hmm....better think good thought then so it'll all come back to me!!!

Goodbye my sweet angel...

I never met you but you're so real to me.

I know you're an angel in the sky now, watching over your mom and dad and your big brother.

We love you very very much, good bye our sweet angel, Nonoy!!!

A lazy Saturday!

Today, I had a moment to settle some of the bills that I have pending and I most say I hate bill. I really do...hehehe...I miss my paycheck but its still weeks before I get that.

In the meantime, roomie and I are just waiting in anticipation of that happy day. I probably will end up spending most of it because I have a balikbayan to fill but oh, it would be oh so great. I'm hoping that this box will leave and arrive in time for December. This is probably the last one that I will send. Not that I don't want to send them anything, but it does take time to fill and prepare. I know my last box was filled to the rafters and I must say, beautifully sturdy. I had to google on tips to make sure that the bb was at least "nakaw proof." Hehehe...it was wrapped in packaging tape from the inside and the outside. Hehehe...any would-be magnanakaw would have been proud to have breached its contents, lol. But alas, nothing to steal there but towels, the ever present canned goods (Spam), clothes, bags, wallets, some chocs and stuff for my nephews. This new bb would be filled with basically the same thing. Sorry guys, no electronics, lol. You're better off buying stuff there in case it breaks and you have the warranty to make sure you get something to replace it.

I think I will spend some of my afternoon just putting things away in my room. I was working on work related paper stuff and my room looked like a tornado just came in. Hmm...maybe there was I just didn't notice it. But all in all, it was well worth it since I got something done. Yey!! Tomorrow, to the school I'll go and finish my work related thingy, finish my lesson plan, make copies, go to Trader Joe's probably or Target if I'm not lazy and then spend the rest of the day being lazy, again!

What I am excited about is getting my laminator. It won't be the school's but mine, all mine. I'll have a fun time laminating all my icons, yes, they are mine since they are my labor of love, lol. And making more for some of the kids who I think will need it.

Oh yeah, I did have this crazy craving for ice cream. No particular flavor. I'm glad I don't have a car because that would mean walking to the nearest wherever I can get ice cream. Hehehe...oh well. By that time, the craving will be gone by then. Plus its so cold! Its been cloudy today and its supposed to rain on Monday. Oh no! I'm not ready for a rainy Monday...hopefully it won't be that bad while I wait for my bus then.

Right guy, wrong time, wrong place

I met him many months ago, maybe six or five. He seemed perfect! He was cute, very tall, had a cute smile with dimples that just made you want to pinch his cheeks. He had a job he loved and he was dedicated to it. So dedicated that he has been pursuing is doctorate degree in physical therapy for years and years and for three years more. And there's the distance, what 6,000 miles according to him and even when he was closer (Texas) the distance felt even more. He was honest right from the start so I knew pretty much that he was never going to be more than a friend. It was the first time two nights ago that we stayed up late for 5 hours just talking in skype. We talked from Pinoy food which he loves and the Pinoy food that he tried like balut and durian but never adidas. Lol. We talked about places we had been to but at different times, Camiguin, Davao, Malagos, Eden, Philippine Eagle, Hot and Cold Springs, White Island, etc. He remembered Wowwowwee and Boom Tarat tarat for some reason, Super Inggo which he found corny but could not help laughing at even though he did not understand a single word. We talked about failed relationships and life goals. I will never stop him from achieving his life goals. I know I had mine and that was completing my masters degrees. But I know that I will never be able to wait for him for three years because its such a long time. Who knows what will have happened then. But it makes me so sad that I met someone who I thought would've been perfect but at the wrong time when something else is his priority and at the wrong place. I wish I could move to Ireland! Lol. But that can never be. I guess the real test of love is learning to let go, so that the person who you love will truly fulfill their destiny. It may not be with you,  could be with someone else.
I rest my case. And now it's time for me to move on!
