chuck taylor

A month ago, the sister of my grandmother (she's staying with us before that incident) gave my lacoste rubber shoes to her daughter-in-law. what?! Yes, she gave it without asking me kung ipamimigay ko na ba iyon. E yung sintas nun nasa closet ko pa. Pinalabhan ko kasi nga medyo madumi. Napakasama ng loob ko kasi may sentimental value iyon. Hay, ano pa ba ang magagawa ko? alangan naman kunin ko pa.

So today i went to the mall and bought myself this... chuck taylor. Next time yung brown naman, then yung red, then yung pink, then yung white... hahaha

the holy week

Maundy Thursday. Manila Ocean Park, here we come! Big Mistake! Napakaraming tao, It's as if all of us thought that going there on a Holy Thursday is a good idea. Paid for almost 2K for about 30mins of walking... and i wasn't able to hold the star fish... and i wasn't able to feed the shark (haha!) and try the fish spa (waiting pa daw for 20mins).

too crowded!

Good Friday. Accompanied my daughter at the church for her workshop. Before I left her there, took some pictures.

for the procession in the afternoon

Black Saturday. Sabado de Gloria Mass. Rejoice! Christ has risen!

candle light dance (sorry can't use the flash)

Easter Sunday. The weather is unbearable. Time to go the beach... or have an inflatable pool.

Bukas, balik opisina uli. Kabilis naman ng bakasyon.

To open or not to open

Here's the thing. The employees (of the shop that I am handling) asked for a store closure today. I told them to write a letter for their request. They wrote, faxed, made follow-up calls. Then yesterday they told me that their request was approved (good for them, kami kasi sa office hindi declared na early holiday today). I saw the paper with the "OK" note with it plus the signature of the one who approved. It's settled then, closed for the day. Last night I received a text message from the manager telling me that the management was asking them to open the store today "kahit hanggang 4pm". What???! Why is this sudden change of mind? Kasi ba dahil hindi kami early holiday kaya they wanted to have this pattern also sa store? I wonder why. I let them be.

Have a meaningful holy week everyone!

havaianas and others

goodbye my havaianas.

hello passport! I got it last Friday.

It has been one hell of a week for me... and it will still be this coming week. Naduduling na ako sa mga numbers. Isama mo pa ang mga pasaway na mga staff na kumukuha ng backpay nila. Tapos kung anu-ano pa ang ipinakiki-usap sa certificate of employment. Tapos may magtatanong pa na "Ma'am, ilan buwan ko po ba makukuha yung COE?" Argh! I answered "ano ba naman tanong iyan? ikaw itong nagpapabago ng COE tapos ganyan ang sinasabi mo. Gusto mo next year or in 2 years time mo balikan certificate mo." Hindi siya umimik. Dagdag ko pa "Kung hindi ka makakapag-antay, heto yung napirmahan na certificate, kunin mo" sagot niya, "tatawag na lang po ako ma'am"
