Tired, exhausted and about to Sleep!!!

Komban wa Mina-san!!!

I'm really bushed but I am still operative. I am glad that at least I was able to finish a job I planned today. It is really exhausting to cut papers and draw in them afterward. Speaking of which, I have my finished products here.

JAN!!!


These cutouts used most of my day! Good thing I am good at multi-tasking, if not, I wouldn't have been able to do other things. The sad part today is that I wasn't able to study my Japanese lesson; but, I guess, that's alright, I still have tomorrow. Next time, I will not volunteer for a job that might use most of my day-off. I really wish I could have studied more. Oh yeah, I tried my new jacket and it's cool. I washed it earlier so i can wear it tomorrow. I'll be posting pics of it here tomorrow. Before I forget, among those that I have drawn for the team one of them is me.

JAN!!!


hahaha! Isn't he cute, like me.... ahahaha!!!


By the way, have you eaten yet Mina-san... Well, I haven't. Actually, I am eating right now. I have spaghetti and bread for dinner. Well, that's all for now. I really have to work on my other blog. Enjoy your day Mina-san. Oyasuminasai!!!!

Impulsive buying!!!

Konnichiwa Mina-san!

just got back from Divisoria. As expected of Divisoria, it's crowded but not as much as before. Perhaps, everyone is at home making the most of their holiday vacation. Anyway, the purpose i went to Divisoria was to look for PJ's. Unfortunately, the items I bought weren't the ones I planned. The first item was a red Jacket.


The first time I saw it, I liked it! It was as if calling me. Naaaah... that was just an excuse. My impulsive buying sickness has occurred again. I bought it because I always wanted to have something red in my closet. For a long time now, I considered buying a jacket. And voila!!! something red and a jacket is what I got when I went out today! I'm going to test it later!



The second item was a black scarf. I don't really know why I bought it but I did. Hope I can find something in my closet that would suit it.




Buying clothes weren't the only reason I went out. The other reason was to purchase materials for my whiteboard project. I haven't come up of anything good so far, but I have a rough draft in my mind. Hope it turns out okay.That's it for now.... I've got to work on the project. Ja!

Starting the day!


Ohayou Gozaimasu Mina-san!

Kyou wa ore no kyuujitsu desu!

Today is my off from work! Today, I will just be studying Nihonggo, write articles and work on the whiteboard design. I woke real late today at around 8am. I haven't eaten a real breakfast yet but I did grab a bite of the cake I set aside. I will be going out later so I can buy the items I need for the whiteboard. Then, I might go to divisoria to check some PJ's. Hope I can find something really cute. As for now, I am studying my Nihonggo lessons. It is really hhard to do self-study, there's no one to practice the language with. Well, I'll still do my best. Gambattemasu! Oh yeah, I can't think of something to write for my other blogs. Well, I have thought of something but I don't know the content that I will be putting in. I am still looking for the right vocabulary to use. Anyway, I might make it through.... hope I can! That's all for now. I'll be updating you more, a little later!


Just a thought, this is the first time I made a post in the morning. Oftentimes, I am only able to do this at night with my job and all. JA!


Me at Home!


Komban wa Mina-san

When I got home, I went to my room immediately to start working on my blogs. Then, I realized that I wanted to eat, so I fixed myself before going down only to find myself taking pictures of me. Right now, I am still writing articles, reading a manga for my other blog, studying Nihonggo and listening to a Japanese song. Now that’s what you call multi-tasking. LoL!!! I just finished dinner. I had adobo (a Filipino cuisine) and a glass of C2. And I am still thinking of ideas for my team’s whiteboard. To be honest, I want to catch some Z’s already, I am kind of sleepy but that’s okay, I have to at least update my other blogs before I sleep. Anyway, after taking a few shots of myself, I went down the apartment to buy a custard cake from the nearest bakery.




One thing weird though is that while I was climbing the staircase to my apartment, there was this guy who at first was tailing me. Then, he overtook me while saying that I was walking far too slow. After that, he would constantly stop in front of me. When I was about to go past him, he would rush forward and complete a flight of stairs then stop in front of me. He did this about four times before he left me alone. It really puzzled me since it shouldn’t have affected his climb because the staircases were wide. Also, I wanted to walk slowly because I was drowsy. I was just being cautious and, of course, lazy. Anyway, I can’t figure out what’s up with that person. So even after what he did, I just ignored him! Poor him, the person he was trying to annoy was reluctant, I was reluctant! LOL!



That’s all for now Mina-san… I still have to work on my other articles. Oyasumi nasai Mina-san!


Ja MATA ne?!

An awesome day!!!

Komban wa Mina-san


Today seemed to be a very good day! When I woke up, it felt like everything is okay! As I was travelling towards my workplace, I saw the beautiful sight! I took a picture of it.


When I saw it, I knew that today will be a good day. Guess what? Today was indeed a good day! When I got to the office, all my teammates were in good and high spirits. Everyone was laughing and kidding. It was the nicest shift I had so far. No one really felt the queue so much, everyone was smiling. As the day progressed, our team finally received our white board, so I volunteered to decorate it.


So far, there isn’t much to be done with just a white board marker, I decided to make all the preparations for the whiteboard at home. That way, I can make cut-outs and come up with an interesting idea for the board. My supervisor agreed to my plan. Since that were the case, I just drew a couple of things in the board. Hehehe! Maye, one of my teammates found my drawings cute, and am quite happy with her feedback. So, I will do my best to make my work nice. GAMBATTEMASU!




On the latter part of the shift, the calls weren’t so many, so we had a lot of time to fool around. I took the opportunity to have a picture of me taken for today’s blog. LOL! The funny thing is, one of my colleagues said that I am getting fat. Well… not really fat but that I am gaining weight. Interesting that that wasn’t the first time I received that comment this month. Maybe it is a result of the holidays. It is good that I am gaining weight but hopefully I don’t become fat. I wish that I will just gain enough meat so I won’t look so skinny.




The day continued, and our spirits were still high. Even when the shift has ended, everyone was still bouncy and happy. Hope we keep this up!

an exhausting day!

Yesterday was kind of exhausting, I don’t know why! Anyway, I can’t remember much of what happened. The most that I can remember is that when I was on the bus on my way home. Then, I fell asleep and woke up realizing that I was past my stop. I had to wait for the bus to wait for its routine and paid an extra amount. When I got to my apartment, no one was there since my family has already left to go home to Laguna. A few minutes later though, ate Xyza and ate Marichu came knocking on my door. Then I remembered that my mom had already informed me that ate Xyza will be staying overnight at my apartment. Since ate Xyza is like family, I just let her be and let her attend to her own business while I went straight to my room to work on some articles for my other blogs. However, before I started to work, I had a talk with them first. Of course, since it was me, I blabbered about a lot of things. I guess, one could call it “updating people”. LOL! I was practically telling them what I saw doing and what I am studying. A little later, I left them alone to watch TV and went to work.

Not so long after, I got hungry. Guess what I had for diner. Well……………..?! : ) Okay, I’ll tell you. It is three slices of Yellow Cab pizza. I just couldn’t remember what time. Then I had a glass of soda to push the food down my throat. LOL!



After a dainty meal, I proceeded with working on my blogs. Oh I forgot to tell you guys that before I went home I purchased four items. They were a box of hook pins, a Japanese calendar, a hanging thingy and a padlock. The hook pins were for my necklace collection. Yes! I am starting a necklace collection. Since I already purchased a cork board beforehand, I only needed the hook pins to get my necklaces hanged and organized. Not only am I collecting necklaces but also I am collecting caps; and that was the reason for the hanging thingy. They will be used for to hang my caps so that it is easy to see and grab them. It will greatly help me when I fix myself in the morning. The other hanging thingy was for my belts. I have very few belts and I have not decided whether I should add more. I want to buy bonnets as well, I saw one at Megamall. It was the cutest thing. It was black with a glittery skull print, isn’t it cute. Going back to the items I have purchased, the third item was a Japanese calendar. I wanted to install a calendar in my room. Since I am studying Nihonggo, I believe that it would be beneficial if I bought a Japanese calendar; and so I did. The last item was a padlock. It is for my locker in the office.

The day was long, so after writing an article or two, I went to bed.

RENOVATIONS


Komban wa Mina-san!


This is in actuality a late post; however, I still would like to write about it here… hehehe!!! Two days ago was the beginning of my apartment’s renovation. My parents wanted to add a room so that my siblings and I would have our own rooms. It has been planned months ago but the realization of the plan happened two days ago. It was exhausting, though I didn’t do much. The reason I said that it was exhausting was because I couldn’t find a place to sit or lay down. It was chaotic but I didn’t say anything because the person renovating kindly sacrificed his supposedly Christmas vacation just so he can work on my apartment. After hours of work, they were able to finish most of the work. Then they decided to call it a day and leave the rest of the work for the following day; and that’s what exactly happened. After everything was done, I couldn’t complain for anything. I’m quite satisfied of how it turned out. Thanks Henrynii-san!!!

Working on a Holiday!!!

KOMBANWA MINA-SAN!

Working during holidays really sucks, right? I mean everybody else is having a great time and celebrating while we are stuck in the office working and addressing issues of customers. It’s really exhausting when one thinks about it. But what can we do, we need to earn. It's just sad though. Anyway, in reference to that, I came in for work early this morning. Unlike any other day, today was especially very quite. My trip from my house that normally takes about an hour is reduced to 30 minutes. So I decided to walk the short distance from the bus stop to the office. It felt like I was walking through a ghost town. The only people I saw were the security guards. When I got to the office, I was 45 minutes early. So I visited my friends at the 34th floor and then went to the pantry to grab a bite. I ate a donut, a twist, a serving of spaghetti and large ice tea. After eating, I went to my station and started to set-up my tools. Surprisingly enough, the queue was full. It's exhausting. Sadly, my first call was short. The customer asked to add new memory modules to his system. So I processed it for him. Then the next call came, the call lasted for 2 and a half hour. The customer was so complicated it took all I have to work with him. Anyway, after a long time of discussion the call ended. During lunch, I went to the mall (PODIUM) to purchase a cooling fan for my mom's notebook. I guess, this will be my Christmas present for her. Nowadays, I no longer have good ideas for gifts so i end up either giving monetary gifts, on-the-spot gifts or no gifts at all. LOL! Going back to how my day went, it was crazy but I guess I can get through it. After lunch, I went back to my station. Before going back, I went to Seven-Eleven to buy a big cup of beverage. When I got back, the queue has already subsided but once in a while it would spike up. There was no way to predict it, but I somehow survived all that. When the shift ended, I requested to have our team picture taken. Unfortunately, Ivan can’t participate in the picture because he was still engaged in a call. On our way out, Rich gave out her gifts to us… well… it was a pack of “POLVORON”…. it’s more like a giveaway than a gift, but who cares it’s the thought that counts. At least she gave us something. Oh, before I forget, Beau also gave me a gift in the form of a load. LOL!!! Thank you guys for the gifts, I really appreciated them. The last event for today was when I fell asleep in the bus and went past my stop. It was crazy! I had to wait for the bus to complete his route so I can get off to where I was supposed to stop. After all that, I was exhausted and have no more energy left exempt to finish this blog…. Hehehe!!! Well, till the next blog! JA MATA MINA-SAN!!!
