Updates Since Last Year

Nearly forgot about this blog already, not good at all. Since December last year quite a lot has happened. Since I can't remember everything, I'll just post about the major differences or similarities.

Going to work regularly at Ozcare, but not getting enough hours for some months now so I thank God for being able to get shifts the past couple of months at Tallai Glades. I like both jobs since they're relatively similar but some times I wish I did a totally different career path. Well, whatever's necessary to earn money as long as it's good honest work is alright in my books.

Still renting at Ate Mila's house. M1, M2 and N aren't any more. Am not really on good terms with M2. Too long a story to rant about in here. I try to just generally go about my business and treat her like the stranger she pretty much told me to be. I think that's loads better than actually disliking her. Better to not know someone than stress about not liking someone; especially if that someone said (although not her exact words, but they're the gist of it) that she'd rather really not like having me around. Wish she'd just do the same and get on with her life and stop saying comments behind my back that I could perfectly hear (although she never does it when there are other people around sides for M1). *long sigh* I just hate this situation with her. And the only reason she told me why she disliked me so much was coz I was too noisy. *shrug* Whatever. So, like I said, staying at Ate Mila's. It certainly is a lot more quiet now compared to before. Definitely a lot more relaxed. It's like being part of their family but not really... coz Tamara's treating me somewhat like a sister/playmate. And although I've never been close to her like M1 was, I open up more and chat a lot more with Ate Mila now.

Which reminds me, I met more of Ate Mila's family, sides from her older daughters. Meet her ex, Alan and his kids Greg and Gina. Greg's my favorite coz he's so easy to tease. And he literally screams like a girl. They're supposed to be coming back here in the Gold Coast at Christmas, so that'll be fun. Alan and Mila are joking about finding a husband for me, but really... I don't want to marry some old bloke just to stay here. I see nothing wrong about going back in the Philippines and staying there for good if I need to.

Which leads me to my next update: dad's back home, in the Philippines. He's been back for some months now. Mom and he are as thick as honey, if what Tita Betty told me is true lolz... talked to them on video chat yesterday. Dad said he got tanned coz of working in the sun. He built a wall for the back of the house and is now currently renovating the kitchen. Just in time too coz the people who bought the house at the back of ours took down the wall that used to be there. Our home would've been exposed like some stage show for the public traveling the MacArthur Highway to see if dad didn't build that wall in time. Mom looks happy. She's actually growing her hair longer. I think she's a lot more conscious about how she looks now that dad's back, which I find cute and rather icky... coz hello, who'd really want to think of their parents doing the deed? Icky... but kinda cute, especially at their age.

Oh, I had a hair cut recently. Had it cut shoulder length and kinda bob-like. Some of my classmates commented I looked like an elementary student. The hairdresser thought I was in high school! LOLz :-P I somehow don't mind. I'm so far liking it being short. Never mind that my hair tends to go buhaghag, it's sorta the thing here... coz we're in the Gold Coast, there's a lot of beaches, so a lot of sea breeze... my hair makes me look like I've just been at the beach which I find funny coz I haven't been to the beach in MONTHS now.

Depending on the style of the clothes, I'm nearly four dress sizes lower compared to last year. Yey me! ^_^ Still trying to lose more inches, and get more muscle definition. Bought a book about pilates, so I'll study it a bit before actually getting into it, and see if it's for me. Coz I really am not the regular exercise sort of person. I like to walk but with summer coming and my tendency to get bungang-araw that itch like crazy whenever I'm even slightly exposed to the sun well, suffice it to say that walking might not be such a good idea. I soooooo miss winter.

Can't really think of much else I wanna post right now. I'll try to post again sometime soon.
