It's my 7 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
And I still haven't post an update or two ever since 🙃
Work... and life get in the way... too overwhelming that sleep is not even enough 😶
Slight pain in my sprained left ankle... and first day of marathon training is fast approaching...
Sheeessshhh
Almost 3 Years
So much happened within that period... some of them were one of the life milestones; and I don't even know where to start. I don't think a single post could be enough to highlight those.
And on top of that... life got in the way... then pandemic happen 😔
However, because of Christmas season, and too much greetings on social media (sometimes i get tired of), I decided to take time off on main platforms and decided to update this blog (kinda missed out this one, hehe 😁)
will write one & post later 📝
New Year, No Training? 🤔
Last week, trainer asked me if we could go on training. I replied that we'll resume on January because of deadlines and anticipated monthly period. I bet he's disappointed because we managed to get a workout even during Christmas season; he replied encouraging me to train because he's available until Friday. Now, here's a thing. Last Tuesday, he again asked me to train for the whole week. Unfortunately, monthly period struck, first day indeed, so I declined. He hasn't replied ever since. And no reply as of this moment. And it makes me wonder what happened. Is he just on family vacation? Or he just relied on my previous message that I'll resume training on first week of 2018? Or he just got his reassignment to other branch? The third possibility got me, well, restless or something. Because he mentioned of the reshuffle of personnel at the start of their fiscal year. If that's so... it's either I should look for a new trainer... Or start training on my own... 🙏🙏🙏
Slight case of amnesia
So i filed my leave of absence for my unused special leave. Incidentally, it's my 2nd day of monthly period. Cancelled my gym training and spent my entire day for ATM replacement...
... only to find out when I got home that I cannot find my keys in my bag!!! 😖😖😫😫😭😭
Made my list of all the places/establishments i went to, stopped by and transacted for the entire day.. and still trying to figure out where on earth i placed my keys... even asked my grab driver if he had seen them...
Gotta go back tomorrow to those places... and I think someone will be sleepless tonight...
Week-long vacay
After almost 3 weeks of immobility due to right wrist injury and almost 5 weeks of meeting endless deadlines, it' time to reap my rewards. Just joined and finished that gruesome 25-km running event for 4 hours. Took rest, packed my stuff, all set and ready to go... for a week-long vacation. Yay!! With pre-arranged airfare and hotel accommodations, all I had to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy all the view, sights, and taste the countryside has to offer.
Oh how I loved the sunrise...
Can't imagine how I'm blessed and grateful with these wonders of nature...
How I wish I could go back here next time...
yep... taking things easy... one at a time...
yasss!!! just when i need it the most... 👊
Boredom Shmoredom
my right arm under the cast for 3 weeks now; follow-up within 4-6 weeks, per md orders. if the pain still lingers on after that, will undergo mri.... or worse, surgery. 😰😰😰 and I need to get back to work. aside from sucking myself in the household, my wallet is bleeding profusely 'cause of no pay at all. on the second thought, I would ask myself; how can I go to work carrying my bag and other stuff with just my left arm; how can I perform at work with an arm sling all day everyday; how can I prepare office correspondence or communication letters and sign documents at the same time with immobilized right hand. oh heavens, mercy mercy me... ps: this stuff being done with my left hand... 😐😐
Recap
whut... did you say... 8 months since my last post?! okay, been dealing with some stuff lately... here's the deets: * work, work work - did I mention earlier that I worked for government agency? well, if you do, you can relate being in the frontline; handling irate clients; handling numerous clients one at a time; DEALING DEMANDING BOSS. the last one almost drained my energy, somehow making me cringe. I mean, how can you bear someone who gives multiple instructions and demands to be finished within a shorter period of time; someone who doesn't listen to her staff's suggestion and instead proceed to her decision which obviously would likely leads to its failure; AND someone who is sometimes tactless and sometimes doesn't think before she speak to her staff. who would like to work with that supervisor with such demanding attitude? I could deal with the clients, it's part of the job. but demanding boss? as much as I'm trying to keep my cool, she's the reason why I hated office work sometimes... and the thought of it felt like I dreaded to work every damn day. * race days - oooh, how I love running. whether it's just a practice day or the race day, it gives me relief; makes me want to forget the work, even for a while. * travel - ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! I found a chance to travel when I signed up for half marathon race... in Palawan!! I got a chance to do firefly watching, visit museum and church, and the highlight of it all: joining the underground river tour! solo travel fulfilled! * gym - a love-hate relationship (inappropriate term, but how I describe it) with trainer: sometimes one of us doing silly jokes & antics; sometimes exchanging stories about what's going on in our lives; and, sometimes pissing our day about not meeting our training schedule. in the end, I decided to call a timeout; haven't renewed another session for 2 months because of the next stuff... * health issues - uric acid flare, twisted knee, and now this... a tear on my right wrist... they called it hairline fracture. office workloads preventing me from having my checkup. as a result, my doctor placed a cast from my right wrist up to my arm for 2 damn weeks!! my big problem: I've already signed up for half marathon race, already booked for my flight, and already booked for the hotel accommodations!!!
Cold (soon-to-be-injured, I hope not) feet
And I'm worrying about my right feet... I sprained it May last year during gym training, and yeah it has been my agony for quite some time. Got recovered thru that RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) method and Pilates-Yoga class. Somehow managed to run 10 km six months later, then doing the half marathon early January, another 5km obstacle course last October, going to road trip (yay, at last) a week later, a 15km run last month, a three-week dance rehearsal for Christmas party number last Monday, a two-day gym training... I could say my feet have gone restless.. Started to feel pain this morning, I guess it's due to the cold weather.. and stubborn enough to carry six bags of groceries (that its-beginning-to-look-like-Christmas-feeling, I know), I wasn't able to wrap presents for office Christmas party after that.. I hope the pain wouldn't linger on coming Monday.. or else...

In this daily grind full of hectic schedules, tight deadlines, horrendous traffic, irate clients, irritating colleagues, and even demanding bosses, I SOOO need a vacation… if only someone from higher authority would allow me… 😒😒😤😤😩😩
Flu
... which I think I got last Saturday, after I bought my mid-afternoon snack. Suddenly it started to rain, I really thought it wouldn't stop so I hurriedly ran all the way back home. Later that night, the symptoms came in: body pains (which I got from Friday night's boxing session), sneezing and fever. So today I'm on sick leave and haven't texted my PT yet..
Overtime blues
And I’ve been spending my entire weekend to do something we can’t do on our 40-hour work week; re-boxing and re-labeling the files within our unit. Such tasks are impossible to do on weekdays, since we are on frontline (customer service for starters). Pretty much exhausting, since I was the ONLY ONE in our unit who rendered overtime on our first 2 weekends. So much to do that I don’t even know where to start. Sorting files gives me headache; I’m having the hard time arranging them in chronological order… FILES ARE SCATTERED EVERYWHERE!!! Might just wanna throw them away or use them as draft paper. Which is which?
Now showing...
I’ve been missing out on the latest flicks. Yep, I wasn’t able to watch “Money Monster” and “Finding Dory” because, you know, that health scare issue (breast mass, right?). I didn’t get to see “The Conjuring”, I easily chickened out with its ultra-scary nature (well, according to reviews); and so is “Me Before You” due to loaded activities. Sad life, isn’t it?
So I decided to see at least FOUR movies. A month. Well there’s a LOT of catching up on my part. And I started out with “Alice Through The Looking Glass” last Saturday.
Today, however, is a different story. I was supposedly to watch either “The Purge: Election Year” or “Ma Rosa”. Because of the rains in the late afternoon, a supposedly smooth ride to the mall/moviehouse has turned into a chaotic traffic situation. I arrived 5 minutes past the start of the movie, and I would have to wait 2 hours for the Last Full Show.
So I ended up here, while eating out my exasperation in salmon & dill pizza. Tomorrow is the first day showing of my favorite love team’s movie, I’m afraid those two movies will be pulled out anytime.
Oh well, what to do?!
I don't take my workload at home because, hey, I deserve that weekend feels... that kind of moment when I just sit back, relax, do nothing, watch tv, binge eating, check out social media accounts, play games on my tablet.. stuff like that... But due to the laundry and fieldwork tomorrow, I have to bring my unfinished business back home, and I really have to finish this right now. Thus, this scenario... And at the same time I'm in the zombie mode, sleeping late due to laundry took the toll on me.. my bad... Coffee please...
Oops...
I haven't informed my supervisor about the biopsy scheduled tomorrow. She was not also aware on my field work today.. so I would expect a raging bull reaction after this and by the time I would spill the deets about the follow-up check up yesterday... Also, I'm in the middle of my lunch break as of this time, I'm gonna finish all the field work today and finish all the pending tasks when I get back at the office... And I'm ready for the possible World War III 🙃🙃🙃
