my birthday is coming up and i'm not exactly looking forward to turning 29 because it'll only mean that next year, i'll be turning 30! the pain of aging!
tomorrow is my grandmother's would-be-87th birthday, heck, age doesn't matter now! what matters is that we have wonderful memories of her and she is having a grand time in God's hands now. we miss you mommy! =)
ron and i have been busy doing our genealogy detective work. so far i've found out that my grandfather was named after my great-great grandfather. my grandfather was also conceived when his father was 60 years old and his mother, 40 years old. talk about robust and energy! we still have some more digging to do therefore, we are heading out to cerritos on my birthday to do some more research and hopefully look at the microfiche copies of the marriage certificates. it is going to be exciting! i'll finally know if i have relatives out there which i'm sure i do!
i have a lead that tells me that archinas might've slightly morphed to arsinas or arsinas with an enye, or even arcinas, arcinas (enye) or the more common arcenas. my research this saturday will hopefully reveal some truth to this mess.
my dad has gallantly offered to treat me for my birthday. i am psyched because i've missed sushi and sashimi!
ron will be off from work next week. we hope to head out to the huntington library to hang out and possibly shoot. with the situation that we are in, we have to be creative with our trips and make the most of it.
i received the first of a series of letters indicating my path to freedom! i am excited! oh this will be a good year! i hope to see my friends and family this year!
been talking to an old friend. it's nice to be able to speak freely without fear of judgement. made me miss old high school friends even more!
convenience is the enemy, one friend said. i need to shake things up a bit or else i'll rot.

we cancelled our directv service last week and now we have to resort to good ol' antenna tv. i can live with local channels, but i cannot live without my DVR! i've been so spoiled by the DVR that i relied on being able to rewind or fastforward tv shows. last night was the first time in a looong time that i've had to sit through the oscars. i'd normally let it record for a good 30 mins then fast forward so that i wouldn't have to deal with commercials. *sigh*
i have a lot on my to-do list but sadly, i haven't had the drive to accomplish any of them and it's not that i don't have the time! *sigh*
i took the enneagram test last saturday and i had less-than-stellar results. it was probably because i was frustrated by an episode earlier that day. if it's anything i hate, it's people messing around with my family. =(
planning for the future is like being in a dark room, fumbling for the light switch. it's dark and uncertain. i feel like i've been in a cage for 8 years. 3 months ago, i was able to dream of a trip around the world, in anticipation of being free, finally! however, the trade-off to a stress-free job is a low-paying job. =( i don't think i can do some island-hopping anytime soon. i can only dream of emerald waters, mystic caves and photo ops at this time. booooo!

nothing new in my life going on. just taking everything day by day. been watching episodes of 30 rock and i think it's great! i also watched this nbc show entitled "who do you think you are?" and it traces the ancestors of stars. last night was sarah jessica parker and we found out that her great-great-great-great grandmother was accused of witchcraft at one point. next week, we will learn about emmitt smith's ancestors. i'll definitely watch next friday!
my birthday is up in 3 weeks and i don't even have anything definite planned. i have a lot on my mind and i especially don't want to plan knowing that i am extremely broke! haha. i'd want friends over but nothing grand like last year.
i hate playing the waiting game! all that we can do right now is wait...wait for certain papers to be processed. wait for a date. wait wait wait...i'm getting anxious but i've waited this long and so i can wait for 4 more months. =) this last stretch seems to be the longest! arghhh...

gamay nalang nga antos!!! God-willing, i will be able to take a little trip this year. i am psyched and at the same time, nervous!
work has been great! pay is not as awesome as before but the environment is so much better! the budgeting, however, has made me even more creative. ron and i purchase meat in bulk then pack it in ziplocs 2 lbs each bag (enough for dinner that evening then lunch the next day!). this arrangement has made it easier on our pockets. who can resist chicken leq quarters at 39cents/lb? i know i can't!
we are saving a lot of money carpooling to work; ron/my dad drops me off then ron picks me up at 7pm. this job is heaven-sent. =)
mommy lolet is still on my mind. i found myself sobbing upon reading a christmas card that was intended for us. it never found its way in our mailbox. her handwriting was shaky and you could tell she was tired. i miss her so. =(

it's been a busy but fulfilling 2 weeks. we are getting ready for ron's big day on friday and we are excited!
work has been great! i think i've gotten the hang of it and i am thankful i was able to pick up fast!
i never really thought of taking the briggs-myers test again but i decided to do so last sunday and i was in for surprising results! 99% of it was exactly true! ron took the same test and the results were quite interesting.
at times, i'd be slightly exasperated when ron explains something to me, in great detail and i'd always ask for the bottomline. i'd rather hear the bottomline first then explain how we went into that. turns out ron is extremely detailed and very technical, INTJ. he'd sometimes have a hard time explaining in layman's terms. in the meantime, i'm ISFJ, i want the big picture - i don't need details and i especially don't need technical terms. i always hated myself for being awful in sciences and math. now i have an excuse. =P
one thing that struck me the most was how i was awful at delegating work and that certainly was true at my other job. i would rather work myself off than delegate and explode in the end, in turn. this is exactly what happened 2 months ago.
it's nice to know i have options. i have always dabbled in the idea of doing social and environmental work. my present situation prohibits me from doing so but one day, i'd love to join the peace corps or be a UN volunteer. i want to be able to go home and say that i helped make a difference. =)
one thing that i hate about myself is how emotional i can get. i told ron i could never be a nurse because i don't like the sight of spilled guts, gushing blood etc. and if a patient were to die in my hands, it would taint me for the rest of my life.
the time has come. while it has been an amazing ride, i've come to the point i've been waiting for for more than 8 years of living here. all that i can do is hope and pray for the best. i cannot wait to travel, live life and eventually, be a parent! =)

it's been a busy week for me - in a good way. i've been in training all week and i've gotta say, i think i've gotten the hang of it. i am happy for this opportunity and i can't wait for the other events to unfold.
ron and i have also been busy with our personal lives. it's nice to be able to work on something that you know will lead to a brighter tomorrow. =) oh and our cars are now on purchase, no longer on lease. we love our cars way to much and can't think of any replacement for it. in my case, i love my mazda 3 so much that i owned an '05 red mazda 3 S and traded that in for an '07 red mazda 3 grand touring. can't think of any other car that's fun to drive.
we're pooling our credit card points to purchase gift cards, which we will then use to buy a little something to burn calories. we need it. we have the guts to prove it!
it's a nice sunny day and all that i wish for everyone today is to stay happy, healthy and in love!
