one week after i didn’t set a foot on OSMA

November 30, 2006

Woohoo! I filed a three-day leave last Nov20-22 and had the rest of the week off because of Thanksgiving. Halleluyah!! It was really time for me to celebrate Thanksgiving in my own way with Andok’s chicken instead of turkey! Time to rest, unwind, contemplate! I had nine solid days off from OSMA! It was a one-time-big-time break for me after being alone in the support for two months.

Nov 18-19 *Mudra’s day*

It was my mom’s golden birthday! Her 50th! She’s now Dyosang-dyosa at Singkwenta! Ansaya! Nov 18 was set as luxury day for the two of us. Full body massage, foot spa, shopping, the works! In between these sessions, we had the ‘real’ conversations we rarely have because of our busy lives (my busy life most of the times), our generation gap, our different perspectives in life.

The next day was her birthday and we painted the town red LITERALLY! All of the guests, which were exclusive to the Aclan family wore red except for 2 pasaway cousins. hehe. It was cool that my family is joining me in my themed-spirit craze.

It was the usual family pig-out with wines and all. The every-hour phone calls from uncles and aunties abroad!

I gave my mom a caricature of herself in a Darna costume and kidded her as my DARNA-nay! She really is the superhero of the family and I can’t help but beam with pride how much loved she is by her family and friends.

Ever since I’ve learned that soulmates need not necessarily be the one you marry and end up with in life, I felt that my mom is my soulmate. We are both Scorpios, same name and birthday numerologies, eldest daughter, eldest grandchild. I’ve always felt that we’ve learned so much from each others’ strengths and shortcomings. I always try to communicate with her my feelings and these conversations are one of the top reasons I try to go home every weekend. She understands me well in my blah-bings and most in my silence. ahlabyahh mommy! big sister sa bahay ni mudra!

Panira lang talaga ang pagkapanalo ni Pakyaw! Agaw eksena! I never really liked him! tatakbo pang vice-mayor! oh my golay!

 

Nov 20-22 *Grey’s Anatomy Marathon*

I miss television! OK, I confess, it’s also a top reason I go home every weekend! Ang sarap ng nakamulaga lang sa TV maghapon tapos makakalimutan mo na mag-lunch! hehe. Too bad I wasn’t able to watch the normal TV shows! Masusura lang akong panoorin si Boy Abunda! haha

Anyway, I really love Grey’s Anatomy. I was literally crying over some scenes. I want my McDreamy!!! Anyway, Grey’s Antomy deserve another blog entry so I’ll reserve my thoughts for that. Right now, what I have to say is that I envy these interns. Their job is tough like hell but love what they do so it doesn’t matter! In light of my episodes where I hardly can figure out what really it is that I want, I don’t know if the series helped my realize what I want or simply make me realize that my problem is BIG and no TV series can help me contemplate well.

Nov 23 *prelude to TSUBA* Music21 scandal

This is supposed to be the night when we are to take off for TSUBA (themed spontaneous ultimate bonding adventure) but due to some unforeseen events (ganoon talaga pag spontaneous, maraming unforeseen events) postponed til Friday night. But it’s Thanksgiving and I have to do something! This is one of the very few occasions where call girls like me can party like normal working robots. So the coffee session with Cesar, Tristan and Rey ended with a Videoke scandal at Music 21 with more college friends: Joyce, Janine and Dodo, Jeff, Maje, Adan and Boss. Most of them I’ve last seen more than a year ago and thanks for the spontaneity of the night we finally got along again! We were singing and drinking and playing the very posh tambourines (which I was able to take home.. hehe.. klepto!) and the next thing we know we were walking along memory lane and laughing our heart out about good ol’ college days! It was an instant anaesthesia. The comfort zone I will never get over with. There were serious moments where I confessed my recurring ‘episodes’. They just told me that I had so much fun, perhaps way too much fun in college that I can’t let go. I could not find that sanity-in-insanity in the corporate world. Sad but true!

Special thanks to Adan for the coffee session in front of MMC. hehe. Thanks for the First-World-Thirld-World Analogy!

Nov 24-26 *TSUBA*

This deserves a full-attention-magaling-magaling-magaling blog entry! *bow*

BACK TO NORMAL ROBOTIC LIVING!
