A Girl’s Notebook :)

I reported to work today. My foot doesn’t hurt much anymore. I was on call right now and hopefully I will have a very productive day ahead. Well, I am praying.

Ciao!

The national election is just around the corner. In fact, different debates are being held for the masses to be more knowledgeable about the candidates for the national position most especially for the highest position in our country, the presidential position. To be honest, I have not heard or watched in any debates yet, where the different presidential candidates are invited. Even though, I haven’t heard any debates yet, I have already my own choice for the next president. But whoever wins, next year’s election, I hope that they would pay much attention for our youth’s future.

I hope that they would give some attentions to the teeneagers and children who find comfort from illegal drugs and rugby. :(  If you walk through the sidewalks of EDSA in Cubao, you would find a lot of teeners maybe 13 and above and children maybe 10-12 years old, sniffed through plastic bags with rugby. I pity them and I hate their parents. If their parents will not be able to care for them, then hopefully our government officials will be able to send them to different drug rehab centers and from their they will be able to start a new life.

Everybody knows what Dr. Jose Rizal said, that the youth is the hope of our land. How can they be, if at the young age of 10, they start ruining their lives! It’s a sad reality but I know that there is still hope for them. Although, time is running out but I know it isn’t too late yet.

There are different government organizations in the country who do the job to totally eliminate drug syndicates. Though there are a lot of government and non-government organizations who handle things about drug, they still need our cooperation. They will not be successful if we will not help them. I know that it will take a lot of courage to pin point drug pushers but think about our youth’s future. Our children’s future and their children’s future.

We should work hand in hand. Hopefully, the next president will truly take the lead.

Ciao!

Since I can’t do much today, I just had to watch DVDs. My sister’s goddaughter, Samantha is with us today. My mother fetch her from Taytay. My sister will take her to the mall tomorrow. When, I woke this afternoon, they are already watching, Barbie movie, The Island Princess. Oh well, it is actually my daughter’s favorite movie.

As I watch the movie with them, my sister remembered something about my daughter. Antoinette loves Barbie movies so much! She knows almost all the characters that Barbie played already. With her favorite movie, The Island Princess, she knows all the characters and she is familiar with the songs too. She sing along with the characters as well.

One of the Barbie movies she like watching (next to Island Princess :)) is Princess and the Pauper. The princess’ name is Anneliese while the pauper is Erika. Antoinette remembers them by heart. She has cousin named Ericka, but we often call her Ikay. Antoinette didn’t know that her real name was Ericka.

My sister told me that one day while we were at my paternal grandmother’s wake, my cousin Marian called Ikay by her real name, “Ericka.” Antoinette was confused then. She went to Ikay and asked if Ericka was her name. Ikay said yes, then she said “eh di ako si Anneliese (then, I am Anneliese).”

I laughed so hard when I learned about it! I can’t help but smile when I remember it. Well, Antoinette is such a jewel! A priceless one.

Anneliese is the one pink, while Erika is the one in blue.

Ciao!

I wasn’t able to report to work this morning and I wasn’t able to come to my scheduled job interview today because my right toe is swelling. Actually, this started last Thursday night, I managed to go to work yesterday but it was really hurting me. I even showed it to my colleagues Julius and Ruthie. Well, I told them that if I will not feel better then I would be absent the following day.

I don’t remember what happened why it got swolen. Maybe, I tripped or something. Well, I stayed at home the whole day and did a hot compress on my toe. I took pain killer as well. Then, my daughter tried to massage my foot very carefully and that made me sleep.

I walk up around 4PM this afternoon and I feel better now. I tried to walk around trying not to exert a lot of force on my right foot.

I know that I will be able to go to work tomorrow. I also sent a text message to the company I am applying for to give me another date for interview. I hope they would.

Ciao!
