Maid Woes

Current maid is seriously driving me crazy. By that I mean she is not under my radar for more than 2-3 days! I won't even say what she has been doing that made me want to strangle her on more than a few occasions. Today though i arrived home and passed by her on our next door neighbor's gate chitchatting with their maid which is not an issue. I went ahead and parked the car a few steps away. Took me about a minute to gather my things and get out of the car. Lo and behold no sight of her. Not only was she able to get inside the house fast she was also on the 2nd floor of the house. Best part is she closed the gate behind her. Seriously?! Is she trying to keep my out of my own home?! Oh I asked her why she did that and she said because I didn't get out of the car right away. WTH! I really need to get her replaced as soon as mom comes home next month!

This has been one crazy year! I say CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! So, I managed to to go go HK on January 11 just for 25 hours and it looks like I will be going back to HK at the end of this month or early March. At the end of March I will also be flying to Singapore for a family vacation.

My friend from HK voiced an interest in coming to Cebu for Chinese New Year. I filed a leave for today and tomorrow however last I heard from was that he is checking with his travel agent. Suffice it to say I am a bit miffed, annoyed, disappointed and bummed that he has not even confirmed or denied coming here. Oh I decided to take advantage of my leave and just sleep most of the day. Well, when I woke up and got online I saw a friend I haven't talked to in a long time come online. Let's just it ended up with him booking a flight tonight and coming to see me because I am free in the next days. Well, not totally free as I have another friend from Xanga coming from the US on Monday:P Will be meeting up with her. I still hope HK guy is coming but if not I have other things to keep me busy:D 

I did push through with my Hong Kong vacation on September and had the best time of my life. The only downside of it was that I had to come back home.

The new year is definitely starting out great. I just came back from a day trip to Hong Kong on Saturday. It was a blast. I covered 30k steps in one day. I didn't want the day to end but I am glad that the trip was only for a day or I cannot even imagine how I would have made it the day after as I couldn't even waddle properly! 

30k steps in one day certainly beat my 20k steps in Macau! Who cares anyway when doing it with someone whose company I certainly enjoy:P

I've been quite happy and enjoy things as well as looking forward to my upcoming vacation then I found that my friends are not going to be able to go make it with me on our scheduled vacation. One canceled about a month ago due to employment status. That disappointing but not too bad as i still have another friend coming with me but she just told me a little over a week ago that she won't be able to come as well due to some Visa problems she is having. I hope by some miracle that she gets it fixed. It looks like the thing I was dreading the most is happening. I wouldn't want to be traipsing all over Hong Kong on my own. I've been the kind of person who'd rather stay home than go out alone. Tsk tsk tsk. I can't let this ruin my vacation. I will push through with it and make do. I'm sure I can figure a way to enjoy myself! I can think of one instance that this vacation will even be better but that is wishful thinking on my part.

So, I was looking forward to having a guest this weekend and hanging out and eating out but it looks like it will be a hectic weekend:( I just found out my cousin died on Sept. 1. She's only 45 or 46 if I have my facts correctly. It's no consolation I know but it's a good thing that she didn't pass away on Aug. 31 which was her daughter's 20th birthday. That would have sucked big time for the kid. Sadly though cousin is too young to die and her youngest is only 7 years old. Currently the planned interment is on Sept. 8 but we shall see how that turns out as old people might not allow that as it also happens to be our grandpa's death anniversary. I don't know how I'll managed everything but I'll definitely be going to her funeral everyday as her family and mine are quite close. Whatever they decide on the dates I'll be paying respects to all events and figure something out. 

Dammit! How much worse can my life get at this moment?! Errands, deadlines, double shifts at work and etc.... Fine fine I am hard pressed for more time! I wish there was more than 24 hours in a day but that was okay. I am still fine. First my pc wouldn't turn on and come to think of it I just replaced my Momo and RAM a few weeks ago and then I had trouble turning it on. After time spent on it I was finally able to get it fixed and turned on and off I was with my writing and making the final changes on the article I was working on the past few days. Off I was click save when I clicked the wrong button and everything went poofed! WTH! There's no way in hell I can retrieve it. Huhuhuhu! Whatever happens I'm going to finish that article and submit it in the next few hours. For now I need to cool down to be able to think clearly. Ice anyone?
