Plans?

Tomorrow is July 26, my 23rd Birthday. Hmm.. I don’t have plans. But being ask about it got me asking myself, what do I want to do for my birthday? Tuff thing to think about. For starters I got this idea of treating myself to T.G.I.F or Chilis.. Yum! But then, I remembered our schedule is split shift.. Grr.. Meaning I could only do this during the break time, 2-5pm, but don’t want to because I want to eat with my Hon.. Or after the 2nd shift, which is probably 10pm? Hmm.. That would be too late, and eating large meal at night means more weight for me, wahaha.. So nope, not either. Hmm.. I could go on straight shift right? Request to our management to allow me to go on straight since its my birthday, well, not too bad, but as usual very out of place in the workplace.. Or maybe I could just do half day? Not bad either, but that means deduction again from my salary and should I say, a spot on my attendance records also.. So, what now? That leaves me into, err.. Nothing. No plans as of now. =]

Rest Day?

Yesterday was a blast. Friday’s are always a blast. Come to think of it, why ain’t I got two rest days? I mean, I know a lot who has Friday and Saturday off.. Hmm..  As for the company I’m working for, err.. Nope, just Friday for you dear. Hehe..

Well, guess I just have to go with it, since it’s the schedule they’ve set. But I do feel sometimes that one rest day in a week is not enough to get some charging after the “mentally” and most of the time “emotionally” stressing work with all the drama and weirdness of the management..

Thinking about rest, don’t feel much off it during week days either, we are on split shift, we go to work twice a day.. So, that’s going to work twelve times in a week.. Thankfully we sometimes get some days on straight shift and got to go home by 7pm (supposed to be early), but during those times it’s mostly allotted for doing laundry or other choirs.. Hehe..

Hmm.. Well.. This is life abroad to me. Where’s the rest day? Hmm.. Schedule it on my yearly vacation..

Celebration

Everyday is a celebration. But everyday is different from the other, like today, I feel it’s very special. :D

Went to church, received beautiful red roses from Hon.. Really like it.. =)

Glad my sister also came. After a while we got to attend the Worship Service together again. Learned the Superiority of Christ to Moses. If Moses remained faithful as a servant of the house, Lord Jesus remained faithful as the builder of the house. God is faithful, His love never fails.

Bought pizza at Khalidiya Mall. Ate nutty chocolate donut at Dunkin Donuts with Baskin and Robbins Ice cream while waiting for the pizza’s to be ready.

Went to our BS at Ate Evelyn’s flat. Had delicious lunch and wonderful dessert. Learned more of God’s revelation for the things that will happen on the last days.

Afterwards, got a chance to hear my brothers and sisters’ Birthday and inspirational messages to me. My sister from Dubai and my Hon’s father is also there.

I am so blessed. Giving thanks how God has provided us everything in this world in all aspect of our lives as we live in Him, the giver of life.

Had a very nice cake, love the blue ribbon around it.. Thanks Hon! ;)

Went home: filled, and happy – birthday. ;D

Turn on the Heat

The weather is rising, but they say this is not yet its peak, I’m guessing the temperature now would be playing around 45 to 50 degrees Celsius, or hopefully still sometimes down up to 40degrees Celsius. I’m starting to get the “humidity” thing also, at night, going home and feeling the same heat during the day.

A morning walk of 2-3 minute from the flat to the parking is not that bad.. Hmm.. Afternoon walk using an umbrella? It actually feels the same without.. :D

Thankfully, there’s a lot of trees and grass within the city, it lessens the heat. And off course having the thought of running inside to get some AC is nice. More about it, I feel not confident to walk around without a bottle of water in my bag, hmmm, like today. I forgot eh. ;D

Routine

I’ve been going on this routine for a while now.. Get up in the morning, take a bath and go to work. Freshen up, open my PC, organize my things, get a cup of hot drink, do some reading and turn to the monitor for work stuff.. Or mix it up a bit sometimes. :D

Hmm.. After finishing the important “work stuff,” I admit I’ve been idle these days.. :D

See now, working hours are mostly the monitor and me so, I open my playlist in WMA, open TextTwist (play it afterwards), see the movie list for something I like to watch and then open my work files.

It’s silly to try to relax at work, because it’s technically work and I know there are still some things to be done but I guess I’ve got the “wait till it happen” or “slack it off” syndrome through the day. Haha.. Funny, but not really.. I mean, I’m not initiating anything, which is sort of sad for me coz I still like being busy and doing too much work. Combined with the crazy management, I guess I think there’s nothing to boost me on as we say “working hard” on what I should do which lead me to being like this, settling for doing nothing much of what I prefer. Err.. It’s not actually doing nothing.. It’s more on not doing too much.

Dates

The dates we’ve got last week was nice also, its super sweet, ate it the whole day and the next day I’ve got it. Picking some fresh (though not looks like it) from the tree 2 days ago was nice experience too. The dates were dusty, and I can’t tell if its good or not but when I washed it, peeled the skin and ate it, guess what, its really nice and sweet. :D

The experiment with the fresh dates I kept from last week went well also, 3 out of 6 I’ve got to ate and it did turned ripe from hard to soft. For the remaining 3, 1 of it tastes sour so for the other 2 I’ve just have to throw because of the looks of it.

Fresh dates are better than the processed ones, I really appreciate the soft texture. Though I heard that among the fruits dates were the highest sugar content, second is the watermelon, hmm.. So, I guess though still craving, I should li-low.

Bits

Sharing bits of me is definitely a new thing.

Before, I thought it was just fine to hear my friends’ stories and try to understand them, give advice or simply just listen. I don’t talk much about me because it’s too boring, nothing that (I think) others would appreciate. When asked a question about me, I just answer briefly. Another reason why I don’t really share my stories or problems is because I have to listen first to theirs and not add mine to theirs.. Listening is kinda my thing.

Though, I still feel and do this way, I guess it really wouldn’t hurt if I share my personal experiences with others. :)

Gradually increasing the percentage of letting stories leak out from me..

I got something about friendship, it’s sharing bits of you to others, leaving a piece of yourself for others to hold.
