Week 1, 2018

I started the New Year together with my family in our long time residence here in Davao City and although we haven’t had our Buena Noche together, we welcomed 2018 with fruitful hopes and super loud noise as if we’re trying to get the attention of extra-terrestrials. A few minutes before midnight, the neighborhood were already showing off their best annoying noise they could ever produce once in a year, while tuning in on TV stations awaiting for the New Year countdown because their clocks were completely unreliable. 

The morning after, there were lots of foods and sweets and desserts stored in the fridge that it took us 3 days to completely devour the whole #NewYearleftovers. Plus, my sister also gave us their leftovers as well. Spaghetti, macaroni, mango float, cakes, fruit salad, maja, and chocolates, that’s what I ate for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and midnight snack that I almost forgot I’m a rice eating Asian. 

However, my New Year would have been happier if I’m with the love of my life (awwwww). We had our first date of the year on the second day since it was heavily raining the night before. That is all. HEHE!

It’s back to school on the fourth day and we were terrified to found out that the schedule for oral defense of our thesis has been moved a month earlier. HOLY MOTHER OF PAPERS! We only have a month to prepare and I haven’t made the project proposal yet! Well, I have no choice but to work double time, overtime. On the fifth day, my group had submitted the project proposal, on the sixth day, I’m happy to announce to myself that I’m done writing the Chapter 1. I don’t expect much from my group mates when it comes to documentation, but I chose them because of their commitment and their dedication that they’ll be the one to spend whenever we need other resources that can’t be serve through writing. *EVIL LAUGH*

Last Friday, during the special exam together with some of my classmates who have also missed the prelim exam December of the previous year. Something terribly funny happened and that story must end here if I don’t want to get expelled LOL! 

Yesterday, after an extensive writing for Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of my thesis, my eyes were like going Chinese, can't open it the way it should be. It’s really painful although I knew that’s gonna happen since I’ve experienced eye stress before. There’s this anti-glare eye glasses, it’s on the hype at the moment, and I actually bought one from Lazada several months ago that cost me Php130.00 and as expected, it’s not functional. Left it somewhere and on the next day I just found it broken, good! Good thing baby baboy also need those anti-glare eye glasses so we went to NCCC Uyanguren and bought a pair. I think this time it's legit, because it’s expensive. HAHA!

Today, my cousin fried some dried fish in the kitchen and it reeks the entire room. Told him to clean it up so it won’t smell as if there’s a dead body under the cabinet. But all he did was wipe it off with wet cloth WTF! My sister was furious about the smell and told me to do something to get it off rather than explaining how it all ended up like that. I too, became furious because in the first place, it's not my fault, and my cousin is old enough to face the trials of life. I uninstalled the exhaust fan and clean every inch of it. Now the smell went away and told my cousin to never cook in the kitchen again, NEVER! 

My New Year’s resolution for this year is to come back to worship, it’s been almost 2 years since I stopped going to Sunday Eucharist, and I really feel guilty about it since I'm always asking Him without thanking in return. I need to thank God for everything He did for me, my family, and to my significant other. I just hope I won’t burn alive by the time I'll enter His house. LOL! 

UPDATE: I wasn't able to go to the church today because I have to drive for my nephew because he needed immediate medical attention. May God help him for his fast recovery.
