My Mom went to the province to visit our ailing Grandfather. I was supposed to go with them but due to “poor coordination” I was unable to do so. I have been wanting to visit him, especially since it was his birthday last August 2, and I just felt bad that I didn’t go last weekend. Anyway, my Mom hasn’t given me any updates, but I am just expecting that his condition is either the same or has worsened. When I called my Grandma, she told me that Grandpa is no longer eating (under IV now) and that he doesn’t want to talk anymore. Aside from that, he is also bedridden (thus only uses an adult diaper for nature’s call). I really don’t know how to take all of this, you know, when I see him in that condition. Much as I want to think positively, there’s still that growing fear of, you know. Ack. I don’t want to think about it. But I still pray for good health for Grandpa.

Marketing Strategies to Get Crew
Market condition in the shipping industry is proving to be getting more challenging by the day. Before, it is the demand’s market, but now, since there is very tight supply of seafarers, they have become choosy and most of the time, money and benefits talk. We have been coming up with different marketing strategies and promotional products that would entice people to join our company. I just hope that our strategies would work, because if not, my work would all the more become stressful. Sheeps, I no longer want to experience those sleepless nights thinking how to tell our crew that they cannot come home because they do not have a reliever.
Bad For The Skin
The weather has yet again changed and we are now experiencing clear skies. Well, for now. Because I’m sure that anytime, it would be rainy again. I’m just worried because, sorry to sound vain but, sometimes my skin cranks up because of these weather changes. I do not have an acne cream in our medicine chest and I dislike putting it on. I might as well get one though, just in case. I don’t want to welcome my dear husband (when he comes home) with a pimply face. Right now, I have a few dots – small but still there. Plus there are times when I wake up with red blotches in my face. Yeeps. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that those will be gone by the time hubby comes home.
Unsafe Streets
What’s with trucks lately? Every night, there seems to be news about trucks either hitting street pillars and island, or hitting cars and worse, people. I totally hate it when people die because they get hit by either trucks or buses, and drivers explain away by saying either they didn’t see the passengers or they fell asleep because of exhaustion or lack of sleep. I sure hope that the victims get immediate help. You know naman, here in our country, the “suspects” don’t go to jail, they just pay for either hospital fees and/or funeral services. Sheeps.

Dad's Watch
We're off to Serendra right now for dinner with our relatives who came from Toronto. Good thing my Dad clarified that we were going out, because I initially thought we'll just have dinner at our aunt's place. Earlier I was wearing a dress fit for dinner at home, so I managed at the last minute to dress up a bit, hehehe. When I went to the house, I remembered that my watch was here (I left it a week ago), but I decided to just borrow my Dad's leather watch to complete my look (green and brown dress, gladiator sandals). I liked what he lent me! Hmm, maybe I should borrow this for a longer period and not just today. It reminded me of the Festina watches I saw online before and wanted to get for myself.
Of course, my Dad's watch is better.

It's Confirmed!
Our company has announced that for our 10th anniversary celebration, all of the staff will go to Hong Kong for three days! Now I just can't help but think that it's a blessing in disguise that I was unable to go with my family (though this would have been more enjoyable) the last time. At least this one is for free... Hahaha! Anyway, one of the measures of our company when it comes to travel, aside from having travel insurance for all staff, is that we will travel in two batches, one to go via Cebu Pacific, one via PAL. To be fair, draw lots will be used to determine who will ride in what lane. I really really hope I'd get PAL. I don't want to ride in Cebu Pacific. I don't know, I just feel more comfortable riding in PAL planes, force of habit I guess.
I'm very very excited ever since it was announced! My only regret though is that dear hubby won't come with me (strictly for staff only). One plan though is he follows on Sunday, then we stay until Tuesday...Hmmm. We'll see. Exciting!

Not As Drama Queen As I Thought
Mildly suprised with the result, but happy nonetheless!
You Are A Relationship Rescuer! |
 You don't ruin relationships, if anything you keep them together The key: you respect yourself and your guy. Which goes further than you might think. You simply treat your guy how you would like to be treated... the old golden rule. And in return, he treats you like gold - or at least tries. And how perfect is that |
