A few more days and we will be in the middle of the year, a few more months and it's Christmas and another year has passed. Which gets me thinking that it should be warmer here, but nope. The weather has taken me into a roller coaster ride since the beginning of spring. One day its a warm, sunny beautiful day (like last Saturday and Today) and the next day you'll get a windy-rainy-nasty day like Monday and Tuesday this week. Which also gets me into thinking that maybe that explains the reason why there are too many mentally-ill people in Canada. The weather and the four seasons gets too depressing for them that they lose their mind. Add to that the fact that twice a year, you need to adjust your clock from DST to Standard time and vice versa. The body system has to constantly adjust itself to the temperatures 4 times a year and to the time twice a year. I work 7:30am to 4pm weekdays, I used to work, 8:30 to 5 then I though I didn't want my body to adjust it's pattern so instead of getting on with the usual office hours I told my boss I'd come at 730am during the "Standard Time" so I won't have to adjust my sleeping patterns. Unfortunately, i found out that it is actually better to work at 730am to 4pm because there were not too many people in the bus and subway (it's not rush hour both TO and FROM work), the subway is still functioning well so I never (okay, maybe once) get late, and I get to have more time to lakwatsa (hehehe!). So I adjusted my clock and my sleeping patterns when we turned the clock to DST! The only problem there, is that I need to sleep and wake up earlier, I wake up at 4:45am if I want to do my sit-ups and 5:15 if i don't want to. Where I used to live and where I came from (Manila, that is!), I used to sleep at 11:30pm after watching evening news and wake up at 8am and still be able to arrive at work before 10am, before my bossing Jerome gets the chance to write the cut-off time (there's a penalty for anybody who arrives after the cut off time, I think a hundred pesos per hour). I remember Oliver had to pay 500bucks because he was late for 5 hours. Ang tindi!

On another side of the world, my movie-watching-buddy Joy is infanticipating. Wow! Akalain mo yun, si Joyie magiging nanay na, parang di ko ma-imagine na magiging mommy na ang kaibigan kong ito. Akala ko dati bakla siya, mali pala, siya ay isang tunay na babae pala at hindi nagpa-transplant lang. I got so excited and I just pray that she and her baby will be fine. I can't wait to know what the gender would be.

Unlike Shala, I really have nothing to update. For the last 5 months, nothing significant happened. My friends and I went to Niagara Falls last Monday because it was a holiday but I regret going with them because they just ruined my day and made me think twice if I'd still want to go to places with them and their excess baggages (unwanted invitees, that is!), and yes, maybe not anymore. I'd really, really, just chill-it-out with my cousins. First, because they know what they want to do and where they want to go even before we leave the driveway, and second, because they make me feel comfortable with them and treats me like a princess. So, really, I'll stick it out with my cousins, nephews, and nieces. Promise......

Okay, I got a little update after all. I've been saving for my plane ticket, 25 dollars per week so by December or January I'll have enough money to pay my fare to go home. Yipee! Will my boss allow me to? arrgggggggghhhhhh.... i need to save for pasalubong for my nephews, my nieces, my mom, my sister, my brothers, my brothers and sisters in law (they're angels, not monsters), my cousins, and my friends. Oh well, saving for that is another story.
