Strained and Pained!

So I’ve been out of sorts lately. Well, I have had quite a time to contemplate actually. Let me tell you what happened some time during the first week of November. 

I am a late riser that’s a given and hardly can I be called a morning person but there are instances that I do rise earlier than usual. On the 6^th of November, Thursday, was one of those rare times, I woke up early, to my mother’s surprise. Since I didn’t particularly felt sleepy anymore I decided to go to the kitchen and eventually ate a hearty breakfast with my family (trust me, this is a rare occurrence in our household). It was nice change actually, we laughed and bantered. Later, I organized some of my stuffs. Since I had no tutoring session and I had no other plans that day, I decided to nap.

At around 12 in the afternoon, I woke up disoriented, I was about to get up when BAM! This pain shot up from my hips. I fell back on my futon and let out a whimper. I thought I was dreaming, a rather realistic and painful dream for that matter. I gathered my wits and tried to get up again, but this pain took all my reasoning! To cut the chase, I eventually got out of my room, literally crawling my way out! Thank heavens for a sturdy banister that I used to support my weight whilst I went down to the kitchen.

A Reason to Celebrate

Hey there! Let me tell you about a joyous moment we celebrated of late. My older sister (ate) officially passed her Thesis subject, making her eligible for graduation! Whohooo! She can now cross off “obtain masters” in her bucket list. My parents and I couldn’t be any happier for her!

In retrospect, we all had to pitch in for her to finish her thesis if not financially, physically and mentally at least. It was no joke, I tell you! We had to go over pages and pages and compute for the result. Heck, my father even stayed up at 1 in the morning to finish his share. He never stayed that late, it was way past his bedtime! I guess, we all made certain concessions then. I mean, my mother was usually out and about with her church affairs but she refrained from doing so in order to help sis. Two of my cousins also put in hours checking their share of the questionnaire. I had to do without the late night TV that was as vital as any of this generation’s social life! But then again, my sister was the one who had to do without with many things.

A little break pls..!

And the ber-months have done it yet again!

Seriously, when these months come, I always feel dazed. Things happen so fast, I kinda feel hung-over. It's been so long since I wrote something, for a freelancer I couldn't spare time to write. Fortunately, sembreak is just around the corner! I can have a break from tutoring and just hang-out, literally :D 

Most of my relatives, don't understand why I prefer being freelance than being normally employed. Truth be told, I have no idea either! Though, I used to work for a company once and I had a stint with a foreign employer at one time too. I guess, I just wanna have control of my own time. . . Plus, I am planning to go back to school  by next year hopefully, so I'm sort of preparing myself now. :)

'Till We Meet Again Lola Luz!

I wasn't as lucky as others have full sets of grandparents, but I was fortunate enough to know one from each side, my paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother. They both made an impact in my formative years and I have always been in awe with them. They both led a hard life but they made the best of it. Their respective spouses died long before I was born. My grandmother (lola) Luz was the only grandparent I had left after my paternal grandfather passed away in 2006. She lived in her hometown Liliw, Laguna with my maternal aunt, and sometimes with my maternal uncle in the ancestral house.

Hooray for Me! :)

I've recently revived my blog, if I remember correctly, I had one during college days. It had lots of posts then but I decided to put it down, I guess my heart wasn't in it at that time. So anyway, since I've got lots of free time now, I thought why not write again? Don't get me wrong, I'm not that much of a writer, but I have lots of words in my head that could either be written down or make me go crazy!
