Maybe This Was What I Needzzzzzzz?

Nothing like sleep to wash away the crappy, exhausted feelings?  9.5 hrs...haven't done that in a long time.

*  *  *

Really feeling "The Waterboys" lately.  I like it when I newly discover an old band and their music.  Here is one of their songs that is good to listen to in the background:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DErmYfCt-RI&feature=related

And My Happiness Drops

I really hate days at work like today.  Just a lot of BS happening, and some self-admitted bad judegements by me.  I hate having to have to suck up to my boss so I don't get in the "bad books".  I hate "playing the game".  I am just so...frustrated.

Mind you, I thnk to myself:  what were you expecting?  Anything different?

I gotta learn to just go with the flow and take things as they come.  Try not to get so discouraged and remind myself it's just work.  Too bad I need it in order to live and provide for my family.

Meh.  It'll pass, I hope.

Speaking of work, today marks the last day I am going to be at the buildling at 44 PCD.  Almost 7 years there...it's not that I'm getting so sentimental about it, but you know what, this was really the only workplace I've known.  Lots of good memories there, some bad ones.  Met some of my bestest friends there.  Just gonna be weird driving to a new place after going to the gym in the mornings.  Mind you, I'm not going to complain so much when it cuts 15 minutes off my commute time going home

*  *  *

Been feeling this song lately thanks to CBC Radio 2 in the morning (great station to listen to while driving in the morning):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu7AR0-FRro

Like the guy said on the station, I hope to see the Whole of the Moon one of these days, when I have those (increasingly rare) moments when things actually make sense, even for a second

How Could Sitting Make Me So Tired?

7 hours of meetings today.  A whole lot of sitting.  30 minutes break.  In meetings that made me question why I accepted this position with people that annoy me to no end.

Oh yeah...that's why I'm tired.

Only one month left though, and then will I have this feeling I'll miss it?  We'll see.

Something I won't miss though?  This drama happening at work right now.  Wonder what is going to happen tomorrow

So, Anyone Make Any Confirmations Today?

I did:  Nutella on Naan is awesome.  Yummy in my tummy

*  *  *

No surprise, no show today.  Let's see what happens tomorrow again!

Wake Up Man

I used to be able to just wake up no problem, get by on 5 hours of sleep.  Lately, though, I've been feeling the "drowzies", despite sleeping 6 hours.  Plus, I haven't been finding the same motivation to go to the gym.   Oh man, this can't be good.  What happened to me?  I thought I was the same ol' G?

Wasn't I supposed to be okay with no sleep if and when we eventually have children?

I are worried.

Actually, wait, I think it may have something to do with the fact that I'm eating such horrible junk food lately and that I don't want to go to work

Who Is This Guy?

So is this what it feels like to win in basketball?  Our team won again today in a little bit of a blowout.  In fact, I got into the double digits again (11 pts.), which got me wondering:  who the hell do I think I am?  LOL...if my teammates only knew that I'm getting quite lucky with my shots.

But I guess they think I'm good because in the second half, I didn't play the last 12 minutes.  Well whatever, I'll get my basketball on tomorrow morning and I'll go with the thoughts of "well the other guys are playing garbage time because I'm part of the first string team".

Ego much?

It'll prolly all deflate next week anyway.  Here's to keeping it real

*  *  *

Well that was a little bit of a let down this morning.  The somewhat predictable happened.  Tomorrow...here we go again

Tomorrow's The Big Conclusion...

...all those extra hours of work the past few months comes down to this.  Assuming someone shows up.

Anywho, it's time to be a "Supervisor" and do the things that are not pleasant but have to be done.  Why am I so nervous?

I'll go play basketball with some old Chinese men to get my mind off of things...

I Can't Be The Only One...

...who hates being indoors when the weather is nice outside, right?

I feel like it's such a waste, especially with the cold weather coming.

And yet, ironically, I'm on the computer instead of being the aforementioned outside...

*  *  *

The first baby in our group of friends has arrived.  Congrats to Drs. Mistie on having Macsen Jaesung Sy!  Can't wait to miss him, especially since he was named after me

Does This Mean I Get To Get One Too?

So Sharon ended up getting a blackberry.  Do I get to get one too?

We did cancel our home phone line.  We just weren't using it and paying what we were paying wasn't worth it.  So two blackberries would be?  Let's go with "maybe".

We also ended up going for a nice car drive up to Caledon and to Terra Cotta Conservation Area.  It would've been nice to see the nice Fall colours of yellow, orange and gold.  Unfortunately, we only saw yellow and a bunch of naked trees.  Wowza, I guess it means its time then...the cold be coming.

And finally to celebrate our anniversary, we went to East Side Mario's (don't know why we can't get enough of that horrible place).  I think I consumed something like 7245 calories.  I'm dying here, and have some terrible itis

(that's itis, not tits.  Well, I do have some nasty man boobs, but that's besides the point)

Gut Punch

Had no energy today at the gym, and usually on a day off (what), I'd play ball for hours.  Might have had something to do with the fact I didn't eat breakfast?

So I did what any logical person would do: go grocery shopping, and, well...not eat.  I think I was trying to do a test for myself:  not to overbuy while doing groceries while hungry.  I think I was successful, but I did end up buying some naan and a seekh kabab afterwards.  But I think I was overtired and overhungry at that point anyway.

And really, I couldn't concentrate and enjoy lunch anyway as things were happening concurrently.

I should be more productive.  I think I'll clean my car and take advantage of this weather

*  *  *

I wonder what it's like to be music star and do music videos like this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArdBI_F1LKo

How do they not get aroused?  Or do they and the girl just doesn't mind?  I think I should learn how to sing.  And workout.  And look more pretty.

Okay, forget it

Fargin Elbow

Played basketball this morning with my cool goggles.  Also got elbowed by someone on a tender spot on my forearm.

Yeah.  Ouch...was stinging and sore then, is stinging and sore now.  There goes my MVP season...lol

*  *  *

All the extra work at work paying off?  I hope!  Looks like things be on the way...

*  *  *

Emotions, when not harnessed, suck

Happy As Can Be 3rd Bubs

It may not be perfect, but it's ours.

I love you Bubba.  Thank you for putting up with all my crap.

This year (and beyond), more than ever, I will try to be the husband you want me to be and that man you wanted to marry three years ago.

(But really, what were you thinking three years ago?!?)

One Of Those Days Where You Go Huh

Ever have one of those days where you just go "huh"?  And not huhboy...just huh.

I had one of those days today.

Been working at the region for 6+ years.  When I started, I knew nothing, I had no girlfriend, I was broke, etc.

Fast forward to today:  I know some things (not nearly half as much as I should), I have a wife, I'm still broke (no surprise there...I'm certainly not going to get rich in this job), and lo and behold...my wife started work today at the same place that I work.

Huh.

New chapter in my life?  New chapter in my life

*  *  *

Ended off the day today with a late basketball game, which we won.  Yee-uh!  We're doing much, much better than I ever thought we would do...lol

8 points today with two threes.  Could've had more, but I had no legs under me.  Even worse, I think I strained a hammy.  But whatever, we won and I already knew I plateaued last week

Where Thanksgiving = Swiss Chalet

Went to the in-laws for lunch.  Swiss Chalet.

Went to my parents for dinner.  Swiss Chalet.

Always so good for so little.  Except I'm going to have a lot...of pounds around my waist.

Short work week coming up...yee-uh!

Love Thanksgiving Monday

Or should I say, "not going to work Monday?"

Well whatever the case, finally we get to tell some news so it doesn't have to always be a secret

Okay, So You Have Time Off Now...

...why aren't you captilizing on it?

Things just seem so foggy right now.  Gotta snap out of it and get back to living life

What Kind Of An Idea Was That?!?

For some reason, I went for a run this morning.

I am currently hurting right now as a result.

Gotta cook for a small dinner tonight.  Thanksgiving is always a great time to overeat.

Oh right, that's why I have to run...

Pan-Eh-Go

Long week of work.  Glad it's over.  Until next week, when it's long all over again.  Oh well.

We decided to try Panago pizza.  Result?  It's okay.  I'll have to try it again before I decide if I like it.

This day has been all about bad eating.  Noodles for breakfast, Veal Sandwich and gelato for lunch, pizza and nutella on a spoon for dinner.  Good thing I'm not going to eat bad this weekend.  Not like it's Thanksgiving or anything...

(my fat jumps for joy, my heart just dies a little)

Two Random Things I Like From Youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68uWGunx3yQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb-dYVEBtfM&feature=player_embedded

Tirritated

That would be a combination of tired and irritated.

I really shouldn't take work to heart.  It's just work after all.

I feel like dancing disco, and learn a routine

Ai Pinakbet

After yesterday's Filipino dinner, I found this pretty funny (if only for the fact that it goes to prove that Filipino's are quite...unique):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W4_LV77HlY

My Mother Is Funny Pt. 87

Went to my parents house today for dinner (lazy to cook, sinigang, Sharon at karate, had to pick up pants from Sam Dry Cleaner...perfect opportunity).

And of course my Mother's observations.

I was talking to her about how I thought when Lizanor went on her honeymoon with Nikko to Hawaii, that they were by themselves.  Turns out Lizanor's whole family went (because of a wedding there).  I said to my Mom I was surprised that the whole family went, but not really (if you know Lizanor, you know she's close with her parents, so really, it's not that much of a surprise).

My Mom's response: "well, you know, they can do their business in the bedroom and then they can spend the rest of the trip with their family".  The part that kills me, aside from her accent, was the fact she said it nonchalantly and just continued on with her conversation.

Now when I see Lizanor, I'm just going to think that her and Nikko did their business.  Wow

The Pinnacle Of My Career

So I've been having some really horrible past few days at work.  Lots of crap to deal with.

Apparently all it takes for me to feel better?  Play in my basketball league against one of the worst teams who have no substitutes (in other words they were quite tired the halfway point of the first half).

We won something like 55-28, and I think I was high scorer for our team.

16 points (courtesy of a lot of wide-open looks and no defence from the aforementioned tired team)!  I've reached the top.  Ain't no way I'm gonna score even half that much for the remaining games.

It's all downhill from here.

Oh crap, I have to go back to work tomorrow, don't I?

Marching On

Now for a little inspiration from the folks that told me it's too late to apologize:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHvgAJe8bvM&feature=player_embedded#!

Now Is It Real?

To me it is

Here Comes The Wine

I'm talking about the Pinot Don't Want To Work Tomorrow...wine.

Lots of stuff to do at work, but don't want to do it.  Where's the motivation?  I'm not even scared of failing...I just want to spend time in my garage and clean it out like I did today (put up a bike holder).

And Captain Complainy is done.

For now

FTL FTW

So we found ourselves in Buffalo (leaving at 2:15pm, nonetheless).  We went to find Sharon some boots, and the inevitable happened:  I ended up buying everything.

Started the purchases at Mighty Taco (always wanted to try it ever since I was young and saw the commercials on TV).  Result of that culinary experience?  Meh.

Then got myself a nice pair of cheap-ish shoes, a hat and scarf set from Forever 21 for pretty cheap (just realized how gay I sound by stating the preceding part), a few plates to replace the one I broke a few days ago and what I always end up getting whenever I go to Tar-jey:  Fruit of the Loom underwear (21 pairs for cheap!) and Chex Mix.  I don't think I'll ever run out of underwear.

I also thought the same thing I always think of when we're there:  how the hell do people live here?!?

We then went to Johnny Rockets at Fallsview Casino because I had a $15 certificate that I paid $7 for from Groupon.  Unfortunately, that $8 we saved went towards the $10 parking.  Luckily Johnny Rockets is one of my favourite hamburger joints ever.

I think I have to start exercising more again.  But I'm so dang tired...I think getting sick knocked my system out for a bit

Still So Fargin-Hargin Cute

Love that Xavier boy...he's so damn cute.

Poor Bubs though; she's still sick so she wore a mask when she went to see him.  Their family is going on a trip to Cuba.  Jealous because I really want to go on a vacation.

Prolly because work has been especially stressful these past few weeks (coincides with the sickies? Maybe).  But I wanted this, right?

This is what I have to tell myself everyday

Tired

I'm tired.

I think I'll sleep a little more for tomorrow.

Growing older sucks

One (Or More) Paint Coats Until...

..."holy crap I'm finally done?!?"

Just had to get over this virus before I could finally start painting.  I hate it when I have to do more than one coat.

But whatever!  FB pics soon to come, because of course that's the whole reason I did this kitchen renovation.

And then...we sell the house!  (not really)

Heavy Eyes, It's Been Awhile

It's been a week or so since I've woken up at 5am.  And wow was it tough.

Pushed snooze about 3 times, which is 3 times more than I usually do.  I think basketball just about zapped me of my energy yesterday.

Let's see what happens after I go to the gym tomorrow.  This should be interesting

As Predicted, I Was In Desperate Need Of...Air

Coughing, hacking, wheezing like a old man.  That's how I was in my basketball game today.  Oh, and I forgot my water bottle.  I was absolutely dying out there.  I felt like what those smokers feel like, I think.

Really not a pretty sight.  I'm still trying to get over this sickness thing; thus, I only scored three points (there's the excuse!).  And we only lost by 20+ to Conrad's team.  Wow.

Next week I hope to be over this by now.

Also Bubs...I feel so bad for her.  Now she's got laryngitis.  I swear it wasn't my fault!

(maybe a little)

Oh How The Tides Have Turned

Thought you had me down and out, didn't you, viri?

Well my lazy body is finally fighting back.  I feels it.

I also feel extremely fat and lazy.  Gotta git back to it now...

So Being Sick Makes You Work Harder?

Was supposed to take half a day at the most today.  Ended up staying even later than regular hours.

What the bloodclot?  When will this ridicurousness end?

(Including my complaining?)

I hope I can go for basketball tomorrow

It's Because I Was Sick!

Went to Michael's (my Godson's) birthday party today, despite the fact I feel like utter crap.  He had a hockey net in the backyard.  We played.  I couldn't score.  Wow...it's been years since I played hockey.

I hope I can go into work tomorrow.  I have a feeling it's going to be another sleepless/restless night though.  Well, whatever; this too, shall pass.

Unless I die from it (yes, I'm dramatic, but it feels that bad)

When Do You Feel Even Worse When You Are Sick?

When your wife gets sick despite all your attempts for her not to.

I feel even more horribler now.  I'm sorry Bub...believe it or not, I feel even worse than you are feeling physically now.


I have got to start feeling better or I swear I will not have any lungs anymore the way I'm coughing

Whoop(ing Cough) There It Is

Is this what whooping cough feels like?  Cause I'm coughing up a lung here and I'm wheezing at the same time.

And I'm supposed to get better on my own?  Tell that to my body.  It's not co-operating.

On a sidenote, I really have to learn to stop complaining when I'm sick.  Or, you know, just in general

It's Gone Viral

My throat, that is.

Went to the Doctor to find out my infection is viral.  No meds that can kill it; just self-limiting.

Crap.  Now I'll have to suffer for the next little while.  Can't even remember the last time I slept in my own bed (well, I did sleep at Arfeli's last night cause of the meeting I had in Lindsay.  I'm surprised they didn't wake up with all my hacking.  But saving time and not being in traffic ftw).

Damn Viri

It's A Slumber Party

Was supposed to go Ian's tonight to stay over since my meeting tomorrow morning is so dang far away, but since I'm still sick (and frickin' hating it...there goes my whole "oh I don't get sick anymore" shpele right out the window), I've decided to go to Argay and Feli's place instead.

You know, to get them sick instead of Ian and Maunley's baby.

I'm a good friend that way

How Did I Get Here Exactly?

So I was sitting in a room today with the Commish, Directors, Managers and all the other Supervisors in Peel Public Health.

Seriously, how the hell did I get there? I mean, yeah, I won't be there next year (I am, afterall, only acting), but I looked around the room and I could only think to myself, I'm not as responsible as these people nor do I have the ego to think I can lead anyone effectively...wtf?

Mind you, I think I might actually miss the "prestige" that comes along with being known as a leader? Right. Oh, and gay

Ooboo-Ooboo

Dang it, I hope I get over this virus or whatever it is soon. It's starting to piss me off and leaving me with headaches and unable to sleep, and unable to sleep in the same bed as my wife.

Not that I'm complaining or anything. And not that she's complaining or anything (her waking up with a smile is complaining, right?)

And Now I Can Retire From The Game Of Basketball

No, we didn't win. But I did score two points on free throws.

I feel like my season is complete now.

I'm going to go ahead and blame the airball I shot on the fact that I'm still sick. Damn virus

Goal For The Season:

Win at least one game.

Should be interesting tonight. I do want to add, though, a built-in excuse for tonight: I am at about I'd say 72% strength, due to the fact I am sick.

Not that I'm the major scoring threat or anything

...And Baby Boy Takes Me Down

Was wondering why I'm getting sick, then I realized that it's because of Xavier. Little man was sick last Friday, and I did the stupid thing of kissing his hands. Argh.

Now I'm feeling it.

So much so that I skipped basketball with "The Chinese".

I better rest up and get better for tomorrow, because my basketball leagues starts. Hopefully we win at least one game

Restless Night

What's up with the restlessness, hardly get any sleep? Jeez.

I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the Chinese Food we had last night.

Okay, time to gear up for another week of work. I can do this!

Not Quite Central Park

So Bubs and I went for a bike ride by Meadowvale's version of Central Park: Lake Acquataine. It was nice

All It Needs Is A Little Polka

So Mellie's wedding was fun! I mean, the food was a little underwhelming, but I found the company, entertainment and the band good times.

Yes, the band. A Croatian band that mostly played music similar to polka. Easy to dance to and get my groove on with the drunk white chicks. Okay, not that I had game; they were my workmates afterall. But still...want to make a party a good time? Add some polka!

Mellie Mel's Making Marriage

Melissa is getting married today. Looks like I'll be overeating again tonight, but whateves.

I just slept something like 9 hours. I feel so discombobulated
