October Update

Wooh! It's been 3 weeks and I didn't get a chance to update my blog.. I was so busy checking my facebook. Oh! I just love it! It's soooo addicting especially all those quizzes. Here's a quick run through of the things that happened this month.



Oct 6 - Birthday party of Janet's co-worker. Darwin was invited as the DJ so we're all there to hang out. I had LOTS of mohitos. Got drunk!! Danced all night with my girl Janet. Now they call us the "dynamic duo" and Go-go dancers... =P Of course, we'd like to support our DJ. mwah!

Oct 7 - We finally saw "Knocked Up".. Oh it's sooo funny. That guy cracked me up. Silly... (Chris' fave line.. hehe)

Oct 9 - Did some laundy from 7-12mn. There's like 10 loads of wash and there's this girl who keeps removing my stuff from the dryer. We share two dryers in the complex. It's just so disrepectful coz she didn't even put the clothes inside the hamper. I was only late for like 3 minutes. I got really pissed, so I had to wait 5 minutes earlier just to stop her from doing that (again). I was sooo tired that night. I didnt have enough sleep.

Oct 10 - Cooked sinigang... It's Darwin's fave =)

Oct 12 - I had my annual check up at Kaiser. I was expecting that the whole process will take me 2hours but it came out really quick because everything is computerized. I dont need to fill out those forms that asks about my medical history, etc. My previous clinic was really slow, they should come up with the same system as Kaiser. I remember back home, I have to pass the medical exam just to get hired. Here in the US, you cant do that coz companies cannot discriminate people according to their health, age, disabilities. Just as long as your qualified to do the job, they must hire you.

Oct 13 - Long Beach Marathon (will post details later), bought a new bed, and went to a birthday party.





Oct 15 - The new bed got delivered! We chose the queen diamond matress which is a better type of orthopedic matress. It's bigger than the old one coz we used to have full bed.. now it's queen. It comes with a wood/leather headboard in dark brown which I really love!

Oct 16 - I did a presentation on our quarterly team meeting. I'm the newest member of the team and my boss told me that this is one way of introducing me to everyone. He gave me a heads up a couple of weeks before the presentation and I cannot say NO coz he's relying on me. It's a big team, there's about 20 in California and 10 in Texas so we have to do teleconference. They only gave me 15 minutes to present and I was really nervous when they called me to get ready. But it came out good coz our director told me that I did a good job =P He was sitting just right next to me. My hands were really cold. =P

Oct 18 - On my way to work, a BIG rock hit my windshield while I'm driving at Interstate-5 freeway. It is caused by Santa Ana winds that comes to Southern Cali every October. It's gusty wind that goes from 50 to 60mph. I called Darwin right away coz I'm scared that the glass might just crack while I'm driving.





Oct 19 - Party at the twins. I did some catching up with the girls, played the liar's game then danced Top40s music from Darwin's ipod. Chris was our bartender and he made mohitos, peach schnapps, pina colada. Booze keeps coming in and everyone got really crazy. It's all good though but we're kinda loud =P When we're about to get home, I went to the bathroom and passed out. I'm not really sure what happened after that but I remember I want to lie on the floor coz it's cold. Darwin told me that I even cried for no reason at all.





Oct 20 - I woke up with a bad headache. Darwin bought tapsilog and longsilog for brunch. Around noon, we started moving out stuff from the storage. We donated most of it to Goodwill Center and the value of the things donated is tax deductible. We watched Snatch on HBO HD movies then had Yoshinoya for dinner.

Oct 25 - I finally went to the gym to train for the upcoming 5K marathon at Santa Clarita. It took me 22 minutes for 1.5 miles, that means I average approx 15 minutes per mile. I wish I can finish the marathon (crosses fingers)
