Random thoughts

I am listening right now to my sister's music background for her blog. It's really nice. Makes me think of family, friends and my life. I think the tune is from a music box. Really pretty!

It's the weekend and i got the weekend off. Yipee! My week has been pretty busy. I only got one day off. I know i said i dont have a job anymore. But i still have that part time job at the hospital. I dont get much hours there and lesser pay too. So i am still currently looking for another job. I applied to a couple so far. Hope i'll get positive results. I miss getting up in the morning and dressing up for work. Now, i wake up at nine and wear sweat pants to work. It's not very glamorous, i know, but at least i am doing something and earning money at the same time.

Rick wants me to think of something fun to do this weekend and all i can think of is shopping! But i am not in my shopping mood coz i dont need anything right now. I dont need more nice clothes coz i certainly dont need it at the hospital. I cant wear jeans there either! The past couple times we went out shopping, it was Rick that actually bought something! I am proud of him! I think my style is slowly rubbing off to him. I was gonna go shopping for my family back in the Philippines so that i can finally send them the balikbayan box, but i had to send a bigger amount of money last Monday to pay for my dad's hospital bill. So right now, i cant afford to do anything.

It's a gloomy day here. We had bad storms last night. 7 tornado touchdown in the cities, which isnt very far from here, but we mostly had strong wind and rain. I think it's tornado season again. It can be pretty scary , specially when we hear the siren goes off, it means the tornado is here. Nothing bad happened to our town so far since i've been here. Hope it stays that way! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hope the weekend would be better so we can go to the driving range or better yet play 18 holes! :wink:

Fishing Day

We went fishing yesterday at Spooner Lake. I was so excited, that everytime i catch a fish i would be screaming with glee! Rick had to shush me coz i was a little too noisy hehehe... Nobody was around though! But i guess he just dont want to scare the fish away!

Rick had his share of the fun too! Although I still caught the biggest fish that day.

I get to drive the boat too! It was fun! The weeds were a little scary though. It gets through the propeller and makes the motor run slower. It felt like the weeds didnt was us to go anywhere!

Fishing is weird. There's a lot of different kinds of stuff to use like hooks, bobber, lures, lines and bait. And you have to use a specific type of "stuff" for a certain type of fish. I know it's mind boggling! I never knew fishing's so complicated! It was frustrating at first but i gave in and settled for just catching a sunfish. All we caught were little ones, so we end up throwing it back in the water. Finally, after catching so many, we gave up and went cruising around the lake instead. I had lots of fun and I have learned so many new things too! We already had our next fishing trip planned. Hopefully we'll catch a keeper this time.

Picture It! 3

The Tower at Enger Park

This place offers a spectacular view of Duluth.

Glensheen Mansion - Duluth, MN

The place was rumored to be haunted. The owner of the house was robbed and murdered inside. The place is open to the public for tours. The tour is not about the murder though, but about the house. It was considred hi-tech during its time. Nothing creepy happened when we took the tour. But the baby of our friend was giggling and nobody was playing with him?

Monday Misery

I woke up around 9am this morning. I know i should be happy about that, but i am not! I feel bad not working. I feel sorry to see my husband go to work while i am home not doing anything! I dont even have to make lunch for him! I feel so useless... I never thought i'd be miserable once i quit my job. Yet I am! But i have to do it! For my sanity! Money was good there but i was not happy! I was crabby everyday. I'll just try to convince myself that i did the right thing...

But my day wasnt a complete waste. I cleaned the living room and kitchen windows! I finished the laundry too. Tomorrow, i'll do the ironing! Oh boy! My life is so exciting! I dont know why i am writing an entry about my day! This is just a complete waste of your time - to whoever bothered to read this! hahaha

I just feel so miserable... I like being productive, needed and useful. I better think of a project...

Bye bye job!

It's the weekend. And I am enjoying it so much! I dont have to worry about not being able to sleep in coz I got used to waking up early during the weekdays! And I dont have to worry about getting up early on Monday coz I QUIT MY JOB! Yes, I did! And I am so proud of myself! It was so hard to get that job (something related to my profession). I waited so long... and finally that opportunity was offered to me. It was almost a year ago. September 19th would have been my anniversary and i could start earning vacation time. But, i wasnt able to wait for that benefit. I know i should have waited. But my boss just got so unbearable that i woke up one morning and decided not to go back. It's bad that i didnt give them advance notice, but i dont think they deserve it. She was a jerk! Anyway, that's all over and done with. Time to look for another job!

I am currently using my new PC from Gateway. It's pretty cool. Monitor is so big it looks like the letters i am typing right now is popping out! hahaha weird! I love the keyboard too! It works like magic! I havent been using the backspace so far and i am on my second paragraph... would you believe that! NOT!

Anyway, let me tell you about my day. My Filipina friends, namely, Jemima and Cora invited me to go with them to another Filipina friend of theirs whose having a party. It's free food so obviously i went with them! hehehe The lady's name is Susie short for Jesusa. She was nice and a very good cook! She did all the cooking herself and refused help from us. So while waiting for all the food to get done, she urged us to go watch the parade. It was their town's fair called Minong Days thus the parade. It was nothing spectacular just a simple parade. It was pouring candies, chocolate and suckers though. That was the fun part! But too bad only the kids were scrambling to get some. I met three more filipinas at that party. They were nice but i dont think i'll be seeing them anytime soon. Besides the fact that they live quite a ways away, i dont think we have anything in common. So no sad stories here... In short, new friends and good food equals to a wonderful day!

Old friends...

I just finished checking my friendster account. And what do you know! I got a message from my long lost friend Marveen! I think the last time we saw each other was her wedding day. And that was ten years ago! Her life pretty much changed after that. No more parties for her! While me and the rest of the gang continued to hang out. I wasnt always present on those get together. But it was enough to catch up with how things are with them. But Marveen just completely disappeared. She quit her job and moved to her husband's town.

Well anyway, i am happy to hear from her again. Hopefully i'll get an email from her soon. Although I am a bit upset coz I never heard from Laura and Abigail anymore. I sent them a couple emails but still nothing... I dont know if I offended them or something... I even went back and checked the emails i sent them. It wasnt bad at all! Oh well, at least I tried...
