Helping my son out
I have been busy lately, been helping my son to look for compatible jobs that he can do, while he is trying his luck in Singapore. He doesn’t know yet what he wants in life. He is having difficulty choosing careers but he can’t wait forever in choosing a path. He has to find something now.
Back in my highschool days, the teenagers have to go to the town hall offices to see if there are new job posting in the bulletin board. They also check in the newspaper for job opportunities but nowadays, people use web searches and search engines to get what they want.
Sleepless Night
After a few weeks traveling in Asia, I need to adjust with the timezone again. It’s 3 in the morning here and still I can’t sleep.I tried counting sheeps already in my head but it doesn’t work. My pimples are screaming already Go to sleep!! As much as I want to prick them out right now I’m afraid it might turn into a scar.
My beauty is all naturally maintained. I don’t usually use acne scar removal here in Canada, if it is not necessary. I once tried using an astringent and it peeled my face literally. I wasn’t able to go out for a week that time fearing that the sun might hurt my face. It’s one of my terrifying weeks in maintaining my beauty.
Well right now it’s almost 4 in the morning. I will try to get some sleep again.
Online Learning
The last time I went to college was back in 2008. Yes! I’m an adventurous woman that’s right! I tried enrolling to a nursing school. Well things didn’t quite go well that time. I’m not admitting that I’m getting old, lets just say that I’m getting sensitive to dust, pollutions and all the traveling in the middle of the afternoon.
I totally agree with Sharon (My idol in the Philippines) about taking an online degree. When she showed up advertisement, I immediately went online to google online universities , luckily I found one but it needs a personal appearance first so you can be enrolled at their university. Too bad for me, I got so little time to do that, maybe when I’m done with my chores I’ll check it out again. Who knows I might be your next classmate chatting with you online.
A day with my BFF
Few days before i left to visit singapore, my friend asked me to accompany her to the shopping malls around the city because she wanted to buy furnitures. We made a date out of it.
They’ve recently bought a house and unexpectedly it came along with it is there own theatre room. After buying the table for the kitchen we went back to her house, so I can check it out. It’s not fully furnished but the entertainment was remarkable, it came with a very nice home theater seating. It was so unique. To tell you the truth it’s the first time I’ve been to house that has its own theatre room. The room is dark and lots of life size posters like Godzilla and Titanic.
She gave me a book with a list that she have as I waited in the room while she prepares popcorn. As I sat in the comfortable theater chairs it really feels like watching movies in typical mall theaters.
At the end of the day, she invited me to come back one of these days to have another movie marathon. Of course I said yes because I had a lot of fun today.
Driver who doesn’t know his way
It was passed twelve noon when my son arrived at the house and picked me up to drop me off to the airport. It was ten minutes after when my chauffer/driving instructor Joseph. Well basically his expertise is mostly in teaching and not in being a driver. As he parks the car to the front yard Jamelle (my son) grabbed my luggages and putts them in the compartment.
As I gracefully enters the 2007 Vios car, Joseph mentioned that he is not really familiar with the road (oh boy that’s going to be a problem). Being one of the aging classy sophisticated ladies I’m not also familiar with roads. All I know is I’ll pass the biggest mall and from there the airport would be near.
Eventually were on the road, we went to this big mall and from there followed buses going to the airport. My son made some phone calls from his friends that knows the road much but wasn’t really that of a big help. We took one turn one time when we were following this bus but got caught in the mid hour a traffic jam.
We took a one minute stop at this gasoline station (which basically solved my issues with directions) and the gasoline guys are quite kind enough to point us the exit signs of the road which we were stuck for 15 minutes and pointed us to the correct route going to the airport.
Few minutes later. Jamelle already recognizes the road going to terminal three as I heard that news I am relieved of the stress of being late. I immediately made some few strokes with the brush and made once again the candle effects of beauty queens. As he drives nearer and nearer to the departure bay. I’ve checked in the things that I have. Tickets? Checked! Bags? Checked! All set up and ready to go.
As the car stopped I moved fast to the check-in counters and run towards the gates. Yet exhausted from the fast pace I manage to keep the smile in my face. So excited right now. I’ll be visiting my daughter again in Singapore!
Singapore! Here I come
Got myself a gift
While I was in Singapore, I saw this nice solitaire diamond earring in a shop. I always wanted one so I thought I would buy myself one. It’s great that the shop accept credit card because I didn’t have cash at that moment.
I bought it and it was tax-free ! I think it was a pretty good deal, it would have cost me three time more if I bought it in Canada.
Helping my daughter declutter
My daughter has difficulty parting with things. So on my vacation there I did help her out a bit on decluttering. I was amazed on how much stuff she keeps even if she would never use it again. She even has an epson receipt printer she got from somebody, she said she might use it in the future. I don’t think she will ever have the need for it so I just threw it away. She’s alright with it 
Vacation in Singapore
I just came back from a holiday Singapore. I visited my daughter there so we can spend some more time before I go back to Canada. We had a great time. We did a bit of everyting tourists do, some shopping and sight seeing.
Singapore is a shopping haven. If you are looking to buy electronics, it is the place. Electronics like mobile phones, computers and cameras are way cheaper than in any country I have visited.
