In less than a month my Father will be leaving for Australia. I have been helping him out with the things he needs to bring there. One of the major stuff are the techie gadgets. He wanted helped in canvasing what he would buy. I did not get to help with his cell phone because he just bought a new one out of the blue. He bought a Nokia 5800. He was very proud and would not even let me or my sister tinker with it. I did help with his laptop buying. I already have a friend who I contact if I need to buy a laptop. It took awhile for him to decided whether he will buy a laptop or not. Finally my father decided to buy one.
Now my problem is teaching my father how to use it. So last Sunday we celebrated Father's day at K1 spa. We did not avail the spa services instead we went there for the wifi. After eating dinner wet there lugging two laptops, my sister's and my Father's. It was a Sunday so there were no customers. We took out the laptops ang order Nachos and drinks. Then I started my tutorial...
Internet 101, Connecting the laptop throught Wifi, How to Chat through YM and skype.
At least we were somehow reserved...well compared when I was teaching him at home we were shouting at each other...don't do this, click that, double click, right click.....After the session I was drained. I didn't even get to peek my facebook because the time we stayed at K1 I was the teaching my Father a lot of stuff. My sister assisted when we taught him how to chat. We tested his built in web cam. My Mom was the only one not tinkering with any gadget. Around 9:30 we headed home.
That was only part one of the tutorials...sigh
Random-randomness
There are a lot realizations I have lately....
first ...I realized that the main reason I have not been blogging anything lately because I spend too much time with facebook (damn you Mafiawars).
second... I suck at making faces or doing wacky shots.
The picture is cropped so you can only see my hand...
third...there is life after sex scandal.
fourth...I have been in rut lately when it comes to doing creative stuff.
My workload lately involves fine tuning the approve materials so its just no brainer tasks. I have not put my brain to good use. It not just with work even with my personal stuff. I have not draw, paint, sketch, took a photo for the past few months. I feel that my creativity seems to be dead (no wonder I make crappy wacky shots....) But I know I must not cultivate this creative rut.
Somehow my boss challenges us to make better campaigns...so my almost dread brain will no be force to restart all engines. sigh.

What happened when my blog lay dormant
It's been awhile since I last wrote a blog entry. I checked and I have two drafts. I am not going to continue those blog entries because it is already outdated.
I plurked the other day about not blogging anything. One plurker replied that maybe nothing is happening in my life. That is quite the opposite. There are lot of stuff going on and I have just no time to blog about it.
It has been a whirlwind for me with my workload, going to Cebu with my sister and a scandal (that has rocked not only my but the whole country).
One of my drafts is titled wildfire. It was about a relative being involved in the recent scandal. I am really sad for her and do wish she is doing ok despite everything. All I can say we all do foolish things for love at one point of our lives. I hope people will not judge her for what they saw. . . (what happened really made me sad and worry but I can't really do anything about it since its a long time since I had contact with her). I will always pray that you have the strength to face everything.
Enough about the scandal thing... I had just went to Cebu with my sister. It was suppose to be the last outing of my sister with her barkada before starting their review but unforseen circumstances I went with my sister to serve as a chaperone. I have a blast. It was a break from weeks of heavy workload and my IELTS exam. We met with long lost cousins, went mall hopping, tried the sky walk and the edge coaster and hang out with an Aunt her family. It was fun outing with out the parentals.
Last Saturday I finally got my IELTS results. I have been dreading it. I assumed that I would get 5 for my writing test. I did not get a 5 but a 6 for my writing test. Still not the score I wanted. I am suprised that I got 8 for my speaking ang 8.5 for my listening. I got a 7 for my reading which is already good. I hope I will not take the test again because I got a 6. I do not know if ever I will take the test if I will get the an 8 or an 8.5 mark again.
Being busy with lots of stuff I have not made any personal projects. I did not blog, took a picture or drew in my moleskin. The only thing I continue to do is my 50 book challange. I am right now reading my 23rd book. I have to finish 25 books this month, so I got two books to go and I am already half my 50 mark.
I have been glum lately due to my weight. I feel fat. I must find a diet that suit me. I cannot skip meals or spend more time in the gym. If I eat super less I tend to have headaches or I don't have energy. I used to be a camwhore right now I avoid taking pictures because I am a sight for sore eyes. I should get my act together!
I should find a way to lift my spirits up. Somehow I feel I am in my yearly slump. I must find a way to rejuvenate my creativity and spark inspiration. All this Facebooking made my blog empty. I must wean myself from mafia wars.
I got half year to go till the year is over and I must challenge myself to do more.
