Doesn’t give a damn)

June 17-19: Was on sick leave due to pneumonia; thank God it’s not dengue; spent

The week at my cousin’s place.

June 20: Went back to work; Found out from an officer that she wanted me to have

a formal turnover before taking my sick leave (the nerve!) and she is

actually questioning why I informed her only through text!

Slowly

June 22: Typhoon Frank; but enjoyed the day nonetheless because my honey is

With me; cancelled prenup pictorial

June 23: Talked to an officer of a company I am handling and she requested me to

Join their activity. I told her I can’t because I was sick, and she told me

That I should join them since it was already a week since I had been sick

And that I should take this time to bond with the employees (hmmm…)

Composed my final letter, but haven’t emailed it yet

June 24: Didn’t join the activity; I’d rather risk my work than my health and my

life. Still thinking when I should send the letter.

June 25: writing in this blog just to express my anxieties…

MORAL OF THE STORY:

  • A lot can happen in a span of a few days.
  • You are insignificant to them. What’s important is that you do what you’re supposed to do no matter what it costs you.
  • They don’t believe it when you say you’re sick. You aren’t sick if you can still walk and talk (and text). They would probably believe you if you tell them you’re dying.
  • If you’re no longer happy, quit! It’s not worth all the psychological and emotional stress they bring you.
  • You deserve to be treated better; don’t let anyone put you down.
  • There are people who love you and who will stay with you through thick and thin. And these are called family and friends. You would know who truly cares in times like these. And thank God I have found them…

And to all others who don’t give a damn…the time is near…I am ready to go…It will be your loss…

My Mommy Entry # 7

My In My Womb 3d/4d Ultrasound Experience Last Saturday, we had our 6th checkup with our OB-Gynecologist. So far, everything's ok. I passed my Glucose Challenge test, but I still need to cut on my sugar intake. We were also able to hear our little one's heartbeat. Next week I will be having my Tetanus Toxoid shot -- scary!! After the checkup, we proceeded to Makati for our scheduled 3d4d ultrasound at In My Womb. I have heard lots of great reviews about this ultrasound center so we have decided to have our ultrasound there. Their center is located at 2f, The Link Bldg, Ayala Makati. The building is beside Landmark. Before proceeding, we had our lunch first at Ineng's Special BBQ -- great food, terrible customer service! After eating, we then proceded to the 2nd level. We were greeted by a courteous nurse and I told her that I was scheduled for an ultrasound with Dra. Ramos. I would actually like to have the procedure done by the owner, Dra. Shiela Illescas, since i ...

Rants and Raves of a 26 year-old

Today I woke up wondering if yesterday was really my birthday. Yesterday went by so fast… And I didn’t even have time to reflect on the things that I needed to be thankful for. I have actually been whining about yesterday. I honestly didn’t feel good about anything. I was not happy. I was greeted by friends (who remembered), family and colleagues. Some sincere, some obliged. I used to love my day. But yesterday was entirely different. I didn’t feel anything special about the day. It was just an ordinary day for me. And I felt sad about it. I am actually not used to celebrating my birthday extravagantly. I just do things that I felt like doing for the day. Spend a day off from work, spend time with my loved one, simple dinner with the family, a simple surprise. But yesterday, I only got a few of my wishes. I spent a whole day at work, I spent a few hours with my hubby, and no dinner with family, and no surprise. It was sad, really. My hubby kept tel...

Easy way out

Yesterday (February 22), i took the easy way out. It's been almost a week since I gave birth to Jakob Caleb (separate post on my birthing story and the name).  I have been trying to breastfeed him since day 1 and I can say I was somehow successful on the first 4 days.  But came the 5th day...and i was literally crying and screaming every time I nurse him. Everything just seemed so wrong.  He was very fussy, probably because he can't get that much milk yet from me and I was scared of feeding him because i know how painful it's going to be.  We were awake from 1:40 AM until 7:00 AM just because he can't seem to be satisfied with my milk. Jake decided on Saturday morning to buy him the recommended formula given by the pedia.  And we fed him the bottle, and he fell soundly asleep for about 3 hours. I know i could have tried harder...but the bottomline is i don't think i can do it.  I have always admired mothers who breastfeed their babies without any problems a...
