from my blackberry with love

Photo taken with blackberry

When I said that I am getting used to commute now, it is not as if I’m doing a round of the city most of my time, I have been out lately, and that’s why.

Although I still wished to live in an interesting community, with lots of character, as some people say, where I can only walk to a cafe and some small shops in every corner, a book store or a library maybe, things are just fine even I  have to take a bus to get there, or walk… somehow.

Right now (as of writing this) I was minding four kids plus Anthony’s three year old nephew. Five all of them.

It is so nice of my beau’s sister to leave the kids to me on their nap time, but I don’t care if they are all up.  That’s what I am good at, playing with little angels.

Since they are all napping, I feel that I have all the time for myself and I now having the lust for writing, just simply writing.

It was very un-ME that I was looking for a paper to write on. Sometimes I have a book and I have nothing to say…or write. It was freeing though, a very warm feeling that I am writing right now. How I wish that I am doing it right now on a notebook and writing myself with a pen. Oh, how I love to do that.

And my camera, it was silly of me to leave my memory card. Now I can’t take any photos for today.

(Key-in on my blackberry at 1 PM at Kelly’s couch while watching House Hunter – one of my favorite at HGTV -right after tucking Kennedy back to her little mattress. Poor little girl, she might just had a bad dream. She woke up and cried but now sleeping like an angel again.)

Rambling of my deranged fingers

Published on August 9, 2008 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .


Is my site ready yet? I’ve been refreshing my site for an hour, I am in the mood for making a post today when I realized that I was like ditched by this miserable site in the middle of the long winding road.

It’s been a week since Entrecard launched their magic toolbar and I was in awed because I figured that it will help me to get more drops than usual. I’ve been goaling to get 300 drops a day but my long working days don’t allow me to do so. It is even cutting me to post regularly.

11 to 13 hours work daily, depends on what time I want to go downto my room, there is nothing much to blog actually. And I don’t have that much knowledge on everything around me, all you see here is nothing but whining and drooling over something I want to do but I cannot do or I am refusing to do.

Yesterday I received a call from Winghill Writing School, it is an online school for writing. I said before that I want to learn creative writing, I don’t want to just blog about something and earn a little. Alright, I am making myself stupid here.

Limbo

Published on May 12, 2008 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

How many times I told myself not to read other blogs or just visiting other sites, and I want to add dropping EC before I do my business (which is blog posting)?

I realized by doing those stuff before mine is a cruel thing to do for my blog. I honestly cannot post anything, and I totally put Residual Matters in limbo. First, too much reading of considerable topics on blogosphere drains my mind.

Second, I was affected by the recent email I received from PPP. For the nth time, they rejected me. I took it ruefully that I made this blog a photoblog (for the meantime) without thinking. I must say that I was hurt, especially when I saw this line, “Accepted blogs must contain posts which are written clearly and are easy to understand. Your blog contains a high number of grammatical errors.”

It’s killing me.

It’s over-reacting if I say I am lamenting, but yes I am. You see I am trying hard to do the thing that I am not good at. I know I can write in my native language excellently (yes, I am boasting), but I want to prove that I can write other languages too. Yes, languages because you might see me writing in French, Italian, Korean, or it depends if what language I want to learn. Now I am dreaming.

She Says, He says – What is my regular day like?

Published on April 29, 2008 in Personal. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

This is another weekly meme and I can’t ignore Ivan’s invitation, she’s one blogger that always remember my blog even I don’t visit hers regularly. Aside from that, I find She says, He says interesting to make.

According to Ivan:

The idea is that any of these: a question, fill in the blank, multiple choices, photo or a writing prompt will be posted here. Express your thoughts in your blog and feel free to leave a link to your blog with your answers when you’re done. Anyone can hop in and join the fun every Tuesday! =)

Today’s activity is a question.

What is your regular day like?

I am a Live-In Caregiver, and I find my day as stay at home wife and a mother usually does; only I am employed to do that. And only I submit to the wife and most importantly, the the youngest daughter. I am glad that both my employers don’t treat me differently though.

I start my day in the kitchen, second to the washrooms; I believe the kitchen should be always clean. Every time the kids mess up, I see the needs to tidy up the place again. I do the laundry and cooking also. I clean the whole house if the kids are in school, and I play and watch TV with the youngest, whenever she’s at home, that’s cool eh? If I don’t play and watch TV or movies with her, I’m in total trouble. I don’t want that to happen.

Hear ye! Hear ye! My mind is mumbling.

Published on April 4, 2008 in Journal. 0 Comments Tags: .

Yesterday I was loaded with words that continue running on my mind. While my body was busy cleaning the whole house my mind was busy too constructing ideas which are mostly for my blog entry. That is how my everyday life evolves, my physique is doing the errands and my mind is creating some text that I can hardly remember when the time that I need to post it.

Sometimes I think of keeping a paper and a pen in my pocket so that I can write every detail that is flowing inside my brain. I remember how a Singaporean author wrote his entire book; it was at the tail of the bus during his ride to home after office hours.

But me writing in between chores is not advisable. I don’t want to lose a job,  and that, I am sure.
