133: A Visit From Sister and an Impromptu Beach Get Away

There was quite a lot of things that have happened for the past few weeks. First, my sister arrived from Singapore. I took a leave in the office so I could savor the days she spent at home. During the time that she was here we spent nothing but talk about business, success, happiness, and God. I - seriously, seriously love love talking to my sister about this stuff; because it makes me feel wiser and humbled. I love how she continues to nurture me with her wisdom and her faith. I love how we talk because talking to her about dreams, ambitions, and plans stimulates me and makes me realize how possible it is.

I have have a wonderful relationship with my sister. She and I have been each other's confidante, and each other's best friends. She's my anchor in this world. ☺

To give you an idea, my sister is a helluva ambitious. So during those time we have been planning our future success in life. lol.

During our "planning" session @ UCC cafe

My sister did not stay long and had to go back to Singapore, but not until we found myself an insurance company to invest in, help me understand some things in financial world, had our facials together, dined out, and had lectured me of my relationship with God. It was indeed fun. 

She have left last Feb 26, 2012. *sigh*

Next, my friends and I had an impromptu beach get away last Feb 28, 2012. My friend, Joy had texted me Feb 26, 2012. I have ignored it because it seems a little too hasty. I thought that the plan was too unplanned and realized the likeliness that it wouldn't happen. But then last Feb 27, 2012 she made a follow-up text literally begging me to go with her -- not to disappoint her because she has to bathe in a salt-walter because of her skin - condition which is a Psoriasis. 

I was waiting for mr. FA when she texted me. I was titillated because I like the idea of hitting the beach, and her statement "I wanted to relieve some stress too" beguiled me. So I texted some friends and passed the invitation. It was unfortunate that four of my girl friends were not able to join us because they have work. But we were glad that we were able to push through with our plans. Here our pictures:

The past few days had been really packed for me. I met with few people to deal business with, hangout with my friends, and literally go-nuts with the whole idea of investments and future planning. I love learning, discovering, and doing new things. It excites me how much I didn't know about the world. 

130: A Sad Post

Finally, at home. Yesterday, I got some upsetting email from my boss and since we will be having a meeting with her I was a bit nervous about it because I know I was in trouble. When we started our meeting I was really hoping that she won't pin point to the mistakes our team have done and end up highlighting my name. I was lucky that our boss did not name "us" (who made mistakes) but generally discussed the errors with us. It was embarrassing enough that she had emailed all of my team with my name in the screenshot who did the mistake. hahaha! Oh well. It happens.

On other things, I am little saddened of the fact that my father seems to be a little distant today [which was weird]. It started when my brother and I was not able to buy my mother something for Valentines. I really did not mean not to buy her a flowers, I wanted to, I just failed to do so. But I am planning to make up for it. I'll be buying her a flowers and a cake. Anyway, I believe that it was mostly where the drama started; because he had ranted how disappointed he was. But I do not know, my father has an unpredictable mood swings, and today might just be that day.

To say, my relationship with my father is complicated. Our relationship with him is complicated. I wish I could elaborate but I can't so let's leave it that way. Tomorrow's another day, let's just hope for a brighter one.

29: Losing grip

Somehow, there's something that's really bothering me today ... and it's what I have to pay for. If you want to know what I have to pay for, I have to pay for what my father have failed to noticed.

He lent me a credit card without checking it's expiry date. He didn't know that it's about to expire until we received the letter. So there's no chance for us not to pay for the renewal charges it because it was an automatic charge since we have a pending debt.

Now, instead of only paying 2000+ I have to pay extra 3,000+ for the renewal.

What a pain in the fucking rear.
