LUNCH AT FRIEND'S PLACE

Fish Tinula

Fruits for dessert

Kinilaw

The foods

I been so busy at work in last few weeks since my boss gave me more responsibility. I don't have time to cook at home and I really miss cooking. I didn't have time to go out with my friends. Last weekend, hubby went to Montreal and I finished 9:00 pm at work. So me and my friend decided to go out for drinks at that night. We didn't know which bar we gonna go and we end up at the disco bar. We didn't stay long there...we had drinks and we dance until midnight. The next day was my day off, that was Sunday, my friend invited me for lunch at her place. I made the "kinilaw" and they cooked the rest. Oh my, that was really good. I ate a lot, lot, lot. The only missing in the menu was dried fish. Anyway, this time of the year is not the best time to cook dried fish. Summer is the best time since we can cook outside the house.

THROUGH MY LENS

My new blogsite is finally working. If you remember, I posted here that my Gagiers Photography is no longer working. I didn't renew my domain because I want to change it to Photoblog which is the "THROUGH MY LENS". I really had the hard time looking for a better title but nothing came to my mind. Through my lens is hubby's idea which is acceptable to me. So I used it as the title and I started to make the site. It takes me a while to finish it because of my work. Everything in my work went so fast. I just started last Oct 19, 2009 and boss put me in the higher level. I really didn't expect that I will get that position that fast. I put most of my time in my work and almost no time to update my blogs. Last week, I was thinking of finishing my photoblog so that I can introduce to you soon.

So here it is! Feel free to visit "Through my Lens" and don't forget to make comments so that I can improve it.

AT WORK

Work is going back to normal now. It was getting slow at christmas until new year since the school is off and most of the offices were in a holiday. We didn't have much costumers and most of the time, boss called and tell us to close earlier than usual. But today, regular costumers were coming back though the school is not yet open. We were three working today and the boss. Noon time was still very slow and boss thought that there will be no more costumers so he told me that he will go home early and the two were off 1:30 pm. So I was alone the whole afternoon because the next shift will be at 4pm. 1:30 pm, I decided to have my lunch since there were no costumers but before I'm done doing my lunch, a batch of youngs came in so I entertained them and then another group of olds arrived. Oh my! I didn't have time to eat coz I was alone. I did the preparation, packing and cashier. That was too much for me. Finally, I had my lunch at 3 pm. Good thing that I'm not hungry or else, I will have a stomach problem as it always happen if I'm hungry and I will not eat on time.

My co worker arrived at 4 pm and I sat right away to rest. She understand me and it's so nice from her. I'm not working tomorrow and the next day, I have to tell that to my boss. I don't want that it will happen again.

WELCOME 2010

New Year... New Beginning.... New Challenge.... and New Oppurtunity...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE...

EXTRA MONEY FROM WORK

I was so happy when my boss handed me my tips this afternoon. My tips this week is not that much as the last time I've got. We always have our tips the week after our salaray. I had my salary last week and this week is my tips. I only got $40 for two weeks but it's a big help to pay my camera :-) I got $57 two weeks ago and that's the biggest one that I ever had since I started this work and today is the smallest one ever. Anyway, that little amount makes me happy. Hubby delivered some lumpia this afternoon and I put the money aside for my Nikon D5000. I'm pretty sure that I will have it before Christmas. My tips and the money I got from my lumpia will be the one to pay my camera. Hubby wants to pay part of it but I said no. I want that camera as my remembrance from my tips and my lumpia. I still have 90+ dozens of lumpia to do before christmas and one of the costumer told hubby that she will order more. Oh my! Do I have time to do them?I will find some time to do all the orders or else, I will not have my camera before christmas :-)

HUBBY IS SICK

Yes he is:-( I feel pity for him. He has fever and stomachache. I did a massage to him and he took thylenol for fever. He's in the sofa just now watching hockey and he said he feels better with his stomach but he still have a little fever.

I have 100 dozens of lumpia to do and need to be deliver before christmas. Hubby is so upset that he was not able to help me doing some tonight. I just finish few dozen and he will deliver it tomorrow. I need to do some every night or else I will not be able to have them all deliver before christmas. I'm working weekdays only which is good but we have lots of plans every weekend. I guess we have to sacrifice some weekend and do most of the lumpia. I don't want to stop my lumpia even if I'm working because it's a big help for me. I'm planning to buy big lens for my camera. I'm looking forward to have my new camera too:-) I already reserved the Nikon D5000 and I want to have it before Christmas:-)

I MISS BLOGGING

It's been a while that I didn't update my blogs. I'm no longer a fulltime housewife. I can't spend most of my time in my laptop as before due to my work. It's already two weeks gone since I started my work and my boss gave me more hours. It's not really my plan to work fulltime but I started to love my work and found more friends. And the most important is I practice my french while earning money :-) I want to save most of my salary because I'm thinking of taking a photography course. It's been a while that I'm thinking of this but I'm not satisfied with my french. My co-workers are all nice and they always correct my french and it really helps me. I started to gain confidence in talking french to the Quebecers (Quebecois) and I'm sure I can speak french fluently before the end of this year he he he.

I'm not working today and yesterday. We had a very nice and sunny day yesterday and today. We took advantage of the nice weather. We finished the Christmas lights outside and I spend a whole day cleaning our computer room and just now, I'm babysetting the daughter of my friend. She's working tonight until midnight and she was not able to find somebody to babysit for the night. I picked up her baby at the daycare at 4 pm and she still here until 8:45 pm. The auntie of the baby will pick her up after work.

This is all for now guys. The baby wants me to play with her...I will really try my best to blog tomorrow after work or after my bellydancing class.
