monday… it’s all good

it's a Monday… and i'm raving!

it's my first day on the 10am to 7pm shift today. nice shift! lotsa chance for OT (if the gf does not get too sticky, that is!).  my morning's good… i only slept barely more than 4 hours but am not complaining, it' my own doing anyway. i was up till 3am watching the 4400 TV series on DVD.. sleepy? no one to blame  but me.  but sleepiness is the last thing on my list today, i have a lot of "To Do's" but my day is starting right (hopefully, my week too!).

the gf was early at the house this morning, just almost past six. i would've complained cuz i was to wake up at 7am, wanting to leave at 8 and having at least 5 hours of sleep, but hey! i ain't gonna be an insensitive prick today, i appreciate it! also, I got to work earlier that expected (9am) and so, I have the chance to write this, yeye, finally!

so, i also made it to TOP THREE at the Morning Rush's Daily Top 10 today! a new guy (i think Jake was his name, a winner of the Radio Idol contest probab'ly, making the lucky guy the new  RX DJ) was with Chico, as (from what i heard from the JumpStart) Delle was still in the US and won't be back till next week.  Anyway, the guy read my entry which was for the "TOP TEN things you would like to do if u were of the opposite gender for a day"….to which my entry was…

"i'd spend the whole 24 makin' out with my girl so we can have a child of our own, which would make us complete."

they got the point, the guy said i was one of Ellen deGeneres' kind…and they had the wits to remind me to make sure that my  girl was "ovulating", hence we'd just be disappointed. cool men, they are.

 I just got off the cellphone with my lone sis, who was celebrating her bday yesterday. It’s good to know I’m grounded and I really appreciate the fact that the gf nudged me into calling instead of just texting. I’ve has my ruses with her, esp. when she forgot my bday last april..heh.

Oh, and the weather’s really great! Just enough clouds, enough sun. wind has Christmas written all over it. I was actually looking forward into writing about the night sky and the stars I’ve looked up to while I rode the tricycle home at 12mn-2am, the past three days of my 1-10pm shift last week. The kind of sky that reminds me of my time in Batangas,   when  I graduated from college and took mountain climbing (kuno at Pico de Loro) for a couple of days with the college paper gang. Lying on a “papag” staring at the great big sky that night left me in awe of the universe. I’ve always fancied space, the start and the comets. I wanted to be an astronaut (my secret dream) for a long time, if given the chance, hahaha. Anyway, the constellation Orion (with the Tres Marias as her belt, of course) was always the one I look up to whenever I get the chance to get a good look at a bright clear sky.

Christmas, yep, it’s here aryt! You can smell it, you can hear it, see it, feel it. We went to Divisoria so I can get a good money’s worth of Christmas lights yesterday (got it for 100, when we started the “tawaran” portion at 140), I was so excited it went up the moment I got home at 9pm.  I was busy being dazzled by the lights (with the dramatic turn off the main ones) I didn’t notice the green ones were lighting up at all, sheesh! If the kid downstairs didn’t mention why it didn’t have greens,  I wouldn’t have noticed. I made “palusot” that the lights on my Christmas tree (went up the day before) already has green lights, and taking a good aim at the chance t brag about my little green tree with silver and lemon yellow flowers on it, the kids esp. likes the sparkling Christmas balls on it. In any case, looks like I’m gonna have to find time to tear down the Christmas lights by my window so I can have the greens fixed.

The malls were already palying Christmas carols as early as Nov.2, it was as if they were more than eager to get Nov. 1 over and done with.  Well, I guess that’s why the Philippines is known to have the longest holiday season in the world, what with it  staring Nov.2 and ending at January 6 (3 Kings Feast)! Meanwhile, the air just is so cool, it reminds me of a sunny day in Tagaytay or Baguio, ang sarrap matulog!

well, it’s 10:30am, I gotta get to work,  and earn my keep. Until then, thank God, life is good! As DJ Sexy Love Delamar says what her motto is: “IT’S ALL GOOD!”
