Last few months

I am here at work right now, copy pasting some list from the internet. My mind is obviously somewhere else. Last Wednesday, my very good friend Becca who was also watching out for when August schedule will be released sent me an offline message. She told me that the August interview was released already and that I should check. We did find out that we indeed have a schedule already...Aug.18!!!

My co-workers are teasing me that they know how I must be wanting the days to go by so fast and that it is August already. Right now, we are so busy planning about stuff. So time is really going by so fast right now. I want it to go by faster but I also want to be able to enjoy the time I have left with my family. This week we plan to go watch a movie. Just something to do together. I really don't want to feel sad just yet. I am working but I am thinking about so many things. Even when I am sleeping I am dreaming about me & my Pineapple finally together, meeting his family & friends.

It is only less than 90 days left before the interview and around 96 days before we are finally in each other's arms. ONE DAY CLOSER!!!!

Fazoli's

After getting home from work I was having some cravings for Fazoli's Pizza. So I told everyone in the house to get dressed coz we will go out to grab dinner outside. At first they were feeling lazy to get dressed. I told them, go get dressed or I will not ask to go out and pay for dinner again. And they did get dressed.

We went to Eastwood Citywalk in Libis, Q.C. Walking from the parking lot I remember the time we spent there when my Pineapple came by to visit last November. The whole family went out for dinner that night and went bowling & billiards after we ate. It was real fun. Back to the present time, we went to Fazoli's and ordered one whole cheese pizza, a sampler platter of their pasta, one order of their pepperoni stromboli & each one a refillable drink. I also wanted to cherish the time we have together so I asked my bro, Ryan, to take some pictures of us together using his camera phone. Mylene was feeling embarrassed coz she thinks it's jologs to take pictures in public. But we don't care about what other will think or say.

It's our time together so we better enjoy it to the fullest. Even Mama posed for the camera. (Ugh! My face looks fat in pictures.) And after we eating we browsed around a toy store. And when I got tired I asked them if we could go home already coz I will be needing to wake up at 4 a.m. the next morning. Since I will be the one assigned to open up the doors of our office. Here are some pictures of us at Fazoli's.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I would like to give my deepest gratitude to my mom who have raised me and my siblings. She had taught us all that she knows. We all love her even if we don't show it that much. Right now, I am trying to spend as much quality time with her. I am for sure going to miss her when I go fly to be with my Pineapple and start a family of our own. Happy Mother's Day, Mama!

Also, I would like to extend my love to my future mother-in-law, Mama Vee. We have not met in person yet but through all the emails and some chats we have had, I have certainly fallen in love with her already. We both feel like we know each for so long now. I admire her strength and courage. She had battle A LOT and had gone through A LOT for her children. Happy Mother's Day, my Mama Vee!

And to all the mother's in the world...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!

Threats

Not with me directly...

At work, we had fired a trainee because he was so rude to some of our clients. We are a service-oriented company. We give free treatments even if our clients can be so demanding we should maintain patience and our humbleness. We do lose our tempers with them sometimes but we don't yell at them. We still maintain our professionalism. And so, it all started with that. After we had fired him. His mom, whom they both deny they are related in any way & is one of our client here, called and was furious as to why we had fired his "neighbor". And she pretends to be someone else and kept on calling our office saying things like "she is the wife of this vice mayor". This happened a month or two ago. Fast forward to the present. The mother came and visited our office again to get a treatment. And we have a new trainee. As he was doing his practice lecture, she was being rude and interrupting him. And she even told him to go back to high school since he doesn't know what he is talking about. So after that, that so-called client hinted to our janitress that we will find our head of staff laying on the ground & bloody. So after hearing that, our janitress nervously went to our head of staff and told her what our client said. So our head of staff called an emergency number and asked for advice as to what we can do with this verbal threat. They advised her to call the cops and file a complaint. So she did that. And we thought all was settled already. That afternoon, the trainee we fired called and asked why we did that to his MOM. And was furious. Today, the mother and son called and talked to one of the staff. Asking for the head of staff's surname coz they said they will file a complaint on her. Later on in the morning, the client called and was pretending to be an attorney. I recognize her voice since I have spoken to her on the phone quite a lot before. My boss said just hang up on her. And if they call again to just hang up. The son called after that pretending to be the assistant of the attorney. I hang up again. And when he called back my co-worker answered asking who was the one who hang up on him. My co-worker said it was the son who called asking for that info. He had texted another staff saying mean things and giving threats that we should be careful coz we don't know who he really is and what he can do. We had saved that text and will be used as evidence against them if they try to do something.

My goodness, drama!!! I can't handle this much drama...
