Am I Apathetic?

Oh my God!  I just realized that the feelings that I had before until recently, yung walang pakialam, e baka symptoms na yun na ako pala ay isang apathetic.

Apathetic -ap·a·thet·ic
ˌapəˈTHedik/
adjective
adjective: apathetic
showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm, or concern.

"apathetic slackers who don't vote"

synonyms:uninterested, indifferent, unconcerned, unmoved, uninvolved, disinterested, unemotional, emotionless, dispassionate, lukewarm, unmotivated, halfhearted;


Yan ang definition ayon sa internet.

Shucks! Akong ako yan. Yan ang nararamdaman ko. But come to think of it, that's how I feel when I am in the place where I felt I don't belong anymore. San to? Secret! Tsaka na when I've made the biggest decision in my life na.

Bakit I felt I don't belong na? My heart is not in it na. I want to do something else already not this thing that I currently do. Am I apathetic na ba? Or it's just that my focus is on another thing that I want to do ?

Help! Anyone  who feels the same way I do ? I need your response, kasi nakakatakot pala ang ganitong status. Walang pakialam......

Nabasa ko, baka sysmptoms din ito ng Bipolar Disorder. Hay nakakatakot! Help! Help!Help!

Our 2016 Chinese New Year at F1 Hotel

This post was a couple of weeks late coz I had'nt got the knack to blog coz I have lot of work in my hands. Anyway, we had a relaxing weekend last long weekend. We had an overnight stay in F1 Hotel from Feb. 7-8, we really chose these dates because of the holiday.  We actually got this when F1 Hotel had a sale last Nov. 27-29, 2015. I can't remember how much we paid because it was Papa A who paid it. We got the city suite.

Their reception area on the 5th floor is big and accommodating, makes you want to make tambay lang sa mga sofas. Staffs are very friendly and always greet you with a smile on their face. Elevator lang was kinda slow and small, that it only accommodates not more than 10 people, paano kung may trolley pang dala?


 
Reception Area


The city suite room was quite big, but I didn't like the layout. I am not used to beds where there's an empty space behind. Actually it's not empty, our head is towards the bathroom door, which made me uneasy. Diba ang headboard is supposed to be rested on the wall. Take a look for yourself.


Work area
Sala area and coffee area

View from Bathroom




They have a swimming pool, both for adults and kids. We did not try to swim coz the weather is cold, and my son has a cough and colds. The pool area was open, so fresh air was coming in unlike the pool area in Makati Diamond Residences (I have not blog about this yet have'nt I?) You can make tambay here also and order for drinks.

We used their gym facilities the next morning before having the breakfast buffet. The treadmill, stationery bikes, were equipped with tv monitors. Bring your headset with you and plug it to the output and you can watch your favorite tv programs in cable tv. They also have an ipod/iphone dock for your own music to listen to. I just hope they upgrade the dock so that they can accommodate iphone 6. The gym was small, but the treadmill is the only equipment that I need so no problem with me. Papa A was looking for more.

On the same floor where the gym is, there's a spa. We did not try it anymore as we were not in the mood to have a massage.

At 7:30 AM, a dragon dance was held at the lobby on the ground floor. We watched for a while then went straight to 3rd floor for our breakfast buffet.


To be honest, I loved the selection of their breakfast buffet. Sakto ang timpla, may variety, not too many, just enough to be able to taste a little bit of everything. Hindi yung super dami then you can't taste everything naman. Then manghihinayang ka because you were not able to taste everything, kahit pa konti konti.


Love their bacon, not too crispy, but not soggy. Sakto lang.

The first batch I got were scrambled eggs and lotsa bacon
Cheese, cold cuts and salads
Cereals
 
Various pastries, for refill pa.










Noodle soup

Eggs station
Champorado or Oatmeal?
Congee or Arozcaldo?

Love their selection of breads as well.

I tasted all, except for the cereals. We were satisfied with everything that we have experienced specially the breakfast. May isang kulang lang pala. There's no bath tub, e yun pa naman habol ng anak ko. Sana if it's suite na, the bathroom includes bath tub na.

O well, you can't have everything talaga. Basta overall we enjoyed it.

DIY Craft: Repurposed Wall Clock


I woke up 3:00 am this morning.  Ewan ko ba di ako makatulog. Madami akong naiisip gawin like updating my records, various crafts na naiisip ko, watching DVD, de-cluttering may desk here at home. Mag declutter na sana ako ng pedestal ko, when I saw this:


I know this was a gift to hubby from his officemate from his former office. It's a cutesie wall clock that used to hung in our bedroom. Kaso it fell down kaya na dismantle. Good thing the glass did not break.

So I thought of repurposing it to a wall decor kasi nasasayangan ako e, ang cute nung  maliliit na seashells on the side.

I just looked up a quotation from the internet, printed it, making sure that the size will fit into the frame. Trial and error sya so first print ko was too big, so from there, estimate na lang how much to re-size. I needed a glue gun to put back all the parts together and to seal the glass to the wood.

So when I finished I hung it on the wall beside my working desk. Eto sya:



Notice the seashells on its sides?




Cute diba? That's why I don't want to throw it away, sayang the design. O sige isip pako ng recylable things that I can find around our house. Till next craft.
