Needed to write something

I have not posted ANYTHING for like the past 10 days... just realizing it now because I have not been electronically capable for the past 10 days due to the many things that has been happening during those days.

For most, I had my family reunion to go too. It was so much fun! All the gathering of family members that you know and you hardly know. It's a amazing how one side of the family is gigantic! There are people who I never knew that they were family but been friends with. Just comes to show how the blood ties within us is somehow connected even in the smallest way. The farthest people who attended the reunion is from Philippines and Japan. Man.. was it really surprising to even see them! I was able to grab the oppourtunity to just talk to them and see them. For the 3 days that the reunion was running for, the first day was the Meet&Mingle: that day was for whoever can come and just greet each other and see each other with food, drinks and everything. The second day was the Gala Night where the whole family gathers in one hall and party it out! I got a couple of my friends to attend too and I think they had fun... from what I saw at least. The last day was the Family Picnic: we went to CenterIsland and had a BBQ Picnic. It was really great! All the attractions, open space, water... just everything! It was a great day too weather wise I mean and it is very very amazing! I enjoyed every single moment of it! It is truly amazing to what reunions can bring. I don't have any pictures to post here but in Facebook, there is a lot. Feel free to browse through... I think it should be accessible.

What else can I say... Oh yes! Recently... I got promoted to Head Supervisor. Yes, it is official, I am a Supervisor in my work. It was quite a shocker since I was told the day of when my shift started. The only thing though is that I am in another unit. I don't work at that funnel place anymore... I work at a cookie place. Its crazy and entertaining! So many things to do... I really enjoy the unit and the staff is great! I sure miss my other staff though... I really do but I know that they will always be the awesome people that I know who I got to know in the unit.

Summer school is almost over. Wednesday is the last day and the final exam for the summer school course. I have to say that I have not enjoyed it. For one... its science and I have a very difficult time with science and I mean just any science. I find it really hard to understand it. Especially this science... I felt that it had like an anthropological theme to it and hold and behold, I am not good with plain facts at all that is thrown at you and you are expected to remember such and such. It's almost over now and I am just really aiming to pass this course and get the credit. I do not really care how much it affects my GPA because I did my best and if the result is what it is doing my best then so be it and let me have it. I can only do so much for something that is very challenging in the first place. I did everything that I could and that is what I can only do. =/ So I hope to GOD that I will pass this course and grab the credit needed.

Lately I have been feeling really down since I haven't gotten the time to spend with Graham. I realized that I haven't spent full quality time together for the past 2 weeks or so. I mean... yeah I was busy but I was hoping I could spend time but it just so happens that every time I am free, he is not and vise versa. He is going somewhere, he is doing something... we are just in two opposite ends that cannot get together any way possible. I really want to spend time with him and get that feeling back. I truly miss him and I really wish I can be with him right now.

I've had a lot of mixed emotions and I am slowly eliminating the sort of unnecessary ones and sorting them out. I am a little emotional lately for whatever reason but its cause of the many things that has been happening. I am just trying to get by and enjoy as much as I can to whatever I can do. As for now... I will be me and I will live on.

Lists of things to do:
1. I still need to see Melissa for a get-together meet up. I haven't seen her in such a long time that I need to see her with my own EYES.
2. I have to go out on date with Graham. Just need to spend A LOT of time with each other.
3. Need to get my sleeping pattern right... I keep waking up the same time no matter how late I sleep
4. Restudy Japanese. I sort of lost how to compose a sentence but I can still label things and understand conversation here and there.
5. Just enjoy myself

57% Dead

Juggling work, school and the reunion is really getting a gigantic toll on me. I am hardly sleeping or eating right because of the many different things that I have to do in order to keep up with everything that has to deal with due dates and that is practically everything right now.

I am grateful that I got a week off from work in order to get the other two things done but so far... every little inch that I do seems to make the outcome more farther than closer. Work being placed aside for the week is actually quite helpful but I am already stressing out and today is just the first day of my scheduled vacation.

School is definitely a contribution of my anxiety and loss of mental strength. I have an essay that is due on Monday and I have been looking through journals and reading the course kit multiple times and I cannot sum up anything that will help me even start or think about the essay. I have actually researched my topic but so far, it is not the one that I am looking for. I just got to keep on reading I suppose and hope to goodness gracious that something in my wonderful mentally drained brain will regurgitate something of use that will contribute on my essay. Did I mention it was due THIS Monday!? O_o

On top of school... I have the reunion to shovel with. The reunion is very important to the family and especially my mother since we are the family that is hosting the event here and majority of our relatives are going to be there. I mean, we are talking about the whole family tree here. It is a gigantic event that will create memories that will last a life time! It is so crazy right now with all the preparations, food, decorations, program events and all that jazz... I am talking about a full blown jam packed event here! So far, I have been in charge with the construction of many different things like the banner, things to deal with computer and tinkering with ideas in order to get the job done. I am like my own tech committee and I am the "go-to" person when something does not seem fit or need advice on. It hurts my head a little but opinions matter when it deals with reunion like these. My reunion starts this Friday and lasts about 2 or 3 days... I do not remember. That is how dead I am.

So recap... I have an essay due on Monday that I am slowly but surely going to get done somehow and at the same time I have a family reunion planning and the actual event will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. How many days does that give me?? Not a lot when I looked at the calendar. Argh! The many different directions I am being lead too is really mind boggling and it does hurt very much. I am still jumbling both things because both are really important and I do not want to mess up on either of them.

On the good note... I have been playing a lot of DDR lately and I have to say, it relieves my stress quite a lot and at the same time enjoy it to the fullest! Haha! I think I should keep on researching now. It is a late right now but what can I do; it is the only time I can research. >_< Also... I think I might have to change my phone. Options given to me is the iPhone or Blackberry. Any suggestions?

Summer is here....

Summer has just started and I am already in a deep pickle because of how my body reacts to the weather that mother nature is so happily giving.

Due to the intense heat waves... I have been getting these nosebleeds that seem to take a long time to stop and at the same time, I am skeptical to even just move about because every movement I make can help contribute my body system. I mean... ever since I was a kid, I always had nose bleeds every time the weather changes drastically hot or cold but it was never this bad.

On Friday evening, my nose bled for about an hour roughly. On Saturday, my nose bled for about 30-40 minutes which caused me to feel light headed and nausea (I'm guessing both accounts caused it) and yesterday, I got a nose bleed while I was in a swimming pool. Luckily, it stopped right away so I'm grateful for that. Felt bad since I wanted to cool off in a nice pool but instead THAT happened.

So far, everything in this summer isn't going great for me. I've been bleeding and feeling weak and just plainly trying my best to cool down my body system so it won't go haywire.

Maybe I should go to a doctor to check it out. *sigh*

Addicted to the song

I'm currently addicted to the song by Drake - Find Your Love (It is currently the song playing)

I have no idea why but it just hits me in the heart every time I hear it. Every time it plays, I have to listen to it.

I am currently recovering from what happened. I won't say anything and there is nothing that I think I should post here as of now so I will leave it like this for now.

I should just take it easy... I have to remind myself every time.

Analysis

I took into consideration on what is happening to me lately. I have come to a conclusion that I am over stressed and over worked.

Reason being is because I have work and school at the same time. School is about to be over soon but I have the pressure on me that I might fail. I do not want to fail so I am pushing myself really hard to pass the course. On top of that, I have work... I know there are people who are able to juggle work and school at the same time. I think the reason why they are able to juggle it properly is because they do not work a ridiculous amount of hours that I do. I am not being full of myself but it is true. I asked my friends who are working how long they work for. They sometimes work a good amount of hours and I ask them what they do and I guess its the "doing" part that they are set apart from my job. I sometimes envy my friends who work their jobs but its alright I suppose. Its in the job description so its anticipated >_<

Also, school is another factor. I'm always hitting deadlines that are so close that I might become brain dead. Even though I start ahead, its still not enough to finish because of the many activities that is happening and that is about to happen when hitting mid-summer... for sure that is when everything starts happening.

Other than that... I'll just have to dig my way through. I really want to spend time with my family, friends and even my boyfriend. The analysis chart is really true... I do not spend enough time with my friends but what to do... its only temporary.

I guess thats it for now. I'll find something that will excite me. At the moment... leaving in a mellow note.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY KUYA JAP!
