Things at the new apartment is getting satisfactory to me. My landlady has now stopped treating me like I’m her bff. I also told her that I’m a bit of anti-social because I’d rather keep to myself and do not engage in gossip, so she started distancing from me. We still talk, and it’s more pleasant now than before. Like I said, it was the impression that she got from how she sees my daughter and me at school (I’m always in my office clothes) that made her think differently of me. But when she started seeing the “domesticated” me, she probably now understands.We met at the wet market today and we shopped for food together.

The neighbors are usual neighbors, they like to talk and gossip about the other neighbor. I’m not really comfortable with gossip.

My internet connection is still down because of my own fault. I failed to notify Smartbro that I again relocated. It will be back up by next week.

My children are more comfortable with the new apartment, my daughter found playmates. My son still has the same dilemma, no other teenagers to befriend, he’s new to the block of course. We will still strive hard for him to learn to adjust. These are just one of those things that makes him hard to forget about the past, the effects of being in a broken family. He needs a life that’s constant and steadfast.

Although I’m cool about having no internet connection at this time, I’m really going through some sort of a remission.  I’m tempted to check my emails and blog.

Another fascinating experience…Kaye of WAHMaholic reviewed my blog and it’s really interesting to learn more about myself – I need a New Year’s resolution, wahaha! I don’t really like to mince words, and I’m not so much into Hollywood statements.

Having to go to an internet cafe have its perks, I found the New Moon movie and downloaded it to my USB, we’ve watched the forsaken movie since last night and a repeated performance this morning (for breakfast).

I should be back online next week.

So finally, I’ve not yet totally moved to the new apartment, but almost there, just some stuff and some more cleaning. My smartbro is not working yet, I still have to go to them for it.

To those that I have commitments, please do send me an email here workinghomebase @ gmail.com

Thanks!

So, I know I have to apologize and ask for God’s forgiveness for my being judge mental. All through-out this week I was thinking about my new landlady as money hungry. It turns out, that her grand child is a school mate of my daughter, and she sees how my daughter acts in school, probably has heard a lot from my daughter too. Because she knows that we often go to the mall, we often watch movies, we often eat at fast foods and restaurants and we often buy the things we need. Thus the pre-conceived idea of me having lots of money. Can I say how I wish?

Quite frankly, I never thought about the chance of her knowing me, and since my landlady assumed that I know her too. Hmmm…why didn’t she just tell me beforehand? Now, she’s thinking that since my ex is an OFW, I rake a lot of money! Any who, whatever it may be, of course I do spend money, but not that lavishly, because I know how to spare. Plus it’s not everyday that I spend money on movies.

Ugh!

Slowly moving to the other apartment.

Despite the obvious fact that the owner is money hungry (aren’t we all are?), I still want to transfer to that place. They can be annoying most of the time, but I know where to stand my ground.

I just transferred my washer and my pic-nic table this morning, I still have a lot, they’re heavy. I’m just waiting for blessings to come in so I can hire a mover. I’m also going to have a new dresser, because the other lady sold it to me, since I need it, I took the offer.

I just feel drained today. Lack of sleep. I still need Smartbro to transfer my antenna.

When my son was younger, he asked me and his father if we could buy him a soccer ball. He saw this from one of the television commercials for a sports drink. He liked the action, and being a boy, his inclination is in sports. At the time, since we live on a place with limited space, we thought about purchasing an inflatable football goal that he and his friends can play with. To my son, the advantage of having our own portable football goal is that we can bring it wherever he and his friends agree to meet. It would be exciting to watch them play and have fun, and the bonding that they share. Parents like me won’t have to worry either because, one of us can rent a place where we can bring our portable football goals and have the kids play soccer to their heart’s content and give us parents some time to get some cold drink and relax nearby.
