yup! i laughed the first time i heard it. and i heard it first from Jon Burnett, kdka's meteorologist, while giving the forecast for thursday, friday's eve. =)
i went to my doctor yesterday for a follow-up check. i was there a month ago due to high blood pressure, and was given a prescription for norvasc. unfortunately, my bp was still high so i was told to double my intake, and gave me a new prescription for a stronger dosage. i was also given a prescription for a muscle relaxant as i complained of neck pain, that causes a tingling feeling on my hands (and/or legs), which is caused, according to my doctor, by tension! ooohkay... a lot of stuff contributing to that tension but i'm not putting them here...
one thing i can put here though, that causes my tension, is big brother 8. tonight's episode was the most brutal (but exciting)! it was bb fast-forward meaning, two weeks worth of shows compressed in one - live! yeah! eviction. hoh comp. nomination. pov comp. eviction. so in that order it was - Jess. Dick (yes!). Eric & Jameka. Zach. Eric. i'm sooo happy Jess & Eric are gone, and relieved Dick won HoH!!! but i can't discuss it anymore. i'm drained by all the excitement, and i've already said it all at bb8 dish, the best bb8 website of all! booyah!
g'night, people.

not really...
last night, as i was going to bed, i checked on my son again. i was surprised to see him sitting up in bed because we already said our goodnites half an hour ago.
his first day in school didn't really go as smoothly as i thought... he was frustrated with himself, for letting other kids bother him. my son's issues has everything to do with his inadequate social skills plus the fact that there are indeed bullies in school. i always tell him that he cannot let these kids bother him, to walk away when they try to start something, and report them to someone of authority. the school is very good in dealing with bullies, and educating kids about it.
my son knows all these but being a young teenager, he cannot help but be affected by it. his inadequate social skills also makes him question some kids' real intentions as he already got burned in the past. as a mother, i cannot help but be hurt and frustrated by it. a parent can only do so much for their child. and there are battles that you cannot fight for them, but still, these things hurt knowing how much it is affecting your child.
i told him he always has choices. the choice to let these kids affect him or the choice to stay focus, and do well in school to achieve his goals. i also reminded him that he has a support team who is always there for him. it's a good thing he has a session with his therapist next monday so i told him to discuss his apprehensions with him, and find ways to better handle his frustrations, stress, and trust issues.
after everything is said and done, i can only hope and pray.

first day of school... hello and g'night... again.
yay! seems like a good first day for my son... whew... i hope it continues...
we had fun organizing his things just a while back. he told me they don't have to take home any books, thank G*d, and they won't have a lot of homeworks, too. i think it would be mostly papers and reports, which frustrates him the most, not because he's not good at it but because he is such a perfectionist.
was very crabby this morning... my wireless usb adapter was not working properly, going on and off, and not getting any signal. it was actually my son's. he's been having problems with it so we switch adapters. i was able to make it work yesterday after tinkering with it but not this morning... grrr... i had to use my son's computer to check my emails. i tried to uninstall so i can re-install but it won't let me. an error window kept popping up and i don't understand what it was. so i tinkered some more, still won't work, got frustrated, got up and had dinner. after cleaning up, i tinkered with it again, and voila! here i am with the adapter working. =) hubby said not to turn off the computer anymore, just the monitor, until we find a replacement or solution to the problem.
so that's what i'll do... g'night, people!

labor day; golf; tennis; big brother 8 - part2
still labor day...
tiger didn't win... came in tied for 2nd place, and guess what? phil michelson won. but tiger is one spot up in the fedex cup points standing. unfortunately, phil is now first... uggghhh...
james blake lost to tommy haas in a 5th set tiebreaker. he had several matchpoints but failed to convert any of them. he came up short again... uggghhh...
the seed was planted by Dick but Jess is doubting it big time. my hope is, she would continue to listen to Eric, as she always does, and Dick keeps his mouth shut for once, and the plan goes without any more hitches... oh, Dick...
dinnertime.

labor day; golf; tennis; big brother 8
happy labor day! ...and tomorrow is the first day of school... =(
the tv is on and it's on the us open with blake playing against haas. i like james blake a lot. he's such a cool guy, and a good tennis player. but i love roger federer. since andre retired, all my affections are now with roger. =)
i'm not watching the deutsche bank golf championship but i have the live feed on my computer. my tiger is not playing well... i'm ok with that as long as phil michelson, who is leading, does not win.
it's crazy in the big brother house right now. dick and dani (with zach) are planning a huge move to shake things up. i hope it works out as planned and not backfire on them. i really want father and daughter to be in the final two. but with big brother, everything is possible. as they say, expect the unexpected.
we'll see.

2nd of september; US Open; Deutsche Bank (FedEx Cup playoffs)
uneventful sunday. nothing spectacular. nothing extraordinary. just another sunday.
watched US Open tennis. i'm quite bummed about it since maria sharapova lost yesterday. she was totally out of her element even though she won the 2nd set at 6-1. the wind bothered her, Radwanska staying inside the line for her service also bothered her. it's a shame since she's the defending champion. oh well... there's still federer...
i also watched the Deutsche Bank Championship, the 2nd leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Tiger was playing really well until the bogey on the 17th and a missed birdie opportunity on the 18th. that would have put him in 3rd place going into the final round tomorrow. he's 3 shots off the lead. i hope he continues to play well and win this one.

the 1st of september; hello & goodnight...
how time flies... as we say in the Philippines, we're now in the "ber" month, which means Christmas and the new year are just around the corner.
it was a late morning for me. i didn't get out of bed until 11am. that was because i didn't fall asleep until after 2am... that was the third night in a row i fell asleep that late. maybe because my mind was on overdrive for things bb8 and the wso released by amy and drC.
my son was preparing his own breakfast when i got up. said he was very hungry... after brunch, and after cleaning up, i went to the post office to mail (again) our payment for our electric bill. hubby mailed it the day before but i forgot to put postage on it, and he didn't notice either so it was returned... =(
from the post office, i passed by the library to pick up the castaway dvd borrowed by my son. i then decided to have a haircut. i went really short with it, and as always, wasn't too happy with the result when i got home. i will most likely go back next week, and have it "tweaked".
i've been sitting in front of my computer since early afternoon. got up only to prepare and have dinner. been here since... i finally saw the wso - both the report and the video and will look at(study) it more tomorrow. what's good about it is the availability of a live coach whom you can contact anytime and on an unlimited basis. i hope that really works because i want to earn something on my own, and be able to help hubby. i really need to manage my time well, and not get sidetracked... we'll see...
