What a week! It was full of love, blessings, and errands. Work was pretty slow all week, which I felt was a blessing because it allowed me to do the things I needed to do. I cleared out most of the paperwork in my drawers, and shredded overdue retentions. I also did check-backs, and submitted this week's reports. Outside of work, I was able to attain my fingerprints, notary, and drug test. I got my phone orientation done, and shipped the necessary documents! Now, I just have to wait and wait and wait.
My birthday was great! :) The night before, my sister-in-law cooked my favorite-type spaghetti, and Mike bought Wingstop. It was so good! On the actual day, my co-workers brought food for the celebration. We had: salad, pancit, vegetable lumpia with spicy vinegar (fave!), pizza, cupcakes, and strawberry-dipped chocolate. The office smelled like food by lunch time, heheh. I was so grateful. <3 When I got home, my brother and sister-in-law brought me a Hello Kitty cake. It was so cute and delicious (red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting)! :) My mom bought me strawberry shortcake ice cream cake from Coldstone, and my other brother cooked afritada and some more pancit. YUMMY!! I blew out my candles before Mike and I left for San Francisco. We watched Beauty and the Beast, the Musical at the Golden Gate Theater. It was so funny! What a way to celebrate my day, eh? It's gonna be a good year! Woohoo, good vibes!
That same day, I turned in my resignation letter., which was a difficult task... >,<

Productive Out
Santa Cruz with the family was super fun! :) We left early in the morning to embark the almost two-hour drive to the beach. We got there pretty early, so we had rock star parking and spot on the beach. It didn't take long for the sun to come out and start kissing my skin. I love brown skin! When the sun started striking instead of kissing, we started rinsing off and packing up. Then... the boardwalk! I finally had my long-awaited deep fried Oreos -- so delicious! I'm dying to go back already! :D
I woke up this morning (or Monday) with a fat headache, so I called my manager. I knocked out soon after getting off the phone, but woke up in time to send off my nephews and niece for their first day of school. Today was Kyla's first day of kindergarten! Oh my.. college soon! Haha. Since I wasn't going to work, I decided that I should at least make it a productive day. I ate a slice of toast for the sake of taking pain reliever pills then started getting ready. I attended Kyla's orientation then had lunch with the family. Afterwards, I finally went to DMV to get my driver's license renewed, and to the SSA office to verify all information associated with my SSN. I have to go back. -__- I also got a quick pedicure because my sister-in-law forced me too. I honestly felt like I was robbed $20. BOO!!
Needless to say, not going to work is pretty darn expensive. UGH!
p.s. I have sooo much paperwork and tests to take for this "next step" thing. Wish me luck, please! :) Prayers are highly encouraged. Thank you.

On My "Chezt"
I have to renew my license before this Thursday since it expires that day, my birthday! This past week was pretty good to me. The family celebrated my brother's 35th birthday. Yes, we've got quite an age gap, hehe. Though I wasn't able to swim with the family due to work, I was able to drive myself to the resort in time for dinner. Cheers to my brother and a better life ahead of him. :)
Also, I interviewed for a position at a different company. I'd like to say that the interview went a lot better that I initially thought it did. I guess I'll speak more on this as I get more information and call-backs. I just don't want to jinx anything.
After countless of canceling and rescheduling, Mike and I were finally able to meet with Brandon Lohmann of the Sacramento Kings marketing department. We were given a "backstage" tour of Arco Arena and all that. We're thinking about buying (quarter) season tickets, but we'll see. It's pretty pricey, and we have to decide on just the right package. Dun dun dun.
Finally, to finish off the week, I went to the series opener of the Giants vs Padres game with my dad and boyfriend. Our seats were fantastic, and the night was just a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we lost. No sweeps, no first place in the NL West this weekend. Luckily, we won today. Posey and Uribe came through in the 11th inning. ::happy dance:: I'm hoping Lincecum will come with his stuff during Sunday's game. Oh, and because I get so obsessed about watching sports in the ballpark -- I bought another set of tickets for a game in less than two weeks. Heheh.
Tomorrow (err, I guess later on today), my family is going to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It's sort of a summer-ender since the kids start school on Monday. My niece/God-daughter is going to kindergarten! It's so exciting. The boys will be in 2nd and 8th grade. They're all growing up so fast. ::sigh:: <3

Happy birthday, Tatay!
Today is his birthday.
Though he is with the amazing Lord, I know he watches over us all the time just like when he was still here. I MISS HIM! I regret having been a brat to him. He cared for me so much, and loved me unconditionally. He was the only grandfather I ever knew, and I couldn't have asked for a greater one. He believed in me, and watched me practice my "news reports." He always bought my Play-Doh pizzas, and complimented my cooking. He would call me "Doctor" as I massaged his legs, and gave me a dollar if I put in extra effort. Everytime I left, he would tell me to come back for him. :)
He spent the remainder of his aging years with the rest of my mom's family in the Philippines. He wanted to be physically close to his only brother. During his last few hours, all he wanted was for my family to be by his side. Unfortunately, we were halfway across the world, and arrived too late. :'( Nonetheless, he gave us a sign of peace and understanding. That was just the man he was, and I hope to be the kind of woman he had hoped for me to be.
I'm sorry. I have to stop right here. Tears are flowing unstoppable.
I love you and I miss you dearly, Tatay. <3
You will always be my number one fan.
