Hangover

November 05, 2007 not because i was bingeing on alcohol again. to be quite honest, i never had a drop of alcohol in my body during the last week.

this is due to 9 non stressful days -- that is if you don't count the night when my mom found out someone stole alot of her jewelry, but more on that later. For the past 9 days, I got to sleep till i had to eat lunch, finish 3 books (that's really not much, i could read more but i was too lazy so i read really really slowly), learn how to bake, danced my ass off (c/o Fitness First's Retro Jive Class), did yoga, used the PC just to play games (no blogging, just lurking around the world wide web), sleep some more, and eat some more too, then sleep again. i didn't even watch alot of TV, which is highly unlike me. but this is mostly because my sisters or cousin is playing PS and I'm too lazy to drag myself to the other room (yes, we still share one room). and besides, there's nothing good to watch.

anyway, days into the hiatus, peace was broken. i remember stepping out of the shower, hearing my mom talking non-stop on the phone about something missing. moments later, she broke the news, a lot of her jewelries, and some of mine (from when i was a child since i don't really wear jewelry) went missing. the good news is that not everything was taken. the bad news is that not everything was taken -- this can only mean that someone from the house took it. coz if we were really robbed, then they would've taken the whole bag. (you might be thinking, doesn't my mom have a locked safe to keep all this? my thoughts exactly)

my mom's prime suspect is a house help who recently left us. apparently, this was not the first time something went missing. before, my dad would lose 500 bux in almost a daily basis. (i can't even get 10s without asking them!) so again, why didn't they get a safebox for the important documents and jewelries, i really don't know. and no one really gets to go inside their room besides family and our ex-house help whenever she cleans the room.

a police report has been filed. i told my mom to check if they can still get finger prints from the bag, just so we'll have more proof. she says she only wants them to be returned, should someone admit to the crime. she doesn't really want anyone to go to jail for it, but our ex-househelp's so near to getting locked up if she can't prove that she didn't take it. the damage still is worth thousands of pesos.

i have another suspect though, but i don't know. too early to tell. i need that fingerprint. there are too many issues surrounding that person, i don't want to cause tension when i shouldn't have to.

anyway, the case is still unsolved. i'll have to do another post when the results come out.

spent the halloween baking till 2am so we'll have baon for the long trip the next day. nov 1 itinerary was to go to 2 cemeteries and go back home before 10pm (my mom don't want our new house help left alone for more than a day. paranoia is at its worst for my mom that week. kahit naman ata sino.)

went to Alfonso first, ate andoks chicken during the record breaking fastest lunch by a family of 5 plus two. stayed there for a few hours, prayed for my lolo. then off we went to Naic. eventhough the 2 provinces fall under the same area code, i felt like i traveled to another end of the country.

If in Alfonso there were just a few of us, in Naic, our "house" at the cemetery was jampacked. There were 4 cute babies, a dozen crazy toddlers and kids, and a couple of dozen more adults. it was like a reunion everyday there.

anyway, it was but a short trip. we went home shortly after eating dinner. then i was back to my sleeping-eating-baking-staring-at-the-wall self. which i carried to the office today, causing a non productive day, except maybe sending some emails and managing print placement, my day was a blur. my head is aching because i've been forcing it to restart the whole day today. and I'm nauseous from all the processed air and fumes of the city streets. in short, a hangover.

gawd i hope this wears off tonight. i can't afford to be nonproductive tomorrow. i have deadlines. XP

welcome back, kid.
