Tired Constantly


 I'm drained, like a battery.
Physically tired from a day's work,
Oh, I don't mean an office work,
I'm a stay-at-home mom :)
But, I did a bit of juggling.

Mentally tired from fixing codes on this blog,
I'm having a hard time when errors showed up.
I may had finished a course in programming,
But, boy it was kept in a tavern, long time ago. 
So, expect it to be no updates, unused and rusty.

Researching through the use of Internet 
and reading online materials
has kept me going. It's exhausting and stressful in applying
what you learn. But, when an error showed up, I don't know what to do anymore.

Obviously, I'm done with the two parts,
now only one left and it's easy.
Somehow, all the stress, 
headaches and tiredness went to my arms.
It seems I am using my arms in carrying big trunks.
My heart palpitates and my eyes are drooping.
It is not emotional tiredness, isn't it?

(Laughs)

I am writing this after a successful fix.
Yes! I had tired eyes and tired arms.
But, it's really worth it.

Now, I'll take a nap and be back soon!

How I Utilize My Time Without Internet

Sunday morning, the internet was not available. Now, is the 4th day and counting of no internet connection. We had PLDT line who has no connection while Globe and Smart have the internet. These are the only three giants in our area of location, anyway. Lately, we had thunderstorms and I think PLDT facilities are sensitive. Every time the thunder claps, the internet becomes giddy. I pity those students who want to work on their projects through research/the internet, anyway.

Since, I can't do anything online, I thought of utilizing my time like these:

1. Writing articles - Any topics that pop into my mind. Then read and rewrite it again. When the internet is up, it only takes a few minutes to check grammar/spelling before publishing it.

2. Coding -  The basic HTML codes. This is the time in which I can focus on the errors. I had a lot of distractions when the internet is up. So, this is the best time for me.  

3. House chores - I've always washed our clothes. But, cleaning our room and electric fans from specks of dust and cobwebs is a task every week. Now, it's an everyday chore.

4. Cleaning and arranging the plants - I can only do this whenever I have time. It's only a small area on the front lawn. Rake those dead leaves, then place it in the hole and put some soil over it. It's good as fertilizers in time.

There are lots of things to do, actually. You can cook with your kids, play with them, swimming and more.  Do whatever is available. The most important is you spend time with your family.

Friends To Thank For

I made a conversation with friend A. After knowing that I blog and lived in an internet shop. She told me, "If I were you, I will make a career in blogging, since you lived in an internet shop". I told her, that I'm inactive and I don't think I can handle both worlds - blogging, motherhood and a wife.

Then, another Friend J had sent me a message through Facebook. She told me that, "Sis, nagblog ka pala?". Again, I replied with the same reason.  I'm inactive and I can't handle both worlds. She told me why don't you blog again, then apply for a certain affiliation. Perhaps, this will help you. But what about my post, I had only one this month, I told her. Don't worry, you'll be having a lot of posts, when your approve, she answered. Well, I did apply for that affiliation, but I was denied. Indeed, Friend J kept on asking about my application. When, I told her that I was denied, she told me to buy a domain name. Since, I have only cents in my PayPal, she supported me.

I have no choice and it would be a shame not to.

I would like to thank these two beautiful ladies for letting me pick up the pieces that I've left behind in writing.
