Living Mye Life

I’m back at work and I just wish I can have few more days to rest.  My head still hurts and my eyes unfocused.  I promise I will not open my pc at night to rest my eyes. 

I have some cute and funny moments with our pet dog Chase during the times that I was sick.  My mother in law said that Chase just stays in our room and don’t even eat his food or bark at all.  I remember last Sunday when I have fever, I saw him sleeping beside me and we even shared the same pillow. My hubby said that he was like that the whole day. When I ate at the bed because I am too weak to go down, he will just sit beside the bed table and watched over me.  So when he goes down to pee, my MIL blocked the stairs with boxes so he can’t go up so he eat his foods, but he becomes agitated, barks at them and keeps on moaning while trying his way up again.  All the times that I was sleeping, he also sleeps beside me, sometimes putting his head on my feet or playing with the socks I'm wearing.  

They are worried that he’ll get sick too by not eating so I decided to go down and eat dinner at the dining table.  He went down with me and to their amazement, when Chase saw that I’m putting some soup in the bowl, he approached his dog bowl and chows all his foods while he keeps on glancing at me.  By the time I sit on the chair, he already finished his foods and he jumps on the empty chair beside me and watched me eat.

I was so touched on how he behaves that day.  Sometimes we wonder if he can really sense that I am sick.  And he’s helping me in his very own unique way.  We knew how sweet Chase is and he does things that made you think that he’s a human reincarnated. But I am so grateful that he accompanied me during the times that I am hurting.  What a wonder dog =)

Hubby came home last night looking grumpy and when I asked what’s wrong with the face, he only said that he’s hungry.  But I knew him, there must be a reason.  So after we ate dinner, I made some coffee for both of us and told him to come to our room.  He sat on the sofa and I settled on our bed. 

I knew it, he was torn on some important decisions on his career.  We talked about it and advised him on what to do and what to expect.  Most of all, I gave him all the courage I have with me so he can continue to work for the common good (sounds like Dumbledore in Harry Potter, hehe).  I know being in the corporate world is one hell of a tough job, it will never be easy.  And when he seems discourage with the way things are going in there, I gave him hope and will to work as hard as he did before.  When there will come a time that all was done and was left with no choice, then it’s time to change the course of his path.  

I told him not to let the problems get in his way.  He show the most amazing leadership and his people respect him for that.  We can’t please everybody and not all can understand you fully well.  When all the people around seems to disappoint you and realized you are caught in the middle of the two opposite minds, just think of how your perseverance helped you to get there. There will always be a silver linings guiding you through. 

This is my birthday week (yey!).  And since August 1, my friends and family keep on reminding me of my upcoming birthday and hubby keep on singing to me the happy birthday song.  I filed for a day vacation before my birthday leave and so surprised to know that Wednesday was declared as a special non-working holiday so the public can pay respect to the late ex-President Cory Aquino (RIP) who will be laid to rest that day.  So I will be having my 5-day vacation including weekends and it’s the first time this year! I hope that this will be a fulfilling week for me and a happy one, too!

We watched ‘The Proposal’ yesterday at Mall of Asia, if you are a hopeless romantic person (like me!) and wants to have some fun and laughter, this is a must see movie for you.  Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are perfect for their roles and their location in Sitka, Alaska is one of the best I’ve ever seen (though I read somewhere that it was actually filmed in Boston with some digitally enhanced views to look like Sitka, Alaska). But whatever,   I still love being there for once in my life.
