so

they DID find something that explains the infernal headaches and the current maternal weirdness.
there was some unnatural growth, just as i expected. but, (like i also expected) it is nothing i should be worried about as the growth is only a few centimeters small and does not need any surgical attention at the moment. the doc prescribed me some meds to take to keep the migraines at bay. the only thing that bothers me though is that it is so freaking expensive that each tablet costs over a P100. darn it. does that mean no more beauty pampering for me?!

grr... after dragging my feet to the drugstore i figured i really DON"T want to spend on overpriced meds... i kind of thought that well, it's the growth that's acting like a natural birth-control anyway! unfortunately, my s.o. didn't quite see it the way i did... he almost whacked me on the side of my head for even considering such a thought... he's decided to shell out on all my maintenance meds while i get to keep my pampering money. (yey for spoiled, vain me!)

and oh... i didn't get to mention that i've started to apply for a teaching position in other schools while my plan to go study abroad is in sudden limbo... so far, i've already been to 2 interviews and another one on monday, which makes it to a total of 3. :) hehe: not a bad stat, considering the fact that i thought that everyone has freeze hired due to the economic slump... and to think that i just email blasted my resumè just last weekend? really: not bad at all...

been out and around

december: went to singapore with the whole family for the holidays and confirmed a fact that's been nagging me all this time... we will never be able to stand being together and moving as a sigle unit if it's going to last more than 2 days. unfortunately, the trip dragged on to 7. thank gawd for the wonders of ipod where you can just shut everyone out. and you gotta love singapore! it's such a tourist friendly place, you can step out of the hotel and just as confidently arm yourself with a map: it's IMPOSSIBLE to get lost.

january: well, after dancing around the whole shinanigan, i've finally been confronted by my immediate boss and she's asking for me to stay on for another year... at least until they find a replacement daw. i told her that the reason why i gave my resignation letter early on in december is that i was being considerate of the department and of the hr and was actually giving them a heads up in looking for another teacher to fill the position! *argh!* now i feel a little unsure if i should leave or stay pa because i don't have a stable back- up plan yet! argh! and i think she can see it written all over my face! ungh... she's trying to 'threaten' me with a phonecall from dr.tan... grrr!
in other words, i had to fix my nonchalance and arm myself with a back-up plan so i'll be more decisive the next time t.avic talks with me.. i just email blasted my resumès today at random to some prospective schools... not that i'm expecting anyone to reply... pero kung meron, edi masaya! :)

mom and i are also thinking of making some arrangements so we can finally head for the embassy to renew my passport... i'm keeping my fingers crossed for that one. :) yey for obama and the promised land! i set my alarm just so i could watch the inauguration simultaneously with the rest of the world... this, after a long day of chasing and dragging my kids around three sites for our field trip... i cried and laughed at the same time. what a great and 'interesting' time we live in. ;) amazing.

ok... so, i just noticed that it's almost 2am... hehehe! better hit the sack soon: i have my mri scheduled for later this pm... yes, yes: i finally got around it and finally scheduled the appointment. to the relief of my doctor! holler: 6 years in the making; she called me in for an mri instead of the originally planned ct scan. hehehe! oh well! cè la vie! i'm also scheduled for a prolactin check... hay! hope they find something so i can finally put everything to rest!
