so september ends with the fortich apartment enjoying a brand new abs-cbn tvplus / mahiwagang black box. it’s refreshing to have that much fun from waltermart to their home after ara, mhae, and i participated in a battle of hot headedness not even a week ago. it incidentally led to mhae having a 2-day pizza and pasta birthday/monthsary celebration.
at work—in the office and at the site—things are getting a bit more fast-paced, a little stressful, but still getting better. i still have a bunch of submittals and rfi on my office desk, some uncertainties in the design and drawings, but i can see things will indeed close out in the best way soon.
ovetime time got better during the first half of the month but not maintained until the end. i hope the OT pay calculation will keep me in the plus zone when it comes to my target savings. oh, i meant ‘put’ since ‘keep’ implies i’m already there. haha.
apart from regular work stuff, i got a skill upgrade of sorts learning revit. and since i brought my spare pc to work, i got to tidy up my table even just a bit. quite a bit.
last weekend i also got the wonderful chance to attend sister emma’s prayer healing and it was a very uplifting experience for mhae and me. it helped make mhae’s birthday more special. also, after a couple of months, i got to go to confession. last year, i tried to go every month and quite achieved that. this year, i missed a lot of months. maybe i’ll target a bi-monthly “schedule” so as not to disappoint myself, too.
i got a bit sentimental in a good way realizing that around mid-month, my partnership with ryan (with our corresponding better halves, of course) in leading the 6:30 am service has already lasted a half year.
there was a sentimental loss, though, in one of my towelets—one that was thicker than most and with vines(?) as a design, mostly green. apparently, that was my lola’s. i think i lost it going to an afternoon music ministry meeting. at least i lost it during one of my tasks related to my service to the Church.
at home, i’m still hoping to be of more help. i have so many ideas in my head on how to improve my room’s and my parents’ room’s organization but i have yet to lay them out and make them real. i also hope my finances do get managed better that i may also be more helpful financially at least.
doing this end-of-the-month blogging thing, i realized that the year has gone 3 quarters. this isn’t a game of basketball that may go into overtime, though, and has a break between quarters. as in one of the messages in the film heneral luna, our greatest enemies are ourselves. and also quoting green day (not from wake me up when september ends), “i’m my own worst enemy.” i think i (the positive one) is winning, though. yeap. good job. keep it up or make it better.
