Sheila (Economist and Nurse), Lispeth (Economist) and Alma (Agriculturist/Lawyer to Be)

After 21 years, we are still kicking, laughing, joking and having glorious fun with “green jokes” our sort of topic that really tingle our ears and we laugh to our might. In the late 80’s to early 90’s, the 16-year old entered into the University, and many have chosen to study Agriculture, that includes me. Higher year’s students welcome the new comers in and instantly developed the bond of friendships students-teachers-department dean. We were too close. There were no groups of North Pole and South Pole. In short no polarization, we are one. The friendships that we could never imagine it exist in the University life. We are in fact the talk of the campus. We are unique in a sense. “Bulingit” is the name. But that kinds of camaraderie have slowly diminished in the mid-90’s as the new generations have also acquired the sense of independence, communications and electronics gadget have flourished and stole the essence of simplicity, the “lifestyle” they called in today’s living twang.

Well, that’s the lost of the new generations. But our friendships continued and ever lively as before with the technology of today, the sweet and sour of our success, with friends that never be un-friends but only unsubscribed, with our children and hope though we knew it’s hopeless.  We are striving and continuing the search for the fabulous change in life for our family, self-growth and unknown surprises in life. Aggies-ra-ra-ra.

We had a wonderful week even enjoyed the tobogganing. Though we were complaining of too much snow last week, we did enjoy its accumulations up on the hill. So far, that was our first snow blast and our snow blower or we called it our amt pumps really do the job. I used to shovel the walkway, while neighbors use the bigger snow pumps. I wonder how easy it is to use the snow blower than shoveling, then one day, I had my fair share of experience, clearing the path using the snow blower, “wet...hew” it was fantastic.

There’s no stopping in developing tech, electronic gadgets and all these abundance of aps, and now the free youtube downloader. I don’t know about this, because if I want to listen to music at youtube, I just play in live stream. I’m not that tech savvy and I’m poor of tinkering my computer. Besides, I’m afraid that it will crash again and I don’t know to troubleshoot. So, Youtube downloader! You just hang on there.

I hope this year will be more prosperous than the previous years. Though, we had some difficulties in balancing our cash way back, all I wish this year is my job will be realized, they said, it’s already good as right, that is, I will probably start working. I never have had New Year’s resolution of life and I intend to not to do it at all over again. As I said before, life for us is “come what may” but things should coincide with our financial plans. There are small things that will happen to us in-between or sometimes hurdles our ideal life to be. Those instances and circumstances are welcome and we tend to adjust. My wish this year is good jobs for me and hubby, more monies coming, plenty of foods on the table, good health and brighter politics and economy for tomorrow.

Two weeks of school break, and it’s almost over. I loved the sleeping and waking up late, no school preparations for our tot, it feels so good. Gosh, it’s already Wednesday and Monday is back to normal busy life and it would be busier “if” I will start my job this year. The house vacation is not that exciting sometimes because my allergies have also joined the break with me. Mannn, sniffles and sneezing with pee under, gosh the nerve of holding it! I must have this adult diaper, unfortunately they are not selling diaper individually. So there is no diaper for me yet.

Did I mention this before? Like, getting a healthy lush eyelash from the power of eyelash enhancer, I hope eye lashes will not grow like Daisy and Mini, and other girls in cartoons. This should be good for me. I could not curl my eye lashes because it’s too short, but I sometimes put mascara on, just keep my eyes looks bit bigger. I heard and read that this eyelash enhancer really whisks its magic wand, and I also heard that the chemical from the enhancer also could cause discoloration of the eyeball. Gee, I hope it will look darker brown for my eyes than it will turn purple, I assume.

The bitter salt of friends being user’s friendly.
When they needed you, they will crawl to your doorstep begging for hugs and kisses.
They say thank you and sorry all times, so they could mess your life over again.
You’re not the clingy type of friend, in fact, you are reserve, and serve always.
A real friend is rare, like extinct if you only befriend one and not more because of jealousy.
I am now alone, just curious, where did I get wrong?
I bet, few days from now, unwanted friend will dial my cell, and says sorry for long absence.
I’m still figuring it out if I’m buying this coming bullshits of appearance.
Christmas merry could not bend my knees to acceptance. It’s been like this for ages.
I don't celebrate Christmas, so let me enjoy my pardon of being user’s friendly free.
I am always the one who gives and give-up, serve and row the friendship boat.
I often navigate friendshipness with all my might.
Not sulking, but wondering why user’s friendly is gone boating without me rowing.
I might give-up with the not-sure incoming calls, but may be next year or never.
I need to find a new set of friends and hopefully they are not the user’s friendly ones.

I don’t know about going back to school thingy, what’s in my mind right now is how to get a job. I have been discerning about going back to school and learn a new degree, like the Online elementary education degree, early childhood education (ECE) or get a job based on the degree I am holding right now.  But going to school for the sake of getting a degree to get a job, is way stupid to do, than finding a job based on my degree right now. Gee, which one is right? I’m little confused, because right now I could not get in to the job I wanted to based on my degree and experience. Going back to school is too costly and the time I should spend for my family, gosh, these are tough enough already to think about.

It’s been three weeks now, visiting the clinic and our family doctor for my weekly test. The week will not pass without them taking my blood sample. Grrrrr, the things I hated most in the clinic, syringe and blood sucking session. Waiting in the clinic today is not fun as before, brochure displays are getting gloomy, no more magazines, but there’s plenty of medical thingy to read for, gosh, I’m already panicking inside the clinic for my health, and I don’t have nerve to read about depression, pre-natal, allergies and lots more about medicines and medications pamphlet. I wonder why these pamphlets stay, they said, clinics try to avoid contaminations, hand-to-hand transfer of virus or bacteria, because sick or not sick people in the clinic tend to read or scan magazines, in short, you know what I mean. So my blood test session today was another boring waits.

Four days now that I’m walking funny, or should I say, walking awkwardly.  I got this bloody bump or pimple like mound growing right on my...oh dear, it’s in the “shy to say spot”, forgive me readers, but I’m getting nasty and gross. The pimple bump that grows on my labia just popped, and it’s extremely painful to walk because my undie and pant rub “the it” over and over as I walked. I did put antibiotic ointment in it. I could not take any oral pain reliever medication because I have the gut feeling that maybe I am pregnant. I wish I am. My last pregnancy that was aborted therapeutically, gave me the same thing under (between my legs in the same spot). Ha ha ha, I'm so naughty eh! So, this time I’m being extra careful. I hope that this suffering of mine will give me extra credit, a baby will do. Am I too ambitious? Hell no, I could be and maybe.

Good timing! Since U.S Thanksgiving is almost over, Black Friday shopping would follow through, in fact, we are already having the Black Friday fever right now, as Canadian called it the Thursday Midnight Madness. Well, as usual that exclude me since I don’t really shop, following the fever. Broke as always, yeah we have credit card, a reason to get crazy, but not crazy enough to pay the bills, so I get rid of them, I shove them away together with my files, and hell I don’t know where. Actually, I’m still paying for our previous trip to Asia. I could manage buying gifts for the holidays, but not in a hurry. For my relatives this holiday, cigarettes and cigars are listed as always, swisher sweet cigars maybe considered and I hope there on sale, chocolates, wines, some knick knacks, DS Nintendo for our tot and nothing for me and hubby. We will be celebrating our 7th year together, that would be a little bit deal to think of. Surprise, surprise.

I knew it! Just what I thought, the first thing that tingles in my brain about nurse lingerie  is the sexy cutie nurse costume thingy. These stuff is more interesting during Halloween time, especially when you “play trying” to fix your honey’s whatever parts of his body that needs fixing. Grrrrr, I’m so naughty right now, and laughing too. Ha ha ha this post really makes me crazy for seconds. On the other side, I’m also hungry and envy with my sister having Thanksgiving feast in the U.S. right now. Putting these two things together in my brain at the same time, I’m really sounds crazy.

At the brink of nowhere, at the moment, the U.S greatest fiscalists have to tackle and come up with the most desirable fix tools to remedy the Americans economy. These economic activities not only the greatest tasks to do, but should be the most promising ones in order to get out of so called new era of economic depression. Are we on the way to Great 2020’s Depression? God no please, I have studied the 1930’s great depression and no way will I experience that miserable economic path, apparently I’m drowning to it. Here I am, still looking for job that my government promised to spare. Though, it’s not in America but I have felt the pangs of economic difficulty, as many economists said. The economic-chain-reactions pull and push globally as its international links comes stronger. It’s not a see-saw economy but I guess it’s more like a swing. Good that I’ve learned what is economics long before, if not? Then me, not getting a job right now may be will act and think differently, maybe in horrible way.

I was just mumbling about how to get a job and why I could not grab one, even the oddest one? There are actually numerous times in Toronto, “the national job fair”, as they called. Yes, jobs in engineering and health are more likely visible or may be feasible to get one. But since, my degree is best suited in the financial sector with little experience and counted “no” in Canadian experience standard.  You know what? I have been wishing in that instant that “I should have an engineering degree”. Not fair. Yes, there may be one job available for me there. Unfortunately, my husband’s work is rooted in Toronto, and moving to Edmonton and living there could be possible, living in to one of the Edmonton apartments, also in consideration. Wow! Alberta and winter, it’s like white Christmas every day. So good to be true.

Edmonton, Alberta as I’ve known from my friend, she said “is just a piece of cake”. I wonder why? And, it’s an interesting quote. I haven’t been there, but if one day. I will be given a promising job. I would definitely jump off the Toronto ship and experience what Edmonton central locations could give to this desperate job seeker. And, it's hassle free since Edmonton Property Management is always come handy. I’ve learned that it’s one of Canada’s promising territories, since lately, the province experience a promising surplus, of course financially. That certainly will give us the edge in getting a job and better living.

Not only the world economy is in depression right now, also there is depression to the workforces who are willing to work but could not find jobs. An economist with no job prospects, sort to apply odd jobs, like mail sorter, a dishwasher and whatever available in the job market. So far, there are better dishwashers and mail sorters than me. How could that be? I have gazillion times experience in dish washing and zillion times experience sorting our bills, in fact, these experiences runs for ages and now. Yes, though it’s not based on commercial and industrial experiences, but it does the same work. No wonder, many desperate job seekers would sort to end their lives, because it seems that there is no other whole for them to squeeze to getting a job. I am not pissed off, I’m just totally discarded. Shit promises of bloody immigration dream! Shit, shit, shit.
