My new job title(s)

Creative Director. Housemaid. Balikbayan entertainer. “On Semi-Hiatus” blogger.

Whew. That’s kind of a lot, you know. We’re working on a good number of projects from our outsourcing partner, and we also need to handle some internal projects and strategies. I’ve been doing a lot of research, analysis, and actual design work the past few days… I’ve been so used to using the artistic side of my brain that I’ve forgotten how it feels like to use the other half intensively My brain’s logical side haven’t felt this “used” since I did my last Philosophy oral exam in college.

Anyway, one of the major reasons why I haven’t been blogging much is because my dad and I are currently the housemaids here at home. Our stay-in maid, Marlyn, took a 10-day holiday break to be with her family. My mom really can’t do anything much since she had her stroke but watch TV, and we can’t depend on my sister because she’s schizophrenic. So there. My dad and I are stuck with Marlyn’s chores for the time being.

Marlyn’s coming back this Friday, and damn, I can hardly wait. I don’t think I have a career in washing the dishes, having broken two glasses already (hey, come on, they slipped!)… Since I also need to work on my PC, I only get to wash those danged dishes after work. Geez. There are only four of us (people at least) in this house, and yet the pile of dirty dishes I face every night is probably as tall as Mt. Everest (ok, I’m exaggerating, but it is a HUGE pile). I’ve been mopping the floor almost every hour, but dog pee reappears almost instantly. Argh. I really have no idea how Marlyn manages to keep it clean… Or maybe my dogs are just annoying me?!

My dad’s cousins are also here in Manila visiting. We haven’t seen Tita Myra in years, and Ninang Mercy we saw a year ago I think. But you know what? I don’t mind this one Aside from the fact that I really like both Tita Myra and Ninang Mercy anyway, I wash less dishes whenever we eat with them ‘coz dinners are usually held at their mom’s house in Caloocan or in a restaurant. But well, the dog pee piles up, so it’s kinda like mopping a small lake when get home

Last but not the least: I still have this blog to manage. I’m working on a temporary template (very slowly, I might add… I hardly got any free time), so please bear with the Christmas decors for now. I really have no idea when I’ll get to finish the design… You’ll just see it up when I’m done
