In A Jam

I am on my fourth day at work. I do enjoy work, I guess the only thing I don’t rave about is the trip home. I always get stuck in a traffic jam, no matter how early I get out of here. I don’t know anyone who loves traffic jams. I think, even the traffic enforcers hate it.

The people I work with are really nice and accommodating. I believe I am the youngest by a mile. My constant companion on my rides home is Doreen. She lives about 30 minutes away from my house. Like me, she doesn’t like traffic jams, too. I like the fact that I don’t have to ride home alone. Having a chat with someone kills time.

I think I will be able to get a new digital camera soon. I am looking to buy the Olympus 1030. It is both shockproof and water resistant. I looked online and found someone who sells it as brand new at a much cheaper price. I talked to my sister about it and she may donate half of the expenses. It’s really to cool to have a sister whose salary is three times higher than what I get. She recently bought a PSP Slim for my brother, which became for family use because we all use it. Too bad for my brother because my sister said it’s not his property but ours (the whole family). The only game I play in it is Luxor and I am on level 14 already. I play about 30 minutes a night when I get home from work. I think my score is more than a million already.

Don’t be bored just yet.

We Got Robbed!

We left the house this afternoon for a family’s day out. We always lock every door and close all our windows. Today, we didn’t leave any light on, so I guess the scumbags thought it was a window of opportunity.

When we arrived at 9:30pm tonight, I smelled a bad odor. I thought it was just Booboo’s poop, but it wasn’t. I went to the kitchen and found my drawer from our room on the floor. I had a bad feeling about it, then my dad checked the back door. It was open.

My mom’s jewelry box was beside my drawer. Fortunately, my drawer does not contain anything important. My mom’s jewelries are gone, the watch from Spain is gone, my digital camera, two cellphones, and my sister’s wallet are gone, too. The whole family is devastated.

We do have security guards patrolling the neighborhood, but I guess we need to have a background check on each of them. I mean, what if they know those people?

Friday Booboos

dog, Booboo

Why I Love My Dog:
  1. Dogs keep us relax and patient. When you are experiencing a hard day, when you think you are down on the dumps, petting your dog can help ease your depressing emotions. I find myself stroking Booboo when I am on a bad mood. It helps me relax and I can feel my heart going back to its normal beat. Since dogs are like human babies, I learned to be more patient. Even if Booboo can become really rowdy or naughty and ruins some stuff we own, I still manage to keep my cool and I don’t hit her, like some dog owners do.
  2. Dogs keep us healthy. I do not exercise as much as I want to, but taking Booboo for walks everyday helps me get some. Another thing we do is run around the garden or play fetch. We both benefit our everyday routines, since dogs need exercise, too.
  3. Dogs are carefree. Humans worry too much and I can attest to that. By observing Booboo, I noticed how nothing really worries her and she never passes up an opportunity to feel joy or be joyous in whatever it is that she does. When I am in deep thought, I notice how she would sit really close to me and nuzzle me gently, as if she knows I need to be consoled.
  4. Dogs don’t hold a grudge, they forgive us quickly.
