Friday Frustrations: 3 things

Technically, it is already Sunday but because there were circumstances that were not in my control, I will only get to post an entry here today.

What circumstances? My frustration?

I am slowly losing interest in something and I have to set my mind and find out what I really want to do with it.

Anyway, the previous month and last the 5-days of this week has been a huge upset and frustration to me.

1. I feel bored, drained and unhappy with what I'm doing. I used to enjoy it but now I'm thinking nothing's changing, it's just brain-juice draining and just plain blah. I need to come up with a backup plan before deciding on anything.

2. My Wi-Fi router here at home is busted and now I have to take turns with my brother for the direct cable of the internet. He stays longer online than I do.

3. My laptop's battery is bloated and it cost P7,500 ($170) for a new one. If I don't replace it, I'll have to bear with a trackpad, trackbutton and keyboard that has a mind of their own; clicking, highlighting and deleting on its own. So now, I removed my battery and is using the adapter ALL day.

Blah, blah, blah. I can feel my frustration going sky high especially with number 1.
Lord, help me.

Friday Frustrations: Itchy Throat

1. I didn't get enough sleep last night even though I was so sleepy because of my super mega itchy throat. I felt the symptoms of this coming days before and I ignored it thinking that this was the 3rd time this month that I felt it and a day or two after it disappears. I guess I was wrong to ignore it this time.

I was so proud that I haven't gotten seriously sick for almost a year except for my normal allergy attacks that normally last for less than a week until July happened and I got sick to the extremes. I was hospitalized for almost a week and after that I get sick almost every month. Allergy and sore throat are my closest best friends and they have been visiting my quite regularly these past few month. I guess they are making it up to me.

This is the worst visit so far after my hospitalization. I couldn't sleep because every time I feel like dozing off, I start coughing and sneezing. My cousin who is a nurse is now starting to ask me questions if I have difficulty breathing, if I have fever, etc. etc. Fortunately, I answered no and no and no to all her questions.

I'm still keeping my inhaler beside me just in case. I am also drowning my throat with water.

So yeah, my itchy throat is frustrating me. I need my sleep especially with all my online activities which require my brain to work. I'm feeling too exhausted. Weekend is here again and I'll be resting then.

2. Remember that freeloader I posted about in one of my previous FF entries? Well, she's still here and I already told someone close to her that I want her out. It's been almost 3 months already. HELLO!?!

Okay. Bye.

Happy weekend to everyone! :)

Friday Frustrations: Job Hunt & Money Matters.

If you've been following me here, you know how frustrated I already am to find a job. I started applying January 1, 2009. I sent out my CV to A LOT of companies since then. I had several interviews-slash-exams but that's just about it. I stopped applying and decided to let my applications sink in first. Then I started applying again. Just this week I had one exam in a bank and 2 interviews in the same company. I wasn't qualified to take the initial interview after my exam and the result of the 2 interviews I had in one company is still "pending". I am seriously seriously tired of having to apply and looking forward for calls and getting interviews and then not hearing from them again. Maybe it's because I've been spending a lot when I go to interviews. I pay for the transportation, food, printing out of my CV, etc. And you guys know how tight my budget is right now! Ugh. It's just frustrating.

Speaking of budget, another thing that's getting me all worked up is my pending payment in one review site that I joined sometime last year. Since our country got banned there and it's now renamed and owned by a new company, they've been sending out pending payments to their members. But my almost $80 is still with them. I've been e-mailing them for months now, some members who they owed less than $10, even less than $5 have already been paid. I am in desperate need of any amount that I have pending online. Seriously. Right now they are my only source of income, if I could call it at least that.

So yeah, I hope they pay up and I get to receive it by first week of September! I could pay my debt to my brother and pay my phone bill with that amount. After that, I'd have no worries and I'll start from scratch again without thinking about debts and just worry and "work" for my own use.

Please! Please! Please!

Friday Frustrations: Stop Backstabbing Me!

Dear Freeloader,

You have been living with our family for quite a long time. You haven't paid a single cent for any bills, accommodation and for food. So please don't go stabbing me in the back saying that I am selfish for not giving any food money here at home. First off, you are the one with a job. I have none. Meaning, you have the money. And since you are the oldest character here at home with a job I think it is only proper to at least donate something something. If you don't want to then shut up! We're not obligating you to do so but since you know that my Dad passed away and it's only my Mom who is working in the States who is paying ALL (except the phone bill) the darn bills, I think the least that you could do instead of blabbing on to people that I am selfish is to buy things or help out a little financially.

Sincerely,

Someone who doesn't want to think that you are an ingrate

Friday Frustrations: Blah is all that comes out of your mouth.

To: You Know Who You Are

I have always known your words are worth nothing, most especially your promises. They are and will always be made to be broken. You have proven me that for years and I should have known better than to believe you this time around. Change my ass. You have not changed a bit. Not your negative traits anyway.

Bye.

P.S.

You shouldn't make promises you know you won't be able to keep (uncertainty counts).

From: Someone Who's Had Enough Of You

Friday Frustrations!

Here I am again with yet another couple frustrations of mine. I won't make this long since I am also not in my not-so-usual bubbly self.

1. It's been about a week now after I have sent my applications to like 50 vacant positions in different companies and I haven't heard from any one of them. Not even for an initial interview whatsoever. I am getting stressed out thinking about this since...

2. ... we have no food in the fridge, pantry and the whole kitchen. How terrific can this month get? It's also been exactly a week since we just go to the store to buy some canned goods and me and my brother aren't really comfortable eating canned and fried meals for days straight. But heck it's cheaper than going to the market especially now that...

3. ... I am doing some serious budgeting around here because the bills are due this week and having said that my allowance has been cutoff, I really really need to tighten the belt. Good luck with this frustration. I hope next week my frustration will be a lot lighter like wanting to eat Frozen Yogurt or watch a movie or go out or another hangover but wait, they all involve spending which I cannot possibly do right now if I want to stretch out my remaining money until I get my job. Believe me, it won't last another 30 days. Job, please come and get me!

Friday Frustrations!

I have recently decided to join Mommy Maria's weekly meme, Friday Frustrations, I first read about it earlier this month but I just didn't think that it would fit my daily schedules especially since it's a Friday and I usually go out every night and sleep in in the day.

Today's different though, I am squeezing this entry in after sleeping in more than half of the day, making drops and before I head out of the door in a few minutes. 

I have about 3 frustrations right now and they're not at all good:

1. I woke up at around 1 something in the afternoon earlier, I did my usual routine of waking my laptop up and checking my mail, blog and Facebook. Then I saw my Adgitize not working, my drops dropped from 100+ to less than 50. So that basically woke my nerves up until I checked my phone for my messages. One message topped the worst news of the day or even the month: my monthly allowance will be cut off starting the end of this month! How a great news to start my day with! I have no job yet, I'm still in the process of applying and interviews and my birthday is next month. My brother didn't even inform me beforehand about this. His secretary just texted me that I won't get any allowance anymore. I mean, they could just have told me that they'll cut it off next month or after my birthday. You know, some breathing space!? Argh! Bills. Bills. Expenses. Work. Job. Please!

2. Okay, with number being said: I NEED A JOB, ASAP!

3. Numbers 1 and 2 combined!

I'll die! I almost cried. My initial reaction was blank, nothing and then when it finally sank in, I thought about my bills, my expenses and my Subic trip on the 28th-30th. :( This is so frustrating!
