Challenge: Day 4, Day 5, Day 6

I'm making up for the two days that I missed. I was busy last weekend. :)

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have

Eating when I get bored. Forgetting to eating when I get too busy. I think this explains why I am having a difficult time losing weight.  The first is self-explanatory. The other one, though, increases my tendency to overeat on the next meal. I must kick the habit soon.

Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

Great Sta. Cruz Island, Zamboanga City (with the pretty girls: Jubail and Eloize)

I hope I could visit this place again. I really wasn't able to enjoy the place because the day was jam-packed with activities. Nice beach, nice scenery.

Day 06- Favorite super hero and why

IRON MAN

from: caffeine-headache.net

I'm really not into superheroes but among those that I know, I find Iron Man most realistic. I'm not a fan of the person inside the "battle suit" though, because Tony Stark is just too proud of himself. 

Challenge: Day 03- A picture of you and your friends

I know I'm only asked for one photo but I don't have a photo that has everybody on it.

High School Friends

Rose, Me, Beryl and Nathelle 

 Rhea, Rose, Beryl and Me

Rose, Me, Jedd and Beryl

The common denominator.

(We have the most pictures in my file)

Challenge: Day 02- The meaning behind your Blogger name

"Soul Satellite" came from the song Lost In Space by The Lighthouse Family.  This has been the name of all of my blogs (I've had 2 blogs before this, and I didn't tell people that I had these blogs). I have chosen this name because as I've said in the previous entry, I think that I express myself better in writing. I share a bit of my soul in every entry.  I'm not much of a talker, and when there's a need for me to express something, I write rather than talk about it.

Challenge: Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

February 5, 2011

1. I really love numbers. 

2. I hate tea, except iced tea.  My nose hurts whenever I drink hot tea.

3. I wash my feet before I sleep.  I just can't sleep comfortably without washing them.

4. A no-hanky day is my version of a bad hair day. I just cannot leave the house without one.  That's why I make sure that I have enough tissue with me just in case I miss to bring a handkerchief.

5. I used to love having long phone calls (high school days) but now, I cannot stand talking on my cellphone that long.  

6. I love eating ampalaya (bitter gourd). I used to hate them when I was little.

7.  I am not a "talker". I express my thoughts better in writing.

8. Chemical Engineering was not my first choice. It was Biology. I was planning to go to med school after college but then everything has changed. I now love being an Engineer, though I still am amused with medical stuff.

9. Pasta, pizza, chocolates - my favorite food.

10. I plan to teach after I work in the industry. I just realized this passion for teaching when I was reviewing for my board exam. I hope this passion will not die.

11. I dress comfortably, I don't dress to impress. But I see to it that I wear presentable clothes.

12. I now hate Facebook. I was supposed to deactivate my account but then I don't want to lose contact with some of my friends who aren't in Twitter. So what I did is to block EVERYONE from seeing my Wall. 

13. This blog is my third blog (thus the "3rd" in the site address).

14. It's not that I hate having pets or plants, I just can't take care of them, that's why I don't have pets and I don't have a garden (though we have a garden but I am not the one maintaining it).

15. I am sentimental. I keep letters and stuff from friends.

the dog days will soon be over

A month has passed since my last entry.  I have been a bum ever since, but a lot has changed since my last post. Our long-time house helper left us because she had to take care of her husband who had a stroke, therefore I am now in charge of the household chores.  It wasn't difficult on my part because I was trained to do the chores, but it wasn't also that easy.  I think this is the best way to spend my unemployed days.  Nevertheless, we are in search for a new house helper because I will be leaving soon.

I recently got accepted in the company that I was eyeing for. I was a bit surprised at how things have turned out.  I thought I was not doing well in the interviews, and I never thought that they would present the job offer immediately after I passed the series of interviews (I didn't even know that I was actually undergoing the final interview).  I accepted their offer. I am scheduled to start a month from now. I just need to complete the pre-employment requirements which includes medical exams and maybe some documents.

This marks the day that I will start maximizing my remaining free time.  I will make sure that I will spend some time with my friends before I leave for work. Good thing I could still spend my birthday here in Davao. I will also roam around the city, because I will surely miss what it's like to be in this beautiful place.

I will be independent soon, time slipped by so fast.

* So for the remaining days of my unlimited internet, I will be doing a challenge. I found this on Tumblr and I want to do this here in my blog. For 30 days, I will be posting these stuff:
