			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I&#8217;m getting antsy. Sigh.<br />
I have not been to the States in 2 years and I&#8217;m trying to fight off the restlessness. Even WOW is boring to me now.<br />
I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m lost.<br />
I&#8217;m here at the office getting bored. I wish I had something to do. I am SO efficient that all I have left to do is file papers. Gawd, it&#8217;s the most boring job in world!<br />
My husband is swamped. He is struggling with law school and work. He doesn&#8217;t have time to deal with me right now. I get that. So I&#8217;m lost.<br />
I arrived home at 7pm last night. Had dinner with the in-laws. Surfed the net. Went to bed. While I was lying in bed, he was still playing WOW.<br />
I have only spoken 5 sentences to him since last night. Does he notice? No. hmmmm yeah ok then&#8230;..<br />
I&#8217;m bored. I have another project to give to school next week and I don&#8217;t fucking care.<br />
I need a vacation.<br />
I need a friend.<br />
I need my sister.<br />
Sigh.<br />
I&#8217;m trying to gather some enthusiasm for our Hongkong trip this summer. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s gonna happen honestly. Not without me pushing for it. And I don&#8217;t want to. I&#8217;m tired of pushing. I&#8217;m tired of planning for it. I&#8217;m tired of researching.<br />
I&#8217;m just tired.<br />
I&#8217;m tired of talking to my husband who dosn&#8217;t listen.<br />
I&#8217;m tired of waking up at 6am every morning to go to work.<br />
I&#8217;m tired of dealing with people I don&#8217;t wanna deal with.<br />
This restlessness is killing me.<br />
I should go visit my family.<br />
I miss my sisters.<br />
Oh wait, I gave up my green card for my husband who is too busy to listen. Sigh.<br />
I&#8217;m lost.<br />
I&#8217;m sad.<br />
And I&#8217;m stuck here.<br />
What to do&#8230;&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I have been very busy lately, as I always am. The daily grind has been getting to me. On the upside I topped the MBA dean&#8217;s list, which basically means I got the highest GPA last semester. It wasn&#8217;t a big deal for me. It was my classmates who told me. Hehe The recognition ceremony could have been done ages ago, I don&#8217;t know. I know I get good grades. I&#8217;m not competitive though, but I always try my best. I always expect myself to do good in everything. Hence, the obsessive perfectionist. My husband is the absent-minded genius. Great pair we make. He tells me his unheard of ideas. I ground him back to earth with operational details. He tells me his philosophies, I negate them with cynical realism.  Eeeek. </p>
	<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m studying for this report I&#8217;m supposed to give to my Organizational Development class later and the set of activities that Sheena and I planned to give. I&#8217;ve also been reading up on Capital Budgeting for Managerial Accounting. Big screw up on that one. In the only case that we weren&#8217;t able to discuss as a group, the leader printed out the answers and it turned out, the other groud had exactly the same. Our teacher confronted us in class about it. GAWD! Didn&#8217;t know anything about it. Had I known, I would have made the case myself honestly, even though I had another presentation to make that same day.  We wrote a letter to our teacher. Aside from that, I don&#8217;t know exactly what can be done. We&#8217;re all waiting on whether he&#8217;ll let us pass or not. <img src='http://kickazzbitch.blogsome.com/wp-images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
	<p>I can&#8217;t wait for this semester to end. I just wanna enjoy my summer vacation now!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I have been struggling with what to write in this blog for the longest time. Two days after my last post, John had a car accident. He&#8217;s fine, thank God, the car is a wreck but it made me realize how short our life truly is, and that no matter what we do, we never really have any control over what happens to us. </p>
	<p>It&#8217;s my Midterm exam for Managerial Acounting this Saturday. It is without a doubt the toughest subject in my MBA, but I&#8217;m not even feeling any pressure towards it at all. In my head, I know I have to study to get a good grade, but my heart is not really in it. For so long, I have studied hard, exceled at whatever I did and now I&#8217;m realizing that exceling isn&#8217;t enough anymore. </p>
	<p>I&#8217;m getting that restlessness again. And it scares me. </p>
	<p>I feel like what I do is meaningless. I used to think that having a good job that pays very well was enough, that getting my Master&#8217;s is enough, that having a wonderful husband is enough. But it&#8217;s not. Something is still missing. I still feel lonely. </p>
	<p>When John had that accident, afterwards we did seriously consider having children. We still are. I don&#8217;t think I can handle it though. I&#8217;m getting 5 hours a sleep every night. I&#8217;m not eating healthy. I&#8217;m always stressed. It just doesn&#8217;t seem like the right time to be carrying a child. When we decide to have children, I want to be physically and emotionally prepared for it. It will be a conscious decision for us because I can&#8217;t get pregnant naturally and I don&#8217;t know what difficulties we will face because of it, but when we do want it, I want to be completely focused on it and nothing else. </p>
	<p>The truth is, much as I want to make money to live and raise my children, I also want to go back to my Psychology roots. I know I probably would have been a doctor, if my parents hadn&#8217;t decided to migrate to the States back in High school. </p>
	<p>I want my life to mean something. I don&#8217;t want to spend it making money to tell you the truth, but it seems I have fallen into the trap of normalcy. </p>
	<p>After my MBA, I plan to look into options where I can squeeze in some kind of civic/outreach program, where I can donate my time, since I don&#8217;t have money to give anyway. Just the thought is making me feel better already. </p>
	<p>Maybe there&#8217;s hope for me yet. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I don&#8217;t know why I&#8217;ve been feeling depressed lately. I feel so lonely. It&#8217;s tough balancing my job, my MBA and my husband. Oftentimes John and I only have time to eat and sleep when I get home from work. Maybe it&#8217;s because of WOW. John&#8217;s more addicted to it than I am. Maybe it&#8217;s because he doesn&#8217;t listen to me, not really. He only does it when he knows I&#8217;ll get mad if he doesn&#8217;t. Are all men innately selfish? I feel like it&#8217;s part of their nature and requires obvious effort to curb it. I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t like feeling that my husband is all I have. I mean with my family in the States and in Silay (who I see for 3 hours every two weeks) it&#8217;s no wonder I don&#8217;t have anyone to talk to. Except for John, who has his own world. Spending time together feels like it has to be scheduled. I hate it. The truth is, I&#8217;d also like to talk to someone else aside from him. I don&#8217;t want to depend on him for everything. His emotional quotient is 3 out of 10, his social sensitivity a 4 and his ability to empathize a 2. Every time I talk to him he thinks I&#8217;m asking him to solve my problems for me. I&#8217;ve told him so many times I just want him to listen. No he doesn&#8217;t listen. If he did, he&#8217;ll stop telling me what to do with my life everytime I&#8217;m venting. I mean it&#8217;s called venting for a reason and it&#8217;s called a sympathetic ear for a reason. </p>
	<p>I grew up being the strong one, a fucking rock. I&#8217;m tired sometimes you know. Apparently that hasn&#8217;t changed in my marriage either. I still have to be the strong one, leading my husband along. I&#8217;m the one who comforts him, cheers his efforts, gives him advise, makes him feel better about himself. Can he do that to me? No. Maybe I&#8217;m asking too much. I don&#8217;t know. But when I&#8217;m down, he can&#8217;t cheer me up. He can&#8217;t make me feel better. Sometimes he doesn&#8217;t even notice that I&#8217;m feeling bad. Men are so absurdly clueless sometimes, it&#8217;s not even funny. </p>
	<p>I just feel so goddamn tired.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I&#8217;m sure everyone has days when they screw up one thing after another. I&#8217;ve never had it go on for weeks though. I&#8217;m taking this Managerial Accounting class and for the life of me, it seems more like Chinese. I don&#8217;t understand a thing and this teacher that we have isn&#8217;t making it any easier. Every meeeting we have is another chance for me to fail this subject and I am so sick and tired and despressed of not knowing shit. I hate it. I hate being incompetent. I need to get good grades and I&#8217;m afraid that this subject will disqualify me from getting honors. Why is getting honors so important to me? Because I need to feel that the three years I spent taking my master&#8217;s actually mean something. Because anyone can get an MBA but not everyone can graduate with honors. I need to get a 1.5 on this subject and it&#8217;s kinda hard when I have absolutely no idea what is going on in class. I hate feeling so stupid but I do. I can&#8217;t be stupid. I happen to have Superior IQ, so what is the problem???AARGH

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>So I got my license last Friday. Wohoo! I can now officially drive! </p>
	<p>I also got something else from the LTO last Friday and it was some kind of allergic reaction to either the heat or the swarms of people there.  After I came home from the LTO, had a splitting headache and then woke up the next day with a sore throat, just like that. So I&#8217;m on antibacterial meds and asthma meds at the moment coupled with my eczema meds. I can hardly see my eyes from the moon face and have been wondering lately who the hell that fat woman is looking back at me through the mirror. It&#8217;s insane I tell ya!
