A couple of minutes ago, my son and I were playing when he suddenly shouted that there was a helicopter flying somewhere near our house. I don't know why he has this fear of real helicopters. Anyway, because of the helicopter, he covered his ears with his hands as if to block the sound of the rotors of the chopper.

Now, an airplane just passed by but this time my son was shouting happily and waving to the airplane. I heard him say, "Mamu, gusto Ky-Ky drive dun." (Mamu, I want to drive that.) So I asked him what he wanted to drive. He said, "Yun baga Mamu. Airplane. Drive Ky-Ky airplane." (That one, Mamu. An airplane. I will drive an airplane.)

And so I have realized that my son is just growing up so quickly. At the age of two years old, he now has this dream of being a pilot. (And I remembered my own dream as a child which was to become a cook.) The next thing I'll know, this tot of mine is going to tell me that he now has to go out with his friends. Sheesh!

If being a pilot is really Sky's dream, then I really would have to work hard now. I certainly am sure that the whole cost of learning to be a pilot is quite high. And right now, I can't even afford braces for my own teeth. Goodluck to me. And I do hope my son becomes a pilot. That means I can fly for free. Right, son?

I am feeling oh so stressed. Honestly. Like when I am in the jeepney on the way to the office, I can feel my stomach start to produce just too much acid. My stomach is the part of my body that reacts to all the stress and acid reflux has been one of the "illnesses" that I suffer because of stress. 

And so I believe that a vacation is what I do need. Too bad there are no websites here in the Philippines which would allow me to book a Hawaii cruise vacation without having to go to a booking office of some sort. Just imagine, if I were maybe living in the US (like New York maybe. Hehe.), I'd probably be surfing the net all day and looking at popular vacation destinations. Then all I need to do is book a trip to somewhere without having to leave the comfort of my house. That easy.

Too bad there isn't such a deal here in the Philippines. I really love taking vacations just so I can unwind after weeks (or maybe even months) of stressful work.

I wanted to have my own domain and web hosting for my blog. I have been given a web hosting choice by a friend but I was still unsure whether I would not regret having my own domain and web hosting in the long run. Honestly, right now, I just consider it a luxury and not a necessity. That's me. 


Just my two cents' worth here.

I need a breather. I need to relax. And I need to take a break. When will I be able to? Honestly, I don't know up until when can I keep this up. It's hard and it's bringing me down. The only consolation I have when I go home are my movies and my CSI DVDs. That's all. But as soon as I take a seat behind this piece of bulky equipment, I need to slave away and try to make the idle muscle I have up there. Or else I go blank.

I just might short circuit any time soon. Please be forewarned.
