Angel

Tolits, Ate Amy and Aldwin left about an hour ago to return to their initial destination here in LA — Baton Rouge.

It’s so sad that they had to leave, they have been our company since Anton, Bong and I went here.  They were our constant dinner and lunch dates, shopping and touring buddies here in Shreveport and Dallas.  Gone are our swimming nights with them, but then again, we might not be long here anyway.  I just hope they won’t send us to New Orleans (no offense people).

We will surely miss our friends, especially Aldwin, our little friend who did made our days brighter with his smile and cute antics, we look forward to seeing you again little buddy.  And to Tolits and Ate Amy, thanks for sharing with us your little Angel.  We will miss you guys.

      There’s nothing really new at all, explains why I haven’t posted for a while.  It has been four looong weeks, and unfortunately we are still here at Shreveport, Louisiana, oh yes.  So much for the two weeks business-cum-vacation huh! Except that we’re not vacationing at all!!!

     Uh okay, we were vacationing during the first week we’re here, there’s little work then, we even managed to have a weekend trip to Dallas, Texas.  And that weekend at Dallas was no fun at all, yeah we went to the Palace of Wax, and the Grapevine Mills for a little shopping, then that’s it, we have so little time to spare since we spent a luncheon and 2 dinners (same day) with Pinoy friends of Anton and Tolits (co-engineers of Bong).  Anyway, we said we’d go back for a little more of toilering around.

     And now it has been four weeks, and let me tell you, those four weeks didn’t  go fast enough to spare me the loneliness of being cramped inside a tiny hotel room with only a TV and my laptop to entertain me with.  And except for the constant chat with Irene and phone calls from Ate Amy, a few emails from the ladies of NC, I don’t have anyone to talk to, except of course my husband, who goes home (at the hotel) to sleep after a day’s work.  I couldn’t go outside, the temperature during the 2nd and 3rd week was flaming at 95-105 F, maybe just 10 minutes out in the sun will leave me passed out coz of the heat.  I even had a nose bleed just lounging around the hotel lobby.

   Oh well, so much for my ranting, I just really hope things will be better in the next few days, and maybe, just maybe, they will send us home in about a few weeks or so… just keep hoping!

     Here are some pics from our first dinner here in Louisiana, taken from the Louisiana Boardwalk.   Just bear with the pictures, I left my Digi-cam at the hotel so I just used my camera phone just to get some shots of the scenery. 

I am really starting to love it here, the city is nice, the downtown is beautiful and the lights are breathtaking.

     A 15-hour ride to Louisiana with my hubby and Anton for work…sure is a tiring one.  This is the longest I have ridden by land.  We got here by 2 in the morning I guess, I can’t trust my eyes as the visions have been blurred by the ride.  And for the first time in months, since we have been moving from here and there, I was able to sleep full 8 hours. 

     I was just pissed off when I woke up and found a used sock on the bed, it was not ours, maybe the sheets were not changed before we checked in.  This hotel (Jameson Inn, Shreveport NC) really sucks.  There’s not even a ref or a microwave in our room, how am I suppose to cook all the ‘in cans’ we bought at the Filipino store in Raleigh?! We’ll be staying here for a week, or at least that’s what the front desk said, apparently LEMCON reserved our rooms for only a week, and were supposed to stay here for 2.

     I woke up at around 10:30 this morning, and boy am I hungry…but breakfast is til 10am only.  I still have to wait for Bong and Anton (who are in the conference room right now for a meeting with their Manager) so we can grab a bite.  Actually there is carton full of krispy kreme doughnuts here in our room which Anton bought on the way here last night, but I can’t just get one and munch on it, hiya ako eh…

     No pictures to share this time, maybe during the weekend.  Ciao!

    And did I already wrote that the internet sucks too?  Well, it took me three times before successfully posting this thing.  So much for ‘high speed internet’ huh!
