Since the rain has been keeping me indoors a lot, I brought a piece of the garden with me in the house. These are freesias. They smell good too!

End of winter sale
Yes, one month to go before winter ends and all stores are now having their sale to get rid of winter clothes and last years summer clothes. I haven't really been shopping much since I came to NZ because I have no money (LOL) and tinatamad ako and I have no idea what's cheap and expensive from NZ p.o.v.
But now, I have a vague idea. Anything below $15 is okay. $20 something must be good quality blouse...more than that dapat dress or pants or shoes...this is me being kuripot. I have no idea if people will agree with me or not. Ask Ate Don.
Anyway..everyday this week I have been rushing to the nearby outlet store do to my shopping. I get off work at 4:30. I reach the mall 4:45. Stores close at 5:00. Do the math! I do my shopping in 15 mins!!!! In other words, one store a day!!!! hahaha...
Pressure pero di ako napapagod. LOL
To make things easier, I head straight to the $10 below rack and get all available sizes, shapes and color. So mga ka-pamilya...alam nyo na ano pasalubong/xmas gifts nyo...hahahaha!!! Better yet text me your sizes na. As point of reference, I'm S/M or 8/10 depende sa brand. :p

Stormy weather and cookies
I wonder why my three recent posts are all about NZ weather...hehehe... Guess I'm still marveling at its difference with Davao weather. I'm now home alone listening to the strong wind and the rain drops hitting the window every time the wind blows.
There was a storm over the weekend with gale winds reaching over a hundred kph. Many of the seaside towns experienced floods and power outage. Good thing it wasn't too bad in the city. We even managed to watch the Dark Knight despite the news advising people to stay at home. Tigas ulo no?
Today the I didn't even notice the sunshine. It was cloudy and dreary. It could also be the reason why my day wasn't so good as well. I had tons of work. Don't get me wrong. I love to have a lot of things to do. The difference is that today, it was a lot of the small stuffs. Each vying for their attention. I couldn't stick to one task and concentrate cause the phone would ring or an email would pop up or someone would drop by needing something. My head is spinning just thinking about it. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
Today, I also became the cookie lady. Our receptionist is on holiday and people assumed that I have the keys to the drawer where the cookies are kept. I don't have them. The HR lady does and she's keeping a tight lid on our cookie supply. There are 15 of us in the Finance Dept and we usually have 2 packs for morning tea and another 2 for afternoon tea. Since the receptionist went on holiday, we were down to 2 packs a day. Today, the HR lady said that we should stick to 1 pack a day because we don't have enough supplies and that the cookies are a privilege. Well well...she should hear my colleagues complain. They want their cookies badly. I was able to keep 1 pack today so hopefully, we'll have 2 packs for tomorrow. How I wish our receptionist is back.
