First day for 2010

For some reason, our house has been plagued with mosquitoes this past week. But I had a fairly good sleep thanks to Dragon Katowl, lamowk siguradong teypowk! :D

Then got up, ate and drank coffee slowly. Now off to work work work!!! This was my get-up for my first work day of 2010:

Haha, quite shabby for my standards. But for today I choose comfort over style. It's my number coding day so I commuted to the office, thus my choice of clothing. I had a very laid-back travel, I walked slowly and didn't even bother to complain about my short change in the FX. I don't want to start the year with stress and a hot temper.

So how was today? Just like any other work day, hehehe. Except for the extra volume of unread emails and a team meeting where my boss announced that we will soon have shifting because of our growing number of members. I really don't mind as long as they don't place me on graveyard shift. I also postponed my scheduled haircut to Friday since the meeting set me back by about an hour. Then finally rode in Kuya Celso's shuttle to Masinag.

Now I'm at home enjoying this sikwate made by Ate Vilma. Yep, that's my day. Nice and relaxed. :)

Twilight

Facebook has become too crowded for me, so I decided to cut back a bit. I also noticed that I've grown less productive because of my fb addiction, fb in my room, in the living room, while on transit, on vacation etc etc. I won't stop using it, but I'll try my best to login less and correspond more moderately. With that in mind, I'll just post my experimentation shots here. Don't want to bug my contacts there and I want to keep this hobby private. This is the latest, I just tested my tripod and the shots are indeed much better than just the 'clip your elbow' ones. The light was better absorbed and there was no visible jitter, in my eye at least.

These are raw twilight shots in front of our house:

Brentwood Visit

We made a short visit at Brentwood, Antipolo and inspected my relatives' property there. This is a very historic property for my Mom, it almost broke them siblings up. Well it's a long story, basically some misunderstanding blown up by one of my bruha Aunt's brainwash powers over Mama's brothers and sisters. Good thing it's all fixed now. Point is, I got to test my Panorama software! Hahaha, hihihi :P

Last day of vacation...

Since I worked last December 30 and 31, I get to take Monday and Tuesday off (Jan 4-5). Which I think is turning out to be good. While everyone is already on their manic first workday of the year, I still have the chance to adjust and ready myself for tomorrow. So, what are my plans for today? WALA!!! HAHAHA! Right now I'm installing photo editing stuff on my work PC, wahahaha. I'm still on honeymoon stage with my new toy, I want to learn as much as possible on what it can do while I still have a lot of free time. Took some photos yesterday:

Quick stop at Cherry:
























Electro:

Test shots at home:





I'm kinda tamad to study technical know-how's especially since I'm used to my lomo's which I think is a crime to post process. Editing will defeat the purpose of the art. But I resolve to improve a ton on this digital thingie. I want to maximize my sexy Lexi's potential and I'll do my best to learn more on post processing, I swear!!! Hahahahahahahaha. Hindi nga, promise! :P

Quiapo Day

Punta akong Quiapo ngayon. Bili ako ng films para sa old school cam ko. Iniisip ko pa kung papaayos ko na yung flash, pero baka saka na lang. Medyo gipit na ako e at hindi ko pa naman kelangan. Tapos tingin tingin na din ng screen guard saka accessories para kay Lexi. Sa totoo lang medyo tinatamad ako e, kaso sa tingin ko pag di pa ako lumakad ngayon ay tatamarin na ako ever. Ayun. In fairnessness ang sipag ko mag-blog ngayon, iba nga naman talaga nagagawa ng boredom at kabangagan. :P

Eto sample shots ng bago kong alaga:

My old school love:

I love My Brus

Nag-Christmas chorva kami kagabi nung College berks ko sa Antipolo. Grabe, na-miss ko sila!!! Ang mga usapang kakikayan at career. Pero grabe, tumatanda na talaga kami, kasama na sa pinag-uusapan ang tungkol sa pagpapakasal, pag-iipon at pagpapamilya. Dyusme, ni wala pa nga akong boypren, at sa totoo lang hindi ko pa rin makita ang sarili kong nagpapasakal in the near future. Hindi lang talaga ako ganung klaseng tao. Pero gusto ko rin naman magkapamilya syempre, hindi lang yun yung tipo ng bagay na pinagtutuunan ko ng pansin sa mga panahong ito.

Ayun, masaya naman. Kahit jologs yung receptionist at parang gusto na siyang saktan nila Erma dahil hindi siya accommodating. Napa-rent pa tuloy kami ng cottage kahit di naman kelangan at naulan-ulanan pa kami. And pordat, isang oras lang tulog ko at pauwi humataw na ako galing tikling nang mahatid na sila agad at makauwi sa pinakamadaling panahon.

Nakakaaliw talaga yung ganitong klase ng pagkakaibigan. Kung tutuusin halos isang taong ko na silang hindi nakakasama (nung kasal ni Gidget di naman kasi kami gaano nagkausap). Pero parang pakiramdam ko last week lang kami huling nagkita at kung paano kami nung college ganun pa din hanggang ngayon. I love you friends!






At dahil sa mga kaganapan kagabi, gagawa ako ng to-do list:
- Upload ng pictures namin
- Lamunin yung chocolates na bigay ni Bars (pati yung para kay Allan, hahaha)
- Aralin ang paggamit ng LX3 at install sa PC yung software
- Basahin yung regalo ni Erma
- Tumunganga, magpahinga at matulog ng bonggang bongga!!!

Ayun. Hintay hintay pa akong matapos tong inu-upload ko. :)

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! Today I will try to jog off my overindulgence these past few days (keyword:try). I also want to spend some quiet solitary time in my beloved UP. No deep purpose, no need to reflect on life or anything. Just want to spend quality peace and quiet. No quangs, hahaha, shucks that's such an old joke!

Yeah, that's my January 1 to-do. Don't think, just meditate. :)

Reflections for 2009

Nice, the title is very reminiscent of the indakan piece, hehe. Eng'g Week spirit just doesn't die in me.

Anyway, let me start. I'm quite sick right now but I've been trying to sleep for 3 hours already, no luck so far. My head is starting to hurt from too much thinking. Therefore I'll try to write down thoughts, and this mostly covers a review of the year that passed.

Honestly, 2009 went by so quickly. It's one of the fastest, if not the fastest one that I've had thus far. It seems just like a few months extension of 2008. Not that it was bad. Actually it was a very blessed year to tell the truth. I feel that I received a lot of things that I didn't even ask for, and for that I'm very thankful and humbled. But I guess that's the reason why it went by so quickly. Though it wasn't exactly smooth sailing, there was relatively minimal conflict. My life was, should I say 'simple', for 2009. I've never been really used to this kind of life, the 'I ask for it, and I get it' type. I'm not saying that I've been having it ridiculously easy. But I can say that, compared to the previous years, I was able to get the things that I needed without too much fuss. But somehow, even though it's been breezy, I still feel that I'm missing out on a lot. I'm not sure how to place it, but when I attended one of our office meetings, our big boss hit it right smack: "Satisfaction, at some point, will eventually lead to discontent". In other words, just keep exploring what's out there. Satisfaction is good, but it's not constant. I couldn't agree more.

What I'm saying is, I'm not used to this kind of lifestyle. For a while it was all good, stable and secure. But I became too complacent. I guess I can say I'm the kind who doesn't mind going through the whole roller coaster struggle to get to some significant checkpoint. In short, it got boring. I'm not really asking for more, but right now I truly want something different. I guess convenience is not my thing, hehehe. I'm not asking for a TV-series worthy life but I'm getting tired of this on going safe, predictable routine.

So there. I think my point is, 2009 was a good stable year, no complains there. But for 2010, it's time to be more adventurous in many aspects of life, and I think I'm quite ready to be more risky. Go go go!!! Wow, I'm loving 2010 already!

Good luck to everyone, wish you all the best for 2010! Happy New Year! :)

The sweetest blessing that I got for 2009:

Cool huh? ; )

Kamusta naman?

So... Nawiwindang na naman ako therefore I have to review my progress to date in relation to my last "Ang mga plano ko" mode entries.

Starting off lightly, I just came back from my vacation. Being the person that I am, I won't pretend that I had a hyper super ecstatic fun time. But I did enjoy the vacation, not as hectic as my previous out-of-town trips. It was a go with the flow type of travel, chillax chillax mode lang. I didn't bother myself with OC-OC itineraries. I just wanted to spend time with my parents and act like their little girl once more, just tagging alongside them on a family trip, listening to my parents and relatives talk about our cool family heritage. So yep, almost five days worth of joyrides by land, sea and air. It was really... I guess nice is the perfect word, high quality type of nice. :)

When we passed by Iligan in Lanao del Norte, I saw the gigantic plants there. And I had to cry, literally. There were various sorts of plants, cement, steel, energy... etc. It hit me really hard, tears were welling up, I couldn't help it. Honestly, at this point I'm not really sure about myself and my willpower. I know how much is at stake if I really go through with my plans. It would really require a high magnitude leap of faith. I'm scared. Pushing through with it will mean risking our family's stability, security and my car. But not pursuing it will leave me forever asking a huge "What if?". I don't know anymore. Right now what my heart feels is this: Sadness and some sort of longing or maybe even envy every time I see those vast areas with gargantuan metal and concrete equipment; and a feeling that I'm spending so much time on something that I have very little passion for.

Ok, feel ko na mag-Tagalog...

Madalas iniisip ko sana sobrang mukha na lang akong pera, edi tapos na sana ang kalituhan ko. Kaso medyo mukhang pera lang ako e. Yung tipong, ok lang naman sa akin hindi ako sobrang makwarta basta masaya naman sa buhay. Pero mahirap talaga yung inaasahan ka ng pamilya, bawal maging makasarili, pag naghirap kasi ako ibig sabihin maghihirap din sila. Saka masaya naman kasi ako tuwing masaya sila kaya kaya pa sa ngayon. Hay, di ko lang alam kung ganito pa din pagkatapos ng isang taon. Dumadami pa naman yung nag-uudyok sa akin na yakapin na ang pagiging inhinyera ko. Sa ngayon, naka-on hold muna pag-enroll ko sa Masters. Tutal binabayaran ko pa naman sasakyan, no hurries baga. Pero pag next sem hindi pa din ako kumilos, aba iba na yon. re-evaluate na naman ulit ng buhay dapat.

Therefore, ayun. Wala pa naman akong masyadong progress sa orig na mga plano ko. Pero may bago akong pinasok, plug ko na din. Natuwa ako ng lubos sa Punong, yung fish pond ng pamilya namin sa province. Ang laki-laki! Alam ko namang 7 hectares siya, pero wala naman kasi akong idea kung ano yung physical na itsura ng pitong ektarya noh. Ayun, mag-i-invest ako dun sa next na cycle. Sana matuloy, sobrang excited ko na nga e!

Good luck good luck na lang. Review ulit ng buhay pag nasa mood. :D

Buhay Checklist

Sige, since nawiwindang at naiinip ako at hindi na talaga ako mapakali, gagawa ako ng checklist ng kung ano ba talagang gusto ko sa buhay:

1.) Bili ng kotse - Check
2.) Matapos bayaran ang kotse
3.) Pero habang pinagtratrabahuhan ang pambayad sa minamahal kong sasakyan, bawal magsayang ng oras kaya dapat magsimula na ako sa PAGMAMASTERALS ko. Sa ngayon, I'm thinking EnE...
4.).) Makapagshift ng career sa trabaho na sa tingin ko ay mas fulfilling at mas mae-enjoy ko
*Warning to self: Liliit ang sweldo mo, maghanda ka na, para hindi naman kawawa si family
5.) Masubukan makapagtrabaho at tumira sa iba't ibang bansa, sana naman magamit ko ang mga inaral ko
6.) Kapartner ng 5 ang travel the whole world drama
8.) Somewhere sa gitna ng 5 at 6, gusto kong maging tambay ng medyo matagal, mga 1 to 2 months at least pwede na. Hindi ako magttrabaho, hindi ako maghahanap ng trabaho, tunganga mode lang. Tambay nga.
7.) Dapat magawa ko ang 1 to 6 sa madaling panahon para pwede na akong mainlab nang hindi masyadong iniisip na baka makahadlang lang ito sa mga pangarap ko sa buhay
8.) Mainlab, mag-asawa, at maging nanay. Sana yung magiging asawa ko magaling sa buhay para kung maisipan ko mag-housewife lang, kering keri.

Ayun, syempre nasa huli talaga ng listahan ko ang love life. Ganun talaga, hindi pa siya kasama sa short term plans ko. Life muna. Hay sana matupad ko tong lahat ng to.

Point to Point

One year since my last post eh? Well, what do I have to show for myself since? I'll try to bulletize it first. Since April I have:

- "Broken up" with my former giant loser of a boy... whatever he was. He was one persistent son of a bitch, and just couldn't stop getting in touch and "staying friends" with me. Well, after a few runs of "Kelangan ko ng space" dramas, we're finally no longer in contact at all, which is of my own doing (wrote him an email, almost begging him to burn whatever bridge is still left between us). Well, I guess that really was the last wish and only thing that he could do for me after everything that happened in between.
- In the midst of that loveshit flurry, I did what I always do when I'm about to breakdown. I hibernate while looking for some drastic form of escape, not the destructive kind. In this case, I tried to look for a job in another company. Back then I thought that by doing this, I can just leave everything behind then start fresh as when I just got out of college. What came out of my jobhunt? Later...
- Still in the middle, someone else came along. This one is really hard to crack. He was the total opposite of my "ex". He's a quiet, reserved, simple, good-natured guy, too nice actually. You won't find a trace of malice in him (well, at first I guess). But since I was so intrigued by his odd square mystery, I exerted effort in getting to know him better. I figured, nobody can be that nice? He must still be human and must have some annoying quirks somehow. Curiouser and curiouser... Then guess what? I fell so in like with him, oh stupid me! How tragic. He was indeed nice, and also funny, smart and did I mention that he was also tall, dark, not so bad-looking, and quite athletic as well? Exactly my type, I'm dumbfounded. But as I said, he didn't have an ounce of flirt in his body. Every cute thing that he does, I can easily dismiss as "being nice". So in essence we remain, what you call that wretched term for platonic relationships? Aaaahhh, friends. Amen to that. No regrets though, it always make me smile when I think of him (fine, maybe 10 grams of disappointment also weighs in).
- Ah yes, so I've tackled my so called lovelife in the best brief way I can. Let's move on with the rest of the year. Hmmm... This did not have that strenuous impact on me but I have to let it out. It's just that I saw so much of my relatives!!! It was not normal anymore! There was a period when Saturdays and Sundays were spent with them for weeks on end. Oh my God, what a frenzy. It's actually a good thing, helped me forget about my heartache and my stress at work. But eventually it became too much, at least for me, a person who loves my quiet solitary time. It later died down though, after the last family wedding I think around January. The pace is now normal. Settled.
- And of course, the biggest change during the year! As I said, I applied in other companies. I quickly had some offers. But the one company that I was really anxious for a feedback took some time to get in touch with me. Yes, they did get in touch after a few months. This was the first time that I really demanded and negotiated for a fat paycheck. I signed on the day that I was offered. But apparently, I was told that I still had a relatively bad deal, they said I could've gotten heftier perks if I only asked for it, ::twak:: me. But well, everything was done. I contemplated on backing out since it seems that I was being shortchanged. Thank goodness, I did not do that, else I would've gotten the most pitiful career state among everyone. So yes, I finally moved to a new company.

(Losing the bullets...)

So this is my current state. My pay is good, and work is easy, a bit too easy to tell the truth. I have now the time and resources for other things in life. I've gotten a few money-munching hobbies. I'm saving up for a car (about two months more and I'm set), am able to buy my "necessities", and still able to provide for my family. Looks like I'm a very lucky overpaid biatch, so sue me.

Now, I am almost everything that my parents wants me to be, a successful and beautiful(bite me) cosmopolitan young woman (thank you Ara Mina, Aubrey Miles and Angel Locsin). Earning more than what I essentially need at this stage in life. I should be satisfied right? Yes I should. But unfortunately, I'm not. Before I entered into the work force, I knew exactly what industry I wouldn't want to venture. So, here I am in the heart of that field, in a company that boasts of that very industry. I'm here now because I needed a good job back then, you know, those twist of fate thingies. We were not doing very well financially and I still had a brother who was still in college. That was the obvious solution to our woes. I gave in, thinking that maybe I'll learn to love the work, sitting in front of the computer most of the day, working 9 hours, 5 days a week in the office. Well, honestly I did learn to appreciate it despite my heart's initial resistance. At some point, I think I even liked it, seriously. It improved the logic that was already built in my brain. But still, there's this feeling, constantly at the back of my heart and my head. Nudging me now and again, and lately really smacking me that this just isn't it. I can't fathom the thought of doing this job for a very long time. It's good, it helps in making people's lives better, but it's also not for me. I've always known that I don't want an 8-5 office work. And in this industry that I'm in, the products are all very intangible, a huge contrast to the course that I took up in school. I really wanted to be on the field, going out and about, feeling the sun on my skin and the sweat on my forehead (though maybe not all the time). Point is, I wanted a more physical work and products that I can see without looking at a computer monitor. Or service that doesn't require logging in to some system then racking my brain while navigating codes. I'm not really sure what I want but I'll start with my roots and then go from there. Anyway, the thought of wearing protective gear really excites me, so that's a good sign right?

I am aware that it's totally ridiculous to let go of my jackpot-ish job right now. So I won't. But I will take advantage of the "perks" that I'm getting from it. I don't do shifting and has no weekend work (at least for now). My office is in Quezon City, almost along Katipunan. And most importantly, I have a healthy paycheck. I plan to keep these blessings for as long as I can. So how will I utilize these? I plan to go back to school and take up masteral studies. It would be a very difficult feat which would require a some level of preparation, especially now that it's been almost two years since board exams and the nature of my work is far from related to my course. I also know that somewhere along my supposed studies, I'll have to give up work and totally shift careers. Thus, financial prep is also required since I know that starting salaries for my next job won't be as high as my current one.

This is not an overnight decision, I've thought about this for months now and gathered as much reality check as my heart can take. I also admit that I'm still in the process of psyching myself for my impending lifestyle change. But to tell you the truth, the thought of the challenge inspires me. Or maybe it's my masochistic persona in the works. But this is the only way that I can think of to smoothly ease in to the career transition that I plan to execute.

Nonetheless, I'm very satisfied with my plans. And if I do get to pull through all of this, I'll give myself a huge slap on the back! Also, like my bestfriend said, I might even be more receptive to the that thing called romance once I clear my life plans. I do want to settle down as well once I've gotten myself all figured out. Well, so far these are all still in the works, whatever moral support you'll offer me, I'll accept. Let's see, let's see.

Wish me luck please! *crossing fingers* :)

Uh oh...

I miss my heartbeat...










...for you.

Umuusok na Maundy Thursday

KABOOM!!! Nasa kwarto ako nun sa condo. Nagising ako dun sa pagsabog. Tapos... tapos... natulog ako. Uieeeoooeuieeeooo!!! Nagising na naman ako kasi ang ingay ng mga sirena. Maya-maya... natulog ulet ako. Pero dahil ako ay ako, hindi rin ako talagang nakatulog nang tuluyan, paikut-ikot lang sa kama. Hanggang sa tinawag ako ni Ludivine, "Maita...". Nun, medyo nagkaroon na ako ng ulirat at sumagot ako, "ano yun? ano nangyayari?", may konting pagpapanggap kasi inaantok pa ako. Sumilip kami sa bintana at aba, hindi na biro, nagtatakbuhan na ang maraming mga tao sa kalsada, may dala-dalang appliances at kung anu-anong gamit. At kasama nila, may mga limang trak ng bumbero na nakaparada sa kanto ng Vito Cruz at Pasong Tamo (este, Chino Roces pala, sori naman). Syempre pagkakita ko nun, tayo na ako agad, sabi ko nuod kami TV sa sala para makita kung ano yung nasusunog. But no! Today is a Maundy Thursday, therefore, walang palabas sa local TV!!!

Lumabas na din si Vida, Joan, at nagising na si, si, si Queenie (medyo nahirapan ako alalahanin pangalan niya a). Tapos ayun, konting balitaktakan na may kasamang excitement, takot ang kung anu-ano pa, mga 5 mins yun. Naisip na din namin bumaba at tingnan kung saan nagaganap yung sunog. Yan na, sakay ng elevator papuntang PL. Paglabas ng elevator, WHOA, Pot@n*nech! Parang may isang pader ng sumasayaw na apoy sa ibabaw ng pader ng likod ng Kingswood, mind you, hindi lang ito usok kundi apoy!!! Josko, nasusunog pala yung squatter's area sa likod ng condo! Yun yung tipong akala ko hanggang sa special effects lang sa TV ko mapapanood. Na-amaze talaga kami lahat grabe at pinanood namin yung umaatikabong palabas na yun sandali.

Lumabas kami para tingnan kung san yun sakto, kasi yung iba nga sa amin gaya ko, ni hindi man alam na may squatter's dun. Iba-iba reaksyon namin:

Joan: sobrang excited, kulang na lang samahan niya yung mga bumbero sa loob ng sunog
Weenie/Queenie, watever: Mega panic, gusto na mag-alsabalutan at umuwi sa Pampanga
Ludivine: As usual, hindi ko ma-gets, parang nag-aalala, na hindi naman talaga, na natatakot, na hindi rin naman, ewan! May ka-text siya
Ako: Mejo not enough vitamins, sunod lang ako ng sunod sa kanila kasi ayoko lang mahuli sa balita. Minsan magsasabi ako ng kung anu-ano para "in" ako sa usapan. Pero sa totoo lang, gusto ko na umakyat at matulog. Naisip ko din, buti na lang walang news kundi tapos ang maliligayang araw ko sa condo.
Vida: Feeling ko parang ako din.

Pero yun, dahil nakashort shorts ako, at sila naman ay nakapantulog lang din, bumalik na kami sa condo. Tumambay sa PL, kahit na hindi ko magets kung baket namin ginagawa yun, samantalang wala naman nang ibang mangyayari. Nauusukan lang kami kasi napupulaan na rin yung apoy. Pero sabi ko nga, ayoko mahuli sa balita kaya nakisabit na lang. Umakyat na din kami. Dumiretso na ako sa kwarto, sinara ang bintana kasi mausok, naisip kong kawawa naman yung mga nawalan ng bahay ngayong Holy Week (sincere to) at natulog.

Moral Lessons:
- Ang maraming foreigner sa Kingswood ay naglalabasan pag may mga ganitong komosyon, kaya dagdag attaction na din. Pwede pwede.
- Wala akong kwenta, pag nagkaroon ng airstrike, patay ako.

Don't Waste Your Time

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…

It seems you can’t hear me
When I open my mouth you never listen
You say stay, but what does that mean
Do you think I honestly want to be reminded forever

Don’t waste your time trying to fix
What I want to erase
What I need to forget
Don’t waste your time on me my friend
Friend, what does that even mean
I don’t want your hand
You’ll only pull me down
So save your breath
Don’t waste your song
On me, on me
Don’t waste your time

It’s not easy not answering
Every time I want to talk to you
But I can’t
If you only knew the hell I put myself through
Replaying memories in my head of you and I
Every night

Don’t waste your time trying to fix
What I want to erase
What I need to forget
Don’t waste your time on me my friend
Friend, what does that even mean
I don’t want your hand
You’ll only pull me down
So save your breath
Don’t waste your song
On me, on me
Don’t waste your time

You’re callin’
You’re talkin’
You’re tryin’
Tryin’ to get in
But it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
Friend

Don’t waste your time trying to fix it
So save your breath, don’t waste your song
On me, on me
Don’t waste your time

You held me
You felt me
You left me
But it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
You touched me
You had me
But it’s over, it’s over, it’s over my friend
Don’t waste my time

--Kelly Clarkson

Are you amnesia?

Napansin ko na naging sobrang makakalimutin ko na nitong mga nakaraang linggo. Sa sobrang makakalimutin ko ay:

- Pag bumubunot ako ng panyo ko sa bulsa ng jacket ko na iniiwan ko sa opisina, mapapagalaman ko na may apat na panyo na ang nandun
- Nung isang beses, sumakay na ako sa tricycle at nasa may bungad na kami nang mapagtanto ko na naiwan ko pala wallet ko sa bahay, pinabalik ko pa ulet yung trike sa bahay
- Lagi na lang bukas ang trolley ko pagdating ko sa office, nakakalimutan ko kasi ikandado
- Pagpasok ko isang araw, natakot ako kasi wala sa trolley ko yung PC ko, at nung hinanap ko, nakakalat lang siya dun sa lapag sa isang sulok ng area namen sa opisina, putek
- May gamot kasi akong gamit ngayon at kaninang umaga, sa sobrang makakalimutin ko, tatlong beses ko siyang ininom kasi nakakalimutan kong nainom ko na pala siya, dapat isa lang
- Lagi na lang ako tumatawag sa office para sabihin na pakihanap at pakitabi yung charger o headset ko kasi naiwan ko na naman

Malamang may mga iba pa e, hindi ko lang maalala.

Masyado nang madalas ito, e hindi naman ako ganito dati. Bakit kaya?

Aktres ka hija! Aktres!

QTT with friends

Friday:

Kasama ko si Allan, Ane, Erma, Shally, Pame at Waquer. Dinner sa Cubao, o diba sosyal? Pero hindi, sobrang ayos yung kinainan namin, sa Butter Diner sa building ng Shopwise, sulit at masarap kahit medyo may kamahalan. :D Tapos nag Timezone hanggang mga 11:30, saya, kakaadik!

Sunday:

Pagkatapos ng trabaho, dumiretso ako kina Angel tapos nagdaldalan lang hanggang sa magsawa. Tulog nang sobrang tagal.

Monday:

Sinamahan ko si Mama sa clinic sa Galleria, tapos shopping then ate dinner. Kumain ulit, naglibut-libot at nag-kape kasama naman si Louie. Tapos kwentuhan hanggang sa magsara na yung mga tindahan sa paligid.

Ang saya, sobrang quality time talaga with friends. Sa uulitin! :D

Excerpt

OO, buhay ako.

Full blown na ang work load ng team namin. Warafrigginsheeeet. Ang hirap, nakakapagod, halos wala nang panahon para sa break, demanding ang mga tangang mga taong pinagsisilbihan namin. Sana gawan ito ng paraan ni bossing. Kagabi lang napa-OT ako ng mga 1 1/2 oras kasi kahit na pwede na namin ipasa sa kasunod naming mga tao ang trabaho, ang hirap kapag ikaw na nagsimula kasi alam na alam mo na kung ano ang nangyayari. At tatlo pa kami sa lagay na yun a, e darating pa naman ang panahong dalawa na lang. Wala nang pansinan yun. Buti na lang mahaba ang off ko, halos apat na araw, makakapagpahinga naman. Hay, sana dumating na yung mga dagdag na mga tao. Baka maubusan na ako ng lakas. Pero matagal na matagal pa yun kasi matagal ang training at kung anu-ano pa.

Pero sa kabila ng mga reklamo kong ito, masaya naman ako. Ang saya ng may trabaho na, hindi ka na nga humihingi ng baon, nakakatulong ka pa sa bahay. Mas may laya din na maglamyerda kasi mas may laya na din ang pitaka. Ang dami ko din natututunan, parang hindi kami nauubusan ng mga bagong kaalaman.

Masaya din kasama ang mga katrabaho ko, nagkakasundo talaga kami mula trabaho hanggang sa kalokohan. Puro masisipag din lahat kaya hindi naman gaano nagkakaproblema sa ganong aspeto ng trabaho. Pag nagalalakwatsa kami wala na kaming ginawa kung magtawanan at maggaguhan. Umpisa pa lang naman enjoy na talaga ako kasi puro sila kalog. Aylabdemol.

Kapag medyo hindi na ako naninibago sa trabaho, maghahanap pa ako ng ibang magpagkakaabalahan ng panahon maliban sa opisina. Pero sa ngayon pagbubutihan ko muna ang ginagawa ko.

Buhay buhay.

Plant Design atbp.

Hindi ko pa man nakakalimutan yung dusang dinanas ko sa paggawa ng plant design namin, e eto na naman ang isang pahirap sa buhay. Bad trip, ayoko na talaga. Ni hindi pa man gumagaling yung sakit ng likod at balikat na natamo ko sa mahigit na dalawang linggong pagpapaikot-ikot at pagpindot ng mouse at pag-iisip sa harap ng computer. Leche, ang sakit talaga, lam mo yun, para akong sinaksak sa me balikat, ang hapdi. Yung plant design na yun talaga ang rurok ng lahat ng mga hirap sa buong buhay ko sa kolehiyo. Tumira kami ng mga kagrupo ko sa iisang bahay sa loob ng mmahigit na dalawang linggo. Nung umpisa mejo buo pa ang pananalig namin na matatapos namin siya bago ang pasahan ng grades. Pero habang lumilipas ang mga araw, napapagtanto na namin ang realidad na hinding hindi mangyayari yun. Kaso, wala naman kaming magawa kaya tuloy pa rin kami sa pagtrabaho. Impyerno talaga ang paggawa. Bukod sa napakainit na dahil sa summer, kami rin ay unti-unti nang umiinit ang mga ulo dahil pakiramdam namin wala nang katapusan ang ginagawa namin. Kakaiba na talaga, pati pamamaraan namin ng pag-uusap kakaiba na rin, lam niyo yun, me halo nang kawalan ng pasensya. Lumalabas lang kami para kumain ng panandalian o kaya man magpasa ng mga natapos na sa adviser namin. Ang adviser namin...haaay...isa siyang...tsk tsk tsk...ayoko nang magsalita. Magaling siya pero WAG NA WAG niyo siyang kukunin na adviser sa plant design kung ayaw niyong magpakamatay.

Balik sa kwento. Yun na nga, minsan nagkakasya lang kami sa isang latang sardinas. Por Dios! Isang lata para sa limang tao! Pero yung malaki naman, hehehe. Pero halos hindi nga kami kumakain ng sardinas sa bahay e at konti pa rin ang laman nun para sa aming lahat! Terible talaga.

Ganito ang ekesena sa pang-araw-araw, hindi rin naman kami nagkakalayo ng mga ginagawa e:
1.)Gising
2.)On ng computer
3.)Gawa na ng kung anuman
4.)Kain sandali (Minsan nakakalimutan pa, lalo na ang agahan)
5.)Trabaho ulit
6.)Kain sandali
7.)Nuod KIM SAM SOON, ang tanging palabas na napapanood namin ni Erma at Iche
8.)Trabaho hangga't kaya
9.)Tulog

Mukang hindi naman masyado mahirap? Ha! Pag yan ginawa mo ng mahigit dalawang linggo, nakakalokang tunay. E pano pag weekends, edi walang KIM SAM SOON? Siya na nga! At sobrang kakarampot lang ng oras na nilalaan namin sa pagkain kumpara sa oras na ginagamit namin sa paggawa noh. Maaga na rin pag natulog kami ng alas-dose o ala-una.
Hay, iniisip ko lang ang mga pangyayari e napapagod na ako.

May kanya-kanya rin kaming pagkakataon na dumating na sa puntong pinanghihinaan na kami ng loob, at luluha na lang kami ng basta, e ano pa nga bang magagawa namin? Ala nga namang basagin namin yung mga gamit dun e hindi naman namin bahay yun? Kaya ayun, iiyak na lang ang sama ng loob. Nung mga bandang dulo na, sadyang nagkakasawaan na talaga kami, tipong sinasabihan na namin ang isa't isa na wag muna kaming magkikita nang matagal na panahon kasi nakakasuka na, medyo biro na medyo totoo. Kakaiba na talaga ang timpla ng mga ulo namin nun, para na kaming tunay na magkakapatid kung mag-usap. Mabuti? Hindi! Yung tipong pag-uusap ng magkakapatid na halos wala nang pakialam kung nakakasakit dahil sanay na, ganon. Pero ayun nga, dahil sanay na kami wala na kaming pakiramdam sa mga ganong hiritan.

Para sa akin, ang pinakamalalang nangyari ay nung dumating ang mga kabarkada naming ayos na ayos ang mga mukha't pananamit samantalang kami ay wala pang suklay, ligo at kain. Patapos na kami nun e. Edi ayun, nandun sila at nilalaro nila yung asong hindi man talaga pumupunta dun sa pinatatrabahuhan namin. Mukhang naging masyado siyang masaya siya sa pakikipaglaro sa kanila kaya pati yung kordon ng kuyente pinagtripan, dalawang beses niya hinugot yung saksakan. Ang resulta? Nag-crash lang naman PC ko, naglaho lahat ng files ko sa buong taon, ang mga files na pinakaimportante sa college life ko. Lahat lahat. At siyempre kasama na dun yung pipings na ginawa kong ng tatlong araw. Pinakuha ko na lang sa tatay ko yung computer. Para akong nagtemporary insanity nung gabing yun, hindi ko na magawang umiyak sa halip, parang ang saya saya ko at pinagkukukulit ko ang mga tao at maya maya natulog na lang ako. Pagkagising, isang buong araw pa ulit ang ginugol ko sa pag-ulit ng pesteng pipings na iyan. Pag-uwi ko tiningnan ko kung ano pang natira sa mga files ko. P***ng**a talaga. Pag iniisip ko lahat ng nawala parang gusto ko iuntog ang ulo ko sa pader. Umiyak na lang ako ng umiyak sa harap ng PC. Hindi ko talaga kinakaya, hanggang ngayon, pag iniisip ko siya parang ang sarap... Yun na yun, nangyari na. T*n*i*a.

Pero kahit na sa pangkabuuang tanaw, isa talagang kalbaryo ang dumapo sa amin, marami rin namang mabuti at masayang alaalang napulot. Nakakatuwa sa kung paanong sa mga simpleng pamamaraan ay napapasaya namin ang isa't isa. Nagkakantahan kami, nagbibiruan, nagaalaskahan at kung anu-ano pa. Ang abnormal kasi naming lahat e, limang mga wirdong tao na pinagsama-sama sa iisang bahay. Siguro kasi mababaw rin naman ang kaligayahan naming lahat kaya nagkakasundo kami sa kalokohan. Paborito ko pag kinakanta na namin ang Moments of Love na sisimulan sa "dudududu dudu dududududududu dudududu du, moments of love..." at yung "coz i had a bad day, choba choba..." as in ganung lyrics ang kinakanta namin, hindi kasi namin alam kasunod e. Minsan tsismisan grande, pag-usapan ang mga tao-tao at madalas nakakabuo na kami ng kung anu-anong kwento kutsero kasi ginagawan namin sila nga mga script sa buhay, syempre paborito namin gawan ng istorya ang adviser namin, hehehe. Meron din kaming kanya-kanyang sinusubaybayang palabas na nagbibigay din ng panandaliang saya, ako, si Erma at Iche, Kim Sam Soon, si Lui, A.I. at Encantadia, si Raissa naman, Naruto.

Minsan naman may mga bisita kami. Masaya kapag magulang ang bumibisita sa amin kasi ibig sabihin makakakain kami ng matino kaya nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa mga magulang ko, ni Iche at nanay ni Erma. Ang saya nga e, nung isang beses, dahil sa sobrang kahabagan, nilibre kami ng mga magulang ni Iche sa Kamay-Kainan, buffet, ang sarap!!! Nung mga panahong yun para kaming hindi nakaranas ng pagkain sa restaurant sa buong buhay namin, pagpasok namin para kaming mga batang abot-tenga ang mga ngiti sa sobrang pananabik. Ang sarap! Ang saya! Minsan naman pinupuntahan din kami ni Hans at RJ para dalhan ng pagkain kaya salamat din sa kanila. Salamat din sa mga dyosa sa pagbisita kahit na na-excite talaga yung aso sa pagdating nila at pinagtripan tuloy yung kable. Salamat din sa lahat ng nagbigay ng moral support tulad ng mga orgmates namin at lalo na sa mga CO-EC namin. Sa isang banda, natutuwa ako dahil sa suporta, tulong at kawang-gawang nakamit namin habang gumagawa kami. Nakakatuwa talaga na nagawa naming malampasan yung pagsubok na yun kahit na umaabot na talaga kami sa mga limitasyon namin. Sobrang nagpapasalamat din ako dahil buti na lang kasundo ko ang mga kasama ko sa bahay na iyon, pakiramdam ko tuloy sobrang magkakalapit na kami sa isa't isa. Ayoko nang maulit pa ito kahit kelan pero laking pasasalamat ko na kayo ang kasama ko at mami-miss ko talaga kayo Iche, Erma, Louie at Raissa.

April 19, 2006

Ngayon, wala na akong kahit anong dapat gawin kundi hintayin ang graduation, kaya naglinis muna ako ng mailbox. Sa paghahalughog, nahanap ko tong tulang ito, paborito ko to dati e. Eto yung tinula ko sa klase nung 4th year high school sa Pinoy, kabisado ko pa nga ito noon e. Ang ganda, ang lungkot.



Dahong Lagas

Namamalas mo bang ang dahong nalagas,
Laruan ng hangin sa gitna ng landas,
Kung minsan sa iyong kamay ay mapadpad
Gaya ng paglapit ng kawawang palad?

Ako ay ganyan din, balang araw,irog,
Kung humahagibis ang bagyo at unos
Kagaya ay dahon sa gabing malungkot,
Ako sa piling mo'y ihahatid ng Diyos.

Naririnig mo ba ang munting kuliglig
Na sa hatinggabi'y mag-isa sa lamig,
At sa bintana mo'y awit din nang awit
Ng nagdaang araw ng sawing pag-ibig?

Ako man ay ganyan din, darating ang araw
Na kung ako'y iyong sadyang nalimutan,
Ang kaluluwa ko'y ikaw'y lalapitan
At sa hatinggabi'y payapang hahagkan.

Paghihip ng hangin, pagguhit ng kidlat,
Kung ang hangi't ulan ay napakalakas,
Kagaya ng dahon sa iyo'y papadpad,
Gaya ng kuliglig sa iyo'y tatawag.

At akong wala na sa iyong paningin,
Limot na ng madla't halos limot mo na rin,
Walang anu-ano sa gabing madilim,
Dahong ipapadpad sa iyo ng hangin.

Jose Corazon de Jesus

Post-Talentine

Halos buong araw ako tulog. Kasi naman, nitong linggong ito, kakarampot lang pahinga ko. Kagabi alas-dose na ako nakauwi kasi nagtangka pa akong mag-fair dahil andun HS friends ko, but no, naghahanap ako ng auto load pero pagtingin ko sa bag ko, wala cellphone ko. Hindi rin naman ako masyado nag-alala kasi nag-isip akong mabuti at naisip ko na naiwan ko siya sa sasakyan ni Iche kasi nagbihis kami dun at tinanggal ko yung cellphone ko in the process. Ayun, hindi ako natuloy, sayang. Pag-uwi ko, naramdaman ko ang matinding pagka-lobat. Dumiretso na ako sa kwarto at habang binabasa ko yung mga tula dun sa organizer ni Ate na blangko hindi ko na namalayan at nakatulog na ako sa lapag. Nagising lang ako ng mga 5:30 ng umaga kasi nananakit na likod ko at yun nga, bukas pa ilaw, patay electric fan at nakahandusay ako sa lapag. Kaya yun, umayos na ako at natulog ulit. Gumising ako ng mga alas-9 tapos sumamba. Pag-uwi ko natulog ako ulit tapos nagising ng mga pasado alas-kwatro.

Ang saya ng Talentine kagabi! Todo-bigay lahat ng batches na nag-perform, ang OT talaga ng mga KEMers! Sayang nga lang, 3rd place lang kami, hindi rin kasi kami masyado handa e. Nag-ayos lang kami mga 2 hours before. Pero maganda pa rin presentation namin, talented talaga batch namin e, 02B da best! Hehehe.

Friday night: Nag-fair kami c/o Erma. Nakakapagod siya. I suddenly remembered how I hate being amidst a place so crowded with people. Pero syempre fair yun, nag-octopus kami, kumain, tumambay at...yun na pala yun. Konti lang yung ok na bands e, medyo disappointing. Keri lang, kasama ko naman mga friends ko at matagal-tagal na rin kaming hindi lumalabas nang magkakasama.:) Umuwi kami at around 3:30 am at kina Iche kami natulog ni Erma kasi may 142 pa kami the following day. Hay 142, 142, 142...bakit mo ba ako pinapahirapan ng gani2...Hehehe, corny. Parusa yung dinidesign kong reactor, it's going nowhere, nade-depress na ako dahil dito, leche.

Thursday night: Miting de Avance.

Wednesday: Woke up at around 4 am for the plant visit. We went to James Hardie. Highlight of the tour: 1-hour stop at Market! Market! Hehe, joke! Pero first time ko makapunta dun and first times are almost always fun.:) Pagdating sa school, I consulted with Ma'am Escoto my lostness in the liquefaction reactor. I must say that I wasn't very enlightened, huhu. I researched in Eng'g lib later and played Nerts after. I then met up with my friends, ate dinner, and entered the fair since we had free tickets c/o Anne. But I was inside for less than 30 minutes only since I was feeling very sleepy.

Tuesday night: Valentine's Day! I had a date with my single girl kabarkadas. We went to Libis for dinner, had some window shopping, and a bottle of beer. It was nice, I had a chance to catch up with them. But I had to go home early since my father picked me up at around 12:30.

Ayun.:)

Kanina, nung pauwi ako, natakot ako bigla. Pakiramdam ko kakaiba yung paligid. Nag-umpisa nung pagbaba ko sa jip sa katipunan, pakiramdam ko ang konti ng mga tao, pati na ng mga sasakyan, ni hindi man ako nahirapang tumawid. Tapos yung nasakyan kong jip kakaiba, walang konduktor tapos ang tahimik nung makina at ang dilim nung loob, tapos wala ding radyo, kinilabutan talaga ako. Basta kakaiba talaga, hindi ko rin maintindihan, tapos pati yung langit kakaiba, walang mga ulap at bituin pero parang nakakatakot yung liwanag. Bumaba ako sa Robinson's kasi magpapaprint sana ako pero ang aga nagsara nung mga tindahan, mga 8:30 pa lang naman yun. Tapos bababa sana ako sa Masinag pero naaninagan ko na sarado na rin yung mga pwede kong puntahan. Naglakad ako pauwi mula highway kasi naghahanap pa rin ako ng computer shop tapos wala na namang masyadong tao sa paligid. Dun pa sa pagpapaprintan ko sana, tokwa, ang daming nag-iinuman. Basta kakaiba ang hangin. Wirdo ko na ba? Basta natakot talaga ako kaninang pauwi samantalang nakauwi na naman ako nang di hamak na mas gabi pa. Buti na lang nasa bahay na ako, siguradong ligtas.

Anyway, mag-isa na lang ako ngayon sa baba at ayoko na magmuni-muni sa mga kawirdohan ko kanina. Last week was such a sickly week for me. Nung Wednesday hindi ako nakapasok kasi nilagnat ako, Monday pa lang hindi na oki pakiramdam ko kasi la ko gana kumain tapos ala pa ako kasabay, buti na lang kahit na late na, nakapag-lunch pa din kasi si Iche hindi pa rin pala kumakain. Pero nung Tuesday tinamad na talaga ako. Nung Thursday naman pumasok ako pero nung mga after lunch nangangati na mukha at kamay ko. Paguwi ko may mga pantal na ako. Pagkagising ko naman, wala na, iba na itsura ko, para akong nabugbog sa pamamaga. Hindi ako pumasok nung umaga kasi medyo malala talaga. Pero pumasok pa rin ako nung hapon kasi ayoko na maka-miss ng 136 namin at me 142 overnight kami kinagabihan. Ayun naman, pumasok ako nang may mga pantal sa muka at namamaga ang mata, kahindik-hindik. Pero keri lang, hindi naman na lumala. Ang salarin: palabok.

After Insaniquarium...

Nag-overnight ulit kami nung Friday para sa 142. Whew, 3 consecutive Fridays na kaming nago-overnight dito sa bahay! Pero nitong nakaraang Biyernes masaya dahil…secret…kami lang ang may alam nun…hihihi, exciting!!! Pero nung umaga nabad-trip ako sa Ate ko, sobrang inuusig niya ako, bakit lagi na lang daw kami sa bahay gumagawa. Muntik na akong umiyak nang lubos nung sinumbong ko siya kay Mama. Hindi na tuloy ako nakapag-agahan. Ayun, diretso sa skul. Oki naman yung consultation namin may memorable na ginawa si Iche nung consultation, hindi ko talaga makakalimutan yun, ang saya!!! Kinuwento ko pa nga yun kina Mama at natawa din sila. Pero pagkatapos ng consultation sobrang bangag na ako kaya umuwi na ako agad at siya nga, pag-uwi ko kumain lang ako sandali tapos nakatulog agad. Ang dali ko na naman mapagod, maybe it’s that time of the month na soon. Hehe.

Nagkaroon ako ng mga sugat sa wrists ko dahil dun sa liquid na ini-extract namin, may blisters na siya at nung pinakita ko kay Mama pinagalitan pa ako, kesyo magpepeklat na daw yun ekek. At ang exag ha, magjacket daw ako sa lab, yung tipong balut na balot talaga para hindi daw ako madampian nung asido. Pero magla-lab gown na ako this week para mas safe naman. Nakakabangag tumambay sa lab habang kumukulo yung mga mixture, puro ethanol na nalalanghap namin. Lagi tuloy akong bagsak pag-uwi sa bahay.

In furnace, tumira kami sa lab this week, as in lumalabas na lang kami para kumain at pagkasara ng lab at nung nag-job fair. Pero keri lang, at least may net na sa lab at dinadala din naman ni iche laptop niya kaya nakakagawa rin kami ng ibang mga bagay. Hindi kami makakapag-lab for two days kasi may gagamit ng work area namin kaya kelangang gumawa muna ng ibang bagay. Mami-miss kita lab!!! Yak, ang baduy, wahaha!!!

Gusto ko manood ng Kombo Kombo this Tuesday, 20 pesos lang kasi tapos 16 bands. But no!!! Plant visit sa Wednesday kaya I’m torn. Pero namimiss ko na rin kasi high school friends ko, nag-MIA na naman ako ulit e. At wala pa rin akong napupuntahan show ng deltajoy maliban sa Maskipaps. Kaso nung unang plant visit kasi kung hindi pa ako tinext ni Louie, hindi ako nagising ng maaga kahit na nag-alarm ako, hindi na nga ako nakapag-shampoo nun sa sobrang madali e. Baka ngayon maiwanan na ako nang tuluyan pag pumunta pa ako dun sa gig. Bahala na, depende sa mood. If ever pumunta ako, hindi na lang ako iinom ng anything alcoholic o kaya man hindi na talaga ako matutulog para siguradong hindi ako ma-late. Ewan.

Napupuyat ako sa insaniquarium na ito a. Pero kanina habang naglalaro, ang dami kong napulot na aral. Hindi kelangan maraming-marami ang isda, oki na yung hindi masyado puno ng guppies yung tank pero kayang buhayin ang mga carnivores at ultracarnivores. Ika nga ni Erma, “law of diminishing marginal returns”, ayos na ang hindi masyado marami basta yung matitira ay productive at abot pa rin naman sa target ang nagagawa. Kaso syempre kelangan ingatan yung konting natitirang yun. Nakakainis pag bumibili ako ng pagkamahal-mahal na ultra-carnivore tapos miminsan lang na papatayin ng mga epal na aliens na yan, dead ang 10,000 dollars ko, minsan tatlo pa silang mamamatay sa isahang tirahan lang, 30,000 dollars na yun!!! hmp!!! Pero syempre hindi rin naman dapat pabayaang basta-basta na lang mamatay yung mga guppies, kahit minsan hindi talaga kinakaya ng powers na mapakain ang lahat, dapat pa ring gawin lahat para maalagaan sila. Hokei, ang OA ko na, insaniquarium lang ‘to. Pero aliw noh?

Tinatamad ako pumunta sa *tooooooooot*, kaso saying sa pera at lahat ata pupunta. Wateber, na-K-KJ mode na ako e. Pag iniisip ko kasi nakakatamd mag-prepare and stuff. Hehe, what a viscious cycle. Bahala na, kung may willing na pumalit sa slot ko oki lang na hindi ako pumunta. Pucha, ang corny ko, pero nakakasawa na kasi.

Haha, kamusta naman sa horoscope ko for today, so appropriate:

The stars are telling you that it's time to get out of a rut. The best way to do that? Take off for parts unknown as soon as you can. If you can't get out of town, explore a new neighborhood or see a foreign film.

Why not?!

You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song it's meant to keep you
From doing what you're supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, hala ka ukulele
Mama made a baby
I really don't mind the practice
Because you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me
Because I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains

Pretend like there's no world outside
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Can't you see, can't you see
Rain all day and I don't mind

Telephone singing, ringing, it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
It's just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, wake up slow

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song it's meant to keep you
From doing what you're supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really really really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see
We've got to wake up slow

Random Random

Kakainactive lang ng nonstop ko sa globe. I love globe! Ay, anlabo nun a. Anyway. Kaninang umaga nagpunta kami ni Erma sa Antipolo para maghanap ng kasoy shells para sa 136. Ang mahal ng pamasahe galing masinag a, 15 pesos for a jeepney ride up! Pero nag-enjoy naman ako sa biyahe, so reminiscent of going up to Baguio minus the very cold weather and painful butt from the long trip. Ayun, ang ganda naman ng view, second time ko pa lang kasi nakaakyat dun, una yung nagparehistro ako para sa eleksyon.

Pag dating ko dun, dumiretso ko sa McDo. Kaso late na pala nakaalis ng bahay si Erma kaya naghintay muna ako. Kaya tada! Ilabas ang Ang Pao ng McDo! Nakapaglunch ako for 25 pesos, nyaknyaknyak! Pagdating ni Erma, nagtanong na kami kung saan nakakakuha ng balat ng kasuy. Buti na lang super helpful nung isang ale at mega inalalay niya kami sa paghanap, tinawagan niya pa yung bagsakan/lutuan ng kasuy at hinanap niya kami ng trike na marunong pumunta dun. Pagdating namin dun, me nakausap kaming isang mama, sabi niya ubos na daw yung balat kasi hinakot na siya kahapon at nanlulumo na kami. Pero kakaiba kasi naaaninag naman namin yung saku-sakong parang pakiramdam namin ay balat dun sa may bandang sulok. Buti na lang naisipan niyang tanungin yung parang amo at yun na, lasing pala yung manong na nakausap namin! Asus! Tanghaling tapat lasing, tama ba yun!? In furnace, sobrang namumula yung mata niya kaya hindi naman nakakapagtaka. At siya na nga, hindi kami nagkamali, yung mga sako ay puno ng cashew nut shells! Jackpot! Hehe, babaw. Ang saya, feeling plant visit, andun din yung lutuan. Picture picture pa kami ni Erma dun no, syempre dapat may ebidensya, hahaha! Bumili kami ng sampung kilo. Ang bait din nung ale dun. Nakakatuwa kasi ambabait ng mga taong nakausap namin. Ambabait pala ng mga tao sa Antipolo, hehe. At nung pauwi na kami nakakatuwa kasi parang sikat na ang CNS sa pagkakaroon ng asido kahit na mga karaniwang tao lang alam nila yun, astig. Bago kami sumakay bumili ako ng suman, si Erma bumili ng kalamay bago kami pumunta sa biyakan. Kaso sana bumili din ako ng kalamay kasi yun pala yung mas gusto ni Mama, umarya na naman kasi ang kakuriputan ko e. Ang saya, hindi kami nabigo sa pagpunta namin dun. Bow.

Pag-uwi ko naabutan ko pa yung laban ni Pacquiao. Ang galing, nanalo siya!!! Mabuhay!

Tapos nun, gumawa na akong ng mga assignments, app forms. Yada yada yada. Fast forward.

Syempre, hindi ko pwedeng i-miss ang TV night ko, Joey-Fran-Will and Grace-F combo ito. Nakakainis yung F, parang naiiyak na ako nung pinapanood ko siya kanina lalo na dun sa night life segment. Hay, miss ko na maglakwatsa. Ngayon kasi ang depinisyon ko na ata ng gimik ay plant visit! Napaka-geeky. Pero oki lang rin, mami-miss ko din to after grad (ata). At masaya naman ako sa mga topics namin sa 136 at 142 kahit haggaran talaga. At saka feeling ko super close na kami ng grupmates ko, si Raissa, Lui, Iche at Erma. Special mention ke Erma at Iche kasi si Iche sa 190 lang naiba, si Erma naman talagang mega block-mate ko this sem sabay magka-way pa kami pauwi kaya ewan ko na lang.

Lapit na matapos term namin, sadness. Super mami-miss ko EC-mates ko. Pero aasikasuhin ko muna Talentine. Dapat masaya! Kasi wala akong Valentine's date, nyaknyaknyak ulit.

Kakaiba, hindi pa ako inaantok. Minamahal ko na si Jack Johnson, ang soothing ng mga songs niya, parang John Meyer na Coldplay na Maroon 5. Salamat sa pinsan ko, binigyan niya kami ng softcopy nung album e. Masyado na ata akong nasanay magpuyat. Naku, baka ma-late ako sa meeting time namin bukas sa 136, magagalit si Miss Minchin Erma. Tutulog na ako. Gud am sa lahat!!!:)



Inaudible Melodies
Jack Johnson

Brushfire fairytales 
Itsy bitsy diamond wells 
Big fat hurricanes 
Yellow bellied given names 
Well shortcuts can slow you down 
And in the end we're bound 
To rebound off of we 

Well dust off your thinking caps 
Solar powered plastic plants 
Pretty pictures of things we ate 
We are only what we hate 
But in the long run we have found 
Silent films are full of sound 
Inaudibly free 

Slow down everyone 
You're moving too fast 
Frames can't catch you when 
You're moving like that 

Inaudible melodies 
Serve narrational strategies 
Unobtrusive tones 
Help to notice nothing but the zone 
Of visual relevancy 
Frame-lines tell me what to see 
Chopping like an axe 

Or maybe Einstein should just relax 

Slow down everyone 
You're moving too fast 
Frames can't catch you when 
You're moving like that 

Well Plato's cave is full of freaks 
Demanding refunds for the things they've seen 
I wish they could believe 
In all the things that never made the screen 
And just slow down everyone 
You're moving too fast 
Frames can't catch you when 
You're moving like that 
Slow down everyone 
You're moving too fast 
Frames can't catch you when 
You're moving like that 
Moving Too.... 

Kung anu-ano lang

Hello!!! Wala lang, naghahanap lang muna ako ng outlet, nahahaggard na kasi ako e. Kahapon ang dami dami kong inisip na dapat gawin pero nakalimutan (uy, pinapatugtog ang all i have, gusto ko to e) kong may pagsamba pala ng umaga at binyag ng pamangkin ko sa hapon. Maaga ako natulog at maaga nagising pero nung ini-install ko na yung Visio, nagloloko yung burner at hindi niya mabasa. Ang tagal tagal ko sa pag-aayos sa Visio na yan, factsheet! Hindi ko rin naman naayos agad. At nagloloko rin kasi yung profile ko kaya gumawa pa ako ng bagong profile at na-OC pa ako at binutingting ko pa yung mga programs na nakuha ko ke iche nung nag-142 kami dito nung Friday. Ang dami ko nang games! Pero hindi ako masaya kasi hindi ko naman malalaro. Buti na rin nagpunta kami sa pinsan ko kasi dun ko inayos yung visio at gumana na siya pag-uwi ko. Nakakahiya nga e, eat and run ako, ang dami pa kasing gagawin e. Mukhang mas magiging haggard pa ang mga susunod na linggo, sana kayanin. Kahapon nga e, sabadong sabado hanggang 6 nasa skul pa ko, kasi naman si ma'am pagkatapos ng isang oras na consultation me pinagawa pang madami sa amin. Oki na rin, at least ayos na yun, gagawin din naman namin yun sooner or later kaya mabuting matapos na. Pero natutuwa ako kasi may pinabasa sa aking patent si Miss Minchin No.2 (aka Erma) at mukhang may future ang CNSL sa fuel additive, nyahaha! Sana magawa namin ito, syet, nae-excite ako! Marian Fidel, humanda ka! Pero mas masaya sana kung may stipend na ano? Factsheet na DOST yan!!! Hindi ko na tuloy na-claim yung gradpic ko, wahehe. Yaan mo na, makukuha ko rin yan balang araw, hindi ko rin naman masyado feel kunin e. At balita ko lumipat na ang F3 sa Recto, napaswerte ko talaga. Akala ko pa naman madali ko lang makukuha kasi sa UST lang ang kapatid ko. Hay, sana maging mas oki ang buhay ko. Akala ko pa naman masaya ang pagpasok ng taon, pero EOEA na pala agad at sobrang napagod kami dun. At lumalala rin ang sitwasyon dito sa bahay, wala na akong magawa kundi tanggapin lang ang kahit ano mang sibihin ni Mama. Pag maiksi ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot. Nalungkot pa ako sa nangyari sa kaibigan ko nung high school, putek, hindi ko pa siya natatawagan, sabi ko pa naman tatawag ako this weekend. Ang lungkot talaga, naka-relate pa kasi ako sa problema nila. Wala na akong oras para sa relaxation a. Ganito ba talaga dapat? Siguro nga, at 10 units lang ako sa lagay na ito. Pano pa kaya si Louie? Louie pasensya na kung hinahaggard ka na namin a at nakakahambalang na kami sa Memcom duties mo, kung nasan ka man ngayon, pasensya. Naku, pag nabasa 'to ng mga Miss Minchin namin(Iche at Erma), baka pagalitan ako nyan. Alert alert!!! May 126 pa! Nyahaha, ang saya pala magsulat ng ganito, walang tigil sa pagtype, sulat lang kung ano ang maisip. Ayan, wala na tuloy ako maisip. Tama na nga. Time's up. Mabuhay ang lahat ng may plant design at 136! Babay.
