I have a yucky smell!

I smell like YOSI smoke. YAAAAAAAK!!!!

Di ko kaya mag-aircon sa kotse with my smell! Ulk! Magsasayang na naman ako ng shampoo nito mamaya to wash the smell off my hair... haaaay!!!

At siyempre dapat nagtratrabaho ako ngayon... pero bakasyon mode na talaga ako...

Anyway, I came back to work earlier than I planned because our PM told me that he'd have something for me to work on before I leave... eh kaso pagkabalik ko sabi niya, OK na daw... BUTI NA LANG!

Kaya ngayon... petiks mode...

Ok work mode ulit.

Reminder to Self

GALAW GALAW KUNG AYAW MONG MASTROKE!

Taena! Kelangan ko na talaga mag-damoves kung gustong kung umakyat ng Kinabalu at bumabang di wasak... at kahit sabi nila di daw ganun kahirap...

at my fitness level... homaygeds... I'm deds!

Tama na excuses! Potaena! Bakit kasi ang galing kung gumawa ng rason.

Sabi nga ni Sir Hillary... it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves... but why am I super strong?!?!? Super strong sa katamaran! PAKDATSHET!

Even if I don't believe in resolutions... at kahit di gumagana sa akin ang pangungutya ng iba... ganito na lang...

Pagkarating sa 4/F ng McKinley Parking... bababa na ako dapat. And as always, check muna ng gamit kasi nakakatamad bumalik sa parking para lang sa kung ano mang makakalimutan ko sa kotse.

Lo and behold!!!! POTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I forgot my ID and token... somewhere sa bahay!

Actually... pwede naman siguro ako pumasok even without my ID... kelangan lang ako sundan sundan ng guard or ng kahit sinong katrabaho para makapasok-labas sa mga pupuntahan kong rooms. Ang super hassle lang... kelangan ko yung token ko to login my remote desktop para makatrabaho!

So after 2 minutes sa parking area, I drove out para umuwi.... ng nasa may Piazza na ako... saka ko narealize na di ako nakapagbayad ng parking.... nor did I slow down para makapagbayad ako dun sa parking lady. HAhahahahahahhaha! TAenang yan! Naka-autopilot ako palabas ng parking area! Nasa isip ko lang... POTAENA KELANGAN KONG UMUWI!

Hahahahah! iniisip ko tuloy... hinabol kaya ako ng guard ng di ako pumara dun sa may palabas ng parking area? Hahahhaahaha!

AKO NA! AKO NA ANG BANGAG!

Thanks Man on the Motorcycle in Katipunan on Noche Buena Time

On the way to Eastwood, to meet Des and Axis, I realized that it was already 12 midnight. By this time, if I was with family we'd be hugging and kissing each other and greeting Daddy a Happy Birthday. I suddenly had tears in my eyes because I was starting to feel sorry for myself because I was in my car ALONE... when I should have been with family...

And then I saw a lone man on a motorcycle in Katipunan.

My tears just dried right up.

Thanks Des and Axis! Love you!

This is the first Christmas day that I spent alone.

I'm usually with my family at home.... Samar, Davao, HK, Subic... it didn't matter which home... I was always with my family come Christmas morning.

Christmas have always been a big deal to most people. It is especially a big deal for our family because, at the same time, it's Daddy's (my maternal grandfather) birthday. We're not always with Daddy on his day. But I've always been with family whenever we had to call and greet him Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday. I may not have been with my parents one Christmas years ago... but I was with family... my titos, titas, cousins, neighbors, etc...

Christmas, more than anything else, is a family tradition. When we were kids, it was the time of year when my cousins and I would wait for our parents to wake us up at midnight because Santa just came and delivered our presents and put them in our socks labeled with our names (we got apples, toys, and candies). It was the time of year when we would wait for Tito Wences and his family to arrive because they usually bring the ham.

It is on Christmas when we get our "longed-for" gifts. It was on Christmas when I got my first Brickgame (I got the one which had a really cool-looking interface [it was bulky and heavy and I could have killed my sister if I threw it on her head]; not to mention its 13 games-in-1 feature which, at that time, was super-duper high-tech and cool). It was on Christmas when I got my Scrabble boardgame (not the cheap kind by the way, I got the expensive one... the one which you can't fold because it had an ala- Lazy Susan feature).  It was on Christmas when I got my very own Word Factory. Ok, I just realized I had nerdy gifts. ANYWAY...

When Mommy (maternal grandmother) died, I guess we spent less effort on how we spent our Christmases as a family. Nevertheless, whatever kind of effort that went into the preparations... it was always with family.

Last midnight, Papa's been trying to call me. I did not answer his calls because I was so pissed that they didn't tell me earlier that they were going home to Samar and I had to spend Christmas on my own. (We'll I could actually have spent it with my Tita Iday, Mama's cousin). But I didn't really want to. It'll just remind me that I was not with my first cousins and my Titas and Titos (Mama's brothers and sisters) and Daddy, and Aubrey and Papa and Mama. I really wanted to go home and spend it with them and then maybe visit Mommy and Lola's grave in the morning.

I've been denying that I felt bad that I had to spend Christmas alone but I really wanted to wallow in self-pity today. But I'm glad I didn't.

Des have been haranguing me since I-can't-remember-which-time-of-the-week-this-week (ever since I ranted that Papa, Mama, and Aubrey left for Samar and left me for dead) that I should join her and Axis somewhere... I didn't really want to intrude because they might have their own family traditions. In short ayaw kong sumawsaw no!

Anyway, Des and Axis called yesterday  to check what my plans were. Since I didn't have any besides my spa reservations, I agreed to meet with them as soon as they're done with their family dinner (with Des' family) and I was done with, I didn't realize it then, my most-painful-spa-experience (SO FAR! ayoko magsalita ng tapos).

I met with them at Eastwood tapos nagpakabundat sa Seafood Islands kung saan naloko kami ni Axis ng Shrimp and Mushroom Sisig nila. WE DIDN'T KNOW IT HAD TOFU!!! What the !@#$%^&?!

We ate and laughed till 3AM. And then I had to shoo them away kasi turn naman ng pamilya ni Axis by Christmas Lunch and they still had to travel to Cavite.

Initially, I thought they usually spent their time after Noche Buena with friends and I was surprised to find out that it was also their first time to spend Noche Buena outside the house.

I guess... when family's not around... your other "family" catches you in time... before you fall splat on your face.

Love you Tess!

Anakng....

Just when I was about to leave, I receive a panic-stricken mail from one of the US PMs that we're working with. I could have ignored the mail since I'm supposed to be on Christmas vacation... kaso I can just imagine how he's panicking while he was writing the email.

Hahahaha! Parang ako lang! Ayun tuloy! extended ako dito ng 30 minutes! shet!

Heniweis, MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!!!

CHRISTMAS VACATION HERE I COME!!!

Bring You Down

Got this from Jenggy's blog. Taena, parang theme song ko pag sobrang galit ako.

Last night I had a revelation
Somehow I have to make you pay
It's all about manipulation
And what it takes to get my way
I don't believe in soft solutions
No one makes a fool of me
Without receiving retribution
No one hurts me and goes free
I'll play on your fears, I'll leave you in tears
You'll never be the same, my friend
You're walking a line, it's a matter of time
You'll never rest easy again
I've got the power to bring you down
I've heard it said, to err is human
It's forgiveness that's divine
I thought about forgiving you, but
I want revenge, I want what's mine
I think it's time to settle scores now
It's time to set the record straight
You'll know it's coming, you won't know how
Or when, you'll have to watch and wait
I'll play on your fears, I'll leave you in tears
You'll never be the same, my friend
You're walking a line, it's a matter of time
You'll never rest easy again
I've got the power to bring you down
You know, it feels intoxicating
To be intimidating
It's invigorating
To see you shaking
I've got the power to bring you down
You know something, you see it coming,
You know I will stop at nothing

One of the Best Weddings Ever

I just attended one of the best weddings ever.

The wedding ceremony did not take as much time as other wedding ceremonies I have had to attend.

The backdrop of the wedding was gorgeous and my sweat glands did not have to work overtime to cool me off.

In the wedding reception, we were not made to wait to near starvation before we could eat.

It was the first wedding I attended where it was Ok to bring GP (Gin Premium) to the wedding with coffee for chaser to warm us up.

It was the first wedding I attended where the bride was being ribbed good-naturedly, albeit a bit too loud, while she was walking down the "aisle". More importantly, the relatives and the "other" friends were not being uptight about it.

Kaso shet lang sa lahat ng shet, for a while, I forgot who the bride and groom were and decided to wear super-duper-high-heeled pumps kasi the dress code in the invite indicated semi-formal/formal.

Result: Super awkward hike towards the wedding location while creating seed holes for new trees.

What I learned: Climbing down is more difficult than climbing up. High-heeled or hiking shoes: it doesn't matter. 4-inch heels just make you look more stupid.

WRONG TIMING!

I don't know what miracle this is... but apparently I have a super duper fast connection here at home. Usually, I can barely open my FB account... and the posting page here in blogger usually takes forever to load up, i.e. IT NEVER, NEVER LOADS!!!!

Kaso... just when the net connection exceeds the expectations... saka naman ako walang makwento! BUHAY NGA NAMAN! Wala lang! at least na-experience ko mag-post ng walang kwentang post today...

I POSTED SOMETHING... JUST BECAUSE I CAN!

SHET NAKAKAMISS UMAKYAT!!!

GALAW GALAW!!!!

According to Dr. Seuss...

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

I couldn't agree more!

Right now, I'm procrastinating because I have to ask some clarifications concerning one of my tasks. Kaso... POTAENA DI KO ALAM PANO KO ITATANONG YUNG TANONG KO!

I'm trying to compose a question which is basically a YES or NO question... I just want to know if what I understood from the specs is correct. And if I'm wrong, I just want to know the correct interpretation (which I think is just one simple sentence if coming from someone who actually understands the task).

Pero shet sa lahat ng shet di ko alam pano ko icocompose yung tanong ko using just a simple interrogative sentence.

My Brain: OUCH!

Innocentes

And then again... SIKAT NA NAMAN AKO!

I just came back from a bridal shower. One of the games I participated in had us playing with Play-Dohs. The main instruction was: FASHION A BIRD OUT OF THE PLAY-DOHS. JUDGES(other invitees) WILL DECIDE WHICH MODEL RESEMBLES AN ACTUAL BIRD.

SO.... I decided to mold a flat rubber-ducky (image to be attached later when I get the photo in Facebook) out of the green play-doh given to me... and then I looked around...

POTA! BIRD pala as in ETITS yung pinapagawa! HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!

HELLOOOOOOO?!?!?!!??!!!!!! DAPAT TITI na lang sinabi! Ang tatanda na namin lahat do'n! Bird pa din tawag?!?!! CAHMOWN!

Thus ends the rants of a bitter loser.

BAWAL TUMAWID DITO.... PAPATAYIN KITA!

Sa may UP, may lalaking tumatawid.

Ang nakakainis dun, dun siya sa tumawid sa hindi dapat tawiran.

Ang mas nakakainis pa dun, sa kanan niya, less than 5 meters away, there's a pedestrian lane. On his left side, around 10 meters away, there's an overpass.

POTA! Gaano kahirap ang maglakad just a few steps further para tumawid sa tamang tawiran!?!

I seriously, seriously considered running him over with my car (Yes! I'm driving again... Stupid expensive taxi fares!).

How serious was I, you ask? I was already visualizing him bouncing off my hood and into another car.

And... yes... instead of slowing down... I accelerated towards the guy... all the time thinking:

Sige, Sige N'im iroy ka! TABOK! TABOK!!!!!!!!

(Loosely translated: Come on sonofabitch! CROSS THE ROAD! CROSS IT!!!!!!!)

Tangina talaga! Pasalamat siya kahit papano a small part of his brain still managed to recognize na tangina wala akong balak patawirin siya ng buhay kung ipinilit niya sarili niya!

Maka - Michael Learns to Rock si Ate...

Habang naghahanap ng sapatos sa Department Store sa Megamall... walang size na kasya sa akin na naka-display. Kelangan pa daw magpakuha sa stock room...

Ako: Ate, matagal pa ba yun?
Saleslady: Oo. (sad face)
Ako: Abot ng 30 mins?
Saleslady: Ay di naman po... mga... 25 minutes lang!

So you want to be a writer? (Do I?)

Wala lang... I found this poem. Tapos naisip ko... onga!

Di ko alam kung gusto ko ba maging writer or whatevs, pero minsan... I write kasi gusto ko lang may mai-post... Pero in fairness to me... I've also had that feeling when all I could think about is writing about something that happened . Taena, minsan nga sa sobrang dami kong gustong sabihin in such a short period of time eh pinuputakti yung sinulat ko ng wrong grammars at sandamakmak na mali-maling punctutations. But nevertheless, pag natapos ko naman isulat ang kung ano man.... charap! Feeling writer na naman akO! Hahahaahha! Howelllllsss!!!

Here it goes...

So you want to be a writer?

Charles Bukowski

if it doesn't come bursting out of you

in spite of everything,

don't do it.

unless it comes unasked out of your

heart and your mind and your mouth

and your gut,

don't do it.

if you have to sit for hours

staring at your computer screen

or hunched over your

typewriter

searching for words,

don't do it.

if you're doing it for money or

fame,

don't do it.

if you're doing it because you want

women in your bed,

don't do it.

if you have to sit there and

rewrite it again and again,

don't do it.

if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,

don't do it.

if you're trying to write like somebody

else,

forget about it.

if you have to wait for it to roar out of

you,

then wait patiently.

if it never does roar out of you,

do something else.

if you first have to read it to your wife

or your girlfriend or your boyfriend

or your parents or to anybody at all,

you're not ready.

don't be like so many writers,

don't be like so many thousands of

people who call themselves writers,

don't be dull and boring and

pretentious, don't be consumed with self-

love.

the libraries of the world have

yawned themselves to

sleep

over your kind.

don't add to that.

don't do it.

unless it comes out of

your soul like a rocket,

unless being still would

drive you to madness or

suicide or murder,

don't do it.

unless the sun inside you is

burning your gut,

don't do it.

when it is truly time,

and if you have been chosen,

it will do it by

itself and it will keep on doing it

until you die or it dies in you.

there is no other way.

and there never was.

Lonely Planet

Taena!!! I NEED MONEY!!! I NEED TO SAVE MONEY!!!!

Pakshet mauubos ang non-existing kayamanan ko nito!!! Akala ko pa naman yayaman na akO!

Travel... why dost thou tempt me so!?!

Papayat na Ako!!!! Pag naregularize ako...

Mwahehe!

I never followed any diet... kasi I love food. Nor did I follow any exercise regimen just for the sake of slimming down. Masyado akong tamad for it. I know I need to lose weight. My mama, pictures, weighing scale, and clothes can attest to that... vehemently. Pero di ko lang talaga kayang tumayo at gumalaw just for the sake of "health" and "good looks".

Mas masarap humilata sa higaan at mag-series marathon kesa mag-medyas, mag-sapatos at pumili ng outfit na di ako masyado pagmumukhaing mataba pero appropriate naman for exercise.

Most times, I don't care about my weight... pero pag naghahanap na ako ng damit na isusuot sa events... saka ko naiisip na... fuck! Kasya sana ako sa damit ko 2 years ago! Swak sana yung dress na yun for this event. But alas! I am 2 years and 30 lbs too late to fit in that styooopeeed dress!

BUTI NA LANG!

I have decided to climb Mt. Kota Kinabalu next year! I will schedule my flight and book a room as soon as maregularize ako! Kelangan maregularize muna ako... mamaya niyan wala ako pambayad sa flight and room ko... Ayoko maging taong grasa sa Malaysia nO!

Exercise here I come!!!!

Apparently, I am NOT Aggressive!

Just Passive-Aggressive... This is what I learned when I found this site. Obvious ba? Bored na naman ako.

Anyway, I saw a comment in the site which said: "Being passive-aggressive never solved anything."

Ang masasabi ko lang... Eh kesa naman tumunganga lang ako!!! If only there were no legal and/or career consequences... I'd probably go...

WAR! WAR! WAR AGAINST THE IDIOTS! TO THE DEAAAAAAAAAATH!!!!!

Idoooooollllll!!!!!!

Feeling ko kung may blog si Mark Twain... sinusundan ko na ngayon...

Why? You ask? Read below. Kung bakit niya sinulat yung nasa baba, read overview in Letters of Note

Nov. 20. 1905

J. H. Todd
1212 Webster St.
San Francisco, Cal.

Dear Sir,

Your letter is an insoluble puzzle to me. The handwriting is good and exhibits considerable character, and there are even traces of intelligence in what you say, yet the letter and the accompanying advertisements profess to be the work of the same hand. The person who wrote the advertisements is without doubt the most ignorant person now alive on the planet; also without doubt he is an idiot, an idiot of the 33rd degree, and scion of an ancestral procession of idiots stretching back to the Missing Link. It puzzles me to make out how the same hand could have constructed your letter and your advertisements. Puzzles fret me, puzzles annoy me, puzzles exasperate me; and always, for a moment, they arouse in me an unkind state of mind toward the person who has puzzled me. A few moments from now my resentment will have faded and passed and I shall probably even be praying for you; but while there is yet time I hasten to wish that you may take a dose of your own poison by mistake, and enter swiftly into the damnation which you and all other patent medicine assassins have so remorselessly earned and do so richly deserve.

Adieu, adieu, adieu!

Mark Twain

I feel you Mark Twain! I feel you!!! I hate idiots too!!!

The Funnies

Isn't it funny? Sa limpak-limpak na salaping meron sa mundo... Konti lang napunta sa akin! Tapos kelangan ko pa ipangbayad sa iba!

Isn't it funny? With this three out there: Luck, Money, and Charm... Charm lang napunta sa akin?! Hahahahaha!Kung ano pa  ang walang kinalaman directly sa pera... yun pa napunta sa akin!

Isn't it funny? Kung kelan andami-dami mong gustong bilhin, saka naman feel na feel mong pulubi ka?!

Ok di naman talaga funny yung mga sinulat ko... pero mas nakakainis naman kung yung title ko... "Annoying!" Pikon ka na nga, walangkwents pa title!

Makauwi na nga...

MANEHHHH COME TO ME!!!!

Not you Manny!

I mean... MONEY!!!

Ok tama na... inaaliw ko na lang sarili ko. Pero seriously... MONEY COME TO ME!!!

Stuff...

Stuff I've learned I don't need:

• Bluetooth headset for my cell
• di naman ako ganun ka-importanteng tao to answer calls when I'm in a situation which would require me the use of this one. I don't need to answer phone calls while I'm driving. And I especially don't need to answer phone calls when my hands are full (i.e. lumalamon ako).

•  IPOD
• OO. Nakakainggit ang meron. But then again, di ko naman talaga kailangan. I have a phone which can play mp3s. As long as the lyrics and music are clear... I'm good. Also, I don't like watching movies in teenie-tiny screens. Although... kung gold gaya nito... I wouldn't mind having one. That is, kung libre!

Stuff I've realized I'm drooling to have and I might one day buy... when budget permits...:

• IPAD
• feeling ko bibili lang ako nito kapag nadevelop na ng matino at wala na akong nababalitaang bugs at siyempre pag may pera na ako. I like reading e-books/books while lying down. Having one of these would be nice.

• Nikon P7000
• Ok. I'm not really camera-savvy but then I again, I believe I'm good in comprehensive reading. In short, I trust the judgment of those who are [camera-savvy, that is], and decide based on their reviews of these gadgets. Ayos na ako sa digital camera na matino yung lalabas na colors. Saka yung mukhang old-school yung itsura (astig kasi tingnan) pero hanep pa rin naman kahit papano yung features. Ayoko naman bumili ng DSLR kasi di naman ako ganun ka "into" photography. I just want to take decent pics when presented with a decent view and decent subjects.

But then again...

Evil continues to reign...

Change is still the only permanent thing in this world...

Well... maybe except for the fact that money continues to elude me!

PAKYU POVERTY!

Sleepy? Or Just Plain... Tatanga-tanga?

POTAENA ANG TANGA TANGA TANGA KOOOOOOO hahahahhahaahaha!

Sobrang obvious nung duplicate na record tapos di ko nakita. Chineck ko pa lahat ng datasets tapos yung JCL ulit, tapos yung huling nirun ko na JCL, tapos yung Natural, tapos yung Parmlib na ginamit... para lang malaman bakit may extra record dun sa isang file…

Pota… biglang sabi ni Steve (PM namin) sa Communicator: Duplicate last record.

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Nakakaainisssssssssssss!!!!! Nakakkahiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Ang obvious obvious di ko nakitaaaaaaaa!!!!

Di siyempre todo sorry ako...

Sabi ni Steve: np, I bet you’re tired…

Isip-isip ko: Yes steve… and I’m tangangerds too!

Hahahahahaahha! Sheeeeet nakakahiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Hahahhaahhaha!

My Daily Life = What Actually Happened

I am not one but my body clock shares the same time zone with that of a grad student. I have the same productivity plans... but then again... it seems... I also end up snoozing for three hours straight... (i.e same performance issues) which is not an exaggeration... to say the least.

My only fear is that my alarm clock will finally give up on me... and destroy itself just to attempt avoiding my inescapable fingers.





Why I am Pleasantly Plump...

This comic manifests the actual events that led to the deceleration of my metabolism and the acceleration of mea corpus' production of adipose tissue resulting to surfeit exhibition of carboxylic acids attached to hydrocarbon chains.

I go through the same dilemma at around the same time... and my solution have always been...

Eat.

And then...

Sleep.

Hahahaha!

My Birthday Wish

World Peace.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! Hayaan niyo na ako! Feeling beauty pageant contestant bakit ba?!

Ok... my actual, selfish birthday wish... is...

as always...

Money! Money! Money! (Is so funny! in a rich man's world!)

And my actual, attempting-to-be-less-superficial birthday wish is...

as always...

Another safe and happy year for my family and friends.

but my actual birthday wish is... (kinda selfish but I still don't care)...

as always...

To lose weight and then travel to a place I've never been too. And have fun there!

Kelangan specific... mamaya kinidnap pala ako at dinala sa "place I've never been too"... mabuti na yung careful...

Kasi sabi nga nila... be careful what you birthday wish for!

Hahahhhahaa!

27th year... here I come!!!!

One hour more... and I will be starting my 27th year in this world...

Yep... I know the exact time I was born because Mama told me that she was staring at the clock (3AM in the Philippines) in front of her when she made the last "push" that would eject me from her womb and into this icky, yucky world... I guess... icky and yucky rin yung womb ni Mama after I got out... but I believe it is still the best place to rest in this world... for 9 months and below that is...

Anywaaaaaayyyyyyyy.... as I was just starting to say....

NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I am edging closer and closer to my late twenties!!! And I haven't even made a tick mark in this world yet!!!

But never mind that... at least now I don't have any delusions (within myself) that I was meant for great things... OK... scratch that. I still believe I am meant for great things... I just don't know what those are yet... nor how I'm supposed to achieve them...

NIRVANA come to me! because... WORLD... HERE I COME!!! (just like what I said last year!)

Hmmm... maybe that's it... WORLD is not yet ready for THE GREAT ME... that's why... I can't be great yet...

COME ON WORLD!!!! I gave you a year already!

Hahahha! potaena... and as always... the WORLD still has the DELUSIONAL ME! nice work WORLD!

To my fans...

Hi!

Hahhahahhahaaaahahaha! Taena niyo wag niyo sabihin sa iba na ume-english ako ha! hahahahahah!

10 minutes more...

Why does a mere 10 minute wait seem like a 5 hour wait when you're itching to leave the office?

Comments? Anyone?

Hahaha! Kaya ko sinimulan tong blog na to...

• kasi I wanted to start a new blog where I can write about anything without worrying about what my friends will think about what I wrote...
• kasi I wanted to start writing in English again... ok... I'm still in transitional phase... i.e. Taglish... but still!!! I write more English words here which are composed of actual words instead of my usual-intentionally-misspelled-English-words-transformed-into-Filipino-slang-with-much-too-many-vowels-for-comfort.
• kasi I wanted to see if I can attract blog-readers (who are not related or connected to me in whatever form of social network (i.e. virtual or otherwise)) with just my superior wit and my occasional delusions of grandeur anecdotes...

But then again, I miss reading my friends' comments about anything... most of the time... comments which are not even related to what I wrote... comments which eventually seem like a thread of instant messages... even the useless WTF comments which I don't know whence it came from...

But I promised myself... I already crumbled once (I reposted an entry in my multiply blog... yep KSP* ako! Bakit ba?!)... I will not fail myself the second time!

I have to stay on this blog even if no one else reads this but me! My future fans will eventually find this blog... and I will be declared Queen! Hahahaha! Potaena! Inaantok na ako!

Sleep... just 20 minutes more and I can go home and sleep... if I don't watch a series instead... that is.

Note to self: Work 12 hours tomorrow so you can leave early on Thursday! Need to fetch sister in Pampanga by 8PM! Metro Manila to Pampanga = at most 3 hours. Need to leave office by 4PM. Avoid traffic. Check water. Gas. Air. Cash. Bring Laptop. (I hope I get all of this checked.)

* KSP - (for non-Filipinos... KSP = Kulang sa Pansin = MIA = Malnutrition in Attention i.e. ASB = Attention-Seeking-Beeyatch)

Waaaaawwww.... machoooooooorrrr!!! (Mature!)

Besides procrastinating... one of my favorite hobbies is ranting about the latest ANNOYANCES of my life to my friends. Although... since I'm apathetic about most things these days... I am rarely annoyed. And if I ever am annoyed, I try to keep my rantings to a bare minimum so as to refrain from being the cause of annoyance of someone else's life. I only do my best rant anyway when the annoyance... becomes an ANNOYANCE... yes! with capital letters.

The problem is... when a friend starts trying (yes... trying! Because I know otherwise!) to be mature. And instead of fueling your anger by bashing the person you're currently annoyed with... starts calming you down and trying to explain why the other person did what he/she did instead! COME ON!!! Whose friend are you anyway?!?!

Yeah... yeah! I guess trying to understand another person's actions is wise... but can't I just rant first and try to kill the annoying person in my head before I try understanding them!?!? I do have that right, you know?! Some people can just be buzz kills.... just when your heart is pounding and your hands are looking for someone to pound on. Can't you be my immature friend just for a moment and try your mature phase next time?! Wait until I have an axe in my hand and seriously plotting someone else's death before going... "I AM MATURE" on me, OK?!

Obviously... Wala akong ginagawa these past few days...

My life since college...





Guilty On All Counts!

Hahahahahahaha!

My Thoughts Exactly...

My New Crush!

Hahahahaa! At siyempre pa... while procrastinating... and waiting for 9AM... when I can actually get out of here... I tried looking for articles about PHDComics (see previous post)...

But of course, one of the first google results on PHDComics is in Wikipedia... I know I can get information on PHDComics on its own site but I just wanted to check out other articles that have been written about it... so I scanned the Wiki pages and I realized that I already know most of the content since I've been reading the comic since forever (i.e. when I was in college... last year... hahahah! ok! fine! around 2002 when I first saw it on one of the last opened sites in one of our lab computers). And then I saw Jorge Cham's picture... Ok he wasn't really that cute in that particular picture... so I tried reading the Wiki on him... and I saw this other picture...

Hehehe! He looks cuter here right!??! So ok... maybe his cuteness is debateable... but then... who wouldn't like a guy who has a PHD from Stanford, teaching in Caltech, doing research on Neural Prosthetics, AND/BUT can still argue the power of my most favorite hobby in the whole wide world?!?!!

Thanks for making my virtual world a better place Jorge Cham! You rock my cyberworld!

Happy Thoughts!

After what I've gone through today... I NEED HAPPY THOUGHTS!

Buti na lang may PHDcomics to keep me sane!!!!

So far... the comic below is my favorite comic... I could have sung it when I was an undergrad in Ateneo... I had all of the materials mentioned in the song at my disposal! But most of all... Cecilia and I, STILL, both want MONEY! Hahhahaah!

Taena! I couldn't even compose a much sensible post for this particular rant! I had to copy my emails to express how I felt! Pota! Hahahaha! Ako na! Ako na ang bangag!

I love Chuck Lorre Vanity Cards!

I have been watching Two and a Half Men since forever but I haven't really noticed the vanity cards because I always change the channel (if on TV) or I immediately click the next episode (if on my PC) when a particular episode is done.

It was when I started watching The Big Bang Theory (and yes! I Love Jim Parsons)

that I noticed and started freeze-framing on the vanity cards. This is actually what led me to ask... who is Chuck Lorre? Our humor is just so similar!

Then I started looking for him on the internet wanting to watch his other "products" and realized he was also one of the people behind Two and a Half Men and Dharma & Greg (I was still in high school when the show was aired and we had no cable so I haven't really watched it even though I knew of it). So, I downloaded the entire 6 seasons of Two and a Half Men (now, with the complete Season 7) and, so far..., the complete first three seasons of Dharma & Greg.  I hope to watch all of his productions eventually.

So what got me to writing this piece? I just read his newest vanity card, and two lines caught my eye:

"My memory of you is better than you." - Lao Tzu
Erectile dysfunction commercials cause erectile dysfunction." - Words of a prophet, written on a subway wall and tenement hall

Both lines got me thinking... oh! yeah...

Hahahahaha!!!

An Irrational Rant

I know I probably don’t have the right to be so pissed…  but I am.

I parked my car on a space on the "village" road, in front of a tree, in the middle of 2 homes. I don’t know  whose property I was parking on. I don’t even know if anyone owns that particular space since IT IS A PART of the street. By the way, I WAS NOT BLOCKING ANY DRIVEWAY! I made sure of that ( I don't want anyone parking on my future driveway, so I don't want to do it to other people).

Anyway, the guard on duty came to my unit and asked me to move my car because "Ma'am Liezel" (I don’t know if I have the spelling right) was not too happy at baka mag-away pa daw kami. Di ko alam bakit niya ako aawayin since as far as I know… wala akong driveway na blinoblock… also, the driveways, on both ends of my car, are too cluttered anyway for anyone to be able to park there. I don’t know who "Ma'am Liezel" is… and right now… I don't pretty much care. Or maybe I do care… I need to know who she is just so I know who I'll be messing with if she pisses me off too much (in the future).

I told the guard that I'll just finish my meal, and then I'll move my car. So ok… maybe it took me 3 hours to finish my meal kasi medyo nairita ako sa sinabi ng guard about "Ma'am Liezel"... pero eventually I did go and get my car to move it.

When I got in my car, may papel sa windshield ko. Nakasulat in angry writing… well it looked angry to me (di na ata to verbatim kasi I crumpled the paper after I read it): "NO PARKING!!! PLS. PARK OUTSIDE [the village, because I don't have my own parking, I own a studio type unit] OR NEXT TIME I'LL HAVE YOUR CAR TOWED!!!"

Yeah... Yeah... Maybe they do own the street on the side of their house… pero really?! Threats?! Really?!

And yes... maybe it's not a threat… maybe (like a line in a movie) it's a promise that they'd really have my car towed if I did park there again… but that wasn't really what got me fuming! What really pissed me off was the paper that was used to "threaten" me. Apparently whoever wrote that was from ABS-CBN Media. Well, it said so on the header.

Maybe that was the paper na accessible agad habang nag-ngingitngit sa galit yung bruhang sumulat sa papel na yun… pero come on! Really!?! Mag-isip ka naman! Do you even know what that implied at all!?

Parang ang lakas ng loob mo magpa-tow ng kotse ng iba dahil mayaman ka (kahit naman ang kalat kalat ng driveway mo! (hahaha! Sorry! Like what I said in the subject… irrational rant)) at nagtratrabaho ka for one of the most prestigious media companies in our country.

COME ON!!! REALLY?!?! NAGYAYABANG KA BECAUSE MEDIA KA?! COME ON!!!!!! HOW SENSELESS IS THAT! You''re just a glorified tsismosa because what you gossip about is labeled "NEWS"!

I hope you get run over by a tow truck!

Rant over.

Today is Ten Twenty Twenty Ten

I love the world today! 10-20-2010

A Guy Made Me Cry Last Friday...

Kasi ang tanga tanga tanga tanga tanga tanga tanga lang niya!

Gusto kong magpasalamat sa lungs ko... kasi nakayanan ko pang mag-inhale exhale para icontrol ang sarili ko. Nung kinausap ako ng TL namin.... di ko kinaya... naiyak ako sa sobrang frustration sa katangahan talaga ng hayup na yuN! Para akong nagpapaliwanag sa kisame... feeling ko mas ok pa yung kisame kasi kung um-echo man... tama yung ibabalik na explanation sa akin... siya?!?!? ang out of this world lang talaga! HOMAYGEDS!!!

AYOKO NG TANGA!!!! AYOKO NG TANGA!!! AYOKO NG TANGA!!!

Ok... minsan tanga ako... pero kung alam kong di ko alam... tumatahimik ako o kaya nagtatanong for clarification! HINDI KO IPINAGPIPILITAN ANG Iniisip KO kung di ako sigurado! Fucker! Alam ng mga kaibigan ko na gusto ko parati akong tama... pero kung di ko kaya i-fight to the end yung feeling ko eh alam ko... tumatahimik ako!!!! Kaya kung di mo kaya ipagtanggol yung mga pinagsasasabi mo... TUMAHIMIK KA NA LANG!!!! WAG MO NA AKO i-expose sa kabobohan mo!!!!! At wag na wag mo akong gagawing sinungaling PUTANG-INA MO! LINTIK LANG WALANG GANTI POTA KA!!!

AYOKO NG TANGANG MAYABANG!!!

Missing you...

We lost Mommy, my maternal grandmother, when I was in highschool... I thought we'd be done grieving after a few months... or even after a year or two.. considering that we were an extended family... we''ll that's what I thought... and I guess... I thought wrong.

Yes, we still miss her from time to time... we'd reminisce about what she used to say to us when we behaved badly, we'd reminisce about the things she used to do, the things she used to like. But we'd all remember it with a smile and a laugh.

I never thought that when caught in just the right moment and you hear one simple phrase that would remind you of the person you lost, or why you lost them... I never thought that it would actually set off the tears brigade... even after a decade has passed.

I write about this often enough, but usually with a smile on my face... it is only now that I write about this with tears on my face... and I guess this wouldn't be the last. Why is it that even when you know that a person's gone,   you only just do realize that they're not there when you want to hug them... but you can't.

I miss you Mommy!

HAY KANET BELIEVE IT!

Hahhahaha! Because I am the vain person that I am... I checked if by typing "Budlot22" in Google, the search would generate significant results...i.e. would this blog be found? Yes, this blog is one of the results... among a few others.

But the most important find I found... is the V1WORLD! Hahahaha! This was our block site when we were in college which was developed by Jan! Unfortunately, some of the pictures can't be displayed anymore because this was originally in geocities... and as we know... geocities is of the days gone by already.

I just need to copy the following... just in case the site is finally deleted off the web.


Chapter 1: Getting to Know Block V1's Environment

• 'Twas the first semester, inside a Filipino 11 class when a student from Block V1 sang a song:

"Ngayon at kailanman, sumpa ko'y iibigin ka..." (JC)

• The next day, the teacher wrote on the black board:

"Bawal ang panggagago sa klase!!!!!! =)" (Sir Francia)

• Another V1 teacher, while discussing distance, once said:

"Some of you think you know everything; that is very far from the truth!" (Doc Mara)

• The same teacher, during another lesson, suddenly shouted:

"Mr. Aguja! (pointing to Mr. Soriaga), what does the Extreme Value Theorem say?"

• A few meetings later, he again scolded another student, saying:

"Mr. Aguja! (Looking at Mr. Alvior) Move one seat further!"

• And Mr. Alvior transfers... Then he looks at Mr. Aguja asking:

"What is the graph equal to?"

• Another Filipino teacher said to a student with a cellphone on her desk:

"Are you making a statement?" (Sir Morano?)

• The same teacher once demonstrated a funny speech with the words:

"Naniniwala ka ba? Hindi! (with funny exaggerated actions)"

• During an SA class, a student asked:

"Can a hermit create his own culture?" (di ko maalala kung sino!!!)

• And the teacher answered:

"No! Unless it is a group of hermits living together. Huh?!"

• It's true that Block V1's teachers are funny, but some of the students from Block V1 themselves are also funny. In a math class, after being scolded for allegedly sleeping, a student answers:

"Sir I'm not sleeping, I can't open my eyes sir." (Raph)

• The same student once recited a funny speech:

"Alin ang mas masarap, yosi o sigarilyo? Ay... sigarilyo o yosi?"

Places to go to...

Kamikochi - Japan Alps National Park Resort

Shet! Tapos may hot spring pa.... This is where I want to go to relax... where I can hike and then come back down to a hot spring... tapos massage... tapos lamooon! Shet!

I also want to go to Nepal... but this time to volunteer... I'm not saying that I'm a golden hearted person because I'm not... I rarely volunteer here in the Philippines... I used to in college (because there were lots of opportunities and we would usually pass them off as org activities) but after college... I only get to volunteer when disaster strikes... (well... now that I think about it... disasters do strike our country often enough)

Anyway, I just want to experience volunteering in another country... see what it's like to help in another 3rd world country where I don't understand half of what they're saying. I found this site www.idealist.org where you can search for volunteer opportunities which are suited for the skills you have and you can also specify WHEN you want to volunteer... this is especially helpful for those who want to volunteer using their VLs (vacation leave). And the first country I want to visit is Nepal... although I''m not climbing Mt. Everest... because let's face it.. besides the fact that I can't afford it... di rin keri ng mga taba ko no! hahahha! So... ok fine! volunteer na lang tayo sa Nepal... at least I get to be in the country where Mt. Everest is, right?! hahahaha! Talk about settling! For anyone interested you can check www.webnepal.org. They offer various programs I think.

But then again... be it volunteer-vacation or pure relaxation... I still need... Money! Money! Money! It's so funny! In a rich man's world!

Shades, Sunglasses... whatever!

Ako na! Ako na ang pinakamasamang tao sa mundo!!! Hahahhahahaha!

Bakit naman kasiiiiiiiiii!!??!!? Bakit kasi may pumapasok ng office na naka-shades hanggang sa loob ng opisina!??!?! WALANG SUN SA LOOB NG OFFICE! and by the way.. October na! Maulan na! Wala na halos Sun-rays kadalasan... at kung may Sun man kayong maaninag paminsan-minsan... WALA PA RING RASON PARA isuot ang sun glasses hanggang sa loob ng office na walang bintana para masilip ang sun-rays o kahit man lang super-duper bright lights to give you a valid excuse to shade your eyes! (Unless kakaopera lang ng mata mo... o kaya kung may sore eyes ka... otherwise... ) THERE IS NO EXCUSE!!!!!

Okay fine... siguro kung super cool ka... or sobrang pogi mo that you could pull it off... siguro okay lang.. double standards na kung sa double standards! Eh kaso nagmumukhang eng-eng lang talaga ang mga taong pumapasok sa office ng naka-shades... tapos feel na feel pa nila na hot sila ... KAHIT HINDI NAMAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!  And besides.. kung pogi ka at cool ka... I doubt kung gagawin mo to... unless nagdrdrive ka... pero feeling ko... FEELING KO LANG HA! When they get off the car... TINATANGGAL PA RIN NILA SHADES NILA... BAGO PUMASOK NG OFFICE! hahahahaha!

Taena ako na ang di maka-let go! NO TO SHADES/SUNGLASSES INSIDE OFFICES WITH NO WINDOWS! LALO NA KUNG DI KA HOT! hahahahahahah!

Well... I did say masama akong tao... hahahahha!

Be careful what you wish for...

Kung dati umaangal ako kasi halos wala akong ginagawa... ngayon naman... di ako makauwi!!! pakerpeys!

I wanna go home naaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Now naaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

But then again... nawawala pa ang tatay ko... hahaha! Ipagdadasal ko muna na mahanap niya yung opisina ko!

Ang galing galing galing lang talaga! Hahahaha! Love you Pa!

Wife

(Started on Sep 15, 2010, Wednesday Afternoon)
I didn't really realize that such a short and commonly used word is such a loaded word until I realized that I did not want to refer to myself, YET, as the "wife" of anyone, if asked about my relationship with that particular someone. Not that anyone is just dying for me to call him "husband"... I'm just saying... I don't think I can handle the responsibilities that come with it just yet.

As I've told my closest friends, WHEN I was a kid, I've always seen myself growing up to be a mother of a family. I've always taken it for granted that one day I'm going to marry a guy and live happily ever after. (I find it particularly interesting that as I was typing down the phrase "happily ever after" I haven't even finished typing the word "happily" when I had to stop composing this entire piece altogether.)

(Continued on Sep 17, 2010, Friday evening, around 8:15PM)
As I was saying, I always saw myself with a family to nurture and care for and shout at... But right now, with the lifestyle that I have (I'm not saying it is THAT great, but I do enjoy my life most times), I think a guy and a kid will just be, as we Warays say it... samok-samok!

I'm not saying that I'm a such a cold-hearted bitch that I can't tolerate kids.  On the contrary, I do enjoy my nephews (sons of my cousins). I love, love, love, love playing games, watching movies, and going to the beach with them (I am always the designated nanny at the beach because I always, always enjoy swimming with no care for my melanin-rich-skin's color). One of the better parts of spending time with them, however, is that the moment I want to rest, I can always return them to their mothers and continue with whatever it is I want to do.

With regards to getting hitched, I really just don't want the part where I have to care if my guy has eaten or not and worrying whether he got mugged or whatever because he's still out late at night... but the part I don't care for the most... is the fact that I have to tell someone when I want to go somewhere... I'm not even used to telling my parents about where I go on my out-of-towns!

Bottomline: I'm still selfish... and... I just haven't found the guy that wouldn't make me mind about stuff that I would usually mind. Mwahehhe!!

An Awesome Book

I just want to share with anyone who accidentally happens to come by this page this wonderfull book by Dallas Clayton. I don't know the guy personally, I also just happened to read on one of the blogs that I'm following that he wrote this awesome book... and YES... the title of the book is An Awesome Book... which it is!

I truly, truly believe in what the book is saying. I think it is a good book for kids and adults alike... Despite the cartoonish illustrations, I think the target market of the book is actually young adults.

When I was a kid, I've always believed that one day, if I was faced by an evil, evil creature..., I could instantly transform into Yellow Power Ranger and save the people around me... and of course, look cool the whole time I'm doing the saving and kicking the evil creature's butt!

However, like most people who have faced the "harsh" realities of life...  of failing grades in college, the unrequited crushes, the credit-card sharks, and the actual harsh realities of life... of knowing of people who cannot eat even once a day, of people who have to fear the simplest thing like walking the streets because of possibility of ambush from terrorists, of people who are forgotten in our haste to live our lives and accomplish the things that we think are important....

Like most people, I forgot to dream...

And despite being clinically-proven.... dreams are not just for sleeping.

Read the book! It is An Awesome Book!

Hum-dee-dum!

Another super-short list of my hum-drum-songs...

1) Graduation March
2) Trust and Obey (a Gospel Song)
3) A Song for Mary (my University's Alma Mater Song... I'm not Catholic by the way... despite my propensity to swearing...)

Attempts in Rhyming

Attempts in Rhyming

by Boredom-Ridden-Cutie

Eyes drooping,

Hair in disarray

Because of incessant...

hand-combing.

Eyes glazed,

Brain in disarray

because of incessant...

weird-thinkings.

Eyes open... eyes closed...

Just a few minutes more...

Of course, I'm still hoping

That work wouldn't be such a bore...

But then again,

with those few minutes gone...

I realize...

There's still another 4 fuckin' hours more!

English Only Please!

We have an EOP (English Only Policy) in the office, mainly because our employers are British and most of our clients are Americans.

People tend to disregard this policy when talking amongst close friends. Siyempre ang weird di ba kung kaibigan mo na nga e-English-in mo pa! Haller lang! But of course, some people do strictly comply to this policy... strict to the point where they report the people they overhear speaking in our native tongue while inside the office... yes! even when guilty subject is inside the loo... it is the office's toilet after all!

Anyway, when I went to pee... I overheard two people inside the cubicles talking to each other in Filipino. On the way to one of the cubicles, my throat tickled and I had to cough. I had to stop myself from peeing and laughing when the person talking suddenly stopped mid-sentence! Hahahaha!

In my head, to the person inside that cubicle: Takot ka noooo!?!?! Hahahahahaha!

Repeat Till Fade

This is one of those days when I just can't wait for the day to end. With nothing to do at work (not that I'm complaining overly much) and yet we have to find a project where we can charge our hours to. I'm currently reading up on some documents and tinkering with the online system and documenting the system at the same time (just so I can say that I'm not just wasting my time writing about stuff like this and staring off into space)... and yet I can't seem to do it continuously...

My brain fries up when doing mundane tasks for long periods of time.
I have to stop.
Write about the boring, mundane task.
Rant and bitch about it.
Try to get it out of my system by reading up on some happy news.
Bash my head against my desk INSIDE MY HEAD.

And then get back to the boring task at hand.

Repeat till fade.

So pwede mag-jeans?

Eto yung tanong sa akin ng officemate ko...

Ahahahahaha!!!! Ako na! Ako na ang magaling!!!! Ahaahhahaahah! Akala ko pwede mag-jeans kapag night shift...

Apparently not!

Hahahaaha! Malay ko baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Hahhaahhahhhahahah!

Highblood!!!

Actually... di ko sigurado kung highblood nga ba 'to. Ang alam ko lang...ANAKNANGSHET! Masakit yung batok kooooooo!!! I've been doing night shifts since last monday, pero di naman sumakit ng ganito yung batok ko. Besides, 8-hours naman parati tulog ko... ibang oras nga lang than usual... but it's still the prescribed number of hours!

Also, I feel like I have a stiff neck, pero I can't, for the life of me, figure out how I got it. My neck was fine when I woke up, kani-kanina lang medyo umangal 'tong leeg ko.

Could it be my non-stop article reading since my last post until now? Hmmm...

Basta ang alam ko... I only 500 pesos cash till next payday! How am I going to survive till then?!?! Shet!! Nagiging totoo na yung highblood ko!

LHM: Last Hum Syndrome

I always find myself humming... I haven't taken the time yet to note the exact moments when I hum... but I did notice that I always hum the tunes of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "The Adam's Family Theme Song".

I wonder what it means.

A Brief "Me" Background

Siyempre kelangan may background about me. Even though wala naman akong balak ipagkalat 'tong blog ko na to... baka lang may makatsambang nilalang at biglang natuwa sa blog ko na 'to... so might as well introduce myself properly.

I'm a girl... na madalas pinagkakamalang tomboy/tibo/shombits/lesbiana... mainly because I'm not a girly-girl and I don't gush about boys publicly... (yes, I do obsess about boys... but only with my closest friends!... and even with my not-that-close-friends if the guy is hot enough para 'di ko i-deny na pinagnanasaan ko siya! hahahaha!).

I dislike nail-polish, transparent or otherwise, pero siyempre nagpapacleaning rin naman ako ng kuko no! It's called hygiene! Helloooooo!! Pero ayokong pinapakulayan yung kuko kasi nadudumihan ako sa cutics na nababakbak! Yucky Kadiri!

Also, I don't like skirts and dresses. Pants, short and long, are more sensible to me. You can move easily in them without having to worry about your undies or the lack thereof! Hahaha! Pero siyempre I still prefer shorts kasi mas presko... pantalon, during rainy/cold season lang.

Probinsyana ako. I grew up in Samar till end of Grade School, Leyte naman nung High School... then Metro Manila na nung College.

Nagdr-drive ako dati... kasi akala ko afford ko na yung expense that comes with a car... kaso biglang na-bankrupt ako... so commuter-girl na ako ulit ngayon.

I have a younger sister na bruha, tatay na praning, at nanay na bungangera... pero siyempre love ko silang lahat.

Akala ko dati matalino ako... this was reinforced by my parent's belief in my "unlimited potential"... kaso... yun nga... akala ko lang pala. Little did I know... cute lang pala ako at di gano'n katalino.

And to sum everything up: Cute lang ako... hindi perpekto.

A Brief Blogging Background

I've been blogging since college. Kaso... sabog-sabog yung mga posts ko. I didn't bother with tags because I didn't really know how they worked and what they were exactly for. The moment I took the time to figure that one out... I already had too many posts to even bother going back and tagging all of them... soooo... I just went on my merry way and wrote to my heart's content... Nagkaproblema lang ako when I wanted to link one post to one of my older posts which I remembered writing about... tapos di ko mahanap yung lecheng post! Hahahaha! Magaling! Magaling!

Also, I have a hard time letting a blog go... I've had 3 blogs so far. One in Friendster (which I started when Friendster still reigned as king in the Online Social Networking World), another in Blogspot (which I started when I was studying HTML in college... wala pa kasing masyadong achuchuchu yung blogspot before... Kung gusto mo ng arte kelangan mo i-code using HTML... buti na lang ngayon click-and-drag na lang, otherwise I'd be publishing this post next week kasi kailangan ko pa ulit aralin yung HTML hehehe!), and of course... my sturdy Multiply blog (which I started noong college with a sprinkling of a few post kasi sort of umuso yung Multiply noon and I wanted to try writing there... which I then abandoned because I still preferred blogspot... which I again resurrected when I started working kasi... nevermind! sobrang highschool reason lang! hahaha!). Buti nga di ko sinimulan sa FB nang biglang naging "in" yung FB eh.

When I was blogging in Blogspot, I was still blogging a few post in my Friendster account as well. Eventually, I was able to let Friendster go. Kaso even when I started blogging in Multiply, I still posted some of my writings in my Blogspot account... I'm a 2-timing blogging beeyatch. Well... sort of...

Kaya ngayon, I declare... for good... goodbye Friendster! goodbye my other Blogspot blog! goodbye Multiply!

I know nobody really cares but me... hahaha! But I still need to know for myself that I can organize my life... even if it's only the virtual one! Hehehe!
