Iya Iroy Paurit!!!

Ok... more like AKON IROY PAURIT!

Shet! magdedeposito ako dapat sa account ni Mama... binigyan niya ako ng series of numbers which I assumed was her account number...

ANAK ng tipaklong! ATM NUMBER PALA! at since Metrobank... and from what I remember... hindi traceable ang account number from your atm no, unlike Equitable/BDO.

Pero siyempre nagbakasakali pa rin ako kasi baka pde na matrace since huli akong nagka-Metrobank na account eh college pa. At tama pa rin ako. Di nga nila ma-trace... so pinakiusapan ko yung teller kung ibigay ko yung pangalan ng nanay ko eh baka ma-trace niya...

Sabi niya try ko daw muna itanong sa nanay ko... so tinawagan ko si Mama... eh ito namang nanay ko... insisting na kaya daw yan ma-trace kasi yan lang daw binibigay niyang number kay Tita Hilda (isa sa mga Tita ko sa Samar) tapos nakakapagtransfer naman daw ng pera...

So either sobrang hightech ng mga computer sa Samar, o tanga lang yung mga teller dito sa Metro Manila...

So balik ako sa teller tapos sabi ko kung pde niya icheck yung branch sa Catbalogan o kaya Subic.. baka mag-appear pangalan ng nanay ko...

Lo and behold! Meron daw account nanay ko sa SUBIC! So sabi ko... YAN NA NGA YUN!

Teller: Ma'am... kaso apat na account meron nanay niyo... tatlong Pesos na savings at isang Dollar... tapos iba-iba address...

ANAKNGSHET! Napaisip tuloy ako kung kurakot ba nanay ko... Eh kaso wala naman siyang kukurakutin kasi di naman siya nagtratrabaho na... so naisip ko baka dahil sa dinami-dami niyang "business" ventures na wala naman nangyayari...

So sabi ko.. miss paki-check yung 353D Finback St na address...

Teller: Ma'am dalawang account po meron sa address na yun eh.

Ultimate Result: Sigawan over the phone kasi napipikon ako pag nagsasayang ako ng oras at load lalo pa at unresolved yung problema. I-tetext daw ako ng nanay ko mamaya pag nalaman niya account number niya.

Shet! Akala mo naman ang yaman namin sa dami ng account number ng nanay ko...

Reminder to Self 004: Tulo Laway for More Laray**

** Laray = Waray for Lakwatsa

Kagagaling lang namin ng Baguio (which was uber-fun... super classic Baguio outing lang talaga! Hahahaa! Kaso uber-gastos rin ako sa pagkain! In fairness kung di ko lang tinodo yung lamon ko... super tipid yung lakad na yun! Eh kaso masarap kumain bakit ba?! Calling all peoples... post niyo naman sa multiply yung pictures hahaha! para pde ko magrab at ipost dito sa blog ko yung favorites ko! hahahaha!)... at eto na naman ako nangangati na naman lumayas sa kung saan.

My scheduled lakwatsa for the year:
1) Bohol (August)
2) Kota Kinabalu (October)

May nangungulit sa akin sumama sa akyat sa Pulag sa end of Feb... kaso... ahm... di pa aker ready.. I thunk... I still need to train. Pero sabagay... tatakbo na rin naman ako ngayong Feb... so feeling ko kaya ko na rin yung Amabangeg by end of Feb... EH KASO!! TINATAMAD PA AKO MAGLUTO! hahahaha! I miss Ace!

Si Ace ang aking personal entertainment system and personal assistant... pag kasama siya okay lang mag-tantrums ako ala Kai! Mwahahaha! Ok, di naman masyadong ala-Kai kasi baka itulak ako sa bangin nun pag tinapunan ko siya ng yogurt! Hahahahah! More like.. pde ako mag-inarte more than my usual self pag kasama ko siya umakyat kasi halimaw lang talaga si Ace! Kelangan ko lang mag-hiwa hiwa ng mga gulay tapos siya na magluluto... hahaha! Kesa ako yung magluluto ng buong meal... mas masaya maghiwa-hiwa lang no... may feeling of "tumulong ako" pero di rin naman naka-depend sa yo yung energy source ng ibang tao masyado! Hahaha!

Maarte na ako ngayon bakit?! Pota! Hahaha! HUWATHAPPENDTOMEEEH?!?! Taena sobrang tamad ko lang talaga ngayon... o baka kasi matagal na akong di nakakaakyat... medyo nakakalimutan ko na yung joy of climbing... at naalala ko lang ngayon yung dread ko of cooking and preparing food sa labas ng tent on a very cold February night in Pulag... which, as I recall, will lead you to eat lupa and damo pag very clumsy ka...

I digress, anyway... as I was saying naglalaway na naman ako for more lakwatsa... may nagreply kasi sa akin yung isang pinagtanungan ko about Mt Kinabalu... tapos biglang sinuggest niya yung Via Ferrata na Walk the Torq. Pwede rin daw yung Mesilau Trail if ever. Eh wala naman ako balak mag-via Ferrata kasi medyo mahalers kesa kung aakyat ka lang... tapos biglang nakasulat sa email 50% muna singil tapos next half is 1 month before the climb na... tapos napaisip ako... POTA! minsan lang ako aakyat ng Mt. Kinabalu... di ko naman dream gawing yearly ang Kinabalu (gaya ng ginawa ko sa Pulag for the past 4 years) kasi di naman ako gawa sa ginto... kung kumikinang man ako... ito'y di dahil gawa ako sa mamahaling materyal... more likely... dahil lang yun sa innate star factor ko! AHAHAHAHAHHAH! HAYLAVET!

Pero anyway ulit... siyempre basa basa ulit ako on Via Ferrata... at habang nagreresearch ako.. may isa pa palang route ang Via Ferrata... ito naman yung Low's Peak Circuit. And according dun sa isang drowing (may descriptions naman yung Walk the Torq at Low's Peak Circuit... kaso di ko maabsorb masyado... mas madali intindihin ang drowing... gaya nga ng sabi ng Michael Learns to Rock... "Paint My love... you should paint my love... it's a picture of a thousand sunseheeetss!!" Hahahah!), mukhang mas sulit yung Low's Peak... nagtanong pa ako ulit dun sa nag-email sa akin kung kaya pa rin ba yung Mesilau-Timpohon na Trail even with Low's Peak Circuit na Via Ferrata.. wala pang reply...

Taena! feeling ko kung pde yung Low's Peak Circuit with Mesilau-Timpohon trekking... HOMAYGEDS! kelangan super duper extra fit akong umalis ng Pilipinas ng October! Kelangan tipong pag mag-Ambangeg ako with a full pack (na di porter ang nagdadala! Kelangan malinaw!)... 1 hour lang nasa camp site na ako dapat... Hahahaha sarap maging ambisyosa!

HAY SHIYET!

Things to do for a successful Climb:
1) Dapat by May, I should be doing 10K runs 3x a week na di ako namamatay after the run.
2) Dapat by August, I should be able to do 15K runs 2x a week na di rin ako durog after the run.

Reminder re my reminders:
1) TAKE CARE OF MY KNEES!
2) I should be able to train with minimal impact to my knees as possible.
3) 1 = 2 lang naman basically (see numeric list, directly above this line)... pero gusto ko ng lists eh bakit?!

EEH NEEHCADEEMA EEH NAA WEENAH!
EEH NEEHCADEEMA EEH NAA WAH!
ORA! ORA! ORA RAH!
NAOMI! NAOMI!
RAH RAH RAH!


Chine-cheer ko sarili ko! BAKIT!?!?!?! Hahhaaha!

HAYMZOEGZAYTED WENS EGEN!!!

To Climb or Not to Climb? That is the Question!

Potaaaaaaaaaa!!! Di pa ako ready umakyat ulit! October pa ako ready!!!

Tinatamad pa ako magluto sa bundok! Tinatamad pa ako umakyat ng bundok! Tinatamad pa ako tumakbo para maging ready sa akyat!!!

Eh kaso 'tong si Juani (HS dabarkads) nangungulit na sumama daw ako... kasama niya rin pala nag-reserve ng slot sa Talikasan yung isang kaklase niya ata sa Chem nung college. TAENA!!! Ayoko ng may nangungulit sa akin... KASI NAPAPAISIP AKOOOOOOOOO!!! Lalo na kung gusto ko gawin pero tinatamad lang ako gawin!!!

Tapos biglang nagtext... kasama na daw si Jeannelle (HS Dabarkads na mas ka-close ko nung HS...na favorite yung Backstreet... habang ako naman Boyzone... pero di kami nag-usap for a year dahil sa Code Red! Pota! Hahaha! Battle of the Boy Bands! Leche!) AYAN TULOY!!!

Ayoko nga sumama sa Indra na Pulag eh! Shiyet!! Nagsabi na ako kina Sir Jing at Joy na di ako magpu-Pulag kasi tipid mode ako...(kasi akala ko may kotse pa ako till Feb nung tinanong nila ako... saka di ko na rin sinabi na tinatamad ako para mukha lang akong lakas! hahahaah! hilig ko talaga magpanggap!) tapos biglang sasama ako kina Juani (we'll at least wala akong kelangan alagaan masyado kina Juani kasi Talikasan yung sasamahan namin... so sagot na ng mga GL sa UPM sila Juani... mwahehehe! tamad much?!)...

HAY HAM SO CAHNFYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSTTTTT!!!! Gusto ko sumama pero tamad pa ako! Kung sumama ako... kelangan ko na tumakbo ng seryosohan kung ayaw ko matulad sa akyat ko last year kung san ginamit ko si Kai para magmukhang LAKAS lang ako! SHETDATPAK! Hahaha! Labyu Kai!

SO... TO CLIMB OR NOT TO CLIMB? DO I? or DO I NOT?

RAWRSH!!!!

This is the sound of many things.... and it is also the sound of me... drowning in credit card debt.

Pakshet! Sinabihan ko si mama na sasagutin ko yung pang-Malaysia nila ni Papa kasi may promo yung Air Asia hanggang bukas. Pero balak ko, Kota Kinabalu lang kasi 430 lang per way...

But NO!!!! Gusto niya KL... so Ok pa rin... Kasi 1130 lang ata per way... sige keri pa...

But No!!!! Gusto niya i-book ko rin si Aubrey saka si Tita Ning at Tito Eddie. Pero since sagot naman ni Tita Ning yung sa kanilang dalawa ni Tito Eddie... medyo half-grudgingly pumayag na rin ako... ok fine sasagutin ko na rin yung kay Aubrey....

BUT NO!!! Gusto ni Mama mag-side trip papuntang Singapore kasi gusto niya daw mag-Sentosa! PAKSHET!!!!!!

Not to diss SG or anything, pero from what I heard it's just a man-made beach naman daw... Sa dinami-dami ng magagandang beaches natin dito sa Pilipinas, siyempre I still prefer our beaches over man-made beaches ng ibang lugar... Saka I heard, overrated naman daw yung Sentosa... but then that's just what I heard, I haven't been there myself... but then again, I prefer natural scenery over man-made ones.

Ang point ko lang naman, Mother... kung gusto mo lang mag-beach sa Singapore... umuwi ka na lang ng Samar!!!

Enough is enough!!! ok fine... sagot ko yung flight fares nila... pero bahala na sila sa hotels nila... lilibre ko sana yung hotel nila ni Papa... eh kaso hello! di naman ako gawa sa ginto no! angdami na nila saka angtagal na nila dun! Hello lang!!!

Hahahahaha! Taena! hirap mag-prepare para lang di ako mapagalitan pag ako na ang mag-Kota sa October! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! di ko pa sa kanila sinasabi na 1 week ako sa Malaysia sa October! Pero shet! naiingit ako! di pa rin ako naka-Singapore ever, kahit man lang foodtrip gusto ko mag-SG. Shet!

Di bale... Mt Kinabalu and Palau Tiga... and hopefully Brunei... Please make up for Singapore for the mean time!

Goodbye Fabio!

Isosoli ko na muna ulit si Fabio sa Subic. At bago pa isipin ng tatay ko na kaya ko isosoli eh kasi registration time na naman, uunahan ko na siya at sasabihin kong babayaran ko yung registration niya this year... pero di ko na talaga siya kukunin muna kasi nga...

MAY BAYAD NA PARKING SA AMIN! Di na pde magpark sa labas ng village.

Commuter girl na naman ako.

If I try to keep Fabio... eto magiging gastos ko:

Gas             : 2,000 +/- per 2 weeks
McKinley Parking:   500     per 2 weeks
GolfHill Parking: 1,250     per 2 weeks (assuming that I get to have a cheap one)
=========================================
                  3,750     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  7,500     per month

If mag-taxi naman ako everyday: (my officemate just informed me na mag-i-increase na daw flagdown, 30 to 40, and rate of inc, 2.50 to 3.50, so my calculations below are underestimated since they are based on the current taxi rates)
Tricycle to UP  :    30     per trip
Taxi            :   160 +/- per trip
=========================================
                    190     per way
=========================================
                    380     per day
=========================================
                  3,800     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  7,600     per month

However, if I did commit to commuting everyday:
 
OPTION 1:

Tricycle to TS  :    30     per trip  /* TS = Tandang Sora
Bus to Guadalupe:    25     per trip
Jeep to McKinley:    12     per trip
=========================================
                     67     per way
=========================================
                    134     per day
=========================================
                  1,340     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  2,680     per month

OPTION 2: **problematic kasi this would mean I have to be out of the office by at most 9-930PM to be able to catch the last MRT trip of the day. Which, in return, would mean that I have to be in the office by 12 NN, which would mean that I have to leave home by 11AM at the latest... which would also imply that I have to wake up by 7AM if I want to exercise and eat food at home para todo tipid.
Tricycle to TS :     30     per trip /* TS = Tandang Sora
Jeep to Q.Ave  :      9     per trip
MRT to Guadalupe:    12     per trip
Jeep to McKinley:    12     per trip
=========================================
                     63     per way
=========================================
                    126     per day
=========================================
                  1,260     per 2 weeks
=========================================
                  2,520     per 2 weeks

Moneywise, this would be a no-brainer. Timewise, though, blows my mind to far and beyond. With taxi/Fabio, a trip to/from the office would take me 30-45 minutes. With commuting, however, 60 minutes is the minimum (Option 2) which might even take up to 150minutes (read 2 and a half hour = one full movie.. for Option 1)

I therefore conclude... I choose Commuting:Option 3

OPTION 3: a combination of 1 and 2 commuting (2 to office, 1 for going home)

                130 per day
=========================================
              1,300 per 2 weeks
=========================================
              2,600 per MONTH

POTAENA! Money come to me!!!!

This time last night (or early morning)...

... I just woke up from a heart-thumping, nearly-horrifying dream. Ngayon naman patulog pa lang ako. I've been watching out for torrents of Conan's latest episodes pero wala pa ring lumalabas, so I had to settle for Oprah's Ultimate Favorite Things Part 1 lang muna.

I thought it was a happy episode, but no! Nakaka-depress!!! Hahahahaha! Sorry na! Inggitera akong tunay. Ok pa ako nung namigay siya ng diamond watch at ng mamahaling bag at shoes, keri ko pa... Kaso nung linabas na yung Nikon D3100 SLR... the green-eyed monster emerged! Hahahaha!

I decided that I only want a Nikon P7000 because I think it's something I can save up for without regretting once I buy it, pero SHET!!! If only someone would give me a Nikon D3100...

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I WANT ONE TOO!!!!

That episode of Oprah was my nightmare for today.

I really am content with what I have, but when you learn about the things that you COULD have... HOMAYGEDS! Contentment flies out the window... while envy saunters in!

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

Where I wasted my time today...

Cebu Pacific Website. Sino ang mag-aakalang nakaka-adik pala mag-check ng flight/hotel/destination combo?

I want to traveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!!!!! DROOL!

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!

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...

Hahahhhahaa!

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!

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!
