CHANGED RELATIONSHIP STATUS (Facebook)

2010-03-05T18:35:00.000-08:00

And so the other night I changed my Facebook relationship status from In a Relationship to Single.Now let me clarify that that was just a whim, an experiment of sorts based on a long-ago conversation between him and me. He said no one really cares about status updates in social networking sites like Friendster and Facebook. I disagreed. We debated, nobody really won, end of discussion. The

Addict that I am, I went ahead and got the other two books in the TRESE series last night. And finished devouring them both in one sitting. And all I can say is, THE SERIES FRIGGIN' ROCKS! Will post a proper review when I find the time, before the week ends.Two thumbs up to Budjette Tan and KaJo Baldisimo!

front coverback coverJust finished TRESE: Murder on Balete Drive, the first of three horror/crime comic books created by Budjette Tan and KaJo Baldisimo. I am not a big fan of Pinoy komiks, but this is really good. As in really, really good. In fact, it sorta reminds me of Neil Gaiman's style in the Sandman series and novel American Gods, although this is distinctively Pinoy. Needless to say, I

I have been trying since time immemorial to be organized and make something out of the chaos that is my life. Testament to this is the numerous datebooks and organizers I've accumulated in the past--all filled up only a couple of months at most. I've stopped using organizers since I realized that I am just wasting good money on planners that are not helping me get organized in the least. All the

getting prematurely depressed

2009-11-18T02:28:00.000-08:00

So. I just saw the last of him this afternoon--I have no idea when we'll get together again. The thought gets me down as nothing else could. He's still in the country but I am already getting depressed. Damn.Oh, and I've had my butt-length cut yesterday. It's now just a little past my shoulder blades. I was in a shock for quite some time after the haircut, but I'm out of my funk now.

Birthday+Christmas Wishlist

2009-09-26T18:02:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been seeing some people put up their Christmas wishlists. Got me thinking about my own list. So I put up my own, although with a little modification since my birthday's coming up first before Christmas. I call it my Birthday+Christmas Wishlist. I had some trouble putting stuff in my list. Seems my gadget lust has abated, for the moment at least. Anywho, without further ado, here's my

Monday morning blues

2009-09-13T12:21:00.000-07:00

Listening to Metallica while blogging at 7:00 on a Monday morning is not such a bad start for a week. I just finished correcting the blasted forms I revised last Friday--I was in such a hurry to get out that I made mistakes in each of the three sheets. Damn, talk about carelessness. Anywho, as I said I just made the necessary corrections and am now just waiting for the signatory to show up so I

Four teams in a bracket. Six games. Top two winners go in. And our team is one! Weeee!We almost didn't go in. By point system, we placed third. But we won two games out of three while the other team won just one. So we qualified by default. Three cheers for Jerson and me! =D

2009-08-14T18:40:00.000-07:00

Haven't updated my blog in what seems like ages.Oh well. Whatever.Right now I'm pissed off. Lots of different things really, but mostly about work stuff and some people here. Nothing serious though, just the normal quibbles between workmates. Didn't really help that I wasn't able to sweat off some of the angst because several people borrowed my badminton racquet and I'm too nice not to lend it.

Lately I've been thinking about finally, finally cutting my now butt-length hair. Dunno when though. Probably not in the coming days or weeks, but I'll definitely get around to it sometime before the years ends. Haha. Anywho, I've also been thinking of having it done in loose waves. Something like this:I can actually get my hair to look like this temporarily, after it has been in a bun or braid

2009-07-14T00:37:00.000-07:00

Just discovering that I have large untapped reserves of energy. How so? For starters, I've been working for nine days straight now. Barring any illnesses or untoward incidents, I'll probably be working for thirteen days straight until Saturday. And I still work out every lunch on top of that.Saturday night I went out with a coupla girlfriends from work. The first time I ever had a "nightlife"

2009-07-08T23:46:00.000-07:00

Been hitting the gym at lunch for two days now. Planning to continue on until my waistline is reduced or I lose interest in the endeavor, whichever comes first. The former, hopefully. Haha. At least it's not as tedious as it sounds since all of us working out are friends one way or another.Wish me luck on the waistline-reduction project now, will ya? ^_^

just happy, even if i have a tummyache that won't quit

2009-07-05T01:59:00.000-07:00

So. After some days without communication, we finally had a decent conversation again earlier today. And yeah, I'm really really chuffed about it. Goddamn, I really miss the guy. I absolutely cannot wait for November, even if he'll be here only for days. Yes, days, not even weeks. But hell, that's still much much better than him not coming back at all. Haha. I soooooo love that guy. Ever reminds

Sunday work(?)

2009-06-27T22:26:00.000-07:00

So. Working on a Sunday is not as bad as I thought it would be. Aside from missing out on badly needed sleep and time for an overdue project, I actually had an okay time. If the atmosphere on a Saturday is quite relaxed compared to regular working days, then Sunday is positively lethargic. There's no work pressure on the operators and over-break is a concept not particularly applicable on this

There really is no rest for the wicked.Anywho, I haven't been active this past week because of a huge problem that came up. I can't divulge the details just yet, but hopefully I could before the weekend ends (redundant much?). I'll be here at work so I might as well make the most of the free online

Again, quoting John Mayer in Something's Missing.This is getting damn depressing. My spirit's sinking with every passing day that I do not have a functioning computer to my name. I feel lost somehow, like a small boat set adrift on the deep, wide ocean. Geez. Something must be seriously wrong with me to be so affected by such things.Whatever happened to the saying that you cannot buy happiness?

Okay, it's absolute and irrevocably final: my laptop is history. My good mother brought it to the Acer service center yesterday and the initial diagnosis wasn't good: the innards are practically fried. Just confirmed it today, there's nothing more we can do.Half my stuff are gonna be lost. Photographs from February of this year up to now. Ouch.Strangely, I feel detached. Like I'm just watching a

You are like a single strand of grass in a massive field, not noticeable, not distinct. At times, you may feel that everyone is against you and nobody understands. That what you think doesn't matter and what you say won't be heard.

2009-06-02T17:21:00.000-07:00

There seems to be a gadget conspiracy against me. First, there's that laptop. Now, my camera is having a hard time with Autofocus. Geez. Manual focusing still works, but that might pose a problem with focusing on the fly. Dunno if it's the lens or camera that has a problem..Anyone, help?

Since I won't be able to download and process my photos from Sunday's shoot, I'll be spending the rest of the night and probably the wee hours of the morning finishing Michael Crichton's Sphere. I'm more than halfway done, the rest of the pages oughtta fly. And would you believe who the book belongs to? I borrowed it from one of our production operators. No offense meant, but you don't usually

2009-05-29T16:59:00.000-07:00

This is another old piece I dug up, in relation to my last post regarding the Hayden Kho scandals. If I'm not mistaken, I wrote it as a favor for Ktle who needed an "editorial" to publish on her English class newspaper project.Pornography is but a form of temptation. Like every other form of temptation, pornography in itself is not a bad thing. However, this does not mean that it should be

Well. I just forgot what I was about to type when I say that there is now an option for manually setting the date and time of your blog entry. Kinda long overdue if you ask me, since this was initially the reason why I blogged in Blogger and not here in Multiply--I just made the switch out of necessity when some glitch prevented me from posting there.So anywho. What was I supposed to write again?

Right now I'm itching to post something--anything--but my poor brain, fried and all from all those sleepless nights, couldn't come up with anything decent to write here. Blech. That or my life is that boring these days. Geez.Oh, right. Something good happened, I almost forgot. Tim, Franco's barkada's girlfriend.

Still better late than never, I say.Inasmuch as I am a solitary creature by nature, being alone with my thoughts for too long starts corrupting my mind.

Haven't been online much these past few days. GSM/GPRS Internet connection sucks, that's why I rarely bother. Oh well.I'm in BK right now, taking advantage of the free WiFi. To my delight, I caught him online. Rather he caught me, since I had no idea he's still up such late hour. Nevertheless, it's a good thing. Always a good thing, we talking I mean. I miss him.

So. End of August. Tomorrow's Christmas. What with the -ber month and all. Haha.Anywho. I'm glad to say my August turned out to be quite fruitful, mainly because I was able to finally--FINALLY!--file my LOI at Nu Skin so I could be an Executive with the company. Though truth is I'm still not quite sure how that happened. All I know is I really really wanted to do that so there, it happened. And I

2008-08-21T23:46:00.000-07:00

Just got home. Had a rather tiring but productive day. Did a product demo in Batangas in the morning. Dropped off my CV at the local cable company. Met up with a friend in Alabang to discuss the business. And now here I am in Makati.I'm so glad I went to Alabang. Despite the fact that I have never been to the place where I was supposed to go and have no idea how to get there. Rather, precisely

Truth is I didn't even expect him to. But I didn't expect this answer either. Yet in a curious way, it touched me more than

maybe i could dance my paranoia away? o.O

2008-08-15T01:57:00.000-07:00

Okay, I get it now. I could choose how to start my day. Had a sucky morning yesterday because of my own paranoia--I let it get the best of me instead of rising above it. Stupid mistake, but at least I've learned. And that's the whole purpose of making mistakes, right? So charge it to experience and move on.On a completely unrelated note, I have been having this rising urge to dance lately.

it all boils down to the decision

2008-08-13T22:18:00.000-07:00

This day started out spectacularly sucky--I had a rather heated argument with Franco right after I woke up. What a rude awakening, eh? And our conversation ended on a vague note and truth is I wasn't sure if we're okay yet. So you could just imagine where the depression was coming from.Anywho, I made up my mind that instead of just letting the whole thing get to me and ruin my whole day, I should

Another day, a not-so-great start. Just makes me want to cry another bucketful more. Shit.But never mind. Rather, mind over matter. I won't let this get me down. I'll go out, do what I have to do and have fun in the process. Even if all I wanna do right now is roll back under the covers, clutch my favorite sarong-turned-blanket and bawl like there's no tomorrow.

There's not enough of that go-and-get-them attitude. All this time, I've been coasting on luck and chance, not relying on my own abilities as I should have been doing.All these I confirmed as I listened to Pax

Okay, it's official. I am now in love with Ava Puhi Moni shampoo.After 48 years of being urged by friends to give it a try, I finally gave in this morning and used it. I was a bit surprised at the consistency--it was thicker than your average shampoo. Honestly, I didn't feel any difference after shampooing. In fact, I was like, "So this is it?"But when I met up with my friends, they were like, "

Had to reschedule the interview because of an upset stomach. Ate too darn much seafood and chocolates at the welcome dinner last night. But can you really blame me? I mean, I LOVE seafood and there were plenty [shrimps, crabs and calamari galore!] laid out literally in front of me. Just how do you expect me to have just a little?

I'm so glad I went to the CS dinner at Dampa organized by Kaycee Sevilla of CS Manila. And it was a good thing too that In came with me. We met a lot of great people and had a lot of fun and laughs. I guess going out of your comfort zone can really be rewarding, as this experience taught me.

Okay, so I'm obsessed with curly hair. That's why I sooooooo loved Emmy Rossum's locks and Franco's hair when it was long--he's had it shorn by this time by the way. It has always been my frustration having straight tresses instead. Of course I could have it permed or curled, but I don't want to risk the damage the processing could do to my hair. Growing out my hair to its current hip-length

Hmmm... What a start for my August.I got online as soon as I woke up to catch Franco online and sure enough, he was. We had a nice conversation going and all that. As usual, he sacrificed precious rest and sleep to chat. Awww. He is such a nice guy even if he insists that he's such a badass. Haha.Anywho, in the middle of our conversation, the company I was applying for called me for another

Rather, those measly few who spare my rantings a few moments of their time to read. Whatever.I just finished chatting with Franco.

Up to now I still don't know if I should laugh or feel insulted. I mean, I took the exam. I'd like to think I passed since they called me back for an interview. The interview went well. But only after all that did the HR drop the bomb--that the position I was applying for had no vacancy. Indefinitely. WTF?So I'm taking another exam or two next week for the available positions--both of which don't

2008-07-11T02:35:00.000-07:00

Franco is possibly the most exasperating person I've ever met in my entire life--and believe me, I've met A LOT.We almost fought because of his webcam, of all things [this is all your fault, Patchi! haha]. Long story. But the bottomline is he finally relented and used his webcam. The catch? He was wearing a pillow over his head with another pillow covering the rest of his face. As in. He wouldn't

But it did cheer me up, aside from giving my face a clean, scrubbed glow. Whee!Since I was still feeling pretty high from that when I got home, I decided I might as well go all the way pampering myself before going to bed. So I took a nice cold shower,

Can't really make things even worse for my situation here in the office.Darn. This thing is starting to turn me into a monster myself. Gotta stop thinking about this if I am to retain even a modicum of decency.

Oh well.Just returned here from Batangas early this morning. Arrived at the condo sometime before 6:00 AM so I guess you could say I have quite some time to kill before going to the office. Just to keep myself awake, I went to the pool for an early

2008-06-27T13:48:00.000-07:00

So there I was in the bath this morning, thinking up and rehearsing how I'm gonna tell Sir that much as I like working in the company, I need to go because of the current situation I'm in. I even dressed [down] for a quick getaway--an antisocial black statement tee, black jeans and black flipflops--fully intending to simply meet up with In and the rest of the pack when I get out of here. And then

Mind vs. the body itself.Life is threatening to overwhelm me yet again. I feel like I'm swimming in the middle of a stormy ocean. There's nowhere to go, nowhere to turn back, only the basic instinct to survive and keep my head

2008-06-24T14:24:00.000-07:00

Okay. It seems I'm not going anywhere--for the moment at least. I passed my letter first thing this morning--printed using the company printer no less--but got no reaction from any of them, negative or otherwise. Whatever.So here I am still at the office, whiling away my time blogging. Haha. Pasaway talaga. But then they're not here at the moment so it's okay. Damn the surveillance cameras--even

I will be leaving because I want to and not because I have to. And yeah, I'm talking about my job.It's no secret in the office that she hates my guts and she's forever trying to get rid of me. She finally got her chance due to my own carelessness and pagiging pasaway. I got a memo earlier giving me 24 hours to explain why the company should not apply the appropriate sanctions--in other words, why

I am sooooo happy that I was finally able to help someone through Pharmanex. That lucky person is a friend and college classmate, May. My group introduced the company and products to her and she was thrilled because she would benefit a lot from it. Case in point: her chronic asthma. One speaker shared that using one of our products, CordyMax, helped strengthen her lungs such that a couple of

2008-06-21T00:33:00.000-07:00

After a lot of deliberation on earphones, headphones, practicality, what I want and what I really need, I came to the conclusion that despite how cool it looks and how good it sounds, those silver and purple Skullcandy Lowriders are simply too bulky for everyday use. Sure, my Sennheiser PX100 is also larger that your average earphones, but at least it can be folded to a manageable size and kept

2008-06-19T00:13:00.000-07:00

Scored myself a real, honest-to-goodness authentic vintage LV bag. A lilac Epi Petit Noe. Complete with the dust bag, serial number and all. Big, BIG thanks to my aunt and uncle who gave it to me. I'm too lazy to actually take a pic of it since I left my camera and phone cable in Batangas, but I found this pic on the net, which is exactly what my bag looks like, sans the tag:Now, before you go

G-Pass and kumpupanda!

2008-06-18T03:37:00.000-07:00

Out of sheer impatience and annoyance at the long queue in the MRT station earlier, I impulsively bought a G-Pass. And so far it worked just fine. The small transaction fee charged by Globe is a pretty negligible trade off considering the time you save not queuing to get tickets.Anywho, I watched Kung Fu Panda with In, Elmer, Weng, Rico and Rachel earlier at Shangri-la. Fun movie, highly

dreams, lessons and an old diary entry

2008-06-15T02:51:00.000-07:00

After that powerful speech by one of Pharmanex's top businessmen, I suddenly realized how little people I know who still have dreams. Rather, who will go out of their way to fulfill their dreams.The truth is, though I have been with the company for less than a month, I can honestly say that I have already learned a lot. And one of the most important things I learned is that most people don't get

If anyone had told me a couple of years ago that in two years' time I'd be roaming the streets of Manila from a part-time gig after midnight, I would have laughed like a hyena and called that person crazy.But that exactly was the case earlier. From the training in Ortigas, which ended past 11:00 PM, I went back to Makati, alternating between walking, bus, walking, jeepney then walking again.

i guess i hate having nothing to do after all

2008-06-12T20:10:00.000-07:00

I didn't go to work today. Partly because I still have a hangover from the heatstroke(?) I suffered yesterday--due to the heat, I had a huge headache, leading to throwing up everything I ate for the day. And that was during office hours, mind you. Barfing on the toilet bowl while my head feels like it's gonna split into two and tears are running down my face is not an experience I'm looking

2008-06-12T02:46:00.000-07:00

Just where can I buy earphone foams for my Sennheiser PX100?I lost one of them and now I can't use the blasted thing. It's just plain awkward and rather painful too. Tsk. And besides, how can I sell it if it's missing an earphone foam?Oh, and yeah, I am indeed selling it if anyone's interested. I bought it for Php2,700 at Abenson in SM Batangas. We can haggle about its selling price, just contact

I gave the last of my LifePak stash to my Lola--that's my paternal grandmother. She needs it more than I do. She's 85, has had a stroke a coupla years before and is rather weak, as could be expected. I do hope it makes her feel better and stronger like it did me. To my other [maternal] grandmother, Inay Po, I gave OptimaOmega to stabilize her fluctuating blood pressure. It's the least I could do

winding down

2008-06-06T23:47:00.000-07:00

I got my gladiator sandals yesterday and wore them to work today. And got a lot of compliments for it too, the cute thing. Haha.Anywho. It's going to be a long weekend, what with the June 9 holiday--Independence day moved? Whatever. Like hell I care. As long as I get some extra rest, that's good enough for me. So I'm going home tomorrow after meeting with In at Ortigas.

more music please!

Oh. My. Gosh.I just saw the most adorable earphones EVER. Hands down. Presenting...the silver and purple Skullcandy LowriderJust how friggin' cool is that? It's the first gadget ever to arouse my gadget lust as of late--aside from the D-SLR cameras of course--and justifiably so. I mean, it's not just the looks and the color--even though I'm a purple freak. The tech spec is just as good:Speaker

I need to sleep. No shit. Everyone does. But I'm a hopeless nocturnal who has a day job. Go figure.Anywho, I didn't take LifePak for a couple of days--probably the reason why my system crashed this morning. Staying up all night and having to work the next day never bothered me before. I still had the energy to go up and about. But after staying up till 4:00 AM last night after a tiring day, I

Let's enumerate rather:I got a job. In fact I'm already halfway through my contract. And hoping to get renewed.I live all by my lonesome away from home. Okay, so I do have roommates, but I still am technically alone

squeaky-clean hair once more

2008-05-30T00:27:00.000-07:00

After 48 years, I was finally able to find a bottle of clarifying shampoo. And it was totally what I needed. My hair is not greasy anymore. You can't imagine my happiness when I finally got my hair squeaky-clean again. Whee! My hair could finally breathe after all this time, thank the good Lord.And another bout of gratitude that Robert, Grace and I were able to get out of the office before 8:00

So. I was able to make it to the premiere of Sex and the City at Mega Mall after all. And what can I say? Just read my über-short review here.Oh, and I still hadn't the chance to buy the motherfuckin' shampoo as I barely made it in time for the movie. Damn.

shampoo and Sex and the City

2008-05-26T23:43:00.000-07:00

Just how the fuck could that be? ShopWise carried all sorts of shampoos--moisturizing, volumizing, organic, anti-dandruff, even lice-annihilating shampoo for crying out loud--but they don't friggin' have any clarifying shampoo of any kind!So I resigned myself to another wash with my regular shampoo--for the second time today--when I got home. Tsk. Yeah, I'm that desperate/paranoid about my

2008-05-26T03:22:00.000-07:00

A clarifying shampoo is on top of my grocery list for tomorrow night. Tonight rather, seeing as it's already way past midnight. Err. Whatever.Thing is my hair is greasy beyond recognition right now and I'm desperate--as in really desperate!--to get rid of whatever gunk has accumulated in there. Argh! As if I even use a lot of hair care products aside from the usual shampoo and occasional

Just spent the last hour arguing with Franco about my other part-time job. Well, not exactly arguing. More like he's trying like hell to talk me out of it and I'm resisting, stubborn as the proverbial mule. I know he's just concerned and doesn't want me to get myself in a mess and I appreciate that, but this is something I really want.I want to make this work. I really do. And I fully intend to

I went into the meeting for my team in my other part-time job and ended up hanging out and having great conversation with my teammates. What's really great is the solid support from the whole group. Each one is evaluated, affirmed and advised. All without it all feeling like a real

That's all there is to it.Besides, I know for fact that I've gained weight. I was a couple kilos heavier when I measured my weight last week. Tsk. All those late-night pizzas are catching up with me.

As promised.For the life of me, I could not see any likeness to Marian. Go figure.By the who, judging by the first pic, I could probably go topless without revealing anything. Just a thought. Haha.

do i really look like dyesebel?

2008-05-15T12:52:00.000-07:00

I don't if it's mass hallucination or what, but my co-workers all agree that I resemble Marian Rivera. Yes, Dyesebel herself--except for the tail part, obviously.And no, I won't be a hypocrite and deny that I am flattered because indeed I am. Hell, it's not everyday you get likened to a pretty girl. Might as well enjoy their delusions while they last. Harhar.Although the only thing I could

I just noticed that my gray contact lenses served to make my already pale face look even paler. Couple that with my messy, past waist-length hair and you've got yourself a contender for the part of a vampiress or some other otherworldly creature in a B-movie--all that's missing is the flowing Victorian lace gown and a couple of deadly-sharp incisors. Haha.

Out of the numb/depressed stage now, I decided I won't leave just like that. Not if I can help it. I owe it to Mr. L since he's the one who hired me and not her. I won't let him down.
