samu't saring topics

cause i can't figure out what to write first, eto na lang.. isang sabog na entry.

- my officemate left for japan yesterday to spend the golden week with her husband. she's supposed to come back on the 11th of may cause her contract ends on august pa. but i feel like she's not going back to work here anymore. i miss the girl. seriously. one day pa lang sya nawawala ha. i don't have my eating and laughing partner anymore. wala na rin ako ulit kasabay when going home. on one part, ok na rin. at least baka mabawasan na yung taba sa braso. tumataba na talaga ako. no joke.

- ang gastos ko lately. as in.

- dami kong gustong bilhin na asian movies. excited na ko.

- malapit ng matapos yung isang cross-stitch namin. what's next for me kaya? can't wait to get my hands on a new crafts project na.

- ang daming nagreresign at gusto mag-resign. makes me wanna re-think of my future plans. parang na-diskarir na ko e. i said i'd give myself 2-3 years, working in the it industry and then be a student once again, full-time. but lately, i've been thinking of where i wanna apply when i decide to quit working here.

- sometimes i don't like reading blogs from college people. why? kasi naiinggit ako. pero i still keep on coming back. i wanna do what they're doing. gusto ko rin yung pag tinanong ako, uy, musta na? hindi parating, eto busy pa rin sa work ang sagot ko. i miss being busy and doing a lot of stuff. ayoko nitong nakatali lang sa iisang ginagawa. ayoko nitong nakaupo lang buong araw.

- 11 days to go before elections. i hope people vote. please lang. and yup, i have decided already.

- angela's back from the states. at finally, makakapag night out na kaming 5 ng kumpleto mamaya.

parang nung february lang yun nung na-surprise ako ng ganito.

tapos eto na naman now.

anyway, congrats to you. super happy for you.

should've been posted yesterday

message of the day:

yesterday... i realized that i haven't been me.

one, i haven't been reading books like i used to. what was the last book i even read anyways??? i haven't been to any powerbooks outlet since march. that's one whole month of no powerbooks visit! so last week, despite the fact that I am really really busy at work, i thought of reviving my old reading habits by placing Milan Kundera's Identity in my bag. only problem is, i have yet to open its pages.

two, i haven't been to glorietta or greenbelt for this whole month of April as well. again, that's not me. even my dad was surprised, telling me nights back, "himala't parang d ka naglalakwatsa ngayon?". (but that doesn't mean i haven't been shopping like crazy, after all, there's still saturdays and sundays and it's not like these are the only malls around).

and three, i've been watching tv incessantly. from variety shows to talk shows to movies i've already seen not only once.

one thing i learned? patience is a virtue. it pays to be glued on tv when there's really nothing worth watching anymore. cause when i was just about to give up, Waterboys came into view.

it's a movie about young men wanting to be synchronized swimmers and succeeding in the end. it's one heck of a funny movie, i tell you. nevermind if they're speaking japanese, and the subtitles are in chinese. nevermind if i can't say i was able to get all they were saying. but i did enjoy the movie. really entertaining (said to be one of the best japanese movies of 2001).

also saw, The Legend of Speed yesterday. Not really a good one, more of a The Fast and the Furious inspired movie.

blogger just ate my post! and i didn't even write it on notepad first!

i have to re-type everything!

grrr!

or maybe not..

kakatamad!

Aha! Now I know why I've been in a slothful mood these days...

lam mo yung feeling na ang dami-dami mong gustong isulat hindi mo na malaman anong gusto mong unahin???

yun ang pakiramdam ko ngayon.

pero tingnan mo naman ang mga posts ko lately. parang na-limit na lang sa 1 to 3 lines.

kasi tinatamad ako. SOBRA!!!!

i don't feel like working today.

i'm too lazy to work.

alam kong hindi lang ako ang hindi pa nakakapag-decide talaga sino bobotohin para sa pagkapangulo.

you should read this... i'm sure there are other threads in forums that discusses this.

yesterday's news

roco decided to go abroad, less than a month before election day. great timing huh?!

coke or pepsi

saw the new pepsi tvc that has Beyonce, Britney and Pink wearing gladiator costumes and Enrique Iglesias acting as the Emperor last night. i'll have to give it to the pepsi company for getting all four of them in one ad just so we can see 3 different singing styles of this Queen original, We Will Rock You (as if we haven't had enough versions of this).

there goes the difference between a coke and a pepsi tvc.

let's just say, when i watch a coke ad i usually have this to say: "katuwa yun a" (think of the Mismo and the Coke Ko 'To ads). on the other hand, after a pepsi ad is shown, i say (Jerry Yan's and this new ad): "ha? ano yun? yun na yun?".

could just be me, but it makes me think that the pepsi company does not have that much respect to the consumers. why? 'cause they use people with pretty faces to encourage them to buy their product. it's so superficial.

disclaimer: i don't "hate" pepsi.

diet

i've noticed my arms are not how they used to be. i have this hunch that i've gained weight since last january. but i didn't dare look at the weighing scale to check.

and then last monday, jun was in the office to kill time before he heading to someone's birthday bash. what do you know? he said: parang tumaba ka a. although he followed it with these words: in a good way naman. hindi gaya nun, parang sobra payat mo. (hmm.. if i know, palubag-loob lang yun.. haha)

just today, me and angela met up for a few minutes, she said she'd meet me first before she buys dinner at kfc. what is she buying? just go-go. asked her if she's dieting, she answers with a: mejo. what the??? she doesn't need to diet!

looks like they're telling me something eh? anyway... no need for that... think i'm gonna cut down eating chocolates and fattening foods here in the office especially if i'm not hungry. might as well find something productive to do at home on weekdays to keep me from pigging out (that way, i wouldn't have to hear my sister say: parang gutom na gutom ka a).

sheesh.. and i thought i couldn't get fat anymore...

holy week in a single post

Tuesday - got home late but decided to watch Love Actually for the second time. slept at around 2 in the morning.

Wednesday - woke up late. watched this Korean movie, Pisces on cable. slept and then watched tv some more. watched Mona Lisa Smile and Something's Gotta Give with my sister. slept at 2 in the morning once again.

Thursday - woke up a little bit early than the day before. surfed the net. went outside to watch while it rained. slept. played domino with my sister then my dad. watched Last Samurai (felt like it was a cross-between Braveheart and Seven Samurai) and Runaway Jury (for the second time) with my sister. slept at 4 in the morning.

Friday - woke up really really late. surfed the net. went outside to watch while it rained once again. watched tv. lazed around. watched Passion of the Christ and Love Actually (for the third time) with my sister (who else???). slept at 3 in the morning.

Saturday - woke up early. me and my sister cleaned and washed our bags (which took us longer than we thought). slept. watched tv. mulled over if we should or should i say, we want to watch Master and Commander (decided not to). watched 50 First Dates. slept at 12 midnight.

Sunday - woke up late thus we weren't able to go to church (very guilty). surfed the net. played monopoly with my sis, and millionare's game after that. prepared my things and then finally went home to manila.

in short, i did nothing but watch dvds, play board games, act like a petulant child, and pig out like there was no tomorrow the past few days.

seemed like i wasn't any different from those people who took advantage of the holy week to travel somewhere with their family members. seemed like i didn't know what holy week was all about, huh?

maybe it's because i don't wait for the holy week to reflect and be grateful of His sacrifice for us. maybe i don't like it when people think that it's only during holy week that they should be "mabait". maybe i'm just justifying my being a bum last week... then again, maybe i do have a point.

writing hand

love the bangles

One week of being ym-incommunicado.

but I think I may have seen the light!!! (with regards to the module I'm working on).
