random post

i know i've been posting totally random entries lately cause I don't even have the time to organize my thoughts. that's how toxic the couple of months have been. i can't even count how many times i have seen myself be in 3-4 different places a day.

stop.

shift to a lighter topic.


My Short Christmas Wishlist
Starbucks 2006 Planner (just got it today)
John Grisham's The Broker (from my kris kringle daddy)
mp3 player (not necessarily an ipod)
wallet (i can't find one that i have in mind)
bags (should be more than one)
nice pair of legwarmers (just because i still want to wear skirts even if it's chilly already)
knick-knacks organizer (for my room)
asian dvds (i miss hk movies!)

oh.

i rarely use my phone's camera since it has a capture sound. i wasn't expecting a nice resolution from it but it turns out it's not bad at all.

All It Takes Is Two Weeks

I've been through different emotional states the last two weeks. Two weeks ago, I was feeling pressured. Last week, most people saw how I can be when I get really really pissed off, one moment I was making "parinig" to whoever it was that needed it, the next moment, they were seeing me cry for the first time. Me, who never lets my guards down couldn't help my peers from seeing my tears flow.

But it's during these last two weeks when I got to appreciate some of my officemates. I have this officemate who is super lambing, sometimes, she'll come to my work area just to say she needs a hug or when she sees me with a sad face, she'll come right over and say, bawal nakasimangot and will then hug me right then and there. Then there's one who'd buy me dinner when I can't even seem to get up from my chair so I could grab a bite. Some of them, stepped up the last week to help me with my extra-curricular activities.

It's both heartwarming and saddening because almost all of them aren't regular employees, bound to go anytime (sooner than I expected even). And although I didn't really like our Christmas party's venue (to the point that we had to transfer to Makati for a much better crowd), it was fun spending time with them (will be our last Christmas together anyway but they're planning for an out of town trip sometime january).

Sidenote: Christmas party this year wasn't as fun as last year. But it was the first time that I got to bring home an item from our raffle (i have no such luck when it comes to this) and the second time that I brought home this certain award. *sheepish grin*

what do you say to these?

Enumerated Updates

I decided to do my errands today and so instead of sleeping till later, I woke up 7am just to make sure I can come with my sister. Just to kill time, I'm here at a net cafe in their shopping center. Might as well update...

- This has got to be the most stressful December for me. And it seems most of the people I know are just as busy as I am.

- I'll be working overtime during the next two Saturdays of this month (much to my dismay) just so I can finish my scheduled modules and be allowed to have my leave starting the 19th.

- Before the year ends, I should have made up my mind as to what I will do next. Career-wise.

- I've been feeling down lately but since I'm so tied up with many things, I don't have the time to dwell on them. Which is a good thing, but only temporarily because one of these days, everything will come crashing on me once again.

- People in the office are leaving(/resigning). It breaks my heart.

- I am really praying next year will be a better year. Not only for me but for everyone.
