-- I was invited to join a band. I'm their keyboardist ;)
-- Beach beach beach
-- Get-your-hands-dirty outdoor stuff
-- Splurged on Designer bags, clothes, shoes
-- I was able to buy my own car (and will still be paying for it for the next 2 years huhuhu!)
-- Gambled my money away on stocks
-- Enrolled myself to SAP
-- 7-day work
-- Stress, stress, stress. Spent more time in the office than at home.
-- Lost 10 pounds. GO FUCKING FIGURE.
-- Filed a 5-day leave and flew to Leyte. On my 3rd day I rebooked my flight and went back to Manila. FOR WORK!
I think over the past year I've become more mature and independent. I never ask my parents to buy me stuff anymore cuz hello! I'm earning my own money and nakakahiya to ask for stuff. They should be enjoying their money now. It's such a nice feeling to be able to buy something really big with your own money. It's like.. an achievement :) I don't wanna be stereotyped as some girl without substance. A superficial consumer-driven airhead. One who does nothing but talk about kikay stuff and waste their precious daddy's money... You make your own money already stop leeching! At least I have more to offer. I know I love shopping.. I love going to the salons... I love to talk about the latest Hollywood gossip. But I can talk about politics, the economy, boy stuff, I love sports too... stuff like mountain climbing, swimming, surfing, boxing.... and I exercise my mind almost 24/7 coz I'm a software developer (and damn proud to be a computer geek!). I think I'm done with mindless shopping now (Except the designer bag purchases like twice or thrice a year.) My car goal is done.. Next year I'll be canvassing for a lot here. :)
I've been so damn busy with work I wasn't even able to have a proper out of the country vacation. Those 2-day beach getaways aren't even considered vacation considering the effort plus the hours travel... I did get tangible results from my work. But still.... I feel like my efforts are not being paid off well... Hmm hmm... We'll just have to wait and see. 2007's been one hell of a roller coaster ride. But I won't be able to survive it without my family and friends. You guys you know who you are! I know you're freaking tired of lecturing me and listening to me rant and rant and rant about you-know-who and you-know-what. Let's hope 2008 will be better this time. I can feel it. This year's going to be great.
Oohhh... I remember my 2006, I ended up losing about P70 000 on a wrong investment. And so I thought I'd be all happy splurging away, I rammed my car to a freaking island. So yeah... Well... P5000 insurance is still way better thatn P70 000, yes?

| Stupid irresponsible officemate |
[30 Jul 2007|09:34am] |
Kahapon super nabadtrip ako sa officemate ko.. We have this demo today with our client and I wrote down the list of revisions which are all his... I listed them down because he had to go out Saturday... Anyway, I told him na kelangan namin pumasok ng Sunday to work on the revisions.
Then Sunday morning I learned na kuya's leaving the country na pala this week. So I texted him in the morning sabi ko ok lang ba na 3PM na tayo pumasok kasi lalabas kaming family. Eh di nagreply so sige lang.. I went out and around 3 I tried to call him. Di sinagot.. Maya maya he called me asking where I was.. Sabi ko dito pa rin pero I'll try to leave ASAP.
Tapos maya maya nagtext ako asking him if he started HIS revisions already. Kasi napakahaba ng revisions nya. Di nanaman nagreply. Naginit na ulo ko talaga. Oo lang o hindi! Ako pa maghahabol sa kanya para gawin niya ang revisions nya?!
Pag dating ko ng office unang nakita ko sa monitor nya eh car related forums. Punyeta! All this time nagssurf ka lang?! Leche ka! Ako nagppanic kung ano na nangyayari tapos ikaw nagssurf ka lang?! DI ka man lang nagreply?! Anung klaseng teammate ka?!
Umalis ka na nga ng maaga the previous day para makipaglandian sa tapos ako na-palo dahil palpak yung codes at hirap i-explain bat di pa napapagana ang functions mo!
KUNG MAKIPAGLANDIAN KA SA BABAE MO ANG BILIS BILIS MONG MAGREPLY AT NAPAKAHABA PA! AKO WORK RELATED NAMAN! SIMPLENG OO OR HINDI LANG EH! AKO NA NGA PUMASOK PARA TULUNGAN KA AND I EVEN LISTED DOWN YOUR REVISIONS WHILE YOU WERE OUT YOU UNGRATEFUL ASSHOLE! KUNG DI KO KAYA SAGUTIN ANG MGA TANONG MO SA PROGRAMMING?! So fucking irresponsible.
Anung oras na ko nakauwi ang tagal ng revisions mo.. Dapat umuwi na ko the time na sobrang naasar ako... I wasted my Sunday in the office... Na hindi naman sakin.... leche. Fucking ass...

No drive to work. It's been stressful ever since our client from the US came here. It has only been two weeks and it has been the most stressful moments of my life... And he'll be here till the end of the year. I've had more than enough 24-hour shifts this week and I look like a character from Nightmare before Christmas it's not even funny. Hello freaking big eyebags and yucky skin.... It's not like before... I'm working hard because I want to.. Now, it's because I have to. Pero good thing I can still squeeze in a few social shit.. So di pa naman ako loser.. Hehehe!
Anyhow.. Diverting my mind off work for a while... I really want a bag with gold chain straps.. I'm obsessed..... Seriously I can't work..

Words of Wisdom by my officemate, EJ...
" Proven na to! You can't beat true love. Kahit na saksakan ka pa ng gwapo at nasa sayo na ang lahat, ipagpapalit ka pa rin niya dahil may mahal na siyang iba. Tatalbugan ka pa rin niya kahit napakapangit nya. Tangina! Ang pangit talaga ng boylet nya!! "
Kaya kung pinagpalit ka niya sa pangit, love niya talaga yun! Mag move on ka na! =)
So paano yun? You can't beat true love and Love is blind?
One incident lang with friends.... My friend asked the guard..
Friend: Guard! maganda ba chix ni <insert name here>
Guard: (hesitates to answer) Errrr ... siguro maganda kasi ginirlfriend ni <insert name here> eh.
Friend: HAHAHAHA!
I know that"s quite terrible but i think it's totally hilarious hahaha!

CAR
Been canvassing for a while now for a cute small car.
Honda Jazz
Can't beat Honda. =) I'm just so inlove with the pink one but the agent told me it's been phased out already and they only released a hundred units. So yeah.. Asa...
Toyota Yaris
Not really wowed with this. Plain. And is it just me? Or is the hood really just is weird looking? Pong Pagongish?
Suzuki Swift
Really gwapo car but I'm not sure with the maintenance. I'd really love to get this one plus it's cheaper than Honda Jazz with almost the same features. But I was told that it's not really for keeps, maintenance-wise, that is. And my dad doesn't like it. So yeah... case closed.
Chevrolet
I forgot the name of that small car. Not a chevy fan.
Kia Picanto (Sama na natin to haha!)
Hahaha! My officemates were joking about buying one each to use for errands and stuff.
So yeah. I got the Jazz. =) It's got paddle shifts (or whatever you call it), 7-speed. Not bad too 'coz the stereo's not generic. It's Alpine! the stereo's iPod ready already. Plus I get to have a free iPod and the connector thingy hihi! Mom was a little frustrated why I chose a small one. I should've bought a Civic instead. Mommy I wanted a small car! So yeah...
I actually don't know crap about cars and my officemates have been throwing suggestions on what to buy. They spend like.. a lot for the their cars. Super bad bisyo!
MUSIC
I was invited to join this band to be their keyboardist. So yeah I had nothing much to do anyways and I'd love to brush up on my "skillz that killz". I'm doing it for fun. It's really amusing cuz you see these tough looking guys and they're playing from rock to alternative to new wave to girly songs. So yeah... I'm a geeky software developer by day, and "I'm with the band" at night. Harharhar!
VACATION
I need a freaking holiday! I haven't gotten out of the country ever since the year freaking started! Kung gano karami pinuntahan ko last year ganun kawala this year.. hanep! Oh wait.. I went to Leyte pala and Quezon. Do Batangas, Laguna and Tagaytay count as out of town trips?
I'm tagging along with Accenture's Outdoor club this weekend and head for the mountains somewhere in Rizal (Ehem Inna... punta daw kami sa inyo hehe!) I browsed for the pictures and the summit looks amazing and it's got water falls and all that naturey things haha. To be honest I'm actually scared as hell. I don't know if I'd be able to climb a mountain. Damnit after like 10 minutes of jogging and I'd be panting like crazy! Bundok pa kaya? Goodluck Ellie.. Majorly..
WORK
It's ok.. I can really prove that I can really work under pressure. My boss gave me a project that I had no idea how to start and I had like about half an hour to do it. Normally it would've taken a few hours. But since the VP is leaving for China first thing in the morning to demo the thing I was really freaked out. Thank God I was able to finish it without bugs and he was impressed. Oh yeah baby plus points again! I can't wait for my 40% increase (which was promised! Leche sana hindi stir yun waaah!)
I'm really beginning to love my job. Even though I spend most of my time in front of the peecee (we should get married) I get to handle client work. So I get to communicate with the clients. And I usually get good impressions from them. Yahoo!
Plus I can go out of the office anytime I want. They're very lenient with that as long as we get to finish our work. So yeah. Beat that.
SHOPPING
Zara, Mango, Kate Spade.... So many sales... but no more money.. Haha! I swear I don't even want to compute how much I've spent this year. And the second half only started.. It's time to save. Go stocks!
ME
I lost so much weight over the month it's not even funny!. Part work, part stress, part from all the putanginang-people-they-should-freaking-rot-in-hell! It has been a tough month but I'm getting by. Getting better one day at a time. I have good friends and I'm sorry we don't spend as much time as we would've wanted. But I love you all haha!

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love.

It was a bad day Friday. There's a lot of things going on in my mind right now. And I completely forgot it was boxing day last friday, I forgot my clothes and had to buy new ones.
I'm trying to lose weight. Actually, I'm trying to tone my stomach.. My officemate and I bought this medicine from GNC that would help fasten our metabolism. I lost about 6 to 7 pounds now. I still feel like my tummy's sticking out.
I was supposed to be on leave till Thursday but my boss kept on pestering me, calling me. I had to rebook my flight and fly back to Manila Tuesday.. Went straight to the office..
I'm a mess right now and I have no idea how to fix it.
Went to my officemate's flat in Alabang. I know it's liquor ban for this weekend but we're all feeling down.. Had a few drinks and went straight home.
Life is just so damn complicated...

I've put a wall around me because I am afraid. I am afraid to look weak. Because I am. Because I easily get attached. And that person can easily put down all my defenses. Because that person could easily destroy the walls I worked so hard to build. I could get lost...

| Trip in a nutshell |
[02 Nov 2006|09:36am] |
TEXAS:
- JAGERBOMB
- Eating real mexican food. Enchiladas baby. Makes you want to say.. Screw you Taco Bell!!!!
- Drinking real Mexican tequila
- They got the best clubs downtown. And met a lot of great people. Especially if your friend knows the bartender harhar!
- Why do most Irish pubs start with "Durty"??? "Durty Murphy's", "Durty Miller", ...
- Fun kids. They totally made my stay errr.. memorable and fun
- Having beer, tequila and margaritas with my dad and uncles.
- Pinoys are totally hospitable.
- Every pinoy moms I've met has pimped me to their sons. What's up with that?!
- Shopping at that outlet store in San Marcos. It's crazy
- Romantic Riverwalk in San Antonio... And there I was with my parents.
- My last night in Texas I got totally wasted because they made me drink 3 jagerbombs, 1 Washington apple, Malibu and coke and I don't know about the rest. I didn't know when I got home and my parents and uncle and aunt where by me from head to foot. My dad was upset at first but my aunt and uncle begged him not to yell at me because at least I had a good time and it's my last night anyway. Hahaha! They let it pass. It was crazy. I've never gotten so trashed in my life. Fun though.
CALIFORNIA:
- Went to the typical tourists scenes there.
- We went to this airshow in Miramar Military base. It's like my dad's stepped into his own Toy store where he got all excited talking about Blue angels and whatever hawks or something. I swear that man knows shit about planes, jets and choppers I had no idea. Me? Oh man... Men in uniform.. I almost drooled all over my clothes. Hahaha! It was a win-win situation for us. Nobody got bored. Haha!
- Filipinos everywhere.... It's crazy. We went to this church and grocery store and everybody speaks tagalog.
- My new friend's high school classmate was Adam Brody!!!!
- I really toned down here. This trip was totally family-oriented.
- Disneyland in Anaheim and Sea World in San Diego. Blah. Not that I'm ungrateful. I appreciate the effort but.. 'Tis for kids.
NEW YORK:
- Shopping at Soho.
- Central Park.
- Just walking around.
- Chaos! I love it!
- I could drive here. Drivers are like pinoys haha!
- Salons in New York! They spend like 20 minutes massaging your hair.
- We were invited to this Filipino Club over at Queens.. Boy that strip looked like a colder version of Taft Avenue. No kidding! Anyhow, let's just say that club is for people who truly truly miss Pinas. Think Aegis, Asin for music.. No comment.
ILLINOIS:
- Totally love the suburbs.
- "Egyptian Pilgrimage" King Tutankhamun at the Chicago Field Museum
- COLD
- Shopping again.
- Pre-Halloween whatevers.
- I totally felt it was FALL there.
- Candy shopping!!!
WISCONSIN:
- CHEESE!!
- Cows and horses and barns everywhere. It's like stepping to the set of Smallville.
- Hey Ashton where are you!!!!!!! hahaha!
Ok in three weeks, 7 States (ok 2 not included cuz they're just stopovers,) 10 flights total, 3 different timezones and 2 additional huge luggages later.. I got pretty messed up with the time difference plus changing time to DST (We were flying west to east and so forth). I lost interest in changing my time from my phone and watch and stopped asking for time after changing them twice. It has been fun and I've been spoiled to death by my parents. They really made sure I had fun and let me out. Most white people I met there couldn't believe I'm 23.. They said I should stay and get Americanized so I would look normal.... And so I was like, Don't I look normal?!?!? I went to different parties from a lot of clubs were college people and yuppies hang out, Filipino clubs, Filipino get-togethers to a Halloween party in benefit for the elderly... I had to bring my passport with me when I go to clubs because they think I look like some jailbait and my driver's license is fake. And now I am pooped! I've met a lot of people and our schedule was pretty hectic too. We'd go to best places to shop cheap, eat and hangout where usually locals know.. Hayy sayang. Everything was bitin cuz there were so many places to go but so little time.
I wish we stayed longer in Texas. I had the most fun there..
Still have jetlag. Haven't had much sleep till now because we've been going out during the day since we came back and I'm wide awake at night and I went to a Halloween party when I got here. I've been to so many parties the past weeks to last me the whole year I think. I'm done... for now.
Now I want TAPA KING!

Forever young by Alphaville |
] |
he is my self-inflicted pain, my preposterous diversion, my momentary bliss, my blameworthy experience, my poisonous religion, he is my annoyance, and yet he remains to be... my only happiness.
:
:
I still long for those feelings of contentedness and pure bliss, yet feel the antagonism of pure agony. A good friend once said that letting go of someone is not letting go of the feelings that you have for that person but accepting the fact that that person can never be yours. There will come a time wherein sooner or later, we need to stop wishing for that someone not because you are no longer inlove, but because you know that that someone will be better off without you but with her... If this is the case, I guess it is time to finally let go of him. I must say goodbye one last time. Never to the love I have for him, but to the longings of wanting him in my life. Part of me still longs to hold on; to keep on fighting. But now I realize that this is the part wherein there is nothing more I can do but to smile and be happy for him, even if his happiness means my absence.

....
It's nice that we did some catching up but I really don't like the idea of us talking and feeling close. It's nice that we're sort of friends but frankly I'd rather not have you in my life . It weirds me out na nagtatanong ka at nagpapakwento ng kung ano ano... I don't want anything to do with you so please, let's keep it that way.
.....
Sinabi ko nang di ako pwedeng sumali sa swimming competition dahil wala ako. Talagang chineck pa nila ang schedule ng flights sa NWA para lang masigurado na umaga talaga ko aalis. Hanep. Kanina last resort. Gusto nila akong gawing trainer na lang ng swimming team... Ako?! Trainer?! Patawa ba sila?! Sa totoo lang anung alam ko sa swimming?! Marunong lang ako at abot kaya kong tatapusin ang sprint pero heller?! Di nga ko marnong mag butterfly eh. Patawa ba sila?!
...
Sa totoo lang.. naguguluhan ako.

Thank you. For giving me the best day.
