i'd completely forgotten that i still have a livejournal account. what happened? well, multiply and facebook happened... now, i can't decide if i'm gonna continue this or just delete it. i've already indicated on my friendster blog that i'm no longer gonna post there, and now i'm thinking of eliminating this one too... what do you think? part of me wants to revive this so i'm still undecided. 1 thing's for sure, i'll be deleting my blogspot accounts... but lj? not entirely sure yet...

i'm back! i will be updating this once again! will be reviving my lj account soon!

I'm exhausted. Well, to be exact, my voice is (notice the present tense) exhausted. It's been a busy day at work. It's always busy on the first day of the month or rather on the first week of the month. So what I'm doing now is giving myself some stress-relieving moment by having a voice rest while blogging (or bloghopping). Nakakatanggal ng stress.

Anyway, happy pa rin. At least I'm enjoying my work despite the minor boo-boos like having technical glitch on my means of transportation, dagdagan pa ng customer na pasaway. But at the end of the day, it's a nice feeling to know that it was a productive day. And of course what made it more good are the people surrounding you.

...and rizza i don't think we can pursue the gang's planned outing this Sun. Medyo alanganin eh. let's just think of an alternative.

march 24 - it's our pet cat's birthday. and it's also his death day as well. mojacko, the white blue-eyed cat with a big heart! a sweet lovable, behaved cat. i wonder if what he's doing? is he with odie? (mari's cute white dog).

anyway, for this week, i'm glad that lrt and mrt's finally up and running. i've been riding a taxi going to work for 3 days 'coz lrt and mrt's not open last holy thursday, good friday, black saturday and easter sunday (i'm glad i don't have work yesterday - easter sunday). i've spent almost 400 php already just for a cab ride going to work. imagine, how many stuffs i could buy for that amount! tsk...tsk...

oh-kay, as for yesterday, i spent the whole day with the family. we went to MOA and ate at gerry's grill! Of course i ordered my favorite food which is sugba kilaw! yummy! just thinking about it makes me hungry again.

well, while i'm thinking of something to post, i'm currently chatting with omichi. my instincts told me that she'll be online today and i'm not mistaken... good thing my laziness didn't show up.

hay.... what else... my rest day today falls on a sat -sun which is sooo good since i wanted to attend the pyrolympics on sat and our lola's going back to canada on sunday. on the other hand, my rest day next week falls on a thursday and friday, meaning i will be sooo late on sunday's anime costripping since my shift is 8am to 5pm on april 6. worse, i have work on monday! but i WILL STILL come and attend the event coz i really, really, really want to wear my costume na! so bahala na kung pagod kinabukasan. for the sake of the WINNER group. (uhm... i'm not sure if we are somehow connected to quatre winner of gundam wing... ask nanz or mari for details)

that's it muna. ang sakit na ng kamay ko sa kakatype.. i've been infront of the computer the whole day already.

*please do not mind the title of this post. just currently listening to beatle's eh. i don't know. eversince AI featured beatles nawili na ko sa songs nila. ayos! yun lang.

good news for me!

joy! joy! we got salary increase! spell H-A-P-P-Y!

it's high time that they give us a raise! yey! we deserve it noh. of course it wiil take effect on our next next pay out pa. but i'm willing to wait. pera yun no. LOL

oh-kay... hmm, share ko lang. in this world you cannot avoid those (sorry for the term) "bitches." you see, before and after work, i encountered those types of women. well, eto, tatagalugin ko na, yung mga akala mo kung sino!

this is before i went to work: on my ride via the ever super slow lrt, on the women's side, the girl across me is staring at me from head to toe! and i even stared at her, and guess what no effect. instead of looking away, lalo pa akong tinitigan! the nerve! actually, i often saw her in the wee hours of morning. lagi ko nakakasabay sa lrt. i hate her. eevrytime na magkasabay kami, she'll stare at me. who the hell are you anyway?

then this happened naman after work, on my way home this time via the ever so matagal-magbukas-sa-umaga na mrt, siyempre, uwian, siksikan... this girl, let me rephrase that, this monster of a girl, keeps on pushing me! i even said "tulak ng tulak" and you know what? she just stared at me, so inirapan ko. promise! i'm not usually like this but if you're on my position you'll be totally pissed off. you've been working 9 hours, encountering some irate and sometimes mahina-pumick-up na customers... then what do you get, mga bwisit na tao na kung umasta akala mo kung sino. as much as i want to ignore it, i just can't.

but then again i get to review my day, buti na lang, almost 3/4 of it were nice. i get to enjoy what i'm doing kahit na pagod, i've had this great news pa about the salary thingy, good stats once again! and i did something good to a fellow officemate pa. malamang yung mga bitches na yun may kinalaman lang yan sa dream ko kanina. i think my dream last night is a sort-of warning from God that I'll be encountering this today.

and my dream is nice ha. mari's in my dream pa nga eh. i was riding the lrt, this girl pushing me, and then sa isang station sumakay si mari (which ay nangyari na the other way around) at ayun gyinera nya yung nakaaway kong pasahero! which is sooo like her! hahaha! ayos.

anyway, what had happened already happened. past na, so tomorrow should be a brand new BETTER day. if today is better tomorrow should be better times two!

i had a great day! hahaha! ayun.

well, the purpose of my update is to wish my friend christine GOODLUCK on her thesis defense this coming Wednesday! Ika nga ni ex-DOH secretary Juan Flavier: YOU CAN DO IT!

Think positive, be positive!


**** funny ha!

-wala po kaming sprite float!
-pero meron kayong sprite?
-meron.

it's hard to talk especially when you have runny nose. but i observed that everytime i have 'sipon' or i'm 'paos' mas gusto ko ang boses ko. but i can't wish to have runny nose forever just to have such voice. the downsiode is, i'm not feeling well. but still, i'm the type of person that even though i'm not physically good, i see to it that i will go and finish my task. but, there's a disadvantage if i'm on such state such as not being able to think straight, or i have double vision. promise. minsan naduduling ako. and aside from that kanina, of course part of my job is to probe questions, i couldn';t formulate a decent sentence. para bang my body is present by my mind and soul is absent. haaay. ganito talaga ako if i'm not feeling goo. ayoko naman umabsent. medyo doon matigas ulo ko. i keep on pushing myself to the extent na pag-uwi ko sa bahay, salampak na sa kama. buti nga nakuha ko pang mag-update nito. well, dahil naman yan sa sobrang miss ko ng mag-blog.

well. i can't think ogf anything to share. oh, and about my sched, i think it's not a fix schedule (hmp!) kasi i thought i'm on 6am-3pm na for the rest of my office life at work and sat sun will be my rest day, sabay when i checked my schedule for next week, it's 9am (dayshift pa rin) although i hate the rush hour thingy. and i really REALLY need my OFF to fall on a SAT-SUN!

sana nagkamali lang sila ng pag-plot ng schedule. friends please do pray na sana ma-maintain ang sched kong 6am at off kong sabado at linggo.

i have to admit, i'm way behind into giving my year end report. all my friends have their hello 2008 and goodbye 2007 post and here i am just beginning to think of memories to share. but one thing's for sure, i've got loads to tell. so better start now:

first, 2007 is a GOOD year for me. Good because on the first quarter of the year i've got a job that pays well- minus the stress of course, and new friends (graveyard peepz), and did i mentioned it pays well? Yup, was able to indulge into lots of my-so-called *wants* AND needs as well.
You see, I'm REALLY choosy when it comes to work. I've got lots of criteria before I accept a job or apply a particular position. It should be travel-wise which sums up the: transport type and amount, traffic, time etc. Then the CASHing-CASHing!

but due to a very stressful work, i need to slowdown 'coz of health and eventually, i ended up resigning from my first call center job. but i guess it's a good thing because i get to bond with my family OFTEN 'coz i observed or realized more like it that ever since i started working at nights, i seldom see them and talk to them. it's pretty obvious actually, you work at night, youe go home, eat lunch or dinner (don't know which is which anymore) and then sleep- then wake-up get dressed and work! a routine that probably caused my health to go down, down, down.

aside from that, the good thing about being bum for 6 months was i get to appreciate the word called MORNING! Yup, I get to bond with the sun often since I always woke up early and join my dad, strolling around baywalk. fresh air, manongs going fishing, lolos and lolas exercising, the early smell of bread and a heavy breakfast!

and in between those bum days i get to be with friends. catching up with a lot of things. to see them is to see my 2nd family. having the same way of thinking (puro anime laman ng utak) LOL. it is different when you get to joing crazy people who makes you laugh and gives you a lot of info.

second, i get to have a new job. My current job actually. i like it so much! the people, the work, the time... (although i've worked 3am to 12pm for a week which ended this noon) i still like it. but what made me like it more is because i've already got a permanent time *hopefully* (6am-3pm) and my off falls on a SAT and SUN! i love it! it pays well but I'll be honest, i can't compare the amount to my previous one but i don't care, i still like it.

hmmm... but not all are good for this year, omichi left us for work - JAPAN. but still, we're still connected with all the 'gadgets' available for communication. and a bit of change also took placed in our group. but still, there's a reason for that.

additional turn of event was my lola's unexpected home coming... it's not planned actually. it's a surprise since we just learned about her arrival 2 weeks before she arrived.

all in all 2007 is a year wherein i get to explore the real world. i'm starting to discover more. i won't say i'm out of my comfort zone but i'm slowly letting myself try new things that won't affect my real self.

I want to thank a lot of people: mari, nanz, omi, yotan, jan, riz & the rest of the angels, my etel team-mates, wavemates, my new wavemates especially cristel and ino, my trainors, and the rest of my officmates who i get to know in the past weeks... and of course my family.

and i'll never forget to thank the SUPREME! GOD!

OH. MY. GOD. I've been working for a month already! All I can say is that I am so happy. That's it. Although, I still need to budget my salary. I need to lend some for my mom so our divi trip for tomorrow's canceled. Hopefully I can do my holiday shopping before the 20th but due to some 'unexpected' turn of events, this seems to be impossible. I guess i have to shop alone once i got back my budget. Oh well, when it comes to family matters, i don't have a choice but to go with the flow. Confused? Me too. Don't mind me. I just need a space for me to pour out what I'm thinking or else I'd go crazy.

I joined or rather i supported my co-anime-fanatic/costripper peers at yesterday's UP AME. It was fun and worth my 100 bucks entrance fee. It's been awhile since I attended this kind of event were you get to see live anime characters like you were really inside their world. Too bad I didn't get to play one but there's always next time (how cliche). There's another event this coming Sat-Sun but unfortunately I need to bail out 'coz of work. But I'm looking forward to whatever's next 'coz the gang are planning to wear kimono (which I really REALLY want to do).

The gang's also plannning on costripping D-Grayman (which i haven't seen yet - better buy a copy) and guess what? I'll be a villain, not just villain but the only villain on our group! whaaaaaa! I need company! Anyway, nothing's final yet... XD



For AYA: salamat sa STAR! I loooove it! hahaha! San niyo binili yun? I want to buy different colors eh. hahaha!

For NANZ: Sis! grabe! how come you always know what I like? hahaha! Salamat sa mga binibigay mo! sa dami nun ang hirap ng i-enumerate!

For JAN a.k.a Zaido Red (hahaha!): ang tagal na natin di nagkita ah! I'm glad nagkita tayo yesterday!

Riding LRT in the wee hours of morning, say around 5:20 am is totally different compared to riding it during rush hours. People looked groggy, staring into space. Expression unreadable. But to stand up the entire time you're riding can make you avoid being one of them. During my bum months after resigning from my previous job, I woke up 10am or sometime almost 12pm. Now, I have to drag myself out of bed at 4:30 am even my sleepy head says I don't want to. Then again, I'm also the type of person that follows schedules.

So far, I'm adjusting little by little. The funny thing is that, starting last Tuesday, I founnd myself waking up even though the clock says it's only 2pm and I still have few hours of sleep. Then once again, I'll wake up, and when I check the wall clock, it says 3:30... weird.

I wonder if I will experience it later?

Anyway, tomorrow's Friday! I'll make 'bawi"! Shall sleep early and enjoy the weekend. XD

I feel like my energy was drained out of me. I've slept until 11:30 this morning and when I woke up, it's like I haven't slept for 10 hours already. You see, I've spent the whole day yesterday and the day before outdoors. No need to elaborate this one. I'll put it this way: JOB. That will sum it up. I'm to start on Monday. Excited? Yes. Nervous? Yes. Scared? Maybe.

Well, goodluck to me. I need to adjust my sleeping pattern since the work starts at 6am, and sometimes 7am which is A-OK for me. XD

I just heard Backstreet Boys' Everybody and Michael Jackson's song Thriller (FYI: I'm not a fan of them), then My Chemical Romance's Helena and Ghostbuster's famous theme song. Obviously it is the season to play this songs on TV.


Happy Halloween Everyone! XD

i'm done reading the 2 out of 3 books that sis nanz lent me, and i am starting the 3rd one. I think those books deserve a second round of reading. when i like the story, i usually end up reading it all over again until i began dreaming about it. well, not all really. oftentimes it's only a part in the story that gets inside my subconscious mind. so going back, as i'm about to begin reading the story of the third book, i told my self to have a break, have a kitkat. well, in this case, not a kitkat but have a TIME to update my journal.

I especially like the first one that I read. It's a simple story of how a boy meets boy. That's why the title of the book is simply, Boy Meets Boy. (I need to thank Nanz for suggesting me to read this XD ). The second one I read is about addiction...denials, and being able to survive it. Pretty amazing how the characters surpassed the phases they will surely undergo to overcome their addiction. To be honest, When I'm reading the book, I began to hate the lead character. She's so selfish... but in the end, you can't help but admire her. Cool. So while I still have these copies, I better read it again. XD

But if you think that all i do is read, no. I sometimes eat, sleep and watch the anime series mari and nanz lent to me. Like reading, I'll be re-watching it too. So far I got to finish xxxholic, shippuden and am now on the first episode of the anime where Sunako's the center of attention. Now I know who Sunako is (I often hear mari talking about her...) In advance tnx to mari!

And of course, will I forget to include my crush's jdorama? Of course not. Toma's sooo cute! (walang kokontra!) XD Arigatou sis nanz!

*sigh* it's almost 1:30 midnight. gotta hit the sheets. i guess my next post will still be about my adventures with the books and anime. XD

odie's now in heaven. odie we'll surely miss you!

to mari: odie's lucky to have you as his master/best friend.



*for mojacko (our deceased pet): be friends with odie ok? we love you!

i just read mari's journal earlier and found out that she bought herself a new cellphone! wow! lucky girl! :) well, i also asked her myself earlier (during the chat session) and yes, it's confirmed. i'm so happy for her. she deserves it!

and since the topic is about cellphones, i might as well give an update about my cellphone. Poor. Old. Cellphone. i have this feeling that it will soon give up on me. you see, during the past months, the phone shows the effect of being accidentally dropped to the hard floor (wood, marble, you name it). worst, the phone malfunctions on times i needed it most.

i couldn't just put the phone away because it is MY PRECIOUS (voiced by gollum). It was a gift from my parents during my college graduation. But of course, i couldn't erase the fact that this gadget has its limitations. Maybe I'll put it in a glass case with spotlight and name plate labeled: MY PRECIOUS CELLPHONE!

oh well, i guess i now understand how gollum feels.

Home alone. Umalis si Mama at si AJ kanina-kanina lang. So i end up being alone guarding the house. Actually, wala naman talaga silang plano umalis today. But because of my cousin's text message, they decided to just be the one to go at her school rather than her going here. Hay naku, sometimes I couldn't help it pero nakakainis eh. In the first place why don't she ask her parents for her tuition? Oo nga, they are (dalawa silang nag-aaral) my cousins. Pero sometimes sumosobra na eh. Minsan, there's a time wherein pati sila mama kinakapos and yet sa amin pa sila umaasa. Even though their father is my uncle, I couldn't erase the part of me being so pissed off at him. He's irresponsible.

Yung pang-gastos sa bahay na pinapadala ni papa, minsan nahahati pa because of them! Di bale kung makikita mong nag-eeffort din sila na humanap ng panggastos nila but NO. They're not. Sino ba namang maiinis dun. Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang, but we (me and my bros) didn't give our parents "sakit ng ulo" and then sila ganun? Perwisyo. yan ang word na bagay sa pangyayaring ito.

It's really annoying when you wake up without any worries and then suddenly eto ang sasalubong sayo. Take note, minsan umuutang pa si mama because of them. Hay naku, hindi talaga maiiwasan na may relatives kang ganito.

I hope you're not experiencing the same situation. But if you are, tell me para naman malaman ko kung kahit papaano ay may sense ba ang rant na ito.

hello y'all!

how R you? is it another manic monday? i guess not since most of the working people are at home. Holiday eh, at least in the Philippines.

Well let's just segue to a different topic...

i couldn't help but reminisce some events that happen during our theater class way back during our 3rd year in college. I'm currently listening to Mother-Superior singing Climb Every Mountain, the part wherein Maria returned to the convent...of course, from the movie musical Sound of Music. Star Movies is currently airing it and my brother is watching it now. Haayyy...there's a lot of memorable happenings on stage and in the backstage. Scary, fun, halo-halo eh.

o siya i need to stop here. dial-up really sucks.

finally! eto na ako at makakapag-update na! i wasn't able to use the net for 9 or 10 days. siguro good thing na rin. bawas gamit ng kuryente.

so ano na ba ang nangyari? well, supposed to be i'm already employed by this time. but upon weighing the pros and cons, with the help of friends, napag-isip-isip ko, wag na ituloy. actually, mas madaming disadvantage. and aside from that, i'm not even sure if i want to work already. promise. parang attached pa ako sa 2 and a half months na night shift ako. my mind says na i should find work na, but my body says: Wait lang!

of course we have some money issues. and some problems that pops out unexpectedly. and that's one of the reasons why my mind says work! work! kaya sa panahong umuulan, what i do is reflect. ano ba ang gusto ko talaga?

my ideal job is a job wherein i'm tasked to do what i love to do. siyempre nahirap mahanap yun. but i'll do my best to find it.
