current addiction: lie to me
Tuesday, February 23, 2010i am glued to lie to me ever since i catched one episode on fox channel. at first, it was only the title that got my attention. a few episodes and i’m addicted. i bought the dvd which unfortunately was not dependable. good thing that one of my officemates had copies of seasons 1 and 2. wohoo! so far i have finished 6 episodes more to go. i’m so excited. haha.
ghost story
Tuesday, February 16, 2010i’m the kind of person who stays out of any topic related to ghosts. i’m duwag and i have a malikot imagination which becomes a deadly combination when it comes to supernatural topics. to preserve my sanity and more importantly so i can close my eyes when i take a bath (haha!), i do not engage in any horror topics, movies, conversations, etc.
suprisingly, i was able to read her fearful symmetry from cover to cover. this book was also written by the author of time traveler’s wife. it’s not bad but it’s not good either. i liked time traveler’s wife more.
anyway, i just wanted to track how many books i’m going to read this year. this is book #1 for 2010. 
new birthday
Tuesday, February 9, 2010thank goodness hk immigration did not have me deported. hahaha! everything went well and i had so much fun. i’ve heard not so nice stories about immigration experiences that i was really anxious about it. well, there is really a huge difference between immigration in hk and ours. immigration people in our airport are very friendly and welcomes guest with open arms as if telling them you can stay here as long as you want which is in stark contrast to immigration in hk. they don’t smile at all. they ask questions about how long you’d be staying, how much is your money, etc.
anyway, every time i would be going out of the country i would be using a different birthday. my passport states 6 instead of 7 and i’m just too lazy to have it fixed. *sigh*
i tried to apply for the e-passport but the man behind the window was too strict. first he had issues about my surname. and then he told me that to have my birthday corrected i had to seek the help from a notary public. well, that’s too much of a hassle for me since i had to go to work that day. it’s irritating that it was dfa’s fault in the first place but i’m the one who has to go through all the hassles to have it corrected. it is not quality service after all. 
hk here i come!
Tuesday, January 26, 2010three of my officemates and i are going to hong kong. woot! woot!
this is my first time to travel out of the country. yey! there goes my hard-earned money. haha!
i’m surprised that i’m not as excited as i thought i would be. wag lang akong mapa-airport to airport ok na. :D
self-control
Thursday, January 21, 2010i can be really reckless at times but i think i am 80% in control and 20% reckless. when i decide to put an end into something, there is a fairly good chance that operation cease and desist will be successul. over the christmas break, i have observed how glued i was to my laptop because i was playing all these facebook games. i was really hooked. then i realized, how i have already neglected reading and watching tv, which used to be my priroties. haha! one day, i just decided that i’ve had it. i stopped farming and cooking and plocking, etc. late last year until now, i have not played any fb game. woot woot!
same thing happened to smoking. two years ago, i tried smoking. i experimented and eventually it became a daily habit. two sticks minimum a day. after one year, i decided i couldn’t take the smell anymore. i hated how my hair smelled like sinigaang dahon and my fingers like burned rubber. i decided to stop and within a week, smoking was out of my system.
sometimes we end up doing things that we know we shouldn’t do because we think that it is just to difficult to stop. but if we really put our mind into it, kaya naman. pag gusto may paraan, pag ayaw may dahilan. :)
who would have known?
Monday, January 18, 2010i was going through my archives and i was pleasantly surprised by my march 9, 2007 blog entry. i wrote about bumping into my childhood crush in divisoria. yes, of all places, sa divisoria pa! haha. he was with his then girlfriend. we had no communication whatsoever until a few months ago. now, after almost three years after that divisoria meeting, we are finally together! woot woot!
2009
Thursday, December 24, 2009in a few days 2010 na. i browsed through my posts in 2009 and well, they were so few. hahaha. i haven’t been writing as much as i used to. i guess i already lost interest in blogging. but i still want to maintain this blog. it helps me recall.
work is still the same. too administrative. i hate it actually. but if i think about how much i’m getting then i think it’s okay. i can do it for another 12 months. my current target is 12 months then it’s either i transfer to a new function or i leave the company entirely. yikes leave the company? what about the car? hahaha! i’ll think about that after 12 months. but i am hopeful that i can transfer to a new function. i want to embrace what it means to be a p&*er but that won’t happen if i stay in my current role. all the good and the bad of being a p&*er.
i left school and won’t probably come back. or probably i will. who knows. school was something i do because i wanted to do something productive aside from work but i guess i lost interest already. school was not meeting my expectations.
i am happy to write that i found love again. yes, not just like but love. wohoo! it was unexpected, a happy kind of surprise. it sounds so corny pala pero happy. i’ll write about the love story some other time when i feel really, really corny. hahaha. siguro i will write about it on our 12th month so matagal pa yun haha. so far, he’s really nice but we’ll see after a few months. haha. i’m not being nega, i just want to be practical about it. expect the worst but hope for the best.
halo-halo
Sunday, September 20, 2009yikes, it’s been a month since my last post. i attended the 7habits training this week and i said one of the things that i would like to really do regularly is to blog. it used to be a stress-reliever for me. it allows me to sort of meditate. with all the mindless activities that i engage in to pass the time like fb games, online games, and tv, i no longer have quiet time to think. plus blogging lets me earn a bit of money haha. blogging also allows me to keep tabs on people. sometimes people do nasty stuff that i tend to forget. yeah that’s really not part of 7 habits but i think i need it. it sounds so vindictive. bwahaha.
i also decided that i should start a physical activity because i live a very sedentary lifestyle. i thought of jogging in up on weekends. hopefully this will materialize before september ends. or probably i can just utilize the treadmill we have at home. it’s been accummulating dust since nobody ever uses it. haha.
i did not enrol this semester for so many reasons. number one is of course work. with the migration project starting next week, i don’t think i would be able to attend classes. the schedule of the project is aggressive and i don’t intend to be left behind. number two reason is that i don’t see any point in it anymore. maybe now is not the right time for me to take mba. i’d like to go back of course hopefully next semester. i have so much unfinished business and i don’t want to add mba on the list. number three, i’m tamad. this reason is just related to the first two reasons. i’m tamad because i want to focus on work. i’m tamad because i don’t see the value in it at the moment.
what else do i want to write about? hhmmm… bdo is such a pest. i hate their customer representatives. they are irritatingly bastos. i think bdo should find another company to outsource their customer service.
a few weeks ago, i saw paprika’s shoutout on facebook. “i like the rain because she loves it.” i think i got hurt for a few minutes and then i thought “bakit?”. if i don’t want him in my life why should i feel bad. i’m just being selfish. i know that don’t want him anymore but i don’t want him to move on as well. that’s just wrong so to hell with it. it’s all about the ego. but just to keep my peace of mind, i clicked the hide button so i won’t see any similar shoutouts that might irritate me in the future.
steelworm and i are dating again. i think it’s more of a psychological thing not a romantic thing. i don’t know maybe if you’re older, dating is based on a rational decision rather than a kilig factor. dating is so much fun when you’re young and naive. when you’re 26, you begin to think about all these things that takes away the fun in it. well, whatever.
finally free
Monday, August 24, 2009this day started off great, then turned sour, then stabilized, but fortunately it ended up pretty great.
i’m really, really happy that i am finally free. the sem is officially over. no more exams, no more papers, no more reports, and most importantly no more gen man and no more services. wohoo! i think i was absent half of the semester but it has been toxic just the same. i can now go back to my regular tv/dvd viewing sessions, late nights not to study but to watch more tv/dvd, and reading. books that i actually want to read (not forced to read) have been piling up on my bedside.
i’ll probably stay out of school for a while but who knows, i might change my mind next week. i’m 80% sure that i will apply for LOA but there is still that 20% that’s telling me not to. well, i have returned all the readings that i have borrowed and claimed books that i have lent if in case i go on leave. decisions, decisions, decisions.
