"divi-stuff"

miranda is treating us for a summer outing in boracay.:D last year, she also sent us to boracay but unfortunately we only had one sunny day in bora and 2 stormy ones.  we were like the cast from lost.

this year, they are planning to have group games and activities  i'm not too ecstatic about the group competition thing.  i'm competitive but not sporty at all. 

anyway, since there will be competitions dubbed as "the amazing race", there will be "amazing prizes".  so we went to divisoria to buy "cheap" amazing prizes. haha!

i was surprised to see my childhood crush in divi.  he was with his girlfriend.  binati naman niya ko.   i was too preoccupied with haggling with the tindera that i didn't get the chance to chat with him.  he still looks cute. haha.

Jo’s date

the date i set up between jo and my high school classmate went okay.  overall, i think they both had a good time.  my classmate was a clown and jo needed a good laugh.

however, it's a little irritating that my classmate seems to be unprepared.  needless to say, the date was too friendly.  they were like two old friends just catching up.  it's kind of a good thing but it's too casual.  he even asked jo where she wanted to have dinner without giving her any options.  i can't believe that he didn't have a plan! it's really annoying! buti na lang he was funny otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

paying for quality service

i went to dfa this afternoon to apply for a passport.  i have been planning to get a passport for the longest time but i keep on putting it off due to katamaran.  since i might go to singapore in may and the plane ticket needs to be booked right away, i had no choice but to go to dfa.

i arrived at the dfa office at around 12 pm and i was through by 1pm.  i think that's really fast for a government transaction.  i commend the dfa for offering a courtesy lane for government employees like me. and they also do not have the 12-1pm lunch break which in other government offices extends until 2pm.  however, i do not agree with the extra charge of P250 so you can get your passport two days later.  why are they charging their clients for efficient service?  government offices should render efficient service without asking for an extra charge.

trading dates

jo and i are setting up dates for each other.  how desperate are we?!  haha!  i really don't think that this date trading is out of desperation, but of course when we tell other people about it they would definitely think that we are desperate rebounders. 

we just want to have a little fun and to broaden our network of friends.  we're not looking for romance, just friendship.  but of course, if romance comes out of the dates that would be fantastic! haha. 

i'm setting her up with a high school classmate and she's setting me up with an officemate.  jo and my classmate have already started texting.  i'm happy that jo finds him amusing and that he has not committed any grammatical errors so far.   i hope they will enjoy their date on friday.  i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

my would-be date and i might go out on saturday.  he is a member of the no-gf-since-birth club.   we allegedly have the same level of kadaldalan and katahimikan. i think we're both boring people.  i wonder how our date will turn out. 

we haven't talked nor texted but he told jo na sana daw mag-click kami. i just hope that we would be good friends.

greenhills after office

i have been spending a lot of time with joan lately.  we've been friends since college but now we spend more time together than we used to.

unfortunately, we are bonding lately because we are both in a pathetic recovery from a break up stage.  misery truly loves company.

kanina we went to greenhills.  i bought a shirt and a blouse.  jo was able to buy a bag and a stuffed toy.  she was so eager to buy a stuffed toy.  she jokes that a stuffed toy won't leave you unlike a boyfriend.  haha.  anyway, she named it hug and today is hug's official birthdate.

we were so hungry after almost 2 hours of looking around.  we had dinner at won ton in promenade.  we had beef stew and chicken teriyaki.  the food was good but not really spectacular.  buti na lang, it wasn't expensive.

it was already past 10 but traffic was still heavy on my way home.  all of a sudden i feel empty.  this too shall pass.

addicted to blog hopping

since senate is on break due to the upcoming elections, there's not much to do in the office.  we have three main tasks during the break: (1) archiving our files; (2) updating miranda's books; and (3) drafting bills and resolutions.

to keep myself from getting bored, i do blog hopping.  this is my current amusement in the office.  it also helps me keep my mind off paprika dramas.

as of this moment, i think i have visited more than 30 blogs already.  haha.  i wonder what my officemates are doing to amuse themselves.

i love session breaks!

mga feeling pulitiko

eleksyon na naman at nagsusulputan na naman ang mga ambisyoso.  pwede ba hindi porket sikat kayo, pwede na kayong mag-ambisyon na maging senador o congressman. 

legislation takes more than just charms and the so called willingness to serve the public.  it's a cerebral task. 

hopefully, voters will make good decisions.  no more bong revillas and lito lapids. 

longest weekend ever

i think this has been the longest weekend ever.  i slept a lot, watched tv a lot and ate a lot.  my body feels so relaxed. 

i got a massage from our neighbor's manang masahista.  i kinda liked it but i still think ptm's massage is the best.  i hope i'll find a boyfriend who knows how to masahe.  ung masahe na mapapapikit ka sa sobrang sarap!  haha.

i'm re-reading Love in the Time of Cholera.  i read this book when i was in second year college.  it was a requirement for my hum 1 class.  i'm re-reading it because i ran out of books to read. i just finished Deception Point  which was okay.  i loved the ending primarily because the women regained control over the situation.

quality time with myself

i love going to the mall.  it has been a habit.  most of the time, i just window shop and buy pasalubong for my mom and my brother.  lately, i have been buying a lot of small stuffs but even the smallest items cost a lot nowadays.

kanina this bag caught my attention.  it's cute and it's big enough to carry my things.  i was kinda hesitant to buy it because it's kinda expensive.  i thought about it over and over and since i seldom see a bag that i like, i decided to buy it.  i've been using my black girbaud bag for the longest time, i think it's time for it to rest for a while. 

so, that's debit asset - bag 575 and credit asset - cash 575. haha.

my current favorite bread: french baker's asado roll (yummy!)

i just can’t love you back

n.p.p. made me feel so loved.  i think . . .  he can and he will take care of me; he can and will do anything for me; and above all, he loves me dearly. 

i enjoy his company.  i enjoy our conversations. 

i like that he's smart.  i like that he's patient and that he can put up with my stubbornness and my bad temper.

unfortunately, i realized that i just can't love him back.  i like him but i don't like him romantically.  i still love paprika.  i can hear the song of music and lyrics at the back of my head.  . . . trapped in the past, i just can't seem to move on….

he was very hurt.  but what can i do?  he was persistent.  i felt i had no choice but to be mean.  i had to make him understand.

i hope he moves on asap.  i really want him to be happy.  he deserves to be happy and to be loved.
