March 12, 2010 - Deworming
At the start of this year, I thought, I need to read a book. Kahit isa lang.
Just yesterday, I found myself lurking at a site just because I was trying to look for that quote Alice's dad told her when she asked her if she has gone mad. Click here, the site's really cool. It's about Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Cool stuff there, trivias and all that. And yeah, full-online text of the books here which I wished I had time to read.
A few days ago, Ykai told me she bought me a birthday gift. Wow. My birthday's not in, hmmm, 2 months? Hahah! Uso na ata talaga yung super advance birthday gift, kasi yung gift ko sa kaniya nung birthday niya last Feb, binili ko December pa ata yun. Basta super aga din. Hahah!
Ahahah! Kulit lang.
Earlier today, she texted me and asked if I'm already in the office. Nasa Makati din kasi siya for medical exam for her new employment. Ibibigay na daw niya yung gift eh. Egzayted? Heheh. At ayun, nung binigay niya super mixed emotions ako eh. Pero more natatawa. Heheh. This is what she gave me.
Click image for more info on the book.
Thanks Ykai! Will definitely read this. Ahahahah!

March 11, 2010 - Keep Me Sane
That's what K.M.S. on my YM status stands for, Keep Me Sane. Sigh.
I need to snap back to reality. I'm effin losing it. Derailed na naman ako. Oh nooooes!
Talking to Raak and Vickyturr helps in keeping myself sane. Sila ang mga taga-sermon ko at taga-gising sa akin kapag nawawala na naman ako sa tamang landas. Woot!
I was doing better than I expected in my Life Management Course. Nakakapasok ng hindi late kahit walang klase, thus my pay wasn't deducted because of undertime. I was super tipid, I don't go over my weekly spending/splurging budget. I sleep early and still get 8 hours or more of sleep kahit na maaga ako pumapasok.
Haiz me.
Ngayon, I'm back to being a late kid. Chronic tardiness, hello you're back! From 3/5 days a week of being late, to 0/5 at the L.M.C. peak, now it's 5/5. Yup. 5/5. Kahit may klase ako late ako sa work, undertime mode tuloy. Eff it. Now I really, really, really won't expect myself to be regularized. I won't wait, I'll stop crossing my fingers. It's not overdue, it's really not going to happen.
Bakit ako late kid na naman? Kasi I stay up effin late again. Umaabot pa ako ng 5 AM. Pinaka-maaga ko ng tulog lately ay 2 AM. Saan ka pa? Nagigising tuloy ako ngayon 8:30 AM, oras na dapat nasa office na ako.
Recently, I feel so stressed. And that made me spend a hell lot on food and unnecessary shopping. Another keep me sane therapy shit. Now I go waaaaaay out of weekly budget. Kahit yung kakarampot na kinikita ko sa Neon Ramen at sa pagle-layout hindi kaya i-offset yung spending ko. Siyeeeet!
And I'm totally not excited for class anymore. I'm bored with it already. Why? Kasi ilang meetings na kaming nagtatanggal ng blemishes sa mga babae, nagpapasexy, nagme-makeup!!! I'm not enjoying it anymore. Sheeeeeez. At alam kong maraming manenermon sa akin kapag nag-quit ako sa school, kaya I'll just keep my fingers crossed. Sana magka-buhay naman ulit yung class ko. Looooord!
Self-psyche mode on.
One. No pain, no gain. Walang instant sa buhay. Ang real life hindi parang sa Matrix na titirik lang ng ilang segundo yung mata mo, alam mo na bigla kung paano magpalipad ng helicopter.
Two. Life is what you make it. Choice mo yan kung magpapaka-emo ka, kung magpapa-atake ka ng katamaran, at kung anu-ano pang "kung." Lahat ng choice may consequence na kailangan mo na naman gawan ng panibagong choice. Lahat ng mangyayari sayo naka-depende sa choices mo. Kung pinili mong maging masaya kahit na gaano ka B.S. yung nangyayari sayo, sasaya ka. Hindi porket uso ang nagagagalit kapag natapakan ang paa mo, magagalit ka na rin kapag nangyari sayo yun.
Three. Hindi lahat ng gusto mong gawin o magawa dapat mong gawin. At hindi ka dapat ma-frustrate kung lahat ng iyon hindi mo magawa. Tao lang tayo. Kung si Superman nga nabubugbog pa eh, gusto ba niyang mabugbog? Ay, ay, analogy na pang adik. Hahahah! Pero ayun nga. Ako kasi, ma-fascinate lang ako sa isang bagay gusto ko na rin maging ganun o gumawa ng ganun o kaya magka-ganun. Pero balik sa number two, choice ko yung kung anung klaseng paapapalungkot sa sarili ang gagawin ko sa sarilii ko dahil sa mga yun.
Four. Less expectations, less disappointments. Less disappointments, less reasons to hate life. Woot! Ang daling sabihin, mahirap gawin. Sobrang hirap. Heheh. Kapag nagexpect ka dapat in line with reality. Lalo na kung alam mo naman nung una pa lang na hindi naman talaga pwedeng mangyari, bakit mo pa ieexpect na mangyayari?
Five. Sabi ni Physics, ang stress daw ay:
a. An applied force or system of forces that tends to strain or deform a body.
b. The internal resistance of a body to such an applied force or system of forces.
So kailan lang magkaka-stress? Kapag lang palag ka ng palag sa mga kaganapan sa buhay mo. Dalawa lang naman yan eh, either accept the fact that changes really do happen at hindi rin lahat ng changes na nangyayari ay yung change na gusto mo, or just quit it. Again, number two, pakamatay ka na lang. =P
Six. 8 days to go, sasagot na naman ako ng tawag ng dagat. 8 days to go, Pagudpod na! Oo, kasama talaga yan sa self-psyching. =P
Self psyching has a lot of benefits and a lot of disadvantages. Depending on how you use it, it can help you pull yourself back to reality or further into wonderland. It can either boost your moral or lower it. Yung self-psyching ko, ewan ko. Ahahahah!

March 9, 2010 - Random Rantings
I just ate about a whole styro worth of sisig. And yeah, it's 11 in the evening already. Ang sarap eh. Chicken sisig at squid sisig ng Sisig Hooray. Haiz. And despite even eating a slice of choco mousse ice cream cake and a glass of Coke after it, I still want to chew on something. Anything! With only 9 days left til Pagudz, good luck na lang talaga sa napakalaki kong bilbil.
Oh well. Maybe stress is all to blame why I want to eat a lot these past few days. I feel tired. All the things I need to do, uuugh.. Buti na lang I'm done rewriting codes in the office, minor bug fixes and other shits na lang. Layout na lang and assignments.
Kaninang umaga late ako nagising. Well, nagising ako ng maaga pero sa sobrang tamad ko natulog na lang ako ulit. Nagising ako halos 9 AM na, oras na dapat nasa office na ako para 6 PM makaalis na ako dahil 6 PM ang klase ko.
Tinatamad ako dahil tinatamad na ako sa klase ko. Nababagalan ako na ewan. Parang nasasayangan ako sa panahon. O baka naman excited lang talaga ako na mag-Illustrator na kami? Haiz.
Sa sobrang tamad ko na sa klase namin ayun, hindi ko man lang nagalaw yung assignment ko para kanina. Umisip na ako ng irarason sa instructor ko eh, na naiwan ko yung HD ko. Hahah. Pero nagpractice pa ako na sabihin yun, pagdating na pagdating ko pa lang sa classroom sinabi ko na kaagad, "Sir, wala akong assignment." Hahah! Pero ok lang naman pala, hindi naman pala talaga siya nag check eh. Oo nga pala, late ako sa klase kanina. XD
Haiz. Here I go again. I'm back to begging life to excite me again. I'm sick of routine. Ayoko talaga nun. Pero nasermunan na ako ni Raak about that. Hindi daw talaga mawawala yun. Huhuhuh.
Full, but I want to eat. Busy, but I'm bored.
Ito pa isang dagdag sa kabaliwan.
Lahat ng kasama ko palong palo sa pagka-excite sa Pagudpod. Excited naman ako eh, pero parang tinatamad ako. Pero hindi yung tinatamad pumunta at sumama ah. Tinatamad na magpaka-excited? Ewan. Basta weird. O baka naman masyado lang akong maraming iniisip ngayon, at since maliit lang ang RAM ng utak ko eh hindi siya nagaallocate ng memory ngayon para dun? Waaaaaah! Basta ganun.
Grrrrr. Buti na lang wala talagang assignment na binigay kanina sa klase ko. Bawas na yun sa iisipin ko. Wish ko lang makapag-layout ako ng matiwasay ngayon. Puyatan na naman, dami ko na tuloy lalo pimples! Loooord!

March 8, 2010 - Productive Weekend? IDK
If it weren't for these things written below, ang naka sked dapat for my Friday night to Sunday night ay sumubsob sa harap ng laptop and try my best to keep my hands and brain working on the pending layout or my assignments. Oh well. I can't decide if this past weekend was really productive or not.
Friday. Most of my officemates were already in Puerto Galera pero ako, ayun. Naghihintay mag-8 PM para makaalis papunta ng Eastwood para sa Freedom Celebration ni Rak at ni Loweh. Since konti na lang naman ang tao sa office, nakaalis ako ng mas maaga pa sa 8, thanks to some hocus pocus. Heheh.
Got to Eastwood at around 9 already. Pagdating ko ng Subway sa Eastwood, tapos na sila kumain lahat. Wala na rin si Tim. Picture taking lang sa labas ng Subway then off to Clubb Dredd to drink. I only had a glass of Margarita and a bottle of Red Horse. Kwentuhan, kulitan, picture-picture at maraming maraming sigawan. Hahah.
After Dredd we decided to have coffee at Starbucks, pero pagkaupo namin dun wala palang may yosi, akyat kami ng 7-Eleven. Pagdating dun, nagulo ang plano. Heheh. Anjan yung iinom na lang ulit dun, anjan yung dun na lang magkakape, tapos yung masamang biro. Heheh.
Biniro ko si Raak na mag-Tagaytay na lang kaming mga natira. Ako, Raak, Loweh, Ykai, Ren and Arlan. Joke lang talaga yun pero nauwi sa seryosong pagyayaya namin ni Raak kina Ykai. Nung una si Ren yung ayaw pang umuwi tapos si Ykai uwing uwi na, pero nung nagsimula yung topic na Tagaytay si Ykai na yung malungkot dahil hindi namin mapapayag si Ren na sumama. Ayun. Kidnap attempt FAILED. We just had coffee at Starbucks and Coffee Bean. Heheh.
After mag-coffee, nung nagdecide sina Ykai, Ren, at Loweh na umuwi ng around 3, ayoko pa umuwi nun kasi baka sa malamok na sasakyan na naman namin ako matulog kaya nagstay na lang kami ni Raak sa Starbucks para hintayin na yung 1-hour break ni Justin ng 3. Nakababa si Just halos 4 na, pagkabalik niya hinatid na ako ni Raak pauwi. Since 5 AM na nun, bukas na yung bahay namin kasi gising na katulong namin. =)
Since 5 na ako dumating ng Saturday ng umaga, nagising ako around 12 noon na. Did a few layout shits, then at 5 PM umalis ako para naman i-meet yung college friend ko sa Makati.
Last week pa yun nangungulit na magkita kami, at dahil nakita ko sa FB na ang dami rin niyang kinukulit na makipagkita sa kaniya sa mga college friends namin, ang pumasok sa isip ko aalis na siya at pupunta kung saan. So ayun, kahit tamad na tamad ako pumunta ako.
Pagdating ko dun. TADAAH! Networking churvaloolee. And I felt like I wasted gazillion worth of time. Umalis ako ng bahay 5PM, nakauwi ako 12MN. Yung 7 hours na yun sana ni-layout ko na lang o kaya ginawa ko na lang ng assignment o kaya itinulog ko na lang. Hehehehuhuhuh.
Sunday. I had mass with my family at 9 in the morning. Had brunch with them in Trinoma. Then I met up with Porky after to watch Alice in Wonderland in 3D.
Since past 12 kami nagkita at 3 PM yung nabili naming ticket, we went shopping. Heheh. Nagikot kami sa Trinoma in search for a pogi polo. Una namin pinasok ang Mint at may tinibukan na kaagad ang aming puso. Ang problema lang times 2 siya ng budget, hahah, pero yung itsura naman nung polo it's worth it. Pero sabi ko ikot pa muna kami sa iba, baka may makita pa kami na mas-pogi at mas mura. May mga nakita kaming ibang pogi polo pero hindi talaga mapapantayan yung sa Mint, kaya ayun. Swipe swipe! Muntik pa kami ma-late sa Alice dahil masyado siyang natuwa sa pagsusukat. Hahah.
Then we watched Alice in 3D. I loved it! But since it was my uber loved Tim Burton and my uber love Johnny Depp, and my uber uber uber love collab of them, I think I kinda expected more. But i still love the movie. The Red Queen, FTW! Hahah!
Right after the movie we went straight to our house. Watched TV with my family, ate dinner, then Facebook+Twitter+YouTube together, then he finally gave me his Valentine gift he always forget to give--3 pairs of kikay silver earrings. Heheh. Super-post Valentine gift in addition to his super-pre Valentine gift na kikay blouse from Apple & Eve. ^__^
Pagkaalis niya ng bahay ng bandang past 9 PM, nag-ayos lang ako saglit ng napakagulong cabinet then slept at around 12 MN.
Ayun. Productive weekend or not? =P

March 4, 2010 - Dammit
I finished writing about the Laiya trip already, and while on the process of inserting images into it.......
I accidentally hit something in the keyboard and all those gazillion lines of my blog entry disappeared. It won't come back no matter how many times I press CTRL+Z!
It's 2:31 AM already, I won't write it again.
Dammit.
Anyhoo. I finished uploading pictures at my Multiply account. See them here.

March 4, 2010 - Summer. Summer.
Last Monday, pagpasok ko ng office pambungad sakin ni Sir Dennis, "Hi Pam. *NGITI* Napanood ko na nga pala yung pinapanood mo nung isang araw, yung 500 Days of Summer. Ikaw na ikaw yun! Nagpalit lang ng gender! Ahahahah!"
Wooot! Natawa ako na nagulat eh. Hindi naman kasi ako gaano nagse-share sa office ng tungkol sa amin ni Porky, kung meron man sobrang konting details lang. Now, I'm beginning to think my boss is reading my blog. Hi, Sir Dennis! Ahahah!
And speaking of summer.
Last week, I was in Laiya with my ex-officemates. This week, outing na ng mga Vinta peeps. Puerto Galera. At! Hindi ako kasama. I'm so broke. Broke ako pero I'm still overspending, wow me!
Overspending kasi kain ako ng kain recently. Bundat na talaga ako! Sobrang laki na talaga ng tyan ko ngayon at ang dami ng nagsasabi na lumaki na daw braso ko. Oh noes!
Oh noes, kasi in less than 3 weeks from now I'm going to Pagudpod. Hindi ko alam kung hindi pa rin ba pwede sabihin kung sino at kung anong grupo ba yung sasabitan ko kaya hindi ko na lang muna babanggitin, although Porky knows who already. Nagdrama na nga siya sa wooh pt. 1 'di ba?
And speaking of Porky and my overspending. I was with him in Landmark yesterday just before my lunch break, right after his shift in his office. Since 9 yung labas niya sa office at kailangan niyang hintayin magbukas ang mall dahil kailangan niyang bumili ng blank CD's, sabi ko imbes na maghintay siya eh sumakay na lang siya ng MRT from Ortigas to Ayala at sa Glorietta na siya bumili ng CD, magla-lunch pa kami ng sabay. Sasamahan ko lang dapat siya bumili ng CD, kaso dahil pareho kaming mahilig magshopping, ayun. We ended up shopping for swimsuit. Ahahah!
Meron siyang pinili nung una, a really skimpy light gold bra. Gustong gusto niya talagang bilhin ko yun kahit na sinabi ko sa kaniya na nahahalayan ako masyado. Tapos may nakita kaming mas kyut, white pair with black, neon green, neon pink stripes. Nagustuhan din niya. Sabi niya, "Hindi nga pala ako ang kasama mo kapag sinuot mo ito. Tama, naisip ko tama yung sinabi mo na mahalay 'to. 'Wag na pala itong gold." Wooot! Gumaganun? Tapos nung naghiwalay na kami, pauwi na siya at pabalik na ako ng office binigay ko sa kaniya yung binili namin saying, "Oh, itago mo muna yan. Bigay mo lang sa akin when we go to Caramoan na." Ang sagot ba naman bakit daw yung pang wholesome yung isusuot ko kapag kasama siya, kung kailan daw dapat yung mahalay ang suot ko. Huwatda?!? Adik lang. Hahah!
Before meeting up nga pala that day, he sent me an email with a link to a Caramoan-CWC Tour Package in the morning. Pagdating niya ng Ayala, napagusapan namin na we'll avail of the package dates May 1-3. Yun lang daw kasi yung Friday to Sunday, mostly start on a Thursday. Sakto pa, ang lapit sa birthday ko. Heheh. And since I'm super broke, pero medyo magkakaroon ng kakarampot na pera by that time, sabi ko sa kaniya ang tanging pagasa lang na makasama ako dun ay kung babayaran niya yung kalahati ng expenses ko. Pumayag naman siya! Weehoo! Kaso later in the afternoon, napagtanto ko na nakasulat pala sa package na hindi pa kasama sa 4k+ yung transpo from Manila to Naga, and back. Eh ayun, nung sinabi ko sa kaniya yun at kung magkano yung bus fare mukang undecided na siya ngayon kung tutuloy pa kami dun o hindi. Oh noooes!
Haiz. Bora trip pa on mid May with my dad's relatives. Gusto ko lang ma-experience yung Bora, kaso mas ok sana kung mas ok yung group na kasama. Aaaaaaaack.
Makapag-layout na nga! Puyatan na naman!

February 25, 2010 - Making Time To Rant
I'm uber busy, but I really need to write to keep me sane. Loooord!
I have tons of codes to rewrite starting today. It's like 70% of all the codes that I written in the past 6 months needs to be rewritten for optimization. Dammit. Ngayon pa talaga naging busy sa work. Haiz.
I have pending revisions for my last layout client who wanted a new welcome image on her site. Sinimulan ko yun, I think, 2 days ago pero sinisingin ko lang habang nasa office pero walang task. Sa laptop ako gumagawa, at naging best friend kami ni hibernate, not realizing nakalimutan ko na si save. Kaninang madaling araw natapos ko na siya, nagawan ko na rin ng animation, ang kaso nung sinesave ko na siya as GIF biglang nag-crash yung Photoshop. Nawala lahat ng parang bula. Nagcrash dahil lagpas sampu ata tabs ko nun sa PS nung nagsesave ako. Stupid me. Now I have to start from scratch. Dammit.
I accepted another layout job a few days ago. I think it somehow adds up to my stress. Ang hirap kasi makipag-communicate sa kaniya eh, hanggang ngayon tuloy hindi ko pa rin alam yung gusto niya mangyari sa Multiply niya. Paano, wala siyang access sa YM, wala siyang access sa email, tapos naka-Sun Cell pa siya. Haaaaaaay.
Ito pa isang nakakalungkot. Kung kailan nga busy na ako simula ngayon sa trabaho at sa school, ang daming nag-message sa Multiply ko asking me to do their site's layout. Haiz. Bakit kalungkot? Kasi although I'm in dire need of beach money, mahirap na kasi mag-commit. Tsaka busy na nga ako 'di ba? Ngayon pa nga lang feeling ko na sobrang kulang ako palagi sa tulog kahit na nakakaminimum 6 hours naman ako ng sleep gabi-gabi.
Oh well. Sa sobrang busy ko dagdag na sa back log ng dapat i-blog ang Laiya trip. Hindi ko pa nga naa-upload sa Facebook at sa Multiply ko yung pics eh. Wow me!
Hainaku. Makapagtrabaho na nga.

February 23, 2010 - Distracted
Kagabi nanood ako ng 500 Days of Summer. Related mode ako, pero dahil marami ang nagsabi sa akin na dapat daw super mega related mode ako dun, naisip kong dapat kong panoorin siya ulit. Kasi nung pinapanood ko siya kagabi ang dami kong kausap. May mga ka-YM, may mga kausap dito sa office, may hinihintay pang magtext.
Manood dapat ako ulit ng 500 Days of Summer pero isa-isang nagsulputan ang mga distractions. May nagtext inquiring about layout services. Nagtext yung currently nakasalang na gagawan ko ng layout. May nag-PM sa YM, serious topic. May nag-PM pa ulit, nakikipagkulitan. Hanggang sa dumating na ang maraming tao dito sa office, hindi na ako nakanood so I decided to PM my other previous layout client who was asking me to do a few revisions on her layout.
Wala na naman akong focus sa mga ginagawa ko ngayon sa buhay ko. Haiz me. IDK. Is this because my head's still in Laiya, Batangas? Which BTW, as an effect of not being focus on anything, nasama na ang outing na yun sa back log of blogs I need to do. Posible din kaya na most of my brain cells are already in the beaches that are lined up for me to go this summer?
Pero tingin ko ito ang mas posibleng dahilan.
Ang dami ko na naman kasing iniisip ngayon. Work, school, layouts. Since hindi magaling yung utak ko sa pagpa-prioritize ng mga napakadaming iniisip, ayan ang resulta. Bukod pa yan sa pagiging tense-afraid procrastinator ko. Buti na lang I learned not to waste too much brain cells on the romance department, kung hindi baka suicidal kid na naman ako. Hahah!
Work mode! Kailangan kumayod para may pang beach. =P
Oo nga pala, singit ko lang. Natawa at natuwa naman ako dahil ngayon lang ako ulit nagbukas ng Corel Photo-paint ever since I started my print media class. Dahil lang yun walang Photoshop dito sa machine ko sa office. May kumi-keyborad shortcuts na lang na pang Photoshop sa Photo-paint eh. Hahahah! Baliktad na sila, yehey! =D

February 17, 2010 - Beach Crazy
I remember Rak telling me I'm the most beach crazy friend he knows. Wow. Hahah! Ok. I really am beach crazy. If only I have as much money as MAN-EVIL-LIAR, I would be in a beach every weekend, a different beach every single weekend. Beach + travel = luuurve!
I'm just a poor kid. And not to mention too lazy to make ways on pumping up those digits most people call income, pero ako I now call "pambayad utang" for monthly board and lodging fees at home, monthly school fees, and monthly credit card payments to my mom for my laptop.
Favorite quote ko galing sa uber famous "One More Chance" ni Basha at Popoy, galing kay Dimples, "Magiging mahirap at masakit, pero hopefully all the pain will be worth it." Kaka-tweet lang din ni Porky niyan a few days ago, bigla lang daw niya naalala. Woooh! Anyhoo. Hindi lang sa love life o sa pakikipag-break yan naia-apply. At yan ang sinasaksak ko sa utak ko ngayon. Wooot!
I'm broke and don't have money for being beach crazy pero dahil ba saan? Laptop and school para sa mas masaya at masmagandang future. Wooot!
Makapagtrabaho na nga! Busy naman talaga ako dapat ngayon eh. Task overload mode.
