funny tuesday morning

my day started funny today. i woke up fuming mad over some girl who stole my man. i knew it was just a dream but i found myself pouting in utmost frustration because i can't put a face on who that stupid bitch was!

if only i knew who she was, then i'd know who to watch out for! stupid skanky bitch! imma get her next time! hahahaha!

i wanted to blog about my latest conversation with D

but i didn't have any time. so now the moment has passed. the excitement over what was probably one of the most interesting conversations i've had with D has waned.

too bad. maybe next time.

Love and Other Disasters

a surprisingly nice film. it's a story about love and all the crazy happy ridiculous things that come along with it.

the movie revolved around Jacks (played by Brittany Murphy) and her crazy friends both gay and straight.

here are some lines which i thought are worth quoting:

Emily 'Jacks' Jackson: "I'm not so sure. Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know? Maybe sometimes it's just a choice."

"I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life, but I've decided to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying wether they'll give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose."

Therapist: "The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting.

Stage one is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy, "Ooh, did you fart," followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy.

A period I like to call the "Fart Honeymoon", where both parties find each other's gas just the cutest thing in the world.

But, of course, no honeymoon can last forever. And so we reach the critical fork in the fart. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass thereby signifying true love, or else it begins to annoy and disgust, thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved."

what's in a name

when i was born, i had dimples on both cheeks. naturally, my parents saw it fit to call me that.

now, 33 years later, i'm still wondering where they went :D

American Idol 8 : Michael Jackson Night

Lil Rounds opened up the show with "The Way You Make Me Feel". while the judges loved it, i didn't. well, it was ok. just ok.

next was Scott MacIntyre who sang a not so popular MJ song, "Keep the Faith". the song may not have made it to the top charts but i loved Scott's performance nonetheless. there's something about the way he sings that makes you wanna listen to what he says.

going third was the ever so popular, totally pimped out AI contestant, Danny Gokey. he sang "PYT (Pretty Young Thing)" which is something i have never heard before but as always, Danny delivered.

Michael Sarver came next with his version of "You Are Not Alone". it was surprisingly good. his vocals were the best it has been since the first time i saw him. good job.

and then came Jasmine Murray with "I'll Be There". b-o-r-i-n-g! i think she'll be at the bottom 3.

Kris Allen sang next with his take on "Remember the Time". i have to admit, i was suprised that he made it to the top 13. tonight, however, made me rethink. he's good with his guitar. and contrary to what Simon said about bringing out the wife early in the competition, i think girls will still go gaga over him.

singing "Give in To Me", Allison Iraheta proved to be a powerhouse but i think she was way better when she did "Alone"

Anoop Desai, though uber energetic, didn't do justice to "Beat IT". that being said, however, i don't think he'll be in the bottom 3.

"Never Can Say Goodbye" proved to be a song too big for Jorge Nunez as he struggled with it the entire time. that could very well bring him to the bottom 3.

next is the uber adorable, i-want-to-pinch-her-cheeks, Megan Corkery singing an upbeat "Rockin Robin". i just love watching her perform. she's different, a breath of fresh air in a sea of over the top performers. i don't care what the judges said, i love her!

and then there's Adam Lambert with his version of "Black or White". fine, he nailed it. but i still think he oversings.

next is Michael Buble look alike Matt Giraud who sang "Human Nature". he doesn't just look like the popular crooner, he sounds a bit like him too. that and former AI contestant, Eliot Yamin which makes me like him too.

closing the show was Alexis Grace with "Dirty Diana". nothing really great about it. still, i know she will be safe tomorrow.

all in all, it was an OK night. nothing mindblowing uber memorable performance. hopefully, that changes next week.

update as of 03/12/09

Jasmine and Jorge were sent home. my predictions were spot-on!

so long, FrancisM

i was browsing through my usual blog faves tonight and noticed that the normally angsty, funny, fab and witty ones didn't have their usual tone.

Francis Magalona is dead. and everyone who knew who he was felt the loss.

and then i realized, i too, am sad. the master rapper is gone and no one can ever replace him.

my prayers go to him and the family he left behind.

so long FrancisM. you will be missed.

teeny bopper mode

i am totally crushing on someone.

you know the one that you have in highschool? the kind when just seeing him totally makes your day? the kind that makes your knees wobble when he smiles at you?

that kind. i have it. i have one. at work.

 it does feel nice. so i'm saying it again. i am totally crushing on someone. la la la!

now every morning, i give myself ten extra minutes to put on a lil blush and dab a bit of gloss coz ill never know when the universe will turn in my favor and let me get stuck in the elevator with him. hahahaha! it's high school all over again and i can't help but smile.

under the weather

too much work took it's toll. either that or the crazy weather we have.

i've been sick since Saturday. oh and i had the works - sore throat, really really bad cough, tonsilitis and the occassional fever. add to that the fact that my voice has decided to bail on me.

i can't take meds since i'm allergic to most of them so i had no choice but to drink loads of water and stay in bed.

so i called in sick today in the hopes that i feel better tomorrow.

the bully in me

i admit, i can be such a bully. especially around stupid people. really stupid people.

nothing more annoying than having to work with someone that exists in a world where common sense is not common.

lately, i have been the bully in the lot. i've bitten my tongue long enough that it bled. i've counted one too many times and still it didn't work. i am normally nice but there are limits and with this someone, it has capped.

call it rude or whatever, i don't give an effin care.

mag-isip naman kasi minsan!

exhausted

is an understatement.

i literally had to drag myself into the house this afternoon and i barely made it to bed.

working for 2 straight days is no easy task. especially when you're old-er my age. i love my job. i really do. i just wish there's more of me to go around. seriously.

so many work, so little time. now, if it were so many men, so little time, then it's worth losing sleep over. NOT! hehehe!

an open letter to the shuttle guy

i understand that the weather has been crazy the past couple of days. i too understand that you have to go to work even if you're under the weather.

what i don't get is why you chose this morning to cough directly on my nape. continuously. without covering your mouth. and as an encore, burped with all your might as i was about to alight.

now, i might see you again tomorrow (heaven forbid) but just in case you come across this blog, i hope you feel better, drink plenty of water and don't forget to bring your hanky.

love, shuttlemate.

big day for the family

January 27, 2009

...mama and papa celebrated their 35th year wedding anniversary

....my brother's gf turned 25

.....she and my brother got engaged

i couldn't be happier!

a big, big day indeed.

air and simple gifts

arranged by John Williams, Air and Simple Gifts was the perfect accompaniment to Obama's inauguration.

i. loved. it.

for those who missed it, here's a clip:

vanity! vanity!

my usually oily skin didn't stand a chance in dead cold winter. so today, i set an appointment for a derma consult. i just wanted a simple facial or a mask to rejuvinate my skin.

now, did i get that? you bet. well that and more. i also had a chemical peel and a diamond peel on a whim. i was never vain with my skin but today, i didn't think. i just nodded and said ok. do me. hahaha!

i still have two more sessions and i have to take these pills. for 3 months! kamusta naman yun? they better do wonders for my skin!!!

my point is...

if you don't intend to listen, don't ask.

if you're not ready to hear the truth, don't ask.

if you think i'll tell you what you want to hear, don't ask.

but you did. several times, you asked. and then you go ahead and do something really stupid. so now i'm pissed.

you can't ask me to be happy for you, not yet. i will do that in my own time.

for now, i'm utterly disappointed to say the least.

yun lang.

must. bring. bigger. luggage

i have just finished packing and surprise, surprise! i bought too many stuff that my luggage is stuffed. i had to literally sit on it just to zip it.

now, did they all fit? of course not. i have two extra bags excluding my laptop and purse. so tomorrow, imma have to charm my way at the airport. la la la!

my job here is done. i did what i came here to do. there's a chance that i might come back this Feb but that all depends if this other trip doesn't push through.

thank you Korea, you have been nice.

lost soul in seoul

it was bound to happen. i'm never good at directions. ask any of my friends and they'll agree. heck, i can even get lost inside an effin mall for crying out loud.

i woke up late thanks to Obama's inauguration hahaha! by the time i was ready, everybody else have already left that i was forced to fend for myself.

so i walked. and walked. across the streets. into the subway. out of the subway and onto the streets again. only to find out that i exited on the wrong side. surprise surprise!

not only was i late but i had to retrace my steps before i reached the office.

that being said however, i still am proud! i got to work. on foot. in the middle of winter. in Korea. by myself.

on blessings and simple joys

it's not even the end of the first month of the new year and blessings have come from left and right.

first off, i now own a house. well at least the title is in my name. my aunt sold it to us and immediately transferred the title even if the payment isn't full yet.

then there's this trip here in Korea where i got to taste my very first snowflake. really. i woke up friday to the most beautiful thing i've seen and the walk towards the office was the best walk ever. it was like magic.

next, i got a raise. not even a year in this team and my boss saw it fit to give me a raise. oh and an awesome performance bonus to boot. yeeha!

and then there's this possible trip somewhere far which my boss told me about a couple of days ago. it isn't super sure yet but i am excited.

life is good. even if it throws us back sometimes, it still has a way of makin it all better.

finally i can breathe

today i finally got the server working. yey!

as soon as the last of the test scripts were done and no error was encountered, i had to summon all my will not to jump and scream.

coming here, all i ever hoped was not to disappoint. i hope i didn't.

ps. remember that unexpected good news a few days ago? it might push through after all. another yey!
