happy birthday to me. -_-

Tuesday, November 26, 2002

have i got a story to tell.

started out like any ordinary tuesday morning.. with me and my sister in a shuttle service..
..was already at my usual drop site.. an overpass which is two blocks away from my office.. while getting out of the shuttle service van.. i exactly don't know what happened.. but i think i must have tripped over the passenger's feet.. before i knew it.. i was falling down the van.. with my head getting hit by the post near it..
*bang!*
.. was sprawled on the street (like a fucking beggar LOL) with my face on the pavement.. heard the man with the big feet at the van saying.. "naku miss!!!" then he helped me stand up.. touched my forehead.. (left hairline) and looked at the blood in my hand.. the people inside the shuttle were shouting stuff like.. "dalin na sya sa ospital!" .. "meh dugo!".. so i was ushered back inside the van.. with my seat facing all of them..i heard a collective "ahh!" when i felt blood drip from my head to my neck.. then someone shouted.. "dyan lang sa tabi meh polymedic!".. so again i got off the van (with my sister, this time).. and walked a small distance towards the hospital..
my sister said "masakit ba?" then saying "syempre naman masakit ano, tanong puh ako!"
but i said "actually ndi naman mashado.. madugo lang ata tlga"
so there we were.. with me dripping blood in her uniform, in my slacks, and the handkerchief my sister gave me to put in my head , walking with this guy in front of us who were looking at us.. my sister said "san buh yung ospital?" to him.. he pointed at a driveway just ahead of us..

*sighs*

birthday bukol?

was really just a big bump in my forehead with the wound just a measly smaller-than-half-inch size.. didn't think the doctors there at polymedic (iba na ata pangalan nila ngayon... rv sumting) were used to having emergency cases.. 'cause they stared at me for a full 5 seconds before they moved and helped me out.. (lol.. me thinks: okay, move!) .. doctor thought that my nose was bleeding 'cause there was blood from my nose to my neck.. i said "ay ndi po.. galing yan sa ulo"..

..at least i was able to sit in a wheelchair.. hehehe!

they cleaned my wound, then x-rayed my head.. i'm fine , i'm okay.. actually.. i could still have gone to work if i wanted to.. my officemates Koji and Chipper were able to visit me at the hospital.. was trying not to laugh at their jokes 'cause my head hurts everytime i tried to laugh.. hehe.. told me to bring a hard hat next time.. wahahaha..

end of story.

kaya nyo yun? *bows*

*hungry mode*

AS400 training has been ok so far.. though i did find some lessons quite confusing... been doing some file coding exercises.. you can't believe what i'm doing in my keyboard today.. am actually "field exiting" at the enter key and entering at the Ctrl Key.. anywayz.. it's pretty hard to explain but the keyboard we use on the dummy terminals is different than the usual keyboard so it feels weird to actually have a backspace key now..

gaaaaaah.. i keep on pressing my Ctrl key..

hay. katamad mag blog sa bahay.. i feel so priking tayrd and hungry.. bye all *sleepy sigh*

Monday, November 18, 2002

started our AS400 Training today.. there were 3 new guys (all married *boo!*) and 6 new girls.. anywayz.. first day was okay 'cause we did the basic flow-charting.. time just melted away and before i knew it.. was already 6 pm.. ei.. ate's ISP is working already so i'll be able to go online again.. though i don't think i'll be able to blog in the office.. they don't call the machines we're using "dummy terminals" for nothing, lol.. (babay notepad huhuhu)..

gtg eat.

nite all! *mwah*
My blog last Friday, November 15, 2002

System Time: 9:28 AM
.. sister's account still wasn't working so i wasn't able to post my blogs last night.. but i did post them here at the office at Chipper's workstation.. had to very inconspicuous..good thing blogger's edit thingie has a white background..
..presently listening to Incubus - Pardon Me.. reminds me so much of my thesis days that my chest tightens when i hear this song (LoL) .. Eboy and I would listen to Incubus songs over and over again.. we lived (yes, lived) for a month at Harbie's place.. 6 of us.. doing our respective thesis.. but of course, it wasn't all work.. at midnight when most of us are feeling sleepy.. we would play a movie at one of the PCs (we had 4 PCs in a room) to help us stay awake.. though it wouldn't always work 'cause we would still fall asleep right in the middle of watching one.. we fell asleep at KamaSutra 2 (we would refer to that movie as KamaTulog later).. we had other thesis theme songs.. #1 of course is "Cruisin".. ALL of us would remember our thesis days when we hear that song..
...it was a BIG help living together..though each of us worked on a separate thesis, (only 2 in a group) help was just a kalabit away and there was always somebody to rouse you up when you're sleeping instead of working, calm you down when having a panic attack or simply cheer you up when you feel like you can't do it.. plus waking up with 4 PCs in front of you (with Roni already up and typing away, lol) was a big motivational factor and lessened one's laziness.. many of my treasured college memories happened that month and with my friends.. Harbie, Ria, Roni, Eboy and TP-Anshe.. (the "Harbie Sleep-talking/looking with me thinking it was spaghetti sauce instead of champorado incident", the "Ria saket ng katawan natulog na may bote ng lambanog sa tabi", the "KamaSutra kala namen maganda Kamatulog pala", the "Watching bongacious dancers do their thing downstairs everyday", the "woah good morning hanggang tuhod na ang baha", the "Prince in bathroom with all our *toot* in there ", etc.. etc.. etc..
*happy sigh sabay LoL*

System Time: 11:04 AM
.. so sleypi again. TGIF! will be able to sleep late again.. (8 am :p..well.. it's later than 5:30am, right?) [*_*] *stifles a yaWn*

System Time: 11:20 AM <---gwabe bagal ng oras, uh.. am actually nodding off again.. chet. musssst stay a--wake. @_@ ..plus am listening to Martin Nievera's Forever Album.. adds to my sleepiness.. was reading Anne of Green Gables before i felt my eyes drooping.. think I'm still on the first chapter..
...you have no right.. to ask me how i feel.. you have no right.. to speak to me so kind.. someday i might, i might find myself looking in your eyes.. but for now.. we'll go on living our separate lives..
..Zsa-Zsa and Martin are currently belting out this song.. hmmm..
..my mom already agreed to my pasta-party (though i didn't mention the "beer" part) on the 29th.. gave me some ideas on the Menu especially the ingredients on my "Salad Bar".. i'm planning on inviting my HS barkada (4), Pre-com (3..joy, cherry, erlyn.. though it's pretty doubtful that they could come, i could always hope, right?), ISM people.. (ahmm.. 5 ang kabarkada ko.. dunno how many of my classmates will go).. ex-officemates (3.. irvie, bevs and eugene).. present officemates (5, Chipper w/ gf, Froi w/ gf and Koji).. and of course, chatmeyts at undernet.. (around 10? dunno..) already created the map to our house yesterday..probably work on my online-invitation this weekend and upload the map.. also plan on checking the prices (for the menu) so i'd have an idea how much i'd be spending.. (hehe Yaaare) hmmm.. *thinks of grocery list* excited, eh?

System Time: 2: 41 PM
..have only Let Me in in my playlist.. i'm trying to memorize it.. hehe.. i'm always like this with a song that i like.. i'd play it over and over until i get tired of it..
..Let me in, to feel the fire.. let love unfold.. my body's wet and cold.. I'll never let you go.. until the sand rolls in the desert day by day.. I promise you my heart ..
and we can make love grow ..
until the day no longer turn the night away.. my lovely lady.. in love I'll stay..
*HAAY*
.. still reading Anne of Green Gables.. has become more interesting.. though i myself don't like Anne as much as i liked Sarah of a Little Princess.. i think Anne's just plain talkative..

System Time: 4:00 PM
..exactly an hour to go before i log out.. hay.. sana mabilis akong makasakay.. kahapon ang olats.. kabuwsit.. lahat nagcu-cutting trip.. tas yung nasakyan ko sobrang obvious dahil pagdating masinag dumirecho syang COGEO.. gaah. sabi nga ng dad ko dapat 'ndi na daw ako nagbayad.. eh yoko kasi mainit ulo nung driver.. mura ng mura sa mga sasakyan, sa MMDA, .. tapos meh sumakay pang isang lolo na 'ndi nagbayad ng pamasahe.. actually, it's quite funny.. i've read my batchmate jen's blog once and she told a similar story..
.. edi wala akong masakyang COGEO ano, so nagMasinag na lang ako (lecheng mga FX) tapos, may 2 ng nakaupo sa gitna.. when i was about to get in, si tatang ay nag-attempt na umalis.. tapos narinig ko sabi ng driver "wag na kayong umalis, mahuhuli ako nyan e!" in his galit tone.. then another passenger came in and sat beside me.. so ganito pwesto namin sa gitna.. L-R.. isang guy, si tatang, ako tas isa pang babae.. tapos meh isang pasahero sa likod ang nagbayad.. so naturally, meron dapat mag-abot nun sa driver.. ang kumuha nung pera ay si tatang.. (remember that i'm just sitting beside him so i could see what he's doing).. ginawa nya eh, tiningnan nya lng yung pera.. (10 pesos worth in coins.. like HELLO, rush-hour bente-bente, malayo malapit) then he closed his hand around the coins.. i was just thinking on what he'd done when the passenger said "Nako, Tatang ibigay nyo po yan.. wag nyo pong itatago yan" in a voice that could be heard by us but not the driver.. Tatang said :"ibibigay ko naman" then gave the money to the driver.. tapos etong driver na mainitin ang ulo eh mega "KULANG PA PO NG SAMPU 'ITO" while the passenger at the back gave a detail account on Tatang's modus-operandi "Nakasabay ko na po dati yan e, talagang gusto nyang umupo sa gilid tapos kukunin nya yung bayad ng pasahero sa likod. tapos bigla na lang siya aalis. Diba po kanina hinawakan nya lang yung pera." (while others would say) "OO nga, kaya pala gusto nya sa gilid umupo" .. they're talking as if Tatang was deaf or something.. kaawa din khet papaano, kasi kung titingnan mo sya ang amo talaga ng mukha nya (lol)... tapos yung driver pa.. "OH YUNG MGA WALA PANG BAYAD DYAN, MAGBAYAD NA".. then after a while he figured out it was Tatang so kinausap na nya.. "TATANG HINDI PA KAYO NAGBABAYAD AH"..
Tatang: "Dyan lang.. pagdating Masinag" (eh Masinag was just an intersection away, lol)
Driver: "wala ba kayong pambayad?"
Tatang: "wala po"
Driver: "Tatang blah blah blah $%#$ dapat sinasabi nyo, ndi nyo niloloko kaming mga drayber..aambisyon pa po kayo na mag-FX #%@#$% achuchuchu"
Tatang: "salamat po"
Me thinks: "10 pesos na lng laman ng wallet ko.. just enough for me to go home dahil sa mga OLATS na drayber na nagcucutting trip" hehe wawa si Tatang.
sabi puh saken nung drayber "Dapat lang na murahin ko sya kasi pareho naman kaming matanda.. meh pamilya akong pinapakain uh ##$^@@#$ nya"
Me makes pilit ngiti while thinking: "ulewl. pareho lang kayong magnanakaw"

nyek. 5:07 na. BABAY!

My blog yesterday, November 14, 2002:

System Time: 7:37 AM <--wahaha aga ko
..was absent at work yesterday.. sobrang traffic kahapon sa masinag.. walang dumarating na shuttle service kaya sooobrang haba ng pila.. by the time i finally got inside one, direcho ayala ampootah.. wahaha.. was walking at ayala at around 8:45 am and i was telling myself.. "watdapakamidoinghere!?" .. was already extremely late so instead of stopping at BONI station, i got off at CUBAO at was on my way home..
..when i got home my dad said: "oh, kala ko maghahalf-day ka lang" (ate chary already called and told them what happened) "ayoko ng pumasok"
dad: "okay"
HEHE.
..so i went with them on their errands and watched Harry Potter with them.. (my treat, of course)
..wooHoo..! i liked THIS movie more than the first one.. and i can't believe Ron and Hermione had a moment *kiligs all over* haha! i plan on watching it again.. plus my sister said that they're already showing the full-length trailer of The Two Towers.. wasn't able to see it 'cause my folks and i arrived at the movie house just in time.. Quidditch was better, the screenplay was better.. and how they've grown up! Ron's (rupert) always making piyok and Harry (daniel) gained weight.. (Ron: They were starving him, Mum.. Me thinks: No, they're not. lol) They're all at least an inch taller, i think.. especially Daniel and Rupert... and i still adore Hermione.. though i think she's thinner.. some girls screamed when Oliver Wood appeared on screen.. hehe.. i had to cover my mouth to restrain myself.. :p ..obvious buh excited parin ako sa movie?.. am still pretty psyched.. gusto ko na mag-saturday para mapanood ko ulit! movie house was jampacked and i think i'd only get good seats if i watched it as soon as the Mall opens! hehe.. thinking of asking my HS friends to watch with me..

System Time: 10:43 AM
..fucking slipped *wapaks herself* *wapaks sarili again*

System Time: 10:52 AM
...SOOOOO sleypi.. -_- falling asleep right this moment.. (even with Regine Velasquez screaming at the top of her lungs with her rendition of "I'll never love this way again").. presently listening to Regine's R2k1 Album.. (that's how the folder was labeled)

System Time: 3:59 PM
..just had a meeting with Ma'am Malou.. she said that since the VB Project is having legal problems, we're gonna be joining the new batch of AS400 trainees.. actually, i'm okay with that 'cause it's always cool to learn something new and i've never even touched a dummy terminal before..but of course, i'll be saying goodbye to my PC perks.. goodbye mp3.. goodbye notepad (reading OCRd books and THIS! my blogs).. hhuhuhu..not to forget what Ma'am Malou said, that Ma'am Belle (our trainor) is very particular when it comes to attendance so we should avoid being late.. (waah! >_<) bright side is i'll never have to worry about making panggap at the office.. 'cause i've seen other AS400 trainees and they follow a strict schedule of activities..though they also have strict break times ..15 minutes lang tlga waaaaaaah .. the new batch are also older than us (with already 2-3 working experience).. Ma'am said they're likely to be our junior analysts so we shouldn't compare ourselves to them 'cause we're more on the techie side.. (like i don't the difference between an analyst and a programmer).. i used to want to be an analyst.. but i find designing systems a bit boring.. that's what i did on my last job, actually.. many people say that we were like consultants.. and i'm pretty sure consultants/analysts receive a higher pay than most programmers.. but i still like programming better 'cause i'm not much of a people person.. analysts have to talk to all kinds of people, from managers, to users, to programmers.. and you can't really become that technically adept 'cause you don't need to become one in the first place,.. all you hafto do is depend on the programmers..

System Time: 5:31 PM
..tsk i think the balot i ate a while ago is wreaking havoc to my stomach.. *_* tsaket. LoL!
..hmmm.. wasn't able to go online last night.. Ate's company account didn't work so i wasn't able to post my blog.. not even sure if i would be able to post this one..

System Time: 1:29 PM
...it's Jing's birthday today! Happy Beerday Jing!.. she's my HS kabarkada.. will be celebrating at their house on Saturday (yehey hehe).. speaking op burpdays.. mine's coming up soon..i'm actually getting excited 'cause i'm thinking of throwing a pasta-party hehe.. (ok, pasta-beer-party then) though i think my savings might get depleted after my birthday..at least it's gonna be fun, right?
..can't believe i'm gonna be 22. 22 sounds so... un-teenagish.. though i haven't been a teenager for 2 years already, 21 doesn't sound so... old wahahah. *siGhs*
..feeling sleepy again. been doing some work (waaaaaaaat i'm actually working on a monday mawnin!?).. finished it before lunch time.. i think among the four of us, i'm the only one who isn't doing anything (again).. Koji's doing some really difficult SQL scripts, while Chipper and Froi are working on the templates..and me,..i'm just staring at my monitor trying to keep my eyes open.. @_@

*lets out a big YaWn*

..lapit na Haripotpot! well, that's exciting.. my sister and I are gonna watch it on Wednesday..think i'll just read the book (again).. test myself if i could memorize it.. lolz.. (so that i'll be able to answer HP trivia.. i suck at trivias huhuhu)

..ay! ay! saw Nic Belasco at Shangrila today.. ate lunch there.. he was with his wife and kids (i think.. just assumed).. you can't help but notice him 'cause he's so tall..

..hhmmmm... *thinks of list i did last Friday*

..wasn't able to upload anything new to my site ( i did say that item was "doubtful", right?); was able to do items 1,2 and 5.. watched The Touch (Michelle Yeong) and Mr. Deeds.. couldn't do item #4 'cause didn't realize that vendors have stopped selling cd mp3s at the mall near us.. (Sta.Lucia)

..just remembered something, this weekend, while chatting my notify list gave me this "discr3et is on IRC".. so my initial reaction was.. "wow nabuhay." .. i whois-d the said nick and saw that he was in #upcebu.. so that was clue #2 that he's really Spidey.. then after a few secs, i got the "discr3et has left IRC" thing.. my OTHER irc, (i had 2 that time, both connected) showed "discr3et euridic3 is logged in as".. so when i entered #upcebu, i only saw one handle voiced so i automatically whois-d that nick.. got " euridic3 is logged in as" so they're one and the same right?.. so i macked the nick and said

"peter?"..
he said: "?"

anywayz, to make a long story short he didn't tell me that he was Spidey.. he denied it.. i mean, at first i kinda believed him.. but then (a day after that, i think) i saw "h0lygh0st is on IRC" with the "h0lygh0st euridic3 is logged in as" ek ek.. hay. i really don't get it why he doesn't want to talk to me.. as if i'd eat him alive or something like that.. it's not like i said something to offend him.. i believe it was the other way around.. HE was the one who rejected me.... hmmm.. onga ano.. *wapaks sarili* he doesn't want me bothering him. period. fine then.

System Time: 3:41 PM
..presently connected to Sir Herbert's PC (his mother died yesterday, btw. RIP condolence) listening to The Calling's whole album while eating Champola sticks to help me stay awake.. also been reading previous blogs.. hay. can't believe i'm so ma-emote regarding pangs. hilarious, really. thinking he was someone special, when he's just one big maLandeeeeeH. actually, i have already started talking to him at IRC.. i figured out what i was feeling...was disbelief, that i was so fucking gullible... talking to him doesn't hurt me anymore. when i think of him i just make this *tsk tsk* sound with matching iling in my mind while trying to hide this smirk forming in my face.. fucking comedy.

System Time: 4:59 PM
.. 1 hour to go.. reading past blogs again.. haven't mentioned that i have 2 fairy-tale books already.. second was "Animal Stories by Disney", could still be considered a fairy-tale book 'cause it had Cinderella in it (because of the mice? ewan. lol).. already have 8 stamps on my Powerbooks Track Card.. 65 stamps to go.. LOL! demmit ang dami pala.. asked my sister..
"ano makukuha ko pag nakumpleto ko ang stamps sa card na toh?"
she said: "card din"
nYeh! actually, she was referring to the discount card, ... hehe sana free book man lang hmpft... tagal ng Order of Phoenix, kainish.. what if something happens to J.K. Rowling? who would finish the rest of the HP books then? lol! just really getting impatient as to when the 5th book will be released.. hmmm..

System Time: 5:50 PM
..10 minutes to go, wooHoo! gonna meet k8tee at Galle to give back her brush.. she left it in my bag when we went to #cfad's halloween party..
..5:56 na.. more staring then log-out na.. bye!

System Time: 8:32 AM
..TGIF! had a difficult time urging myself to get up and go to work today.. focused on things like "i could wear jeans today"; "only 8 hours"; "can prepare bread with sundried tomatoes and cheese herb for baon".. actually ate one slice already.. (yum) they're really good.. all you have to do is put some sun-dried tomatoes on any piece of bread.. then add some cheese herb and toast them.. all of which can be bought at a gourmet store.. mom buys them cause she puts them in the spaghetti sauce.. *getting hungry again*
..downloaded last night Alice in Wonderland.. started reading it when i got here in the office.. didn't even finish the first chapterwhen i started feeling frustrated for Alice.. she's so stupid! LoL! no,really.. she is.. she's so TATA.. tatanga-tanga..
..so shifted to Book 2 of HP again..

..just remembered something..

..still haven't finished my site.. i really should continue doing it.. i keep on starting things and not finishing them.. just like the fan site i made for james blanco.. (lol).. but that has a more valid excuse 'cause i don't have enough pictures of him to start my "Gallery Link".. the pictures for my "Class Libraries" on the other hand have ALL been scanned.. am just plain lazy to do it..

System Time: 9:31 AM
..this is gonna be one LOOONG day.. hmm..
..wasn't able to watch the Amazing Race last night.. got home past 8.. (buwsit na traffic)
..figured out the bookcrossing.com site.. they PHYSICALLY put books on the wild.. just so happened that the first book i searched for had a URL link.. but most books have been physically left at some place and reported at the site so that a person may find it and read it.. did find a lot of e-book sites.. (search: free e-book at google) mostly contained classical literature.. thought i would enjoy reading Alice in Wonderland.. tsk tsk.. didn't remember her being THAT stupid and weird..

/me feeling my collar bone (LoL!!!)

hehe payat kow. (tlga? haha)

..hope i gain some weight before christmas.. i know i've been saying it often that i'll quit smoking but i'm really, really serious this time.. actually, it's sort of an experiment to see if i'm addicted to it.. 'cause i've talked to ex-chain-smokers and a few told me that they just decided to stop one day and they haven't smoked since.. not that stopping can guarantee weight-gain but i'm pretty sure i'm not exactly getting heavier by smoking everyday...just 10 minutes to go before break timeeee..

System Time: 10:55 AM
..now they're telling us we hafto go to work tomorrow to help on the crystal reports..
/me NyeHH!
..'yoko nguh..was really looking forward to sleeping late tomorrow.. just hafto invent some valid excuse. :)

System Time: 2:38 PM
..turns out i don't need an excuse 'cause they'll only be needing one person.. and thaaaaaaaaaat's Koji! yehey!.. another good news (i think?).. our project-meter-incentive will really start soon.. on Nov. 20 to be exact.. like what Sir Herbert said, was a little bit unfair 'cause we were actually already helping in making some actual projects but we haven't been paid extra for them.. so officially on Nov. 20 (some of us will start earlier than that).. we'll be filling up Project Time sheet forms.. just a way for them to keep track of the hours spent each day on a form/module/report..

System Time: 3:46 PM
..just a little over an hour to go before 5 PM..wish time would just melt away.. guess i'll just continue reading Alice(tata) in Wonderland..

System Time: 4:15 PM
..feeling sleepy again.. can't even close my eyes 'cause my bosses are having a meeting at my right side.. could see them in my peripheral vision.. (lol) buwsit.. guess i'll just list down the stuff that i'll do this weekend..
1. wake up at around 8:30 am on Sat. morning
2. watch one of our pirated dvds
2. finish and upload my "Class Libraries" (doubtful..but i can always hope)
3. buy a cd mp3 (btw.. presently listening to Mike Francis - Let Me in (live ver.))

System Time: 8:27 AM
..was so tired yesterday that when i got home, i slept first before eating my dinner.. good thing i slept at my parent's bedroom (they were obliged to wake me up) or else i wouldn't have eaten and just continued sleeping till morn.. finished reading A Little Princess.. they're supposed to give us Crystal Reports but they haven't even arrived yet.. guess they worked really late last night.. wasn't late today.. (yes!).. i was already late once this month, which broke my 32 days-no-late streak.. tsk tsk...
..i'm feeling okay now,..took decolgen and biogesic last night before sleeping..

System Time: 11:04 AM
..still haven't given us new crystal reports.. already finished reading LOTR.. *sleepy again*
..reading HP again for the nth time..Book 2.. ate Chary just called and said they're already selling tickets for the Nov. 13 showing at Greenbelt and G4.. asked if i would like to watch with her.. (syempRe!) so, as early as now, we already have sure seats reserved for Wednesday.. yeHey. i like watching at Makati.. audience is more educated and who actually have read the books...

System Time: 2:19 PM
..still haven't done a single-work related thing today.. seems like they don't plan on giving us any crystal report.. better download a new book later at home.. if only i could figure out this bookcrossing.com site.. i feel so stupid not finding the books "in the wild".. hmm..
..@_@ so hard to stay awake when you're doing nothing.. really grateful to my earphone extension.. i'm no longer stooping just to put on earphones.. still wish i had a cd-rw.. could've copied all my p3s at home to my workstation here at the office instead of buying cd mp3s..
..presently eating meiji biscuits.. don't even know what it's called 'cause everything's in japanese (except the word meiji).. they're like small chocolate mushrooms.. (yum-yum) helps me stay awake..

System Time: 3:05 pm
..gaaH.. sleepy again..(@_@) ..
..presently listening to Live - I Alone
.. to leave you there by yourself chained to faith.. i alone love you, i alone tempt you.. i alone love you, fear is not the end of this..

System Time: 5:07 PM
..think reading all day is making me dizzy.. hope i won't be doing this 'til tomorrow.. (but i have a feeling i will... no signs of giving us any reports to work on..)..

System Time: 5:35 PM <-- time's sooo sloww
..hu-hum...just waiting for 6 pm..

System Time: 5:54 <--yehey
..i think i hafto stop reading now..'cause i'm getting dizzier by the chapter.. this is bad, reading all day..all my superiors are at the back.. perhaps with a clear view of my monitor.. must make panggap (LoL)
..haven't smoked since yesterday.. (sows.) i'm really serious now 'bout quitting for the ff. reasons:
1. feel sickly
2. low appetite
3. really feel as if i'm getting thinner everyday
..already 6 pm.. was this a loooong day or what? gtg now.. bye!

System Time: 9:11 AM
...been reading a soft copy of A Little Princess for an hour now.. saw a site where their motto is "free your books"; they give out URLs of books which have been scanned and OCRd.. was initially looking for the Bourne Identity but when i found it,.gave me dead-end links.. (hu-Hum).. still found a site where it contained classic books such as the one i'm reading.. plus The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Three Muskeeters, etc.. will look at the site again later when i get home.. all 4 of the HP books are there, as well as LOTR.. will share the URL later.. (forgot it).. not doing anything work-related.. just enjoying the book and my extended earphones (lol).. i could lean back on my chair now hehe.. will continue reading.. Sarah's still rich and her father hasn't died yet.. later!

System Time: 1:04 PM
..suddenly felt sick... already took some medicine (asked Ma'am Marlyn for a biogesic tablet).. borrowed Chipper's jacket.. *sighs*
..my back aches, i feel nauseous and sleepy all at the same time... (~_~)
..brb

System Time: 2:32 PM
..everyone was called for a 'company meeting'.. was only about shutting down servers and the network.. will be given new crystal reports to work on.. they're on a deadline and i think we're expected to stay late in the office as well.. hmm..
..pak. now i remember why i don't like my present hairstyle.. hair keeps on going to my face that i now have two fucking zits; one for each cheek. they weren't there when i woke up.. waaaH! i'm like some weird bio experiment to prove that the human body is indeed asymmetrical. deMMit! been trying to tuck my hair behind my ear the whole day. grrrr.
...feeling better now.. (well, better than i was just a few hours before)..better but with zits. GRRr again.
...really, really hafto stop smoking.. resistance to viruses is non-existent.. i should remind my mother to buy me some multi-vitamins.. *sighs*

System Time: 4:07 PM
..zits weren't so bad after i looked in the mirror.. lol.. still concealable..
..ei free food again here at the office.. pizza tym!

System Time: 4:49 PM
... ate a slice of pizza, some spaghetti.. and chugged on coke.. didn't smoke after but i think i'm feeling hot again.. (i'm in heat, hehe).. how i wish to just lie in my bed.. dex's cousin texted me again.. (re: customs broker exam results).. still haven't seen it.. actually, just depending on a few friends i've texted (those residing at manila) that if they happen to pass by PRC, to look at the results for me.. anywayz.. will continue reading A Little Princess..

...just got home.. decided to go malling inspite of the rain.. good news though, was able to buy earphone extension! yes.. my poor back has been bothering me since i've been stooping just to put on my earphones..

..well.. gudnayt all!

p.s. late pala ako kanina! 8:17 a.m. grrr
System Time: 5:45 PM <--woaH.
... been programming the whole day (YeS!) ..finished it (with some help from opismeyts) at around 4:30 pm.. hope there's a new one tomorrow.. just love it when time speeds up.. will probably do some 'extensive' testing tomorrow if no new template comes up..
...don't feel like going home early today.. but it's raining hard so i guess i'll just hafto..don't want to get stranded or something like that... you know why i want to go home late? so that i'll be so tired that i'll just eat my dinner and then directly go to sleep.. so that i won't be able to go online.. think i'm starting to give in.. (HINDI PWEDE)..actually.. he's been really QUITE irritating.. 'cause he's telling EVERYONE that i'm angry with him.. even my HS friend Jing asked me.." oh,galit ka daw kay ***?".. i was like.. "nyeh. pano nakarating sayo yun?".. turns out she and pangs had chatted at IRC and he told her.. kabwiset.. everyONE keeps asking me "bakit ka galit sa kanya".. grrrrr. if i wasn't angry then, i'm angry now! parang pinagmamalaki puh nya uh. gaaH!

*erases from memory*

5:56 PM na. hay. sa bagay ok din na umuwi na ako kasi saket ng likod ko e. tumatanda na talaga ako LoL.

bye all!

System Time: 8:01 AM
..November na.

..Work day. *long sigh*

..been sorting my "schedule" for the day while in the shower..
1. really, really finish the rest of my sql scripts (about 3)
2. test existing scripts
3. enter test data in table (for me to do item # 2)

..now all i have to do is stick to my scheduled activities for the day..

..Ate Ging's going to Malaysia again today.. she'll be staying there for another month.. roommate-less again.. been pestering my dad to buy a double decked bed.. ours actually is one, but we separated it since the lower bunk's post splitted to half... (bed's made of wood) our room's actually kinda big.. if we have a double-decked bed we'd be able to put a billiards table in it.. hehe.. problem is we wouldn't be able to fit it through our door..

*yaWns*

..still feeling heavy-eyed though i slept early last night at around 11 pm.. ay ay i remember.. hafta congratulate myself... still not talking to x-pangs.. (yeS!) almost, almost "weebeeD" him at #sanbeda.. just when i was about to type the words he disconnected... (:bleh) fate stepped in when my resolution was weakening..LoL
..have now added an additional guideline when online.. "if i'm not talking to anyone or just staring at IRC while he's online.. disconnect at once! as in click-d-mader-paking lightning icon..'cause if i talk to him while i'm not yet ready.. it'll just be a fucking cycle.. apektado pa nga ako sa IDENT nya e! lalo na pag sini-seen nya yun.. landeeh talaga.. meh gf na kung cno² pa hinahanap.. kung cno² pa tinatawagan.. GAAAAHHHHHHHH! *angry phase parin* actually, i'm on the "i'm-not-sure-if-i'm-angry-at -him-or-at-myself-phase" maybe i'm just plain angry. gaaaH! i would give anything just for me to feel NoTHinG. still haven't figured out why i'm even freaking writing about him here.. why i'm still so fucking affected. he lied to me about having a gf. so what!?? (feels sooooo sad just writing this) hay. so wat talaga dapat. instead, i go "waaaaaaaaaaaat?" in my mind.. tsk tsk tsk. i'm fucking hopeless.

and 9:06 am PA LANG. demmit. first thought when i woke up: "ang layo puh ng 6 pm".. was thinking of 6 pm at 5:30 in the morning..*sighs*
.. is my mom's birthday today.. forgot to greet her so i called at our house from the office.. think my mom's 56ish.. or 55ish.. will ask later..

System Time: 9:46 AM
...maybe i should really quit smoking..my appetite's been really close to non-existent.. and everyone's been saying that i've lost weight.. (howdpakdatispossible, can't say)..
..only 180+ passed the Customs board exam..out of (1800+) i've searched for the complete list in the net but it's just NOT there!.. the closest i got was at inq7.net but they only had the top 10 people.. (got the url for PRC but i don't think the site still exists 'cause i always get this "page cannot be displayed" thing) hay. i've got a feeling that momi didn't pass 'cause i think he might've shared the good news with me, right? pero sanaaaa talaga kasama sya sa pumasa. i know it's sooo important for him..

System Time: 10:45 AM
...am so sleypi -_- LOTR can be sooooo dragging.. hu-humm..

..ate cHa! musta ka na? long time no tok :( .. di ka na rin nagboblog huhuhu.. kakatamad din siguro magblog ano? actually.. pansin mo buh pag nasa bahay ako walang wenta mga blog ko.. dito lang sa office yung 'medyo' meh storya.. dito kasi sa office.. either magblog ako or matulog e.. hehe..

..if i could, then i would.. i'd go wherever you will go.. way up high, or down low.. i'll go wherever you will go...if i could make you mine.. i'll go wherever you will go..

..still not getting tired of this song.. presently listening to the acoustic version..

The Kid's been helping me stay awake.. katxt ko ngayon.. buti nga nakakausap ko ulit sya e.. hay. saket ng likod ko. *strets-strets*

wonder what my batchmates are doing... they all seem so busy and awake.. notice that i still haven't done my supposed schedule for today.. staring at my monitor has really become my favorite hobby..

System Time: 11:46 A.M.
..tried switching from LOTR to book 2 of HP.. still fell asleep after a couple of paragraphs.. tagal ng lunch time uh.. feels as if the time isn't moving.. 15 minutes to go parin! i'll read my previous blogs again.. they can be really entertaining.. LoL.. especially my melodramatic entries.. maybe i could copy my archives later in a word document during lunch break... kasiii bat buh walang internet sa workstations namen.. kainish..
... think i've memorized book 2 of HP already.. especially the first few chapters.. wooHoo Chamber of Secrets will be showing on Nov. 13! i'm so excited for that.. haven't even looked at Toy stores for HP stuff.. my "HP Shrine" kinda needs restocking.. (not to mention, dusting)..
..wooHoo.. was able to copy my posted blogs at Chipper's workstation.. his PC is connected.. demmit.. anywayz.. will have lots to read later.. lunchtime!

System Time: 2:47 PM
..been reading past blogs.. wasn't able to download the June entries.. will download it later... reading my past blogs kinda entertains me.. (weird, eh?).. 'cause i can be so o.a. hehe (a perfect example is today's blog).. actually.. it's nice to recall my jobless days till the present i-hate-work-days.. how i would talk about PC and pangs almost non-stop.. i myself get confused as to whom i was referring to.. lol.. this blog really started with PC.. think i even cried on the phone while talking to pangs about him.. (X-PANGS NGA PALA) actually, i cry EVERY TIME i make wento about him.. tsk. getting rejected does that to you.

System Time: 5:25 PM
copied most of my blog to this Word document.. having a blast (?) just reading them.. especially my first few work days.. excited na excited ampootah.. LoL.. actually, enjoy naman talaga dati kasi laging busy.. kasi puro training.. anywayz, we've been given new templates to work on.. Sir Herbert said they'll be quite difficult so i'm looking forward to that.. any work's welcome...nahihirapan na akong magpanggap pahaba ng pahaba tuloy blog ko..

kaChat ko nga pala si "bal" kagabi...(kaya ok lang khet ol si pangs.. ndi ako idle hehe) 'la lang.. seryoso ang kwentuhan e.. dinadaan ko lang sa "L o L" tsaka sa "HeHe"..sabi ko nga sa kanya..sa panahon ngayon, bawal magseryoso!.. mauURat ka lang..

yes 5:40 na! didn't do ANY of my "scheduled activities".. ok lang.. Sir Herbert said to not finish the scripts, anywayz.. so that we could do the new templates assigned to us.. will read some more previous blogs then log out.. bye all!
