just heard a re-make of Yellow. don't know who the band/girl was. kainis. was a sucky remake.. i mean, the song was only good because of his voice.. (sorry, don't know Coldplay's lead singer's name) .. without his vocals, the song isn't even likeable.

i just hate remakes.

except counting crow's remake of ghost in you. and oasis' wonderwall.

i hate the rest.

la lng. just ranting.. pasok na naman bukas... *sighs* bye all!

System Time: 1:28 PM
ei ei.. i've decided to submit an entry to "What book has changed your life?" contest by Powerbooks. I'm not much of a writer, and the book i've chosen is nothing deep or philosophical like East of Eden or Paulo Coelho's books.. i also wanted to write about those books but it's difficult to put into writing how much i believe in angels, sacred rituals, etc now.. so i decided to write about Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.. here's what i wrote..

I have been working for more than 3 years but I had no savings, no investments because I would spend my salary the minute it touches my hand. After reading the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, I started evaluating my whole life. I had been buying nothing but liabilities! Now, I try to assess every little thing I buy. I have completely changed my money habit and have renewed vigor in my work because I know if I work hard, I would soon have my own money to invest on. As Mr. Kiyosaki said, "Focusing on my own business, developing assets, made me a better employee. I now had a purpose.” My only regret is not learning about the book sooner. Can you imagine how hard my money could’ve been working for me by now if I started the instant I was earning?

well.. it's not winning piece material but it's a way to get people to read the book also.. that's probably the main objective of the contest anyway..

My sister's gonna write about "Four Agreements".. that's a good book too.. but Rich Dad, Poor Dad really changed my life.. the contest only requires 150 words or less which is just TOO short that i had to delete half of what i've written in my first draft.. i had stuff like..

"When you're single, living with your parents and considerably young (23, in my case), motivating yourself to work can be extremely difficult especially when no one is depending on your income." lol! i've learned soooo much from that book like stuff on how to build your financial IQ, or what assets are (i've learned them in school but accounting can be PRETTY BORING) and secrets of the rich.. it said stuff like "rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries first".. which is soo true 'cause i would find myself buying the whole clinique line when i can do just as well with a johnson's baby powder on my kikay kit, lol! Also, Mr. Kiyosaki said this "the rich buy assets. the poor only have expenses. the middle class buys liabilities they think are assets." ps2s, cellphones, dvds.. shittss.. i've got a whole lot of them.. basta, the most important rule i've learned is to know the difference between an asset and a liability.. and i should only concentrate my efforts on buying income-generating assets.. after my assets produce income, that's the time to buy luxuries.. not wasting my job salary on personal effects that have no real value once i get them home..(i quoted Mr. Kiyosaki hehe).. i've talked non-stop about it.. to my friends, my sisters, my parents.. i mean, nobody talked to me how i would handle my money once i started earning my own.. my parents would tell me (like Poor Dad on the book) to study hard to get a good job when they should've taught me to study hard to give jobs.. that's why rich people with kids will produce rich kids..they teach their kids how they would handle money and make the money work for them.. the great thing about the book is it doesn't tell you to quit your dayjob.. it encourages you to be the best employee for you to start earning and to start minding your own business. we work for everyone but ourselves.. we work for the company we work for, the government through our taxes, for banks that keeps our money.. we make everyone else richer! that's why he said we should "mind our own business"... a business where our money works for us and not the other way around..

System Time: 2:09 PM
..syempre all this talk about making money made me call up Jul Nuique for their website... i guess we had a misunderstanding because i thought they didn't want to make a site any longer 'cause it would mean that they would have to show pictures of their products that could be pirated by other companies in the same line.. so i told Poy (Jul's younger brother.. about my age) to call me when they've decided what they want in the site and who their audience will be.. BUT poy said it was ME who was going to call them back.. nyerks.. good thing i called and jul said again that "ako lang daw hinihintay nila" .. nyeks again.. anyway, i'm going their on saturday to talk things through and design a database (read: to MMM as in Make More Money!).. they want something that would have 2 access levels, the higher level containing the new products while the lower one would be for general viewing..

uy excited na ulit ako har har har.

grabe. this is the text message i received from dex yesterday.. "*mwaaah* HAPI 3RD ANNIVERSARY MI. ang tgal n natin mi. mi sori s lhat n ngawa ko 4 d last 3 yrs. ang dami kong pgku2lang but still ur der. salamat sa lahat. I LOVE U."
sweet diba? but my first reaction was.. "3 YEARS!?" ndi ba 2.. tas putek.. napaisip ako.. kasi kami na nung naggraduate kami eh, that was 2001.. so 3 years nga pala.. hahahaha! eh on off naman kami eh (tska naglalaho siya dati noh) kaya siguro nakatatak sa isip ko na 2 years.. lolz.. gosh. ang tagal na nga. hehe. sige alis na rin ako.. punta pa ko powerbooks.. babay!

okay. so i'm a little bit disappointed. hmm.. i guess not just a bit.. perhaps a little more than a "bit". BUT.. you know.. hmm.. ahh ewan. just making something out of nothing.. sige. i'm just gonna shut up.

gudnite all :)

System Time: 2:59 PM
something's wrong. my clock's not working. it's not fucking moving! can't believe it's only 3 pm. i feel as if i've stared at my monitor for ages. it's taking all my willpower not to go home already.. maybe it's because it's a holiday tomorrow and i can't wait to have my movie marathon.. hay.. excuse pa ko eh lagi naman akong ganito pag alang ginagawa lol..

System Time: 3:11 PM
people often ask me 'bout dex.. you know, the usual stuff like how is he doing or how are we doing (as a couple).. i give my usual answer like "okay lang" or "ganon parin" but actually.. it's great.. especially these past few days. maybe it's because of lara's wedding that we keep on talking 'bout our future together..(tsaka nagpapakasweet *ehem* na rin ako hehe) or maybe because tomorrow's our 2nd anniv and we're excited 'bout that.. we have nothing special planned.. but just the thought that we've been together for 2 years makes me feel really giddy and special.. after the "Milan" incident, i try to put more effort in our relationship and fully appreciate how lucky i am that i have him as my bf.. i mean, what the shit was i thinking about? ranting 'bout pc here and my so-called impossible love.. my friends are always complaining 'bout their bf's insensitivity, unfaithfulness, immaturity etc.. dex has been nothing but great to me... even if we sometimes fight 'bout petty stuff...he always comes around (even if i'm the guilty party) and talk things through..

i love you dextergelbolingomomikowbesprenkowasawakow

System Time: 11:58 AM
currently experiencing electricity fluctuations.. okay lang dito, meh UPS ako but it's kinda scary if the electricity fluctuates when we're inside an elevator.. nakagenerator lng kasi tas nagpapalit palit ng power source.. ay ang init. ay wala na namang kuryente.. ay meron na.. hehe scary.

System Time: 1:00 PM
ala palang pasok sa Wednesday (feb 25, edsa) buti na lng pumasok ako..kungdi 3 days lng ako hehe.. last saturday was lara's wedding.. ang saya.. not only the wedding but the fact that it's the first time dex and i've been together for one whole day since he got here last august.. after the wedding, we went back to lara's house to watch her open their wedding presents.. kakatawa, they got 4 oven toasters, 3 dish drainers, 3 starter sets, 3 rice cookers and a lot of other stuff that doubled.. lol! but they did get a tv, dvd player, washing machine, etc.. twas so cool to watch lara and jp open them up with people hollering their guesses as to what the gift is.. (ang gagaling manghula ng mga matatanda, lol).. yung paglector ko, meh times na yung priest na yung sumasagot kasi nawawala ako at ndi ko alam na ako na pala.. kasi naman adlib ng adlib yung pari lol..pero all in all okay naman daw sabi nila kate..

My blog last February 13, 2004

System Time: 10:27 AM
.. people here at prumerica are listening to Joe's Love notes.. and after reading the letter, joe played my fave fave song.. "If i was the one" by Ruff Endz.. it's my song for .. hehe.. secret.. it's pre-valentines day and i don't want to let my thoughts wander to the brink of unfaithfulness.. but i still love the song.. i used to listen to it one whole day without getting tired of it.. i used to watch Centerstage just to hear that song.. (it's the song they dance to in the 'play')

since everyone's talking bout valentines day, i'm reading an all-time classic romantic novel by Judith McNaught... none other than "Whitney, My Love".. am supposed to be doing my VB (YES, I'M BACK IN VB, THANK GOD!) program but how could i concentrate with everyone talking 'bout heart-shaped donuts, sir dennis' flowered blouse and the singletons (old single ladies, *stifles a laugh*) having a ladies' night tonight.. i had to celebrate valentines in my own way, hence, the reading of this lovely loovelyy l-o-v-e ly novel.. (courtesy of #bookz in undernet.. i labyu sistah thanks for telling me 'bout the channel) i could hardly recall reading this particular Judith Mcnaught novel.. hmm.. maybe i haven't read this at all! it's just i've ALWAYS known Whitney, My Love.. perhaps i just imagined reading the book, lol..

System Time: 10:53 AM
everyone's not here.. so i took advantage of my solitude and called Jing, just to talk about lara's upcoming wedding.. you know, girl talk.. dresses, gifts.. we're both uneasy in wearing a dress so at least i found someone who would sympathize in my dilemma.. which reminds me...shit. i still have nothing to wear. >_<

basahin ko na lng muna yung whitney.

System Time: 1:33 PM
just realized it's Friday the 13th.. am not the superstitious type.. think i've deleted every single chain-email i've received, even after reading it from start to finish does not make me worry that anything bad that might happen to me could be 'caused by something as inconspicuous as a forwarded email..

still reading Whitney, though i was able to correct some bugs in my program in between chapters..(i'm the multi-tasking queen.. har har har)

i had this very, very weird dream last night.. i dreamed that ate chary and my cousin, kuya don were getting married.. lol! how creepy is that! everyone was there in my dream, like it was one of our normal family gatherings..i even had a fight with some of the people in "the church", and considering my war-freakedness, that just adds up to the normality of my the whole event.. i only remember bits and pieces, but that was mainly the general picture of my dream..i woke up uttering "ewww" and would probably look at my sister and kuya don a bit more vigilantly from now on.. lol! kadirs.

System Time: 3:28 PM
it's been a lucky friday the 13th for me so far.. all of the IT people are on another meeting so i'm left alone again.. so, so happy 'cause i could continue reading the novel.. hehe..

basa ulit! brb

ahh cripes. they're back. >_<

just remembered.. visited my site last night.. was sooo happy to see that the awful banners are gone.. i dunno if it'll stay that way.. i'm thinking of making a new site.. a dynamic one.. yeah, i know i haven't even finished the nakng site.. but i need to learn to make a data-driven site so i could make sites for small businesses.. plus, updating static pages are suuch a hassle.. need to make a site just like blogger.com where i'd just log in and update away.. (i feel another unfinished project in the making).. nyways, back to work.. brb

..still reading The Valkyries.. it's about angels.. talking to them.. seeing them.. and rituals.. or routines as they are more commonly called.. there were times that i found the book disturbing.. it's frightening to think of Paulo Coelho's past.. but mostly, it's enlightening, like every Paulo Coelho book.. i greatly admire him, as a magus and as an evangelizer.. he's doing his part to spread the word.. i feel that i have to have a magic marker whenever i'm reading his books to highlite phrases that i feel i should know by heart..

System Time: 2:03 PM
had lunch at Pier One, Sir Felix' treat.. was his birthday yesterday and he treated the whole IT dept for lunch.. also bought a dozen donuts at GoNuts DoNuts.. ang korni ng name ano.. but when we went there, there was a long queue of people buying donuts so i suppose these should be good (plus the box said "insanely delicious!" lol)..
..grabe, i feel bloated hehe.. and sleepy -_-

i cried yesterday, here at the office.. nobody saw me, though, 'cause i went to the CR and locked myself inside a cubicle.. i didn't mean to cry.. (as if you can plan when you want to cry, lol) i didn't realize first that i was crying,but when i did.. i cried harder than ever..(silently, of course) i cried for the weirdest reason ever.. i never thought i'd ever cried about something like this.. the only times i've cried was when i was heartbroken or when i was being a brat and got frustrated over not getting something i want (hehe) or when watching a sad movie ..... i cried over work.. yeah.. work! it's a first for me.. before i had my flood fest, i called Ma'am Q at Radix..
me: "Ma'am Q? si geri po ito"
mam: "yes, ma'am. ang lungkot ng boses mo uh"
me:"obvious po ba mashado?"
mam:"bakit ma'am? meh nang-aaway na naman sayo dyan?"
me: *tawa na* "opo. waaah. ma'am hirap na hirap na ako dito!"
mam:"yaan mo, by march, darating na yung vc++ programmer.. meh tutulong na sayo"
me:"oki po"
mam:"gusto mo kausapin ko si joel?" (yung boss ko dito)
me:"ndi na po, ma'am"
mam:"konting tiis na lang.. basta, hang on ka lang dyan"
me:"thank you po mam"

.. that was just the gist of our conver.. she also said stuff like "sige, ibuhos mo lng saken lahat ng sama mo ng loob" lol.. i think she knew i was close to my snapping point..thankfully i didn't put on a show in front of the prumerica people.. after we hung up, i quickly went to the CR.. and there i cried. it's just that everyday here is a struggle.. i feel so pressured, being the sole debugger of this sucky vc++ program..and the error list seems endless..when i solve one, another error is discovered..it's a fucking never-ending cycle..i constantly think about it when i'm awake, and have nightmares about it when i'm asleep..sure, i felt this way sometimes before, but that's different,.. that's visual basic! THIS, this is something i know nothing about but still, i'm trying my very best to understand it..now i know how it feels like when you're told that "your best isn't good enough"..i told Ma'am Marivic, my direct supervisor, that i've reached my limit.. that i can't solve some of the errors, it's beyond me.. it's good that she understood, and told me how we could work around on some of the errors..the crying did me good though,.. like it cleared my mind and calmed me somehow after i let it all out..i was able to cross one out of the error list after that.. guess i just needed to release all the bad energy in my body..
it felt good to cry, to finally admit that i'm feeling the pressure.. i've been sort of bottling it inside, not even telling dex, or my friends how dreadful i feel at work.. like sir jojo, (parang handler ko sa radix for this prumerica project) he would always ask me "oh, geri, musta ka na sa prumerica" and i would reply in my usual "okay lang, sir" 'cause i assume that's what everyone wants to hear..it's like when you say "musta na?" to a casual acquaintance..you don't really expect a "oh, my dog just died and i forgot to bring my wallet today so i had to ask my seatmate, a complete stranger, in the fx to lend me some money" answer. we're just polite people, trying to appear concerned about someone else's life..of course, to my close friends, i really would want to hear how his/her dog died and what the stranger said but to anybody else, a quick "i'm fine" is all the answer i'll be expecting. my fault was, i was too tired to share my work worries, even to my close friends.. it's just work after all, and i know i'll get the usual response like "kaya mo yan" or "work lang yan".. but now i realize that i needed to hear all those, no matter how repetitive.. everyone needs their 'support system' and i was a fool to think that i could keep it to myself..
