...i'm getting old -_-

System Time: 10:00 AM
God help me, it's a Monday. :(

i still feel soo tired and soo sleepy.. my brain still isn't functioning..my energy's on an all time low and i am blankly staring at my list of things to do for my program and i don't have an ounce of power to do any of them...

my sisters are back from HK..they didn't bring ANY pasalubong so i was extremely disappointed.. i was asking for a benetton rain jacket..(hmpft) think my sisters felt a bit guilty 'cause ate chary offered me her Mango bag instead..they bought these identical Mango bags and ate chary gave me hers.. woohoo! (it even came with a wallet, v.c.!) it's beige with 2 pockets in front.. nothing beats the monday blues like a MNG bag harharhar.. also got a new chinese cellphone holder which officially retired my tattered winnie d pooh sock.. i arbored it from my pre-com Kada Ten², but i'm sure when she sees that winnie's already losing his shirt, she'll understand..(not that i see her anymore.. asan ka ba Ten²!) ate chary also bought a new phone (finally!).. a Sony Ericsson K700.. it's a phone to die for.. it's packed with features but it's lighter than my T68i.. (see my envy flowing through my veins.. lol!)

System Time: 11:52 AM
...was able to program the module for e-mailing the uploaded text files.. hu-hum.. my bosses are lunching out so it's just Raymond and me manning the IT department..hayy.. katamad.

System Time: 11:59 AM
..am currently reading Tuesdays with Morrie..it's like everyone's favorite book but i still haven't read it..so far, it's good.. a bit preachy, but nonetheless, interesting..

System Time: 12:29 PM
got a call from Ms. Dana, the Real-Estate Agent.. i'm thinking of buying a house/condo.. some might think it's a tad early but i disagree.. it's actually the perfect time to invest, when i have no other expenses aside from my personal kakikayans..at least i will be putting my money in good use..

System Time: 1:05 PM
they're still not here! i'll just post this blog now, i might not be able to do it once they're back.. have a not-so-sucky Monday!

... you spokenin' in dollar?

System Time: 4:41 PM
gaah my head aches. i'm still here at the office,.. waiting for dex's reply... don't know if we're gonna meet or not..anyway.. it's been a pretty productive day considering that i was earlier harrassed by Ma'am Soraya's kids.. they're pretty cool, actually.. they speak with an American accent and all.. (they just got it from school) so you could say i practiced my english today, hehe.. as usual, i'm an instant hit with kids.. lol.. i dunno.. i guess it's because i still look like a kid..(or behave like one, whatever!) anyway, they were in the pantry and i came in to eat.. at first they were civilized.. the first questions were a bit weird though.. like.. what's my mother's age.. or my grandmother's age..what was mine.. (they're into the age thing hehe).. then after that it was riot.. they decided to lock me up in the pantry and i felt a bit bruised after i finally was able to get out.. (with Ma'am Soraya's help..) there should be a law against violent kids lol.. they were quite strong and a kid's punch really hurts LOL! but still, i really like them so i hope i would see them again..

some of their questions:
when Andrea (the girl) saw my phone with dex's baby picture as the wallpaper she asked
"who's that?"
me:My boyfriend when he was a baby
andrea: you're going to marry a baby?
me: no..i said when he was baby.. (then i showed the more updated picture)
andrea: you're gonna marry him?
me: yep
andrea: you're gonna marry him now?
me: not now!
andrea: so you're gonna kiss him, right?
*i just laughed.. wanted to say.. been there, done that kid.. lol!*

they're sweet, really.. andrea even asked me "you're gonna be here everyday? i'll see you again? momi and you are officemates, right?"

hehe. so sweet. i kinda miss them already. i even like the way they pronounce my name.. like a slang Gary..

"gereee, gereee" lol.

i better go now.. dex isn't replying and i feel as if i'm gonna have a fever. bye!

...dead lines

My blog yesterday, June 25, 2004:

System Time: 5:02 PM
i'm reaaady to go home.. i'll be logging out at exactly 5:19 PM.. i'll be going to work tomorrow so i could justify my going home early.. besides, i'm soo sleep deprived this week that all i want is to get at least 8 hours of sleep tonight..

still have loads to do, each new day brings me closer to my deadlines so you could just imagine how fast each day ends for me..my mind was already panicking yesterday.. i didn't know how the hell i would derive this certain information.. grabe.. it's so tiring to think! lol! anyway, i'm writing this blog 'cause i FINALLY found a way to work around it (in short, nangdaya ako).. i created a new table instead of trying to figure out what query i could make from the existing tables.. gaaah.
/me scraps one out of my error list.. still uhmm 15 to go? lol. demmit.

System Time: 5:25 PM
so much for exactly 5:19.. bye now!

...juicy fruit.. wala lang

System Time: 8:40 PM
yeah.. i'm sleepy again. i can barely type this blog..

...started looking for a baby gift for lara.. grabe, there's sooo much baby stuff..it's like a whole new planet... and their prices! no wonder couples fight a lot..
..Kate and I went home together..talked about our plans for Lara's upcoming baby shower.. we'll probably be doing that on July 3.. i already have a gift planned.. there's this Chicco bag i saw at the mall.. it's styled like a messenger bag so when you open the flap, you could use it as a mat for the baby to lie on when you change her diapers or something.. very cool.. (and very expensive.. 1k! wahh) but still, it's not everyday your kada contributes to the human population..i wanted to buy the electric sterilizer but the price is double so the bag will have to do..

System Time: 10:41 AM
..think NU blocked me from their texting thing.. LOL! totally uncalled for.. ok, i can be a mean critic but really, if i knew they were that sensitive i would have gladly spared the 2.50 per text deduction from my cell load..they had a band called "Quan" playing.. i actually liked the band except when the lead singer breathes too much in between lines..all i said was.."i guess you're into the breathy style but you sound as if you're hyperventilating" ... now my texts are totally blown off..there goes my freedom of expression..too bad they're the only rock station in Manila..i would've boycotted them.. hmpft. -_-

System Time: 11:03 AM
after 3 days of coding the Weekly Sales Report program, i'm supposed to be back to programming LIPS (Life Planner Service) but i sort of forgot already what i'm supposed to do next..so all i do is stare on my monitor (and listen to NU).. guess i'll REALLY start focusing after lunch..

System Time: 1:12 PM
o--key, it's after lunch and i'm still NOT focusing! gaah! *squints on monitor*

System Time: 7:10 PM
TG it's time to go.. bye all!

...answered prayer

System Time: 7:57 PM
i'm still here at the office.. trying to offset some of my absences..but i'll be going in a couple of minutes.. just want to post my blogs 'cause everyone's home already (except for Sir Loret) so i could freely use the Internet now..

i was inside a cubicle in the girl's room when i said a silent prayer to God.. i said.. "God, let there be blood...".. when i opened my eyes and saw some spattering of blood, i almost cried with relief.. L O L! TG! it's as if a big burden has been lifted from my shoulders.. (halleluia)

anyway, i'm going home now.. bye guys! be safe! (unlike me.. lol) *mwaaah*

...where are the people in the neighborhood?

My blog last June 11, 2004:

System Time: 10:10 AM
i'm back in the office.. after being absent for 3 1/2 days! waahahaha. still feel a bit under the weather but i have no fever anymore so that's good.. (i guess.. lol)

System Time: 10:36 AM
..none of our bosses are here! only Sir Loret is present.. (i'm so lucky hehe) i was working on my "how-am-i-speech" this morning..(it's best to be prepared) looks like i won't be needing it.. Ms. Marivic and Sir Felix are on some sort of training.. Sir Joel and Sir Philbert are sick.. and Ate pretz.. dunno, she goes to work after lunch so i'm still not sure if she's going to work or not.. so that just leaves the 3 of us (Me, Mario and Raymond) and Sir Loret.. this just feels like the time when my HS OIC got sick.. we were like hyenas that got loose..

System Time:10:46 AM
lunch out daw, Janice said.. hmm.. what do i want to eat.. hmm..

System Time: 12:50 PM
*whew*.. almost feels like a walkaton everytime we eat at Glorietta.. we first went to National to see if they sell tickets (they don't) so we just went back to French Baker (Landmark) and ate their.. We did check out the Skechers store 'cause they got watches whose style i like.. (can't explain it here.. it's like the watch is embossed on top of the leather) it's cheaper too.. just 2590 bucks..unlike the 6k version by fossil.. i'll probably buy it later.. (syempre cc haha)

System Time: 1:08 PM
/me daydreaming of the watch. *sighs*

hay. i'm so sleypi. maybe it's because for the past 4 days, i've been sleeping at this hour. (i was practically sleeping the whole week)

i've also been smoke-free for 7 days. woohoo. maybe i'll be able to continue this for the rest of my life. hehe. (wish ko langgg)

shit i'm sleepy. -_-

System Time: 1:22 PM
arrgh i can't work! i'm too sleepy (and too lazy..) can't believe it's only 1:22 pm.. more than 4 hours to go.. suckkkyy.

...Blog-All-You-Can

System Time: 8:45 AM
God, i'm sleepy... *yawns* it's raining again and it's such a straining effort to haul yourself from bed when it's cold and dark outside.. i don't like the rain that much.. especially if it's a work day..hassle pare..at least i'm not wearing our college uniform anymore.. during the rainy season, i would go to class with brown spots at the bottom of my white skirt.. waaaah.. then if i get really lucky i would even get splashed with flood water by some passing vehicles.. just terrific. -_-

i've been helping my mom make some macrame necklaces and bracelets.. she's going to bazaar at DBP this Monday so she's gonna need to sell as many items as she can.. it's also the reason why i've been sleep deprived this week..

System Time:11:15 AM
ohmigod. my system is being tested by the user and he encountered problems as soon as he started encoding. bwahaha. i had to empty the table just so he could start testing it.. so my heart would jump everytime my phone would ring (thinking it might be Carlo, the one who is testing my system) .. can you believe my phone rang for 5 times in just 5 minutes? only the first one was from Carlo.. then the next were Miss Femy from Radix, and the next 3 were for Sir Joel.. (people keep forgetting that he already changed his local) waaah. think my heart is palpitating. *breathe in, breathe out*

System Time: 2:10 PM
grabe.. i'm so friggin full (TG!).. we lunched out at Dad's/Saisaki.. eat-till-you-get-sick (which is exactly what i did).. i mean, what else would one do with all those food available for you? eat, eat, eat until you're sooo full, all you can do is stare into space..now i can hardly breathe and my stomach is bigger than my boobs.. lol.. think i ate a kilo of tuna and salmon sashimi, makis, sushis, tempura, yakitoris ( i could go all day lol).. arrrgh. i should remind myself that gluttony is a sin.

System Time: 4:20 PM
i'm still full! waah. and i feel as if there's a battle happening in my stomach.. did you know that being full makes you groggy.. i'm feeling as if i haven't slept for days.. su-ckyyy.

System Time: 6:06 PM
still here in Prumerica.. i actually have to go to Radix to get my allowance but i'm still waiting for Dex..

System Time: 7:32 PM
..i'm now here at Radix, posting my blogs.. (still waiting for Dex, though).. bye for now, gonna watch HP (or at least, attempt to.. the lines are unbelievable).. have a good one! bye!

...Time flies when you're not looking at your System Tray

My blog last June 1, 2004:

System Time: 10:22 AM
currently listening to Jet - Are you gonna be my Girl.. instantly thought of Ate Cha (it's her current fave song..i think)

System Time: 7:17 PM <--woah, bilis ng oras
..still here at the office but i'm leaving around 7:30 P.M..

..June na pala? yey! tomorrow's the showing of Prisoner of Azkaban but i'll probably won't be able to watch it until Saturday/Sunday.. i've got too much workload.. in between installing LIPS in laptops, i've already started coding the re-engineering of LIPS (Life Planner Service system, the vc++ program).. Mario and I are converting it to VB.. (hurrah!)

i do feel tired. bye for now!
