5 minutes

Yes, I am 5 minutes late. Damn! hehe I wish this will not prolong my agony. Anyway, the reason for being late is the jeep I rode coming to work. Ang bagal, grabe tapos nung nagpagas pa ang bagal, kaya nalate ako. Hay kakasira talaga ng araw, lalo na sa taong di naman nalalate, well sometimes, this kind of crap happens. I hope di magalit si TL pagbalik niya bukas. hehe Hay, bad trip. Yesterday, wala naman bago, nakapagdownload ako ng mga vids na gusto ni Igz but not the cooking vids yet kasi ang tagal iconvert. Siguro kaya din ako nalate kasi late na rin ako natulog. hehe Nanood na naman kasi ako ng Gaki no Tsukai ulit. Naaddict ata. haha Ang kulit kaya ng show na yun. I don't know why the person I like doesn't laugh with it. hehe Siguro iba iba lang talaga nagpapatawa sa bawat isa sa atin. Oh well, let's just hope for tomorrow and for the best. Same routine but Daimos near it's end, while Conan, malamang mapapanood na naman ako later kasi part 1 yung napanood ko kahapon. 

What a life. Not only here but almost everywhere, especially in the US. The bailout plan that they passed seems will work longer than expected. All the stock markets around the world are falling apart each day. Iceland may declare national bankruptcy due to what's happening in the credit crunch in the US. Good job! I think the US needs Obama and let's see if he will turn the tide. I know it will not give an instant effect but leadership is the answer for these kind of dark times. Obama's leadership may lead us something that the Bush admin can't do, proper management of resources for the good of all. Every country on earth relies so much in the US. The problem is if the US cannot sustain the growth, or what should we say, no more room for growth, the economy will stop, that's where recession kicks in. Recession starts and it will take some time and it depends what will the government do to move up. So whose to blame for all of this trouble? Hmmmm Many to point fingers at, like government, regulators like SEC's around the world, UN, even the big banks, they are falling!! Of course, US should be blamed the most. Is this the end? hehe I can't say that, but as law of economics and business, after this low trend, there will be a upward trend. But when will that happen? No one can predict that, even the richest tycoons in the world. All we need to do is to save money and do the right decisions. I hope those who have the authority will do the same. But here in this country? I don't think so. Our government should realize that they need to put the people first before themselves. ahahahaha  

Oh well, nothing's changed. Same ol' life. But I am also trying to pay all debts, as Colayco advised in one of his blogs. And save something for the usual expenses. Kagaya kanina, napabili ako ng NFA rice, and some stuff. I need to eat naman. hehe Hay naku, kailan ba matatapos tong problema. hehe Ok, I also remember, 19 days left before her birthday. I thought of, waiting. Waiting for a time that is right for me to pursue love. In my present situation, I am having a hard time not only meeting the one but also budget. Budget deficit. hehe Constrain I believe. Whatever, basta wala pa ko budget for that. Pero bahala na, ang pagmamahal naman, minsan dumadating na di mo inaasahan. Naks! hehe

Wala na ko maisip malagay, but I just hope, that all of us here will achieve the things we want and most importantly, we need. 

I am still kind of sleepy while writing this post. hehe Please bear with me. 

Time to go back to work. Time to read some stuff from Colayco. 

dark secrets

Aha! Yes, I am a simple person. I am a private individual, I am a quiet person, yet I am getting these kind of gossips, chismax and dark secrets for free. hehe Some of them well, revealed for good. Some of them are still in keeps. hehe Maybe my network is kinda working good. I should have my own intelligence agency. hehe anyway, yesterday, I was able to watch Daimos. Mukhang patapos na talaga this week ito. hehe Siyempre, napanood din ako ng Conan. After that, I planned to sleep up to lunch time, but I ended up raising at 9pm. Damn. I rushed here at work and well I am here. 

Despite not eating lunch and dinner, I am not hungry at the first part of the shift, but not when approaching my first break. I ate at my first break and that's it. I hope our CE is good today. Balik tayo sa mga sekreto. Di ko sasabihin siyempre ang mga sekretong alam ko. Baka magalit sa akin ang mga barkada ko. hehe Di ko alam kung bakit ko nalalaman mga ito. Pero ok lang, tatahimik lang ako at abangan ang susunod na kabanata. hehe Kaunti na lang naman ang mga sekretong yun kasi yun iba, naibulgar na. hehe Ang masasabi ko lang sa mga taong involved, is well let it out if it's good, and don't tell it if it's bad for your personality and profile. For me naman, I have some secrets, pero usually alam naman ng mga best friends ko, kaso kalat kalat naman. hahaha

One person knows this, then other person di alam pero may iba pa alam about me. So pag nagsama sila, magugulat sila. Parang nung birthday ko, nagulat sila nang malaman ang mga ibang sekreto ko, nung nagsama sama ng HS best friends and College best friends ko. hehe Kakatuwa lang, lalo na yun nagulat sila, parang unfair daw. haha Grabe yun stomach ko, parang nagloloko ha. Well, mabuti na yun ilabas lahat ng masama sa tiyan ko. Yuck. hehe

Nothing's changed, new or whatsoever. Despite all the troubles I am facing, I still have faith, hope and love. Naks, that is so serious. I am indeed serious in my life, it's just I need to lighten it up. 

Let's see what's in store to me tomorrow. Ciao!

a new week 2

I woke up on Monday morning at around 8:30am. Actually it should be 6:30am but I decided to post the hannah montana tarpaulin back and sleep again. I did it. For a while, no one is bothering my sleep. I woke up, and proceed right away of watching Daimos. hehe I believe Daimos will end this week. Do I have time to watch that? hehe After watching it, I went home already riding a bus from LP to Buendia and rode a FX to Examiner, to meet Joanne, the varsi editor. One of my best friends in college. The meeting time should be 12pm but I arrived at 12:30pm! If that was a date, I was dumped already. hehe Well I took a slower route than riding the MRT. It was stupid on my part. 

Nakarating sa wakas at siyempre, lunch ni Joanne yun kaya nakakain na siya. hehe So ako, umorder pa ng grilled fish meal na sobrang mahal na kaunti lang ang serving. Gusto ko sana back ribs kaso wala silang budget meal. By the way, it's Kenny Rogers yun meeting place namin sa Examiner. (Sct. Albano as described by Joanne) hehe It is true, the other side of the road is the end of Examiner street while the other side is the start of Sct. Albano street going to ABS-CBN. 

Well, the order arrived and ate a healthy lunch even in small serving. We talked about how she end up working in QC, travelling time, the birthday celebration yesterday, what happened to her and some things, and a bet. hehe A friendly bet. It is about the Shakey's in National Bookstore in Quezon Ave. The first meeting place that we should go is Shakey's since she is not into Jollibee. I gave her a choice between Jollibee and Shakey's. She told me Shakey's but she can't see it. I told her that it's only located in the entrance. Aba, wala na daw dun. Sabi ko, pano nangyari yun eh dati nandun lang yun, katabi ng entrance ng Jollibee. Tinext sa kin, wala daw siya makita, kundi Jollibee and Music One. Nagtaka ako, pero we agreed that we meet in Kenny na lang near sykes. Sabi ko sure, dun na lang sa may examiner. Sabi niya Sct. Albano, eh napaisip na naman ako, kasi sa Sykes isa lang naman ang Kenny at sa may tapat ng Ibank, which is now Unionbank. Well anyway, enough of the debate and I arrived there. I had a great time, and rain poured hard. We took a tricycle and guided her the streets there and in QC. As you see, umuuwi siya from Cavite ha. So, wala siya alam masyado dito sa QC. Sabi ko nga magrent siya dito noh. 

After lunch, well she was able to go back to work and while me, since it's raining hard, I rode a cab wayback home. It seems, that the first thing I've worked on is posting the blog for Saturday. Maybe I am addicted posting here. hehe Oh by the way, good thing that Jack is prepared for the arrival of her daughter within this month. Walter, I know you are reading, congrats to you and Jack in advance! Malayo yun hospital ha, San Juan De Dios. hehe Anyway, just inform us when that happen ok? It seems everything went right for this first day of a new week. A new dawn. However, the real test will show tomorrow if I will reach my targets here at work. I want to finish the action plan. hehe Oh well, that is life. Very ironic. Hay, kakapagod magsulat ng 3 blogs in one day. But it's really great to have something to write on about this life. Whether it's bad or good, I am still hoping that one day, everything will be normal. I shall rest my hands for today and write again tomorrow. The first blog for the same title was on July 21, 2008, for those who are wondering this is a sequel. hehehe

As days goes by, as I ride a jeep coming to work every night, I don't know why I am still in doubt. Confused or whatever feeling that makes me sad. Maybe, I am just worrying so much. I just thought, after today's shift, I will just sleep and rest. 

End of Blue Monday. By the way, I lost the bet, luckily, there is no money involve. There is no Shakey's now in that place. hehe 

hannah montana in my sleep

Ok, this will be short again. hehe Of course, I am not a Hannah Montana fan, it's just that the room I am sleeping with has a big tarpulin of Hannah Montana. Bad news, it keeps falling in my head even it is stick with many double sided tapes! hehe Peste, siyempre tinamad na ko idikit ulit sa wall ng pamangkin ko. Idol kasi ng pamangkin ko si Hannah Montana, at kitang kita naman nung nagbirthday niya! hehe I leave it while bothering me in my sleep and I posted it again on Monday morning. How did I end up sleeping in my niece small room? hehe

Ok, after the party of Rheg's brother I woke up around 7am. I fixed my things for Sunday's event in Festival Mall, no! Not the KC Concepcion autograph signing. hehe But Magzi's daughter first birthday in Pixie Forest. At first, I don't have a clue where is that, especially I am not so much familar with Festival Mall because I rarely go there. So I fixed my things, went to church at last and prayed, prayed and enjoyed the Sunday mass celebration. After going to church, I went right away to Post office and rode a FX going to SM Southmall. Dropping by at SM Southmall, I rode again a FX going to Festival Mall in Alabang. I still reminiscing those days living in LP and the most memorable moment there is the traffic. hehe 

I arrived at Festival Mall around 11 am. I thought Ross is there already, Ross is my former team mate in HSBC Alabang. Of course, I am eager to play Magic with him so I waited and he told me, he can't come at 11am. Siyempre wala pa siya, nagikot naman ako sa Festival Mall. Ikot ng ikot at parang wala naman ako pinasok na shop at nakita ko lang na may setting para kay KC. Kaso 5pm pa yun show, naisip ko na matagal ako nakatambay. hehe Anyway, so I waited, ate at Mongolian bowl. Speaking of Mongolian bowl, at first, I don't have a clue what will I eat since I haven't eaten breakfast at that time. So I just watched other patrons there. Actually I strolled a while to decide where to eat. I just curious and came back at Mongolian bowl. I looked at their menu and choose the single serve Mongolian bowl. I just copied what the others do, hehe but of course I chose the ones I want and waited for the food, while drinking the bottomless ice tea of course. 

Habang pumipili ako ng kakainin, di ko alam na iluluto yun mga pinili ko nung napansin ko na hilaw pa yun meat. hehe Pero ok lang, napili naman yun trip ko. Dapat pala sweet sauce yun pinili ko sa bowl kasi may mga sili na nilagay ko dun. Yun pinili ko kasi sweet and spicy, hahaha Kaya nung kinakain ko, panay kuha ako ng Ice tea, so buti na lang bottomless. At buti na lang single serve yun pinili ko kasi that time, I was thinking the eat all you can option, pero sa dami ng kinuha, buti na lang, tama na yun. hehe Sobrang busog at pinawisan pa ko. Letche talaga pero masarap. hehe Sulit kung baga. Sana matry ko yun sweet version next time, di ko lang alam, kung may branch sila here in QC or near QC. 

Si Ross, di na dumating kasi 1pm na wala pa. I went right away sa Dixie Forest which ilan beses ko na dinaanan, di naman ako naligaw kasi sinunod ko yun directory ng Festi Mall. Sa tarpaulin naman, nakalagay pa yun name ng anak ni Magzi so sure na to. hehe Good thing, nandun na si JP Dela Torre and his GF. Then the other persons who arrived, were Niña and her former classmates, Topel tapos ang huli si Orrin and GF. Masaya naman yun gathering kahit simple lang yun birthday. Actually sandali lang yun pinagsamahan namin kasi may mga lakad. Yun iba nga di na nakarating. hehe The children's party ended at around 4pm. The first plan after that is to go to Magzi's house and have a drinking session. However, Magzi has a lot to do, so we cancelled it and I walked with JP and GF to go at ATC. We walked from Festi to ATC and it's a long one but not tiring. We arrived at ATC and I went home already. Pero may nadiscover ako na gadget na magagamit ko in the future time. hehe Naipit ako sa SM Southmall kasi sa sobrang traffic kaya di ko makakalimutan ang LP. hehe 

Grabe, pero buti na lang, around 6pm eh nakarating na ko kina Ate Aila. Nood agad ako ng PBA. Sibak yun Air21 ko ng Welcoat. Malakas yun Welcoat, bwisit, tapos nagkalat pa yun Air21. hehe Pero yun second game, Alaska and SMB. Nung una, sobrang tambak, mga 19 points lamang ng SMB. Di ko na pinanood masyado kasi yun nga, tambakan pala. So I searched other channels, thanks to Sky Cable of Ate. I missed surfing channels in cable. I miss watching Hero and Animax, then HBO and Star Movies and some news channels and other channels. hehe Magulo no? Pero yun nga, kakamiss manood ng channels sa cable. After watching some movies, Jeopardy, The moment of truth, and other shows, I ended up at 12:30am. Siyempre, sabi ni Ate, sa kwarto ni Pristie na ko matulog. Ok na sana yun paghiga ko kaso nung nakatulog ako, parang may nakapatong na makati sa ulo ko, ayun si Hannah Montana ang katabi ko, yun malaking tarpaulin ni Pristie na kanyang idol. Di ko sure Idol at lalong di ko siyang trip. hehe si Kim Karshadian pwede, mayrun pala siyang secret ha. hehe Anyway, ayun that is the End of Sunday. Tiring yet a happy one.

wasak na upuan

Ok, this will be in a hurry! hehe I need to catch up I guess. Anyway, last Saturday, I slept 1pm but I was not able to go to church at 6pm, and Igz and Ian as well. I slept again and I wonder why I did not receive any messages even it's already 7:30pm. Especially, sila ang kasama ko! hehe So I reboot my cell at ayun, may mga text, late na dumating. Bwisit. hehe So I went na out sa party kina Rheg at ayun kaunti inom, maraming food at siyempre, di maiiwasan ang kantahan. Nakainom ako kahit kaunti, gin pomelo and 2 bottles of San Mig light. 

The next part is well, sometimes I hate, I really admit I have a bad singing voice so well I was forced to sing! hehe So ok fine, I sang my heart out and the song is Easy by Lionel Ritchie but I wish there is the version from Faith No More. While approaching at the end of the song, I am just leaning backwards, bumagsak ako bigla! Anak ng tokwa! Nasira pala yun upuan. Bad trip. Siyempre tawanan sila. Kakahiya, pero deadma lang ako, siguro talagang malas ako ng linggo na yun. 

Of course, I went on and my brothers are really laughing hard that they can't even sing the next songs. hehe Nandun pa si GF ni Ian, kakahiya talaga. I just finished drinking my San Mig Light. So after Rheg and Ian finished their love songs, naks, we decided to go out and well bring Ian to UERM for his duty. Internship kung baga kasi Med student nga siya di ba. hehe 

They are still talking about what happenned and they could not believe it. Napansin sila na tahimik ako at walang imik for the whole night until that happen. Kala nila may problema ako, pero oo mayrun, pero di dahil dun. Talagang inaantok pa ko. We make hatid to GF of Ian and Ian as well to UERM. Sobrang pagod si Ian na di nga namin siya nakausap nung nasa Trooper kami, hehe. After that, we went to Mister Kabab, na kala namin may Aircon na pero wala pa. They haven't change their prices so good job!

Of course, we ordered our all time fave, keema with eggplant and season low 7 breads. Si Iggie nga, 2 bread lang kinain, career low bro! Ang career high naman niya is 6 eh. hehe Kami din ni Rheg, mukhang career low na din, 2 and a half breads lang kinain namin. On top of that, nag fruit shake naman kami. hehe Siguro nung kinuwento ko ang chismax, nawalan sila ng gana kumain pa. bwahahahahaha!!!! Pero sa totoo lang, dami na kasi ang kinain namin nung na kay Rheg pa kami, nag crispy pata and barbeque, and inom pa so medyo busog kami. After that good talk about confusion, love and happiness and coming out! hehe Pero wala sa min yun, sa ibang person yun tinutukoy namin. We went home safe and sound, I was able to sleep at around 2:45am. 

End of Saturday.

bloody week

I hope this is the last day where mistakes, misfortunes and unforseen events end! hehehe Yesterday, well, I went to the doctor and he is not there. I need to return tomorrow to put back the nose pad of my glasses. Payday? It's bill day. hehe I went home, buy some stuff and good thing, it's the birthday of Ate Jenny, wife of Kuya Alpro, we ate a lot. hehe Happy birthday! So I slept for a while, woke up because I don't want to miss the food, especially the sweet banana made by Mommy. hehe Then Jeleane ask if she can use the computer, of course I opened the computer, and then, misfortune strikes. The keyboard I bought 3 weeks ago, starting to go crazy. I mean, the letter N key doesn't work but it types itself! What the heck, some letters as well are going nuts! I tried to unplug it from the PS/2 slot and plug it again but damn, it still did not work. Good thing, Kuya Allan was able to keep the very old keyboard. So that's it, Jeleane was able to use it so the 1 week warranty of the new keyboard run out, meaning no exchange. Meaning that I won't buy a keyboard from CD-R king, especially for the cheaper ones. The keyboard I bought, was one of the expensive kinds they have, so I don't trust their cheaper ones. hehe Sometimes, a branded product is still the preferred one when it comes to quality. But sometimes, other brands work too for a cheaper price. But not in my keyboard. hehe Ah damn, I hate this, now I am going to search again for a good keyboard.

So for the whole course of the week ended up bad. Talagang malas, minalas at ayun nadale. Hay naku, sana sa susunod na linggo, buenasin naman kahit kaunti lang Diyos ko. hehe Yun lang, di naman talagang bad trip, kakaasar lang. Oo nga pala, so mamaya yun handaan kina Rheg para sa kapatid niya at siyempre magkakasama kaming 4, pero walang chicks. hehe Sayang di sila pwede. Malas na naman. Naniniwala ba ako sa pamahiin? Di naman, mas naniwala ako sa pananampalataya ko. hehe Pero yun ibang pamahiin or whatever, tumatama ha, pero it won't stop me for what I believe.

Let's move forward at sana matapos na to mamaya. hehe Sa Linggo, siyempre, nasabihin ko na si Ate na sa URCI ako matutulog after ng handaan kina Magzi. Pano kaya ako makakablog. hehe Babawi na lang ako next week. Speaking of paano, nakalimutan ko na naman yun pinapagawa sa kin ni Iggie, sorry bro, promise this coming week tatapusin ko na. hehe Wala na ko inexpect sa gathering later kasi same issues na naman pero masaya naman kahit papano. Laglagan na naman ito. hehe

About what I wrote yesterday, well it gave me some relief but I think I need some help, a different kind of help, like releasing the tension in my life. I can't have psychological sessions with Rheg! It will be a waste of time! haha Sorry bro. Pero siguro yun ginawa ko last year, yung ganun session, parang maganda eh. Ask ko nga next week kung mayrun dito sa work. hehe

Sa Linggo, malamang kamustahan na naman at inuman na naman. Naisip ko pala, baka buhay wasak naman ako ng dalawang araw kasi may inuman din kina Rheg eh. Anak ng tinapa naman oh. Yun na nga iniiwasan ko eh! hehe Letche naman! Basta wag lang sa bellevue, wanted ako dun. hehe Oi Walter, alam ko nagbabasa ka, kamusta na pala si Jack? Manganganak na ba siya? hehe Congrats ha. Hay, iba talaga ang feeling pag may anak ka na. Hmmmmm I hope that if I will have a family in the future, I will just make sure, that my family is intact and happy. To avoid what happened before, in my family.

Oh, I was able to check some of my blogs, siguro, I need to QA na nga. Since mabilis naman ako magtype, I will just check my blog first before I post it. Sana naman masunod ko to. hehe

Power, Corruption and Lies, those 3 things really come together in this cruel world.

locked up

Oh well, you won't believe this. hehe I was able to go home early and done somethings, watched Daimos and Conan. Tried to sleep but I ate lunch first, then fell asleep. hehe And then, I tried to wake up around 4pm, but alas, I did not work. So I woke up at around 8:50pm and take a bath to our 2nd floor bathroom. Dad referred it and Kuya advised me to use it, so I did, since I am in a hurry. After a cool and good bath with no worries of dripping water below, in the clean kitchen to be exact, hehe. This happened before and it causes some problems in the ceiling of clean kitchen below. Good thing, Kuya Allan was able to hire a carpenter to fix some ceilings, wirings as well and other fixtures.

Edi yun na, nakaligo na ko at nang palabas na ko, ayaw bumukas! Bad trip pinilit ko ikutin yun knob at banggain yun pinto pero ayaw talaga. Siyempre, sumigaw na ko sa banyo at buti naman narinig ni Kuya Allan at sinimulan sirain ang pinto. hehe At that time, I was nervous because of course, I can't be absent or late for work. Damn, I was really kind of thinking, what time is it or Am I late or what. After 30 mins, nabukas ang pinto, wasak siyempre. hehe Pero pwede pa naman lagyan ng bagong door knob. Kaya mukhang sa susunod sa baba na lang ako maliligo, malas ata ako sa banyo na yun. hehe

Oh well, that's the story last night. I am lucky to go to work on time. Nothings changed, except for my glasses which it has a part missing, so later after shift, I need to have it fixed by the doctor who gave me this glasses. I post it later. hehe So payday today and well, I already thought were will the funds going to. hehe That's it. Nothing else. The bailout of the US gov't is not really the solution to their financial crisis. Oh, I'm sorry, our financial crisis. As you see, it's a domino effect that soon, will affect our economy due to the investment done by banks, big companies, even exports and imports as well. The bailout plan by the US gov't, is I think a short term solution, but how about the long term effects? What if banks was not able to hold these bad mortgages or credits? What if the people can't pay these debts in the long run, like me? hahaha What if the government run out of money to hold on these debts? Especially the US, which is the largest lender of the world, yet they have the largest reserves as well. One analyst said, that the "Casino Strategy" or mentality of most US financial institutions paid the price to arrive this kind of effect. I believe, most of us, will have a good Christmas this coming December.

Anyway, that is how money works, especially if you can't really use it wisely. hehe It affects not only you, but the whole economy. I read some lines in a book, about hiding or letting out your feelings. Hmmm, it struck me because maybe I am in that situation. Maybe I need psych help like last year. hehe For me, it helped me a lot, but it was cut short because I left HSBC. I don't what kind of feelings what I have now, that "I don't know" phrase really bothers me, but not that much. I am just curious. The feelings I have, mixed feelings like happiness, love, hate, boredom, sadness and whatever, hehe But I hope I can just think straight and hope for the very best. End all misery..

Now the plans for this coming week, hmmmm I just hope for the best, for all of us, my family, friends, special friends and team. hehe That's all, lets what's coming today.
