Bomber Article

Too many things to do in a very, very short period of time.
Adrenaline is totally pumping up.
Bomber.

There really is nothing to blog about lately.

Work actually eats most of my time now. And at 9PM, from Monday to Friday, I see to it that I am all ready to sleep. I wake up at 5:30 everyday and I cannot afford to stay groggy the next day after not getting enough sleep. (I think I have repeatedly blogged about my 'adjusted body clock'.) Even YKW cannot believe that I now sleep at 9. YKW always tells me that I have changed. I used to complain why he had to sleep early, or why he was already sleepy at that hour. Now, I know and fully understand why.

Anyway, wala naman talaga ako sasabihen. Narinig ko sa Magic kanina, "It's Friday payday everyone. Happy weekend!"... Naisip ko, happy weekend ka dyan... I have work still tomorrow noh! Speaking of kanina, nakasabay ko sa EDSA si YKW. Wala lang. :-)

SKL, namimiss ko na ang mga friends ko. =( Sana next time makasama nako sa kanila. I think it's time to reload my 'happy thoughts'...

Whatever Happened to YKW?

Well, YKW has lately been making his presence felt. But then again, YKW was like this before he suddenly disappeared. Ika nga ni Belinda Bright (that sexy star). I have 'kwangs' (qualms) still.
Dear God, if manggagagu lang po si YKW, take him away please. While it's still early. Thank you.

Nagmamaganda Lang

I want press people! I want print ads! I want noise! Ads everywhere!
There!

Segue to Hot Bites

Haha, segue to Hot Bites, I also miss taking home that siomai in Mini-Stop and that chocolate polvoron I always have for dessert during lunch. And I miss my lunchmates too. And the pantry. (And Shali, that guard). Hayy... there are so many things I miss actually (hehe, hindi pa pala tapos mag-emote).

Anyway, update lang, tomorrow is my dry-run already for this event and well, my boss, has been out since this afternoon and there are so many things he has to approve still for this event. Tapos, I have to have all the streamers printed by Friday so we can set them up already. Monday is the big event and of course who would want to set up the booth on a weekend? Ikaw gusto mo ba 'yun??? Ayoko non e. (which reminds of this Mancom meeting this Saturday)

PLus, I already have plans for this weekend. Una, my evil stepsister Poang Panget, is already in Mindoro. Meaning, no one would anymore take care of the grocery. And I have this feeling that this responsibility will be turned over to Japanice. After all, my two evil sibs have classes on weekends. Fun!

Ohh those freaking hot bites!

One of the things that I miss most in my previous employer is Brother's Burger. And for that, let me say hullo, hullo to my 'co-valued customers' of the mentioned food chain-- to my all-time lunch partner, Candice; to Ms. Mirs and of course to Moby. So yun nga, I miss this fffrrreeaakking BB! My favorite of course is their Hot Bites meal with mayo! Ohhh la la la! And by the way, I also love their french fries and onion rings with mayo again!

Suddenly I feel like dropping by to the Loop later...

I wanna be supreme & kicking!

One hour to go...

Today, I feel like hiding inside my closet until August 13 or can I extend it until next year so this will be (again) my past?

Just feel so ignorant today. I am not contributing at all to this event we will have on Monday. What is wrong with me? I cannot say that my gestation period isnt over yet. Been here for three weeks already. I dont want to blame the technical aspect of it... Maybe this is always like this when it's your first time- you have absolutely no idea.

I just hope God will be good to me and help me get through this supreme and kicking!

Movie For The Weekend!

Great movie!
If you want something feel-good but not mushy nor corny, 13 Going on 30 is the movie for you! Hilarious and happy and sweet. It even made me cry. (For the record, I never cry when watching movies. But with this one, hehe, I did.)

I saw the movie on DVD last night. BG: It's the story of a 13-year-old teenage girl who wanted it so badly to be Thirty, Flirty and Thriving since she wasn't that cool enough to fit in. As the title went, she got her wish and woke up as the beautiful Jennifer Garner- the thirty-year-old powerful, bitchy, and cool magazine editor. And let me just add, Jennifer was great portraying the role. Totally different from her butt-kicking roles!

Watch it!

Another YKW Story

It's Sunday once again. Ang saya. =)
And you know what made my Sunday happier?

YKW.

Yep. It's YKW. He dropped by at my place this afternoon. He didnt stay long because he had to go to Greenhills with his sister but it's ok.

What now? Just like before. Talk. Talk. Eat. Laugh. Talk more. Laugh again. Eat. Talk. Eat. Laugh.

Hope you will all have a great week ahead. Here's to us... :-)

Self-Discretion is Advised

I had the most wonderful coffee session last night with Bonita Bonita. She is definitely the best. :-)

Anyway, anyway, I am now in the process of 'cleansing'. From this moment on, I WILL TRY to lessen saying foul words like... well... can't say. Basta, Bonita Bonita said, it's a turn-off and I remember my Omama saying, "It's very unbecoming for a woman like you". Prim and proper. Reduced 'kabaklaan'. Maybe it is now time to be a real gurl to find the real man (Hahahaha. Super corny!)

SKL, JK Rowling, author of bestseller Harry Potter, had already announced the title of Harry Potter Book 6- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I wanna go to JK Rowling's site!

Wallpapers, Etc.

Nahihilo ako... =(

Anyway, what do you think of this photo?



If you think this is oh-so-freaking-fantaaabulousss, click me for more!

It's TGIF for all of you I'm sure, mais pour moi , nopey nope nope! One more day... and THANK GOD IT'S SATURDAY!

Tulog, tulog, lamon, tulog, lamon, chika, tulogggg!!!

Oyst Geisha!

Oyst Geisha!

This is your SUPEREGO speaking. Let me quote Rob Schneider in Hot Chick : Don't you get the gravity of the situation here??? You are supposed to work right this very minute. Pero ba't ka nagblo-blog? Geisha, your dry-run's on Monday and tomorrow is Friday already. Where is your sense of urgency? Try to work please. No more shitting girl.

Go! Go! Go!

Binabati Ko...

Gusto ko lang batiin ng magandang hapon ang aking mga suki!

Si Net-Net at Ponga!

Hi! Kumusta kayo diyan?! (ala regular viewer seen on TV)

Added Info

But wait, aint done yet, YKW + Geisha= Edongs.
I feel great now..

Sabado Na Po Ba?

Lord, Sabado, 12:01PM, na po ba? Oh Lord, please say, 'Yes, my child.'

Anyway, yesterday was my longest day here in my new work. And the most stupid/LAMENTABLE day as well. First, I should have brought the car in BIR yesterday when I had the presentation there (para derecho uwi na). I should have incorporated the print application of blackberry in our concept paper. I should have asked MDi people if BBB (BIR Big Boss)comes on time so I wouldnt have to worry if I am late or not. BBB by the way devoutly follows Filipino time. Good thing BBB was nice. Pagong lang talaga. I should have dealt withthis BIR event earlier. Dry-Run's on Monday and pota men, I havent started on anything yet!

But I did not end my day feeling oh-so sorry that I had to go back to Makati and get the car (cant believe i can be THIS stupid). I had coffee and maki with bestest guy friend. As always, HE was hilarious. =) Definitely the way to go to end this day.

Thankful

There was a good Samaritan yesterday in MRT. Someone offered his seat for me. I was touched, then I said, 'Salamat'. But I dont think he heard me because the second he stood up and offered his seat, he immediately turned his back towards me. Well, salamat ulit. ;) Sometimes I cannot help but be thankful that God made me become a girl. Thanks din po Lord. :-)

Then, as soon as I got out of the train, there was the smell of newly-cooked peanuts! Some sidewalk vendor was selling peanuts. I have always wanted to buy 'mani' from this guy but my ever 'maselan' Ate Jo would always tell me, 'Sa bahay ka na lang kumain. Baka madumi yan'. But I wasnt with Ate Jo yesterday, kaya, (yes!!!), bumili ako ng mani! Ang sarraaaapppp!!!

One-Woman Team

Japanice reading: "IronPort C-Series: Powering and protecting Business Email. Provides advanced threat prevention, block spam and viruses, and enable corporate email policy enforcement"

And I am supposed to come up with a concept for this...
This IronPort is soon to be launched. Hmmm... ano kayang magandang gimmick? Gusto ko iba naman, chaka dapat bongga at hindi boring. Hmmm... And let's take into consideration na ang audience natin for this event ay mga CEOs, IT bosses; those guys who fall under the 30-40 box.

Ano kayang ok? Pati pala give-aways, isipin ko rin kung ano. Do you think jackets are super galante or ok lang? Brochures pa... ano kayang magandang emote?

Thinkathon.. thinkathon..

I Love Sundays!

Since I also have to work on Saturdays, I begin to love Sundays! Before, Sunday was my warming-up day. It was my most dreaded day of the week. Sunday comes before Monday, the hellish day of all. Anyway, un nga, I now love Sundays! It's my only time to rest and the time where I squeeze all the things that are supposed to be done on a Saturday (like shopping, movies, etc.).

And now that today is a Sunday, I see to it that I will be able to catch Amazing Race again on AXN. And luckily, I did!

I know, i know this is a re-run already. But I just have no choice, dear! I wake up at 530 am every weekdays and have to be in bed by 9pm.

Right now, I just want to say that the bowling moms are a pain in the ass! Nakakainis sila when they sort of fooled the tandem I'm rooting- Jim and Marsha. And kinarma ang mga bowling moms! They had to quit walking the dogs because of utter stupidity in directions and even justified their stupidity when they couldnt recognize the faces of the "Tango" dancers! They finished fourth while Jim and Marsha finished third! Karma rules!

On the local entertainment news, can I just say that "Rock Idol" Michael Cruz, that Star in a Million finalist, is totally the man??! Total performer at suuuppperrr gusto ko ng choice of songs niya! Sana siya ang manalo! He's got spunk!

To Poang P.

My sister has recently resigned from her job. Well, her previous job was quite a catch. Folks were kinda shocked when they found it out. But then again, it was my sister's decision to make. Poang P. has other plans in her life. To bake, to sell her cakes, and to go back to Mindoro and help our dad in the family business.
 
To Poang P., Piningpine, Ebuweng and Panis will surely miss you. Tatahimik na ang Filinvest neighborhood. Wala ng matagal sa banyo. Wala ng katabi sa kama si Piningpine at Panis at dahil dyan, maluwag na sa kama! Wala ng maga-aero tuwing Sunday morning. Wala ng magulo sa kusina especially when baking her goodies. Wala ng takot sa ipis at kung anu-anong insekto. Mawawalan ng isang valid customer ang SM Fairview. Kulang na ang POWERHOUSE.
 
Well to you mah evil stepsistah, good luck! Alam ko naman na gusto mo lang gawin ang gusto mong gawin. (Nyak, parang ang labo. Wag na nga lang ako mag-emote!) Super mamimiss ka namin! Take care Poang Panget!

P10 Increase in MRT Fare

Gedemet!
This Lastimoso guy is pushing his proposal to increase the MRT fare!
Click me to read news.
So my P13 MRT fare will be P23???? Tapos nakatayo ako the entire trip? My goolah!

She is a Dyosa

I thought I have already escaped the pangs of seeing a "mahal na birhen" and a "dyosa". But of course, in every place ata, may dyosa who thinks she is the only Son of God.

I just met this goddess moments ago. Man, she is the worst! I have met goddesses already but they are tolerable. You can even fake a smile when you bump into them. But this dyosa I have recently met, hoh noh, i repeat, she is the worst. Ok lang sana if she is too damn good looking but (I'm sorry dear God, this is a supporting text) she really isn't...

Why does she fall under my Dyosa list? She was yelling like a mad woman in her room! She was talking to this girl on the other line and there, she was fuming mad! Everybody can hear her and we were all like, "what's her prob??". There are people who's working here too, you know. She is DEFINITELY the worst.

YKW Part 4

Sigh.
I don't get YKW. And I am not sure at all if YKW understands me.
Just sad. Bakit kaya siya ganon? Bakit kaya ganito? I've got so many questions but I cannot just blurt them out to YKW. You think I won't bother anymore and just get on with my own business?

A.D.C.

Do you think Angelo Dela Cruz will be beheaded? I really hope not.
But some Bulgarian who was working in Iraq was beheaded.
What's the chance of Dela Cruz?

Oh Babeh, babeh, babeh... My babeh, babeh...

Yeah, yeah. Tis a bit (a bit?) late. The fever is all over. But whaddaheck?
Anyway, I am really no fan of these hunkababes, but this picture really, as in REEAALLLY, is a yelling ooohh la la!!! (wipes drool)

Vanity

This is my first time to see a pink mirror on some guy's desk.
Way to go! I commend you for your vanity! Welcome to my club!

Uma Fan

I love Uma!!!

How to Stay Sane When Caught in a Jam

~currently listening to Hilary Duff's So Yesterday

Now that I have changed routes, I actually spend more time on the road. Alone. One and a half hours. Because of that, my habit of spotting cars that are coding has become stronger. When I see one, wala lang, ang saya lang. But when there is nothing else to do and no single car violates the color coding scheme, that is when i consider my other options to staying 'vibrant' even when I'm stuck in EDSA:
1. Ask the driver if I can change the dial (that is, if I am in front).
2. Tinker phone. Most of the time steal some shots of the passengers either sleeping or just looking outside blankly.
3. Sleep. (Actually, I am daydreaming like the other passengers.)
4. Wait 'til I get to Guadalupe. Catch a glimpse of that F4/Yamaha billboard. Oh la la.
5. I tried reading but big no-no. Sasakit lang ulo mo.
6. I mentally check what is inside my closet that I haven't worn to work yet.
7. Pray. This is the best moment to converse with God.
8. Think of happy thoughts. And pray that your favorite song will play on-air para mas maganda ang pag-eemote mo.
9. Your brain cells must be fed at all times. They need oxygen. If not, you'll get irritated. So munch! munch! munch!
10. Tinker your phone again. If you don't have a phone with you, well, sorry, you've got to sit patiently there and wait until you get to Makati.

A Comparative Analysis

For the sole purpose of feeding Japanice's curiosity.

Before, Japanice used to wake up at 8 am, leave the house at 915 and arrive at ABSCBN at aound 945. Her life/work started at 10am.
Now, Japanice has to wake up at 5am, leave the house at 645 to beat the hellish traffic in EDSA and arrive at MDi at around 815. Her life/work starts now at 830 am.
Before, at 830, Japanice was still choosing what clothes to wear while brushing her teeth. BIG change. Gestation period sets in.

Before, Japanice produced concepts for text gimmicks. Now, Japanice thinks of concepts/USP (unique selling proposition)/marketing strategies for events and company's services.

Before, Japanice could wear jeans and favorite sneakers on Mondays. Now, Japanice has to buy a whole lotta slacks and skirts and closed shoes! Japanice cannot anymore wear jeans and favorite sneakers on Mondays. She can, but only on Fridays and Saturdays. Because of this, Japanice now plasters her feet with tons of band-aids. Power walk is the thing here also. Poor happy feet.

Japanice filed OT when she had to work on a Saturday. Now, Japanice is on the verge of accepting the truth that Saturdays are a regular working day. So long Friday late night outs. Hullo Hullo Saturday Nights! =)

Hmm.. so far these are only the things Japanice has noticed. She will definitely be posting more soon.

TG Day Today & Some You-Know-Who Updates

Yep, today is a TG Day. Tiis-Ganda Day.
My feet hurt. It's because of this stupid shoes. Well, this stupid shoes is the only shoes that goes well with my outfit today. Kaya konting tiis lang. Ive got lots and lots of band-aids hidden inside this stupid shoes. Konting tiis na lang at uwian na. Worse, I dont know where exactly it hurts!
I think I have to put more.

On another note, You-Know-Who said he was sorry if ever he did something wrong because "hindi daw nya alam kung saan siya lulugar". Oh brother, I would loovee to settle everything if you want to... Let's not kill each other please.

A.R. Virgin

I chanced upon Amazing Race this morning in AXN. Since I didn’t have anything to do, and I did not feel like talking to anybody, I went back to bed and watched it.

I am no fan of Amazing Race. I got tired of watching these reality shows after religiously following the Survivor Series. But since today is a Sunday and there’s nothing much to do, I gave A.R. a chance.

And I loooveeddd it! Especially the last part where the pair who’s gonna make it last to the pit stop would be eliminated. I am rooting for Jim and Marsha, the father/daughter tandem. I got a bit of worried when Jim had to rush to the E.R. for his knee. I thought they wouldn’t make it to their flight. And I thought they would be the ones eliminated! I will just feel bad if they would be eliminated. I have a thing for military dads taking their daughters to these kinds of things. That’s why I hope they’d make it!

Who will be next eliminated? I hope it’s the twins.

You-Know-WhoPhobic III

You said, “sorry if I did something wrong”. Sometimes I doubt if he knows what I really feel.. The thought saddens me.

That Mom

I intently read someone's text message yesterday.
I was riding the MRT and there was this middle-aged woman who was texting. Out of curiousity, I looked down at her phone and started reading.
The woman happened to be an OFW who had just finished settling some documents. I think she would be returning to Israel already (the plastic envelope she was clutching had an "israel" word on it).
Her text went like this: "Next Wednesday na ang alis namin. Hindi ko na isasama ang mga bata. Lalo lang ako malulungkot. Ang hirap. Ganito pala."
Then, she sent it to Ate Fe.
Ate Fe, I think, was her sister.
I looked at the woman's face. She was a mommy who had to fly to Israel to work. And maybe, her husband would go with her or some of her colleagues. Maybe she wouldnt want her kids to bring her to the airport because it would only depress her more. She looked sad. She was looking outside and right then and there, I was hoping I could read her mind.
I wasnt able to read Ate Fe's reply. Her phone beeped but I dont think she heard it. I wanted to tell her that her phone beeped so she (and I) could read Ate Fe's reply. But of course, I didnt do it.
Happy weekend everyone.

You-Know-WhoPhobic Part II

I am scared of You-Know-Who. But I still give You-Know-Who my time. I answer You-Know-Who’s calls and text messages. I laughed when You-Know-Who wanted to only wear yellow chaleco to work. You-Know-Who is funny without even trying. Pero, You-Know-Who still gives me the creeps sometimes.
I will never know after all.

Hear Ye!

I missed my blog.
Anyway, I am presently doing my warm-ups. Just getting ready for my new job in this ICT company. Good luck to me.

Pera Talk

Hmmm, just a thought. Is the P20 bill you are holding now the P20 bill you were holding last week? Last month? Yesterday?
I would really love to know if this is the second or third or the nth time I am holding this P20 bill.
Crazy idea- I will mark the money I will spend later. I really want to see if I will be able to get hold of this again.

Cool Chews

Mentos Cool Chews is not at all cool. Ang bilis nilang matunaw. Hindi mo pa sila nana-namnam, tunaw na pala sila. Isang nguya mo pa lang, wala na agad siya. Bomber.

2:27 PM.

As much as I want to do something and make myself real productive, I JUST CAN’T.
This is one of the dull moments where you prefer talking to your hand than to anybody else. This is one of the dull moments where head is absolutely not over the matter. This is one of the dull moments where you just want to lie down and watch Sine Klasiks. Yeah, this is one of those moments.

Gerry, Dan, Moby

To Gerry, Dan and Moby- I had fun last night. Thanks so much. You were all so funny! =)
And to Gerry, I will play ball now. I just thought of what you've told me last night. =)
Anyway, I hope to have some laughs with you again real soon!
Salamat ulit!
Mamimiss ko kayo mga tsong!

Ja (pa) nice

Well, I guess this is it.
Tomorrow is my last day here in ABSi. Now that it IS now here, I cannot help but get a lil bit of emotional…
I will definitely miss everyone. I hope I will bump into them somewhere.
For easy reading, I decided to bullet some of my ABSi thinkathon.
1. I bought a prepaid card with my first pay.
2. I valet parked everyday because I didn’t know how to get in the basement parking.
3. I didn’t have any idea what Dreamweaver and LeechFTP were. I never had the chance to master them.
4. On my first day, I was wearing black heels, black slacks and my favorite white blouse.
5. Lunchbreak is the best therapy for a cancelled project. Moby and Jovan as appetizers, main course, and desserts!
6. The Micorwave, I mean Microwave.
7. On my first day, Candice’s first question was “Do you have a boyfriend?”
8. CLK Updates (stats, stats, stats)
9. I transferred to 3 different cubicles. Pang-alis daw ng malas. Naniwala naman ako.
10. On my first day, Ms. C told me I could go home already… at 2PM. Wish it’s still possible now.
11. Those Monday nights at Whoosh with the Powerhouse.
12. Celebrities were like wallflowers for me but deep inside I wanna scream, “Si _____!”

Super dami nito. Basta right now, I do not at all feel good. It’s just that it’s hard to leave something so beautiful. But this has to be done because Janice has other plans and not because Janice gets comfortable with something already doesn’t mean Janice will be contented and keep it kewl. Janice explores. Janice wants to try a LOT of things. And that’s what Janice is going to do even if the thought kills her inside. It’s saddening. It's scary and Janice doesnt even want to talk about it.
