Meeting up with My Oldest Girlfriends

I can't believe this is actually happening! I'm prepping to go out and mett up with two of oldest gal pals, Tessa and Maia. We haven't seen each others in probably 8 to 10 fucking years and now here we are! I'm soooooooo elated!!! Things are really getting better and better...!!!

Love This Day!

Millie and I should be in Iloilo today for a 3-day adventure. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a leave since I just transferred to another account/department and I'm the ony QA there. We're still in transition so everything is pretty critical. Fortunately, a lot of things went my way today, so I don't really feel bad about not being in Iloilo.

To start off, my day at work was very productive. I was very surprised at the amount of work I was able to accomplish today, actually.

I also got my Starbucks Planner today. Yeah, I know it's not as pretty as the older ones, but heck! Starbucks and I have this thing. Let's just say, I have their giant tumbler and their body bag and I never missed a planner. *Wink*

After work -- now, that's when I had the most fun. I have this new buddy at work, Z and we went to Timezone in Megamall. We were pretty pleased that our hundred bucks (each) got us farther than we expected. We probably played for an hour and a half or so. I think our arms will really hurt tomorrow. We played this new game, Rambo, basketball, Daytona2, Guitar/Drum Mania, Dance Mania something -- it was like doing a cardio workout! Hehehe! Oh and by the way, we also saw the rock legend, Pepe Smith. I teased Z about taking his picture with Pepe Smith. I think that's a really dorky thing to do! Hahaha!

After he left, I still stayed to wander around and do a bit of errands. I saw the Scale Model Competition where I intend to bring my wife on Thursday. At around 5PM, I finally decided to call it a day. Amazingly, the shuttle service going my way was already starting to get filled with passengers. At only Php40, I was home around 6PM, which was relatively quick considering the 5PM rush.

So there, another happy day for me. Can't wait to have more fun tomorrow. I'm thinking of going to Toy Kingdom next time. Hehehe! =) My life just seems to get better and better everyday... =)

Sorta like a four-day weekend

I sort of had a 4-day weekend this week. We had 'Spa Thursday' and watched the finale of TARA3, which only broke my heart but because neither one of the teams that I like won. Friday, Millie and I went on a date. We had dinner at Dad's (we missed their buffet!) and ended up watching 'Burn After Reading' instead of 'The Women.' Yesterday, I spent the day cleaning our room, which I haven't finished doing, by the way, but it's cool because I'm planning to do some changes, which I think would take a bit of time. And now, well, today was really boring because I woke up with the meanest headache and Millie has one too, so she skipped worked today to rest. It's probably the weather again because it's warmer today than it was yesterday. Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm ready for another big work week tomorrow. I feel tired and my headache hasn't really gone away. Ugh! This sucks! Oh well, that's me this weekend... Totally looking forward to the next one.

What I Love About Change

I recently went through several changes in my life. I stepped outside my comfort zone and left my beloved VB family to pursue my one true love -- Quality -- even it means being alone to join a new team. I've been blest since then... I found new friends who are not only great to work with, but who are also fun to be with when we're not agents, coaches, QAs, trainers or OMs. They made me feel right at home, especially when I'm missing my VB family. It's kind of creepy sometimes how I see my VB family in my new DS team.

In spite of my schedule being terribly early at 3AM, and now at 5AM, I'm finding a lot of things that I can do that's making me happier each day. Because I get off work early in the afternoon, I've been able to spend time in malls -- doing errands and practically just wandering around, with a bit of shopping here and there. I also get to go on dates with my Mom and Dad. I especially love spending time with my Dad while he works -- like checking on the stores, buying construction supplies -- brings back memories of my childhood. I love our silly conversations during the ride, how we will laugh so hard over the most senseless ideas and the corniest jokes until we're teary-eyed and coughing. I also love it when my Mom treats me like a kid, buying me food or scolding me for the silly things I do. I can't believe these things are still happening at my age!

Though Millie and I only get to spend a few hours a week together, I love how we plan the times we'll be together and end up breaking them. It is as if we've become more spontaneous and just go with the flow. I love that I get to go online and download music or read about stuff I won't normally have time to read about and well, write blog entries to share my thoughts to the world, regardless if anyone is interested. As weird as it may sound, I sometimes feel like I'm a student again -- taking public transport and making stopovers to buy isaw or pritong leeg ng manok or pares. Everyday has become an adventure for me.

Times like these, I can't help but be in awe at how amazing life can be -- always full of lovely surprises that are waiting to be discovered as long as you're willing to take a plunge to the unknown every once in a while...

Can Hardly Wait

I'll be seeing my beloved VB family this coming Friday and I'm so excited!!!

Tomorrow, Millie and I are planning to have a spa evening, afterwhich we'll be watching the finale of TARA3 (Go Geoff and Tish!). On Friday, we're finally pushing through with our movie date and of course, we're going to the much-awaited VB ResFest!!! Yahooooooo!!! \o/ \o/ \o/

Stupid Mistake of the Day

I said the wrong thing to the jeepyney driver and got off the wrong stop. I then ended up on the wrong side of the bridge so I had to walk such a fucking distance. I may have traversed the entire stretch of A. Rodriguez Avenue from Rosario to Ligaya -- or at least it felt like it -- just to get a ride toward the correct route.

After two hours from leaving the office, I finally made it home extremely exhausted. I pigged out and now I'm bitching about it. In an hour or so I'd be hitting the sack, afterwhich I'll be waking up in 6hrs to prepare myself for another shift at work. 9hrs after logging in, I'd once again figure out a way to get home if no one's going to get me. By then, I certainly hope I've learned and not do this stupid thing again. F*cker!

If I Say Goodbye

Will I ever really mean it?
Will you let me go?
Will it be my biggest mistake?
Will it be the biggest favor I'd do for myself?
Will it hurt?
Will I get over it?
Will it change me?
Will it change your mind?
Will I regret it?
Will you celebrate?
Will you cry?
Will you care?
Will I really say goodbye?

Weekend's Over

Unbelievable! It's almost 6PM again, which means I have to sleep for my Monday morning shift at 5AM. Oh well, can't complain. My weekend was fun. I attended the International Roming Launch on Friday, had great fun prepping for the party with my friend, Z, and still had time to watch a couple of Queer As Folk episodes with my wife. Saturday, I spent doing some errands and buying some of my favorite food -- peachy-peachy, microwavable popcorn, beef pares and isaw! My wife and I then continued our QAF marathon with yummy popcorn and ice cold iced tea. Today, I woke up late, and spent the afternoon organizing my iTunes playlists for my would-be iPod. Could be better with a massage, but I find that it's a bit late, plus I've already spent my spa money on all the junk food yesterday. Hehehe! Nonetheless, I think I'm ready for another crazy work week ahead!

My Epiphany Along Pioneer Street

Nakakatawa
Bigla ka na lang naalala
Dahil siguro sa lugar
Mangyari ay medyo pamilyar
Paano nga kaya
Kung biglang magkita?
Kunyaring hindi ka kilala
Magpapanggap pa nga ba?
Iba na ako ngayon
Pero pareho pa rin ng noon
Sa ilang taong lumipas
Natapos rin sa wakas
Yamot, galit, panghihinayang
Ikaw lahat ang sumayang
Wala na tayong babalikan
Walang kapatid, walang kaibigan

Excited

I've been preparing for this. Finally, it's all about me and what I want. I can hardly wait!!! Things are bound to change... I'm so f*cking ready!!!

I have a new thing

I have a new thing...

My new thing is all about trying new things. This week, I've been crazy downloading relaxation music -- the kind you listen to in spas while having a refreshing facial or a soothing full-body massage. My wife and I are experimenting on listening to them while we sleep... We are yet to try it this coming weekendn though. Currently, I have 7hrs worth of instrumental music -- piano, classical guitar, harp, flute, pan pipe, you name it, I have it. Yup, even the sounds of nature like that of birds chirping and waterfalls and the ocean waves crashing. (If anyone's interested, just message me! )

Recently, I've also embraced my inner kikay. Well, actually, it's more of letting my inner kikay out. My inner kikay has been on hibernation mode for the past several years. Looking back, it must've started when work got busy and I started to be serious with it. Now, I've been buying some stuff for my face, I've been having more facials, foot spas, mani-pedis, massages... I finally admitted that I love these things and stopped feeling guilty for overspending on myself. I reckon, I work hard 5 f*cking days a week. The least I can do is treat myself to something that will make me feel better, right? For the past years, I've been depriving myself of these 'guilty pleasures' -- how crazy is that?! Now, I'm feeling more energized and pumped to get through my work week regardless of how stressful it gets. In fact, I've been highly-productive since I started these weekend treats. I guess spending on myself is finally paying off! Hahahaha!

Lastly, I've been more daring to try things I don't normally like doing. Perfect example -- travelling by public transport. A couple of things I hate about commuting are losing my personal space and being exposed to less than desirable smells. One thing I love about it though is being able to do stopovers! It's the perfect excuse to 'pass by' the mall or to 'chance upon' my favorite street foods! Yum-o! Trust me, those gastronomical excursions and occasional window shopping makes all the hassles worth it.

Which CSI Miami Character Are You?

This was a bit unexpected but I'm very pleased nonetheless. Adter all, she's one of the smartest ladies on TV, so why complain? :)
