ENTRY 56: GREY'S ANATOMY

Okay, I admit this is more of a guilty pleasure for me... As much as I would not like to admit to the public that I watch this show, I really do like it... It's because it's funny and it's not dragging... and it's got Katherine Heigl... She's hot!!!

Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy is still brilliant... Better than the first season? Definitely... It's longer... 28 episodes, each one outdoing the other...

The show follows up on what happened when Meredith found out that Dr. McDreamy is still married... It's a cool relationship what they had... Immoral... But cool... I'd like to be like that with my exes... It's not the type of show that would make you want to be a doctor, it actually does the opposite... But it's still cool... In what kind of hospital will you see doctors accepting a patient with a missile lodged in his chest... or instead of anaesthetics, uses pornography as a means to ease the pain, literally... Only in Seattle Grace Hospital...

This is far from my favorite television show, but it certainly one that makes me feel good after... I cannot relate to any character, but I certainly can sympathize with them...

ENTRY 55: ANONG MERON ANG TAONG HAPPY?

Di ko alam kung bakit, pero masaya ako ngayon... Siguro dahil maganda ang performance ng programa ko... dahil natapos ko na yung Season 2 ng Grey's Anatomy... dahil malapit na akong bumili ng bagong cellphone... dahil malapit na ang Octoberfest... o dahil tapos na ang tag-ulan (kahit medyo umaambon-ambon pa)...

Wala akong tulog nuong linggo... Tinapos ko ang buong season ng Grey's Anatomy, mula alas-dose ng tanghali, hanggang alas-dose ng gabi... tuluy-tuloy kong pinanuod yung palabas... AStig... nakakatawa... tapos may mga episode na nakakaiyak (pero di ko ginawa yun... umiyak)... pero mas madami ang nakakatawa... Buong buod sa palabas isusulat ko mamaya o bukas...

Ang isang naging dragging lang sa weekend ko eh nung nalaman ko na hiwalay na ang katrabaho ko sa girlfriend niya ng halos walong taon... Malungkot... pero ganyan talaga ang buhay...

Masaya pa rin ako!!! Dapat lang para hindi bumilis yung pagtanda ng hitsura ko... Gusto ko na lagi akong mukhang bata... Nung linggo kasi, sabi ng isang dati kong ahente na mukha daw akong sobrang ngarag... Di kasi ako nagsuklay... kaya ngayon... todo pomada ito!!! Harhar...

ENTRY 54: NANALO KAMI!!!

Simula alas-4 kahapon, hindi na ako nakaupo hanggang bandang alas sais ng gabi... Ang dahilan...

Game 3 ng finals ng San Beda at PCU!!!

At nanalo kami!!! Pagkatapos ng 28 napakahabang taon, ang tagtuyot ay natapos na... Nakapag-uwi na ang kolehiyo ko ng tropeo para sa men's basketball!!!

Sobrang dikit ng labanan... Last quarter, ang lamang naming bente napalapit sa 1... sinuwerte talaga kami kahapon... Kung naipasok ni Belga yung huli niyang tira, malamang di isasara ang Mendiola mamaya... 1 lang ang lamang... ISA!!!

Worthy opponent talaga ang PCU... Sinong mag-aakala na pagkatapos bumulusok ng SBC sa 3rd Quarter, eh 6 lang ang maipupuntos nila sa huling sampung minuto ng laro... halos lahat pa nun eh free throw...

Pero di na mahalaga lahat yun... Ang mahalaga NANALO KAMI!!! Woooohhh!!! YES!!! Kung pwede lang ako pumunta sa Mendiola mamaya, gagawin ko!!! Ang galing nilang lahat... si Aljamal, Angeles (na pamatay ang buzzer-beater na 3 point shot nung 2nd quarter), Ekwe at Escobal... Hanga ako... Kahit nung bandang huli eh medyo sumablay ang ilan sa inyo, hanga pa din ako!!! Kudos din syempre kay Coach Koy Banal, ang galing mo!!! Sayang wala ako sa Araneta!!! Ang saya!!! Animo San Beda!!! Ang dami kong tinype na exclamation point sa entry na'to!!!

ENTRY 53: THE BOSS

It's 10:40pm and normally, I should be at home sleeping or watching cheesy filipino telenovelas or... well... sleeping... But today, I'm in the office not really working... I have to come in early so I could meet the Chairman and CEO of the company I'm working for...

If you could only see me now... I'm wearing a tie... My long sleeve's not folded... I look decent... I mean I should... but today, it's not normal, I feel like a distinguished gentleman... Which I'm not by the way... I'm more of a crazed lunatic, but then again that's what meeting the boss usually does...

Funny thing... I do not have a clue as to how to knot my necktie... I did back when I was in high school (this is embarassing as I graduated from a business school with a degree in Marketing)... So I'm almost late to work, and there was no prepared tie on my closet so I had to pick one that would complement what I was wearing... and no, I did not choose my condom designed tie... On my way to work, I had to practice making the knots on my tie... I thought I won't get it right... Was able to do it on my 35th try... The windsor knot... Ha!!!

I met him... The CEO of ICT Group... John was a nice man... We talked for about one minute... And then poof he's gone... At least he knows me now... Good thing my boss, Ms. Joh, she said nice things about me... Remind me to thank her later...

In any case, I came in 5 hours earlier to meet the CEO of my company for a minute... Yay!!! At least I'll be able to go home early today.

ENTRY 52: END 28 ON 82

One of the things that I am proud of, aside from being a Supervisor at the age of 24, is that I also am a BEDAN!!! And this week, we're at the peak of our elated days... After so many years, we are on the brink of winning the championship for the Men's Basketball in NCAA Season 82... This is a celebration of Ateneo proportions!!! I'm so happy and proud!!!

I think today's game was the first one I've seen of our men's basketball team in 3 years... A lot of new faces were on the team, and most of them played great... I think the leaders for this game were Youssif Aljamal, Escobal, Angeles and of course this season's Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player, Sam Ekwe!!!

Hot damn, Araneta Coliseum was so red, I didn't know what to think... I wanted to be one of them!!! I will try to score me and some colleagues tickets for tomorrow's game... This is it!!! NO more title drought for the team!!! Woohoo!!!

ANIMO SAN BEDA!!!

ENTRY 51: OLD SOUL

After going out last night, I realized that I have an old soul... I'm not sure, I rarely go out to bars to party, it's never been my thing... But when I went there last night, I really felt that I don't belong...
I guess it's the introvert in me... I have no idea why I cannot bring out the extrovert in me whenever I'm outside the four walls of the office... It's not that bad, but the thing is, other than work, I cannot find a topic to talk about with my co-workers outside the office... That is just so wrong...
Do not take this the wrong way, but I did enjoy my trip to Decades last night... God knows I deserve to have some fun sometimes!!! I get to jiggy a little bit (it's embarassing, you don't want to see that)... I know I have two left feet... But like I said, I feel that I don't belong to that kind of crowd...
And I'm only 24!!! Dancing with 19 year-olds are not that wrong... They're technically of legal age already, but to me, I'm finding it difficult to relate with them, intellectually... Like I said, I have an old soul...

ENTRY 50: EULOGY SA CELLPHONE KO

Kung nabasa niyo yung huling entry ko, nalaman niyo na nawala yung cellphone ko sa Enchanted Kingdom... Ninakaw siya ng walang kaluluwang nilalang na hindi ko malaman kung bakit isinilang pa sa mundo... Ngayon ako magpapakabitter, para matapos na lahat ito... ilalabas ko lang yung sama ng loob ko... Pagpasensyahan niyo na po ako...

Nung pasko nung nakaraang taon, ipinakita ko sa inyo yung nabili kong cellphone... Sony Ericson k750i... Minahal ko yun ng halos 9 na buwan... Halos lahat ng mga paborito kong kanta nakastore sa mp3 player nun... At ang mga PICTURES!!! yun ang pinakanakakapanghinayang... Hindi ko man lang nai-upload yung mga larawan ko at ng mga katrabaho ko sa email ko...

Nanggigigil ako... di ko alam kung paano nakuha yun... pero tapos na siya... I've let go... I'm moving on... Kailan kaya ako makakabili ng kapalit ng phone na yun? Gusto kong bilhin yung Cybershot phone ng Ericson... Pero medyo mahal pa siya... Hihintayin ko muna maging mura yung phone, saka ko bibilhin... Sana dumating na yung increase ko, nang matigil ako sa kakatipid... Hindi siya healthy para sakin...

Ang mabuti na naidudulot ng pagkawala ng phone ko ngayon... eto...

• Nauuto ko ang mga agents ko na gawin lahat ng gusto ko (kunwari nalulungkot ako)
• Napagbibigyan akong iextend ang mga utang ko dahil nga kunwari depressed ako...
• Naipagluto ako ng magulang ko ng paborito kong pagkain nung linggo
• Lahat nakikisimpatya sa pagkawala ng phone ko (concerned sakin agents ko... awwww)

Ok na ako... Move on..

ENTRY 48: MEAN BOY

fSo nakasakay ako kanina sa fx pauwi, and then there was this girl na empleyado ng SM Sucat na feeling nagmamaganda... Di ba ang ilang fx eh yung aircon lahat nasa gitna, ang ginawa nung epal na babae tinapat sa kanya yung aircon, as in sa kanya lang... Nakakaasar diba? Mabuti na lang nakapagtimpi ako kanina... Inisip ko na lang na babae siya... Pero sa isip ko, gustung-gusto ko siyang awayin... She's not pretty... at empleyado lang siya ng SM, minimum wage earner... HELLO!!! Arrrgh!!! Nakakagigil!!!

*****

New office policy...
Napapansin ko kasi, na dumadami ang nagdadahilan ng kung anu-ano para hindi magtawag sa trabaho... Pumapasok kayo para magtrabaho at hindi magpahinga... Kaya ngayon, kung di mo kayang magtawag, umuwi ka na lang... Para di sayang pinapasweldo namin sa inyo... bawal na ang nakameeting sa clock... Kung di mo kayang magtawag, GO HOME...

*****

Si tatay...
Hindi pa rin nagsasawa sa kaka-magic sing... Kaligayahan niya yun... Pero naman kung wala ka ng boses, sana itigil na ang pagkanta!!! Mahal ko mga magulang ko, di ko lang talaga kaya na nag-iingay sila... Medyo maganda kasi sound system sa bahay, at kapag nagmamagic sing ang isang tao eh, naririnig hanggang kanto yung sounds... Ang tatay ko, araw-araw kung kumanta, at medyo full volume pa ang speakers... Wala namang boses... Nagsawa na siya sa kakakanta ng Matt Munro at Frank Sinatra (after 3 months)... kaya ngayon lahat na ng kanta eh sinusubukan niya... Ilang daan din yun... Nakasarado na pintuan at bintana ng kwarto ko, naririnig ko pa rin yung paos at pekeng palseto niyang boses... Iniisip ko tuloy kung ano sinasabi ng mga kapitbahay namin tungkol sa kanya... Idadagdag ko lang, madalas siyang magpractice sa bahay ng mga maghahatinggabi... Milagro na lang na hindi pa binabato yung bahay namin... I love you daddy...

*****

Dala ng walang tulog...
Wala akong tulog masyado ngayon kaya medyo 'cranky' ako... Patawad po... Di ako talaga ganito... Siguro mawawala ito pagpunta namin mamaya sa Enchanted Kingdom... Pero mukhang malabo, lalo kasi akong hindi makakatulog nun... Medyo nagdadalawang isip nga ako ngayon.. Ako lang ata yung lalaki na sasama dun... Inutang ko pa yung pangpunta ko don... Wag na lang kaya ako sumama? Hmmm...

*****

Nagbabakasakali lang...
Gusto kong magleave ng isang linggo... Di kaya ako ibitin ng patiwarik ni Janie? Subukan ko kaya... Pang-asar lang... Kaya na naman ata nilang patakbuhin 'tong programang ito nang wala ako... May balikan pa kaya akong posisyon? Ayoko, wag muna... Tikman ko muna yung increase ko... Sana malapit na 'yon para makapagleave na ako... Pupunta talaga ako ng Bora... Kahit ako lang mag-isa...

*****

Bwiset...
Ang dalas ko nang nakakarinig ng mga kantang pampasko... Nakakadepress... 3 buwan pa bago magpasko!!! Ang kinatutuwa ko lang sa mga panahon na ganito eh yung linggu-linggong fireworks display na nagaganap sa Ayala at ngayon sa Mall of Asia... Yun lang... Wala ng iba...

*****

Isa pang bwiset...
Mag-aalas onse na... Isa-isa ng dumarating ang mga text messages ng mga ahente ko... Hindi raw sila makakapasok ngayon...

• May sakit ang anak ko (medyo valid, kasi kahapon pa ito... pumasok lang kahapon)
• Binaha daw sa area nila (medyo malakas kasi ulan ngayon... biglaan)
• Baka may dengue yung kapatid (k, fine)
• Di daw maganda ang pakiramdam (pinakagasgas na excuse)
• Namamaga ang tonsils (di sanay magtawag)

Dahil dyan, buong buwan nanaman kaming mag-oOT... Tanggalin ko kaya lahat ng absinero sa programa ko? Parang gusto kong maging diktador dito ngayon... Magbago kaya ang ugali ng mga ahente ko? Buong gabi ako ngayon gagawa ng mga warnings... Tutal mean boy na naman ako ngayon... PANININDIGAN KO NA ITO...

ENTRY 47: HAY!!!

Matagal-tagal na rin akong hindi nagsusulat sa tagalog dito sa blog kong ito... Wala rin naman akong masabi na matino... yung huli ko palang sinulat, medyo tagalog din meron don.. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit palaging inggles yung mga sinusulat ko.. di naman ako gaanong magaling sa wikang iyon... kahit nga sa trabaho, di ako masyadong nag-iinggles... ginagawa ko lang yun kapag may kliyente...

So kumusta naman ako? ETo ngarag pa rin sa trabaho... ngayong linggo, sasama ako sa mga katrabaho ko na pumunta sa Enchanted Kingdom... matagal na rin akong hindi nakakapunta dun, sampung taon? dalawang magkasunod na linggo akong pupunta ng Laguna... suki... wala lang...

Mahirap magpatakbo ng programa... kelangan ko talaga ng isang MAHABANG pahinga...

ENTRY 46: THE LONG DRUNKEN WEEKEND

So if you're like me who works in a call center, last weekend was a long one... Whether you're calling the US or Canada (like my account), you didn't work yesterday... I guess the only exception are the inbound people...

It's been awhile since my program had an outing of some sorts... If I'm not mistaken, the last time we did it, was last April... the start of summer... I think that was our anniversary celebration... Because we've been having like 6th day overtimes for two months, we've decided to rest up a bit, relax, and go out of the city and enjoy a little bit...

We went to Pansol Laguna to have our outing... the first time wherein I helped in organizing one... It was a lot of fun... I think I spent 75% of our time there drunk... Imagine drinking Gran Matador and having San Mig Light as your chaser... That was fun... I can't believe that I did not pass out or throw up... I can even still remember everything I did there...

Of course there were still some things that i would've liked to do that I wasn't able to because of having lack of time and preparation, but the important thing is, everybody bonded... I think somehow in some way we got to know a little of each other better...

Here's some of the things I learned through our little bonding activity...

• Now i know that one of my colleagues is a huge flirt when drunk!!!
• I know that there are certain people that takes jokes seriously
• A couple of love teams were formed... just for fun
• Drunk people are fun to hang around with
• You do NOT follow a shot of Gran Matador with San Mig Light... that shit's strong...
• Holding the mic in a videoke after you swim will get you grounded
• You sleep better when your room is air-conditioned
• Oh yeah and I can stay under water for longer than 30 seconds now... I still don't know how to swim though...
• One good bonding activity is to eat like soldiers... all the food is placed on a few banana leaves... it's fun to share germs with your friends.
• I like beer...

ENTRY 45: THEME SONG FOR THE MOMENT

NOt that I'm depressed at the moment, it's just that I feel this song fits my mood or my life best... It's a Queen classic...

SOMEBODY TO LOVE
QUEEN

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

ENTRY 44: SEPTEMBER

A new month... A new lease on life... After that terrible ordeal I had to go through this week, I promised to do away with the whole love crap... I won't be bitter, but now may not be the right time for me to be going into relationships... Maybe I'm just stressed out with the promotion, and everything going on with my life... New responsibilities and all that... I guess, I just wanted someone to talk to about everything that goes on with me... Someone to share my joys with... Just someone... Anyone... Can anybody find me, somebody to love...

Oh well, you can't have everything... At least I've got tons of money!!!

*****

My new credo... I don't give a crap on what people think of me... I have money!!!

*****

Oh yeah, I better start saving some to buy gifts for colleagues, godchildren and family for Christmas...
It's the 'ber' month already... The depression season is coming!!!

ENTRY 43: NOT MEANT TO BE

The past few of days have been a roller coaster ride. I did not fall in love... Almost did, but unfortunately, it did not fall through...

REASON: It was not meant to be...

I met Lyanne in the chatroom a few days ago... The whole thing was wrong from the very beginning, come to think of it... We already were wrong for each other from the moment I received my first text message from her.
But I guess boredom would make you settle for anything less than you expected or wanted. We still texted each other, simply because there's no one else to text, or talk to... It turned out, in some way, there were things that the two of have in common... We were sweet to each other that she even called me 'dadz'. We decided to meet the next day...

Long story short, she was not that much into me, looks wise. Being dumped several times in my life already, I would know... She's not different with the other people who's turned me down... Yes, she looked nice and hot... and I looked like a drab... No effort from my part... But I believe that anyone who would like me when I looked my worst, likes me sincerely... I knew that she didn't but I turned a blind eye hoping that what I had to offer was enough to woe her into liking me...

It was stupid, and I know that... So yesterday I texted her about my status... THis is how the text conversation went...

Me: ilan ang nanliligaw sayo, o kaya yung nagpaparamdam?
Lyanne: 4
Me: kasama na ako dyan?
Lyanne: Nop
Me: Ang dami! So kung irank mo kami, pang-ilan ako?
Lyanne: Di ko masasabi, lahat kayo nasa getting to know each other stage pa lang...
Me: Okay, so pag nag-exert ba ako ng effort para ligawan ka, may pag-asa ba ako?
Lyanne: You don't have to just be yourself.
Me: Now that's my problem with you di ko nafifeel na you want to get to know me better.
Lyanne: That's up to you. Kung gusto mo friends muna tayo.
Me: Wow! Salamat!
Me: No offense meant, but I deserve better. I sincerely hope na mahanap dun sa 4 yung taong magmamahal sayo ng totoo.
Lyanne: if you're not going to say anything nice to me, then spare me!
Me: Im just being realistic, but ako pag nagmahal ako binibigay ko ang lahat... Now, kung hindi kayang suklian ng taong mahal ko yung mga iaalay ko, then she does not deserve my love...

end of texts...

Am I being a jerk? But in my defense, pinaasa niya ako...

ENTRY 42: COMMUTING HORROR STORIES

I've been a commuter since 6th grade, and there've been a few instances that I have shown my horns and tail. I am a nice guy in general, but then if provoked, I could be the long lost son of Lucifer himself. I'm tactless and brutally frank... I've made enemies back in the old days because I can't seem to take away the habit of keeping my mouth shut... But that's a whole different story...

Today, I'm going to talk about my commuting horror stories...

STORY 1: I WAS TIPSY
So I was about to go home from a team-building (more like inuman party) in Makati. I rode the shuttle back to Parañaque and then there were these 2 pacoño girls who were in front of me... So the discussion goes like this (it was 2 years ago, so forgive me this is not accurate)...
Girl 1: I don't like sa Jollibee, kasi nakakasawa na food dun...
Girl 2: And I don't like the crowd noh. And di naman ako gutom eh...
Girl 1: Yeah, sa Starbucks na lang tayo... at least masarap pa pastries dun...
Girl 2: Right, and kahit bread land kainin naten, we always get full..
(this conversation went on for like 5 minutes... it did not make sense... so finally...)
Me: Kaya kayo tumataba eh...
(then there was like 30 seconds of silence...)
Girl 1: EXCUSE ME?!
Me: I'm s-s-so s-s-sorry miss, I'm drunk...
That's all I said, I don't remember if the girl slapped me, but I know the hour and a half long trip home was very uncomfortable... They stopped talking about food, but did not stop talking about my rudeness... Even the lady beside me was eyeing me cruelly... I think they all wanted throw me out of the van.

STORY 2: WHY I DON'T SLEEP IN BUSES ANYMORE

It's a habit of mine, since I take a bus ride going home, that I sleep for the greater part of it... And then there was this one time that I was really tired, I walked from the office to Megamall to the bus terminal (it was a long walk!!!), and I fell asleep... Moments later, I heard the ticket inspector saying "saan ang ticket ng boyfriend mo?" Then I felt my head being shrugged off by someone. Apparently, I slept on the shoulder of some guy that I didn't know... THat was embarrasing, (good thing I did not drool or something)... People were laughing... He did not notice also, cause I think he was asleep too...

STORY 3: UNLUCKY WITH TAXI
I think that there's a conspiracy against me sometimes... I'm already late, but then on my way to work, every stoplight that we pass, when we're almost at the edge of the road or street, the light turns red... As in EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! And then this dumbass driver has to take a different route going to EDSA... So instead of from Baclaran, we had to go to Buendia, then to some backalleys, leading to Magallanes then EDSA... My bill was already a hundred bucks and I'm not in the Makati Business District yet... I got off Ayala and took the MRT going to Ortigas... I just got out of the cab and threw away a hundred bucks... The sad part was, it was not even traffic in EDSA!!!

STORY 4: I DID NOT SAY THIS...
You know that in buses, there are seats that can accomodate 3 people and on the other side, can sit 2... So there was this one night, I was on my way to work and I sat on the 2 seater side. Along came this couple who didn't have anymore place to sit on because the bus was already almost full. The woman sat beside me, and the guy tried to sit on the other side. I don't know, but there are really these insensitive people who don't really budge so that others can take their seat (I also do that, but then again that's only if ugly people are trying to sit beside me... or people who smell like sweat)... So this guy got irritated with the woman because she wasn't moving, and said... "ANG TABA MO KASI EH!" I found that really hilarious, and I laughed. So the couple got off, leaving me to face the wrath of the immovable object... Yeah, I think I heard her chanting something in her native witch tongue... But that was uber-creepy... I wasn't able to look at her after that...

ENTRY 41: IN THE COMPANY OF GREATNESS

Nope, I did not meet the Dalai Lama or the President of South Africa, or the Pope. Never met them, don't think I will ever do. The past couple of days, I've joined the seminar of the Human Resources department of the company that I'm currently working for. And it was attended by the supervisors of other accounts. It was a great seminar. I learned a lot and, and had a lot of fun while doing so.

To be honest, the company I'm working for is not perfect. I believe it's far from half to even becoming perfect. But the thing is, a lot of people are staying in the company for a long time. I for one am with the company for more than 2 years already. And I thought I was a dying breed in the company. Lo and behold, in our RCBC site, there were like other people who, like me had a 3-digit id number. There was even one who has a 2 digit id number. Of course, all of them have high positions already... (I'd like to say "us" but my title is not official yet)...

I remember now the reason why I liked it here... People, more specifically the supervisors and team leads are a happy... They (or rather we) have this happy disposition in life which affects everyone else... Their optimism are contagious. That is why alot of agents are staying with the company. Because no matter what the pressure is given to agents, at the end of the day, whether you make a sale or not, our team leaders are still content with what the agents are giving... They still joke around, and considers agents as friends and not slaves... That's the culture here in the company that I'm working for.

ENTRY 40: UNTITLED

Damn, my whole weekend was about sleeping... Counting Monday and Sunday, I slept a total of 15 hours... interrupted of course... but I snoozed like Sleeping Beauty (I'm thinking of the guy who slept for like 20 years, forgot his name though.. so sorry about the analogy)... Anyway, I have this MAJOR hangover right now... because of oversleeping and not being drunk... I've been sober for like a week now... Not as if I'm a drunk or anything like that... This is what I feel when I sleep for a long time...
*****
So last weekend was sort of exciting for the program... We chose 2 new Team Leaders for the program... Well, they deserve it... We chose these 2 people because we feel that they will be effective on the floor, as well as we all know that these 2 reps are going to be really dedicated on their jobs... I wish the both of them good luck...
*****
Oh yeah, kudos to my program, they've been performing the last 3 days... Looks like come payday, I'd be broke once more... Sigh...
*****
YOu know one thing that I would really like to do, is update you about my lovelife... Unfortunately, there is none... It's getting me depressed, as we're already into the rainy season... And these days usually are the peak of my desire-to-be-loved phases... And no, the love of my parents are not counted!!!
*****
Oh yeah, I saw the movie Story of Us this morning... And i hate to say it, but it almost made me cry... ALMOST... This is the reason why I don't like to watch chick flicks... It's slowly turning me into one... The bad thing about it is that I cannot relate... Why am I being so emotional on stupid things like that, when I don't even like anything about it... Fuck!!! But the movie is beautiful... It's so not cheesy... Maybe these films are my guide to becoming a better husband or boyfriend or whatever... Or maybe I should play a little more of Resident Evil or Silent Hill... I think I need to put more testosterone in my body every now and then...
*****
Been lurking on other people's blogs, and I found this wonderfully funny site, www.professionalheckler.blog-citycom . It was funny, and is intelligently written... If the guy ever decides to become the country's John Stewart, he would be popular... I do hope though that what he was writing was his original ideas, I would hate to think that those brilliant heckling are just plagiarized from other genius' minds... that would be disappointing.

Just want to tell you, I have this penultimate crush... It's never going to happen, as I know I would never have enough courage to muster the words to tell this person how I really feel... Don't really know why this just came up... Never heard from her for like years already... Why did the feelings suddenly come back?! Makes me feel like crap....

ENTRY 39: GET TO KNOW ME BETTER

Some more things, that I would like to indulge about myself... few more questions to answer...
as if you care...

When at home, you...
Watch DVD's, VCD's, television or read through my comic books. Of course, that's if I'm awake... I'm mostly sleeping when I'm at home...

Favorite movies of all time...
-Jerry Maguire
-Under the Tuscan Sun
-Shall We Dance
-The Wedding Singer
-Scent of a Woman

3 songs never to be deleted on your playlist...
-In Demand (Texas)
-You and Me (lifehouse)
-The Last Time (Eric Benet)

3 shows you watch regularly...
-CSI
-Lost
-Prison Break

Where do you hang-out?
If I'm not in the office, I chill out at Greenbelt, or Glorietta... maybe at Starbucks to google at the beautiful people passing by... just chillin'...

3 things you can't live without...
-a soft bed
-a pillow
-comic books

If you could have just one wish... what would it be?
That all of my wishes will be granted (I don't know why no one ever thought of that)

Did you have a good childhood?
Yeah... I knew how to play children's games like monkey monkey, patintero, block 123... I was a witness to the height of popularity of Ultraman, Bioman, Magmaman, Shaider, Takeshi's Castle... I had a lot of the classic GI Joe, Transformers, Dino Riders, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures... I was born and grew up on one of the best decades of my age...

What kind of student were you?
I was not a loner, more of a commoner back in high school... that's why I enjoyed college better... Simply put, I was cooler back in college... Although, my friends in high school were the ones who stuck with me... I wonder why that is...

*****

As much as I would like to give you more, I have a shift to start in about an hour and I have to prepare... I'll just put some more info I'd divulge when I think of things that I deem okay to let y'all know...

ENTRY 37: THE LAST TIME

THE LAST TIME
Eric Benet

The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.

After everything I've learned;
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.

The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why,
because each question is answered when your near.

and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds,
this is the last time i'll fall in love.

Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could I be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it,
I'll never be the same.

You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words.
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.

This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
The last time i'll fall... in love.

I just want to share this wonderful song with y'all...
