I’m off to meet Jona at the mall to pick the jeans I bought from her. Then meet friends at bulaluhan. We’ll be videoke-ing our hearts out! Actually, i'd rather go home, hop on bed and read my Neil Gaiman book. I feel slightly guilty saying this but I hope they cancel the whole thing later.

Anyway, i've got the best-laid plans this weekend. I'm gonna watch SATC 1-6, read my books and be lazy. :)

working overtime is starting to suck.

was caught on the terrible traffic this morning. turned out that there was a burning container truck
in the middle of the south expressway.

finished doing all the marked-up drawings a bit earlier. hee.

+++

I couldn’t point pms-ing to the frequent fights we’ve been having. You were right - I’m not the same person I was before.

7pm - still here working. my cramps is starting to kick in. am about to finish this fucking drawing.. hate myself for snapping at raymond.. damn mood swings..

online bidding is becoming a favorite sport of mine. just won these books.^_^
well, it wasn't that easy winning. there's this another bidder who outbids me everytime i post another bid. good thing the seller decided to end the bidding at an earlier time. was able to post a couple of hour before the bid ends. hee.

A serious relationship could really be quite a strain esp. when the guy you’re in love with have no stable job and you’re itching to have a social life *even a tiny bit of it*. U want to go out, see places, fine dine on a regular basis but you can’t coz that’s were financial issues comes in… that sucks big time I know… . Sometimes stuff like that gets you… and makes you think of things you’re not supposed to be even thinking.

did a brief discussion of my work for a bunch of college students this morning. showed them p&ids, cable selection charts, termination details... all that stuff. i wasn't in the mood to talk when they came in but the questions that came pouring in afterwards got me all worked up. i even let them try the software i'm working on. i also mentioned a little about our working process and how our responsibilities interconnect with one another.

on another note, i was surprised they knew me. they must have been the first years on my last year at school. tumatanda na talaga ko. hehe.

a little something to soothe my frayed nerves - a baby doll.

worked overtime. boarded the wrong bus. spent two hours in traffic. made friends with my katabi. first meeting of pixelism inc. - the web and graphic design services bart, abbie, renz, adz and kuya ramil ventured in.

+++

"kasama ka ba dito" - bart after i butted several times during their discussion.

got home 8pm in the evening.

started reading The Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl.

5:39 pm

dito pa rin sa taragis na opis.

nangangatog sa lamig.

sakit na ng mata ko puta.

kanina pa ko dito walang imik. wala rin pumapansin sa kin.

baka natatakot na bigla na lang akong bumuga ng apoy pag inistorbo ako. nyahaha..

wala lng. baka me-pms lang ako. pero whatever.

ok lang. mas gusto kong nakakapag-isa. walang kausap.

Went shopping yesterday with my sister Lanie. We always split up purchases if we both like something since we're almost the same size. For the two of us we bought a red strappy sandals and a chocolate brown knitted blouse. Lani was able to buy a pinstripe slacks which fit her perfectly. I splurged a bit on underwears. :) Bought different colors of those low rise hip hugging cotton panties and several lacy boylegs.

It was Paulo's birthday last Saturday. Sadly, I wasn't able to make it on the children's party because I have to work overtime.

Called my sister alma. I passed the phone to my cousin Gilbert. Oh, shot mo na!?, he shouted. And that's when my sister cried. They were the closest ever between us cousins. When we were kids they were inseparable. The two of them would make Ate Richelle (sister of Kuya Gilbert) swallow Dad?s medicine, make her light matches, and bully her into taking lollipops at my mom?s sari-sari store. When they grew up my sister would sneak out of the house in the middle of the night just to watch Kuya Gilbert play. They hang out a lot during college days, have common friends and everything else. Going back, the phone was passed around and everyone did have a chance to say kamusta ka na and a 10 second what nots before passing the phone to the other. RJ (my sis? bf) also came.

After the call I have about 20 minutes of IDD charge. But what the heck, at least we?re all happy.

How dare you brought that up in front of Bart and everybody else? Anong kinalaman non sa usapan? You don?t fucking know why I did what I did back then. And even if you did you have no right to even say it right in front of me. So it was a family thing. All of us know it. Have I become just like that even if I?m not that kind of person for a loong time.

No, don't you "shake it up, shake it up" me. Fuck you. Just be grateful I wasn't drunk enough and I was too shock about it to even think of something to say. One thing is clear, I have less respect for you, cousin.

There will be loud gasps, shocked looks, and endless whys, hows and the unavoidable hushed whispers behind my back. But for now I’ll just keep my plans for myself.

Book Junkie.

I’ve been on a book-shopping spree.

I have been very productive today. No long trips to the bathroom. No ym messenger. No msn. All I did this morning was work, work, and work. So to reward myself, I feasted on baked ziti loaded with white sauce and a slice of those heavily loaded cheese pizza. Thank God for Sbarro.

+++

I did some math today and list down the bills I have to pay before the week ends. Credit card bills, cellphone bill, electric bill, weekly carpool fee, etc. What was left could barely make do until two weeks. Still shocked from the realization that I’m still broke a day after the paycheck, I started punching the calculator again. Yep, the figures were still the same. Well, I guess I might be able to survive if I order lunch at Jollidyip for two weeks, not go anywhere near malls and skip going out.

Sigh. Still poor ol’ monzky.

+++

My boss announced that we would be having overtime for two weeks starting tomorrow. See, life is still good. That means at the end of the month, if I religiously went through a couple of hours working overtime, I’ll have the money to go shopping (minus the credit card), take my family out on a dinner, buy book, bar hopping etc etc. Ang saya!

Still have one more panel to terminate before starting the loops. But fuck my wrist hurt. I’ll have this precious ten minutes blogging before leaving the office.

Will be dropping by my ol' college school later to pick up the CD keech gave me. Thanks very much! Yes, I’ll play track 18 first. ;)

Happy Weekend!

Larry, the weird and neurotic guy at piping, co-CPAP member and katomaan (hihi), gave me a purple sarong as a present from Boracay. Thanks man!

Back to work after almost three weeks of vacation.


Things err events that happened last year I’m blogging now:

Greeted the New Year with a nasty headache and flu.

My boyfriend celebrated New Year at our house.

My sister Alma went to Dubai. We will miss her terribly. There will be no more late night chat with all of us sprawled on her huge sheraton bed.

Mom’s back in Palawan but will be home on the 10th. So for the time being I’m officially the mother and the eldest sister in the house.

Dressed up Audrey Hepburn-like on our Christmas party. Well, it was a hollywood theme. A lot of people told me I look classy. But a comment “Who are you? Alice in Wonderland?” ruined my night. I was about to say something nasty, but then I just concluded she doesn’t know any better. Poor thing! :p

Fell in love with Milan Kundera’s work.

Developed a huge crush on James Marsters after watching too many bloddy series of Buffy.

Got hooked on girltalk.
