Entries for December, 2004
Yesterday, I've waited at the MRT Taft station for almost 2 hours. Dainty and I supposed to meet there at 9am. I've been receiving SMS from her since 8am, but judging from her messages, it seems that she have not received any of my replies. Unfortunately, both our cellphones are broken. Her phone can't receive SMS, and my phone's battery drains fast like water on the sink. A few weeks ago, she asked me to go with her to Manila Doctors College for a college entrance exam. That's why we met at the train station. But unfortunately, when we got on the school, the security told us that the college moved out to a new location somewhere else in Manila. So, to not to waste our time, we just went to schools around the university belt, which is nearer. We inquired at San Beda and Centro Escolar University (I really like the CEU campus. So nice.) Then after that, we went to a computer shop. I gave her a 2 1/2 hour crash course on Visual Basic 6. Surprisingly, she's very eager to learn, it made it all easy for me. I love teaching people with an attitude like that. I haven't updated for a few days (maybe because I got lazy blogging. lol). But I'm very tired right now. I'll just post again later. Thanks to the people dropping by. |
Yesterday, 11am. My father woke me up shouting. I had a phone call from John Clements, again. The person on the other line was asking me to come on the seminar scheduled at 6pm. The truth is I lost interest going to that seminar last week. Good thing they gave me a chance. I went there, and I learned a lot from it. It is a 3-day session which started last night. And on Saturday, I will have my test. Goodluck to me. |
We have this activity where we should talk (with fluency) in front about anything. So, there was this girl who is talking about a friend of hers who is currently working on a call center. One day, the girl received a call from an old lady from U.S. I am not sure what did they talked about but suddenly, the old lady got angry with the call center agent and then started to ask her name. The agent gave her name, but the old lady started yelling, "You sound like a Filipino to me! Are you from the Philippines? You Filipinos are so damn BLAH-BLAH-BLAH!..." The Old lady kept yelling and yelling. Then the call center girl asked granny's name. Then she learned that the her name is Ana Capinpin (*note: I'm not sure with the first name). The call center agent got surprised, because her name sounds like a Filipino. So she asked granny, "Are you a Filipino?" "NO I'M NOT!", granny replied. But on the background, the agent could hear a very familiar music, entitled "Kastilyong Buhangin". Not a Filipino huh... Everybody was amused. |
Test got postponed until this coming saturday. Gotta be prepared. zzz... What else... missed you Tere! I feel terrible today. Got colds and cough. zzzz.. Wala kong ma-i-blog. Halata ba? |
Jobs, Jobs everywhere but nothing seems for me. *sigh* I just needed a job to gain my self-respect. Salary is only secondary for me. Pa-mura lang one time. Nalulungkot na naiinis lang talaga ako sa buhay ko. P O T A N G I N A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A NAMAN NYAN OOOOOOO! |
Since two nights ago, I didn't feel so well. I feel so frustrated over my job hunting and many other personal things in my life. *sigh* So, yesterday, I went to my friends' cyberafe to loosen up. I still don't feel very well when I got there. I just played Ragnarok and had some small conversations with 'them'. As I spend my time in that place, maybe unknowingly, the three sisters didn't fail to give me a smile. I truely appreciate what you did. Thank you Ingrid, Recy, and Bible. Thanks for the chocolates also.

It was Nico's Birthday yesterday (Happy birthday mah friend!). Tumatnda ka na naman hahahah! Thank you for the party. And thank you for making me dead-drunk. There are fewer people who came this year. Recy, JJay, Dan, Ron, JJ, Adz, & me. But still, everything turned out to be fun. I'm so happy yesterday, until when I got home. I got a small argument with my brother. Knowing my brother, he always make such fuss into a long-term feud. And it gets more serious overtime. We never agreed on anything. Sibling rivalry? I don't think so. I just kept quiet on whatever he says. I just let him keep talking. I am planing for a trip tomorrow to Olongapo to visit Tere. I have an idea now how to get there so I'll be packing up today. |
I just want to spend my Christmas season like it's my last time. Too bad I don't have money. hehe.  Anyway, Merry Christmas to all! Quote of the day: "I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them." |
Yeah. I just got back from Olongapo to visit my dear friend Tere on her birthday. Ok no, birthday lang, dinayo ko pa. Of course, she's very special to me. And besides, I rarely see her (like once or twice a year). I asked Dan how to get there. I was nervous back then. This is the first time I'll be travelling alone to that place (but its my second time going there). I never knew how easy it is. When I got into the Victory Liner Bus station in Olongapo, Tere was already waiting for me somewhere in that place. It's nice to see her again after nine months. Then we took our lunch at Greenwich and talked about a lot of things. She wanted me to meet her new boyfriend, Keith, and she wants to know what do I think of him. I don't really know the guy. Pretty interesting, for he made Tere fall for him. So after lunch, we went straight to her home. I met her brother Raymond, and mother again for the second time. After a few minutes, I met Keith. Then I met some other familiar faces like Onat and Claire; and some new faces like Billy, and a pretty girl called Dane. I tried to be comfortable around them because I feel uneasy being with new people around. While waiting for Tere's brother, I downloaded my anime movies from my harddisk to her PC, played games for a while and have a little chat with her friends. After hours of waiting, we went to another house which is own by Tere's step dad. There, we got lots of food and drinks. I had a bottle of beer, but i didn't finish it because I was getting drunk. Lots of talk. I was trying to learn each of everyone. So far, they were all ok. Such friendly guys. Then after that, about 10:30pm, we went back to Tere's pad on a high-speed tricyle ride (a really scary and freezing ride). It late at night and the air is so damp and cold. We decided to go on the night market and carnival.  On the carnival, there was a dancing contest on the stage, lots of bazaars with cheap prices, lots of rides, pretty interesting gadgets on sale, cool shirts, food, and more. We rode on bump cars it was very nice of them to bump me a lot (especially Billy). I bumped Tere's car many times (hehehe). Then, I dragged Tere on the scarry-looking Ferris wheel . You should have seen her face while we're still on the foot. She asked the operator (yelling on him) to make the wheel go slower. Then, a shooting gallery. Then Onat and I went inside a pyramid maze. This was the very memorable part (tee-hee). On the maze, there are mummies who are following us and kept slamming the wooden walls. I went inside first and Onat is behind me, touching my shoulders. As we wander inside the dark maze, I could feel Onat shaking! (HAHAHHA). Scardy cat. I was not scared though, thinking that the person bigger than me is shaking. We got out of the maze, and I was devilishly laughing my ass off . Then after the maze, I rode on the most extreme ride of the carnival: The Hammer - a ride that vertically rotates and the cockpit you are sitting on also rotates (see the picture).Then we ate some cotton candy. And we went back to Tere's pad to rest for a while. I planned to get on a bus at 2am. The bus station. Once again, I have to say good bye. But I will always remember that one great day. Thank you Tere. Babalik ako kung pwede ako. Hehehe. |
There comes 2005, year of the rooster. I am a rooster, born in the year 1981. I wonder what does it store for me? A good job? a good idea about my thesis? Hmm... I'll think over my new year's resolutions. Maybe when I changed some of my attitudes, that could drastically change myself. This year, I: - learned how to speak English with American accent - learned that getting into call centers are not that easy - learned how to be comfortable in job interviews - learned how to find more job resources - learned how to make a swan origami - have proven that long distance relationships doesn't really work out (most of the time) - learned that lost of communication does really separates you from the closest of friends (most of the time) - have proven that honesty and communication could never break a friendship, even you are miles apart. - learned to never trust my Uncle Rey, even when he seems so kind (what an asshole) - learned that I really only got 3 god-children (I thought I got 5) - learned that you cannot underestimate kids today - learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief - learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other - learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help - learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. - learned that there are people that will ALWAYS trust and care for you, even in the times you think there is none - learned how to make simple animations in Flash - learned how to go to Olangapo by myself (I'll just keep adding more as I remember) So why did I list down these stuff? So that I could tell myself that I have done a lot this year. And hopefully, I would like to experience more good things (and some hardships, too) on the coming year. |
I admit that this year is a mess for me. It seems that time has been passing by, but I've only done small things. It was terrible. I was depressed the whole year long, thinking too much about my studies, work (and lovelife? LOL). Until I just woke up one day, without nothing on my hand. Daydreaming, chasing the ghost of the past, never forging myself. I hated myself. I wanted to die. Have you ever thought of killing yourself? I do. Everyday. It's not self-pity, but more of self-hatred. A new year is coming. I just realized time is not waiting for me. I want to be better. I want to stop worrying about love for a while. I want to get over a life thinking everyday, wishing there is someone who who sends celphone messages everyday just to say "I love you, honey!", someone who hugs away your daily troubles, someone who calls you up before she goes to bed, someone who calls you up in the morning just to tell you how wonderful her dream is (with you in it), someone who brags to her friends how wonderful her prince charming is, someone who will stay at your side when you are down. |
Kanina, alas-singko ng hapon, nasa SM Megamall ako. Magkikita dapat kami ng friend ko na si Alvin (tukayo ko), kukunin ko bayad nya sa modem na binili nya sa kin. Nandun si Alvin sa gamol kasi may promotional show si Sarah Geronimo. E kung alam nyo lang kung gaano ka-obsessed kay Sarah tong taong to. Nakita ko pa nga sya kanina nasa harap ng stage. Manghang-mangha amp! So hayun nga. Tinext ko sya makailang beses na magkita kami sa Synergy (arcade na nasa tabi ng Ice skating rink). Everytime na magtetext sya, sabi nya lagi malapit na daw sila matapos ata papunta na sya sa Synergy. Makalipas ang dalawang oras, wala pa rin. Mauubos na pera ko kakalaro ng arcade. Pero hintay pa rin ako. Kaya nanood na lang ako ng mga nag-a-ice skate. May mga seksi, may bata, may mga nadadapa, may mga batang nagkukutkot ng yelo at pinambabato sa kasama nila, may mga feeling nasa championship ng competition. Ang tagal ni Alvin. Nasan na kaya yun? 9:30. Aba. Naghihintay pa rin ako. Nanonood pa rin ako nung mga nag-a-ice skate. Nag text ulit ako. Di na nagrereply. Umuwi na lang ako. Bahala sya. Pag-uwi ko ng bahay, may nareceive akong text mula kay Alvin. "Sori tlga nxt tyme n lang. Dko nakita synergy.Umuwi na lang me. bwi na lang me nxt tym." AY POTA. Ibig sabihin naghihintay ako dun tapos nakauwi na pala to. Nakakainis talaga sya. |
So... I think I need a new blog layout. Hmm... Well of course, there are good things that happened last year like, - I didn't have more enemies (except for the usual people like my brother, my dad, and my Uncle Rey). - I got to know more friendly people, especially here in Tabulas like Edeh, Maan, Onat, and many more. Thank you for being nice - I went to Gapo, alone! What a cool experience. - I learned a lot from those job interviews I can't think anymore. hahaha. Anyway, every year is just like that. Happy moments & down moments, new trials, new friends & enemies, unforgetable experiences. My new year's resolution: To do my new year's resolution last year (the fact is, most of my resolutions didn't work out, or I haven't done it at all XD). - Exercise (?) - stop ragnarok again (for a while) - do something about my thesis Notes to me: I should remind myself to do the following tasks this year: - Research for a new thesis proposal (especially on last day of January, when the AMA library is already opened) - inquire for an SSS ID - correct my ROTC grade in the registrar - do the interview on January 7 - look for work So far, that's it. |
