TAG me!
Entries for January, 2005
I'm so down right now. I received the results from John Clements. I failed. Maybe I was expecting too much. Nothing I can do now but to look for work again. |
...dahil sa wala lang akong mailagay na title. Anyway, pumunta ko ng Sugoi Cyber Cafe sa Balic-balic. 9pm na ko nakarating. Naabutan ko dun si Dan and Adz, at nakaalis na pala si Nico (Buti naman. joke) Binigay ko yung kopya ni Dan ng Original na pirated na "My Sassy Girl: Director's Cut". Tuwang-tuwa ang bata. Sa bagay, pangarap ko rin yun dati (i mean, My Sassy Girl DVD, that is). Syempre, buong gabi ako inalaska ni Bible as usual. Lagi naman e. Ok lang. Then... dumating si Alden for a visit. Tagal ko rin di nakita tong taong to. Aba, tumaba nga. Then nung 12:30am na, sumama ko sa bahay ni Alden sa Binondo. Ay grabe. Nakakatakot pala ang mga kalye dun sa madaling araw. Daming tambay, kala mo mahoholdap ka anytime. No offence sa mga taga dun, yun lang nakita ko e nung time na yun. Madaling araw, nandun ako sa bahay nila para mag burn ng GTO live action CDs. Alam ko nakakahiya, pero kailangan ko kasi later. Bigay ko kay Tere mamaya, luluwas mamayang hapon. Pinainom ako ng isang basong red wine ng mom ni Alden. Di naman malakas ang tama. Pero aaminin ko, konti lang. Alak pa rin yun. Nung natapos na kami, hinatid ako ni Alden sa sakayan ng Jeep sa Divisoria papuntang Baclaran. Bababa ako sa Pedro Gil, kung saan may jeep papunta sa amin. Grabe sikip ng jeep. Daming paninda sa palengke. Sa bagay, madaling araw yun. Ganun talaga. Umandar ang jeep at nakatulog ako. Mula sa Divisoria, biglang nagising ako. "OH MAY GASH! NASA BACLARAN NA KO! Noooooooooooooooo!" (sound na parang alulong ng aso) Pero syempre, sa isip ko lang yun. Di ko naman pwede gawin yun. Hayup na wine yan, nakatulog ako. Nagising ako na nasa state of shock. Tuliro. Muntik pa nga ko mabangga ng sasakyan e. Swerte ko na lang kasi, pag dating ko sa Baclaran, may jeep ako dun na nasakyan na papunta malapit sa amin. ...at may nagpadala sa kin sa email ng video ni Mahal. "OH MAY GASH! MY EYES! MY INNOCENT EYES!" Di ako na-arouse. |
Well, I'm not really angry with Mr. Tabulas. That's ok. The truth is, I am working on a new layout. So what can I say about Tabulas 2.0? WELL DONE! I love it! The interface is so easy to use. And I love the color schemes. I just have to learn the new tags. Too bad the smilies still doesn't work. I hope it gets back soon. |
I'm almost finished here, but there are still some bugs. I still can't handle the new Style sheet pattern. Good thing I somehow managed to learn the new tags. :D I still have to add the links, fix the fonts and colors of the comments (It's kinda little hard ya know). This layout is dedicated to all my friends. |
Last Saturday, I met Tere in Megamall. Last Tuesday, I failed my interview in West. For the past few days, I just stayed home. Too depressed to go out. Tomorrow, I'll be having ANOTHER job interview. Argh! Lots of things on my head, making me go crazy. |
The night before, I asked my sister how to get my butt on Libis, Q.C. E-telecare is located in Libis, and I don't have an idea how to get there. I woke up late. The exam and interview is supposed to be at 9:30am, and I woke up at 8am. Damn I'm late  . So I quickly prepared myself.When I got to a street going to Eastwood, I rode on a jeepney. To my surprise, Marynel was also riding on that passenger vehicle! What a coincidence. She works near that area. 10:30am. When I got on E-Telecare, the receptionist told me that they are not accepting late examinees that moment, and for those who are late, should reschedule their exam. I'll have it on Monday. After that misadventure, I wandered around the Eastwood mall. It's one weird mall. It was already 11am, but the shops and boutiques are still closed. Then I went to Recy's shop. There, I had a really good day with Adz, Dan, Nico & the rest of the guys. I wonder what's with Nico today. He's so gay. err... I mean he's so happy. He even treated us for dinner. Thanks Nico.  Gosh, I really love the new bottled drink called Tropicana Twister. It was so good that I had 3 bottles today. Addictive. Very addictive.

It was October of 2001 when I met this girl. A little wierd & vulnerable girl. I just ignored her back then. On the second time we met, we started to become friends. No. We did not become what you think. She become my bestfriend. And I truely accepted her as she is, and many are witnesses to our friendship. I really had great times with her. And there were times she really made me cry like a baby. She opens up her problems, so was I. Her whole family knows me, and they made me feel just like one of them. I've heard her voice crying over the phone, telling me her boyfriend broke up with her. I made her escape from her house on the time when she needed to go somewhere really important, but her family needs her on their house. She pinches me very hard when I made a practical joke on her or when she missed me. Those pinches resulted to nasty bruises that lasted for weeks (I mean it). I go with her everywhere, when she needs my direction if she needs to go to unfamiliar places. She always give me advice when I'm lost. I've known her years, and I almost knew how she thinks. But now, after a few months, everything changed. The communication became very rare (my fault), and that girl I used to know changed a lot. I guess we have some things to do on our own. She isn't open anymore. When I talk to her, I feel that she is hiding a lot of things from me. When she opens up, I feel that she doesn't what to be helped. I don't know her anymore.  Girl, I missed the old you.

...on call centers. Yesterday, I failed my interview on E-Telecare. Back there, I just realized that this career is not for me. I am giving my last shot on WEST. I'll apply there again (because it's near). If I fail, then so be it. When we received our results back there, everybody is smiling. I took a look on others' results, and it seems that everybody passed, except me. It felt really bad. Then I started to self-pity. But tears won't come out because deep inside, there's something telling me that self-pity is just one stupid thing to feel. It won't do anything good. But still, I really feel bad about it. I'm starting to doubt myself. I'll just go for other careers out there. |
Yesterday, I woke up at 8am. I've only slept for 3 hours that day. I have to wake up early because my friend Roy needs me to accompany him to SSS and BIR in Makati, then I have to fix computers for an internet cafe in Quiapo. Roy and I did a lot of walking around Ayala, Makati. We went to SSS.Then to BIR. We are not sure where is the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Makati. Overall, what we did is a complete failure. Why? When we went to BIR, They won't let him register because we learned that Roy should register in Parañaque, where he lives, not Makati. Then at SSS, they got a problem with his name. So, he's not yet an SSS member. After a few hours, I went on to San Miguel, Manila to fix PCs for an internet cafe. Everything went smoothly. And it gives me a good idea of a business while I still don't have a job...  I'll go make print ads with something like this, "Will fix you PC in your own home. Contact Ben at 0921####" then I'll post it everywhere in my neighbour. It may sound a little funny, but it will at least give me some cash while I'm still looking for a real job.

Yeah grabe di nakapag-online ang adik kahapon. I went to Roy's house and tried to get rid of all fraustrations. We went on a movie marathon, again. I rented Ali G. (boring), 28 Days Later (I don't like the ending), Spiderman 2 (GREAT!), The Uninvited (starring the girl from "My Sassy Girl" and the Carlo guy from "Lovers in Paris". Creepy, but I like it, especially the death scenes >:D), LXG(good movie). Masaya. Sarap magpakalimot paminsan-minsan. Trabaho ulit kinabukasan. |
I started watching the anime "Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou" a.k.a "Karekano". It's about a girl (Miyazawa Yukino) who strives for perfection and praises from others, until she met this boy (Arima Souichirou). Although Arima is not as vain as Miyazawa, they both share a common trait, wearing a mask in front of other people. Hypocricy. But when they met each other, they started to show their true selves, and started to fall for each other. A very nice story. But watching this triggered something on my mind. Lately I've started loving to hear "Gone" by Jim Chappell. And I played it over and over and I don't grow tired it. You know what? I always dreamed of playing this piece on a piano before I die. It's so hard to look for a copy of this piece. Unfortunately, there is only one person I know who have it, but I don't think she will give me a copy. Later, I have to go back to that CyberCafe to finish my job. Haaay grabe nakakasira ng ulo pala talaga pag wala kang taong kinakausap. Nakakulong lang kasi ako lagi dito sa bahay. |
Kahapon, galing ako ulit dun sa computer shop sa Quiapo para mag-ayos ulit ng PC. Nakaalis na ko dun ng 6pm. Nakakainis nga e. Dapat kasi magkikita kami ni Tintin dun para kunin yung blank CDs nya. Nakarating na ko sa Megamall ng 7:30pm. SA KASAMAANG PALAD, wala si Tintin , o si Adz, o si Nico, o kahit sino mang matuturing kong kaibigan dun. Shet. Nagpunta pala ko dun para sa wala. So nag-ubos na lang ako ng maraming token sa "Crazy Taxy". Hindi yun bump car o ride na sinasakyan ng bata. Video game po iyon. Pagkatapos nun, umalis na lang ako. At dahil sa sobrang bored talaga ako at gusto ko mag-isip, pag-baba ko ng bus sa Guadalupe,Makati , nag-stop over ako sa paglalakad sa tabi ng Pasig River at dun nag-muni-muni. Saya dun, puro basura at water Lily ang makikita mo. Pagkalipas ng isang oras, nagpatuloy ako sa 6 na kilometrong paglalakad pauwi ng aming bahay. |
OMG! I've applied on a company as a Web Page designer. But didn't noticed that they are requiring samples of my work portfolio in the interview. The bad thing is, I don't have one! I don't know what to do! And if I wanted to make one, I've only got 4 days! What am I going to do?  If didn't show up in the interview, they will ban my jobstreet account. I don't have any experience of applying for Web page designer or programmer, so I haven't foreseen that this problem would occur.

I need your honest opinion. From 1-10, please rate this wallpaper I made. (Ichigo Kurosaki, of anime "Bleach"). 10 is the highest. Or better yet, you can give me some suggestions. I need this picture for something important. Actually, I have to make more of this stuff, for my next interview. I am practicing my Photoshop skills. ------------- 1/27/2005 latest additions. Pls comment on these other works: 2. I made this from this idea from four pictures combined:  If you are wondering who am I in the picture, I'm the one in checkered shirt, killing that guy below. |
Kahapon, papunta ko sa shop ng kaibigan ko sa Balic-Balic. Nakasakay ako sa jeep sa may Pedro Gil at iniabot ko ang bayad ko sa mamang tsuper. Sais ang binigay ko, at dapat may sukli pa akong singkwenta sentimos. Hiningi ko ang bayad ko, pero super ignore lang ako ni mamang driver. Di ata ako narinig. Sumigaw ako. Wala pa rin. Biglang nagsalita yung ale sa harap ko. Sabi nya, "Baka di naka-abot yung bayad mo sa driver." "Bakit naman po?", sabi ko. Tinuro nung ale yung lalaki sa likod nung driver. Nakita daw nya kasi kanina pa yung lalaki na kinukupit daw yung bayad ng mga pasahero, di na umaabot sa driver yung ibang bayad. Pero makaraan ang ilang minuto, sinigawan ko na ulit yung driver at kinuha ko ang sukli ko. Hindi ko naman talaga alam kung kinuha nung lalaki yung bayad ko e. Basta alam ko nagbayad ako. Pero... ganun na ba talaga ka-hirap ang Pilipinas? Hanggang sa huling barya, nanakawan ka na ng kapwa mo? |
I started my day at 12pm, tried to finish a webpage and I tried to make a new picture with Photoshop. I finished it all by 3:30pm, and hurried to my interview at Eye Desire in Ortigas, Pasig. And whoa! I saw the world's biggest photo mosaic in Guadalupe, Makati! It's so amazing! When I got there, there are so many applicants. While waiting, I had a talk with a pretty applicant. She is a graphic artist. She really amazed me with stories about her work. She is currently working on a company, where she edits a lot of photos for American-based clients. That gave me an idea. The job is so irresistable that I have to get the contact info from her (I even got her number. w00t!). I will apply for that job (wow. suddenly, Benj becomes a graphic artist). New career? I know, I still have to learn a lot before becoming a very good graphic artist. But... WHAT THE HELL! hahahahaha! Then after a long chat, the interviewer just suddenly decided to get the samples of portfolio from all the remaining applicants and did not continue to interview the webpage designers and graphic artists. They said that they will just call us if they like our work. I went to SM Megamall. There, I met Adz, Retsu, Bea, Mike, and Ojie. I had fun playing Guitar freaks and watching the rest of the guys play their favorite games. Then I had a talk with Bea. She told me that she had been reading this blog. She said, "Don't worry, all things happen for a reason, no matter how terrible it is." She's talking about by fraustrations on my job hunting. I replied, "Don't worry. I maybe sad about it, but I am not blaming God for it. It happens." My stand: You don't have to be converted to a new religion. As long as a man doesn't change himself for the better, no religion can ever save him. |
...I was walking on a street near Nagtahan bridge, a gang of six stopped me from walking. The leader said, "Mamâ, wag ka dumaan dyan! Gugulpihin ka namin! (Don't go that way! We'll beat you up!)". Then, I just looked at them and continued walking. Stupid 5-year-olds... |
I've learned that Tabulas is now not allowing free users to access their archives. So, I'm moving out to LiveJournal or Blogger. |
