wala pa rin update on my status sa possible work venue... i mean parang wala man lang nagsasabi kung ok na ba ako... haay...

anyway, i managed to drop in on ACIL week festivities... masarap yung food sale, the movie was good (even though i never actually managed to watch the movie itself), and the culminating activity was great.

kudos to the heads of these activities

kia, miggy, joyce, benj

and to the rest of the ACIL Week core... job well done.

caroling concerns: haay... kelan kaya ako pwedeng sumama sa caroling?

also, ano kaya ang pwede kong ibigay sa aking "baby" sa kris kringle?

onwards to some personal concerns:

ang hirap talaga ng merong notion like having your reputation preceding your presence. it is so hard to let others know who you are as a person, then someone (whether you know it or not) tells others about your reputation. i just wish people should let me be me... and let them decide, for themselves. i know they'll use the "i'm just safeguarding them" argument, and that's pure bull.

sometimes i feel isolated. napag-iwanan ng panahon, parang "they could care less". ewan ko ba. maybe it is more on how i should handle myself as an alum, and its difference compared to before. it is a struggle, but something i should live through and confront.

anyway, i love hungry heart.

hei hei hei

gusto kong batiin ang isa kong kaibigan...

cathy, happy birthday! tutal, 5th months old na rin ako... let's celebrate!

also, jomar (+) happy birthday rin... may you rest in peace, dude!!!!!

masaya talaga dito sa ateneo. alam mo yun, meron ka nang attachment sa lugar na ayaw mong lumisan. i just absolutely love ateneo.

i managed to get my former officemate's debt back. kaya lang, mauubos rin. as for you know, magulo na nga eh mas nagiging magulo pa.

narito ako sa itaas ng escaler, nakikigamit ng pc. thanks pala sa mga dudes dito. you're cool! saya talagang magkaroon ng mga friends in "high" places. hehehe.

btw, lss na ako kay kitchie, and crush ko si jojo (yung kumanta ng leave).

as for commish's decision, i respect it. he did the right thing. it may have been overrated, but he had no choice.

basta, magulo pag-iisip ko ngayon.

whilst i am in the realm of unemployment, nagagawa ko na ulet ang pagtatambay ko sa ateneo. going to ateneo really means a lot to me. i just love its atmosphere. haaay... i miss being with the people i was with in college. i treasure it so much...

naliligayahan din ako dahil sa mga ilang pagbabago...

si kia, niyaya ako sa acil party (tipong culminating activity sa acil week.)

two former officemates, also did likewise... in fact, we got together earlier today... i had so much fun being with them. it was great. nakakaligalig.

the incredibles was a great movie. it was so funny and wonderful. loved it. hehehe...

i can't wait for cars due in 2005 or 6.

as for other things...

1. detroit - indiana brouhaha: big ben overreacted vs artest, as the foul was not as hard. fan overreacted as a result, which resulted into artest's reaction. sheessh... this is one big black eye to the nba. tsk tsk tsk...

2. chase for the championship: down to the homestead race. still betting on jeff gordon... you can do it...

3. nfl situation, doing well in half of my leagues, not so with the others... i just hope to make it by the playoffs...

happy birthday po to the Ateneo Catechetical Instruction League!!!

i have great memories of my org, i learned a lot of things from there, whether they are positive or negative.

anyway, i am somehow enjoying my state of unemployment. hinihintay ko lang kung ano ang kakahinatnan ng application ko for Admission Officer sa OAA. gusto ko talagang magtrabaho under the auspices of the Ateneo. j'adore l'Ateneo de Manille. that is how much Ateneo means to me, especially being with the people i care.

masaya ako ngayon dahil nararamdaman ko that the old wounds are healing, or healed. thanks i guess for keeping my distance, as well as time. thanks sa inyo (you know who you are). sana ganoon nga.

nagtataka lang ako sa aking former officemate, bakit biglaan ang kanyang pagbabago ng pag-uugali. bakit kaya? tama ba ang aking hinala? meron kaya akong ginawa? i wish she could have explained it to me...

ipagpatawad mo...

medyo natanggap ko na yung paglisan ko sa Petix... parang ako ang naging mitsa sa mga teammates ko, na susunod sa aking yapak at aalis din. sana, sama-sama pa rin kami. pina-pagalitan pa nga nila ako, bakit ganito, bakit ganyan. pero null and void. kaya para sa kanya, "and now, the end is near..."

nba season na... basketball na ulet... go clippers, hehehe!!!

one word capsulates the week:


i feel the misery of losing a job / leaving... but kung hindi ka na masaya doon, bakit ka pa mananatili? i will miss my officemates, but they understand.

i am grateful to the people who have been with through all these months. i enjoyed the ride. hope you did, too.
