out of necessity

what happened during the past week?


i managed to have the opportunities to watch the UAAP games. with a preference for watching live (although ngayon eh i'll watch sa tv at i have something to do). kahit hindi ateneo ang naglalaro, dahil wala lang. i just love it.


so far, ateneo is 1-1, with feu waiting for us later. hopefully they'll do well.


i managed to visit school (medyo madalas ngayon). i kinda miss it. kakainggit nga at wala silang pasok dahil sa SONA. oh well.


salat sa pag-ibig, pero wala naman akong magawa. but things might be looking up, i hope.


kaaliw ang pakikinig ko ng RX lately... i am loving it. :p


god willing, something new will be added into my life.

revisiting org lifestyle...

ang sarap balikan ang nakaraan, especially when you love it so much, when you gave you heart into it (and then some).


yun yung iniisip ko noong nasa Gabay Orsem ako. baka yun yung iisipin ko sa ACIL BOS (kung pupunta ako) saya, no? meeting the new members rejuvenated me when i was in college, and i am still somehow in the dark... trying to figure out kung ano na role ko, as i gradually fade out from being involved in the college scene.


bad trip, talo ateneo vs la salle. pero it's early pa. hopefully, we could bounce back.

for updating purposes...

nothing much to talk about...


things went pretty much ordinary sa office, although there was an not-so-good experience yesterday. pakirmadam ko e their patience is wearing thin.


as for other things...


daming gulo sa lipunan, daming isyu. daming problema, and my biggest fear is that i am becoming more and more cynical. ayaw ko ng ganun.


i also saw a old hand in HPAIR, si liz. managed to get reacquainted a bit. hope to see her again soon. got to see elmi as well.


oh and yes, sa mga nag-iisip pa riyan, i advice you not to go to the rallies just yet. lets wait and see what the Church does next. advice yan ni sir leland.

friday dinner and a saturday movie, thievery to boot.

friday:


natuloy na rin yung dinner bash ko. spent that at Congo Grille. almost everybody that i wanted to be there was there.


managed to thieve a wooden panel.


saturday


the DSWS held its mini-reunion. kaunti nga lang kaming pumunta. ang set-up nito is that of a monthly affair. i sacrificed watching the la salle - ateneo basketball classic. after hearing what jay and cary had to say about it. that was a good thing.
nood kami ng War of the Worlds. medyo mei kulang sa movie, ewan. basta kulang.


mei planong mag-Sagada sa November. i like that idea. maybe, yayain ko yung mga close friends ko.


btw, this is the first time i watched a movie sa gateway. also managed to thieve a jollibee number (yung ibinibigay sa you pag naghihintay ka ng order mo)


other things on my mind


pakiramdam ko, the honeymoon is over between some of my officemates. i can somehow feel the tension. what's the good thing? i could care less, really. as long as i feel safe around here, i'll be fine.


i look forward to watching herbie and the fantastic four. maybe pinoy blonde.


mharleen joyce


to those who recognize that name, i managed to catch a little glimpse of, and a slight conversation with, her. kasama niya ang long-time niyang bf na si k.ralph. they watched an eariler viewing of war of the worlds. i haven't seen her since my birthday in the year 2000, noong second year pa ako. nagkaroon naman ng laman ang kanyang thin frame, hehe... she still is bedazzling, though. most especially now that naka-contacts na siya. hopefully, our paths would cross again.

the lull....

actually, i am in a lull. lull in such a way that this is my first post after turning 23. lull in a way wherein i have to wait for a friend para mag-pakain, hehehe... :)


anyhow, this week marked the first week in the 6 am to 2 pm shift. mahirap gumising ng maagang-maaga, pero at least i have a lot of possible gimmick time in my hands.
natuto na rin akong mag-taxi. kailangan eh, dahil kung hindi, i'll be late.


this week also saw me finally taking advantage of my free netopia coupons. i had four of them, thining that i could manage to use em all. but, they told me that i could only use one coupon, with a maximum of 2 per day. so, i was shuttling netopia branches at shopwise and fairmart to use my 4 coupons.


afterwards, i treated mom with a feast sa kenny rogers. i just love her so much. she's the greatest. i also bought addt'l clothing para sa work.


i have been eager to learn about the nba draft, as well as what is happening regarding "gloriagate".


lastly, looking forward to a positive future.
