office angst...

some people in the office act like he is my boss. umaasta e. hay naku! you won't earn respect from me that way.

bahala ka sa buhay mo, idiot!


some people nga naman, nagagalit sa mga mababaw na bagay. this is ludicirous.


at least, noong pumunta ako sa gabay room, masaya na ako. thanks sa mga taong nakinabang sa libre ko. thank you sa iyo. you always make my day.

something positive, in the light of...

kudos to the gads for performing well in the rhythm in blue contest. kayo pa rin ang wagi. (ray, kalil, grandsoul james, tina, bon, anj, mading, jinno).


kudos to the gabay members of cads for their splendid performance in their concert. (clang, ayee)


kudos to the graduating blue eagles, thank you for the memories. from the bottom of every atenean's hearts. (la, badjie, magnum)

sick... sad... depressed... thoughts on great-grandma..

agonizing...


that was my feeling today. galing ako sa libing ng aking great-grandmother. today, when there were four key ateneo games and as far as i know, we lost 2. after a while, i got a fever letting that negative emotion sink in. couldn't even visit atenista.net right now.


anyhow, i remember when i was very young. my mother would take me to lawton. doon, nakikita ko si nanay (yun ang tawag ko sa kanya). meron siyang maliit na tindahan roon. i recall playing around the big expanse of lawton, sa ilalim ng lrt, being ignorant of my surroundings. my mom once told me na dumadaan siya roon noong nag-aaral pa siya sa Arellano U. i always remember nanay pag dumadaan ako roon. even moreso now.


i also recall visiting her in cavite, where she lived. kasama ko mga kamag-anak ko from my mother's side.


i'll miss you nanay. more than what you think. enjoy your stay there.

the sensation of feeling ill in a weird quirk

kagabi, para akong nangangatog. i felt cold. unang beses pa lang akong nagkaganito in a long time.


kaya yun, i lay myself in bed. then, dumating si mommy. nalaman kong pumanaw na yung great-grandmother ko (mother side) of old age. sa biyernes ang libing, if i am right. medyo pangit timing dahil may fgd ako sa opis ng 8pm later, tapos ateneo-ue tomorrow, then friday yung last ga and gads competition. however, tignan natin kung papaano ko maikakasya sa sked ko. the most likely thing is that i'll go to the wake on thursday after watching ateneo-ue. that'll be the only time i'll go there.


eto ako ngayon, medyo matamlay. i feel so weak. nanghihina. sabi ko nga sa opismate ko, di ako inspired.


ewan. pagod na ako.


btw, kewl ng mga bossing kong expats. astig.

party hard!

managed to party hard last sunday night...


the company that i work turned 1, and we had a party that night at the phi bar in metrowalk. 70s theme siya.


it started at 7pm, and it twas a groovy show, and i mean groovy. the presentations were cool. kakain-love pa nga yung ibang office mates ko in their get-up. sayawan after the presentation, at parang rave disco ang dating.


i left mga 1230am ng monday, and followed some of my officemates who went to the nearby oysterboy. patuloy ang kasiyahan hanggang 230 roon. then i went back to the office para mag-pahinga, cause i had to work come 6am. (that's why hindi ako uminom) in other words, hindi na naman ako umuwi ng bahay at umidlip na naman sa opis. grabe na ito!


nasa bahay na ako by mga 9pm. saya, no?

the long and tiring road

kapagod ang lahat...


i am sick and tired of seeing the political madness going on... i am frustrated... kakaasar and buhay, puro kabwisitan. hopefully, whatever happens, things will go back to normalcy.


i had a long day noong sabado...


9am - nakahabol sa team b game ng ateneo vs nu. we won by 12, although coach gabby was disappoined with how the team performed. also able to purchase shirt there.


12nn - arrived at ateneo to have lunch.


1230pm - went inside blue eagle gym. purchased ateneo jerseys. watched how simon atkins looks and plays like chris tiu. watched how we lost to ust, and how dlsu won over the maroons.


7pm - dinner at jollibee aurora-katipunan.


8pm - went to office to rest


9pm - office basketball game


12mn - got home.


before that, i took my essay exam with the Presidential Management Staff. I am now also affiliated with the Ahead Tutorial people as a part-time tutor.


thinking about my lovelife can also be so tiring, too. i wish i could have someone special around.


ah... ewan...
