dek-a-doodle-dandy

adik ako. adik ka rin.

i still bemoan the delays with my back pay, to which payroll has nothing to do with. as such, i am so bankrupt.

i appreciate the little things that make work tick. although i still have to figure out the right way to fix my sleep break. (i have been reminded about that). i do not have a specific account yet, but i have some likeable work that i can manage and also helping / assisting my "mentor"

details about my work will come in another post.

adik na adik tayong lahat.

a few favors.

a friend of mine texted me and needed help as she needed people to go watch the movie (world without thieves) as seen on your left.

saturday was great. you know you passed, then you know you have breakfast and then you know you will have a great time at night (regardless of the idea that i missed my team-building). i can give you 361 reasons.those were the ones i was with that afternoon.

and yes, i got myself new socks.

and yes, i rocked the boat somehow.

the 44th one

the man has been inaugurated. massive crowds. twas a sight to behold. i relished the chance to listen to it (i was able to listen to it).

funny anecdote:

at the commander-of-chiefs ball, he managed to speak to a select group of military in afghanistan from his home state. an avid sports fan, he asked if they were for the chisox or for the cubs. out of the 8, only 2 of them were. one was a cardinals fan, the rest were cubs fans. :p

it is a watershed moment

The Nin9 is now the Se7en

the picture on the right is what i got from cigarette girl. i claimed it last monday.

i will take care of it.

anyway, why the se7en? well, two of my fellow wavemates decided to leave. it kind of saddened the group as a whole. most showed their emotion. even our manager had to speak to the team.

at least they left in good terms and if they ever want to go back, they are welcomed.

life is great so far. i am looking forward to lucena. cant really go out and the fact that there are a lot of interesting gigs really kill me. alas, that is work for you. hehehe...

next looks good. especially at route196 saturday night. (baka nga magkaconflict dahil sa office night out being proposed)

Championship weeked beckons with Cardinals vs Eagles and Steelers vs Ravens

pardon the sappiness.

after all the things, it is really something that fostered good company. and i miss that company. things have been very different. very isolated and alone. parang kulang. parang may nawawala.

there is a sense of longing and search for warmth. a warmth that would allow me to release a true essence that is being myself.

if you do not understand, it is meant to be misunderstood.i kinda feel cryptic lately.

blame the song from the one tree hill soundtrack that is on rx. ditto for the fray.

you found me

that is my current LSS mode. i love how the fray seems to touch my inner psyche and turn my sappy emotional self loose. dahil lang siguro sa kanya at malaki ang pagpapahalaga ko....

***

one week has passed and the training looks a little bit more challenging. i see myself in the light and trying to harness it. work looks good so far.

****

read up on a lot of interesting posts over the past few hours.... the legendary .... atenista ka pa rin retort to lourds' classic album title of radioactive sago project, the issue in CDO (please assist the Sanggunian in their efforts). and yes, even the fabled mcdo commercial feat. some band who will be rendering march 7, 2009 inert.

****

cannot believe the shock out of the system.

post-week whoa

http://www.filipinovoices.com/writing-project-unfinished-business

DS Majors. Sir Leland, this is something they might be interested.

*****

work has been good. it may be a little bit tough as it looks, but it is all good and great. :) it is merely challenging my senses.

for sir leland: jesse guerrero of batch 2002 is one of the managers. he will be on day shift, i will be on the night shift.

*****

the date of the eraserheads' 2nd set is set. mag-ipon na kayo. i cannot wait for the box set. also, i missed out on a certain event last night. work can be a hindrance if you think of it that way.

****

i miss you, girl. :) (bahala na kayong mang-intriga kung sino...)

the new era and the Nin9

tonight is going to be day 2 of the adventures of me at PSG Global Solutions. i hope that i relish the chance and opportunity that i am going to be in. it is something i will be cherishing in the near future. the Nin9 looks good.

i know my friends are either at Ten02 (mishka) or at Capone's (jorel and kjwan) or at G4 Cinema 6 (rx), so have fun wherever you are.

share stories and morning glories.

****
2009 brought intrigues and controversy agad. the contiuation of the valley golf mess, the alabang boys, to the new version of the intifada @ gaza. violence is the norm. i hope peace remains and a positive (but just) resolution is in play....

revolver has a gig on january10. that is interesting. thanks jeff for the heads up. i will repost it on our fave egroup.

***

please continue to assist in the anabel fundraisers. 75k was raised in bigsky mind, which is step 1 of the process. see my post re the gig sked for more details.

all for a free book.... this is addressed to a cigarette-girl

this is based from this link: http://cigarette-girl.com

out of the books that are in the list, i would like to avail of the Tuesdays With Morrie.

What is the reasoning behind the book of choice? One, i like inquisitive and thought provoking reading. It evokes an intuitive self and makes you think about life and meaning. Second, when your favorite philiosophy professor places it as part of the highly encouraged reading list, it is a given that you ought to make an effort to read it. It was something I never got to do then and something that i would like to do now.

I do hope that the cigarette girl would let me have her book. I will take good care of it.

mewi made my day, kaya alembong, alembong....

still woozy and tired from the party @ Cafe La Carmela (pics coming soon)

i was really surprised with her arrival. i talked to her before on plurk and she remarked that she was staying in aussieland for another year before she goes back here. i was so giddy. :) hope to see you a little bit more before you leave.

i realized that i cannot match willie revillame's hosting, but i do kinda have a knack for it. mas magaling pa rin si mhyk, though.

and yes, pagod ako. malamang may kumuha ng picture na tulog ako. wag niyo na akong lokohin. hahahaha....

happy new year! one day down, two more to go....

alembong. alembong.
