in bullet points
November 28, 2007
it's been a while, well not exactly as i made a short post during adcongress. but then again, it was more of a rant against the world than a decent post to tell how i've been, whether im still alive or did i manage to kill someone already.
and since its been quite some time, and a lot of things had happened, i'd like to share them to you in bullet points. hehe! tamad.
- spent weekend before last in pampanga to celebrate erwin, boyp's friend, 's birthday. (photos to follow)
- ate PIG BREASTS for the first time. it was milky, and soft... but i don't fancy eating them on a daily basis.
- had my first BURO as well. it's fermented fish and rice. but i can only have a small serving. alam nyo naman, ang allergies...
- was an official delegate of the
20th advertising congress. (photos to follow)
- went to subic for the first time. arrived with 3 luggages, went home with 5. hehe!
- (cont. of previous post) didn't get to send that stupid material, which made me hate the world. i wanted to put that stupid PC to flames! instead, i did what i do best. i cried. pota. i can never stop my tears when im frustrated, which ends up to doubling my frustation. pwe!
- enjoyed neil gaiman's session so much. the essence of what he discussed, you can read
here now im a gaiman convert!
- missed
this (and
here is the other version of it)
- also enjoyed the session conducted by someone from JWT (sorry, haven't had a sip of coffee during the time he was introduces, so no luck in remembering anything important) about creating magic in advertising.
- partied till 5 in the morning, walked back to the hotel semi-sober. hehe!
- went to SBYC to wait for the shuttle but ended up boarding a yatch and taking alot of photos (again, to follow)
- experienced Ryan's Nikon D40 (tama ba) and took silly pictures (it really is much harder when it's dark)
- had a
near death experience, fine. asthma attack lang actually. all because of lola's "don't cha" routine and alladin and princess jasmine's comeback. *wink*
- saw a monkey, and felt something else, (this sounds so green.haha!) at the forest hills rented apartment of our other officemates.
- didn't win on any of the raffles (im so unlucky. boo!) but t'was SO MUCH FUN!
now i'm back in the office, doing a lot of backlog from the 5 days that we were away. tomorrow we're off to Avilon Zoo for our BU Day (gawd, maybe it's our last. hay..) i'm in no position to disclose anything yet, at least not until 4 this afternoon.
oh and yeah, it's our 17th month. happy bunny, bunny. HAHA! Anlabo. i'll have a separate post for that soon.

Anong mararamdaman mo...
November 15, 2007
BABALA: Wag basahin bago o habang kumakain. kids, overshare ito, sinasabi ko na. pero kailangan kong markahan ang araw na to, Nov 14 2007. Pano kung pag gising mo isang umaga, nagrerebolusyon ang tyan mo. pagbaba mo, CR ang derecho mo. paglabas mo, nalaman mong nagbaha sa sala nyo dahil may butas pala ang lalagyan ng tubig nyo. minop mo ng minop, pero bawat ilang minuto ay kinakailangan mong magbanyo para magbawas, ng magbawas, ng magbawas. matagal bago mo natapos mapunasan yung baha dahil nga maya't maya natigil ka para mag-CR. nung natapos mo, sasabunin mo na yung mop, wala na palang sabon. umakyat ka para kumuha ng pera. nung pababa ka, dahil nagrerebolusyon nanaman ang tyan mo, nagmadali ka. sa katangahan, nakalimutan mong basa ang tsinelas mo, at madulas yun kung basa. nangyari ang inaasahan, nadulas ka sa ikatlong baitang at inisa isa ng pwet mo ang mga sumunod na baitang bago ka lumanding sa sahig. di ka nakatayo at naiyak ka nalang, di mo alam kung dahil katawa tawa yung nangyari sayo o sa inis kasi nga, antanga mo, bakit di ka nagpalit ng tsinelas?
nang maayos mo na ang lahat, pero ramdam mo parin yung init kung san humampas yung hagdan sa pwet mo, umupu ka. pero maya maya, iikot nanaman ang pwet mo at kukulo ang tyan mo. ni di ka makakain, pinipilit mong uminom para mapalitan yung mga nilalabas mo. sa mga oras na to, tubig na ang nalabas. pakiramdam mo ginahasa ka ng 10 lalakeng panget sa pwet. (kailangan panget, para mas triple ang sama ng loob, diba?) buong araw ka ganito. sinubukan mong kumain, pero tuyo ang lalamunan mo. mahirap lumunok. at nung kinalaunan nga, isinuka mo ren lahat ng kinain mo. akala mo mamamatay ka na. mamamatay kang may pasa sa pwet. hindi ba't kay gandang alaala?andami mong reklamo. yung butas na lalagyan ng tubig, yung madulas na tsinelas, yung toilet na kailangan ng tulong ng manual flush, yung payless at skyflakes na hirap na hirap kang malunok,yung upuang kulang sa lambot, yung tyan mong ayaw umayos...
tapos mapapanood mo yung isang tindera ng kwekkwek na nakatira sa kwadra ng baboy kasama ang asawa nya at 4 na anak.
p********, reklamo ka ng reklamo, eh swerte ka pa nga!
ayus sa kabig no, pero humagulgol ako dahil jan, well, pati na ren kasi lambot na lambot na ko...tapos nung naisip ko na tubig din ang luha, tinry ko pigilin.pinagdasal ko nalang sila.
buti rin pumunta si boyps. salamat sa lugaw at sa saging at sa gamot at sa gatorade at sa pagpilit sakin uminom at kumain.

she said, Listen!
November 13, 2007
got to experience beyonce, the poly pocket size beyonce, that is. the ticket we got were patron B, but then it was so far from the stage, beyonce could've fitted comfortably inside my hand. and it didn't help that there were a lot of hulabaloos smack in the middle front of the stage, just behind the VIP area. the first time she went out, i only saw the lower part of her body. ayus. but still, it was a free ticket (thanks sir anthong) kaya who cares!
so my officemates and i just took pictures of ourselves, enjoyed the music, made fun of each other and people there and contented ourselves with beyonce on screen.
muntik pang di makauwi, the taxi drivers are so evil. good thing the fort bus management decided to make special trips that night. we got home safely. all in all, minus the miniature factor, the show was great. i just wished i googled the lyrics of all her songs first before we went. i could only sing the old destiny's child songs and "to the left, to the left" of irreplaceable. i must've looked like a poser, but who cares!
hotness si beyonce. wish i can perform like her.
+++
night after that was the Agency idol.
a big *WOOTWOOT* to SOPHIE!!! GARABEEEE!! IDOOOLLL!! she won 2nd place, but who cares! (ive said who cares for the 3rd time in this entry) everyone there knew she won unang kanta palang nya. yeeeeeessss.. but really, she did an incredible performance, beyonce would be proud.(she sang listen, and listen, we all did) all our hearts were beating so fast before she started her piece, her manager, Ken, leading the drumroll of heartbeats. but the moment she went on stage, ah wala na...kebs kung gumuho ang venue, dumagundong ang cheer ng PHD. hehehehehe!
now we have the big checks displayed in our lobby, more than a hundred photos, video full of screams (the video best exemplify the phrase, "nanginginig nginig pa" hehehe!), hundreds more of fun memories and an idol, who won 2nd, but was 1st in everyone's hearts and ears. sosyal!
(sop, RH lang...hahahah! )

the weekend was steady, monday was ok (but i didn't win in the raffle, sayang, marvin got the prize i wanted), and today? let's just say i'm dying to get this day over with. "sabits" drain me, small or big, it's still humiliating.
hay.
looking forward to "one more chance" tomorrow though. hahahahaha! baduy na kung baduy, si papa john lloyd yun!

Hangover
November 05, 2007
not because i was bingeing on alcohol again. to be quite honest, i never had a drop of alcohol in my body during the last week.
this is due to 9 non stressful days -- that is if you don't count the night when my mom found out someone stole alot of her jewelry, but more on that later. For the past 9 days, I got to sleep till i had to eat lunch, finish 3 books (that's really not much, i could read more but i was too lazy so i read really really slowly), learn how to bake, danced my ass off (c/o Fitness First's Retro Jive Class), did yoga, used the PC just to play games (no blogging, just lurking around the world wide web), sleep some more, and eat some more too, then sleep again. i didn't even watch alot of TV, which is highly unlike me. but this is mostly because my sisters or cousin is playing PS and I'm too lazy to drag myself to the other room (yes, we still share one room). and besides, there's nothing good to watch.
anyway, days into the hiatus, peace was broken. i remember stepping out of the shower, hearing my mom talking non-stop on the phone about something missing. moments later, she broke the news, a lot of her jewelries, and some of mine (from when i was a child since i don't really wear jewelry) went missing. the good news is that not everything was taken. the bad news is that not everything was taken -- this can only mean that someone from the house took it. coz if we were really robbed, then they would've taken the whole bag. (you might be thinking, doesn't my mom have a locked safe to keep all this? my thoughts exactly)
my mom's prime suspect is a house help who recently left us. apparently, this was not the first time something went missing. before, my dad would lose 500 bux in almost a daily basis. (i can't even get 10s without asking them!) so again, why didn't they get a safebox for the important documents and jewelries, i really don't know. and no one really gets to go inside their room besides family and our ex-house help whenever she cleans the room.
a police report has been filed. i told my mom to check if they can still get finger prints from the bag, just so we'll have more proof. she says she only wants them to be returned, should someone admit to the crime. she doesn't really want anyone to go to jail for it, but our ex-househelp's so near to getting locked up if she can't prove that she didn't take it. the damage still is worth thousands of pesos.
i have another suspect though, but i don't know. too early to tell. i need that fingerprint. there are too many issues surrounding that person, i don't want to cause tension when i shouldn't have to.
anyway, the case is still unsolved. i'll have to do another post when the results come out.
spent the halloween baking till 2am so we'll have baon for the long trip the next day. nov 1 itinerary was to go to 2 cemeteries and go back home before 10pm (my mom don't want our new house help left alone for more than a day. paranoia is at its worst for my mom that week. kahit naman ata sino.)
went to Alfonso first, ate andoks chicken during the record breaking fastest lunch by a family of 5 plus two. stayed there for a few hours, prayed for my lolo. then off we went to Naic. eventhough the 2 provinces fall under the same area code, i felt like i traveled to another end of the country.
If in Alfonso there were just a few of us, in Naic, our "house" at the cemetery was jampacked. There were 4 cute babies, a dozen crazy toddlers and kids, and a couple of dozen more adults. it was like a reunion everyday there.
anyway, it was but a short trip. we went home shortly after eating dinner. then i was back to my sleeping-eating-baking-staring-at-the-wall self. which i carried to the office today, causing a non productive day, except maybe sending some emails and managing print placement, my day was a blur. my head is aching because i've been forcing it to restart the whole day today. and I'm nauseous from all the processed air and fumes of the city streets. in short, a hangover.
gawd i hope this wears off tonight. i can't afford to be nonproductive tomorrow. i have deadlines. XP
welcome back, kid.
