T. G. I. F.

Finally, it's Friday once again! I just love Fridays. I'm looking forward to some gimmicks tonight or tomorrow or just spontaneous bumming around the house. I just love the thought of days-off, and speaking of day-off that means after 5 sleepless nights i'll be able to slumber in peace again at night time... errr do i really get some sleep at night time during my off???? yes, of course! At times, when everybody's having the you're-not-that-rich-days. hehehe. Anyway, I hope to meet those people I met last Saturday. And again, we'll have our movie marathon but this time it's not gateway, we'll try the imax cinema at the mall of asia. I would be more than willing to pay even more than a hundred bucks if it's a 3d screen you know. It'll be a different movie experience.

Oh, I almost forgot we'll also have our company outing on Monday, it'll be held at Club Manila East at Taytay, Rizal. Hope to have a great time there, and I'm hoping against hope that we won't have work Monday night. Huh. Wish us luck... 'coz it'll be very hard for us nocturnal workers. Sigh.

I Am Thankful and Happy!

I don't know why but I just feel so happy! I could sing my heart out because of my happiness! Though right now I'm facing some problems, and I can say BIG problems but still I am very much happy for I know that these problems are here to mold my being. And why I shouldn't be happy? There are so many things that I should be thankful for. I have a steady job, I can get almost all the things that I want, and I got all the time in the world to surf the net! Hehehehe. See how shallow I am? :P Its just that I learned that waking up every morning is more than enough reason to be thankful for. Don't you just love living? I do, so much! I just love every single day of my my life, no matter what kind of day I'm facing 'coz I know that I can overcome whatever obstacle that hinders my way. And also, there are just so many things that brings joy our lives, we just don't notice it but often times these are just the simple things around us that we fail to notice 'coz we are just so busy longing and wanting for the things that we don't have. And also I got a bunch of good or should I say great friends that will help me along the way. My best friends that are willing to accept me for who I am, and are always there to listen to my thoughts and musings. And of course my family who are always there to back me up.

These are some of the people that played a part in my life:

1. Family... Mama, kuya, papa, mom & dad (grandparents), my li'l brother Miko.

2. Friends

Got a New Template

Got a new template! Actually, it's my first time to make one. I'm not totally impressed with the outcome but I'm not dissappointed though, it's not bad for first timers. Hehehe. I just felt like making a header with a touch of my province, Zamboanga and some hibiscus of different colors and sizes, this flower (hibiscus) just reminds me of summer and beach! Although summer is almost over, I still want to keep my template this way to keep the memories of summer alive.

Anyway, our plan to have a fieldtrip didn't push through 'coz Red texted us Friday night that he can't make it for some reasons. So, K'Anne and I decided to just postpone our plans though we're very much excited 'bout it. Sigh. Well, that's life.

Though, our little field trip didn't push through i still had a blast last Saturday night, I went out along with my brother and cousin. We went to Common Ground in Malate. We were so lucky because we were not able to pay for the entrance fee, only for the booze and food that we had. My cousin and I were dancing all night and my brother was our 'baggage boy', he just stayed at our table and watch for our things while I and my cousin were dancing the night away! Hehehe. What a brother I have! :)

Wee Wee Weekend!

Yey! I'm just a few hours before my week will be over! Yippee! Isn't that great? I just love Fridays and Saturdays, it's because of the reason: my rest days! But honestly, I don't get to rest because during these times I'm out partying or just loittering around with friends or with family and also these are the times that I get to go shopping. Who said shopping is a destressor? Come to think of it shopping is tiring because it recquires a lot of thinking on what stuff are you going to buy specially when you're on the you're-not-that-rich-days (e.g. a week after allowance or payday), not only that shopping also recquires a lot of energy when carrying your shopping bags! See? I told you shopping isn't relaxing, but even though I love shopping still. (ang labo noh)

Anyway, here are my plans for the weekend:
(at no particular order)

1. First, I'll clean my room, fix my things... and re-arrange my stuff.

2. I and 2 of my teammates will be having a 'fieldtrip', we're going anywhere our feet would bring us. Hehehe. Seriously, we already have our itinerary in mind but I'm not going to tell you, somebody might jinx it. But I'll post it here if we'll pursue.

3. My brother and I will have a movie marathon this weekend. We often watch 3 movies a day. We're such movie buffs.

4. I'll go shopping, of course I never fail to do that even if I'm on my you're-not-so-rich-days and even though I swore a hundred times that I'll do this only twice a month, but I'm only human. What can I do a girl like me just loves shopping sooooooooooo much! Period.

I just wish 1 and 2 will be realized, but I think #2 does have 99% chances that will be realized because K'Anne told us that this must, rain or shine! On the other hand, #1 have 40% chances of being realized because just thinking about it now makes me feel really tired... Ahhhh... But #s 3 & 4 there's only 1% chance of... not coming true! Heheheh. I almost got you there.

Everyone, have a great weekend ahead of you! 'Hope we'll all have a blast! I'm just a very, very happy girl! Lalalalalalalalalala.. Weekends!

Thank God for Paulo

I'm done reading Eleven Minutes and it took me 3 days to finish the book because I'm on a night shift and its really hard to do some reading when i get home from work when I'm already tired and very sleepy. But still, I managed to finish it in 3 days! Good for me! The book is really great! And as always, Paulo Coelho never fails to fascinate and hypnotize me with his works. He made me journey with Maria from her small town in the interior of Brazil, to Copacabana, to Geneva, Switzerland and Paris. How she struggled to achieved her dreams, from being a young, pretty innocent girl to an intellectual prostitute. And how she learned from every mistake she made in life. And finally, how she found herself and her love.

If you love reading, i suggest you read this book. I'm also planning to read Veronika Decides to Die and The Zahir (works of P.Coelho) on my day-off.

On the Other Hand

My friends are inviting me to come with them to Puerto Galera this Saturday, but I haven't decided yet. It's hard for me to say yes because I got books to read, I still have work tonight, and I only have one day-off for this week. And I don't think I can still squeeze that 'Puerto Galera get-away' on my schedule without affecting or ruining any on my list, because for sure if I'll be going to Puerto I won't be able to report for work on Sunday.

I really want to go with them 'coz its been ages since our last trip together, but how will I do that? It's too late to file for a vacation leave, I don't also want to phone in sick and file a SL on Sunday (I'm afraid of karma) but I also don't want to be absent (I hate deductions, and I don't want to lose the attendance incentive). Whew!

And hey, did I mention that I'm planning to have my birthday bash on Saturday night? Whew! (again!) Please enlighten me...

Finally, I got Eleven Minutes!

Yehey! The search is finally off! I got my eleven minutes book a few minutes after sunset. I got it from Power Books Greenbelt, and i can't take the grin off my face when i got hold of the book. It's a great feeling having that book, I can't describe my emotions. I know you think that I'm exaggerating my feelings for that book, but really... I'm so happy adding another Coelho's book in my bookshelf. I can now finally journey with Maria a young innocent, Brazilian girl who dreams of finding fame and fortune, who apparently became prostitute in "risking everything to find her own 'inner light' and the possibility of a 'sacred' sex in the context of love" --Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

I can't wait to read the book, I want my shift to end now.

Eleven Days for 'Eleven Minutes'

Last April 18, that day happened to be my birthday, i went shopping for some stuff for myself and for my relatives coz the following day was my trip to the province. After shopping, i decided to buy the 11 minutes book by Paulo Coelho. I went to FIVE bookstores, unfortunately i found no trace of that book. After 'bookstore hopping', i never felt that exhausted and down coz i was really dying to have that book. I even cried a bucket of tears! I already read the first few chapters of that book and i quickly became obsess to that book. I don't know what's with Paulo (except for the obvious that he writes well) that he continues to hypnotize me with his works. One thing i love about eleven minutes is the plot itself and the character of Maria, on how she deals with life, love and intimacy. I already read some of Paulo's works but i still can't get enough of him, I'm still dying to have eleven minutes even after eleven days of searching. Eleven days didn't stop me, it makes me want that book more and more each day. I'm still hoping that it will land to my hands one of these days... I can wait for even eleven years for that book, I know it'll be worth the wait. But I'm also praying that it won't take that long.

Runway Traffic

April 19 was our flight to Cagayan de Oro, we left for the airport early and i was glad because our flight call was on time but what pissed me off was the take-off, it took us 45 minutes before we were able to fly because there was a runway traffic due to the same flight schedule with other airlines so we need to wait for the plane who gets to the runway line first to take-off before we could. Thanks to that runway traffic we were 45 minutes late, and we were late for the 12 o'clock trip to Zamboanga. Grrrrr.

Crying Scene

When we arrived at our grandfather's house, my daddy (grandfather) was crying coz he didn't know that were coming home because we wanted to surprise him, and truly he was surprised and he was more than teary eyed, he was really crying. He was shedding tears of joy because of our arrival.

Same Old Questions

Sigh. The same old questions were raised again... The questions that never fails to spoil my day:

* 'Do you have a boyfriend?' - Why do they want to know? Will they let me have one?

* 'Are you enjoying your stay in Manila?' - Of course, i do!

* 'When are you getting married?' - How will I? are there husbands for sale???? Tell me where i'll be able to find them if you have any idea... Hehehe On second thought nah just don't bother... I'm still enjoying the kind of life i'm living.... I'm not in a hurry.. I can wait for 11 years! Hahahaha I would be 32 then! Not bad? Not! Bad! :P
