Hmp.

I was really, really raging mad this morning. I woke up early, I skipped breakfast so that I won't be late for work because it's the last day of the month and I want to have a perfect attendance this month with no lates and all to get my most anticipated attendance incentive but still I'm late! ONE minute late!!! Grrrr... Thanks to the cabs at Shell Buendia and the elevator of the Peak Tower and I'm one minute late for work. And my anticipated attendance incentive is now sliced to half... So sad... It could have been an additional fund for my shopping spree.

On a lighter note...
I'm planning to write a short story, I already have the plot and the characters in mind, I'm writing not because I want to join a short story writing competition or any workshop, its just that I just feel like writing. I've been weaving this story since the year started and I want to put this in writing as soon as possible, while my mind is still working. :) I'm planning to start it tonight, since Saturday and Sunday are my rest days so I think I have enough time to work on it. And hopefully I could post it here before the year ends. Heheheh Anyway, I want to have a spontaneous weekend. This would be a 'anything-goes' weekend. I don't wanna do the efforts of planning and all, then in the end nothing in my list will be realized. I just wanna enjoy. Period. But I still wish to have a blast, just like the weekend that I had last week.

I wanna buy this knitted top at Kamiseta, I've been eyeing this for a week now and I desperately want it! I already talked this top to my brother this morning and I asked him to buy it for me, he said yes and hopefully I can get that top tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he won't forget what we talked about this morning.

My Weekend Nights

I came here at the workplace early Friday night to invite my work and off-work buddy Nhez for a Friday night out, since it's been ages since the last time we went out. Unfortunately, Sir Leo, who used to be our project manager called and asked for someone from the IS team, and I was the sole IS officer that time so we talked and he asked me to upload the test leads for our new UK account. And since I'm workaholic by nature(ewwww, doesn't fit!) I gave in. And while uploading the test leads requests from different projects started flooding. And alas! I'm tied up with work, and the Friday night out is on without me. Poor me. Around 11 o'clock my bosses are already here as well as my co-IS, Kuya Red so I decided to leave the workplace. But before I left I PMed (is there such a word? :) ) G-boy to ask him if he's going home to QC so I'll have a company on the way home, and he said yes so I asked him to wait for me. On our way home, I really felt bad because earlier that night I was already anticipating my first night out after a month or so. But there I was, heading my way home. Suddenly, I felt hungry and I remember that I haven't eaten since Friday midnight, and G-Boy haven't eaten his dinner yet too. So we just decided to have dinner first before heading home. We were suppose to eat at McDonalds at Quezon Ave, but its already closed! God! pagsinuswerte ka nga naman! So we moved to other place which is Cafea, then when we're already there I found out that I don't have enough funds, my wallet is almost empty so we rushed to Timog to find for an ATM, we've been to 3 different banks, but it said that 'transaction cannot be completed', and it dawned on me that it must be a universal conspiracy! Huh! I'm jinxed that night. Good thing G-Boy remembered that there's a UCPB bank somewhere in Tomas Morato so we went there,and luckily the universal conspiracy ended there. I was able to access my bank account! So we went back to Cafea and had our very late dinner there. We talked about anything under the sun.. err.. i think it's anything under the moon! hehehehe Corny points for me! Anyway, I also met one of my buddies there, Tin, she came with her high school friends. After a couple of hours (I think t'was around 2:00AM) we waited for a cab then went home. Though my night out didn't turned out as planned, I still had a great night, and my Friday night was not spoiled. Thanks to you Mr. G-Boy. :-)

I woke up late last Saturday, I think it was around 1 in the afternoon. It was a very lazy afternoon, coz the rain was lightly pouring. I was lying cozy in my bed on a rainy Saturday afternoon when Nhez and Rey texted me and reminded me that I agreed to come over to their pad. So I hurriedly took a bath then get myself ready to leave. When I arrived at their pad in Makati, they were also feeling cozy in bed while watching Sister Act on Star Movies. We watched the movie till the end though all of us already watched it a hundred times since we were kids. After the movie we decided to have coffee, we had Starbucks, CBTL and Cafea as our choices I also suggested Tiendesitas and they said that it's pretty far so we ended up at Esquinita, near ELJ. We had dinner there, a couple of rounds of booze and tons of talks! I really missed those guys its the first time that I went out with them since December of last year. And at around 10:30 we decided to call it a night. I arrived home at around 11 o'clock, I was early!

I spent the whole day of Sunday in bed while watching TV. It was around 6 o'clock that I played with my hair in front of the mirror, then I thought of cutting my hair short and have some bangs for a change. So, I went to my brother and beg him to come with me to Fix, he accompanied at Fix then after that he said that I should treat him for pizza, the price of accompanying me to the salon! So I just gave in. When were on our way to Berkeley Square we passed by Nail Loft and we decided right there and then to have foot spa. After about an hour we went to Yellow Cab at Berkeley Square to have our dinner, we had Manhattan Meat lover's pizza and pistachio ice cream.Not minding the rain and the cold wind blowing outside. And after our great dinner, we went straight home.

I think I already got used to the night life, and I mean it literally. I don't wanna go out now when the sun's up. It's really a paradox 'coz now I'm off the night shift and I'm on the noon shift which is 12:00nn to 9:00PM.

I just wanna say thank you to all the persons who made my weekend great, Nhez, Rey, Kate and my brother.

Hope to have another blast next weekend!!! :)

Father's Day Special

As a child I always wanted father who will give me piggy back rides during Sundays at the park, who’ll tuck me to bed and kiss me goodnight and who will give me little surprises when he gets home. I wanted a father that I can bring to every school activity, so that I can show him off to my friends for them to know how great my father is. I want a father who will help me solve Math problems, and who’ll drop and pick me up from school. I want my father to teach me how to ride a bike and drive a car. I also wanted a father who'll understand me, who knows every inch of me. Who'll cheer me up each time I'm down, and hug me and tell me everything's going to be alright. I want a father whom I can share all my thoughts and musings, and a father who'll always be there for me through thick and thin.

I grew up with a father who didn't give me piggy back rides and who wasn't able to tuck me in bed coz he left when I was young, but he gave us surprises though, not those little candy nor chocolate surprises, he surprised me by bringing home a lady I didn't know and a baby girl whom later I knew was my stepmother and my half sister. Isn't it surprising? No, it's not surprising, it's an understatement, it is shocking and very traumatic for me since I grew up as the only girl and the youngest in the family. My father never showed up in any of the memorable occasions of my life. He never made it to any graduation day in my life, he seemed to forgot my birthdays. He didn't teach me how to solve Math problems instead he gave me another equation problem which is our family + my stepmother + my step siblings. See? He isn't really far from the father I dreamt of. He don't cheer me up when I'm down coz he can never will. You know why he can't? Because often times he's the reason why I cry and feel down. He was never a father whom I can share my thoughts and musings 'coz he was nowhere to be found when I needed him the most, when I grazed my knee to the time that I broke my heart. I don't know why, but I can't completely get mad at him. If not because of him I wouldn't be here on earth, and because of our situation it motivated me to strive hard to show him that I can still reach my dreams even without him.

Now that I'm grown up, I can still feel the green-eyed monster inside me when I see him and my younger half-siblings cuddling. You can't blame me, can you? I never experienced that, I was deprived of a father's love and care. And he never show nor tell me that he loves me or just care about me.

But this morning I felt that he was loving me all along, it's just not obvious but he really did. He never stopped loving and caring for me and my brother all these years. I greeted him a 'happy father's day' this morning and gave him a peck on the cheek. he hugged me and told me that it's so nice hearing those words from me, i hugged him back and i started crying and sobbing like a child, I also told him that I missed the feeling of hugging and be hugged by him. If I can remember it well i think it was February or March of 1996 that I was last hugged by him, I can't really remember because it was such a long time ago. All I remember was the reason why he hugged me, it was because I was crying really, really hard. That was the time when he brought my step mom and my half sister who was about a month old that time, to our hometown. I was raging mad at the same time crying really hard that time 'coz it seems like everyone from my dad's family knew about it but us (me and my brother). And how do you expect an eleven year old girl react to that? It is more than a young girl can take. Anyway, so much of the drama, that's a part of my life that I don't want to remember, though my mom tells me that I shouldn't forget about that 'coz it's such a great factor that molded me to what I am now. Ok, back to what had happened earlier today, after hugging him I rushed to the door because I'm off to work, I just dropped by to greet him, also I don't want to mess my face with tears. When I looked back, I also saw him shedding some tears. That's when I realized that we never stopped loving each other, we're just afraid of showing it, afraid that what we do won't be reciprocated.

Pa, I love you, though I don't really show it, but i really do. I'm sorry for misunderstanding, for being rude at you and your family sometimes. and for not showing that I care. If you only knew that my only wish is your happiness. I don't care if I'd still be spending the rest of my life without you, as long as I know you're happy, I'll also be happy for you. If you're afraid of what future lies ahead of me if you'll leave me again, don't be. I'm a big girl now remember? I can take care of myself, whether here or in France. So, don't worry. Plus, there's always kuya and my mom who'll back me up, and of course there's you. Canada isn't that far from Philippines nor Paris, it's just a phone call away!

A Couple of Surprise Parties Here and a Simple Get Together There

Wednesday morning, the time for our planned surprise party for our supervisor has arrived. I and K'Anne sneaked out to get the cake K'Anne ordered and to buy the spaghetti assigned to me. We went somewhere near St. Scho., don't ask me 'bout the name of the place please... I'm not familiar with Manila! Anyway, the name of the bakeshop is Becky's. We went back at the office at past 7 AM. Though the party has so many hitches, it went well though. We had a great time. The surprise party was held at Touch Asia's sleeping quarters for the reason that there's no available room other than that.

The second surprise party took place on the eve of the 16th, at the PMG-IS office. It was for Sir John, our project manager. It wasn't planned like Sir Wilson's but it turned out to be fun too! You just don't know what we went through to make that humble party possible. We rushed to red Ribbon Park Square branch at 8:30 PM without our supervisor's knowledge, and kuya Red and I rushed to National Bookstore to buy balloons. The humble party was witnessed by I, K'Anne, Kuya Red, Sir Wilson, Miss Glads and the celebrator himself, Sir John (Beegdawg). Throwing surprise parties is really fun! Ako kaya., kailan masusurprise?

Anyway, last Friday afternoon Julei, my college classmate/friend in MSU-IIT and I finally decided to meet. We met at SM North, we ate at Max's then there we became nostalgic, we were reminiscing our college memories along woith our other college buddies. Haaaayyyy, it feels so great to reunite with good old friends! Hope to see my other college and high school buddies soon..

By the way, I'm on the mid shift now, my work schedule now is 12:00NN - 9:00PM, feels so good to be able to sleep at night again. But, I also miss my 'shiftmate', K'Anne, though we will still be seeing each other but only for a couple of hours. On second thought, its better that way than not seeing her or anyone on the night shift.

The Weekend I Had in Pictures

Having lunch after hearing mass yesterday.

Last Ride For The Weekend Rollercoaster

This afternoon there was a silent war between my dad and me and my brother. Both of them (my dad and step mom) were giving us a cold treatment. My brother and I decided to leave the house early to avoid the two of them. When we passed at the pharmacy to tell them that we're leaving for work our dad asked me if what time is my schedule and I told him that its 11 o'clock and he also asked if could stay there for a while and talk about some matters. I thought it was about my coming home late last night, and I was also thinking that there must be something really that made them act that way, and it must be really serious. And when dad started talking, i found out that my brother and I were right. They were really having problem with their visa applications for Canada, its because I found out that they won't be able to leave the country without my mom's (my biological mother and the LEGAL wife) permission! They need her to sign a contract stating that they were separated a decade ago, and that they don't have business with each other's life anymore. An they want my mom to sign the contract ASAP, my mom approves of the idea but she's quite skeptical about it. She wants our dad to give us (my brother and i) the things that are just for us, as his legal children. And she's still thinking about the contract conditions up to now. There were so many issues raised to us by our dad, but the bottom line is still the contract!

Whew! Why can't they wait? They were the ones needing something, and I think they should or must learn how to wait! Be patient folks! And also they were making a big issue about me not coming with them to Canada. they were asking me so many times about it, and wanted me to think it over and over again but every after thinking about it i always have same answers "No, I'm not coming!". I really don't feel like staying in Canada for good, unless i have my brother and mother in tow, but my dad and his family? No thanks, i prefer living here in the Philippines. Or I prefer being exiled (studying) in Paris. I think when I'll get home later the atmosphere will be lighter, coz as you know they're asking us a favor. :D Heheheh Good luck to them, I don't wanna meddle with the issue, I'll just let my mom and brother decide about it. I'm definitely out of it! (But hey if I have to choose on which side to side of course it would be my mom's!) Shhh.. we'll keep it as our little secret ok?) :D

Anyway, I'm a drama princess no more... there's nothing to be sad about. Life's great! I ain't sourgraping, ok?

Weekend Rollercoaster

After our shift last Friday, Elza, K'Anne and I went to Glorietta to find a gift for Sir Wilson. When we got there first we had lunch at Shakey's after that we went searching for the right gift for our supervisor. We end up buying a personalized Parker pen for him, with his name engraved on it. After buying the gift K'Anne and I decided to watch a movie, Elza didn't come with us 'coz she still had work Friday night. We watched X-Men the last stand. I love the movie, though Jean Gray turned into phoenix and became Magneto's ally I still love her. She's so pretty. I also felt sorry for Cyclops that he had to die early in the movie, and so is Charles Xavier better know as Professor X. And also I was quiet bitin with Rouge's (Anna Paquin) exposure, she didn't get to fight because she chose to be cured. She chose to be human than to be mutant. And I also like Kitty, she's so cute! And Halle Berry, she's as sexy as ever. Anyway, so much for the X-Men, after watching the movie we felt the urge to watch it over again but since we haven't slept the whole night (coz we're nocturnal workers), we just decided to drop the idea and just go home and sleep. I got home at around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I was 30 hours awake, literally.

Saturday 1 o'clock, my brother and I left for Gateway to watch a movie, we were supposed to watch Take The Lead but we were late because when we got there the movie has started and the next showing was at 5 o'clock, so we just watched Omen, I liked the cinematography but when i saw the ending, it was sooooooo disappointing. Sigh. Good thing I saw the Moffats after he movie, I almost bumped to them 'coz I didn't notice that they were coming our way. From Gateway, I went to Makati to meet K'Anne and Kitty coz we had plan to watch a movie at SM Mall of Asia. Unfortunately, when we got there the seats are full so we weren't able to watch, we tried at the I-Max but the movies there are not that good, so we ended up eating at Ted's had our girl talks then went back to the mall and just made window shopping. We bought a personalized cellphone accessory. at Eiko. After that we were supposed to have coffee but we thought that its already late so we just decided to get ourselves home. I almost forgot we met RT and her friends having coffee at Go Nuts Donuts. I got home at around midnight, my brother opened the door for me.

When I woke up this morning my brother told me to get myself ready 'coz were going to attend mass. On our way to church we passed at our dad's pharmacy to inform them and guess what i had when we got there? I got an award from him for not informing him that I'll be coming home late last night! I was like what? Kuya already told you!!! And if you were really concerned of me you should have just ask me yourself. OH MY! My step mom looks like the stereotype step mom this morning (as in really, she looks like a wicked step mom) aheheheh. After hearing mass we decided to just come to the mall, have lunch here and just surf the net to kill time.

Everytime I feel so happy, there's always a counterpart of sadness/loneliness. Can't we be really happy without being sad afterwards? Sigh. i really miss my mom, this is one of the times that I want her here with me. I really feel so alone. I don't feel like going home yet, and working tonight. Please... will somebody cheer me up? I just feel so blue.

The Best That I Will Never Have

I've been waiting for the time that my emotions will explode so that I could pick up the pieces and put them into writing. I've been trying to write something about this but I wasn't ready then and now I think is the right time. This is about a friend, a very dear friend actually. I met her when I was in my 3rd year in college, she was 23 or 24 then I'm not really sure and I was 18. She was supposedly my GE instructress when I transferred from MSU-IIT, but since all my minor subjects were credited , I was advised not take GE course anymore. We came from the same school (MSU-IIT), she graduated there and I have spent my first 2 years in college at that university too.

One day we had a small talk, we talked about our life and experiences in the university, and the people that we both know from there and anything under the sun. And based on our pep talk I can say that she's an intellectual person. And eventually, we became friends. We're alike yet so different in so many ways. We were like the North and the South poles, but we jived really well. We get pretty good conversations each day. We can talk sense, that sometimes we argue and often times we talk about the craziest things, stuff like having a cheetah as a means of transportation, seating on a giraffe's head to fix electrical posts, mixing lotion and toothpaste to substitute for a massage oil.

I know everything about her, her dreams and frustrations from childhood to present, and she also knew almost everything about me. We were very close. We travel together, we eat our meals together and we even sleep at each other's place. We were inseparable. She sees me as her little sister and I see her as the big sister that I never had. She need not tell me about her major heartaches because i was there when it happened. I witnessed everything. There was also a time that I played cupid for her. I was there everytime she and her so-called boyfriend meets up. and witnessed everything (literally), though i played asleep sometimes hehehe, but often times they get me drunk so that they can have their private time, but they don't have to force me, I chose to be drunk than be awake and feel out of place. She even swore that I'll be the first one to know if something big happens to her life like getiing married or having a baby. I clinged to that promise, because i trust her that much. During the 2nd semester of my last year in college she decided to leave her job and pursue with her master's degree. We still communicate, at first we call and text each other everyday (thanks to Sun cellular), then it became once a week, then once a month to once in a blue moon. We just send each other messages during special occasions like Christmas and new year.

Then last year, I was surprised because she sent me an instant message through YM and told me that she's pregnant, I wasn't that shocked 'coz i know that she have a boyfriend but still I was concern about her, about her family's reaction. I'm also flattered because she said I was the first one to know about her situation aside from her boyfriend. But after that we didn't communicate again, I just heard from a friend that she already told her parents about it and they understood her situation. I was happy for her when I heard that, who wouldn't be, right? Anyway, it doesn't end there.. You think I'm only writing this for that? Of course not! There's more to the story... that really hurt me...

Last April I went home to our province when I visited one of our common friends she told me that my dear friend already got married. That time I was shocked.. really! It hurt me big time! I was lost for a while when I heard the news. I tried to justify her for not telling me but I can't find any reason why she didn't. She even told me her darkest secrets before but this marrying thing? I felt like I was betrayed. On that very day my friends forced me to pay her a visit, I submitted but I wasn't excited anymore to see her coz seeing her just hurts me even more. I really felt rejected.

Haaaay, I have learned my lesson well... I think its not good to be really 'attached' to a thing or person, 'coz it would be very hard letting them go and accepting the sad fact that they can't be with you, and never will be. Belle, you're the best friend that i will never have. :-(

But still I wish her and her family all the best this world can offer. And I know that she'll be a good mother to her daughter/son. Special thanks to Adel and mommy Sweet who comforted me, they really made me feel better. Kudos to you dear friends. Thanks a lot I really appreciate what you did for me. :-)

Ok, so much of these mushy endings... from now on I would write stories about some person's who touched my life and who contributed to what I am now.

Sleepless

I am forcing myself to post something here, to do some thinking to battle the sleepyhead in me. I am VERY sleepy. I didn't get to sleep before coming to work because I along with my siblings and two of our househelps went to Gateway yesterday. We just had a little shopping (yeah, just a little), we visited my cousin Trish who manages their Kamiseta shop at Gateway, then we went strolling and just had a late lunch at Italliani's. At around 3 o'clock I asked my brother to take us home so that I can have a nap before going to work. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to, because one of our neighbors is having a children's party, and their music is playing really loud, and my bedroom is just adjacent their garden where their having the celebration. I already did almost everything but to no avail... still I can't sleep. So, I just left our house at around 8:30PM though my shift starts at 11 o'clock, coz I really don't have anything to do at home.
