Yesterday, K'Anne and I picked Sheina up from work. We had late lunch, window shopped a little, watched a movie, had a good cup of coffee (with the purple straw, K'Anne said) and had quite a long talk. We talked about work, since K'Anne and kuya Red left we (Sheina and I)already have thoughts of quitting our current job, but we're not even finding a new one. What a paradox. But we've been referred by some friends and officemates. In fact, I'm torn (not again) between quitting or staying. I already talked to my brother and Sheina and K'Anne and they all have the same answer, "Think about it. But with the offer they're giving... Go!" I'm not really sure what I want this time. I must admit the offer is really tempting, it's twice as much as I'm earning. Sheina also have some plans in mind, she's been referred by her friend to an international company, and she told me that if ever she'll get in she'll refer me too! Wouldn't that be great? I just hope that things will work out for my team if I/we will be leaving, because there'll be only 3 or 2 of them. Schedule is hard that there are 4 of us in the team, it'll get harder for sure! Anyway, my "future employer" wants to have my answer on Monday, honestly until now I'm not yet decided. I'm still waiting for the sign to show up.
Anyway, last night I wasn't able to sleep maybe because my body clock is used to sleeping at day time now or maybe I was overdosed with caffeine. Since I can't sleep I ended up doing a movie marathon. I watched 3 movies! And I also did this... (see paragraphs below :p) Though, I didn't really compose it, but I transcribed it. It's from the movie we watched yesterday, The Holiday. This really struck me... Hope this will have a great impact to you as it did on me.. Read on..
"I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms." --Iris (narrating), The Holiday
"Iris, in the movies we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason you are behaving like the best friend.
Iris: You're so right. You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life, for god's sake! Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years, and she's never explained things to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant. " --Arthur Abbott, The Holiday
"Shush. You broke my heart. And you acted like somehow it was my fault, my misunderstanding, and I was too in love with you to ever be mad at you, so I just punished myself! For years! But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday, and telling me that you don't want to lose me whilst you're about to get MARRIED, somehow newly entitles me to say, it's over. This - This twisted, toxic THING between us, is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you! Ha! I've got a life to start living."--Iris , The Holiday
“Listen, I know its hard to believe people when they say ‘I know exactly how you feel’, but I actually know how you feel. You see I was … uhm… seeing someone back in London we worked for the same newspaper and then I found out that he was seeing this other girl, Sarah from the circulation department on the 19th floor. Turned out that he was not in love with me like I thought. I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade." --Iris (to Miles), The Holiday
And also last night we talked about our heart's status and since we all worked as database developer/administrator we gave it a little twist. We'll answer it using syntax or procedures of SQL Servers.
"What's your heart's status as of the moment?"
K'Anne: "DELETING ... (paused) pero may BEGIN TRAN and ROLLBACK TRAN!" (Pamatay 'to! DELETING is understandable, BEGIN TRAN is used to do a certain process but putting a ROLLBACK TRAN at the end of your code is like reversing everything you did).
Sheina: "UPDATING/NSERTING" (but K'Anne said that SELECT statement suits her and Sheina agreed but added SELECT DISTINCT)
Me: SLEEPING but... RUNNABLE!
So much of my talking.. I need to focus on my work now. BTW, I'm at work now rendering a RDOT. Anyway, its fine with me.... I 'll have reason to call in sick tomorrow. Hehehe. I'm going to attend my niece's baptism.
Ciao. Hope you'll all have a good Valentine's. I bet I'll have a good one! I'm going solo flight to a spa! Hehehe.
P.S. If you want to watch the film but don't have time to watch it in the movie house I'm giving you these links (but i haven't check if these have good quality though):
