One of the Longest Days

I can say that today is one of the longest days of my life. First, I went to work, after work this morning I went home, then me and my brother went shopping for stuff as 'pasalubong' for our family back in the province. I can say that it was like my first dreadful shopping experience. We've been literally running around, going up and down the stairs, went to three malls and stopped by at almost every shop we could see. I never thought that shopping would be this dreadful. I felt like the veins of my legs will explode any minute because of the walking/running we made. We didn't even have the chance to rest for even a while. We were so out of time, I need to be home by 6 since Sheina and I planned to watch a movie in our place and have dinner there too. Luckily before my veins thought about exploding we were able to buy everyone's 'pasalubong' and at long last, after fifty golden years we were finally heading home! What a relief!

When we got home my brother started unpacking our shopping bags and was like sorting it. I didn't feel like helping out, I was too exhausted to even lift a finger. I flopped down on my bed and was able to take a nap for about 10 minutes when my brother started screaming (well, it was like talking but just louder than the usual) that Sheina's already waiting for me at the place where I'm going to meet her. I quickly woke up and checked my phone but to my dismay it was just one of his pranks. I didn't react to his little prank, which is kinda surprising of me maybe because I was really too tired to argue. After twenty minutes or so I decided to go to to the place where Sheina and I agreed to meet. She was already there when I got there. After that we went to buy dinner since my cook (my brother) is exhausted too. After that we went to our place, we watched
The Lake House, had dinner with occasional chats, then went back watching the movie. When the movie ended we decided to watch something else to pass the time and Sheina suggested that we watch The Hills season 2 episodes 1-10, but we didn't really finished watching the 10 episodes because it was getting a little late and Sheina needs to be home before 11 because she still have work later at 5:30AM. And after she left I went rummaging my closet and decide on what stuff I'm going to bring in going home.

I just finished sorting out my clothes but still not decided on what to bring, I still need to have an elimination round later I think... But before I do so, I decided on blogging first.:p I just want to blab about what happened today and I can't seem to ward off the travel bug in me. I AM JUST SO EXCITED ABOUT GOING HOME AND NOT TAKING THE PLANE after a half a decade. It is just less than 24 hours before we board the ship, the ship's ETD is 8:45PM that means we need to be there on or before 7:00PM and that's only 18 hours and a half! I am so so excited to meet everyone back there.

I am kinda sleepy now, I've been awake for 28 hours and a half, I better be doing the elimination round of the stuff I'm going to bring with me on the trip home later. Good night everyone err good morning! :p Wish us a safe trip tomorrow. Ciao.

Sarcastic. Not!

One more night and work will be over for me for this month and a couple of nights more before I can officially say "I'm home!". But until now we haven't decided yet whether we'll take the plane or boat, and that means we don't have our tickets yet. My brother and I have been thinking about riding a boat since it was half a decade ago since we had our last ride. We inquired for the fare, sadly the boat fare is even more expensive than the air fare, and to think riding a boat will take as three days and two nights before we reach our destination and plane ride will only take us a couple of hours max. So, as you see... maybe we'll just forget about the boat ride coz taking the plane is less expensive and of course faster. Sigh. Anyway, whatever will be decided will be fine for me as long as we can get home. I am so, so excited!

Anyway, my brother just got back from their Puerto Galera trip, which I wasn't able to go because of my work. How sad is that? So I was home alone Sunday and Monday. I haven't seen my brother since he got back but we already talked on the phone and he told me interesting things they did (sarcasm here) while they were in Puerto. I really wanted to go there again since my little Puerto adventure last year. And for a little consolation my brother bought me a shirt. Of course he did not do it in his own will, I forced him to buy me one. I just wish I was able to go with them, for sure it's a lot of fun and it will be very far better than last year.

Enough of this Kristina, 'have no time for regrets' remember? I'm quite excited to go home today though to see the shirt my brother bought me and of course to see him too and hear more of their story and see their pictures too. I swear no more sarcasm in here... ^__^

Another thing to be excited about is... The Hills Season 2's 10th Episode! Yay! And basing on the teaser it will be a great episode with lots of dramas... And Jenn Bunney and Brody Jenner will be there too! The nerve of those two! Well... let's just see what happens on Lauren's birthday.

Coffee Break

This morning Sheina and I planned on having a 'Tin and Shein's Day', we planned on having a movie marathon at my place, have dinner there and do some spontaneous bumming all afternoon. All were set. When I got home, I received an SMS from Sheina before reading her message I got this thought at the back of my head that maybe something came up and we won't be able to pursue with our plan. And I was right! She wrote in her message that we won't be able to do things as planned because Kuya Rod, our other dialer admin can't make it to work and Sheina needs to take over for his shift. Sigh. We were already excited and all of of a sudden somebody jinxed it! Arghhhh.... Grrrrr!!!! Anyway, so much of that, I just hope Kuya Rod's reason is 'reasonable' enough to ruin our day. Heheheh.

I watched
Its a Boy/Girl Thing this morning its a cute movie. Full of funny and hilarious scenes! Cute couple too. By the way have you imagined yourself stuck in a guy's body or if you're a guy, the other way around? I just did. But I can hardly imagine how will I put up with it, like me (in a guy's body) drooling over a guy. People will think that I'm a fag! I'm ok with the clothes but I still love seeing myself in a girl's clothing. Though there are pros too being in this situation like being able to use the guy's locker room and bath (can you imagine the whole scenery in there?:p), being able to talk to them and all. But still those won't convince me... I'm a girl and will always be one. Oh crap, enough of this switching bodies thought. I'm not making sense anymore.

Ei, people out there if you are one of those coffeeholics (is there such a word?) drop by at any Starbucks nearest to you later at around 10AM-12NN, they're giving out free 12 oz coffee for their
'Coffee Break'. I would love to have a free coffee later but I can't stay that long, I need to sleep because I still have work come night time. Waaaaahhhhh another reason to cry. And because of that I'm planning to write to Starbucks.

"Dear Starbucks,I so HATE you!!!LOVE,Tin" ----Hahaha (I know I've earned 3-corny-points for this)

To all of us who can't make it to Starbucks' coffee break tomorrow, boohooo! Sorry, we still have next year... plan ahead, make sure you're free for the coffee break next year! And to all the others who can, boohoo to you too! May you be caffeine-overdosed. Hahahaha. Am I being mean or what? Just kidding though! May you all have a good time!

Thinking Way Too Hard


Hi Everyone! I know it's been ages since I last updated this little 'blogspot', its just that my hands were tied-up for the past weeks. I've been busy with... actually I don't know what I've been busy about. :p Hahaha I just remember something, there was this call that I got. It was from a girl telemarketer, she asked me if I am a citibank credit card holder and I said yes and she went on with her spiel, trying to sell something. I cut her off without being rude before she'll get me into buying a cellphone with vacuum cleaner and told her "Miss I know that you are only doing your job, but I should say that I don't really have time, my hands are quite tied-up today" and guess what she said? "Maam, ano po ba nangyari sa hands n'yo?" She really made my day, because of her comment I was laughing so hard, and I was able to wear a smile the entire day despite my toxic work.

Anyway, nothing much happened to me. Just the usual work-home routine. I wasn't able to go out with friends nor go malling or just anywhere, I was like possessed by my room, I don't feel like leaving it, aside from going to work of course, which is mandatory. And speaking of work, every thing's fine. I wasn't able to leave the company I've been working for for the past year and a half. I'm thinking about a career shift but seriously I still don't know what 'path' I'm going to take. Last week I asked my brother if he came to the point where he knows what he wants to do for the rest of his life, because I'm way far that stage. And he said that I don't need to worry 'coz I'm not the only person who feels that way, he shares the same sentiments and maybe there are lots of others out there too. He's been working for about five years now, he's been switching jobs, but he's still not sure of what he really wants to do for the rest of his life. I've been through three different jobs (same company) but none of those made me feel that I want to do that certain job for the rest of my life.

Though I don't want to pressure myself, but I can't help but think about it most of the time. Do you think I was just trying so hard? You can't blame me, its plain and simple I don't want to end up miserable doing things that
are not really the things I want to do and regretting things I should have done. God I'm only (turning) 22 but I've been thinking a lot! I'm not really a planner but that thought really hit me big time. And makes me want to plan the future ahead. I'm planning on going back to school and study something different and I mean way far different from IT. I'm considering art, but what kind of art? Music? Fashion design? Fine arts? The heck, no one told me that planning the future could be this hard. Hmnn... but I think music should be taken off the list, so that left me with two choices. I must say I really need a break to think about stuff. I'm planning on taking off from work last week of this month... Its sort of getting away and thinking kind of thing for me. Because when I'm just around work, my thinking doesn't make sense sometimes, unfair, and biased.

Anyway, I'll be working 10 nights straight then I'm off to my much awaited vacay! Hope you guys have a great summer. And its almost my birthday don't forget to send me your your gifts! :p I just love presents!

Oh, I almost forgot I want to greet 'my friend' a happy birthday. I won't name names because he might make a big deal out of this greeting. CLUE: He's one of those unrequited love that I had experienced, and his birthday is sometime this week? :p
