OO. Isa na akong ultimong pasaway.
Whew. That was the longest non-internet-surfing two weeks of my life. Feeling ko, wala namang mashadong nangyari sa buhay ko. Or maybe its because i tend to forget great/ bad things that happen to me. Aba, malay.
Chorva #1:
In fairness, parang kebs na lang ang mga work related stress sa akin. Although i still feel that nagging feeling of work discontent, the friendship that i am forging with my officemates is something that keeps me hanging on. Its surreal nga eh. Last night, we went to Rockwell to watch the BFC vs the Bossings of my company play basketball. Shempre, andun ang mga friends ko with their Non- (Name of Company here) boyfriends. While we let the "Dogs" (spoken in the classic hiphop eggoy way) play, my girlfriends (with matching snaps) asked me to tell their fortunes. At pinairal ko na naman ang pagiging madam bola ko. Ang funny pa nun, before we went to Rockwell, my supervisors (including the Assistant Manager for Marketing) asked me to tell their stars too! Pwedeng pwede ko nang gawing kabuhayan ito.
So anyway, going back to my Rockwell story, nakakatuwa kasi kahit na ako ang 9th wheel (oo, apat silang "Lovers" kagabi) keri lang kasi binigyan ko sila ng ultimatum na prends-prends muna at bawal ang labers pag kasama ako. Chorva. Hehe.. joke lang. Pag kasama ko sila, talagang SAD, as in Single Awareness Day para sa akin. Ang funny pa nun, kahit pa girl effect ako, their boyfriends treat me like im one of them (considering the fact that i grow beard and moustache and my hands are so farmer- like, Yes, I COULD be One of them).
Chorva #2:
For no reason at all, nag bonding kami ng Perksquad minus Tubby and Queer. Queer, I can understand if he cannot even bear to stand up from his bed because of the Wowowee tragedy. I know everyone took the news hard, among the barkada, it was Queer who took it the hardest. Isa sha sa mga pioneer avid fans talaga ng wowowee. He knows the lyrics and the action to the song Joke Joke Joke and Wowowee. Shempre, sa wowowee rin namin napulot ang Golden Baul of Jokes na ginamit kong ice breaker sa aking officemates nung ako ay bago pa sa (Name of Company here). Salamat, wowowee, dahil sa yo... inakala ng mga taong hindi normal ang pag-iisip ko.
SO anyway, i digressed enough to lose my trail of thought... ayuuun. Bonding.
Nagkita kita kami nina Mamba, Flamethrower at Anime upang, upang... wala lang. hehe... Nafeel namin ang craving for Videoke. Ang puno't dulo nito ay ang birthday ng paborito kong kafatid na si EarthcallingElaine. Napakanta si Flamethrower ng Anything for You, naalala si SIB (Shudder Inducing Boy) at nagwalang bigla. Kulang na lang ay dayukdukin nya ang aming mga mukha kaka-turo at kaka bend over. Di nyo nagets yun? ako ren. Basta, nagwala sha. ganun.
At dahil dun, nagkaroon ng spontaneous yayaan. Nag effort akong itext ang buong Perks and Friends (si Dishwalla at ang aking beloved TP Gorj). Ang funny... i texted a general message of invitation to all my friends about the house party that goes something like...
Later, sa bahay ha? mga afternoon, kasi OT pa ako. Ang hindi magdala ng pagkain, hindi papapasukin. (or something close to this)
ang sagot ng aking ever so fast gorj, ..." wrong send ka."
Ahehehehe (tawang nakakaloko) Salamat gorj sa pagpapaalala. :D
dahil isa akong batang hayok sa extra income, napatagal ang OT ko. inabot ako ng alas 4 sa office. 5:00 tumawag si Mamba sa akin habang nakapila ako sa bilihan ng Mrt ticket sa Ayala.
Mamba: hoy bruha, asan ka na? nasa bahay nyo na kami.
Ayuuuun, pagdating ko sa bahay after one hour and 15 minutes, nakatayo ang evil twin sisters in their square root eyebrows and Cherie Gil sunglasses (oo, kahit madilin na nun).
Naghati hati rin kami (except ko Flamethrower na hindi naki share dahil ever pulubi daw sha)sa sandamakmak na chips (sitsirya ika ng mga nakatatanda) na pulos maanghang at San Mig Strong Ice.
At nagsimula na kaming maghasik ng lagim. Sinimulan ba naman ni Flamethrower ng kanyang angst filled version ng Anything for you. isang taktikang ginagawa ni Flamethrower para i justify ang kanyang 60 na score ay ang pagtawa nya habang kumakanta na sabi nya ay "nakakasira" sa kanyang performance. OO, Flamethrower, kami na naman ang may sala.
Si Mamba, na may malaking pagkakahawig kay Jimmy ng Star In a Million (katunayan ang kanyang Nazareno hair) ay nangarir sa pagkanta ng Mama Mia ng Abba kung saan naka 93 sha. Siguro ay para patunayang sha ang dapat na nagwagi sa SIAM. at hulaan nyo kung sino ang nagkalat ng kayang bagong Nickname na Jimmy? Si Anime? hindi. Si queer? hindi. Sha mismo. Good job.
Si anime naman ang sumunod. Ang barkada version namin ni Martin Nievera crossed with Kuya Dick crossed with Allan K ay kumanta ng ahem, I honestly love you :D oh dava, machong macho?
Dahil wala na akong balak na itago ang aking sexual orientation, kinanta ko ang song na magpapatunay na hindi talaga ako babae kundi... BADING. Kinarir ko ang Believe ni Cher. ay, bago pala dun ay nilapastangan ko muna ang aking dignidad sa pamamagitan ng pagkanta ng Vision of Love in third voice meaning walang pagbabago ng pitch. hehe.
Mga 2 hours din kaming nagwala. Very varied ang aming play list. Mula kay Sting, papunta kay Madonna, naging Ricky Martin (na kinanta ni Anime with matching Vanessa del Bianco dance step), papunta kay Sean Paul (tinry namin talagang kantahin ang Get Busy eh).
At eto ang napili naming mga favorite Vide-oke songs.
Believe-Cher
What's up- 4 non Blondes (kaming kami yun!)
Every breath you take- Sting
FAme- Irene Cara
and the ultimate,
TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART!!! alam na namin ang mga breaks (kung kelan namin ipapasa ang mic sa katabi namin).
Hindi ako nagbibiro. Muntik na kaming ipabarangay. Yung kapitbahay namin, nung una, nagdadabog lang. After mga 30 minutes, may narinig kaming malakas na ingay na parang may pumutok. Siguro nag suicide na lang sha dahil hindi nya kami kinaya.
(the chorva continues...)
CHANGING MY WORLD, ONE MISTAKE AT A TIME.

In Sickness and In Health
I never thought it would happen to someone close to me.
I can consider my family a very healthy family. In fact, that realization dawned on me when I was scouting for receipts i could get for our company medical/ optical reimbursements. We were entitled to P2500 worth of reimbursement for all the medicines we bought for the year. Being a healthy family that we are, i cannot find even a single receipt.
I tried asking others to give me some receipts, but i couldnt get any that would pass off as "clean" or unquestionable (most of the receipts i got were for prescription drugs and have the names of the buyer). When i asked m relatives if they had some, my father lectured me on the value of honesty. He considered that as "cheating" while i defended my position by claiming that it was my benefit. He only gave me the whatever-you-say-that's-still-unacceptable look. To sum it all up, my payslip lacked that P2500 non taxable income.
Okay, so why am i telling you this story? no, I am not trying to get sympathy votes or confirmation that what i was trying to do was right. In fact, I realized that I should thank my lucky stars that everyone in my family is in great shape.
Last wednesday, i went to UP to support my beloved org ECOSOC to support LENTE, a short film competition. There i was greeted by my younger batch friends, Wonder girl who was pretty in her new slimmer figure, and KInk Sister, whom i greeted by saying she gained a few pounds.
Kink sister told me that i should see her new knockers, she just went under operation for it. I laughed because i thought she was proud to have bigger boobs to suit her not-so-big but bigger frame. It was then that she dropped me the bomb.
"Actually, AM, i really went into surgery. They found a lump in one of my breasts and they removed it. "
It took me a while before i fully digested what she said to me. In my head, that cant happen, she's only 20. How could that happen?
Although she told me she's fine now, the lump is gone, I cant help but be overwhelmed. I began to think about my selfish intent of "cheating" reimbursements when in fact, I never got sick. While this friend of mine whom I love so much, is still in awe while recounting the procedure done on her.
Although she said that she is still waiting for the doctor's diagnosis if the cyst is cancerous, I became aware of my attitude towards sickness. I hate going to the doctor, I refuse to do a self-check, and i abuse my health all the time.
Sometimes, it takes an unfortunate event to bitch slap you into realizing the value of something. In this particular instance, I had to face the harsh reality that I am not immortal. I should be taking good care of myself because sickness happens even to good people. It doesnt matter how young you are, how healthy you look. Its there, waiting for its prey... and you just have to pray hard and work hard too so that you can dodge its evil claws.

*Yawn*
Can i be any more harassed?
Since i transferred from handling corporate accounts to individual accounts, i havent had the "peace of mind" that i've been promising to all my clients.
I am dead tired.
Tomorrow, i shall be having another date with the office cubicle. After some more months and i will be social life- free.
It has just occurred to me that I havent been inside a movie theater for more than 6 months. YEs. isa itong malungkot na realisasyon. Ibig sabihin nito, I have nothing, I have no one. SAdness (sigh).
***
Last tuesday, Perksquad has finally (finally) celebrated its Christmas party/ kris kringle. Its not late, wala pa ngang New Year eh.. Chinese New Year. OF course, being the overworked person that i am, i failed to give my baby (gorj/ golfer) a gift. I have no idea what to give him so i texted Gorj's GF Eka to give me some ideas. Actually, i was thinking of giving him boxer shorts but Eka told me Gorj never wears boxers. so instead of giving him that, i should try to give him kinky, fun briefs. Dont worry, eka, i am looking for that tiger print G-string for your hunny... :)
we are still waiting for Mamba to upload the pics. Im guessing it would take another epoch before she can do that.

Murder in My Mind
i am having a rage blackout right now.
I am hating my evil bwiset brother... i hate him i hate him i hate him.
i am so angry at him i want to go up to his room, pinch him and slap him til he has an idea how mad i am.
Does he know how hard it is for me to create one single post that actually makes sense??? Especially now that i always dont have the energy nor the time to use the computer??? i let him use the computer, browse his tennis schedule and open his YM... and i asked him one single tiny favor- please save my post.
Just one effing click away and he didnt do it.
i am so angry that im crying right now. (seriously)
last night was the first time in such a long time when i actually felt like my brain is actually working. That i had my groove back on- that i was becoming my usual witty self. BUT NO... he didnt save it.
I might as well go and kick his ass literally while he's asleep.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!
Now i cant even remember what i was actually writing about last night.
Nakakainis. bwiset talaga. What a total asshole.
12 minutes after discovering what he did (or didnt do), I am still Mad at him.
The war is ON.

Caught Up and Catching Up
May masterplan ako.
I just happened to realize that as much as it pains me to admit, my life is one clean bond paper. It's plain and uninteresting.
Buti na lang, binigyan ako ni Lord ng bibong personality kaya nagsasariling sikap ako na pasayahin ang sarili ko... general patronage version.
Nakakalungkot na kung kelan may dispensable income ka na, naka-line ang phone, at pwedeng pwede nang magka Jowa loo ever, saka naman nabablangko ang aking social life. Not that i ever went out on dates with strangers or with anyone for that matter, but even with my close friends, i find it hard to hang out.
Bakit? maybe because im too hard at work... ang absurd noh (a paraphrasing of Jason Mraz's song). Maybe im not attractive enough to get myself asked by a guy. or maybe im just not interested, which is a total lie, by the way.
Ah ewan. nangyayari talaga na hindi umaabot sa P800 (my plan) ang usage ko sa phone at kelangan ko talaga na gawing landline siya kapag one day na lang before cutoff.
kung pwede nga lang gawing payphone eh, additional income din yun.
bakit naman kasi hindi pa dumarating si Mr. for-the-meantime??? I'm so ready for him. haha. pwede ba yun? ready ka for Mr. meantime but when Mr. Right comes along, i know ill be running toward the opposite direction. Paksyet.
Nagkaron kami ng female bonding ng aking officemates na sina Karyll and me2. I was pressured into having my hair cut. Syempre, i didnt go to Fix Salon whole heartedly. May trauma na ako na manumbalik ang aking úber fluffy hair at maging instrumento na naman ng mga insekto (particularly bubuyog)upang matupad ang kanilang death mission. Totoo, may mga naghaharakiring bubuyog talaga... true story.
OKay naman ang naging resulta. I told stylist A (yun talaga ang tawag, according to the brochure) to retain the length of my hair. Just make the layers more discernible at kung maaaring bawasan nya ng mga 3 pulgada ang lapad ng aking buhok.
Maganda, maganda. I have yet to see the unblow-dried version of my hairdo to give the final verdict.
At dahil feeling maganda ako, tinodo ko na ang primping process ko by applying my favorite piece of makeup these past few days, ang aking bronzer. Sa kakalagay ko, malapit na akong maihalintulad sa mga trophies ng Ecosoc. pero maganda talaga ang effect nya... para akong nag beach.... ng taglamig.
Aaaaargh, asan na ang panata kong susuportahan ang My labs ko sa lahat ng pelikula nya? asan? hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa rin napapanood ang pinakaaabangang pelikula ng aking pseudo-papa na si Piolo. bakit? Bakit? wala akong time/kasama/pera/energy. Napakadaming rason. Which reminds me, ang huli ko atang pelikula na napanood ay If Only... na noong July pa ata pinalabas. ANG PATHETIC KO.
nakupo, kelangan ko nang matulog. pupunta pa pala akong DV tom.

Ang Pangarap ko ay Ikaw... Yun eh.
Napanaginipan na naman kita.
Nakakatawa. Kahit sa panaginip, ang hirap mo pa ring abutin.
Naalala mo pa ba yung ibang panaginip ko sa yo?
Yung una, ikaw daw si Dr. Love. Ang weird na ikaw, sa lahat ng mga kasamahan ko, ang una kong napanaginipan. Wala pang 2 linggo nang magkakilala tayo nito. Wala pang 5 salita ang namamagitan sa ating dalawa. Pero... ikaw ang unang dumalaw sa aking tulog.
Pangalawa, MU na daw tayo. Walang sabi sabi, ngumiti ka, ngumiti ako, hinawakan mo ang kamay ko. Tinawag kitang beybi mahal. yun na eh.
Pangatlong pagkakataon, hindi na siguro MU ito. Kiniss mo na ako eh. Ang weird kasi kahit sa panaginip lang, parang naramdaman ko... it was how i imagined our first kiss would be, kung hindi ka lang takot magmahal.
At syempre, kagabi, ang pagkakalabuan nating dalawa. Inaya daw kita na magdinner sa bahay namin. um-oo ka naman. Parang karugtong ito ng dati kong panaginip. Masaya kasi tayo dito eh. Inutusan ko pa raw ang magulang ko na magluto ng masarap. Tinawagan kita para hanapin kung nasan ka na... malamig na ang inihaw na bangus. Nasa bahay ka pa daw, at walang balak na pumunta sa bahay namin. Naiiyak na ako nun at sinabi ko na hinihintay ka ng magulang ko.
Dumating ka at sinalubong kita. HInawakan ko yung mga kamay mo pero tinabig mo raw at sinabing, hindi ba sabi ko sayo sa weekend na ako magdidinner sa inyo? weekday pa lang ngayon. At pinakitaan mo ako ng mukhang kailanman ay hindi ko pa nakita sa yo sa totoong buhay. Galit ka daw sa akin.
Naiyak na lang ako.
bakit ka ba ganyan? ayoko na sa yo eh. pero kusang lumalabas ka sa panaginip.
tigilan mo na ako please.
Nakakatawa. Kahit sa panaginip, ang hirap mo pa ring abutin.

Revenge of the Perks 2006 Part 2
Cont. of the Minutes
Because we loooove talking about ourselves (we are self- confessed narcissist) and criticizing others, we also came into the subject of our ideal job--- being CRITICS. since we love eating, we have all decided that the common subject that we are good at is FOOD. yup.
Anna Banana, the food and music critic
Mamba, the food and book critic
Flamethrower, the food and movie critic (and everything else...haha)
Anime, the food and event critic
Tubby, the food and fashion critic
Queer, the food and grooming/ fashion critic
As you may have noticed, no one had the audacity to take on the title of the "guy critic" since we all have a failing mark in our records... except for Mamba, who doesnt have a record, thus automatically disqualifying her from the choices.
Shempre, ang record ko ay nasira nung muntik na akong magkagusto kay Dilbert, si Flamethrower kay SIB, Si Tubby kay Jhersee boy, si Anime ay many to mention, at si Queer ay si Sir Teddy Boy Locsin.
8:30 pm, nagparamdam si Tubby at tumawag sa amin... Gaano pa kabagsik ang pagpupumilit namin na pumunta siya ay talagang SOLID ang kanyang pagtanggi... at nabanggit na naman ang kanyang perennial line, "Next time" na ikina- imbyerna ni Flamethrower dahil hindi niya ito binati nung nag christmas, bagong taon at birthday ang bruha.
Shempre, hindi na kami nag attempt na mahila si Queer sapagkat may sarili na shang buhay kasama ang kanyang Hubby/ Hobby. ayun na.
Dahil malayo- layo pa ang lalakbayin namin ni mamba, nagpasya kami na umuwi na ng mga 9:30. Baka magmukha na naman kaming bakulaw kapag nagpa Late na naman kami ng uwi.
... i take note nyo ang aming pagpapanggap. Paki tampal kami pag di namin natupad at mag-ipon naman kayo ng Pampyesta pag nagawa namin.
Huwahaha... Ang saya ng 2006.

Unang pagkikita ng barkadang Perksquad (minus Tubby and Queer) at isang sanduguan ang naganap. Ito ang aming bersyon ng makasaysayang "New Year's Resolution" na sa aming pagiging realistic ay nirephrase namin at ginawang "New Year plans". OO. Madalas kaming gumawa ng plano na pag tumagal tagal ay hindi rin nagmama materialize.
Kayo ay testigo sa aming pagpapanggap.
Minutes of the meeting:
New Year plans- Created January 3, 2006, to be achieved anytime during the year

Im Back, I'm Back, You Know it
I miss myself too.
I am soooo sorry, i didnt have time to update my blog. with all the things happening in my life, I dont even have time to breathe.
There are several reasons why i havent updated my blog in years.
1. I often go home late hence have no more energy to stay awake
2. My mom dominates the computer area until 11 pm hence the lack of energy to stay awake
3. The lack of anything interesting to write about
So anyway, i will try to give you a glimpse of what i have been doing these past few days.
aaargh, can you believe it? I have been doing absolutely nothing. Apart from having Flamethrower as my house guest, there is nothing remotely interesting to write about during the holidays. I slept and binged most of the time, explaining the temporary shutdown of my vanity mode. Ayun.
I was hoping and praying that I shall have a stress free new year and I almost believed it because for the 1st two working days, i was actually relishing the "bearable lightness of being.. petiks". For the 1st two days. I should have expected that the happiness shall wear off after a few moments. Come Wednesday, everything came back to normal- normal being a stressful, all-over-the-place, im too tired to even change my clothes kind of life.
Like last thursday, i had this major breakdown when i didnt finish my deliverables for the next day because i was shooed away by the guard. Apparently, filed overtime until 7 only, and i was considered "loitering" after that. I had to go home at around 8:45 with a heavy heart.
Anyway, not everything's horrible naman. I get to meet my friends this week, Perksquad twice (minus Queer and Tubby) last tuesday and wednesday lunch and SATC Crew (minus G)last wednesday evening. It more than compensates for my bad chi this week.
