now i know why most of my officemates loathe riding the MRT to and from work. especially since they all get on and off it during rush hours. imagine me being squeezed to bits by, unfortunately, four men ( i don't even know if they were all the same ones all the way from quezon avenue to boni station!). wah! imagine this one guy had his armpit nearly against my face! it was so hot and cramped i thanked the Lord i did not bother to fix my hair nor put on makeup before i left QC. i undoubtedly would prefer an hour and a half comfortable bus ride as main mode of transpo to the office than the MRT after that incident.
no, i have not found a place to live yet. i don't technically live in QC but i treasured it as my second home back in my UP years. and because this week is UP fair/chemsoc execom's cup week, i have been spending a lot of time going back to my alma mater and catching up with my college friends. yesterday i just realized that our lives after our B.S.'s are all much more kulurpul, much like the spectrum produced by a white light shining through a prism. chaotic, so it seems, but kulurpul and ironically funny. i also realized that i kinda missed my chem roots. the pavilion, the chemsoc tambayan, the labs. i couldn't help but reminisce. i have officially finished college almost a year ago.
i had fun watching my baby joicee at the mr. and ms. chemsoc competition last night. talagang costume kung costume! :) anyways here are some pics, coz i'm kinda feeling lazy to narrate. the least i could tell you is that my anak and her prince won. :)
i had a great valentines day. kel and i went to church in lipa and then ate a very late dinner. earl, my brother joined us after his date, so he can hitch a ride home. everything was perfect. yakel parin. :)
p.s. i'd like to thank may thoughtful opismeyts dj, small carlo and erjo for the valentine presents/treats (hehe puro pagkain!)... and syempre my loving dad for the flowers. love you dad! ;)

we won! we won! we won!
Tuesday, February 14, 2006
last saturday was a blast. the ube jam was a huge success and to make it even more of a blessing for us, our cluster won 2nd place beating 20 other teams! i never thought we would be that blessed (lakas namin kay Lord! ahihihi) since our presentation was not much compared to the other groups with more impressive costumes and props and coz we didn't practice that much. but still, i was ecstatic when i saw our cluster perform, they were great! haha. i could not get over that performance that my family, kel and i watched the video over and over. i think i watched it over 30 times, no kidding.
how i wish i could show you the video. for the meantime take a look at this: they're my kel, kenneth, jake and rufino a.k.a. the wonders - east b cluster 3-style! haha. ang galing nila sobra. i was happy because the dancers too, were so full of energy. sulit ang naubos kong makeup! hehehe.
i guess there will really be times when you want to give up, and take the easier road, get out of the one with all the challenges. but then God will always be there, and you will feel His love calling you back wherever you are, no matter how unattached you may seem. TJG! i know you're reading this, the Lord seems to tell us something ano po? the message, so it seems, that together, cluster 3 makes magic! everytime you (TJG & TCG) do that thing you do!!! :) hehe. di pa po ko magsisingles! nagbibiro lang po ako nun. :)
i guess i'll be having a great valentines day after all. and i think it's not because something changed, but because i changed. :)

hearts day is nearing and yet i still don't have any idea how i would go through with it. given OUR present situation, i'm still trying very, very hard to understand what is or what is not going to happen. it's just like any other normal day right? hmmm. sometimes a part of me wants to believe in what my friend ele was trying to say: that sometimes single people have even more fun on valentines day. sigh.
awww. ubos na hershey's nuggets. as you can tell i've been drowning my frustrations with chocolates. especially the coconut and macadamia variety. yum. yum. but they're gone already! huhu. please tell me if you find some of these whereever except hawaii and some place else farther. :)
oh. i forgot to post this 2 weeks earlier. after months of looking for the right 6th paperback installment (which turns out, they haven't even published til january 2006) my collection of the mediator series is finally complete! and i'm ecstatic coz the series was worth finishing. so cute, i recommend it to the teeny bopper at heart. i love young adult stuff and i'm proud of it. makes me feel like i never left my teenage years behind. hahaha.
i'm actually excited for the yfc ube jam (ultimate bonding experience with jesus and music!) this saturday. lately i've been stressed about it but as the event nears, i'm getting more excited than tense. especially since our cluster will be performing to the tune of that thing you do, i'll get to see my 'kids' geared up '60s style. and guess what, kel will be impersonating (complete with lip-synching) jimmy aka jonathon schaech, the lead vocalist of the wonders. they even have the matching red suits and all. this one's not going to get pass my camcorder. haha! :)
i guess this is my last legal post while in the office. they're decommissioning our old proxy address and replacing it with a boring, blogger-yada-yada-free, one. i have to quote icar on this one: we're robots in the making. noooooooooo!!! :P

so high school
Thursday, February 9, 2006
i thought i left highschool about 5 years ago. but it seems i was dead wrong. it's funny to think that along with my introduction to the corporate life, i was reintroduced to the dramas of highschool. sick but true. i never liked highschool then (yes, i made a few great friends there, but i exclude them from the highschool packaging. they are way better than that), i'm not going to like it now. especially because people my age, even older, are not supposed to act like school children.
i could list a hundred reasons why i like my college life better than my highschool life but mainly, i cherish it because people are not narrow-minded, prejudiced and well, drama queens and kings. i don't know if it was just in my university and my schoolmates, but that's really the case. i like it better when people mind their own business and accept you for who you are. i also like it when they don't make their own truths and don't go slithering behind one's back without knowing the whole (complete. unedited. factual. truly true. unbiased. without a morsel of your own imagination) story.
please people, prove me wrong. ang tatanda na natin. prove to me that i didn't plunge myself into a pool of disgusting goo by agreeing to work here. normally i'd stay quiet as i'm not into confrontations but when a person's (especially a friend's) reputation is on the line, that's one entirely different story. i have two beautiful words for those concerned: grow up.

change. need to change.
Wednesday, February 8, 2006
lately i've noticed that i seemed to have gained a few pounds... again (that's basing only on how i look). i figured that's because i tend to eat more when i'm sad or stressed. i need to cut down the junk food and suppress my hunger a little. no more lunchtime shopping. that'll lessen my expenses too. boo 12% RVAT!
i've been too lazy this past few days. too lazy to even post an entry considering that most of my workload has been lifted. too lazy that i've been consistently tardy last week. too lazy to even change my clothes and sleep at my lola's bed... yes i doze off wherever i get to lie down, the sofa, my bedroom, my brothers' bedroom; much to my mom and dad's dismay.
i've been too hot-headed too lately. i've been blaming it on pms, worried that it might not be, and worse, that it already became an attitude problem. my psyche's becoming more and more negative each day and that has to stop. i have to watch whatever i say or think before it's too late.
despite this the Lord launched a new plan for me. it's confusing because i really can't tell if i can go through with this new 'job'. especially not this time. not when i barely have the time and the inspiration. but then i accepted it, not because i don't have a choice but because i think he's calling me to him again. with an offer like that, who can resist? my friends, please pray for me that i may be worthy of this new task.:)
p.s. i'm on the road to healing and i realized i haven't been singing and dreaming as much, i just 'think'. that's why last weekend i decided i would daydream more just like the kid i was before. it's time to put my imagination to work.
another p.s. michadiks! buhay na buhay tayo ngayon. hehe. i'm glad there are things coming our way that are truly worthy of our attention. keeps me happy too. :) love yah all. ;)
