Lesson in Life

One thing I learned from our most recent company outing: Never drink too much in front of "cruel" officemates. And why? Let me count the reasons:

1. They'll make you say things you'll never dare say when you're sober
2. And while saying this, they're taking your picture and worst, will take a video.
3. Record your voice while expressing your unrequited crush for someone who has no business knowing about it.

O hindi ba ang bait nila? I'll never forget you guys. Seriously. You're making me want to swear never to stay 1 meter near any kind of alcohol. At 'pag may nakita akong naka-share na video, dadanak ang dugo. Tsaka galit na tayo. Hahaha.

Out of sorts

yet again.. I don't know when it started but it grew worse and now I'm just S-A-D. I might laugh so hard at a joke but still, after it wore out, a vacuum forms and it sucks me right in. Now I'm in this black hole and the exit is not in sight. Once I manage to find my way out, I'll tell YOU all about it so that the next time another black hole is in sight, YOU can hold my hand real tight. Then I'll never be sad again because even if the current is real strong and we both got stuck, you'll always be there in the black hole with me. And maybe that's better.

Side A

I was leafing through my brother's chord list and found this song from Side A. And HAYLAVEEET! Kahit na si Sharon Cuneta yung kasama nila (sorry, I'm not a big fan talaga). Ayan in-embed ko dito sa blog hehe. Kahit hindi tugma sa state of things ngayon, I love it pa rin. Enjoy!

The heart yearned

I miss you. Miss you so badly. But not you, not really. I just miss having you around, you little punching bag. Pounding on somebody else is not as gratifying as stomping on your pride. And did I mention how I love it whenever I froth in the mouth with all the swear words I know because of you?

I'd die to see you again. See you writhe in pain at the sight of me whenever you remember. And you know what I like the most? When you spread malicious things about me because YOU can't face who you really are. Because then I know it's time for me to retaliate and inflict pain all over again.

Ahh, those were the days..

tara na, biyahe tayo! (Ilocos trip part 1)

The sun crept out from under the clouds! Well at least for the duration of our Pagudpud-Vigan trip. But boy, it was not called "Pagud"-pud for nothing! We were on the road for 16-straight hours, peeing in between long stretches and napping twenty-forever. In short, naubos na lahat ng kwento ng buhay namin, wala pa din kami sa beach. LOL. But once we got ahold of what Ilocos Norte's shoreline has to offer, every ache ceased to appear. To sum it in one word, WHOA! For evidence:


Beautiful. It didn't rain as the forecasts said. The sun smiled and laughed with us. Originally, 4 lang dapat kami but as fate would have it, naging 7 kami! And Steph's officemates (Cheska, Bri, Niki and John) are UBER-FUN! I swear they're a hoot a minute! (Note: Reimbursible, word for the day haha) Here they are in their sun-kissed glory:


Sayang they have to leave din the next day because of work-matters so the 3 of us, me, Steph and Yani had to finish our trip by ourselves. Pero dahil na rin sa kakulangan sa time and takot sa madidilim na parts to Saud Beach, we just went on to see the infamous Windmills of Bangui. Though man-made, it did not lessen their magnificence. At talaga namang matatakot ka sa sobrang laki nila! (haha, I sounded a bit too eager there for a while)

After that, I let the two pressure me into getting a tattoo (though temp lang naman) at buti na lang nagpa-pressure naman ako. I gots me a star-trail tattoo on the uppermost right-side of my back .


We spent the night rolling in the sand, star-gazing (though maliliit lang naman yung stars) at kwentuhan na naman. That's until a group of 3 (shall I say, "boys"? lol, im sure stephy would get what I'm saying) approached us to "befriend" us daw because they're new sa Pagudpud. Our initial reaction (though sa mind lang):

Me: Bago lang din kami, go bother somebody else.
Stephy: Not interested.
Yani: Matutulog na kami so go get.

So talk, talk, talk, and in the end, Steph had to give them her e-mail address na lang. We escaped to the confines of our room which made us,quoting Yani, "mga anak ng Diyos" because it is the owners' family quarters whenever they came to visit. Oh di ba, bongga? Hihi.

As Anne Curtis said in her commercial, "This is our best summer vacay," pause on the EVER part, we'll just replace it with "TO DATE" since we will be having quite a lot (please cosmic void..). I'm ending the first part of our Northern Sojourn trip here dahil sobrang haba na. hehe. Up next, step into the past in Vigan!

Too tired to crawl to work yesterday so I opted to go this morning instead. Regardless of sleeping the whole day yesterday, I still crawled to work this morning. It's already 4 in the afternoon and I have finished only 5% of my workload so far.

I miss the beach. The breeze coming from the South China Sea. The thought that I'm at the edge of the biggest island in the Philippines. The feel of the white sand under my butt. Bagnet. Pinakbet. Longganisa de Iloco. Great company. Fun. Ilocos. Summer.

Okay, I'm having what Chico Garcia calls the Post-Holiday blues. And I don't think I'll be getting out of this pit for sometime so go call me a shrink. Or better yet, send me off to Bora, all-expense paid. LOL.
