oh yes...

why am I happy today? Let me count the ways:

- Wala SIYA! morning, may meeting cia somewhere. At bumalik man ng afternoon, I'll be gone! woohoo! Hopefully, our paths wouldn't cross all throughout this super fine day..

- I listened to The Morning Rush's Top Ten from the first batch up till the last! yipee! One of those first times that I get to do this ever since listening to the radio in the morning was prohibited in the office. Nawawala daw kasi ang concentration. (whatever yaya..)

- At dahil sa Top Ten, I decided that starting today, I'm accepting the state I am in. Never had a special romantic someone and probably won't still have one in the near future. And I'm a-ok with it. I just have to face the truth that maybe it isn't for me at the moment. That probably I'm really better off alone. And I've got to be thankful for all the people who loved me even when I am being bitchy and difficult. Those people made me realize that romantic love is not the only thing that makes the world more beautiful and less difficult to deal with.

- And lastly, I'm happy because of all the things to look forward to (i.e. affordable vacation in November at Quezon Province, dinner with my friends next Friday, my shopping exped with Yani this Saturday, the Philippine premiere of Nights in Rodanthe and my nightly reading session of Stephen King's Dreamcatcher)

To cap all this self-love-fest off, quoting Leo Buscaglia:

"What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life."

Have a good day everyone!

blah

I'm EXHAUSTED.Been going around doing work stuff, non-stop, from Monday till today. And I am yet anticipating the tiredness after my seven o'clock (that's pee-em, after the regular work-hours.. haayy) tomorrow. I know whining wouldn't help but what's a girl to do?!

injustice...

I thought all along that people, especially those belonging in companies I’ve admired and respected because of their unbending and lofty principles, are like the organization they stand for. Little did I know that although they uphold the “rules” and have been “acting fair” around you for the months that you’ve known them, fairness is not always the name of the game. Somewhere along the way, the people you’ve respected will undo your little fantasy world where people have innate goodness. In short, they burst my bubble.

I know I could be overreacting or even a little over-affected, but I know I don’t like it when I am being messed with after conscientiously following the rules. I admit that there are times I am sloppy with things because of over-enthusiasm or too much excitement but I can say that in this case, I did everything a step higher than the usual.

So I can honestly say that I didn’t deserve what happened. YOU are very fortunate that you messed with somebody at the bottom rung of the ladder and a newbie (to add insult to injury). Being what I am (at the moment, at least), I don't have the power to bash you with a dos-por-dos on the head after what you did nor can I froth in the mouth with all the swear words I know. I just hope that the law of karma can find you just fine. Good luck.

huh?

I don't know why whenever I hear this song, my insides turn to mush. Siguro kasi it described in detail what it is that I am currently in. Anyway, here's the song, Real Thing by Kalapana (which makes me miss my very good friend Yani, who will be celebrating her 7th year anniversary with boylet, Bochog.. congrats guys! )

Real Thing
Kalapana

Here comes the night
Once again
I'll be feeling lonely
Oh, if only things could work out like you plan
Where can love be
Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody
Who will stand by me
And take the time to understand
And show me love again

I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will catch me
If I should fall
Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing
I want the real thing
To warm me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Somebody who will make it all right
Just give me the real thing

Where is the moon?
Won't it smile
On just one more dreamer
Let your beams come down
And fill my empty room
Here comes the night
But if there's still a chance
That love can find me
I'll be here
Crossing my fingers

I want to know for sure
That I can feel secure
Knowing I've found an everlasting love
And once I get that under control
Then I won't let go

in a happy bubble on a monday morning =)

kahit walang morning rush dahil on vacay leave c chico and delle, at wala akong maisip na isuot this morning, i'm still bubbling with happiness because of the following:

- the weather is super agreeable (wet, cloudy and gloomy skies..)
- wala c _______ pagdating ko and got the feeling that i won't be seeing her anytime soon. yahoo!! =)
- malapit na ang payday!
- just downed my second cup of coffee for the morning (usu 1 cup lang dahil sa dami ng gawa...)

at sana tuloy-tuloy until ths afternoon (or until evening para naman hindi maging "rainy-days -and-mondays-always-get-me-down" ang drama ko today..)

happy day!

Party-partyhan (August)

Ayun, party siya. Para pala sa mga August celebrants in the office at para sa boss namin, (I won't mention who, kasi bawal.hehehe) who lives alone in his big beautiful house nung mga panahon na yun (aaww) kaya they decided to provide him with our charming company:

me and shirl

Shempre, picture-an agad pagdating. Kesehodang may konting drizzle, pose lang.

Habang nagluluto c Chrissy at gutom na kami:

Sa swingset (note to Jannet: ok ka lang? help!CPR naman dyan!):
Sa lanai, na we love so much kaya ayun, nag ala-Kamiseta ad theme kami:

Sa den na may super-comfy chair (check-out Shirl's chair) na gusto naming iuwi:
Sa living room:

Ulit with the whole gang naman:
At shempre pagkatapos dinner.. Inuman na!!!

wacky daw:

One bottle of tequila, vodka and a couple bottle of beers later (with me, Mama Sue and Chrissy super drunk dahil kami na lang ang natirang umubos ng tira-tira) the much awaited class picture of Class ITM 2008:

an UBER-HOT night

One random night in the office, my friend Steph suddenly asked me if I'll be doing anything for the rest of the night and if I'm interested to see naked (well, half lang.. and we have to make do with what is there.. hahaha) hot guys . So I was left with two choices: Grey's Anatomy 3rd season marathon+myself or naked hot guys+2 best friends? Out of curiosity (daw), I picked the 2nd one. And off we went to Cosmo's Bachelor Bash! Gen Admish nga lang, but who cares? Anyways, I'll let the pictures tell the story of one hot night:

Habang naghihintay sa labas ng office ni Yani (take note: for 30 minutes na)
Insert caption: "Yani, pag yung mga lalaking yun, nag-bihis na sa sobrang tagal mo, magkalimutan na tayo!"

But of course, lumabas din cia after around 20 more minutes kaya nakaalis din kami sa wakas.
At nagpicture-an habang wala pang interesting (i.e. naked guys) sights:


yani and me

yani, me and stephy (taking advantage of the good lighting)
kami ulit ni yani
at surprise of all surprises, nakita namin si Joyee!!!! weee!!!

at nagpa-picture sa kanya na parang celebrity lang...
And without further ado, eto na sila... na walang sawang inokray at pinagtawanan naming tatlo... nice audiences..


At ito pa:.




Well, hindi naman lahat eh disappointing. May mga mangilan-ngilan na talaga namang nalaglag ang panga namin at tinilian ng di mabilang na babae at otherwise in the vicinity. But sad to say, wala ang usual names like Derek Ramsay and Marc Nelson (na bonggang bonggang hinintay ni Yani, kaso wala talaga...tsk tsk). Oh well, we'll just wait for the next year's, baka sakaling mas madami cla. Many thanks to Stephy, who, once again, provided the tix!!! I so love freebies. hehe =p
