3hrs of sleep = bangag

I slept around 12noon today, woke up around 3??? The hell... hehe.. basta gising na ko at di na makatulog pa, goodluck naman sa kin mamaya sa work di ba???

Got a learning session to attend to tonight by 8pm, plus a Focus Group Discussion with the HR after that.. I just hope, stuffs would sink in my mind in this state huh?

Anyhoo, just came from a long break from our province, Abra, as my parents arrived from Fla. Had so much fun being with my parents again after two years... and being a "yaya con ninang con tita" to my cute pamangkins - Mathel and Kant (pix to come on the next posts).

Ane news? Well my cuz' boyfriend (Mathel's dad) recently passed the board for Medicine. He's now a licensed Neurologist, hopefully, what comes next is wedding bells for him and Yeng. And sana, bridesmaid haha.. (naadik) at ninang pa rin syempz ni Mathel,, =)

What else - the big question of my relatives is "When will I get MARRIED?".. Almost all of them asked me same question over and over; as my cousins has started settling down, raising their kids.

And the answer is - NOT YET. Matagal pa noh, hahaha... I have yet to let my "prince" know that I exist.. lol..

Any pasalubong? Hmmm..as requested, Guess and Pleasures parfum...plus one more coming from my sis that has just arrived from Saudi. Chocolates? Typical.. and one thing I liked most is the huggable stuffed toy, in the form of a dog... and I named her as N****... (ops, the name's confidential, hehe)

Wala akong masyadong pasalubong, di kasi nila alam what I like, tsktsk.. typical from parents who have been away from their child for what, 13yrs now? hehe.. kaya sabi ko, CASH is good.. hihi.. =)

Uhm, enough posts for now... bangag pa ko..

Ops ---something really made me smile last night, but it's a secret! (wink wink)

Upcoming Pangasinan Trip...

di na naman ako nakakapagpost ng pics, hehe... di bale, when I get back by Sunday night, mglalagay ako ng sangkaterbang pix!.. =)

anyhoo, this coming weekend, my teammates, along with some of our officemates are going to Pangasinan, particularly in Hundred Islands.. yipeee!!!

I'm so excited about it, I've been wanting to see the place ever since, but never got the chance... the islands, the beach... cool.. sayang lang, wasn't able to buy my dream camera, Sony Cybershot DSC T2 (kelan kaya kita mabibili???)...kasi naman po, inuna ko laptop, hahaha.. adik eh. Of course, I intend to learn programming and the tech stuff that my kind of work requires, kaya ko gusto magkalaptop, hehe... (lulusot pa eh noh, gusto lng magkanet sa bahay, kasi sa office di accessible ang friendster, youtube, YM, at downloads, hehehe!) ... yup got my new compaq laptop, worth.... wag na, nakakasama ng loob, hehe.. :)

And another thing i'm sooooo excited about is, Lanie requested me to take their (together with dennis, of course) pre-nup pictorial at Hundred Islands this coming Saturday...yipee!!! I'm so excited, kasi, one, they trusted me to be the one to take their photos, though, 2nd option nila ako, as their photographer friend can't be reached.... second, ung utak ko, gumagana na, nagiimagine na ng magandang setting, positions , angles, etc, hehehe.. third, i love taking photos!!! Though I love being on the photos more, hahha.. I still love taking it, especially, pag my background na views... whoaaaa.. :D and ... may fourth pa... I love weddings!!! Pre to post, anything related to it.. kaya go prenups eto! (Speaking of wedding photography, Mimi+Karl is my fave, I always view their blog... kaya pag ako kinasal, sila rin ang magiging photographer ko... sana maafford ko (namin ng kung sino mang diablo ang mapangasawa ko! haha)

I may not be a Pro on photography, but I'll sure do my best to take good pictures of them..

Frustrated photographer ako noh, hahaha... I loved joining photo journalism back in Highschool, hehe. :)

Oh well... 2 days to go, Pangasinan trip na, hehe!

Pero bukas, valentines na.. :(

haha, ang mga loveless.. eh trabaho ang ka-date, hihihi.. =)

Keep it up and always put a smile on your face - from Ollie..

Thanks to my teammates, and some officemates and friends, for always being there for me.. :) I'll be fine, don't worry.. =)

kainis!

hay nakakainis... mapalapit ka lng sa isang tao, issue na agad...
ganun ba pag single ka, lahat pilit ina-attach sa yo??? what duh..

para lagi mo lang nakakausap, nakakabiruan, ililink ka na.. wala nang santuhan kung 'attached' yung tao o hindi... anu ba naman yun, respeto please????
maging kapartner mo lang sa game, nagkakamabutihan na raw...

eh kung lahat na lng nang makausap mo, igagawan ka ng issue... wag na nga kaya akong mkipagusap pa eh noh?? tapos mgsusuplada na lng ako ever.. hehe!bitch!

eh kung magchange preference na lng kaya ako? haha, nang girls naman ang i-link sa kin.. and not guys.. tsktsk.. mapagisipan nga yan...
from now on, I'll start trying to 'notice' gurls, wahehehe.. :)

kung hei fat choi!

I'm not actually a chinese, to celebrate new year... as mentioned on the homily of the priest , during last night's ash wednesday mass... he said, celebrating ash wednesday means - being reborn, living a new life, new way of living, new you...

And forget about being a cyclops - the one eyed monster on literature... We are actually being cyclops.. not regarding the "eye" but with us as always pertaining to ourselves "I". It's always .... I'm buying this, I'll do this, I'll eat this, I'll go there... always "I"..

Upon waking up in the morning - what shall "I" eat? what shall "I" wear?

Even if we use the word me, still connotes the same thought - what's in store for "me' in the office today?

Let's start thinking about others too... enough of catering to our own selves..what's best for us... begin taking into consideration other people too...

And it's never too late to start it now... in time for the ash wednesday... it's a time of renewal...

And of course, the meaning of the ash... we came from ash, and we'll always end up being one... so let's not forget about that..lahat tayo parepareho...

Don't be too proud of who we are ... practice humility, at all times.. :)

Minsan talaga, sa mass mo pa matutunan, o sa mass pa tayo nareremind kung paano tayo dapat as human beings... kaya don't ever forget your obligations as a Christian, a Catholic, or whatever your religion is... don't ever forget the Lord..

I'm a bit happy?

About what? About life? About friends? About work? About family?

Perhaps everything....

Smile krawdee... "okay lang yan"... "normal lang yan"... =)

goodmorning Monday!!!

Aloha! It's a brand new week ahead... and how am I?? Just lately, been thinking of leaving home, technically, leaving our boarding house. WHY??? Simply, I just can't withstand staying in the same house, with my room adjacent to my ex's????

Swear, the feeling is soooo terrible! Soooo awkward! Soooo depressing!

I got to stay inside my room, most hours of the day... hiding... in my own haven...
I sleep,listen to music, watch tv/dvd, read mags, eat... eventually, surf the net.. all in there...

I had a great Sunday yesterday, I went out with my cuz con kumare, Kaye-kaye.. we attended the holy mass at Greenbelt Chapel, had lunch at Landmark, bought 'pasalubongs' to my inaanaks and pamangkins in the province, as I'm bound to go home on the 21st-24th of Feb for a little vacation... as my parents are coming home from Fla.

Then we set off to watch a movie - 27 Dresses! Cool! I almost could relate to that - as I love weddings too, tears fall as I see the bride walking down the aisle, looking eye-to-eye with the groom , full of love and parents are giving her away...(argh! same fave spot of Jane in the movie), and, another part I love in a wedding is, the exchange of vows...

I've been wondering, will I ever experience a wedding for myself? Huh?!? Not for now, not soon.. blah blah...

Anyhoo, we enjoyed the movie...

We also went to Timezone, had some dance revo (though I'm not good at it, just for fun!)... and ate at Wendy's...

It's nice hanging around with a cousin at times, as you get to make "chika" about the rest of your clan, of your old schoolmates.. this and that..

And you get to share what's happening with you own lives now. :)

Kaye told me my inaanak, her son, Kant, 10 months old... got sick for a couple of days.. awww, sorry baby, Ninang wasn't there for you...

That's all, got a lot of stuff to do! See yah!

***Ops! May magic sing chip na kami sa bahay, hurray!!! ***
