tsaran!

hehehe..wala lng. miss ko na mag blog.. :)

i'm back...

after months of job hunting, i finally landed a job in an airline company. just finished my one week training and i'm now taking my first day-off after working seven days straight. .hahay, sa wakas pwede na ulit ako gumising ng tanghali, hehehe...

so, what happened during my seven days training?

1. learned how to check in passengers

2. got myself on the mic announcing the departure, arrival, boarding time, names of passengers who are acting like VIP's that they won't board the aircraft unless they hear their names being aired all over the airport, etc., etc., etc...

3. got a call from the operations center while i am trying my best on the PA system not to sound monotonous with my pre-boarding announcement. (shucks kaulaw! i think i sounded like i'm really reading my script,hehehe...) i can't do anything about my voice, it's so "kuya eddie" female version...hahaha!

4. saw parokya ni edgar, but i wasn't the one who checked them in. i assisted the boarding of their flight to catch a closer view of the band, hehehe..

5. woke up at 3:00 am for my morning shift. i need to be in the airport at 4:30 am. zzzzz......

so far yun lang...i'm looking forward to Kadayawan Festival, i'm sure marami pang banda ang pipila sa counter ko para magcheck in..hehehe..

i lost my iPod

shucks! i couldn't find my iPod for days now. the last time i saw it, it was just in my bag. i don't have any idea where the hell is it. i've been looking for it around the house for two days now but i still don't see any traces of my mini iPod... :(

***
kung na kanino man yun, hindi pa rin yun magiging sa 'yo kasi nakatatak sa likod nun ang pangalan ko...

what's new with me?

hi everybody! matagal-tagal na din akong hindi nakapag blog...so anong mga nangyari sa akin ng mga panahong nanahimik ako? well, i just started working in a bank but it only lasted for 4 days...hahaha! reason? marami...

- first, wala akong balak mag-overtime araw-araw para lang magbalanse ng perang hindi naman akin.

- second, ayokong mag close shoes with heels at ayoko din mag make up.

- third, hindi ko kayang magsmile buong maghapon sa opisina.

- fourth, hindi ako nag-aply sa bank nila para maging secretary ng kung sino mang kaibigan ng boss namin.

...at dahil hindi ko kayang gawin ang mga ito, itinuloy ko na lang ang aking bakasyon. masaya na ako, hindi pa ako stressed out...wala nga lang pera...heheheh

how do i feel?

'coz i'm in too deep

and i try to keep

all the thoughts in my
head

instead of goin' under...

the song says it all...

dragons and flies

sky, dragons and flies...

afternoon delight...

yesterday, while we were crossing the busy street of Ponciano, one of my officemates suddenly sang these lines at the top of her lungs. wala akong nasabi. tawa lang ako ng tawa hanggang makabalik kami ng office...

anong meron ang taong happy?

while watching tv one night, a new commercial caught my attention. the ad asks, "anong meron ang taong happy?" it was some sort of a teaser. i don't have any idea on what the commercial is all about, or what kind of product are they trying to sell.

ano nga bang meron sa taong happy? i was thinking of different products such as shampoo, laundry soap, drinks, food, something that would involve the family. i don't know why i was thinking of these things. days after, the question was answered. it turned out that they are endorsing a particular multivitamin brand that gives you the energy that you need to do the things that will make you happy.

i was not satisfied with the advertisement, maybe because i was not able to absorb the message yet. since i was registered with the unlimited text promo, i tried sending my friends with this question: "R U HAPI? IF YES, WAT MAKES U HAPI & Y?" i wanted to know their answers and prove that we do not need to buy that vitamins to be happy.

only 4 out of almost 20 recipients answered my question. these are their answers:

violet: God's presence in my life, rain, 4 in d morning, family, friends, byfriend(?)! buks! buks! fud! movies! beach! travel! old hauses! crushes! being free! :)

irene: im hapi...y? coz im alive...:)

tricia: hapi? yap, im hapi kc im enjoyingmy new job kc khit pressured eh ok p din kc challenging un job. im hapi dn kc satisfied me sa sahod ko. im 80% hapi. f mgkalovlyf me adtl 20% para complete hapines. pro khit la lovlyf im hapi. d me 2lad ni irene depres...hahaha!

amor: most of d times, yes im happy bec. i am freeto do what i wana do. sometimes im not coz i think too much of whats gonna happen to me in d future. tnx! :)

none of them answered vitamins. i was happy because based on their answers, i was able to prove that we don't need vitamins to be happy. if you were to ask me that text question, my answer would be...

yes, im happy because...

1. i have friends who are willing to answer my text messages even if some of the questions are somewhat weird;
2. all 4 of them are happy;
3. i can still smell my favorite cologne;
4. i can still taste the delicious breakfast every morning;
5. i can still feel the warmth of the sun;
6. i can still listen to my favorite songs;
7. i was able to see a dragonfly just recently (i rarely see dragonflies these days);
8. i can still find enough reasons to smile everyday;
9. i still believe in love; and
the list goes on, and on, and on...

with all these answers, i think the vitamin ad is partly right in saying that a happy person has lots of energy. we need energy to do all the things that makes us happy. but true happiness comes from the simple things that make our world a happier place to live in.

it's seven hours before christmas and i'm still stuck in the office...but i'll be home for christmas...hahaha!

yehey, pasko na!

merry christmas everybody, happy new year too! . . . "fruitcake"

minamalas!

note: this is not about mojofly's song minamalas...

i really hate this day! puro malas ang inabot ko. kakabirthday ko pa naman kahapon.

- una...iniwan ako ng partner ko sa work kasi daw hindi pa nag-aalmusal ang tatay nya. buti sana kung sinabi nya kaagad sa akin nung nasa office pa kami, e nagdecide sya nasa area na kami and malayo kaya yun sa downtown area. pagkababang pagkababa namin sa jeep, sinabi nya kaagad na may pupuntahan daw sya. sabi nya pa, dun daw muna ako umupo sa may carenderia sa tabi kasi madali lang naman daw yung lakad nya. he promised to be back at 11:30. pagtingin ko sa relo, it was only 10:15...ano, tatanga ako dun sa may carenderia ng lampas isang oras?!?! ok lang sya? e kung isumbong ko kaya sya sa boss namin...pakshet! kelangan nya daw puntahan ang tatay nya dahil hindi pa daw nag-aalmusal at may ulcer daw yun. HALLER! hindi ba kaya ng tatay nya na kumain mag-isa? kaya nya nga magtext, yun pang kumain ang hindi nya makayang gawin? kelangan pa ba nya ng tigasubo? e di sana nag-hire na lang sya ng private nurse kung ganun! i didn't argue with him because i know wala ring mangyayari kung makipagtalo man ako. dadami lang ang wrinkles ko. hindi ko rin sya tinanong kung gaano kaimportante ang lakad nya, at kung ano talaga ang reason behind that. i was really pissed off!

- pangalawa...at dahil nga nabadtrip na ako, naisipan kong pumunta na lng ng mall at kumain sa mcdo. walan gsounds sa mcdo, masyadong tahimik that's why i decided to plunge on my iPod. to my surprise, the battery was empty! i wasn't able to charge it yesterday, waaahhhh!!! di na jud ko palabot ani!

- pangatlo...delayed fieldwork, walang iPod kaya yung cellphone ang napagbalingan ko. buti na lang at unlimited ako so i could text my friend as long as i want. tumunog ang cellphone ko, i thought it was from irene dahil sya ang katext ko ng mga panahon na yun. surprise, surprise! it was from 2870 informing me that my globe nonstop text promo has been inactive...clap! clap! clap! pakilabas ng cameras please...is this suppose to be a post birthday surprise? is this a practical joke for my birthday or what? i was waiting for carlos agassi to appear from behind and say VICTIM! but there was none.

this is one helluva day! sige, sagarin nyo na ang lahat ng kamalasan, hwag na kayong magtira para bukas o sa isang araw, itodo nyo na! thursday is supposed to be my lucky day pa naman. hmp!

last song syndrome

location: dlpc ponciano office
current mood: :)

kasalukuyan akong naghahanap ng meter numbers ng mga hinayupak na respondents namin for next weeks survey. masyadong tahimik ang opisina. walang speaker ang computer ko kaya useless pang magplay ng windows media player. inaaliw ko na lamang ang sarili ko sa pagkanta. at dahil sabado, iilan lamang kaming naiwan sa office. malakas ang boses ko, sinlakas ng loob kong kumanta with feelings. paulit-ulit kong kinakanta ang chorus ng "TULOY" ng Stonefree. hindi ko ito napapansin, ngunit sa kasamaang palad ay napansin pala ito ng mga kasama ko..."Hehehe", ang aking tanging naisagot sa kanilang pagpuna. and the chorus goes like this:

tuloy, tuloy ang ikot ng mundo

hindi ito hihinto para lang sa iyo

at kung ikaw ay maiwan

ako'y babalik, ako'y babalik

at di ka pababayaan...

isang buwan na lang

1 month and 9 days to go and i will be 24. oh my god, hindi ko na pwedeng kantahin yung Real ni Plumb, hehehe. so what are my plans? nothing. no cakes, no ice creams, no balloons, no spaghettis, no party. it will just be an ordinary day for me. wala lng, madadagdagan lang naman ang edad ko. nothing extraordinary. wish ko lang magkaroon ng meteor showers para naman something extraordinary will happen, hehehe...let's just wait and see if something "extraordinary" will happen on that day, and if ever i will celebrate it, when and where would it be? baka maki-hitch na naman ako sa birthday ng pamangkin ko just like last year's.

nothing much...hohum...

i've been stuck in the house for 3 months and counting. memorize ko na lahat ng tv shows and commercials. i finished reading all the books in my room, some of them i read twice already. i have been getting enough sleep. nakapag-exam na ako sa 2 companies na inapplyan ko. had a job interview with another company (school), but unfortunately i was not hired. ang tanga kasi ng sagot ko sa last question, gggrrrrr....(i hate myself). when i left the school's HR Office, i already knew i didn't make it. nung Oct. 24-25 pa ang huli kong raket, and i'm not sure if i could still get another project to work on. sana pumasa ako dun sa last exam ko, and i hope they would hire me...i really wanna go back to work.

ang panget ng internet cafe na ito

i was really disappointed with clickerz internet cafe. ang pangit ng units nila. i used floppy disk to email my report. when i was about to get it, wala nang button to eject my diskette. i have to use tha cap of my pen to get the floppy disk. the keyboard is disabled, with only 1 stand. you have to give a full force to click the mouse. ang bagal pa ng server. sa sobrang bagal hindi ako makapagforward ng mails, hindi ako makapag-add ng comments, at hindi ako maka-log in sa ym at chikka...

sunsilk commercial

i love the jingle for the new sunsilk commercial...it goes something like this...

i opened my eyes,
i see your smile
-----------------
you're my sunshine...

*** pasensya na, hindi ko alam yung lyrics...basta gusto ko yung jingle...

this angel has flown

this angel has flown away from me, leaving me in drunken misery...

pinoy big brother mania

yesterday, while watching tv, i blurted out...

me: nasa bahay daw tayo ni kuya, housemates daw tayo sa big brother.
yaya ni ken: cge, ako daw si Cass...
me: hahaha! (trip nya rin pala ang big brother!)
sis-in-law: ikaw na lang c ate racquel, mas bagay...
me: bitaw, tapos c ken c uma.
sis-in-law: ay, bayot man c uma...c ken na lang c sam
me: nge, ganun!

Note: akala ko ako lang ang may ka-abnormalang taglay sa bahay, marami pala kami...hindi lang halata...hehehe...

help!

hahay! i'm back again after two weeks of working out of town. i got lots of things to do. i need to finish two reports which i need to submit on monday (october 10). i haven't finished harry potter book 6 yet (ako na lang yata ang hindi pa nakakatapos magbasa ng hp). i haven't cleaned my room for i guess one or two months (yaiks!). my computer badly needed a reformat/upgrade/update or whatever you may call it...basta gusto ko lng dagdagan ang memory nya to get a higher version of Windows...i'm still using windows98, gusto ko syang gawing 2000 or XP because i need to install my iPod software...damn! kailangan ko na talagang mag-edit ng playlist ko, i got lots of songs na gustung-gusto ko nang i-download pero hindi ko magawa...it can't also locate my modem and i want to go online when i'm home. i still need to find a stable job. hahay! nakakapagod mag-isip kaya naisipan kong magliwaliw muna sa SM...i'm in an internet cafe right now. i was planning to watch deuce bigalow later but changed my mind because my sister told me that the first one was better. i'm heading straight home after this to finish my report...hahay!

i'm back!

* * *

the kadayawan celebration was great! i really had fun eventhough i didn't get to watch even one of the many lined-up concerts. i personally enjoyed riding the GIANT SCRAMBLE (Octopus) and the MERRY MIXED-UP at Magsaysay Park (hehehe..magpaka-jologs daw ba!). my kadayawan celebration would not be complete if i don't get to try those rides. after the rides, kaon dayon ug durian sa kilid sa Magsaysay para kumpleto ang laag.

i want to post some pictures but i have a limited time, sayang...next time na lang pag ok na ang pc sa bahay...

hhhaaaayyyy...

it's kadayawan weekand the city is in a festive mood. while everyone is enjoying the festival, i'm busy with my jobhunting. i'm out in the city the whole day, hopping fom one comapny to another, tying my luck to land a good job. at dahil kanina ko pa ginagalugad ang buong davao city, naisip kong dumaan sa aking alma mater para umupo at magpahinga, habang nagbabasa sa bulletin board ng mga job opportunities. at eto ang ilan sa mga job openings: telemarketer (pat time/full time), pre-school teacher, accountant, machine operator, at ilan pang hindi ako qualified at hindi ko trip na trabaho. mga walang kwenta, kaya naisipan kong dumaan na lang ng canteeen paa kumain ng cassava cake at uminom ng iced tea. haaayyy...nakakapagod pala magjob hunt. dumaan din ako ng chapel, baka sakaling maawa si Lord at bigyan ako ng matinong tabaho. paglabas ko ng eskwelahan, nakita ko na may bagong branch pala ang netopia dito at naisipan kong mag-internet na lang muna, at para magpalamig na din at magpatuyo ng pawis, hehehe...at dahil napagod ako ngayon, babawi ako sa biyernes at sabado. lilibutin ko ang buong davao hindi para magjob hunt kundi para maki-celebrate ng kadayawan. magliliwaliw muna ako pansamantala. sayang din ang line-up ng mga concerts.
