Penny for your thoughts

Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.

Bus ride

Wednesday, May 30, 2007

               It feels good to be finally home again at my hometown, Subic. Its been two weeks since I last went home and we all know what happened that time. Hehehe. I wont be jogging here for a while, the memory is still fresh. Speaking of which I received an SMS, and if my memory serves me right it was around 1:12am, it said “Still up? Gusto mo magjog tonight?”  I was too sleepy to reply, and even so to check who it was from. And when I woke up this morning I read the SMS again and found out it was my friend Mikey who sent it, and I replied “Sorry I was asleep na  last night, at ok ka lang? ala una ng umaga? Bka mapatay tayo niyan!” and the conversation went on and was later diverted to ‘where are you now?’ And ‘when are you going back to Manila?’ Then back to ‘Jogging tayo pagbalik mo dito.’ And he still wants to jog after my shift which is like 10pm. *sigh*

What you thought would get worse at night

    Ok the rainy season is indeed here. ( accept it! ) Last night it was raining hard, i could hear the loud roaring thunder, good thing i was in the office i cant imagine what i would have done if i was alone at the apartment. Ok maybe i can…uhm…crouched in one corner of my room, away from the windows and mirrors or anything that has luster and could reflect lightning and conduct heat, hands covering my ears, shrieking every time lightning strikes and thunder rolls, wolves howling in the background and to add some drama i can also imagine hearing the psycho background usually used in movies.

I miss buying shoes

   

    One thing I really miss is buying shoes, im a shoe addict, i dont know how many pairs i have, i lost track and stopped counting since 2nd year college. At present time though i havent bought a new one and its been what? like a month now i think, and im dying to get a pair! Im not imeldific i dont have a thousand pairs but i wouldnt mind if i did. When i look at my collection (its not much) I cant help but feel amazed, more so at how i feel when i dont get to buy more than one everytime i go to the mall, or when i realize that i dont have a certain color. ( hmm speaking of which i dont have red and blue yet )

Monday madness

Monday, May 28, 2007

     Its Monday again, back to work, (sigh) i haven't had enough sleep because, well, i spent the night drinking my ass off again. Vodka and tequila (just a shot) deadly combination. I am now at the office, trying to find ways to entertain myself, let's see what's in the let's-fight-boredom-kit, the internet of course, a few video sites here and a few music sites there, i got my BBQ and garlic rice next to my keyboard, earphones and im all set.   This should be a good day to work Im on a new schedule, the off tour schedule! I love it! It starts at 1pm and ends at 10pm those are the wee hours in the US, so you've guessed it right, NO CALLS!! I repeat NO CALLS!! Since ive got everything ready i'ma start loading a few vids now.

Oh yeah I came across these tests and i think they're cool:

+Who would've imagined my thoughts are worth something? hehehe

+ And last, this is how much Im worth, of course this is just some silly online test and i dont think i can ever amount to something..IM PRICELESS! 

How much are you worth?

And now i have a headache, aaawwww…

Hungry no more

Ok yesterday i was ranting about being hungry and freezing my ass off  here at the office, well now its the complete opposite, so im happy! It started during lunch yesterday, remember i said i was super hungry, Marlon, my super-gay-way-more-interesting-than-i-am friend dropped by to say hi ( it was his rest day ) He said he had nothing to do at home so he went here, yeah right like i believe that! That's just actually his way of saying "I have money I wanna go to the mall and shop, and you are soooo coming with me!" in his gayest tone ever and in response,i dont know but I must have given him the 'uhm, im kinda sleepy already' look (i really was by the way)because he quickly snapped back at me and said "We can have lunch at Tokyo Tokyo my treat!" So for someone who hasnt eaten anything since lunch the other day, and also a 'kanin-bal' and all, the minute i heard him say "Tokyo and my treat" i was weak and so i gave in to the temptation, i jumped and said "OH YEAH Im sooooo going!!!" How often would i hear Marlon say those words in one sentence? Music to my ears. Subterfuge…well played my friend…well played…

Blah

Friday, May 25, 2007

7:40am I haven't had anything good to cheer me up today 

+ I haven't eaten anything yet since lunch yesterday (which would be a shock for all of those who know me, yes i eat a lot for someone who is as skinny as i am it doesn't show) 

+ I just had 4hrs of sleep (but i still look fab!)

+ I was 10mins late for work…again (and to top it all off i was just counseled about it yesterday)

+ I just got served my very first memo from HR (for being late and apparently adjusting the skeds to cover it up)

+ It is freezing cold here at my work station

+ and there's a mouse crawling underneath the stations (eewww) 

Quite a racket huh? To think that im only at the 2nd hour of work in the office,  good for me…not! But I am now calm and collected like a principal (as marlon would like to say). I just finished logging my phone calls and typing my letter of response to the HR memo (dont ask what i wrote) so im looking forward to some quality time with my PC, and by that i mean :

* reading, sorting and deleting emails

* checking and deleting files

* uploading and deleting files

+ checking the cms monitor for overbreaks 

Aint it fun?

Well il tell u what's fun im actually looking forward to watching the finale of HEROES. Its a series by Tim Kring on NBC. The first time i saw it, it got me all crazy, so i bought a dvd in Quiapo! Its quite a bit of a saga hear at the office really, it started last year and now its come to an end (for the first season that is) I cant wait to see it, will they prevent NEW YORK City from blowing up? Who will blow it up? Will it be Peter or Sylar? Can Molly find Sylar? And if the Heroes do can they kill him? I just hope it wont leave the audience hanging (which i doubt) Ok let me change it then, uhm…aha! I hope the season finale would be able to meet my expectations. (im loading the episode as of press time)

You want spoilers for Heroes Season Two? I dont! But you can get them here.

Eleksyon

Friday, May 18, 2007

Did you guys vote? Ok i know this entry is kinda late…better than never is what they say right? Well like ive said before I am a registered voter. So i  had to go home to Subic just to vote and lost 800pesos by doing so. I noticed most of the people dont care anymore about voting, my friends were planning to have a weekend somewhere and man you should have seen their faces when i said "I cant go cuz i have to vote" They all said "Hell no??!!" in unison. Well that's how it goes, Morgan (what i call my ol man) is gonna kill me if i dont go home and vote! He even joined the PPCRV (i dont know what it stands for) but its fancy term for poll watchers. Yes the poll watchers with tshirts and vests and all that gear. Only with this one, they were not provided vests, so my dad being so excited had one made just for him. We kept on asking him "so ikaw lng naka ganyan?" and he replied in a braggy tone "OO baket ba? Kelangan ko toh maraming bulsa, with lalagyan ng flashlight in case mawalan ng ilaw mamya sa bilangan…"  hahahah. Here at the office i asked people if they were voting and most of them just gave me the "what are u talking about" look. Soooo..i guess that's a no. And true enough when i got back to work last Monday, i did not seem to find anyone else with indelible ink on their index fingers.

Hi Im Penny.
