really its nothing... really

"really, it's nothing... REALLY.."

the day just finished. i scrubbed the bathroom. removed the clutter from one side of the house, sweeped the floors, removed all used bottles, brought the trash out and a couple of other things. at around 5 in the afternoon, i went to have a body massage. it was nice but the place was a little bah.

i already did the planning for tomorrow's shindig. or "maliit na maliit na party."

i still need to get up early tomorow for a quick grocery. plus do a little run-through of the place. wow parang ang laki ng event.

this is the most boring post ever! EVER!

i just did this for historical purposes. he. he. he.

my birthday has just passed.

ciao!

torn

torn

i just came home.

i was up early this morning for my contract signing with the company i wanted to work for.

thing is, i have another opportunity that i need to seriously consider.

i looked at the contract and it was very precise. you have to do this, you have to do that. but when i came to ask them about the compensation and the benefits and other work related ambiguities, they were very vague. surprisingly OVERLY vague. i mean, COME ON! you're making me commit to your company with this contract and you can't give me an exact answer to my basic questions? i did not sign it.

the reason might be that plus the other opportunity i'm telling you about. whatever it is, IM FREAKING TORN...

my prayer has always been "whatever it is, let your will be done"

anyway, i'm freaking torn. dammit.

i think i'll sign the contract tomorrow instead. or not.

or maybe i will...

*sigh*

ciao!

something's brewing

OH. MY. GOD. aaaackkk!!! something good happenned and i really am so, so, so, SO excited!!!
i don't wanna jinx it though, i'm just putting it here on the record.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!

last thursday, yvette called me up to host a seminar/lecture by Manila FAME on the next year's trends on furniture, design, fashion, and consumer behavior in PICC (NellyRodi Trendlab and Material Connexion). it was fun. i got to meet new people and i also enjoyed it A LOT; a plus on my learned marketing knowledge.

pre-seminar jitters

in other news, i'll be signing the contract on monday. i just hope it works out great.

inxs: i just finished watching season 7 episode 5 of ANTM and DAMN! my girl AJ was sent home!!! hate that jaeda. aaaaarrgghhh!!!

ciao!

and so it was... short

and so it was... short!

call me vain but I LOVE MY NEW HAIR!

in fairness, i thought i'd be disappointed with my new look. i had long hair since mid-second year college and i never had it cut short. i can count in one hand how seldom i go to a barber to cut it in those two years.

anyway, i've got my friends to take my picture and video while i was on the seat nervous as hell.

and o, i got to keep my hair hehe. it's hanging in the terrace right now. lol.

right before the cut!

the cut begins

anong feeling bry?!

weeehh..

so... how do i look? hehe...

ciao!

crazy about my hair

crazy about my hair


in a matter of hours, my locks will be chopped off... waaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

oh the things you gotta do for a decent job.

i'll update later... baka may pictures pa...

back at last

back at last!
when brownout strikes

i'm back from my hiatus. the hiatus. there's so much going on in my mind right now and i don't know where to start. but here it is. (be prepared for the bombardment of text, pics and vids)

i lost my internet connection almost a month ago. had it reconnected last wednesday. but as you all know, this storm milenyo just would not cooperate with my intense longing for the internet (that sounds so geeky). when the internet was reconnected, my friends from the office were at home so all i got to do was to check my mails - 130 of them. check my blog - which was in a stand still, and check my other online stuff, which, for more unwanted information, was also on a stand still. nothing seemed to have happenned when my internet was gone. and i have to hurry doing those because my friends would like to check their mails, too. to make the story short, i was online for not more than 45 minutes.

like i said, my friends were here - bongga and marky who both left even before kat came. the ever dependable pictorial group (i'll tell you why later), sha, cha and ivar. even before that day, ivar, zin, sha and cha got their picture taken by me. and i had my first try at photography in a controlled setting like a "studio."

we had it all set up; a camera, a tripod, a bouncer, a spotlight, and of course, the moHdels. it only took a couple of minutes before everyone became comfortable (needless to say, ivar does not know UNcomfortable infront of the lens, not needing any direction from me or the others haha). anyway, like i said that day when my internet got reconnected was our third time to meet for a photoshoot. and this time, it will be kat's turn. with all the things set up and make-up done and a little creativity here and there, it's all go.

one thing i can say about this lass. HINDI SIYA HANDA! hahahaha! of course i meant that sarcastically.

here are a couple of pics i took of them. (from the very first pictorial to the third)

YURI

CHA

SHA

for some weird reason, she looks like juris of MYMP here lol

ZIN

KAT

IVAR

i don't know if it's nice or not. you be the judge. i only know so little of portrait photography (that didn't sound right). but as you can see, i like it close-up. (duh)

i also TOLD them to do this. hehe..


and when i still had nothing to do, i did this.



so with all the craziness in my house done. we had a game. and it was called "SSHH!"
the object of the game was to write down two secrets anonymously in two pieces of paper, put in a non-transaparent box, have all of us read one secret and that's it. we all sat down in a circle, all of us, kat, ivar, sha, cha and myself. with a pitcher of graperador (that sounded weird haha) we all had a shot and read the secret aloud. funny how mundane the scribbles were but the facts they tell were really explosive haha. don't bug me for their secrets because one more rule about the game is, the secret stays in the circle. anyway, i've come to love them all more because of this! lol. (fyi, in the end we all knew our secrets) after that fun, bonding game, we slept. and the next thing we know, there was a big storm and electricity was out. haay.

all of them but myself, woke up early. and to think we all slept at 6 in the morning!
at 12, sha woke me up because they were all hungry and i just HAD TO go with them to buy food. took us 2 hours to get ready and when we got down, none of us had the courage to walk on the streets with strong winds, rain and flying roofs! hahahahahaha.. we literally saw one roof fly out of its house. well, after it flew it's no longer a house lol. metals, leaves, and whole branches of trees were also flying around. and we had no choice but to stay and starve. good thing my aunt, who caters food to offices was stranded at home and we just bought food from her for a very big, big discount.

then we did this



we all looked like refugees. only we're way cuter. haha. lame.

kat was supposed to leave for a medical exam. sha had to leave to pack her stuff for a flight to bicol the following day. but i didn't want them to leave with the weather. so i had them over one more night.
the clinic where kat was to visit was closed. the flight was also cancelled. so there. all six of us making kwento in the candle light until the wee hours of the morning. and of course, they just have to bathe. but hell! they made ME pump water for them! all 8 big pails of water up and down the stairs!! well, at least it did my body well. had sculpted arms for four days in a row hahahahahaha.

so after we all took a bath, we sat. we laid down the cushions. we set up these cushions in the sala where it's way cooler than my room. we stood up. we talked. and then we got bored. kat and cha were almost asleep and ivar, sha and i decided to take a walk outside where there's cool makati-fresh air. we did, and cha went with us. we left kat sleeping on the cushions. when we're about to go down, kat was awoken and asked where we were going.

"kat, bili lang kami sa labas (LIE!) balik kami agad! (LIE!)"

"sige bilisan niyo ah!"

"no prob!"

we went around the perimeter of about six blocks. then we went back the house to sit outside. talked till 3 in the morning when my aunt asked us to be quiet. hahaha. we were like children scolded for being so noisy. then we went in.

another round of kwentuhan again and we slept at around 5 in the morning.

fun, fun, FUN two days.

the next day, sha and kat left early. ivar and cha went home at 3 in the afternoon. and i was left alone in the dark. lol.

in other news, my work doesn't begin until who knows. they said that they'd call me in the week but there was a black out and all phonelines were dead. including cellphones.

*sigh*

so as i'm now writing this, it's been almost a week since this has happenned. and i miss them already hehe. we should get together soon. maybe after sha comes back from bicol.

in another news, i have yet to get my back pay from the company i previously worked with. it's been a month! and when i called them the other day, i was on hold for 30 minutes! and then i hung up and called again. ON HOLD FOR 1 HOUR AND 15 MINS!!!!! i think they have do not want to give my salary! dammit!

o well, i have to wait for that still. i just hope i don't have to wait past my birthday, which is due in three weeks! at nagpaparinig ako! hahaha.

gosh this is getting longer than i expected. gotta end this.


** right before posting this my internet again connected and disconnected. puta. and i also made this for my beloved eNp!

MISS YOU GUYS!!

ciao!
