hindi ko siya pinansin nung una. but this morning, my left elbow was really throbbing in pain. it went away during the rest of the day but when i make a certain posture, it just hurts! i can't reach my back with my hand. what used to be such an easy task of drying myself after bathing is now a pain in the ass!

i need a chiropractor! and i need a 3-hour whole body massage...

===================

i went to school a while ago to pay my tuition for the last term. CAP, like my elbow, has been a pain in the ass for a number of months now. they still hadn't given me the check yet. so armed with three hundred US dollar bills, i went to school. i was scared of handling that amount. good thing jd picked me up on his way to school. problem is, i was supposed to sell my dollar when the bank would not accept it. i didn't know that i need to have an account to have my dollars sold. hello, it was the first time i went to a bank to sell my dollars. i usually go to the black market before. and i was supposed to the other day, but it was already 6pm when i remembered that i have to sell it for me to pay the (soaring) tuition.
anyway, i was in school, not knowing what to do with my dollars. i texted my friend, jen, to ask where i can sell it and she replied "sa harrison!"
again, scared to bring my dollars with me while walking to harrison (bear with the paranoia, it's manila for crying out loud!), i placed it inside my brief along with my 6K peso bills. hahahhahaha! i could only imagine the look on the face of the cashier if she knew where i kept it! lol...
so i was there, exchanged it, went back on a taxi. funny because the sidecars would charge 30 bucks for the distance from my school to harrison and a taxi ride only cost me 32.50! i was spared from the heat, pollution, and a near-death-experience. aannnd! with aircon! hahahaha!
i gave the taxi driver 105 pesos. he gave me 65.00. i demanded 70.00! hello! i am a struggling student who hasn't paid the tuition that was due way before last month! so sorry.

===================

o well, so it's raining tonight. it's kinda frustrating because i did my laundry, using my hands fyi, and when i got out to hang my clothes, it's freaking raining! dang-ness.

===================

i watched a documentary on the lives of filipino artists on i-witness. it somewhat inspired me to paint and draw again. a passion that i have sacrificed for quite a long time now.
i have a friend who will have a one-man show early next year. i'm envious of her. i want to have my one-man show, too! hell, if i can't star in my own play, at least let me have my own freaking one-man show! hahahaha.. well at least while watching it, i drew this.

i need something

i need something

i've been meaning to write for the longest time now. it's obvious that my posts here are more of a journal than an outlet for my creative writing juices.

my life has gone pfft in one week. no drama. no excitement. no hassles. no worries. it just makes me crazy doing nothing and worrying about nothing. not that i want all the drama i can possibly get. beneath all that, my mind is going haywire already in thinking that this is the calm before the storm. will it be? i hope not.

so. i've been trying very hard to write a letter to the elements. and maybe this week i'll make it through.

=========================

i've just found out, after going through everything on my blog, that my archives are not working! dang! i changed URL and those that were posted in my last URL (spicy-chicken-legs) would not open!! only those posts that were posted under the current URL are working. anyhoo, i'll see if i can fix that. i think i need to republish everything under this URL. omg. that's one and a half years of posts of rants, raves, poems, stories. that would take me forever! then again, i'm a bummer for two weeks. what else do i have to do?

=========================

and o, macy slept here last night. she slept here, too, last week for three straight days! and rr went here today, too! what have we got to do? they are still here and i'm thinking of going to my uncle's pub again for some beer and a night of videoke-ing. that sounded weird! hehe. videoke-ing.. hahahahahaha!

victorious and unscathed

made it through. victorious and unscathed.

damn i made it. for the first time (and the very last chance) in my college life, i've reached a GPA of above 3!! woohoo!

after long weeks of almost sleepless nights and cramming and planning and squeezing of my brain for more and more ideas, i actually made it.

so yesterday, from noon to the early evening we were drinking. along with my brothers and friends. it was fun. and somewhat depressing, knowing that it will be the last of our academic term. i'm happy too because god answered my prayers for myself and for yuri.
yuri, after almost being sure of failing a subject or two, made it through conadev! *claps*

tomorrow i've got an interview. and this time, it's for smart. i hope my groupmates and i make it through. all hopes rests in Him.

anyway, i'm really sleepy even though it's just 2:30am. so bye for now. i just have nothing to do.

ciao!

boring update

boring update

so. like i posted before, i have nothing to do now but to wait for things to happen. not really. i've been paranoid actually. i've been browsing for job postings online just in case. i've submitted three resumes online already and two has already called.

lady on the phone: hi sir, this is _____, from ________. i called to
ask if you are still interested in applying for a job here in ________.
me: oh, yes. but..
lady: are you still interested sir?
me: well, that's it actually. i am still thinking about it. i still have an
OJT, you know.
lady: oh, that's unfortunate, sir. so for now you're declining?
me: well, yes... for now.
lady: well thank you for your time sir. we'll keep in touch sir.
me: sure! thanks too!

that's how those two phone calls progressed. them offering me something and i declining. i don't know why i actually submitted my resumes on those companies actually. yeah, maybe i'm being a paranoid.

anyway, life has been boring. i hate to say this but i miss school already. darn. i'm actually aiming to be a dean's lister this term. just this term. my very last academic term. last chance. argh.

ack. this is pure nonsense already. i just decided now that i have to update this thing. o well.

and o, nikki, for unknown reason texted me last night and we talked on the phone again till almost 5 am.

ciao!

finally its over

finally... it's overrr!

so, yeah, finally, it's over! woohoo! the last of my academic term and the start of my on the job training. whew. i always say that i never thought of going this far. but now i'm here.

so anyway, what's up.

last week was my hell week. after doing my thesis for national development, i did my thesis for international marketing, service marketing, public relations in marketing and a business plan for san miguel. i don't count my oral history paper for my phil. history class because it's too easy to be called a thesis. hehe.

anyway, after almost two weeks of sleepless nights (5am or none at all), i can finally sleep the day away tomorrow. yay.

i just came home from my uncle's pub. my friends, elisa and macy, came with me to drink some booze and sing some songs. quite fun actually.

erm what else... i'm sleepy. and it's just 2:30 in the morning. hurray for me! hehe..

next week is another round of job hunting. please lang, wag niyo na kami pahirapan, mahirap ang mag commute at sumagot sa pare-parehong mga tanong!

hehe ciao!

puzzle

puzzle time



yeah, my life right now are like pieces of a puzzle. and i'm having a difficult time putting things together. i just hope i put all these things together before the year ends... rawr!

enjoy.. and thanks mimay for the idea! haha! i'm bored too you know!

and o it's supposed to look like this

ciao!

two days

two days

monday
jen was here last saturday to do her project. patty, too was here and she brought us food. not just food but the whole party package of food haha. she brought us chicken, spaghetti, spoons, forks, plates, cups and rice! balloons at boyoyong nalang, kiddie party na! haha..
it was nice of patty to bring us food. kasi di pa nakakakain si yuri ng mga 3 so she brought us the goodies hehe. thanks patty!

tuesday
i didn't know that it's going to be this "easy" for me this term. i have finished half of the things i have to do before the deadline! hurray for me!
so what now? i have a few problems though. my ineterview with nanay is cancelled because nanay left for the states without my knowledge. so i had to find for other sources. good thing vince has lolo that survived world war II. and i got a 3.0 for my philippine history class. AANNDD since we were so good in the global business game (we actually beat students from boston university, kingston and st. paul's), we ranked 5 globally! my professor was so happy that she decided to give us a 4.0 for the course since it is an application of what we have learned. yay! so thats an assured 4.0 for one subject! 5 more to go!

to do list:

• conadev report is on friday. goodluck to me.
• marketing services paper is on the 25th. hope we finish on time
• international marketing paper is on the 18th
• marketing publicity news release is on thursday (and our group hasn't started anything yet!)
• philippine history oral interview presentation is on monday, paper is also on the 25th

haay...

i know i want this to end but when it does, it will mean working already for my OJT.
omg i'm old!!!!!!

ciao!

weekly update

weekly update

this week has been tormenting. after having lost my wallet last week, i had to make do with a green paper slip my school gives to those who lost their id; making entering school premises a long process. but it's ok with me.
i'm also still waiting for the CAP cheque, which is now 2 months pending, to pay my tuition. and enrollment has started already. good thing i only have one subject to take - my thesis. so no more stressing on schedules and number of slots left.
which also brings me to another burden this week. just like what i had expected, the last two weeks of this term will be very stressful becuase all professors will be assigning different papers, projects and theses. i have a thesis on the economic development of a country in ASEAN. i am assigned to do the marketing and human resources part of our business plan for business policies. i need to design a service plan for WG&A Superferry. we need to interview an exporting firm and present the plan and analaysis on class. we need to finish a news release for the national ID system. all these are due next next week. and i have to report about my thesis on economics on wednesday.
about that. i went to DFA a while ago with some friends to resarch about the ASEAN. i know that the library of la salle would suffice but my professor, being the maarteng teacher that he is, wants us to go to different related agencies. ack! unfortunately, we were not able to research because the librarian said that we need to have the referral letter from the library and not from the dean of the department. dang. i was there last wednesday and all she said was for me to present a referral letter on friday and nothing more. had she told me to get that thing from the librarian, i would have gladly done it. but no. she's a big bitch. it's a total waste of time, money, energy and precious gas.
so what did i do after? after running around places while raining, i suddenly felt sick. so, even if i have classes at 3:40 to 6:00, i stayed home and slept. woke up at 8pm. imagine that. i felt so guilty. but then again, the guilt immediately went away after thinking to myself over and over again that it's right for me to rest than suffer the consequences later next week. that would be awful.

so after this quite lengthy post, i still have those papers to be done. so...

ciao!

lost wallet

i've lost my wallet! waaaaaaaahhh!

damn i've lost my wallet! and i have all my atm's and id's there. punyeta.
good thing i didn't put any money there. but fuck i've lost my wallet!

culprit no 1: frustration
i was so frustrated with the chaotic appearance of the house so i did a whirlwind kind of cleaning up. that is putting all those that look like trash into the trash bags without really knowing what i'm throwing.

culprit no 2: video shop
that was the last place i used my wallet.

culprit no 3: cousins
they were all here yesterday. i don't want to think that they got it but who the hell knows. dang.

waaaaaaaaaahhh. and the worst part is, just a while ago, after turning the house down in trying to find it, i fell asleep and dreamt that i found it. so much for good dreams.

ciao!

ps: whoever got it please return it to me. please! there's a big reward waiting. promise.

interview

it went well

enough said.
interview went well. i could almost feel the lung-constricting smell of the lobby and cubicles. it felt good. better than any smoke could do. hehe.

ciao!
