adj. Outlier - beyond the average! (Haha!)
adj. Living paradox - queen of irony | has a love - hate relationship with challenges | sometimes optimistic, sometimes pessimistic | sometimes mediocre, sometimes an expert | shy & introverted but friendly & approachable | always wants what she can't have
adj. Weird (in better terms, unique) - a complex mixture of different qualities in one creature : God - fearing | family - centered | unica hija | homebuddy | boyish | simple | creative | childlike but is never childish | cynical about love | wants to be independent | open - minded | responsible | practical | honest | observant | as unpredictable as life can get

Just Another Manic Monday
12:17 AM - Sunday, February 21, 2010
I just hate it when the clock strikes 9:00 PM on a Sunday night.
It only means one thing: that I've got to go to bed because I've got work tomorrow.
Don't get me wrong -- thank God I have a job.
But sometimes, the 2-day hiatus from work's just not enough.
Spent the whole weekend with Jo (she decided to stay here for some videoke fun, movie marathon and non-stop "kwentuhan" sessions that lasted up to 5AM) and I had fun, albeit there's significant loss of sleep.
Oh, oh Monday. Another work week. Another stress week. (Good thing I don't have to deal with some jack-ass tomorrow as he's not around. Hehehe)
Monday, you never fail to get a rise out of me. Weh.
Good night friends!!!

I was listening to the Disenchanted Kingdom (King DJ Logan, Cleo Caliente & Marf) this morning and the topics that they have discussed included a certain Stanley Philander who was besieged by relatives because the man, as per a South African national newspaper, REPORTEDLY, won the SA National Lottery.
However, when he was about to claim his winnings, the Lottery Admin said that it was not him who won the Lottery but an unnamed 43-year old woman.
Yes, the numbers were identical, however, it is said that Philander bought the ticket AFTER the draw.
Wow. Moments like these will leave someone nuts and want to smack themselves in the head and just die. How sad.
It sucks when you were given false hopes (or somehow, have developed) and then at the end of the day your bubble will be burst by reality: your hopes are in vain.
Ah, I just hate it when people give you false hopes. Well, the things that they do may be deliberate or unintentional, but still, it sucks when you suddenly realized that you believed these things and made a fool out of yourself.
Take for example, when a certain girl likes some guy, and then this girl does not do anything to flirt with the guy because, of course, she's sort of conservative or anything.
And then the guy starts doing certain things that are too nice (pa-fall) and these too-nice stuffs were misconstrued by the girl as "pa-simpleng pag-diskarte" or simply put, the girl thinks that the guy probably digs her too.
So the girl waits. And waits. And effing waits. Nothing happened.
And then she will receive news that the guy is actually attached. Well, she sort of questioned the guy before if he was in a relationship or not but then the guy denied it, so the poor girl continued dreaming on.
And so the heartbreak happens.
I remember when I was still in college, I was sooooo head-over-heels in love with a guy named JB (from another course, not Accountancy). I've been mooning over him since first year and have no plans of confessing until I discovered news that prompted me to say how I feel.
So one day, I just gathered all my wits and courage, and wrote a letter, saying:
(quoted from the movie "Love Actually")
"Just because it's Christmas,
And at Christmas you say what you feel,
WITHOUT ANY HOPE OR AGENDA (and I want to emphasize that)
To me, you are PERFECT,
and my wasted heart will always love you."
Yeah, yeah, I know, super cheesy, barf if you want, you have the right (and a point anyway).
After that, we became good friends. Much better kasi he greets me every other time we see each other, unlike before.
But the great thing about him is HE DREW A VERY FINE LINE: he befriended me without giving me false notions that he probably likes me or will probably like me in the future.
so there, no false hopes, no expectations, no disappointments (but of course I'd be a hypocrite if I'd say that I wasn't hurt; at least he was honest enough to imply).
As said by Ga Eul (Boys Over Flowers) to Yi Jeung in Episode 24...
Ga Eul: "I just want you to know that I will now stop pursuing you. I followed *name of Yi Jeong's ex-girlfriend*'s advice that you must do everything that you can so that there will be no regrets and no lingering feelings."
And the "moving on" phase was a breeze. I did everything that I can (of course, on the context that you are not harming any other people in the process and that you won't ) to let him know how I feel. So even if he did not reciprocate, it was okay because at least, I got to relieve myself from tension and get rid of the "WHAT IFs".
Probably that's the best advice that I can extend to that poor girl. Whew.
I know she did everything, but I guess, her best wasn't good enough. The guy was playing around, anyway.
That's enough, time to pack up. The guy's not worth the effort.

On memory gap and useless grievances...
9:58 PM - Tuesday, February 16, 2010
I was in a really foul mood for the past few days (since Monday, actually), and I've been really crappy up to now. Add the fact that there's pain in every inch of my body due to gym shock (I've never set foot on the gym for 3 straight months...whew), I was really disoriented.
Whenever I've got some things going on inside my head, I blog. Too bad Multiply's been blocked already at the office (damn, that internet connection is sooo useless I just want to throw my desktop outside the window) so I contented myself by typing my thoughts in Notepad, and planning to send it to my Yahoo Mail so that I can post it here when I arrive home.
And the memory gap thingy strikes again. And now I am annoyed.
I am not in the mood to re-think again and write another one similar too it. That one was too personal, too so-into-the moment and sooooo emotional to replicate. Rawr.

Pigging Out when you're on Sick Leave
1:23 AM - Monday, February 08, 2010
What a day!!!
Took a sick leave from work due to LBM symptoms. However, Jo decided to meet up with me at Trinoma today so that she can treat me to lunch (Advance Happy Valentines' Day for a single like me) at Conti's and so that she can also see the Valentines' Day-slash-Anniversary mini-movie that I've made for her (which is actually for her hubby. It's her idea, I just executed it. Hehehe)
Had a blasssssssst eating so much stuff, e.g. Roast Beef in Mushroom Sauce, Tiramisu and Mocha Frappe, however by mid-afternoon, my LBM symptoms started to make its presence felt. Had to go home at around 5pm (ang aga...whew) and had to be very careful kasi baka pakalat-kalat lang sa Trinoma si Boss at baka makita ako, sabihin eh nagliwaliw lang pala ako kaya ako um-absent. Lagot. Pero totoo namang may LBM ako eh. Hehehe
And I was really thrilled when I saw Jo's reaction. Buti naman she liked the presentation. Iba kasi ang euphoria kapag you did something for someone that that someone appreciates your work & your craft, kahit super simple. Hehehe how I wish may special someone rin akong gagawan ng ganun (LOL!) Oh well, this Valentines' Day's definitely NOT THAT DAY. Hahaha
Oh well, thanks to Jo for a wonderful meal at Conti's. Hehehe sa susunod dapat Italianni's na ha!!! ^_^
Countdown to V-day
8:37 PM - Friday, February 05, 2010
Ah, V-day is just around the corner. As usual, I have no significant other to share it with. Heehee...
Joking aside, good thing that I am already over some things...(though not COMPLETELY OVER SOMEONE) that's why I'm not too emotional about not having someone special on this day.
And good thing I have friends that are single too (LOL) and were very much willing to spend the day with me! Hahaha On 13 I'll be with my high school pals "The Cheekies" (Gam, John, Yoyo, Cielley and Millet) and on Wednesday, 10th of February, I'll be taking a break from work (due to some circumstances that I want to avoid I will be absent from work that day) and I'll be glamming up the malls with my best pal, Joan. Hehe of course on the 14th I will be hanging out with my folks, naki-date sa magulang hehehe...
And somehow, I feel like I'm contributing to the "sweetness" of that day. Why? I am currently working on Joan's mini-movie for her hubby. Hehehe anyway, he's not gonna know naman na ako yung gumawa. Idea ni Jo, ako lang ang nag-execute. Hehehe
Gotta work on it again! Ciao!
