Happyness

After almost a month of applying and comparing offers, I've finally got the company and position that I wanted.. including the compensation, of course. Throughout this whole experience, I learned what Chris Gardner must have felt when he lost everything. A couple of days ago, I said I was gonna give up my room and temporarily live at Talia's house - for free! Embarassing but I was willing to swallow my pride. As they say, kapit sa patalim. After signing the offer, I felt an overwhelming relief and I'm now very excited to start training on Monday as a QA Analyst. Ryan and Faith both got offers too, so that's a triple YEY!

Disgusting!

So Carly is out. Next week, it'd probably be Syesha. As the judges have said, it's not that they have poor performances but they don't have enough fans to support them. No worries for both David's. The screaming fans in the studio is enough to know that they have enough people to vote for them until the finals.

Just this afternoon, I finally had the guts to watch the controversial rectum surgery scandal video in YouTube. DISGUSTING! I'm not really sure what actions were taken but I hope those doctors be suspended or something. Regardless of why the canister was there, they shouldn't have video taped it for fun, worse reproduced and broadcasted. Now the world is laughing at us. Ugh!

Will It Be Jason or Brooke?

I think David Archuleta's version of Think Of Me was cool. Not because I like him and he's my bet but because I never really liked that song until now. David Cook looked very hot, Syesha was fantastic, I didn't like Carly's performance because she was screaming for the most part of it. Jason? I dunno, my grandmama would sing that song to me everyday when I was young and she would sing that in the typical old lady voice so regardless of how people sing Memory, I'll still love it. Brooke White did it again. She had the same mistake of stopping then starting again when she sang Every Breath You Take. I think it'd be her or Jason who'll be eliminated. But I hope it's Carly. Here's my langga, hehehehe..Ü

I Miss You, PPI!!!

A few more days and it'll be a month of bumming around. I don't mind except that I'm close to being really broke! LOL! Me and my former officemates met up for a night of talking and drinking last Saturday. Funny to know that 6 out of 7 are jobless. But everybody was happy. Not totally but at least we laughed our worries away. Our professional relationship was short-lived but we bonded like no other team has. I never really talked about the experience, but now I'm open.

Our previous company was very unconventional. We go thru each day thinking tomorrow we won't have any company to go back to.. Like each day was our last. It was like being The Apprentice / Housemates of Big Brother. Each week, we were given tasks/challenges to test how serious we were with the job and to know how dedicated we were. Even before we started working, we were already given a test. We were asked if we were willing to relocate to Bacolod [back to Bacolod, I mean] and despite everything that worries me about coming home, I said yes and so as the others. I slowly said goodbye to my friends here in Cebu and my family was happy that I was coming back. Next morning, I got a text message saying I passed the test and those who said they weren't willing to relocate were subtly fired. There were nights that we had to leave work and travel all the way from Gorordo to Talamban only to be welcomed with vodka, tequilla, beer and chips. If you think it was all fun, you're wrong. Those who were too drunk and got crazy were let go. One wrong move and you're out. We get "fuck you!" and "you're stupid!" at times but it was on to the left ear and off to the right. Someone once said it was all MIND GAMES and we couldn't agree more. I could go on with all the insane tests we got thru. How we survived countless eviction days/nights but you might just think I'm making it up.

We believed in each other. We laughed and cried together. We planned our future together. We comforted each other. Gained weight together, LOL! Sang Last Night, I Love You Brother and Will You Count Me In together.. Yes, it was short-lived but I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. I'm not angry, maybe a li'l.. and I'm not blogging about this because I want to make a point. I'm talking about this because I miss the team.. A LOT! PPI [Party People International.. or President's Plan Incorporated] will always have a place in my heart.. Awwwwww..

The Coolest 2-Year Old!

Since I joined the unemployed population of the Philippines almost a month ago, I've been basically everywhere. Today's the 4th day that I've been staying over at my bf's house. He wanted me to stay here and enjoy his siblings, cousin and grandmama's company [he leaves for work at 6am and comes home at about 6pm] 'coz I've been joking a lot about wanting to commit suicide, hehehehe. This is the longest time that I've been without a job and it's getting on my nerves. Two more weeks of being jobless and I'll be a beggar. If he didn't offer to help me with my rent, I'd probably be packing my way back to Bacolod. BUT, things are looking good with 2 final interviews scheduled for next week. I'm about 75% sure I'd get a job offer before weekend.

This part is not for all. Only those involved will understand so don't PM me to fish out info, wahahahahaha. This is a message for somebody who was responsible for the misery of about 10 people. I don't know what your problem is but you've fuckin' hurt a lot of people already. You always turn the table around and think you're the victim when in fact you're always the one in control. I have accepted the fact that we could never go far with our relationship that's why I was still happy when I walked away. It was hard but I've managed and has moved on. I was fine until I learned yesterday about what you did to the rest of the guys. I'm not mad at you because of what happened to us. I'm fuckin' mad at you because of what you did to my friends! Hope you read my YM status message: If thoughts could kill, hell is probably organizing a welcome party for you by now!

Anywaaaaaaaaay, the internet connection here is pretty good and I've been randomly watching YouTube videos hoping I'd find something cool. I did. This is sooo amazing! Check out this uber cool 2-year old skateboarder!

God Bless America!!!

Finally!!! She's down! The nerve of that bitch to cry as if she doesn't deserve to be voted out. Now, we don't have to tolerate mediocrity on the performances.. Not that there won't be bad performances anymore but at least, the contestants left are worth watching. I'm just overwhelmed that she's out! Weepee!!! And it was touching to see Brooke defend the bitch. She's really a sweetie. David Archuleta looked very cute when he sat on the floor. And David Cook was even adorable when he sat next to my langga. Aaawwww..

Goosebumps My Ass!

Goosebumps?! WTF was Mariah Carey thinking when she made Kristy Lee feel like she owned the song?! She might have sang that song better than the other songs she murdered but the sight of her annoys the hell out of me! After tonight's performance, looks like Carly, Syesha or Brooke's goin' home - if VoteForTheWorst continues to support that bitch. I hope not. They're waaay better that her. Like travelling barefoot from Cebu to Bacolod. David Cook was amazing! OMG, I wanna melt hearing him belt out a half mellow, half upbeat song. I got like 10 text messages telling me they're in-love with him. Talia texted me, "It's official, David Cook and I are getting married. You're one of the bridesmaids.." However, my heart will always belong to David Archuleta. I almost cried when I missed his performance on the replay. Thank you YouTube!!!

BaGAY Ta?!

I spent the afternoon talking to our pension house's caretaker and another tenant. The former a lesbian and the latter a gay - both in their late 40's. My gay friend started ranting about how he hated his ex-boyfriend and how much he wanted to have him killed. What I thought as a shallow and another gay-guy lover's misunderstanding turned out to be another DJ Montano-Brian Gorrell case. He supported the guy's education for 3 years, sending money the minute the guy texts him asking for school needs eventhough he's pissed tired from his work as a call center representative. I know how generous he was with the guy. I was a witness to how hard he worked just so he can have enough for the guy who promised him a beautiful life as soon as he gets a job. The guy was to graduate March this year. He broke up with my friend last January. Clearly, he's done with my friend and he wants out. His reason? He wanted to be alone. I can't help but wonder, how much further would he like to be alone when all his immediate family members are beyond this world? His last message to my friend was, "I got the money, let's stop communicating.." Can you fuckin' believe that?! I just hate people who treat gays like that! I had a friend who was a cum laude from UP who wanted to write the gay version of the Vagina Monologue and Penis Talk.. His version would be Anal Confessions [hope he's done with it!]. He told me the supposedly ending of his book and I hope he gets to read this and correct me if the point come out wrong.. [This was how I remembered it..] Ang mga bakla ay parang pwet ng bayan. Pag artist or designer ka, sosyal. Pag stylist ka lng sa mumurahing parlor, tae ka. Kaya ba ng tenga o bunganga o ilong na maglabas ng tae?! Pwet lng ang may kaya nun. Kaya kaming mga bakla, we're here to stay.. and we're getting bigger!

To all of you who treat gays like trash, here's what I have to say to you and to borrow 22nd Street's joke [and I'll make it wholesome, hehehehe].. BAKLA NGA CLA PRO MALAY MO, NAGAMIT NA CLA NG TATAY MO!!!

F*ck You Kristy Lee!

When will America f*ckin' vote Kristy Lee out of American Idol?! I mean, I know Michael Johns won't win but I just can't stand seeing Kristy Lee anymore. I wanna hit the mute button everytime I see her mouth open! Watch this video and believe me, I know she's the one singing off-key - listen carefully.. it stands out. Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!

Fool's Gold Meets The Spartans

Meet The Spartans
Some parts were really funny, but others are a little bit exaggerated. Kinda like the Date Movie. The Paula Abdul impersonator was hilarious! And the Spartan greeting was sooo funny! If you're bored, then this is a good film to watch.

Fool's Gold
I think this was a li'l similar to Into The Blue but it was nice nevertheless. Matthew McConaughey was uber hot. Gosh, that body!

David Archuleta rocked tonight with his soulful rendition of Angels by Robbie Williams. I love him!!!

You Don't Mess With The..

He's got a new movie!!! OMG!!! I can't wait! I've been totally behind the movie watching scene. The last movie I've seen was Atonement, which was really good if not for the stupid people sitting in front of us. They kept on complaining about how boring the movie was and that the story wasn't good. Yeah, it wasn't for you because you can't appreciate art you morons! I really liked Saoirse Ronan, I've first seen here in I Could Never Be Your Woman. It's pretty amazing how she can speak fluently in both american and british accent at such a young age - she'll be 14 on April 12. She's Irish.

I'm still waiting for the Sex And The City Movie to be released in the US on May 30. For now, enjoy this trailer of Adam Sandler's new movie.. YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN!

MaluBYE

We said bye-bye to Malubay last Thursday. She shouldn't be sad. She can come to the Philippines anytime and be assured of stardom. I'm sure ABS-CBN and GMA are now doing all they can to get in touch with her. I hope Kristy Lee gets the boot next week. I pity Syesha, she sings better than Carly, IMHO. But she doesn't have a fan base and the judges doesn't like her very much. I think the two David will face each other in the finals. And I hope the young one wins..

Last Thursday, Ryan and I met for coffee to talk about the "what-went-wrong" episode of GR, the company that breeds gluttony. We met some of the old TRONies and most of them had "nanambok ka!" greeting and we can only say, "both of us are unemployed too!" We visited Bay 2 and it was depressing to see our old stations now empty. Sigh.

Yesterday, I started my room make-over project. I covered the room with a nice wall paper, changed the flooring and added colorful accents [I'll upload the before and after pics when I'm done, hehehehe]. Being busy with this project keeps me sane and makes me stay away from self-pity, LOL! Gotta go, another interview...
