Yadayadayada..
I could talk about the pain in the ass loser in the office who seems to be making me the scapegoat of his mediocrity but it's a waste of time. Sooo... Let's talk about pleasant things.Ü Ryan got himself a 19" flatscreen monitor and I'm loving it! With his savings all drained out because of the car repair and his other computer must-have's, I wonder if it's gonna be a merry xmas..
Yesterday I went house hunting with Pau (my previous rep, now a SME or subject matter expert) and Rhiza d tomboy (still my agent). I want to move to a cheaper place because I'm never home nowadays. I usually hang out at any of my agents' place or here at Ryan's. We were unlucky though. If it's a "no vacancy", it's "ladies only" and I don't like it - 'coz I can't afford to be in a place that would not allow my bf inside my room. That's just wrong, if you know what I mean. I'm getting desperate. It's been 3 months of putting it off and I really, really need to move out before the 31st so I need not pay for next month. I'll try again and if there's none by the 29th, then I guess I'll have wait until new year to move out. Sigh.
I'm still waiting for sleep to come and I found myself looking for baby videos again. I found this instead. She's now 7 years old - Connie Talbot. Same sweet voice but not as baby as she was first seen in Britain's Got Talent. She still gives me goosebumps when she sings. Here she is in her US Debut at the Ellen Degeneres Show with grown front teeth. Kyuuuuut!

For now..
I've been trying to look for Soc's profile with hopes that I can download the other pictures of our Dalaguete trip. I finally found my way to her multiply page and no pictures (yet, I hope) but after reading some of her blogs, I think I can now look at her not as a coach and team partner but as a person. I love her for her sweet blog about the team. I loved it! Read it HERE.
The one you'll read below is also one of her blog entries. If I wasn't pre-occupied with my loss at that time, I would have written something like this. Although it may not be as beautiful..
losing my first love
this is a repost from my old blog, the original entry of the same title dated 12-22-05.
i couldn't remember the date when we first met. but the scenes are still very vivid in my mind .
you have been anticipating our arrival. yeah , my sister was with me that day , and we were to spend the whole summer in your place . i was excited and nervous at the same time because i heard a lot of things about you . then our eyes met, you had a good tan and they said its because of the long hours of swimming in the beach just a few meters away . the look in your face struck me , there was compassion , you seemed at lost for words , your eyes said so much that i cant even start to comprehend .
you were sitting beside the millstone and as i slowly inched my way to you, the serenity of your face was broken by the huge smile and you hugged me. yes you did . you hugged me real tight it hurts.
" im sorry this has to happen to you, don't worry , even if he left you , i will always be here . . ." and you cant go on , your voice was choked with tears , and maybe you forgot, but you were still hugging me and i almost cried , you havent realized your hugging me too tight it hurts ! i was almost out of air.
you're a man of medium build , they said you used to be very tall and strong until the last stroke you suffered . but it never mattered to me . i am convinced i am in love . i was 9 years old and i fell deeply in love with you . i told myself , even if i my father left us , its fine , i got you and i'm content .
i accompany you every sunday to church and everybody would glance our way , maybe because it's the first time they saw me , having been born and raised in the city.
we would hold each other's hand and i find it funny that i'm walking a little bit faster than you do .
i missed those days.
that year was especially difficult for all of us. for months you stayed in the hospital, but as usual you never lost your humor inspite of the pain and frustration you were going thru . it was painful to see you lie in bed the whole time and not see the clouds or feel the cool sea wind that you used to enjoy. you can't take pleasure in the seawater anymore and it really makes us all sad that you cant do the thing you've always loved to do - swimming, but we still had a grand time talking. you were a great storyteller. well, you've always been . and we all loved you for it.
and how can i forget? it was two years ago today when you finally said farewell to the world who had been so generous yet cruel to you . I couldn't forget how i cried when you were finally laid to rest knowing that i won't be able to see you for the rest of my life. Knowing the heavens would be wide open when you get there, is my only consolation . the world is just so unfortuante to lose you. and heaven is now more heavenly because you're there.
i just want to tell you how sorry i am for not being there with the rest of your grandchildren on this very special day .
i love you Lolo. you know how much i love you . i always will.
From my blogsite.. Friday, December 28, 2007
Yesterday was our family's mass for our Lolo who passed away a little over a year ago. It's called Hukas Lalaw, if my memory serves me right. I have the pictures on my camera and they're all candid. I might post them sometime soon. Everybody was sad and it's evident on the pictures but it was because we all miss him and wish he was there with us. To see us all happy and enjoying our youngest cousin's tantrums. I have a lot of fond memories of my Lolo and everything that I felt back then are all on my journal which I avoid reading. I cried my heart out back then and I'd cry basically anywhere. It still makes me cry to this day. That's why I have to end this now or I might embarass myself amidst these rugrats playing online games.
If not for the fact that I'm at Ryan's place, I'd probably curl up in bed and cry myself to sleep. But it's too embarrassing. I shed a tear and that's all. For now..

Embarrassing Me..
Here I am again in Ryan's computer room updating my online networking pages while waiting for him to come back home [his mom asked him to do something] and I decided to read my older blogs and I'm a little embarassed about some of the things I've said. I hated how confident I was about GR and how we can be fuckin' rock stars and eventually blogging about the closure of the company and how our homophobic/asshole/control-freak/bi-polar ex-boss ruined our once semi-organized lives. I still blog about non-sense things but I honestly think I was worse a few months back. Now that it's done, I realized my blogs about American Idol were really annoying. Ryan, you were right about temporarily removing me from your contact list, LOL. I would have done the same thing. New year is still over a month away but I firmly resolve [murag confession..] that I'll keep my worthless ideas to myself, hahahahaha! Maybe I was wrong about throwing away my journal and using it as a notebook for training. Oh, and one more thing.. I had sooo much petiks time back then to blog because there were times that I don't feel like being a rock star [sa mga kasabot lang..] Ü Ok, I'll stop now 'coz I feel I'm being non-sense again. One thing I can't stop doing though is sharing baby videos. Watch this cute baby..

Tsk tsk tsk..
I was browsing thru my friends' profile in Friendster. Most of them are in the health care industry. My mom wanted me to be a doctor or even just a nurse. When I was younger, I wanted to. But when I got older, I think I can't stand looking at surgeries live. Just last week, I rushed one of my agents to the hospital. What I thought was a simple case of amoebiasis (I hope my spelling is right) turned out to be a bad case of a bleeding kidney. Since we were stationed so far away from the main door of the ops floor, it took awhile for the guard to locate me and I even laughed thinking he was floor-walking. He said my agent is stuck in the restroom and is crying. The janitress who heard her call from inside the restroom was quick to pass the distress call to operations. I found my agent locked in a cubicle, crying and shouting in pain. The new Ilonggo nurse immediately arranged the van, the health provider and all that's needed to confine the agent. I was fine until I came back in the office and realized my trauma of going to the emergency room hit me. I felt all energy abandon my body and they said I was "luspad". Thoughts of the doctor and nurses trying to revive my Lolo about 4 years ago flashed before me.
It's now past 12noon.. I took a bath and now I'm hungry. He's taking a bath. We're both sleepy. I'm debating with myself whether I'd delete or publish this. You're crazy if you're still reading. I'm playing with the keyboard. I can type 55 words per minute without looking at the keyboard according to one online speed typing test site. He's back and he's reading while scratching his butt. I gotta go. This is so non-sense. Why are you still reading?Ü

Missing TLC..


Casuy's father passed away and it was a gloomy day for my high school barkada. More than that, it was so sad that I wasn't able to go home to pay my last respect to Tito who's one of the coolest dad in our batch. He's always the one offering me cigarettes and beer knowing I'm the only girl in the group who's very open with my bisyo.. Casuy was a good friend since grade school. He was my debut's escort. My manong. My drinking partner. And the same guy who sent me money to spend for one of my vacation back home and the one who took care of me when I was jobless for a month. It sucks that he came home from the States, albeit to bury his dad, and I wasn't there. The pictures they posted was supposedly to cheer me up but it makes me want to kill myself. No more cake and food tripping with them. No more videoke and drinking sessions. Ever since I made myself a life here in Cebu, it seems I've distanced myself from the group. I'm so depressed right now that I want to kill them all! How I wish I could just go on leave and have the money to go home in a heartbeat.. I'll just sleep so I could stop crying..

Bacolod, Masskara and Karina..

October's almost here. It's Masskara again and for the nth time, I'll miss it! The street dancing and watching it outside my lola's house. The night-outs and squeezing in the crowded plaza and reclamation area. The funny looking masks. The chicken inasal at Manokan Country with the yellow oil we pour over rice. The cansi and nila^ga^. Tikboy's chicken barbeque and grilled bread. Papa's pagi and fresh-brewed coffee every morning. And my lola's valenciana! Everything! To make it worse, Karina Antoinette Francesca Valderrama is coming home and I can't be there. Buang ka Krns!!! Hahahahahaha! You should have notified me 2 months prior 'coz leave allocation in the call center industry is as scarce as rice in the Philippines! Yudiputa! I wish I never left Bacolod and never fell in-love with Cebu and Sinulog and Ryan and the friends I made here! Diputa!!! Bwiseeeeeeeeeet!!!

Don't Read This.. It's Boring and I'm Just Ranting..
It's been a few days without cigs. It's rainy days like today that I regret having promised him I'd quit. I think I'll drug his sister, cousin and grandma so I can sneak out and smoke.. They've been given strict instructions to look after me while he's at work. I used to hide my sticks in my kikay kit, 'coz that's one place he doesn't look into. But his sister does. I know.. it sucks! If you ask me, I'm not sure if this is for good. Nobody stops me at work and temptation is everywhere..

Damn Boring!
So this is what it feels like to stay at home all day long waiting for your partner to come home. Damn boring! After sitting in front of the pc for 3 straight hours, watching non-sense youtube videos, I realized I'll never be like my mom. I will never be domesticated by a man! I feel stupid sitting here waiting for him to come home at around 2pm, holding and smelling the shirt he wore last night. I'm never the person who would be excited to go to work but I'm now wishing I could pull the time so I can go back to my pad and live my normal life. For the past 6 months, I've been spending my rest days here at his house 'coz he knows I'm embarassed to smoke with his family around the house. My team thinks I'm a kj 'coz I'd always refuse if they make plans to "kuray". One time I told them, "if you have met me 2-3 years ago, you wouldn't say that.." I've been trying to stay at home or be with him as often as I can 'coz I'D REALLY LOVE TO BREAK OFF WITH MARLBORO!
I've been caught smoking more than once since February (my original deadline) and I've charmed my way out of confrontation all the time. The last one was a li'l scary. He's very convinced I haven't had a stick for the last 2 weeks. I had a fever coupled with a phlegm-y cough ('til now) and he was certain it was part of the "withdrawal" when it was really because of stress. Then me, the ogob ng ganda forgot that he has a dupe of my key, failed to tuck away the ashtray full of butts at the back of the TV where I've proven he wouldn't see, got caught for the nth time. He was so upset and I think that if I get caught one more time, he'd leave me. So I swore - again - that I'll quit and I said I'm sorry and he said okay.
I'm giving myself a pat on the back for being able to fight my cravings for the last 4 days and 3 nights! So there.. The smoking, I can handle.. The staying at home part (there are plans already about "the future" but I still don't want to share it - puera jinx! lol) .. that I still have to think about..

Silver Belle..
This was supposed to be posted Sunday night --> Come wednesday, I'll be a silver belle. I can't help but wonder where I'll be 25 more years from now. My bf said I'd probably be six feet below the ground if I don't quit smoking soon.. I told him I've quit a long time ago but I still get caught once in a while (quitting is easier said than done). Someday...... someday I will. It's a lazy Sunday afternoon and I haven't slept since I came home from work at 12 noon. I found Ryan sleeping in my bed and it felt good, hehehehe. A few hours after, he successfully tried to stop me from giving the waitress from Shakey's a tongue-lashing. Apparently, preparing their grand slam pizza takes more than 25 minutes. Now here I am sitting in front of the laptop with an 18 inch italian sausage pizza and a glass of ice-cold coke, secretly hoping he's serious about a bad stomach so I can have a much needed cigarette break.
I wasn't able to finish the entry. I was too sleepy to chew and swallow my pizza much more to think about what to blog. Last night was his sister's birthday. Lyn2x and I went one-on-one with Emperador and after about 3 hours, we both sang our way to the room. Now, I still don't know what to blog about. I just wanted to say, F*CK YOU BIG BROTHER! I TERRIBLY MISS P.P.I. (party people international for those who are curious) AND IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR SICK AND PUNY MIND, I'D BE HAPPIER! I MISS YOU DODONG FAITH AND RYAN AND GWEN AND THEA AND GENIE AND SERGS (even if I know you're still mad at me because of somebody who I mistakenly trusted) AND VAN AND PEARL AND MARK AND GLENN AND DICKIE.. EVERYBODY! EVEN THE LITTLE GIRL IN ZERAUS!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Anyway......... Hey, have you seen this video? I think it's cute. Me like it! And have you seen the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony. Amazing fireworks!!! That's all! hehehehe.

Must See: Believe you can shine!
I intended to blog about something serious like the fact that I had another false alarm after suspecting that I was 2 months on the family way and how I've been doing with my new job. Then my bf showed me this video...

What Happened?
Somebody asked me what happened why I haven't posted a blog for a long time. Simple, my current job is not as relaxed as my previous job as a rock star (this is supposed to be sarcastic). Well, at least for now. I'm still in the product knowledge stage.. hands on. So yes, I'm still taking calls. But it wouldn't be for long. Probably 2 more weeks and I'll be sitting along with other managers for another training.
I didn't have the time to blog about the recent movies I've seen. The only free time I have is spent either drinking with new officemates or an afternoon ohhlala with my boyfriend. The weekly lagaw with Talia is a given. A week wouldn't be complete without cigarettes and corn.. and coffee.. and coke (the soda).. It's been awhile as well since I've spent my rest days here at my BF's house. Since I always wake up before everyone else, I can use the PC to my heart's content. So here I am, blogging.
I've read Bej's blog and I realized.. SHIT! I've been living on my own for the last 4 years (almost.. I came here July 10, 2004) and it's been that long since I asked for money from my parents. It's about the same time since I started supporting my sibling's education. I'm not gonna be modest but sending 2 high school student in a private institution known for being La Collecta Cuarta is not easy. Sad thing is, I still don't have any savings. My BF suggested a joint savings account. I freaked out. Don't you think that's a little serious?! But I said I'll think about it. Having someone force you to save is sometimes what you need to get started.
I saw this video a few weeks back and I think it's a shame not to share this. Enjoy while I enjoy a nice cup of hot coffee on a rainy Friday morning..

After The Long Wait...
Finally Sex and the City came to an end.. I wish I could have more time to review the movie but my shift starts in a few minutes. I was crying for the most part of the movie like I was when I watched season 1-7 in one sitting. My fave scene is definitely Big's hurrying back to the library and Carrie hitting him with flowers and the powerful "NO" from Charlotte. My heart just stopped beating. The scene was so strong that I would have replayed it over and over again if I had the power to. Unfortunately, YouTube still doesn't have that part and I don't want to spoil it totally for those who haven't seen it yet. It was very emotional and I still can't get over it.
Their dresses are really nice. I can't remember a dress without a belt. I'm not a big fan of signature brands but they really had cool stuffs! The shoes were nice eventhough I don't appreciate anything with heels. The bags.. I love them! The colors are wonderful.
Some of things I wish I'd seen would be the part where we get to see their families. No mom or dad on either first or 2nd wedding.. OOOPPPSSS! I'll stop now.
I watched Caregiver too. What the heck! Hahahaha! It was nice though. It had a happy ending but not the usual Filipino ending I expected. Great acting by the way. Well, gotta go now.

The New AI.. DAVID!
Simon did it again. He apologized once before to Katharine McPhee after his negative performance on her I Have Nothing. He apologized to David Cook for being rude to him last night. Nice..Ü
Carly and Michael Johns' performance earlier was amazing! Most of them were lucky enough to be able to sing with top artists like Seal, George Michael and Donna Summer. I thought Amanda was a bore. She looked like she wasn't happy about being part of the finale show. I thought the whole show was a blast. And Carrie Underwood definitely stole the show. She was fantastic! Gotta go, last day of training then we're off to nesting.Ü

Another 9 hours of training. I can't wait to get over with it and go straight to the real work. I wonder what my former GR officemates are doing now. I know one had started working already. Well, I can only hope all is fine with them too. I miss them sooo much. =(

Poor David..
The show's action was first reported Friday by the online Web site TMZ.
David Archuleta of Murray, Utah, is one of three contestants left as the top-rated Fox show heads toward the May 20-21 finale. The fresh-faced teenager with the big voice has consistently been deemed a front-runner by the judges and been a consistent fan favorite.
Jeff Archuleta's intense backstage involvement had become a source of concern for the series, the person connected with "American Idol" said — but it was a lyric change on Tuesday's show that pushed producers to act.
Despite a warning, Jeff Archuleta insisted on altering "Stand by Me," one of two songs his son sang on the show Tuesday. By adding a verse from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls," the father incurred additional costs for "American Idol," the person said.
Fox declined comment. Attempts to reach Jeff Archuleta for comment were unsuccessful. A phone number listed under his name in Murray, Utah, was no longer in service, and Fox did not immediately respond to a request Friday evening for help in contacting the family.
Earlier Friday, David Archuleta was honored at a hometown celebration held at his high school in Murray, during which Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman declared "David Archuleta Day."
The singer and his family declined to be interviewed at the event, but David Archuleta did speak with the Salt Lake City Fox affiliate, KSTU-TV. "Wow," he exclaimed as he viewed the cheerleading squad outside his stretch limousine.
The other finalists left in competition for the "Idol" title and a record contract are David Cook and Syesha Mercado. Cook, a native of suburban Blue Springs, Mo., had his own homecoming celebration Friday in Kansas City, while Mercado was feted Bradenton, Fla.

Dread No More!
Information overload. That has always been the case with me whenever I go on training. Three days into product specific and I'm about to throw up. The only good thing is now I understand why no matter how religiously I pay off my credit cards, the balance seems to stay almost the same. Fuckin' fees and how the payment is distributed on it first instead of the balance. No wonder the financial industry is booming. Sigh. I have to get rid of them ASAP!
