This is me.
It’s funny how I could stick to one for years and try to salvage the whole thing if it’s on the verge of breaking apart. But…
If that someone gives me a single reason to let go, then I will. I fall in love sincerely and fast, but it seems that I could let go faster.
So, this is me. That’s life baby. If there is no reason to hold on to something anymore, then fuckin’...

Ara Mina's plea
About last week, Mo Twister put Ara Mina on the hot seat in his show when he started firing political questions to her, since she is currently running for Councilor in her family’s balwarte, Quezon City.
People reacted negatively to her flop interview (you can watch it on YouTube) and she asked for everyone to stop putting negative comments as if “pumatay siya ng tao o nanugod siya ng...
Solitary confinement
The post I made the other day made think about things.
I like taking personality tests not because it affirms whatever notion I have in mind of thy self, but most of the time, it negates the things I know about the real me. It triggers thinking—something that will consequently lead to realizing things that I am not aware of before.
Most personality tests say that I am an extrovert. I never...
Yoohoo.
“Preparing competitive intelligence reports, providing research materials and global market analysis for White & Case law firms worldwide.”
This is what I want. I want to be a Competitive Intelligence Analyst.
And when I logged in into my account, I saw that I am under consideration. Please Lord, let this be the one. I really want this job. =D Keeping my fingers crossed.

Pangarap.
Marami akong pangarap.
Isa na dun ang maakyat ko ang puno ng mangga dito samin. Yung dalawa. Para fun. Tapos dun ako sa taas magtatayo ng isang malaking tree house na walang pwedeng pumasok kung hindi ang mga kaibigan ko lang. No trespassing kumbaga.
Tapos sa loob, makikita mo maraming pagkaing gawa sa mangga. May burong, may nilupak (?!), may atchara, may shake, at kung ano ano pang pwedeng...
Routine-me-not.
I am a walking contradiction, yes, I have to admit to that.
I plan things and I prefer my life to have a rigid routine; however, I get bored easily. If you may notice, whenever I talk to people, my interest doesn’t last that long, say, for the first 10 minutes, I may be reacting to someone’s jokes but after that, I may only give smirks or qualified “uh-huhs”. Really,...
Woops.
I uninstalled Norton since it effed up my keygens and cracks. Hahaha. Then it slowed my computer a bit since Norton scans the program first before launching it. Stupid. Paired with a “security-paranoid” Win 7, it normally takes me minutes before a program opens (i.e. Word or Mozilla).
So I uninstalled Norton and downloaded Bitdefender. The first Bitdefender I installed was a trial...
Tech BS.
“Win XP will become obsolete by 2014”.
So I’ve heard.
The laptop had Win 7 Starter as its pre-installed OS, and I had no choice but to use the damn system (I was too busy last month to pass by a bootleg shop and buy a Win XP installer).
A friend of mine said that Win 7’s good for gaming. Not really. Win 7 uses a lot of RAM, and most of the programs that I currently use...
Another kind of migration.
My old laptop’s LCD effed up about 3 months ago. When mom arrived, she decided to buy me a new one and discard the old one. Well, I guess it was about time that dear old Compaq take its rest since we’ve been together already for a very, very long time.
Ilang papers ko na ang nagawa naming dalawa. Ilang papers na niya ang nagawa naming dalawa. Ilang topic rejections sa thesis ang...

Nazareno 2010, and more.
Last Friday, I was on my way to the office when I heard the news about the preparation they were making for the Black Nazarene procession the next day. Today, I bought the newspaper and saw that two people died—one due to cardiac arrest, and the other one was due to severe head injuries when he fell from the pedestal where that statue was held in place.
I remember what the news anchor said...
Wisdom is something "elderly exclusive".
I have this neighbor who has a sari-sari store. Her name’s Lucy. Sometimes, I call her Lola Tindahan because I tend to forget people’s names. I have a very bad memory with names and so I always associate people with the things that they do, or objects that remind me of them.
Just like Ate Green in the office, the one from the Engineering Department.
When I am bored at home, I go to...
An experience I will never forget.
I’ve been living in the South for more than 2 years already, however, it was only about 2 days ago that I tried to discover what it was like to hang out with my neighbors. When I was a kid, I was never permitted to go out of the house, not unless I was with my yaya, or lola, or my kababata, Danielle.
For Christ’s sake, I even wore leggings and full gear (knee and elbow pads plus that...

What was in store for me?
I spent the holidays alone.
Yes, it was something new for me, since I’ve always spent the past holidays with someone (either with mom or someone else). It was in the morning of 25th that I felt the pang of loneliness, and it was only when people greeted me through Facebook or SMS that my face lightened up.
So how did I spend it? I cleaned the house in the morning, watched a few videos and...
Something Random.
I’m happy.
Really.
To that someone who makes my heart smile with joy, thank you. =)

The dream that scared me
Around 1:30am (approx. 10 minutes ago), I had a dream. The dream was so real, I wasn’t able to recognize at first that I was indeed dreaming.
The last thing I remembered just before I dozed off was that I was in a fetal position, and a pillow was between my legs.
And then the dream began. In my dream, here was what I saw:
I opened my eyes since I wanted to shift my position. I saw the...
Figuring Things Out
My wallet cries to the fact that I spend almost P200 a day for my fare to work. A lot of my friends and people I know already gave me alternative routes to take, however, a part of me doesn’t want to sacrifice comfort with anything else—with the current route I’m taking, I still have the opportunity to doze off even for an hour.
I did some pencil-pushing the other night, and I...

My New Job.
And so, I quit my old job.
Say hello to new life.
The previous job that I had was a work from home job, so I had lots of time to spare. Before, I could be at my work station in less than 5mins, but now, I have to wake up at 5am so that I could prepare my coffee, take a shower in a jiffy, dress up and leave at exactly 6am. Travel time from South to Makati takes about 3 hours max, traffic...
