im a blog slacker... or something like that. anyway, my point is this is my 100th post... hahaha. ive had this blog for almost a year and yet ive only posted a hundred today. shame shame.

being the shmuck that i am, i wanted to have a 'special' post to celebrate my 100th... i wanted it to be interesting enough for you guys to actually read it. hahaha. i thought of something but last minute i realized ang corny pala.. so im ditching that idea.

so this is it. my 100th post.

yipee. whooptidoo! shimemry shimmery, shine shine.

i forgot to put a title!

short list of things to do but the preparation needed for those things is a different story in itself. last friday i woke up thinking it will be an ordinary day at the office. boy, was i in for a surprise. march 17, 2006 was such an eventful day, that id would wantto note down as much of it as i remember.

(all times are approximations)
9am - i handle 2 brands (4 products), service one client and report to one boss.. all in one country
1030am - i now have 2 brands (4 products), service one client, handling 2 countries, now reporting to 2 bosses
430pm - all are the same except i lost my client
530pm - same brands, servicing 2 clients, with 2 bosses, plus physically reporting to 2 offices

im at a point in my life where if i play my cards right, i just might get more than a foot in the door of something ive wanted to try. im nervous.. and excited. and i know im pressuring myself more than i should. but im determined to give this my best. minsan lang ito maaaring mangyari sa akin.



things are moving and i hope i can manage to come out of it in a better circumstance. :)

-----------------

three years.

ive been wishing na mahuli sya sa mga hocus pocus nya, na umalis na sya, or maka-alis na ako. now its happened --- i never thought this day would come. on one (small) side, i feel bad for him... because its a vicious cycle for him and if things go the way i think they are going, then he's in for some big problems. on the other side, im happy for the freedom i now have. its time for me to grow in a better direction.

----------------

busy. busy. busy. in a good way.
i still have my tamad days but its a good kind of busy. at least i know may substance yung pinagkaka-abalahan ko.

----------------

Uncontrollable eating!

i keep munching for all sorts of reasons... to stay awake, to think better, to.. wala lang! how am i going to manage my transformation with all this inending nibbling!!!

photos

curly locks
what happens when AEs are left with little to do? KIKAY SESSION! haha.
yesterday was a rare day. one, julette was at the office AND was not stuck typing away at her computer. two, all the girls of accounts had curly hair. haha.

ive always wanted to see what i would look like with curly hair. now i know! :)

not baaaaad... me and my scrunched up nose when i smile... haaay.


merengue!
ive wanted to buy these shoes since nike launched its nike women campaign (the first one with the dancing girls).. i remember i was in cebu for a month last year and everytime i was in ayala, id look at these. NOW THEY'RE ON SALE! yun nga lang im not supposed to spend unnecessarily... so i gues ill have to wait...

i wanted these coz they remind me of jazz shoes.. and ive always wanted one... black jazz pants and black jazz shoes.. ganda especially when you point your toes! eeeeeee! kinikilig na ko just thinking of it. :p

gym gym gym

trying to get back to the habit of going to the gym. im not really sure if i ever had the habit, but bottomline, i want to try and be more responsible in going to the gym.

im used to working out with a group since back in college i have my teamates to work out with. we never really used our gym privilege and basically exercised together in between runs. so working out alone is really a bummer for me. i would most likely not go to the gym if i know ill be alone. haha.

but anyway, habits can still change. :p


lookign forward to Nike Rockstar Workout later... promise to work up a sweat!

make me feel useful

bakit feeling ko lagi na lang ako last to know? and im not given chances to be of use? palagi na lang 'if you only knew'... buti pa ibang tao, nauna pa maka-alam..

well, ill have to respect your decision. those are your secrets and problems and its up to you what you want to share with whom. i guess thats the most i can do as your friend... take every opportunity that you give me to be a friend to you. but i will not deny it to myself that it hurts and frustrates me. feeling ko conditional friendship. na there are things na off limits for me. ops, hanggang djan ka lang. alanganin. ang feeling ko helpless and useless ako. na feeling ko lagi ako naka-abang for every spare opportunity to be able to be your friend.

honestly, these are the things that are hardest for me to understand. i pray to God that you let me be the friend for you that i want to be. let me be 'of use' to you. maybe this way, i am... pero feeling ko im kept at bay.

i hope you dont get to read this because i really would not want to add to your problems. im just putting my thoughs and feelings into words so hopefully its easier for me to move on from here. the last thing i want to do is give up.

my 'true color'

Take this test at Tickle

Angel, your true color is Orange!

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

What's Your True Color?

parada ng mga manang

(written sometime during the weekend)

today i honestly got scared id end up an old maid, and live with other old maid friends.

i know i usually joke about being single, or complain about it, but deep inside i was still okay with it. but today, as a friend left with her boyfriend, and some others with their respective husbands, i felt real fear. it was as if i was given a sneak preview of how it feels to be past thirty and single (still). but im not giving up. i will brush this aside and go on keeping myself busy.

mega nega

i get pissed easily these days. i hate it. i hope its just hormones. i know its up to me to not let it be that way, but sometimes you just cant help what you feel. thats just the way it is. and its not always good to deny nor keep it to yourself. although in my case, that might be the best idea at this point.

im mega nega. well, mostly when im at the office... once im out, im much better.

breaking up is hard to do

sabi nila, mas madali daw makipag-break pag may kapalit na. una-unahan lang yan.

minsan kasi hindi ka na talaga masaya sa kung nasaan ka at kung ano yung mga nangyayari sa iyo.
minsan hindi mo na rin makita sarili mo sa kinabukasan na tutunguhan nung kalagayan mo ngayon.
minsan malungkot ka lang at nararamdaman mong may mas higit pang para sa yo.
para sa akin. ang mahalaga yung bumubuti ka. lahat ng pagdadaaanan mo, dapat masasabing mong bubuti ako.

pano naman kung pare-pareho na lang ang mga nangyayari araw araw?
pano naman kung wala ka nang magawa kung di umangal nga umangal kasi sawa ka na?
pano naman kung ang mga nakukuha mo sa araw-araw e yung mga bagay na nakakasira sa mga paninindigan mo?
sa tingin ko, hindi pagiging makasarili ang isipin mo kung saan mo gusto pumunta ang buhay mo.

makinig ka sa sarili mo... isipin mo rin ang sarili mo... gumalaw ka para sa sarili mo.

feeling numb again

weird things going on lately. i havent been getting decent sleep the past three days... i sleep past midnight and have been waking up every hour after that. but when its time to wake up, im out cold like a hybernating bear. no, its not the PBB 24/7 channel that we recently got. i think it might have something to do with some unwanted feelings and thoughts ive been fighting off. they're there but i cant explain why or where they came from. so... I deadma.

i think ive been doing a good job... i havent told a single person about them and that should speak for itself! for those who know me well enough, im a talker. and for me to will myself to keep quiet is rare.

so anyway, im back to the feeling of numbness that i think ive written about already in the past. basta, if you ask me right now... as in RIGHT NOW... im not happy. (but im not sad either... haha.)

enough vague babbling...
