364 days late

2012-02-13T22:59:00.001+08:00

i think i made my best friend cry today. well, some tears of joy. a little drama before and giving the unfinished gift via email either made it less or more special.

did mostly that, emails, during work. good thing i got home rather early. spending the night texting. a lot.

rainy mondays don’t have to be so sad.

2 avr down

2012-02-12T23:18:00.001+08:00

nasira na naman ang avr. baka yung extension cord na ang problema. haay. sayang. yun yung lumang avr na ang tibay kahit mahigit isang dekada na.

halos paumaga na nang makauwi ako mula sa bday ni lyan sa bahay nina jo. konting inom, tugtugan at kantahan.

halos buong araw akong tulog. sablay. ewan kung badtrip sa akin ngayon ang mga magulang ko kasi tatamad-tamad ang anak nila. sana naman hindi. kahapon pa naman, sabi ko sa sarili ko, do more, achieve less tila ang nagawa ko, do none, achieve none.

nagsimula rin akong ma-down ngayong araw na ito. buti, nakaangat ng kalooban ang pagsisimba at pagkanta sa choir. at ang nakakaaliw na makinang na sapatos ni mhaelord.

kailangan kong bumili ng extension cord na sana ok. sana extension cord nga lang ang problema at hindi ang mismong outlet.

4 my voice

2012-02-11T19:09:00.001+08:00

nahuli lang ako nang kaunti sa padasal para sa anibersaryo ng pagkamatay ni ninang fro pero umabot naman. salamat at nakaalis sa trabaho at hindi nagpagabi ngayon.

medyo nadidismaya sa trabaho nitong nakaraang mga araw at buti kaya ko pa. ngayon, nakapagpahinga nang kaunti pagkatapos ng padasal, ako’y papunta na sa praktis ng choir.

sana kaya na ng boses ko. halos wala ang boses ko sa opisina nung miyerkules, absent nung huwebes (pero gumimik kasama nina best at angel nung gabi) at maayos-ayos na kahapon. inuubo pa rin pero kakayanin.

medyo late na ako para sa practice.

1 minute before time

2012-02-07T22:40:00.001+08:00

cheers to a good day turning out to be bad but not so bad that it ends good. great, in a way, with pizza and pasta since today is tita ellen’s heaven anniversary. +

i’m a bit lost for words and with things i want to check around the net, i can’t think of anything to write. funny since i’m having difficulty with my voice as well. hope to regain my voice soon.

got to work at 8:59 and left before 8pm. not bad. i should have time and energy to go out in the following weeknights, though. yes, i absolutely must.

got mu coat’s hanger today and it sucks how it was broken. repairable, though. hope the mighty bond won’t fail in time.

i got my official time for last sunday’s run, and boy was it bad. haha. i have to stop keeping the minimum and go for more.

levels 2, 3, and 4

2012-02-06T23:45:00.001+08:00

hindi kagandahan ang simula ng araw at ng linggo dahil sa masakit na katawan paggising at sa dumami nang problema sa trabaho. natapos ang araw sa trabaho nang mga 10 ng gabi. mukhang bumuti naman. sana, isa na naman ito sa mga “start bad end well” na linggo.

nagdalawang-isip ako kanina. hanggang ngayon, hindi pa ako desidido. sabi ko kay manong ronald(?), bukas, pupunta ako para sabihan siya kung bibilhin ko ang “plum 10”. pero bukas ko na siguro pagdesisyonan.

ngayon, kailangan kong magpahinga. mukhang kailangan ko ngang kunin ang katinko sa baba para guminhawa ang pakiramdam at paghinga. kailangang makasarap ng tulog ngayon.

skyrun 2012 16k finish

2012-02-05T16:29:00.001+08:00

did 16k more than 3 months after doing 16.8k. i think i’m keeping with a minimum rate and not improving. i just realized today, i shouldn’t count that adidas run as training. technically, then, it’s been a little more than 6 months that i’ve had no training.

fun day with iris doing 10k. kinda missed best who didn’t get to come. didn’t meet ailene although i saw her around the 15? km mark of her 21k run. met bianca and aldrich at the medal redemption and carl toribio at the baggage claim area.

there’s seems to be a negative thing about me doing this because i can. oh well. won’t be overanalyzing this one today. still, i should absolutely train for my next run and it should be a half-marathon again. target time for run: midyear.

tinola jam cancelled today so i got a bit more sleep. so i had mcdonald’s pancakes with iris for late breakfast and jollibee chickenjoy for late lunch. i’ll be having home cooked food for early dinner tonight.

much energy spent this weekend and some more to spend before i ends. this should have me in momentum for a difficult work week starting tomorrow. i see i’m gonna get far with this, but i should also train more.

supposed skyrim pun in title. just had to state since it’s not so obvious.

2 weddings in 2 weeks

2012-02-04T22:36:00.001+08:00

wala pang dalawang linggo ang nakalilipas nang ikasal sina sir tj at maam raizel. kanina, sina jonas at claire naman. mas may impact ito kasi matagal ko nang kaibigan si jonas. masaya.

hindi ko ide-dedicate ang post na ito sa aking mga damdamin tungkol sa kasal nila o sa ideya ng kasal. mabuti naman. maganda. napapapaniwala ka sa happy ending at sa new beginnings.

ang gusto ko sa pagdalo sa kasal, napapabihis ka nang maganda. haha. ang babaw. pero yun nga. isang bagay din ang mga kasama. picture picture. at napapa-upload na rin ako sa facebook. bagong phone, bagong taon, bagong trip.

medyo nanghihinayang lang ako sa isang retratong hindi nabili kanina sa reception. oh well.

tila wala ako sa full condition para sa condura run bukas at hindi rin tatakbo ang best ko. pre-owned din ako kay ailene dahil sa hindi ko pagtakbo sa 21k distance. hinihintay ko si iris ngayon para sabay kaming pupunta sa madaling-araw.

mangangalahati na ang weekend. sana sapat ang lakas para sa mga gagawin bukas mula umaga hanggang gabi. takbo. tugtog. kanta. sayang naman kung mapepwersa ang katawan kung kailan bumubugso ang damdamin.

5 days of work in a week

2012-02-03T23:33:00.001+08:00

i think i’m closing the work week ok. could have been much better but still ok. people starting to say goodbye, me getting to step up in position, doing things my seniors have been doing. meetings. doing interviews. emails.

i’m starting to have a sore throat. maybe it’s because of the chillz during afternoon breaktime with cesar, arianne, and jj. chicken balls, squid balls, and fish balls at ministop. nice.

after work, i bought myself a long sleeved polo. pocket ouch. well, it would have hurt more if not for the 20% off. maroon and black fine stripes. i hope it’s gonna be worth it. chose it over the violet one because at least 2 would be wearing shades of purple in jonas and claire’s wedding tomorrow. and the other one was quite shiny.

had a haircut after and went home. fruits basket looks good. i just wonder where i’m gonna stay while waiting if i go to the church early.

i hope i won’t check my email during the weekend. it’s gonna be an eventful weekend again. ah, yes, 5 days of work a week. that’s how it’s supposed to be.

2nd month

2012-02-02T23:52:00.001+08:00

ang cool ng magic kahapon. sayang, hindi masyadong napaabot sa araw na ito. kahit papaano, ang challenge ko sa sarili ko na tapusin ang araw na ito nang mabuti sa kabila ng hindi ganun kagandang simula.

nagsisimula na akong magutom. magpapadala lang ako ng ilang text at kakain na ng hapunan. kailangang magpakabusog.

party of 10

2012-01-30T23:55:00.001+08:00

little tokyo night part 2. it was expensive but worth the fun time together. it’s also quite a bookend plot device for ailene’s dccd story, though. kinda sad, though, we realized today that sunflower has been missing for some time.

to celebrate my recent birthday/promotion/employee of the year and ailene’s upcoming birthday, we had dinner at little tokyo. it was fun and filling with francis, tristan, arianne, claire and jonas, iris, cesar, and linette.

upon getting home, i prayed the rosary with my parents. i slept in the sofa—my bass which i left downstairs last night on the other sofa—a bit out of energy for the day. woke up a little later and had to go upstairs to do this blog post and get ready to charge my phones battery.

at last, it lasted more than a day. haha. smartphone problems. cesar’s got a new phone, too. haha. 3d pics. awesome.

xperia pro’s battery has been running for around 1d 9h 51m 29s now. it felt like an awesome accomplishment early this afternoon when i saw it was still at around 40% and running for more than 1 day already.

got to walk/run to work again today but unfortunately late by a minute. unintentional training for sunday? maybe. fate has its ways.

fate. today, linette and i got to talk more about our possible gig. i hope i get a good to go from yaluts.

lif'e’s a party. i realized tonight, thanks to louie, amelia, and linette, i’m getting to keep music in my life. and more than that, share it. smiles and music—great things to share.

30 day trial over

2012-01-29T23:27:00.001+08:00

mabilis lang itong blog post na ito dahil expired na ang activaion period ng windows ko. haha.

tulog na naman ako ngayong umaga ng linggo. siguro mas maaga akong nagising kung maayos ang pagtulog ko—walang internet habang nakahiga.

magandang malungkot ang panaginip ko. andun si best. tila miss ko na nga siya talaga. dapat, ngayong papasok na linggo, tutal, hindi naman ako masyadong mapipilitang mag-overtime, dapat makakuha kami ng oras lumakwatsa.

accomplishment ko bilang kaibigan ngayon, natulungan ko si krys sa problema niya sa cebu pacific. marami-raming tawag na ginawa at tinanggap yun. buti naayos at medyo swabe naman.

mukhang good to go na kami ni linette sa kanyang paanyayang mag-audition. excited na akong mag-rehearse. nakapili ako ng mga lumang kanta (90’s to early 2000’s) at may mga bago siyang kantang binigay. pwedeng-pwede. kailangang pagbutihin.

tinola jam nang mga 5pm, halos buo na namin ang pangatlong kanta. masarap ang challenge na makagawa ng bass and drum solo. sayang, hindi ko naulit yung natripang riff ni kc. hindi ko kasi maalala. haha. mukhang nagustuhan naman ni louie. very encouraging yung dalawa kahit intimidating.

nakahabol ako nang kaunti sa praktis bago ang Misa. tila may konting kaba pa sa akin. at mahirap nga talagang kumanta nang gutom. masayang kasama ang smc. medyo ginabi lang uli.

gutom, inubos ko ang amplayang nakahain. masarap pero dahil sa lasa, naengganyo na naman akong uminom ng coke. buti hindi pa umeepekto at baka na-neutralize naman ng pagkain at tubig.

ang saya naman, dumarami na ang ginagawa ko kapang weekend na hindi trabaho. sana matuloy nang maganda. hindi ko alam hanggang kailan ang trial period pero sana dumaing ang araw na maayos na routine na ang mga mangyari.

better to settle for 16km

2012-01-28T23:55:00.001+08:00

i played patintero and other games with amelia, kitchie, and daisy. then photo session. then it was talk show time with the rest of the guys, gays, and gals before jo arrived for us to start practice. beautiful song for tomorrow and quite a challenge. must be able to sustain high notes.

didn’t go to work today. i hope arianne, jj, cesar, and van did ok with their tasks for today. i don’t seem to have the enthusiasm to go to work. down. fall asleep down and well, i’ve been not so happy since tuesday.

phone fun, i downloaded and used a message and call log backup that uploads to gmail account. haha. i should remember to create a rule in windows live mail for the pop3 download.

i also got to transfer my contacts from jenny to…err…i haven’t named my new phone. got to upgrade the software too. apparently, it wasn’t and upgrade to ice cream sandwich. an upgrade nonetheless. it’s also interesting, the bundled mcafee security app. phone lock, tracking, and stuff. i hope i won’t need to use it.

missed the chance to run 21km next week. maybe it’s best to pass on 21km again. i’ll hand this one to ailene. besides, i lack training. i hope i 16km won’t be such a strain. procrastination. and fate maybe. since best will be running 5km then, i sure hope we can meet up, the three of us.

today, i didn’t get too far with things i have to do. i’ll settle for that, now, but it doesn’t mean i won’t keep aiming for better things.

3 oras mahigit

2012-01-27T23:37:00.001+08:00

hindi man nakapag-videoke night, hangout sa world chicken sa greenbelt. hindi lang ako gaanong naaliw sa kwentuhan dahil napagkwentuhan din ang iniiwasan kong isipin. masarap din naman ang pagkain kasama sina jj, arianne at cesar.

naging kwela rin ang gabi sa pagdating nina wax, fabie, coleen at meg obina. sa kasalukuyan, wala akong maisip na angkop na angkop na salita para ilarawan ang mga pangyayari. comedy? matindi? ewan. katatapos ko lang kausapin si jonas naman tungkol doon. talagang napatawag si jonas sa telepono dahil sa text ko na nagkita kami ni meg.

wala naman sana akong kakilalang may ganung pakikitungo tulad nilang dalawa.

ang halos 8+1 na oras sa trabaho, ayaw ko munang isipin ngayon. bukas, papasok pa ako. alam ko lang, lalo akong hindi natutuwa sa mga elevator ngayon. at hindi pala 2 days ang 30peso data sa smart. sana 20 na lang. nabawasan pa ako ng 10 kasi hindi ko na-off agad ang data connection. haha. oks lang .charge to experience.

highlight siguro ng umaga, naglakad ako papasok. naramdaman ko muli ang sakit sa binti pero hindi pa rin ako nagbagal. medyo training na rin. hahaha. buti sulit kahit papaano. hindi na-late.

training. kailangan kong makatakbo sa condura. marami akong dahilan para tumakbo.

3 days down the road

2012-01-26T22:32:00.001+08:00

not thinking much of the title, it sounds nice. anways, past 3 days were kind of dragging. tuesday, late for work and late for tj and raizel’s wedding. it’s nice to see those two finally getting married, though. i think it’s even nicer than when our rodriguez project ends.

it felt good to wear a coat and tie again. i wish there were more occasions that called for me to do so.

yesterday, i can’t quite remember what happened. i think i made it to work on time. went to the site in the afternoon for apparently two meetings. didn’t get to meet with my best friend after since the meetings took time. had a 7eleven hotdog after then walked to high street to register for condura skyway run at the wrong store. took a walk to market market to take the bus and had a quite ok bus nap. haha.

oh, i remember lunch break. chit chat with ailene. there’s that happy/sad atmosphere. it’s really weird trying to make things feel not weird.

today didn’t really start good. i still have a headache. this is due to me not eating right and my internet habits. i really have to get myself disciplined more now that i have a smartphone.

didn’t get to go to work during the morning. will file it as a leave without pay. i don’t really feel that productive. and something quite outside work almost got my head exploding. it’s a shame how money could get the best of people.

work aside, i’ve tried smart’s always on internet. interesting. kinda fun but i’m still measuring if it’s really worth spending on.

successfully got to avoid late night work but tomorrow sure has a lot in store. i hope we get to survive and maybe even have videoke night.

good thing about tonight is getting to eat dinner with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. also geting to pray the rosary. it sucks how i get to let some days pass without me praying the rosary. still have to make up for that.

and i’m updating my blog using my desktop. yes, it’s fun to have a ym, fb, text, and email on a phone, but a large screen and full-sized keyboard (plus a mouse once in a while) still rocks. but yeah, i’m having fun with my new smartphone. should take some pics of my elm in a while.

10-or / 854x480

2012-01-23T23:47:00.001+08:00

at ngayon na lang uli ako nakapag-post mula noong bday ko. overnight din kasi ako sa opisina noong huwebes para samahan ang aking mga kasama sa pag-aayos ng sablay. biyernes, late na rin umuwi dahil sa hassle na pressure na nakapagpahagis sa akin ng cellphone. buti, nakaalis din para makapunta sa don bosco parish para makita ang imahe ng birhen ng fatima.

kahit wala pang halfday, pumasok ako noong sabado. hindi karamihan at medyo bara-bara ang mga ginawa dahil sa panghihina at kakulangan ng pagnanais magtrabaho. hindi na ako natuloy (uli) sa pagpunta sa market market para bilhin ang gusto kong xperia pro at makipagkita kina best at angel.

halos 1pm, pauwi na ako para sa aking handa. si dogi ang nauna at halos 1pm nga dumating. hindi namin sila nahintay kumain. pagkatapos naming kumain, dumating si yaluts, tapos si cholo kasabay nina venjo at cez. masaya. sayang wala ang ilan. pero masaya. kapansin-pansin, may ilang moments of silence. nakakatawa lang din. kasabay ng mga musiko at sumasayaw sa labas, nagkakasayahan kaming magkakabarkada. patext-text din sa aking best friend. panalo.

gabi, kahit medyo malabo ang pagkakaintindi ng nanay ko sa aking paalam, nagpunta ako sa simbahan para sa practice ng choir. medyo kabado at hindi alam ang pupuntahan, tinawagan ko si amelia. nakita niya ako sa patio ng simbahan, umakyat kami sa practice, napakilala ako, sinukat ni kuya jo ang aking voice range, at ayun, kasali na ako sa choir. sana by next week (sa tulong ng facebook), memoryado ko na ang mga pangalan nila.

pagkatapos ng practice, pumunta pa kami sa bahay ni kuya jo para tumambay at mag-session at paghandaan ang mini surprice kay daisy. dagdag kakilala pa. dagdag sa mga interesanteng tao. tama ang pasya ko. medyo paumaga na lang nakauwi dahil doon.

kahapon, linggo, tanghali na ako bumangon at bumaba. text text tambay. hindi na naman ako nakalabas para bumili ng cellphone at ng regalo para sa kasal nina tj at raizel. bago magpuntang simbahan, dumaan muna si venjo para kumopya ng windows7. pagkatapos, 8pm Mass, unang sabak ko sa pagkanta sa choir sa Misa. halos clueless uli ako nung dumating ako bago ang Misa kasi alam ko magpapraktis pa muna pero hindi ko alam kung nasaan. buti na lang tumawag si maelord.

pagkatapos ng Misa, konting praktis pa para sa gagawin sa disyembre tapos kumain kami sa bahay ni sister...lector. masarap. may irish cream pa. pagkatapos, dvd trip naman kina wowa/anne. pauwi, habang naglalakad sa m.reyes kasama nina amelia, daisy, at (hindi ko maalala pangalan nung bading), may nakasalubong kaming mamang lasing na may hawak na patalim. at napabilis ang lakad namin. alas-dos pasado na naman ako nakauwi. comedy.

at tanghali na naman ako nagising. pagising-gising para magreply kay best sa text. halos tig-isang oras ang pagitan. tanghalian. tulog. sarap ng tulog ko sa sofang mahaba habang nasa kabilang sofa naman si mama.

4:30 na halos nang makaalis ako. nagsisi ako na hindi ko kinuha ang taxi na halos saktong dumating. mas mabilis sana akong makakarating sa market market. banda sa may pasong tamo, imbis na maghintay ng jeep papuntang magpuntang gate 3, minabuti ko na lang na sumakay ng jeep pasay road para magtungong greenbelt. masarap, nakapangumpisal ako. bumili na rin ako ng picture frame sa landmark pangregalo. na-late lang ako sa Misa pero masaya pa rin ako at nakapagsimba ako ngayong pista ni san ildefonso.

hindi na ako nagprusisyon. pinauwi ko na lang kina adette at judith ang regalo ko at sumakay ng taxi papuntang market market. mabilis ang transaksyon sa cellphone. xperia pro. php18,400, 6 months to pay. at ginamit ko agad sa pakikipagtext kay best. nagtingin muna ako nang konti ng laptop bago umiwi at naubusan ng baterya ang myphone ko. papunta sa bus, akala ko nawala ko pa ang elm ko. nasa kanang bulsa ko pala.

pag-uwi, download agad ng light saber app. at kumain. bukas ko na siguro kukunin ang data sa elm ko para backup bago ko i-reset at ibigay kay mama. sana hindi siya ma-hassle sa paggamit nito lalo na sa pag-charge. nagamay ko na halos ang bagong cellphone. nagchacharge ngayon.

panalo. ang mga araw mula noong bday ko. kahit may mga kabadtripan, daig pa rin ng mga dapat ikasaya. bagong mga kaibigan, bagong trip, bagong cellphone, bagong pag-asa.

1 of 3

2012-01-18T22:54:00.001+08:00

1st of 3 happiest days of the year somehow successful. got a few good smiles. and voyager class dark of the moon optimus prime. got a fun sister. yeah, i may not be a fan of michael bay’s transformers movies but i am a fan of optimus prime.

today’s first reading was kinda violent, but as a child, i looked at king david as a hero. and the Gospel reading was about doing what is right in God despite what the law as told by man is.

if i have to have a birthday wish, or set a goal, it’s for me to be a hero.

gone through the day at work, well, i really can’t describe. i realized i really don’t know how to react when greeted and asked about my birthday. the irony, how special i hold my birthday, i do not share it so much with people. i hope they don’t take it against me. and maybe it’s because with the poeple usually around me, i’m more of an everyday person.

on top of everything, i sure hope that i get to do that wish of mine and more days will be happier for more people and for the glory of the Lord—yes, that’s part of me being a hero.

16 + 9 + 1

2012-01-18T04:05:00.001+08:00

nagising ako sa isang panaginip kung saan tumatakbo kami. may pagtakbo sa isang parang mall. at may pagtakbo sa isang parang malaking mansyon. halos sa mga hagdan. tila training din.

3:55AM ngayon sa relo. halos kalahating oras na akong gising. masarap ang pakiramdam na magising nang ganitong oras, isang oras na madalas ay patulog pa lang ako. masarap ding gumising na may mababasa ka sa cellphone na mga text na magpapangiti sa iyo.

maraming bagay na maaaring magpalungkot sa akin ngayon, kaya mas matindi ang saya pag nangyari ang isang tunay na ngiti sa araw na ito.

salamat po +.

at least 25.99

2012-01-17T22:38:00.001+08:00

i think i should be at least 25.99 years now. it’s not really me to do the looking back on how the year or years went on a time like this. i’m more often a day by day person. and it was a pretty tiring day today with a handful of things left to be done.

i walked home a quarter before 10 and arrived with my parents about halfway through the rosary. aww… if only i took the jeepney. even still, the calm that being in prayer brings, i love it.

didn’t go for 8

2012-01-16T23:17:00.001+08:00

pahinga at marami-raming hindi nasulit na oras ang dulot ng hindi pagpasok kanina. may ok at hindi ok, pero maganda rin ang pagtatapos ng araw.

umalis ako ng bahay nang mga 5pm. masarap ang pagtambay at pag-inom ng kape kasama ang aking best friend. at syempre, ang sarap din ng cheese cake. nakapagtingin na rin ng presyo ng cellphone at na-inspire din ako sa kanyang mas magandang relasyon sa kanyang nanay.

ang sarap din ng pakiramdam nang mapansin ko na nakapagrosaryo ako kasama ng mga magulang ko ngayong gabi. matagal kong hindi nagawa iyon.

isang kinalulungkot ko sa hindi ko pagpasok ay nahindi ko sila natutulungan sa opisina ngayon. hindi ko rin nadadamayan sa hirap. sana hindi sila panghinaan ng loob.

madalas, naiisip ko, makapagpasaya ako ng mga tao, masaya na ako. ang saya na malaman na nagagawa iyon sa pagpapasalamat lang ni krys sa paalalang ngumiti, pagsabi ni best na nabibigan ko siya ng lakas ng loob, at iba pang tulad na salita—panalo. bukas, utang ko sa mga katrabaho ko na maging masaya at matagumpay ang araw namin.

mukhang sapat na ang recharge ko ngayon. buti talaga hindi tumuloy sa 8 straight days ang pagpasok ko sa opisina.

may milestones nga pala ako sa aking online na buhay. kagabi ba yun o kaninang madaling-araw? basta, unang twitpic at unang facebook photo album. haha. salamat sa space tinola at sa pictures mula kay iris.

7 days straight

2012-01-15T22:41:00.001+08:00

went to the office on all the days of this week. i think i’m going for 8. i feel like i’m trying to be a hero. and it’s a good feeling to somehow have allies.

pretty challenging week. last destination before home sweet home is Magallanes Parish Church for Sunday Mass. then i remembered, as a child, i wanted to be a saint. and earlier tonight, i realized how blessed i am. there is just so much to be thankful for despite all that aren’t so nice. now i wish i could share the blessings. challenge accepted.

level 3

2012-01-14T18:08:00.001+08:00

masarap makatanggap ng papuri. nasusulit ang hirap. kailangang maipasa sa mga karapat-dapat ang saya.

pero corned tuna dinner muna ngayon, tapos last minute practice/memorize, tapos gig.

3 tough days

2012-01-11T23:59:00.001+08:00

pretty tough three days. monday, went home at… err… went home tuesday. work’s gone pretty demanding again. had a slice of cheese cake for dinner c/o danilo. had to have a cheeseburger meal at mcdonald’s on my way home. couldn’t go sad. it was already january 10.

plan wasn’t well planned and none of the backup plans were done yesterday, though. maybe a message from fate. maybe fate doesn’t agree with the timing i wanted. eitherway, knowing and remembering a smile was enough. 24 hours through it, it was a happy day.

today, i had to leave my bass at the office since site meeting ended a bit late so i headed to roaa without picking up my bass. nice jam but could have been better with abbey. and it was a mini adventure going to tapa king and having kingkangkong for dine in.

work seems to be going smoothly and fulfilling somehow. project’s gonna end soon. as danilo said, glory days are coming.

day 2 winning streak

2012-01-08T23:31:00.001+08:00

naglaro muna uli ako ng nfs world. treasure hunt. 2-day streak na sa treasure hunt. tingnan natin kailan uli mabe-break. pero ok na ako na yun ang ma-break kaysa heartbreak na naman. 2 days to go, january 10 na. pupusta ba ako uli? nakakakaba kaya.

bukas, 2 taon na ang nakalilipas, napakasaya ko. ngayon, 2 taon ang lumipas, nasa biyahe kami. hindi ko inasahan ang lahat ng nangyari mula noon hanggang sa ilang buwan pagkatapos.

lunes na naman bukas. medyo matagumpay ang cramming ko kanina sa pagpraktis ng mga tugtog pero bitin pa rin. ok naman ang tinola jam pero kailangan pa rin naming mag-session uli sa miyerkules.

8pm ako nagsimba, pagkatapos ng halos lahat ng mga pangyayari ngayong nagdaang linggo. palusot? hehe. pero nakasanayan ko na rin kasi na linggo nang gabi para mas malapit sa lunes kung kailan nagsisimula ang linggo ko.

bago ang Misa, nilapitan ako ng tatlong babaeng miyembro pala ng choir. isang paanyaya. hindi ako tumanggi. may kakaibang pakiramdam. kinalulungkot ko lang na hindi ako makakadalo sa sabado. sana, sana talaga, isa nga itong tawag na masasagot ko. isang bago sa buhay ko. sana hindi mag-expire agad ang pagkakataon.

level 9 cop and racer

2012-01-07T22:40:00.001+08:00

it’s like writer’s block, how i can’t drive myself to prepare for tuesday.

i didn’t also seem to accomplish much today aside from getting level 9 as a cop in need for speed hot pursuit—if that’s even an accomplishment.

got myself some good amount of sleep, though. if my wakefulness at the moment will keep up, i have until dawn to practice my parts for tomorrow’s tinola jam.

the amount of sleep and slack time in front of the pc (hmm… mostly spent today watching gundam) eats time from my weekend. maybe this is still part of that slow start. or slow pre-start? it’s gonna be my birthday soon. now, that’s a more significant turning point than the change of the year. that’s when i actually should level up as a person.

hindi talaga ako sigurado sa bilang. pero parang lima nga. pagkaligo ko, sa pagbalot ko sa sarili ko ng twalya para magtuyo, naramdaman ko ang kagat ng mga langgam. aray.

na-late ako nang halos isang minuto sa trabaho ngayon. oh well. kahit papaano, masaya naman at sa kabila ng tensyon, may mga naipasa kaming mga kailangang ipasa kanina. tila may mga hindi nagawa pero sa lunes na yun. kapata-patawad pa naman sana.

nakalibre rin ako ng lunch kanina salamat sa aking ate na nasa makati med kanina para sa check up at tinext ako na mag-lunch kami. masaya rin. sa tagal ko sa trabaho, ngayon ko lang ata nakasamang mag-lunch ang ate ko sa labas. kung tutuusin, malayo rin naman kasi ang mga opisina namin.

tila medyo busy sa opisina ngayon, hindi ko nadepositohan ang account ng tatay ko sa bpi family sa request ng nanay ko. hindi ko rin nabayaran ang mga birth certificate application namin ng best ko sa bdo. buti pwede pa sa lunes ang sa bpi at bukas ang bdo sa sm pag weekend.

isa sa mga nakakatuwang bagay na nangyari sa araw na ito ay ang imbitasyon nina maam raizel at sir tj sa kanilang kasal. ayun, pagkakataon para masuot ang coat ko. nakakaaliw. tila nagawa nga nilang unahan si sir jonas tulad ng pag-uusap nila noong isang beses na galing kaming meeting sa rodriguez.

maraming kailangang paghandaan. bukas, kailangan ko na talagang mag-ensayo para sa gig.

kailangan ko ring paghandaan ang martes. kaunting impormasyon pero malaking bagay ang naitulong sa akin ni dei kanina. hindi ko pa alam ang gagawin, pero kailangang magawa ko.

nakaka-excite ang darating na linggo. dapat makapaghanda nga nang todo ngayong weekend. mabigat na trabaho, mabigat na damdamin, at mabigat na tugtugan.

10 again

2012-01-05T16:31:00.001+08:00

i think i managed to do the 10-hour sleep again. only, i didn’t got to work today. heavy not so good feeling. ack, slow start for the year. friday tomorrow, i think we’ll have to end this first week of the year at work well. and end the work week on a friday and not on saturday or sunday.

amazingly, the old avr works. i hope it doesn’t suddenly give up. i have about 2 months to find that playful receipt for the broken avr.

i’m now using pc 69 for blogging and internet surfing. yep. under-utilized. haha. will game in a few days maybe. but i really need outdoor physical activities.

geek mode, i fixed some cables on the pc after late breakfast. i detached the 2 chassis fans from the psu and plugged them to the motherboard headers. now, all 3 chassis fans are plugged to the motherboard. i also re-routed the hd audio cable so that it goes directly to the header and not circle the space.

i’m still having fragments of the dream i had last night. i wonder if i’ll meet that girl from my dream in real life. i can’t think of anyone i know now who she could represent. maybe she is an ideal girl. now that’s difficult.

10 hours

2012-01-04T08:00:00.001+08:00

sampung oras ata ako nakatulog. at weeknight kagabi. hindi nga ako nakapag-hapunan, rosaryo, at blog. ganun ako kapagod pero parang wala namang ginawa. wala akong na-submit kahapon at hindi rin nag-jogging. hindi ko rin nasubukhang hanapin ang resibo ng x3-pc kung saan kasama ang nasirang avr.

ayos lang. ang sarap kayang matulog. medyo napagkaitan ako ng masarap na tulog.

malamang at sana naman bago mag-830 ay nasa opisina na ako. kailangang mag-level up.

6 days, 9 songs

2012-01-02T21:04:00.001+08:00

ok, i forgot what i was typing before the avr gave up. now using the old avr of testtype. recovery of the post doesn’t seem to work. oh well.

somehing about janary 14 gig and practice jam on the 8th. jam will be in 6 days and i’ve got 9 songs to study. it feels like a challenge and it’s good.

another thing about gaining momentum for the year with it not starting all that awesome.

almost easy day at work and i’m guessing it’s gonna get heavy in a day or two.

looking forward to saturday to meet up with best. i totally misunderstood our supposed meetup today. i thought it was to be for the whole day. didn’t meet up anyways and agreed to have time on saturday.

haha. this avr blew it. i’m thankful that it wasn’t the pc. that would have broken my heart. i can’t find the receipt for the avr although i think its warranty period is done. bought in in feb. or was that march? witherway, i’ll look for it later.

my hands are still shaking now. good thing, too, that the file transfers have been done already. i think i already have most of the files.

time to calm down a bit. that was quite a rush.

i don’t think i can take the bass tonight. will have to at least listen to the songs. (either it’s my elm’s or its handfree’s fastport connection that’s starting to give up, too. haha.) the playlist could also help take away the LSS, i need you now because of iris’ and napster’s duet last week. it was cute, though.

look’s like the pc’s stable now. my turn. haha.

2012 A.D.

2012-01-01T21:51:00.001+08:00

nakakaaliw talagang pakinggan yung 2012 A.D.

late nagising at hindi ganun kabuti ang pagtulog. kailangang pagbutihan sa mga natitirang araw ng taon para masabing panalo ang 2012 A.D.

ang/chua reunion kanina sa pasig. maingay. masaya. naligaw papunta at pauwi. buti hindi umabot sa antas na may iinit na ulo.

nakatulog ako nang ilang oras habang naglilipat ng files mula sa x3-pc papunta dito sa i5-pc. hanggang ngayon, naglilipat pa ako at marami pa akong ililipat sa mga darating na araw. ang mahalaga, na-install ko na lahat halos ng basic na programs at nagawan ko ng backup gamit ang acronis wd edition. medyo malas lang, kinailangan kong hiramin ang external hdd ni adette para ma-install at magamit. hindi ata nade-detect ng program ang western digital na drives ko dahil naka-raid.

bagong taon. kung tutuusin, wala naman talagang direktang kaibahan sa pagpapalit ng araw ang pagpapalit ng taon. bahagi lang kasi ng isang mas malaking cycle kaya mas nabibigyan ng kahulugan. kung anuman, isa itong magandang paraan ng pagtingin kung may nagbabago ba sa pang-araw-araw at hudyat para baghin ang mga dapat. at iyon nga ang gagawin. kaya ito.

just before 2012 A.D.

2011-12-31T21:58:00.001+08:00

the year 2011 is ending in a few hours. it’s great that after all the difficulties, i got to spend the last days of the year with closest and dearest friends.

after tuesday’s 77 gathering, i invited deo for lunch after 5 or 6 years on thursday. and yes, it was great meeting her again. spending about 3 hours after 6 years of not seeing each other? awesome.

that night, despedida dinner for iris and napster then year ender videoke. i could have been more energetic but i think it was the lingering problems at work that brought me down when we were waiting for our turn at centerstage. good thing i was high enough during the day and the party ended with quite a blast. well, pretty unceremonious parting at the taxi but i was never good at goodbyes. and i think the taxi driver enjoyed the tip.

friday was rest day. night was a different story. g69 Christmas party. projector nba 2k12 and barrel pirate game with tequila.

this afternoon, after reschedules, i got to meet with best for a few minutes. short and sweet. i got the 2 kilos of dilis and gave her her small gifts.

some file sync, twitter, facebook, and ym today, maybe check jeff’s blog later, i’ll reserve the rest of the pc maintenance thing tomorrow morning. i think i already covered much of what’s to be done on the new pc yesterday and today.

the year ends with me with my parents and the razons. we just got home from hearing Mass. maybe ate will call later. i love happy endings. well, it’s just a change of calendar year, but it still is an end of something.

i think it’s about time for that certain shade of green. no more excuses. it’s soon gonna be 2012 A.D.

pc-69/i5-pc

2011-12-28T23:36:00.001+08:00

tanghali, nabili ko na ang mga sumusunod:

coolermaster silentpro m700
asus p8p67 le
intel core i5 2500k
g-skill ripjaws 2x4gb ddr3 1333
coolermaster v8

natapos din. hindi ko maikwento ang bawat detalye. nakakapagod. nakakakaba. sa ngayon, nag-i-install na ako ng windows sa bago kong pc.

kaninang hapon naman, sa opisina, kahit sa text man lang, nakagawa ako ng lakad para bukas. hindi pa ako kinakabahan. pero malamang, bukas, panic mode na.

kanina hapon iyon sa opisina. hapon lang ako sa opisina dahil tulog ako noong umaga. mga alas-dos na ata ako nakauwi mula sa aming pagtitipon nina john, cara, rachel at sunny.

incoherent ako ngayon. sa pagod siguro at saya. kailangang huminga nang malalim. at maghugas ng kamay. medyo madumi dahil sa trabaho.

sa lunes, balik na ang pressure sa opisina. kailangang tamasahin ang mga araw na ito. sa totoo lang, nagsimula na nga uli. maswerte ako at may mga maaasahan ako sa opisina tulad nina sir jonas at tristan. kung tutuusin lahat sila.

timog in a while

2011-12-27T18:30:00.001+08:00

arrived late at work today, 6 minutes after 9, and took the afternoon off. left the office around 2pm, after subway lunch. got harry potter dvds on the way home and slept through the afternoon. got the text that my request at pc express has arrived. will have to get it tomorrow. will be off to timog/tomas morato area in a few minutes. easy times.

new pc tomorrow or on thursday. with how i felt when i was walking to rcbc tower before lunch, i think i need more physical activities this coming year. maybe arnis? maybe airsoft? quidditch?

pasok pagkatapos ng Pasko

2011-12-26T22:42:00.001+08:00

8:41 ang login ko kanina sa opisina. matagal ko na ring hindi nagawa yun.

relax mode. medyo nakakahiya nga kay tristan at sa mech cubicle kasi after 1pm, pagita-gitara kami ni iris. maya-maya, ina-access ko na ang home pc, nagdo-download at nag-i-install ng printer/scanner drivers, nagtitingin ng lumang mga retrato, at nagcha-chat.

hindi ako nag-halfday dahil di natuloy ang lakad namin nina cara at hindi na rin ako tumuloy sa pagpunta kay best. bukas na lang ang malate friends at sa friday ang best friend. baka bukas na lang. iniwan ko na rin muna si gina sa opisina kasi mukhang papasok pa rin ako sa umaga.

pagkaalis nang bago mag-6, at dahil wala namang pupuntahan, dumaan ako sa pcx at binili ang internal memory card reader. sa waltermart, dumaan akong grocery para sa ilang items. marami na ring wwjd sa pcbs at ganun na lang ang tuwa ko. sayang, sana pala bumili ako ng backup pero ayos lang din kasi para mas alagaan ko ang binili ko para sa akin. nakabili rin ako para ipanregalo.

may pizza mula kay ninang edna pagdating pero malamang bukas ng umaga ko na lang kakainin. paksiw na lechon ang ulam kanina. panalo. after-dinner snack, tinoast na doritos dahil kumunat. sinamahan ng cheez whiz para mabawi ang alat. uminom ng coke dahil masarap. next week, dapat makabalik na ako sa healthy eating. walang junk food at softdrinks.

mahirap pero fulfilling ang pagsetup ng card reader sa cm 690 ii. kaso hindi pa magagamit. sinubukan ko kung gumagana dito sa x3-pc at gumana naman nung naitama ko ang pagkabit sa usb header. sablay lang, hindi kayang ilagay sa centurion 5. oh well. mukhang pang-fdd lang talaga yung 3.5 bay nito. may card reader naman yung hp aio.

maraming mini-adventure ngayong araw na ito. pero ang pinakamalupit, sa panahon ng ka-Paskuhang ito, naramdaman ko ang mapatawad at magpatawad. ang sarap.

Pasko na sa wakas

2011-12-25T21:00:00.001+08:00

malapit na ring matapos ang araw. palagay ko, masaya naman ako ngayong Pasko. ito nga, kahit simple lang, ang pinakamasayang araw sa taong ito.

Maligayang Kaarawan Jesus.

it’s Christmas Eve

2011-12-24T22:51:00.001+08:00

got to go to confession during the start of the Christmas Mass tonight after sleeping and texting and browsing the internet through most of the day.

the senses and the soul are feeling Christmas now. it’s happy.

it�s begun

2011-12-23T23:09:00.001+08:00

half-day at work today and some more work related matters after logout. after those, Christmas weekend has started.

between logout and work related oversees txts and emails, i stopped by pcexpress again to get the psu i want, a dvd writer and a memory card reader. got a dvd writer. i should have gotten the card reader too since it supports t-flash. tsk. i should have insisted on myself that t-flash is microsd. oh well. will get it tomorrow.

yesterday, i finally got myself a radeon hd5670. it�s an msi hd5670 1gb ddr3. it�s now installed to x3-pc. tested and runs nfs hot pursuit well. about 30fps on average. not bad. not bad at all.

i got the item between 5 and 6 pm, after jonas� bday pizza, mojos, and ice cream party at work, while they were doing an epic comment thread on facebook, and before videoke night.

videoke night, well, it was ok. understatement. it was actually very fun, but i think i didn�t have enough songs and energy for that 4hour session. headache and quite a bit of heartache just before i slept and hour after midnight.

told my mom the good news about my level up when she checked if i�m already home. greater news, i woke up this morning and my sister was downstairs and told me of her level up. apir.

the other night was shangrila party night. missed high notes when it was my time to shine. the food and beer was great but hyperacidity wasn�t really friendly. had a few podium floor framing discussions with mentor before getting home.

that was a successful day after the hard work of my teammates despite me being unwell last tuesday.

we�re getting there. i�m feeling a smile on my face. and my head feels a bit better. yep, i got a haircut tonight.

wala ako sa opisina ngayon

2011-12-20T16:19:00.001+08:00

matapos ang isang weekend blast sa opisina, ako’y hindi pumasok ngayon. tinatamad at masama ang pakiramdam. ala-una na nung bumangon ako. palagay ko naman ay kumikilos nang maayos ang mga kagrupo ko sa opisina. kaya nila yun.

nasa baba ako ngayon gamit ang x3-pc sa “bago” nitong casing. salamat kay adette na naki-ride sa trip ko. di ko naorasan, mga isang oras siguro ang ginawa kong paglipat mula sa 690 ii ko nga mga parts papunta sa centurion na ito.

sana matuwa naman sina mama at papa at mapakinabangan nila ito.

may panghihinayang sa kahapon dahil bday ni lola at hindi man lang ako nakasama sa pagrorosaryo. andito pa naman ang poon ni Mama Mary para sa block rosary. di bale, ito ang linggo bago mag-Pasko at may apat na araw pa ako para maging ayos na ayos.

naisip ko lang, kahapon, ang busog nga ng bday ni lola. nakapag-agahan ako ng spaghetti, nananghalian ng lugaw, meryendang ramen, at kfc para hapunan. masaya rin malamang ang party sa taas.

mamaya, susubukan kong i-reset ang body clock ko para mas maayos na ang pang-araw-araw na buhay ko.

in a week

2011-12-18T01:42:00.001+08:00

it’s gonna be Christmas. had a fun company and division party last friday but as far as work is concerned, we’re not out of the woods yet.

had some fun with arianne and her nephew quite during and after post-party overtime. i’m touched by my teammates support. jj took home some work and tristan and cesar pledged to go to work sunday afternoon/night. sir jonas seems to be doing a good job handling these guys.

it’s gonna be a happy Christmas in a week.

2011-12-13

2011-12-13T22:31:00.001+08:00

haha. hindi ko agad napansin yun, ah. madali at mahirap ang araw na ito.

kagabi rin kung tutuusin. mukhang sulit naman. nakauwi nang maaga-aga at nakakain ng kakaibang carbonara. makatulog kaya ngayon nang maaga?

pause treasure hunt

2011-12-11T05:18:00.001+08:00

now this blogging has stopped again in being a daily thing. good and bad. good thing, it seems i’m getting less time in front of the pc. bad, i’m losing track of my everyday history, the purpose of my attempt to blog everyday.

last post was on tuesday, at 3am. i don’t remember tuesday that much. well wednesday, that’s when things got harder. i was in the office until thursday. haha. i even had the morning “off” but was logged in since i got out of the office at 5am.

since i was at home after 8am, i thought i’d do my daily treasure hunt in nfs world. and i did. so the next hunt would be until saturday morning. come friday, waking up at the office and heading home for a change of clothes, i fell asleep and rushed back to work. it wasn’t easy waiting for some drawings and keeping up with what i have to do.

i also got to the question and answer portion which went pretty well. i got a few congratulations from the cad people at work. heartwarming. fun thing, my teammates don’t seem to know. i told ailene and linette i have to treat them on tuesday for a certain distinction i got. they don’t mind. and the rest of the guys, they said they’re free on tuesday night. cool.

got restless and impatient and had to leave the office to meet with college friends. krys, nikko, george who came later, celle and ian, mark, tin, pao santos, erik v., and maki. dinner at north park g5 and beer with maki, erik, george, sheila, and nikko after. and some vomit in a corner at the pasay road-makati avenue intersection.

and i miss the nfs world treasure hunt. hunting streak over, i cut a daily routine. not so bad. it’s an online game. what’s not ok is how i’m stacking up in my rose debt. i want a rosary ring. it was a good experience praying while on the commute last thursday.

oh, thursday was a great day. started with corned beef, then getting to pray, being informed of a distinction, and some work done.

now it’s a sunday. will see if i can go by the office for a few hours. will go to Mass in the afternoon or evening depending on the circumstances of the day.

i helped papa put the Christmas lights last night. Christmas is in 2 weeks. i just remembered, that’s one of the happiest days in a year for me. getting there.

bitin sa tulog

2011-12-06T03:11:00.001+08:00

baka makakuha ako ng dalawa hanggang apat na oras ng tulog ngayon. sablay-sablay na ang routine ko. kailangang ayusin. trabaho at buhay sa bahay at sa labas ng bahay at opisina. oo nga, no? parang wala ako nung buhay sa labas ng bahay at opisina. haha. alam na ang kailangang gawin.

no dramatic scream for ol’ buddy

2011-12-01T23:02:00.001+08:00

i almost gave up on ol’ buddy, pentium d desktop, xxxg-01d. but it’s not yet time. well, a 20-minute startup isn’t so bad after it’s done. and i’ve finally had the time to fix the audio device error thing.

the x1650 pro’s gotta go, though. it’s just too noisy and not i wasn’t able to do anything about it. i remembered just now, i still have the x1300 hm it had before i upgraded it. will downgrade it tomorrow. or maybe later. let’s see.

first day of december, there’s a calm before a rushing storm as the calendar comes to a close. i think, although i was admittedly quite distracted in my head, last night’s recollection did help. and the good feeling of being a good friend even though just through text or ym.

pretty sad news today about yonni’s phone. gadgets. i’m just happy he’s one to take it better than i probably would.

gadgets. i’m quite stuck at lazy holidays and weekends. gotta do something active. soon. i’m getting old fast.

bonifacio rest

2011-11-30T11:47:00.001+08:00

bonifacio day. walang pasok. halos wala ring trabaho para sa akin para sa project sa fort bonifacio. nakakatamad. hindi ako masyadong pagod sa mga nagdaang araw pero hindi pa rin ako ganadong gumawa nang maliksi.

hindi pala ako nakapag-blog nang mahigit isang linggo. ano bang nangyari mula noon? ang naaalala ko, naka-isang mapagpahingang weekend ako. noong lunes at martes, pagod-pagod sa paghahabol sa B2 at nagpunta pa akong site. katunayan, kahapon, balak kong isuot papasok ang safety shoes ko pero pagkasuot ko, nagkalat ako ng semento at buhangin sa sahig dito sa kwarto ko.

noong martes ko rin nakuha ang bluetooth headset ko na natuklasan kong hindi pala pwedeng pang-music playback kasi walang A2DP(?) nalaman ko rin ang gamit noong spec na yun. ok lang naman dahil tila nasusulit ko ang pagtawag at pagtanggap ng tawag salamat sa sun. buti pwedeng multi-point sa dalawa kong selepono.

hassle lang din, nagkamali ako noong sinubukan kong tawagan si mama. dahil naubusan ng baterya yung handsfree, binaba ko na rin ang tawag. sa pagkakasunud-sunod ng mga pangyayari, muntik madisgrasya si mama. buti sugat sa bandang siko lang. sobrang pasasalamat ko sa Diyos na hindi siya napahamak. nakakapanghinayang lang din, halos wala akong magawa para makabawi.

pa-easy-easy lang noon miyerkules at huwebes sa opisina. umuwi pa nga yata ako nang maaga-aga noon. noong biyernes, nakalakwatsa kami nina arianne, cesar, at ailene. nakakatuwa dahil may bagong recruit sa gala at panalo ang taste ni ailene mula pizza, pasta, hanggang yogurt.

nakarami rin ako ng tulog nitong weekend. wala gaanong pressure galing kay danilo pero may utang pang trabaho. mukhang maayos naman ngayong ang pinoproblema namin mga poste pero mas maganda sana kung naagapan agad at hindi naging problema sa site.

nakakuha kami ni kuya beboy na magkita at kumain sandali noong linggo bago ako magsimba. noong lunes, naupakan nina jj ang piyaya. buti may natira pa sa akong isa.

marami-rami ring nangyari at napala sa dalawang araw na pasok at masarap magpahinga ngayon. sayang lang at may mga pinasa pa kami kaya hindi kami nahintay nina cesar at linette kaya kami na lang nina tristan at arianne ang kumain sa mang inasal. nagkape na rin kami ni arianne habang pumunta na sa tagaytay si tristan.

dahil ginabi ako, hindi ako nakatulog hanggang kaninang mga 5:00. sana makapagpahinga nga pero sana may mga magawa ring kapaki-pakinabang. home alone ako ngayon, nasa kwarto, nakaharap sa pc. baka bukas o sa biyernes, may mga bilhin akong part. psu siguro. nagugutom ako,

pancit pancit spaghetti

2011-11-19T22:40:00.001+08:00

good weekend so far. mama’s birthday was celebrated with a lot of food. it was mostly sleep and eat and need for speed today but i did some small chores today. wow. i’m quite proud of myself. haha.

happy birthday. she looked a bit tired but happy nonetheless. i wish i could have done more but i’m thankful for another year in her good life.

weekend, no work. i avoided work-related phone calls. sorry. which reminds me, i should remember to reply to danilo’s text message. wait. i’ll do it now. done.

i hope i can enjoy the rest of the weekend. or at least rest during the rest of the weekend. monday promises to be heavy. i don’t even want to check my work email now.

but work is still more than a day away. besides, i have an appoinment with my denist in the morning. oh, which means i have to send out instructions tomorrow night. oh well. but that’s still quite a day away.

this afternoon, i found out that i have php2,200 more for my pc “budget” since i accounted for the whole php3,300 cost of ms office. since the price is for 3 licenses, i should have accounted for only 1 third. this means i can get an i5-2500k but i have to get a more ordinary ram. no problem there. i’ll just overclock the cpu. yeah! and i get to get a coolermaster v8.

maybe i’ll buy a power supply and optical drive on friday. i sure hope my mother’s ok with this. she isn’t so against this as she usually is. with my money problems, i need to really play my cards right. timing and the right buys for me and for them.

i realized, incremental buys don’t hurt my wallet as much. well, not as obvious. and the decision to buy the harddrives yesterday feels right since the projection is that prices will stay up and keep going up until end of next year. i sure hope i get a good bonus from work this year.

oh, today, i got to assemble the old barbeque grill. nostalgic.

sweek

2011-11-18T23:45:00.001+08:00

sabi ni danilo noong lunes ata, “this is gonna ba a particularly shitty week.” tila nga. dalawang gabing natulog sa opisina, dalawang beses naging ungas sa mga katrabaho, isa’t kalahating araw na leave, isang late, at konting heartbreak. mukhang marami namang napala. pwede na.

kailangan ko ng social life. naka-3 day streak na ako sa nfs world treasure hunt na isang malupit na pang-level up na mas pinaganda pa. sakto, kung kailan nakakauwi na ako. nakakapagtaka lang, nawawala ang mga pulis mula kagabi.

weekend, kailangang sulitin. hindi dapat kasama sa shitty week ang weekend. sa opisina lang dapat yun.

lazy on a sunday morning

2011-11-13T21:53:00.001+08:00

i think the most action today was a riff during tinola jam.

i really need that reset.

i need a snap snap reset again

2011-11-12T23:51:00.001+08:00

wala na, nasira na ang aking daily habit ng pag-blog at pagdasal ng rosaryo. snap snap reset dapat uli.

may isang beses sa nagdaang mga araw, napalayas ako ng isang ipis dito sa kwarto ko. napatay ko na siya ngayon. isang hampas. nagtago siya sa ilalim ng squier amp ko. nag-i-internet ako sa netbook ko nang makita kong may gumagalaw sa ilalim ng drafting table ko. ngayon ko lang naisip, sana hindi nagpugad yun kung saan sa kwarto ko.

marami akong naitanim na pagkakamali sa mga araw ko. kaya madalas akong pagod. kaya madalas akong maraming kailangang gawin. ito nga, kailangan ng reset. paano ba kakakapag-reset ngayon?

strike 2

2011-11-06T23:35:00.001+08:00

this is the second long weekend in two weeks and i missed the chance to go out with my best. well, it can’t be helped. i’m not looking at a strike 3 because next week doesn’t have a long weekend. haha.

yesterday, i bought kevin’s strike noir and strike+iwsp. he needed some cash. the two looked good side-by-side although i have them now standing in for shenlong and heavy arms with other stand-ins. i wonder when i can get the time to build.

i also wonder when i can get the time and inspiration to write again. write songs. even just writing blogposts, i passed on for a few days.

no holiday for me tomorrow. well, today was almost a lost sunday. i find myself blessed because i have upto 4 churches where i can hear Mass at any time of the day. i need to get some spiritual duties done. it’s one thing to miss out on things like blog posts and creative outputs, but it’s a more serious matter missing out on things that are needed by the soul—mine and others’.

another challenging day tomorrow. gotta get good at it.

beef lunch

2011-11-01T22:02:00.001+08:00

todos los santos ngayon. matagal bago nagsimula ang araw ko. malamang dahil sa pagod. tanghali na kami nagpunta ng tatay ko sa loyola memorial park. kaming dalawa lang. kasama nina buds si ate, may pasok si yonni kaya kahapon sila pumuntang tatlo nina adette at judith.

mabigat ang lunch ko kanina, beef chow fan at beef wanton. nakapagdeposito na rin ako sa bpi express deposit at bumili ng mga cd sa park square. hindi ako nakabili ng external harddrive dahil wala ang hinahanap kong seagate goflex 1tb. at tila wala ring may esata connector.

nakapagsimba ako nang 6:30 at masarap ang uwing pancit at balut nina mama, tita chato, at tito nonong.

patapos na ang long weekend. tila nakapahinga naman. bukas, kakain kaya ako ng veggie meat?

pain on my shoulders

2011-10-31T12:19:00.001+08:00

that was one rough saturday. not the best. could have been much much better. but i had the bits of fun i wanted and didn’t expect.

gig last saturday was lame for our part. went great for the rest. got a good jam with tinola earlier after the cut-short jam at the balcony which proved to be gig-fatal. ah, yes. i see a redemption gig to be very crucial.

i’m having the long weekend. yey! at last. rest. although my shoulders still hurt from carrying my bass, netbook, bass effects, and work stuff around last saturday.

i’m back at the writing table. well, typing table. haha.

italian wine and cake

2011-10-28T23:19:00.001+08:00

at nakalimutan ko na ang tawag sa merienda namin kanina, pa-bday ni danilo sa site.

nakakapagod ang linggong ito. may ilang malaking problema, mukhang nalunasan naman. hindi ko lang nabigyan ng oras ang maraming bagay. bukas, sabado, isang huling hirit bago magpasarap uli.

kapagod. kailangan kong magpraktis ngayon para sa gig bukas. parang kotr lang. walang ensayo. haha. pagalingan.

step 1

2011-10-22T22:14:00.001+08:00

slept and ate today. worried a bit about work. well, it happens. not much preparations. not little, actually. haha. well, barney did 42km. tomorrow morning, i run. i have to go hear Mass after then get on with the band practice. and it’s gonna be one awesome weekend.

fried isaw night

2011-10-21T22:15:00.001+08:00

sa wakas, nakakuha ako ng bakasyon. ang hindi lang ganoon kaganda, sana ang iba ko ring kasama, natatamasa nila.

hindi mabuti ang simula ng nagdaang dalawang araw. napakalaking pasasalamat ko sa Diyos, lumalabas, ok naman at hindi lang basta ok. trabaho, trabaho, trabaho. mukhang nasa tamang daan na kami para gumaan na ang buhay at trabaho.

mula lunes pala ako hindi nakapag-blog. ang naaalala ko, sasablay-sablay ako noong lunes at nagpaumaga na hanggang martes. miyerkules, ako yata ang huling umuwi. kahapon, nasa site coordination meeting buong araw, 7am hanggang 8pm. dumaan akong opisina at may nadatnang tirang handa. nakakabusog.

patext-text kay best, patext-text sa banda para sa praktis, pa-facebook-facebook pag-uwi, pa-email-email. oo nga pala, kailangan kong magreply ngayon sa email. pakonti-konting enjoy. pasingit-singit.

masarap na ngayong biyernes, nakatanggap ako ng papuri mula sa boss ko. masabihan kang proud siya dahil bilib ang kiliyente sayo. bukod pa sa kahapon, pagpapakilala sa akin ni danilo ay isa sa pinakamahusay na nakilala niya. sana mapalabas ko rin ang husay ng mga kasama ko na para sa akin, sobrang karapat-dapat ng papuri.

nakahingi ako ng weekend pero magpapagod rin ako. ibang klaseng pagod. pagod sa pag-e-enjoy na hindi ko nagagawa sa trabaho. sana kayanin ng katawan ko.

salamat talaga sa Diyos sa lahat ng biyaya. isa sa pinakapanalo, may mga magulang akong sinusuportahan ako kahit hindi halata.

nakakahapo

2011-10-16T21:41:00.001+08:00

it was already sunday, i think, when i went down to get some more left over pizza. 3 slices. turns out, i ate mama’s share. i have to get her pizza one of these days.

i woke up from an epic dream. not so much of an adventure, really. more like epic emotions. and a lot of running up and down stairs. and it felt like a prologue to an adventure.

if the adventure was the real world i woke up to, it wasn’t really much. another one of those bad sundays. lazy. tired. none of the work i intended to is done so far. i got to go to Mass at 6:30, again. but it gave a good feeling as always. and a challenge.

i hope i have the energy to do what i have to do. monday has got to go well.

i hope there would be reviews on the fx-8120 soon. i’m wanting to buy it so much and i need reviews to backup my presumption that for a little less than the i5 2500, it’s a good buy. well, reviews and availability.

availability’s an issue with stuff i want. and recommend. it’s great, although i wish i could have been there, that cara’s finally bought a new cpu, mobo, and ram. and a cool case. as recommended, she got herself an athlon ii x4 640 and a 880g-based ecs mobo. combined with her radeon hd 5770, that machine is gonna rock. and 8gb ram. cool.

purchases. the xperia pro’s not yet available too. i hope i successfully pass on that. and not need it. jenny’s working now. i swithed the network to gsm only in the early afternoon. i hope it was just a screwup with smart’s network. i wasn’t able to send and receive text. the line was actually out even though the signal was up. i can’t even contact the phone via phonecall. and it’s getting slow. i really need to do the monthly backup thing.

above that, though, i need to do good. do good in stuff and do good things.

lamezy

2011-10-15T23:30:00.001+08:00

ang sablay sa araw na ito ay hindi na naman mabuti ang gising ko at pumasok ako na halos walang napala sa tinagal ko sa opisina.

masaya naman dahil nakakain ako ng spaghetti. sa kabila ng nakakabagot at medyo nakakadismayang trabaho, nagtawanan kami nina cesar at arianne nung naghapunan kami.

hindi man kami nakagala ng best ko, medyo may buhay naman ang aming pagtetext. nakakatuwa na mas nagiging positive na siya. pangarap ko talagang maging masaya siyang tunay.

bukas, tila hindi ako makakatakbo. game. 16.8 km next week. laban! sabay sched pa ng praktis para sa OS X gig. sige lang.

getting good at goodbyes

2011-10-14T22:35:00.001+08:00

many things in the office today. i woke up there for one. and it was arianne�s birthday, liza�s last day, and supposedly the submission for the ground floor ifc drawings. mixed emotions i�m not really good at thinking of and writing about.

spent the night there again. almost got there late yesterday and got there late by a minute today. to think i woke up there. well, i went home to sleep on my bed and do my morning stuff better. i feel kinda guilty that i can do this while my companions spend the straight hours until midday or even until the end of office hours. well, i hope they don�t take it badly.

i think the constant overnights at work are wearing me down but i really felt good with the improvements i�m seeing in the drawings mostly with ate karen�s help. it was also a wonderful feeling that i finally quite finished to a more precise and workable level the column tables i�ve wanted to do since may or june.

next up, safe. as much as i want things to go smoothly and precisely, there�s also that longing for glory. ah yes.

it�s already mid-october weekend. here�s the plan: this weekend, get a good chunk of work done on office projects. this coming week, get a good amount of cramming training. next weekend, show `em how to run. the week after that, get one or two awesome jam sessions with konata fans club. on the last weekend of august, get back on the stage.

there�s a diorama at gundamguy website. i thought of doing overtime on the holiday on the 31st to fix files at work. i hope there won�t be deadly deadlines then so i might dedicate that day instead to building mg deathscythe ew. that would be 2 years and 11 months after building hg deathscythe h custom. ah, time.

kahel at maliwanag

2011-10-12T23:39:00.001+08:00

mabagal at hindi kabutihan ang umaga ko pagkagising. sayang, masarap pa naman ang tulog ko at hanggang sa gumising. medyo sumama lang talaga. pinasya kong hindi na muna pumasok noong umaga. marami-raming nangyari.

nagtext si hazel kung pwede kaming tumugtog sa x japan gig dahil may nag-backout. txt brigade taps ayun, game, nag-confirm kami. nakapag-agahan ako ng dalawang pandesal at tuna at pumasok bago mag-lunch break.

sinimulan kong problemahin ang mga dapat problemahin sa g/f hanggang 8/f. nagkainitan dahil hindi ko pwedeng iwanan yung ginagawa ko para sumama sa meeting. boss dan and jonas to the rescue. hindi rin ganoon karami ang napala ko. medyo distracted at nanghihina at dismayado sa konting napala namin sa nagdaang linggo. ayos lang, nakarami naman kasi ng pahinga.

nabaling din ang atensyon ko sa mga review ng amd fx. maraming hindi ok na review sa fx-8150. may isa o dalawang nagsabing mukhang ok ang fx-8120 para sa presyo niya. medyo sakto, yun ang balak kong bilhin. sana meron dito nung 95w na fx-8120.

matagal bago dumating si danilo sa opisina kaya mga 9 na ako nakaalis pagkatapos ng konting usap at pagpaplano. binigyan niya ako ng libro na iwan ko (sana naiwan ko lang at hindi nawala) sa mesa ko. mga kwento. ayos, mukhang mapapabasa na naman ako. baka makapagsulat uli.

nagtaxi ako papunta sa nbc tent para sa race kit. orange and singlet ko at halos wala nang freebies. oh well. last day at halos closing time na. hehe. nakakasindak ang race map lalo na kung ganun kalaki ang drawing.

naglakad ako sa ulan papuntang mcdo para kumain. tumawag ako sa nanay ko para sabihing doon na ako kakain kasi gutom na ako. madali akong nakakuha ng taxi pauwi at nakapagrosaryo naman pagdating.

maraming nangyari ah. nasa conference kami ngayon ni dogi. wala pa si thad. mamayang kaunti, may rereplyan akong email. ang bait ng Diyos. hindi kasing-bigat ng inasahan ko ang araw na ito. maliwanag nga kahit maulan.

unrun

2011-10-11T22:03:00.001+08:00

it’s been 2 months and a half since i last ran and that was during the milo marathon. doing some makeshift scientific approach to how i’ll cram my training, i think i’ll be ok with 3 training sessions given i’ll do them with the same intensity as i did before.

tomorrow’s midweek and i’m getting worried about my progress for friday’s deadline. i think it’s also a wrong move to not let anyone else worry. i can’t be stock at being worried, though. mark tomorrow as a big day.

spent time doing email again earlier tonight after dinner. i did it using mama’s acer and on gmail’s user interface. not feeling it. ok, i’m a client application kind of person. cloud services are great but client software much better than web apps. just my opinion and preference.

i’m excited for tomorrow’s amd fx release. and i also have to finally get my adidas race kit. and finish a lot of things for friday’s deadline. i’ve been walking a bit to much with these past few days. i need to run.

lunes at mga poste

2011-10-10T21:29:00.001+08:00

halos yung column tables ang inasikaso ko buong araw sa trabaho ngayon. na walang overtime. may sobra, pero hindi umabot sa overtime. oh yeah. madilim na nga lang nung umuwi ako kasi muntik na akong ma-late at malapit nang mag-disyembre, maaga na ang kagat ng dilim.

ang sayang gumamit ng macro at magplano kung paano ang paggawa sa cad. bukas, dapat todo trabaho at dapat malaki ang progress. siguro, sana, makakapag-training na rin ako pagkatapos ng trabaho. o mukhang kailangang unahin ang pag-claim ng singlet atbp.

nagawa ko, unang araw ng panatang magdasal ng rosaryo araw araw at yung prayer of commitment para sa one million rosaries a day for 200 days. dapat, parang ang mga ginagawa ko sa excel at ang inaasahan ko sa mga cad operator namin, dapat gawin ang lahat para maging maayos ang buhay at malinis ang kaluluwa. sablay din kasi ako madalas, e. dapat, dapat galingan ko lalo sa aspeto na to ng buhay ko.

showers before the storm

2011-10-09T21:55:00.001+08:00

it rained quite heavy for a few minutes and intermitently during the day. lazy day, i got to zuma and plants vs zombies on my netbook and desktop under my steam account. i bout the two on december 31 and january 1. i intended to give them as gifts but i figured a steam account would be quite a bit for my father to handle without asking me a number of times and my best wouldn’t care much about paid casual pc games.

only time outside was for sunday Mass. i wore my new green shirt and black polo. the Gospel was about wearing the proper attire. ah, i gotta get the proper attire for my soul.

today i also came across some i’m a mac commercials and spoofs. and a monologue (i think it was a podcast) by the late steve jobs for which the one who posted it seemed to be against it. i’m quite against the poster’s opinion. with all these, i’m pretty much reaffirmed on my view of apple—in control. there’s a certain irony to steve job’s “think different” or maybe being in control is different.

eitherway, i’m still a pc person, but i’m tending for the controlled system in choosing an amd platform. ack. amd fx on wednesday. the anxiety of waiting. and as for cellphones, i’m still partial about going android. with venjo on blackberry, goey on android, and domeng on ios, i’m left with symbian or windows phone. nah. i’ll stick with my feature phone for a bit longer.

it’s fun to blog about these stuff (and get hooked to a casual game and some 3d racing) and not be stressed on office work.

meteor shower fail

2011-10-08T20:50:00.001+08:00

gumising ako at maulan. hindi ako nakalabas ng bahay buong araw. chill na lang. maulan sa labas. at ayun, bam, tinamad. hindi ko na rin pinilit si best maglakwastsa para bonding sila si sean.

anong nagawa ko ngayon? naglipat, nagbura, at nag-backup ng mga files sa dalawang desktop. naglaro rin ng nfs world. nakakaaliw ang nadiskubre ko kagabing bangko sa nfs world—treasure hunt. pwede na rin. mas hindi frustrating kumpara sa mga multiplayer race na masyadong outclassed ang sasakyan ko. pero medyo matagal pa talaga bago ako makabili ng tier 2 na kotse. hindi na siguro porsche cayman s ang bibilhin ko pag pwede na. toyota supra na lang. mas sulit.

geek mode. haha. sa 12 inaasahang lumabas ang mga amd fx na cpu na matagal ko nang inaantabayanan at balak bilhin. sa 27, ilalabas ang mg sandrock na siyang hudyat ko para bilhin ang mg shenlong. sakto pa pareho sa sweldo. ewan lang natin kung may sapat na pera pambili.

yung cpu, kahit papaano, kung may pambili ako at mabili ko, ok na. tapos na ang problema. mas problema yung gundam na mas may pambili ako. mabibili ko naman malamang yung shenlong, pero pag binili ko na ang sandrock na naka-schedule bilhin pag in-announce ang heavy arms, matatambakan ako ng mga hindi pa gawang gundam. hmm… yung 360 modena kaya, kailan ko matatapos? at yung supra na bigay ni yonni, gusto ko nang buksan at simulan.

easy friday again at last

2011-10-07T22:25:00.001+08:00

first friday of the month, i almost got late for work so i got to go home past 6. had quite a bit to do but it wasn’t a very busy day. it feels like a mellow interlude in a heavy song. well, a not so good song. haha.

i got to replace the pairs of pants i bought yesterday. good thing i hurried home. spaghetti. oh yeah.

dogi, venjo, and yaluts yesterday confirmed game at another attempt at a band reboot. i hope linette sends me a copy of her songs this weekend. i also hope to get my works done. next week, if all goes well, without overtime and stuff, i need that band practice. i need my music back.

and my stamina. i’ve been noticing i’ve been getting easily tired even just running up the stairs. 2 weeks to cram training. hahaha. call! i brought home my running shoes that i left at work (to no use) for some weeks. let’s see what will happen this weekend and these two weeks before adidas king of the road. i just remembered, i run to get somewhere.

mga trabaho

2011-10-06T22:32:00.001+08:00

medyo nanghihina ako ngayong nagdaang araw. medyo panalo pa naman kagabi: wabi-sabi kasama nina iris at napnap tapos dinner pag-uwi kasama ang buong pamilya.

bago pumasok, nabalitaan ko sa radyo (oo, sa radyo, hindi sa internet) ang pagpanaw ni steve jobs. at oo, nakikidalamhati ako. siya ang nagpa-cool sa mga geek. good job.

parang ang dami kong ginawa at hindi nagawa sa trabaho ngayon. tila marami talagang kailangang gawin. haha. pero masarap din ang pakiramdam, nakakauwi nang maaga-aga. at walang nagbabadyang overtime sa sabado. sana makalabas kami ni best. kailangang mag-enjoy kami ngayong darating na weekend.

nakadaan ako kanina sa waltermart at marami-raming nabili. nakabili na rin ako sa wakas ng mga dvd-r. sampu. nakabili rin ako ng dalawang size 31 na c9 na slacks (itim at dark gray) na papapapalitan (wokey, napaisip ako kung tama yung salita) ko rin bukas ng size 30. nakabili na rin ako ng isa pang sports shirt, green t-shirt, at black polo. grand total: PHP2,049. oh yeah. starbucks. sana pwede ngang palitan yung mga pantalon. medyo masagwa yung luwag, e. medyo lang. at hindi ko kasi masusuot nang walang sinturon.

faraday na bukas. sana dalhin ni linette ang mga sinulat niyang kanta at sana maisipan at magawan ko agad ng tugtog. at syempre, sana magkaroon ng oras para makapag-jamming kami at makapag-gig. kailangan kong tumugtog uli sa stage.

lumabas ka sa silong

2011-10-04T12:14:00.001+08:00

medyo matindi pala ang huling pagsugod. pero sa totoo lang, meron pang mga susunod. sige lang! laban lang. pero pahinga muna. masarap makalabas ng lupa. konti pa, iiwan na talaga namin ang ilalim ng lupa, ang mga silong at rampa.

pero pahinga muna. at ayoko nang magpaumaga hanggang maliwanag na maliwanag na sa labas. at abutan ng mga tao na hindi pa ako naliligo.

pero maganda ang umaga ko. masaya ring makalabas, kahit ministop lang ang pinuntahan.

got mail?

2011-10-02T21:55:00.001+08:00

i think i�m having writer�s block. i also think not since i never achieved the writer status.

tough week last week. tough deadlines but i think we somehow got the message that we�re hard at work on the project. quality-wise, well, we�ll have to improve.

had another one of those half weekends and i�m sleepy now. netbook-desktop sync done. desktop backup and clear harddisk space done. i also did the supposed monthly backup of the acer laptop yesterday at work where i left it and will be lending it for a week. the downloaded aspire wallpapers look great.

this coming week, i�m looking forward to feel a certain amount of fulfillment again. ooh, and maybe an addtion to my routine. you�ve got mail?

cad

2011-09-29T05:18:00.001+08:00

i think i got a little hot-headed for a number of instances yesterday at work. and i didn’t have lunch. good thing i got skyflakes and cheez whiz. but still, i really need to get my meals. and my cool head.

just got home. ack. i’m hungry.

the flash

2011-09-27T19:45:00.001+08:00

mahangin. maulan. bumabagyo. gumising ako at maraming nagtanong sa akin kung may pasok at kung papasok ako.

pumasok ako. na-intimidate ako ng hangin at nagbabadyang pagbuhos uli ng ulan kaya nag-jeep ako. kung hindi ako nag-jeep, medyo ok na training na rin sana yun. pero bumuhos nang malakas at buti nga nag-jeep ako.

pagdating sa opisina, wala nang pasok. naka-generator na lang pala. bago mag-ika-10 ng umaga, wala nang kuryente. nasira ata yung alternator. ewan. bago mamatay ang kuryente, nabigay ko kay ailene ang panlaban sa zombies at may bago silang dekorasyon sa cubicle nila ni linette.

napilitang umuwi kaming mga pumasok. inubos ko muna ang kinakain kong tinapay at iniinom na milo. nagbaon kasi ako ng tig-two na tuna hotdog sa two na hotdog bun. hindi kami makagimik kasi mga east metro people sila at taga-south si ailene.

paglalakad papuntang pasong tamo, nakayuko ako. may tumbang sign na nakalagay, slow down. may langis din sa daan. hindi ko maisipan ng kanta. maganda pero sobrang kulang pa yung eksensa.

nag-jeep uli ako at hinangin ang cap ko pagbaba. nakuha ko pa naman sa tapat ng yulo plaza dahil walang sasakyangsasagasa.

home sweet home, walang kuryente. nakaidlip at nakapananghalian kami. malakas pa rin ang hangin at ulan. pagkakain, nagpaload ako ng alltext 20 sa sexy store pero alltext 10 ang dinig, naload, at binayaran ko. ok lang.

tambay sa terrace at sa kwarto dahil mahina ang signal. nagka-kuryente na pero wala pa ring telepono at internet. resulta: tulog. pagkagising ko, binuksan ko ang modem at facebook at twitter agad sa selepono ko.

pahinga. sa kabila ng pinsala sa labas, maswerte ang ilan na ang mga araw na ito ay panahon para makapagpahinga.

sakto, bago matapos ang pagta-type ko nito, kakain na raw kami.

269 2011

2011-09-26T23:48:00.001+08:00

day 269 this year was a rather workful work day. not bad. yeah, i didn’t get to give the anti-zombie item but well, all isn’t over.

stayed at the office second to last to sir danilo. they say the captain sinks with his ship. i say no sinking ships here.

i’m pretty stuffed right now after a heavy meal thanks to my loving mother and even more left over carbonara from my sister. too bad my father’s already asleep when i got home. will greet him in the morning. hope they’re proud to have a hardworking son. actually, i hope they do have one worth of being proud of.

tuna hotdog

2011-09-25T22:34:00.001+08:00

nakapagpagupit na ako sa wakas.

medyo nahuli sa usapan pero ayos lang. matapos ang halos isang taon, at maraming naipong ketchup, natupad din ang best friend date.

starbucks at maraming lakad sa sm manila; bili ng halaman laban sa zombie habang naghahanap ng beanbag at polo; simba sa Espiritu Santo, tayuman; bili ng tuna hotdog at sliced cheese habang naghahanap ng polo; kenny roger’s, uwi. panalo. ka-miss.

nabigay ko na rin ang mga regalong matagal natago. pag-uwi, hindi pala tumagal ng isang minuto ang laruan. tinapon at tinawanan. panalo. ang sarap, napatawa ko si sean.

pag-uwi, naghapunan ako kasama ng aking mga magulang. hindi ko naabutan ang kapatid ko sa bahay pero nasarapan ako sa dala niyang carbonara.

lunes, laban na uli. dapat sapat na ang pahinga at pagpapalakas.

paturo kay naruto

2011-09-24T22:10:00.001+08:00

medyo nag-backfire ang pagnood ko ng 300 para sa motivation dahil late ako nakatulog. napanood din kasi ako ng 1st 2 ep. ng bagong season ng the big bang theory. ayos. may mga aantabayanan na naman ako. pero hindi anime ngayon. big bang at himym.

ok, hindi matindi ang pagsugod na gagawin namin. o mas may panahon lang para makatapos. may oras pa para magpahinga. at magplano.

mas may feel na ako ng suporta ni sir manny. mukhang makabuluhan naman ang meeting namin nina sir manny, danilo at david sze kasama sina jonas, arianne at daryl. sa lunes, balik sa trabaho at kailangang tumungo sa tagumpay.

bukas, dapat gumising nang maaga. may mga balak gawin kasama ang tila masaya namang best.

ngayon, +1 party sana namin nina dogi, venjo, atbp. pero wala akong +1 at ako lang ang nagreply kaya postponed to next week. good luck. hindi rin ako natuloy sa shock and awe. pagod. hindi rin ako makakalakwatsa nang maayos. pag gumanda na talaga nang todo ang takbo ng trabaho, at sana ngayon papasok na linggo mangyari yun, maglalakwatsa ako nang todo. pero syempre, sa katanggap-tanggap na antas ayon sa aking pitaka.

three hundred

2011-09-23T22:09:00.001+08:00

had an ok friday. i missed the sun when i got out of the office at 6, but come to think of it, i did go out and feel the sunlight at around 4.

quite a day, i was “forced” to have breakfast and it felt good to choose breakfast over not being late. late for 2 days straight, well, i’ve been going home very late for more than two days. more two months?

teddy, on our side, resigned and it pretty much frustrated sir jonas but hey, it can’t be helped. the impending further loss in manpower makes me feel troubled a bit, but i really have to be the guy who says things will turn out alright and make it happen. erick also finally filed his resignation. that was a pretty light-hearted story. no sad goodbyes.

work wasn’t so productive but kinda fun. lunch out at chilli pepper’s with ailene, jj, arianne, daryl, nap-nap, and cesar was, well, fun. haha. a change in setting with the guys. linette wasn’t able to join us and i kinda had the idea of buying her cake for her birthday. later, around breaktime (after breaktime, actually), daryl and i went out to buy her cake and everyone enjoyed. well, tristan wasn’t sent back from the meeting so he wasn’t able to enjoy the cake. i really owe him a lot to go in my stead.

heartwarming thing too is receiving a phonecall from my best friend that afternoon while i was going back from buying cake and before we started eating cake. i really love my best friend and hearing her happy.

before 6, we had a talk about what our problems with the project are and what we are to do about it and the meeting we’ll be having tomorrow. we really need to have fun tonight because tomorrow’s gonna be difficult and we can see it. it scares me a bit, really, but keep the faith.

got out of work at past 6pm and finally ended nyan nyan nyan… which was practically playing the whole work day. walked to greenbelt/landmark/glorietta and parted with daryl and arianne and irvin when i went to park square. objective: express deposit. status: complete. secondary objective: buy cd. status: bought wasting light by foo fighters. ah, yes, the feeling of purchasing a record.

got home and had dinner. alas, i had 3 rice meals today. i was also able to pray the rosary with my parents. exchanged some texts with my sister and greated her husband a happy birthday on twitter. quite a day.

calm before the storm? i don’t know. beyond the sound of the airconditioner, i hear now, it has started to rain. Thank you God, we have this roof over us. ah, yes, roofs. tomorrow, we plan, then we rise, from the basements, to the upper storeys, to the roofs.

slab edge

2011-09-22T23:18:00.001+08:00

nakakapagod pero hindi stressed masyado sa trabaho kanina. nakauwi ako bago mag-cinderella at nakakwentuhan pa si mama pagdating.

faraday na bukas. sana masikatan ako ng araw pag pauwi na ako.

after 3 out

2011-09-21T04:44:00.001+08:00

ah, yes, at home, awake after maybe 7 or 8 hours of sleep. that was a pretty good overnight overtime last night since we sent out 3 sets of drawings even though 2 were just advance copies.

i woke up at 3:30am today when i was trying to get some sleep byt that time yesterday. oh yeah. hope today will be a good day. wow, it’s wednesday already. i woke up happy last monday and i believe that helped a lot.

we’re not out of the woods yet. today, we have to out the “magic” table and i’m the one to do it. and tomorrow, final touches on a more than a year-long problem project. i can’t wait for the coming hopefully less stressful months.

light guard

2011-09-18T22:40:00.001+08:00

ang sakit ng ulo ko kaninang hapon pagkagising ko. ang hassle pag sumasakit ang ulo ko, umiinit din. buti nabawasan at lumamig na rin.

panalo ang l4d2 party kagabi/kaninang madaling-araw kahit late ako. masayang maging masaya.

siguro isang factor sa pagsakit ng ulo ko ang mali kong sleeping habit na bukod pa sa hindi angkop ang oras. kailangang itama ang paggamit ng pc at internet.

getting out of the hole

2011-09-17T10:32:00.001+08:00

it was a really good metaphor. i wish i had a lot more perseverance from getting out of bed to getting work done. i guess i’ll be back at getting out of he hole in a while.

tokyo tokyo overtime dinner out

2011-09-17T00:42:00.001+08:00

i didn�t anticipate that i�d be going at the office until after 10pm on a friday and have dinner with jj, arianne, and liza after and go home after midnight. well, sir danilo is right in saying we really need to get out of the hole. it�s really a pleasure to have a supportive client, and as things are, supervisor.

too bad i missed dinner at home tonight. gotta have breakfast here at home tomorrow morning before i go to work. overtime.

then l4d2 party after. and maybe i�ll install windows 8 dev preview some other time. haha. geek mode, i downloaded the 64- and 32-bit versions via torrent last thursday night until friday night. download lasted less than a day. further geek mode, i checked the download progress while i was at work.

ah yes, it was relaxing, sleeping last night with rediscovered mp3�s�instrumentals and classical music ripped from readers� digest cd�s�also to have the pc do something else while downloading. although it could have saved some watts if i left the pc to just download, i think listening to classical music while sleeping has its benefits. yeah, i�ll think just that.

stress and deflection

2011-09-15T22:27:00.001+08:00

ang dami ng kailangang gawin sa opisina. ang dami. ang dami. haha. nakakalula pero kahit papaano, dahil napapaligiran ako ng mga maaasahan at umaasa sa akin, kahit sumasablay kami sa mga deadline at sa diskarte, hindi nakakawala ng pag-asa.

kauuwi ko lang, katatapos mag-hapunan. masarap ang macaroni na hinanda ni mama kahit bitin ang sauce. sa kawali na ako kumain habang nakipagkwentuhan kay mama. nagpasundo na naman ako sa kanila ni papa para mapilitan akong umuwi.

sa email, nagtawag si venjo ng l4d2 and september bidets party sa sabado. dapat dapat makadalo.

internet sharing

2011-09-14T22:32:00.001+08:00

nakikigamit ako ngayon ng internet kina adette. ewan kung wala talaga kaming internet o may sabit lang sa mga kable sa baba. kung anuman, bukas na lang asikasuhin. swerte, salamat kina adette, nakapag-email, twitter, konting facebook, at blog ako ngayon. internet dependence. tsk tsk.

maraming hindi mabuting nangyari ngayong araw na ito. ewan ba. at ang mahirap doon, pagod ako para tapusin ang marami pang kailangang tapusin. sana makapagpahinga nang sapat para makalaban nang maganda pagkagising. hindi na dapat maulit ang nangyaring pangit simula pa lang ng umaga at hindi rin mabuting hapon. tama, dapat laging asamin ang tama.

in a vacuum, you can’t breath

2011-09-13T22:22:00.001+08:00

work, vacuum, vacuum cleaner—very related words.

and this post seems to be short enough to be on twitter. i’m tired.

baka inaantok lang ako

2011-09-12T22:06:00.001+08:00

hindi ko talaga alam paano sisimulan ang post na ito. at hindi ko rin maisip paano ituloy. patigil-tigil ako at tina-type ang naiisip ko.

baka lonely monday lang talaga. mahirap mag-isip. aha! baka inaantok lang ako.

sleepy cat�s still sleeping

2011-09-11T22:52:00.001+08:00

there really is a downside to sleeping all morning�the rest of the day gets rushed. the afternoon and evening was ok today, though.

lunch was great and i had enough time to prepare and not be late for Sunday Mass at greenbelt. come 530pm, i�ve also slept (again) enough to be ready for 6pm tinola jam. i also got a preview of mahasa�s new song. later we did some progress on a new song. too bad juni wasn�t around but kc handled the drums well. and it feels good that i can contribute to the band and the creative process. they are really talented.

papa arrived to fetch me just a few moments after we left the studio. we then passed by dogi�s to pick up part 1 of ninong raul�s pasalubong. dinner and rosary upon arriving. got a weird text from best while we were praying, though, asking me where i am. weird. she hasn�t texted again, though. i guess she�s already sleeping. sure hope she�s fine and well.

an hour before the weekend ends. the best thing about tomorrow, cash card will get reloaded. a little less anxiety because of lack of cash. wow. come to think of it, it was pretty rough this past week because of that. glad i got through it without feeling down. good job.

overtulog

2011-09-10T21:31:00.001+08:00

i don’t know but i think my use of the word is close to being excessive. not to mention that i really am having much sleep. or maybe it just seems inappropriately a lot because the timing is off.

with that, saturday happened quite fast. yeah, i woke up to an overseas phonecall from sir danilo. it partly downed me how “noob” we are at design.

the time i spend in front of the computers, i don’t think they’re spent very well. not even for entertainment. time for another attempt at change.

friday and no office tomorrow

2011-09-09T21:46:00.001+08:00

sa wakas, isang biyernes na pagtatapos nga ng trabaho sa opisina. walang pasok bukas! wala talaga. nakapagpasa sina arianne, daryl, at jj kanina ng mga drawing. sa lunes, si cesar naman ang bibida.

pero tsaka na. sa lunes na. sa ngayon, ang tumatakbo lang sa isip ko, walang pasok bukas. magpapagupit siguro ako ng buhok bukas. at aatupagin ang mga bagay-bagay na hindi naaatupag dahil pagod o nagpapagod sa opisina.

blue day. the good kind of blue.

2011-09-08T23:22:00.001+08:00

kaya pala maraming naka-blue, birthday nga pala ni Mama Mary. sa totoo lang, hindi mabuti ang simula ng araw ko. pagpatak pa lang ng alas-dos� ng hatinggabi, alam kong hindi na ok kasi hindi ako makatulog. malamang dahil sa kape. tapos late ako nagising at tanghali na nakapasok. at hindi ko pa nagamit ang oras na gising para sa kapaki-pakinabang na mga bagay. STAAD�

spoiled ata talaga ako kay Mama Mary. at actually, sa nanay ko rin. kanina, habang nagsisimba, naisip ko kung gaano ko nakikita sa nanay ko ang mahal na ina. kahit sasablay-sablay ako, tulad ngayong araw na wala atang mabuting napala sa opisina, �kinukunsinti� pa rin at binibigyan ng pag-asa. pareho sila.

salamat po. Happy Birthday Mama Mary.

just/already wednesday

2011-09-07T05:36:00.001+08:00

i spent monday night in the office and fell asleep again on the sofa last night, tuesday. wow. i�m missing my room. but i really think i should do something about my room. there is restfulness but also laziness here. it isn�t good.

it�s midweek already. actually, it�s just midweek. well, both. ah, yes, it is, afterall, mid. it�s gonna be a bit peaceful at work later. hopefully. and less stressful. projection is smooth working and therefore, happy living in a week.

maybe i�ll go running tonight. but i have to go running tomorrow night.

sleepy kitty

2011-09-05T05:46:00.001+08:00

woke up in the sofa today. 24-hour break from office work is almost done.

i guess i did have that happy sunday except for a not so good sleep on my bed in the afternoon. all the rest—hearing Mass at greenbelt chapel, tinola jam, dinner—was fun.

i think i need to have a cooler head, though. especially with my parents. yep. keep cool. cool as a cat. cool as sleepy cat at ROAA music studio.

5-day work week

2011-09-02T21:11:00.001+08:00

tutal, pumasok ako nung lunes at medyo nasulit ko ang holiday nung martes, ayos lang naman sigurong pumasok bukas para 5-day work week. maganda ang takbo ng trabaho sa opisina para sa shangrila nitong nagdaang linggo salamat sa tulong ni danilo. para sa rodriguez, ewan. haha.

natapos ang agosto, hindi ko nagawa ang balak kong makatapos ng kanta. ngayong setyembre, isasama ko yun sa goal na matapos ang intake structure at makaluwag sa shangri-la. hmm… may kinalaman pala sa trabaho yun. di bale. kung magagawa naman yun, ibig-sabihin, mas maraming magagawa sa labas ng trabaho. ah, alam ko na. dapat, bukod sa bagong mga kanta na dapat nung nakaraang buwan, dapat matapos ko ang isa man lang sa dalawang nakatokang gundam. at yung nakatokang super happy birthday.

fast forward, sa susunod na buwan, 16.8km sa adidas kotr. at oo nga pala, dapat makabalik na ako sa training sa martes. mahigit isang buwan ang “pahinga” ko.

don’t cut your crosses

2011-08-28T19:18:00.001+08:00

you shouldn’t run away from your problems and trials. you have to solve and get through them.

another one of those not so good weekends. probably because of the weather, but i guess my lazyness isn’t just dependent on that. i’m lacking that push i need. the drive, apparently is really hard to find.

watched 2046 last night. will watch in the mood for love this coming week. will go to work tomorrow. hope that tomorrow, the week would start well and end well too. too much to finish, not for the given amount of time, but for the readily available effort.

but yes, problems will end when solved. and when new ones arrive, they should be handled better, easier.

long weekend after a long week

2011-08-27T10:06:00.001+08:00

pero papasok pa rin naman sa lunes at martes. haha. ayos lang.

mabigat ang nagdaang limang araw sa trabaho. dalawang gabi ang pinalipas ko sa opisina, lunes at huwebes. hindi ako nakatakbo nung martes at hindi nakagimik nung miyerkules.

mga mga napala naman sa mga oras ng trabaho, pero may mga hindi pa rin natupad sa loob at labas ng opisina. masarap ang tawanan kagabi kasama nina arianne, jj, at liza, sa pagsasara ng nakakapagod na linggo sa trabaho.

kagabi, twitter achievement. ngayon, balik na ako sa pagtuloy ng mga blog na ito dahil tapos na ang isa na namang challenge week na hindi rin ganun kamatagumpay. pero pwede na rin. hindi naman puro palpak. napangiti naman ako at siguro naman, may mga napangitin ring iba.

ngayong sabado, maulan sa labas. tuloy pa rin ang pangangailangan kong ayusin ang mga bagay-bagay sa buhay ko.

sleepy eyes

2011-08-21T21:03:00.001+08:00

the weekend’s almost over. i think i’m recharging too much but i think it still isn’t enough.

27th anniversary of residence today. yey. haha. well, i’ve been here since birth. eitherway, a day of thanks. and yes, it’s actually nice and quite appropriate that i spent it enjoying the comfort of sleeping at home.

short end of the tomato

2011-08-20T20:10:00.001+08:00

hindi ko nagawa ang una at huli sa mga balak kong gawin ngayong araw na ito. pero ayos lang. sa kasalukuyan, ako’y busog pa sa victory party namin sa el buono, at sa wakas, nakapangumpisal na uli ako.

refreshing ang araw na ito dahil din naulanan. pero kung tutuusin, masyado akong nagpahinga ngayong agosto. napatagal ang recovery period ko dahil hindi rin tumaas nang todo ang dami ng napapala ko sa opisina. dapat makatakbo na uli ako sa martes.

hindi pa ako sigurado kung sa adidas king of the road o sa run united 3 ako uli sasali. kung anuman, sa susunod na buwan o sa nobyembre pa naman yun. ngayong agosto, ang dapat kong mapala na hindi nauugnay sa trabaho, makatapos ng mga kanta.

friday nights at home

2011-08-19T23:10:00.001+08:00

and it was filling. had spaghetti then rice and giniling then a bit of baked mac. spent most of the night texting and watching tv.

today was one of those days that could have been better but didn’t turn out to be so bad. i really need to go to greenbelt chapel tomorrow.

plans for tomorrow: sideline, “overtime”, el buono, greenbelt, alabang.

i’ll have that veggie ramen on monday.

parang tanga lang talaga

2011-08-19T07:41:00.001+08:00

hindi ko alam kung anong kailangan kong gawin para umayos ang pakiramdam ko ngayon. nakadepende ata talaga sa ibang tao.

prison?

2011-08-18T08:27:00.001+08:00

it seems to be no freedom for me tonight. haha. oh well. will have to make the best of the day today.

hindi dahil 3in1, mabuting ideya uminom ng 3+1

2011-08-17T22:34:00.001+08:00

pero umepekto naman din. medyo naging hyperactive. maya-maya, hyperacidic. salamat sa nescafé 3in1 strong and rich.

inaantok ako. burnout? o hindi lang talaga kaya ng katawan simula pa lang? basta, dapat kayanin. dapat maging magaling.

mukhang wala akong masyadong natapos kanina. nakarami lang ng ingles sa product presentation ng supplier ng expansion joints. oh yeah. bukas, big day. kailangang maging big day at rocking night!

lifting weights

2011-08-17T08:08:00.001+08:00

i have a feeling i won’t be going home early tonight. work. well, i’m not early afterall.

onion rings

2011-08-16T22:41:00.001+08:00

hindi ako na-late kaninang umaga pero nakatanggap ako ng email na nagpaalala sa akin na late na naman ako sa commitments.

umaga, meryenda/agahan, tuna sandwich mula sa mr. donut. may kabagalan ang pakiramdam ng umaga at may kabilisan ang oras. tanghalian, chicken sandwich sa burger king. lunch out kasama si ailene. take out ng onion rings para matuwa si iris pero kahit ata wala, tila tuwang-tuwa naman sila ni cesar.

hindi ako nakauwi nang maaga gaya ng inaasahan. nagkita pa kami ni dian saglit bago ako nagtungo sa mcs para bilhin ang pouch ng bagong myphone ng tatay ko. natulog ako sa sofa pagkatapos maghapunan at maya-maya, nang gising na ako at nakatapos na sina mama ng rosaryo, medyo hyper sa facebook sa cellphone habang nakahiga pa rin sa sofa.

maraming hindi mabuting tila umuulit at hindi natatapos. parang onion rings lang ba, bilog, umiikot lang? pag kinagat ang onion ring, napuputol ang bilog.

andito sa pilipinas si paris hilton. nakita ko pa kahapon ang billboard ng azure at may pagkakaugnay pala siya doon. paalala ng mga hindi ko natapos. may hindi pa ako natatapos ngayon. kailangang makatapos. kailangang kagatin ang onion ring.

tama na ang softdrinks

2011-08-15T22:05:00.001+08:00

yesterday morning, we went to bulakan to attend Mass and visit lolo, lola, and tita cory at the cemetery. stopped by at ate' fe’s for some pancit. pancit was great and i owe a lot of it to the bathroom break. we didn’t get to drop by the house since we didn’t have much to do. hopefully we’ll get back there some time soon with buds handling some work to be done.

lunch at waltermart by 1pm. cute thing happened when i got back from the restroom to wash my hands, a kid, maybe 2years old, was walking then looked at me then came to me. i was sitting there amazed at how cute the scene was.

tinola jam by 6+pm. i went home rather late. nice jam with new drummer. it was great of goey to recommend him and give us a ride. ack. i need a ride.

best and i have been texting these past days and i thanked her last night on how i tended to be down but her company lifted me enough.

today was so so at work except that i think i did some progress for the intake structure requirements. tomorrow, more things to accomplish at the office. work and non-work related.

a simple compliment. wow. i’m actually having difficulty delivering. interesting. very.

liwanag ng buwan

2011-08-13T22:29:00.001+08:00

tulog ako halos ngayong sabado. stressed at walang nagawang mabuti at kapakipakinabang. kailangang baliktarin.

pero masaya kagabi. matapos ang work week, kumain kami nina arianne, iris, cesar, at tristan sa korean restaurant sa ortigas. masaya at nasarapan naman ako sa pagkain. at soju. nostalgic ang lasa ng soju. medyo nostalgic din ang pakikipaglaban sa mrt.

pagkatapos kumain at maglakad nang malayo pabalik sa edsa, nagtungo ako sa 77. natrafik lang sa cubao pagkababa ni tristan at sa gma ako bumaba. nawala nang konti dahil sa timog ako naglakad at nag-taxi na lang para makarating sa 77.

matao pala pero natagpuan ko rin sina cara, john, at kasama niya. panalo ang pagkain at naka-2 redhorse ako at kalahati nung green bottled san miguel beer na hindi inubos ni sunny na late dumating.

masarap ang kwentuhan. dapat nga gawin namin yun �once every convenient span of time.� sumabay ako kay john pauwi, at sa edsa, napansin ko ang liwanag ng buwan kahit may kaunting ulap.

visitation rights

2011-08-11T22:09:00.001+08:00

may karapatan na akong tapusin ang mga kulang ko sa rodriguez intake structure. sana kaya. konti na lang. para malibre ko na rin sina sir tj at maam raizel ng kape.

patapos na pala ang work week bukas. sana pagpatak ng alas-sais, tapos na nga at sa lunes na uli. gala. gala. gala!
