Should I keep this blog alive?
Actually, the more appropriate question would be, "Should I resureect this blog?" The last post was way back in 2008. I also created another blog in Tumblr, but that hasn't been updated too. I feel that I need to start blogging again in order to clear my thoughts and to finally have a purpose in life. Not that my purpose in life is to blog, but what I'm saying is, writing has always been a part of my life, and it would be a shame if I don't tap into it. I know I'm not making much sense to you guys now, but the important thing is I am making sense to myself. Hahaha!
Anyway, I need to start doing the simple things that I enjoy - blogging, praying, walking, exercising. I'm not getting any younger, and I just need to follow the seven habits. Particularyl, putting first things first and beginning with the end in mind.
I'm thinking of doing a charity intstitution visit for my 30th birthday. I'm thinking between Elsie Gaches, the government institution for children with special needs (e.g. autism, cerebral palsy, etc.), Virlanie Foundation in Makati (where my team had its outreach program last February), or Haven for Children in Alabang (center for street children). But of course, I need to make a few calls and get the ball rolling, so to speak.
What else? Well, there's the upcoming Paul van Dyk event, Cream Halloween Ball event, Pelicula Spanish Film Festival, and of course, Wicked!!! I am blessed. Life is good.

addicted to mobile internet
after three years of sticking with my old phone, i decided to get a new one. finally! i owe it to myself, the navi key of my old phone is pretty screwed up already anyway. imagine, the down function won't work. i already had a workaround system in place. but the bottom line is, i didn't have to. so I got myself a new phone.
so, after hours of googling all mobile phones, i have decided to purchase a samsung. my sister has a samsung, and she has been raving about how nice it is and all. so i took her advice and purchased one for myself. i had a different unit in mind, though. i wanted a phone that a.) has a nice camera, b.) has a pretty decent music player, c.) has a large memory, or at least one that is expandable, and d.) has internet connection via wifi, gprs,hsdpa.
i was thinking of purchasing the pda phone of samsung, but i realized i may not be able to utilise the pda functions of the phone, so that would be a waste. i finally decided on the samsung sgh-g810, which, as it turns out, is samsung's phone to compete against the nokia n95. not bad, eh? both have the symbian OS, have a 5MP camera, are slider phones and are of the same height. the samsung, however, is sleeker, albeit a bit on the thicker side.
what i found truly amazing (and addicting), is the fact that i could go online practically anytime, as long as i got a clear 3G signal or if there's wifi available. and that's now the main purpose of my phone. i mean, yes i still use it for texts and calls, of course. but given the fact that i got another mobile number with cheaper rates, i tend to just use it for the internet.
not that i'm complaining, mind you.

and celebrate we did.
some photographer took our picture during the event, and less than a month later, that photo appeared in an events calendar/magazine. amazing! of course i have a copy. for posterity, you know. maybe 10,15 years from now i shall look at it and smile at all the good times.
good vibes? hell yeah. thanks of course to claire. and bill, it was his first time to attend such an event. i hope he had a great time too.
i cant wait for chicane!
post: this post was super delayed, i dont even know what to put in here anymore.

it's that time of the month
no, i dont get periods. hahaha! what i meant was, it's the last day of the month. therefore, catching up would be the theme for today. deliverables, feedback sessions, extra-curricular activities are some of the things i need to accomplish today. yes, i know - a lot. and yet, why am i writing this entry instead of getting my ass to start working? beats me. i figured i would thrive under pressure later during the day. either that, or i am one helluva procrastinator. my bet is the latter.
technically, this would be my first day of the week in terms of real work. went on a tour (yes, as in field trip) on monday, then tues-wed i attended a training. so how's my "monday" so far? aside from the fact that there's zero visibility due to the rain (is there even a storm? i'm totally clueless), it's been great so far. bumped into the auditors earlier at the comfort room. for a moment there i thought they would start questioning me and stuff. things have been pretty tense here at work coz of the internal auditing going on. i dunno until how long will they be here. hopefully by next week they won't be around anymore.
if the rains abate later, it's gonna be party time! havent gone out with my work friends for almost a month now. it's time to catch up with our drinking, too. hehehe.

they should've named it "The Joker"
all these summer movies (it is summer in the states, after all) are giving me a celluloid kind of high. considering i have missed my chance of watching some good ones (get smart, for one), the recent ones i did get a chance to see are amazing. mamma mia, of course, is one of my favorites. but this latest one is so amazing, i have already seen it TWICE. one day after the other. you read right = twice. clearly, the dark knight is one of the best superhero movies ever made.
all that buzz about heath ledger getting a posthumous oscar has merit after all. he was that good. dont get me wrong, jack nicholson is a super talented actor. he did justice with his joker. but with heath? his joker is so twisted, so demented, you would think that he was born to do this role, and ONLY this role.
fast forward to february 2010: yes, heath won the Oscar posthumously. hahahaha!

Beautiful Things
Tiesto
Got up early, found something's missing
my only name.
No one else sees but I got stuck,
and soon forever came.
Stopped pushing on for just a second, then nothing's changed.
Who am I this time, where's my name?
I guess it crept away.
No one's calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won't bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got its hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.
I forgot that I might see,
So many beautful things.
I forgot that I might need,
to find out what life could bring.
Take this happy ending away, it's all the same.
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility.
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
this trace of blame.
Frozen still I thought I could stop,
now who's gonna wait.
No one's calling for me at the door.
and unpredictable won't bother anymore.
and silently gets harder to ignore.
look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
what's done is done, this life has got its hold on me.
just let it go, what now can never be.
So many beautful things
So many beautful things
Now what do I do?
can I change my mind?
did I think things through?
It was once my life - it was my life at one time.

respite
i need a break. once again, i'm in a rut. i hope two days off from work will do the trick. the question is, when? this week is obviously out of the question, as i only have two days left before the week ends. perhaps next week? i can, but there lies the next question: where? or even, what? what do i do when i take a day off? get a massage? catch up on my reading and correspondence? i've got tons of books waiting to be devoured, from the classics to the less-popular authors. go to some far-flung province, hide away in a resort by myself? so not me, but i've always wanted to do that. hmm... get laid? no problems there, hahaha! i was thinking that getting laid would make me energized again, but somehow it didnt do the trick.
i need to get involved in something else. organise an event? which reminds me, there's this super long-overdue team building for the team. talk about a logistic nightmare: 16 pax spread over varying shifts. sounds fun, eh? note to self: start planning for it! take up a course, any course? only if my mom or sister would be paying for it. hehehe.
how about going out? oh, that's right: i've been doing that a lot lately. again! nothing seems to work, sigh.

density
i have to admit, i am somewhat dense. especially when it comes to people's perception of me. not that i really care about what other people think, but sometimes i get still get surprised by it. i wouldnt really know if someone likes me (and not in the romantic sense, mind you) or not unless he/she tells me directly. unless my friends point out the signs, i'll remain obtuse. seriously.
the reason i am writing about it now is because lately i realized that i ain't no mr. personality after all. then again, i would never be mr. personality, for i am definitely not ugly. hahaha!
going back, it's just funny how people go through all the trouble of just making you feel that they dont like you. if it were me, i'd say let's just take it outside. but i know that would never happen.
okay, given the fact that i have detractors (or dementors) of sorts, i would just like to request for one thing: make them smarter? please. i told my dear friend about my predicament, and she just said, "please. dont they know we eat stuff like this for breakfast? give us something more difficult."
it gets pretty tiring, true. but hey, i've been here for a long time. and i'm still here. ha.

i am not an auditory person
which is very ironic, considering that my current post requires a lot of listening. and i do mean A LOT. which is why it takes me a long time to accomplish my deliverables.
i've been here for over four hours now, and i'm not even one-thirds done. grr... i was really hoping i finish everything today, so by tomorrow i will engage myself with other tasks at hand. this transitioning phase is not as easy as i thought it would. but i'm not complaining. it just challenges me to bring back the OC in me. in order for me to do that i would need to:
- finish all deliverables. that includes the grueling auditory task, plus sessions with my direct reports. the last one, i may add.
- clear my desk. this i need to do asap. after all, they'll be adding a monitor (i think it's 21-inches), since the laptop screen would be too small for the systems we shall be using. good luck with that!
- handle all housekeeping stuff - especially financials
- make my starbucks planner the love of my life (heck, i'm single anyway).
not too difficult when you think about it, eh? other things i need to accomplish include typing tutor (in order for me to type CORRECTLY), excel learnings (i have the tools!), working out and taking care of myself more. see? easy peasy lemon squeezy!

whew! the week is finally over
"dig within me, turn all the secret stones- Love Comes Again
forests and fields, breathing with blood and bones
still no words we can speak, our paths have been chosen
but all trails that we trek,
should lead us back to here because our..."
a classic tiesto song. it's exactly what i need to relax me. this was one helluva work week. i've been so busy, i forgot to watch american idol! of course, i knew it would be a David-vs-David final, but i was hoping i could watch syesha cry and wail while she leaves the show. oh well, perhaps i can youtube it later?
today was the most hectic. i had to step up and help the team - from attendance issues, system issues, even with work profile issues! not to mention my deliverable which has been long overdue. i have never let a deliverable lapse that long. it's embarrassing, i'm telling you. but at least i was able to accomplish it. talk about multi-tasking!
i was hoping i could go out and unwind tonight, but weather conditions prevented me from doing so. the winds were howling, and it's raining cats and dogs. i just hope that this isn't the official end of summer. pretty please, let this be a fluke and let the rainy season come in june!
i am amazed at how fast the internet connection here at this korean internet cafe is. talk about speed! considering that ours at work is not too shabby as it is, but these koreans want their internet fast. doubly fast.
tomorrow i shall be heading back to the salt mines, this time to become ahead of time. yes, i no longer want to procrastinate. since i am in a transition stage - even in terms of my appearance- i might as well include this in my list of changes. all for the better, right?
monday would be very interesting. let's see how tense the air will be once more. i can't write too much details about that. but i can tell you one thing: it won't be about me this time. halleluiah!
later.

realignment
after seeing other people’s pictures, profiles and whatnots, i decided that a realignment of my priorities is necessary. thanks to these social networking sites, it’s very easy to see what friends, friends of friends, and even complete strangers are up to. if they are getting what they want, there’s no reason why i shouldnt be in a similar situation.
whilst i still do not totally know what my priorities are, i am slowly getting there. let’s take a look at some of the things that really make me happy: traveling. good food. beautiful places. beautiful people. music. art. movies. long conversations. reading. friends.
it may seem like i already know what i want. trust me, that’s far from the truth. i know that i shall realise it this year (if the predictions come true). until then, i shall just continue with what i’m doing. i am never one to settle for mediocrity, and i consider that as one of my strengths. so no matter what it is i’m doing, i give it my best.
how long will this realignment going to take place? i haven’t the slightest idea. but hey, at this point i should be through with being impatient. it will come, it will come.

random thoughts
while waiting for facebook to pull up, i decided to post an entry. no particular topic in mind, just wherever my fingers will take me.
i need to get out of this rut! financial rut, that is. but how can i, now that i am in charge of handling all financial obligations at home? it doesnt help that my dad keeps on screaming at me about these things either. death. as much as i would like to say something back, i cant. our relationship is not exactly a picture of perfect health, if you catch my drift. sigh...
i will pull myself out of this. i know i will. in the interim, i need to learn to LBMM. live beyond my means. ha! i know, i know - it's a tall order. but hey, work with me here. i am trying to get my life back on track, after all.
meanwhile, i am back on training. which means one thing: fixed schedule! nooo! hehehe. it may seem like i'm overreacting, but it is an adjustment on my part to actually follow a fixed schedule again. it's all good, i enjoy learning new things, meeting new people and that sort of stuff anyway. day 1 has ended, and i must say, it went pretty well. true, there were a lot of techincal glitches - error logging in, no access to the systems, etc. but hey, it's only the first day right?
like what i twittered a couple of weeks back - i need a realignment of my priorities. i think i am slowly realizing what it is that i want to do with my life. i just need to think about it more, i guess.
i wanna go to qc and visit my alma mater. up has never failed to make me feel good about myself. even back then when i was at my lowest, there is something about the campus which made me feel assured. perhaps it's the wide open spaces, the trees, the food (isaw!!), the architecture (hehehe), the fact that you are with fellow intellectuals. i dunno exactly. but it always works. i need a breath of up air. SOON.
guess this is all for now. later.

meanwhile, i am back on training. which means one thing: fixed schedule! nooo! hehehe. it may seem like i'm overreacting, but it is an adjustment on my part to actually follow a fixed schedule again. it's all good, i enjoy learning new things, meeting new people and that sort of stuff anyway. day 1 has ended, and i must say, it went pretty well. true, there were a lot of techincal glitches - error logging in, no access to the systems, etc. but hey, it's only the first day right?
like what i twittered a couple of weeks back - i need a realignment of my priorities. i think i am slowly realizing what it is that i want to do with my life. i just need to think about it more, i guess.
i wanna go to qc and visit my alma mater. up has never failed to make me feel good about myself. even back then when i was at my lowest, there is something about the campus which made me feel assured. perhaps it's the wide open spaces, the trees, the food (isaw!!), the architecture (hehehe), the fact that you are with fellow intellectuals. i dunno exactly. but it always works. i need a breath of up air. SOON.
guess this is all for now. later.

post-tiesto
after (two) years of waiting, it finally happened. tiesto was here!
the party itself was great vibes of course. forget the lack of air-conditioning, the circumstances that hounded me before and even during the party, and other snafu. i had a blast, and that was all that mattered. it was great seeing friends there too. even before the party began, we were already hugging and smiling. it's like we all knew that no matter what, this will be one helluva night. and it truly was.
prior to this event, i said to myself that if tiesto played five tracks which i consider my favorites, then the the price i paid for the ticket would have been worth it. which tracks are these? in no particular order, they are: love comes again, break my fall, dance4life, adagio for strings, and in the dark. tiesto did not disappoint me. he played all these songs and more! even while writing this i remember how good it felt hearing those songs being played by the man himself. heaps of love to tiesto!
all is good with the world once more. hehehehe.

sigh...
i'm tired. right now i feel so defeated. it's really hard to discuss this (especially here), but i'm at the point where i just wanna up and leave. of course, i won't do that. not that i can, anyway. i have too much responsibilities. and mainly because i care.
fuck. dont you just hate it? in spite of everything, i still care.
this is so distressing. i cant even organise my thoughts.
AAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're So Vain
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and....
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
and that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and....
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all of the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and....

so much for baguio
baguio trip - cancelled.
at least for me. my choirmates are still going. it's so frustrating i swear. the thing is, i was informed a couple of days ago that i will have a week-long training starting monday. my baguio trip is on 5-7 april 2008. we planned it as such since april 7 is a holiday. which was perfect for me, since i get to have a vacay this summer.
apparently not. training will push through on monday even if it's a holiday.
this is so not right. i told my choirmate i won't be joining anymore. he was upset about it. he said i rarely get to join them in any out of town trips(so true). but it wont make any sense if join them just for an overnight thing. not worth my effort, time and money.
sigh.
