I am immortal


jen, mira, val, van, kaye and i started a tradition called girls-movie-night in the new greenbelt. which will be held every last thursday of the month. this thursday we decided to watch die another day. we all had a great time even tho van and kaye overslept and didnt show up.

promise tell you more about it later

eat with caution
4pm not so stuffed turkey, gravy in "balde", day old sour mashed potatoes, and a dice of apple pie. sounds yummy? hehehe. had my very first thanksgiving sort of party at work earlier. approximately 2am here. i lived in the philippines all my life so am not so familiar with this tradition. it was fun, people were all eager and exited to line up for the almost stale food. hee hee. the thanksgiving party officially started around 4pm and lasted up till the food was safe to eat, around 3am.

sleepless in makati
i almost died today. funny i fell asleep while driving 110kmph on the EXPRESS WAY!!! it was 7:30am for crying out loud. oh no worries am totally bruise free and breathing. tho in that 15 secs or less i could have swerved and crash to the concrete island, or worse crash to a car thus killing more than my self. wow no wonder people die in car accidents. hurly-burly and stupidity. so this is how it feels.

from child star to celebrity blogger
wil wheaton has a blag. interesting.

another on my all i want for christmas list

mulach's rang the bell
7:30am supposedly am still snoring. but the whole block's up and frantic. what the hell's goin on? another fire? another break-in? what the hell are our maids giggling about. my moms looking for my camera. by-golly turns out nino and aga are next door. doing who cares? my mom's pulling me to go pose and take pictures. the hell i see aga all the time before at jazzy house. he jogs every morning and passes by jazzy's house. as for nino mulach - who cares. tho i would like to take a peek at whats goin on - am still in pajamas and have no plans to change.

scary shite!
as i've said before am slowly losing my-so-called social life. i've missed a couple of birthday bashes, friday night movies, drinking sessions, and the NU ROCK AWARDS! tho according to monica i didn't miss much. i was actually lucky for missing the awards. well ace totally had the time of his life while monica and gerry got all the memorable souvenirs: bruised arm, trampled tummy, torn shirt, saliva showers, icky bodies, hair pulleys, and getting sandwiched between double doors. whoa not to mention they've got VIP tickets they were not able to use. with the number of people coming in i guess manong guard got out numbered. so it's no longer a matter of you've got the VIP tickets, it's a matter whether you've got the guts to watch it.

dream dream dream
i had a dream, tho i can't remember most of it. again i should have written it when i woke up. it's about a guy's quest to prove himself to a girl. that's all i can recall. darn it. the dream was so visually enticing and very funny - oh i remember the orange jumpsuit the guy fitted was actually kids pajamas. weird. and the sky was always like a big blue cotton candy. the were three big bells that gave a wailing echo and that i think was the best part - it reminded me of vertigo. darn i should have written it. it was a good dream. a dream that made sense. tho i think it was tragic for both of us. coz for the guy coz he went thru a lot of hard knocks and he wasn't able to get the girl. as for me i can't remember why. damn

just got home from marku's birthday bash. it wasnt much of a bash coz only a few of the gang showed up. it was fun still, specially the old shows and old cartoons we grew up with talk.

guaranteed seats




how do we guarantee our seats in heaven? according to pete and danny it's a matter of finishing the "decathlon to heaven". but what is our decathlon to heaven? what if we fail? do we go to straight to hell? yesterday i watched Stolen Summer (coffee clubs movie of the month) with some of the indiefil crew. It was about an eight year old boy quest to save the world by converting Jews to Catholics because he's troubled of going to hell.

i don't care about your shite
i love work! i love my graveyard shift. i love it! there's no freakin traffic my travel time takes about 20 mins max (that's back and forth). there's no freakin parkin fees. there's peace and quiet yosi time. tho i hate my freakin trainer. tho i don't see my bathroom tv. tho i don't get to watch tv. tho am starting to loose my social life. it's fuckin great still.

my dad called yesterday. he told me to quit my job. so does everyone else. zeus quits today - damn!

asteeg another one on my christmas wish list:

wow its only $70 hmmm probably buy this next month whahahaha

by the way its a company policy that i say i work in LA? weird...

people around me kept on saying i should quit my job and look for a new one. my mom says its too demanding, zeus says its freakin scabrous and boring - we have american accent class?!? and 24/7 eyes and hands on the computer, max says its too expensive - freakin parking is 110 bucks, kaye says good luck - what the hell's that suppose to mean... in my part i guess i'll let it breathe. it's just my first week - and working's really a serious matter. ya can't joke about it or fool around. i should always put that in mind. if ever i plan to spend even a month in my job. now that's the challenge on my part. i've never been serious in my life. damn...

oh god i can't believe am actually taking calls for armani. not that its superb or anything, coz its actually frustrating! you have to say the same line over and over. why the hell did i get myself into this anyway. what was i thinking? am not fit for customer service? and its for 8 hours a day. for the rest of my life --- nah don't think so. i think am gonna quit. but where the hell shall i go.

all i want for christmas and a long list of others to come:

it tastes the same. it tastes like pepsi cola without the berry? lemon coke's still the best

things i miss:

my tv -- i dont get to watch tv anymore whaaaaaaah. what the hell happened to amazing race? are the double mints eliminated? wish they show re-runs.

good home cooked meals, after a week of almost stale afternoon lunch what can i say i miss home

block gimicks

waking up late
i guess am not missing much afterall

yey indiefilipino made it to the finals!

SLEEPY
i'm trying my best to adjust to my new lifestyle. if you can call it a lifestyle. am not much of a morning person. that my current sched is killing me. but things will turn up this week. im starting graveyard -- thank god i can get sleep! coz as much as i try to sleep everytime i get home this past few days i just can't. 10 pm is too early for sleep - i finished two books in a week - but i had to sleep early coz i leave for work around 7am - bummer! not to mention im freakin studying again for work! for work? the hell i didnt even bother to open my notes in school now i have to freakin study for work? the hell... i even have 3 major exams which i can't fail. but how can i not fail if the passing is 91%? im not a UP graduate...

oh have i mentioned that food in the building was hell? yeah we eat lunch around 3pm, so food's almost gone, and we only have an hour to eat so we can't go eat anywhere else not even at the enterprise - which is just across us - darn! no food no sleep and no parking. i spend 110 bucks for freaking parking! im practically spending more than what am earning. damn is it me or i need to quit this job. no i just started, probably next year when im totally sick of it. but next month i get to move to the new building in jg summit. the new building just above my gym -- hmmm easy access, with the great view of manila bay -- darn the sunset's so good am posting the pictures soon, the building were lance gokongwei works --- amy told ya you'd rather work at ps! not to mention only 28 people including me occupy the whole 29th floor. coolness. few things to look forward to. but i still need my sleep.

don't dream its over
yesterday my friend told me he was hold-up in edsa on a tuesday. they got in his car took all his money, his brand new nokia 7650, and his old sl40. what's worse on a tuesday right? well they didn't get his brand new car, so i guess he's still lucky.

am i still lil jinx
i semi started work yesterday. 9:30am i had to be in the office at 9:30am. damn that was too early for me. not to mention i had to leave around 7am to avoid traffic. i guess you can never avoid traffic in the philippines. i was stuck in edsa for about an hour -- darn i had to stop by sss to get my sss number. i can't do that in an hour. well what's worse on a tuesday right? traffic? parking? hell yeah i went to sss and there was no freaking parking. i had my car washed so i can park at the nearby gas station. the only parking available. and that cost me around 80 bucks! darn am i stupid or what. desperate that's the word. what's worse on a tuesday right? well gee i guess after that gruesome "manong sige na pa park" scene at petron. guess i won't able to get my 80 bucks worth of parking afterall coz i brought the wrong birth certificate - so they fucking didn't give me my sss number. what's worse on a tuesday right? well it rained, the parking was all muddy and i fucking had a flat tire. good thing i was already on the office parking lot when i noticed. darn i still fucking dunno how to change a tire -- i should have gone to that driving orientation. where the hell is the jack. oh is that the jack. whaaaaaaaaaaaah. well good thing manong guard and his friends helped me. they've got no choice i guess. the beauty of being a woman. hahaha. oh wait if my mom finds out she'll probably won't let me drive anymore and have me hatid sundo everyday. what's the fun in that. no more gimick after work. well, what's worse on a tuesday? am still fortunate i went home alive, had food on the table waiting for me, and had a nice cozy bed to bring back those lost energy. but today's wednesday. its not fucking tuesday. only one tuesday a week. thank god. so what am i to worry about?

walk on the ocean
my mom's loud am radio was on again. but she's not home listening she's actually jogging outside. me and my weird family. i really dont give a fuck about what they say on the radio. its all the same everyday. same terrorist attacks, same weather reports, same president, and same poor country. nothing changes these days. but while i was about to hit the breakfast nook the announcer reports that a plane with 29 passengers just crashed in manila bay. no details about it tho. maybe later after an hour or so. i now plane's crash but not everyday.

i know its too good to be true
LOLA RENNT was showing on MNET yesterday (wow i love my cable - good films on tv not just sundays -- everyday). the sad part after an hour of the red head running around the street my tv just went blue and big bold letters appeared "SORRY WE'RE HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, PLEASE STAND BY" shite i never seen this film before... grrrrrrrrr. after 15 minutes of standing by the red head was running around the street again. darn wish to see the whole movie again. i missed the good part. the part were lola was answering manni's questions. whaaaaaaaah.

another vote wasted

1. Did you vote in your last elections?
Nope, am apathetic right? do i care about elections? well guess i still haven't registered

2. Do you know who your elected representatives are?
No, haven't voted yet. but if the time comes. the time where there's a worthy candidate --- i probably will try to get to know them personally.

3. Have you ever contacted an elected representative? If so, what was it about?
Yeah back in High School i think, its a school thing and I'm the photo editor of the school paper. So its cool i get to talk to the mayor and the congressman. haha well besides the fact that the congressman's wife is a friend of mom.

4. Have you ever participated in a demonstration?
Hell yeah, we do a lots of noise barrage back in high school - tho can't remember what for.

5. Have you ever volunteered in an election? What was the result?
Yep i was with the NAMFREL QUICKCOUNT last senatorial elections. I also helped with the JOKER ARROYO campaign.

Dawson in a Avary-Ellis movie... hmmm looks interesting

pricesmart alabang opens today. yey to pizza!

and the holes are leaning, white sprokets fly
a great find: BORN MAGAZINE

please check out Silent Movie by Carl Buchanan

native american kung fu?
After the gruesome interview i had yesterday (which i dont want to talk about -- thank you zeus for that wonderful intro) i went to see brotherhood of the wolf. honestly i've never seen anything like it before and i'm pretty sure i never will again. it was an extraordinary film but not necessarily great. the first scenes were bearable but for 2 1/2 hours its occasionally tiresome. yes tiresome even with all the slow-mo/fast-mo fight scenes, supersaturated colors and grotesque makeup. the movie was quite a mess - a jarring mix of genres - and lets not talk about vague foreshadowing. in all its absurdity i have to admit it was quite entertaining.

some kind of wonderful
Just finished watching it. Tho I was hoping for frogs to fall from the sky -- instead a harmonium was left in the street. PT Anderson really makes my world swirl. Don't you just love the challenge of trying to figure out HIS hidden meanings and subtext. His pace, his style, his music, his actors, his words. It's all poetry in action. And Adam Sandler in a PT Anderson film? Hmmmm definitely not your typical Sandler movie. I really enjoyed watching Sandler's performance in Punch-Drunk Love. Emily Watson as well. I can't wait to watch it again in the big screen with all the Hard Core Sandler fans. Watching PT Anderson is definitely an aquired taste -- just keep an open mind and look closer -- you'll find some kind of wonderful.

Ummm where do you park?
important question indeed. well it took me 30 mins to find one, that's reasonably walkable. it was my very first personal (the phone interview was nothing) job-interview-exam of sorts. who would have thought that all the stress boils down to parking. not to mention mental, emotional, and physical starvation. yes about 20 or so people missed lunch this day to try their luck at answering the phone. yes luck in answering the phone --- am applying for customer service? wait answering phones, talking to customers, yes answering phones idiot -- what am i thinking? well at least i get to wear those cute wireless headsets like angelina jolie. guess there's no turning back now. i've come this far since that phone interview that lasted 30 seconds or even less --- now thats what i call interview. ok so the exam wasnt so bad well a few reading comprehension, grammar test, internet quiz --- is linux an operating system?? and that hellish ice cold typing exam --- they made sure the temperature inside the room was below freezing. not to mention the annoying 35 daddy-o who took the typing exam with us. he can't shut his mouth for like 5 seconds. grrrrrrr. its a freaking speed test shut up! yey after 3 hours of ice cold airconditioning and almost leaping heart beats it was finally over. ahhhh. but nuff said they want me back tomorrow around 11:45am for the last interview. yikes!

how tragic...



well it wasnt so "glitterish" as what most citics say. tho it was a real mess of sorts. a big fashion show fiasco. guy ritchie should have known better. and even tho madonna looked good in a bikini at 44 that doesnt take away the fact that she's not fit for the role. but you cant blame them. guess you can chuckle all you want then --- its a comedy you know --- coz its the only redepmtion you'll get.

here's my not so friday fridayfive:

1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith?
yep ROMAN CATHOLIC

2. Do you still practice that faith? Why or why not?
Well yeah, i attend mass as much as i can. I go to confessions and all. but i'm not much of a fuzz about tradition and stuff, i just believe that there is a God and that people should thank him in anyway they can. like do good and spread love that sort of thing. BECAUSE its a beautiful world even tho we experience partly cloudy or rainshowers and thunderstorms.

3. What do you think happens after death?
Well i was raised to believe in heaven and hell. and the so called purgatory. but i dont believe in hell. how could a GOD so good and so great let his people suffer? ehh whats the purpose in that. PUNISHMENT. can GOD punish us? will he punish us? isnt it that we make our own hellish dump -- not GOD? well that i dunno. i also believe in reincarnation. but thats another long topic to talk about.

4. What is your favorite religious ritual (participating in or just observing)?
Simbang Gabi everybody loves it. Wishes do come true.

5. Do you believe people are basically good?
A BIG YES. tho i cant imagine how the not so good manage to sleep at night knowing they did something wrong --- if theres such thing as WRONG --- another topic to discuss. but maybe there's no such thing as wrong or bad -- we just limit ourselves to what we think is good and right. suffering is bad. hate is bad. war is bad. killing is bad. peace is good. love is good. so everything that hurts or cause us severe damage is WRONG and BAD? then did GOD made the world with two EXTREMES? not one? not just GOOD?
