sasama ako kay nel at ma'am maggie sa laoag, vigan at baguio sa thursday 'til saturday. they will be setting up titanium (our online attendance & payroll system), while i'll be milling around on my own. i'm so excited!
i'm actually going on vacation! i'll be taking a leave! woohoo!
i'll be riding a plane (2nd time ko pa lang, 1st time was when i was three, so that practically doesn't count). yehey!
wala lang, i'm just so happy. : )

conversation with kiko
kiko (to mommy): where the one should we going?
me (to kiko): "where should we go?" o "where are we going?".
kiko: thank you for correcting me.
me: you're very welcome.
kiko: you're very thank you.
WAHAHAHA!
mukhang marami pang lessons kaming pagdaraanan. ;)

bumenta ito sa akin : )
Save water.
Shower with your boyfriend.
The wise never marry.
And when they marry they become otherwise.
If your father is a poor man, it is your fate.
But, if your father-in-law is a poor man, it's your stupidity.
I was born intelligent.
Education ruined me.
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station.
What more can I say?
How come "abbreviated" is such a long word?
Money is not everything.
There's Mastercard & Visa.
One should love animals.
They are so tasty.
Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.
Children in backseats cause accidents.
Accidents in backseats cause children.
Your future depends on your dreams.
So, go to sleep.
Hard work never killed anybody.
But why take the risk?!
Work fascinates me.
I can look at it for hours!
When two's company, three's the result!
A dress is like a barbed fence.
It protects the premises without restricting the view
The more you learn, the more you know.
The more you know, the more you forget.
The more you forget, the less you know.
So...why learn?

23 on 23
another year was added to my age, as i turned 23 last may 23. it was a rather quiet day. workday kasi, e. i originally wanted to take a leave, but i had to cancel that plan because of my turnover (which was from tuesday to friday last week).
nel (whose birthday was on may 7) & i had a joint blowout for HR. upon my request, may isaw at kwek-kwek! ang saya! buti na lang, mabait si ma'am cora (from IT; siya ang usual caterer namin sa office). unique tuloy ang menu ko: carbonara, barbecue, isaw, puto, kwek-kwek at iced tea. saan ka pa?!
in fairness, mabenta ang isaw at kwek-kwek. ubos agad! the barbecue was sold out also. everyone was quite full in the end. i even had some leftover carbonara that i brought home, & some puto that i gave to kuya jerry. when i got home, i ate chicken, liempo and cake with my family.
nung friday, blowout naman ng HR for me. may chocolate cake, siomai at spaghetti. in fairness, hindi ko in-expect yun. hindi ko rin napansin. masyado siguro akong aligaga dahil sa trabaho. basta, sinabi na lang nila na kumain na kami. nakahaing na pala lahat dun sa dating testing area na ginagawa rin naming dining area.
well, what's new with me, other than being a year older? as i mentioned in an earlier post, i would be moving to a new department. in a way, i guess the blowout of HR for me was also a send off. effective today, i'll be a project management officer (PMO) for corporate planning.
why? it was my request, actually. i spoke to my supervisor & told her that i felt that it was time for me to move on to something else. i felt that i've given it enough of a shot, as i have handled recruitment for over a year already before i came to this decision. even though i understand the importance & the impact of the job, there was something missing, as i was not happy.
being a psych graduate, i subscribe to the theory of job fit. i believe that there are certain jobs that are right for some people, but not for others. i believe that certain qualities make people right for certain jobs. & i believe that a misfit would cause the person to be unhappy & unfulfilled.
maybe recruitment is not the right job for me; i could only hope that being PMO is. but i know that i tried. i really did.
at this point, i pray that i will be able to do better as PMO. after all, there's no turning back now. i'm going to miss the company of HR a lot, but i will do my best to blend into corplan, my new family in the office.
for my past six birthdays, you were around. this is the first time since then that you weren't. i miss you.

the idiot's guide to using a flash drive
after ten million years, i have decided to junk my floppies in favor of a two-gigabyte toshiba transmemory. hurrah to me! HURRAH!!!
you may ask, what prompted the ever-kuripot grace to buy a Php 1400 flash drive? well, i'm moving to a different department (more on this some other time), & my new position would involve doing some presentations. nahihiya naman ako sa boss ko kung forever ko na lang ipapa-email sa kanya yung mga powerpoint, kasi wala akong flash drive. ayun.
here's how the newest addition to my office stuff looks like:
at dahil medyo nakakaloka ang presyo ng device na ito, binasa ko ang manual. marami akong natutunang mga importanteng bagay tulad ng:
* accidental swallowing may cause suffocation or injury. contact a doctor immediately if you suspect a child has swallowed the product.
* the product shall not be used with equipment (including but not limited to atomic energy control, airplane or spaceship, transportation, traffic signal, combustion control, or medical instruments, as well as all types of safety devices) that requires extraordinarily high quality and/or reliability, or equipment a malfunction or failure of which may cause loss of human life or bodily injury.
* toshiba assumes no liability for damage or losses due to fire, earthquake, natural disaster, accidents, acts of third parties, or negligent or intentional misuse.
buti na lang, may manual. hahaha! :D

serving crazy with curry
"some love deeply, some love forever. my love for her is beyond tomorrow, beyond today, beyond forever. i will always remember her, always mark the day she came and the day she left. she will forever be inside of me, along with regret, which will not be as heavy because she will be there as well, easing this heavy load inside of me."

2nd day in mindoro: water fun!
our second day in mindoro was devoted to the beach. but before we attempted to frolic (& roast) under the scorching heat of the sun, we went around pinamalayan for a while.
we passed by the police station where lorryle's uncle works. akala naman namin, pulis lang siya dun. chief of police pa pala! eto, photo ops:
asa police station din pala yung may-ari ng resort na pupuntahan namin. sabi niya, maganda yung place, kaso hindi pa developed. may mga cottage nga raw na nasira ng bagyo. of course, that's okay with us. libre naman ang paligo, e. hehe! i, for my part, was really excited. this is my first time to go to an undeveloped resort after all. my mind was already conjuring up images of unspoiled beauty.
we passed by the plaza first kasi may moriones daw. surprise, surprise! hindi lang pala sa marinduque ang moriones.
nagpakuha rin ako katabi ni Jesus:
sabi nila, penitensya daw ng participants yung moriones. sa bagay, sakripisyo nga naman yun kasi ang init dun sa plaza!
tapos, namalengke na kami. they had picky me in mind, so they bought squid along with the fish. alam niyo naman ako, maarte sa pagkain.
we got to the resort after a very short drive. siguro, mga 20 minutes lang. these were the images that greeted us:
wow!
this was our cottage:
in fairness, cottage talaga siya.
naglublob lang ako sandali, kasi sobrang init. tapos, natulog na ako. hehe...when i woke up, it was lunch time already. yehey! unfortunately, they forgot to cook the squid along with the fish. so, nagtiyaga muna ako sa isda. pero touched ako kay tita lolit kasi nung naalala nila, niluto niya agad yung pusit. isa lang muna, para sa akin. pero nung naluto na lahat, eto na ang ginawa namin:
mga bona kids po yan, mga batang may laban. hehe!
siyempre, after stuffing our faces with food, lumangoy kami ulit. nakakatuwa kasi sobrang linis ng tubig. yun nga lang, mabato talaga pag nasa mababaw ka pa lang. we also tried to fit ourselves into this small boat:
ang sakit sa puwet, i swear!
later on, we also tried climbing a coconut tree.
the end result:
let me re-emphasize the word, "tried". hehe! (hindi ko kasi maabot yung susunod na hawakan)
after frolicking a bit more, we decided that we've had enough of the water already, kaya nagbanlaw na kami. ang hirap kasi isa lang ang shower! ma'am maggie, nel and i ended up taking turns using a hose, while a korean family was watching. haha!
when we were dressed already, we walked along the beach. i decided to take a couple more shots:
we went home before 6, i think. sobrang bilis magpatakbo nung driver! may libre tuloy kaming "natural powder" galing sa kalsada. grabe.
we proceeded to chief's house. since we were still early, we heard mass first. holy thursday nun, so they re-enacted the part of the last supper where Jesus watched the feet of His disciples.
naaliw din pala ako nung sermon ng pari. he mentioned JVP! that means na may JVP volunteer na na-assign sa pinamalayan, o sa isang malapit na area. ang galing! it also means na malayo na talaga ang narating namin (literally) kasi usually, sa malalayong area pinadadala ang jesuit volunteers para tumulong. hehe...
after the mass, we went back to chief's house for dinner. videoke naman after, but i didn't sing. inaantok na ako, e! we went back to the house of lorryle's aunt at around 10. if i remember correctly, we just freshened up a bit, then went to sleep.
zzzzz.....
up next: last 2 days in mindoro - good friday and black saturday

new discovery
i just found out from my dad last night that my paternal grandfather was a war veteran. ain't it cool? it's just too bad that he has passed away already. & even when he was alive, he was in catanduanes. if he were living closer, maybe he could have regaled me with stories of his adventures in chasing away the japanese.
i wonder, what other new things will i learn about my family in the future?

mindoro: the trip to the island
as promised, i will be posting about our mindoro trip. pero one day at a time lang, ha?
early dismissal kami sa office nung holy wednesday, april 4. buti na lang! at least, we were be able to leave early for mindoro. ang nag-aya, si lorryle, yung company nurse namin. dun kasi ang province nila, so sila ng mom niya ang mag-iikot sa amin. magkakasama kami nina ms. maggie at nel. sumama rin si richard, yung isang messenger namin.
by the way, here's how my bed looked like while i was packing that morning:
ang gulo, no? crammer kasi ako sa pag-iimpake, e.
nel was on leave that day, so she just met us at the office. after we left the office, we passed by allied bank (for money, of course) first then mercury drug (for batteries). after that, we rode a jeep to buendia-taft to get to the bus that would take us to batangas pier. ang swerte namin kasi may RRCG bus na nagsisimula pa lang magpuno. here's nel and i while waiting for the bus to move:
i just borrowed the digicam from my cousin, ate belen. during this time, hindi pa ako marunong maglagay ng flash. hehe...
sobrang naaliw ako sa ticket! digital na pala. they have this small machine which prints the ticket right then and there on thermo paper. cool! the fare was P146.45 pesos.
traffic pagdating sa laguna, at sa labas ng batangas pier. when you come to think about it, it's not that far, but because of the traffic, the trip took three hours.
when we got to batangas pier, we ate dinner first. simple lang ang kinain namin, pero ang mahal! for one, i ate lechon kawali and 1 rice, pero umabot na ng P60. mas nagulat si ma'am mags, kasi P100 ang inabot ng kinain niya, kasi may gulay at saging pa. sabi ko nga sa kanila, expected ko na mahal ang pagkain, kasi mahal din yung carinderia na kinainan namin ni daddy dati noong papunta kami ng albay. oh, well.
we bought our tickets after eating. dahil inaantay pa namin si tita lolit (lorryle's mom) at si obet, yung kasama niya, we bought tickets for a ferry that would leave at 11:30 from besta shipping lines, even though it was only a few minutes past 10. the name of the ferry was MV baleno, and the ticket was P160.
sa loob ng pier na lang namin inaantay sina tita lolit.
the blue bag with the orange zipper is mine. hehe...

sa loob ng pier na lang namin inaantay sina tita lolit.
the blue bag with the orange zipper is mine. hehe... gusto sana mag-coffee ni ma'am mags, kaya umikot muna kami. she decided against having coffee a little later.
akala ko, mababagot ako sa kaaantay, pero hindi pala. ang bilis lang ng oras! we boarded the ferry in what seemed like less than an hour. grabe, unahan ang mga tao! buti na lang, mabilis si tita lolit, kaya nakakuha pa siya ng upuan. wala na nga lang kama. sayang.
pangit yung ferry, overloaded pa. we found out later na cargo ship lang pala yun dati ng asia brewery. maliit lang, kaya ramdam na ramdam mo yung alon, kahit nakadaong pa. just see how blurred the pics are, even though my hand was perfectly still:
pero kahit na blurred, i still like this picture:
medyo kinabahan ako sa alon, kaya kahit hindi ako biyahilo, i asked lorryle for bonamine. i was not able to bring water, so i had to take it with the sprite that was left over from our dinner. it was lorryle who gave me the bottle. konting ikot pa lang ng takip, pumutok na! sobrang lakas, nakakahiya! people were actually looking in my direction. lumipad talaga yung cap sa harap, but i was too embarrassed to bother getting it. not to mention that the sprite was drenching my right hand in the manner of bubbly champagne that was just released from the prison of a bottle and a cork.
supposedly, the ferry was to leave at 11:30, but it left at 12. i don't know why there was a delay. throughout the trip, i tried to sleep, but without much success. i think it was at around past when i felt so bad, i threw up. luckily, i had a plastic bag with me.
we arrived in calapan port a few minutes before three.
we rode a jeep for over an hour to get to pinamalayan, to the house of lorryle's relatives. they gave us some pancakes, then accompanied us to our rooms. i was so tired that i slept immediately, without bothering to wash my face, change clothes or remove my contacts.

hi!
i guess this must be the longest time that i have not updated. it's been what - 3 weeks? i have just been loaded lately. i go home late, tired from a day's work (not to mention exhausted from a workout).
btw, that's something new with me - i've been going to fitness first! wala lang, i just wanted to do something for myself. if i lose all the weight that i gained in the last year, that would be great. if not, then at least i could tick "went to a gym" as one of my life experiences. : )
i was in mindoro last holy week with some officemates. will be posting pictures soon. : )

weird dream
i dreamt that i have started dating again. in my dream, i was dating someone from physiology (my ex-boyfriend's fourth year high school class). the weird thing was, practically the whole physio was against the "relationship", because they felt that that guy was not right for me. they were mad at me for going out with him, to the extent that a group from physio was berating me about it. sobrang weird.
i remember who the guy i was supposed to be dating was, & i remember one girl who was lecturing me against going out with him. my ex was not in the dream (or at least, i don't remember seeing his face).
if i remember correctly, one hypothesis about dreams is that these are our mind's way of making sense of the signals that it sends when we are unconscious or semi-conscious. whatever.
what is this dream supposed to mean?!
any ideas?

if i remember correctly, one hypothesis about dreams is that these are our mind's way of making sense of the signals that it sends when we are unconscious or semi-conscious. whatever.
what is this dream supposed to mean?!
any ideas?

back, after a two-week hiatus
holler!
natawa ako, may comment na si chi na "update!" sa chatbox ko. first time ko atang nakatanggap ng ganoong comment. busy kasi ako during the past two weeks, kaya hindi na ako nakapag-update. tinatamad din. hehe! ; )
i went to a retreat last last week (feb. 23-25). buti na lang talaga, nakapunta ako. it was sponsored by the family renewal movement, a community that deirdre belongs to. actually, siya ang nag-invite sa amin. i went there with rica and rocel, two embryo classmates. there, i met jacqui & em, two of deirdre's college friends. we hit it right off. as in. we got to the BLD covenant house at 4:42 (sakto ang estimate ni manong driver!) but were already laughing our heads off at each other's stories before sunset. grabe kasi ang kwentong fitness first nina em at rica! i bet nagsisi si deirdre na kami ang pingsabay niya sa isang batch. hehe!
at some points, ang hirap ngang tandaan na retreat pala iyon. ang kulit kasi namin! 2 o'clock na kami natulog nung friday night (este, saturday morning) kasi puro kwentuhan. ang hirap tumahimik! pero kailangan, baka magising ang mga kasama namin sa "morgue" (mukhang morgue kasi ang kwarto namin, puro nakatalukbong ng puting kumot ang mga kasama namin).
kaya ayun, inaantok ako nang todo habang may nagsasalita. buti na lang, may kape.
nung saturday night (actually, sunday morning), 2 ulit ang tulog. ang masaya nito, ginising pa kami ng 5! as in! hinarana kasi kami ng sponsoring class. in fairness, na-enjoy ko yung songs kahit na single na ako. : )
buti na lang, balik sa tulog afterwards. then gising ulit ng 7.
teka, retreat nga pala iyon. haha!
maganda naman ang talks. i appreciated the one given by tita rose & tito paulo pabalan most. it was about traditional versus progressive beliefs. napaisip talaga ako sa discussion. a couple of times, napaiyak din ako sa reflections (as expected). natuwa rin ako nung nakita ko yung envelope na puro palanca letters from my family & friends. thank you. : ) & in fairness, i left BLD feeling a lot lighter & more optimistic. thank you, Lord. : )
kagagaling ko nga lang pala sa southmall dahil may 3-day sale. i was able to buy a bag, & two blouses today. nung friday naman, 1 business attire (na kailangan ko pang ipa-alter!) at amy tan's "the bonesetter's daughter". tapos ko na, kanina pa. bumili nga rin pala ako ng desk organizer nung friday. kung nakita mo na ang mesa ko sa office, obvious na kailangan ko. hehe! well, sobrang nice nung organizer! ican't wait to bring it to the office! yay! : )
oo nga pala, bumili rin ako ng walang-kamatayang stockings. : )
o siya, eto lang muna. may pasok pa ako bukas. balak ko pang pumasok nang maaga para ayusin yung mesa ko. career! : )
sweet dreams, friends. : )
