[ if you’re looking for a rant post, then scoot. ]

during my birthday weekend, my HS crush, my college crush & my HP crush greeted me. yep, it’s all good.

sometimes, we do feel that we have it all. even if just for a while. even if just for a trivial thing. yep, heaven’s definitely here on earth.

====================================

[ non-geeks stop here ]

whoa. an ancient supercomputer.

and breathe.

that’s something i forgot to do today. to exhale. to let it out sometimes. to do something really worth it.

thank God for Happy Feet yesterday. i absolutely have to watch it again. 🙂

i found this grad pic thumb among my long-forgotten files. eeek. but i won’t trade my 5-minute morning prep time for anything.

ok, minute is up. this is for the lost musings i would have written down, if i weren’t commuting. or wasted. or both.

i’ve seen crap before, but never like this. trust me, never like this.

a sewer section ‘exploded’ in binondo. the stench reaches you a block away. must have been a crappy day for their starbucks & yellow cab. patrons scampered away, eh?

yep, when people see crap, they turn away but can’t wait to tell others about it.

i know why support’s such a hit. finally, we got to pull together a system wherein we know who should help who, how who should help who with what, and for how much.

uyyy. sinong jaded?

‘Sorya!’ He was screaming for Sorya. More like barking, actually. And here I was, ranting, while this 6-year old yells for grumpy jeep drivers and stands in smoke all day. damn.

i want a job that stresses me to death — but ends at 5.

demanding? :p

isn’t this the cutest egg you ever saw? 🙂

i finally finished the 3-paragraph news article I had to do for the team newsletter. it took me 4 weeks. to be fair, for the most part, i kept putting it off.

i don’t know when i came to be so terrified of writing. it was probably when i discovered it wasn’t flowing as= smoothly as it used to.

i used to be a poetry person. then i became the it girl for features. now i’m more of a news person. hmm. becoming colder, i see. how apt.

isa talaga akong bunso; hindi ko ito maipagkakaila. kahit siguro hindi ako huling pinanganak, bunso pa rin ako mag-isip.

brat. pikon. mayamot. brat.

naalala ko dati nang isang gabi, nagbabasa ako sa kwarto nang biglang pumasok ang aking ama at sinabing papatayin na ang ilaw at ang tv kasi matutulog na siya. wag na nating alalahanin na nakakatulog siya nang tanghali sa tapat ng tv sa sala araw-araw. humingi ako ng lima pang minuto para lamang matapos ang kabanata. kakasara lang ng bibig ko e narinig ko na ang ‘click’ ng switch ng ilaw.

umusok ang ulo ko. labas ng kwarto. upo sa sofa. basa nang konti. umuusok pa rin ang ulo ko.

uy, remote. hmm.

sunod na araw ay nataranta ang buong bahay kakahanap ng remote ng tv sa sala para sa tatay. ngiti lang ako.

bunso. brat. ako. bow.

Tama si Ebe Dancel. Minsan, mabilis nga talaga ang ikot ng mundo. Ang resulta, biyahilo. — Tonet

Panalo ka talaga, Tons. 🙂

[ /ti-ket/ n.: issue; problema; minsan nagiging ugat ng sakit sa puso ]

I thought I’d get swamped with tickets today, but all I have are 3 [ kunyari na lang di sila lahat pula…].

DSL, i just want you to know…. NAMISS KITA!!!! kahit pinagpalit kita sa pagma-marathon ng House buong weekend. at sa pagcro-cross stitch [ don’t ask. pag wala talagang kuryente, natutuklasan muli ang mga lost-lost hobby. buti na lang wala na yung crochet needle ko. ]

i love my job — or non-job, for that matter. for the longest time, i’ve been ranting, looking for stress that has become my vice, i realize. but no, no place for that here.

thus, it challenges me in a way that i never expected. in a world that has bombarded me with duties, routines and orders, it gave me free time. free time? there was no way i could have prepared for this.

now, i ask myself new questions — what do i want to do? if it was totally up to me, what would it be? i rediscovered music, family, friends, laughter, the outdoors — all things that used to mean the world to me. i’ve tapped other hibernating facets in me, as well.

my (non)job totally caught me off guard. i love it.
