Crossing my fingers

It has been a very busy week, so busy that I’m so tired to surf the Net at night. Weird. But I’m also rather thankful. And no I don’t have a job yet. But I did have three job offers last week.

Staying in bumsville is really getting into my nerves. I was about to give up and just apply in a call center when I got a call from a company, so I went to the interview and all and it turned out really good. From all the applicants there were three of us who took the exam and were told to go back tomorrow for another exam and interview I guess. It was a so-so company and I was glad because we (the three of us who took the exams and were told to go back the next day obviously) were 75% sure that we were so in.

After the interview I met with my very “happy” friend Neida. We just had coffee and talked a little bit and I was telling her about the interview and how we think that we were already accepted or something.

When I got home I got a call from another company telling me to have an exam and interview the next day at the same time company # 1 had set. I applied as a writer for company 1 and as a news/sports writer for company 2, so I have to choose and I chose the latter. So to make the story short, I went to the interview and exam for company 2 and it turned out good. The people were nice, the salary was really competitive and I get to be a news writer – or sports writer. But they still have to assess my exam so I have to wait for a week. I got another call the next day, and since I already dropped company 1 and my application for company 2 is still pending, I went for the interview for company 3.

But I’d still pick company 2. When I got in their office I was really amazed, I want to work there and it was the first time I got that feeling. I just really hope I could get out of bumsville AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If ever I would fail and not get accepted, I’ll just apply in a call center and would not care.

I’ve been so freakin idealistic of getting the perfect job or a job that is related to the course I’ve finished and not applying in a call center. Jaded. Burnout. Or whatever.


Whatever things

I missed the last episode of ‘Maging Sino Ka Man’ because a friend called and told me she has a problem and I don’t have the heart to tell her that I’m watching TV since her voice is quite cold and gloomy. But it turned out that her problem was just the same thing she’s been making a big deal of since college. Grr. But I still talked to her anyway.

Currently crazy about this Korean sitcom ‘Nonstop’. I really love it. Love the cast. Love the show.

I just found out that former Magic 89.9 dj Andi 9 is a MTV VJ HUNT contestant. Cool.

Think I need a haircut.

Smoke and sweat

It’s almost like a tradition – the Demigod’s birthday that is. We always seem to do the same thing and at the same place – even though it’s not really my kind of thing since I’m more of the quiet and laidback coffee shop kind of guy. But once in a while it’s nice to just do something you usually don’t do, go somewhere you never usually go.

We again went to Malate and had our annual bar hopping – he’s a certified party guy so there you go. The crowd’s really different, but nevertheless we all had a great time dancing, drinking and doing nothing. Lol.

Earlier that day we met at TriNoma (or something), a new mall in front of SM North, killing time at Coffee bean and Tea Leaf because it’s still quite early (meeting time’s supposed to be 5pm but I went to Mega to buy a Yabang Pinoy band meet an old friend so I got to TriNoma at about 7). The Demigod bought me a double macchiato. The Libido Queen wore a mini skirt which showed off her “mala pussycat doll” legs. Lol. We got to Malate at about 11 or so, and went to three different bars. I don’t know the reason why people would go to different bars in a night.

Showing off my Yabang Pinoy Band @ Coffee bean TriNoma. Cool.

When the bars at Malate were closing, we went to Libis to finally have the Eat All You Can Breakfast at Something Fishy, something that we were planning to do for almost a year now.

Just a typical night. But I always enjoyed the Demigod’s birthday celebration. Can’t wait for next year. Lol.

Next on the birthday list: the Library Queen and the Libido Queen. Wonder where we’ll go.

Received my diploma yesterday. Four years for that paper. And I’m still a resident of bumsville.

Pics galore

Something cool

Something from Milano. The ‘rules’ states that I should tag 10 people which I will not do, I did this because I love writing about myself. Lol.


Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write an entry of their own 15 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs

1. I love taking pictures of myself. I have 250 pics in my ‘me album’ on my phone – more than half were erased. Pictures in the ‘frendz folder’ and ‘mi pamilya folder’ also has me on it, I erase it if I’m not there. Lol.

2. I’m super lazy; I don’t know anyone lazier than me. I’d think of any excuse so I could not do an errand and not clean my room. Lol.

3. I don’t eat instant noodles unless I cook it myself. I boil the noodles for exactly three minutes - depending on the instructions at the back – no more, no less.

4. I only eat three kinds of fish: salmon, tuna and bangus. I’m not really fond of seafoods – I only eat prawns noting else aside from that.

5. I ate canned sardines once because I was dared to do so; well I didn’t really eat it because I never swallowed it. Lol.

6. I use hair conditioner (not everyday though). After taking a bath I blow dry my hair for a few minutes, then stay in front of an electric fan for a minute or so then wait for it to dry. Then I’ll iron my hair and apply wax (not everyday). Couldn’t do all of this for almost a week because of my finger injury. Grrr.

7. Few things that I always carry with me whenever I go out: pen, notepad, tissue, alcohol, vicks inhaler, ventolin inhaler, earphones and a mirror.

8. I have four alarm clocks and I still find it hard waking up.

9. First two posters in my room: The Calling and Justice League.

10. Alcohol makes me talkative.

11. Vampires are cool but I find Anne Rice’s books boring.

12. Once I started to like something, I’m totally blind to its flaws.

13. I have five perfumes or cologne or whatever you call them which I used depending on the occasion or whatever: Cool Water for Men (my fave!), a Baby Bench Cologne, Diesel (Blue Soda), Axe Energy and Hugo Dark Blue.

14. My room is filled with scattered and piled useless papers I couldn’t throw away. Weird.

15. Things beside my bed: two notebooks, a pen, my 2006 planner, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks, Vince’s Life by Vince Teves, A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby, a mini basketball toy, four alarm clocks, and tissue box.

Happy Mother’s Day – to all the moms out there.

Election starts tomorrow. At long last we’re finally free from those annoying campaign TV ads and irritating campaign jingles. Yay!

Vote wisely.

One-way trip to Canada

What supposed to be a job fair trip accidentally turned to a day of laughter and long talks, of course accompanied with a great deal of money burning.

If you haven’t seen your friends for like a month or so – when you practically spent almost everyday with them in school – someone would always say either ‘pumayat ka’ or ‘tumaba ka’. The library queen indeed lost weight while the libido queen and the demigod gained a few lbs. That don’t apply to me though because I always get ‘payat ka pa rin’ – well sometimes the sarcastic comment of ‘tumataba ka ata Sho’.

The original plan for the day was a movie date with my high school buddies Neida, Janet and Loubell, then have a little chit chat in a coffee shop after. But since I had an exam that afternoon, Nedia’s going to meet with her Dad, and Loubell’s still in her class, it was cancelled.

I ended up meeting with my college friends. The Libido Queen announced that a job fair was to be held a few days ago, everybody wanted to go, so hey, why not go with them, I miss them a lot.

We then had a Latte Session. Since the Libido Queen wanted to spill all of her bitterness about love life and Canada (which is a different story), and I don’t know any other way to do it than some overpriced coffee and deserts to keep us sane. Lol. Then walk, walk, walk and walk. Lol.

A group of bum fresh grads spending their money on overpriced coffee and Japanese food. I had fun. Can’t wait for our next trip, but I doubt the Canada topic would be talked about, yet again. Lol.

My finger's getting better. I even took a picture of the wound while I was changing the bandage. And I don't think you guys want to see it though. Lol.

Message to our dear friend in Canada

My best buds: Loubell, Neida, Aivee and Milano (written on the paper. lol)

Soon to be Media people

Blood stained glass

I never liked hospitals or clinics. They have this distinct scent that whenever I get to smell it I somewhat freak out. I may be the skinniest among our family but I was the only one who was never been confined in a hospital… yet.

I have aprilophobia, the fear of medical procedures using injections. Weird for a guy I know, and I have no bad experience whatsoever with injections. I’m just so afraid of injections. I remember when I was in grade 6 and there’s this free injection thing for the students, I was at the back of the line and I cried when it was my turn.

Aside from that I’m also hemophobic. I get so damn nauseous when I see blood.

So a few nights ago, while I was washing the dishes I accidentally broke the glass cup I was holding and yeah I had a big cut on my index finger. Then I saw blood flowing from the wound… and I mean flowing and you know what happened. Lol. My father tried to put some bandage on it while I was sitting on the sofa feeling so damn sick as if I’m gonna die. Lol.

After drinking some pain killers I tried to sleep because I have a job interview at 10 the next day, but my finger still feel so sore and when I tried to change the bandage I couldn’t take it off, the blood dried and was glued to the bandage.

I went to the hospital with my sister to have it removed, it was so damn painful. And yeah I was sitting on a chair and was feeling so damn nauseous. The nurse noticed that the cut was big and she said, “Naku kailangan yatang tahiin ito.”

I freaked out.

But luckily the doctor said that it’s not necessary. But I failed to go to the interview. Sigh.

I hate it because I couldn’t do the Korean peace sign now. Lol.

By the way I’m also ophidiophobic, I can’t stand snakes – even pictures. And what’s worse is that my siblings love to watch documentaries about snakes.

An hour before my stupid act. Lol.

Couldn't do the peace sign properly. Lol.

I’m coming clean

There are just a lot of things that people wouldn’t admit liking. You know you like them but you can’t confess. Shy? I don’t think so. More like ashamed, you wouldn’t want to look uncool right?

So yeah, since this is my 100th (yay to us Milano!) I’m going to embarrass myself. Lol.

Calling out my guilty pleasures:

** Boybands. Used to be cool, but if you still like them now you must be living in the past. Lol. I used to like Blue and Boyzone. And yeah, I never really liked Backstreet Boys and N’Sync, like a few of their songs though. sings: 'You bring out the best in me like no one else can do...'

** I’m a fan of Hale and I think they’re great. Well, some guys say the band’s this and that corny whatever so I’ve been quite silent liking them, unlike Sponge Cola everyone knows I’m a big fan. I’m quite silent about Callalily as well, and I don’t like them because they’re Thomasians.

** I currently like the song ‘Magmahal Muli’ by Sam Milby and Say Alnozo. Yeah I know, laugh at me. And ‘Pon de Replay’ by Rihanna.

** I watch ‘Maging Sino Ka Man’. But hey, at least its way better than Kim-Gerald’s right? Corazon you deserve to be in distraught. But I just don’t like the soul-search thing with JB. Poor Celine, the best slut-slash-events organizer in town deserves to be happy. Ely what’s happening to you, poor Jackie. Lol.

** I watch ‘One Tree Hill’, I even have season 1-3 DVDs. I like Peyton and Lucas, finally they’re together. Lol.

** I still watch ‘Power Rangers’ and the Super Sentai series. I know I’m already 21 but its fun watching five heroes save the world from evil guys. I even have pictures of the ranger in my phone and the mp3 of their theme song as well. Not to mention a lot of videos in my computer. Lol. SPD EMERGENCY!!! DEKARANGER!!! Sings: “Hikari yo machi no tenshi tachi ni todoke”

** I’m also watching Philippines Next Top Model, as well as the American version for two weeks now. I’m rooting for Rina, partly because she’s a Thomasian. Lol.

** Aside from Manual, FHM, T3 and MetroHim, I also read Candy and Meg (from my sister) and the Yes showbiz mag (from my mom). Weird eh. And I like Meg than Candy, the latter’s too girly, I mean it just conain pictures of dress, makeup and such, well it is a girl mag. Lol.

So yeah, staining your own ego is fun. Lol.
