Between Friends

I have this thing for making my friends wait when meeting them. I mean, yes we’ll go out but it’s no job interview or something right? They wouldn’t really get mad at me if I make them wait for a bit. And they seem to be so used to it as well, and that goes to my excuses for being late too.

It’s really weird, because I really hate it when people make me wait. But than again, it’s a completely different thing when I make them wait right.

A few days ago, I had this little reunion with some college friends. Mj and I decided to meet at the train station so we could go to Glorietta together to meet up with Lee and Pete.

Sunday. 12:35 noon.

GameSho: Text mo ko pag paalis ka na.

Mjep: *@#%@! Kanina pa ako nandito. 12:30 usapan diba.

GameSho: Lol. Give me 5 minutes, magwawax lang ako ng hair (something that takes me a longer time since I have a longer hair now – which I call the adik Yael long hair look)

Mjep: (forgot what she said but it something like hurry up)

And of course, my five minutes turns up to be 15 minutes.

Also, during college for a thesis meeting, I remember making Danna and MJ wait for me for 3 hours. The looks on their faces were unforgettable.

The ‘craze’ over facebook and I was tagged by some of my friends. And for some reason, I don’t want to post this there. I don’t know but I’m not that into facebook, I don’t even know why I opened an account.

Going back. I remember making something like this before – though it was 15 random things instead of 25. But since I love writing about myself, I’ll do this one too – of course, without repeating anything from my previous list. Click here to read it.


25 random things:

1. If ever there is a Halloween costume party, I would dress up as either Harry Potter or the Phantom of the Opera.

2. I drink water, milk or orange juice in the morning, though I’m a coffee drinker. Coffee is for me to enjoy in the afternoon or evening.

3. A big fan of Super Junior and Epik High. And I mean I love them!

4. Pinoy dramas that I currently watch: “May Bukas Pa’ and ‘Tayong Dalawa’

5. I have lots of Batman stuff. (Jacket, shirts, water bottles, mugs, pillow, etc)

6. Seriously, I can eat McDonald’s Spaghetti and Chicken Nuggets everyday.

7. Not too fond of kids, except for a couple.

8. Most of my money goes to junk foods and coffee.

9. I rarely buy books.

10. I only use blue inked pens.

11. Very loyal to Magic 89.9. I just love that station. I used to listen to The Morning Zoo Crew then Goodtimes with Mo every morning when going to class. Currently, I enjoy Boys Night Out.

12. While on my way to work, I ALWAYS listen to Moonstar 88’s Migraine. Hmmm, wonder why.

13. After work, while walking from the village gate to our house, I ALWAYS listen to BoA’s Love Letter.

14. Big fan of WWE Raw brand.

15. Short or long hair, I always wear my sister or mother’s head band.

16. Monthly, I never forget to buy a copy of Men’s Health and Maual. Been thinking of subscribing. At times, I also buy Metro Him.

17. Been thinking of ordering a copy of Epik High, Jay Chou, BoA and Super Junior albums. But it’s quite expensive.

18. Sites I never forget to check when surfing: WWE’s official site, Kim Heechul’s Soompi thread, Jay Chou’s international fan forum, BoA’s official English fan site and Soompi thread, a wordpress blog of K-pop updates and LiveJournal.

19. I’m so prone to headaches.

20. Wants to buy a new Randy Orton shirt.

21. Not too fond of pets.

22. But, if given a chance, I want a turtle as a pet to be named Napoleon. Turtles seems like they need less attention and stuff unlike dogs.

23. I love Disney movies, but my top faves would be The Emperor’s New Groove and Cinderella.

24. Starting to be a fan of TNA’s The Beautiful People.

25. If something is bothering me, I would walk. Walking and thinking of nothing and enjoying an ice cream or cold drink. It just somehow magically removes my stress for some time.

Idol Mania

Once again, I’m into the Idol craze. And yes, I already have my favorites from group 1.



Danny Gokey – The guy is just super. His ‘Kiss From a Rose’ and ‘Hero’ performance were superb! Right now, he is my number one bet fir this season.




Anoop Desai – Not really a fan but when I saw his ‘Angel of Mine’ performance, I thought it was really good and that he was great.




Alexis Grace and Jackie Tohn - I think they’re ok and they are really unique.





Tatiana del Toro – not really my favorite but I’m quite hoping she’d stay cause I think she’s funny and interesting.

August Serenade

I’ll be going to back to IBM next week to collect my back pay and COE. Though I’m enjoying my extended stay in Bumsville, I really miss a lot of things.

I miss waking up 5am everyday. Catching the early shuttle ride to Makati. Entering PBCom. Lunch at the Patio with colleagues. Yosi break while I enjoy either an ice cream or burger. Surfing the Net while working. Loud music in the room while working. The long line of the shuttle after work. Makati traffic in the evening. Or sometimes, the uber jammed MRT to Ortigas. Being extra happy on Fridays since it’s my last day. Enjoying my weekend off. Half sulking when Monday comes.

And right now, I’m undecided whether to pursue a job in the media field or just look for a non-related job with a decent pay again. And to tell you the truth, I’m more inclined with the latter.

Everything seemed to have changed. Back in college, I have all the passion in the world for writing. I still have, but not to the extent of starting a career with media or writing.

There are just a lot of thing I wish I knew before college. Everything would have been different probably. But nonetheless, I’m quite satisfied with what I have now, though it’s not much.

And ok, I have decided. I’ll start job hunting again. ^^
