A day with Dots and Grace

Aug 30, 2008

Me, dots and Grace decided to meet up at MOA. Nagtrip na manood ng for the first time. Nawala ni Grace yung Amber Spyglass ko na book sa loob ng theater. Did some window shop, play at Time Zone, eat and drink at Seaside and drink some frap at Starbucks. Grace 3 hits ka na sa akin!

1st Hit: Monopoly
2nd Hit: portable hard disk
3rd Hit: caramel macchiato

I wonder what will be the 4th...hahaha!

Aruba Inuman Session at Metro Walk

August 30, 2008

Another inuman session after shift. We went to Aruba in Metro Walk. Buckets of San Mig Light, Calamares, Baked Muscles(baked tahong), sisig and pizza. Balot eating for all of us. Gabor and Orsi ate balut! Im feeling sleepy so I order a Venti hazelnut cappuccino. Sana magising ako ng 8am mamaya! hahaha! I wonder kung saan kami next Friday...

US Open 2008

US Open 2008 finally started! Im disappointed that one of my favorite player is out of the game. Daniela Hantuchova lost to Anna-Lena Groenefeld at round one! Anyway Andy Roddick is back and he's much better this time. Also I get to see Ana Ivanovic in action. She's my favorite tennis star at the moment since Henin will not play.  I will be cheering for my Rogie and Ana!!! I wish there will be a showdown between Rafa and Roger. And I do hope that Roger Federer and Ana Ivanovic will be victorious in this event. Another reason to stay up till morning since I can't watch the replays in the afternoon. You can watch the US Open 2008 at Balls Channel at 12 in the midnight or 1am.

Lost in this reality

Status: Middle of Nowhere

I feel like I'm in the middle of nowhere. Don't know where to go, what to do, and my purpose. I just go with the flow, where ever the current will take me. I'm thankful that I have friends that still keep me sane, and things that makes me happy for a while, that it makes me feel that reality does not exist.

8-8-08

Aug. 8, 2008

As usual my day starts with training. This time it's on Microsoft Exchange Server followed by networking. I even got a cube and a workstation now in the office. After the training, lunch time. Then comes the ESL class. I really don't feel going to the ESL class since I hate English class ever since I was in grade school. As usual I did the retake of the preposition exam, which I don't know if I passed or failed. After the retake, comes the Spelling quiz. Gosh! How stupid I am! hahaha! Got 88% on the quiz, at least I passed that one! hahaha!

At around 7pm by cellphone keeps on ringing because my family is texting me about the Cinderella play. And we have a public speaking session in our ESL class. Hya, our trainor for the day, choose me to pick one of my colleges who will start the extemporaneous speech. I told her that I'll be the one who'll goes first since I don't like to pin point. So there my few minutes of public humiliation. I really hate speaking in public especially in front of many people. Anyway my mind is flying at that time, thinking about Cinderella. How I wish I was there together with my family.

After work, I went to Eastwood to see my friends. Im happy because I got to see them again. We ate at Heaven and Eggs and drink some beer. Then strange thing happen, upon hearing a secret, my heart palpitates! It was much faster compared to my previous palpitations and to be honest I was feeling dizzy at that time too. I tried to compose myself because Ninay might freak out (which I think she did, hahaha!). Too bad I don't have my medicines at that time. A result of information overload. Something like the system is crashing.

Took a cab, went home. Found the souvenirs that my mom bought from the Cinderella's play. Got a CD and a booklet! I was surprised that the booklet is not thick enough compared to Miss Saigon's. As far as I know the Miss Saigon's booklet(by the way I forgot what that book is called) cost about 1K. But Cindrella's is only 200 pesos, so its ok. I really like the CD. It has 16 tracks. My system is still on a rush and I stayed up until morning.

Lesson that I learned from that day: Always have your medicines at hand!

Lea Salonga in Rodgers&Hammerstein's Cinderella

8-8-08 at 8pm. CCP Complex. The day that I should be watching Cinderella, but due to conflict of schedule I haven't watched the play. Luckily my mom is considerate enough to buy me a CD and the show booklet.

The Road Not Taken

I don't know why this poem keep flashing on my mind. Maybe it has to do with my recent decisions.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
