i think i got a little hot-headed for a number of instances yesterday at work. and i didn’t have lunch. good thing i got skyflakes and cheez whiz. but still, i really need to get my meals. and my cool head.

just got home. ack. i’m hungry.

the flash

mahangin. maulan. bumabagyo. gumising ako at maraming nagtanong sa akin kung may pasok at kung papasok ako.

pumasok ako. na-intimidate ako ng hangin at nagbabadyang pagbuhos uli ng ulan kaya nag-jeep ako. kung hindi ako nag-jeep, medyo ok na training na rin sana yun. pero bumuhos nang malakas at buti nga nag-jeep ako.

pagdating sa opisina, wala nang pasok. naka-generator na lang pala. bago mag-ika-10 ng umaga, wala nang kuryente. nasira ata yung alternator. ewan. bago mamatay ang kuryente, nabigay ko kay ailene ang panlaban sa zombies at may bago silang dekorasyon sa cubicle nila ni linette.

napilitang umuwi kaming mga pumasok. inubos ko muna ang kinakain kong tinapay at iniinom na milo. nagbaon kasi ako ng tig-two na tuna hotdog sa two na hotdog bun. hindi kami makagimik kasi mga east metro people sila at taga-south si ailene.

paglalakad papuntang pasong tamo, nakayuko ako. may tumbang sign na nakalagay, slow down. may langis din sa daan. hindi ko maisipan ng kanta. maganda pero sobrang kulang pa yung eksensa.

nag-jeep uli ako at hinangin ang cap ko pagbaba. nakuha ko pa naman sa tapat ng yulo plaza dahil walang sasakyangsasagasa.

home sweet home, walang kuryente. nakaidlip at nakapananghalian kami. malakas pa rin ang hangin at ulan. pagkakain, nagpaload ako ng alltext 20 sa sexy store pero alltext 10 ang dinig, naload, at binayaran ko. ok lang.

tambay sa terrace at sa kwarto dahil mahina ang signal. nagka-kuryente na pero wala pa ring telepono at internet. resulta: tulog. pagkagising ko, binuksan ko ang modem at facebook at twitter agad sa selepono ko.

pahinga. sa kabila ng pinsala sa labas, maswerte ang ilan na ang mga araw na ito ay panahon para makapagpahinga.

sakto, bago matapos ang pagta-type ko nito, kakain na raw kami.

269 2011

day 269 this year was a rather workful work day. not bad. yeah, i didn’t get to give the anti-zombie item but well, all isn’t over.

stayed at the office second to last to sir danilo. they say the captain sinks with his ship. i say no sinking ships here.

i’m pretty stuffed right now after a heavy meal thanks to my loving mother and even more left over carbonara from my sister. too bad my father’s already asleep when i got home. will greet him in the morning. hope they’re proud to have a hardworking son. actually, i hope they do have one worth of being proud of.

tuna hotdog

nakapagpagupit na ako sa wakas.

medyo nahuli sa usapan pero ayos lang. matapos ang halos isang taon, at maraming naipong ketchup, natupad din ang best friend date.

starbucks at maraming lakad sa sm manila; bili ng halaman laban sa zombie habang naghahanap ng beanbag at polo; simba sa Espiritu Santo, tayuman; bili ng tuna hotdog at sliced cheese habang naghahanap ng polo; kenny roger’s, uwi. panalo. ka-miss.

nabigay ko na rin ang mga regalong matagal natago. pag-uwi, hindi pala tumagal ng isang minuto ang laruan. tinapon at tinawanan. panalo. ang sarap, napatawa ko si sean.

pag-uwi, naghapunan ako kasama ng aking mga magulang. hindi ko naabutan ang kapatid ko sa bahay pero nasarapan ako sa dala niyang carbonara.

lunes, laban na uli. dapat sapat na ang pahinga at pagpapalakas.

paturo kay naruto

medyo nag-backfire ang pagnood ko ng 300 para sa motivation dahil late ako nakatulog. napanood din kasi ako ng 1st 2 ep. ng bagong season ng the big bang theory. ayos. may mga aantabayanan na naman ako. pero hindi anime ngayon. big bang at himym.

ok, hindi matindi ang pagsugod na gagawin namin. o mas may panahon lang para makatapos. may oras pa para magpahinga. at magplano.

mas may feel na ako ng suporta ni sir manny. mukhang makabuluhan naman ang meeting namin nina sir manny, danilo at david sze kasama sina jonas, arianne at daryl. sa lunes, balik sa trabaho at kailangang tumungo sa tagumpay.

bukas, dapat gumising nang maaga. may mga balak gawin kasama ang tila masaya namang best.

ngayon, +1 party sana namin nina dogi, venjo, atbp. pero wala akong +1 at ako lang ang nagreply kaya postponed to next week. good luck. hindi rin ako natuloy sa shock and awe. pagod. hindi rin ako makakalakwatsa nang maayos. pag gumanda na talaga nang todo ang takbo ng trabaho, at sana ngayon papasok na linggo mangyari yun, maglalakwatsa ako nang todo. pero syempre, sa katanggap-tanggap na antas ayon sa aking pitaka.

three hundred

had an ok friday. i missed the sun when i got out of the office at 6, but come to think of it, i did go out and feel the sunlight at around 4.

quite a day, i was “forced” to have breakfast and it felt good to choose breakfast over not being late. late for 2 days straight, well, i’ve been going home very late for more than two days. more two months?

teddy, on our side, resigned and it pretty much frustrated sir jonas but hey, it can’t be helped. the impending further loss in manpower makes me feel troubled a bit, but i really have to be the guy who says things will turn out alright and make it happen. erick also finally filed his resignation. that was a pretty light-hearted story. no sad goodbyes.

work wasn’t so productive but kinda fun. lunch out at chilli pepper’s with ailene, jj, arianne, daryl, nap-nap, and cesar was, well, fun. haha. a change in setting with the guys. linette wasn’t able to join us and i kinda had the idea of buying her cake for her birthday. later, around breaktime (after breaktime, actually), daryl and i went out to buy her cake and everyone enjoyed. well, tristan wasn’t sent back from the meeting so he wasn’t able to enjoy the cake. i really owe him a lot to go in my stead.

heartwarming thing too is receiving a phonecall from my best friend that afternoon while i was going back from buying cake and before we started eating cake. i really love my best friend and hearing her happy.

before 6, we had a talk about what our problems with the project are and what we are to do about it and the meeting we’ll be having tomorrow. we really need to have fun tonight because tomorrow’s gonna be difficult and we can see it. it scares me a bit, really, but keep the faith.

got out of work at past 6pm and finally ended nyan nyan nyan… which was practically playing the whole work day. walked to greenbelt/landmark/glorietta and parted with daryl and arianne and irvin when i went to park square. objective: express deposit. status: complete. secondary objective: buy cd. status: bought wasting light by foo fighters. ah, yes, the feeling of purchasing a record.

got home and had dinner. alas, i had 3 rice meals today. i was also able to pray the rosary with my parents. exchanged some texts with my sister and greated her husband a happy birthday on twitter. quite a day.

calm before the storm? i don’t know. beyond the sound of the airconditioner, i hear now, it has started to rain. Thank you God, we have this roof over us. ah, yes, roofs. tomorrow, we plan, then we rise, from the basements, to the upper storeys, to the roofs.

slab edge

nakakapagod pero hindi stressed masyado sa trabaho kanina. nakauwi ako bago mag-cinderella at nakakwentuhan pa si mama pagdating.

faraday na bukas. sana masikatan ako ng araw pag pauwi na ako.

after 3 out

ah, yes, at home, awake after maybe 7 or 8 hours of sleep. that was a pretty good overnight overtime last night since we sent out 3 sets of drawings even though 2 were just advance copies.

i woke up at 3:30am today when i was trying to get some sleep byt that time yesterday. oh yeah. hope today will be a good day. wow, it’s wednesday already. i woke up happy last monday and i believe that helped a lot.

we’re not out of the woods yet. today, we have to out the “magic” table and i’m the one to do it. and tomorrow, final touches on a more than a year-long problem project. i can’t wait for the coming hopefully less stressful months.

light guard

ang sakit ng ulo ko kaninang hapon pagkagising ko. ang hassle pag sumasakit ang ulo ko, umiinit din. buti nabawasan at lumamig na rin.

panalo ang l4d2 party kagabi/kaninang madaling-araw kahit late ako. masayang maging masaya.

siguro isang factor sa pagsakit ng ulo ko ang mali kong sleeping habit na bukod pa sa hindi angkop ang oras. kailangang itama ang paggamit ng pc at internet.

getting out of the hole

it was a really good metaphor. i wish i had a lot more perseverance from getting out of bed to getting work done. i guess i’ll be back at getting out of he hole in a while.

tokyo tokyo overtime dinner out

i didn’t anticipate that i’d be going at the office until after 10pm on a friday and have dinner with jj, arianne, and liza after and go home after midnight. well, sir danilo is right in saying we really need to get out of the hole. it’s really a pleasure to have a supportive client, and as things are, supervisor.

too bad i missed dinner at home tonight. gotta have breakfast here at home tomorrow morning before i go to work. overtime.

then l4d2 party after. and maybe i’ll install windows 8 dev preview some other time. haha. geek mode, i downloaded the 64- and 32-bit versions via torrent last thursday night until friday night. download lasted less than a day. further geek mode, i checked the download progress while i was at work.

ah yes, it was relaxing, sleeping last night with rediscovered mp3’s—instrumentals and classical music ripped from readers’ digest cd’s—also to have the pc do something else while downloading. although it could have saved some watts if i left the pc to just download, i think listening to classical music while sleeping has its benefits. yeah, i’ll think just that.

stress and deflection

ang dami ng kailangang gawin sa opisina. ang dami. ang dami. haha. nakakalula pero kahit papaano, dahil napapaligiran ako ng mga maaasahan at umaasa sa akin, kahit sumasablay kami sa mga deadline at sa diskarte, hindi nakakawala ng pag-asa.

kauuwi ko lang, katatapos mag-hapunan. masarap ang macaroni na hinanda ni mama kahit bitin ang sauce. sa kawali na ako kumain habang nakipagkwentuhan kay mama. nagpasundo na naman ako sa kanila ni papa para mapilitan akong umuwi.

sa email, nagtawag si venjo ng l4d2 and september bidets party sa sabado. dapat dapat makadalo.

internet sharing

nakikigamit ako ngayon ng internet kina adette. ewan kung wala talaga kaming internet o may sabit lang sa mga kable sa baba. kung anuman, bukas na lang asikasuhin. swerte, salamat kina adette, nakapag-email, twitter, konting facebook, at blog ako ngayon. internet dependence. tsk tsk.

maraming hindi mabuting nangyari ngayong araw na ito. ewan ba. at ang mahirap doon, pagod ako para tapusin ang marami pang kailangang tapusin. sana makapagpahinga nang sapat para makalaban nang maganda pagkagising. hindi na dapat maulit ang nangyaring pangit simula pa lang ng umaga at hindi rin mabuting hapon. tama, dapat laging asamin ang tama.

in a vacuum, you can’t breath

work, vacuum, vacuum cleaner—very related words.

and this post seems to be short enough to be on twitter. i’m tired.

baka inaantok lang ako

hindi ko talaga alam paano sisimulan ang post na ito. at hindi ko rin maisip paano ituloy. patigil-tigil ako at tina-type ang naiisip ko.

baka lonely monday lang talaga. mahirap mag-isip. aha! baka inaantok lang ako.

sleepy cat’s still sleeping

there really is a downside to sleeping all morning—the rest of the day gets rushed. the afternoon and evening was ok today, though.

lunch was great and i had enough time to prepare and not be late for Sunday Mass at greenbelt. come 530pm, i’ve also slept (again) enough to be ready for 6pm tinola jam. i also got a preview of mahasa’s new song. later we did some progress on a new song. too bad juni wasn’t around but kc handled the drums well. and it feels good that i can contribute to the band and the creative process. they are really talented.

papa arrived to fetch me just a few moments after we left the studio. we then passed by dogi’s to pick up part 1 of ninong raul’s pasalubong. dinner and rosary upon arriving. got a weird text from best while we were praying, though, asking me where i am. weird. she hasn’t texted again, though. i guess she’s already sleeping. sure hope she’s fine and well.

an hour before the weekend ends. the best thing about tomorrow, cash card will get reloaded. a little less anxiety because of lack of cash. wow. come to think of it, it was pretty rough this past week because of that. glad i got through it without feeling down. good job.

overtulog

i don’t know but i think my use of the word is close to being excessive. not to mention that i really am having much sleep. or maybe it just seems inappropriately a lot because the timing is off.

with that, saturday happened quite fast. yeah, i woke up to an overseas phonecall from sir danilo. it partly downed me how “noob” we are at design.

the time i spend in front of the computers, i don’t think they’re spent very well. not even for entertainment. time for another attempt at change.

friday and no office tomorrow

sa wakas, isang biyernes na pagtatapos nga ng trabaho sa opisina. walang pasok bukas! wala talaga. nakapagpasa sina arianne, daryl, at jj kanina ng mga drawing. sa lunes, si cesar naman ang bibida.

pero tsaka na. sa lunes na. sa ngayon, ang tumatakbo lang sa isip ko, walang pasok bukas. magpapagupit siguro ako ng buhok bukas. at aatupagin ang mga bagay-bagay na hindi naaatupag dahil pagod o nagpapagod sa opisina.

blue day. the good kind of blue.

kaya pala maraming naka-blue, birthday nga pala ni Mama Mary. sa totoo lang, hindi mabuti ang simula ng araw ko. pagpatak pa lang ng alas-dosé ng hatinggabi, alam kong hindi na ok kasi hindi ako makatulog. malamang dahil sa kape. tapos late ako nagising at tanghali na nakapasok. at hindi ko pa nagamit ang oras na gising para sa kapaki-pakinabang na mga bagay. STAAD…

spoiled ata talaga ako kay Mama Mary. at actually, sa nanay ko rin. kanina, habang nagsisimba, naisip ko kung gaano ko nakikita sa nanay ko ang mahal na ina. kahit sasablay-sablay ako, tulad ngayong araw na wala atang mabuting napala sa opisina, “kinukunsinti” pa rin at binibigyan ng pag-asa. pareho sila.

salamat po. Happy Birthday Mama Mary.

just/already wednesday

i spent monday night in the office and fell asleep again on the sofa last night, tuesday. wow. i’m missing my room. but i really think i should do something about my room. there is restfulness but also laziness here. it isn’t good.

it’s midweek already. actually, it’s just midweek. well, both. ah, yes, it is, afterall, mid. it’s gonna be a bit peaceful at work later. hopefully. and less stressful. projection is smooth working and therefore, happy living in a week.

maybe i’ll go running tonight. but i have to go running tomorrow night.

sleepy kitty

woke up in the sofa today. 24-hour break from office work is almost done.

i guess i did have that happy sunday except for a not so good sleep on my bed in the afternoon. all the rest—hearing Mass at greenbelt chapel, tinola jam, dinner—was fun.

i think i need to have a cooler head, though. especially with my parents. yep. keep cool. cool as a cat. cool as sleepy cat at ROAA music studio.

5-day work week

tutal, pumasok ako nung lunes at medyo nasulit ko ang holiday nung martes, ayos lang naman sigurong pumasok bukas para 5-day work week. maganda ang takbo ng trabaho sa opisina para sa shangrila nitong nagdaang linggo salamat sa tulong ni danilo. para sa rodriguez, ewan. haha.

natapos ang agosto, hindi ko nagawa ang balak kong makatapos ng kanta. ngayong setyembre, isasama ko yun sa goal na matapos ang intake structure at makaluwag sa shangri-la. hmm… may kinalaman pala sa trabaho yun. di bale. kung magagawa naman yun, ibig-sabihin, mas maraming magagawa sa labas ng trabaho. ah, alam ko na. dapat, bukod sa bagong mga kanta na dapat nung nakaraang buwan, dapat matapos ko ang isa man lang sa dalawang nakatokang gundam. at yung nakatokang super happy birthday.

fast forward, sa susunod na buwan, 16.8km sa adidas kotr. at oo nga pala, dapat makabalik na ako sa training sa martes. mahigit isang buwan ang “pahinga” ko.
