Torrente

While people are waiting on the world to change, I’m waiting on my torrent to finish downloading.

Angel Marie

Nakita kita noon.
Ang kintab ng iyong buhok na lampas sa balikat
Gusto kitang kausapin.

Nagkaroon lamang ako ng lakas ng loob
noong nadatnan kita na sumisindi
sa may kapehan sa baba ng opisina natin

lumapit ako at nakisindi kahit meron akong layter
sa utak ko, nais kong hingiin ang numero ng cell phone mo
gusto kitang iteks
o baka tawagan kung merong sobrang load

Naaalala ko pa ang gabing ito
Kada gabi na katabi kita

Kada hawak ko sa kamay mo
naibabalik sa puso ko ang nadama ko noong araw na yun

mahal kita

First Day on the Day Job

Im out. Its real no bull.

Here are the changes that will take place or have or im not sure but here they are anyway.

- no more failure to log out. haha. Or what they would call a FLILO (FLY-LOW) as it is pronounced. corporate monkey jargon bull.

- no more coffee at 12am. Finally will drink coffee at 7am like a human being.

- Time may still not be mine and I have bigger ownership now. hells yes!

- Exercise will now happen daily and if I lose sleep within the week it aint because of work. believe that.

I will get back to you on this list as changes occur. Goodbye Aegis! 5 years was good. You still owe me my watch beeeeetccccchhhh!

Living for the Weekend.

I catch myself planning for the next two weekends and its only monday of the new week.

When your employed you always have to make do with that ever depleting resource called time.

My god if I go through another interview, what I realized was if they ask me what my motivation is, I would probably answer – the weekend.

27

Took a step back and looked at the clock.

8 minutes from now I will be 27. An eventful month this month has been. Celebrating 5 years in my company, 2 years of marriage and 27 years of life. All these numbers.
They all mean a lot.

Its funny that at this point, the number that means most to me is 0. Why 0 you ask? It’s the age of my future kid. That’s right, to top all of those numbers
I mentioned previously, I found out this month that I am going to be a dad. The experience has left me catching my breath every single minute. Pure and absolute stoke. Overwhelming, exciting
Nerve racking, you name it. I have been feeling all those feelings all together since August 12.

Driving home from the doctor – broke and dumbfounded, my wife looked at me and said “hey you know that your going to be a dad now…” brought me almost to tears but it also made me smile. I couldn’t put my finger on how I felt exactly. I just know that it’s a good feeling. Fuck good, it is great. So of course we celebrated with Chocolate sundaes from Jollibee. I don’t know much about it except from what I read on the internet and what my
Friends tell me. I know that ill do my best though.

My friends have been very supportive and sometimes I feel are more stoked than me. Makes me happy.

So at 27, life is changing yet again. New concerns, new problems – all welcome. This is what we have been waiting for, the best gift a man could ever ask for. Better than my own life, a life I would live and die for.

Thank you Lord. Thank you Angel – my rock. Thank you Kytt, Tian, Bianx, Chris, Tey, Mikits. Thank you Ma and Pa.

August

Is the climax month of the year…If the year had a graphical representation for the eventfulness level vs. the months in the year, August would be a peak in that graph.

Why? I can explain in numbers (six sigma wink ;0 )

1. 1 new team mate. Hired a new team mate. All the trainers in my position have been fighting for a team mate. I got one or should I say the team added one with so much ease that it was a happy and pleasurable experience.

2. 4th year anniversary in my organization. I am becoming a dinosaur in tenure. help!

3. 1st year anniversary. This year, on this month me and my wife turn one together…It has been a great year for us. We have earned a lot of experience this year and I believe we have grown so much together. Kudos to my wife for being patient, loving and relentless in her efforts of making me a better person. I raise my glass to you my love! L’Chaim!

4. 26th Birthday. By far one of the best birthdays I have had. Lasted for a week. Started out on a saturday. Karaoke + Club night with tight nit friends. Ahemmm. Within the week, various doses of surprises coming from all corners of my life (my wife being the main accomplice in almost all of them). I was a happy recipient of 3 cakes…I am not sure yet as to what they signify I was just happy I received those happy lumps of sugar. My mom, conspired with my wife when she had her gift sent over…FLOW magazines…I was surprised. Really. I did not expect my mom to give me such a gift. It was awesome. My boss, conspired with my wife to have my pictures sent all over the office for a birthday greeting email and yes it generated a gazilion mails from all over, which again fattened my fat laiden liver…To make the week even progress further the “switchblade posse of georges” took me out to dinner with matching dessert at the dessert factory. One of the few times in my life that I was the one treated for my birthday by friends. As culmination, last night was a food booze gathering. The usual innies activity. It was great because the people who usually were not there but mattered were there last night. We morninged the night.

I would like to thank God. For giving me another wonderful year to live, Parents that tirelessly support me, Friends that are always there and the good people that surround me, and for giving me my life – my wife.

Facebook

The facebook phenomenon. I call it that because thats what it is – a phenomenon.

So like now if you are on friendster people would be – whats that? haha. Not to mock friendster, I am still on it.

Although this just goes to show that we have a strong need to communicate and keep on communicating. Same as with the statistical analysis that our country the Philippines has the highest usage of SMS.

We just need to keep on communicating…May it be Manang Inday talking to the other Manang Indays of the world outside the gate of your house. Or may it be the trisikad drivers who just keep on chatting the whole day as they wait for passengers.

Facebook has created an amazing trend wherein we keep all of our friends and people in our network updated by simply changing our status. And they expanded the service by adding all sorts of stuff such as Farmtown. I swear to god someone came up to me in the pantry of my workplace as I was gorging and stuffing my face with the infamous siomai and asked me “dude can I harvest in your farm?” I swear to God if he was not straight I would have thought he was coming on to me. Jeez Luweez.

Anyways. I need to update twitter. Don’t even get me started on twitter. haha.

Winds of Change

Its coming. It is going to be legen —- wait for it —-dary!

The Hayden Halili Landslide

Let me just say that I have not watched the video. Maybe I’m one of the few Filipino’s out there who has not seen it. To the others, I applaud you for not having watched it.

I am yet again embarrassed by our nationality. For the simple fact that this issue has ballooned so much that we have ignored a lot of more important and pressing issues. Our government has fed on this issue like tilapia fish on bread starving for a month.  It seems as if this issue drives our economy and our progress. I rarely ever snarl on my blog. I am not an angry person but this whole video scandal BS is effing irritating me.

Now it has died down. Thank you Jesus. You have truly saved us yet another time. Now we get to go back into focus. Focus on things that have true bearing and weight on our national standing.

Plus if they just dealt with it like Paris Hilton did they wouldn’t have to spend on lawyers and all that make up.

Erap for President

Should we say “Here we go again???”

Yes we should. We will once again be fooled by the same person who was already put to jail. I boycott him as early as now. I boycott you if you vote for him.
