My First Pic with an artista! (haha, I just have to post this, sorry)
Whenever people find out that I work in ABS-CBN, the usual question I get is: "sino nang artista ang nakita mo?". Followed up with questions like, "maputi si Kris? Sinong pinakaguwapo? Sinong maganda? Si Piolo gwapo ba talaga? Si Willie gwapo sa personal ano? Si ganto supladita ano?"
Haha, and most of the time, I really do not know what to say because even though I have been seeing artistas around the compound (and as baduy as it can be to other people), I actually enjoy seeing artistas :) ), it is always hard to 'explain' to people that the nature of my job in ABS does not really make me chummy chummy with the TV people, or give me access to these shows, blah blah.
Ha! I said a lot right? but anyway here's a picture with Roxanne, who was a friend of my officemate so she went up there and made chika chika sa entrance door ng department namin for several minutes. Wait, it's actually my second picture with an artista na pala. Hmm.. the first was with my ultimate childhood idol Donna Cruz (yeah!).
And yes, Piolo is gwapo (forgot the rumors for a split second). I'd describe him as peachy-licious. (haha, he was wearing peach when I saw him but still he looked so manly - to me, ha, hehe). Jon, the PBB British guy is GWAPO. Aga looked like a drawing when I saw him because he was so thin then so his facial features looked as if he was drawn, hehe.
Kris is not as white as I expected. And she is small (haha, konek?). And Valerie likes to shop for accessories (wearing her Wowowee show dress and slippers, takas in between segments of the noontime show, while it was Willie's turn to host). And Sharon is not as fat as she looks onscreen. [haha, i am babbling]

I am scared that I didn't get scared
Death does not scare me. And that was quite scary.
As our car was entering this flyover bridge near Ortigas (not so sure) around 7:30 last night, the wheel closest to my seat just got loose and literally went ahead of us. That was after some minutes of wiggling (which we initially thought was 'normal' except for my mother who was the most worried).
We were blessed, right. There was no car nearby. The tire did not hit any other car. My father even managed to gear toward the other side of the road, the left lane, that is, - without us not hitting the railing or jumping off the flyover (as my brother had imagined at that moment).
What was weird was that I didn't remember feeling scared. I don't actually remember feeling anything (hmm,, or was that simply my 'defense mechanism' in such uncontrollable situations). I do remember a thought though, which was in reaction to what my mother (i think) said - that is, "tangina sasabog ata 'to". Hmm.. a quite stupid thought ata? (not so sure if an explosion is likely in such a situation). Great. I'm gonna die in my element - FIRE.
But thank God or any Higher Being in control because no one was hurt. We did cause some road obstruction in the area, yes, but we did not get hurt and did not hurt anyone. Live and let live.
Hay.. Things indeed happen that make us wonder about the wonders of life,.. and of death.

Say when
When will this stop?
Just when I thought things are starting to change for the better, what happened last night proved this hypothesis wrong. Oh well, gone is another Saturday night of torture, of a slap in the face of my self-inflicted feelings of stupidity and worthlessness.
Yes, I was there. Embarrassed as I was, yes I was there. I was unwanted again I know. I must be kept. Tang-ina. Iyon lang.

He replied
Finally, I got replies from my Korean friend Dong Hee. ^-^
Heard he's currently enrolled in the military service in Korea which is about to end "29 August 2009" (haha, yes, that's how specific he is. He even gave me the date.) And he might come back.. Hmm.. I don't know how to feel about this news.
Oh well, I keep on telling myself that I should not hope too much. A lot of things could happen in between the "yes, i'll must go back to philippines" and him actually standing in front of me at the airport (hmm.. because he told me that when he gets back, i must meet him at the airport, kk)
I hope he'll come back. Grr,, i just said I won't hope, right? This waiting,. It's all happening again,

I'm Going Nuts (a nut so sensible entry)
(Haha, I just felt I had to write something..)
Just a funny observation at the office this week - Nuts Overload!
was looking at my desk the other other day and with the clutter of data table and presentation draft print-outs are a jar of peanut butter pretzels, a bag of salted and 'garlic-ked' nuts and peanut brittle - these being pasalubongs from other people in the office.
Wahaha, brain food - as if screaming at me to get more brain Teng. Hehe. You have a report to finish, Yikes.

And.. woohoo.. finally, I can access the Internet from my new room [hmm.. after almost five yrs in Africa, I have finally moved.. on (?)]. So I am blogging nonsense stuff this early morning. The Internet, plus the fact that I have cancelled lakads tonight because I fell asleep earlier this evening so so sorry to Les and/or my high school friend/s inviting for a drink somewhere in Morato. Boohoo..
There.. cancelled lakads - PLUS alternative activities which I could not do as well :(
And.. when I thought I could watch a koreanovela in crunchyroll.com, I was disappointed that it was dubbed in another Asian language (Mandarin, perhaps?). Hmm.. I still prefer Korean (there's something charming with the intonation =p).
Then I wanted to try ABS-CBNNow! (subtle plug :) ) because they gave us free trial cards when we went to their office for an orientation the other day. Perfect timing because I have not been able to watch our primetime shows since the grand Kung Fu-Lobo-Palos launching. But it was not working. Wah, is it that hassle to get anything free these days?
In short, I am bored. So I wrote.
