Oceania Aftermath ( Photo Edition) 4:03pm Music: Through The Wire - Kanye West
Arnold and Anne. Naks. Terno sa mantel, balat ng suman at sapin ng plato.
Arnold and Goldi. Kundi dahil sa kanyang digicam, walang pictures.
Entrance ng IC Farm. This would lead you from one place to the next. (Pls. wait for the pictures inside the butterfly sanctuary.)
Turtles sunbathing.
A baby croco. This was taken inside an aquarium. Much bigger and older ones in the area. Monkeys were also present here.
Ang turista. Bow.
Lasing. Yan si Ronchie. Maski na itatwa nya ito. Tamo ang 4 na canister ng San Mig. Hindi pa naumpisahan ang free beer nyan a. For the record, nakaanim siya. Nangulit hanggang sa bus. Tapos, sasabihin na hindi lasing. Hindi nga. Senglot lang. :p
In our swimwear. Sayang wala dito si Anne. Siya pa naman ang naka-two piece. Hehe.
Ops. Di ako lasing dito. Nakaisang can lang ako pero yun ay matapos kunan ang larawang ito.
I think I was trying to do the company logo. Haha!

Oceania AftermathMusic: I Believe - Blessed Union Of Souls I had a nice time over the weekend. Three years in the making as I finally decided to join our company outing. With my existence here, I thought I had to be there and experience what HR prepared for us. It was a two-day (day only) activity. But employees must choose from one of the two set dates. If one chooses to enjoy both days, he has to shoulder the fee for the next day. For me, I think one day is just enjoy. I was with Goldi and Anne the whole day. When we went inside the bus going to Island Cove in Cavite, we were merely 7 passengers inside. It was funny when we saw the other bus fully loaded. But ours has a lot of space 8 times our number. Anyway, I am still amazed by Manila Bay. Mall of Asia, Le Pavillion, Tahong Chips store were the ones that also caught my attention. The river(s) though were badly polluted. After getting off the bus when we reached the resort, a marching band welcomed us along with the employees in charge for the event. The ushers, waiters, waitresses, usherettes, too, were in full force wearing their Filipiniana coustume. We were like tourists (Actually, we were.) being welcomed by some sort of a host or something. Then came registration. We were given small brown envelopes containing food stubs, voting stubs. maps, etc. And the blue wrist band was also there for us to wear throughout the day to recognize that we are from the company. We picked our table. Rested for a few minutes. Then, we in for some snacks. There were suman, bibingka (rice cakes), iced tea, taho (bean curd with tapioca and syrup - naks!- ) and water. I thought that brining in some sagalas were a bad idea. But actually, it wasn't. It was just alright just as how town or barrio fiestas are being held in provinces. when some native games started, the three of us decided to take a tour around the place. So, we took advantage of the IC Farm tour package. (Pictures in later post.) And what is a tour without pictures? We had our Canon digicam moments courtesy of Goldi. Let's have a roll call of what's inside. There were horses, ostriches, bear cats, eagles, parrots, butterflies, birds, tigers, geese, ducks, rabbits, snakes, turtles, monkeys, deers and crocodiles. Those crocodiles freaked me out. On our way out of their haven, I was telling Anne and Goldi to look at the two crocodiles just right below the pathway that we were standing. I was suppose to frighten them. But it was the other way around. I was carrying a back pack. As I turned my back, its strap swayed. In my peripheral view, I thought that one crocodile just jumped and hit the stell fence to my left. So, I blurted a loud, "Whoa!" Haha! And we went laughing. As we were walking under the scorching heat of the summer sun, one of our teammate and friend, Ronchie, kept on texting and calling me. He decided to just go to the place himself without anybody from the company. I think when he reached the venue, we stood him for about half an hour since we were enjoying ourselves. I kept on telling him that we are about to leave the farm. But we weren't until we felt it's about time to fill up our stomachs again. That was the time he was able to find us. Now, we were four. Lunch time was also exciting. Again, Filipino food. Hence, the theme of the event. There were soup which tasted like mami, mixed veggies (I think that was pakbet), grilled tilapia, chicken (not fried) and the other meat, manggo and bagoong (shrimp paste) and leche flan. After eating, we headed to the swimming pool. They call it Oceania. It was big. Around it were chairs and tables reserved for the company. There were videoke machines, too. Before we dipped in, we had to take a shower. And take note, in the rules in using the pool, it was instructed that we have to scrub ourselves before we take a plunge. (Okay.) water. Picture. Slide. Sun. A little drizzle. Then, food again. Fish ball stalls were scattered. Lugaw and tokwa came after for our snack. Then, a can of beer. Then, pictures and swimming again. We left the place past 7pm. Good thing it was that early since Ronchie was already drunk and has just started..err.. nevermind. He was drunk. And I guess, we all know how drunk people are. Fish, Ronch. Steady lang. I arrived home at around 11pm. It was raining both in Cavite and Makati so I had a hard time getting a ride home. Wait for the pictures. I had beer but I wasn't drunk. No tongue flipping for me this time unlike the previous one. Hehe. Patience for the pictures, please. ****************** Therapeutic. Water. Friends. Food. Candid. Strangers. Acquaintances. Drizzle. Sun. Swimwear. Music. Therapeutic. I think I should relax that way once in a while.

Quoted
03:13pmMusic: Why Didn't You Call Me - Macy Grey [begin rant]I am now officially out of our very own office building[/rant] "Sometimes you have to just forget the rules, follow your heart and see where it takes you... Never apologize for saying what you feel because that's like saying sorry for being real... Never regret anything you said or did because at some point, it was what you wanted True strength is being able to hold it all together when everyone else is expecting you to fall apart." - text message from my teammate/friend, Goldi which was sent early last week To answer this text message, may I quote my college classmate/friend, Xixa. "You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, cos only those who risk can tell how far they can go." - saved in my SIM card 12.11.04 when I decided to change phones in Sept '04. See that this has been in my SIM's memory for quite some time. I've already admitted somewhere in this blog that I may be already experiencing the so-called "midlife crisis". Yes. Now I am aware. Much, much more aware that in anytime, I might just decide on some things that may save or kill me or both, whichever comes first. ****************** Saturday, May 20, I went to town to pay our electric bill. Passing through my neighbor's backyard, I overheard one of the teeners there saying, "Lea, meron akong balita... Meron akong pera... Tres..." For a youngster in her early teens this might be something not that of a great value. These days, where can three pesos bring you? Even a stick of betamax (grilled cow's or chicken's blood in squares) would cause two pesos and the remaining peso could not even buy you a plastic of samalamig (cold water with syrup and tapioca or jelly) or ice tubig (water which is almost in its freezing stage). As I was walking, I thought of how I was when I was a kid when I have some pennies in my pocket. Sure thing that I would have a single coin or two in a day. I remember that I always buy something edible and the not so edible in the sari-sari stores within the neighborhood. (Yes, I made my self suffer from walking to one store to the other no matter how far they are from each other.) But we are not rich. Just average. Both of my parents had work that time. And I think a one or five pesos a day would not hurt their budget. (School allowance, not included.) I know that it may not be necessary to buy junk food or small candies or plastic toys and stacks of cards from these stores since I had food and toys at home. But as a kid, I know that there's stage where I would want to buy things even itslife span in my cabinet would be just a few days. Then, I am ready to get something new again. Probably, three pesos in my time could buy me one Sweet 16 fruit juice and two pieces of hopia. Instant snack. Now, I know junk foods still cost a peso per single pack. There was just something about the excitement and tone of the voice of my neighbor when I heard her. Simple and small things indeed make someone's day once in awhile. ****************** After settling our electric bill, I browsed through the stalls in a warehouse located at the middle of the town. Cheap clothes, toys, mobile phone accessories, food, pirated stuff, etc may be bought there. I got three pirated cds (Ooh. I was even promoting to buy original cds/vcds/dvs. But I am on a tight budget. And original albums of international singers cost twice and sometimes thrice from our locals.) for a hundred bucks. I took the back door to go to the next warehouse and check for a bracelet that I was actually looking for, more than anything. As I was about to cross the street, a sidewalk vendor with loads of vcds in his rack called my attention with his yelling, "Suki! Suki! May bago ako... bold!" Yes. He was referring to me. Of course, I got confused why he tried to grab my attention in that manner. I gave him a confused look but also got ashamed because there were a number of people also browing through the sidewalk bargains. I just smiled and pretended I've heard nothing. Haay, people these days. (I swear I've never bought bold films after college. Hihi!) ****************** I was on the passenger seat in my fx ride earlier today. I was beside an office girl and she had this thoughts about our driver, whom I think is already in his late 60's. *mellow music on* "Tatang, inaantok po ba kayo?" Manong said, "Ha? Ok lang... Ok lang..." After a few minutes... "Manong, inaantok kayo, eh.." Manong was silent. She kept sighing and rolling her eyes. Fx was not moving anywhere from our lane. We never switched lanes, actually. And all the vehicles were already overtaking us. We were not on the center of the lane where the driver's driving either. Before dropping off a passenger in Paramount Theatre, a guy behind me commented in a soft voice, "Manong, wag kayong magmamaneho ng inaantok." Seems like the driver didn't hear it and the guy was not through. He took another hit, "Manong, matulog muna kayo. Next time ho wag kayong magmaneho ng inaantok..." The manong was silent. Then, we all got off the taxi after reaching the MRT station. What did I do thinking that I was in front and that any moment we might have an accident? I kept looking on manong particularly his eyes. And yes, was he sleepy. His eyes were getting heavy as he drove. And I was a bit pissed already not only because he drives sleezy slow but he kept on mistakingly maneuvering my left knee as if it was the kambyo (What's its English term again?) ****************** Quote me. I miss Ar-Se-Be-Se.

Boy Bawang: Comfort Food For A Bored Person
5:54pmPerhaps, I am more bored than the most bored person who's currently awake at this time in any part of this earth. Maybe, I am more bored than the polar bears or turtles or snails or even janitor fishes. I need a food for thought or a comfort food. So, I went downstairs to get a bag of Boy Bawang. A slight relief since my left hand is moving in and out of it from time to time. Plus it's salty... and garlic y (?). And I am a fan of toasted garlic more than the cornick. I wonder how my breathe would smell like in case I become so bored and lazy to get my ass off my chair to brush my teeth with Colgate Mintirinse with Calamansi before flying home. I wonder how my mrt-mate would react once I curse him/her after stepping on my foot, while pushing his/her way into the coach, if I would not brush or gargle. Deim, I am wearing slippers. And my breathe might be my only defense when somebody pushes me and steps on my precious toes. Anyway, I am not mean nor bratty. I sometimes get tired of being nice and nicer. And I am not in a good mood today. I would've said to quit to ask but I am saying it once and for all: WE (team) ARE MOVING TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. With all the things that I already love in this home, I would not want to depart elsewhere. What I am just awaiting from that new/old building is the view. I've seen Manila Bay's sunset from its window. It's serene. I hope that would take my breath away everytime I wait for it including my Boy Bawang breath. But I am not losing hope until I set foot and set up my tools in that place. I know from the start that this building would house my account no matter what new and big accounts arrive. I am trying to play with myself. Don't think anything naughty. I am bored but I am in the office so just pure wholesome action takes place. I am slowly departing from my usual cheerful self. I really need a relief from what's been boring me these days. I need that vacation. Sooooon. Yes. Now, just blog and be company with Boy Bawang.

Random Thoughts XXVI12:37pmMusic: How Do You Talk To An Angel (from my bus ride stereo last night.. damn good oldies were played.) Ang hirap din pala pag nakasalamin. Oo nga't malinaw na ang tingin ko. Kaso naisip ko din na: a.) pag punuan ang bus at may isang clumsy na pasahero ang sumakay. Minalas-malas pa'y pag wasiwas ng kamay nya ay matatamaan ang iyong mukha. Sapul ang salamin. Ganyan ang nangyari sakin. Kaya di ko mawari kung lumuwag ba ito o hindi kasi biglang sumagad sa may mata ko yung salamin ko. b.) pag umuulan, di ko alam kung ibabalik ko sa lalagyan o hahayaan ko na lang mabasa ito kasama ko. c.) pag tumatagaktak ako sa pawis, di ko din alam kung pano aalagaan yung salamin (Pwede naman akong magpunas ng pawis. Pero titanium naman ang frame ko, bleh! *yabang*) d.) pag sumasandal ako sa computer chair o bus seat, tumatama yung dulo ng salamin ko doon. At ang tunog pa ay parang nagka-crack. e.) sumasabit sa buhok ko f.) namamaga ang tenga ko (kunsensiya: Syet kang tao ka. Ang laki ng problema mo :bonk:) ****************** Last Friday, I was suppose to buy the latest issue of FHM Phils and Nivea lip balm. Being fickle, I switched plans. As I was walking along Cubao, I decided to drop by the Araneta Center area to buy a dozen Go Nuts Donuts. Yes, it has been sometime that I haven't eaten one and brought a box at home. Instead of spending P120 for the mag and P90 for the lip balm, I ended up wripped with 200 bucks. See the ten-peso difference? Hihi. ****************** A pack of monggo beans has been sitting in our grocery bag for two weeks until I asked my mom to cook it for our dinner last Saturday. In the afternoon, I went to the supermarket and bought alugbati leaves. It's a veggie. That's all I know. And it is abundant in the Visayas. Anyway, a bowl of sauted monggo in a rainy evening was relaxing for some reasons. And yes. It was best served hot. As in straight from the pan hot. ****************** These past few days, I feel like I am losing track again. What track? Whatever track normal people stride. I've been feeling lazy and overworked at the same time. I am in need of a break.. a big break.. No, not a promotion (See my succeeding posts.). But a quality time. May be all for myself or with close, close friends. Vacation, eh? I am not saying something about this one yet. Sooooooon. ****************** I am happy for my teammates who have been trying to pass through screening processes for promotion. I have done that only once 'cos I only tried applying for a promotion once. And that was when the promotion procedure was still different compared to now. Until today, I am still thinking if I am qualified shall I decide to fill up some papers and pass a sealed envelope housing my documents. And that brings me to these two things that I hate the most: trying to prove myself the nth time around and thinking if I am just enough (more or less) for the position. Measurements. Metrics. Indeed. I may say that I am pretty much contented with what I do now esp. in work. I am not thinking that everything is routinary since I have been handling this account for two years and a half. I may say that I know already how to address a certain query. But that's what I like most. Attending to queries which I may be void off once I get promoted. I like it when my conversation with a customer goes spontaneous. I think I do not stutter nor use word fillers for that. I may become speechless for a few seconds. I may get surprised. I may be caught with tongue twisters. But I accept all these as fun. Yeah, who doesn't want to leave this level? Who wants to be stuck in level 2? Who wants to be clueless in case someone violates you that would trigger you to issue insubordination? (Big question is, who are the employees labelled as level 1?) Who doesn't want a bigger pay? who doesn't want to be popular? Who also doesn't want to rub elbows with big wigs? See. The level alone that would come along with the new position could bring a bigger confidence in you. In this case, in me. For now, I just do my responsibilities the best way I know. Besides, I don't want to rid myself of things that I might miss in case I get a position higher than mine. Call me crazy. But I love my position today - career-wise. I love being here. And I am doing the most out of myself though this.

Poetry Sampler# 5NQ 5223
(05.10.06 Wed, 11:09am)
Scoop: Matapos kong bigyan ng dirty
finger ang isang bugaw na
humawak sa balikat ko,
nabaling naman ako sa isang
taong may malaking tiyan, may
sasakyan, naka-uniporme at
kilala ng lahat - ngunit hindi
iyan si Santa Klaws. Malayo pa
ang Pasko pero marami-rami na
ang humihingi ng aguinaldo.
Showbis ang Cubao.
Isang pinakatiklop na papel na ipinasa
Sabay ng pagkamay sa mamang may
May suot pa namang plaka ng kanyang
Ngalan sa unipormeng asul
Ay marahil taas noong sinasaluduhan
Ang kanyang panginoon subalit
Sa kanyang pagtalikod ay simbilis pa
Ng kanyang tapak sa silinyador
Ang pagmando ng sariling batas sa mausok
At mapulitikang bahagi ng siyudad - Cubao.
Ngiting makahulugan ang napansing isinukli ng bawat
Isa na kapwa may hawak na tiket sa kamay,
Kapwa naghahanapbuhay, kapwa din nagpapasasa
Sa kung anong lusot ang magawa
Mapadali lamang ang mga bagay na sana'y
Saklaw pa tungkulin na dapat gawin,
Na dapat ipatupad.
Papel na katumbas ay pasahe, papel na kita
Sa negosyo, papel na bagansya sa may sala,
Papel na pamasak sa bibig ng isang pamilyang uuwian
Mo.
Hindi ka na natuto. Nagpauto ka sa taong alam mong
Pasweldo mo ngunit ang gawa'y di
Parehas sa nakararami.
Kalat ang lahat at di pansin lalo na't
Ang araw ay kumabilang dako na
Ng mundo ngunit ang poste na bayad mo,
Ang mga ilaw ng sasakyang mula sa opisyal ng
Bayan mo, ang kinang ng mga ngipin
Ng alagad mong sabik sa isang papel na pinaghirapan
Mo ay nariya't
Aalalay sa mga mata mo
Upang mas maging listo.
Di ko man pansin ang alikabok sa ganitong oras,
Langhap ko pa din ito sa bilis
Ng harurot ng iyong motorsiklo
Tangay ang samu't saring klase ng papel.

Just Listen To My Blog's Music If You Find This Entry Overly DramaticMusic: Play That Funky Music - Taylor Hicks I guess all of us feels the same about measuring onself. One's capability, ability, talent, education, habit, personality, character and so on. Last Wednesday night, I had a text conversation with my cousin. Yesterday morning, I saw someone around Park Square area jumping from one fast food chain to the other to check for job openings. Too bad that my celfone was with the guard last Wednesday. Perhaps, my cousing sent me a message at daytime. But I only read her message after I claimed my phone to the guard on duty after my shift. She was already here in our building and was supposed to pass her resume. She was applying. Well, was supposed to but backed out since she has no clue whatsoever. On her text message, she said that she didn't know what to do so she decided not to continue with the application process. I am not sure if she was able to sign something from HR. I asked her that the next time she plans to drop by our office, she must text me the night before so I could meet her up on my breaktime. Then, I'll just brief her on what to do. I also asked if she really intends to go with this kind of business. I added if she wants to pursue a job connected to her degree which is Education. I told her about applying to a certain school for kids just along EDSA- Ortigas. The fast food applicant I saw yesterday looked like he came from the province or some slum area in the metro. But that's just me judging him from his looks. He has this clear folder with his resume. And he was looking at a piece of paper posted outside the glass wall of a certain fast food chain. Know what I figured about my cousin and this guy? I was just like them when I was applying for a job - my first and current one. I think even there's already that experince, nervousness is still there. Nobody knows what to expect and how things would go through. I even ask myself if I am good enogh to be hired or placed under probation. Well, some are born confident or brought by the pride they have from what school they graduated from. Just thinking about the "dreams" and the ambitions of new graduates or those people looking for jobs that they think may better their lives. Just think about that. No matter what kind of decent job we get in just to make ends meet. I don't know. I may be overly dramatic on this one. But laughing or making fun of other people's dreams or future is quite disrespectful. I just understand how difficult it it today compared to, let's say when I was in high school. In that short span of time, life has been harder eversince. And I think the most that young people who wants to work could do is to help their family first and sacrifice a little bit of their personal life. Just a little. I think I am really being over dramatic. I wish both persons well.

Clear View Of the Southern Sky
3:13pmLSS: 1,000 Things - Jason Mraz Inspirational Food: Boy Bawang Day two of me wearing glasses. Kinda unusual of course. I don't like wearing one. Though I've got a couple of sunglasses, I am not used to wearing one everyday. I feel like my legs are long. Too long that whenever I step, I would think that my soles are that far from the ground. And I end up stepping hard on the floor. When I was waiting for my bus ride last night, I tried to remove my glasses for a few seconds then I'd return it back. The view was like that of when you wake up. Blurry. Now I understand what they show in movies when an actor who's "dependent" on his glasses would somehow lose it in a fight or in the dark. Then, he would be seeing nothing at all. Mine was not that grave. It was blurred for a few seconds. But I must say that these glasses lessen the glare of headlights and make me see clearer the details of an object. I would only complain since my nose bridge hurts. Also yesterday, I was observing all those people with eyeglasses. It was a big deal to me since I would take this somewhat a "disability". It really is a hassle wearing one. Especially if I become dependent in it. I am hoping that my vision would be corrected by this. (I look older and more serious - I hate it.) ****************** My former teammate, Candy, is set to leave today for Dubai. It is only now that this fact sunk in. As from my previous posts about teammates leaving the team/office, I would not want to discuss and dwell in them anymore. Besides, I enjoyed the party that she hosted. I hope she'd be successful and happy. And may she see a clearer picture of things now she's on her own. Cheers! ****************** Here in the office, a department has a certain program wherein one has to answer a few queations to determine something. The details would not be part of this. I'll just post a couple of results below. Personality Type: ISFP Profile: People of this type tend to be kind, humble and highly empathetic; thoughtful, faithful and affectionate with those they know well; sensitive to criticism and easily hurt; quiet, soft-spoken and gentle; adaptable, responsive and curious; realistic and down to earth. The most important thing to ISFPs is feeling peaceful and harmonious with the people and places that matter most to them. Careers: [let's leave this blank] I am yet to finish the others. ****************** Some of my teammates already saw the pictures taken from Candy's party. I need to see them. Perhaps, tomorrow. And I would be posting them here. Just a foreword, I was not drunk... tipsy but not drunk. :D Hep. Hep. I've seen some of the pictures. At nakakahiya yung ibang kuha ko. Parang di ko kayang ilagay sa friendster yun, a. Haha!

So, it's Labor Day. And that means double pay since I am at work. Yes. Anyway, I haven't had enough sleep last night. I arrived home at about 2am already. And I woke up today at 5:30am. Personally, I had a great, great time last night. Meeting up was a mess due to certain miscommunications. But all's well after the nilagang baka, menudo, steammed fish, kare-kare, baked mussels, salad and drinks were served and when the videoke machine was turned on. Of course, there were those kodak moments on the side. After 8 years, last night was the second time I drunk more than one shot of tequilla. After 4 years, I finally got drunk again. (But I managed to be home safe and sound.) It was also my first time to try the combo of Red Horse and Extra Joss. And it was my first time to sing for my teammates. I know I do not have a singing voice. But hey! I got a hundred points after singing, "Minsan" by the E-heads. The first song I sang was "Landslide" where I got 98. Unbelievable, wasn't it? But even I had to believe it (I've got figures, man.). I won't tell how we reached Candy's place since it is complicated. The people present there were Goldi, Liza, Anne, Agnes, Kim, Drake, Derek, Francis, Ross, Igl and me. We also brought a cake as present. (Those who confirmed but never appeared, you owe us...uhm, coffee.) I think Candy's despedida (How should I translate this in English,er...) turned out to be a bonding session for most of us since we seldom go out with this same group nor sit for a lunch or dinner either with a group this big. At least now, we got to see how some teammates have fun... and get drunk (Actually, how they were under the influence). As for that night's showstoppers? Hmm, I have to give props to the ff: 1.) Hanggang Ngayon, If I Ain't Got You - Candy 2.) Betty Davies Eyes - Ross 3.) Luha - Igl 4.) I'll Never Get Over You, Part Of The World - Goldi 5.) Careless Whisper - Drake 6.) Mariah Carey "medley" - Drake, Derek, Francis The videoke machine was owned by Goldi and Derek. That's almost non-stop singing over there. Pictures are still in process. Ross and Goldi had their digicams last night. So, let's just wait for the proofs. And hopefully, this would get published since our proxy is not cooperating. OT: I would be claiming my eyeglasses later today. I had my eyes checked before I went to the party. I found out that I am nearsighted. Both of my lenses would have a -50 grade. The frame I picked was with a 50% off. Still, P2,895 hurt that much. PBB's New Teen Housemate<spoiler> I just came across the deviant art of PBB's illustrator. And the anime/cartoon of the replacement housemate for Aldred was already posted there. The new housemate's name is Joaquin. Sorry for the spoiler, addicts. </spoiler>
