Happy Halloween!

Sira si azi, ang aking lappy. Am not in the mood to write. I feel guilty for not being able to update my blog these past few days. Got really, REALLY busy with work. And get-togethers with friends. 


But since Halloween is my favorite holiday, I will relish this occasion with a smile and a whole lot of lard on my face.


Happy Halloween, everyone! Let the witching hour begin!

Dear SG bloggers

Dear SG peeps/bloggers:

THREE NEW THINGS

It’s been two busy weeks since I’ve last posted anything in my blog. I didn’t really notice it until I opened my blog a few minutes ago. I’m really surprised some people still view my blog even without new posts.

It’s rainy today but I ain’t complaining. The weather only makes it better for things get written down onto paper, er, web space.  Just three important updates for today.

1.     I HAVE A NEW BOSS.

So far, she has surpassed my expectations. She is cheerful, a trait that should be innate for professionals who handle internal company events and publications. One cannot be glum when talking to co-employees about their “inputs.” Their comments or ideas might be stupid or not feasible, or even sometimes hurtful, but it doesn’t mean one has the right to immediately dismiss their thoughts. One has to learn to take it in a stride and just move along. My boss got that one right up. Plus, we came from the same university. We don’t need to guess how the other one would think, react, and respond. I have my fingers crossed that I’ll learn a thing or two from her.

2.     I BOUGHT A NOTEBOOK.

And I’m actually using it right now. Hahaha! I was supposed to buy the MSI notebook with an i5 processor (I forgot the freakin’ model) but it was too heavy for something that will be lugged around from Cavite to Makati, and back, every day. Plus, it doesn’t do much in the looks department. So when I saw the new Sony Vaio Y Series, I knew I found THE ONE. The specs are really decent, except for the annoying Windows  7 Starter OS. In any case, my IT friend can deal with it perfectly well. Hahaha! Btw, I named my new baby Aziraphale – Azi for short.

3.     I NOW HAVE A PARTNER.

YES, Virginia. I have fallen in love again and I am with high hopes that he is THE ONE. Dad, I know you’ll read this and will probably leave a comment. I want you to know that even if seas, mountains, and valleys separate us now, I am sure that we’ll have our time together. In one place. In God’s time. I love you, dad! J

I just love Katy Perry! :)

A year back

I used to be thin (see below) like a year ago. Now, my cheeks look like they're gonna pop and ooze lard anytime. Boo hoo.

Oh Sta. Mariah Carey, please help me!

Sobrang stressed ako sa work lately. Tumataba ako at nagkakafimflets sa mukha. Ayheyt it!




And this is all because of my new boss. That devil bitch incarnate.




In times like this, isa lang ang pwede mag-cheer up sa kin.




Ang All I Want for Christmas is You ni Ateng Mariah.




Pero pwede din namang ikaw. Depende sa'yo :)

Gusto ko na mag MA/MS/MBA!

I’ve been thinking lately na dapat na ako mag MA soon. As in very soon. Lakas maka-bobo sa trabaho. Walang masyadong marubdubang pag-iisip na nagaganap. Puro ka-eklatan lang at administrative chenes na slightly nakakaburaot na.

Hindi baling maghigpit ako ng sinturon at hindi uminom sa starbucks, kumain sa anek-anek na mamahaling restaurant, at mag-party almost every weekend, basta makapag-aral ako ulit.

Na-miss ko rin yung feeling ng competition at mag-top sa exams. Na-miss ko na mag-cram sa pagrereview. Na-miss ko na umiwas sa mga on-the-spot report and recitation. At higit sa lahat, na-miss ko na magkaroon ng gwapong classmate! Choz!

Ang pinag-iisipan ko ngayon ay kung saan ako kukuha ng MA/MS/MBA.


1. UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

Syempre dahil dun naman ako nag-college, why not ituloy ko na di ba? Actually, yung friend ko nung college ay enrolled na sa MBA program at papasok na this June. Syempre nanggit ako ng bonggang-bongga. Magkasing-talino lang kaya kami ni friendship. Lamang lang sya ng kaunting GPA. Hahaha! At syempre, abot-kaya ang tuition dito. Mura pa ang pagkain.

The problem is, napakalayo ng Diliman. North to South na naman ang drama ko. Kaya nga hindi ako nag-Diliman nung college. Sa Manila ako. Besides, upon seeing the MBA program syllabus, parang andaming math. Witchelles. Muntikan na kaya ako magka-singko dahil sa pesteng math na yan.

But then again, merung UP Open University at promising ang DevComm program. Pero it defeats the purpose of me “going to school” again. Gusto ko ng madalas na classroom setting. Mas natututo ako. At gusto ko din yung interaction ng class. So, witchelles sa Open University.

2. ATENEO DE MANILA UNIVERSITY

Hindi na dapat pagusapan kung bakit gusto ko mag-aral dito. Gwapo ang mga boys, may kotse, mayaman, kabog ang apelido. San ka pa? Kaso nahihiya ako magtanong ng tuition fee sa MBA program.

“What’s the approximate amount per semester for your MBA program?”

“You can’t afford it.”

“Ah, right. You have a point. Thank you.”

3. DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY

Nung gumagawa ako ng thesis nung college last year three years ago, madalas ako sa library nila to look for boys read and photocopy books. Bibo kasi yung first research topic ko kaya wala sa ancient books ng UP. Ayun tuloy, nagpalit ako ng research topic kasi sobrang limited ang studies and books regarding my topic. Anyway, bet ko ang vibe ng school, feeling ko magugustuhan ko dun.

Comprehensive ang MA/MS program list ng La Salle, like sa UP. Parang menu lang sa fast-food. One of the programs I like, actually love pala, ay ang Marketing Communications.

Sa aking pag-compute, aabot ng 25k per sem ang La Salle (trisem na ata ang tatlong nabanggit na mga schools). Mabigat ito sa bulsa pero parang kaya naman.

What do you guys think?

Live long enough to find the right one

Wala akong masusulat na matino ngayon. Too many things on my mind.

Enjoy the video na lang. Sobrang natuwa ako nung nakita ko 'to two years ago :))

First saw this video from Brian Gorrell's blog.

Happy birthday to me!

Kahit alam kong dahil kay Facebook kaya marami bumati sa kin this year, nakaka-overwhelm pa din.

Happy birthday to me! Parang baliw lang. Hahahahaha!

Wala bang birthday sex jan? Choz!

Nakakapagod!

Napapagod na ko sa trabaho ko. Gusto ko na sumigaw ng:

In place of a Dark Lord, you will have a Queen. Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the foundations of the earth!

All shall love me and despair!

Partey!

Bed Malate tonight! Yay!
