So!! its been awhile since i have posted anything on this blog site.I didnt even realize its still working not until I joined odesk and they are looking for blog writers.Well, why not? Writing down your thoughts and posting it for everyone to read requires dedication and constant reinvention.The challenge is constant.You have to push yourself to think inside and outside of the box to entertain and impress your readers.I moved here in North America since 2008 and I have to adjust to different taboos and personalities.It has been quite a ride.Being uprooted out of a culture that youre born into and introducing an entirely different one frisked me to the core.I had so much fun though.I will be back tomorrow for more of my Alaskan adventure :D

back!!!

i was drunk because of my cousins who came all the way from canada to party with me :D :D :D last last week.. kuya ading is from the east coast and kuya chie from west coast... i went to ilocos norte..visited the town of my mother. all you will see are mountains, rice fields as far as your eyes can see and thousands of relatives. in almost every town i have a kin. my nephews and nieces are older than me ..even my cousins are as old as my mom hahahaha. culture shock jud ko!!! the house of my aunt is big and very comfortable..it smells like canada haha. they bought this really nice chandelier and its worth something tsk. now i found out why i love drinking..its because everyone in ilocos loves booze..it runs in the blood. for three straight days that i wandered in our province.. i was drinking with almost everyone..every night. they even invited me to attend my nephews` wedding who`s 28 btw on the 22nd this month because its a big celebration. Relatives from the states are coming home to spend the holidays here and some from other countries so its going to be a blast. im not sure if i can go though because its a freaking back breaking 10hr drive. i hate to travel in a bus that long..i can endure 4..but 10 is just too much!! but back to banna( the town of mom) i saw how vast our land is..even the mountains are ours haha. i didnt know i was rich til i saw my moms place...the rice fields..the abundance of food in the place and the people. also i went to see the place of marcos and where hes being showcased at (murag alien) in batac.. he is a cousin of my grandfather (dad of my mom) and his bestfriend too when they were young... so that makes me a granddaughter of marcos :) imagine my surprise nyahehehe. i wish i could back there and see more of ilocos..its hot but tolerable..very peaceful.. no pollution..good for senior citizens haha. anyway..i wont have to worry about rice..we have tons in our backyard. :)

i miss my cousins!! theyre the best!

hang over

whats the best remedy for hangover???

sensitive jerk

2005-11-21T13:11:00.000+08:00

i went down for lunch and was looking around for food when i saw this couple behind the kfc counter. the guy was rugged from head to toe..not really handsome but pwede na. the girl on the other hand was striking, long black hair..model thin..great bone structure on her face. what caught my attention is that, theyre completely opposite.. women these days dont go for the clean cut guys. the more roguish looking you are..the yummier! however, you will get exasperated trying to figure us out. one minute we relegate guys for a friend status and go for a complete brute the next we come crying to you that we just want a nice guy. psycho?? not quite hehe. The reason why even the sweetest of women gravitate toward the jerk at one point or another is because he exhibits certain qualities that appeal to women universally. Sane women are not ball-busters by nature and want a man who has a backbone and displays a healthy amount of testosterone. We can't help but be drawn to the jerk's confidence and the fact that he doesn't let people walk all over him or tell him what to do. So we end up not knowing what happened and we look for the the antithesis: NICE GUYS. after the holy mess, a nice guy is appealing..but not for long. after he mends her broken heart he starts watching chick flicks, shops with you, never says no and is more like a puppy. who would want another girlfriend?? i dont!! Hence the confusing conundrum. So which is it? What do women want? We want the best of both worlds. Call it a nice jerk if you will, but I prefer the sensitive bastard he he. its a thin line between being good and bad. bad ..you smoke..you get in a fight with your friends in a bar..drinks like an elephant etc. Good in a sense that.. you love your siblings..you check up on your mom once in awhile..you`d kill for your family. To make women interested in you and only you is to be sensitive while retaining your masculinity. Know when to be kind and understanding, and when to stick to your guns, so to speak. The key is to avoid both extremes of the nice guy and the jerk. Don't be at her beck and call, but be there for her when she needs you most. Don't ever let her think that she can tell you what to wear, eat, think, or say, but listen to and respect her opinion. You get the idea?? This way she knows that you love her but she cant jump down in your throat. Can you give us the best of both worlds??

splitting headache

2005-11-21T10:27:00.000+08:00

i endured this migraine since saturday.. i did not take any medication and its taking its toll already tsk tsk. anyhow, i went to the mall yesterday to window shop and watched harry pucker. the movie house was packed with kids..ranging from 10 to 25 hehehe (including moi). generally it was an OK flick.. not even close to LOTR :). but im excited to see the chronicles on narnia. can ice cream cure this misery in the head?

this is our lawyer for permitting mr.sonny villafuerte..hes like the daddy in my department. celebrated his 50+ natal day yesterday and when he got to the office nobody remembered it but me (predictable for bastards like them nyahehe). may you reach the senior citizenship status gracefully :D

animosity

2005-11-18T11:17:00.000+08:00

i was browsing thru blogspot and i noticed that most of the posts contained loathe for people and what they do in their individual lives. i dont get the point of minding other people`s business, waste of time ..energy and is absolutely nonsense. this made me morose tsk tsk. im going out to make impossible things ..possible.

early friday

2005-11-17T11:01:00.000+08:00

we are having quite a ruckus today. commonly, it happens on a friday but this thursday is different. i have three sites on my watch and they all called to give a feedback..my gad its like sunday in the market here. everyone`s anxious to get things done..im talkng to two people simultaneously its taking my breath away. this afternoon i have a schedule to survey a site and attend a kick off meeting for the ingress. a slight headache wont slow me down but for petes sake not now! cant blab too much because im in a hurry to write this.mwah guys!

refreshments

2005-11-16T11:22:00.000+08:00

lately, im addicted to the melon drink. i dont usually like refreshments from the kiosks at the mall but its got lots of ice so i opted for it rather than coke. 2 nights ago i drank wine..the whole bottle..ALONE. the spirits were so nice to me that evening, i kissed mr.slumber effortlessly. and then it happend again last night, we went to a party ..children`s party mind you.. it was dominated by adults haha... its predictable :D the food was good.. the drinks were a sure fire thirst quencher and the reason for my hang over mwehehehe. i just love talking about work and officemates with a bottle of beer darn. they`re the best kind of people that im fortunate to have at work. you can be a clown, a boss, i can even be in my barbaric mode and they dont give the slightest damn. today im in a shitty mood, im late for work because it will take you 48 yrs before you get a ride from my place not to mention waiting under the scorching sun. how unlucky of me tsk tsk so im thinking of finding a place again where the transpo is better and the flat affordable. its a painstaking task especially if its around manila..this place is the ugliest. am i complaining a great deal here?teeeheee

corporate world

2005-11-15T10:06:00.000+08:00

for the record..im a jeans shirt flip flops girl. but due to my kind of job (corporate get up and pumps) i have to look my best when dealing with assholes and greedy lessors. up to now im still not comfortable with it but i admit i kinda look good in slacks and long sleeves hehehe. i miss the flip flops, baggy shirts, razzzzzzooorr backs and low waist jeans. however, being the pasaway of the department, i make it to a point that every friday i get to wear those haha. imagine how stupefied my manager is mwahahaha. and now i wear make up, i despise it. i cant refute it because a corporate look needs its finishing touches namely paint yourself! good moaniinnggg guys

bloody mary

2005-11-14T18:12:00.000+08:00

i hate my monthly period..its gross...its itchy..smells like a fucking dead rat and i cant wear a thong!!! i dont like tampoons either its like walking with a stick between your legs ewww (ouch rather). so guys tell me..is it ok to get a depo shot and not have it for at least 3 months?? some women who has had it tells me that it helps you lose weight and makes the skin glow..true??? whadayathink?? i need your opinions..however blunt they maybe :)

weekend bonanza

2005-11-14T11:36:00.000+08:00

wondering what kind of bonanza i had this weekend? dirty clothes piled up since last month. since im broke last week til tomorrow, i sat down at the laundry section and starting scrubbing my office clothes. to my amazement i finished the task in less than 3 hours with some cuts. but im proud of myself for doing such.. growing up with a household help all my life is a luxury that i miss immensely. now, i have to cook my own food, clean my room, wash my clothes, and budget my shitty pay..its an experience that i will savor for the rest of my life. taught me things...humbled me...kicked me in shin... but im relishing the moments because it helped defined my personality and me as a person. discovered idiosyncracies..celebrated innocuousness.. had a fantastic time riding buses while standing up the whole time haha. its allll beautiful.. marvelous

my colleagues

2005-11-11T16:49:00.000+08:00

i thought i was done with the booze when i left cebu..but i was wrong..these pics were taken at the despidida party of my friend sherwin. he is in dubai already..greener pastures so to speak. the first picture is a stolen shot by mr M., the second one is gemo our ibs coordinator the male version of me in the office and sherwin, while the third pic is manny and sherwin last one is the team of network and infrastructure development. wondering why im the rose among the schmucks? the women were late!! late!! oody`s will never be the same without him.. we finished a case of san mig light ( i take strong ice, no choice :D) one time and the topic of the discussion was a WOMAN,whom he`s deeply in love with but fate is not so kind to him, she`s not available anymore.. s0rry nilaglag kita hehe. i miss you win.

f*ck

2005-11-11T13:39:00.000+08:00

i made a really long blog and it morphed to cyberspace.pucha yawa shyettt

busy..not

2005-11-10T16:25:00.000+08:00

im not hustling today..which is not usual because im a busy bee most days of the week.and i decided to go back on blogging for the reason that it kills the time. i have to wait til nighttime, when i dont have an official business, and it agitates me. i think about food (im bingeing so blah) going down to the mall and splurge on shoes (im blessed for the office is located in a central business district teeehee) or chat on the phone, long distance, what else. Basically, manila robs you off your sense of budget. I believe they hold sale bazaars every week. You dont get that privilege downsouth. Its like waiting for the elephant to give birth tsk. You think im fibbing??? No. When i came here to work i didnt feel the economic crisis, people dont dress like a drab, the malls never ran out of customers from boutiques to small kiosks. It makes you mull, are you in the same country with them? we felt the difficulty in mindanao unlike here. People party like crazy.. its a 24hr madness straight out. Im trying to get back to reality and knocking my head, beyond doubt, is not an option. I`ll swim with them and if i can`t breathe anymore, you know what im going to do already. Anyhow, toodles for now.. i still have some reading to do. I need to get my mind to come around so i can write better things here.

i miss blogging
