Wish I had an easy buttonIt sure feels like the longest winter ever.EVER.And I am sick again. I have been coughing so bad that my back hurts every time I cough. My throat feels like it's scraped raw and I swear I taste blood with every cough.Speaking of taste, I recently tried Good Burger's Crabby Patty just for the heck of it.I was expecting something a little more solid? Packed? You know,

I hate needlesI had blood work done like two weeks ago and I just knew that there was something wrong with the way the lab lady stuck the needle in my arm at a perpendicular angle. Even my arm muscles felt terribly sore a few minutes after she drew blood. This, for the record, is the biggest bruising I ever got from getting blood work:Poor phone camera quality but I swear the yellows, greens,

Valentine's came earlyI got a box of Godiva Gold Collection from Amir as a late birthday slash early Valentine's gift yesterday.I also got my period. Not that getting it ruined any plans, it's not like I'll be getting any action any time soon, if you know what I mean. It's been what? Six months man. Six months. No wonder I feel so stressed. I need release. Maybe a massage will help relieve some

Went to the doctor and the doctor said, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed."I've been sick for most of the week, sneezing and coughing. So sick in fact, that my boss ordered me to take a sick day. Pretty funny if you ask me. I think it has more to do with him not wanting to get sick than wanting to make sure I get rest. I keed.I'm lucky he's not one of those people who don't give a shit even if

Excellent! Better than mamaSometimes I get into one of these moods where I pretend that I'm hosting a cooking show. I do the dialogue, giving tips on how to marinade or how to chop ingredients correctly. I also share trivia about whatever dish I'm cooking. The only thing I don't do is put on an apron because I think they only look good when Gerd is the one wearing them. Yummeh!Tonight I felt like

Keeping it realIt's the first day of the new year and I feel like a rock star for waking up two and a half hours later than my usual 5 a.m. rise and shine. Or grumble and stumble, depending on which time of the month it is.If I were back home I would be waking up to the smell of gunpowder and last night's leftovers. The streets would be littered with burnt scraps of paper from the fireworks.

Just a minor setback in my quest for world domination One of my work benefits is a $1,500.00 reimbursable medical spending plan that I don’t really take advantage of. I don’t really get sick, except for the occasional cough and cold, and a yearly fever. The only major expense I’ve had so far was getting prescription eyeglasses that my boss insists on calling stylish glasses. He thinks I don’t

I still believe in happily ever aftersI have been in a relationship for, I don’t know, maybe six and a half years? I lost count after 60- something months. It was such a brilliant idea to count by months until I realized how hard it was to keep track of the number of months we’ve been together. We have been apart for two years, eight months and six days. He’s back home and I’m here in Jersey.

Thirty nine thousand seven hundred sixty oneTicket(s) courtesy of Melizza, the nosebleed section queen.Baseball, baby!Okay. Let me state that I am not a baseball fan. I know zilch about baseball players except maybe Joe Di Maggio because he was married to Marilyn Monroe. Oh, and Babe Ruth, because his name sounds like a candy bar (which I know isn't named after him).Anyone care to tell me why he

The best Valentine's day yetI think Valentine's is overrated.It's just a day when guys shell out a lot of cash on enormous bouquets and fancy dinners. And possibly everything else that would help them get laid by the end of the day. Guys, let me tell you something: you can get laid anytime by just making her drunk. It works almost everytime.Erm...Sorry about that. Must be the V day bitch

Malibu Bay Breeze, sexy nails and a bad ass watchI was never a party girl.I don't think I have what it takes to wear four-inch heels while gyrating my booty against a random hot guy's groin and looking at him seductively to see how much I can turn him on.No, wait.I may have done that several times during college. I'm not really sure. Hindi ko maalala. May tama na kasi ako nung mga panahong yon. I

I've been a very bad girl so go ahead, spank meI've neglected posting stuff in here for the last month and a half because:1. I was so depressed during the holidays that I let myself be sucked into the black hole of self-pity. The -ber months mean something more to me than Christmas shopping.

Blast from the pastI chanced upon a link about an email time capsule.You can choose to have an email to be sent to you in 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20 years. They have an explanation as to how they are going to do this and I just scanned through it because I don't really have time to process technical terms as my brain is still half asleep.Anyway, I just gave it a try and I just sent an email to myself.

Oh, he's supposed to be Dumbledore?! Bloody hilarious! For a moment there I thought you were serious. You are? Oh. I honestly thought that he was portraying Gandalf, what with the thundering voice and all.And when

Karen 1982I was watching reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond last night.In that episode, Deb discovered a taped break-up message that Ray has kept for 20 years. The message came from Karen, his ex-girlfriend.Now, most of us usually keep something positive about our past relationships. Like love letters, stuffed animals, ticket stubs, receipts and what others would generally classify as junk. We

From Nagoya to DetroitI'm boarding the same plane to go to Detroit Metro. I refused to sit at the waiting area because I knew that it was going to be a long flight from Nagoya to Detroit. Might as well stand while I still can. Waiting with me were a couple of Pinoys and people who had enough money to go to Japan for summer.And poor me had no one to talk to and no money to spend.

From Manila to NagoyaAll I could think of was how much I regret not having enough time to say goodbye.We slept late, around 2 am, and I was supposed to be at the airport by 4:30 am. I was tired and grumpy and I did not even want to kiss him goodnight. I guess I was too upset that I was really leaving that I took it out on him. And I always regret not being able to control my emotions.It was time.

It's never really easy...I have a total of fifteen days left before my last day here at the office. As with any change that will have a drastic effect on my life, I am suffering a plethora of emotions. Mostly because I hate not being in control and partly because I'm a pessimistic worry-wart.

I can no longer recall the details of the dream but here's what I vaguely remember about it:I was cuddling with some guy. He's not really faceless but I haven't seen anyone having that face before and in my dream, it felt like the guy was Beb though he did not even slightly resemble Beb. He was so maasikaso

Ouch!I just had my tongue pierced. Don't ask me why because I wouldn't know. I chose my tongue to be impaled at ATC for two reasons:1. It's relatively near to where I live.2. A lot of sosyals and pa-sosyals have their tattoos and piercings done there so the place must be using sterile contraptions of pain and torture. Otherwise, they can be sued by rich brats and they'd end up working in jail

Left behindSeems like everyone is getting somewhere these days. Kitch is now a trainer, Hazel is getting married and Liv is a supervisor. Me? I'm stuck here. Actually, no. I'm not stuck, I'm floating. I have always given my best. I try to be one of the best people at work. It just sucks big time when you don't get anywhere no matter how much you slave over and impress your boss. It sucks even

EnlightenedAfter all the drama that has happened, I am sooo glad that things are getting better. Last Sunday, Beb was supposed to go to our house at 6 a.m. I woke up at 4 a.m. because I have this queasy feeling in my stomach again. Something that tells me that there's no way I could stop the impending doom. A few days ago, I dreamt that Beb went to our house and told me that he had already made

Bad Friday, part threeNo calls, no messages, no contact. I gave him my word that he will not hear anything from me until Sunday and it's killing me. I love him so much! I told him that I would do anything to save our family and if that means that I have to make him choose, I'll do it. I told him that whatever his decision is, he has to stand by it. He cannot change his mind. It's time that he

Bad Friday, part twoMahadera got involved in the situation and that's what made things worse. When it was just me and Beb who are involved, we could easily resolve things. But now, it's different. After I had unleashed my anger, okay na ko but I knew I had to apologize for the way I reacted. I had to patch things up with Beb first. I looked for him and found him in the garage. I was talking to

Bad FridayMy first real blog entry and it's not about sugar and spice and everything nice. Things are not going well at all. Last Friday (how ironic, the day being called Good Friday), I left the office feeling rejuvenated because it was my off. It took me 15 minutes to get to Buendia-LRT from Ayala at 5 in the morning. Then I had to wait by the Sinangag Food House for roughly 20 minutes before

Well, well, well...Okay, okay! I did say that I'll be updating this new blog regularly. Guess what? I totally forgot about it.So here I am trying to cram everything that's happened for the past four months into one entry. Which would be totally impossible since I'm sneaking this in during my 15-minute break. That's it. Not much to tell.I'm not really in the mood to write about the latest dramas
