heller! Last Jan 24 to 26 my mom went to boracay. It's the day (2 days i think) after the dreaded fire at Station 3. No worries, they stayed at a hotel in Station 1. Anyways, it's a company affair so all expense paid. What can i say?! astig! She showed me some pics from her officemate's cam and I just wanted to share it with you guys here. Oops, you heard me right. It's from her colleague's cam 'coz she has no soft copy from her own cam. I told her before to bring my cam but she doesn't like. She prefers the oldies cam 'coz she doesn't know how to use a digicam. Sabi ko pa, "ma, tuturuan kita dalin mo na yan." Pero matigas ang ulo. Ayaw talaga! May technophobia ata nanay ko! hehe..

isa ito sa mga pangarap kong puntahan d2 sa Pinas..someday mararating ko din ang boracay..=)

Good Morning! wheew.. im late. yes, im late for about an hour and 15 minutes. I woke up at about 8:15 and left home around 9:00 (and to think 9:00 is the start of work!hehe..9-6 is my office hours here). Feeling manager ba?! haha.. no. not really. I just believed on the productivity-based of work. I also don't go home early if i know i'm late and i have a lot of work to do. Flexi time. If i arrived at 10, then i should go home at 7 just to make it 8 hours. But if i have nothing to do already, i go home at 6. Actually, that rule only implies to me. Yes, to me. 'coz it's a self-declared policy. hehe.. Anyway, my colleagues have nothing against it. They do that too. But if they ask me to go OT or be back early in the morning, no prob. I obey them. I'm sometimes and somehow free when i have no new projects, no changes or revisions for other existing projects and no boss who keeps on asking me to do this and that.

Free.meaning: patumpik-tumpik lang; papetiks-petiks, pa surf-surf sa net, pa text-text, post lng sa blog(kagaya ngyon), mgbasa ng forum sa tipidpc.com, yosi break, at kung ano-ano pang pede kong gawin dito sa aking upuan sa harap ng PC.

Anyways, highways, i'll be posting another lyrics again by New Found Glory. Ayan mala DJ na nman ako. :p ina sang this song kninang umaga sa fone. She called around 5am and we ended our conversation around 6am. Madaming pera pang overseas call! hehe.. thanks for calling ha.ha.. *that's actually the reason why im late. Natulog pa kc ako ulet. Sana di nlng ako natulog..; )

What the F**K?!! Just this morning i went to metrobank 'coz i have to withdraw. Note: yesterday is pay-day. And so i checked the balance first, after checking i was shocked. My mind can't just absorb the figure i've been seeing. It's not the usual figure i got used to.. Damn it.. biglang kumunot noo ko.. at uminit ulo ko...(para bang sa mga cartoons..and i can still joke huh..mejo mainit pa ulo ko.).. and to tell u honestly, i cant seem to control my emotions. So nagmumura ko sa car. Note again: w/ my parents. But it's ok 'coz they understand. I've been complaining about my salary eversince 'coz i have no OT pay,holiday pay and the likes.. But right now it's kinda different coz it's a sudden change of figure! buti kung konting change lang..e sobrang nagulat ako sa binaba e!! Wala na ngang OT pays tapos nabawasan pa!! grrr.. i remember, it's saturday right now. AND I'M HERE AT THE OFFICE. My project manager texted me at about 1am in the morning because i have to fix some bugs of the site and i have to finish it by 10am 'coz they will be testing it at that time. (Right now the UAT "User Acceptance Test" is on going..) And what's new?! i got no pay today. Just an allowance for food and transpo which only cost P90. yeah..ang taas noh?! mas malaki pa allowance ng mga brothers ko sa school e! tsk..tsk.. I texted our HR a while ago b'coz of my salary concern. This is what she replied: "Mas maliit take home mo bec of tax.Last yr kse it was computed based on d month u joined aonl". Ayan. that answered my question on why is this f**king atm of mine has less dough.. L I N T * K!! ang yayaman na ng mga taga BIR !! grabe na to! i am now sharing the same sentiments with my mom.. She hates the tax. u know y? e sino ba nmn hindi maiinis, e yung tax nya sweldo ko! anak ng tokwa tlga..31% is my mom's tax. i don't know how many percent is mine. I just have to talk to our HR again. But come to think of it, napaka obvious ng corruption tlga dito. e san ba napupunta yang mga tax nyan? ok lng sana kung may nkikita tayong pinupuntahan e..kaso wala. malaking WALA!!! ay MERON pla, sa bulsa ng mga namamahala. dammn it..

Recently i've been posting lyrics. (Yep, i love music..music with nice lyrics.) It's not meant to flood my blog. It's just that when i can't express what i really feel, a song is there to help me out.*defines my emotions.. and so i'll be posting another one here by Babyface(one of my fav'rite artist).

When this world
The real life world you're living in
Just gets too much for you to take
When you find
Too many troubles on your mind
And feel just like there's no escape
And it seems your heart's forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul
There's a place you can go
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free
Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining
Everything you need is just a dream away
Remember when
A dream could take you anywhere
Just a wish anything could be
When the farthest star was one more star you could reach
Take a look in your heart
'Cause that's where dreams are where it starts
Anything is real if you just believe
All it takes is faith to make your dreams come true
And somewhere in this world there'll be somebody
To share your dreams with you..

All day staring at the ceiling making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me that I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on I'm feeling like I'm headed for a Breakdown I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see a different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me and how I used to be me
Talking to myself in public dodging glances on the train
I know I know they've all been talking 'bout me I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking somehow I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me and how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see a different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be,
yeah Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there..I'll be there.
So, if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself my light is found.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeahhh
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there...I'll be there.
Would you choose water over wine....hold the wheel and drive?
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there..I'll be there.

Me & Ina

wla lang.. ;) mingaw kaayu ko nimo!!

Maybe you soon forget about all or maybe you'll miss it like I do
But one thing's for sure I'm all knocked out I spend too much time thinking of you
And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know you're the dangerous kind
And your smile is tattooed on my mind
'Cause I can't get you out of my dreams
I don't wanna write, I don't wanna call
I would not know what to say
It should be you
That's how I want it to be
Tell me you feel the same way
And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know you're the dangerous kind
And your smile is tattooed on my mind
And I can't get you out of my dreams,
Oh yesterday I was feeling safe
All I do today is trying to be brave
And no melody can seem to soothe my mind
Now I curse you for being So sweet and so kind
And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know you're the dangerous kind
And your face is tattooed on my mind
'Cause I can't get you out of my dreams
Yes I know you're tattooed On my mind you're tattooed...

Here are a bunch of pictures to describe how i celebrated the new year's eve. Happy New Year to Everyone!!




Yep, I was the one who cooked the bbqs. Smelling smoke already before 12 midnight huh.. I think I was also the one who cooked the bbq last 2003..hmm.. It's ok 'coz i enjoyed cooking. ;)












So here's my firecracker addict brother who i think spent all his xmas money for the 'sawa/sinturon ni hudas' firecrackers. He loves to hurt his eardrums. He told me that by next year he'll be buying a 3k or 5k rounds of this kind of firecrakers. Tsk..tskk Such an Addict!






After lighting all the firecrackers, "pagpapacute" naman! hahaha.. Sayang! my other cousins and pamangkins were not here to celebrate the new year..









Tama na Yan INUMAN NA!!! My bro and I were the ones who sponsored these drinks.hehe..




We finished drinking at almost 4am.. I had a nice sleep after that.. =)
