break
lately, it felt like i have been holding my breath for soo long, seems that i am starting to waste away. i wanted to just pack my bags and leave manila. its just that i am overwhelmed with whats happening. too much shit going on.
oh, this is not about you, hija. really. dont ever think that you are better than me. hmm... should i say your power expires when the sun comes down and esp on sundays and when i just decided to be "sick". good thing i, despite all this, i have people who love me like m and c. yes, i have her you dont. you can always pretend that you are better than me just because of the rank, but, no matter how hard you pretend, you know that you owe me. if not for me, you will still be broke and wallowing on your mistakes. but i never used the rank card like you did. no. even if you treated me like trash, you worthless primitive, I acted civilized and professional towards you. because if i didn't, oh, you'd be well on your way home, looking for a sorry excuse of a job and i will be laughing. but i'm nothing like you. i never believed in putting career before friendship. not like you. "NOT. LIKE YOU. ---and Thank God!
i used to consider you as a friend, but after how you treated me, you are now just a big joke to me.
erhm, i Need to get out. badly.
pardon the anger. =)

• a friend is getting married (are you really sure??? you can still back out, you know. hahaha!)

memories
from lette:
here's the copy:
If you read this journal, even if I don't speak to you often,
post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want.
It can be good or bad, just so long as it happened.
Then post this on your journal too!
Be surprised (or not) about what people remember about you. :)
rant fro the nth time
i will consider this a closure to the issue since talking to you will not help me AT ALL, this is the last time i will talk about you.
i have to admit it surprised me a bit when i learned that you became more friendly i guess you don't know what loyalty is. but what can i say? SHIT happens. i guess you deserve one another.
i never wanted to regret doing something to help people, but i guess, i shouldn't just throw lifelines just like that and i learned that there could only be a handful of people that i can call REAL friends. i will have to charge what happened to experience.
no, i wont be vengeful nor i will make you realize that you owe me anything, when i helped you i am sincere and i am glad to see where you are today.
i believe that what goes around come around.
and soon, i believe things will change. BIG TIME. just wait for it.
self indused heart attack

his royal hotness
i wouldn't mind meeting her in the end
where's goldie?
when i saw this i Know that i seriously need another job that pays a whole lot! heheheh!
i WANT.

FROM MY FACEBOOK: ^_^
YOUR EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR AFTER YOU GET DRUNK !
ARIES : Impulsive Aries people like to party and sometimes don't know when to call it a night. Their competitive streak makes them prone to closing-time shot contests. They're sloppy, fun drunks, and they get mighty flirty after a couple tipples. Getting Aries people drunk is a good way to get what you want out of them, should other methods fail. Aries can become bellicose when blotto, but they will assume that whatever happened should be forgiven (if not forgotten) by sunrise. They can be counted on to do the same for you -- so long as you haven't gone and done anything really horrible to them last night, you sneaky Gemini.
TAURUS: Taurus prefers to drink at a leisurely pace, aiming for a mellow glow rather than a full-on zonk. Since a truly intoxicated Taurus is a one-person stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china-shop inebriate who spills red wine on white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers, the preference for wining and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is quite fortunate for the rest of us. This is not to say that the Bull is by any means a teetotaller -- god, no. A squiffy Taurus will get, gregarious (full of loud mouth soup, some would say) and is extremely amusing to drag to a karaoke bar when intoxicated.
GEMINI: Geminis can drink without changing their behaviour much-- they're so naturally chatty and short-attention-spanned that it's just hard to tell sometimes. They can amaze you by conversing with finesse and allusion, then doing something to belie an extremely advanced state of intoxication, like puking in your shoe. Gemini's possess the magic ability to flirt successfully (and uninfuriatingly, which is very tricky) with several people at once. They like to order different cocktails every round -- repetition is boring -- and may create a theme (like yellow drinks: beer, sauvignon blanc and limoncello) for their own amusement.
CANCER: Cancer is a comfort drinker -- and an extra wine with dinner or an after-work beer or six can be extra comforting, can't it, Cancer darling? Like fellow water signs Scorpio and Pisces, Crabs must guard against lushery. Cancers are brilliant at ferreting out secret parties and insinuating themselves on VIP lists -- and, in true Hollywood style, Cancers are never really drunk; instead, they get "tired and emotional" (read: weepy when lubricated). But there's nothing better than swapping stories (and spit) over a few bottles of inky red wine with your favorite Cancer. Even your second-favorite Cancer will do. The sign also rules the flavor vanilla, and you'd be adored if you served up a vanilla vodka and soda.
LEO: Leo likes to drink and dance -- they're often fabulous dancers, and usually pretty good drinkers as well, losing their commanding dignity and turning kittenish. Of course, they're quite aware they're darling -Leos will be Leos, after all. They generally know their limit, probably because they loathe losing self-control. When they get over-refreshed, expect flirting to ensue -- and perhaps not with the one what rung them. But Leo's not the type to break rules even when drunk, so just try to ignore it (try harder, Cancer) and expects a sheepish (and hung over) Lion to make it up to you the next day.
VIRGO: Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure --but it could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty. They rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when they do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low-level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the sub genius IQ!
LIBRA: "I'm jusht a social drinker," slurs Libra, "it's jusht that I'm so damn social?" Libra loves nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone. Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Frienddevice set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (they are little instigators when bored), the Scales can really work a room. Charming as they are, Libras are notoriously lacking in self-control, however, which can get them into all sorts of trouble --including wearing their wobbly boots waaaay too early in the evening, flirting with every man/woman in the room or even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops!
SCORPIO: Don't ever tell Scorpios they've had enough, for they'll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till they're hog-whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that. Most of them see the sauce as something to savor in itself, and not as a personality-altering tool -- though if depressed, self-loathing Scorps seek total obliteration. But generally, they're fascinating drinking pals, brilliant conversationalists and dizzying flirts. They also remember everything -- especially what you did when you were blitzed. Only drink with a Scorpio who likes you.
SAGITTARIUS: In vino veritas -- and, for Sagittarius, in booze blurtiness: When buttered, they'll spill all your secrets and many of their own. Tactlessness aside, Sagittarius is just plain fun to drink with. This is a sign of serious partying (what else would you expect from the sign of Sinatra, Keith Richards, the Bush twins and Anna Nicole Smith?). They're the people who chat up everyone in the room, then persuade the entire crowd to travel somewhere else -- like a nightclub, or a playground, or the beach. Good-natured hijinks are sure to ensue (including a high possibility of loopy groping; spontaneous Sag is a brilliant booty call).
CAPRICORN: Capricorn is usually described as practical, steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty -- no wonder they get left off the astrological cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of David Bowie and Annie Lennox, not to mention Elvis. Capricorn is the true rock star: independent, powerful and seriously charismatic, not too eager to please. And if they make money being themselves, who're you to quibble? But just like most rock stars, they're either totally on or totally off, and they generally need a little social lubricant to loosen up and enjoy the after party, especially if they can hookup with a cute groupie.
AQUARIUS: Aquarius and drinking don't go together that well(except for water, that is). They have an innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone. If they're throwing a party or organizing an outing, however, they're too preoccupied with their duties to get combative -- and they make perfectly charming drunks in that case. Fortunately, they're usually capital drink-nursers. They also make the best designated drivers (if you can get them before they start raising their wrist):Aquarius is fascinated by drunk people and capable of holding interesting conversations with soused strangers while sober.
PISCES: If you're a Pisces, you've probably already heard that you share a sign and an addictive personality --with Liz Taylor, Lisa Minnelli and Kurt Cobain. Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there feeling that only hooch can give, but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who needs an expensive date like that? On the other hand, they're fabulously enchanting partners, whether in conversation or in crime. With the right Pisces, you can start out sharing a pitcher of margaritas and windup in bed together for days. The phrase "addictive personality" can be read two ways, you know.

from the dream king
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
- Neil Gaiman
so what has been happening:
-- im frustrated that i didnt see Gaiman last sunday -- blame my fear of getting swept away if ever the storm would suddenly drop by manila and i also had to attend an event that i just couldnt say no to, else my head will be served on a platter. hehehe! i love you, annie. it was great seeing you again.
-- im gald i was able to change my blog template. i still have to tweek at it but its all good at least im getting somewhere.
-- i havent started my christmas shopping. yet. i have no idea what to get people
-- i was thinking... sometimes people you think you know surprises you by pulling a stunt that you think they are not capable of. like using their position or power as leverage. tsk. sad that they change just because of some little power that was given to them TEMPORARILY.
-- "just because you rank higher than me, doesnt make you better than me." - AMEN.
-- i miss someone who works in san juan and lives in kamias.
-- i want some good coffee.
-- christmas came early. absolute sandman vols. 1 & 2 is mine. hahahaah! *pictures to follow* will open it on tabs' bday.
-- looking forward to saturday...

| You Are Likely a Second Born |
At your darkest moments, you feel inadequate. At work and school. you do best when you're evaluating. When you love someone, you offer them constructive criticism. In friendship, you tend to give a lot of feedback - positive and negative. Your ideal careers are: accounting, banking, art, carpentry, decorating, teaching, and writing novels. You will leave your mark on the world with art and creative projects. |

just because the 2 day vacation is hours away and my boss is nowhere to be seen i decided to work on this. hahaha.
my desktop usually gives the viewer what movie just i saw or a book im lusting on or what i feel at the moment. ages ago, i used to plaster a current crush's face (erhm, orlando bloom) across my desktop. hahhaa.
i try to make my top neat. but when im get swamped with work, it gets crazy. O_o
Rules:
1.Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.
2.Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of Icons, things like that.
3.Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.

Ang Lee's latest directorial outing, Lust, Caution, is an intricate WWII-based story following one girl's adventure into the risky world of espionage and assassination. Her and a group of school friends discover a man in the city of Hong Kong who is assisting the Japanese in infiltrating their country and government. Therefore in an act of nationalism they attempt to use their acting skills to infiltrate his "crew" themselves and assassinate him. Not according to plan, Wong Chia Chi (Wei Tang) becomes the sexual interest of their target, named Mr. Yee (Tony Leung), and suddenly becomes the essential keystone of their entire operation. When their initial attempt fails, they regroup three years later in Shanghai and try to finally finish their deadly mission.
oo nga naman
why would i keep on obliterating myself to those who hate me if i could make their lives miserable just by existing?
