random conversations

hmm, its 840am on a gloomy saturday, manila is threatened by Queenie, i'm all alone in the creative dept and i'm still trying to jumpstart my brains so i could start working on the job orders i've been trying so hard to ignore.
i REALLY should start working on it -- beat the deathline or its my head.
gah.
will just write for a while about some cute/funny/err "conversations" i had over the weird week.

• one: a very nice guy asked me if i prefer to date girls -- he saw my coffee dates with kitty and tabs all over my multiply site. it was a surprise for me that he thought i "like" girls better than the boys. well s, i love these girls like my sister. i still prefer the male gender. im sure they would also agree. :)

• two: another nice guy asked me if i have boyfriend. i told him "yes, didnt i tell you about it before?" he answered "just checking." hee. no changes, dear. :) you flatter me.

• three: backgorund story -- i asked m to help me with a monicker for a basketball team. we had this internal office contest, for us to come up with a monicker for them and there's a 5k prize. i thought i could use the money for christmas shopping so i had to use my arsenal to crank up my chances to bag the cash.
and since i am the designer for the newsletter feat. the said contest, i get the inside info before the rest. and i read the winning monicker. its not mine -- its the entry of 3rd highest paid person here in the office -- thats office politics for you.-- i was really pissed i had to sms m about it.

me: hi kulit. you remember the monicker i asked you to help me with? you know what won? MONEYMEN! grr!!
m: kadiri. hehehe. love you.

moneymen -- my mental picture -- money bills with feet walking around like chickens with its head cut off. or mga mukhang pera. very weird.

moving on, its a saturday and im catching the cinemanila later, its bound to improve.
and i really have to start working. heheheh! ^_^

and now what

i really dont want to rant on mondays -- beacuse i know it will wreck my week, but heck, i cant contain it much longer.
it's starting to be a gahd-awful week, i wish i could rewind it to last sat where i went on a fieldtrip with m and to yesterday where everything is just fine -- wherein i watched EXILED with 2 great men -- lucky me! hehehe -- and i ended it with ice cream.
i cant take it when some AE i know is trying real hard to be creative -- no, im not saying im the most creative person in the world and ae's are the devil's joke to us, one of my greatest friend is one -- this is just her.
im trying hard to ignore her but ignoring her is like trying to ignore a third eye that suddenly popped on your forehead, you just cant.
i hope that the week would improve.
GOD HELP ME.

what it is!!!

the Lord knows how much i was looking forward to last saturday. first, i got m this cool shirt -- a supposed to be christmas gift, but i think he deserves it, working real hard lately so i'll give it to him as a surprise gift (i sms'd him that i have a surprise for him) and secondly, i'm curious about The Prestige and of course, im looking forward to spending time with him.

after watching the movie and pizza dinner he went out for a smoke, then
he said casually "so, asan na yung surprise ko?"
i laughed. i thought he forgot about it already.
"wala na."
"wala na? bakit?"
"wala na kase ayaw mo ako bili ng ice cream"
he laughed hard.
"wala na... i have an idea what it is."
"huu! sige nga. tell me what it is..."
oppp.
blooper talaga.
i should've said "what is it"
nyek.
major blooper.
but its okay, it made m laughed so hard saying "hahahaha! mali ata yun ah!"
sira talaga yun.
but its okay. i love him and he got me a tall glass of starwberry shortcake ice cream. ^_^

moving on.

should you watch The Prestige? hell yes! 3 words for the girls: hugh. jackman. topless.
PERFECT.

next week i hope we get to go to cubao

more blood and gore

became a Frank Miller fan after seeing the gore-ish but great movie SIN CITY.
i saw this while waiting for the screening of The Prestige. i thought first that this is a movie for the PS2 game "God of War" (equally bloody!).
after seeing the trailer, i had to chalk this one for the "MUST SEE" films. wee! :)

evil grin

i was looking forward to bidding this day adieu and have my one-for-the-road with ann. 'twas a lousy day, thanks to an account executive who's an art director wannabe. gad.
im losing hope when i had an interesting conversation with tabs, (evil grin)and i saw THE perfect gift to m!
i wanted to kick myself for not thinking about it until now. wee! excited. hopefully i'd get my hands on it soon.
cross your finger all of you!

fix me

a song that grew on me. i just love it.

what's on your mind?

i should be taking a stab at the fast accumulating job orders but im in a temporary "artist block". so i guess the job orders should get used to getting stared at by me some more -- well, until i get over this block.

weekend's great - watched the banquet (will try to write a review) & spent some quality time with m -- something i really need. talked to him with a future plan, about work, particularly. kitty knows about this and she thinks i should go for it.
hmm.
yes, i think this is more like a 60-40 thing. office politics are really getting out of hand and i have no intentions of getting myself involved.
so there.
maybe i need a CHANGE of scenery.

on a lighter note, im drooling over this jeans. akk. it costs too much. i should forget about it.
heheheh.
lets hope for a better week.

I NEED A CAFFEINE FIX, badly.

breakfast?


i was in great awe when i saw her in THE PROFESSIONAL. i cant believe that was her. hee. great actress that is more than just a pretty face. i want to pull off her costume: little black dress and pearls. perfect.

sweet surprise

i was swamped with work when kitty sent me this message:

kitty: i was with ur boyfriend last night. may meeting sila ni vince.
kitty: i stole lots of shots using my phone for you.
kitty: and told him to take u out on an out of town vacation. he said pag may leaves ka na daw coz right now u cant afford it (figuratively ha) coz ur jsut new in the office.
kitty: i'll send u the shots tru mail oncem y mms is activated.
kitty: :)


hahahah! it was su-weet of her to do that. i was jealous when i heard about her trip to baguio with vince. well, she's the only one i know who can push m around. hehehe.
thanks, kitty.
congratulations to you and vince. ^_^

all hail to the new zelda!

m was Raving about this game, OKAMI, when i saw him last sat. i cant shut him up! hehehehhehe! i was skeptical until he showed it to me... and it was soo good. so good i warned him to wait till im around before he finishes the game. hehehehh! love it!

watch FLYBOYS! good movie! hee! ^_^

from me to you

maybe its because of the perfect nookie weather or maybe i cant wait to see him again. or maybe it's because of morrie (i just finished tuesdays with morrie)
so i sent him this, while waiting for the storm to calm down...

"if i had my way,
i would've asked you to marry me ages ago.
i wonder what you're answer will be...
goodnight, my love.
i miss you. i love you more."

looking forward to depart


again, m waved a dvd in my face while i was reading a chick-lit. he was frowning at the book like its something disgusting -- no, not really the book, i think its because my attention is elsewhere and not to him.
"let's just watch this, kulit." he said.
"and why would i want to watch that -- instik na naman e" suppressing a grin.
"because i want to. it's really good... and we will watch the english adaptation of this, which is THE DEPARTED"
hehehe.
such a baby.
and true enough, its so good. i just cant stop talking about it.
i can't wait for THE DEPARTED (showing october 4), a powerhouse cast and a great plot. whoo.
love it.
mark wahlberg grows on me -- i remember a friend telling me: gusto ko yung lalakeng mukhang babastusin ako sa kuarto. hehehe. -- amen. look who i ended up with. hee.

saturdays with m

the day that i always look forward to...
either just watching movies
or rummaging through your dvd's
or reading a good book.

to snuggle and be near you.
not talking, just basking in your presence.

feeling safe, warm and well-loved

i don't know what i did
to deserve you.
i'm just glad i did it.

thanks, baby.
love you, love you.
i miss you

playing hooky

i decided to give in to the pressure and just take half the day off so tabs would stop being on my case and i wont see some GR. in her sms to me. it was supposed to be a surprise but i twarted it. heee. sorry! anyway, under the angry glare of the sun, i went to ortigas to meet up with 2 of my great friends, with plans to eat foods that would give any gym instructor aneurysm and have my hair trimmed (worth every cent! hee!)
met up with tabs and wasnt surprised that elaine is nowhere to be found. she hasnt changed a bit. akk!
the day went very well (i got loots from them! thanks). i missed this two girls, who loves to diss at tabs' boss.
thanks for the great advance birthady gifts and for letting me spend a day with you.
oh yes, elaine, how's your sandals? hehehe.


here's some more of the pics.

wouldn't it be great if...

i was talking to tabs & annie about this...

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF...
- you could just turn your feelings on/off like a switch (feelings can make people do crazy things!)
- you can eat whatever good foods without gaining a pound.
- your s.o. doesnt ignore you
- people LISTEN and not just hear what you are saying
- the cab driver will just drive and go where you want to go without being a know-it-all
- your boss and you can trade jobs for a week
- i can have a day in a bath tub with lots of bubbles
- i have a lot of money to blow on clothes and friends
- i can spend a day with good friends
- people are given a good coffee and book holiday
- i learn to play poker
- you know that i miss you

ewan

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ka ganyan
Mahirap kausapin at di pa namamansin
Di mo ba alam ako'y nasasaktan
Ngunit di bale na basta't malaman mo na ...

Mahal kita, mahal kita, hindi ito bola
Ngumiti ka man lang sana ako'y nasa langit na
Mahal kita, mahal kita, hindi ito bola
Sumagot ka naman 'wag lang ... ewan ...

unreachable

went out with annie last night in pursuit of her christmas gift to a sibling. i gladly went with her because it gave me an excuse to skip gym and catch up with her. anyway, she had this Idea. i can't ellaborate since i cant control the readers of my page. its so unlike her that i started thinking if i could do the Idea myself. hahahaah. but then, i can be such a wuss.

moving on...

she told me how stressful her work is now. well, it wouldn't be work if its not stressfull, yes? i started whining that we should pursue our plan of going out of town. to have a vacation where we would kill our phones so our work will not be able to catch up and all that they will hear is -- the subscriber cannot be reached! hehehehe. oh what fun!

i am thinking of something i shouldn't even be entertaining.
i wish i could really talk to him but i cant. his short fuse gets in the way.
