ZZZzzzz... [this i need]
m so sleepy i can just doze off anywhere
i slept at dj's house and didn't go home for 2 nights to finish thesis. anyway, let's look at the brighter side... i actually had 2 days of fine dining! and my tummy almost exploded right before leaving in the morning... imagine this, with dj's constant rantings, the pc's jam-packed memory (no no, my files don't make it jam-packed..) and the printer's fluctuating mood... top everything off with mama nature's call, i felt like i was going to live in their cr forever! like there were dozens of butterflies in my stomach pushing my ebs out of the vicinity... i almost cried of nausea and nervousness.. well, the 3pm deadline sure almost killed me!
i bet my blogger-blockmates would have a similar entry as mine or maybe even bloodier (with no sleep at all... revisions revisions...) we set our minds to pass our paper at 9am as doc nards would always tell us, "sa araw na yun malamang may murphy's law!" and i did not even know what murphy's law was until now after experiencing it first hand.
fortunately we were able to finish before 2pm. we were supposed to meet our thesismate.. este client Otto, but then as i've said before, what is a complete day without being late... and so he left and we shall meet him tomorow at rockwell.. this serves as a reminder...!
our budget was so big until big bro otto helped us out into trimming it down... and we learned a lot from that.. mga secrets in doing accounts sa events... sobra! tsk tsk.. basta! we learned a lot.. un na
touched nga kami skanya cos he was the one contacting us through cellphone and asking us about our thesis and if we're okay... he even suggested we meet him last night so we can get the whole thing done by morning... grabe touched talaga kame... animo otto!

this is gonna be a great day... im an optimist (d p nmn ako nhahawa kay dj, hehehe)

manila tour
my sister and i went cruising 'round manila bay together with her friends and the experience was awesome! Although I was the youngest and no one was of the same age as me, I still enjoyed myself because aside from the fact that the conversation of the older ones was so entertaining, the feeling of being there at the heart of the bay was freedom from everything on land. We had a chat with the captain and he said that the farthest place the yacht could ever go to is Hong Kong. but because the yacht is only meant for cruising, the trip would last for 3 days and 4 nights.
We were not able to see the sunset but it was okay cause the captain said we would have not been able to view it because it was cloudy. And besides, I was looking forward to the yacht cruise more than the view of the setting sun. when we were in the middle, the view of the bay was dark from the deck but I could still see the city lights and the other boats. I took a picture of some of them, but the pix were a disgrace to the field of photography. The camera I brought wasn't for professionals so I was not able to adjust the aperture, shutter speed, etc.. it was so windy and I was drowning of air I could not concentrate on breathing normally. We drank the pepsi blue (it was terrible), the junk food and coffee crumble they bought for their friend jude's birthday (in Wishcraft I got used to calling the old people by their names and not use words for courtesy) and I was so amused by the stories they tell because they were so funny. Cecille or Polau seized the captain's seat and drove the yacht 'round and round (literally) I bet the manila bay got dizzy of it.
After the yacht we went for a decent dinner at a nearby resto (i deeply regret I forgot the name) and while the girls and boys were waiting for the food I got preoccupied watching the strange sea creatures swim around in their aquarium and the huge tiliapias open and close their mouth to see if they have a tongue. I got amazed by the restaurant’s sink because they had a banga tilted down to serve as the gripo. I wondered at first if it was just a deco but then the ‘sink’ had a soap and tissue dispenser and when my sister and I inspected it, turned out it had a switch. We washed our hands at the sink and when we were about to leave, a man in his early 40s was about to do the same but did not know how. He reached inside the banga to get water until my sister showed him the switch. I was laughing hard after that cause I imagined myself doing the same thing had my sister not discovered the secret switch to that mysterious water.
Apparently, Saturday night would not be complete without beer so the old companions decided to go to Roxas blvd. for inuman. The waiters were hobbits… I mean I’m a hobbit too but they were superhobbits or unanos. We stayed there till 4 in the morning and there was a total of 3 friendly people approaching our table. First, a mute-deaf woman asked us for money but they don’t have money anymore so told her ‘no’ in sign language. Second, another woman asked us for bread but we didn’t have any bread, only beer… ces had chips with her so she gave her that instead. The unusual thing was that when the old lady was asking for help she looked pale, but when ces was about to give her chips, she ran to her and snatched the chips away. Third, a man in his early 50s sang for us with his guitar. At first he sang the meteor garden theme ‘cant help fallin’ but they requested another song. His audience (my sister et al) sang with him. I was not pleased actually with his songs cause he struck the wrong chords. The master widower me has sensitive ears you know so if only I didn't have my dignity with me I would have shouted the right notes at him. But of course, with my ates and kuyas, if I did that, id expect a spanking.
my yacht (haha!)

The "Creatives" Department
i wasn''t able to sleep last night cause i wanted to finish the designs for our premium items pronto! i remember when i arrived home, i sank on my bed while continually muttering:
"grabe.. pagod na pagod ako... hai.. pagod ako sobra..." and in between these words id doze off an eternity of 20 seconds then i muttered again and announce to the world how stressed i was. i became completely sober after an hour.. and i worked on my 'creatives' work till my brother woke up for school.. which was about 5 in the morning.. closing time: i slept at 7am till 11 and still continued with my work which was an estimate of another 8 hours.. i was afraid ill never be able to pass them so i took a bath and went to school right away. today im one of the malas people (katbau on the other hand holds the record of being malas every single day).. i rode the jeepney with the most-hated driver in the world! if you only know how it feels when you're in a hurry and some shit that you cannot control happens... jeepneys in our area usually just pass and pick up pasaheros on their way.. but the jeep i rode was trying to break the rules... wala kasi syang pasahero so he waited at the tollgate untill finally mapuno na, which is 20 minutes!!!!! peste talaga. anyway, nakarating ako sa school, our 40-somthing-page paper was not yet printed out.. finally napass namin before 5 o'clock and doc nards, in our opinion, was not really expecting that we'd pass something today.. he was actually surprised and said somthing like... ok pala tong grupo nyo noh?... what the heck did he mean by that? well at least we have a feel of what it is to cram on a THESIS paper.. next time we'll make sure to make them early... on to our next draft!

My thesis team was supposed to meet up with sir jong, our big boss (also our thesis mentor) in sta. mesa - the place im least familiar with - at 9am. and what is a normal day without me being late. it was really my fault and the gods must punish me for this. i texted tam that it was may last piso and malapit nako and to just text me for any change of plans. so sweating the fats off me, i ran from españa to katbau's house. i asked tita gina about our little friend but they said she already left "kakaalis lang" so i ran to tammy's house and said to the guard "tammy lim po" and the guard told me na "kakaalis lang un tatlong babae dun sa kabilang gate" but i still went by tammy's house to confirm where they went. her yaya said umalis na, ewan ko kung san pumunta... and so i ran to the other gate. syempre wala na sila. and so i felt so alone and i wanted to cry. kat texted me sunod nalang ako dun but i didn't know the place, kaya nga ako sasabay sana, and i was thinking they would have taken a cab so baka direcho na sila.. may lakad pa sana ako ng 4, so to go home right away is out of the question. i just went to school, internet galore. i was reunited with my Plaridel brothers and my friendster swelled to 4 more. we ate at goldilocks harrison, i told my self id save some money but my meal was P77.00! to my blockmates, barya lang to, but to poor ol' me, this is gold melted to gas.. my 4o'clock appointment was cancelled but it's okay, i really had fun today. i made up my lost quality time with the web, and that's the only way i could pamper myself after what has been the longest day of my life.
