* I was just browsing through my blog entries and I've noticed that it has been a while since I last posted a sensible entry - "profound" like as my sister would say... =)


* I just spoke with a dear friend of mine from High School. I haven't seen him for so long, I can't remember when was the last time we saw each other... I think it was '97 Trinidad - carnival time. I miss him! Eventhough we haven't seen each other for almost like a century, I'm proud to say that we did not lose touch through the years. =) I remember I had a crush on him back in high school, I never told him that. We used to call each other every night. The good old QC days, when everybody used to burn up the phone lines! I even remember there was a time when some of our friends was asking us if we had something - when we were really just good friends. He was also always there for me whenever I have just broken up with a boyfriend. I remember this one time after my break up, we were at this bar having a night cap and he forgot his wallet and he had to call his mum! Hehe
Good old John.
I have to see him soon. It's been too long.


* Yesterday was the company outing at Enchanted Kingdom. For one day, HSBC employees were transformed into kids and enjoyed the rides in the amusement park, or at least some of them. I had work from 6am to 2pm so we went afterwards. =) I must say I did have fun yesterday - surprisingly. I thought it was kinda boring that we were going there, in fact I didn't even really plan on going. It was more like a last minute thing. But I'm glad I did. I know we were supposed to "interact" with other staff from different dept, but I basically hung out with the same IT peeps! Hehe. We rode the Space Shuttle TWICE! Pia and I screamed like hell of course and had a laugh trip right after. We also did the Kart Track (go-carts) but I was a bit disappointed in that one coz my seat had a hole and my ass was being scraped!!! I wasn't able to zoom away. We also did the Log Jam and got soaked!!! AND for the first and LAST time I rode Anchors Away!!! I swear I did not stop screaming from the beginning 'till the end of the ride!!!! I thought I was going to FAINT!!! And Kit had the nerve to take pictures of my shrieking moment!!! Hehe! It was hella fun though. Exhilirating. Too bad we didn't get to ride Rio Grande. But all in all EK wasn't so bad.
Afterwards - yes, Pia & I still had the energy to go out still! We went to have a couple of drinks at Congo in Alabang. As you can imagine, I was dead tired by the time I reached home.


* I was a bit miffed today. You see I'm doing a re-run of meteor garden *blush* and I couldn't find the CDs!!! Found out that my room mate borrowed them for the day and she took them with her to work, and of course I couldn't say anything anymore coz she had it... Grrr....


* Ok... I really can't think of a reason why I should....

: : anonymous quote... : :

If anyone needs a vacation, it's you. You've been working hard nonstop, both physically (for your daily bread) and emotionally (to help keep your loved ones on the same page). Now, while you have the chance, it's time to get away. If you have a travel partner to play hooky with, so much the better. If you don't, that shouldn't stop you from going. You can bet that you'll find one there waiting for you when you arrive.

hug from behind - you like to feel what the other
person is feeling and see things how they see
them. you tend to be serious and emotional.

: : Postmodernism : :

Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

So the Baguio trip didn't push thru. But it's ok. I went to the beach instead!!! =)

The whole week I was hyped to go to Baguio for the weekend, but come Friday, plans suddenly changed. Of course I was pissed! But I certainly was not gonna let that glitch ruin my rare weekend off from work. One thing was for sure though, I did not wish to spend the entire weekend roasting from the heat of the city. So I went to the beach instead! With my more than willing sister as my accomplice, we hastily packed our bags, & with no reservations whatsoever, woke up early the next (Saturday) morning and headed for galera. It was an adventure indeed! It was a good time to bond, though of course we still bickered & fought & quarreled with each other along the way (we are sisters you know), I had a great time. =)

Friday night before heading off for the beach, I went to watch a movie with Pia, & her friends Paul & Dal. We watched Triple X, & I gotta tell ya the movie sucks BIG XXX time!!! Waste of money. But oh well, we had a couple of beers afterwards and my weekend was set.

And now I'm back again in the urban jungle, and how I wish I was back again by the beach just lazin around doin nothing and having no worries and listening to some Bob Marley... Damn...

: : 05-05-05 : :

poof! It's the 5th day of the 5th month of the 5th year of the new millenium. Aint that cool?

Moving forward(it's a phrase that honestly just urks me at work), this week flew by so fast!
- May 1 -> Labour Day. Worked 16 hours. Not bad for OT. But was honestly bored out of my mind for doing practically nothing.

- May 2 -> Found 50 bucks on the pavement on my way to parking. Free breakfast it is then! Post Labour Day Blues. Declared by GMA as a special non-working holiday. Went grocery shopping with my sister, a necessity since we have no food at home anymore. Found this yummy body milk spa salt! Doing the graveyard shift. Since it was a holiday, this day wasn't anything different than the previous day...

- May 3 -> Went to the gym to do some pilates+yoga. It felt great to stretch those muscles and to FINALLY do something productive for the week! And hey, this nice guy even helped me out with some positions. It didn't help though coz I still couldn't balance myself using my wrist. Just injured my wrist that's all. And tried the yummy bath salts in the sauna - nice! Amazing what a simple conversation from a certain somebody could do to a certain somebody... *wink*wink* It made me go awhh... Graveyard still. Been feeling a bit off at work, but then what else is new eh.

- May 4 -> Was feeling a bit ambitious this particular morning. After my shift, I went to the gym and did Tai Chi to achieve that ZEN feeling. It was great. I had a
chat with the istructor and he's one of the most peaceful looking guy I've met. After Tai Chi, I went to join the Body Combat Session - a combination of kickboxing/tae bo etc. I told you I was feeling ambitious. I attacked the class with so much gusto I swear I even was amazed with myself. Talk about working a sweat. It felt GOOOD. And yes, now you can imagine what I'm going through... My entire body hurts like hell. Ugh! It hurts!

- May 5 -> I just realized that today was my friend's bday and I forgot to greet her! I'm horrible. Of course I went straight home to my bed after work and slept like a log. After effects of my ambitious workout. Though that workout made me feel like I've really lost weight already. Hehe. WIshful thinking I know.
I'm currently at work so gotta head off...

* * * I'm going to Baguio this weekend to attend a wedding!!! Can't wait to get there coz 1) it's been a while since I last visited Baguio 2)I'm gonna be driving with a friend And we have no clue how to get there. Adventure it is! (not my adventure though, we're using his car though)* * *

: : boohoo : :

boohoo for me! I'm on a double shift on a perfectly fine Sunday. Oh, and did I mention that tomorrow happens to be a special non-working holiday for the rest of the working populace. Double boohoo for me because I am not part of that general populace!
BOOHOO!
BOOHOO!
(heaves a HUGE SIGH...)
it's ok...
just think money Mari... hehe... double pay on a triple rate. not bad... not bad at all... and i basically have nothing to do anyway.
