Project 365 - Heart's Month

Day 38: February 07, 2012, Tuesday

FINALLY!

after 15 years of being a rusher, i have finally come face to face with my accidental friends, chico and delle. i was starstruck! sobrang kaba while i was on the way to the station. delle was even looking for me, nagtweet kase ako sa kanya na bibisita kame that day to have our books signed. the vacation leave and the breakfast treat was all worth it. i love them to bits talaga. ♥

Day 45: February 14, 2012, Tuesday

happy heart's day

eto ang itsura ng office namin on a valentine's day. masaya sana kung may jowang kasama ang mga balloon hearts na yan. ehe. kidding aside, eto lang ata ang valentines na di ako bitter, na hinde ako malungkot. na di ako umaasang may magbibigay saken ng isang bouquet ng rose. wala pa din namang nagbigay, pero atlist masaya ang puso ko. no expectations = less heartaches.

Day 48: February 17, 2012, Friday

pad si EEEEWWW

Day 55: February 24, 2012, Friday

post-valentine date

eto ang kainaman ng single. pwede kang magkaron ng multiple dates for valentines, na walang maghuhuramentado. hahaha! idinate ko si mareng gladys dahil mejo matagal na din kaming di nagkikita. shempre, friends need catching up. at shempre di NYA maiwasang magupdate saken ng tungkol kay tonet. di ko alam kung nakasulat ba sa muka ko na gusto ko ng update, which i don't really give a heck about, honestly. ayun, sabe nya lang na andito na naman sa manila yun. soooo? charot!

Project 365 - Revived!

i am trying to salvage every picture that was taken for 2012. unfortunately, most of the first half of the year may be gone, as the pictures i have painstakingly harbored were gone with my short-lived iphone. good thing i have posted some on twitter. anyway... updates on the way =)

Day 15: January 15, 2012, Sunday

post-holiday celebration with the G's

lagi na lang delayed ang mga meeting. kung wala pang balikbayan, hinde pa magkikita-kita. ganun ba talaga pag tumatanda? nawawalan na ng oras makipagkita sa mga barkada? anyway, this is a day well-spent dahil di lang naman nagtapos ang pagkikita-kita sa yellowcab. chai, jov and me stayed pa for coffee, and of course, catching up. inabot na kame ng pagsasara ng trinoma.

Day 17: January 17, 2012, Tuesday

bonchon anyone?

adik pa ko sa bonchon neto. parang lahat na lang ng pwede kong yayain eh niyaya ko na dito para lang may dahilan ako para kumain ng napakasarap na soy garlic chicken. hahaha! i was with deejay and may this time. di ko matandaan kung anong okasyon, kung anong meron o sino ang nagpatawag ng presscon.

Day 22: January 22, 2012, Sunday

Random Pictures from 2011 (Days 272 to 365)

as i was not able to keep up with the Project 365 for the last quarter of 2011, and since the main blog was on hiatus, let me just post some pictures i have accumulated for those inclusive dates:

Day 272: September 29, 2011, Thursday

my angel

 today is anika's 5th year of angelhood. every year, i see to it that a mass is offered for her if i can't go to mass myself. every year. and still my mom can't still remember her full name. sheeessh. kaya ayan at sinulat ko sa papel ang napakagandang name ng aking angel. haaayy, i still get wistful at the thought of her turning 5 years old now.


Day 274: October 01, 2011, Saturday

taking a shot at cooking
 
it's been long since the last time that i tried cooking.  every try has been such a failure that i never touched a frying pan again.  pero dahil kailangan ito para sa pangarap kong makapag-asawa, ayan at nagresearch ako sa internet ng mga recipe na madaling sundan ng mga bobong katulad ko. in furnace, bumenta naman! sabi nga ng tatay ko "para akong kumain sa foodcourt".  i'm not sure if that's a compliment though.


Day 276:  October 03, 2011, Monday

 monster feet

ano bang meron sa paa ko at ang bilis kong makasira ng sapatos?  at hinde lang basta sira ha? as in gula-gulanit na pag tinigilan ko na syang isuot... haaaayyy.  bili na naman =(


Day 280: October 07, 2011, Friday

CPA... certified palaging abala

Day 287: October 14, 2011, Friday

payday Friday

Day 288:  October 15, 2011, Saturday


prom dress

got this dress for our quarterly departmental meeting.  prom night kase ang peg eh, kaya ayan at nafeel kong magpasweet 16 sa napili kong dress.  in furnace naman, nabighani ko si papa P kaya nagkandarapa syang magpapicture pagkakita nya saken. CHOS!

Day 289: October 16, 2011, Sunday


it's me-time!

time for some shopping and pampering. getting my hair done at freshaire. and for the first time, napuri ang buhok ko. alagang-alaga daw. bago siguro yung girl, kase ang alam ko, they are trained to say na "DRY" ang buhok ng customers para they can urge them to buy/avail hair treatments. chura nila!


Day 291: October 18, 2011, Tuesday

prom night

GA Departmental Meeting = Prom Night. ayan, ako lang ulet ang mukang gumet-up. yung iba, hinde prom night ang pupuntahan, nightclub lang. hahaha!


Day 292: October 19, 2011, Wednesday

SOX Training Day 1

first day of our SOX self-testing training. i was one of the facilitators kaya sobrang ngarag ako arranging for this event. we have around 70 participants kaya sobrang nakakakaba.

Day 293: October 20, 2011, Thursday

SOX Training Day 2

second day of the training. i was a nervous-wreck dahil it's my turn to speak before the testers. medyo kumplikado pa yung topic ko, but i was happy i was able to explain it to them. there were even some who were so kind to express their appreciation on how well i explained that they did understand the topic daw. in return, we were treated to a hearty dinner courtesy of our SOX consultant.


Day 294: October 21, 2011, Friday

tighter!

gone to a trip to the dentist today. i'm glad that i can see improvements with my teeth after wearing braces for about six months now. i'm getting the hang of smiling in pictures na nakalabas na ang ngipin, di katulad dati na puro pa-virgin na smile lang ako lagi. hehehe.


Day 295: October 22, 2011, Saturday

nyud

i am loving this nail color! bukod sa nakakaputi ng kamay, it is so natural na hinde kaagad makikita na bakbak na sya kung halimbawang hinde ako puntahan ng aking manicurista for 3 weeks (chos!) i love nude, or should i call it "nyud" as what the manicurista says?


Day 296: October 23, 2011, Sunday

second attempt

ayan, napuri lang minsan, ginanahan naman agad! today's recipe is shrimp with cashew nuts. mejo palpak lang yan kase nadurog yung green peas, andami-dami naman kaseng instructions, nalito na ang budding chef. wahahaha! edible naman sya, pero feeling ko hinde benta ;-)


Day 297: October 24, 2011, Monday

pompoms

akalain mong available pa pala 'to? nakikipagchikahan lang ako with one of my officemates nung bigla nya kong tanungin kung kilala ko pa daw ba ang pompoms. obcorz, intercourse! yan at ang zebzeb, tarzan at texas ang mga pagkaing miss na miss ko na :(


Day 301: October 28, 2011, Friday

first date

umagang-umaga pa lang, kumpleto na ang araw ko. niyaya ako ni papa P na magbreakfast. and this is the first time na kaming dalawa lang ang lalabas. yiheeeee! nilibre nya ko sa starbucks. pinag-oorder nya ko ng food pero i made this lame excuse na hinde ako kumakain sa umaga kase nasisira ang tiyan ko. pero ang totoo eh hinde lang talaga ako makakakain nang kaharap sya. wahahaha. highschool!


Day 302: October 29, 2011, Saturday

trick or treat!

this is ruth's 3rd trick or treat na kasama si tita. buti na lang naloko ko sya regarding the costume. gusto nya kase ng cinderella costume, eh it's too plain for tita (o mas gusto lang talaga ni tita ang yellow?). sinabi ko na lang sa kanya na butas yung kilikili ng gown ni cinderella kaya pumayag na sya na yung yellow na gown ang kukunin namin. yeeeeyy! bumagay naman sa bagets diba?


Day 304: October 31, 2011, Monday

booked

i have impulsively booked myself (and deejay) for a davao trip in july of 2012. matagal pa naman yan, sana lang hinde sya maulan. the cebupacific piso sale can be so cunning!


Day 305: November 01, 2011, Tuesday

all saints' day

the disadvantages of working for a BPO... walang holi-holiday, even on a very traditional day like today. bukod sa christmas, this is the only time that my relatives (at least from my father's side) get together. i won't let it pass, kaya dumaan pa din ako, maagang-maaga nga lang, and very very short time lang. kumokonti na kame i realized. yung iba nasa abroad, yung iba, sila na ang dinadalaw namin ngayon. =(


Day 306: November 02, 2011, Wednesday

makati on holiday nights

what i hate about the holiday season is the traffic that goes with it. good thing i don't sulk when stuck in horrible traffic, i take time to take in the beauty that surrounds me (weh?). this is how the long stretch of ayala avenue looks like now.


Day 312: November 08, 2011, Tuesday

all systems go!

korea, here i come! finally got our visa after crossing my fingers tightly for over a week. nakakakaba maghintay. i can't allow myself to get excited for the trip, not before i know that my visa is approved. now i can go shopping for outfits!


Day 323: November 19, 2011, Saturday

dream.come.true

for korea, i will do anything for good pictures. so goodbye 13th month pay, hello DSLR camera! matagal ko na din naman gustong makabili neto, i just did not have the reason to dump my digicam and go for the bigtime, hehehe.


Day 330: November 26, 2011, Saturday

cute korean kid

we were riding the subway when this kid and his dad hopped in the car we were in. i swear, he's the cutest i've ever seen (i meant the kid, not the dad). parang nagbago tuloy ang isip ko against not marrying a foreigner. parang i would consider marrying a korean for me to live there and have a kid who's as cute as this one, hahaha!


Day 359: December 25, 2011, Sunday

merry christmas ruth!

and just like that, it's already christmas. ambilis ng panahon. this is the christmas where i am cramming up until the 24th. mashado kasing naging busy eh. i remember in 2010, i was already buying gifts as early as october pa lang. busy kase sa korea eh, hehehe. but it's all good. ruth-ruth got her barbie with a swimming pool from lolo & lola (a.k.a tita's bulsa) and i am so happy she likes it. i was not able to find the tom & jerry dolls that she requested though =)


Day 363: December 29, 2011, Thursday

gifts galore

i was on leave for the longest time ever (7 days, imagine that!) and when i got to the office, these gifts were waiting for me. nakakatuwa! be it small or big, it's nice to know that you made it in other people's christmas list. these gifts will always be special, especially that one in the brown paper bag. hahaha!

Days 261 to 271

Day 261: September 18, 2011, Sunday

a taste of korea

it's been long since i last saw my kumareng gladys. busy times, add the fact that i didn't want to see anyone associated with anthony. di naman sa bitter, ayoko na lang sya maalala, because i'm doing great na. anyway, ayun, nagpagod lang kame kakalibot sa mall, tapos sobrang daming chika. namiss ko naman sya in furnace, just made me think if i'll feel the same towards one other friend whom i had cut my ties with. one year ko na din pala syang hinde kinakausap.


Day 266: September 23, 2011, Friday

ako na ang maganda

today i attended my first Cluster 2 teambuilding. i swear i have never wanted to attend any of them as long as i am in that cluster. napaplastika ako sa mga tao dun, sa pangunguna ni nita negrita. pero dahil nakailang iwas na ko in several teambuildings that were done before, napilitan na ako. and lo and behold! i won this award! wahahaha! nagbunga din ang pagpapaganda ko tuwing umaga. but i have impressed the wrong people, hinde sila ang gusto kong makapansin na maganda ako... alam na! =)


Day 269: September 26, 2011, Monday

isang box galing japan

i bought this lipstick today dahil nagsasawa na ko sa kulay ng lipstick ko. halos one year ko na yatang gamit yun. nakakatawa lang, bago ko nagustuhan 'tong shade na 'to, may inapply sa aking lips yung promo girl sa cosmetics section ng mall. yun daw yung bagay sakin na shade. pagtapos nya kong lagyan, pagtingin ko sa salamin... syet, parang bagong embalsamo lang! mejo may pagka-orange yung nilagay saken ni ate, halos mabura ang nguso ko sa pagbura. tangina naman kase, anong ikinabagay nun? makabenta lang eh.


Day 270: September 27, 2011, Tuesday

pedring

nakakalokang experience ang sinuong ko ngayon. sa kagustuhan kong makatapos ng trabaho, sumugod ako sa bagyo. 30 minutes akong stuck sa isang waiting shed sa ayala, dahil hinde kakayanin ng payong ko ang lakas ng hangin kung magtatapang-tapangan ako na maglakad na. pagdating ko ng office, para akong basang sisiw, basa lahat. ngayon ko narealize ang kahalagahan ng pagpapadala sa amin ng extrang damit sa trabaho. ang problema, 2008 ko pa na mga damit yun, yan tuloy, buong maghapon lang akong nakaupo hanggang sa matuyo ang mga damit ko. napunit yung reserve kong pantalon, kaya bawal akong magpagala-gala.


Day 271: September 28, 2011, Wednesday

timeout muna

meron na namang teammate na galing sa bakasyon kaya ayan at may libre na naman akong chocolate. saya-saya! buti pa sila nakapagbakasyon na bago pa man kami sumabak sa quarterclose. dalawang linggo na namang puyatan 'to. =(

Monday, September 26, 2011

Days 248 to 260

Day 248: September 05, 2011, Monday
kitakits ng mga utawtchi

nagpatawag ng emergency prayer meeting ang mga kapeks bilang pagbibigay-pugay sa greatest movie of all time. wahahaha! pare-pareho na naming napanood ang zombadings pero sa magkakahiwalay na sine. hinde lang kami makaget-over siguro sa tuwa kaya ayan at biglang napaluwas (probinsya?) si chirimi nang sinabi namin na magkasama kami ni deejay at manonood ng zombadings. tawa pa din kami ng tawa, at talagang pinagetching ang chant ni kuya dick habang nagtatawag ng mga kaluluwang colbam:

charoterang isprikitik, umappear ka vakler
magpafeel, magpasense ditei sa baler
witish shokoley ang mga utawtchi ditei
sa fez mo mumar na nakakalurkey


at shempre, sinong hinde mapapaindak sa sayaw ni remington na ang sikat na sikat na Solid Gold dancers pa yata ang nagchoreograph?

credits to owner


Day 249: September 06, 2011, Tuesday

taking advantage

ayan, maaga na akong umuuwe ngayon dahil tamad na tamad talaga akong magstay sa office ngayon. minu-minutong kumukulo ang dugo ko sa tuwing nakikita ko yung mga kinaiinisan kong tao dun. kaya imbis na mabadtrip, tumatambay na lang ako sa mall at bumibili ng mga bagay na nakakapagpasaya saken. 500+ points na pala ang laman ng aking SM advantage card. kaya ayan, kesa maforfeit na naman eh ginastos ko na sa mga kakikayan. yung pure beauty shampoo effect ha! malamang bumili ulit ako nyan pag naubos na.


Day 254: September 11, 2011, Sunday

my first inter-barangay trip with the girls

medyo matagal na since yung last naming kitakits. malungkot pa yung last time na yun, kaya hinde namin alam if it's the right time na magyaya ng susunod na kitakits kaya natagalan. gusto sana naming sa MOA magkita-kita para maiba naman ng ambience, kaso may bagets na kasama kaya hinde pwdeng lumayo. we settled for centris kahit wala ni isa pa sa amin na nakakapunta pa dun. nag-enjoy naman kaming magpictorial sa mga flying saucers dun. at dahil tumatanda na kaming lahat, bahagya naming napag-usapan ang pagtatayo ng business na pwede naming asikasuhing magbabarkada. at dahil may mga bagets na natuwang lumapit sa amin (napagkamalan ata kaming mascot), naisip naming baka ito na ang sign! naexcite kami sa idea ng pagtatayo ng indoor playground for kids. pare-pareho kaming may appeal at mahilig sa mga bata, baka eto na ang best business for us! chos!

but we know it takes more than signs to put up a business... it's a long way for us, but atleast we have already started.


Day 255: September 12, 2011, Monday

i am powerful

abi's back from london! and what originally was a request for a lacoste perfume, she came home with my authentic replica (an oxymoron, right) of the elder wand from Harry Potter! sobrang inggit ako that she was able to see all these memorabilias in person. lucky, lucky her! but now that i got the elder wand, i want to zap all dementors at work. i want to cast a stunning spell (or avada kedavra perhaps?) for some peace of mind. this costs me an arm and a leg, but i dont mind. i would have spent more if i was the one who saw all these stuffs myself.


Day 256: September 13, 2011, Tuesday

heaaveeeeeeeeenn

and although i feel like i am slowly gaining back weight dahil i can't stop from eating these days, ayan at parang mahahalikan ko sa tuwa ang nagbigay ng chocolates na yan. ang sabi ko pa nga eh hinde ko na muna sya bubuksan hanggang makauwe ako ng bahay. but i can't stop myself. come 6pm, napangalahati ko na sya. uh-oh. this is bad news. am i bingeing?


Day 257: September 14, 2011, Wednesday

doodles

wala talaga ako sa focus these days. hinde ko alam if i really want out that badly kaya wala na ang utak ko sa pagttrabaho. kakapasok pa lang, gusto ko ng umuwe. at ayan, instead of taking down notes in a meeting, nagddrawing ako at halatang hinde nakikinig. i hope this would change. i feel so useless, so unfulfilled.


Day 259: September 16, 2011, Friday

london pad... mousepad

it's friday and got nothing to do. nakatambay ako sa workstation nila abi when i saw this mousepad. london has been one of my greatest dream places to go to. i remember telling everyone that i really want to go there, kahit one year lang, just to acquire the accent. nyahahaha! pero i have been watching movies that featured the place, and i so love it. it has the perfect amount of gloom and cheeriness. i promise myself that i would go there someday. sana matupad =)


Day 260: September 17, 2011, Saturday

schoolgirl

finally, the school girl is here! matagal na din hinde napunta sa bahay si ruth-ruth, sobrang namiss ko ang bagets. busy sa school ang bagets, kaya hinde daw mashadong pinapasyal. shempre sabado lang ang pahinga, tapos sunday gagawa na sya ng mga assignments nya. nakakatuwa, kaya na nyang isulat ang pangalan nya, kilala nya teacher nya, pero hinde sya mashadong nagkkwento tungkol sa mga ginagawa nya sa school. nag-eenjoy kaya sya? we got to spend the whole day with her, shempre, butas na naman bulsa ni tita. but it's all worth it ♥

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Days 236 to 247

Day 236: August 24, 2011, Wednesday

session

my friend bel has the same dilemma as i am having right now: to quit or not to quit. kaya naman we had this catch-up lunch, at kailangang magpakalayo-layo (as far as RCBC Plaza) para lang makasigurado na walang ibang taong makakarinig. we are both not happy with what's happening to our jobs right now. she, with her new tasks... me, with my new boss. the sorrows of the employed.


Day 239: August 27, 2011, Saturday

vampire diaries

finally, i got to watch it. pinahiram ako ng isang officemate who's addicted to the series. honestly, i am reluctant to watch it. i have had enough with the vampires after i watched and read the twilight saga. i must say twilight ruined it for all the vampire stories out there. alright, spell ABHOR. isang malaking pagaaksaya ng pera at oras talaga yang twilight na yan. gusto kong punit-punitin mga librong binili ko (yes, i bought the whole set. all four books!) vampire diaries is way better. but episodes more into the first season and it's slowly becoming twilightish na din. hohuuuuum.


Day 241: August 29, 2011, Monday

pasalubong mondays

hello monday, hello pasalubong! if officemates went on vacation over the weekend, expect pasalubong! bumabaha na naman ng chocolates, kaya ayan at buhay na buhay na naman ako. haaaayy, ako kaya, kelan makakapagbakasyon? it's a rare instance talaga na madami pa kong natitirang vacation leaves even when it's already half past the year. masipag ba kong pumasok ngayon o wala lang talagang panahong magleave?


Day 243: August 31, 2011, Wednesday

charoterang sprikitik, umappear ka vakler

first day of showing pa lang, eto at nakapanood na agad ako. does that make me a certified honorary member of the gay community? sobrang excited ako mapanood tong movie na 'to the first time pa lang that i came across a trailer of it in youtube, months before it was opened to public showing. nakakasawa na kase ang mga heavy drama at feel-good movies. at hinde na din nakakatuwa ang mga pene movies masked as indie films. pag ba may titing ipinakita indie film na? kalurkey!

anyway, it was a great movie. i had a good laugh. may social relevance pero hinde pilit =)


Day 246: September 03, 2011, Saturday

bumabaha ng pizza

minsan lang ako maging generous sa bahay, at isa ang araw na 'to sa mga minsan na yun. meron kasi kaming inavail na coupon back in May, parang palm card sya ng pizza hut. buy 1, get 1 pizza free. di ko matandaan kung nasarapan kase ako sa domino, kaya ngayon ko lang naisipang i-try namin. in fairness ha, nagustuhan ko yung potato pizza nila. pati yung cheese pizza, yumyum buurp talaga! hahaha! sana'y maulit muli.


Day 247: September 04, 2011, Sunday

potpot, the ballerina dog

dahil wala akong magawa sa bahay at hinde ko naman feel lumabas these days, kailangan kong may paglabasan ng aking kinikimkim na boredom. eh etong aso ko eh super hyper, ayan, sya ang napagtuunan ko ng pansin. siguro eh may balak na naman ang nanay ko na ipamigay yang damit ni ruthruth sa mga amiga nyang shutanginamesh, kaya isinuot ko na lang kay potpot. may pagkabading ata pati ang aso ko, feel na feel nya naman ang tutu! naawa langg ako kase mejo tumamlay sya ng slight pagkatapos nyan, nagself-pity yata dahil feeling nya napaglaruan sya. ahaha.
