“gusto kong matutong magdrive..kahit na wala akong kotse..”

i always sing this song at the top of my i-wonder-if -it-exist-everytime-i-sing lungs. but just this aftie it proved to me that it does exist. at least right after the instructor told me to press the clutch down to the floor and hit the break pedal as well. boy that was really heart stopping.. yeah, there you have it.. im currently taking up driving lessons not because i have to. i just want to. i dont even have a car in the first place.. but with just a little bit of perseverance and good sleeping habits..who knows? *lol*

believe it or not, i did well for my first day. i did not scream nor shout. well, ok i did just a bit. hehe.. i passed the pre-driving check up & pre-start routine..the proper handling of steering wheel..uses of pedals..observing safe distance..etc. it makes me feel so0 fine i cant control my brain! hephep..

i guess this is really how it feels..to hit the road for the first time on your own..who cares? its just…i…uh…really cant find the words to say. thank you.

now lets do this!!! +insert car acceleration+

As far as I can remember, I had three nonstop super proxy days two months back. I was just not able to “put it in blogging” because I was too pre-occupied of concerning the lives of other people and come to think about it, the lives of their loved ones too.

“We’re happy to serve you” as they say but I say I’m happy being happy in a different way. And so despite all the hassles in life that I have then, I made it a point to loosen up a bit and have a hard-hitting, mind-blowing weekend. That was stellar. I feel so excited to blurt this out, so much that I don’t know now where to start. Anyway, to avoid inconvenience, I’ll just do it chronologically.

DAY 1: August 29, 2008 ‘twas my rest day and I was planning to sleep the whole day when suddenly my sister & I decided to play bowling with her friends instead. We scored discounted tix so we were full of excitement and because of that, we weren’t able to play. Haha! Our minds went so lost in thought due to the intense thrill that we forgot something very necessary for the game -socks. Then again, we chose not to fret, we can still use the ticket some other time anyway. Good thing we were with Matet and Matet was with Julie and Julie’s with Delfin and Delfin’s with…I for got his name. Anyhow, because of that connection, we were able to crash into backdoor ventures 4^th annual arts & music festival. We’ve done a lot of cam-whoring stunts with diverse art works & musicians; grab hold of various performances from the dorques, fmd, bembol rockers, 18th issue, jeepney joyride, drip & the dawn to name a few. We went home with full beam after drinking some at Tet’s house. Though I wasn’t able to see the “green fairy,” the tofu that we all shared was enough to satisfy my craving for a fine trip after all.

DAY 2: August 30, 2008. 5…4…3…2…1…sa wakas! The day that every 80’s people were all waiting for. The “awakening of the sleeping beast,” indeed. ERASERHEADS: The Reunion. Yes it happened. And as we all know, it’s still an unfinished business – we have no freakin idea of what’s gonna happen next. Whatever that may be, I’m just a little too proud to say that I became a part of the band’s history. As if. *whatever yaya* hehe.. ely+buddy+marcus+me & the rest of the eheads fans = goosebumps with a whole lotta fun! Not to mention the fireworks.

Day 3: August 31, 2008. lalalafang @ rosario cause it’s Zion’s baptism. After that I went straight to mega to catch the closing party of backdoor venture’s 4^th annual arts & music festival. Although I wasn’t able to squeeze in my schedule to see quezo perform, I still saw Ian T. banging the big indigenous drum together with various artists for the finale. The rest of barangay tibay were also all hyped up. It’s so nice to see cosmic love & sinosikat back to back with free chocolate flavored booze beside the stage. How I wish I can sing like Kat does. Anyway, I also wanna say that it certainly is “a small world afterall” because..surprise, surprise! We saw sir cosare – our stig prof in piyu inside EE’s booth that night. I knew it…

Alifbata sessions won’t be totally complete without him. Pix.pix!

Now this is what I call ma kulcha…

Coming soon: natty dreadknot gigs. Chao! >.

It’s a Sunday and I’m at work. What could be cooler than that? Its really hard to be a proletariat… *sigh* I’m missing Pablo, my helmet crab. I could have brought him here with me but anyways… I’m here all alone… neither my manager nor supervisor is at my sight. I’ve been killing soo much time since I arrived. I’m actually supposed to be doing a background investigation report at this point but I guess this is what they call “writer’s block” Nyahaha… Seriously, I better start working and being productive. That’s a part of the company’s Seven Habits of a Highly Effective People. Habit 1 says you have to be Proactive. Habit 2 says you have to begin with the “end ” in mind –whatever that means. Habit 3 says you have to put first things first. Habit 4 says you have to think “win-win.” Habit 5 says you have to seek first to understand then to be understood. Habit 6 says you have to Synergize. And finally, Habit 7 says you have to sharpen the saw. *sigh* Rules. Aren’t they too hard to follow? My habits are just exactly the opposite of those that they’ve set. I must admit, I aint a perfect employee then (though they say I have to be because I belong to a department wherein each of us are expected to do the “right” things and be role models to others) but in fact, I think no one is. That’s based on my keen observation here. Yeah, I’m born to criticize -even my own self. Hahaha! So for those megalomaniac superiors that I’ve met…..  

We’ll see.

as for now, im gonna go back to work… *sings to the tune of jimmy eat world*

a couple of months ago i told myself that im gonna change my way of living. after that screaming wake up call, i have decided to stop being matic (although my decisions swing and sway from time to time as to that of {what happens in} my former werkplace; ICT -those letters mean It Changes Terribly) and modify my CV.

Now, i have switched gears. i aint a vampire no more. no longer a moonstruck telemarketer.

no more mr.smith saying "wtf?!! what part of no can you not understand?! where are you calling from? blahblahblah"

no more mr. nguyen saying "im not interesting" at the end of a 41 page disclosure.

no more mr. park saying "yobo seo?!" and colleagues shouting "ewan ko seo!"

no more answering machines, client hung ups, telcom blocks, dnc’s, verbatim script, q.a monitors and best of all, no more misdisposition of calls. hekhek..adeks!

its about time for me to trek and turn my safety off. the transition will not be that easy but that’s what matters to me the most. there’ll be a lot of acclimation and that only spells rakenrowl! im now excited about the kick.

@_@

"A decade ago, I never thought I would be, at twenty-three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion. -Woe-is-me.-But I guess that it comes with the territory,An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity.I need you to hear, I need you to see that I have had all I can take and exploding seems like a DEFINITE possibility to me.
So pardon me while I burst into flames. I’ve had enough of the world and its people’s mindless games. So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.Pardon me, pardon me…I’ll never be the same!" - no wonder this song was written.

According to psychologists, there’s this thing called "quarter-life crisis" and if you dont have any idea as to what im talkin about, you might wanna go across my previous blog entitled "fasten your seatbelts." Conversely, according to a pastor from CA, theres also this period called "postmodernism" wherein the truth is already becoming subjective -like whatever it is that kris aquino is saying is right. And those two situations / forces combined is what’s right here, straight into my face right now. they say reality bites. i say NO, IT GRiNDS! but the good news is, ground peppercorns give our food a twist. i mean, we humans are given options. You can decide whether you’ll stick with the malady or just take it easy -as long as youre still doing the right thing. i chose the latter. so im now exercising to walk my talk. here are some examples:

uhm… ahem! allright,

Number 1: i committed a crime (fortunately i didnt kill anybody) from the office. though it was just a minor-lead-to-major offense because of stupid escalations, im now under preventive suspension and its still indefinite till we get through the administrative hearing. BUT, its okay, at least i have my grand vacation this summer. i have time watching cartoons with my pamangkins. and i consider those as priceless moments.

Number 2: i realized that my friends have no time for me. they’re all busy with their commitments so none of them were able to accompany me to little jamaica, jamaica. hekhek.. BUT, that’s fine, apart from feeling very independent then, i also had a real-good time spent talking w/ martin and his clan, w/ kanuto, w/ ser rambwoy. w/ myself and oh, w/ the sari2  store vendor as well.

Number 3: just recently, (oh so pathetic) i realized that i’ve had series of unsuccessfull relationships (if ever there was) or lets say love stories. BUT, so what? in filipino, weno ngayun?  at least twas not like coke, you know, zero?! hehe. i just have to remember that not all good looking guys have girlfriends. some of them have boyfriends. tsk.tsk. that’s bad. Wahaha!

okay, im done and i actually dont know how to end this so i guess..

Goodluck, Godbless and Txtback. =p

hango sa txt message ni martin: tomas pinpin, lakad pababa, pag umbot sa court, kaliwa. -that was not how i got to Dona Maria last sunday for their fiesta. i took the other way; santol and then tryk straight to "little Jamaica!" (and im writing this so that i wont forget). Very nice. I came there on time and the weather was fine. They said Cosme’s on the way but lo and behold, it didnt rain -at least before i went home. hehe.. i wasnt able to finish the entire event. although i was having a blissful time right there, i had to leave before kadangyan and collie herb play because i had to get prepped for my tasks for that morning. when i say prepped, i mean you have to be equipped not just with full battle gear or first aid kit or other what nots. you also have to bring a lot of patience -tons of them. just imagine staying in queue for six and a half hours just to get your NBI renewed with your ugly pic on it and be on a clinic with your urine sample and find out that you still have to undergo medications and do the laboratory exam again for the third time in a row. and to top it all off, you go home with a news that your friend’s brother is declining your offer (your pc package complete with printer) because its too old school and the price isnt right. and then you ask her boyfriend: "do i have to call the junkshop now?" because thats what you think your last resort is. *sigh*

Nevertheless, i still appreciate that im going through all these blues. it gives me clues. btw, i beleive i have a new motto now, "move hard, pray harder" Thats it!

wonderful.

sobrang dami talaga! haay buhAY…

parang gusto ko pumunta sa dutdutan at magpatattoo ng mukha ni jolibee sa noo ko
