But Wait! There's More!

Wooooooot! =P Anyhoo. Since I use proxy to open Friendster in the office, and for some reasons proxies don't make me publish posts here in this blog, saving it as drafts instead, blog updates are always at my other blog.

As you all know, I'm a devotee of sloth and copy-pasting from that to my Friendster and Blogspot blogs defies that. So there, since you're not as a sloth as me, just go click the link above or, if it didn't work, go figure out for yourself a way to get there. Nyahah.

Anyhoo, I copy-pasted 4 entries here before posting this. I'm not sure if by the time you read this, copy-pasted entries from there here are up to date. Woot! Harhar!

Respecting Other People's Preferences

Shanky called me up yesterday to update me on his job hunting eklavoos. He said Lean called him yesterday and told him about Eckelz wanting to resign from his current job. Shanky said, "Grabe naman! Ang swerte swerte na niya sa work niya. Network Admin Assistant??? Ang ganda ganda ng ng pwesto niya, gusto pa niya umalis dun?" He was like, if Eckelz is right in front of him he could have given him a malupit na batok. Sabi pa niya, "Yun yung pinapangarap kong trabaho. Nakakainis naman si Eckelz, ayaw pa niya dun." And then I asked him how much is Eckelz compensation, he said Eckelz gets about 12K a month, and then Shanky kept on saying, "Kung ako yun ayos na sa akin yung ganung sweldo basta gusto ko yung trabaho ko. Nakakainis talaga si Eckelz!" Then he noticed that I'm kinda quiet while he was ranting his ass out about it. He then asked me, "Ikaw? Ayaw mo ba ng ganung trabaho?" and I answered him no. "Hindi naman dahil maganda yung trabaho na yun para sayo maganda na rin yun para sa iba. Parang ikaw, gusto mo networking stuff, ako ayoko ng networking kasi alam ko masmageexcel ako sa programming, pero ikaw ayaw mo rin ng programming kasi alam mo sa networking ka magaling, di ba?" Woot! Although I told him a couple of times already that maybe Eckelz' work preferences is different from his and that he should just let Eckelz be, he still didn't stopped ranting. Harhar!

It's kinda like letting people be no matter how grrr it is for you if you are in that person's shoes. Buhay niya yon. We have to accept the fact that people has their own preferences. They take their own choices and make their own decisions. They are the one who are living their lives, not us, so why the hell bother waste whatever if it won't affect you in any way naman, right? Not unless of course if you know that it will do him harm, not just to your own insight but to others, too, then that's the only time that you should butt in. Yung mga tipong gusto niya tumalon ng building kinda stuff. Harhar! Korniness.. =P

You should just let people be and live according to their own preference. It's okay to give advices or opinions but don't insist on them doing or believing the same way you do or told them. Don't expect to share the same happiness with everyone. If someone finds fulfillment in bitching around, then let them be. If someone finds happiness in disrupting other people's peace, then let them be. If someone wants to believe in the total opposite of what you believe in, then let them be. It's okay to try to make them do as you would but keep in mind that the choice is still his or hers. Buhay niya yun. Unless alam mong magiging kargo yun sayo o sa utak mo, kung dun siya masaya, pakialam mo ba?

WOOOOOT! =P

Gudlak-Pamster Week @_@

Last week I thought this week would be just another petix week in the office, only with some meetings about the tasks for our team's big project which we have to make through while our team lead is on leave for three weeks and Vinny acting as dev team lead on her behalf. Woot! Heheh.

Anyhooness. Monday. AJ and I were texting until around 3:30 AM in the morning, as we always do while he is doing call boy's work and I doing online window shopping in multiply, nyahah. When I told him that I'm going to dream land already, that's when he told me that it is her mom's birthday and that I have to come to Fairview. Huwatdapak, mehn?!? Going there without worrying about my mom's wrath means I have to work Shift A, which is 7 AM to 4 PM. I know I can wake up easier when I stay up uber late than sleeping effin early but it needs some conditioning eklavoos. I should atleast get 3 hours sleep so I won't get migraine-like headaches while watching movies in the office, wooot! Heheh. So there, I slept at around 4 AM, woke up at around, okay, around quarter to 7, took a very quick shower, then left for work at around 7:30, got to the office just in time for shift B, 8 AM to 5 PM.

Since I was informed about going to AJ's mom's birthday party at the uber wee hour of the morning and since I have to be early for work so I can leave early, yeah boi, I didn't have a gift for his mom. Grrr. But then I had this evil plan. I would go out during lunch break and buy her a big jar of her uber loved cow's milk pastillas, and where's that? In Greenhills, mehn! Yeah boi! =P And then I remembered that I saw Sitsitrya has a website, that's where I discovered that Sitsitrya has a permanent stall in Tiendesittas. Whew! But since I have a scheduled meeting at 11-12, I had to eat lunch before that meeting. Then off to Tiendesittas 15 minutes before 12.

When I got there, I went straight to Sitsirya to buy that big jar of pastillas and then headed to Fashion Village. Nyahah! Oo! Nagshopping pa muna ako bago bumalik ng office! It's because I'm wearning my Happy People Gurango uniform, and I feel a little dugyot already since I walked a million miles from IPI to Tiendesittas, so I figured I need to buy something decent to wear to Perbyu later. I don't wanna look dugyot in front of AJ's relatives. Ayos lang sana kung sila mommy alfon, lola alfon and tita Marie lang yung andun, they always see me dugyot naman. Anyhoo. 20 minutes of roaming around Tiende, I bought this puffed sleeved kikay shirt for only 100 then walked a million miles again to IPI. I was back in the office at around 1:05, still able to catch GYC having lunch outside Cebu. Heheh.

I also had another meeting scheduled for yesterday afternoon. Kahit pala pumasok ako ng 7 hindi rin pala talaga ako makakaalis ng 4 kasi 3:30 to 4:30 pala yung meeting ko, akala ko 3 to 4. Anyhoo. After the meeting, while Vinny was stealing my toothpaste as part of his daily routine, sabi ko sa kanya sabay na ako. That's a few minutes after AJ reminded me about SONA. I can't take Jayross to Fairview dahil ang mga aktibista at mga raliyista ay kasalukuyan nga palang nagpipiket sa Commonwealth dahil sa SONA. So he said we should just meet in SM North and take SM Fairvew FX from there. Sloth attack again, I thought of taking the Cubao route to MRT para 1 ride na lang, and since Vinny will also take LRT 2 in Cubao, sasabay na ako. But less than 5 minutes before 5 PM, Vinny was summoned by Augsie to sign something for their "group" certification exam on Friday. And then he was like, "Pamster, sama ka na sa Friday!" backed up by Augsie. And then without a single second of thinking, I said, "Geh na nga, pwede pa ba mag reg?" WOOOT! So there... Instant SQL Certification Exam come this Friday, meaning having to review Test King for only 3 days. Nyahah. Is this CCNA Certification Exam part two? Harhar.

Grrr. It was so traffic. And when I got to Cubao station of MRT at around 6 already, the line to the ticket booth was so effin long. Grrr. I'm not used to this anymore. Heheh. I got to Trinoma at around 6:30. AJ said he's still in a far far away place so I decided to do, again, some shopping at Landmark. Nyahah. I was looking for a cheap pair of firetruck red pants and found one for only 279 pesos. Too bad, I wasn't able to buy it because AJ texted me already. We were in a hurry, kaya ayon, hindi ko na siya nabili. Babalikan ko na lang siya some other time. Harhar!

When we got to the Fx terminal, okay fine, loooooong queue again, so we walked a million miles to SM North's Fx terminal to find, again, a loooooooonger queue. There's also something uber funny happened. Harhar! Well, for me it is. Nyahah. While we were walking, AJ all of a sudden just stopped and asked two ubeeer kikay gurls, one in yellow skinnies and green razor back top and the other... Uhmmm.. I really can't remember, but I'm pretty sure she's also colorful, heheh. Usually, AJ is a little hesitant when we need to ask manong guards if we're in lost kiddos mode, but that time with those colorful kikays, aside from it was so so sudden, no signs of hesitation can be sensed. Nyahah. I know some gurls might react to it by getting uber angry or something like it, but I can't help but laugh. I know for the fact that it was a total normal guy instinct to do stuff like that, but not in front of their girlfriends! Harhar!

Anyhoo. Since Fx lines where so uber crowded, we decided to take a cab after we bought cake at Red Ribbon for her mom. We got to their house a few minutes past 8 already. It's kinda like eat and run, because after we ate, her mom was insisting that we need to go because she doesn't want me to be home late and AJ also has work at 10. Nyahah. We left their house at around 9:10. Hindi man lang kami nakapaglandian kahit ilang minuto lang. Nyahah. I was home at around 11.

Monday pa lang yan, guys. Habaness! Heheh.

Okay. Now Tuesday. Heheh. I am scheduled today for my Developer Evaluation meeting with big boss Sir Joey and Miss Eya. I know the meeting is at 11AM. I was not at all in a hurry when I woke up at around 7. I was in my bed, texting AJ, until around 8:30, when AJ stopped replying, the green light indicating he's asleep already and I have to get up from bed to take a bath. I was at our gate at 9:40, and as soon as I had my ass on the tricycle's back ride, I received a message from Miss Eya. "Aabot ka naman ng 10 para sa meeting d b?" I was like, "SIYET!!" Taxi mode! I arrived at the office at 9:56. Wheew! Nyahah.

So there, Dev Eval meeting with Sir Joey and Miss Eya. My heart was surprisingly not pumping like there's no tomorrow but instead it kinda like stopped beating. Harhar! The result of the eval was okay. I was given an above average mark, but I know it's still not as high as my other monstrous dev officemates like Timmy Tammy, Vinny, and Ralph. I know I'm ranked below them all. Heheh. But still, I'm so relieved that I had met most of their expectations, and even exceeded on some, as they claimed, heheh. My move out fund will definitely increase. Woohoo! Kahit gaano kaliit na increase man yun, woohoo pa rin! Harhar!

With my instant certification exam this Friday, I should be memorizing TestKing right now, but my brain's just too lazy for that right now, so instead, look at what I'm doing... Nobela blogging again. Nyahah. Good luck to me on Friday! Let's see if the landeeh plans AJ and I had for Friday afternoon after my exam can still push through. Nyahah.

Owkaeipaynwatebur! Woot!

Noticing that my Firefox's bookmark lists is getting way too effin looong, I decided to clean the list up a bit. To my surprise, I found a bookmark of someone's blog. I had stopped reading it ages ago when I finally decided that I'll let that person be and ignore all poop she poops. If you can't help people in their pitiful state, just pray for them kinda stuff. Woot!

Anyweiz. I read through that person's recent blog entries, just a few, heheh, only some of those in the home page of that person's blog, and surprisingly, I found entries that kinda made me chuckle. Woot!

The first chuckle-worthy thing I read there was when she gloriously claimed that I had stopped blogging because of her. Grrr stuff made me stop doing happy blogging, but is happy blogging all I ever blog about? Technically, what really made me stopped blogging AGAIN was combined SLOTH and a lot of movies currently shared in our office network. Couch potato mode even at the office, yeah boi! Harhar!

Second. Nyahah. I don't "snoop" around reading other people's stuff to get "inside scoops" or whatever. I had stopped reading even my uber loved officemates' and friends' blogs because of, again, SLOTH. And ever since she was removed from someone's friends' list and I didn't have any access to her PRIVATE friendster profile, I thought I also lost access to her blog that is why I never even dared trying to access it. Not until now that I discovered that blogs of users with private profiles can still be accessed. Nyahah. Okay fine, I admit on looking at their group's friendster account once in a while to "snoop" on new albums to find new pictures to laugh my head off about, but that happens only like once every two weeks, not as frequent as seeing that account's headshot on my "Who Viewed Me" list which I clean up every 4 days, AT MOST. Harhar!

Owkeipayn. I guess letting her be still didn't make her happy. Nyahahah. I don't know if it will make her feel better, which I totally doubt, but I would delete her blog on my bookmarks after posting this, heheh. Again, as I always say... You can't force people to understand or leave you alone, all you can do is let them be and just pray for them. Woot! =P

Waldas Saturdays At MOA

It's already 3:59 in the morning, and yeah, here's the much awaited mood for happy blogging! Woohoo! Finally! Harhar... Although I still won't be blogging about Porky Pam's first birthday, nor my first saGuijo experience, I will be blogging now about two consecutive Saturdays of a whole lotta spendin' in MOA. Nyahah.

PART I : July 19, 2008

Last Saturday, Porky and I decided to go to MOA to watch Dark Knight on a regular MOA Cinema. Wuhla lang, trip lang namin sa MOA kasi sukang suka na kami sa Galeria at Megamall. Harhar! Anyhoo. We got to MOA at around 2 PM because as I had checked online movie skeds, there was Dark Knight sked at 2:30 in iMax. Yup! I really wanted iMax that's why I checked the iMax sked although we already agreed on watching in on regular cinema. Harhar! When we finally managed to discover where the cinemas are, we saw this effin long line of people on the ticket booth. Then I told Porky, "Tchera! Tchera! Let's watch Dark Knight on iMax na lang!" We were like lost kids looking for the iMax's effin location, harhar! When we finally got there, the only available tickets are for the 8PM showing, at the very last row. AJ has to go to his grrrrrr work at 10PM and as we know, Dark Knight is almost 3 hours long, so what we did was we bought tickets na lang for the 2:30PM showing next Saturday. Harhar.

After reserving tickets at the iMax we went to the SM Science Discovery Center. Harhar! We didn't really see whatever everyone has to pay 350 pesos for but we kinda had fun looking at the kewl toys at the store beside the ticket booth. Nyahah... We were so amazed by the kewl 3D puzzles of dragons and animal anatomies, especially the pig. Harhar! We also found kewl toys in eggs that you have to buy tokens because it's like in a gum ball machine. He really wanted the Mario Kart eggies. Aheheh. I also found there a pinhole camera for about 400 pesos, so effin cheaper than Lomo cams that you can use to take pinhole pictures, which cost about 2000 and more. Harhar!

Since we were not able to do what was really intended, we decided to do food trip instead. Harhar! We already ate at McDonald's near Mapua Makati before we came to MOA where each of us ate a regular burger, an upshaked fries, and one and a half spaghetti plus orange juice. Heheh. Then while at MOA, I don't know if it can still be considered as food trip, hahah, but we had large chocolate shakes from a stall there that has a picture of a bear, then we bought some brownies, ate them while we were walking around MOA, and then we bought kewl smoothies from Juice Avenue before we walked a few minutes near the bay. Harhar.

PART II : July 26, 2008

AJ said he will be at my house at 9 since our original plan for the day was to make potato salad in the morning, then get his hair cut in Galeria, then MOA! Heheh.. At around 9:10 he texted me saying that he was currently in a Jayross bus, which is his favorite bus from Fairview to Galeria, or vice versa. Harhar. When he arrived De Castro at around 10 AM, we first accompanied Yay to the vet to have Misty checked up for her cough. After that we did some happy happy bonding before I took a bath. We left De Castro at 12 noon, arrived in Galeria at around 1PM where I had to change from my just-above-the-knee shorts to a semi-pekpek shorts as AJ begged for a kikay outfit, specifically a kikay blouse and a kikay pekpek shorts, a few days ago. Harhar!

We thought we would make it to MOA just in time for us to eat before our reserved 2:30 iMax chuvaness. But grrrr. Traffic was so grrrr, we got to MOA less than 5 minutes before 2:30. We went straight to McDo, since it's the nearest fast food chain and because I want Shake Shake Fries, to buy food for take out. Kung minamalas nga naman... The crew that was serving us is still new and he kept on making mistakes about our orders and on punching it in. AJ and I was like "Owmaygad, 2:30 naaaa, oh pleaasseee..." Hahah. When we got to iMax, to our relief, the movie hasn't started yet and they were just staring to let people in. Harhar.

After watching the movie, the original plan for what will we do next was grrrrrly shattered by something that can't be really planned when to happen and when not, so we just strolled. Harhar. =P We went to the department store to buy the long overdue umbrella we promised yay as replacement for the umbrella she lent AJ that he left in a bus. Then we went to Watsons for some kikay needs.

AJ said he wanted to have coffee somewhere, sabi ko "Tchera! UCC tayo.." Harhar! At first, I kinda sensed AJ really wanted to stay there because of the view and because it was kinda breezy there. Harhar. He was really enthusiastic about it, until he got his eyes on the menu and found out how expensive the meals are there. Harhar. So, as originally planned naman talaga, we just ordered coffee but I insisted on ordering a chocolate crepe, nyahah. I would pay half naman of the bill eh, kasi ako may kasalanan kung bakit kami nasa UCC, sabi ko kasi sa pagkakaalala ko nung kumain ako dati dun nasa 200 plus lang yung mga pasta nila. Harhar. Pero kahit papaano, after we got surprised by the regular fireworks display every Friday and Saturday at 7PM, which we didn't know about, it somewhat lightened the weight of the wallet bleeding AJ and I was enduring. It was really kewl! Almost 600 pesos just for two coffee and a chocolate crepe, nyahah.

After eating, since it's already past 8 and AJ has work at 10 at the far north and we're in the south, we decided to go home already. Heheh. We tried to discover a new way to get to Galeria from MOA aside from what we did last week where we rode a Jeep to MRT and walk so so so faaaaar to where buses load passengers. We decided to wait for any bus we can ride there at the place where bus dropped us off on our way to MOA, that place near the big globe. We tried that already last week but we had no luck, but this time we saw a bus with an "Ortigas Ilalim" and "Cubao" sign. Without hesitation, AJ and I boarded it. Harhar.

While we were being mushy for a few minutes in the bus already, we then noticed that we still aren't in Edsa. That's when we realized, "Oh no! Round trip beh itech?" Nyahah. It was my first time to see a real life tarmac so near, and it was so kewl! Nyahah. I don't even know where NAIA is, all I know is that I'm seeing it right there. Nyahah. SO there, lateness galore to AJ. But what the heck? It was equal to more time with each other, making landeeh, heheh.

Today is Poyky Pam's 13th Monthsary, yehey! Yehey! I love my Porky uber much... I hope I get to have more days like these with him.. Heheheh...

Happy happy happy.... ^_________^
