turkey night.




happy Thanksgiving to all! i'm at work right now (its double-pay on holidays), and needless to say there isn't much work that needs to be done around here.. obviously.. which is just perfect coz i am totally not in the mood to computer-burn my brains out. still currently under the weather.. err whatever you may call it. i'm so confused. i feel relieved but sad at the same time. and guilt is paying me a visit. looks like it's gonna stay in for the holidays.

but anyhow, i'm trying hard to steer away from dwelling on this situation too much.as a divertion, my officemates had invited me to go grab a few drinks later. so i'm gonna. buti nalang el pueblo is just a few minutes away from the office. i needta relax man. this'll only be a few days. i'll get over this.. i'm on a roll.

i learned a new word today- schadenfreude: otherwise known as that German disease when you get enjoyment outta the smelly antics of others. could've called it filipino ;p.


there is somebody else i'm missing terribly right now. i love the way he played with my baby brother :) i wish he'd come visit me again.. and that we could talk just like how we used to.

confessions of a professional spoiled-brat.

I am so done with work today. thank god. 2 days off will do me good. it's ridiculous how watching tv is a privelege to me now.. real leisure time. this work shift is killing the life out of me.. socially! i hardly see my friends, barely get to spend time with my family (the last decent conversation i had with my dad was a text message), and i still owe my lola a movie date. well, i've never been a happier shopper tho. sucky trade-offs. and if only i didn't need this money soo friggin' bad right now.. i'll be out of this job faster than you can say - "happy holidays".

damn i miss how easy it was for me to just wait for my monthly allowance to come and ask good 'ol daddy for "emergency-back-up". now i am expected to pay for my bills, phone bills and the like.. and i thought getting a real job would be so cool. :p

There really is nothing i like about my job other than the pay. let's just say it's computer stuff and it's really boring. i spend 8 hours daily talking to americans about how to fix their computers, or how to turn it on! for crying out loud. and don't get me started on my work shift.. pfft.. worst of all it no longer challenges me, i just happen to be good at it. ;) seriously! i know i've only been on it for almost 5 months.. but already i wanna move on to other things.. err, other fun jobs i mean. something i love doing. or talking about. something that brings out my personality more. well, i heard they have 2 other openings for another department in our company, something with more interaction, events handling and lots of public relations. now that sounds like a job I WANT. so i'm gonna go and give it a try. i'm currently on the look out for other options. i don't wanna leave our company tho, it's great. and the office is only less than 10 minutes away from our house. but hey, i'd try anything for a change.

Argh. christmas. i've got to get my list ready.. and get my ass to go to work. more so now, i got this christmas gift planned for my dad.. he is totally gonna freak! now that's the spirit. :)
