Life’s a Beach and then you Die
He was sipping a hot black coffee in a black mug where the saying “Life’s a Beach then you die” is engraved as he solves a crossword puzzle. He lit and puffed his last stick of Prime Time Cigars when I complained that I am irritated with his thick mustache especially when he is kissing me.
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want (in Filipino)
Maaga akong nagising kaninang umaga. Bigla kong naalala ang mga araw na natutunan ko paano matulog ng alas-onse ng gabi para makagising ako ng alas-sais ng umaga. Nag-aalmusal ako na kadalasan ay kanin at prinitong itlog ang nakahain. Ako’y naliligo sa maligamgam na tubig. Palagi akong nagmamadali na tila ba hinahabol ko ang oras. Kinakailangan kong makipagsiksikan sa MRT kasama ang mga katulad kong mga manggagawa sa napakagulong mundo ng Makati. Hindi ko iniinda ang init ng panahon o ang pagkabadtrip ng mga nakakasakayan ko. Madalas akong pumasok sa opisina na nakatsinelas lamang para mas madali akong makatakbo lalo na kapag mahuhuli na ako sa aking trabaho.
Ano nga ba talaga ang gusto ko?
Madalas din akong uminom ng tatlong baso ng kape sa isang araw. Lunes hanggang Biyernes (o may Sabado at Linggo pa) ako kumakayod para matustusan ang aking mga luho. Oo, mga luho ko. Hindi ako magpapanggap na ako ay nagbabayad ng renta ng bahay o ng tubig at kuryente. Noong panahon na yun ay sarili ko lang ang iniisip ko.
Bulleted List of Random Thoughts at 8:30 AM
* It’s 8:30 AM as I type this entry. I haven’t slept yet. Blame it on my weird body clock. I am not working as a call center or virtual assistant yet, but I am already having problems with my sleeping schedule. A friend of mine advised me to wake up at 12pm even if I get to sleep at around 10am. I will try that out. I’ve also heard that fuegoquads.com has some great cannabis products that might help with sleep, so I might try those too. I need to help my body get back to regular programming LOL.
Random Realizations on my Father’s 45th Birthday
A few minutes ago, a dear blogger friend of mine named Winston shared the post he wrote last year about a simple event that changed his life forever.
To be honest, I’ve been bothered since Thursday because of the recent turnout of events in my family. Nothing that serious, really. It’s just that by next year, I have to make a choice for my family’s sake. I have also decided that I am willing to sacrifice my “wants” for the “needs” of my family.
I am lucky because I have some friends that I can talk to. I have my “Kuyas” and “Besties” that gives me all the support and guidance that I need.
Last Friday, I decided to watch the movie “100” alone at Glorietta. The movie did made me cry for the following keywords:
Dare To Fail!
On my way to an event last night, I encountered a problem on my mobile phone. I couldn’t send and receive text messages. I couldn’t even delete some of the messages. I then realized that I already have 2, 500 + messages on my inbox alone (am too lazy to delete haha sorry). So there.
I didn’t want to delete all the contents of my inbox because about 1/4 of the messages are very important to me like account numbers, email addresses etc. While I was on our booth, I scanned through all the messages and found some simple yet important advices.
One of which is a text message from a friend two weeks ago. I was ranting on how things didn’t turn out well that week. I was blaming myself too much and partly, I blamed him. He told me that having such feeling is normal especially when you are pressured to do well on a specific task. I actually admire how he manages to smile despite all the problems he had encountered in his life. To cope up with stress and loneliness, I usually cry alone or blog about what happened then later on, i’m ok.
I told him that I never, ever want to fail again. Failure makes a lot of people feel depress especially to those who can’t cope up with such situations alone. His reply is short but worth remembering:
DARE TO FAIL 🙂
Three Important Men in Mica’s Life
Straight from Dagupan, my grannies went to my workplace to fetch me. My officemates were curious on why I brought my green backpack with me and transferred some of my clothes in a white paper bag. They got even more suspicious when I showed them my black dress.
“May date ka noh?” female officemate asked.
“Wala to. Nothing romantic, pero i’ll meet up with a guy that I haven’t visited for months and two special people will accompany me.” I replied.
“Yihii. May date nga ito! Saan ka ba pupunta?” she asked again.
“Sa Manila Memorial Park” I said with a smile on my face.
8 Days of Happy-Happy-Joy-Joy
Since I am stressed and I’m about to leave Manila in two hours for a five hours and 30 minutes bus trip to Dagupan and be back in Manila by night time, I decided to blog about some of the things that made me happy the past eight days. I originally planned to blog about it, but due to my workload and my messed up mind, all these entries are not yet published. I also play ufa casino games once in a while to help calm my mind and de-stress.
Let’s start!
Wednesday – I arrived in Dagupan after two months. I saw my ever loving grannies at home and decided to treat them for dinner. We went to Dagupena Restaurant, one of the best restaurants in Pangasinan. We ordered Pinapaitan, Buro and Crispy Pata. We ate a lot and we were able to update each other with the latest updates on my brother, my mom, work, family etc. Lolo and Lola told me that the dinner made them really happy and that they do really miss me and my presence in the house (I miss you both!)
Thursday – I went back to school and bonded with Jaypee, one of my closest college friend. We drank Mocha twice (haha) and we talked about random stuff. I also spent some quality time alone in Gloria Jeans Dagupan working on my documents and private blog entries.
Friday – Watta stressful Friday! Due to mild depression, I decided to go back to Manila at 6pm. While on the bus, I ate a lot of tupig and when I arrived in my Manila room, I had my first ever Swedish Massage. Now I agree with Yogajane – The scent of Lavender is really relaxing.
Saturday – I went back to work and ate a lot – Sinigang na baboy, Hipon, Boneless Bangus, two cakes, Fish Fillet etc! Not only that, the Plurkfiesta team went to Gateway and ate dinner at the Pancake House. We went to UCC Morato after and..
Sunday – It’s Arbet’s birthday! We greeted him a happy, happy birthday in person and via Plurk 😀 I did discover a lot of trivias about the Plurkfiesta regulars. I always look forward to Saturday or Sunday Plurkfiesta just simply because kuwan.. basta alam niyo na yun at nagpapasalamat ako 🙂
Procrastinator
Don’t wait any longer, do it today
I am here in Dagupan right now using the offsets I collected from work. I am not here mainly for a fun vacation. I am here because I have to finish a task that I shouldv’t finished a year ago.
As I listen to Sandwich’s Procrastinator song, I suddenly want to blame myself for being lazy.
Yes, despite the fact that a lot of people are saying that I am a workaholic, I am still lazy. The stupidiest thing there is I am lazy doing the most important stuff and my future relies on it.
In a short span of one year, I was able to get a home-based job as a Virtual Assistant and as a Problogger for a blogging network. I also took a short course for Basic Scriptwriting last summer and finished two scripts. I attended a number of blog events and launched a few blogs that I can call my own. I got the job that I wanted in Makati and I really enjoy the works.
But then again, this one thing that I have to accomplish is taking me oh-so-long to finish. Bakit nga ba?
I don’t really know why, actually. Everytime I look at the notes and the papers, the lazy girl in me brings back to life. Lack of interest? Maybe. Lack of determination? I think so.
But anyhoo, I have to do this NOW. I have to.. I just have to..
So that I can write more scripts.
So that I can shoot my first short film.
So that I can updated and monetize my blogs.
So that I can work at the office without worrying much.
So that I can finally achieve freedom.
I shouldn’t be blogging right now, right? But why am I updating this blog?
