I hate FX drivers! I HATE FX DRIVERS! I woke up at 5:30 am. I got ready for work. I arrived at the FX terminal at around 6:45. There were no shuttles in sight! Damn! I had to wait in line. And what’s worse is that the line was SO long! I sat there patiently, waiting for my turn. Finally, there it came at around 7:40; a white L300fb van with a private plate bound for Amorsolo. I opted to sit in front by the window, but there was this dim-witted girl arguing that she should take that place instead because her stop was closer than mine. I didn’t want to ruin my day, so I whispered “shut up” and sat between her and the driver. The girl was feeling so comfortable that she did her make-up inside the shuttle. Talk about being prim and proper! She did her foundation, eye shadow, blush, eyebrows and lipstick. As if she hasn’t had enough yet, she pulled out her eyelash curler and began curling away! I really wanted to laugh out loud believe me! I was trying my best not to do so. FYI: Her stop was just a few blocks from mine! I wanted to strangle her for taking my seat! Anyhow, enough of her.  What REALLY pissed me off this morning was the driver. He did not take the usual route of the Amorsolo bound shuttles! He took a LONGER route! And all the streets we went to were piled with vehicles! In short, he drove from one traffic jam to another! Stupid driver! In effect, I was late for 7 minutes! I woke up early but ended up late just because of a daft driver! So much for starting the day right!

I earned 7 points and it’s not even my fault! Damn! I wish idiocy stops spreading because senseless creatures are growing in number!

openly say what you feel?

look down and walk away?

be completely honest?

tell a lie?

Is there? Is there a right time?

[     I have been watching the news lately. Keeping myself posted with the unending issues circling the country. Sounds boring! At some point it is. But it if you take a closer look at it, it’s just the same with the telenovelas that you look forward to everyday. The government is filled with brilliant actors and actresses. Simply overflowing with drama. Different sides trying to be the protagonist all at the same time. Seeking the sympathy of the audience, who by the way is suffering from their ridiculous incapacity to run the country. Hay.. actually, I get pissed watching the news. But somehow, I’m hoping to hear something good each day. And do I get one? NOPE! Same old story everyday. Solution? Umalis-na-tayo-ng-Pilipinas-kasi-wala-ng-pag-asa-to-promise! J

[     What’s so interesting about the Pinoy-Big-Brother show in Channel 2? None! Hehe.. J (Sorry for the avid fans out there! J) I think the network hosting the show lacks the resources needed in order for the show to be a hit (like the previous ones shown in other countries). I’m not saying that Channel 7 can do better (I’m a kapuso btw! J), it’s just that they failed to make it appealing for their target audience. It’s already a plus that this is something new to the local viewers. But the thing is, they simply built a house and looked for 12 people (12 nga ba? I’m not sure.. ehehe.. J) that would occupy it. Done! So where is the excitement? The contestants were carefully chosen that they forgot to bring in the variation factor. They simply looked for people that would register well in front of the camera. The voice behind Big Brother is awful. (I was about to say gay! Hehe.. J) I can go on and on. But I suppose this is my stop. J

FYI: I tried watching the show several times. J I still find Encantadia and Sugo far more thrilling. Baduy na kung baduy wala akung pake! Hehe..  J

can i just say that i have mastered the art of self-talk or in other words thinking out loud?! hehe.. J la lang.. J

I can hardly keep my eyes open. I’ve been having trouble getting some sleep for several days now. This is for the reason that my body clock is a wreck. I was in night shift last week. My day, or should I say night, starts at 8 pm and ends at 6 am the following morning. I get home at around 7-8 and flop in my bed right away. And now that it’s over, my body clock still hasn’t adjusted to the normal time. I think I have a total of 12 hours sleep in 3 days – 3-5-4 in that order. And to top it off, my back, my arms and my shoulders are throbbing right now. I believe this is a result of the activities that we had from our team building last Saturday, cleaning the house yesterday and a sporadic sleeping habit. Tough luck huh?!

As mentioned, we had our team building last Saturday. It was fun actually. I got to spend the whole day with the team at the Powerplant mall with no work involved. J

Wall Climbing

It was a first for most of us. (In fact all of us except huh-hmm who already tried it in high school.J) I was both scared and exhilarated at first. I have never tried anything like this before. I tried not to look down on the way up. Hehe.. J But as I climbed to the top, I was actually enjoying myself. It was tiring afterwards though. My arms felt as if they were worn out after every climb. But given a chance, I’ll do it again! J Come to think of it, maybe I should invite him or my brother to do this again some time. J

Lunch @ Zaifu

We had lunch at this Japanese Restaurant. We had an interesting topic over lunch. Hehe. J Mostly about relationships except for the “saging-managing” joke of Ryan! J

Bowling

The team was divided into two groups. It was B-O-Y-L vs. A-K-N-MW. In the end, B-O-Y-L won over a small margin. J I forgot the final tally but I’m pretty sure they won just a few inches over our team. Despite our loss, I managed to outscore person “Y”! Hehe! J It was our Pride at stake. Good thing I won over him because I know I’ll never live it down if he won. He’ll surely rub it in my face like what I’m doing to him right now! J

Skeleton Key

We decided to catch a movie after the game. It was a choice between Must Love Dogs and Skeleton Key. Obviously, Skeleton Key won as the other seemed to be a “date movie” and sounded a bit boring. Aside from “Daddy and Mommy”, none of us had dates so we opted for the Hudson flick. J It had a weird ending. I never would have guessed that it would end that way. So I guess the story was ok, a surprising twist in the end, but dragging all along.

Power Station

We were already in the parking lot ready to leave when we decided to stay a little longer. In short, “tumambay-pa-kame-kasi-tinatamad-pa-kaming-umuwe”. J We headed towards Powerstation and played Daytona. After searching for the next game to play, we ended up in a videoke booth! We had 2 rounds of songs with an “I will Survive” finale. Hehe. J

Dinner @ Shakey’s

Finally, we decided to have dinner instead of the planned hang-out/coffee. This marks the end of our team building, at least for some of us. O-N-Y still pushed through with the coffee thing. They changed venue from Rockwell to Starbucks @ Greenbelt. I wanted to come but I had to go home. L

I got home exhausted from all the activities and I guess lack of sleep. But then the day was fun. It served as my escape. I was able to relish the day with no worries. J Sana maulit! J

“Shut your mouth when you’re talking to me”

          -- taken from the Wedding Crashers

I was laughing my ass off when I heard this line from the movie. Who in his/her right state of mind will say something like this?! Hehe.. J After hearing that line, I made a mental note to place this in my blog so here it is.. J

“Good News!”

          --B

I am so happy for you! J I have always believed in you and never even for a single moment have you failed me. J

“Don’t worry, I’m okay..”

          --A_D

I really do hope so.. I don’t want to see/hear/know that you’re crying. I’m always here for you no matter what. J

After planning this game for more than a week, it finally pushed through. The four of us played badminton for two whole hours last Saturday. Exhausting is putting mildly. (tanung nyo pa kay oscar! Kala ku kekelanganin namen ng chiropractor nun e. “exhibitionist” kasi! Wehehe! J) However, that was nothing. It was really fun! I was laughing most of the time. I was enjoying the game, enjoying the people I was playing with, enjoying the exercise (believe it or not) and enjoying all the body fat I was burning. Hehe! J Next next week ule!!! J

To Jordan: Thanks po sa pagkuha ng details sa the zone! baet baet mu talaga! Kung di dahil saio ende sana kame nakapagbadminton! hehe.. J

To Oscar: Iba ka! Hehe! J Ikaw lang ang may mapanindak na padyak ng paa! Ikaw ang essence ng dive/die for the shuttlecock! Ikaw lang ang nakita kung gumagawa ng behind-the-back sa badminton! Ikaw lang ang nakita kong nag-a-RCA sa court! Wehehe.. J

To Joven: Idol! J ang galing mu grabe! Sana mahawaan mu aku ng powers mu! J makakuha lang aku ng kahet na konting talent mu sa badminton e masaya na aku! J sarap mong ka-partner! J
