back from hiatus? [08 Apr 2005|04:19pm] not really.. i've been busy with a lot of things lately.. but to be honest, i was busy with ragnarok.. lots of things are happening in my personal life and i just thought i need the break.. messiah got it right when he answered des' question.. des: "why do you play ragnarok?" messiah: to escape reality.. yeah..he got that right.. in ragnarok you could be what you want to be.. you become well-known because of your skills, and the funny thing is for me the skills i have in game are far greater than the ones i have in real life.. this realization made me question if i could actually survive in trend micro.. yeah, so i passed the test and the interview..but, as our orientors pointed out, there will be fall-outs along the way..people who cannot take the pressure and the rigorous training have nowhere else to go but out.. can i survive? i don't know.. i'm stumped and i get a headache whenever i think about that.. i'm a hunter, with killer damage and super useful weapons..yeah, i'm pretty much an "above average" avatar considering that my equipments cost millions..that sets me apart.. but in real life, i can't seem to find my distinction from the crowd..how am i different? how am i ME? geez, i don't think i can answer that in the next weeks, maybe even months or worse years.. ( rantyrantyranty ) yeah. evil bitch is back. am i welcome? post comment

nothing much.. [10 Mar 2005|06:08pm] [ mood | mellow ] nothing much except that after seeing people pass their deliverables and find out that some even passed their defense already i feel so...sad. sad for myself and for everyone that's going to be left behind. at a certain point i felt mad, mad at myself for not exerting effort for the thesis. i guess i lost the drive that i had way back in ctthes1. i wish i could get it back. please. i want it back. i NEED it back. congratulations to those who passed! ^_^ i hope i'll be able to watch you guys march on june. one day, i'll be marching too. i can't wait. but for now, i have to be INTERESTED in our thesis again. God help me. post comment

of books and kate [23 Jan 2005|06:42pm] these are the books that i've read (the ones that i can remember that is..) - angels & demons - the mark i want to read the WHOLE series, but they seem pretty expensive. there's more than 10 of them and they're not yet done. argh! that's a lot of work in portraying the book of the revelations! - harry potter 1-5 (waiting for 6..) - the lord of the rings (1-3) comment: i never got around to reading 'the hobbit'. they also say there is an epilogue but i can't find one. *shrugs* - little women - sweet valley (kids, high university. NAME IT!) - goosebumps (but i can't remember the story anymore.) - hardy boys (book report way back in gradeschool.) - nancy drew (same with hardy boys) i have a copy of 'through the looking glass'. it's the prequel to 'alice in wonderland' (i think). but even if it is really thin i never got around to reading it, probably because i don't have the sequel. hahahaha! i bought a book this afternoon called 'eyes in the attic'. it's in the kids section and after i read it i'll probably give it to my little sister to read. hahaha! toodles! 1 comment|post comment

Christmas. [24 Dec 2004|03:51pm] [ mood | weird ] Christmas this year would have the be the saddest and weirdest Christmas i've ever had. Why? 1. Mom, kim, kellyn & me are the only ones in the house. 2. Dad had plans for us but he had to leave. No choice. 3. We are going to lock ourselves up at home tomorrow. Christmas day. 4. We won't have the usual extravagant noche buena filled with lotsa lotsa food. I miss that. 5. My uncle just died a couple of days ago. 6. My mom and our helper had a fight. 7. Money. yup. this is a very weird Christmas. but God just won't allow me to be totally unhappy this Christmas.. i'm glad i have bonakid... ^_^ thanks by but to everyone out there... HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!! ^_^ May ou find peace and happiness this Christmas! God bless you all! *mwah* post comment

sorry? [18 Dec 2004|09:30pm] [ mood | blah ] krissie approached me this afternoon and apologized for everything.. i guess it was obvious that i wasn't really buying what she is saying.. i was in a bad mood, talk about good timing.. anyway, i appreciate the gesture.. and just like what i said to her.. i don't hate her, but i don't trust her.. trust is just too big to give up again.. jam made a comment to my lj entry asking me to visit a link if i had the time.. i clicked on the link and it was one of her entries.. that entry was all about apologies to friends..specifically, me&steven.. ...silence... I don't know if you still have room in your heart to forgive me, but I'm asking you anyway. Can you still forgive me? I still am hoping we can be friends again, even if it means going back to square one. I know it will take a while for you to trust in me again, but I'm willing to earn it, if you are willing to give our friendship a chance. i can forgive but i cannot forget..being friends again requires trust..and that is THE ONE THING that i cannot give to her anymore..talk about being heartless huh? i just don't want to be the emotional wreck that i was before..i don't want to risk my now, thankfully, stable life to be screwed up again by the very people i trust.. to be brutally honest, i am happy she's not part of my life anymore..she's just part of the past, end of story.. i think she and her friends already messed up my life too much that the best we could ever be is the way me&kat are right now..talking to each other like mere acquaintances..coz that's what we are.. i cannot trust her..not now..not in the near future.. she just happened to be the very person i used to trust the most.. believe it or not, there was a point where i trusted her more than bonakid.. but she screwed me up big time..even going to the extent of hacking my accounts (mail&journal) and actually sending bits&pieces of my journal entries to her "friends".. having to go through all that sucks big time..and i'm not about to risk having to go through the same thing again.. it's JUST NOT HAPPENING.. call me heartless..call me whatever you want to call me.. but it's not happening..we can't be friends..we can just be acquaintances.. that's the best there is right now.. over.. to the one concerned..i guess you get the picture.. i'll tell you what i told krissie.. i don't hate you..but i don't trust you.. that goes the same for you.. 2 comments|post comment

this week.. [18 Dec 2004|09:00pm] [ mood | accomplished ] this week is a rollercoaster ride! why exactly?

hustle!!! [14 Dec 2004|01:57am] [ mood | drained ] look at the time! why the hell am i still up? i'll explain it as fast as i could coz i'm damn sleepy... 1. g&w assignment due tomorrow that i just finished in uhm 4 hours..that's editing information more than 600 people (ccs & coe). i wish i had more time coz i'm kinda oc with these things but i really really really need to pass this on time so less oc-ness (weh??) so why did i just do that? i had saturday and sunday right? WRONG! saturday.. my sister's christening and our house blessing.. my hands were full from morning till morning of the next day.. hehehe! you see, i was the "official photographer" yet again. .and then the barkada came.. we ate, chatted, sang and later on watched a movie, strolled and watched the manny pacquiao fight with of course lots of chatting on top..weheheh! that was really fun, especially the neo print part! you should see our neo print, we had these weird faces coz 6 shots were taken in succession.. it was hilarious! they stayed at our place till around 1230 (without ra & deric though, sometimes curfews suck! >.<) nway, so we had fun and we had the picture taking we've been planning for three years done in less than 15 mins.. oh yeah! heheheh! sunday.. my cousins, aunts and uncles were still around so i can't really go in front of the pc in peace.. someone will always ask "where is this? where is that? wanna join us? what are you doing? yadda yadda yadda!" so, i ended up being the official yaya of gosh..lots of kids >.< in the evening my cousins were trying to persuade my dad to give us all a trip to star city.. my dad gave in saying it would be his despedida anyway... so off we went to star city.. as usual im the official yaya for mikee... but it was fun..we went into, well, kiddie rides... hey! what do you expect? we can't ride the rollercoaster with two 9 year olds! heheheh! we arrived back at home at around 1:30 and off to bed... today.. dad is leaving.. my mom and dad have to arrange a bunch of things so they have to leave home quite early.. dad woke me up at 7 >.< i had to take care of kellyn..our helper is currently washing our clothes then so i have no choice.. it's not that i don't like taking care of my sister, it's just that i don't know how exactly to take care of her.. i still don't want to carry her coz she's so small and fragile and man she kicks HARD!!! i was kicked in the fae i think thrice in the past month... geez, i'm such a loser.. so when our helper was done with the clothes she went to take care of kellyn and i dozed off hey! don't blame me i was freaking tired and sleepy.. so there, when mom and dad arrived mom asked me to accompany her in sending dad to the airport.. i didn't want to coz i'm EXTREMELY attached to my dad and i don't want him to feel extremely bad of leaving before christmas.. it's bad enough that he was able to take care of kellyn for a mere month.. so we had to leave at 4, we arrived at the airport at 7.. dad checked in at 830 coz the inspections were crazy since they're landing on new orleans.. we waited for a taxi till 9 and since traffic was insane we got here at 10 and that's when i started with the editing.. yeah..i'm insane.. post comment

dumdeedum [25 Nov 2004|12:04pm] [ mood | hopeful ] and so i begin to rant.. well not really.. i'm not EXACTLY ranting, i just want to say what's in my head right now.. i haven't seen my lj friends journals yet.. hmm..maybe i should start blog hopping? but that could get me into trouble AGAIN.. so what? it's not like im hacking on their journal? i;m just, looking around..besides, they posted those on PUBLIC view for all the world to see..so why worry? right? then again, there are just some people who are (for some reason) plain unreasonable.. that sounds really confusing.. let me reinstate that.. there are people who post stuff in PUBLIC view, then go ballistic when they found out that someone was able to read their entry..i think they're either ignorant or just plain STUPID.. tsktsktsk! good luck! i think i still have issues.. this may sound really weird..but what the hell? i saw ***** and, it just didn't feel right.. i felt what i felt the first time i read THE blog.. is that bad? i said i was over the whole thing more than 5 times already!!! but howcome i feel this way? i just don't understand.. i don't wanna see any of them, seeing them makes me feel really really REALLY bad.. am i still wallowing? am i insecure? am i holding a grudge? or am i just plain weird??? I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW! but i do know one thing, i'm ok with kat&steven.. maybe because they said sorry? hmm..maybe..i can only assume.. trust is a very big thing..you HAVE to earn it..and throwing it out on the window signals the end of it..it's a HUGE thing.. am i loser for not watching the incredibles? i've been wanting to watch the freaking movie the moment i saw the trailer..and now, i can't watch it... DARN RELSFOR!!! DARN FILIPI2!!! DARN NFOSYST!!! DARN ALL TIME CONSUMERS!!! anyway, i want to watch it..so i WILL watch it.. there's a transport strike today but we're not affected..we ride a bus and those buses have their own gasoline station so they're not affected by oil price hikes except in the world market..am i saying it right? hehehe! oh well, good luck to those who have to take a jeep.. this is the hard part... last tuesday we enrolled online..and we did NOT enroll in ctthes2.. i'm just sad because i know most of us will graduate by june..but we will be left behind until october..HE will graduate in june, I will be left till october..i know that once we graduate it does not guarantee that we will end up in the same company..but now that it's becoming clearer to me, it is scaring me..because once we accept that diploma on-stage..EVERYTHING will change..and i mean everything..it's just so scary.. besides, i still don't know where i'm good at? my first option is to apply for GAME MASTER at levelupgames.ph, i know it's pathetic but i like the job..i like what they do and i think i would be productive there.. i like building my website, although i abandoned mine, i like doing stuff like that.. i'm not good at circuits, i barely survived my CE subjects getting mostly 1.0's.. i can work with databases but they are a HUGE pain in the rear.. >.< programming, i can do but i'm not very keen on that one..i enjoy programming (sometimes) but it can be really exhausting if you're trying to beat deadlines..from what i've been hearing, deadlines are NOT NEGOTIABLE and projects are NOT EASY..scary.. we'll all be graduating in less than a year.. question is, where will we end up? will we (and i mean all) still see each other after graduation? will our friendship be that strong? ..i hope things would work out fine.. 1 comment|post comment

9th... [18 Nov 2004|03:21pm] [ mood | bored ] tomorrow...9th.. hmm...bilis ah! nway, today is..well, not really eventful..it's actually BORING.. i had to type in the three page resume of my dad.. /omg it was looong..i never thought i would be able to read a resume as long as that! an entire page was filled with the seminars that he had gone through (all of which are still not expired) then a page and a half was filled with his work experience..meaning, 1 & 1/2 page filled with his contracts on board different ships.. i recognize most of the ship names like AMBASSADOR NORRIS (his last 2 contracts was spent there), CAPE HORN (the one that blew up a month after he left the ship due to the recklessness of the chief mate that replaced him), MIDNIGHT SUN (the 2nd ship he boarded when he transferred to hammonia) and NAPARIMA (the 1st ship he boarded when he transferred to hammonia from stolt).. he's going to apply on a new company (MICHAELMAR), those guys have een calling us NON-STOP for the past six months.. boy, are they persistent or what? anyway, i think he'll pass coz he was recommended there in the first place.. besides, why would they bother calling us non-stop if they're just gonna turn him down? perks at that company? allowance during vacation... WOOOHOOO!!! allowance for seminars and free seminars.. OH YEAH!!! best of all, HIGHER PAY!!! my dad deserves it.. hammonia values him, sure they do, but they don't value him enough to give him the raise he deserves.. tsktsktsk...their loss.. enough about my dad... physics was freaking boring.. after that we ate lunch (agno food again!!!) i bought a chocolate cake from marco and ianne and they gave me a pouch for my cellphone.. hahahahah! it was cute though coz it had a bear on it.. weeeee!! marianne kellyn is a week old yesterday.. she's really funny.. when she wants to wake up yet her eyes won't let her, she peeks with one eye then smiles...
