Morning Habit

For two consecutive mornings, I feel like I was chasing a horse as I ran so very fast just to catch up with the mrt. As soon as the indicator posted “Pasir Ris: 1 min”, I quickly panic and run my breath for the train. And everytime I do that, I feel like the things are changing around me. From a corporate attire, I imagine myself running on a race, on my best rubber shoes attire. I can also imagine the train door with a ribbon while it’s widely open and I pass through it feeling like a champ. Wow! My morning fantasy is brightening up my day. And I never fail on that. I mean, I always beat that 1-min approaching-train. I feel good doing that you know. It thrills me. A good morning stimulant I must say. Only that I need water for my dry throat.


I’m still a bit bored in my office. And today I think it will be worse because our network is down. I can’t even open network files! Internet’s what keeps me somehow alive everyday and now that it’s temporarily unavailable, I don’t know how to end this day. Sometimes I feel more stressed doing nothing. It’s kind of an odd feeling but I think it’s possible. I’d rather get occupied with office works while in the office than fly my mind somewhere else and worry too much with things that’s just about to happen. For me, idleness just activates my switch to prejudices.

Goin Crazy for Robbie!

Hahaha kakatawa naman ang title ko!

Last Friday my eyes almost popped out when I saw this posters from City Hall MRT station that Robbie William's gonna have his concert here at National Stadium. I saw that from our school window and to make myself more convinced, I went down and come nearer to the poster to see the entire details about his concert. And yes, he's gonna rock SG on November 18, 2006.

But I need to hurry up reserving few seats for me and my friends. Online booking will be opened for public yet on June 19-21 and that's it. June 15-18 is reserved for VIP and priority users of www.sistic.com and bad trip talaga yun. Kaya pala I can't make any reservation last Friday. The site keeps asking me about a password I don't even know where to get. Hay...The first thing I'll do on Monday is to get myself a slot for the concert.

I heard that Robbie's concert is really a record breaking event. He can sell out all his ticket in a matter of one hour! Imagine, it's on June and their selling ticket only until June 21! And the concert is on November! Hay talaga...

I hope I can still get a seat...I'll watch it even by alone if nobody wants to join me. Robbie rocks woohoo!

All in One

Ok so I must admit now that I really miss blogging because 1) all personal- and dating- sites are blocked in our office, including google mainly due for its google desktop feature, and 2) I'm usually dead tired when I go home at night. So while waiting for weekend, which notebook would be more accessible to me, I listed down some few things worth sharing.

  1. Not sure if I got this so old but finally, a living proof has finally surfaced if Coke and Mentos is a perfect combination. After a thread of discussion splurged here and there, an experiment has been done to see what happens when a menty is combined to cola. Science says it all. www.eepybird.com/science1.html
  2. Last Thursday, we gave a surprised birthday party to Ate Ellen, one of our co-SFC here in Singapore. Aside from the sumptuous food and bonding I enjoyed that night, I also got recharged somehow on her place. Their place though inside the urban is so fresh with the trees and all.
  3. Last Friday I had lunch with my bosses and an outgoing colleague of mine at Uma Uma Men, a Japanese resto here in SG. They shared me a sushi and a beancurd as appetizers and I took salmon for my meal. Buti na lang it was a treat from our boss otherwise I don't know how to pay for my share. Wala kasi me pera that time hehehe.
  4. One thing I really enjoyed here in SG is when you are on that moment where you need to catch up wit buses and train. One morning I'm still a few meters away from the MRT, I saw this signage saying the train will arrive in 2 mins. I was really catching up with my breath that time because I was almost late. Enjoy talaga pag nahabol mo ang train hehe.

This Is It

I went back home to the Pinas last week to fix some things which I was not able to actually, and do get some of my stuff I can bring here. I had a tough stay out there due to some work-related issues at my recent company. Though, I was able to accomplish some few things. There are also some things I did not want to miss while I was there.

  1. Jollibee
  2. Chowking
  3. Tokyo Tokyo
  4. Jeepney
  5. Traffic jam but not too much of it
  6. SM
  7. Beer!
  8. Lighting sticks of my friends hehe
  9. Videoke!
  10. Family and friends

It's really hard when you're stay is limited that you would want to meet everybody you miss, go visit places and all.

I went to La Salle pala to get some credentials and I reall y had fun there. I miss the crowd. The fashionistas and the conios moseying around the campus. And I miss the tambayan behind the postgrad building, and the food there of course. That's why I took my snack there and mingled with some few tambays there. I met this group of 3 with one of them just on her first sem in MSIT. I shared some few words of encouragement...and discouragement too hehehe.

I'm supposed to make kwento here about my first few days at work but I guess it'll be on my next blog because I'm kinda sleepy now. It's past 12am and still need to be at work later. I can't afford to be late especially when you're still under observation. :) And my bosses desk beside me. :)
