Weird

I feel kind of weird today.

There was a delay this morning on mrt. It stopped intermittently and ran slow, and we don't know why. I thought I'll be late for my morning class but I made it just on time. There was my student who came in late for my class and he was like so misbehaving and really trying to annoy me and testing my patience. I told him he won't succeed because I know how to get even. But it was a jocular statement so it was taken as light.

I was very sleepy during my afternoon class because the ambience was so inviting me to sleep and the subject is darn boring (don't ask!). And since most classes here are not participative, I sort of have mastered the art of spieling-around-to-kill-time. But of course I make sure to make sense.

And geez, I was so out of kilter today and probably tomorrow until we get settled to move in to our new place! We are not all packed, commitments here and there, petty job requests and all. I don't know what, where, and how to start. Well, I know of course. I am just preoccupied with our shifting of place, not mention my professional dilemma.

I brought a medium-sized box from office. I know it's so jologs to carry it so to give myself less shame, I took a bus instead of mrt, well with a friend. You can see some eyes trying to follow you even from afar but who the hell cares. At least I still smell fresh even in the afternoon so please gimme a break!

I still have some few kwentos to blog but I'll just do it once I'm done uploading some pics to appropriate it.

I'm glad Don uploaded the songs I've been longing to hear for quite some time. Thanks Dongie.

Hold On

  • Unbelievable! For the last two days, I have been hit with LSS of Wilson Philip's Hold On! Especially the chorus, "Someday somebody gonna make you wanna turn around and say goodbye. Too late baby are you gonna let them hold you down and make you cry." Well because at first, I got challenge on how you actually sing that part 'coz it's sort of tongue-twisting. It's fast. And now I'm stuck. I enjoying singing it but it's annoying when I have to sing that involuntarily.
  • Last night on the mrt on my way home, there was this mid 30's woman who still got a pager! Yeah, I was like "is this for real?!?". She doesn't look like a doctor so I wonder what keeps her keeps that.
  • Subway craze. Since Tuesday, my dinner's been Subway. Again, for lack of other choices ('coz I swear I'm getting sick of eating the same limited choices of food in food junction), I always resort to going in Raffles City basement for subway.
    My Subway:
    Bread: Honey Oat
    Sandwich: Subway Melt or Subway Club
    Dressing: Honey Mustard
    Veggies: Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber
    Cookie: White ChocoChip Macadamia

    I tried wrap last night and I would still prefer bread than that. It gave me lots of floss!

New Record Set

I think, so far, today was my record-breaking longest office-hours stay in my current company. I arrived 8:00am and went home nearly 10:00pm. I had one stand-in class and I have created 2 posters, 2 e-blast flyers, and other stuff. It's really harassing and exhausting, but I miss this kind of pacing though. I know when I am totally occupied if I don't even get to check my personal emails until I get home!

Something annoyingly funny happened before I went home tonight. That was I think almost 9pm when my office phone rang and there was my colleague giving me a job request. Wow! I was like, "how did you know I'm still here?!?" and he just did try his luck. Lucky him. Not me. really. It was just slightly minor though I wasn't able to finish another poster coz of that.

I was invited for another photoshoot some time 2nd week of September. It's TFCD and it should be fine. I'm enjoying it anyway. Stress reliever for me somehow.

I heard it's IT Roadshow this end of August. I hope I can get a great deal. Speaking of deal, I think I am ready to deal with my dilemma in the office. Hope it takes.

Spur of the Moment


Eve of NDP, I had a meeting with CFC about their upcoming Marriage Encounter Retreat on 18 Aug. I was supposed to go to Lloyd's place after that because it'z only few stations away anyway (in north). I changed plan since I don't think I will enjoy silence at Lloyd's which was quite observable even over the phone when I gave him a call. So instead, I called up my friend Jess so we can meet somewhere in Dhoby Ghaut. Good thing my call reached her just in time! Coz she's on her way home.

Not surprising the myriad of people all over city area! Every Friday the scenario is like that. Crowd looming like ants. But that night, it was even terrible! Oh the hell. But it's much fun this time coz it's holiday the following day anyways.

So we head on to Starbucks at HSBS Place and stayed there for few minutes, chitchat and all. We thought of going to Giraffe, it's a bar along Orchard Road almost across Plaza Singapura but the ambience looks like it's expensive there so we end up in SB.

Of course pictures will always be a requirement!


(I hope I can remove the background color).

Then last Monday, my friend Ella Umbrella (that's how I call her after Sg made that song famous here) invited me to watch Rush Hour 3 after office and it's really right after office (5:45pm) in The Cathay and we were also rushing going there! But we made it just in time for the film.

We had dinner afterwards at the basement, and that's were I got my hyperacidity and indigestion. I hate it. I suffered for few days. But I'm okay now.

We went of the moviehouse around 9ish and of course, took pictures!

That's us in silhouette (our hands as rabbit and dog hehe), and The Simpson's Family outside the theatre. I am not a fan of Simpson (and so I didn't watch it) but they are so adorable here I can't help but take souvenir.

That's all. bye.

Sentosa Fellowship

Last Saturday my bros and I went to Sentosa for a Unit Fellowhip (SFC). Well, I should say it could have been as much fun if only more people made it that day. Most of them got instant reasons for not coming. But it's alright anyway.

Since I'm not a beach person, and surprisingly, all volleyball nets were taken out that time and we don't know why, I just thought to find something else to do. We did few games and stuff until I took hold of my friend digicam and start taking shots.

So there, I selected some pictures I can post here.

A few days back, I had a realization. Well, I love taking pictures and be on the pic myself. And when resources permit me in the future, I would like to focus on Portrait Photography. I don't know if there's another name for that. I feel like I can see people's emotions and thoughts by merely looking closely on their eyes. I can see someone's success and failures through their elegant wrinkles and natural aging spots. I don't know why I had that instant spunk on such work of art.

And then someday, I'm gonna have my own gallery of portraits, just like Julia Roberts' in Closer (with Portman, Owen, and Law).

Dreams. Ambitions. Makes you go on in life. What a fuel!

What Major Is Right For You?

Syempre I got this from Lola Don na Registrar na din pala ngayon. Well, honestly, the set of questionnaires can make you anticipate the results and it could greatly influence you in one way or another. Say for my case, Education/Counseling went up before Journalism/Comm. Although I expected it would come, I just didn't realize I was more into counseling when I am at times moody myself.

In any case, this helps me realize what I love and still love doing! Read on.


You scored as Visual&PerformingArts, You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in the Visual or Performing Arts (e.g., Art, Art Education, Art History, Ceramics, Culinary Arts, Dance, Drawing, Fashion Design, Film, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Marketing (advertising), Music, Music Education, Music Theory, Painting, Photography, Theatre).

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.

Charan!

I could not believe I have created a new blog account under Multiply. I mean, Blogger is enough with me. I guess lately I have been wanting to try something new, exploring and all. Geez, someone's really loving variety here.

Anyways, I hope my Multiply account can make a difference though since I can upload music and other stuff I can't possibly do in Blogger. But writings should be the same. In fact, I link both blog accounts so noone gets outdated.

I have received a few invites before of Multiply but just finally made it now after I got another one recently from Don Bagsit.
