More Potato

And so it happened. After checking emails and non-sense chatting this morning, I took lunch and bathe and went to video shop. I was with Alfie, my friendly-neighborhood Ella umbella's bf, and we're trying to pick flicks we both have not seen yet. But the shop seems to lack oldies but goodies (which I insisted they should get it in the future) so we ended up picking 300, Red Eye, and School Ties. I think the latter was the oldest of the three. And we watched 300.

Now it's half past seven and I thought of what awaits me tomorrow at work after being off today. But that is something to be avoided, thinking of what to happen tomorrow, coz it makes you twice as worried. And so I did.

I ponder though on why I called an off from work today. Have I become intrepid enough not to attend to work when I know I have some things to do? Hmmm..maybe not. Or maybe so. I just realized (which wasn't my plan) that today is only my free day this week. No classes. But non-teaching work? yeah i have. It's never-ending, especially when you work with Sales and Marketing people who nonetheless attend to things so unprepared, like going to jump without parachute. And here I am, forced to catch them on a trampoline. That's how I make money now. We all have a choice, yeah right. But for the time being, that right choice is set to side. Sacrifice. That's it. That's the word.

But true enough, there's more to life than work. And true happiness will never be fungible to work less rewarding.

So there. I rested today. And it feels good. It's supernal. Thank God.

Couch Potato

I didn't go to work today simply because I got hit by monday sickness, though my jaw hurts a bit because of my usual tmj syndrome that caused my headache too.

But I just woke up this morning the usual time and at the spur of the moment I just told myself, "Stay at home and watch movies". There you go. I'll just do some catching ups with films I missed. I go check some dvds in a while. I also invited my friend to come by so I don't need to practice soliloquy when I want to speak.

Last night I watched Good Will Hunting and it was really a deep, intelligent film. Let me add that to my fave list. And coincidentally, my all-time fave film has got something in common with GWH. Robin W played Sean Maguire as Tom C played Jerry Maguire. Nothing.

Last Saturday I was kinda late for am work. I just updated my ipod with some new playlists of different delight. Now I can play group of songs that would match my mood. I spent my entire Saturday to Lloy'd friend after work. I was supposed to meet a friend in Harborfrount that evening but it didn't take. But that's alright because I spent more time with some few friends I missed.

Ok enough of back track. I'm bored. I hate it.

Lagare

Last Friday, after SFC Teaching Night (that was about 10ish), I went to Giraffe for my Filipino student's birthday celebration. It was cozy there. The bar is surrounded by waters. I was quite tired that night and wasn't really feeling well, but I sort of brushed some of their invitations in the past and I want to make up that time and so I showed up.

I didn't make it to office the following day 'coz I feel like I didn't recover at all. But in the afternoon, I went on to SFC volleyball coz I needed to be there. We played from around 3pm to 430pm then gone to bowling tournament afterwards. It was fun.

Later that day, I went to Sunny Spring Condo for Waway's birthday. I had fun as well. His friends are so cool especially Tolits who owned the stage that night for his powerful and melodic voice. I went home 1ish and good thing I still got to see our friends at home who paid us a visit. Lenie and her mom, Jeny and Jason, Sir Jonjon and James. We took some funny group pictures I'm gonna post some time soon.

And today, Sunday, I'm a big couch potato. I wish there's one more free day than 2 weekends.

Instant Obsolescence

Great. Apple recently releases its new iPod product lines. They got this iPod Nano that's as twice wider than the first one, then iPod Classic remake, then iPod Touch! And I just bought my iPod video last December! Was I late. I haven't even played any videos on it. These new models also got a new screen layout. It's all here: http://www.apple.com.

Well, I want iPod Touch but I definitely don't need it now. Luxury. Out of list.

But I wish to get it soon. I hate it.

Intermission

Wow, it's been a while. I got busy, bored and been trying to find ways on how to get away with it. I kind of miss writing some few events happened in my recent past like:

• Kwentuhan session with my students
• Our shifting to our new place (bigger and better)
• Splurges at Ikea for home and room stuff
• Visit at Watch Fest (where I get to see up close to overly expensive never heard watches that costs millions and millions!)
• My recent photoshoot

And I'm sure some other things.

Well, I don't want to forget what I have to tell today. I watched movie together with Mike and Jess at The Cathay Ciniplex. I'd like to watch Ratatouille (it's long overdue I know) but end up seeing No Reservations instead since the guys did see Rata a week ago.

Oh, and I'm really breaking my record the past days for coming sooo early in the office. I am like 30 mins early for few consecutive days now. I guess that's really common for travellers who live far from office, either they get there so early or so late.

I'm so bored at work. Too much work makes me busy. No. I think it's the work itself. No. I guess it's the environment. Or the pay. Or maybe, it's me.

I think I want something new. Well, only God knows what's ahead. I just need to trust Him. And I do, despite uncertainties.

Ciao.
