Rainy Days and Mondays get me Down
Mood: Not enough tissues in the world. *HONK!*
Theme Song: Stupid Girl - Garbage
Color: Black (does it ever change?)
It's Monday, and I'm sniffling at work, because I've just caught Josh's cold. Great...
Saturday was good though. Got off work (i asked permission, besides, i'm supposed to be having fun this summer! and i love Moog!!!) Anyway, spent the day resting (aka vegging out). The night before I was the only one in the house because the 1st class cadets (graduating class) of my church had a retreat and my family was with them (my parents organized). So all alone, not even that scared of the dark, I kept Pola ( our Yorkie ) company and trusted Elvis ( handsome dalmatian) to guard us.
Was supposed to have lunch with Chevy on Saturday but i was re-reading this book so by the time I finished, I was running late. So cancelled our date (i could see Chev grumbling at me in my head) and went to town to borrow some more books. Me and Chev really like books by Meg Cabot, the author of Princess Diaries. She's really good but it's kinda weird for us to admit she's one of our favorite authors because that's practically tantamount to saying "I like Harry Potter" ("like... duh! you poor sheep!" --my usual response) But she is!!! Anyway, borrowed another Meg Cabot book (for older audiences now), "Boy Meets Girl" which is really sweet and proves yet again what an unlikely sap I am. I stayed in Honey in the Rock (so much smaller now after their renovation) from after lunch to around 8 just reading (of course I ate too. Coffee, cake and dinner - aubergines/eggplant, tomatoes and spinach covered in mozzarella. heaven!), and I almost finished the book.
Moved to Porta Vaga at 8ish coz Honey in the Rock was closing, met up with Chev, who had dinner at this inexpensive Japanese place and I kept on reading. Celery ( Ceres Marie - friend for TRLA) joined us at around 9 and I had to put my book down. Reluctantly... Celery and I were going to the Reggae Ska Fest on the roofdeck so I had to.
I was a little dizzy by that time because I had drunk too much. Iced tea lang naman, me and Chev ordered bottomless iced tea, but they were closing so I rushed through 3-4 glasses just to be sulit (and to think it only cost P30.00 -->shows how chipipay i am). So I got a brain freeze and nausea. Stupid me... So i was feeling drunk on absolutely no alcohol. Great. Such a good girl!
So anyway, Chev went ahead (she had a violin thing the next day so couldn't stay up late) while me and Celery caught up. (Haven't seen each other in months) And I was reminded of why I am single : Boys are way too much bother. Have enough problems as it is. 'Nuff said.
At 10ish we went to the Roofdeck coz the thing was starting. The girl who took my money (i thought it was free... apparently not. Ssigh!) recognized me. Apparently it was Bryant's sister. Bryant was a guy I met at this Christian youth conference I attended during my gap year, run by CCC. He was nice but... well... Let's leave it at that. (See Chev! I can be un-nasty if I want!!!) The one thing I remember about that guy is that at my 18th birthday when I had some girlfriends over (and some of my mums' friends too --> titas give good prezzies) he gatecrashed (okay, he dropped by the house and he didn't know about my all-girls get together) bearing gifts. Flowers for my mum and my sister and this huge bright pink stuffed dog for me. (It was big and ug.... not that nice. I'm trying, Chev!!!) Called it Strawberry, and it's still with us today. I think it's either under Chev's bed or in her closet...
Enough with the tangent thoughts. Back to the "concert" (me and Chev had another argument about the definition of concert last night) : my friend Conrad's band was playing first. I had spent six years of my life with him... In grade school... (Kala niyo iba noh?!) He's got dreads now. They were okay but there were no crushables on his band (lemme just say that was me being nice). The other bands that played were also pretty good. Crushables... well if there were any they were short. Except for this tall skinny logistics guy in a red shirt (Duh! they were all wearing red shirts!) who was kinda cute.
Stop it with the boys already, Ror'!
It was my first time at a reggae/ska anything, so when i say their dance, naaliw ako (I was amused). So cute!!! By the time the second-to-the last band was playing, me and Ceres were boogieing on the (half-empty) dance floor. The fact that I have very few friends in Baguio does wonders for lowering whatever inhibitions I may have left. Basta, I had fun! Who cares what people think anyway right? Okay... maybe it's my histrionic personality asserting itself again.
Got home at two, took a cab and my dad allowed me --> miracle of miracles! Actually the whole night was very... special because my dad's really strict/protective (military man, what else would ya expect?) and it's the first time in my life that I went out in Baguio with permission (there was this one time when I was 16 but the "permission" there was the result of miscommunication).
Sunday was hard. I had little sleep because had to be at church without excuse at 8:30. Good thing one of the good speakers was giving the message or else I'd have been hitting my nose of the floor and injuring myself AGAIN. Good thing, my dad was on the front page of the Inquirer yesterday. It was about the reforms in the military, which he's been spearheading for the longest time and he gets paractically no credit for it (his bosses always get it, and he doesn't even really mind!) So I was very pleased with the article and even prouder (if that's possible) of my dad. So you can see why my standards for men are really high.
Anyway, that's it. I'm tearing in front of my monitor waiting for my site to upload to the intranet. They've allowed me to go home early to rest. (Again, I love Moog!)
Apparently I'm histrionic
DisorderRating Paranoid Disorder: Low Schizoid Disorder: Low Schizotypal Disorder: Moderate Antisocial Disorder: Moderate Borderline Disorder: Moderate Histrionic Disorder: Very High Narcissistic Disorder: High Avoidant Disorder: Low Dependent Disorder: Low Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: High
Quick Summary:
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.
Symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder:
- Needs to be the center of attention
- Dresses or acts provocatively
- Rapidly-shifting and shallow emotions
- Exaggerates friendships
- Overly-dramatic, occassionally theatrical speech

total klutz
Monday: I broke my computer table. The slidy thing for the keyboard got jolted and fell out, and I spent the better part of half an hour fixing it. Saw fresh frog meat by the airport, but it looked as if it had been flattened by a car, not a plane. (Not flat enough to have been done in by a plane or even a helicopter...)
Tuesday: Skidded down the steep rocky path as I was walking to work. This wretch of a german shepherd (alsatian to you Brits) barks at me without fail every singly time I pass by. I was distracted, skidded on the slippery rocks and skinned my knee. Oh well... At least I was able to make friends with the people from the Clinic... *Sigh*
Wednesday: Again on the way to work, was passing by the checkpoint. It's got the gate that goes up to let cars pass through. Well, I ducked under it but snagged the back of my neck on something really hard. Now my nape is sore... Dagnabbit... Have been pretty depressed lately, with the loss of my summer, lack of decent landscape (my euphemism for "NO CUTE GUYS AROUND!") and the fact that me and John broke up +padloc (our team for ugotgame) coz it's just impossible... Practicum is keeping both of us busy and the fact that we're in different zip codes doesn't make things any easier.
This is so not my week...
Oh well, I decided to start a blog in french today. Wonder how long I'll keep it up. Check it out here... http://pardon-myfrench.blogspot.com Oh and by the way, the theme is "eau de toilette" --> You'll get it when you see the site. Buwahahaha! :-)
And I bought a French DVD "Shut Up" (Tais-toi) starring Jean Reno and Gerard Depardieu. I have yet to watch it. I think I'll go home on time today (usually I go overtime) and watch it...
Oh, forgot to post some great news. Thanks to the wonders of msn messenger, i've been catching up with some of my mates from England. Isn't that fab?! Apparently some of them are even regular visitors to my blog! Whoohooo!! ^.__.^
Some casual observations. My corner here at work is right next to the photocopiers, and I have this monster trash can right beside my desk (as in it's RIGHT BESIDE ME PRACTICALLY), which fortunately only holds paper refuse. Anyway, loadsa people pass by to use the machines and such. And the traffic has refreshed my memory of that unpleasant sour smell most men have.
Not nice. Not nice at all...
Excuse me while try to find a gas mask.
"Needs" - Collective Soul
All around me I see what weakness has made
Too much tomorrow I think I'll take all today
Am I a poison, Am I a thorn in the side
Am I picture perfect subject tonight
I don't need nobody
I don't need the weight of words
To crash on thru
I don't need nobody
I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into
Here I slumber to awaken my daze
I find convenience in this savior I save
Am I a prison, Am I a source of dire news
Am I a picture perfect reason for you
I don't need nobody
I don't need the weight of words
To crash on thru
I don't need nobody
I just need to learn the depth or doubt
Of faith to fall into
In this time of substitute
It's my needs I've answered to (All the while)
And the hope that I invest
Still turns to signals of distress (All the while)
revamped site
And i expose my love of frogs for all the world to see...
Our parents arrived yesterday, and they brung gifts. Shoes (really nice sandals for school) and a bag (purple!!!) and this really soft fluffy sweater from Old Navy that's for kids and the arms are too short for Chevy (there are perks to being shorter than her after all!) so she passed it on to me. It's white and so fluffy! Chev's been calling me Marshmallow!
Workwise, it's okay. No scary people as yet. Plus my daily walk to and from work will hopefully have me really fit by the end of this! It's a 30-minute walk downhill going to work and 45-minute hike going uphill (the same route!). I have to go through the airport runway, past a small village and into the mountains where PMA is. The slope on the mountain is really steep in some parts. Imagine walking up a 45-degree angle for a kilometer. Fun!!
My PC and Boadicea (my bass) arrived yesterday. I can begin living again!!!
Life is good when you have technology on your side...
working... daw!
1st post of the month. Amazing.
Working at Moog, designing webpage for Moog Philippines to go on their intranet which covers eight countries. Fun so far.
Cuties... nada. nil. zip. zero.
Which is fine. Really, it is...
Freaky "friendly" old fogeys: quite a lot. Kinda scary, but I'm learning how to be scary gracefully.
Good news: Me and john were getting frazzled because our game entry was due this thurs, but apparently they moved it to next thursday. Whoohoo!!! Now if only we can make it, deadline extension and all. The problem is he's doing practically everything (poor programmers get all the fun) and me (useless artist) can do nothing more than send encouraging vibes from Baguio to Manila. Great...
Chevy's okay, Josh is also fine. They can get a bit bratty, but that's to be expected from all sibling relationships. We're orphans for the week. My mum's still in Davao, my dad's gone down to Manila to pick her up and have meetings and all that crap. They're coming back up to Baguio this Friday, so we're totally free until then.
Now if only I was the partying type, then I could go out and boogie or something. But I'm not!!! Ror, you're such a nerd.
And proud of it, baybeh!!
Btw, I got on the Dean's List again. Wasn't expecting it AT ALL, but I'm not complaining.
Jen's in Europe... I miss England.
Last night I dreamt I caught Pola's fleas. Please no!
Work is fine. No distractions. Please feel free to distract ANYTIME. :D
