ENOUGH!
POSTED AT 08:07 AM

At first it was cute. Then it started to lag. Now, it is just pure annoyance.

Why insist that someone is my boyfriend when he is not?

Ang sarap magmura! Mura! Mura! Mura! Mura! Mahal!

Seriuosly...

Ariel James Matela was NEVER my boyfriend. I was NEVER his girlfriend. We were NEVER in love. And we are NOT soulmates.

For Pete's Sake! Sobra naman ang pagkashowbiz niyan. Leave me alone!

Tama si Ariel, panira nga ito ng friendship. I don't know who started spreading it! You should get a life whoever you are!

I did say we had a history together. But "history" could mean a whole gamut of things. Malay niyo ba kung magkaaway kami. HELLO!!!

Just stop it! It's not funny anymore. It lost its appeal months ago! Please... Currently feeling: annoyed

Blessed bird protector?
POSTED AT 08:18 AM

Last Wednesday, Medel and I joined Councilor Leo Avila in an owl retrieval. A group of kids reportedly caught an owl and their neighbor took the owl from them and reported the incident to the councilor. It turned out to be a sub-adult grass owl.

Late that afternoon, Medel, Joseph and I joined Councilor Avila during the release of the bird at Davao Memorial since there was a good patch of green there.

Before we released the bird, I asked what the owl's name was. Councilor Avila said, Camille. hahaha...

Yesterday, we went on yet another bird retrieval. This time, we went to Kidapawan, about 3 hours away from Davao City. The team was composed of myself, Dodong, Kuya Edison and Mang Doming. We already had suspicions that it wasn't a Philippine eagle, but since it was a chick, we decided to go ahead and rescue the bird.

Kawawa naman. When we saw it, it was so stressed. And the DENR people didn't know how to handle the bird so they just kept on lifting it, and forcing it to stand. HELLO!!! It's only about two months old! You try making your two month old baby stand and see how you feel! Anyway, they were well-meaning. They just didn't know how to handle the bird.

We told them we would like to take the bird with us and keep it at the Center. It had no where else to go anyway. Wala namang rescue center ang DENR. So after consulting the Regional office, they let us take the bird.

While on our way home, biglang tumugtog yung Pamela 1 ek-ek song. Then Dodong started singing:

CAMELA 1 blah blah blah
CAMELA 2 blah blah blah

NGARKS!! hehehehe....

Then, biglang... something warm splattered all over us! The eaglet made poopoo. And the poopoo ricocheted off the styrobox and splattered on Dodong and myself since we had the box between us. HAHAHA... YUCK!! I had poopoo on my left sleeve. They say you're blessed if you get bird poo. Dodong must be so blessed by now since he had bird poo on his face. hahaha.. Laugh trip during our road trip.

Naturally, I named the eaglet Poopoo. hahaha... It was so fun. Kahit na yakadiri.

Bird flu
POSTED AT 02:57 PM

hahaha... magmumukha na akong bird. *looks at previous post*

i wanted to go watch a show yesterday. it's in tagum, about an hour bus ride away from the city. but i had bird flu (for lack of a better term). my parents did let me go, if i wanted to. but i saw that my mom, although, she gave me permission, didn't really want me to travel since i was sick and it was raining. so i stayed at home and watched the joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat play at CAP auditorium at night.

sayang lang talaga, i really was looking forward to that show. purl went ahead. she had a blast. i just called her and said hi to people.

i'm happy for her. i'm bitter for me.

now, on a sunday, i am in the office yet again.

i want my office days to be over. bring me back to the field quick.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

it was so nice chatting with dandan and anj. i missed the both of you so much. sa uulitin. and i am so looking forward to april. Currently feeling: sipon-full

I want a break (kitkat?)
POSTED AT 09:27 AM

Grrr... Yesterday, I was in the office from 1pm till 11 pm and I had bird flu.

Somebdoy please tell me, san yung hustisya dun?

This manual is causing too much problems in my life. It's been a cause of strees, of insults, of kung ano ano pang mga bagay na hindi dapat dinadaanan ng isang magandang babae tulad ko. Ay! hahaha...

Ok, let's face it. It's not in my nature to give a half-baked work. The cost doesn't matter sometimes. I just go out and do as I'm told. I admit, that's my problem. The people I was chatting with last night, Dandan, Anj, Pams, Melody, Anneskiii, Julie, Jhulz, Nheeenia and Gracie (sorry if I forgot anyone), kept on saying how hard-working and dedicated I was. I wanted to believe them so badly. hahaha...

I do love my job. I hope I didn't make it sound like working is really that bad. I love what I do. I really do. It's just the people that suck sometimes. Ay ewan. I don't know what I want to say anymore.

Anyway, I worked till 11. When I was trying to lock our door na sira ulo kasi ang hirap ma-lock, I pulled the handle out. hahaha.. SUPER-STRENGTH! And to think hindi pa ako nagdidinner nun ha. Buti na lang andun sila Kuya Mike. They helped me close the door kahit na tanggal na yung handle. hahahah...

Then, wala akong masakyan pauwi. Wala nang jeepney. I was waiting for a taxi pero wala eh. Good thing it wasn't raining. So I walked a block papunta sa kanto, and I felt strange and unsafe standing there. Then a taxi came along, when I got in, the driver seemed like he had something to drink. I can smell alcohol. So I was sitting there sa backseat, holding my umbrella tight, praying I'll get home alive. hahahah... I did obviously.

Then our dogs went crazy. Buti na lang gising pa mga brothers ko. They held the dogs while I got inside the gate. And I had yummy home-made enchiladas for dinner. It's so nice when I don't have to make it. Hahaha... I could live eating yummy enchiladas and pizza forever. hahaha...

And right now, I am back in the office. I really want a break. Somebody please bring me back to the field quick! Currently feeling: shabog

Bummer
POSTED AT 08:45 AM

Someone who bums? hahahah....

Wala lang! After working my ass off, I just found out yesterday that I won't be able to go to Manila this April. Oh well. That's life. I was so looking forward to that trip. I'd get to spend time with my lola, my cousins, my beautiful inaanak. I'd get to see my best friends and my barkada. And I, would finally have the chance to meet angels.

Ganyan talaga ang life. The good side is, balik field na ako.

Yahoo!!!

Excited na ako! Baka six months ako sa bundok. Who knows? Ang saya! hehehe.... Currently feeling: bummed

Thoughts
POSTED AT 08:55 AM

I have to stop.

I can't do this anymore.

It's bad for the soul.

Lord, please, help me get through this. I don't know what else to do.

Anyway...

Yesterday, Ruby told me (again) that I was crazy. hahahaha... shige!

*Note to self: keep craziness down a notch, they might get you institutionalized.

*Note to self: no institution would take you in.

*Note to self: if no institution would take you in, you don't really have to be less crazy do you?

*Note to self: stay as you are.

*Note to self: ignore all previous notes to self.

Hmmm... craziness shows.

Workaholic?
POSTED AT 12:48 AM

please... hindi pa naman ako workaholic diba?

i mean i am still in the office now and it is 12:49am. pero hindi ako workaholic diba?

kasi naman, i still do go out. i mean, i went out kanina with my college friends for dinner. then i went back to the office. hmmm...

hindi... hindi ako workaholic. i just do what needs to be done. i think. hahaha

upside, i got to chat with paula, dandan, pams, peachy, lexi, juls, jhulz, erwie, ingrid, anne, jeni, jeng, and maoi. if i forgot anyone, sorry ha. shabog na brain ko.

i got to chat with my pervert friend, chris also. hahaha... he's gonna kill me for saying that. he's the serial kisser. girls beware! hahaha... i love my chris. hahaha

ano pa?

ano nga ulit yung sleep? i have heard of that but i'm not sure if i know what it is. Currently feeling: shabog as usual


Thinking...
POSTED AT 08:47 AM

Wala lang. When I got home this morning, I was so tired I couldn't sleep.

Tapos parang kakapikit ko pa lang nag-alarm na yung cell ko. Ano ba yan! Nakakafrustrate...

Tapos, habang ka-chat ko so Paula kahapon, iniisip ko yung scheds ko. I just realized, I won't have a break anymore. Help me!

The one thing that sucks about my job, other than some people who I want to povell to the ground from time to time, is that it takes me away from all I love. I can live without a bathroom, electricity or even a decent bed. I can eat canned foods and dried fish everyday if I have to. What sucks, is I miss out on a whole lot in the lives of my family and friends. Well, at least I'm sure that when I get back, whenever that is, my family is still my family.

Sometimes I get scared that when I am back from my field work, my friends have moved on and changed so much that they won't want me anymore. Or that they have had so much fun without me that they won't see the point of having me around.

Wala lang. I guess being deprived of rest and sleep makes a person think crazy thoughts. Currently feeling: weird


March 14th, 2004

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

i got to chat with my yamyam, Denise. i haven't had the chance to talk with her for the longest time. and now, dahil i stayed in the office till the wee hours of the morning, i'm chatting with her. i wanted to hug the monitor when i saw her name light up sa ym...

the joys of technology... Currently feeling: happy/tired

POSTED AT 06:17 AM

March 15th, 2004

Rest...
POSTED AT 08:51 AM

I had some yesterday. It was good. But I hoped I had more time to sleep. I thought I was well rested until I woke up this morning. hahahaha... sleepy head talaga ako.

I am fine. Salamat po sa mga concerned citizen. Ok lang po ako. I am really a nocturnal person. Salamat po. I am taking care of myself (most of the time).

I will be checking in at Malagos Garden Resort tonight. I'm the in-house staff for the training that will start tomorrow. I'm sure mababaliw na naman ako mamaya with the last minute preparations.

At... ang gwapo ni Keanu Reeves sa Something's Gotta Give. hahahaha....
