Requested song

I would like to dedicate the song, SHUT UP by the Black-eyed peas, particularly the lines...


"Shut up, just shut up, shut up... Shut up, just shut up, shut up... Shut up, just shut up, shut up... Shut it up, just shut up, shut up"


... to the noisy people on the production floor na mas inuuna ang daldal bago ang trabaho at nakakaabala sa mga gustong magtrabaho.

Sha-boo-ya.. Sha-Sha.. Sha-boo-ya!!!

bitchy and messy

The morning girls were surprised to see that there were strangers seated in our stations. I, personally, couldn’t help myself to be a bit bitchy and cranky because I really hate someone breaking my routine. I know I’m mean in that sense but, imagine something you’ve been used to suddenly taken from you.

… (crickets chirping)

Hmm, okay, I guess I’m just such a brat.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

My tresses are in need of a good treatment – BADLY. We don’t seem to get along well these past few days. They seem to go in different directions and can no longer be tamed with the usual conditioning and combing.

Hopefully, the next payout will be large enough to accommodate a cut, relax and color treatment for my hair. Love that to happen! =D

Happy Teachers’ Day and thank you very much for everything you’ve taught and done for me!!

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

It’s not so fun here in the office today, it’s Vayie and Tetay's off today. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t find Cacai fun to be with, but there are loads of emails and we just don’t have the luxury to talk while dealing with this much emails. The rain pouring hard outside makes it harder for me to work – it’s making me sleepy. =(

Plus it’s sad to know that I will be eating all by myself at lunch time because Cai has her lunch back at her pad with her housemates. I might eat faster than I usually do when I’m with Vayie and Tetay since I have no one to talk to.

It’s one of those days…

I can no longer deny that I gained a few pounds

Ceasar and I were watching TV last night since it was his off. During commercial, we saw this teaser for the next episode of the reality TV show, “Pussycat Dolls Presents: Girlicious”. I like the show since it showcases beautiful women with great talent in singing and dancing. Although there is every reason to be envy, you can’t help but admire them for what they can do.



I’m just not sure if they will make it as big as the Pussycat Dolls (I love Nicole!) even though Robin Antin claims that this new girl group will be performing songs of a different music genre. Guess, we just have to wait and see.

Anyway, Ceasar has always teased me as one of the Pussycat Dolls who never made it on tour because of an injury. =D But last night was different. He called me a PUSSYCAT BALL!!! And it made me feel awful because I can no longer deny that I have really gained some weight since Ceasar already noticed it. Believe me, I’m very blessed to have a boyfriend who doesn’t really care about how I look. I mean, he always makes me feel beautiful so sometimes I don’t really see the need for me to make an effort. (I know, I know, lazy me) But now I decided to take care of this matter, basically for my health since for the past week, I noticed that I easily get tired and for me, that’s a bad sign and an urgent call for help. Good thing I started doing Pilates again (just the basic routines) last Wednesday and hopefully I will lose the extra pounds soon and will no longer be called the Pussycat Ball. =P

**Waah!! Tinawag ako ni Iwo na malusog. Hindi pa umeepekto yung pagpi-Pilates ko for two days?! (Hehehe…)

blah

Great news!

Thanks to Tetay, I will be getting my own set of the Twilight Saga before Christmas – in hardbound!!! Yay!!

My books (yes, they’re already mine) will not come cheap (Php3200/set) but they’re definitely worth it. They will be coming from the US and are expected to arrive before December 15. I CAN’T WAIT!!!


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Our team, Uno Animo, will be doing the Christmas Wish List for the third time. But this time, as friends.


Since there will be a merge of teams soon, we may no longer be called Uno Animo anymore. =( I know it’s sad but we say it’s just a name. After all, we consider one another “good friends” so it really doesn’t matter.

We have no updates yet on when the merge will be official but we really don’t have the patience to “wait” for our new teammates to join us in this annual activity so we decided to just do it among ourselves.

I still don’t have a wish list that could fit the Php600 budget so I think there’s a need for me to go to the mall or a bookstore soon to check out what I want to get this Christmas and complete my list.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

We might visit our soon-to-be building, the Total Corporate Center today. (me, Tetay, Cacai—hopefull with her new camera, Khim and Kuya Homer) along with two other teams.


Our other teammates have already seen the building last week. (Unfortunately, it was during my rest days) And they said (well, most of them said) that it’s neither as awful nor as spectacular as some people said it was.

I got to see the façade last Saturday when we were on our way to Antipolo and the area was not as depressing but not as fabulous too. Anyway, I’m happy to know that I am not the only one who welcomes this change with optimism.

Too bad, I don’t have my camera with me since the original plan was that we will go there on the 15th – payday, but a free ride IS a free ride. This will not only save me money but also the energy from commuting under the scorching heat of the sun. =D

Anyway, the important thing is I will have the chance to familiarize myself with our new home.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


I really need to go to the bathroom now (PEE!!!!) and I can’t coz the ladies’ room is packed – I mean “PACKED”. I don’t know what’s taking ALL these girls so long to do everything they need to do to face the remaining hours of their workday. =(

Lemme check again… (after 7 minutes)Ok, I’m good. =D
