Nap Time Rocks!

i think i’ll just go

today’s mood until the end of the week, or the month, or maybe the year.

You don’t know me, you don’t even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don’t know me, and you don’t wear my chains… oh yeah,

She said I think I’ll go to Boston…
I think I’ll start a new life,
I think I’ll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I’ll get out of California, I’m tired of the weather,
I think I’ll get a lover and fly em out to Spain…
I think I’ll go to Boston,
I think that I’m just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind…
I think I need a sunrise, I’m tired of the sunset,
I hear it’s nice in the summer, some snow would be nice… oh yeah,

You don’t know me, you don’t even care…

Boston… where no one knows my name… yeah
Where no one knows my name…
Where no one knows my name…
Yeah Boston…
Where no one knows my name.

transformers and eat-all-you-can ice cream

the best things in this world include mountain-high ice creams (199php only for stuff-all-you-can ice cream sundae at shakey’s katipunan) with corn flakes and chocolate syrup (and mini chocolate kisses, rainbow sprinkles, mini m&m©’s rice crispies, mini marshmallows, and strawberry syrup) and shared with the people you love. it’s ice cream just the way you want it. me and my brothers really enjoyed topping this ice cream. they ate most of it, by the way

and on the other hand, together with the distorted imagination of your friends, transforming the Transformers© image into less than the hard metal saviors-of-the-universe that they are.

it’s a bit blurry but i’m sure Jeff isn’t so excited that his action figures are getting this kind of publicity. hehe

this is what happens when friends gather for dinner and they have nothing to do but gossip about each others’ love lives and lack thereof.

i can’t wait for our Bohol getaway.

the happiest baby in the whole wide world

my day today is not complete. because i left early this morning while mia was still asleep. i just couldn’t wake her up because she slept really late last night (around 10pm and her bedtime is usually at 830pm). she was probably waiting for me to come home. sweet no? =)

and because mia is such an angel, she never fails to smile at me everytime she wakes up in the morning. it’s like she never wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. and hers is the sweetest smile ever.

so this morning, i didn’t get my usual smile. there’s really not a day i don’t miss her. sometimes i feel guilty about having to go to work because i have to leave her 12 hours a day. i wish i can just stay at home and take care of her. pero kawawa naman kami pag ganun! hehe.

and of course, mia has the cutest sniffle too. she just learned making this face a few weeks ago and it was so adorable. she got colds and a slight fever back then that’s probably why she was doing it =) kawawang bata, she also lost her apetite for a couple of days at pumayat talaga siya. she also had a few side effects of her measles vaccine last month.

but thank God, she’ back to her normal eating habits and she’s getting fatter na ulit!

and by eating habits, i meant food =)

and because she got better already, we took her out last sunday to the mall where she got discovered!

… by a sony camera =)

i can’t wait to get home today!

To an old friend

Why, at some point in our lives, we have to burn bridges is something I have not gotten used to. For some it has been an occupation, but the idealist in me still believes that basically, all men are good.

It just pisses me off, that for some it will never cross their minds that relationships are one of the most important things that can happen to a person. Taking it for granted comes so naturally like second nature. In my vocabulary, there’s no such thing.

Until now. I thought I would have the luxury of living my adult life without having to forget about someone. I’ve even spared my exes. Believe it or not, they’re still worth remembering because you know, it’s fun to. Those are things you brag to your kids or your grandchildren in the future. But to discard a friendship that meant something, well, that’s different.

I’ve never been a hard-to-please kind of person. A simple “sorry” would do. Neither am I the kind who would harbor grudges like there’s no tomorrow. But when you decided to just ignore me, after that very important event of my life, and after all the times I tried to reach you, I had to come face to face with the fact that you might not want this friendship anymore. Your reasons I would probably never find out, as with all the other complications you like to weave yourself in.

I just wish you the best in whatever you choose to busy yourself in. I know it’s one of your ways to cope up with your losses. But when they have to end soon, maybe, just maybe you’ll realize that people really are worth your time. I don’t wish you pain any more than you have right now. More than anything, I wish for your healing. God knows how broken we both are, and if you shouldn’t be there for me during the times that I need someone, then I only pray that you’re safe in your own world, away from the destruction of this world. That’d be enough for me.

So take care of yourself, friend. Please be good and I hope to hear your name passed around your industry in admiration and respect, because to you, people mattered.

looking back

i wrote this September 23rd last year.

…

i felt like grinning in such irony, sitting in the middle of a boring meeting, in one of those feel-important, let’s-save-the-world-and-profit-at-the-same-time, your-inputs-are-highly-appreciated kind of meetings, planning how to feed the world more cavities and malnutrition pretending that this was as serious as stopping the world from going into a nuclear war.

i inwardly laughed at how serious the presenter was in tackling the issue of declining market shares and how to ruthlessly win back lost territory with strategies that would surely make the enemy go into meltdown. and this is a war that is never going to be fought in any desolate region on the face of the earth, but in every household with a TV, in the supermarket, and on the roads where billboards are sprouting up like weed.

It was a biting wit that refused to let go of me; in the past couple of months it has been creeping into my consciousness until I couldn’t ignore it anymore. This was not my dream. This was not what I signed up for. Don’t get me wrong, I do like my job. but the significance of it has entirely been lost on me. im still trying to figure out where I will be able to find that worth.

…

i still feel the same. somebody save me. sniff.
