of a crappy birthday and wishes that never seem to come true

May 15th, 2008 by dazed-and-confused

timecheck: two days after my birthday.

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* somehow, my birthday didn’t go as planned. i was supposed to be spending the whole week out of the office but things kept getting changed or pushed back that, now, i’m just stuck here at home.

whatta crappy birthday. fuck.

my first idea was to go out of the city - didn’t really care where i’d end up (beach or mountains preferred though), as long as i got away from this stinking, cant-do-without, hell-hole they call a city.

yes, i made plans. i was actually thinking of going to pagudpod (or was it pagudpud?). actually, it was baguio first, then pagudpu/od since i figured i’d have enough time. hell, i planned a week-long hiatus from work just so i can celebrate my birthday the way i wanted to but of course, i had to change my plans.

next things i thought about was for me to go to bacolod, maybe finally taste a bit of the calaya pastries i’ve been hearing so much about. tickets were the problem this time since word got to me that it wasn’t advisable to take a bus/ferry boat going there. sayang daw ang oras ng pagbyahe eh. things again got delayed until such a time that to even think of getting roundtrip plane tickets would’ve cost me a fortune. dead end there.

last night, as i was coming home from work, i was working up the crazy idea of going to the nearest beach i know: puerto galera. gasgas na siya, as others would describe it, but at this point, i didn’t really care anymore. i just wanted to go out. so anyway, i was thinking once i’d reach home, i’d pack my bags, say to everyone "i’m going out for the weekend", catch some zzzzzzzs, then leave for the pier at around 3am. i was thinking i’d come back sometime sunday.

*siiiiiiiiiiiiigh* stupid rain.

i don’t know anymore. maybe i shouldn’t really plan things like these. or maybe i should hire my sister to make travel arrangements for me instead. she seems to get everything done to her liking. maybe i should’ve let her worry about the planning, pay her for her trouble and go on with my birthday treat to myself.

oh well. a milestone at 25 years and i’ve nothing to show for it. sad.=(

maybe i should just take a day trip to puerto? go early morning so i take the first trip outta the pier, then return on the last trip going back. perhaps tomorrow. perhaps.

or maybe i should just treat myself to a massage. it’s cheaper and at least i get to relax…

bahala na. walang kwenta talaga ang 25th birthday ko ngayon. pinakamasaya pa rin yung birthday kong dinala ako ng Sky sa outer space. man, i miss you both, rai and twish. naiiyak ako…

haaaaaaaaaaay…

wala talaga akong magawa… here are some artworks i’ve created through paint at work. medyo mahaba minsan avail time and because the IT dept does their job too well (meaning, sobrang wala kaming mga sites na pwedeng puntahan kundi aussie sites lang), i started trying to go back to being slightly artsy-fartsy.

a friend suggested i post whatever i drew so at least i have records of it online. *shrug* oh well. i have nothing better to do anyway. here they are.

    before anything else, lemme just say that snow (john joe’s rabbit) had finally given birth a few weeks ago. the little wabbits are now cute and cuddly (not like the first time i saw them where they looked like rats… eew…).

   welcome to the world, death proof and planet terror! (yes, those are their names… but we just call them death and terror…)

Death_and_terror_1 Death_and_terror2

   moving on to another subject, i’m going to baguio tonight! yay! after having gone on a two day "vacation" to a friend’s private resort in quezon around two weeks ago, this time, i’m going to the mountains! haaaayyy, brings back memories of my trip last year with ruth and faith. mahaba-haba ang vacation na ito… from tonight to sunday night… tapos naka-vacation leave pa ako sa monday. so assuming i have work on tuesday next week, saka lang ako papasok ulit. tuesday next week. saya. =D

   anyway, yung lang… i’m actually just killing time - waiting for the pc to finish burning a copy of jim henson’s the storyteller. haaaaaay, ang tagal talaga… @,@

medical certificates, anyone??

October 17th, 2007 by dazed-and-confused

it all started last night, the migraine. before i even reached home, the left side of my head was throbbing and i could hardly keep my eyes open because everytime i open them the bright lights made my eyes start to water and my head spin.

migraine, diba?

it lasted till morning. actually, i can still feel a slight throbbing at my temples - reminiscent of the migraine but thankfully a bit better.

so.

i woke up this morning and felt i couldn’t go to work - the light was still hurting my eyes, i felt nauseous, and i felt weak. syempre tinext ko agad si TL. he acknoledged my need for rest and reminded me to text the OM as well. and like a good girl, syempre tinext ko nga si OM.

"pls try to come in halfday. if not ensure you submit a medical cert to me tomorrow."

tindi noh? sana kung isang linggo - heck! kahit 3 araw nga lang! - maiintindihan ko kung bakit kelangan kong kumuha ng medical certificate noh! but one day?! one freakin’ day?! and for a MIGRAINE??!!! it’s stupid, really… it’s not like they really need me at the office anyway. hindi naman ako TL or OM or even a QA! agent lang naman ako.. AGENT! just like the rest of the 100+ people who takle in calls. tangina, ubusan nga kami ngayon ng station eh!

hmph!

haaaaaaaay, so anyway, back to my story. i know i have no choice but to comply with her highness’ demands, so i slept the whole morning, hoping against hope that by the afternoon i’d be well enough to step out of the house, go across the street to the clinic, and acquire the fuckin’ certificate. morning came and went… and it was only by 3pm that i felt better.

Me: "excuse me, miss… san po ako makakakuha ng medical certificate?"

Nurse biatch: "…para saan po?"

Me: "nag-absent ako kanina due to migraine. kelangan ko lang ng medical certificate para sa boss ko."

Biatch: (stares at me for several seconds) "may migrain ka pa ba ngayon…?"

Me: "Wala na po. Natulog ako buong umaga kaya okay na po ako ngayon."

Biatch: "Pwedeng bumalik ka na lang bukas para sa medical certificate? Mag-330 na eh, matatapos na shift ko…"

WHAT THE FUCK?!!!! TANGINA! PUTANGINA NAMAN TALAGA! i couldn’t believe my ears. seriously. bumalik na lang ako bukas??! ano yan? aabsent ulit ako bukas para lang kumuha ng medical certificate for my absence today???!

well, fuck that. i went home and opened the pc. hindi na lang ako nakipag-away sa biatch na yun. hindi na lang ako kukuha ng certificate. fuck my boss if she denies me my SL. wala na akong pakialam. i find her demand unreasonable anyway.

haaaaaaaaay. my head’s starting to hurt again. i don’t think it’s a migraine (thank god for that at least), but it’s getting to be a bit annoying.

anyway, yung lang. just wanted to release the stress i feel right now. i have no other outlet for releasing my stress anyway, other than talking to no one in particular via my blog. haaaay, thank god for blogs… but curse him for making such unreasonable people.

hay buhay.

i found a picture! YAY!

October 10th, 2007 by dazed-and-confused

I found a picture of one of Ash’s (that’s John Joe’s rabbit’s name…) relatives! ANG CUTE NILA!!! KAKAGIGILLL! XD

Bluepicnic These are actually American Blues but Ash is a New Zealand Blue eh… i think the difference between the two is the length of the ears… parang mas maliit tenga ni Ash eh… ^o^ cute, cute, cute…

We’re all hoping Snow’s not just in some sort of pseudo-pregnancy though… nabasa kasi nila na minsan akala lang ng rabbit pregnant sila pero di naman pala.

They’ve also read somewhere that the first time a rabbit gives birth isn’t always a success - madalas namamatay ung mga kittens (yes, they call baby rabbits "kittens"… not "wabbits"… harharhar…).

More on pets! Guys, you have to watch this———-> http://arcade.modemhelp.net/play-157-Dog_Attacks_Own_Leg_Over_Bone.html ! Cute and funny video of a dog attacking IT’S OWN LEG! i watched the cideo several times and i still can’t get over how… possessive… a dog can get over a bone (?).

while waiting for my player to finish charging… hay!

September 28th, 2007 by dazed-and-confused

haaaaaaaayyy… soundtrip. saya.

hehe, labong opening noh? wla naman kasi akong maisip na isulat talaga eh… as the title itself implies, i’m just killing time while i wait for my player charge up. mahirap nang umalis ng bahay ng walang kasamang player - baka ma-LSS pa ako sa mga kantang tulad ng Crazy Love (lecheng Kim Chiu, pakyu! daib ruth, diba, diba?), Dodong Charing (hay buhay…), at yung kantang may lyrics na "tabatchoy pinoy (shyet… naririnig ko na yung kanta sa ulo ko! nooooo!!! *hikbi*).

it’s sad when you (for one reason or another) can’t find the time to be with friends. damang-dama ko ngayon yang statement na yan. i’m so busy with work that i can’t seem to find the time to really relax. i don’t get it though… agent lang naman ako sa bago kong trabaho. i don’t have any work or projects to take home with me… and yet here i am - realizing that i always seem to be pressed for time.

it’s like 24 hours is not enough to do everything i want/have to do. =(

rai… i know you’re having a hard time dealing with your current problems right now. i may not reply at times, but i hope you know i’ve read ever text you sent me (unless it was a text you sent during that horrible time i wasn’t able to send or receive messages… fucking globe was updating my rate plan and they didn’t even tell me about it! shyet! wala man lang akong nakuhang compensation for the xx days i couldn’t be contacted…). what you’re going through is hard, i should know. i went through a similar story. just hang in there. divert your attention towards something or someone else… whatever works for you… parang yung ginagawa ni twishy ngayon…

twish… ikaw din. lam kong nahihirapan ka rin sa kalagayan mo. just remember that i believe you’ll get through this. hirap din ng kalagayan mo ngayon. tago eh. lam kong mahirap i-open up ang mga topic na ganyan lalo na kung iniiwasan ng taong pag-usapan ang sitwasyon na gayan. you know what i mean.

basta to the both of you… we’re all going through a rough time. all of our stories are similar - in one way or another. we’re all troubled by that specific part of our lives and it sucks, i know. ngayon lang tayo tinatamaan ng buhay eh. life, as i remember saying once, is certainly out to get us. dati nung college pa tayo immune tayo sa "normal" na hirap ng buhay. mga pinoproblema natin mga kakaiba dati… and it’s only now that we’re being hit with life’s unpleasant side of how it is to love and be loved. just hang in there… kaya natin yan. haaaayyyy… the song by keri noble (if no one will listen) comes to mind. perfect.

naks. biglang ganyan naging entry ko. hehe… oh well. tuloy-tuloy lang naman ako magsulat. unedited version ito. how i write in this entry is exactly how i’ve thought of saying things… unedited talaga. haaay… i really need to organize my thoughts before i start writing.

… gusto ko ngayon kumain ng koko cruch. @,@ pero baka mamaya nalang ng onti. paliitin muna ang tiyan bago kumain ulit. hehehe… =)

haaaaayyyy… it’s a friday night. gusto ko sanang lumarga’t uminom or tumambay man lang sana… kaso… tinatamad ako. ^o^ hay buhaaaaaaaayyy! the irony of it all! gusto kong tumambay pero tinatamad akong lumabas ng bahay. go figure. >=(

hmm… what else can i say? i find i like the sound the keyboard makes when i type, hehehe… so i have to keep typing so that i can hear the clicking. ^o^

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz…

hay. it’s not as "musical" as when i’m actually typing real words… if i type patterns, the sound becomes too monotonous. gotta keep typing, gotta keep typing…

yahoooo! manonood daw kami bukas ng resident evil extinction… astig. zombie movie ulit! ^o^ astig, astig…

i miss having a dog… =( i wish i had a pet waiting for me at home para naman naeengganyo akong umuwi ng maaga lagi.

speaking of pets, john joe’s rabbit, snow, is pregnant. he’s been asking me if i wanted a rabbit of my own. syempre, direcho ako kay mama…

Me: ma, john joe’s rabbit’s pregnant…

Mama: oh.

Me: yup… he asked me if i wanted one.

Mama: hmmm…

(the next day)

Me: ma, tinanong ulit ako ni john joe kung gusto ko daw ng rabbit…

Mama: (changing topic) ay, anak, i forgot to ask you about…

(the next morning)

Me: ma, tinanong ako ulit ni john joe kung gusto ko ng rabbit…

Mama: (laughs) ang kulit mo rin ano? sinabi mo na rin yan kagabi eh!

Me: di ka naman sumagot kagabi eh! you changed the topic eh… malay ko ba kung narinig mo ako…

the day after, i was at the congo and johann mentioned my conversation about the rabbit to john joe.

Johann: johnj, hinihiritan na ni cris ung mom niya tungkol sa rabbit…

John Joe: (chuckles) dein na… tago mo lang sa kahon, okay na yun.

animal cruelty should i decide to do so. @,@ haaaaay, i wonder what they’ll look like. cross breed kasi sila ni snow (normal white rabbit na mukhang stressed na stressed na ngayon) at ash (may lahing rabbit. if i remember correctly, he’s supposed to be a new zealand uhh.. something.)

haaaaaaayyy, onti na lang, matatapos na siguro yung pag-back up ko sa mga files ko sa pc. kuya said i had to back them up since the pc’s acting up (pakshyet! dagdag trabaho…).

crap! the urge to go out and do something (anything at all!) is so stroooooooooong! @,@ nabo-bother tuloy ako… maybe i’ll go out for a massage or something after i’m done with the pc.

haha, to whoever’s reading this, try visiting arcade.modemhelp.net! ang kulit! pooj was the one who introduced this site to me (to pass the time away while on avail… hehehe…). for starters, try going to the pranks section and listen to "dirty turban prank call" tsaka yung "chinese food prank phone call". laughtrip! promise… ^o^

o siya… ligo muna ako para mamaya makalarga naman ako.. hanap nalang akong tambayan… haaaaaaaay… @,@

the zombie returns!

September 10th, 2007 by dazed-and-confused

yes, oh yes, it is i, crism the z0mbie back from the dead!XD after several months, i finally found the time to check up on friendster and all that other shit.

i didn’t really die, of course (duh!). here are just some of the reasons why i’ve failed to update things:

1. i’d rather play with my nintendo ds - shorter booting up time, it’s portable, it’s mind-boggling (eh?), and it’s cuter (nyahaha!).

2. i’m rarely home - work, tambay, home to sleep. work, tambay, home to sleep. work, tambay, home to sleep.. that’s pretty much my routine nowadays…

3. i have nothing to say - ahhh… this has been happening a lot lately. i find silence very comforting. too bad for those that would rather have me talk because they might be uncomfortable with the idea of silence… pah!

4. i’d rather sleep.

5. i’d rather eat.

6. i’m just too lazy…

speaking of being lazy… i find this is starting to bore me. @,@ better make this quick.

UPDATES:

i now work at 24/7 customer philippines - 5 days a week, off on the weekends. holler if you want to hang out and *maybe* i can work something out.

i miss wallclimbing!=( stupid of them to tear down the power-up facility in pasig… stupid. >={

i am desperate to get out of the metro! i want to relax! the beach. the mountains. anywhere but here!!!

umm… alright. this is really starting to bore me. nood na lang ako ng willow! WAHOOO!!! my brother download the movie off the net and i’m going to watch it! haaaaaayyy… it’s so nice to have such a resourceful brother. =D

here’s a song that’s been playing over and over in my head. (sky! pakinggan niyo yung song… aliw ang music niya… simple lang eh. ^___^)

MAd W0RLd (by Gary Jules)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one new me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

whew! akala ko dinelete nila…

April 2nd, 2007 by dazed-and-confused

for a second there, i really thought friendster had my blog deleted. whew! buti nalang hindi… happy to report my blog’s still alive and kicking - as i am. anyway, i don’t really have anything important to relay in this blog - no time eh (as always… haaaaaaaaayy buhay!). i guess i felt i needed to post something just in case friendster DOES decide to start deleting un-updated (is there such a word??) blogs… hehehe, praning. oh well. ^___^

anti-gravity love song (summer romance)

January 16th, 2007 by dazed-and-confused

pahabol ulit! hahaha! ang kulit lang. new song popped into the playlist. actually, it’s an old song… pero bago lang siya sa playlist ko kaya bago siya. basta! yun na yun. wag na pag-isipan pa. i give you…

ANTI-GRAVITY LOVE SONG (SUMMER ROMANCE) ~ incubus

I’m home alone tonight.
Full moon illuminates my room, and sends my mind aflight.
I think I was dreaming up some thoughts that were seemingly
possible…with you.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous by quarter-to, and make sure we’re alone.
I think I’ve found a way for you and I to finally fly free.

When we get there, we’re gonna fly so far away,
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
Anti gravity x2.

For years, I kept it to myself.
Now potentialities are bound, are living under my shelf.
Simply choose your destination from the diamond canopy,
and we’ll be there.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous by quarter-two, and make sure we’re alone.
I think I’ve found the way for you and I to finally be free

ISA PA! ISA PA! as sir pepe used to say, "dream CHETTER naman!". ahh… memory overload.

THE SPIRIT CARRIES ON ~ Dream Theater

Nicholas:
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, life is too short,
The here and the now
And youre only given one shot
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that weve got?

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
Im not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Victoria:
Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear

Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victorias real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that Im here
Its perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Hypnotherapist:
You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light. allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime. as the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into con
Sness remembering all you have learned. when I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present, feeling peaceful and refreshed. open your eyes, nicholas.

a direct hit to some of that which i have spent countless of hours worrying about.
