Inside

by Leave a Comment

I’m missing my sister, which is a first. I never miss her. Never. It might sound weird but I could not recall any time in my life where I truly missed hanging out with her. Not when we were kids, not when we went to different schools in high school,  not when I was gone to the city after college and she stayed behind with my parent for two years. Nuthin’. Till now, of course. I just don’t geddit. Suddenly I miss our weekly strolls at Mega, eating stuff and window shopping till the afternoon fades away. So weird.

The same goes for my old life. I wanna go back na, waaaah! But I can’t, I totally blew my savings away because of my last purchase! I’ve been toying with the idea of coming back more and more especially since my boss has been showing signs of being weird lately. I don’t know why but suddenly, things are odd.

Like last week, I totally had nothing to do which was another first. Then he gave me a new assignment and he hasn’t even checked up on me which is yes, another first (it’s a new assignment, normally bosses are bound to be nosing around). Then I checked out his email (don’t worry, I’m allowed to) because I was worried whether or not he got my reports and guess what… he hasn’t even opened any of my reports. Oh, the horror!

Am I being fired or something? Cuz I have this feeling that he will fire me.

Well, I’m thinking that maybe he’s just insanely busy. I heard from the grapevine that he may have lost his mini-website developer. He didn’t really show it but I can feel my boss getting testy during our conversation. Don’t get me wrong, there were no snarky remarks or whatever, in fact, he was cordial as always, but something was up.

So far I’ve been working all day and night because of the new assignment, which by the way, is both tedious and dull (because I’m duplicating my own write-ups… ZING). I feel like I’ll lose my mind because I’ve been re-wording all the articles I did to make even more content for him and it’s no picnic. If anything, reading each articles convinced me that I suck at what I do. I think it’s safe to say I won’t win any literature awards anytime soon.

Been waiting for this thing for months! I got my first credit card, yay. My sister made me get one because she’s thinking of either buying a new laptop or enrolling for a gym membership but whatever. God, this would have been awesome had I used it to purchase this instead of ponying in the cash in one go, haay.

Shotgun

by Leave a Comment

My cousin, who is is eons younger than me, is getting married today. At first, me and my sister were deliberating on the cause of her speedy wedding. Our first theory was, of course, she’s pregnant. You see, my dear little cousin has a strict and overbearing father and we thought that her new-found liberty (she just got her first job on a faraway place) got her knocked-up. We visited the bride-to-be yesterday and we got stunned by what we discovered. She was not pregnant (oh, the horror!) The story got sadder from there.

It turns out that a couple of months ago, her dad found a bus ticket that goes all the way to Zambales when in fact, she works in Olongapo. After much interrogation, my cousin admitted that she went to visit her boyf and even went as far as admit that she is sleeping with him.

Boom, she got hitched.

How fucking retarded is that?!

Never mind that her dad is ridiculously overbearing and stubborn as a bull. I find the whole thing absolutely ludicrous. Where’s the romance in this wedding? NONE. Whatever happened to making your own decision as an adult? NONE. Why do old school things like this even happen in this day and age, I absolutely have no clue.

Of course, my mouth ran away with my imagination as soon as we were alone. I told her that it’s nice that she lets her parents have their say on certain things in her life but they should always leave the decision making to her. Especially life-long decisions such as this one. I know I was treading over dangerous waters by spouting shit a day before the big day but I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that she let her dad marry someone over something as stupid as a bus ticket.

It’s the ultimate case of parents running the lives of their children way beyond puberty. Though I’m surprised that the it was her dad’s decision to get her hitched, I’m even more stunned that she went ahead with his idea. Seriously, I don’t get why she even went along with the bullshit. Sure, she might’ve wanted to get married but she gave me a feeling that she too, is a bit overwhelmed with the whole shebang but she just don’t want to show it. I feel sad for the couple because it’s obvious that they never saw this thing coming.

Let’s hope against hope that things will work out for these kids.

In line with the worldwide launch of Microsoft’s Windows 7 comes this monstrous Whopper piled with, you got it, 7 beef patties. Only in Japan, folks.

Here’s an interesting video of a couple of guys attempting to down the 7-pattied Whopper.

The left side of my upper back is excruciatingly painful. So much so that I had to fix the entire orientation of my workplace to make it more uh… backside-friendly. Now the problem is that the newly-revamped workplace managed to make things worse. So now I’m thinking that maybe I have one of those chronic back ailment that only comes when you’ve grown insanely old.

Amnesia

I wonder why my left shoulder kept cramping up. It’s been almost a week and still it hurts so bad that I had to take frequent breaks from writing just so I won’t strain it.The pain is a cross between stiff neck and sore muscles, if there’s any difference at all.

Anyway, I discovered, or re-discovered something mind-bending and to that, I give full credit to Rhae because she reminded me of it. Turns out that the Hindi guy, who back in my early Iweb days gave us two tickets to a horror flick which we never got to see, was none other than Eat Bulaga’s Shivaker.

shivaker

He was the owner of a Indian resto/bar called Guru’s kitchen (the food was fantastic) that we used to frequent and we chatted a couple of times and somehow we ended up getting premier tickets. I do remember him mentioning that he is a DJ back then but I didn’t believe him because he was so comical or something. The point of this is that I have met Shivaker in person and I can’t even remember it. Fucken memory gap, it’s like I have amnesia or something.

I do remember him being hot though. So um… there.
