Yung tipong ginawa mo na ang lahat, yung tipong ikaw na ang gumagawa ng lahat pero pinipilit ka pa ring gawin ang mga bagay na hindi na kaya ng katawan/pagiisip mo. Nakakaburaot lang. Sabi ko sa officemate ko, okay lang na magwaitress na ako sa Dumaguete, tutal okay naman ako sa people skills so swak ako dun. Hindi yung tipong sa yo nakasalalay ang lahat, na pag tipong sablay ka, sablay buong magazine, hindi yung ganito kakomplikado na trabaho, yung maraming magagalit pag di mo nagampanan. Ang akin lang, kaya ko eh. Pero may limitasyon ako. Hindi ako somekindofasuperwoman, syet. Grabe ang gusto ko lang naman sa buhay mamuhay ng steady lang, pasulat sulat s atabi, palabas labas tingin ulap lakad daan, matuwa sa pagpeoplewatch buong araw. Yun lang naman eh. Hindi yung ganito. Pramis, magiipon ako. Tapos iiwan ko lahat. Mahilig naman ako magsolo e.

..when I was obsessing about the Davao trip. Felt it wouldn’t push through because of the two typhoons, the earthquake – umextra pa si Trillanes. Then I had the trip, met my ex for the last time, went home.

As quick and as painless as that.

Okay. I kindof lost the links, after changing the template. Will fix that later.

Random blah:the work is overwhelming…have to come up with New Year specials for six magazines by next week! Argh.

Tagaytay tomorrow with officemates. Posted on our bulletin board is our wishlists. Mine: a clutch bag, bra (haha. I don’t buy this kasi. I consider this an unnecessary purchase) and a cute notebook. Funny how the wishlists scream our personalities. The dog lover wants a shirt from PAWS, the health buff wants a pair of training gloves, the musician an Urbandub CD, the lomo guy a light meter. So fun. Pero wait lang, parang my wishlist doesn’t say much about my personality pala haha. I mean, a bra, for chrissake. hahahhaa.

God I just want this week and the next to be over. Ang daming gagawin….

Writers’ Night this Saturday! I’m still too shy to go. Haha.

Will be back for more rambling. Saya :)

Dear Sam,

For all your faults and incongruities (hehe!), and your very altruistic views on love and relationships, and going crazy over ________, remember that your friends will always be here to scold at you when you seem not to listen again…and again…but what the hell, you’re a living proof that someone still believes in the old adage that “it is better to love and be hurt than not to hurt but never been loved at all.” (words to that effect di ba?) hehe!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sam!!
