On Frustration

I am so aggravated! I know what I feel towards my sibling is wrong…. Is not right but as of this very second I really really HATE her! Who does she think she is?!? Hello?!? It is not my fault that she needs to accomplish a lot of things? Is it my fault that the Net was down? Is it bad that I spent the afternoon with my mom and apparently my sibling needs something from my mom? She should have done her school stuff earlier instead of attending those parties! What right does she have to lash out her stress on me… and especially on my mom? What right does she have to make dabog? How dare her raise her voice? How dare her call me a bitch after I reprimanded her not to raise her voice at my mom?

I know that there may be other better moms out there than my mom but I know that my mom is trying her best to be the greatest mom that she can be. Being her is not an easy task. She has to work real hard in order for us to have a well of life – considering my dad does not have a real job. She has to be the one who make the important decision cause apparently she just needs to be the one. She is that one who looks if the house is livable. She is all these and a lot more,

It is stupid. How can my sibling just do that to my mom? How can she not show any appreciation? How I wish I can give mom my at least one free day for herself. --- a *insert name* day. A day wherein she can just rest, relax and do whatever her heart pleases. I love my mom and I cannot imagine my life without her.

As for my sister… I-dedeadma ko nalang siya!

Helplessly trying to think of happy thoughts

distracting one's self

breathing unevenly

shaking my legs

clenchig my fists

pounding of my heart

...

suddenly tears start to flow unendlessly

On Indecisiveness

Would you still stay in a job you’ve been badmouthing recently? What if you PM suddenly came up to you and asked you if you have any issues regarding extending on the project, what would you say? Would you be honest enough to tell him all your rants or would you say that you love your job and you do not have any issues at all?

A job wherein you can relax because deep down you know it is not your fault that you accomplished your tasks for the day in 4 hours max or you just do not have anything to do at all. A job wherein they pay you to surf the Net, download and chat the night away. A job where you can escape the morning rush because you are in night shift... A job wherein you can save money that can be used to treat family, friends and yourself.

A job wherein you feel guilty because you do not do a day’s work for a day’s job. A job where you lose your mind pondering what you may do in order to be productive. A job where you are 14 hours behind your real time zone since you have to work during your US counterpart time. A job where you have to sacrifice time with your family, friends and nightly outings and concerts for work.

What would you do?

Ask your PM roughly how long the project will last. Joke him that it would not reach a year. Any other way you are willing to extend and that you do not have any issues at all. Make it appear that you are happy about it because at least you can save up for your future.

That was what I did!

On the Lucky Millionaire

It was his first day on the show. Today was the last day for the less famous people because over the weekend it will be celebrities’ turn. He passed the preliminary round and went on to the pyramid level. Out of the four fortunate contestants he conquered and got to the top block. He ousted the jologs kikay girl who owned the top spot for four days by naming two of the possible dress gowns. Eventually he answered the million peso question correctly.

How lucky can one get? This showed that despite all the heartrending events that occurred, God is good. In the face of grief He somewhat proved that there is still hope for people who asked for help.

I guess there is a right time for everybody. If one asks for something and it is not given, then maybe now is not the right time and one is destined for something much greater.

Congratulations Jinno!

So I assume that is the reason why up to now I still do not have a significant other.

On the Drilling Sound

Imagine hearing a faint “drrrrrr…..” sound while you are at work. Is it tolerable? Maybe. Perhaps since the clatter came from a semi-distant place a.k.a. the other side of the floor. How about if the “drrrrrr…..” buzz was 5 meters away? It is still tolerable? Waaaaaaaaaaah! Maybe it is, if only the racket lasted for a short period of time like for 5 minutes to 15 minutes the most.

We tried to drown the noise pollution with music however it was no use. We did not prevail. Based on the reactions of people and their status in YM, most were irritated. But deep down I welcomed the distraction because it gave us a reason to sneak out the office.

Too bad when we got back they weren’t finish yet. Next time we should have stayed out longer. Then again, there wasn’t anywhere good to go to or anything interesting to do. It was weird considering it was a Friday night there weren’t people out. I guess people are saving up for the 14th.

On Sleeping

I have a sleeping disorder. I am awake when I should be asleep and I am asleep when I should be awake. How many hours of sleep should one get anyway? Come to think of if I get at least 6 hours of straight sleep which is not that bad after all. But how come I consider this inadequate? Thus, I try to sneak in 2-3 hours of sleep before heading of to work. As a result of this, I end up running after time.

Oh man, I really need to figure out the best sleeping habit that will best suit a person like me whose body clock is set to -14 during weekdays and MNL time during weekends.

Obviously I am experiencing the Monday blues.

Sleepy Head

I fell asleep; rather I slept during the status meeting. I slightly jumped off my seat when I abruptly woke up. I was dumbfounded that my co-worker was using “my pc” for entertainment purposes. Then again, I figured out that I was not on top of my workstation.

Whoops. In fairness it was the first time I really snoozed off.

Tick Tock

“A day’s work for a day’s pay, anything less than that would be stealing.”

I am quite bothered with the statement above. It is not my fault since my team leads do not give me tasks to accomplish for the past two days. Oh yeah, they gave me something to read. Heck! I finished the so-called task in less than an hour. I guess they did that to make it look like that I am doing something worthwhile or maybe just to shut me up from nagging them on what I can do.

Obviously I am annoyed at my situation. Hmm, what if I bring TV series or a pocket book? Would that be disrespectful? Especially that I am within the area where the project manager is.

C’mon time… why don’t you hurry up like you always use to do?

Bug

It is the time of the year. It is the love month once again. February 14, a holiday created by Hallmark to generate profit, is fast approaching. Nope, I am not bitter or anything it is just that I do not understand why people need to wait for this occasion if they can spread love all year round.

Love is such a mind-blowing thing, emotion, experience, feeling… it comes in weird and tricky ways. Sometimes we think that we are not loved not knowing how much the other party adores us. Sometimes we think we are in love not knowing we can only be friends and nothing more. But at times when we stick too much to friendship we forget that we are in love. Would we let this moment just past by?

Crap. The love bug has bitten me.

Why o Why?

How come I can access LJ in the office but not here at home? Does it have something to do with the time? Or the computers here at home are malfunctioning? Is this really the sign for me to leave LJ and the experiences we had shared?

Yuck. Drama! I'll give myself a week to decide.

parang naman ang hirap at kailangan pa talagang pagisipan ano?
