some annoying but amusing signs i look like a kid...

scenario 1: while running a bank errand for my mom, the banker (thinking that i was just a HS kiddo) was not treating me seriously. as in like joking around with me like i was a kid nga. he asked for an id and i presented my then college id. his eyes widened and he said "kolehiyala ka na pala!". it was then that he dealt with me seriously! haha!

scenario 2: my mom, kuya, and i were going to the casino (hey slot machine lang po ang alam ko ah!). syemps, the security people asked for my age. well, they were not convinced so mega ask pa sila when my birth year was! eventually, they let me in din naman. hello! do i look like a liar?!? haha! funny pa nga, i kept on psyching in my mind that "i'm above 18, i'm above 18..." so i blurted out tuloy "18" when they asked for my age... e i was 20 na ata that time... haha! bawi tuloy ako "20 pala hehe sorry".

scenario 3: the immigration officers at the airport sternly said, "ay pag minor po, kailangan ng DSWD permit bago makalabas ng bansa...". my mom said, "24 na yan". ayaw makinig haha! insisted that they require the DSWD permit... finally she had some sense in her system, and looked at my birth date... hello!!! 1980 yan! shouldn't you look at facts and not the physical hitsura?!? my gaaasss!

scenario 4: this happens quite often during reunions or gatherings with our relatives or my mom's friends. the usual how-are-the-kids stuff? then once they knew that i'm already working for almost 3 yrs now, ok eyes wide talga and, "huwaaaaaat? working na?!?! muka lang pinabili ng suka!" hay naku gasgas na yang linya na yan! 1billion times na sinasabi sakin! pede ba ibahin... "para lang pinabili ng candy" wag naman suka hello?!?! hehe umapila pa!



oh well, amusing nga (although annoying na rin minsan). better to be small and look young than be small na nga and look old pa, right? =) oh, petite is a better term! in fairness, HS-or-college-girl-look-alike na ko... nde na elementary harharhar talga!

waiting for an aftershock

Ok, fine! I thought of him today (actually, a lot)... So predictably, we had another intensity 4 earthquake at around 1030pm. Haha! I-associate ba ang earthquake dun?! Ang kulit ko kasi e! Sabi nang stop it e! But still, im doing pretty great! If i were an alcoholic, ive been sober for a couple of weeks now. Good job! I commend myself haha!



I cant sleep yet. Actually, im kind of afraid to sleep.. Anticipating the aftershocks (pessi ako ngayon a). The philvocs guys warned kse that there could be a couple of aftershocks pa e. Good to hear though that the intensity of an aftershock is always less than or equal to the intensity of the main (?) earthquake.. The earthquake guys also stated that we actually experience up to 20 earthquakes a day.. And there goes my feeling of security... Down the drain. Thanks a lot, earthquake guys!



Ok.. Looks like there'll be no more aftershocks.. Im outta here!

i was browsing one of the appendices of a certain document here in the office. it contains all the cities in US (i think). that four-letter name kept on catching my attention... geez! out of curiosity (and wala lang), i searched and replaced that four-letter name and this stupidity(?) showed that there are 413 cities in US that contain the name... uhmmm... yun na nga. hehe!

hey, i did not violate any rules of moving on here... i just found it interesting hehe!

nagulat ako...

at about 1230 this morning, i received a rather surprising message from someone who's obviously sorry for what he's done in the past. i guess i wasn't the only one who received that message, right? i mean i know it's addressed to a number of people.



of course, my sympathy and loyalty is still with my friend, and i still think he is a jerk (i'm not sorry for feeling this way!), but i have to say i salute him for sincerely admitting that he was wrong and that he'll never love again like he loved her. well, no matter how sorry he is, it can't bring back the past and now he has to face the consequences.



sometimes, i wish we have this control z button in our lives. if we've done something nasty, hit control z and remove all emotions and memories from our being... start anew, and everything will turn perfectly well. but life just doesn't work that way, dear. he seems really sincere and bothered though. =( i didn't reply. i'm not in the position to reply anyway...

weekend ender

For my weekend ender, Oh my...Kuya asked me to watch this, what do you call this? Free style boxing slash wrestling (i really had to spell slash no?). This is not one of those too-violent-but-look-theres-no-blood type of wrestling... Man, they're bleeding! Too many punches! The floor is already blood-stained! Nasty!



For a moment, i thought the other guy's dead.. Hehe.. Brutal! Oh well, the game is (is this considered a game?) over. The japanese guy won.. guess they really have very high pain tolerance... Unlike me.. When i have to go, i have to go.. Napakadaling kausap.. Hehe.. Call it giving way for other people's uhmmm, convenience... =) and happiness...

if it makes you happy... =)

To start off with my rather peaceful weekend (all gimmicks are cancelled hehe), i cleaned my email inbox.. There are a lot of unnecessary clutters in there.. Remnants of the past i'm slowly trying to forget.. If you want to forgive, you have to forget; and the only way to forget is to empty your memory bins. Just a few more stuff in my room though. I have the whole day tomorrow to clean up anyway.. *triumphant grin..



I just wish everybody well... Like the song goes ~~if it makes you happy, it can't be that baaad..~~ You happy? Im kind of happy na rin! Pde na.. =) Everybody happy! No problem with that! Thank God for all my life lifters!



(off topic: he's joking, isn't he? Everythings just a joke.. Remember? Of course it's a joke - and a good one huh!)
