salat und jogurt

i saw this draft from thursday. posting now...

salamat sa yahoo babelfish, nai-salin ko sa german and tanghalian kong salad at yogurt. hehe parang ang layo e no. salat lang din naman at jogurt. kunwari healthy. wala lang talagang makaing ok. mag-isa lang akong kumain ngayon.

ako ay ipinatapon sa malayong tanggapan ng ubs sa altstetten. malayo na ako sa mga babae ko. ang mga barkada ko rito ay sina scott at paul - mga kapangkat ko rin sa proyekto ko. para kaming 3 itlog, lagi kaming magkasama mananghalian. duguan na ang ilong ko kaka-inggles at malapit na rin siguro akong maging lalaki. minsan, kapatid na ang turingan namin. susme. pero ngayon, wala sila. kaya ako lang ang lumabas sa nangangagat na lamig upang bumili ng tanghalian ko.

kaunti lang ang pwedeng kainan dito:
1. coop - maliit na grocery na may mga salad, tinapay, mga tipikal na lunch nila dito.
2. migros - grocery rin ito na may mga tekaway na pagkain. maraming pagpipilian, pero medyo malayong lakarin.
3. scent of bamboo - thai na kainan na 'di masyadong maraming pagpipilian pero ok na rin naman... ngunit 'di sya yung totoong mapapa-aww ka sa sarap.
4. kantina ng ubs - dito lang ako nakakita ng kantina na iba ang presyo ng regular at eksternal na empleyado. kawawa ang eksternal - kami yun. dahil mas mahal ang presyuhan. so ayaw nilang kumain dito. alangan kumain ako dito mag-isa?!
5. chinese - mayron ding chinese pero 'di masyadong masarap. sinubukan ko ang bibe nila. mukang di sariwa ang lasa.
6. mcdo - medyo malayo mag bus ka pa. isang beses pa lang kami nakakain dito tekaway pa.

dun ako bumili sa coop ngayon. ok naman busog na ako sa tanghalian kong salat und jogurt. bow.

that fateful day, 24th of april 2007, my destiny intertwined with two great beings' destinies - janise and marco.

a few days prior to my flight to sg, donna gave me marco's ym id. they were colleagues from misys. i asked marco about his flight details and i was hoping i could meet him outside the building on the first day so we could go up together. i am the i-need-a-buddy-anywhere-i-go type of person. we agreed to meet at the escalator.

when kuya brought me to suntec tower 5 on my first day at work in singapore, i saw a pinay sitting on one of the benches outside the building. she must be janise, i thought. honestly, i was a bit shy (read: afraid) as i found her mataray ;p i didn't approach her.

a few days later, we were a team. we make each other laugh. yes, even at the corniest blows. we share secrets. we give pieces of advice - solicited or not. we have opinions for everything and each one is entitled, more of obliged, to share his/her mind contents. every opinion, be it wicked or witty or goody, is appreciated and respected.

we worked together in one project for a couple of weeks. there was good rapport. at least that's what i think. i hope they agree. ;p

we flock together in good times. we flock together in bad times. hey, we have the same feathers! how could we forget this one incident when we were stripped off of every ounce of dignity we had? hahaha! yes, i could laugh at it now. it was our defense moment. we were defending something. if we didn't, we're dead. double dead. triple dead. but everything is fine now. maybe we have earned someone's trust and respect somehow.

if caths or jan or marco has a heavy load, this calls for an opinionated session. we could have it anywhere. we could sit and talk over cups of coffee. this is the comfy style. or we could sit together on a bench that's built for just 2 persons. this is the pathetic style. my point is, we don't choose a perfect venue. anywhere is ok as long as we could talk and laugh.

they are two of the "easiest" persons i know. easy because we agree about things, no explanation needed. easy because we jive. easy because we are all equally crazy.

when we learned that they need staff in zurich, we prayed hard that it will be the three of us together. we knew we had to pray hard because we thought then it was impossible. they choose based on the project that we work on and there is no immediate need for marco's project.

what do you know? prayers are indeed answered as marco is coming tomorrow. :) we were crazily harmonious as friends. we were harmoniously crazy as teammates. we'll see if we'll be just as good if we become house mates. hehehe!

see you tomorrow, marco! cjm reunite! let's volt in!

cjm, from right to left ;p

medley

i will never understand the reason why
we fail to learn from our mistakes
i will wait for you as the days go by
with my dream - though I am wide awake
-wide awake-

yesterday,
love was such an easy game to play,
now I need a place to hide away,
oh, I believe in yesterday
-yesterday-

but you can say baby
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if I told you the right words
at the right time you'd be mine
-baby can i hold you tonight-

officially announcing that this is warfare
'cause back in the day my clouds was grey
and it seemed like my angels couldn't blow them away
-can i have it like that-

i can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
i can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,
-i'd rather-

five songs that randomly played on my player... now i'm sad... :(

conclusion

this is the last drama post, i hope.

gusto ko lang sabihing sayang.

hindi rin siguro. pero... sayang pa rin.

on dramatic actors

susme, naglabasan ang mga diether, jericho, philip, jomari, mark anthony, at pati si dolphy ngayong weekend.

tama na ang drama, mga kuya. baka 'di enough ang mga award para sa inyong lahat.

'di pa masyadong nag sink in sa 'kin pero sana mafeel ko na para matapos na. and sana this is it. Lord, make me strong. ayaw ko na po e.

i told you so

you have to learn your lessons the hard way. yes, there will always be tears and a splitting headache after all the drama. you can't hide your swollen eyes behind your glasses.

you have to swallow the bitter consequences... mothers do know best. mothers are the ultimate gurus. every mother should be enthroned on a pedestal. they are simply wise.

all secrets will be brought to the open. beware! so if you were asked a question, don't lie. if you can't control it, you are probably ill - make that sick - and you need professional help.

once a maggot, always a maggot. they may grow wings and fly, but they're disgusting flies just the same - not much difference with the maggot they once were. once a maggot, always a maggot.

when you are offered all sorts of glittery, sparkling niceties, ask why. this is usually the work of the devil. devils are not good. obviously.

not all tears are real. that's why there are artists. come on, you are not diet. you are not kristine.

two is a bad number. it means game over.

this is definitely bad karma at its finest... or worst?

lightning never strikes twice in the same place. it strikes thrice (or more). every bolt hurts like crazy. nobody knows if you'll ever be numb if you get it that often.

i told you so. i know, i hate it.
