TheOne

As always, you're the first thought that comes into my mind the minute I woke up. I wonder if you're still awake at this ungodly hour or you're having the best time of your life sleeping.

As usual, I'm having a hard time getting a cab in going to work. I'm wishing that you're among those people driving their car and you'd stop by and ask me to get in and bring me to the office.

I check my e-mail and scan the name of the senders --- coz it's from you, I'd definitely read it first.

Calls, calls.

First break.

More calls.

My phone beeps and I cross my fingers and hope it's from you. Wow! you still remember to text me from time to time.

Lunch.

Calls, calls, calls and more calls.

I can't remember when did we last talk to each other. I wonder what's up with you. Lemme check out your friendster. Hmm, nothing new.

Last break.

Time to space out and dream about you.

Time's up.

Finally, end of shift.

I always pass by Glorietta and I always play these scenes in my mind...I, bumping into you and US having a late lunch or just hanging out in Starbucks.

Or...

I, waiting for the bus (one of my faves from eheads) in Edsa and a car suddenly stopping in front of me and asking me for a ride home. Who else, but YOU!

And when i get home, I login to YM and see that you're online already. I expect us to make small talks.

dreaming about her.

As usual, I'm having a hard time getting a cab in going to work. I'm wishing that you're among those people driving their car and you'd stop by and ask me to get in and bring me to the office.
Wish some more. You're probably fast asleep coz you're dead tired from bringing her to and from work.

I check my e-mail and scan the name of the senders --- coz it's from you, I'd definitely read it first. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...you're pretty tied up. No time to even check your email. Much more, send one.

My phone beeps and I cross my fingers and hope it's from you. Dang! it's that annoying text msg from Globe again. Man! can't even remember the last time I got a text msg from you.

I can't remember when did we last talk to each other. I wonder what's up with you. Lemme check out your friendster. Hmm, nothing new.
You're still In a relationship. Honestly, I do check your page everytime I login to friendster and everytime...you break my heart.

Time to space out and dream about you. ---
That's all I can do.

Time's up. ---
Will it ever end? My pain, that is. I am no angel and I do admit that sometimes I wish for your relationship to end. But I know how much you love her and hurtful as it is, I still wish you happiness.

I always pass by Glorietta and I always play these scenes in my mind...I, bumping into you and US having a late lunch or just hanging out in Starbucks.
But the truth is, I sometimes dread passing by Glorietta coz the scene that keeps playing in my mind is, I, bumping into you and your girlfriend. Enough said.

Or...

I, waiting for the bus (one of my faves from eheads) in Edsa and a car suddenly stopping in front of me and asking me for a ride home. Who else, but YOU!
I just wish that you're near Ayala Edsa around 2 or 3 in the afternoon.

And when I get home, I login to YM and see that you're online already. I expect us to make small talks.
But then again, you're busy. So I'll just let you be. Don't worry. I've accepted the fact that you can't make time for me.

Another baby boy in the family

Yey!

I've got a new nephew. His name is Nathaniel (his parents haven't decided yet on a second name) and he was born last Tuesday, Nov 16th. He's so cute and he looks like my brother. May cleft-chin pa (trademark daw ng mga gwapo sabi ng kuya ko, haha!) .

Lakas talaga ng dugo ng daddy ko.

I have six brothers and now I already have three nephews and one niece.

Hmm...I wonder if I'm gonna have a baby boy also for my first child. :-) It doesn't really matter whether it's a boy or a girl just as long as the baby is healthy.

Not again

We were supposed to go to Puerto Galera tomorrow to have our long-delayed team building but because of our "factory-worker salary" plans have again changed. Arrgh!

I'm not happy. I'm getting frustrated.

When will we ever have a "real" team building?

Power-tripper

Was on my way home and was waiting for the bus to leave when a group of MMDA officers (those in blue) signalled to the driver to open the bus. The driver politely told the leader of the group that there was already an officer in the bus. The leader got irked and raised his voice. I didn't really get it at first, but it turned out that the driver was refusing to give them a free ride. This made the man in blue madder. He was shouting at the poor old man and bullying him. He called the driver "madamot" and even threatened to hit him. I think what made him so pissed off was because the old driver was so composed. He was just trying to explain that he'd be reprimanded by their Inspector if there are a lot of officers in the bus. But the jerk-in-blue would not listen. He even said "tingnan lang natin pag nagkita tayo sa Almar...kung makaasta ka ng ganyan"... or something to that effect. The other officers just told him to let it go and so he got off the bus. I saw him talking to the conductor of the bus. I was not sure if he was also giving him a piece of his mind. Kupal talaga. Umaapila pa ata, ayaw pa sumuko.

Truth is, I wanted so much for the jerk to hit the poor old guy coz I wanted to report him and have him arrested. But it's a good thing he chickened out also. Takot lang nya dahil andami namin sa bus na makaka-witness ng kagaguhan nya.

I hate those kind of people.

I'd be a hypocrite if I say that I don't like getting favors. But I would know if there's a need for it and I would not force someone to do me a favor if he/she is not willing to do so.

One needs to know that most of the time, NO means NO.

Had lunch with the "dead" guy earlier. He said that it was just his way of making lambing to his friends and he didn't think that the joke would be taken seriously. Weird. If I wanted to make lambing to my friends, I wouldn't "kill" myself. And how can someone not take death seriously? Oh well.

A very bad joke

It was almost four in the morning and our shift was about to start when the news broke out that a friend had died in a car accident. Text messages were sent out to friends confirming the bad news. Naturally, we cried when we found out. I was trying not to cry since we have not yet verified if it's true or not but I was already having goose bumps all over my body. I usually feel this if something is not right so I was not able to control my tears. I cried.

It turned out that it was just a joke. A very bad joke. It was not even funny at all.

The guy was just trying to find out if his friends would cry for him once they found out that he's gone. I don't really know if that was just it or there's a deeper explanation, but one thing's for sure --- I don't wanna buy it. I'm sorry dude but it was really uncalled-for, it was so not right. I don't really know how to describe it.

I hope and pray that you're not gonna do it anymore, or do anything of the same kind, or worst do something that would really hurt you. I am telling you right now --- a lot of people will cry, will be hurt and will feel pain once something bad happens to you. I just hope you know why.
