A Million Thanks, Lost (6.16.10)

Image
Thank you Shannon, for making us realize that we need to learn the French language so that we can decipher a French distress call when we are stuck in an island. Thank you Charlie for showing us that we can fight our addictions and become responsible. We also thank you for telling us that it is not Penny's boat. Thank you Sawyer for breaking the myth that all bad ass are idiots by showing us that you are passionate with the classics as well as guns, girls and booze. You also taught that 3 years is enough to let go of someone. Thank you Boon, for telling us to believe in the teachings of our teacher. Thank you Mr. Ecko for showing us that even in all adversities, we can always turn back to God. Thank you Hugo/Hurley, for teaching us that a good heart is much more important than a big fat ass and if we win the lottery, diversify our investments to different companies, most especially anything related with selling fried chicken. Thank you Kate, that because of your curiosity an...

Urban Adventures: A Day at The Museum (6.12.10)

Image
Originally, the plan was to go get my medical clearance at Ortigas, have my second visit at The Orchard Road for my pratta then head home. But sister told me when I came home about the National Museum being opened and how can I say no?! That's like one in "N Things to do before I die list"! So I slept around 10 (because I was too lazy to go to bed) and set my alarm around 4. I would be in that museum before everyone else comes and I am sure it would be a blast! So I was all cheery when I laid my head on my pillow thinking how fine it would be for tomorrow. I'm currently scrimping on expenses but this has to be under the category of 'Extremely Important'. I just hope the museum don't let us pay 500php each or we'd go home hungry. This is just mere 2 hours ------- Okay, I overslept. I woke up around 6 but my head was still complaining of lack of sleep. But no matter! Let's just look at the bright side! Maybe the doctor is already there when I ar...

Obviously Written How To Land your First Job [Part 6] (06.06.10)

Image
I didn't know if it has just become a norm, but back in the day (3 years ago since I started working), I didn't recall any interviews via phone. But whether personal or not, you must always remember that this is all about selling yourself. Lesson 6 Interview with a (non-glittering) Vampire Considering how jittery most of us gets whenever there is an interview, you might as well be interviewed by a monster. But don't fret that much. Because no matter who is on the other side of the seat, he/she is still just another person who is capable of listening and saying his mind. Do yourself a favor and do the same. I remember a friend of mine who asked me before how to pass an interview. I gave him tips and I think he has exceeded me in that field. But nonetheless I have just now made an acronym for you to remember to 'bring' on your interview day-- the 'A.C.E.' A is for attitude. So you've passed the exam and now you are off to your interview. When the me...

A pathetic attempt in making your constituents believe you are doing something. Also a project no one wants, not even need but funded anyway instead of actually making the roads wider or fixing it for that matter.

This is why I love Simon Pegg

Maybe I should have a twitter account just because of this.

1. (movies) the act of saying 'nge', 'acheche', and any other joke everyone typically knows about or in most cases, slapping an actor of lesser importance, often at the head. 2.

'Definitions' is a new segment in this blog where we sarcastically put into writing what words mean to a typical Filipino. I am expecting flaming with this but hell with them haha. Enjoy!)

Urban Adventure: Going Through Clearances Again (6.2.10)

Image
Last Friday, May 28, I picked up my medical results at Clinica Manila. I had two recommendations, 1 was for UTI treatment that I thought was long far gone since HS and then I was told to do an Apicolordotic View. For a layman like me, anything that has huge words I'm not familiar with can give me anxieties and panic modes especially when it concerns my health. I can't exactly say what that girl in Corporate Services said but they put me on Class B, which I'm not telling what either (very sensitive information haha) but in other words, I have a huge problem. Unless those two are cleared, all my schedules are put on hold. So I went out of Megamall depressed. I should also mention the timing of the heavy downpour. It is obvious too that I had a hard time waiting for the bus in damp clothing and I was half expecting for the cue of the melancholic background music. There was none. Thank heavens. But still, due to this clearance thing I have to put off my plans for a different da...
