About Kairee: People already know everything they need to know about me. Well, I love to bite people. And I'm one frustrated J-Rock vocalist (because I don't have a band). If you're interested in recruiting me, please lemme know. Hahah. *skips away*
Template of the Month
Designer: john_25
About the Template: The Jawn and his Table ft. Cloud Strife is the third in the Jawn's Table series, wherein the "table surface" pattern used was uniform to all the versions in the entire theme. The color scheme used was black and silver. The objects embedded in the layout only had shadow blending effects to make them look as if they are laid on the table--and just like the rest in the series, it features a certain anime character, which is obviously Cloud Strife from FFVII for this version. ^^
Entry of the Month
Songs are Meant to be Sungby buchi
[About the Entry: Ahhh. Yung entry. That was a story to be submitted para sa Litt subject ko. Ang ending nya ay tragedy kasi at that moment, medyo malungkot ako. Hehehe. Newbie lang ako sa pagsusulat kaya hindi siya "extraordinary" story. LOL. Salamat ke kairee sa pagnominate. Nakakahiya. Wakokok. ^^]
Small talks and the smell of coffee fill the air as I enter the cafe. The usual faces of the crew greeted me as I entered, and I gave them recognition by nodding my head and giving a smile.
"This way sir, for two I guess?" the friendly waiter asked.
"Yes, we'll be meeting here... again,"
They knew who I am talking about coz we love having coffee breaks in that particular place.
"The same?" he inquired
"Yes, and a carrot cake."
I seldom order cakes because it contains too much sugar that I believe lessens my life two days in each bite but she just laughs whenever we argue about that. A smile crossed my face. Just thinking about the little things that she does makes me happy and I wonder if I'm demented or crazy. Maybe crazy in love, yes, but then we still have a lot of things to do, dreams to make and achieve. And I promised that to her when we lie next to each other watching the starry sky.

In memory of my beloved Father, who passed away last August 8, 2008.
Last Friday, Jam was saying something about cosplaying a character from Tengen Toppa Guren Lagann, then quickly retracted it. XD I dunno what the hell Tengen Toppa Guren Lagann is, so I googled it. Then I just realized why he retracted it. He wanted me to cosplay as Yoko Ritona.
Yes, this character:
HOLY. HELL. XD but i wanted to try it out. Maybe next year pag payat na ko ^_^
Speaking of hell, hell sa office ngayon. I don't really want to talk about it though. Let's just say that taking your job seriously breaks friendships.
amazing how much nostalgia a couple of days with my ipod can bring.. but hold on.. i might be getting a little too far ahead.. lemme see.. what happened the past few days?. well.. five day weekend galore!. actually.. it wasn't really a five day weekend.. it's just that the company had its annual team building last thursday and friday.. so we had a night over in white rock, subic.. wasn't really something to go gaga for.. but two days off from work beats two days WITH work any time!.
so wednesday, tin and dianne slept over in the condo.. intial plan was to have ate liggy with us.. but the woman was just too much of a free spirit to control.. in short, she didn't make it.. hahaha.. so anyway.. wednesday was actually issue day at work.. the hell i had to put up with.. death and taxes.. and a dash of audit.. that's the best combination in the world.. not to mention, i got escalated just cos of tax.. hay hay hay.. hatred to tax is starting to have a whole new meaning for me.. but what the hell.. we're all prolly just doing our jobs.. left the office around 7 already.. mishy dropped us off at the condo.. then we settled for a while.. tapos started walking to S&R to buy dinner.. bought that oh so glorious pizza we've been craving for.. then walked back to the condo.. when we got there, we were dead tired.. watched a couple of shows.. then dug in.. we were too tired, we didn't even have time to like do kulit stuff.. slept around 1.30 in the morning.. tapos the next morning, took the cab to the office for the team building..
the event was okay.. nothing uber duberly spectacular.. danced in front of people for the night gig thing.. made a complete fool out of myself.. but i don't think people bothered watching.. note to self, don't do things like that ever again.. "wuhoo.. mga kaibigan ni moro.. wuhoo.." FUCK.. hahahaha.. the inuman/laruan in the beach that night was the best though.. most of treasury had a few drinks out and we played a handful of games.. never actually played patintero or pepsi-seven-up or habulan or all that street games when i was a kid.. heck, i've never been on the streets.. and i wasn't your neighborhood kid eh.. and besides, im not that physical.. but since i've been more limber since then, i can run and all na.. i know.. it sounds pathetic.. but that's how shallow i can be.. hahaha.. so ayun.. did lusutan too for the losers.. tapos did charades din.. i can officially consider it one of the fun-est moment of my life (i hope i dont sound too pathetic.. hahahaha). and nothing beats running around in the beach while being tipsy and all.. hahaha.. i think i had like three shots and three bottles of beer.. and for some reason, i get tippsy-er from beer.. cos i don't usually drink beer eh.. so i guess my body wasn't used to it.. then played pingpong with tin at half past two in the morning.. so there.. i really cant put all the stuff that went on that day.. oh oh!!. i did play habulan pala in the official teambuilding games.. the caterpillar thing.. and in fairness to me, i did put up a good fight.. cos i was in front and we were like the fourth that got eliminated out of eight teams.. and damn.. rommy garduce, the everest guy, was there too.. and he was literally towering over me and could practically eat me up.. good thing he didn't.. god knows how horrible i taste (damn that sounded so goddamn disgusting).. so in short, if you were to ask me what happened, all i'll prolly remember was that night.. cos to me, that was the only thing worth remembering..
OH OH!!!!.. there's more.. there was an uber panalo moment that thursday lunch.. panalo line of the day: "did you get your health card na?" okay.. it prolly didn't mean anything at all to anyone.. but damn did it make my day.. although, it may also be a case of them being too secure with each other that they can get their flirt-ons with other people.. so im thinking, it's prolly a no-go too.. but what the heck.. at least it made me happy for that few minutes.. hihihi..
...
stayed in baguio over the weekend.. rain was crazy so we stayed in the hotel almost the entire time.. bonding moments with the family.. at least this time around, im there to enjoy it.. last time we stayed in the manor, i was studying for my midterms in international eco.. damn those stupid twelve chapters of tariff nonsense..
wasn't able to buy anything though.. i was supposed to do panic-buying with the scarves and all.. but i just wasn't in the mood to do shopping.. like my shopping bone was out of sorts.. even i thought that wasn't possible.. apparently it is.. so yeah.. i left empty handed.. although i think i put on a couple more pounds.. damn.. i literally should stop eating.. as in stop eating altogether.. nothing.. nada.. zilch.. not even water.. anyway.
ugly part of the whole five days off was the fact that i was dreading tuesday the entire time.. like one of those at-the-back-of-your-head kind of things.. like you know no matter how happy you make yourself, you still have shitloads of stuff to attend to when you come back.. and that no matter how much you try to commit yourself to the feeling of being happy, you just cant.. or maybe that's just me.. damn.. it's just plain unhealthy when you start not enjoying your weekends simply because you know the week after will be just as hell-ish as the week before..
now that's just pathetic..
...
i still can't believe i get myself jumping from the things you tell me every now and then.. BUT im happy that there're no further repercussions.. no long late nights of going all nuts figuring out the why-part of this whole thing.. at least the insanity of the situation ends every time i leave the keyboard.. i know i said it before, but you can go right ahead and live your life.. cos im living mine.. and us not being part of each other's is completely fine with me..
my mistake was i tried to get you involved in mine.. i think i got myself all hyped up thinking you were actually a part of it.. but you weren't (and aren't).. and just as much as you're not, i won't be part of yours too.. and don't worry, no conscious effort needed.. im pretty sure things will fall into place.. or out of it.. whatever's more apt.. it's only a matter of time..
but despite all, i still thank you.. cos i learned a lot.. really.. i did..
although it's time to live life out of you.. i'll be happy.. i am happy..
...
life as i know it isn't as peachy as i would've wanted it to be.. but it'll do..
I was browsing my messy planner days ago and while I was flipping it back and forth, I saw a note on one of the page , written that I am supposed to change my blog layout this month - August.
Unfortunately, I don't think I could comply with that. I cannot even regularly update stuff in my blog, how much more changing layout? I've been on hiatus for a month now I guess, and still cannot find time on things I used to do such as blogging and aimlessly surfing the net...or maybe I do not have time doing trivial things.
I miss blogging at some degree. Things are getting hectic by the minute that seconds of waiting is gold down the drain. Talking about time-management...well, it's just another stress to deal with.
So yes, I'm that busy with school, but it's not bad at all. I'm glad that I am developing my old study habits compared to last year that we were just wasting time at school. Now, I'm taking time to do homework and spending more time in the library--which is I believe, a big improvement on my part.
Though now I noticed that my writing has been bland without the constant exercise like writing and reading a little more seriously like before.
I cannot assure myself or anyone that I could be more active for the time being. I've got to focus on my work...
Oh well...till next time! :p
that was a much needed long weekend... woot... work has been burning me out but at least now things seems to be settling down, well until something stirs it up again (which happens often). i don't think i had much rest over the weekend but at least there was no work to think about... ok, maybe not for my weekend job... hehehe...
what has been happening... well not much really... life has revolved around work and hobbies. been engrossed with playing bleach the card game..., which so far captured the flavor and fun of the anime series. after being a long-standing narutard, i am now well into being a bleach fanatic. the gaming community has become bigger than expected and competition is picking up... and i like that.
well even if it is late, i really had to write about it, anyway... batman: the dark knight was great... the late heath ledger's joker made jack nicholson's joker lame and liam neeson's raz al ghul boring... or for any other batman villain or any other super villain combined... definitely the villain of the 21st century... batman and joker: that is some serious rivalry.
i have been into some long-standing friendly rivalry, some of which has gone way back high school... there were darwin and andrew whose brilliance and intellect that i admire have pushed me to academic excellence even i thought could i could never achieve. then there were trick, jay, chris and epoy on the hard court every thursday playing basketball, whose skills i envied that inspired me to be as athletic and play with everything i have... win or lose. now there's king, mario, mon and edge in dota or bleach or whatever game for that matter... point is i have always put myself up against another to push me to be better... and somehow the more i lose... the more i learn... and in the end, i win either way.
in every competition, there will always be a winner and sadly there will always have to be the losers. unfortunately there is no fun in losing, but losing is not to be taken as sadness or despair either. it just means that more hard work is to be done. if you take losing this way, you have just discovered what essentially is the key to being a great gamer.
losing teaches humility... in the competitive world you will encounter people, who by our biased reasoning, are deceivingly more capable, talented, experienced or whatever. appearances can fool our judgment and hubris can blind our reasoning. we will not realize this until we are humbled by our defeat. the way to winning is to respect our opponents and to never treat them lightly.
losing teaches discipline... if you desire to win then losing should be made to motivate you to practice... practice makes perfect... but to practice is to instil discipline... the driving will power to do something over and over and over until it becomes like breathing. the way to winning is to be calm and collected as if you have done so countless of times.
losing teaches creativity... often there are many solutions to a particular problem, and one of which will always best suit. working around the problem with only the means you can do or afford is being creative, it is always good to come up with strategies and battle plan. quickness of wit and sharp intuition are by-products of creativity. the way to winning is to outwit your opponent and even yourself.
