I love meeting up with my college friends. I'm super comfy meeting up with them and just hanging out. Too bad lang I missed Tet because she left early (and I blame my working hours as well). Oh well. Anyway, I feel really like me when I am with them--they're the only people I truly am honest with. I don't feel pressured to be whoever or whatever around them. I just realized I always say that: I am "at home" whenever I see my college friends. When I think about it, maybe it's because they knew me at the point in my life when I was finally growing up, trying to be independent and finally appreciating who I was (am). It's a nice thought, actually. I'm feeling pretty happy and content now. :)

Current Addictions:
Choc Nut-like ice cream - There's a pint left at home and I am eating it ever so slowly. It's addicting, not very sweet. I'm pretty much saving it until my parents can buy a gallon at least. Gardenia Chocolate Bun - Now this is one thing I can't seem to find anymore in the supermarkets. Watson's used to sell Chocolate Buns, so Pa Bo and I would run there for our Chocolate Bun fix which was almost everyday. Now they don't have it anymore and we can't find anywhere. American Idol - I'm pathetically grateful to Star World for bringing American Idol to Asia. Ais and I are always, always talking about it and making sure we get to watch every episode, even if it means staying up for the 11:30 p.m. replay and having an early day the next day. When I first began watching it, Simon reminded me of someone, but I couldn't quite place it until recently. When I remembered that someone, it brought a lot of *awful* memories of school. Goodness. I'm not sure if it was character building for me, but that was the only time in my school life I tried to be ambitious. Phooey. It panned out. After that, I went back to being safe and unobtrusive again. :( Can I just share I feel violated that "Dove" is playing on a mainstream pop station? I'm just a bit possessive about our team song and hearing it on the radio is... making it very public. It's not supposed to be played on the radio! You're just supposed to hear it on some obscure chillout CD or someone's ring tone in the FX (really). No one's really supposed to know about that song. My teammates also felt that way! Haha, we're so selfish about that song.

Had to call the office to get my sked for tomorrow and it was Crushable who answered. I hung up.
Dork. And I claim not to have a crush on him anymore. I'm such a freak. I'm not used to having two straight days off so I am working tomorrow. Haha! I hate it, but as Bo texted me, we're a greedy bunch talaga; "for the corporate gain and individual gain!" (we have a monetary attendance incentive as a team so we're working on that right now. We made the first round, failed the second. We'll see about the third). I don't know how Bo can stand it--the guy hasn't taken a day off since the second week of December. Anyway, four hours lang naman.

I'm glad my dad is finally taking me seriously when I said for the nth time I want to leave. As in promise. I'm getting super depressed. It's not anymore a question of maturity in being able to endure difficult things or in accepting challenges. I love love the people, the pay (heehee), the place and building (I hate the commuting part, but it's a nice gimmick place, there's already a National Bookstore and new shops coming up), but the work drives me crazy! I also said I'd want to wait for the next training, but so far, there's no sign of that for our batch. I'm really tired. I miss so many things with a normal life and schedule! Nasasayangan lang ako, but I'm having a hard time already. Dianie always keeps on reminding us that the pay should be the least of our consideration, that we should remember ourselves first. So there. I've been making already a schedule for this, just a guide so that I know my goals for the year. I haven't actually left yet, but I'm making small plans already to move. It seems that my plans now were the delayed plans of last year. I hope everything will turn out okay. I will be so frustrated if they won't (not that I have control over everything, but *sigh* I so want to move on).

So who says Valentine's Day should be for coupled people only?
The weekend was fun, although a bit exhausting. I'm still sleepy from starting my days quite early and ending it very late. Take for example Friday, I worked on the 6:30 am shift so that I could get off early and run to Ortigas to meet Anch. We were going to watch the Boyz II Men-Brian Mc Knight concert. 6:30 is the earliest shift I've done so far and it's quieter, but still busy. No big change from the other shifts I've done. Friday the 13th was plain horrible at work for me, but I was glad to be able to get off early and just relax in the evening. The concert started late (as usual) and ended almost 1 am. It was okay, but Boyz II Men didn't sing "Four Seasons of Loneliness". Everyone was clamoring for them to sing that song, but they didn't. I was glad that they sang a bit of "Water Runs Dry", though. On Saturday, the whole team had the same shift. Oddly, even with the late sked I always complain about, I liked it. Maybe because it was just like the old days when it was just us and we were so noisy. And it was! We planned a "one hour date" after log (which ended at 10:30 pm) at Jack's Loft. The boys didn't want to come along anymore because they had a 6:00 am sked the next day, so it turned out to be an all-girls bonding thing with Mai Mai, Dianie and me. Sobrang fun, girl talk talaga with the remaining girls of F. It did turn out to be a bonding thing after all, with Mai Mai sharing some things that I never expected to find out. But I appreciated her honesty. Sayang lang kase we found out that we could get free invites to D'Sound in Shang! My super was telling us that we could have asked from Marketing. My super was enumerating the people who were at D'Sound that night: SC, Broomy, Chris, some other TLs, Crushable (sabay tingin sa akin--my super also likes Crushable)... Oh well. I keep telling Kuya and everyone else it's futile (as if). Okay lang, mas fun yung log namin (yeah right). So yun. I'm never bitter on Valentine's Day unlike some people--I've got my friends and that's more than enough. :) That last line sounded pretty much like "All the Love in the World" by the Corrs. I'm so corny.

Well, the lonely-but-greedy hearts club (me and my teammates) are working late tonight. Hah... we don't have much to do with our time today, so we might as well spend it together, greedily. Heehee. Off to work. :)

I'm too old to have beauty issues. I'm old enough to accept myself.
I have to keep reminding myself that. I can have career issues, life issues, but not beauty issues! Goodness. I should've outgrown that ages ago. And now, I'm being plagued by beauty/insecurity issues again. This is not good. Aargh. Anyway. I've been regularizing errors for Bliz since she left. She left a load of errors and it's not fun regularizing them. :( I've been sending a lot of telegrams lately. Hay. I was assigned to do her errors. If we weren't so pressured to clean up the error page, I would have left her errors pending (bad, I know but I'm awfully lazy and it's quite a hassle). Well, at least that's one thing over and done with. So now my only pending worry is the busy month of March.

So Barbie dolls are kind of outdated already thus I got my niece a My Scene doll (the new one, Delancey) Hanging Out series. It came along with a VCD of the dolls. Well, they were characters in a not-quite-for-a-six-year-old situation (dating? Boys?). I can understand the fashion side, but dating...? Maybe I am just too prudish. Hehe. Anyway, I liked the cartoon--if you could call it that--because it had Jason Brooks/Jordi Labanda-esque graphics. Nice! Fashionable girls at that.
Bah. I told my parents my niece was bugging me to play dolls with her and I was like, nooo! I haven't played with dolls for ages and the last time I did was with her my niece's mom who's my age. My niece actually told me that her mom is old because she's married and has kids and I was not that old. I had to remind her that her mom and I were as old as each other! But my parents said that my niece misses that as her mom is going through a personal crisis that has dragged her whole family in it so she hardly pays any attention to her kids. How sad is that. Edit: Ooh, kakaaliw yung website!
