my last official entry was december 27. im gonna try to recall the things that happened since then. a lot, and i mean A LOT has been going on so kinda didnt have the time to write.

so. new year. annual rockwell new year's eve mass, then fireworks display. went home before 12nn, since my mom seemed sleepy already. spent my first new year at the condo. amazing view! when you look out the window, fireworks left and right ang galing! nalito ako kung aling side ang ivivideo.

weird january. super sakitin ako. una i had cramps for like 2 weeks. ang taba ko na sobra syet. so because of that i started having vegetables lagi and control my eating. i feel stronger naman in all fairness. then, i was diagnosed to have mild asthma (allergic asthma according to a nurse friend), so i stopped smoking. but there are still occassional puffs here and there. definitely will be able to kick it out within the year. kadiri i now bring an inhaler palagi. the asthma was most likely triggered by EDSA pollution. see, i've turned over the car to my sister and i have been commuting to work since the beginning of this year. i find the parking expenses ridiculous that's why i gave it up. though i can use it still when i need/ want to (i AM the eldest wahahaha).

january was full of goodbyes. and i mean FULL! there is one barkada that i have with 6 persons in it, 4 of them left. the 5th one left last week. iyakan blues itich but on the flipside, it made me realize how much i need to depend on myself. and that i need to think of the future now.  im lucky to be in a place where i dont look for much in life, or i dont long for a lot. im lucky to be one of the people who are relatively happy and contented with what i have. and i intend to keep it that way. out of the country options will always be there, but so long as im happy here, i wont have reason to leave.

work- wise, january and february is appraisal time. and february is vbs time. I LOVE VBS!!!!! so far ive been shopping my heart out. i dont really go for expensive stuff, but im a sucker for sale items. as in! just this afternoon i went to podium (i didnt even know they had a 3 day sale!) and i left carrying 6 bags. friday night, i was also there and shopped at living well., i super love living well. so many nice items. kala nyo puro expensive but no, daming good buys dun. was able to buy a folding table (really need it for my kitchen), buy one take one for 2k plus. the plush pillows are buy one take one also. im also contemplating on buying a computer. a desktop. i dont want a laptop kasi im not the type who goes out of the house and brings a laptop to a coffee shop. besides, i dont bring a car everyday so bakit pa di ba? i also want an ipod touch. im also thinking of going to singapore. and boracay. syet mauubos ang pera. i have to eliminate. haha anyway...

im also spending more time now with my other barkadas, and lalo na with my family. so proud of my bro, he passed the Mechanical Engg test for DLSU. he wants to be an archer i think. and for his graduation he's asking for a freaking electric guitar. eh accdg to my friend average price is 12k noh! hello!

an officemate and a wonderful friend left the bank just recently. kakalungkot, we were surprised eh. somehow i expected it but not this soon. anyway, i wish her luck and i hope she is able to set a path for her life that would lead to ultimate happiness.

stress, stress, stress sa work!!! first, the pembo project. i am so involved, as i may have mentioned before. we calculated the results and what do you know, my team got the highest improvement score! woohoo! yey for yellow and yey for the volunteers and yey for me! wahahahaha diretso tpm to sigurado. im so happy kasi in fairness mega dedicated ako to this project. i just turned it over to the new team rep for our team, and mega pressure sa kanya haha kasi nga number one kami. also, a vip exec from regional office visited MNL, and i was in charge of the arrangements. aaarrrrggggghhhh i hated it super. i mean yes it can be done efficiently but i hated ittttttttt to the max!!!! buti na lang may free food. wahahahahaha at saka rubbing elbows with the execs wahahahahaha

poker addiction zoomed up another level. i played cash game. in a poker club. which is a super cool place with a gangster atmosphere! wahahahaha i initially shelled out 1k worth of chips (treat of a friend) tapos nung naubos na tinanong ako ng dealer "ma'am would you like to buy more chips?" ang nasabi ko lang ay "yes, please" buti na lang hanggang dun na lang pera ko. exciting eh! definitely i will be back.

the last time i had poker at a friend's place i had a creepy experience. im not sure if i mentioned before that a manghuhula told me my third eye was open. but i use it daw to read people's characters. well well well i think the manghuhula opened my third eye! since sinabi nya un, i've seen twice, heard twice. kainisssss ung last time nga was playing poker. i was about to go to the washroom when i saw a man sitting sa may couch. i shrugged it off thinking imagination ko lang. then i told a friend about it (a friend who supposedly has his third eye open also) and he said he saw it too!!! putang inaaaaaaaa kinilabutan ako kasi we described him alternately and confirmed that we saw the same man. anyway. mula nun iniisip ko lagi ayoko makakita, ayoko makakita, ayoko makakita. wahahahahaha ayoko tlaga!!!!
