My sister's an annoying git

I think that says it all. She's an annoying, selfish git. Its weird that the parents tolerate it for most part when she's just a petty spoiled ten-year-old when she doesn't get her way. She gets home late at night, then gets the phone and brings it upstairs. She turns on her computer, but nine times out of ten she leaves it on and sleeps through it. Fuck, right? Not like SHE's the one paying the bills. She talks to all sorts of (weird) people at the wee hours of the morning. I've caught her more than once still mumbling to someone at three in the morning.

WTF are you doing, half-awake and still 'talking' to someone? And she hardly ever talks about these other friends of hers. I really don't give a damn, but hell, if you want to be secretive and be pissy while you're at it, stop giving us grief.

First Day of Work

Tomorrow's my first day of training. Bah. Good thing I can quit within the training period, etc, and there's no bond. In fairness, I like the potential in this new workplace. I've never been in an in-bound situation before, so this is quite new. And I'm actually excited about going to a new workplace. Seems that the people I'd be working with on my 'team' look like good kids. There are about 40 or so of us in the hiring batch, and we're divided into two. So, I'm part of a 15-20 people team. I'm glad. I can't wait.

I'd be working 10am-7pm for the whole month. Yay, semblance of a 'regular' work sked. After that, I'd be sent back to graveyard yet again. I don't mind. I've always been on graveyard. Hehe.

Food, glorious food

Went to the subdivision induction party. Pigged out ;) Hehe. Potluck dinner and everyone turned up with munchies. Free food! :D

Saw some of the village's Old Guard. Señora, some of the tito's and tita's in the village.

Met up with Bobet, our newly minted choirmaster. An all-around nice guy. I promised to hang out for next week's choir practice, just that I *might* be late, coz I get dismissed at 7, and practice starts at 8. I miss singing at choir. They have new people now, and last count, I think my brother's choir batch is Batch 5. Chi and I were the very first-first choir. Bobet's the last of the old group still there. And when I go to mass, I try to join up with the choir when I can too.

What I got annoyed by with doing the work I do is that I couldn't go to my community's mass. That's kinda petty, I know, but it's my community, and I know the people there. I know the mood, etc. Instead of always thinking up where I could go for mass.

The upshot of that, of course, is mostways I get to hang out with May and have mass with her at Mega (hey May!).

Etc

I've heard rave reviews, and I must add my own: Max Factor's Lipfinity rocks. No smudge, no budge. I'll be wearing it tomorrow for work :D

Fifth Level of Hell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx.


The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Fifth Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	High
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful)	Moderate
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Very Low
Level 7 (Violent)	Moderate
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Low

Take the Dante's Inferno Test

Damn. I had a killer schedule yesterday. Lemme see if I can break it down. I'm still too dazed.

4am - Woke up, surfed a little. Posted.

5am - Showered, dressed (or starting to)

5:30am - tiff with Mom about (guess what?) what I was wearing. Shucked the blazer and just wore a nice red blouse.

5:45am - Emergency call to Wes and Jus looking for someone to print my resume. The printer chose today to have PMS. Wes was out of paper. Jus was nice enough to say yes. If it wasn't weird, I'd have texted him a virtual Mwah! but of course, it'd be weird.

6am - left the house

6:30am - rode the shuttle. Started to get nervous because I didn't know what building I was supposed to go to.

7:30am - got to Makati. Went to Starbucks to wait it out.

8:20am - Jus and I went up

8:30am - appointment scheduled

9am-9:15am - was interviewed. Was given a 2pm interview at another building (the 2nd interview). Jus and Wes were recommended to other accounts.

9:15-12nn - waited for Jus and Wes' interviews to finish

12-1:10pm - long lunch

1:30pm - was at the other office for the 2pm appointment.

I was scheduled at 2, but was interviewed at 3 (rolls eyes)

3-310pm - I was finished. She told me that she'll forward my resume to her boss, who'd conduct a phone interview either that evening, or tomorrow morning

4:02pm - from that other appointment, I rushed to grab a cab to get to Ortigas by 4. Got there in the nick of time and rushed to the 4pm appointment. I went in, and they were just starting to give out the orientation forms. This one invited me for an orientation/contract signing.

They gave a rundown of things to expect, gave us bank forms to sign for the payroll system, then the contract. Contract looks fine print-free enough. I had to ask some stuff (because if the deal doesn't suit, I'm outta there).

6pm - Orientation ends. Walked to the mall to spend the gift cert my sis gave me for Cinderella. Bought lipstick that I otherwise would not buy for cash. Hehe. Good investment ;)

8:30pm - rode the shuttle to that Acoustic Night Chi told me about.

9:10pm - met up with Chi. Took her to dinner at Fazoli's. Yum

9:40pm - met up with JP. Still eating.

10:40pm - walked to that Acoustic Night thing. Good music.

11:30pm - walked out, got a table and hung out. Jus texted that he was coming over.

12:30mn - Jus arrives. Bleh. Why is it that in my world, the GUYS are late? Something's wrong here. Wes kept on saying he'd be coming over, but he didn't. The man's just too old. Lol.

1:30am - dispersed. Chi and I took a cab, and Dad met us halfway home.

2am - got home. Crashed into the shower. Bed.

3am - for some reason, I woke up at 3. Found out that the PC couldnt connect to the internet. Defragged the bastard. Finished defragging at 4 (slept for an hour). Found out that the first dial-up file went bad, so I just made a new one.

7:41am - I'm still awake and online. Hope someone calls me today for that phone interview.

*crosses fingers*

Oy May, thanks. Lola Luz is my mom's dad's sister. So, my maternal grandfather's sister.

Israel Son, 10 hours is pretty fast, I think, considering the book's 890 pages long. :D

Jobhunting

Went to jobhunt with Wes and Jus. The first one we went to signed us up for a second interview the following day. The second one only took me in for the second interview. They're going to let me know tomorrow whether I'd be okay for training or not.

Funny that neither Jus or Wes made the second one, though. Because it was a tech support campaign, and of the three of us, I was the least tech-y person. Weird. But that's the way the ball rolls, I suppose.

Almost-death in the family

Tita Bing called last night to tell us that Lola Luz was saying goodbye. It would've been about 5am in California, and she said they were only counting her last days. It's sad, and strange, because we're already mourning her leaving and she's still here, know what I mean? But the sadness is more because she's leaving, instead of her dying or anything. On the contrary, she's lead a really happy life, with her family. Just that she's loved so much by the people around her. Even Bry was in tears when I told him. He was about four or so when Lola Luz came over to visit and they stayed for a couple of months.

Have I said that I like Athenaeum?

Here are a few more of their lyrics:

On My Mind
I don't know what to
Think about
It's just something that's
Been on my mind
If the mood ain't right
You might say goodnight
Leave me here in this shallow bedroom

You take a little more than I can find
It all comes down to change my mind
And every word you say makes me feel so small
I just don't understand at all

I don't know what you
See inside me
I've been lucky so
I can't complain
If the mood is right
You might stay the night
Lead me into my humble bedroom

You took a little more than I could give
From all the life I've had to live
And every word you say makes me feel at home
I just don't want to be alone

You take a little more than I can find
It all comes down to change my mind
And every word you say makes me feel so small
I just don't understand at all

Flat Tire
So tough
I didn't even wanna chew
You're lies were the best I ever knew
New car new clothes
New attitude
You were always in the headlines weren't you?

You better slow down
They're draggin' your name all over this town

No luck
Always in second place
A flat tire on the road to a better place
And you know
There's some things that you can't deny
That you were always on the run with some other guy

You better slow down
They're draggin' your name all over this town
What comes around goes around

The truth is gonna come out
And I'll be the first to open my mouth
But who is gonna treat your right?
You better know tonight

The truth is gonna take place
And I'll be the first one savin' my face
But who's gonna love you more?
No one ever knows for sure
Who?

Okay. 24 hours after buying it, I'm finished!

Reading it on and off, you see, because my brother and I swapped a couple times. I think I've read this book (minus sleep, minus my brother's time and nagging).. in about ten hours.

SO Chi and I went to National to get our copy. We got there, and I had a little panic attack coz I thought the store'd be closed. Turned out it was open, and the moment we walked in the saleslady went, "Harry Potter-?"

Man oh man, those copies were beautiful. Blue on blue with black and silver. They now tie with GOF on cover art, I think. SOOOoo beautiful. We paid for our copies, then went out. They put the book in plastic, and then put it in a plastic bag. So now it had three layers on it: shrink-wrap, the NB plastic, AND the plastic bag. As soon as Chi and I got out, we tore through the plastic and started walking while reading (habit since high school)

Went our separate ways. Chi has work, but she said she'll be bringing it to the office and have bragging rights. We already stole out of the house so Bry's be left and I wouldn't have anyone else to share the book with for the first thirty minutes.

Climbed into the jeep, and started reading. I guess the passengers looked at me funny. Instead of taking the trike home, I opted for the jeep. Mainly because the jeep stops at the subdivision gate, and I'd rather walk home than give directions to the trike driver. SO. I jumped off, and started walking while reading. I got home, still reading, and all the while I kept on gasping/cussing/saying "Oh God!" at the stuff I was reading. :D And that was like, the first three chapters.

I didn't want to ring the bell when I got home, coz I wanted the book to myself longer. So I stopped at the sidewalk, sat down, and continued reading. I swear. It was only until I heard my brother moving about in the kitchen did I run (sneakily) under the gate and ring the bell. We had a neighbor pass by with his wife. They were driving by, and they honked the horn at me while I was sitting there at the driveway reading. I merely smiled, and lifted the cover of the book: "HP Book 5" They have kids who are Potter-obsessed too, so I'm sure they'd be telling that to their children.

Bry opened the gate, and I lifted the book to show him the cover. He went "SHit. Shit. Holy shit." and he opened the gate.

Sigh. All for fandom.

Alright. My favorite new band is Athenaeum. If you haven't heard their songs, you might want to look them up. The lyrics just rock.

What I Didn't Know
I complain, though nothing's even wrongThat's when I said I'll need, more than
you can offer me
I miss your face, as you can tell
Hope my absence makes you well
and you're ashamed, 'cause you're not quite that strong
[chorus]
Cause what I didn't know, is I was killing you
I said a lot of things, that I didn't mean to
but I am older now, and I am sorry too
so I can wait awhile, if I brings me back to you
I am shy, I never speak a word
And you are numb, from all the things you never heard
That's when I said I'll need more than you can offer me
And now I own an empty space
And I can't fill it with your face
[chorus]
Cause what I didn't know, is I was killing you
I said a lot of things, that I didn't mean to
but I am older now, and I am sorry too
so I can wait awhile, if I brings me back to you
That's when I said I'll need, more than you can offer me
I miss your face, as you can tell
Hope my absence makes you well
[chorus]
Cause what I didn't know, is I was killing you
I said a lot of things, that I didn't mean to
but I am older now, and I am sorry too
so I can wait awhile, if I brings me back to you


No One
You're telling me things
I already know
You take me places
I never would go
And you act so freely
Like the world was your own
You can do anything you want
But you don't leave me alone
And no one feels
And no one feels like we do
When we will learn
That nothing is real
And everything's changing
Except what we feel
And out on your doorstep I was all butterflies
Cause all of the moonlight in the sky
Was no match for your eyes
And no one feels
And no one feels like we do
You're telling me things
I don't want to hear
But you are my answer
When nothing is clear
And the music played softly
As you whispered a word
I had to sigh and catch my breath
From what I had heard
And no one feels
And no one feels like we do

Huzzah!
You're a fantasy-loving weirdo.
You love all things mystically-artistic and
imagined. Middle-Earth, Pern, Magic:The
Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, (maybe even
Harry Potter?) are all names you know well, and
embrace all the time. You know how to where a
cloak with stiyel, and you're not ashamed to
admit that you've done online searches for
instructions on how to make fairy wings. You're
very cool. :o)


What kind of weirdo are you?
