Reschooling

I never enjoyed classes as much as I am right now. Well, the language courses can probably compete. First of all, can I just say that I’m loving the whole NOT WORKING part of being a student? But yes yes I know I should have be part time jobbing by now.
The school is new so [...]

Freeeeeeee time = must build empire

Woohoo I have my free time back! And I’ve been celebrating most of it by playing Imperia Online and being incredibly obsessed with developing my town. It’s kinda like Civilization but it is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

Currently I have 7,336 people and I’ve been building granaries like crazy just to boost population growth. I need [...]

Parents’ birthday

My parents are celebrating their birthday today. We got them cake and flowers and various other things. In fact, the flowers should be arriving at the house now. Very expensive flowers, they deliver themselves. Mother and Father are sure to be tickled pink. I’ll pick up the cake later after work.
So yeah, they have the [...]

Drivel

Fuck it’s so busy in the office. My team and I are in the middle of producing 7 bloody catalogs. Fuck the clients keep changing their fucking minds and then they review the old PDFs, without bothering to even look at the new ones and then send an indignant email demanding why the modifications haven’t [...]

Halloween haters

There was a fair amount of people that got in the spirit of dressing up for Halloween here in Manila. Every year, I always mean to and every year I end up being too lazy to properly get into it.
This year has been somewhat different. The HR department at work decided they wanted people to [...]

So not carbon neutral

So I had carbon for dinner. No, it’s not slang for a pasta dish. With rice and iced tea.
I tried to cook bacon for dinner. First off, the whole damn thing was frozen solid and I didn’t have time to let it thaw out. Since I couldn’t peel the strips off, I just took a [...]

Discovery sweets

I’ve only just discovered that cheeseburger and coffee go REALLY well together. I love it. I just polished off a Wendy’s cheeseburger and chased it down with my usual 38-peso coffee. Let me tell you my friend, it is heaven. They’re squishing about in my tummy very nicely right now. Yummy.
Ok what’s on the agenda [...]

Conspiracy and some office drama

I’ve been SO busy with work :’(
On the downside-but-really-upside, I’ve been plagued with a series of HTML emails that need to be cleaned up and revised. It’s very stressful since I have no idea what I’m doing but it’s good  training. It’s something I’ll probably like to freelance later on anyway. I’m just whining.
Semi-slave has [...]

Testy tummy at work no. 2

I don’t know why but I feel the need to document this stomach saga.
So I had the spiciest version of Bicol Express for lunch. To teach my tummy a lesson. Well it’s staging a mutiny in there at the moment, I can feel dissent reverberating through the walls of my stomach. To ignore it, I [...]

Dehydration dummy

I was struck down with dehydration last Sunday. Plus my tummy disagreed with the chili con carne I had for dinner. It was a loud and bitter disagreement. I had to skip work on Monday.
K and I were meant to go boxing but when we went to the gym, the only ones there were the receptionist and [...]
