Raising hell

(Warning: Long post, a bit rambling)
On packing: My last day of work has been eventful so far. I woke up early as usual and hung around the house, started sorting out my preliminary packing and ended up nearly finalising everything. I usually have a couple of packing rehearsals before fixing the locks on the luggage and [...]

Resignation tips

You could always disappear for a few days and then text your friend at HR (or not) that you’re not returning to work, ever. That’s real classy.
Seriously, it may be a bit of an effort but believe me it’s so much better to leave the company with a smile on your face. You’re already moving on [...]

TV’s busted

The remote control’s batteries died a couple of weeks ago and since then, I haven’t been watching television because I’m too lazy to get up and flip channels. I’m not much of a TV watcher but I do watch it from time to time, see what kind of adventures Bear Grylls gets himself up to, [...]

Sunday is Pacquiao day!

I’m so excited and nervous! Oh sweet anticipation!

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 [...]

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 [...]

Crash

Got into a car crash last Sunday at 4 in the morning, on the way to drive someone to the airport. I was right when I said he should have just taken a cab. It was a mess. K wasn’t drunk but she said she was feeling really sleepy, so that’s kinda like the same [...]

2 weeks later and my passport renewal story

Next thing I know it’s been two weeks since I last wrote.
Well as you know, the US Open is under way, heaps of amazing matches have been won and lost. Not that I’ve seen more than the highlights just before I go to sleep at night. I’ve been so busy!

Oh I have to [...]

Words words words

Last night I went to a poetry reading on a whim, with some of my work colleagues. Pretty good whim. I almost didn’t go but I’m glad I forced a smile on my face and said the magic words: “Let’s get out of here” (most common phrase spoken in films, believe it or not…I’m walking [...]

Lovely guitar, less than lovely buyers

Adam, Adam, Adam — I’ve not been good to you.
Last weekend, I sold my guitar. That was an ordeal if I ever saw one. Since I am going to be unemployed soon, I am feeling the pinch of a tight budget. Okay maybe it’s not a tight budget because I planned my finances down [...]
