The Table... *Bow*

I was enjoying the silence of my room this afternoon when Mom suddenly came in showing me a flyer of Shopwise's Furniture Sale. I've been wanting to buy a new table where I can put the laptop and the printer side by side because I think the typical computer table setup is sooo yesterday. So I checked the flyer and I was instantly smitten by the low low prices.  At once I asked dad to accompany me to Shopwise to see the pieces for myself.

When I saw the one I was eyeing earlier, I knew right there that I'm gonna buy it. I thought hard, trying to figure out if my impulses are getting the better of me again. Needless to say, the impulse won. Funny because while the salesman was explaining to Dad how to assemble it, I was already imagining myself taking a picture of it and blogging about it. Hahaha. Excited much.

Fast forward to getting home. Granny (the same one I was talking about here) welcomed us with a heartwarming remark: "San mo naman ilalagay yan? Ibababa mo yung gamit ko, hindi ako papayag. Kung gusto mo yan buuin dun mo ilagay sa inyo!" Thank you very much. *Sigh*

I was infuriated. I was thinking she could have said that earlier just so I didn't purchase the d*mn table. I was so mad I was actually thinking of moving out. Uggh. We've been living under the same roof since time immemorial and we had had a lot of fights like this in the past and I feel so fed up already. She nags about everything: the water consumption, the kids running around, the tenants not going home often, the groceries I put in the fridge, the time I spend in front if the PC, the neighbor's daughter, the neighbor's daughter marrying too soon. Geez.

I want some peace and quiet. I want my own space :(

Babe, let's buy our own house, shall we?

P.S. About the table? It's dumped in my room, not even taken out of its box :(

Glee: The Things I Loved and Hated

To say that the world adores Charice in Glee's all new season is a huge understatement. Google and Twitter stats couldn't agree more. So I am definitely not making this just another rave item. Being a self-confessed Gleek, I will try to be very very objective instead and jot down some love and hate factors in the premiere episode. Lemme start...

LOVE: the mention that Charice is a Filipino, not merely Asian

HATE: excessive unnecessary hand gestures while singing "Listen" (well, yeah, she showcased her singing prowess, but still.. :P)

LOVE: Puck! Geez, I missed him! ^^,

HATE: Rachel's exaggerated facial expressions (She's been like that since season 1's pilot. Haven't you gotten used to it yet, Em?)

LOVE: the "Empire State of Mind" number. And oh, the statement shirt! I want one!

HATE: the annoying aura of the journalist/reporter/blogger in the opening scene. See, I don't even know his name.

LOVE: how much supportive a boyfriend Finn is, despite the girlfriend's attitude. LOL.

HATE: his two left feet. hahahaha.

LOVE: Kurt's confidence before he got slushied

HATE: Rachel's dress and white socks combo! Goodness, a tiny fashion sense won't hurt!

LOVE: the casting director's ability to find a female version of Ken Tanaka (seriously, just looking at her makes me laugh)

HATE: the bouncer-looking guy carrying Charice's Hello Kitty backpack

LOVE: Sam Evans' first few lines of Billionaire

HATE: Hairography in Telephone (if you just tuned in to Glee, Google can prolly help you out with the H word :))

LOVE: Sue! She's a classic! And she just met her match in the person of Beiste.

HATE: the fact that I can't remember anything about Mr. Schue. Oh, was he there? Hahaha.

LOVE: the vibes that Wednesdays will be a no O.T. day :D

HATE: Friggin' commercials!!! >=(

Agree? Differ? Go write your own. Kiddin' :P

I am so pissed off with my own stupidity

An hour earlier, I was talking to my Victoria's Secret Cologne while I transferred some of its contents to a smaller atomizer that I carry in my bag everyday:

"Dear cologne, please stay with me until Richard* comes back on December and gives me another bottle for pasalubong."

*Richard is a college classmate-turned-officemate-turned-true friend who is assigned to the US for work.

And now that I'm about to leave the house, I opened my drawer, took a hanky and got so freaked out because it was drenched in my beloved body mist! T_T

Other stuffs in the drawer are bathing in VS scent too. *Sigh* Turns out I forgot to screw the bottle close a while ago. What's supposed to last until the end of the year is all gone. Stupid stupid me :(

I Love Being Tardy

Oh, don't get me wrong. I know my title isn't so positive but please let me explain.

I tried so hard to be early to work today because Jhay's been bugging me to keep up with his work hours so that we'd get home at the same time. And this morning I badged in at 8:50. I sort of succeeded because I normally get in at 11am. But what the hell, I'm not sure if I wanna do it again.

Everytime I get here early, I tend to be in a bad mood. Do you have any idea how it is to commute to Makati during the 7am-9am period? Man, it's crazy! Those freaking conductors always get into my nerves! They keep letting people inside the bus even if it's all cramped up already. And knowing how big I am and how hard it'll be for me to get out, making me move farther from the door from time to time just isn't funny. And for crying out loud, I'm getting off after 5 blocks!

That's exactly the reason why I love my tardiness. Leaving home around 10am makes commuting a breeze. I love how laid-back people are this time of the day. I get to the office without much hassle and I am in the right mood to start my day.

But just to make myself a little perked up, I am going home at 5:50! :) And honey's gonna fetch me! And there's a little celebration at home because it's my inaanak Kurt's birthday!

Now get those test scripts done, Em.

Today I am...

..not okay :(

Typhoon "Basyang" hit Luzon yesterday. The winds are awful. Around 12:30am, I was awakened by the loud pounding of my bedroom window (think native Capiz window and super strong wind). I went for a quick trip to the comfort room and when I got back, I charged my phone. In about 15 minutes, lo and behold, the electricity went out! :(

I had a hard time going back to sleep. Yeah it isn’t hot so not having an electric fan isn’t that big a deal. But my gosh, it’s like the mosquitoes are set to party all night! Needless to say, I woke up the next morning with more or less 5 mosquito bites, per leg that is.

And to top it all, I have sore eyes.

Much as I wanted to take a sick leave, I can’t. I have a lot of test scripts to execute and a deadline to meet. My worry is that my eyes would be worse because I’m in front of the PC all day.

Oh, I am ranting too much already. I should be thankful because at the very least, I got my phone charged now. Problem is I have battery but I don’t have signal. I am sooooooooo looking forward to sunny days already. Cause it looks like my network provider is literally sun-dependent. LOL.
