Think of difficult people as sandpaper. They may rub nd scratch you painfully, but eventually, you'll end up beautiful and smooth. and the sandpaper ends up...worn out...

on hobbies, reminiscing, jamming, and my 1st week at work.

yeeeeeeeeh!!! congratulate me! it's my first week as a yuppie! pero honestly, i feel as if it's already been 10 years...oh well! but i'm having fun naman so far kaya ok lang! =p

i really like my work. but i'm still in that stage wherein im not sure if i really want to stay in the corporate world for long or if i want to be my own boss and make a business out of my hobbies. but i was thinking din na hobbies are hobbies. period. it's something that makes you a well-rounded person and it's the biiiiiig cushion na you lie on when you're tired of the routines. it's not supposed to be something na kailangan problemahin pa...right?!

i was talking to an officemate (OH MY GOD DID I JUST SAY THAT?!?) about it yesterday. sya rin kasi may hobby. he does photography and he seems good naman. he actually worked for a professional photographer before. e ako din kasi i want to take up photography more than anything else e. he says that time comes when you think that parang everything you're doing's just the same and parang feeling mo you're not getting any better. and then later on, baka mawalan ka na ng gana! ayoko naman mangyari yun! oh well! bahala na! HELLER! like one week palang ako sa woooork!!!

although people are great in the office (it's like a huuuuge barkada in a sense) and the workload, though heavy, is okay naman, i can't help but miss my friends and my bandmates. wala lang. as you know, yesterday was very magulo. dami rallies and people screaming for GMA to resign...RG and i work in the same office. and we just started talking about issues the way we used to at the tambayan..then we started reminiscing about what it would've been like if janice, elvin, kate, jay, boom, and the others were there. so we called and rounded up everyone! RG, janice, elvin and me ended up together at Metrowalk. we stayed in Cravings and just started talking. it was really good to see some old friends talaga! i loved our discussion and i loved the food (THANKS RG dear!). wala lang...i miss you guys!!!

and then RG and i were off to my officemate's house in Xavierville for this party. YUP, I'M ACTUALLY HANGING IN THE NORTH. kasama pa namin si elvin. hehehe punta pa kasi dapat ponti after. anyways, so we hung out for a while, sang some songs on the magic mic, and i was forced to drink 2 shots of brandy. ew. now i got these nasty rashes all over my back! as in buong back!!

since it's northern territory, i'm actually afraid to go anywhere without kasama. hehehe so i bummed a ride off an officemate, but we needed to go to katipunan first kasi she's meeting up her college barkada. i was a little out of place but ok lang naman kasi they were nice! but no matter how nice all of them were, i still can't relate to the kwentuhans and all. hehehe. so i ended up jamming with the band!!!

YUP! I JAMMED WITH A BAND! i miss tin, bing, prijm, jay, and the music we play more than anything else. especially now that i'm feeling the whole office girl vibe. it was such a welcoming release to jam with these guys. rockoustic music nila, though on the pop side. but hey! that's music parin! i sang Head Over Feet with a shaky voice that didn't quite reach the right notes (hey! i have an excuse! i was still all red and shaking from the drink they gave me at the party!). and then instead of sitting back down, i jammed with them. i did percs. they actually wanted me to play the guitar and sing but i didn't trust myself then kasi nga i was shaking and all...but nevertheless, i still jammed with them and di naman ako nagkamali-mali! hahaha! but i got this nasty bruise on my hand from the tambourine. hehehe :p afterwards, the guitarist and i kinda talked for a while about...music, what else?!? and then he said something na parang i seem like a natural on the stage, and that parang i've got an ear for music since i never went offbeat. so sabi ko i have a band. then yun, kwentuhan, la la la la la...then sabi nya i have a nice voice daw...hehehe *blush* saya! sarap pakinggan! sabi ko nga what a way to end my week! sayang! wala akong pics!!! hmph! next investment, digital cam!

gosh! yun lang! i should do this more often!

bow.

hear me.
