random thoughts

i've been trying to come up with something profound to write but apparently, for lack of anything interesting to say, rather for being too lazy to write about anything, i'm left with an almost blank page everytime I try to blog... hopefully not this time...

the long vacation last week really helped a lot in clearing my thoughts...as rotss mentioned in her blog, we discussed our life plans in the next couple of years, all four of us: raine, rots, mike and me. Basically, we discussed our career plans, since most of us are not really doing well in the love department...among all of us, I must say ako ung pinaka hindi compelled to leave our current companies, considering ako pinakalowest paid among the group...but then again, it made me think about my reasons for staying in company A...do I really see myself growing old in this company? or am I just too scared to try other opportunities? honestly speaking, I am not a very big fan of change and moving to a new company just scares the hell out of me kaya I have not really seriously considered moving to greener pastures...also, I must say medjo ok pa naman ako with company A eh...I mean, I'm pretty much enjoying my role and I'm thankful for the opportunities that they have given me for the past 3 years and 3 months...the pay just sucks lang talaga...sucks big time that colleagues doing the same shit earn almost double if not more...after some serious thinking, I resolve to find greener pastures that offer both career growth and truckloads of money...and if it can be helped, ung hindi ren naman patayan sa trabaho...hehehe...too much to ask you might say, pero if it worked for other people, why not for me? chaka sabi nga nila, if you ask for something from God, dapat specific talaga para you don't end up complaining after he has given you what you asked for...

last friday, i got a little nostalgic as memey, noel, beniedick and I had a trip down memory lane...twas glenn's (memey's bf) birthday and memey asked us to meet at UST and buy a bouquet of roses at dangwa...I remembered a few years back when I accompanied these 2 guys to dangwa to get some flowers for the "women of their lives" at that time...more than 5 times ata kami nagpabalik-balik sa mga stores looking for the finest flowers but we ended up emptyhanded coz wala silang napili...this was the night before feb 14 ha, so you can just imagine kung gano kadami ang tao that time!!! eniweis, we left the bundle of roses that memey bought to the flower arranger and started our "adventure"...first stop, almer's--the best sisig in the heart of dapitan! and did I mention it's pretty cheap too? for 45 bucks(this was during our time, not sure if nagmahal na), you get this whole sizzling plate full of sisig with egg, just order a cup of rice (a friend's record-high if I remember correctly was 5 cups of rice for a plate of sisig!) and you get an overflowing gravy to match! too bad it was closed when we visited last friday :( most of the places we missed after college were closed so we ended up eating at wendy's...dito naman kami bumibili ng food during all-nighters sa dorm kc 24-hours sha open...after eating, we decided to pass by our dorm...hayy...the street was still the same, even the boarding houses looked the same, ung tenants lang ung nagbago...we had a peek of what used to be "our" room from an open window and the double deck bed was still there after more than 3 years...then we passed by the store where we usually rent vcds (di pa mashado uso dibidi nun)...hayy...nakakamiss ung panahon na simple pa ang lahat..when we didn't care about money and taxes and economic crisis and political hullabaloos...

after going to UST, off we went to memey's house, and then to glenn's...medjo lang free-flowing ang beer...di ko mashado feel uminom kaya I was able to down 3 bottles of sanmig light lang...if you know me well enough, this is way down my drinking quota...hehehe...eniweis, enjoy naman ung party coz I got to meet some of glenn's friends from college, office and church...super funny ni niño (still can't get over that prison story) and jason had his share of the spotlight din..ang kukulet!! but there's this one guy who caught my attention coz he reminded me of somebody else...kaso lang he's a little shorter than me :( at medjo kapuso itu sa kalokohan ni glenn nung araw and that's not a very encouraging thought...but he's really funny kaya lalo ako nahook...silly thing i did was just when he was starting a conversation, I just stood there, as if in a trance, and all i did was give one-liner answers to his questions...mental note: i should enroll in a refresher course to flirting 101! hayy...as rots puts it, hirap nang walang alam sa pangengerengkeng! =S
