Hotel and other things

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I love the Manila Peninsula. It’s so nice there. The food is great, the staff are nice, it’s like perfect. It even has P’s on the towel. P for Peninsula and P for my name. Oh! I love it there. The tub was just the right size for me. The bath robe is just the right size and fits so well, it seems it was made for me.

We had this really great buffet breakfast and we had plenty of pictures. It’s not everyday that you get to be in a five-star hotel. So lumabas ang ka-jologs-an namin. The people there are nice. From the reservation desk when I called to everybody there, from the front desk even to the chefs.

I owe it all to Xandee and Shamie who sold the GC for three thousand pesos!

But all good things come to an end. We have to leave that nice place.

I just got confirmation that I passed the screening for freelance work. I will work on that tomorrow. I wonder what topic to choose. I tend to be dull and uninteresting if I find the topic dull. If all goes well, I may consider doing it full-time.

I’ve been watching a lot of anime. Naruto us still fun to see. I also saw Dragon Hunters, a nice french film. I loved it so much, you should see it.

I also have Coraline and Ponyo to finish.

I hope that everything goes well next year. Hoping, it will be a better one.

Chirstmas Day of ’09

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Christmas day of ’09. What can I say? It is approximately 1:28 p.m. since I started this post.

Last night, I saw Blood: The Last Vampire on DVD. Beautiful visual experience but I don’t get it.  It’s a movie that I probably need to check more, the original movie, the anime, the manga. I feel bad that these talented Japanese actresses are forced to read English lines and have difficulty enunciating their R’s. When they say Aris, they really mean Alice!

Why can’t they just have them speak in their normal Japanese tongues with subtitles?

I was able to see District 9 as well, and it was better than what I expected it to be. The beginning is kind of annoying, well, the protagonist was for some parts BUT it was good, good, good! I am glad I saw it.

My sister is watching DVD. It stars Bea Alonzo and Sam Milby.

I hate Spam Milby, I am disgusted by him. Nakakainis sya, naiirita ako sa kanya. Dapat sila magsama ni Richard Gutierrez. Naiirita ako sa kanila! Letse sila.

Wooh! Now that’s out of my system, we can move on to something better to talk about… like how much I hate vampires right now… and werewolves. I hate New Moon, Twilight, Vampire Diaries and True Blood. I am sick of seeing Edward on posters. I hate seeing Jacob on FB. I hate how people are talking all the time about vampires.

Sick sick sick!

When children face the world

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

I get annoyed when people whine and they complicate their lives.

I really like boring. I don’t like shaking things up. I tell that to people. I don’t grow up because I want things nice and simple, no conflict.

Just Happy.

That is my take on what would make a perfect society. The world I want with little if no complication is one for the books. You cannot control everything. Even if you think you’re not hurting people, you still do.

Sydney’s biggest fan

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Meow, my girlfriend of almost two years has this weird standard with friends or people she find amusing or people she likes.

Unlike me, I either like or hate people, and I try to get along with anybody who wants be friends with me. She doesn’t like people if she senses something. It’s a woman-thing that I stopped trying to understand. I sometimes think she’ll like some people but finds them very annoying.

One day while browsing  Facebook, I found a friend request from an old classmate. She’s not really one I’d call a good friend but rather a very good acquaintance who’s been nothing but nice and pleasant to me.

Irresponsible Dog Owners

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Sasha, the puppy with the bad case of ADHD has grown up and gave birth to puppies, five puppies. I wonder how those little fat things ever fit Sasha’s small frame.

Our house always had dogs.

I like dogs. Meow even likens me to a dog.

One night on my way home, I saw a truck carrying stray dogs. The idea of what would happen to them if no one claims them breaks my heart.

I hate irresponsible dog owners.

I hate our neighbors.

Santa’s letters and decorating the place

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

I woke up. The birds are chirping, the sun is up and shining, and yes, there are always flowers in our very small garden. It could have been a wonderful day if not for the fact that I have work.

At work, because earnings season is over, there is very little to do. Many of us are helping out with the Christmas decorations yesterday. The theme for our department is Santa’s factory. They are making a big deal about it. There is a contest for it, and the Asians Equity department always win.  Let’s face it, as creative as we Filipinos are, if pitted against a group comprising of Koreans, Chinese and Japanese, we stand a small chance (I think it’s a cultural thing) plus they earn a lot more money than we do (just think of their budget — big). But who knows, with the effort they are giving into it… Baka manalo kami.
