Pinoy Wasteland

I saw this girl yesterday on the way home, I did OT again (one that I am beginning to be sick of), when I saw this pretty girl in the jeep. She was pretty, but she could have been beautiful. She had pretty eyes and nose, but there is something wrong. She was pleasant-looking but her beautiful eyes were too small in contrast to her larger nose. It’s not that her nose was big, it was too big for her eyes.

She had eyes like for the chinita types, but it was too big for her nose (that was very Filipino, a Filipino nose in a nice way). It is funny how we are all made to think of standards, maybe she is beautiful in some cultures. And I blame globalization.

We have talked  about beauty in length last weekend, maybe suitable for another post.

I saw episodes of The Wonder Years sometimes on the Hallmark channel.

In the episode I saw, Kevin Arnold is partnered with weird girl Margaret, the unpopular type that we all have in school. He realized she’s pretty cool even if “She asks too many questions, has a pet bat, and wears her hair in three pig tails (because you never know when you’re going to need a hair tie)”¹ .

I sometimes wonder why the world has come to be the way that it is. Like, who needs a college education when doing the things that many of us do? I think the diploma is just a reassurance for the companies that we are not idiots.

I think I want to be back in the time when we are trained my a master craftsman, be a novice and work your way up until you get to be called a Master, because you have become worthy.

We work then we see a large deduction on our pay slip, ridiculously large coz the government feels we need to pay that much for being a Filipino. I am enjoying being a Filipino right now.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Finally, I am blogging again.

Long story. Because I do not like paying anymore, I decided to quit my paid webhost. Then, I decided to use a free host that, I later learned, disabled SMTP connection, which is used by Akismet that I love because I hate SPAM, then I got annoyed that I was getting too many spam.

Then because there are site issues with my registrar, I go too lazy to contact them to manually configure my DNS servers (but I still love them). So here I am now. I was planning to try Joomla but I got confused by the interface, so I installed wordpress again. And Akismet works well here! And it’s free!

Sana andito pa yung readers ko. Di ko na rin kayo nabisita kasi:

I had technical problems  (not to be too redundant). Work (I always blame work). I waste too much time working, I’d rather stare at the wall than work. Meow’s dad died. She was very close to her dad. She’s not very close to her mom . Actually, her mom doesn’t like her. So it does happen. It’s a story that would probably make a cheezy telenovela. She ran away and nobody looked for her. We looked for a house and she ended up with her friend for now. We plan to be housemates next year. Housemates because we are wholesome.

Yes! I still have a job. I am a voice writer/editor but because I am not very good at voice writing, I am more into the editing and stuff. I am actually fairly good at it considering that I am a newbie and my annoyingly bad written blog (but of course they do NOT read my blog).

I have so many stories to tell. I have been creating drafts in my mind but it has evaded me.
