This post clearly shows why I should stop drinking

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Somebody should stop me from drinking. People just watch me go… That is the problem when meowy‘s not with me when drinking, I get very loud. I always say, di na ako iinom per patuloy ko pa ring ginagawa. I think I need to drink only with friends and with VERY strict supervision. I always hope I don’t turn people off. I have a strong personality when I am drunk. Friends used to tell me that my personality shifts when I am drinking.

I woke up at 12 noon and threw out bile, then slept again til 3:30.

I feel better now, there’s a lot of food at home, my aunt who came from Hong Kong whipped a lot of good food. My favorite is X.O., I don’t know how it is spelled but I am writing it as how they pronounce it. It’s a spicy concoction of scallop shreds and shrimp in oil. I love it. But today, I am not in the mood to eat. Just ate biko (my parents bought it for my uncle) and a couple spoonfuls of lengua and a piece of fried chicken. Very unhealthy indeed.

There are times I feel like I am deluding myself. I sometimes question the things that I do.

I am not horny enough

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I think it is now safe for me to write this, and I seriously doubt I will receive a callback.

I really want to be writer, it is a dream I have. I mentioned of me applying for a staff writer position for the country’s leading men’s lifestyle magazine (It’s not hard to guess the mag, isn’t it?) on my last post.  What have I got to lose? Nothing! I am the least person you’ll expect to apply for the company.

So I was shortlisted  for an interview… I attribute that for using word taboo on my initial application through the web. I may be wrong but that’s the only reason I can imagine. I made some preparations… I brought some of my sample works (more like edited and upgraded versions of my more outstanding posts) that I hope will extensively show my range as a writer. I have been expecting a formal interview which will challenge me as being a novice and yes, I have expected it to eventually dabble on the topic of sex. It is, after all, a men’s magazine.

So dressed up in one of my best get up (a bit conscious that I wore my high-cut military green sneakers with my business casual attire) I went to their offices and realized that this is only the third time I applied for a non-call center job (the others are course-related that I turned down) and the first from this industry.

I fought the nerves.

This year…

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Ang galing pala! I can still remember 1999, may mga taong concerned dati na baka magunaw na ang mundo pag tungtong ng year 2000. Ngayon 2009 na at di pa rin nagugunaw ang mundo. It seems just recently but the events in between seems so long ago. Tapos 26 years and 5 days old na ako.

I have to accept that I am not getting any younger, I still feel as idealistic as I was when I was 19. I still feel I am 19 but no! I am old. I think I have not taken my life seriously and I am just following the tide.

Writing about posting, drinking, working and other related stuff not pertinent to this very long post title

Friday, May 30th, 2008

What is it today? I haven’t been writing much or reading any other blog these days due to my job and my girl. So, I promised that I shall write some more until my domain expires.

I am also trying to write in consistent English right now, I think it doesn’t suit me well but I don’t want to end up like some gross blogger that reads like a sleazy Filipino entertainment tabloid writer (and yes! I get my daily dose of tabloid, don’t ask me why).

Everything again is uneventful in my life, and the least thing I’d like to do is gush about my girlfriend… she reads this blog and all about my previous derelictions and indiscretions. Unlike some bloggers out there, I can’t pull it off. I know a blogger who can write about love and sex (almost in every single post) and still be amusing in a non-Penthouse kind of way. 

I am still training for the new job I have. My product trainer is as boring as one can get and a lot of my co-workers are bored to death by the man. I kinda like the guy, he’s weird. Yeah, I like weird people. Hahaha! I might make a step to be friends with the guy… NAAAH!

They have this policy that when you’re absent twice during training, you lose your job. I have to blame my girlfriend’s friends because of that. Or just myself, you see, I haven’t been drinking since I left my old job and I missed it so much. They suggested that going to work intoxicated is much more terminable than being absent. I was convinced by their very rational justification and so, I didn’t go to work.

The First Day

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Nagsimula na ako ng trabaho kagabi. Panibagong adjustment at mga bagong mga tao na kailangan makasalimuha. At ang masasabi ko lang… hindi ako magtatagumpay sa plano ko na maging bahagi ng isang grupo. Bigla kong na-miss yung wavemates ko sa dati kong kompanya (panget man ang management, OK lang yung mga tao) dahil naging bahagi ako ng buhay nila. Sila yung nagungulit sa akin pag hinihiwalay ko yung aking sarili.

 Sana nasa floor agad, at least pwede akong maging loner. Ayoko talaga sa classroom learning.

Of pre-employment

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Nung hinire ako sa trabaho ko (di pa ako officially nagsa-start), irritable ako kasi ayokong tinatanong ako ng personal. Instead na final interview, feeling ko, under interrogation ako. Andaming tanong at medyo nagiging sarcastic na ako. At para sa isang tao na katulad ko na medyo mahaba yung pasensya naasar pa ako. Di ko inexpect na tatanggapin ako.

Pero tinanggap ako. Para sa isang call center, napaka-strikto nila. Kahapon habang nasa medical exam ako for pre-employment, may bumisita sa bahay at pumunta sa mga kapitbahay at kung anu-anong tinatanong. Aba! Parang nag-apply ako sa isang highly confidential government facility at napaka-thorough naman ng mga ito. Akala tuloy ng kapitbahay namin napakalaki ng magiging sweldo ko.
