Pinoy Wasteland

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.

I am not sure.

Back in the day (so long ago it seems), I was obsessed with understanding existence.. that went on for sometime, I know I will never understand it but I wanted to. Then I got older and did what a lot of people do, stop thinking.

Life is like it always has (in the perspective of your typical cynic), I still feel lonely sometimes but I have learned to accept that as how it will always be for me… yeah, yeah, I have always been writing this way (I am not sure if my old readers even read my post anymore).

Medyo kadiri man, ikwento ko na kung paano inirrigate ang tenga ko.

Part ng pre-employment namin ang medical exam. Nabanggit ko na yun minsan at nakita nila na may nakabara sa tenga ko. For some reason, I was not advised by my previous employer’s doctors that it’s  there. Kaya nang makita yun sa akin, sinabihan ako na pumunta sa espesyalista (kasi matagal na yun). Di ko man lang napansin kasi feeling ko my hearing is good.

So I had an ENT specialist look at it and had to drop some otic solution on it for a week. It’s really gross but at the same time fun. I really like the crackling sound of the fluid as it penetrates into the hardened wax. It’s some work, having the need to lie on your side or having your head reclined like you have a weird nervous disorder. And after a few days, I get more deaf. Yung gamot nagse-stay pa rin sa loob.

I hardly have time to go online these days. I check my mail and that is it. I hardly bloghop and there’s a lot of unfinished webdrafts to do (makes you wonder why I am not paid to do this).

I am on my second week at work. Still, I find myself alone. And again, I build my popular reputation of being a quiet, passive guy.

I think I am going brain-dead again. And I only blame myself. I shall buy a book this weekend.

I have so many ideas but too lazy to write them.

Rain falls outside, finally. My lover is gong crazy over rubik’s cube. I would need to have my ears irrigated, it’s starting to get gross.

I think my life is no longer as compartmentalized as it used to. It’s a bit scary. My system has been broken by getting into a relationship. Good or bad? I am not sure, but it feels good, mostly. And that’s the scary part.

I started calling myself JP again.

When i was in elementary to High School I was called by my full first name: Jose Paulo (parang isang tauhan sa telenovela). I decided that I should be called simply Paulo when I attended college.

So I am called Pao by people.

I wrote a post back in the day about names. I think I am the only Paulo I know who isn’t cool. Paulo is a cool name.

So I am back to being JP. Ngayon, inaasar ako ni meow na pang matinee idol/boy-next-door ang pangalan ko. JP is how I am called by family and a few friends. I think I get lucky when I use JP.

Bigla akong naninibago. Pag nakakarinig ako ng Pao, lumilingon ako. Pag tinawag akong JP… parang delayed reaction ako palagi.

Iniisip ko anong bagay na pangalan para sa akin.

Sa blog, iniisip ko kung papalitan ko yung jeeper ng jeepnoy just for a change at para mas Pinoy.
