right when i left my apartment to go to church, i saw a wallet in the hallway. picked it up and placed it inside my apartment. and when i returned from church i was having a hard time devising a way on how to give it back to the owner. identification is there but there's no contact number. since i found it just in front of another unit, i decided to knock on that unit but there was no answer. i decided to ring the unit instead. someone picked up and told me that the person is not there at the moment, i told him what happened and decided to meet him and give him back the wallet. it felt good doing the right thing. i felt like a hero...

anyway, today i feel that i really lost an hour because of the DST thingey. although my friend told me that one hour is not a bigga deal i reckon with the busy times we're facing... every minute counts! so the moment i woke up this morning, i decided to make this day a productive one. it was a success. did all my laundry and dishes. i had my haircut and bought a contact lenses as well. now im going to cook my dinner and work a bit.

buying contact lenses here in australia is really a nightmare. with all the prescription before you buy it.. unlike back home where you can buy it just like a lollipop. u cant even change brands because that was what have been prescrbed by the optometrician. and to add to the horror, most of them do not keep stock so i have to wait for bloody whole week before i can get my contacts. good thing i checked it with other stores. now i can clearly see the world and wear a smile on the marvelous things surrounding me. :)

contrary to what the week's been, its all nice and sunny this weekend. With these, although I rented 3 DVDs I went to the city and watched movie with my pibedoka friends. We watched a very sexually graphic comedy movie - good luck chuck. definitely took away all the negative vibes i had for the whole week. certainly it should also be sunny tomorrow. im planning to join emie and friends' spit walk to manly.

after a year here in sydney, i guess i have my share of ups and downs. although the latter has some magnetic charm with me lately... i still think i have some better things in-stored for me for the next few weeks before i go on my vacation back home. suddenly, i felt all alone in my house and i can feel the misery creeping in. the thought that i will be back home seems to come under my skin. i cant help but feel the excitement already and have a hard time focusing on my work lately.

such a saturday night should not be spent at home but sometimes i have the feeling that i should be on my apartment to guard it against the bad phantom of strata. and incidents keep on coming but what the hell - i bought a kensington cable to guard my macbook.

anyway i guess i would just plunge on my dvd watching for a while.. tomorrows gonna be a busy day for me...

Get Your Sexy Name

This is what my name stands for?? I thought my mom got it from a burger? or it means a wise power. or maybe from the previous president of the US. but is it just offering naughty arousing lustful delights... and Im not even romeo!

Even though I still have the post-traumatic effects of the breaking-in, I can say that to some degree it wasn't that bad than I ever expected it to be. Just because I have my new bud to cheer me up. Its my new MacBook (though its freaking hard if you've been using Windows ever since). But still its really exciting.

I was too preoccupied the whole weekend exploring what it can do. And it can do soo many things. Because of him I wasn't able to start my work anytime over the weekend. And now I am procrastinating...

the moment i entered my pad i realised that something isn't right. i looked back at the front door to ensure that it is properly locked. for unknown reasons, i searched initially for my laptop. can't seem to find it and i was trembling to look at the sliding door from my bedroom to the balcony and was really freaking surprised to see that it is unlocked. i quickly realised that the incident that happened to my neighbour just happened to me. so foolish that i never checked that all doors are secured just because i am really late for work. i began calling my friends just to gain comfort and to bring back sanity in me. still made me tremble a lot when i looked at the bar and found out that two piggy bank cans that were almost filled were also taken from me. they even took my australian flag for crying out loud. imagine that that is a priceless thing i got when i was released from the hospital early this year.

got me thinking that for what its worth my laptop is almost close to breaking down. lot of virus coming from downloading all sorts of crap. call the thief stupid cos he didnt even stole the adapter for the laptop.

despite these things being stolen, i realised i am lucky they didnt break-in while i am still here or it might cause severe damage to me. i am also happy that it give me a bit of excitement as i will be looking for a new laptop tomorrow. but still, the trauma is the worst part of them all. i feel like the thief is just around the corner. as my friends would say, it was indeed a really unlucky week... thanks guys for being there in times that i need someone for comfort.

im back again on my favorite client - which is a school. and to say that im terrified with Ms Minchin is the highlight of this week's events. as i am doing an audit, i got used to dealing with all sorts of people. i never thought that i would be dealing with her. it turns out that i have to ask her some relevant info regarding maintenance of student accounts. she looks like the terrible woman on the 101 dalmatians... and she's really that strict and i was shaking as i shoot away with my questions.

anyway, good thing with this audit is that i can leave at 4pm everyday. but today i felt it was terribly late leaving at 5.20pm. plus i have free lunches -

this is the best nite out ever! if you know what i mean. *grins* haha...

anyway, got tremendously drunk again (almost 10 bottles of double ice) and felt the hangover hit me all day long. that's fine since i was asleep most of the day. woke up at 5pm since i arrived at 5am -

dont know how i find all the energy to still do my laundry and dry em up, i was able to cook breakfast and do the dishes before finally sleeping at 6.30 in the morning -

a way to spend after busy season for june 07 clients and now i will have to stretch again and focus on this painful 6 weeks (5 equally tough clients) as i reach end of november. then il go to melbourne for short audit and then do some training and IELTS exam. then i can finally go back home. wohoo! its more than a year and i am eagerly anticipating.

I wanna wish myself a very happy Sydneyversary! Time flies so fast.. and can u imagine I survived my first year in a foreign land? I wanna take this opportunity to thank my friends (work, high school, friend of friends, college, kapitbahay at kung sinu-sino pa...) for being there in times of homesickness. We battled it together and for which I am grateful. Not so long ago, I can recall that I've arrived at Sydney - exactly 10am - and I was not admitted to my hotel accom since check-in time is @ 2pm. I wandered through the city and got myself lost. I quickly went to a mini park not knowing that this park is just beside World Square (which EY is situated). I was totally naive about the lifestyle here. Unaware of how life would be without my family and the friends that I've known all my life. Yet I have conquered the race. I was able to live on my own. Though without much savings I am totally happy.

my mind is in a deep reverie other than those dark thoughts that made my day in such a miserable position. dreaming about a very unusual trip with lotsa snow sucking up my body to the unknown. maybe it only means i should cut more on my trips and i wont go to floriade this sat. i resume my activities on 26th with my friends - spit to manly walk. that should be good. i will also resume sports (i just hope emily would bring volleyball to our manly trip!).

i was too engrossed with alcohol last night that i now swore not to have another taste of liquor ever again. or maybe as long as i am with my pibedoka friends. anyway, andrei's leaving so no one would crave for alcohol anyway -

i remember a movie called the one hour photo, in which Robin Williams' character collects different segment of people's memory and compiles it when they die. i hope i could peep in to my memory hole and just look at this one tiny event if it really transpired.

this weekend such a very unproductive one. i should have gone home yesterday instead. no laundry, no grocery, no food to bring to office tomorrow.

im flushed at the moment. dont ask why. i guess one thing would make me happy-im gonna watch reruns again!!!

just received an sms from franc -dlsu is the champ! great! i just cant help but think about the time when i was still in uni - patiently waiting to get a ticket at 5.30 in the morning. exciting and something that keep as all lasallians together fighting for the known reputation of our Alma mater. i reckon there's a major celebration and even a holiday in school-

Just bought my mr grumpy shirt from birkenhead point. I will wear it today. Nuff about stupid pointless nonsense arguments. So preposterous and absurd to even dwell on it. Shesh...

i've been itching to blog for days. i have some backlog work that i've focused on and i didn't find time to write about how my long weekend went about. so here goes -


whenever i think about the night before the flight, i imagine a totally rushed packing and figuring out how the hell i can finish all the work before we can go to the airport. i never felt excited all throughout the day since i kept on thinking about deadlines and the things i needed to accomplish before we go on for the long weekend. at last, its time to go...


i remember we hurried out to the train station to catch our plane knowing that we have enough time before we check-in. good thing i have a very well organised team leader *ghie*... i felt a sudden rush of excitement as we wait for the flight. i brought a book with me but i can't seem to concentrate as i was thinking about the fun i was about to experience. imagine a totally free 3 days and 2 nights not thinking about work and just enjoying the sunny weather in Gold Coast.

we landed just alright and we hurried to Raddison - our sanctuary for the whole duration of the vacation. planned how we are going to spend the next coupla days. and again, i felt another rush of excitement as we looked into the site and discovered the awesome rides we are about to hop on...

i guess i dont need to elaborate further on what we did. i will let the pictures speak for themselves. to sum it up, i had the greatest time on the theme parks - movie world, dream world, sea world and white water world. also enjoyed the sunny weather and a bit of swimming in the beach and our pool. plus i spend an enormous time hanging out with the best people who literally know the meaning of FUN!

- cheers mates! i guess will be reunited in our next journey - new zealand!!!
