delayed gc flight...

Grrrr... Im so in the mood to be in gc now.. But its 10 mins delayed... Anyway time to board...

stucked in a damned traffic..

An hour passed and so is my 50 bucks. Stucked in traffic and its all because of my laziness to take the train just because i have a luggage. It now ruined my day. Created a headache. And im so late. It would be hard going to the office with my huge bag unnoticed. Far out!

long conversation with fam

i was just on the phone talking to with my family for about two hours. i realised a lot of stuff is developing at home and im quite happy about it. too excited to go home this december to see it for myself. my mom's opening a bakery. my dad's opening a warehouse of some sorts. and they are keen in developing the beach resort before i go home. that'll be something to look forward to.. my brother's studying IT and this would be a great thing so that he could fix my blasted laptop who is so slow and its really annoying me most of the time.

i also have spoken with my nephew and he relayed to me that he just ate McChicken and that he wanted to go to Australia to visit me. Such a sweet boy. And to add, he must have the cute looks from his Uncle Rondzkee. It is what other people are saying (not just me) ;)

Now, I've got no time to do some chores as it is past midnight. I got to sleep and its another week before i go to GC! wohoo...

last day at wollongong - holiday at GC - a love story

its just a day away and i will finish the audit of this Wollongong client. imagine going to a client for 2.5 hours drive. fully exhausted. and to describe our work area. imagine working in the couch of the director with loads of paper and files. grumpy grampy client. doing activities 1-10 (with controls reliance) in just two weeks. crappy last years files. i am really happy it would finally be over..

talk about my happiest day - which was yesterday when i came back to Sydney and slept on my missed room. i cooked a blognese spaghetti with red wine and corned beef. side dish is Doritos! isn't it great!

i just bought a camera and thanks for ghie for financing it. i will pay you as soon as you demand it. cost is about $350 (including 2GB memory card). it would be a great gadget to bring on my gold coast holiday this coming 27 September. can't wait to see the theme parks and the finest beach in Australia.

last weekend I went to Mt. Druitt where A Love Story was shown. I went with Emie, Jaytee and Sheila. Though I'm not an avid Filipino movie goer, I was a bit curious as to the big noice the film was making back home. It was certainly something but I guess I have so much high hopes for the story line. It ended a bit strange and not as I would want it to end. Angelica's dramatic dialogue was just put to waste. She said something about never trusting Aga anymore and I quickly remember how she felt while she was laying down to give birth and all she can see is Aga's reaction on Maricel's nonchalant reaction on their feelings. He was still in love with her!And the scene suddenly turned into a totally different tone. Angelica, Aga and their son were running in the beach shore. The drastic change of events just made me realise that its just a typical movie wherein the producers of the movie would just like to make a happy ending and would want to preserve the family values. Practically speaking, this wouldn't happen in a real world as it would make it difficult for a couple to let the love survive. Wala lang, I was just not used to Maricel not having a strong personality.

But still, its worth the watch. This is the only time I saw heaps of Pinoy queueing towards the cinema's gate. The locals were actually surprise to see a big group of Pinoy people. Whats the blockbuster movie? Anyway, I was also happy to see the radiance of the masa in the movie house. It feels like watching in SM Cinemas. Side comments here. Hiyawan.

Or maybe I just have been really missing home.

duckilicious

Had the best dinner at crown restaurant in wollongong. Their duck main course is really freaking awesome. Its the best meal i had here. Though its pricey (around $34) it thest sauce i've tasted. Its a nice treat after working my ass off with this client. I think i deserve a nice bath salt bath later.. :p

reward day - birthday leave

i picked this day as my reward day and it was such a nice feeling waking up with no stress at all! i woke up with the heavy feeling of sickness. is it because i just turned 25. i also dreamt a very bizzaire dream that it was snowing heavily and i can't get to my apartment (which looks weirdly unsimilar). i pushed myself in despite the snow blocking every where so i have to shovel it with my hands. people are lined up to budge in as well. the funny thing is i saw a lot of my high school friends and they were helping me go to the next level by jumping from one floor to another. this is because the lifts are not working (due to the blizzard). I was speaking to another person (again its weird because i can't remember the face) asking about career stuff but decided not to. its a dream that i totally can't put the pieces together and interpret. as i said, i woke up feeling sick and puzzled.

anyway, at this exact moment i was born. can't help but think about 25 years... how did i spend my life? one setback of living alone is that there's no one you can talk to in times like this. so i cant really help but feel sentimental. i just hope i wont lose my sanity. 25 years is a lot. i mean i am already existing quarter of a century. what good have i done in this world? maybe the mission is yet to come!

cutting edge, thai tempered and the woozy experience

i woke up yesterday with a jumpy feeling knowing that the adventure on ice is few hours away. i dont know why i highly anticipated that event. maybe its been ages since i've last skated. and when we've finally set foot on ice it was really awesome that my feet suddenly made its move. it has a life of its own and started to move and slope to every direction.

im with ghie, dith, rubyd, rubyg, renee and andrei. i hope they've enjoyed it as enormously as i did. well with the exception of the few fall that made my butt temporarily numb. but other than everything was splendid. chuck in some chorizos and dvds i bought made me even happier.

had coffee after that and the girls hearing wedding bells chit-chat. i just cant help but feel curious about the way their emotions get them. i mean its an unwritten rule that girls would fancy big wedding and the intricacies of its preparation. it captured an hour talking about those stuff. for awhile i literally felt a thorn in the roses and i have to crawl myself to their conversation.

we head out to the official entertainment quarter - five dock flat. we sang like there's no tomorrow. had a dinner at a thai resto (king something's the name) in which the crying tiger instantly became a hit to me. though its hot it left the thai tempered over my head which erupted when the waitress hurried to catch us for allegedly not paying the bill. far out!

we then went back to "EQ-five dock" to continue our drinking and singing. i ended up being woozy as ghie would describe it. at least i had a 69 - i mean thats my score! my highest for my hit single "i will surive". i guess needs bit more talent to finally reach 70... i thought of sleeping at their house but decided i need to go home for the call of laundry. as i speak my soiled clothes are all lined up to get all washed up!
