Alms for the poor??!

Had a weird experience this morning as this guy approached me.



1. He is wearing a suit.

2. He is demanding $20.

3. He told me he is not asking for all my money.

4. He is crazy! And his damned lousy reason is that his atm got eaten by the machine.



What the hell? Good thing the weather's great or else I could've responded adversely.



I just told him I don't use cash and charge everything on my card and left...

Finally its Friday! Though this week's really quick I imagine a fun-filled weekend. People here usually ask your activities on the weekend. Hopefully its nice and sunny. Can't believe that busy season still isn't over. It's almost October and its still at its busiest.



Just waiting for my train and I'm soo hungry. Wonder what I'm going to have for brekkie.. Client's food is cheap. And this is my first client in oz two years ago. Can't believe that it has been that long...

Happy thoughts

Walking back home I have decided to throw away the crappy disposition and focus on happy thoughts. Enough to keep dementors off. After this massive pressure from the office. i just have to ignore this bad vibes.. I'm off to dinner though still have to work afterwards - only because I'm happy to cover the review and french reporting which I so like. Not because I'm obliged to do it... Plus I reward myself with 50 gift voucher to JB Hifi. Cool!!



******

omg! i'm so excited to finish downloading heroes s03e01 and s03e02. this should be a treat over the weekend for me. my mac is working so hard in downloading, prison break and heroes. yay...

my enlightened path

just to share with you guys how i felt when i received an update on my upward feedback
my first instinct was that with my touching speech i would receive so many responses from my staff
and i was right... i never felt that so much people really cares for me... i dont care if its positive or negative
the important thing is that i received 6 reviews and i really appreciate it
at this dark era, there's seems to be a beam of light
my career is not that pathetic as it previously seems
there's a reason to stay and i hope i touched their lives on way or another
i hope i inculcated in their hearts that audit is the career that gives a substantial return in terms of experience

i'll be on leave starting the 2nd and i can't wait to have this vacation simply because im burnt from work
it will give me a breather and realise that its another 2 years of auditing
another set of rollercoaster bumpy ride
demanding clients and superiors plus pasaway staff
i can handle this. i just have to recharge my senses
and it should be a piece of cake
but seriously, im getting tired of audit and in dire need of another profession...

Day-in day-out we realise that there's so much demands in life that we can ever handle. We aren't supernaturals possessing power to fix this thing called life. Every problem gets solved by tiny solutions that if we stick to it can be the simple solution to repair an overhaul.



Patience works in wonders and its just hanging on for a brighter tomorrow. Now I'm wearing my rheb shirt hoping to fix ME.

Feels like summer

Its 30¤C and what's best to do but to go to Bondi and feel the heat. It was crazy jampacked in the trains and everyone have their towels with them. All Sydneysiders are heading to the beach anyways..



Jaidy's last day today in Sydney so we hafta go to the beach and stare at ppl's what we do best. Unfortunately we were waiting for the bus forever. We got a little desparate and so we ended up in front of the bus. Humiliatingly fun.



Got my Mr. Rehab shirt and my purple shirt for the price of one. So happy that I'm gonna wear it tomorrow in the office. I hafta make up for the sickie days so I really should work tom..

I'm still inside the train to Wollongong. 2 hour train ride is not that bad. I made some thinking:

- I felt cleansed. All the bad aura now its time to begin anew.

- Extremely no Ybies. I've been to extreme difficulty and I don't want go back to that road again.

- I will try to join the gym this sat. Hopefully its not the initial phase but I can continue to be healthy and fit.

- I will love fruits, veggies and my vitamin c. I need to boost my immune system in times of sickness so I'll eat good food.



Really don't know if this is acheivable but everything's starts with a good intentions.

pitfalls and delirium

just when you realised you're at your lowest point
there's always someone who'll smudge your face to the mud
i dunno what satisfaction they get but hell yeah.
there are people who enjoy seeing other people's grief.
i'm just glad that this is the last time cos now i'm free

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

i felt i was stoned last night
imagine my ears are popping
my eyes all wide open
i can't breathe from this stuffy nose
and i am imagining little creatures by my side
i was talking to them; asking them to put the life vest in order
the arrangement should be the most important clients to the least.
and then for a happy 5-minute i was able to doze-off...
*tick tack* *tick tack*

but what the hell? i dreamt i was in the City and there's a guy carrying a gun
started shooting people and when he turned to me
i went over a pile of sheets to cover myself.
and never realised if he got me cos the little creatures have awaken me. saved me.
*tick tack* *tick tack*

3.30am and still wide awake. i decided to have an early early breakfast.
i had froot loops and apple-mango juice...
i dont have the energy to go to work obviously, hence i took the whole day off again
my body is aching, i'm still dizzy and i just hope and pray that I'll be back on my feet in no time.

*i have made some realisations whilst staring at the ceiling for hours. i don't want to give you so much information in one blog but i promise i will post it again. it has something to do with my long term career. my life. my vision. I need to validate this when I'm overseas this October...

Diagnosis: URTI

For the past few days i've been terribly sick
I was on the verge of total blackout on Monday morning
I insisted on going to the client but who am I kidding?
I ended up much worse - delirium...

Now that I'm half-way through recovery
I realised that I have to go back again to the client
I just wish what I've told Stephen to do make sense to him
Otherwise it all boils down to a Moo point!

Realised some key things during this ordeal.
Live a well balanced lifestyle. Work isn't everything.
Kick the vices off and start eating right
I hope Gym should be more appealing now.
Thanks Niko for being there during this dark ages.
You brought me some food when I can't go out.
Got me a company when I know I couldn't get out of my unit
cos I dont have keys. Thanks. I owe you big one!

locked out again!

omg. for the nth time. it happened to me again.
i just cant believe the stupidity. far out.
but this time i know for sure that i've entrusted the keys to my friend
unknowingly he apparently gave the key to me and now we both don't know how it got lost along the way...
but its nobody's fault cos we're both uncertain what really happened
all we know is that we enjoyed Ox land and have forgotten this teeny-tiny matter that would cause so much discomfort.

we waited for an hour outside the apartment and my pockets got wounded by 295 bucks
but finally i am here at home and i'll worry about how to get a new key tomorrow.
i'll sleep my worries away - g'nyt!

BB's back

now its the second one. (this acronym has a lot of meanings)
i lost it and don't know what to do.
maybe it was stolen, i dropped it or had forgotten it in the office and someone took it.
got stressed this morning cos i cant find it.
i thought its gone. i thought i have to buy a new one.
everything's there .. including my atm, ccard, ffc, notes.

then i realised i was looking at it last night realising that my amex is not there
losing my amex but i realised it was on my other jeans' pocket
then i had an idea that if it was lost - it should then be at my house
still searching but i couldn't find it.
on the verge of giving up, i looked at the most obvious place i could have placed it.
it was there, on the right pocket of my coat last night
foolish and stupid me.
first thing i did - to put business card
in the future, if it was lost *knock on the wood* - at least there's a chance to contact me.


happy to see my BB again. :)

Chalk Festival

Hey just a quick one I wanted to share. Last Sunday Niko.Jaidy.Me all went to chalk festival... It was great cos they have unique ideas. My favorite one is the monster wall. Just check the pics below:





My BB^ event debrief...

I sent the invite a bit late (Wednesday - just 3 days prior) and never really planned anything just yet. Niko saved the day! Thanks for organising the food and drinks. I know that couple of things happened before the party... like it rained so hard, cabbie made a 180-degrees but still thankful we're safe! I owe you one.. this Sat we should finally conquer the Ox world...

Food was great c/o Tita and Dang. We had the following food:
- Kare kare (still good even after the splash on the cabbie!)
- Pinoy BBQ (This is essential cos here in Oz they love to Barbie!)
- Chopseuy (haha of course, I'm a vegetarian)
- Pancit (Long life!)
- Biko (Good to have this cos my rice cooker's a bit crazy and doesn't know how to cook rice!!)
- Buko Pandan (Accdg to Dang it was not perfect but it tasted so goooood!)
- Pavlova (Aussie cake made from meringue.. i usually call this Pullover/Pullovah)

Drinks:
- Rose' wine (after I tasted this at my COP - i really liked it)
- Corona beer!! (my official sponsor)
- Coke (of course this could be free if Niko is still working for Coke :p)

Thanks for all those who attended and witnessed my drunken phase and face.. haha Sorry you have to endure a talkative and twice annoying me during this state. Too bad we didn't have Magic Sing or else, my neighbours would have been so annoyed as well...

Ruby and Lito - thanks for the beer!! Infairness, we consumed everything. Jaidy, super thanks for your super strength. I appreciate you carrying a heavy bag of ice amidst the freezing temp whilst raining so hard... Jazel, thanks for coke zero!! and Doritos (which im currently eating now, hehe)... Five dock friends, thanks for the idea of the buns *ze zmile on moir fez iz prizlez*... ghie for the os bear. ruby and dith for my new mDVD and David Sedaris book - its flaming hot!! Ronald - tukayo - thanks for the 'world fiss'.. Dang and Niko for the amazing food and support!

Emie - thanks for NY stuff and Reese. Sheila and JT - CR shirt is great! I used it when I celebrated mass. Even though you guys weren't able to come, at least i had a chance to see you last Fri for Emie's farewell. I hope she's enjoying the weather at Melb! haha

Click the pullover cake below for linked pix at my E$<@P3 site... Cheers mates!

hb wishlist

wishlist? well, you can see my facebook for books i wanna read. or any DVD's will do cos I don't get to see much movies lately. CD's also appreciated (anything alternative)...

but among all I wish for more sense of maturity as I venture this 2nd quartile of my life. i guess i've been a bit childish lately. to sensitive...

i couldn't ask for more. i have the best family in the world. friends just on your back when you need them.

but if you really must know my wishlist here it goes...




or for cds... Staind's illusion of progress; The Verve or John Mayer's latest Cd..

Guilty pleasures and THE celebration

Have u ever experienced this? Its like haunting me down but I know I liked it. Its definitely wrong but good thing is that we have a sense of right and wrong. We think of the implications of our actions. Hence we are guided with the correct decision. Saved me. Saved something important that I truly treasure.



---------------------------

Stress is eating me alive again. Good thing its a birthday week celebration. Coupla activities in stored for me. Waitara get-together, midnight drinks countdown, birthday bash, chalk urban art festival and of course go to mass to celebrate my first day of the 26th year of my earthly existence.

the ironic start of spring

totally perplexed with monday's rush. still thinking how i got it wrong. how i overlooked and let her down. for unknown reason i keep my spirits up but it has died down. this morning upon walking my usual route i was in a happy disposition. i saw branches of tree that i usually probe. few leaves have sprung. i surmise its the beginning of spring, which for me connotes a new hope. call me weird but upon seeing the fresh new leaves, it gave me a burst of hope to start the week. but as i come home - i feel uneasy, hungry and stressed. i open the door and it feels like hell (literally) *i realised i forgot to turnoff the heater and the dryer*

reruns gave me a slight uplift of my spirit. a wounded ego is the worse thing that can happen to me on a monday. but then again, its all my fault. i just wish i was able to fix what needs to be fixed. call me sensitive but its just the way i am. case closed.
