been very busy for the past few days.
With work and other extracurricular activities...
i commented on a friends blog a few weeks ago about one of the irritating reasons that happen to bloggers when they stop blogging...

 

 

----
i didnt really get a life. i just started hanging out more with friends. we went for a swim last saturday. i was ofcourse in a bikini...

 

underneath a sweater and pants...

 

then we have this on going project at work that created more responsibilities and obligations for me... i hope this spells 'increment' ... but i highly doubt that. i am just a tool... a tool that they can use... that they dont have to pay much...

 

that is just how much i am worth.

 

and what else? what else?
we also have 'the paranoia project' a Christian forum and blog that we are starting and trying to launch. i dont know if it will click, seeing that the most highly visited forums and blogs are about techie stuff or games or girlie stuff, but the intentions are good for these young Christians and i can do some spreading of good will myself...

 

and i have set deadlines for myself for this classes im taking... i need to get my classes done so i can move on to masterals...

 

then there are those starbucks moments after work you get to have with close friends...
-----

 

i do miss hanging out. i remember hanging out at burger king or mcdo along UN ave till they pushed us out the doors. we would just order the coke float and fries and talked. i remember having the ability to talk. i dont do that much anymore... i can write about my life but not talk... which is weird... i mean how weird is that?

 

i guess there really isnt much interesting stuff in my life worth sharing with other people.
i am completely uninteresting (correct term ba?)

 

 

how do you let go of someone that was never technically yours?

----

the water was nice yesterday. did a lot of diving in the pool- a couple of belly flops, some pretty smooth ones and a whole lot of kamikazes... and now my muscles and joints hurt from all the acrobatics.

 

I went to work over the weekend. i didnt want to but i had to because our MD said he was leaving for a month and i had a couple of things i needed to organize for my department so that when he gets back we would have a head start. Im still uneasy about my job description though. ive got a lot lying on myhands and i have no idea what to do about it. sometimes the responsibilities overlap with each other that i have no idea what to prioritize.

 

But yesterday the last thing on my mind was work.

 

We had planned to go swimming about a month ago. and yesterday we finally got to do it. The weather was nice, the air warm and the water tolerably cold. The summer is about to begin and the past few days have been hell for the people of the UAE. The temperature is around 38 degrees average and i heard that that is the exact temperature in Manila... but for us, this is just the beginning and it could rise up to 48... anyway, we had a good turnout of people- some old friends and some new friends. and we had food courtesy of tita leny (who makes the BEST binagoongang baboy in the planet- no offense mom!). The guys were a lot of fun... the girls werent KJ. Chichi graced the event in a pink surfer suit (cutie). and i did my best to show off my (FL)abs.

 

It was a good day and a lot of friendship was strengthened because of this...

----

 

I guess it really is much harder to let go of someone that was never yours.

 

is it because I have him in my dreams? or is it because he can never literally hurt me more because i am so used to getting hurt this way? that what is there to let go of?

my hard drive crashed and i lost most of my important data.

so... i kind of needed to hibernate for a while.

 

so im still hiberntaing...

but will update soon...

 

 

aerosmith will be playing in Dubai on the 31st may and i have more than 30 days to think of ways to work around my schedule... you see, ever since i was in highschool i promised myself that the only 'rock' concert i will be spending a lot of money on to buy tickets would be bonjovi (coz i know all of his songs and i love his hair) and aerosmith (pretty much for the same reasons)...

But you see the concert is on a Thursday and thursdays are a no compromise day for me. I have principles when it comes to sticking to my scheds and i have to teach the choir (yes i teach- and that does not necessarily mean i sing good) and make sure that they ATLEAST blend as they render their song the next day... My only sparring partner would be on leave (vacationing in Manila for a month starting end of April) so i have no idea if he will be there...

 

i guess i just have to let it go....

Dubai has gone from a stick in the mud to THE STICK in the mud during the last 18 years ive been here... architecture has blossomed like mushrooms, the landscape is a patch of green and beige, deviating from the desert brown that it was, the population is just too much, the traffic is HELL and the cost of living is like buying a kilo of gold each day. i like the way Dubai is now, but I loved the way it was before. When everything was simple and when you tell someone that you will be there in 5 minutes, you can get there in 3.

 

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

been in a rut the past few days. i think its because of too much apple juice.

 

my friends are trying this 'natural way of removing gallstones' thing that has been circulating the internet. if you have no idea what the heck i am talking about click here. Anyway, ive been drinking a litre of apple juice everyday for 6 days and when i was about to do the epsom salt thing, i got so hungry (coz you are suppose to skip supper) and ate 3 plates of rice and beefsteak as soon as i got home... no olive oil and no lemon juice.

 

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

seriously, the reason why i am in a rut is because of the aerosmith concert.

dang it.
