on loop: hush ~ ll cool j
everything's going smoothly lately. hehe thank God for that. anyway, watched Kung Fu Hustle with bea in gateway last night. the movie is SOOO hilarious! astig. hahaha. i enjoyed it so much. after that, we picked up pam and we went drinking and food tripping. we also worked on pam's accounting problems. harhar. we're becoming nerdier by the day. but it's all nice clean fun :) last night was really good... i needed the break. hehe.
anyway, payday's coming up!!! hurray i'm excited hehe... i'll be getting my 2T sign-up bonus and my 3T attendance incentive. i shouldn't be getting that since i was late a couple of times and skipped work one saturday, but my supervisor is the best and he covered up for me. whatta great dude. he's the kind of person you'd be grateful to even have just met. hrrmm... what else. i've got a lot of things lined up for the money *greedy laughter* i'm gonna buy a dvd player for my room and some dvds as well. then i'll be getting my dad this special vitamin ek-ek thats worth about 5 grand, but it's all right. it's the least i can do for him.
i'll also be putting aside some dough for some things i have to pay for... and last thing, i want to buy sandals! good basic everyday sandals that are comfy and simple. kinda expensive ones since i expect to use them all the time. i'm also eyeing this denim jacket from celine and a black cardigan from folded and hung. harharhar. i hope my salary would fit nyahahaha. but if not, there's always next payday. feels great to actually earn some money on your own. it may not be much, but hey, it's yours to do with whatever you want. also, i'm starting to think of what my plan is gonna be for this june. i want to go back to school. but i dunno where... ateneo is still my top bet. but i want a course i really like, and those are in dlsu or ust. so i dunno yet. guess i'll see. i'll have to ask for guidance on that :)

changes
changes
on loop: inseperable ~ jasmine trias
hrmmm. haven't been blogging anything senseful lately... simply because i've been really lazy and busy at the same time. a lot of things have changed these past couple of months. a whole lot. i can't hardly keep track actually. sometimes i miss the good old days... there are certain times in the past that were just good... and i sometimes would really want to get back to how those times were. but too bad things don't really work that way. times really have changed. if one stops and thinks, he's realize that his life ain't really the same thing he's been living out. it's basicallt one whole garble of changes that's culminated to make up what he has right now. and i sometimes stop and think and try to fin out, whjen did all these changes start happening? and i just can't pinpoint the answer. i guess it's been a long time coming already... and before anyone knew it, it's right up our doorstep trying to break the door down.
*****
i heard that OB was gonna have an alumni get-together thing for our batch. hrrmmm. would i wanna go there? i mean, high school was cool and all but... oh well. there are some people i really wouldn't want to be plastic with anymore. but i suppose i'm gonna go... i wanna have my pictures back! the ones they got for the supposed yearbook bullcrap that's taking eons to finish. i don't even give two cents bout that year book anymore, i just want my pictures back. allright, i've made up my mind. i'll go. harhar. i'll just pop in to do my thing and get my stuff back, then ditch the plastic party. there really is no sense in sticking around trying to be all gooey with the people i don't really care about, whom i'm pretty sure feels somehow the same way bout me. i'm content with the friends i have right now. they're the only people from high school that actually matter to me. there's gonna be a lot of hulla-baloo going on, i just bet. not being fatalistic here, just realistic and actually... smarter.
*****
anyway. where's all that ranting come from? eheh. weird. must be near that tiem of the month for me. anyway... one other thing. i realized that people change and things change and stuff like that. and i also realized that i'm dealing with that kinda thing much better now. when i was younger, i hated change. i had a hard time dealing with stuff that changed, especially people and environments. i didn't want to change schools or i didn't wanna lose people in my life and stuff... but i've learned that these things happen and it's not so deadly after all. sure, it may suck for a bit and you might think that things will never be the same and the world's gonna and stuff, but come to think of it, you're right. things will never be the same again. and that chapter of your world will definitely end. but it doesn't mean that the new world's gonna be worse or that the changes are gonna be bad. if there's something i've learned that's helped be a better person is that i've realized that nothing is ever as bad as it seems. as in, nothing. everything will turn out all right. the only element in question is time. the when's. and sometimes, the how's. but it'll come.
*****
thank God for decent people who make great things happen :)

LOST PHONE
LOST PHONE
on loop: yet again... my thoughts.
finally, after years of loyal service, i have finally parted ways with my beloved nokia 7250. together with it came all the pictures of never again to be repeated memories, special messages never to be received again and numbers that would take me much effort to collate once again and probably, i would never be able to complete it ever again. all of these are graced with bitter yet heartfelt sentiments. I HAVE finally LOST MY PHONE. in almost ten years of my having about 6 phones, this would only be my second time to lose a phone. the first one was stolen and so was my phone earlier. this depresses me to no end. so PEOPLE, please bear with me. i will be incommunicado for some time and HOPEFULLY, i will be able to get a new phone soon.
and ONE LAST THING, please do leave your cellphone numbers over here at my tagboard or at my comments page or even at my guestbook. please, just so i would be able to text you as soon as i could. or if you would kindly please e-mail me your numbers instead: its at hyanz@yahoo.com. it would mean so much to me... as long as you're reading this, please do me a huge favor and give me your number. thank you so much. i sincerely hope no one would have a day as bad as the one i just had... no one should deserve it. anyway, keep safe and i hope to hear from you guys soon.

on loop: my thoughts
happy new year everyone! hope you all had a great celebration in anticipation of the year ahead of us. i sincerely pray that'll it'll be a good one for everyone :)
haven't been able to blog for some time 'coz i've been really busy lately, and the few times that i could've and wated to, i didn't have an internet connection at home and my pc's mouse isn't working... so, tough, right?
anyway, gotta make this short and sweet since i ain't home. just using a friend's pc coz i really missed the net harhar.
******
watched panaghoy sa suba yesterday with my friend from school yesterday. interesting film... it was done in visayan and the story was hrmmm... simple but good, i'd say. more of an art film, i think :) but i had fun. hadn't seen my friend for the longest time, so it was good to see him again. hay... despite the fun i'm having at work, i wanna get back to school. anyway, gateway mall is really astig talaga, it's now my favorite mall :) hehe.
******
krung krung? it's this weird term that my friend from work uses when he wants to describe a state of being that is unexpainably crazy and confused... or something to that effect. i have no idea where he got it, but i find it to be an adept term to use... a weird word for a weird world. ehehe. anyway, it's really hard to censor oneself, especially in one's own journal. as much as i'd want to vent, i can't. hay nako, i really hate being stupid. i really don't like it when i can't answer persistent questions that run around my mind... and the fact that no one else can? well, that doesn't help. sigh. anyway, i wanna get back to work already. at least there, my mind is occupied and as soon as i get off, i'll be too tired to think of anything stupid, and just go to sleep.

gateway mall
gateway mall
on loop: hari ng sablay ~ sugarfree
went to the new gateway mall in araneta center last night with bea. very cool place! the cinemas are incredible. i can't wait to see a movie there :) the shops are great and the mall itself is very pleasant and cozy. the crowd is also a-ok... not too thin, but not too many either. i hope that this mall won't turn out into one of those mobster malls where everyone goes to hang out and stuff. a crazy crowd would just ruin it. hehe i'm so selfish. but oh well, different strokes for different folks. it's so near my place! there's italianni's, taco bell, and even go-nuts donuts mwahahaha. very cool :) btw, thanks for the coffee, bey. plano natin ha? just kidding hehe ;p
sigh. everyone's gone out to the provinces... sunshine's in dagupan, pam's in hrrmmm, surigao, i think? or something, junelle's in dubai. i wish eveyone would come back already and let's drink (water). harhar just kidding. i'm bored again. anyway, i'll be back to work later at 4am, and it will be my first taste of the floor (which means it'll be my first time to take calls for the whole shift with no supervision). i'll be left to my own devices! oh no. i hope i'll be able to manage it. just thinking bout it makes me feel queasy but excited at the same time. i hope it'll be a good first day for me as a bonafide technical sales rep :) hehe. i can't wait! anyway, gotta work on my spiels for now so ciao, till later..

on loop: could've been you (could've been me) ~ u-turn
nothing new today... just bumming around the house with nothing to do hehe :) hay i wanna go out and watch movies. i heard that the manila film fest entries were really good. i personally want to watch aishte mas (spell check ;p) and spirit of the glass and sigaw. hehe :) paskong pasko magho-horror ako. owell. woke up really late since stayed nearly half the night talking to a friend i haven't spoken with for about a year or more already for four hours. almost slept on him hehe (sorry! ;p). i have to go to greenhills to get some stuff and check out the sony ericccon t638i (i think?) for my sun cel # and i'm hoping my dad would take me later and i'm also hoping that i won't be too lazy to get a move-on. i would love to go shopping but too bad i don't have enough money hehe... next time (hopefully by january) :)
sigh. i'm rattling off nonsense. just bored. can't wait to get back to work! i think i'm becoming a workaholic... i can't bear being away from work for more than a day or so. i'm always itching to go back already hehe. yikes... who would've thunk. oh and by the way, my guestbook is up and running again! horray :) i've also put a site stat counter in here... a very cool looking one actually hehe. halata na bang bored ako kahapon? i finally got to work on those things and they're found on the navigation bar on the left in case you guys have nothing better to do and would want to go have a look-see :) the guestbook still needs some work but i'm just glad that it's finally working again hehe.
sigh. i want a new phone. i really really really do. my dad received a nokia 6260 for christmas from his friends. lucky duck! i want one as well... that was the model i wanted but now my dad has it, and my friend pam as well, and about three people from work. rarr, hehe :) but i looked around and found another great model! it doesn't look half as cool as the 6260 does but the features are incredible. totally power-packed and the price isn't that far from the 6260. meet the nokia 6670 - the handheld version of the nokia 9210 plus more. i really like it as well... now i can't pick what phone to get. if i wanted the 6260, i could just get my dad's (harhar *eeeeevvilll*) but i wouldn't wanna do that since it is after all, a gift for him. on the other hand, if i go buy the 6670 next month, i'd have to scrape up around 30k for it. yipes! i was actually thinking of applying for globe's deferred installment plans, where i could get the phone model of my choice and pay it off in small monthly installments. that's easier on the pocket since i could pay it off with my salary from work... no need to bug my dad bout it. hrmmm.
this?...
or maybe this... 
?
decisions... decisions... (mouse-over the images to see the model), wonder which i should get? hahaha i speak as if i've got the dinero/ moolah/ money/ cash/ resources (or whatever else you call it, doesn't change the fact that i don't have it harhar). owell... wishful thinking, it ain't so bad to dream once in a while :) it is free after all. might be gone for some time when work resumes on tuesday, so i'm putting in long posts just in case i'll have no time to blog again soon... hehe so please bear with my useless ramblings :)

can i walk with you ~ india arie
I woke up this morning
You were the first thing on my mind
I don't know were it came from
All I know is I need you in my life, yeah
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end
Can I walk with you through your life
You've got me wonderin'
If you know that I am wonderin' about you
The feeling is so strong that,
I can't imagine you're not feeling it too, yeah
YOu've known me long enough to trust, that I want what's best for you.
If you wanna be happy, then I am the one that you should give your heart too.
Now every day ain't gonna be like a summer's day.
Being in love for real, it ain't like a movie screen.
But I can tell you, all the drama aside, you and I can find what the world's been looking for forever, friendship and love together.

on loop: mundian tu bach ke ~ punjabi mc
to start off, i would like to greet everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!. i hope that we all will experience a meaningful and significant holiday season as well as a blessed and refreshing new year :) this year has brought each and every one so much strife and dilemma, but in the end, it is the love, joys and peace that stand out. we must thank the Lord for all of His blessings and guidance by way of His merciful heart. i'm just so thankful right now for everything, despite everything :)
*****
work was especially draining today because it is our last day of academic and product training. by next week, we would be hitting the floors full time already... which means that we were already given our team assignments. it's so heart-breaking to know that we were being broken up into different teams with different shift scheds. my closest friends there were also all dissipated into various teams. so sad to know that we won't be seeing each other that frequently anymore. i loved working with them for these past four weeks that seemed like ten years already. i got into team moe... of which i am very thankful for, because i had been hoping to get into his team. moe is the greatest supervisor ever... and the coolest as well. there's even an atenean in my team, but he's already in fourth year, with yet to work on his thesis. small world :) my shift sched is still the same, 4am to 1pm... sucky timeframe but the team makes up for it all. my off-days would most probably be from 1pm of saturdays till 4am of tuesdays. not bad hehe :) i'm nervous and excited at the same time and i sincerely hope that i do well on my job. and though it saddens me to be working apart from my friends there, i'm sure that everything would work out just fine.
*****
we had a christmas buffet in astoria this morning. we were all together: the entire class of 33 and our 7 trainers. it was both happy and sad. happy since shempre kainan nanaman hehe, but at the same time slightly bittersweet since it would virtually be our last time together in a long time. no more eating together, or yosi breaks together, or chika sessions. sigh. we were all trying to stay as long as we could, in the hopes of cramming enough time together till the next time that we would be able to do so again. it was with a heavy heart that we tried to appear as jolly as we could, but we'll work it out. coz we believe that one doesn't just give up on great people just like that ;)
*****
on a latter note, i've been feeling a bit sentimental these last few days. i think it's because i got it this morning or maybe it's the holiday spirit or something. i suddenly realized that i value my friends very much, and of course, my dad. i'm just so thankful to have such great and wonderful friends who's been with me through hell and high water, and an incredible dad that leaves nothing to be asked for. every one i've met all throughout these years: in college and in work, they've all been true and endearing to me. the personalities that have made my life colorful, who've shared experiences with me even as i trod through the storms in our lives and as i float in the goodness of it as well. the great people in my life... i really am so blessed to have them. i hope there never comes a time that i would take them for granted and lose them just like that. coz i'd know that it would be the biggest mistake i'll be making in this lifetime. they are the people i would never forget... not just as fleeting personalities in my life, but as the life itself in my life. thank God for them, sure made life a whole lot interesting :)

to start off, i would like to greet everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!. i hope that we all will experience a meaningful and significant holiday season as well as a blessed and refreshing new year :) this year has brought each and every one so much strife and dilemma, but in the end, it is the love, joys and peace that stand out. we must thank the Lord for all of His blessings and guidance by way of His merciful heart. i'm just so thankful right now for everything, despite everything :)

work was especially draining today because it is our last day of academic and product training. by next week, we would be hitting the floors full time already... which means that we were already given our team assignments. it's so heart-breaking to know that we were being broken up into different teams with different shift scheds. my closest friends there were also all dissipated into various teams. so sad to know that we won't be seeing each other that frequently anymore. i loved working with them for these past four weeks that seemed like ten years already. i got into team moe... of which i am very thankful for, because i had been hoping to get into his team. moe is the greatest supervisor ever... and the coolest as well. there's even an atenean in my team, but he's already in fourth year, with yet to work on his thesis. small world :) my shift sched is still the same, 4am to 1pm... sucky timeframe but the team makes up for it all. my off-days would most probably be from 1pm of saturdays till 4am of tuesdays. not bad hehe :) i'm nervous and excited at the same time and i sincerely hope that i do well on my job. and though it saddens me to be working apart from my friends there, i'm sure that everything would work out just fine.

we had a christmas buffet in astoria this morning. we were all together: the entire class of 33 and our 7 trainers. it was both happy and sad. happy since shempre kainan nanaman hehe, but at the same time slightly bittersweet since it would virtually be our last time together in a long time. no more eating together, or yosi breaks together, or chika sessions. sigh. we were all trying to stay as long as we could, in the hopes of cramming enough time together till the next time that we would be able to do so again. it was with a heavy heart that we tried to appear as jolly as we could, but we'll work it out. coz we believe that one doesn't just give up on great people just like that ;)

on a latter note, i've been feeling a bit sentimental these last few days. i think it's because i got it this morning or maybe it's the holiday spirit or something. i suddenly realized that i value my friends very much, and of course, my dad. i'm just so thankful to have such great and wonderful friends who's been with me through hell and high water, and an incredible dad that leaves nothing to be asked for. every one i've met all throughout these years: in college and in work, they've all been true and endearing to me. the personalities that have made my life colorful, who've shared experiences with me even as i trod through the storms in our lives and as i float in the goodness of it as well. the great people in my life... i really am so blessed to have them. i hope there never comes a time that i would take them for granted and lose them just like that. coz i'd know that it would be the biggest mistake i'll be making in this lifetime. they are the people i would never forget... not just as fleeting personalities in my life, but as the life itself in my life. thank God for them, sure made life a whole lot interesting :)
