Wookiee Rant

Spent the entire Wednesday fixing the Ordo Skirata article. I knew back then nominating a character on an ongoing series is gonna bite me back in the ass. But I thought, who cares? He rocks! Better I start on it than some other random guy. But yeah, this is one reminder to always stick with the dead guys. That way the only time new material would be added on the article is if a prequel novel is written.

Money

Still stinging from the cash hemorrhage this "weekend". I'm profoundly glad that tomorrow my 13th month pay's coming in. Sure, only a pitiful sum would be left for me after all the expenses around the house but still, seeing the the whole amount should give me some good buzz no matter how short lived it is.

Tshirt

We're finally getting some progress. Downloaded some customized fonts and redesigned the concepts we already had. Cois printed the thing and stuck in on a generic tshirt as our prototype. Shame he doesn't have a camera at home, would love to see the thing. He says he messed up the cutting part but it actually helped the look of the design, whatever the hell that means.

Work

I knew they were going to declare almost all the weekends of December as critical work days, but for the life of me this is the first time that I heard of where a company actually declared a WHOLE month as a critical work period. As in the whole December! Fuckers. Bet they knew how many agents were planning to disappear once the 13th month pay has been doled out. Me, I'm in it for the long haul in the meantime. If I ever resign or just stop showing up for work, it's gonna be around Feb at least. That's when I would have used up all my paid VL's.

Time

Can't believe its December already. What have I been doing all this year? What have I accomplished? Sadly, nothing worth bragging about. To compound my woes, there's the thing, and that thing, and of course that thing. Ah frak. What a nightmare this year turned out to be.

i have been so excited about our holiday i forgot that it's going to be christmas too. lol. can't believe it. time flies so fast. how many times did i say that already? and how many times have people said that? and yet people still keep saying it. we're never getting used to it, i guess - time flying too fast? we always try to keep up living day by day while thinking there's going to be another day coming and the next thing you know, the future is now. (which reminds me, i have totally failed on ALL goals this year. what a L.)

i'll be 23 in a couple of days. i wonder when GREAT things are going to happen to me. like right now, things are just so-so. (hm, ungrateful much?). i feel like i'm becoming worse by the day with my job. i want some good direction and need to be inspired... like really inspired. when your hobby becomes a job sometimes you lose the passion. i liked it much better when i was a student. i just did what pleased me.

so... i don't know what this post is about anymore... lol. yes, time flies too fast. slow down for me please? :D i'm not yet where i want to be at this time. :(

Ano nga ba ang nagtutulak sa tao para pumatay? Poot? Salapi? Prinsipyo? Politika?

Doon din sa Maguindanao naging "landslide" ang pagkakapanalo ni Gloria Arroyo. Sa ilang presinto roon, wala ni isa mang boto si Fernando Poe Jr. Isipin mo: kahit isa, wala siyang nakuhang boto. Ang kapal ng mukha talaga nitong si Arroyo. Malaki ang utang na loob niya kay Ampatuan. Hello Garci?!

Ngayon naalala ko ang Jabidah massacre kung saan pinatay ng mga elemento ng Armed Forces of the Philippines ang 60 kataong Moro na kanilang nirekluta. Naalala ko ang Balangiga massacre kung saan pinatay ng mga tropang Amerikano ang halos tatlong libong sibilyan sa Balangiga, Samar dahil sa paghihiganti.

How could something so simple turn out so epically stupid in the end. I guess that's what I get for... Ah whatever.

I'm no longer eating at Fish and Co, unless someone is paying that is.

Gonna go out again later to canvass some things for the tshirts. Finally, it's moving again. I'm no longer hoping we make it through the December deadline. Just get it done asap.

Mangaholix passed me by and I didn't even notice. Guess just as well, seeing that I couldn't get out of work to attend.

Oh wait, Sunday morning, I was out of the house early for a dota session with the hs guys.

FRAK!

Saturday morning I was nursing a limitbreak from Friday, darn New Moon for opening on a Friday instead of a Wedsneday.

DOUBLE FRAK!

It's my "weekend off" again. Played dota with the work gang just now before coming home. I guess I gotta get some sleep before I go back to Makati later this evening for another round with Trapo and his work guys. It's a week of Dota it seems. Might as well, not as if I'm doing anything special.

I think its morbidly funny that at this specific point in my life, Lethal Weapon 4 would be playing on HBO, uttering a revision of Murtaugh's famous line that perfectly describes our situation.

We're too old for this shit.

It's not that really that of a coincidence, and I really don't believe a word of it, he's the one who keeps saying it over and over, but still, it's amusing.
