Text conversation with Fritz earlier:

Fritz: Hey, nag-watch kag Darna run?

Me: No, I'm in Ayala eating
dinner. And no, I don't watch Darna. Why?

Fritz: Who makes a better
Darna? Angel or Marian.

Me: HELLO!?!?

(After a couple of minutes----)

Me: I like Angel coz she's morena. Darna should be Pinay-looking.

Fritz: But mas gwapa si Marian. Yes?

Me: So? Ok fine, I like Angel Locsin coz she has bigger boobs.

Fritz: I like Marian coz she has long legs.

Me: No I think Angel makes a better Darna coz I think she's a lesbian.

Fritz: She's a lesbian???

Me: I heard. Yes.

Fritz: Seriously??? And they say Piolo's bakla. So who's left straight?

Me: Apparently wala. Marian, I guess. That's why she's so boring.

Facebook Disaster. lol

Hahaha. I dont mean to laugh at someone else's misery, but this one's just funny. :)

Hey...

It's amazing to realize that even if the world around us changes so fast, the heart still longs for the same friends to share memories with.

I miss you, guys! Like super. :)

my reasons to quit always outnumber my reasons to start something noble

Sunday sermon was great.

Perseverance.

If there is something that I'm always guilty of, it is the fact that I have this bad habit of starting things and not having the perseverance to finish it. I always get so afraid halfway, and the worst part is, the temptation to quit is something that always attracts me. I have lost count on the things that I started, some actions that I have pursued, and plans that I have started that I never ever get to finish because I either get too afraid, or just get tired about it and do something else.

It's like I never run out of new things to start, but I also never run out of reasons to quit. The funny thing is, my reasons to quit always outnumber my reasons to start something noble.

Listening to the Pastor's message I thought to myself, hey maybe this is the reason why now at 27 years old I still have the silliest questions in life. I started things before that left me hanging.

Bad.

A lot of people would decide to run a race, some of them you expect to see win, only to find out that they're not even there at the finish line. The thought makes me guilty big time.


1. Sermon says: We must not be deterred by the lack of immediate results.

Beautiful Bullshit pleads guilty on this. I don’t know--- patience is a virtue I
do not possess. If I was a kid and you'd make me take the marshmallow test, I
would fail. Definitely. I want immediate results. If I want to lose 10 lbs, I
want to lose it overnight. Call me crazy, but don’t we all dream of the fastest,
quickest results? Slow is garbage.

2. Sermon says: We must not be deterred by major set-backs along the way.

Beautiful Bullshit pleads guilty again: If I pursue something, and I see some
close friends do the opposite, I completely forget my goals and go with the
flow (even if the flow OBVIOUSLY is going down the drain). Example? Smoking.
Duh.

3. Sermon says: We must not be deterred by the ridicule of others.

Beautiful Bullshit pleads guilty: Im gay, ok? What people think about me, what I
wear, how I fix my hair, among others, is a big issue for me. MAJOR as a matter
of fact. If I start a goal, and find myself ridiculed by others because it's
weird, or funny or cheap or ugly, I drop it.

So there. I realized I was doing it wrong, it's high time I change my ways. It's never to late to start something good really.

One of the biggest lessons that struck me was the sermon about perseverance and on finishing the race. I have learned that all of us are called to a race that we are supposed to finish.

I say it's totally fine to be human. We're not called to all be saints anyway. But it's never too late to start something good and finish it. I say I start with one noble goal at a time. God is always there so I'll be fine. :)

Squid sisig, anyone?

Celebrating First Anniversary at the office...

I am officially celebrating my first year here at the office.

How swift time flies indeed.

It's just like it was on yesterday when I was first interviewd by one of the managers here. I remember one very notable remark that I said druing my preliminary interview:

"The people you work with is just as important as the nature of your job."

Luckily for me, I have the best of both worlds. :)
Thank you, all. I hope to spend more years with you. Cheers!

Goodbye President Cory...

Media is buzzing about the death of former President Cory Aquino. The woman was indeed a hero, I mean, she led an imperfect administration (just like all the leaders of the world), but the national values she stood for really changed the face of our country and I applaud her for that.

I wanted to watch decent news about the whole thing--- you know, perhaps some inspiring stories about Cory when she was young, when she was with Ninoy, when she was bravely fighting for change--- but nada.

Everytime I watch TV, all I see is the face of Kris Aquino, you know, with her usual uber-dramatic look.

Kris Aquino in The Buzz. Kris Aquino in Umagang Kay Ganda, Kris Aquino in TV Patrol. Kris Aquino in Bandila. Kris Aquino in commercials in between. And the cycle went on and on since a couple of days back.



Tomorrow wont be different.

Weekend Movie and the 3-Day Fat Flush Diet I Could Never Dare Start

I have once again defied personal rules last Sunday when boyfie and I went out to watch a horror movie. I have promised myself not to watch horror movies as I would lose sleep for the couple of weeks that would follow, but turned out that I didn’t have any choice but to say yes. Boyfie's a big fan of blood and scare and everything evil, that I didn’t want to spoil our weekend together, which now happens rarely as he's always on travel. Also, a part of me wanted to watch coz I saw the trailer plus I have the biggest crush on Ananda Everingham. I could just run a marathon of all his horror movies, just stare at his face for hours and not care about the stories at all.

Anyways, there. Mediocre movie. Bad story. Bad acting. Hot actor.

Boyfie and I have been planning to get into this 3-day fat-flush diet. I mean whatever--- We just wanna lose like 5 lbs or so. Our friends have been telling us that we're both getting fatter and fatter by the minute and it's not a cute thing.

Over the weekend, we stocked on fruits--- apples, bananas, grapes, pineapples and fruit juice (the one with L-carnatine that could burn fat). From the whole line-up itself you can tell that we were both desperate to lose weight, or at least not gain weight on the weekend. Weekends for me are the toughest, especially when boyfie cooks his killer pasta dish.

Anyways, we were both so ready to go on this 3-day fat-flush-fruits-only diet when boyfie decided to cook "a little pasta", then I offered to cook some chicken, and then we had ice cream and beer.

The morning after that, we cooked sardines and spam and eggs and inhaled a potful of rice.

At the end of the day, we just watched some of the bananas wilt, and the apples and grapes untouched.

I had like 5000 calories, gaddd Im in big trouble. Literally :)

Diet starts next week. Promise.
