Mental Blabberings

I am currently enjoying my work, and it seems that my boss is also enjoying working with me, or at least watching me work. That's the impression that I get, and I've already been with meetings on the upcoming projects we have (which I cannot talk about). However, I'm going to have to brace myself for an ~8 hour drive from here in Makati to Iriga in Bicol. That's quite a long ride, and I'm not sure what to do aside from sleep, watch the windows in the middle of the night, and listen to radio. Anyway, I should be enjoying the sights, and the setup. I get to travel, and work, and enjoy both at the same time. I just hope baby would understand, and not worry too much. And I hope my parents understand, since well, it doesn't seem to me that I would get the opportunity to go home in 2 consecutive weekends because of work. I'm taking this seriously, and I hope the company takes me seriously too. It looks so in the outset, but I have yet to see how far I could ...

I've just started to work and things have been looking up. I'm currently adjusting to the office environment, and the work that I'm doing. I've also been adjusting (quite well) with the housemates I have and the commute from Boni ave. to Ayala Ave. Now why I try convincing my girlfriend that I love her is something else I cannot fathom. I don't know why I need to convince her, or why I even try. I love her, that's sure. But she's having issues with me working and being far away from each other. I don't seem to have any problems, but I can sense that she's not fine with it. Now I have to worry about work, and eventually school which starts tomorrow (I haven't registered yet even). I was fine with talking over the phone, and thanks to the Sun cellular network, calls are free (but are cut at 15 minutes, which I don't mind much). However my girlfriend has times when she'd want to talk until the wee hours of the morning, which I couldn...

I would first off like to say I love my Baby. I would rather keep her anonymity intact, and would not dare divulge her identity in the near future. As for now, let me just say that I love you baby, and hope you're reading my blog. Now as for the real motive of the blog, I'm just waiting to sign the contract with my employer, with whom I will be working for starting tuesday. I'm at another crossroads where on my way to graduating, I would be working and actually earning money doing work that I would (supposedly) enjoy. From what I'm hearing, the arrangements sound great. The starting pay isn't really spectactular, but considering that I'm going to start probationary, I would take the offer nonetheless. The company is based in Makati, and I would supposedly be doing field work too, travelling all over the country and maybe out of the country. I'm definitely looking forward to that, but then I would still have to worry about the last 10 units of my college l...

Just when you think life is this boring thing you just go through, God lets you meet someone who will make life so much more than something you never thought you had. If you're not happy with your life, I pity you. If you want to be happy in your life, look for a reason to live -- your purpose, your passion. Don't take it from me, but I've found my love (and life) at a time when I was cynical and turning into someone I didn't want to be. It can be theraputic, especially when you think life is not going the way you wish it would. Look at me now, I'm just plain happy. I've never felt this before -- alive, happy, unconditionally in love with someone. She's just what I've been needing in my life. I found her when I wasn't looking, in the place I always envisioned meeting the person for me. I thought I was in love then, but I realize that I was wanting to be in love. I courted someone for two years, but wasn't really entirely sure if she was the on...

Yesterday, I had the chance to cook pasta for my relatives. I should say, it was the product of a *ahem* experiment I did, a day after I came from Puerto Galera. I did mention that we cooked Fetuccine Carbonara (thanks Kim) when we were there, and I got the confidence to actually try and cook pasta. I never really did so before because I didn't know how to cook the friggin noodles. Now that I know how to cook the noodles (thanks to Kim again), I can experiment all I want. So here are the ingredients: 1 white onion, chopped 1 head garlic, chopped 2 kalamansi (or if you have small lemons, better) 4-6 tomatoes (depends on the size, all finely chopped) 4 cherry tomatoes (squished)* 3 green bell peppers (chopped) 1/2 kg Spaghetti noodles 100 ml Olive Oil (preferrably Extra Virigin) 2 cans tuna flakes in oil a couple of spring onions (chopped) (enough salt, pepper) parsley (finely chopped)* oregano leaves (dried)* cheese (cheddar or parmaesan, grated) Procedure: P...

I just got back home yesterday from the Puerto Galera gimmick of the UPLB Swimming Team. We got bonded quite well, learning a lot of things about pretty much everybody. We know the little quirks now, some personal history, and we came out of the outing with a better idea of who each of us really are. We got really close over drinks, and we were able to enjoy time with each other as friends. It was all well and good while we were at Puerto Galera, but at some point in time you need to come back to reality. And that happened yesterday. I'm already reeling from a very nice time with the Swimming Team when we got back to UPLB yesterday. However I had to find out what my grades were in my Computer Science subjects. To boot, I was having a blast enjoying time with my teammate who I'm currently courting. We discovered so much about each other in a span of 3 days, and we are really just enjoying each other's company. I love her though, and I won't mind spending more time wit...

To Puerto Galera or NOT... Should that even be a choice? But when you're 21, living with your dad, and you're mom's in California -- you need to ask permission. And for a while back there, I was inches away from not being allowed to go to Puerto Galera TOMORROW!!! :D I might not be blogging from tomorrow until friday, since I don't know if there are internet shops in that part of the Philippines. I'm willing to bet there are places there with internet access, but going there would be a last resort for satisfying my blogging urges. I might resort to writing down with pen and pencil, and keeping my thoughts to myself. But somehow, I'd want feedback from whoever is reading my writings. And if the blogging urges are too strong, I can always commute to Calapan (an hour to two or so from the Poblacion of Puerto Galera) and satisfy my urges there. If that's not an option, I could just shower with cold water. I had to ask permission from my mom who's half...
