what’s up with the world?

i have not been updating for a few weeks and its because of the following reasons:

a) ive been sick. seriously, really sick. not sick of my job sick or sick of this world sick but really, really and genuinely sick. sick as in bronchial asthma. ive been coming to work every other day and ive been downing inhaling powder-like medicine to ease my lungs and make me breathe better. and its not a pretty sight. its gross and very wa-poise. ugh.

b) there’s just nothing. nada. zero. zilch. empty, boring life. you don’t wanna read me ranting out how tired i am and how sick i am and how suicidal ive been. anyway, there’s just nothing interesting. so everytime i indulge myself in the internet, i just pass time browsing from one blog to another, one shopping site to another, one movie site to another until my eyes are too tired and red to take the glare of the monitor screen. so there.

but the purpose of this post is not to rant, but to update. so here goes:

* the guimaras oil spill. i don’t really buy or read any of the national broadsheets unless im forced to (when i was in school). but last sunday as i was walking home, i picked up my weekly copy of the Midland Courier (baguio’s local paper) and inquirer’s cover picture caught my attention. without even reading the headline or even cover story, i added it to my local paper and went straight for a Mcdonald’s fix. the moment ive settled myself and stared at the broadsheet’s cover story, i was stunned. i felt sorry. i was thinking, what a shame it is to lose all that ecological treasure. then out of the blue, i felt a familiar sensation creep down my spine: anger. how can they be that irresponsible? and why is Petron so insensitive about it? and how can the government just shrug it off? and now i felt helpless…because im miles away…so the least i can do now is inform everyone about it and pray for the people of the region affected…and that hopefully the people responsible would do something about it…

*it was geebee’s birthday last tuesday. he’s turned 25. good thing his mom came over from manila so we were able to atleast prepare something for him. judging from my schedule at work, it would have been impossible for me to cook up anything, even if i wanted to. anyway, happy birthday again, bebe! muaaaahhh! you’re the craziest but i love you like effing hell!

*2 weeks of being on night shift. well my team actually calls it being on night shit. we were supposed to have a training on wireless networking that’s why we were assigned on that schedule for the meantime. but it was cancelled. then they moved it again for next week, same shitty and crappy schedule, then i just found out awhile ago that it was cancelled again. wa the the fuck?! i mean, look, will you be even ethusiastic to come to work when your schedule is split like this: 2am-12pm then you immediately come back to work at 11pm-8am!!! i hate the world! okay, not the whole world but our company scheduler, for the meantime, until they fix our fucked up schedules! we’re humans, not a bunch of robots, goddammit!

 well not much to add here. im swamped. and exhausted. so ta-da!
