stressed. lazy. crazy. nuts.
January 23, 2007went to work. dropped by mcdonald's. went grocery shopping. bought new dvd's. watched endless dvd's. whipped up homemade tacos. watched more dvd's. lazed infront of the boob tube. got drunk on a sunday night and slept for 13 hours straight the next day. swooned over a newly bough basil plant. watched more dvd. slept more.
yeah, that was me for the past week. stressed. lazy. crazy. over the moon nuts.
ive been religiously going to work. no sick leaves. no tamad leaves. yes im always atleast 5 mins late, but i still manage to come in. that's the crazy part.
had a sudden craving for anything greasy and unhealthy. went to mcdonald's. had cheeseburger and fries. craving satisfied.
ahhhh…the wonders of wheeling a cart though rows and rows of commodities…taking my own sweet time browsing through brands and sodium content and comparing prices…i live for grocery shopping…
12 in 1 DVD collection for only Php70. need i say more?
dvd marathon from 8pm-1am…woke up the next day at 10am and conitnued the marathon until 3pm. wonderful. p.s. if you are an airsofter, the series Over There is gonna pop your hood. i swear, mamatay man ang mga malilibog na pusa ng kapitbahay namin!
homemade tacos. ingredients: 1/2 kilo lean ground beef, 3 large cloves of garlic minced. 1tbsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. cayenne powder, dash of salt & pepper, medium-sized iceberg lettuce, 3 large and super-ripe tomatoes, 2 large white onions, a whole cheddar cheese shredded, 1 box/1 dozen taco shells and hot sauce. procedure: brown beef on a hot pan and then add garlic, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper until thoroughly cooked. you can also use ready to use Taco Mix instead of the abovementioned spices. shred lettuce. slice tomatoes and onion in tiny pieces. in a bowl mix all ingredients together and add hot sauce if desired. place mixture inside taco shells and enjoy! p.s. if you cannot find taco shells, any corn-based chips will work. pahabol: eat with a pitcher of ice-cold coke or beer!
watched The Pursuit of Happyness. felt my hear melt in a puddle.
watched Man on Fire on Star Movies and felt my heart break to pieces.
why is it that whenever a friend of yours celebrates the 1st birthday of their first son/daughter, the whole barkada ends up drinking til dawn and glorifying the little angel's birthday? beats me.
for me, sleep is a luxury. i might as well drown in it whenever i can.
herb seedlings are difficult to find. so when i was able to get my hands on 3 basil seedlings, i could hear my Be groaning on the background. that's because he is mandated to keep watch on it to make sure our neighbor's perverse cat doesn't shred it to bits and make sure to water it ever single day. or else, il turn him into one.
Night at the Musuem is your typical Ben Stiller movie. funny. that's my description of a typical Ben Stiller movie. just funny.
watched The Devil Wears Prada 2x in a row and found myself wondering why i ended up working in call center battling with mostly imbecile but otherwise ignorant computer users when i can always go down manila and work for a magazine or broadsheet or PR compay or advertising company (i took up mas communications in college, anyway)…then i realized, i love my pine trees and strawberry fields and afternoon fogs and walking down session with a cup of hot chocolate…id rather continue my battle with these imbecile but otherwise ignorant computer users because after a hard day's work, i can always sit down and have a cup of coffee while staring at green mountains and feeling the cold breeze wrap around my tired body.
see? my past week was lazy and crazy. no rhyming intended.

haven't played airsoft for atleast a month. am looking forward to our game this saturday. hopefully it would be at the abandoned (and rumored to be haunted) Diplomat Hotel. CQB galore! (CQG = Closed Quarters Battle). nway im logging out so more talk on airsoft on my next post!
this time, meet my new barkada
January 16, 2007when one gets addicted to airsoft, you don't only get addicted on playing the game itself. there are a lot of things associated with airsoft that will eventually eat up your time, energy, thoughts and money.
take me for example.
when i first got into airsoft, i was not that raring to play every weekend. instead, i find myself online and surfing for the latest airsoft guns and equipment and gears. i find myself gravitated to anything that has a camo design.
until i found myself staying up late, during worknights, just to finish Season One of The Unit.
yes, from running around in full battle gear to shopping online for equipment to being engrossed with anything near the shade of sage green, ive elevated myself to patronizing a series that usually only guys stay up late for.
meet my new barkada…
2006 flashback
January 10, 2007ive been working for more than a week now even if the holiday bug is still stuck in my butt. argh. don't you hate the corporate world? makes you wish that you're a hilton and just party every single day or run your own business, be your own boss and go on extended, extended, super extended vacations because you don't need to worry about getting paid anyway because you have your own black hole. a bottomless pit that sucks in cash for you for eternity. sigh. i could just dream on. besides, with me slowly becoming a poster child for obesity, i would never pass as a hilton. another loud and heavy sigh.anyway, that is not the point of this post because out of nowhere, i decided to do a flashback of what was 2006 for me. a little cheesy but whatever, everybody does flashbacks.
