DiBayN InteRbenSyOn

I told you guys not to believe everything that i say.


I'm still in the midshift!!! weeeee!!!!!!!!!


Due to an unexplainable divine intervention, they gave us additional slots for midshift and so i was one of the few who was able to bid for the said shift. yey!!!! HELLO to less work, less stress, more time for browsing, more time to eat(!!!!) ---> everything boils down to the word FUN!!!


That's it. I'm H-A-P-P-Y!


I'm a bit wary though because i tend to eat a lot when i've got nothing to do and I'm afraid it will lead to an increase in adipose tissue. I guess all of us are afraid of getting fat. Aside from the fact that you have limited choice when it comes to dressing and being looked at and be told "ANG TABA MO NA!!!!" Damn. Why say it when it's obvious? It's like saying "ANG TAMIS NAMAN NG CHOCOLATE!!!!" when you're eating --- guess what --- a chocolate. Or asking someone who holds a towel, a mini basket with shampoo,conditioner, sponge, soap, body scrub, foot scrub, toothpaste, toothbrush,etc --- "MALILIGO KA BA???" What the--? Sarap sabihing "HINDE..... MAG-GA-GARDENING AKO!!!"


Obvious ba???


HAHAHAHAHA.


Of course. It's a known fact that we have grown to always ask for confirmation. Even when there's no need to ask, we still tend to ask it just to confirm that we are right. RIGHT? right....


So when somebody tells you you're fat -- tell them.. NO I'M NOT. It's just an optical illusion.


Wondering if i'm fat or thin?


Hmmmm.....


I'm tall and slender. I'm America's next top model.

Nightmare along Mother Ignacia Street

he ya!!!! m back from the dead! hahahahaha spent my off at home and wishing i didn't have a head to start with.

Why?

well i had migraine attacks for 2 straight days! sheeessshhhh.... anyways, i was able to get over it and managed to get some sleep. Now im at work and i'm dreading the change of schedules coz i'll be soon transferred to night shift AGAIN... grrrrr.... i so love midshift that if this shift were a person, I'll propose marriage to him or her or it. hahahahaha... It's so very different when you decide to work in a call center because you don't have a say when they decide to put you in whatever shift they want... especially when you belong to a 24x7 account. GANDAMIT!

In my previous call center job in ortigas, I also worked during the night shift. I thought it was good because you get higher pay, whiter skin and blemish-free complexion. WHy?? There's no traffic and no UV rays to begin with. But it's so stressful. Look at this...

ME before night shift -----




ME when I was a stressed owl and was working in the graveyard shift ----



ME when i was transferred in the midshift ---




SEE THE DIFFERENCE?????


Oh well...

Focus on the perks... I'm richer but I look oh so stressed and red-eyed...

Midshift is just so great coz aside from the fact that we don't get a lot of chat sessions, i tend to be more focused on meeting my stats so i wouldn't get kicked off from this job..waaaahhhhh......

We are bound by rules and I have to accept whatever is laid on the table. So there.

Don't worry. I'll manage to update my journal even if I'll be transferred to the deadly zone...

ARRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had migraines since i was in high school and damn was it so painful.

Now I'm having this migraine attack and I don't have any pain-relievers with me.

This is really killing me.

Wikipedia defines migraine as...

---> a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea. The word migraine is French in origin and comes from the Greek hemicrania (as does the Old English term megrim). Literally, hemicrania means "only half the head."

I've noticed that sudden flashes of light triggers this f**** pain. I'm a bit dependent on pain-relievers though because this kind of headache is so painful that when you see me having migraine attacks, I closely resemble my default pic in this journal. You can tickle me for all you want but you wouldn't see a hint or movement in the corners of my mouth and I couldn't even fake a smile when i'm having migraines. I take 500mg of Dolfenal to alleviate the pain, it induces sleep and the pain disappears in no less than 5 minutes, kinda quick huh! hmmmm....


And when i have migraines and then i take in food with cheese, it worsens the agony! What in the world causes this yellow-oh-so-harmless-dairy product in worsening my pain? i feel so gloomy.... boo-hoo... i even had to pull my hair before just to give me temporary pain relief... waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.....

give me a massage guys. I'll pay you 100 pesos per minute.

Abracadabra!

Im back!!!!!! after a day of hibernation...


it's spooky time!!! hehehe


i've watched the pilot episode of Erik Mana's MASTERMIND on Abs-Cbn 2 last sunday and i never thought that i'd get goosebumps and all while watching the show. If you're familiar with David Blaine, Erik Mana belongs to the same genre of street magicians. But when I watched the show, he performed magic with long sleeves at that, don't know if he was hiding a dinosaur under his sleeves whatsoever. I was still in this skeptic mode during the first part of the show. Telling myself, he's just fast and he know how to divert the attention of the people around him so that they wouldn't see his tricks.

I got impressed though coz it seems to me that he uses the power of his mind more than anything else. One classic example was when he asked someone to write a symbol on a piece of paper and to hide it in his pocket. He then asked the person to clearly vision out the symbol that he has drawn in that piece of paper on his mind and from there, Erik grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and tried to draw something on another paper. They then simultaneously showed each other the paper that they're holding and you guessed it right. They have drawn an identical tattoo symbol on their respective papers. Same thing happened with another girl. They stood, not facing each other and simultaneously drawn a symbol. It was identical. Again. And Erik's symbol was a mirror image of what the girl has.

Another highlight of the show was when he asked this girl to close her eyes and just extend her arms. He then ran his fingers on top of the girl's left arm without touching her. It's like his fingers were above 6 inches from the girl's arm. He ran his fingers twice then asked the girl if she felt something. She said yes. And she said someone stroked her arm twice. He then asked the girl to open her eyes and then asked the people surrounding them if he touched her arm and they said no. What the?

One thing I did, which he asked televiewers to do is to get 9 cards randomly from a deck of cards and then pick one, so I picked 3 of hearts. Followed his instructions and flashed the 3 cards left infront of the tv screen as he said. The last card that was left was MY card. My boyfriend was also watching the same show that sunday and also did the card thingie at home and he got the same card that he chose which is the 4 of hearts. How in the?

He's galing I can attest to that. Try watching his show next sunday night. It's pretty spooky especially the last thing that he did with 5 volunteers. He asked them to write their own symbols on a piece of paper, the symbols should be distinct from each other. After this, they watched this video clip starring SADAKO through this VHS tape while burning the envelope where they placed the piece of paper. During the last part of the tape after they finished burning the envelope, a paper appeared from the tv screen, Sadako the video star grabbed this piece of paper and then held it facing the viewers. She was holding the paper with the volunteers' distinct symbol. The one that they just burned.

Creepy.

I had goosebumps and i was watching the show with lights off and i was alone.

I do would want to watch the show again with lights off. Me alone.

Life in an Internet Cafe

It's my rest day. AND im working!!!! voluntarily of course... first time to go on rest day overtime -- money matters ;-) i had nothing to do at home and since we're understaffed might as well use my God-given kindness so i just decided to come to the office and work instead of just sleep. SIPAG KO NO????


Not really.

Here at work. I'm not really working. HAHAHAHA.

This is work. WE chat with customers. WE browse. WE play music. WE eat (now im binging on this big bag of Holy Kettle Corn). WE CAN sleep here in our stations.

Sounds fun?



Not exactly.

For some people, this sounds so PETIX. BUt not so. Because what we're doing is BAWAL hahahahaha.


Just make sure you won't get caught. But since i belong to the midshift, Americans are sleeping and there are less people here on the floor. Weeeeeee.




I decided to go on overtime for 4 hours only.


It's really like spending 4 hours in an internet cafe. Only difference is that I'm the one being paid.


Buuuuwwwaaahhhahahahahahaha (Satanic laughter)



I intend to go on rest day OTs for the rest of my life.

My LOvE AffAir with MobiLE PhoNeS

Here i am at work and tomorrow's gonna be my off. Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe don't have plans of going out, i have to make tipid hehe since im planning to swap my phone with motorola razr v3 pink. say buhbye to my SE k700i. sob-sob... i loooovveeee k700's features though, even if the memory for this unit is not expandable yet. Picture resolution is great at 2 megapixel, you can multitask (playing your mp3s while playing a game or texting etc.), you can record calls, and other chorvaloo chumene ek-ek hehe.. on the downside, it freezes when your about to exceed its memory, you can't save a lot of songs, i end up deleting videos or pictures because of this memory shortage (just like its owner HAHAHA) but i really wanted to have this PINK RAZR. It's aesthetically satisfying. In the features department, SE K700 is more advanced but there are softwares available for this cutesy razr so that it can be at par with k7 or with other phones. It's so GURLY!!!!! And i so love it.





My love affair with cellphones started when i was in college. That was the time when all you can do with cellphones is just to call and the word texting is still greek to us. First ever phone was my mom's phone actually. It was this bulky Motorola phone which was subscribed to Mobiline.



This is the historical pangkaskas ng yelo cellphone in which you can pull its antenna up, hang it on your waist with a belt clipper for all to see and what else... hmmmm... that's it. hahaha. This is the Jurassic Phone hehe. BUT of course, it was such a convenience to have a phone that you can bring anywhere. A wireless phone at that.

Next stop: Nokia 909.



Not so bulky anymore... hahaha it looks like a cordless phone though with its phone base missing ahahahaha.. no texting yet for this phone but i did have it with me everywhere I go. I just had to load it with the Smart Billcrusher card. Uyyyy.... nauso na ang prepaid...hahaha


My next affair was with a Mitsubishi Trium phone.



I salivate at the sight when I saw this phone on newspaper ads! wow! i can have this phone for 3thou! I even imagined myself holding this phone and imagined myself texting using this phone hahahaha! i even asked my brother to buy it as his birthday gift for me and good thing he obliged!!! He brought it home one day and I was SOOOOOOOO HAPPPPYYYYY!!!!!!!!! i texted my one and only friend that time. And then I started to have..... (drum roll) TEXTMATES!!! Graphics was not good though, if you'll send me a teddy bear, it will appear as a rat. If you'll send me a rat, it will appear as a teddy bear. I got used to the confusion though.

Mobile phone number 4 ----> Nokia 3210.



You're all familiar with this phone. Almost everyone had the chance to own this phone right? Yun lang. Tinatamad ako magkwento eh hahahaha...

Soup Number 5 ----> Nokia 8250.



Blue backlight rules during that time. The smaller, the creamier. Bwahahahaha.... Too bad it was snatched. :( Why? Maybe they found out it was creamy.

Table Number 6 --- SE K700i.



SO there. I don't really go for the IN thing. That I should always have a phone that other people would die for blah-blah-blah. As long as I can text and call and then I'm fine with that ;-)

I will surely settle with Motorola Razr V3.




Mark my word.

Prayori op Sayon



watttaaaaadeiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm truly. exhausted. to the nth. up to the maximum. level. and. im. still. panting. i. had. to. place. periods. so that i can. complete this. sentence. because im running. out. of. breath. hehehehe

why.


i belong to the cult called PRAYORI OP SAYON. i've been hearing a lot of talk about the book Da Vinci Code. Since last year.





What the f****** hell is this code?

I thought that this was one of the books that my neurons couldn't take which will eventually be a cause for mass destruction of neurons which will take place in my spaghetti-colored brain. I remember back in 2004 when i was still in the city of pines, my cousin went there for a visit and went to the ever reliable in historical National Book Store in SM Baguio and he was so ecstatic when he bought this Black Book with big white fonts shouting the words DA VINCI CODE. That was my close encounter of the first kind with this book.

Months passed, people were raving about this book. Just like they did with the Harry Potter series. That the said book will definitely change your Catholic beliefs. But still, i have no time to read books like that. Not because i'm afraid that it MIGHT change what I believe in but because i just want to veer away from anything that talks about religion because such topic is as vast as the universe and my neurons are programmed to reject such kind of information. HAHAHAHAHA.

And so. Coming across this book for zillion times in different bookstores (NBS, PowerBooks, Fully Booked, Booksale (i saw one for 100 pesos with some pages missing! what kind of bookworm will buy such a book.) etc was not a hard thing to do.

But I had to buy the book as my xmas gift for my kuya. AND so i bought it. But before wrapping it up, I opened that very tight plastic hugging this brand new book.


I read the first page.


Got intrigued to proceed to the next page.


I decided to finish the first chapter.


Thought that I would do myself a favor if i'll read it up to the second chapter.


But since my favorite number is 3, i read it til the third chapter.


Then I closed the book.

The following day when i came home from work, i had nothing to do and mona lisa was winking at me as if shouting the words READ ME! READ ME!

I told myself. It wouldn't harm. I read the next 3 chapters.

This went on for 2 more days and I finished the book.

HEHE.

The movie was an expected surprise. I watched it with my friend Jinggayerz. I wore my pink jacket since i thought it wouldn't be that humid to go outside and submit myself to be a possible stampede victim while breezing through other passengers to get inside this can called MRT.

We bought food. Watched the movie in Glorietta. The passes that I won last Valentine is only good for Ayala Cinemas that's why we HAD to watch it there. Movie was fast-paced. It's like the first 30 minutes was almost half of the book itself. But it was good. The movie tackled and followed the book's plot quite directly. Removing other ingredients but still managed to suit the taste of the judges (Food tasting ba ito? hahahaha) The movie started at 11:30 am and finished at 2pm. We had to rush coz we still have work at 3pm. Jinggayerz bought food and wanted me to have a taste of Sampler 1 in Chef D'Angelo for free. WHY NOT? CHOCNUT? hahahaha Then we headed back to this can called MRT.

All the while, I was wearing my pink jacket and i was sweating. Profusely! I was in Malaria mode that time, hahahaha. Went back to work, 3 minutes to 3 pm. I was so damn exhausted and my first chat session for the day with an MSN customer, was such a pleasant experience nyeheheehheeh.... He found my name unusual and said that it was a very nice name nyehehehehe... He mentioned that he knew few tagalog words such as MANGAGA UMAGA and TANGALOG. wakakakakak.

Now, I'm about to eat my Sampler. my Free Sampler.

So when I tell you, i hate a certain book. Don't believe me.
