Ginawa ito ng magaling na editor namin para sa isang sample product namin...



I say marami pang kulang dito.

Bora's good, too, but this place looks heavenly...

Bellarocca, Marinduque, Philippines

The Meralco Bolts line-up

(L-R) Ogie Menor, Chris Ross, Ford Arao, Khazim Mirza, Marc Cardona, Gabby Espinas, Nelbert Omolon, Yousif Aljamal, Pong Escobal, Marlou Aquino, Riego Gamalinda, Dennis Daa, Jason Misolas, Sean Weinstein...

Why, you ask?

First of all, I have this thing about sweaty guys running back and forth a basketball court, "boxout-ing" each other.

Second, my dad works in Meralco so I think that rooting for their team was inevitable.

Third, IDOL KO SI MACMAC CARDONA! Woot!

Fourth, Ogie Menor, Pong Escobal and Yousif Aljamal in one team reminds me of the 2007 San Beda Red Lions dream team.

Lastly,

I WANT TO GO TO MERALCO ONE OF THESE DAYS TO WATCH THEM TRAIN AND GET AUTOGRAPHS AND TAKE PICTURES 'CAUSE OHMYGOD I AM A HUGE FAN OF MOST OF THE PLAYERS.

'Nuf said.

Now, if only Joseph Yeo were part of their line-up...

The new OB is sooooo much better...

I can only say nice things about my new OB.

(That's her. I'm such a stalker.)

She's pretty (Haha. Lesbo much?) and she's bubbly and perky and she always seems to be in a good mood. She's caring and thoughtful in an Ate kind of way. Ate 'cause she teases her patients a lot but you know she does that 'cause she cares.

I know that's a lot to say on just the first meeting but that's how I felt when I saw and talked with her.

We'll see in the coming weeks.

PS. We still don't know if it's a boy or a girl because Jellybean was hiding during ultrasound yesterday. As Dr. Amorin said, "Nagpapasuspense!".

Edit: I remembered just now who she looks like - 'cause when I first saw her, her face was vaguely familiar to me. She looks like my Stat teacher in high school. Lau, if you're reading this, she looks like Ms. Cusi, diba?

Since I couldn't make mental notes on all them OBs, I'm listing them all here.

My great friends referred doctors to me. I love you all!
  • Dra. Rebecca Singson-Zahar of Makati Med (Referred by Kat)
  • Dra. Adelia Quijano of UERM (Referred by Ella)
  • Dra. Sheila Illescas of In My Womb (Referred by Karla)
Any more referrals, anyone?

OB-GYN problems still...

My head has been aching Thursday night. I thought I could just ignore it but it continued on til today. I called my OB-GYN who's never been available to answer calls from her patients and told her assistant what was happening to me. I also asked her about the ultrasound she asked me to have. The assistant told me she'll get back to me 'cause the doctor had a patient when I called. Guess what happened?

She didn't text/call me back!

I followed up on it every hour on the hour since my last call, she didn't reply. I called the clinic again, iba na sumagot since she shares her clinic with her husband.

Grrrr... She makes me mad but I just thought that one of her patients went on labor already that's why she didn't get back to me. But I am NEVER going back to her anymore. I just have to figure out how I'd get all my records back. She has everything. Damn.

Kasabay ng aking pagalis sa trabaho...

...ang aking paglipat ng OB-GYN.

My OB-GYN is the aunt of my boss.

I am not changing OB-GYNs because of that, though. That'll be shallow. I am changing OB-GYNs because both Bry and I don't think she's taking good care of me and the little one.
  1. She and her assistant does not reply to any of my messages and wants me to call her nalang. First, we don't have enough money to spend on load. Second, not all the time we have access to a phone. And lastly, she should be accessible 24/7 in whichever way possible, right?
  2. She gets annoyed when I ask too many questions. I mean, hello? I AM supposed to ask questions. It IS my first time and I feel all different kinds of pain so why shouldn't I ask?
  3. It seems like everytime I meet her, she wants to get rid of me. It's like she doesn't take interest.
...I could go on all night with all my reasons why I don't like her but I'm not complaining anymore. I will just replace her.

Bestfriends...

I went through blogs of people I know and I don't know. They all have bestfriends and they rant about how great these bestfriends are and how they'd spend their entire lives with them if given the chance and yadda yadda yadda...

Then it struck me.

I am planning to get married soon (yes, I am and really soon) and the biggest dilemma I'm having as of the moment is that I don't have my Maid of Honor since I don't have a female bestfriend (all of my bestfriends have been guys). I know I can easily stick with my sister or some cousin but even the cousin I am closest to is a guy.

If there's a way where a guy could be my Maid of Honor, I'd have Kuya walk down the aisle, no doubt.

I'm officially tired.

I'm handing in my resignation first thing Monday morning.

Does this make me a prostitute?

I started reading this book this morning and the first page of the first chapter made me laugh.

Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria.

Like all prostitutes, she was born both innocent and a virgin, and, as an adolescent, she dreamed of meeting the man of her life (rich, handsome, intelligent), of getting married (in a wedding dress), having two children (who would grow up to be famous) and living in a lovely house (with a sea view).

Eleven Minutes
Paulo Coelho

I was born both innocent and a virgin. I've always dreamt of meeting the man of my life and getting married and having TWO children and living in a lovely house by the sea.

So, does this make me a prostitute?

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

I will be filing my resignation next week when all - and I mean ALL - the projects started pouring in. The Villar Group suddenly barraged us with all projects imaginable that I don't even have time to breathe. Add that to the walk-in clients who think they know better even if they don't know what the difference between UPloading and DOWNloading is (Yes, I am bitter. That lady stressed the hell out of me yesterday) and the result is the most chaotic office I've seen.

With projects piling up and both the in-house and freelance PMs no where in sight, I have to step up on my last days as coordinator. I have been texting non-stop. Suppliers. Clients. Production managers. Sales agents. Nobody can get a hold of me for more than 5 minutes. Feels like everyone needs to talk to me about something. I can't sit down for a couple of minutes if I want to. Even my boyfriend needs to pull me off the computer to make me eat lunch.

I am not at all complaining because I actually enjoyed last week's busy schedule but I only have this to say:

BAKIT NGAYON LANG KUNG KELAN DESIDIDO NAKONG UMALIS?!

Wrong timing or just plain coincidence, I don't know. I'll just enjoy it while it's here.

I do.

I love you, Noe! :)

My highschool friend posted this on my Facebook wall and it was the sweetest thing someone ever did for me... On a social networking site, anyway. :)

SWEETEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST! ♥

Resigning from my current job...

I was inspired by Ariane's post regarding quitting your current job (you can find it here).

I took a leave from work to build my "power resume" - if you call it that - and find a job that I will actually enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, though. I enjoy being in the office. All the crazy people who compliment and complement each other. All the internet and cigarettes you want when you want them. All the free time you could ever ask for. It has become my comfort zone and I've grown to love the place and all the people - all 14 of them, including Bry ♥ - who work there.

But I realized just now that since my previous Production Manager (Hello Mameh!) resigned, I just didn't have the same dedication to my work anymore. Maybe it's because after she left, they won't let me go to shoots just because of that one measly incident in our Mister Donut project. I actually think that wasn't fair but, yeah, what am I to do, right? Anyway, I'm all over that. Especially now that I have a reason not to go to shoots anymore. ☺ Plus, I'm not blaming anyone or anything regarding this.

I think I just don't enjoy my work there now, as much as I did before. Yes, I have been given bigger responsibilities now and they trust me to handle one whole department but I don't feel happy doing it. It's like I'm going through the motions but I can't feel fulfillment when I finish a task... We're not even talking about the "technical part" of being an employee (ie benefits, salaries, etc).

My decision to resign might be a selfish move to some. I might agree with them at some point but I have to think about how I want my/our life to be perfect. This is one small step to that goal.

Now, back to my "power resume".

Note: I'm considering working online 'cause I'm tamad like that.

THE HOEDOWN THROWDOWN! (Yes, I am a Hannah Montana fan)

7 Days.

While waiting for our parents to pick us up in Shang last night, Carlo and I were singing to Craig David's 7 Days...

I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday

...when we both realized that the lyrics were that close to this song:

Lunes nang tayo'y magkakilala
Martes nang tayo'y muling nagkita
Miyerkules nagtapat ka ng yong pag-ibig
Huwebes ay inibig din kita
Biyernes ay puno ng pagmamahalan mga puso natin ay sadyang nag-aawitan
Sabado tayo'y biglang nagkatampuhan
At pagsapit ng Linggo giliw ako'y iyong iniwan

Yes, we were bored.
