Day One

2009-09-01T06:37:00.000-07:00

It's officially my 9th day now in Taiwan. And updating the blog isn't as easy as I've expected o.o

Anyway, back to where I've stop........

I woke up around 330am on August 24th, 2009 (Mon). In anticipation of going to Taiwan that morning. But the real reason that I've wake up very early that morning is that I was gonna transfer my old My Book (wts 2kg) 500GB files to the new My Passport 500GB (around 750 grams) I bought earlier in SM North. The transferring of files took longer than I've expected! By the time 90% of the files were transferred it was already 620am! and I'm bound to leave my uncle's house by 630am...... So I have to sacrifice not to transfer the remaining 10% of my files from my old hard disk (which were mainly all movies) and rushed out of the house. and I left my bulky old My Book harddisk with my uncle danny for safekeeping. :3

We drop off Uncle Danny's children at St. Stephen School in Ongpin Binondo area and we head straight to NAIA 3. I arrived at the airport at around 830am which is less than 3hrs from my departure time. Everything went on smoothly from check-in to customs.

Before entering the waiting area, I saw something that I shouldn't have see!

Perfume in Duty Free! I can't resist buying good perfumes... I ended up buying Lacoste Red (Motion in Play i think) and it cost 70USD. Oh well, at least these perfume last me 2-3 years. Kinda worth the money.

There weren't much people when I reached the waiting area, guess I was kinda early being there. But it's better to be early than to be late, especially for international flights o.o

NAIA 3 Waiting Area

1040am was the boarding time for our plane bound for Taiwan (I boarded Cebu Pacific this time). The plane was actually 85% full when we are ready to take off, and I was seated next to a kid and her mom which they look like Filipinos. And suddenly the kid said, "Pang-Pang Cong Chang" which means "Chubby factory" (I was like LAWL!!) and her mom suddenly said, "Don't be rude to him, he's Taiwanese and he could understand you!" (in Mandarin). I replied them by saying "It's Ok, and I'm not Taiwanese... I'm a Filipino" (in Mandarin too.) And suddenly the mom said "Filipino ka pala?! Sensya na... Kala ko Taiwanese ka eh...". and as we talk to each other during the flight, I found out she was an OCW before in Taiwan and got married to a local Taiwanese and start living in Taiwan. Luckily I also found out that she's also gonna ride the Bullet Train bound for Kao Shiung which is only a station away from Tainan. (Boy was I glad that I had company during the travel to Taiwan! God never ceased to amaze us, it's as always said... "God will make a way~!"). So we kinda chatted until halfway of the trip and eventually fell asleep, guess we're all tired by waking up early. :3

By the time we arrived in Taoyuan International Airport it was already like 1:30pm. We took the bus to the Taoyuan Bullet Train Station, it cost 30 NT for one way and the trip only took like 15minutes. Oh, the bus leaves the station whether it's full or not! 'Coz there were only like 5 of us in the bus when we left for Cao Tie (高鐵).

Purchasing ticket in the Cao Tie or Bullet train station is as easy as ABC, First find out your destination, then go ahead to the counter and tell them your destination then pay. That's it o.o! (Taoyuan to Tainan cost 1,010NT one way).

The trip only took me like 1hr 30mins to get to Tainan, but if you take the bus it'll take you around 5-6hrs while traditional electrical train will take you 3hrs or so. The Bullet train travels so smoothly without any "bumpiness" along the way. and the interior of the train is more spacious than the plane I took earlier.

Arrived Tainan at around 4:30pm, and luckily the university arranged someone to fetch me at the station. I also met someone in the station that who's also going to the university, he was from Finland, (forgot his name though... I'm really bad with names... HONESTLY!) and he's here to take the 2 weeks cultural and mandarin class. Then we met the chauffeur who'd take us to the university. By the time we ended up in the university... it was already like 6pm. And I WAS BEAT! >_< !!

I was brought to my room in my dormitory, and that's when I met Benny (The one who took me to my room) and Mohammed aka Mome, my roommate.

And the rest is history..... nah, just kidding, I'll update my next entry soon. :3 (This is one of the longest post in months!)

Day Zero

2009-08-27T01:28:00.000-07:00

As you can recall in my previous post that I'm bound for Taiwan for my studies, but before reaching Taiwan I was in Manila for almost 24hrs. During those time I was able to stay over at my uncle danny's house for a night (and I got to save money too! <3)

Arriving in NAIA 2 from Zamboanga

I have planned out the whole afternoon to meet my little sister (Christine) and do some "lakwacha" :P and decided to meet each other in Trinoma, Quezon City.

We arrived in Trinoma at around 3 in the afternoon, and we started roaming the mall (since it was my 1st time going to this particular mall). We walked around the whole mall for like 2-3 times and then decided to head to SM North EDSA. And I couldn't believed how much SM North has changed since the last time I've been there.... (think it was 2005).

Many "window shopping" later, I decided to invite my sister to have dinner in T.G.I.F. (man! I really miss this resto.... but I didn't miss the price at all). Afterward we had desserts at Red Mango. I had the Green Tea Yogurt w/ Almond slices while sister just got the plain Green Tea Yogurt (diet daw... xD). The first bite tastes weird at all, coz it taste a little bit sour than I've expected but the more you had the better it tastes and eventually you'll look for more! o_O Although the yogurt's not really cheap at all, a small cup will cost you like P80 and each additional toppings will go for P20 each. But I'd still recommend to try it out once in awhile. :)

While having our yogurt, we went in Toys R' Us (the little kid inside can't resist not going into the toy shop). We fool around w/ some stuffs and we saw Rubiks 360 on sale (Which I have read 'bout it in Gizmodo.com some time back) and curiosity took over us and eventually we bought it at P699 each.

After all those pigging out and toy fondling, we finally called it a day and went our separate ways afterward. 'Coz I still got a big day of traveling the next day.

Stay tuned for Day 1 of my Taiwan travel. ;3

Musiq Review: Clazziquai Project - Love Again

2009-08-04T08:28:00.000-07:00

Time for another random music review from the land of the sun~ well, neighbor from the land of the sun to be exact.

Introducing Clazziquai Project!

Clazziquai (Hangul: 클래지콰이; Classic+Jazz+Groove) is a South Korea fusion band that combines several genres including Electronic music, acid jazz and house. The group's first short unofficial albums were released online in 2001, spreading its music through words of "Netizens" who positively received the group's unique music. They remained underground until the release of their first album Instant Pig in 2004, selling over 80,000 copies. Since then, their music has been used in various television commercials and movies, and has given them the chance to perform at various events.

Clazziquai's fame increased greatly after the success of My Lonely Solomon, a 2005 a kDrama (Korean Drama) that received over a 50% share by the end of its run. Clazziquai contributed two songs on its soundtrack: "Be My Love" and "She Is", the former of which became the show's theme song. The show's popularity brought the group increased media and public attention. The group won an award at the MNET KM Music Video Festival for "Best Soundtrack", and has also been the most nominated group at the Korean Popular Music Awards II(2회), winning "Artist of the Year" and "Best Pop".

Since then, they have released a second album Color Your Soul and its remixed version Pinch Your Soul in 2005, and released their third in June 2007, Love Child of the Century. The group's unconventional style has proven popular enough to have the group widen their focus to other countries, signing a contract with avex tracks in 2005, in addition to gaining a licensed album in Taiwan. They have contributed to works by Japanese artists, Fantastic Plastic Machine and M-flo. The group appeared on ETPFEST in 2008.

Kitty Madness (Kawaii-desu~!)

2009-07-16T01:47:00.001-07:00

Ok, I'm much of a sucker punch for adorable cute animals... makes me wanna squeeze 'em till they turn into a small ball. *lmao*

This one cat from Japan named Maru is on my "squeezing" list. This cat has one of the cutest overall feature that I've ever seen.... It's chubby, hugable, kinda bulky, chubby, funny "hobbies", chubby and did I say chubby? o_O

Anyway, Check out it's blog @ http://sisinmaru.blog17.fc2.com/

*oh yeah, the blog's is in japanese/nihonggo but some captions are translated in english and it's very easy to navigate.

Adventure Ahoy!

2009-07-05T07:05:00.000-07:00

In this lifetime you'll never stick to one routine that makes you think that you're used to, or getting tired of. Because you'll never know what will ever happen the very next day. Life is always been a mystery to mankind since the beginning of time.

Yeah, you tend to get sick of waking up in the morning (or afternoon for me -.-) and start saying "Meh, It'll be another boring day for me....." (True, we tend to say that once in awhile) BUT! Whenever you start to lose hope and giving up of finding that "happy place".... and "POOF!" opportunities always pops up out of nowhere or whenever you least expects it.

This is what happened to me for the past 2 months. On a boring Sunday night, when I think it'll just be the same usual evening (lame and typical game playing night while rotting in my shop) my sister suddenly drops by and hand me a brochure, which I didn't pay attention at first glance (I thought it was just another credit card application form). But my sister suddenly said it's about a university in Taiwan which caught my attention in an instant. That's just the start of the juicy information! Apparently, this university offers scholarship for upcoming Mandarin bachelor courses and English masteral courses. Golden opportunities doesn't come into your life that so often, and initially I was rather hesitant in applying but some of my friends convinced me that it is worth a try into the offer. And boy I'm glad I didn't turn down the offer back then. After I passed all my required documents, waited a few weeks and the good news came. "I GOT ACCEPTED!" *dances like a nerd* and best of all, the course I applied was one of my dream job interest of my life.

This coming August 24th, 2009 will mark as the day where A new chapter in my life, a new adventure to explore. As I'll be attending as a college student (again lol) taking up Mandarin Bachelor Degree in Digital Arts of Computer and Multimedia Entertainment in Souther Taiwan University (STUT) in Tainan, Taiwan R.O.C.

So only God knows what's ahead of me for the coming school year, but I'm sure it'll be an exciting and new life.

Musiq Review: Genki Rockets - Heavenly Stars

2008-12-13T04:09:00.000-08:00

Wonder if you guys noticed the songs that's been featured in my imeem here? Pretty catchy and lively isn't it?

Well, it's all from the same band namely "Genki Rockets". It's a japan base band made up of unamed musical artists. The face of the group is 18-year old Lumi, a fictional girl who was born in space on September 11, 2037 and has never been to Earth. Lumi's voice is synthesized by taking samples from several different female singers.

Genki Rockets is unique in that the band's music videos are almost entirely computer-generated, including the band's one and only lead fictional character, Lumi. The visual art style for the music videos are created by Japan's Glamoove, Inc, and was inspired by Norwegian band, A-ha's "Take on Me" music video.

Most the songs from this band are up-beat, happy and simple songs which is very addictive from time to time.

the lyrics for Heavenly Stars are as follows:
I hear your whispers
surrounded in silence, blue vibration
I hear the waves
singing in the distance, pure isolation
I smile into the distance
far away from you, we're in resolution
I'm dreaming, touching
breathing side by side, dive into the sky

Let's get away, fly away
I found the path to paradise
Shining spiral of gold
Take my hand, find our way out

Heavenly stars above
Just believe what's in your heart
No border between us
I can always feel you inside
Where ever we are

I see you, feel you, I am your creation
Everlasting affection
Life's an endless spiral going round
Yes! We are in love!

Let's get away, fly away
I found the path to paradise
Shining spiral of gold
Take my hand, find our way out

Heavenly stars above
Just believe what's in your heart
No border between us
I can always feel you inside
Where ever we are

Let's get away, fly away
I'm feeling raindrops on my face
Sun shines through the clouds, yeah
Rainbow all around us

I spread my wings, fly away
The wind sweeps me off my feet
Blowing me away
Trees whispering to me
I'm feeling free now

Lets get away, fly away
I found the path to paradise
Shining spiral of gold
Take my hand, find our way out

Heavenly stars above
Just believe what's in your heart
No border between us
Nothing can divide us
Where ever we are

Retro Review: The Cosby Show

2008-12-05T06:32:00.000-08:00

This show had to be one of the BEST sitcom in TV history for me, I used to watch it while I was young together with Family Ties, The Wonder Years, Small Wonder & Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

You don't see Sitcom nowadays with such witty and funny antics without using sarcasm. Yeah, sitcoms like "That 70's Show" and "Grounded for Life" are pretty funny... BUT! It doesn't deliver much moral values or good examples like sitcoms before (80's-90's) one. And frankly speaking, I don't seem to look for these show after it ended.

The Cosby Show started airing in 1984 and running for eight seasons on the NBC network, until 1992. The show focused on the Huxtable family, an upper-middle class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York on how they raise their child and how they settle family matters/conflicts with daily life issues.

Having aired for 201 episodes, The Cosby Show is the third-longest running U.S. comedy with a predominantly African-American cast, surpassed only by The Jefferons and Family Matters.

Fact:
Whitney Houston was considered for the role of Sondra Huxtable.
Raven Symone (aka known as Raven Boxter in That's so Raven) had her debut in this series starting season 6.

According to TV Guide, the show "was TV's biggest hit in the 1980s, and almost single-handedly revived the sitcom genre and NBC's ratings fortunes - Taken from Wiki.org.

My rating for this show...... 9/10!

A must watch for retro TV series.

Lost and Alone

2008-07-03T04:11:00.000-07:00

It's been pretty long since I last wrote something 'bout my life.... but if i write something about my life in this blog it's usually pretty sad, well... that's my only motivation in writing here though.

I just went wild and berserk mode in front of my mom, she just kept saying something regarding work, how i defend my workers/employee... Ok first, EMPLOYEES ARE PEOPLE TOO! I just dont like how my mom pin-point at any people at fault, I just like to let her know aside from PIN-POINTING all of the staff, just get to the freakin' mastermind! You're just gonna HURT more people with your way of accusing. and I really got pissed when she said to shut my mouth whenever she's "accusing". I mean I know she's my mom and her position being in my life, but blurring that phrase out off her lips is just too extreme... I just felt disowned.

Ok, i'll make it real short and straight to the point: "I'M SICK OF MY LIFE!"

Why?

Oh, I'd be gladly to elaborate WHY! Let me see, I work almost everyday... even on my day-off I even felt like working, and I don't feel the achievement, compliment, the desired PAY for it. And I think I never feel I'll be ever rewarded though with this keep going. and I NEED A DECENT BREAK! ALONE! WITHOUT WORK-LOADS KEEP AFTERING ME! And I never understand why my parents keep on saying I had my vacation when we last went to Davao, yeah that was a good vacation, BUT IT WASN'T RELAXING AT ALL! too much activities and i keep feeling uncomfortable there, maybe it just wasn't what I expect it to be. How I wish my effort at work would eventually pay-off, I mean my parents doesn't offer me a vacation or in some kind of goods. And even day off my mom doesn't even bother to remember it, and i ended up delivering the stocks to work instead of relaxing at home.

The saddest thing being in my work shift is you don't get to interact, socialize with people much and ironically I'm at a "Gimmick" hot-spot from where I'm working. And suddenly I felt what was it to be lonely and deserted. I mean, from my used to active social life, doing stuffs with close friends, especially going to church, doing His works, sharing His words with fellow church mates and even some non-believers. I used to had fun, and I was never alone. But recently it came to a point that I'm scared, scared of being alone.

But I found out being alone wasn't the scariest part of living this life, instead it was not getting to feel how is to be "Loved". I might not show the signs... but trust me.. I'm on the verge of losing my sanity and humanity. and my parents doesn't even get to take my signs seriously. Ok, this is something weird happened to me which I find it disturbing... There was a time when i felt sick and I told my mom, "Ma, I'm feeling sick... I might not be able to go to work....." then she replied "Who will bring the stocks/supplies to work?" then suddenly I just don't know how to react to it.. I mean, that was rather inconsiderate of my feeling by saying something like that. So whenever i feel sick, I just resume go to work 'coz I feel like they're implementing that even if I'm sick, YOU NEED TO GO TO WORK! So I never bother telling them I'm sick anymore. There was this instance that I was seriously sick to the point I was getting the chills and my head was aching like hell at work, it was then they got the point that I was seriously sick and offer me to home. But it was already too late, i was technically speaking half-dead at work too drained to even move. It's just that both my parents are very dense when comes to personal feelings. I hope they'll get to be more sensitive when approaching their children.

At this point of life, I'm totally lost and ALONE, emotionally and physically stressed.. If only there would be a miracle to save me upon this terrible peril I'm encountering.

Well this is not the last of my entry though... I feel like writing more...

Tubbies!!

2007-11-14T08:07:00.000-08:00

What is House Music?

It's the typical song which makes you move and groove... LoL, but seriously... it's a genre of music heavily base on Bass, Fast beat, electro dance music. It's pretty addictive listening to it, especially when you're feeling down or bored. 'Coz this type of music kinda cheers you up and puts your mood up a notch~

ELE: Chocolate Edition

2007-10-08T08:07:00.000-07:00

ELE simply means Eat, Live and Experience.

We need food to nourish our body, we eat every day of our life and we crave these food. But do you guys ever stop, feel and savor the food that's been prepared for you? Every certain ingredient has it's own distinctive taste and aroma. Take time to observe and enjoy the food you've been indulge.

Think food as an form of art, emotion and experience. You take time to taste and appearance of the food, when you prepare the food you're feeling happy, sad, frustrated, angry and such emotions. And you cook a lot better through experience, every time you cook is always new and sometime adventurous (adding new flavors to the same old recipe that you have thus creating a new flavor.)

I'll tackle chocolate as the topic for this ELE edition.

We all love chocolate! (well, almost all XD) and we can always prepare it in different ways, let your imagination go wild when preparing it. Even Chocolate + Wasabe sounds delicous! seriously.

Be a little artistic when preparing, it will add the gusto appeal to the food up a notch!

Or sometimes we can go for the simple look for the sophisticated appeal.

If you really wanna enjoy the taste of the chocolate, have a cup of coffee beside when biting these delicacies, the bitterness of the coffee will bring out the rich cocoa flavor and making more rich and tasty, by the way don't add any sugar to your coffee it'll destroy the taste of the chocolate....

Dark Chocolate Truffles:
Ingredients needed:
250 grams Dark Chocolate, finely chopped
1/.2 cup Heavy Cream (Nestle All purpose cream would do)
28 grams Butter (Never use margarines)
1 tbsp Coffee liqour (Kahlua and such)
3 tbsps Cocoa Power (Hershey's Dutch style chocolate powder)

Procedure:
1. Put chopped dark chocolate in bowl
2. Heat heavy cream in a sauce pan, bring it to full boil.
3. Pour this over the chocolate. Let it stand for 2 minutes
4. Gently stir the cream into chocolate until smooth.
5. add butter and coffee liqour and cool it in room temperature.
6. Put it in chiller for atleast 3 hours, shape it with a scooper (small ice cream scooper would do)
7. Roll and toss in cocoa poweder.
8. SERVE and Indulge!!

Lack of Inspi.....

2007-08-19T04:21:00.000-07:00

I used to have lots of idea for artworks and character designs stored up in my mind when I was still young... But recently I've noticed that all those imaginativeness kinda suddenly disappear .

Whatever happen to my cup of thoughts and ideas? Is it true that the older you get, the less imaginative you'd get?

Or it's just that I'm so tied up to my work and eventually have no more time to imagine stuffs up?

When i thought of the last statement, i said to myself, "NOOOOOO!! I don't wanna be like this!! I want to be the old cartoony self again!! 'Coz it ain't fun being the all ever serious Mikki that I am right now."

Hopefully that I would regain the old habit of mine and could draw and think of my artistic side again. (In short, I'm suffering from artist's block.)

The Chipmunks are...... BACK!

2007-08-15T11:12:00.000-07:00

Remember when we were still young.. the time was the 80's and 90's? We used to watch cartoons day and nights, caring nothing but fun and cartoons too? And cartoons such as thunder cats, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, Care Bares and... Alvin and the Chipmunks?

Well........... Alvin and the Chipmunks are coming to a theater near you this Yuletide Season!! you heard me right! A brand new movie from the 20th century fox with our lovable chipmunks! Alvin, Simon and Theodore in all their wacky voices. Although this time, it's not a animated 2d movie... but rather a 3D CG mixed with live action. Just like how they did Garfield the movie (Hopefully it won't end up like Garfield's cheesy storyline). It's worth checking out though, considering how we used to love the cartoon way back! (They're just damn adorable!)

Posted below are the Theater Poster and a Trailer of the Movie.. Just love their new song!

by the way... just love when Theodore said... "Oh..." after Alvin's line at the last part of the trailer! XD

ENJOY~ !!

Happy Thougts: July 2, 2007

2007-07-02T04:29:00.000-07:00

So Bored.... Anyway, here's a clip that I "unearthed" in youtube...

"Do not Laugh or get spanked...."

Inconsiderate..

2007-06-30T10:07:00.000-07:00

We are Human, we commit mistakes.... but what if they made a mistake that would hurt your feelings? Just like something that blurred out of their mouth accidentally of unintentionally? What if they done something stupid.. like make a fool out of you just 'coz he's bored?

This is what I call... "Inconsiderate." They just do stuff what would amuse or entertain themselves without thinking the consequences that would happen or would result to.

Ok, so I was pissed off at work when someone made a fool out of their comrade (This is what i call them between employees). Anyway, considering it was a very childish act... posting a "post" on a back of their comrade that says Gwapo ako (I'm handsome in Tagalog). I'm ok with their act of joke BUT The problem is that he's a waiter that would be exposing his "back" to the customer, which was well... they were laughing or snickering behind him. and which also I would consider that the reputation of the Shop (Which is a coffee shop for pete's sake... it's a class and sorta educated ambiance that surrounds the entire shop!!!) was kinda... inappropriate!

That really pissed me off!! DAMN!! how childish could they get? Do they know that they're hurting their fellow comrade... in a huge crowd? Is he really that inconsiderate of other's feeling? I'm so... out of words describe that incident!! DAMN! (Ok.. so I kinda over-used the term damn... XD)

Oh yeah, it's so happens that whenever i'm pissed or angry.. it's usually the time that the employees start to act seriously with their work and doing the chores maturly.. watda? Should I act angrily everytime i get to work just to make them work harder? (Just a cent of thought)

Anyway, just a short shoutout for the day...

Anime Review: Honey & Clover (1 & 2)

2007-06-25T10:54:00.000-07:00

One of my passion for entertainment is anime, i just love watching animes.

Why? 'Coz it's fun and meaningful! (Well, not all of them actually... some are just plain mindless and stupid)

Honey & Clover is considered as one of my Top 5 anime of all time (as of June 25, 2007 actually). Due to it's storyline and funny antics too.

Episodes:

Season 1 (26 episodes) aired on 2005-04-14

Season 2 (12 episodes) aired on 2006-06-29

Story:

Season 1

Second-year art student Yuuta Takemoto lives the typical college life: sleeping, eating, and dealing with troublesome apartment mates like eccentric Morita and ladies' man Mayama. Life gets interesting when Hagumi Hanamoto, the gifted niece of Professor Shuuji Hanamoto, comes to school and surprises everyone with her talents (and unusually young appearance). Takemoto wants to make friends with her, but Morita always seems to make the first move; Hagu-chan, meanwhile, is afraid of the boys and prefers the company of pottery student Ayumi Yamada. Gradually they all warm up to each other, learning the ups and downs of college life and beyond.

Season 2

The sequel and final installment to the highly popular series once again delves into the life stories and love lives of Takemoto Yuuta, Mayama Takumi and Morita Shinobu. The story continues where the first season left off, after Takemoto's self-discovery journey around Japan. Of course, the love triangles and tribulations they face will continue, and eventually decide the paths to their future.

Why is it Good?

Well, story of each complicated character is well portrayed. And every character's life is intertwined with each other. It contains comedy, romance and drama... A typical "slice of life" genre anime. and the story sometimes can be related to our real life, 'coz most of the happenings in the story usually happens in real life too!

Go watch this anime! even if you don't watch one... I'm FORCING you to watch it!! it's one heck of a best anime 'till now. hehe

Blank....

2007-06-24T03:45:00.000-07:00

Ok, it's either my life is so boring that I don't have anything to share about..... or..... I'm running out of ideas to talk about!

Anyway, just having a short update... It seems to be my life's turning to the brighter side as for now.
*Weeee~*

R&R

2007-06-20T03:03:00.000-07:00

R&R = Rest & Relaxation

Ok, so yesterday was not the type R&R I've expected to be. Considering that I proposed to myself to have a day off. (Since I was still at work for almost half day long).

After my "escapade" from work, my friends planned a private place to have our private dinner and private chatting session. (See how I stress the word "Private"?). All things were according to plans! we hadn't have this type of gathering for a LONG time! since we were all quite busy with our work, and responsibilities... Hopefully we could do this type of gathering once a week. ( ^-^)v

When all the people came, we ordered our food and chat and chat and CHAT! Right after a few minutes our drinks came and we sip our little hearts out on our beverages and were expecting that the food would be served in a couple of minutes from then....

10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes has passed and our food hasn't arrived yet.... (Ok, so I was starving to death then.. I didn't had my lunch that day..), and we finally realized that this is one of those restaurant that we should have pre-order first before coming (the place's know for it's "slower than a speed of crawling snail" food service a.k.a Antonio's Steak House in Pasonanca.). So... since we were having a great yapping away so we decide to let our bratty attitude slip aside. Until the food's finally served in front of our eyes... then it was time that we finally decided to let our talking rest and make our eating do the work for next 3 minutes.

And just wanna make my journal short, I had a great time yesterday! (Well, especially me! This is the kind of talking I want to have... not all the nagging and complaints to receive here at work). In conclusion, I HAD FUN LAST NIGHT!! But it was rather short... wished we leave the place a little later. ( T_T)

Slave of Work?

2007-06-18T03:39:00.000-07:00

Before we discuss about the topic, let me explain the meaning of each word

Work:
1. Exertion or effort directed to produce or accomplish something.
2. One's place of employment.
3. Productive or operative activity.

Slave:
1. A person entirely under the domination of some influence or person.
2. To work very hard or doggedly; toil.

These could be few of meanings that would explain each word accordingly, then When we make a phrase when joining these two words we have Slave of work which can simply means most of the time the slaves had to do the hardest work their boss had for them.

This is actually what I'm experiencing right now, tight up to work which I didn't expect that it would be such a drag! Although I enjoy doing stuffs at work, but not to an extent when it becomes a chain tied to my neck which prevents me from going out or having my own social life! It's always work and no decent social life to have.... When times that you don't even have time to talk with your friends and have a good time.

WORK + WORK + WORK + WORK + STRESS + WORK + WORK = More WORK & STRESS!

It seems the cycle never ends when you become a slave of work. Trust me! Been there and still suffering! ( T-T) anyhow, you become to an extent that you eventually lose the goal and main purpose of life and also getting very depressed due to 0% of social life that you're experiencing... and in the end, you'll end up emotionally down, and sometimes end up crying in the corner (ok, so I shouldn't have said that). It's pretty lonely when you're in my position, so lonely you feel SO sorry for yourselves.

Lesson learned? Always cherish the friends that is around you, when you're down and weary go to them! They'll always there to help you! Although there are times that you have to tell them how you feel, they're not usually super sensitive to detect your mood and feeling ( ^-^) and take time having your rest, and ASK for a appropriate time to have a day off! Rejuvenate those tired bones and muscle, put your brain into hibernate mode and relax. (Which for the 1st time in 2 months that I'll be having my deserved day off tomorrow!)

And lastly, Thanks to my friends! Thank you for helping me out when I'm down!! ( ^3^)/

Hindered Dream

2007-06-17T04:16:00.001-07:00

All these years... there's something that i wanna do, is to become a cartoonist/animator/graphic design or in short as an artist. It is something that i really dream to be since i was an innocent child *hehe.*

Why? Hmm, i think it has something to do with Disney! The Magic of Disney to be exact ( ^3^) Almost every Disney animation that was ever produced was so amazingly done and so colorful (except for the few recent ones which is a big disappointment to me especially Atlantis). It kinda makes people feeling good and happy after they watch it. And i wanna be someone who could make people smile and happy for what i drew and paint. But that i could also express whatever i feel for that moment of time, if ever I'm happy or sad. (*o* )

Although it's one dream that's been on hold for now, until i could find the right time. This reminds me of a certain song from Disney and it goes like this.. "A dream is a wish your heart makes" which is one of my most favorite line that motivates me not to give up my dream but to continue to achieve it. Even when things don't go what you planned or people don't appreciate the things you do (^-^(~_~ )

I think this is all I have to talk about for today, and once again Thank you for dropping by.

Snapped!

2007-06-16T01:09:00.000-07:00

OK, just recovered from a recent "snap" i had a couple of hours ago...

Why?

WORK + EMPLOYEE + EVERYTHING ANNOYING AND BAD!

it's just that i can't stand people pouring unnecessary stress and problems over me. Especially when it's repetitive and demanding as it is! DAMN! I'm just a living , breathing pile of human flesh! Dammit! what else do want me to be? a Living computer that would do things PERFECTLY and according to your PLANS? THEHECKWITHYOU!

And I'm starting to go NuTs with my employees, they're hard-headed as a diamond (if only there's something harder than diamonds and that would be a perfect thing to describe 'bout them).

So maybe I'm overreacting..... but still, all i ever want is a sympathy and a good rest. Just to unwind and recover my body and my being (which means both spiritually and mentally).......... hopefully that certain someone would read this and soften his unsympathetic heart and feel my pain and agony of all these.

I think is all I have to say for now.. for all who ever read this, thank you and sorry for "forcing" you to read this ( ^-^)v

Welcome~!

Welcome to one of my Blog here at blogger.com! ( ^3^)/

Somehow, I feel the need of a blog to shout out all my problems and stress at certain point of time... which i come to the idea of creating a blog about it.

Although it may not be rants all the time, I would consider some raves and some "happenings" around my life (If ever i could get a social life.) ( T_T)

Just sit back and relax, and enjoy all my outpour of emotions and nonsense.
