Waking Up At The Wrong Side Of The Bed

I normally wake up at 5:00 in the morning to work.

Today, I woke up at 5:45..and I feel sober.

I usually listen to a radio program on my way to work at 6:00 in the morning.

Today, I'm still waiting for my hot water...and burned myself at the stove.

I usually get out of the house by 6:15 in the morning.

At that time today, I'm still ironing my dress shirt.

I happen to get on the M.R.T. by 6:45 and have my own seat.

Today, I'm fighting my way just to enter a carriage.

I arrive at the office around 7:15 everyday.

Today, I'm running like hell from the train to the office just to arrive on time. And I'm still late.

Whole day of office work bloopers..." palpak at kamalasan".

and..

A teammate to whom I fancy seems to like the other guy.

*drop dead*

"Walang mananalo dyan, wala ka dun eh."

I don't know dude, but everything that happened that night was surreal!

I went to at an event*, where my younger brother joined a model search competition.

Since no one in the family can attend; and being the good "kuya" I am, I obliged to accompany him.

The story started when there I was , sitting alone at the bar. A guy seat mate eventually talked to me and we had some conversation going on. ( Its not about him, alright. )

And there I saw a lady wearing a pink spaghetti strap top and blue jeans ( Oh My God! How do I know these things?! ), at the bar too, with her lady friends. I was taken aback at first since a pack of girls cannot be easily preyed (*grins*) upon.

Anyway, as the night went on; after watching bodies at the ramp, drinking alcohol and believing words of wisdom from a stranger, I tried my luck on knowing the girl.

Then an idea suddenly came unto me. What if I do the "note-on-a-tissue and drink" approach? (It was vodka, by the way.) Well, I followed my instincts and did it.

Eventually, as she received the drink and read the note, I saw her smile that would have taken me straight to heaven's gates.

It worked!! She then approached and thanked me.

And I got her number.



*Style Eye Catcher Leg 8 Model Search Competition was held last October 20, 2007 at Cabin Bar, Tomas Morato in Quezon City

The Love Triangle

'Nuff said.

Been here and it broke me. I learned my lesson. I will not commit the same mistake I did.

The girl ( codename "J" ) is a team mate at the office. Since there are only two of us at the team, we eventually became close.

I thought this was it.

I'm gonna start my courting soon...

Now here comes this guy( codename "PJ" ) from our department that started courting her.

They became a bit close, too close I think.

Then one day, J told me that she doesn't want the PJ.

PJ, who's a friend of mine said to me that he fell ( in love) for J.

They both don't know my feelings for the J.

Feeling Half the Man I Am

I had a bad day today. I could sing James Blunt's song over and over again.

Thinking this might be a chance to make her laugh and believe I'm a fun guy, I was around my office crush when I accidentally blurt out the wrong words to the wrong person. In front of her.

"May crush ka sa akin ano?" (You do have a crush on me, right?).

It would have been a different story if I said it to her. But I said it to the messenger, who's a guy by the way. He just looked at me and smiled at me.

Witnessing what just happened, another office mate said " Ilabas mo na kasi ang totoong kulay mo, mahirap itago yan!"( Show your true colors, that's very hard to repress! ).

Talk about the getting a head shot by a cannon. Total wreckage.

By the way, she laughed. Mocking me.

Kobe in Manila

I'm not a hardcore fan of NBA but I respect Kobe Bryant for his playing prowess.

Some say his talent is close to the basketball legend Michael Jordan.

I joined some promo over the radio wherein you need answer a question about Kobe Bryant.

By the way, I'm not into basketball.

When I called in, the DJ asked.."What is Kobe Bryant's height?".

Damn.

Relying on my minute basketball knowledge and knowing that he plays the guard position,
I quickly replied, " 5' 8!".

Mali. Natabla pa ako ng DJ. ( Dude, if he's 5'8", I can play in the NBA! )

Anyway, lady luck was still at my side the next day when I called in again.

They asked the same question and answered correctly ( 6'6").

Anyway, i won a couple of tickets to see Kobe Bryant in person!

Kobe Bryant in Manila is part of Kobe's Asian Supernatural Tour, wherein he visits underprivilaged children who likes to play ball for his guidance and support.
He's going to be here on September 5 , at the Philsports Arena ( Ultra ) in Pasig City. He also will visit a Nike Park branch at the Fort Bonifacio.

My Theater Frustations...Answered by Trumpets Inc.!

I am a good singer.

I am! And I will be a recording artist.

Well, that was what I thought until I joined a singing competition at the office, and a judge commented on my lack of skill.

Oh well.

But I still want to be a good singer. The best singer perhaps.

So I joined Trumpets Inc. (...to answer my frustation )

Trumpets Inc. is a gospel theater group. They have been teaching street dancing, modelling, musical theater and othermusic lessons for almost ten years. The organization was known for their teaching method; the injection of spirituality and morality while conducting their workshops. And with this, they have been successful. Not only in their way of method of teaching, but also their productions! Few of their successful productions include the Little Mermaid, Joseph the Dreamer and Honk. And believe me, these are really big ones.

I haven't watched any of these productions, but I heard very good reviews and feedbacks from friends who have seen them on stage.



I'm getting excited! I'm gonna let you know what happens next on this workshop of mine. Maybe I will not be so single anymore after I attend the first class!

I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed!!!

Single Moments

1. Everyone(even the pretty girl at the next office cubicle) around you has a girlfriend. You're the only one who doesn't.

2. Sleepless nights.

3. Listening to Coldplay's Fix You. And you seem to get lost in it.

4. Reading Arnold Arre's After Eden. Then you start to believe that the story could happen to you.

5. One Tree Hill. Admit it, pal.

6. You seem to hug your pillow a little bit harder everytime.

7. Browsing your cell's phonebook for the next girl you can invite for a movie.

8. Porn.

9. Ocean Deep by Cliff Richard. Or any other love song you can connect the lyrics to.

10. Asking your parents what age did they get married your mom says " Your dad was 27 then...". Then you say to yourself " I'm 22, I still got 5 years..".


I mean, what's the point of going to the gym if you don't have someone you can show your well toned body, right?
