Ano Ba Sa Tagalog and Random?

I am asking because I was supposed to put Random Thoughts in Tagalog. Hindi ko maisip eh, kaya eto na lang sila:

:: sa dinami-dami ng ginagawa ko na in all fairness nasa position description ko naman, akalain mong kailangan kong i-log ang aking narereceive na international calls araw araw. mind you, hindi lang basta log, kailangang iindicate mo sino tumawag, saang state, anong concern at paano mo ito naresolba. to keep track daw of the social contact. okay *rolls eyes*. minsan pa naman feel na feel ng mga international callers na ito na harrassin ka dahil hindi ka Amerikano. hindi naman ako papatalo no. "The proper procedure to appeal a refused visa is to reapply." tapos sasagutin ka ng "Huwwaaat? Reapply again?" pag naman tlagang hindi ka manggagalaiti no?

:: on my way to and from work, i further conclude that majority ng mga estudyante ngayon, at least along the taft avenue university belt, ay may pucca bags. in all shapes and sizes and colors. "Pucca-- Funny Love" naks no?

:: carrot soaps ni ivy

:: lately, i have this fascination for heather graham, who according to one male friend, "looks better naked". thanks kay eman at pinahiram nya ako ng killing me softly. nanghihinayang nga ako dahil super angelic ang kanyang face to be a mild porn star. btw, tammy knows the reason behind this fascination. hindi po ako natotomboy. ano ako si J_m_y? i don't want to change the world no.

:: speaking of porn, napagalitan ako ni mom for buying a dvd copy of Caligula. weno ba, hindi naman ako ganon ka-crooked. eh sa ganon talaga gusto i-depict si Caligula eh! meron na rin akong The Station Agent. minsan talaga maappreciate mo ang Divisoria for these rare finds (hi Edu!).

:: "disregard". wala lang.

:: ang pinakahuling memento ni chelli sa akin ay ang kanyang book na confessions of a cineplex heckler. i don't know how hilarious it can be but perhaps it's much more sarcastic than jessica zafra's twisted flicks. can't wait to read it.

:: i rarely become kilig with romance novels and chick books having started them young. bihira na lang talaga. but Pink Slip had me. really. and may sequel pa pala,pero wala pa sa powerbooks. if you have time, do check this book out, and its sequel, Remind Me Again Why I Married You.

:: whack me, sneer at me, pero kanina ko lang napanood ang Shrek. as in the first one ha. sa isang linggo naman yung Shrek 2. nyahahahaha!!

:: to watch out for: Imelda (Greenbelt) at ang July issue ng People Asia (hi Jacs!). wala lang.

:: Job handed me The Island of the Day Before. i am quite excited plunging to the realm of Umberto Eco. sana lang maappreciate ko sya.

:: the child in me was so happy yesterday, all because of a tigger notebook and a nemo writing pad. unexplainable happiness. weird no??

:: slashed my savings for a new aircon. hamo na nga, kailangan eh. ilang blouses, pants and books din yun...*tingin sa taas habang nagbibilang*. pero hamo na.

:: happy father's day bukas sa daddy ko at sa lahat ng fathers out there!!!

BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS

Bad news--well, not that bad but:

:: Chelli is not a part of the ComTeam anymore. Sad thought really, and worse, we learned about the internal news that affects her would-be replacement. Dang that freaking power.

:: Our neighbors have turned worse. I understand the sore feeling after my "pataygutom" statement but if they want a street level war, I won't give it to them.

::Greg Hammaker was beaten up in Bora last weekend. Poor guy, he was so sweet like his dad, I cannot imagine him being involved in any conflict that will lead to something like that.

::My blood pressure has not gone better. After going down to 90/60 last week, I don't know what it is now but I am sure it is basically still along that range. Whew.

:: A lot of people are leaving post. Tita Gigi, Paul, Tina, Anita, Mr. Rowan (sige na nga), Carter (soon)....

::This week has been a busy one at work but I've been lax the whole time. Not that I don't care but...

Good news!

:: New books! Fear of Fifty by Erica Jong (don't ask me why I bought that, I just love her razor-sharp wit), Dilbert's Guide to Finding Happiness at the Expense of your Co-Workers (hehehehe!!) and The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve.

:: Swapped my books for Vivian's Pink Slip and Moon Women.

:: Lent The Da Vinci Legacy to Job, in exchange of his introduction to the realm of Umberto Eco, and his endorsements of The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum.

:: Discovered Benson's Eatery. Wala lang.

:: Erwin is gradually coming out of his shell. Barubal na din sya. "Sino ang may ipapadala, dadalhin ko na ang accordion sa kabila, na dapat si Judith pero nagpapatay malisya..." I loved that line!

:: My mom and I have made up. It's amazing how we can look at each other, burst out laughing and the invisible wall immediately vanishes into thin air.

:: Marie is in love. She may be a few months older but she's definitely a baby in our eyes, next to Emman who we always bash.

SPYWARE, BP, BOWLING, XDA, ETC.


Mga bagay na naglalaro sa isip ni fearless_bounce:

:: may spyware o adware ang computer ko. ewan, wala naman akong dina-download na kahit ano maliban sa hangaroo at ym. lahat pati kazaa tinanggal ko na, 100 years pa din mag-browse. tulungan nyo ako kung pano ko matatanggal ito, nakakabad trip eh.

:: ang aking blood pressure kaninang umaga ay bumaba sa 90/70. siguro it has been that way since monday. hindi ko ito pwede sabihin sa mom ko kasi babalik yun sa akin at for sure sasabihin nyang, "O, anong sinasabi ko sa 'yo??! Sige, magpuyat ka pa ng magpuyat kaka-chat!"

:: since hindi ko maipaalam dito sa bahay, mag-u-undergo ako ng iron enhancement diet para hindi na ako madalas nahihilo. kanina, napagtripan na nila ako sa seafood wharf at pinakain ng santambak na tahong in butter. hindi na nila ako napilit sa liver steak. eeww..that's kinda too much (with the signature kris aquino accent) na.

:: bowling tourney na uli. syemaks, memories. kay eric...si joy, kay polly. sheesh. isang taon na pala yun. pero this year, kasali na ako. EVAF team ha..hmmm. corny pero okay na. to make bawi for my delinquency to the 2nd degree, pumayag na akong maging secretary ng committee. isang payo lang ang binigay ng maraming tao pagkatapos ng meeting-- "wag mong gagawin yung minutes (of the meeting). hayaan mo sya. mabait yang si *toot* pero may tendency yang alipinin ka sa planning. buong legwork iyo." okay.

:: di pa babalik si teng. magsisimula na tourney sa july 6, wala pa akong coach. *sigh with matching tears from the left eye lang*

:: umatake na naman ang pagka-inggitera ko. hindi ko na matanggal ang paningin ko sa XDA ni rene. si mark daw bibili din. sige, magbilihan kayong lahat. pag marami na ang may XDA, magmumura na yan sa market. yehey.

:: dalawang press releases, flowchart revisions, 3 sulat sa senador, 2 sa DFA, 2 sa DILG, 2 sa US senators, 17 revocation, 3 fingerprint memo, 4 na call-in, website revisions, call-out tracking ng cable, 1 pending meeting sa hsbc, 2 advisory opinion, 4 na send-off cards...and to think na biyernes na bukas. naturalmente, sa lunes na matatapos ang iba sa mga backlog na ito.

:: snickers almond bar. hindi nga nag-hapunan, umubos naman ng isang bar. engot.

:: "I want to thank you for being with me, for spending this last several months over the year with me, taking time to discover each other, because in the end that’s all anybody can really ask for..."

:: naisip ko kung ano kaya ang paboritong pelikula ni mr. palengke? hehe, sabi ko, siguro, TINIMBANG KA NGUNIT KULANG. mwahahahaha!!!

TINATAMAD PART 2

i don't feel like blogging.

i had a fight with mom over this computer and my alleged overuse of it. *rolls eyes* i bought this whole thing to do what i want, which is to surf and chat all i want during my free time. it may be surprising to find me still chatting at 4 am but at least--i'm inside the house! it's not as if the morning greeted me at this bar or at this strange place away from home. duh, i'm at home! but a mom will always be a mom. i am planning to do it every weekend so she'll get used to it. if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen (nyahaha, tama ba yun?). brat na bata na ako ah...hmmm...bad, bad, bad.

i just finished my promise to my online buddies. hope they'll like it. (hmmm..curious ba kayo?)

i bought yet another book. it's drowning ruth by christina schwarz.

tomorrow: lunch courtesy of vivian. merienda for mr. rowan and anita's despedida, which we paid P315 for each. hmph.

thursday: treat tita gigi and paul to lunch. missed their going-away party in manila pen...because i had a fight with mom and it was not in the unwritten rule for me to be allowed to step out of the house during moments like that.

friday: chelli's last day. another going-away treat...she's planning to treat us to italianni's due to erwin's prodding but we actually plan to have it for lunch courtesy of aling nene's. hmm..hope chelli doen't read this till friday.

food. it makes my world go round. it makes me finish one blog entry just like that.
