Little Journeys of my life

should be an entry yesterday night but I was in the mall, shopping and watching movie...so here is it instead of yesterday...


What a subject right? Yeah...that is a new thing...almost a month
already
since I started working, and boy, did everything change. Hum...it
follows
that I am a passionate, frustrated writer, that is why I am even
bothering
to write. Okay--that was an excuse...I'm so bored right now, here at
the
office (time: 11:50am, near lunch-stomach growling!) sitting on this
computer that has no access to the internet and no other ways of
entertaining myself, but just to write this and post this late (which
will
be when I get home!)

So what is up?Haha...1 month...and yes, for those who are awaiting my

libre , I already got my salary..and the f***king government took
my
almost 30% of my salary...darn them! (I'm not being selfish, here is my
justification on why: I would be glad to give them that tax deduction
if
they are doing what they should have been doing...but they are SO NOT!)
So
sad to tell you this, but really I can't libre anyone right
now. I am saving half my money for my future purposes and that will
leave
me more or less something for my daily life necessity (food, clothing,
kikays!) don't ask for my transportation - I waived it through my dad
(see
imagine how needy I am?) anyways, experience is the thing I needed the
most that is why I took the job, I am not intending to stay here
forever,
or for that long...I want to be an entrepeneur, someone who can provide
herself and at the same time enjoy the lavish life.

So I wake up, pretty much early to be able to cope with the stress of
the
crowded city...then I walked into the office, open my computer - wait
for
a little bit bec the computer is so damn slow ('kopong kopong' for the
filipino readers). Then do daily transactions, in between, I go up and
down the building to do some stuff...then to the rest room, because
sometimes it is freaking cold in the office. Then sometimes eat food --
I
buy at jolly jeep...yes not Jolibbee...but JOLLY JEEP..the one that is
with a mini van, with loads of affordable, inexpensive stuff. For those
who can't imagine...it is like an ice cream truck in the USA. Got it?
Good! Then there is a 'Mini-Stop', the one that is like the popular,
'7-11' where I love the ice cream (too bad the promo just ended) but it
was good while it lasts. Okay, back to the main point...so after
work...I
ride the, no...I walk!!! Through 4 big malls!! From end to end...then,
ride the MRT. Which is the public transportation...hum..it was
definitely
CROWDED the whole way!! People are cramming and jam-packed...with
sweaty,
smelly, icky, strange, weird, strangers.

Let me describe just the people that I am describing:

Smelly and sweaty -- have they even heard about colognes? or perfumes?
There are lots of those products that are affordable and cheap..please
be
considerate with other people who either stood or sit beside you.

Icky - Those people who talk so loud as if there is no one in front of
them, or when there saliva fly like a free democratic country!So icky!!

Strange - people who looks so weird and dress like they own the MRT...I
mean, haven't they heard of Queer Eye? for whatever gender and sex you
are? I am not suggesting the total make-over -- just the right one!
Don't
dress like you are going to a prom when you are riding the MRT (so
inapproriate!) and please also dress presentable, not like your a trash
taker!

Weird - people who looks at you...hello! What is wrong with me? I don't
really like it when people stare, it is so awkward...as if something is
wrong with you. Eww...

Strangers - hum...like everyone? Nah..some are nice...but then some are
what I describe above..

Okay, back from lunch...it was fun because every friday, I go and meet
my
old friends from college...yup, now that we are all working it is of
course, needed to still have social time together. I love Friday's...it
is
the last day of work, the time to chow down and well, time to waste
money
on good food!

So there...quite long entry...but who can blame me? I'm so idle right
now..I want to burst!

Ugh...I hate them...

No,
I'm not saying just the police,
or government,
but people around us.
At work especially.


The good thing about having a blog, that only friends know, is that you can talk and trash people you hate and those you have some kind of hindrance! Like at work. No, I am not mad at someone...I am just simply irritated by people.

Why?

Hum...why do we need authorities to tell us stuff that I know sometimes are right, but sometimes...they are just violating your human rights. Well, if you (i'm pertaining to people too) don't think they are violating yours, then I guess you are not HUMAN?

Man is born with freewill. And they should die as a freeman. ---Unless you are proven guilty and killed someone. But other than that, you are free, to speech, to walk, to strut, and to argue, to make a point.

I learn this at work..and it is still true, you need to please people even though you don't want to. Believe me, in my office days? You have too...because this is where you depend your life and salary on. Yes, even to the point of backbiting someone (now, I don't go that far, but some of our officers do) funny right? When they should set a sample, they SET ONE! One that surely would be positive? I don't think so.

Why do I feel so strong about this? Well, because one of the victim is my friend. She was called 'childlish', and you know the first impression will last phrase? Bulls**** (ooppsss...) well, they themselves should first look at theirselves if they are not acting childlish at times!! Hum....I think they are even acting more childlish everyday...

Enough already...I think I had it with hating people...blech!

Vin Diesel once again hit the big screen and once again impressed me! This time in a comedic way...it was a nice new break for him because gone was the Vin Diesel I know that is made for the action screen--- in the Pacifier you'll definitely see the lighter, cuti-sh side of Vin Diesel.

I love the codes names-- especially 'red baby'! and you'll defintely be amazes at how the Nanny aka 'red leader' looks like 'The Undertaker' believe me! She looks like him...haha...




*Oh...for those that are like, following the FASH-aholic mania (if there is any!) haha....FASH-REVIEW is now available here at tabulas!! So go check it out...or better yet, add it as your friends and be on the juiciest ever! (site is still on construction though...so bear with me!)

Okay...hold up and be ready for some criticism! Yup...I finally got a website up for your juiciest news and very interesting articles, up on your sleeves!

Where else?


HTTP://CITIZENGAL.BLOGSPOT.COM

Interesting stuff out there...check it out! Guaranteed satifsfaction...oh...add me to your favorites if you mush....must!

Such a strong word. For me...it is really something that one will
decide
eventually in their life. I mean, no one could escape that
word
or that thought of it. It is really something that we should take
seriously.

Example, now that I am working (yes, it is about my work again!) I'm on
the verge of quitting, but of course, not yet , but
definitely soon...because I am not planning to stay here forever! that
is
just not so me. I will never ever imagine myself staying in the banking
business! Excuse me, I got better plans than this one!

hum..so right now, I'm just absorbing and getting the experience but
definitely one day, I'll RESIGNED. Now, for me, it would be soon...but
my
friend? hum...it seems like someone is budding to quit sooner than I
thought. Why? I guess, the environment, especially the people
around...don't they know how hard it is to work when people are saying
nasty stuff about you? Both behind your back and in-front of your face!
My
gawd! I feel bad for my friend...she feels like she is loosing her
confindence everyday...slowly...but defintely draining down the
drain...hum..I don't want that...not with me! I don't want to be bitch
around...I am a well educated person, but once people try to step on
me? I
will not...I shall not give in! I am not a quitter, but then, I don't
want
people to talk to dirt! I will fight back...I will not yield!

It's funny how life will lead you to the path of resignation. One day,
you
are sitting around and wanting to move and get a job, another, you
wanted
to wanted to quit and resign. How fascinating - duh!

Just got home...but not complaining!! In a little while, I'll be out again...I just finish SHOPPING! And truly it is a major relief from my daily stressful life.

What I bought does not matter, since I'm loving every piece! I bought pants that looks like it came from MANGO! So as the buddha beads that are really a catch at P150 each. (they gave me the wrong price, but since it was already said, I ended up with that price - it was supposed to be around 250!) haha...

Hum..I bought three tops (2 for business purposes), two different type of jackets...a shoe, 3 bags, a make-up bag (yeah that too) No wallet for the moment since I'm planning on buying the one in MANGO ( I was made to have it!)

Ate a lot too! STEAK STEAK STEAK!!!

And we're eating out tonight too..haha..I'm a damn huge pig...tomorrow, CHILDREN's party!! So excited, I love going to parties, even though they are not those type that you can mingle with group your age, but seeing the sight, the birthday proper, the way it was made, is such an experience! I love it!! I'm pretty excited!

The mean people! I hate and love this day....

Hate? Ugh.... gusto kong sakalin yung isang tao sa office!

Love? Body shop was on sale! Exclusive, special sale! For the benefit of women who are abused...it was very effective, the food was great (free and from BIZU- which caters good pastries!), the products have discounts, the liquid cheek tint was on the 'buy one take one' promo. It was fun...although I have to wait for so long...the line was like a concert/promo line!

Anyways, I'm so exhausted, i think my feet is giving up on me....

Thinking of something useful or memorable to write....but then , I really have nothing to tell. Except that I ate the whole weekend.

I bought my family pizza (as promise) and we ate Ice Monster yesterday afternoon. Then today, I was so stuff because we ate buffet, Japanese (my fave!)

My new resolution and it will start tomorrow! I need to loose weight! I swear I need to, this December we're going to some place where I need to flaunt my body! So I have to prepare!

Work again tomorrow----ugh......is there anything new in this life? I'm getting tired already!!

I feel for all people that are working ( okay here she goes again with her work!) but don't mind me, or better yet -- mind me and read this!

I feel so sad and hopeless for people (particularly a friend) who aims and is satisfied from what the other person is saying. I can't really tell the complete story as it might be read by that same person but here is a shorter, my easy-to-read version. I was clearly stating and telling her that all the benefits that I am receiving or that an employee might receive is not enough, and yes, I kept on complaining (of course, only to her!) I kept on sayin how it is so konti
or not enough...FRANKLY, it isn't enough. You know what she said to me? "you know joanna, for you it might not be enough, but for some, it is enough".
Yeah, I might be unsatisfied because I am not that unfortunate...but ask anyone who has a simple life, or live on a simple atmposphere, I could definitely guarantee to you that they will tell you it isn't ENOUGH. why? well, all the things are going up right now, price too! I just couldn't not barely imagine --- except that it has happened already -- that the once 15 per liter gas is not at its double rate 30/liter. how cruel! If people are satisfied, why still have the labor union? Why do we still need to pay this thing, if we are not dissatisfied? You know what I want to tell my friend? Girl, you got to think...think hard, think first, research, know people before saying that for some it is enough---because in life? Simple living or not, it is never enough." Plus, at the rate that the Philippines economy is going? It is surely NOT ENOUGH. Reality check!!! We are one of the poorest country. I guess one part is that, people are already at its lowest, they get to be paid at the lowest point. Ugh...

they dont argue and just accept and tell that they are satisfied when deep down they are not. Come on, we need to voice out! We need to let them hear our needs.......

I feel sorry for my friend because she is satisfied with what already she is receiving which is beyond her lowest point...I know in life we should be satisfied, but please BE SATISFIED WITH THE RIGHT SATISFACTION. Don't pretend you are satisfied if you are not, because that is just worser than admitting you are satisfied even if you are not. PEOPLE SHOULD BE TRUE, IF ONLY WE ARE TRUE, THEN DEFINITELY THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE -- AND WELL, TO EARN!

It has been so quick this week. I had my whole week of orientation with new friends! It was a blast...something to remember..forever!
And of course, we took pictures (post later), exchange emails- numbers, add in our friendster accounts, ate out and really bonded!

I guess Friendster is creating their own blog, but expect me not to use it. I'm much happy and contented here at tabulas, plus I don't want ALL those people who knows me read my blog! AS IF!

Anyways, I am waiting for PAMELA's promise (the earrings or necklace- whatever it is!) , wanted to hear about Cherry's mini-adventure to Puerto.

Anyone has been to Malaysia? Can you tell me your shopping and culture experience? Help please! thanks...

work again tomorrow...ugh....

I've seen the Ring of niblelungs yesterday at Rockwell, it was okay, but of course , not as pretty as LOTR. Hum... now I know why it was focus on the ring and inspired Tolkien in that way. The ending was sad. A more on the romance side rather than the action one. More sad dramatic scene than the LOTR, and of course, once again, it was all about GREED, oh-- some magic was there....

I swear I'm going to stop SHOPPING.
I will stop.
Right now.

My sister and I went to Le Pavillion at Roxas Blvd. today, and by gawd! Did we went there to shop. Thanks to my friend's boss who gave them complimentary tickets then gave it to me. I want to thank them too, for if not for them, I wouldn't be able to buy my things right now.

There are alot of export crafts made here in the Philippines that are really good, unfortunately almost all of them are sold only to the other neighboring or even far-far countries. Well, the theme of the bazaar was more on the 'export-overrun' part or the 'export-only' products and everything was so nice, and may I add - cheap!

I bought 4 jackets (3 coats - for work!), 4 shirts (all branded but cheap!), 2 skirts, underwears, necklaces, earrings, and so much more...and I am really BANKCRUPT! amazingly true -- my wallet is now, zippo---zero! haha...I'm happy and sad...but hey in shopping everybody should be happy, after all, it is my life's theraphy!

Here are some of the lovely necklaces I bought..it was all for EXPORT and very CHEAP...I LOVE IT!

 


 


 


 





Oh, I also bought lots of new earrings...but enough about the pictures...I'm just really so happy with the things I bought...I love everything...and

I'm thinking of going back there tomorrow...
wish me luck...
like totally contrary to what I said earlier...
damn!
