I'm moving...

... or at least my blog is. I've been with blogger for the last six (6) years (yes, six darn freaking years!) and in line with the CHANGES in my [working] life these days, I thought I would celebrate with the birth (or re-birth?) of a new blog page, and this time, with Wordpress.

I've exported all my entries in this blog to my new address: www.mylifeispretty.wordpress.com and I'm still in the process of improving the whole look. (my Photoshop skills is being challenged big time... whew!)

So my dear friends, see you at wordpress! =)

FANMODE: Fab videos

I haven't visited Youtube for quite some time, and when I did (really enjoying how fairly fast Skybroadband's 2Mbps is), I found some really amusing videos. Here are some of them:

Great and inspirational song from Matisyahu

Lourd de Veyra's take on the jejemons...

I've been jobless (for a weekend) but not anymore...

A week has gone since I became officially jobless and officially working again and it's been, well, different. After spending seven years of my working life enclosed in a cubicle or out in the field, scooping for stories I would write, I am at home, in my room, fighting the urge to turn on the tv and just lounge on my bed to actually work. I am getting used to this set-up and I think I will be getting the hang of things very soon.

With my new job, I don't have to report to an office for a period of time. I don't have to wake up very early to fix myself... no wardrobe-staring for an hour to choose what I would be wearing for the day or fight with my hair. I don't need to see people I don't want to see or (smell) unwanted (smell) for that matter.

But truth be told, I am also missing things (and people) that I thought I wouldn't. I miss my baby-cockroaches-infested cubicle, Claudette's kitchen where i first tried an extremely good white lasagna (and huge servings too!), manang who sells us lunch, and of course, the friends we left behind.

It's been a week and so far, it's been good. While we still have a lot of time to ourselves these days because we're just starting, I anticipate that things will be tough sooner but for now, I'll be -- as morbid-sounding as it seems -- resting in peace. =)

Alone-ness at Bo's interrupted by an annoying kid

Bo's Coffee is one of my most favorite places when I like to think or just lounge while drinking my freeze - especially their Oreo Freeze original. And so, here I am on a Monday night with my laptop, mobile phone, and iPod for companions. I'm waiting for my sister who's getting off from work at 8pm. (I still have to wait for 30 minutes!)

Thank God for earphones because one of the things I can't take is a noisy place - one with a loud-mouthed b**ch who can't seem to keep her mouth shut and an annoying kid running around and doing all sorts of annoying stuffs. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE kids. I adore them too much that sometimes when I am looking at one, I am finding myself battling the urge to scoop one in my arms and take him/her home. (just kiddin')

But this one particularly annoying little bundle of misery is destroying my peace. He looked like he's on 'E' or something or drank a whole box of redbull. I know it's absurd to think this way of a little kid but what annoys me the most is that the parent (the mom) doesn't seem to care at all. She just lets the little devil wreak havoc. (Almost hit me with a chain he was trying to swirl around his head.. grr)

Anyway, the little bugger was gone so I had my peace back.

***

On a positive note, today was my first day at "work" and I am loving it so far. I didn't have to get up very early and I didn't have to stay very late... yet. We're just starting so I think a lot of changes will happen soon. But I don't wanna pre-empt and bury myself in misery prematurely... not that I want to of course, but hey, it cushions the blow a little when you're emotionally prepared if you know what I mean.

i'm just so glad to be out in the rut. Technically, I'm still having a taste of hell in the next few weeks as I still have to come back for some unfinished business but I guess I have to move on already and stop invoking negative vibes whenever I think about it; it's just not healthy and it's just not me. See the monster that they created? This makes me sad actually...

Oh well, I gotta snap out of it because there's a lot of things to be busy with in the next few days. I think I'll also have a taste of how it is to produce and be an editor for a small cable t.v. show... wish me luck! =)
