It's 11:00 pm, tired as hell, barely ate anything and I can't sleep.
I'm starting my new job tomorrow and I have this feeling of uncertainty. Unfinished business at the old job? Yes. I did not plan on leaving at all so there are a lot of loose ends. Nothing that can't be managed but this new chapter in my life is still making me anxious.

So here I am, blogging, Harry Potter style -- in the dark, under the blanket, my phone as my wand using Lumos.
I've been using LOL too much even when there's nothing funny with what I'm saying. An annoying habit that I need to break. And speaking of which, people tend to #hashtag #every #word #they #write. First of all, if it's not on Twitter, it wouldn't work. Secondly, anyone doing it would just look stupid. Why? Because whatever they hashtag is not really a topic. It seems to me like it's just a way either getting attention or trying to feel important.

I've been thinking to update my posts for quite a while, but now I'm actually doig it. So here goes.
I don't usually read my own journals or blogs but when I do, I surprise my self. I think I would be friends with me if there was another me because I seem to be quirky. I can tell that I was serious and have been feeling with raw emotions when I'm being cryptic. Looking back, I don't even know what the heck I'm talking about. It's both fun and annoying guessing what happened on a certain occassion.
It feels good doing this again. I feel loads better without having to write anything cryptic. :-)

One of the things that I'm always looking forward to during the beginning of the week is reading other people's secrets at PostSecret. But today, as much as I'm excited to read it, I can't really appreciate it because of my own secret. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it and trying to keep it all inside me.

It must be full moon.... I've been working for two years at the office and whenever I talk to one of the store managers, Mike, it's always very short and sweet, it's like he's always in a hurry. But today, he called the office for some info that he needed for follow through and we ended up talking for about 20 minutes about the nudist beach that he discovered somewhere in Santa Cruz. He's a cool guy.
Ok I admit that I had a crush on him the first time that I saw him, he's a handsome white boy with nice green eyes. My dreams were shattered when I found out that he's engaged to one of my staff members so I just forgot all about it. Then they separated a year after getting married.... yay for me!
Two weeks ago, my semi-boss gave me a project. I had to look for a Hilton affiliated hotel somewhere in Los Gatos for his boss that's going to be visiting the Bay Area. So I called Mike to help me and he found this very nice but pricey Toll House hotel. We checked out the amenities and joked that we deserved it more than out boss's boss.
And that project actually gave us something to talk about. I was stressing at work before he called me but the conversation that we have this afternoon was better than a dose of Vicodin.
Now, now, I need a new layout for my blog because I'm getting tired of this multi-colored page.

Lately I've been experimenting on my diet because obviously, I'm not on a healthy one. I used to have breakfast while I'm working but since things started to get busy I would lose my apetite even for lunch. That would leave me starving by dinner, which I would do right away when I get home and be stuck at the couch after that and fall asleep.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so yesterday when I was 40 minutes early to work, I had a big one knowing I'm going to be so busy, I won't stop for a lunch break. I had an The Masterpiece from Baywatch, it's an omelette with sausage, bacon and tomato with sourcream, fried potatoes and French toast with butter. Needless to say, I was so full that I only had a few spoonfulls of Cap N' Crunch for lunch.
I forgot to mention that I had a minor headache when I woke up and it comes and goes so I just ignored it but I couldn't bear it any longer so I took my pain medication. I felt better for 2 hours and felt worse by 3:00 PM, I was dizzy and nauseus and then got better again.
My mom and my brother picked me up from work because it's mom's birthday and we went home to pick-up my dad. They already know that I'm not feeling well but my brother didn't eat the whole day so we left after 15 minutes of being at home. I was getting worse by the minute and I couldn't hold it any longer so I gagged at the car.
I felt better after that but I feel this lump on my throat like there's some more left and I was trying so hard to let it all out but my brother being an expert on gagging said that I wouldn't be able to do it and it just goes away after some time.
Mom suggested that I must eat a lot and take my meds right away because I haven't been taking them on time which is probably one of the reasons that I was getting sick. I ordered green shelled mussels - my favorite. It was so good but the thing on my throat was getting worse so I couldn't really enjoy the later part of my dinner. I ended up giving my mussels to mom and that's the end of dinner.
I say Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when we got home and my brother stil watched it with me even if he was sick of it (we watched it twice in a row last week) so we changed the channel after my favorite parts... and I fell asleep....

I never would have imagined that I would like Harry Potter this much. I've seen the movies and all but I wasn't really into reading it.
It all started when I was on my freshman year in college. The first movie was out and people went ga-ga on the books. I was curious but after seeing the price tag, I was thinking that the people from the book store were crazy! Charging us books that expensive! I would rather buy me some new clothes or a week's worth of food before I'll get the book. Besides, I only read Anne Rice back then.
All I was interested at reading was all about vampires. If the book was about witches, maybe I'll browse on it. If it was about plain humans, I wouldn't even give it a second look.
On that same year, along came Paulo Coelho. One of my best friends was talking about how his stories make you want to cry and enriching for the soul it was so I wanted to give it a shot. Friend #2 borrowed it and when she was done, I wanted to read it too but bestfriend is afraid that when her mom looks for it and it's not there, she would freak out because back in the Philippines, those kind of books are rare and needless to say, it's expensive. So I was kinda' pissed because Friend #2 was able to read it and I wasn't.
Then I got here in America. Found a job and was finally able to buy the things that I wanted. There was even a time when Angel and I were at Barnes & Noble and I can't decide which Coelho novel to buy so he got them both.
Anyhow, I wasn't solely a vampire reader. I would turn to Coelho when I need some inspiration and a fuzzy feeling inside. But something else was still missing. I wanted to read something light-hearted and not too serious. That's when I was introduced to chic lit.
The new horizon of authors and novels were great. I am transported to a different world and becoming a different person when I'm reading. This resulted to my befriending one of my store managers. He would send me unimaginable number of good books. Eventually, he told me that he used to read the Harry Potter series to his daughter when she was a little girl and they were more than happy to give the whole set to moi. That brings us to now. Everyone is telling me to read it from the beginning and that it's so much better than the movies. And they're right.
Life gets tough every now and then and my quick escape is Harry Potter. Even if the dark lord is after him and his life is constantly in danger, I can't help but think it's easier to be them. They can fix any problem with a spell. They can fly in brooms, moving photos, make charms and jinx, and those charming Weasley twins.....

I am known for being clumsy, messy and doing things just half way. So if I am doing things perfectly and have minimal damage, that means I'm not fine. That means I am trying to run away from something, I want to get away from something. Not finishing what I sttarted. That's what I'm know for.
I've been doing very good a work and everyone noticed. I am becoming addicted to my job. I don't want to go anywhere because I can control most of the things at the office. I talk and someone listens, I say what I want and they do it. I thought I'm a better person because of my work. But at the end of the day,there are still some things that I have to deal with. And that's when I want to cry. But someone taught me not to and suck it up. So this is me crying... boo-fucking-hoo.

We all have days when we feel like dressing up or down. In my case, I have more days when I'm more comfortable dressed down. Like this morning, just my usual black Monday pants, a white tank top, no make-up, my hair loosely tied under the hoodie of my brother's comfortable Gray sweater, my flowery laptop bag and a coffee on my right hand.

I'm considered a newbie even if I've ben working here at the office for almost 2 years. Now, there's a new assistant and needless to say, I lost my title... =( I don't have an excuse to be dumb or make mistakes anymore because they're also expecting me to sort of guide Barb with stuff. She's ok, nice and sweet ol' lady. I hope she stays that way... =)

After living in our roomy apartment for more than a year, I guess it's time to move on. I told my mom that even if the building and our neighbors suck, I still feel kind of sad. Not because of the place but just the feeling of moving and realizing that we don't have a permanent home that we can call our own.
When I was growing up, we only moved twice. The first one was a house that my dad bought. We were there for 8 years and had to move to my granny's house which is only a block away because my mom is working here in the U.S and we needed a motherly figure at that time. That move was good in a way because from living on a 2 bedroom house, we were living on a 4 bedroom, 2-story house. We were there for about 5 years until we moved here. And so far, we've been on 2 apartments in 2 years. =(
