change(?)

Lately I've been thinking about finally, finally cutting my now butt-length hair. Dunno when though. Probably not in the coming days or weeks, but I'll definitely get around to it sometime before the years ends. Haha. Anywho, I've also been thinking of having it done in loose waves. Something like this:


I can actually get my hair to look like this temporarily, after it has been in a bun or braid for most of the day. But then it falls back down to its natural straight style after a few minutes, which is a bummer. Anywho, my hair looks like this when wavy:

So, what do you think?

more energy, mas happy! XD

Just discovering that I have large untapped reserves of energy. How so? For starters, I've been working for nine days straight now. Barring any illnesses or untoward incidents, I'll probably be working for thirteen days straight until Saturday. And I still work out every lunch on top of that.

Saturday night I went out with a coupla girlfriends from work. The first time I ever had a "nightlife" gimmick ever, mind. Danced away into the wee hours of the morning even though I was scheduled for work on Sunday. Haha. Was bangag as expected when I showed up for work. But an hour or so of resting at the clinic and I was well enough again to avoid being sent home by the company nurse.

Up to now I still haven't had any decent rest to speak of. I'm not exactly running on fumes, but functioning well enough to wonder where I'm getting all this energy. I'm not even taking any vitamins or supplements. Interesting.

gym rat?

Been hitting the gym at lunch for two days now. Planning to continue on until my waistline is reduced or I lose interest in the endeavor, whichever comes first. The former, hopefully. Haha. At least it's not as tedious as it sounds since all of us working out are friends one way or another.

Wish me luck on the waistline-reduction project now, will ya? ^_^

just happy, even if i have a tummyache that won't quit

So. After some days without communication, we finally had a decent conversation again earlier today. And yeah, I'm really really chuffed about it. Goddamn, I really miss the guy. I absolutely cannot wait for November, even if he'll be here only for days. Yes, days, not even weeks. But hell, that's still much much better than him not coming back at all. Haha. I soooooo love that guy. Ever reminds of my fave line in Incubus's song I Miss You:

"to know that you feel the same as i do is a three-fold utopian dream.."

Yeah, cheesy, I know. But what the hell, who isn't when madly in love? XD

Anywho, my tummy's been upset for several days now. Don't ask me why because I have no idea. I'm not eating anything out of ordinary, just the usual grub I have during mealtimes. I'm cutting back on food starting tomorrow, but only until my stomach settles. Goodness knows how long I'll last without real food.

Sunday work(?)

So. Working on a Sunday is not as bad as I thought it would be. Aside from missing out on badly needed sleep and time for an overdue project, I actually had an okay time. If the atmosphere on a Saturday is quite relaxed compared to regular working days, then Sunday is positively lethargic. There's no work pressure on the operators and over-break is a concept not particularly applicable on this day. I have been sitting here in front of the PC for the better part of the day, idly surfing the net and listening to music. Likewise my supervisor is playing Battle Realms: Winter of the Wolf on the other PC. And yeah, we all get paid extra for all of it.

Truth is I don't even know why I got scheduled for work today. Only one part number is running and aside from the looming delivery date and a few minor niggles, there's really no need for me here especially with our supervisor present. But I got scheduled for the full twelve-hour shift anyway. So there you go.

Oh, and I'm the only girl present in our section today. Well technically, there's another but she's a dyke so I guess that doesn't count. So I'm just one of the boys again today, down to the baggy six-pocket pants I'm wearing. We shared delicious hot goto and rice on our afternoon break. Kinda reminds me of the Ellfaw, my [mostly male] college barkada.

first time

Just found out that I have work tomorrow and Sunday. And those are 12-hour shifts to boot. Geez. There really is no rest for the wicked.

Anywho, I haven't been active this past week because of a huge problem that came up. I can't divulge the details just yet, but hopefully I could before the weekend ends (redundant much?). I'll be here at work so I might as well make the most of the free online connection. Haha.

So there. All I could say right now about that problem is that it brought me closer to my parents. They are simply the best, bar none. =]

catatonic

God, I need a miracle right now. I need a new laptop, to save my mental well-being if nothing else. Damn, I hate this desperate feeling. It makes me sick. But what can I do? Help!

T_T

"How come everything I think I need always comes with batteries?"

Again, quoting John Mayer in Something's Missing.

This is getting damn depressing. My spirit's sinking with every passing day that I do not have a functioning computer to my name. I feel lost somehow, like a small boat set adrift on the deep, wide ocean. Geez. Something must be seriously wrong with me to be so affected by such things.

Whatever happened to the saying that you cannot buy happiness?

o.O

goodbye, dear friend. you'll be sorely missed.

Okay, it's absolute and irrevocably final: my laptop is history. My good mother brought it to the Acer service center yesterday and the initial diagnosis wasn't good: the innards are practically fried. Just confirmed it today, there's nothing more we can do.

Half my stuff are gonna be lost. Photographs from February of this year up to now. Ouch.

Strangely, I feel detached. Like I'm just watching a movie and it's not happening to me. A defense mechanism, I guess.

I dunno when I'll be able to replace it. Or if I ever can or will. Maybe in a year or so? I want a Mac this time [hell, anyone can dream, sue me] but good luck to me. Geez.
