Raindrops August 9, 2007

It’s been raining non-stop for 3 days now and I’m feeling so happy! I know it’s kinda mean because a lot of people are commuting while I’m in the comfort of my car driving to & from work but I can’t help it! I love it when it’s raining (”,) And for the first time, since the cold months of December-February, I’m using a blanket again. Hehe it’s that hot here. I’m even using the water heater now when I’m taking a bath/shower.

 

Yesterday morning, after shift, SO & I ate at Chowking (Chinese fast food resto) and had congee. Yummm, perfect for the rainy weather. We also had a side order of tofu.

 

My interview with IBM was supposed to be yesterday afternoon (6pm) but when I woke up at around 3pm, I texted my contact to confirm the interview since it was really pouring down yesterday. She (Mapet) said that Sherwin (the interviewer) will just do a phone interview if I didn’t mind — of course not! Haha I wouldn’t be as nervous as I would be in person. But eventually Mapet forwarded my number to Sherwin and I ended up exchanging text messages with Sherwin and he eventually asked me when I was free because we’ll just reschedule the interview and I just told him Friday. Then he confirmed and just told me everything would be the same (time, place, etc) just that the date was moved. So there, I slept again after the message exchanges and woke up in time for work.

 

Something happened to my phone over the weekend. For some weird reason I can’t hear anything (& I can’t be heard either) when I answer calls. It happened last Saturday but what’s weird is I never dropped the phone yet. Example, you call me and I answer the phone - we can’t hear each other. When I make the call and you answer it, I can hear you but you still can’t hear me. Now, even if you call me I can already hear you but I still can’t be heard. Arrgh. At least that’s one reason for buying my P990i, hehe but I’m thinking of the re-sell value of course. Might have it fixed over the weekend just in time for it’s last week with me, teehee! It’s payday already next week and next weekend I’m gonna get my P990i baby! Haha! (”,) I’m having these weird thoughts lately that I will not have enough salary to buy the P990i and I can seriously see myself crying! I’m just hoping & keeping my fingers (and toes!) crossed that I’ll get enough — enough to buy a phone and enough to sustain me until the next payday. Plus, I’ll have to buy my ticket already. Ugh.

 

That’s it, pansit! Hehe I just hope the weather stays cool. (”,)

A day with my Crushee (aka SO) August 5, 2007

After shift Friday night, SO and I went home at their house and took a nap there. Left the house around 2:45pm to go to Ateneo because the whole BPO community at work had a soccer thing going on. When we arrived there, there were players wearing jerseys with the name of the company but we didn’t recognize anyone; they might be from other sites/offices. Instead of heading back home — we didn’t have anything to do anyway — we just stayed there and watch them practice. There was even an actual game being played on the other field; so we just watched both teams alternately. After Ateneo, we headed to Timog Ave - to Kalentong actually to eat at Snackaroo. It’s a small eatery with yummy steaks for a really cheap price. I had the Porterhouse, while SO had a T-Bone - I liked the T-Bone better but we shared both steaks so no biggie.

A friend of ours lives in the area so we texted them to tell them we were in Snackaroo but when he replied we were already done eating. I think our friend and his girlfriend wanted to follow and eat there also. Anyway, we just decided to meet up at Shangri-La mall. When SO and I got to Shangri-La we just went around and window shopped. I, as usual, tried on a lot of shoes. We even had the gall to enter stores like Nine West, Colehaan, Ralph Lauren, etc, hehehe. I liked a super nice pair of shoes at one of the shops that we went in to - too expensive so I just killed the wish of owning the pair away. =P After walking around the mall waiting for our couple friend to arrive, we had coffee at Starbucks and just stayed there & smoke.

After Shangri-La, we met up with another couple at Menu in Metrowalk and had a couple of rounds of beer. I, on the other hand, just had one and a Coke Light, hehe. I’m not really a beer drinker and SO & I wouldn’t shell out a hundred or so bucks for a poorly mixed margarita so I just settled for that one bottle and a Coke Light.

We planned on going to Batangas on the 18th to the 20th - I will file my vacation leave as early as Monday (August 06), just to be sure. They weren’t even finished drinking yet when SO & I decided to go ahead. First, he was really sleepy already because he wasn’t able to sleep straight this afternoon and 2nd, I was getting sleepy myself and I still had to drive home.

So there, nothing really grand happened this Saturday, I’m just so happy that SO and I spent a whole day together and we were both just laughing the whooole day, hihi. Then today being our 3rd year and 1st month anniversary is a plus! (”,)
