* I am still suffering from post-traumatic stress and paranoia. It feels terrible having to be suspicious of every guy who rides the FX with me. (Yes, I'm being sexist... Haha.) I am over the initial shock, after spending enough time wallowing in my newfound fears, but I can never feel as secure and as safe as I felt before 'the incident'. I wasn't exactly fearless then, but I had this inner confidence that I was untouchable, immune and invincible. Things like these happen OTHER people... yes, I hear countless stories about snatchers, muggers and whatnot. But I never believed it could actually happen to ME. Now you might say I'm being overly dramatic, but the experience really shook me up. The cellphone doesn't really matter. I just need to know I, and all my loved ones, can still find a place to feel safe in.
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You'll be safe here...
* It's fun seeing people on the way to, or coming from work. I saw Makaw in Glorietta last Wednesday, Kristel in the MRT the next day, and Prach in the LRT2 and MRT the day after that. But it also reminds me that we're all getting so old... :( I haven't made much of my teenage years yet, and here I am, lost in the faceless crowd of harassed-looking people in corporate attire. Ugh, the madness!
* Work is sooooooo boring. We dug into our officemates' "recreational" files such as quizzes in Excel sheets, the River IQ game, and anything that could help as pass the time. Yep, we're the "Pinoy Idles" at work. :P Lately, we've been reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki. It's not so bad at first, kinda interesting even. But as the clock ticks oh so slowly before 5:30pm you just can't help but feel dizzy with all the talk about assets, liabilities, financial intelligence, chuchuchuchuchu..!
* I use Smart's AM/FM thingy giveaway at work to keep myself from slumping on the floor and falling asleep. Sometimes the conversations of the DJs are so hilarious it's hard to keep myself from laughing out loud! :P Anyway, I hear some songs over and over and they're really not so bad...

Sana'y di mo na lang sinabi,
Hindi ko naman tinatanong
Na kailangan mo pang isipin
Ok lang naman sa akin yon.
Ako'y maghihintay na lamang sa iyo,
Basta't wag lang, lumampas ng isang linggo
Dahil di pa naman ita ganun kamahal.
Kakakilala ko lang sa iyo.
Malay ko ba kung sasaktan/gagamitin mo lang ako.
Di pa naman kita ganun kamahal
Galing lang ako sa hiwalayan/iyakan
Sayang naman kung di mo ko pagbibigyan/
Sobra naman pag masaktan muli ako.
Sana'y di mo na lang sinabi
Na meron ka nang pagtingin
Dahil di pa ko ready na buksan muli ang puso ko
Maghintay ka lang,
Nandito lang naman ako.
Konting panahon pa...
Para makapagisip ako...
Wag na nating labanan pa ang ating nadarama
Bahala na kung saan tayo mapunta!
* Unforgettable moment: Zippy asking with childlike wonder in his eyes, "Talaga, malamig ang pakwan? Pagsinaklob mo sa ulo?"
* Some people are sooooo lucky! There was this little girl singing along the videoke at a party we attended last weekend, and she had such a grrreat voice! Kuhang-kuha ang kanta! I feel so insecure. :( Haha.
* Nina, Kitchie Nadal, MYMP, Kyla, Velcro, Rivermaya, Sugarfree... I likey! Gimme CDs! :P
* I didn't know the word "proactive" has such an interesting background... :P Ginamit lang naman kasi nung supervisor ni Cheena. Hrmmm?
* Even in OJT, I'm with a group that's indecisive when faced with the question, "So where do we eat lunch?" Now that can be difficult when you only have an hour for lunchbreak, so Cheena suggested we take turns in choosing where to eat. We're on the second rotation now, going on third. :))
* I have an officemate who's a Pekto/Chito Miranda of Parokya ni Edgar look-alike. Hindi niya tinatantanan ang IP. At pag nagbibigay ng pansit, andaming sahog at sayote! :P
