Cruel Fate

Fate can be a bitch
it teases you with hope ’til you surrender into oblivion
While moaning in ecstacy, it suddenly changes its course
walking 1000 miles away from you, never glancing back

leaving nothing but pieces of what once belonged to you
disheveled and forgotten, you can only hope
that fate will be better the next time it comes your way

week.end

Today is Monday! Today is Monday! Woohhoo! I should be excited!

Ok enough I’m done being sarcastic. This is just one of those crappy days. I’ve been having a lot of those lately. I want to go home badly. I’m tired with the tons of work to be done. I shouldn’t be complaining, I’m being paid for this and I’m learning a lot but sometimes I just feel tired and crappy. No its not the time of the month yet and no I’m not pregnant. What am I the immaculate conception and I can’t be the virgin mary right? Hello? me virgin bwahahaha!!!!! LOLZ!

My insomia is getting worse and worse. Darn it! I don’t drink coffe, I don’t drink ice tea, I don’t eat chocolates but still I can’t sleep. I need to hyponotize myself to sleep.

What’s up with me? I haven’t updated you guys. What is there to update? I work, “try” to sleep, work and “try” to sleep. That is basically my routine. I’ve been drinking milk these past few nights *yucky*, I hate milk. I dare not breathe when I’m drinking because the smell makes me puke. I am not a milk drinker ever since. Just a little sacrifice so I can go to sleepyland. I’ve been downing on vitamins every morning, and I’ve been waking up early (8-8:30 am) just so I can establish a sleeping pattern. Am I successful? sometimes.

Last friday, I didn’t feel like working so I went home early at 8:00 pm. See, I go to the office 9:00 and go home 10:00 pm usually. I am such a workaholic. It’s true, I’m working non-stop now, I’m too busy to even comb my hair, with my manager always popping me to expedite my work who wouldn’t be that busy. She’s popping another message right now, telling me to upload my task report. Darn! darn! give me a break here! Would you beleive that sometimes I am asked to go online at home so we can discuss THE project. She’s not too bad really, just a workaholic bossing, in fact she’s one of the best bossing I’ve had. Just that sometimes, I want my life baaaccckkk!!! I am even dreaming of codes right now. Nonsense dreams such as me realizing that the reason why I can’t sleep was because I used the wrong css. Hello? ano connect ng css sa reason na di ako makatulog.

Last saturday, I went to the office again to debug my codes. I was about to test my codes to our US server and then suddenly all went black. I thought I was transported to twilight zone. Belatedly, we remembered that there was going to be a building shutdown. So we had no choice but to walk the friggin’ stairs, from the 22nd flr. all the way down to the ground floor. I thought my knees were going to turn into jelly when I reached the ground floor.

Went home and watched t.v. Mau txted me that he was going to watch Pinoy Dream Academy at home, his cousin was one of the constestants. He arrived around 7:30. Ngano sayo kaha ni ang bayot! He was planning to bake cookies for Josh, bake daw, este planning to put 2 tbsp of water to the ready to mix. But it turned out to be a flop and I ended up baking “real” cookies.

We (Armilyn, Georgia, Bing and I) went to Mall of Asia to stroll yesterday. Armi’s here for a business trip. Bongga ila company, they were made to come here in Manila just to celebrate their anniversary. We watched ANTZ Bully in IMAX and then went home. I took pictures. well, 2 pictures which were crappy but I’ll upload them anyway. Wala man gud ko sa pic mau na crappy.

Ok back to work again. Tons of bugs to debug. If only I can spray baygon to kill those nasty bugs.

P.S.

I lost my mp3 player *bawls*.

Hellish experience

I promised that I would write this rather hellish experience so the world will know how hellish the service is of K-Kleen Laundry Services. Remember folks, K-Kleen Laundry Services. They have branches in makati, ortigas and I don’t know where else. If you find this laundry shop please just run as far as your legs could take you.

I don’t know where else to rant but here. I handed over my laundry to them last June 22. Yepz, it was that long ago and the hell of a ride ended just last week. They promised that I can get my laundry 3 days after I had them serviced. So, on tuesday I decided to pick it up and whatdya know it’s still in their to do list. I picked it up again the next day but still my laundry is still undone. I then picked it up on Friday and guess what? I only got 3 pieces of my f*cking clothes. They lost my laundry!!!! They told me to go back the next day as they need to sort out their laundries. I came back and went home with nothing. I’ve lost times with how many times I came back empty handed. It was more than a month that I demanded payment for my lost laundry. The guy said that I need to wait 4 more days to get the amount. It was only for 585 mind you ! not that big of amount right?

So I went back a week after and got to talk to the owner who said in a nonchalant way “Miss pwede ba 500 na lang (can I just pay you 500)”. what??? I was the one who lost all the bedsheets, my pants and all my freakin’ clothes and you had the gall to bring down the offer???? She even had the guts to tell me that she would only pay 585-117 (5x the laundry expense as indicated in their reciept) because I haven’t paid the laundry yet. I repeated to her n time s how I have paid the amount but she still insisted that I haven’t grrr!! She told me that she will just leave money at the shop (bahala na daw ano ilalagay nya don) and I can get it there. By this time I was fuming madder that I’ve even before and if I can only shove 500 up her ass I would have done so.

So I went back 1 week from the time I demanded (to nth time) payment for my lost laundry. 585 is what of their daily earnings and here is the transcrpit of our conversation:

owner: miss, 400 lang mabibigay ko sayo
me: bakit? its in the receipt that you will pay 5x the amount of my laundry bill
owner: eh 400 lang yung binayad sa nakawala ng laundry mo
me: is that my responsibilty? you are suppose to be the owner you should be able to pay me the amount indicated in the contract
owner: eh may patakaran kami dito na kung sino nakawala siya ang babayad wala na ang management diyan
me: ha? responsibility ng management yan, at may contrata tayo sa recibo na 5x ang babayaran mo. (pisti giatay ni siya ay.. kalami sagpaon ug bali-bali)
owner: eh ganun talaga miss yun yung patakaran namin. di 400+ lang babayaranan ko sayo dahil – 117
me: di ba ilang beses ko sinabi sayo na nagbayad na ako.
owner: kung gusto mo makuha ang kulang eh ikaw habulin mo yung pintalsik namin na babae
me: (what the f*ck, grr! kalami dyud patiran) ikaw nga yung management that is your responsibility. Ano paki-alam ko sa patakaran nyo? ang importante nakuha ko yung bayad nyo sa ‘kin!
owner: eh ganun patakaran namin eh.. kung hindi mo to kukunin miss wala ka ng makukuha last time na namin this week eh mag cha-change management na kami
me: grrr akin na nga yan.

… and I stormed out of the shop. I will let karma work its wonders with them. I truly believe that they will get what they deserve one of these days.

3:30 am

Yahoo! I’ve finally changed my header. Chicken lang pala! Ok! I’m blogging because I am not at all sleepy. I shouldn’t have drowned in all that caffeine. Darn it! I drank 2 cups of coffee and 3 hours ago, I drank coke. I ask for it, now am getting what I deserved for being such a glutton.

I’m suppose to release some codes again (bakit ako na lang palagi? bakit? bakit?) but I was not in the mood to work. I am feeling guilty right now for not being able to do so and I promised to release the codes when I’m at home. Darn it! I cannot install the Visual Studio, how am I suppose to work on my freakin’ codes! Our client by the way, is the client from hell. He is too meticulous. I mean who gives a hoot whether the font rendered by photoshop is better than the font rendered-css style? An o.c. client arrggg! I hope the express edition works because I have no plans of yet again spending my Sunday at the office.

New discovery for the day: YOu can buy a whole series of episodes for just 100-200 pesos. Yes, you read it right! It is that cheap. My officemate was gushing as to how cheap he bought the whole season two of LOST series. So, curious that I am, I went there a while ago dragging Georgia with me to see what goodies I can buy. True enough, there are lots of series in there. I was stopping myself to not buy Grey’s Anatomy as I just splurged on some beauty products, which had my jaw hanging when it was totalled (839 what? did I hear it right? piskot pataka na pud ko ug punit). I’m buying MY GIRL though, my gift to you LANY. I’ll give it to my ex-classmate/ex-officemate who will come here in manila this August 25. Tenk you daan arms sa pagdala.

I’ve got some sad news though, Yiek initially requested to go home earlier because he couldn’t bear the thought of being far away from me. I must be damn irresistible! His wish wasn’t granted. huhuhu The soonest that he’ll be able to come home will be on September 7, a month or so from now! Ger dem it! I was hoping to get my bag of goodies a.k.a. pasalubong earlier.

Ok I’m off to sleep. I hope I can sleep! Georgia and I are going to divisoria tomorrow for some shopping therapy. Claire you must behave, don’t even attempt to bring your atms with you!

 

Minor Glitch

I just realized that photos uploaded through blogger cannot be seen. Errr, and the template cannot be changed. WTF? I’ve seen some wordpress blogs where the template header picture is different, so I’ll just surf the net and find the solution.

For the next few days, I’ll be migrating my pictures from blogger, categorized all my posts and tinker with wordpress until I can semi-customize its template. Its advantages(security mostly) far outweighs the glitches.
