LAVATORY SESSIONS

These pictures were taken out of sheer boredom inside one of the cubicles in my office building's comfort rooms.

 

Fair warning....

Sickly pale

yeah I haven't resigned yet... And I have to update whoever has the time to read what crap I write here....

Oh yeah my daughter was reunited with her prodigal father a few weeks back...

And after that I was hospitalized and I had a rotten polyph taken out of me...

On a happier note... My little girl is big enough to dance the rhumba!

I'm growing older... But then again, isn't she adorable?

Update you on more...

i'm on leave for a week! Yay! recupperating!

Saan na napunta ang panahon?

And for this entry, I'd use PINK.

I just feel as if the color is appropriate. Sorry to reminisce but I really miss these people. These are the souls who I shared my life as an awkward and wide eyed teenager and who are now sharing my life as a more awkward and more wide eyed adult.

We went through the overkill woes of teen-dom and we are now battling with the horrors of quarter life crisis.

Sometimes I think that I'm the only person who is going through life's dilemmas but being with them again reminded me that every 20-something out there is struggling with some kind of problem too. Wether it's something to do with a drunken love life... dysfunctional families or the dreaded payslip, everyone of my age is battling their own demons regardless of how good they look or whether their parents still provide them with credit plastic.

So there we are, all smiles... Two (mother) packers(package designers), a tech moron/single mom, a jet setting CPA, a wiccan porn translator, an etherial student and a young OB-GYN... We used to be just your average run of the mill students a few years back... What we have right now ain't too bad, at least we have each other...

That's what counts.

7 years ago...

I really do apologize for the grainy picture but this is the only thing that I can pull out online that was taken during my age of innocence...

I miss this girl.

This girl wrote like a woman possessed. She scribbled everywhere she went. She didn't fear what other people think. She sang her heart out whenever she's feeling glum with high hopes that she could turn a bad day into an adventurous one. She used to pretend that she's just a princess evicted from a castle high up and here on earth she must battle with real every day dragons and demons. She used to dance like crazy when nobody's looking... Most of the times she doesn't even give a shit if a whole crowd is watching. She used to make the violin cry like there is no tomorrow and fly beautiful chinese kites until dusk.

I don't know where she went. Sometimes whenever I look at myself in the mirror I could see her smiling back at me as if we have a wee bit of a secret.

But I miss this girl.

Through the hustle and bustle of adult life, I long to take long walks with her. To tell her not to worry and enjoy life as it come.

I want to tell her not to grieve for me. Because eventhough I am in a position that she never ever dreamed of as one of her realities, I want to tell her that she still has the power to make her own decisions...

That this could be NOT reality but just a fragment of what is supposed to be.

love poem of an engineering student

TECHNICALLY YOURS
(An engineering student’s love letter)

When I see you walking parallel to me down the street
I always wish that our eyes would intersect
I said to myself, “You’re beyond compare!”
As I measure you down my metric scale.

When we are in phase,
My coordinate collapses
My brain rotates at infinite degrees
My heart beats with a frequency of 143.44 hertz
When your intensity gives my whole body a quake.

I theorize that all of these is just a natural phenomenon
That even Einstein couldn’t derive an equation;
‘cause it’s more complicated than his theory of relativity, magnetism or polarity.

Shall I compare thee to my calculator?
Thou art so perfect and indispensable
Could I input my thoughts to you?
And would you calculate your feelings for me too?
Or perhaps just allow a few bytes of me
To be stored, undeleted, into your memory.

Someday I interpolate (hoping not to extrapolate)
That you and I would be equal, similar or maybe congruent.
Best if integrated; worst if differentiated
‘Cause a function of you,
Now I consider myself

I don’t care if I get a grade of 5 in physics and chemistry
Be under probationary or given DLC 1
But I beg of you
Give me at least a grade of W 2

DLC 1 - Definitely Last Chance
W 2 - Warning


Technically yours,
A grad student of MIT
- Mapuyat Institulog of anToknology

OF CHUCKS & PSYCHOSIS


Chucks

What kind of shoe are you?

 

 

It's so hard to face the fact that I'm going to move out of Teletech Nova in two days... I have to surrender my access card, my Verizon manual and I have to leave the family that I've known for the past year .

When this company took me in, all that I knew about computers was that I could pull up Word and do Photoshop. Nothing about the Technical stuff. But now I could do networking and can make you connect to a dsl wireless connection in a jiffy! Last year, all I dreamed of was to get the training over and done with so that I could support my baby. But now I'm ready to embark in another journey.

Goodbye technical stuff... Hello HEALTHCARE.

Yes, I am the one that is chosen to pioneer the launch of one of America's leading looney drug company here in RP. I'm going to be the product specialist basically and teach people how to handle crazy people who orders anti-depressants over the phone.

whatever... don't they know I'm diagnosed with severe psychosis?

FALLEN

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
