I woke up at around 8:00 a.m. today. It wasn't exactly a sunny morning, but I didn't expect this much rain in the afternoon.

Anyway, I got a text from my boss asking if I could attend her meeting because she was having asthma attacks--again. I had to beg off because I wasn't really feeling okay myself either. There's something wrong with my tummy. Actually I have been experiencing this discomfort for days now but I think I can manage pa naman.

Moving on, since I had the feeling I'd be stuck here at home for the whole day, I browsed through our dibidi "collection" to look for anything that I haven't watched yet. Fortunately I found this eight-in-one dibidi that I haven't finished watching. So I popped it in and watched Accepted, a teen movie. I enjoyed watching it kahit papaano. Then I remembered I bougth a dibidi of Fracture (Anthony Hopkins) last week but decided to save it for later when Paul comes. So I settled for Game K N B?, which is much, much, more fun with Edu Manzano hosting it than Kris, and Eat Bulaga!

I also thought of going to the mall to watch a movie (heck, I'm probably the only loser who hasn't seen the Transformers yet!) but then it rained sooo hard so I just took a loooong nap but with this kind of weather, 3 hours of afternoon nap is still not enough. Inaantok parin ako!

Let's see if tomorrow would be a better and brighter day. Happy weekend guys!

suuuuper yyuummmy!!!


ang mga dumale sa donut

mukha ba kaming marunong mag-bowling?

puro porma lang, kanal naman! hehe.

I'm not used to big pool tables you know. yung pambata lang kaya ko!

*From this point on, puro pics nalang dahil hindi ko alam ang tawag sa mga ito (kaya nga namin pinicturan eh!) pero masaraaap! Try nyo Prince of Jaipur, mejo mahal nga lang.

*right before the movie

We all had lots of fun, but felt sad at the same time because this was actually a sort of "going away gimmick" for Edz. Sya nga pala ang nanlibre, hehe. Salamat guys, lalo na kay Edz for the treat. Sa uulitin!

Skipped work today to apply for a passport, FINALLY! Not going anywhere YET though...but who knows? hehe.

Anyway, the process wasn't as grueling as I had expected. On the contrary, mabilis lang siya. It took me only about an hour and a half or two and I was ALL BY MYSELF! Poor Paul, we didn't know that only the applicants are allowed to enter the premises so he had to wait outside. Buti na nga lang maaga kami at mabilis lang.

Impressed na sana 'ko dahil for once, may sistemang Pilipino na naranasan ko na mabilis at walang hassle. Pero pagdating sa Gate 2, kakaiba ang trip ng mga nagpo-process ng requirements. I know that it's their job to verify that the documents presented to them are authentic and that the person applying is really who he says he is, but for Pete's sake, do they really have to ask about the applicant's favorite subject in HIGH SCHOOL and in which year level he took it?

Buti nalang sa'kin matino naman yung tanong like what's my father's middle name. But the applicant beside me was asked kung ano pa daw ang laman ng CPU bukod sa motherboard. Yung isa pa tinanong kung ilang taon unang nakatikim...ng red wine. I think their questions depend on the type of document presented pero parang nakaka- na kasi 'yung iba eh. Then they were asking for other documents like the transcript of records, eh hindi naman yun naka-indicate sa list ng requirements eh.

Anyway, I'm glad I was able to get through the process with flying colors, hehe. Now to which country should I go first...(wow, parang mamamasyal lang ah!)?

After nun, natulog na 'ko maghapon. Sarap! Minsan lang to...hehe. 

Weekend's coming up, yahooo! Have a great one everyone!

And I'd like to try it out!

Bagay naman kaya sa'kin?

This is definitely NOT an impulse haircut. Finally, a new do that's not a result of depression. My friends like it, Paul is going crazy over it ("Gustong-gusto ko talaga 'yang gupit mo. Bagay na bagay sa'yo. Para kang baby!" --dapat ba akong matuwa sa comment n'yang 'yun? hehe) and I'm soooo loving it!

No more bad hair days (almost!). My preparation time in the morning was cut in half. Tipid sa shampoo and conditioner at ang bilis pang patuyuin (so tipid din sa kuryenet? hehe)!

Tsaka nalang yung pic pag may nakuha na 'ko na maayos .

Gotta sleep early...g'nyt! 

...ang pasaporte ko at mas matagal pa pala ang releasing kaysa sa pag-aapply!

Dahil sa nabilisan ako sa proseso nung nag-apply ako for a passport, I decided to just take the morning off at papasok ako sa hapon. I was at the DFA's passport releasing section before it even opened. I waited (while STANDING) for about 2 1/2 hours, only to find out that there was a problem with my documents. Grrrr!

Ganito kasi yung proseso:

Step 1. Ipasa ang resibo sa window na nagtataglay ng unang letra ng apelyido mo.

Step 2. Maupo at hintaying tawagin ang pangalan mo.

Step 3. Kunin ang pasaporte mo, lumagda sa listahan at umuwi.

SIMPLE LANG 'DI BA? Pero nagiging KOMPLIKADO dahil sa MAKUKULIT na mga Pilipino na nagpupumilit lumugar kung saan hindi dapat at nakaka-abala sa ibang tao.

Sinunod ko naman ang mga guidelines na ito at hindi naman ako naging pasaway, pero malas talaga eh..

Sabi ng isang babae na tila eksperto na sa pag-claim ng passport, "naku, kapag sinabing pumunta sa room 100, ibig-sabihin may problema."

Sa isip ko: "Lord, okay lang na ko na ang huling tawagin, basta 'wag na akong papuntahin sa room 100!"

Makalipas ang isang oras...

Lalaki sa window IJKL: "Johnson, Virginia Mae"

Pag lapit ko, iniabot sa'kin ng lalaki ang resibo ko na iniabot ko sa kasama niya earlier at sinabing, "Miss, pasensya na natagalan. Wala kasi dito yung passport mo, paki tignan sa room 100. 'Pag wala doon, ibalik mo dito."

I did as I was told. May konting aberya nga sa documents ko, pero naayos din naman. Nakuha ko rin ang pinaka-mimithing passport. Hindi na nga lang ako naka-pasok sa opisina...kaya nanood nalang kami ni Paul ng The Simpsons Movie (na hindi pala ganoon ka-funny. Mas nakakatawa pa yung part na Spiderpig nung pinalabas sa trailer kaysa nung sa movie na).

Whew. May point na nagsisi ako dahil mas pinili ko na dumaan sa normal na proseso kaysa sa humingi ng tulong sa mga may 'koneksyon', pero at least ngayon napatunayan ko na kaya ko pala mag-isa (naks!).

Weekend na, woohoo! BIG plans tomorrow. Can't wait!
