the one after the birthday

Ang dami kong nasa isip. Wala akong ma-blog. Ehehehe!

Let me start by saying thank you to the following people: Chris, Maica, Corie, Paula, Rc, Cy, Francine, Conrad, Simonette, Siel and Diet, Carol, Jeramie, Dianne, Lhise, kay Tito Efren, Tita Cora, kina Patrick, Gilbert, Cherry, Aica, Jed, Chinky, Rose, the whole ManaiPoe team, TL Lei, newbies Allan and Ricky, some of the Sprint people, Froi, and Angiel (na ka-birthday ko pala!), for obvious reasons that they knew my birthday, remembered to greet me, text me up, tap me at the back or somewhere else, make "beso" (yeah, if you have pretty girl friends and you're super close friends with them, may "friendly beso" kapag nagba-'babay' or kapag may "happy birthday" or "merry christmas" [paki-bilang ang quotation marks sa statement na ito]), and after all these, never forget to ask for a blowout. Whew! Mga Pinoy talaga! Sanay na sanay humingi ng libre. Yeah, maghintay kayo ng libre. Next year! Hahaha! Example ng next year, 'yung "toogs toogs" natin Francine. Hahahaha! Or siguro sa summer okies? (Ano 'yung "toogs toogs"? Go figure.)

Expect this to be a post-birthday blog entry. The One After the Birthday. You get 100 points if you know kung anong sitcom ang gumagamit ng ganyang style for episode titles.

How did the whole day go? My shift started at 12mn. My first call isn't really remarkable, so I'm looking forward to another year of "blah" work. I only got 2 inbound calls the whole shift, sobrang laki ng 'avail' namin, thanks to the new Wave 16 of Sprint-WLNP. Pinag-outbound tuloy ako. So my AHT soared up to 9 minutes, or 24 minutes according to the damn tracker. Yeah, really looking forward to a year of "blah" at work. To compensate for the inconvenience (huh?), I got myself a Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Blended Coffee. Naks! I can spell a Starbucks beverage aside from my favorite Tazo Green Tea and Cappuccino. So... I'm looking to one great year with my Starbucks Planner. Ehehe!

I'm out at 9am. Excited sa Red Ribbon Chocolate Marjolaine. Na hindi ko rin nabili dahil nagsara ang Red Ribbon sa amin. Nalugi yata. Haaaaay... 20 years of Goldilocks. Not bad, though I'm wishing for something new.

Unusual dahil hindi umulan. Or maybe umulan nung 5 hours na tulog ako. Hehehehe! Tuwing birthday ko kasi umuulan e.

Practically, it's another in-house birthday. Officially naglagay na kami ng christmas tree to start the Christmas season. Ako naglagay ng star. It felt good. After all, ako pa rin ang bunso. I'm always entitled to such "childlike" things. It could also mean another year na intact ako sa family ko, pero the focus is on me again. Mainly dahil babalik na akong school.

New Year's Resolution: ehem! Medyo nabawasan in fairness. It feels good na kahit papaano may na-accomplish ako, pero hindi 100%. Katulad ng hindi na ako male-late, or na seseryosohin ko na ang workout. If there's one resolution I'll be making for this year, siguro, is to learn how to love and appreciate my self. Tama nga sila, mahirap umasang mamahalin ka ng ibang tao kung ikaw sa sarili mo hindi mo naman 'yun magawa. (In an undertone: Kailangan ko na ng girlfriend.).

Kaya to start off, kailangan batiin ko muna ang sarili ko. Master Choi, Happy Birthday. ;)
