Saturday staying in

Finishing some projects. I just need to remind myself that I'm lucky I've got projects lined up. At least I'm still needed. At least I can still get paid. YAY!

Ok that pick me up was good. Back in the few maybe.

Here's my limbs, hair and sometimes eyes crossed for favorable results for the first project of today. GOOD VIBES!!!! :D MUST IMBIBE GOOD VIBES!!!!

Saddle shoes

Saddle shoes. Ever since grade school, I've wanted saddle shoes. I don't know WHY, but I do. now they're being sold in Urban Outfitters and I have the displeasure of living in Manila where there are no Urban Outfitters chains. HMPH.

Friday

This should be a happy day but somehow, it isn't. Tomorrow I have to work on two projects...well one can wait really, but the other must be done. I cannot go out anymore because I must work and stay home and tonight, I will rest early. Yes yes, I know, I've said it before. But I will say it again, and this time it will be true, SO HELP ME GOD!

When I get home tonight, I will only focus on sleeping and doing so early so I can start early tomorrow and allow me to have some breakfast.

Tonight I will go home, then eat, then sleep. Since the flat has just been cleaned, it will be nice and fresh to come home. I will head out in a while. Give it another hour or two. Meanwhile I will read through blogs for ideas on what to do. Scriptwriting is not exactly my forte. Fingers crossed.

weeeee wednesday

Ok it's been a little busy today and I'm sadly STILL not done so I will keep this as short as I can.

I had a successful meeting this afternoon about a couple of project I will take part in...I hope that the work I do (which is due on Friday!) will be good enough.

I found the books I've been looking for in Fully Booked Greenhills....WHEW.

I'm going to finish an article due tomorrow after this.

And after THAT, I have a meeting.

A few things keeping me going today:

1 - Coffee, iced and hot...freshly brewed

2 - "Word of the Lourd" on youtube.com by my friend Lourd. Warning to those who do not speak Tagalog, it's all in um, Tagalog. It's hilarious though if you can understand it :D

3 - Nice cab drivers that smile :D

4 - Vegetarian chicharon (pork rinds or is it crackling?): never thought I'd like anything vegan after trying Bodhi. Soy does not a good meat make. *BARF* I respect those who can take it, and admire that you have that sort of strength. I just cannot and will not.

5 - It's HALFWAY THROUGH THE WEEK!!! (but see that also is a bad thing, SORT OF, since it reminds me of the other stuff I need to do!!)

6 - The Shys: check them out at http://www.theshys.com/

7 - I'm doing projects I LIKE. Haven't had that for a while.

8 - I have funny friends. Especially when Miao is in her happy moods, coz apparently, I make a face when I say "NOOOOO" that makes her double over in laughter. I like that. :)

9 - My new band the Marshas are getting offers for regular and other gigs all over the place and we haven't even gotten a set list together! Seriously, we don't even have 2 songs to rub together yet!! Awww...go girl power!

10 - I'll see C later when we meet about artists drawing on his restaurant's outside walls. We were quiet in the car this morning, I want to make it up to him and tell him about my day and find out what he's been up to the last 12 hours.

OH! And there's an:

11 - These artists are my friends and one of them my tattooer. I CAN SKED MY NEXT SESSION WITH HER! :D Joy joy joy! I've been wanting that one tat for my foot for a while.

and a 12 - For Dmunoz for always sharing his lunch with me and keeping it real :)

So much for keeping it short. But I'm glad that there are a lot of things keeping me going today! Now...to get cracking on that article......until the bright side of the sun.....if that made any sense....

ok ok I have a runner up

I want this too!!!!

AREN'T THESE THE COOLEST THINGS EVER?!

I've never wanted to be a samurai so badly....

*SIGH*

This Tuesday I want these....

Sometimes, I my well hidden girly side comes out. Today is one of those times because when I saw these things, I just thoughtL "DAMN! They are so purrrty! I wants it!"

cowl neck for the urban warrior

brilliant studded with snaps dress (you use the snaps to create the folds, just like in the cowl)

Both from: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6604229

Lovely book necklaces (perfect for geeks like me)

Better yet! Maybe I can adventurous enough and MAKE these. HMMM. There's a thought. That cowl neck scarf thing looks easy enough to make. The dress may be stretching it a bit though.

Those necklaces are just too cute. I could write in them whenever the fancy strikes me! :) That idea thoroughly appeals to me. YAY.

Oh! Just to remind myself of yesterday's ambitions: I sort of DID what I had to do today though, I was not successful in sleeping early. I got home at around midnight (we had a long jam sesh), and though happy with what we accomplished last night, or maybe because of it, I couldn't get to sleep right away. Aside from that, the kittens were going nutzoid with their midnight madness. Yes, that is without the catnip yet! Like a dutiful mom, I cleaned out their stinky litterboxes and massaged them for awhile, and played with them. After that I ate a tin of vienna sausage since I was hungry...hehehehe!

I woke up late today and no I didn't get to close my accounts, but I DID manage so go halfway there. All I need to do is go to the branch of the said accounts and tell them to close it since I got all the money out in BOTH accounts. YAY! I'm not completely useless!! Aside from that, I've managed to schedule meetings and averted crisises today...sort of.

And now, another hour at work (yea, I'm being bad blogging at work) and off to my friend's house for some crazy dinner! See you tomorrow! :)

The weekend is still in my head...

...and it is MONDAY!

I don't know. I think it's that point in my tenure here in my company that I just can't take anyone here seriously. I don't trust anyone, I don't like hanging out with them, and I know that most are backstabbers. I try and stay away from all gossip as much as I can, but sometimes it's hard not to get sucked in, especially at lunch. They're all nice, but c'mon, everyone can be nice for at least an hour long stretch at a time. I don't know. Just making my way to work is making me tired. Knowing I have to get up just to get to work here makes me tired. I've tried all the little "reward point" system to incentivize (is there such a word?) myself into getting back into the groove I should be in to do a good job, but now matter how many times I make a lovely poached egg (and my lord is it lovely) with toasted-just-right bread, I still can't make myself get up and go.

How yummy does this look?!

I am also on tenterhooks about several projects on my plate which I hope will work...or at the very least help me pad my savings account a bit.

The one thing I AM looking forward to is to getting back into drumming (FINALLY!) after nearly a month of not playing! GRRR!!! My arms and legs are itching with beats to play! So tonight, I'm happy to announce, I will be back in my drum stool with my friends pounding away!!! And it's for my uh, sorta new old band.

Ok ok...I must back up and explain. About 3 years ago, 3 of my girlfriends decided to make a band together. So we did. Unfortunately, one of them was relocated to Vietnam shortly after for a 2 year stint. Now she's back and we can get on rock n'rolling :)

I also need to wake up early (or semi early) tomorrow to close my bank accounts. My current bank is absolutely the PITS in service and with the nonexistent internet banking. URRRG. I don't see why they have to advertise how good they are when it doesn't exist. They should aas the customers! But maybe there AREN'T any customers satisfied enough to ASK.....hmmm!! Anyway, I'm moving all (which is admittedly not much) stuff over to their competitor! HA! TAKE THAT BDO! PFFFFFRRRBT! :)

PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR BUSINESS TO THIS BANK!!!!! THEY REALLY TRULY SUCK!!!!


Anyway, I like what I have packed for dinner (sardines...YUM!) and I can't wait to see my gurlies later. This is going to be fun...for a Monday! :)
