            Third day on my vacation. I’m so bored. Only on thing (or person) makes me happy, and I just missed him this noon, because I left my computer to eat lunch with my family. You know, they’re all here, Mom, fratelli and sorella. We had a great time. It’s been awhile since I last eat lunch with my family. It felt so good.

            When I went back in front of the PC, he left an offline. He had no idea I was online, because I was in “invisible” mode. J So, after lunch, I just watched Pussycat Dolls’ videos. Honestly, it’s only Nicole who is sexy; the others look like her back-up dancers. Fans shouldn’t complain that they’re over-emphasizing Nicole. Hello, the moment they take the spotlight away from Nicole, people will see that the other “Dolls” are not that hot as they seemed to be.

            I asked Mom to walk with me. So, we went outside. We bought banana Q and turon. I pinched Mom on her waist. She said, “You’ll never feel any flesh or fat.” I laughed and I pinche my own waist. Wow. Lot’s of fat. I told Mom, “Ma, pinch mine, lots of fat.” She did pinch me, and it tickled, so I hastily removed her hand, and I think I broke her thumb.

            We passed a siomai stand and we ate. It wasn’t as good as her favorite, which is “The Siomai House”. She didn’t even finish her order and had me to finish it.

            We kept walking until we reached Mercury Drugstore. Mom bought some medicines for her high cholesterol, which is really unbelievable, because she doesn’t eat that much meat. While she’s with the pharmacist, I bought gummy worms and a chocolate bar. I ate my candies while I read TIME magazine. They featured Michael Jackson. Ew. Just ew.

            I have nothing against Jacko Wacko, but he really scares me. What I don’t get is that why his children are so white. Duh, you can’t cheat DNA. Maybe, it’s not his sperm.

            On our way home, Mom and I started planning about my wedding. She said we have a lot of relatives to invite on my wedding day. I said I want to invite few people. We argued, we had PROS and CONS. Then, we realized, I don’t even have a boyfriend to marry. Haha.

            We checked out the new subdivisions’ model house. It was so pretty, just like a doll house. Then, we started planning on our room. We decided to paint it with lavender next week. Yay!!!

            We dropped by at Krissie’s house. Poor Krissie, she’s ill, and she didn’t go to work.

            Mom and I went home. I practiced “Vincent” and “Yesterday Once More” in piano.   

Luglio Due, 2:27 AM (giovedi)

            I can’t sleep. Haha. Maybe I’ve been sleeping for 10 hours already.

            What now? No idea. I don’t know what to do during my five-day off from work. Go to Bora? Nah. It’s too crowded. And I’m not the Bora-type of girl. J Plus, I don’t have games to ditch. Haha.

            Sorella was back yesterday. I don’t know if it for good. The other day, I couldn’t sleep, and I had tantrums, and she was there to comfort me. That’s what I like about Sorella. She’s just there to listen, even if she’s “out-of-ate”. Haha. Well, I cried because I was really upset. It was a hot day, and I was sleeping, Mom and Carl argued in the kitchen. My bedroom was near the kitchen, and I can hear them. Mom shouted at Carl, and I woke up.

            I asked why they were arguing. It’s just because of the stupid jogging pants. Man. Kids. I’m not gonna judge Carl. I was like that when I started college too. J But the problem is, I couldn’t go back to bed. I forced myself to go back to sleep, but I just couldn’t. I was pretty stressed out lately, because Yner’s arrival in our house (and thank God he left already), so I needed some sleep. It was five o’clock in the afternoon when I started to cry. First, tears were just rolling down from my cheeks. I sniffed a little, and those little sniffs became big baby sobs. It was good! It’s been years since I cried like that. J After crying, I felt better, got dressed and went to work. Sorella liked my new dress. Yay!

            Yesterday, Mom a new set of curtains. It was fabulous. It’s white and there were green roses and leaves embroidered in it. Carl helped her to put it on. I noticed that Mom changed the throw pillow cases on the living room. She used the orange ones. Really, I don’t have anything against orange, but really looked out of place.

            I chatted with Gab yesterday. She was asking about Antonio. I was like, “Antonio who?” I remembered about our Zorro conversation. She likes the show, but she denied that she likes Richard Gutierrez. Haha. For me, Richard is handsome, but he’s not really the type of guy that girls dig in. He looks too good. I don’t know. I find him really corny and cheesy J Though I don’t watch Zorro, I told Gab that Antonio is not dead. Hello, it’s a typical Pinoy fantaserye. Filipinos never kill the protagonist. I haven’t seen even a single episode, but I can keep Gab up to date, because the plot is so predictable. I said, “Antonio is not dead yet, he’s just hiding somewhere, like a monastery or something, and he’s preparing for his big come back.” Then Gab went offline to go biking.

            I logged in ebaby. Being so nice (or pretending to be so nice) made me listen to all my friends’ love troubles. Oh my gosh. Cyber love is so in. To tell you the truth, it’s pretty unrealistic. Not practical. It happens only to people without social life. Tell you about it later. I gotta go jogging.

             I’m such an emo. Whatever. Haha

            I didn’t go to work. Since Saturday. Chief will kill me. Whatever.

            So, okay, yesterday was payday. I’m amazed how controlled I was yesterday. I didn’t buy anything not on the list. I just bought the Disney Princess mug, Meg magazine and 2 pairs of slippers. Well, I know I said I kind of feel bad about having a lot of slippers, while others don’t have anything to wear. I guess, I’ll do something for them in the future.

            And of course, it’s the happiest day of the month, because we get to go shopping. Mom was with me, of course. You know, we’re both shopaholimaniacs. But I swore last time that I won’t really spend that much.

            I withdrew some cash from the ATM machine. Mom didn’t notice that I left some (haha) cash. We went to NBS and bought two coloring books. Then, we went to the Hypermarket for groceries. That’s wear I bought Meg, two pairs of Toeberries and the Disney Princess Mug.  Mom shopped for groceries, while I browsed the stores. I saw Ate Nettersh and Auntie Nene. Haha. Well, it’s pay day, so I guess, they’re there for shopping too J

            After buying groceries, Mom and I had pizza. Then, we browsed the stores. We saw this lovely blue dress with ruffled collar. It’s so lovely, but they don’t have a size for me. Plus, I wasn’t really in the mood to try things on.

            I went to the hospital after shopping. I wasn’t really ill or something. I was just pretending to be sick so I can get a medcert for work. I went to see the internal medicine physician. He said it’s Bronchitis, and he prescribed some meds. Haha. Then, I went to see the dermatologist. She’s okay. I went home after.

            We had spaghetti for dinner. I went online and found him on. It’s the saddest day of my life.

            Just had breakfast with Mom. It feels so good to be home.

            Actually, I was home since yesterday, after the game.

            World is spinning so fast. I don’t remember that much about last week.

            Oh yeah! I remember what happened. I worked during weekends. That’s great. Haha.

            I went to church last Sunday. I couldn’t take it anymore. No offense meant to Christ, but it seemed like His followers are the most plastic people I’ve ever seen. Sorry for pointing that out, you know. I have nothing against them, but honestly, they don’t practice what they preach. Perfect example is my cousins. They were raised in a strict, religious way. They’re pretty disciplined, and when Mom leaves me with them, I felt really morally inferior. But not anymore. Some of them got pregnant out of wedlock.

            I saw the same thing in the church congregation I grew up. I hate to say this but that’s where favoritism, backstabbing, discrimination, adultery, and fornication are practiced most.

            I told Mom that I was sleepy, so she let me go home. I went home and slept. I woke up around noon to check my mails. I received a text from TL, saying that my shift will start at ten o’clock in the evening. Dang. I hate late shifts. Anyways, I agreed to trade off last Giovedi, so it’s entirely my fault. I shouldn’t agreed, in the first place.

            I went to work on Sunday evening. I thought it’s avail, but I was wrong. Oh gosh. I went home the next day, very groggy with lack of sleep. I went to bed straight away, because I was so tired.

            I woke up, with the sound of my alarm. Honestly, I don’t really like to go to work, but I had to.

            I went to work with Ate Nettersh. We talked about her application in workforce. I hope she get in because she’s dying to get out of that account. You know, she has enemies. I told her about Tita Tess. It turned about that we both don’t like her, because she’s such a back-stabber. She’s saying good things when you’re in front of her, but says otherwise once you turn your back. That is so like… you know. J I’m so excited to see Uncle Totoy’s children, especially Am. Work was okay. I was completely ignoring the girl who never shuts up. I still want to annihilate her, but it’s tiring to be Blair Waldorf all the time.

            During lunch, I sat between Andy and Ate Allen. Ate Allen told us about tis flirty caller she had. She imitated how he said “fantastic”. Oh gosh. It’s like the movie wherein Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe met each other. I think it was Cruel Intentions. Fantastic.

            Then, Andy had a Filipina caller.

Caller: May narinig akong nagtagalog diyan.

Andy: Oh, those are my colleagues. (Mute) sabi ng caller ko, ang ingay niyo raw, narinig niya kayo!

Regine: Oh gosh. Sorry. Ano pangalan niya?

Andy: Eloisa.

Regine: Hi Eloisa!

Allen: Hi Eloisa!

Eloisa: San ba kayo dito sa US?

Andy: Actually, we’re in Philippines.

Eloisa: Talaga! Hay, namimiss ko na yung mga pagkain diyan. Lalo na yung lumpia.

Andy: Really! We have lumpia here. There’s a rep that sells lumpia here. (He’s talking about Meredith, who sells lumpia)

Regine: We even have a sari-sari store here. Haha. It’s called “Aling Sally’s Sari-sari store” It’s located at the “kanto”, in front the workforce.

            Andy and Eloisa continued talking, while Ate Allen and I continued talking.

            I stopped rendering lunch OTS because it makes me weak. I just spend my time with my coworkers and help them. It’s fun talking to them you know.

            OM Mars told me to keep my big butterfly drawing. I guess, she didn’t like it. Haha. She also told Anj to keep her pictures from her station. That’s really sad, because Anj put our pictures there.

            They’re still convincing Sean to send his photos along with his coworkers. Anj told me to ask Sean. I finally agreed, but I don’t get routed to Sean when I call the resolution line. I don’t know if there’s a problem.

            As for volleyball, it’s okay. Yesterday, after shift, I went to the game, because Toffee came up to me the other night, asking me why I wasn’t showing up in our games. Well. I ran out of excuse, and I just promised that I’ll show up in the next game, which was, yesterday. I have the feeling that I’m off the team if I don’t show up in the game.

            AKA Chris Brown never asked if I watched a game. Whew.

            Xyza showed up the other night, looking hot as ever. Well, she’s one hot Momma when she was still pregnant. She’s hotter this time. Plus her hair was newly rebonded. As usual, she had all the people’s attention, even the new reps, who were in ABAY and listening to the live calls.

            My stats are not so good. I blame it on the internet.

            So, okay, I went to the game. I didn’t get to play that much. Well, I don’t want too, because the game was crucial. Anyways, I was praying that we finish the game early so that I can go home. You know, I have to talk to someone.

            After three sets, we won. What a relief. I skipped eating out for lunch, and celebrating with friends, because I was such in a hurry. I took a shower right away, and said bye to my team mates.

            But I didn’t catch him. I hope he’s not mad at me.

            I talked to Ate She and Gab. I realized that if I gather my cousins for a day, it’ll be like ebaby. Haha. Gab asked for Jam’s email address. After I gave it to her, she was like, “Do all the Moaje kids have the word ‘cute’ in their email addresses?” Haha. She noticed. Well, if you ask me, it’s pretty conceited, you know, to include “cute” or “pretty” or “gorgeous” in your email address. Whatever.

            I got bored talking to Gab. She isn’t that bubbly on the net, just like she is in person. I logged out and watched Gossip Girl.

            I like the series. But I don’t get it why people, especially the moderator of the blog, were so interested with the lives of the elite Upper East Siders. Well, it’s fun to talk about them, but to ruin their lives just by talking about them, that’s a different story.

            I went to bed 5 pm in the evening.

            I was sleeping when Ed barged in my room and put my cellphone in my ear. “You have a call.” I absent-mindedly took it.

            “Hello?” I asked. I’m confused what language to use, whether tagalong or English. “Sino to?” I asked.

            “Regine, Regine, blah blah blah.” It’s a female voice. Not familiar. All female voices are the same in phone lines. Then, my phone went dead. I buried my face back in the pillow and went back to zzzzzzing.

            I wok up around 5 am. I can’t go back to sleep, so I just turned on the DVD and watched Gossip Girl. I’m fascinated with the clothes they wear. It urged me to shop more, which is not a good thing.

            More later, I have work tonight.

            Just got home from work. Let’s start the internet weekend. Kidding.

          Anyways, I’ve been busy for a while. I don’t come here often. I guess I was really affected with the-girl-who-never-shuts up’s nasty comments. It’s a good thing, because it just made me realize that I’ve been slacking off last month, and I’m now back on track.

Samedi:

            First game: Wellpoint versus Humana. Man. We lost. I didn’t get to play, but that was totally fine with me because the game was so crucial. I don’t want to be blamed so I’ rather be a benchwarmer. After the game, I played some ball with some of the Humana players.

            I saw Avi, and I said hi to her/him. She/he didn’t recognize me right away. Then, she/he squealed and exclaimed, “Oh! It’s you! How are you?” I was sort of surprised, because we’re not that close. Plus, when I went up to her/him, she/he held up her/his palms in front of her/him, and I slapped it. She/he gripped it and kissed both my cheeks. Yuck. Haha.  

            I played non-stop, even if I couldn’t breathe properly. I thought if I play, my cardiovascular strength will improve, but heck no. I played until one pm. When I felt tired, I decided to stop and take a shower in the girls’ locker. I ordered garlic bread from Greenwich and my favorite value meal from Jollibee.

        On my way out of the Metropolis, I saw these two guys. One of them smiled at me. I was a snob so I ignored him and kept on walking. Then, they started following me. Well, maybe because I was wearing a miniskirt that time, haha. But I glared at him, as if to say, “You wanna die?”

 Domenica:

          Life sucks. My computer wasn’t working. So, I was up until dawn tracing the pages of my coloring book. You know, we can’t find any copies from NBS.

          I woke up around afternoon, and Mom told me that she colored the pages I traced. Dang. I was up all night tracing, and she just colored when I fell asleep.

            Evening: I couldn’t take it anymore. I went out and asked for Macky’s help. Fortunately, the damage was not that serious. Actually, I was just so stupid. I removed the memory, but didn’t put it back properly, so processor can’t read it.

            Macky dropped by and checked my computer. Paul and Kuya Jay were right. I was stupid, it’s just the memory.

Martedi:                                 

            It’s pay day. As usual, Mom and I went shopping. I swore that I won’t go shopping this month, but when we got to Robinson’s I forgot my promise. Mom forgot her promise too. She helped me pick up my new night dress, and some other stuff. Then, I saw this sale in So-En, and I checked the dresses. I have all those designs, but in a different color. I tried the dresses on, and I planned to buy two; the red and the black. Mom saw it, and she totally disapproved. She pointed that it’ll look like I’m wearing the same dress, only, in different colors. I ignored her and still continued trying the dresses on.

            While I was trying on the dress, Mom yelled, “Anak! Look at this!” I put back my clothes on and went out of the fitting room.

            Gorgeous. It’s the prettiest and girliest dress I’ve ever seen in my whole life. I asked the attendant, “Do you have a size for me?” She said that there was, and she found it right away. I tried it on. Beautiful. The sleeves were pale yellow, the whole dress was olive green, with a matching yellow bow on the waist. I looked like a princess. I forgot about the So-En dresses. I dumped them back to dress rack and paid for the olive green dress. Wow. Thousand bucks. That’s the cost of the two dresses I ditched.

            After paying for the dress, we looked for a new coat and jacket. Oh my gosh. There’s hundred to choose from. I didn’t really know where to begin. Good thing, Mom was there to help me. We gathered eleven coats and jackets, narrowed the choices to five, and then, I picked two. I bought the fur-collared pink jacket and he fur-hemmed brown coat. They will go well with my clothes.

            I went to work early. I don’t know what’s up with Ate Jeanette. Her car was scratched by her enemy in the office so we always go to work early and hide the car in the farthest corner in the parking lot. Good thing Uncle Fred was so good in cleaning cars that he made the scratches disappear.

            So, I wasn’t moving that much all evening, because I’m afraid to wrinkle my dress. I didn’t even put my jacket; I just hung it on my shoulders, like what I saw in Rachel Zoe Project. You know, she doesn’t allow her clients to put on a coat because it’ll wrinkle the dress.

            Around midnight, AKA Chris Brown (I don’t really know his name) came up to me and asked me if I’m gonna watch his game. He said, “Ate, ate, nood ka ng game namin ha?” I wish I can tell him the truth that I wasn’t really planning to watch the game, I only said yes just to get rid of him. I don’t mind him being around, but I was on a call that time. Plus, he’s rubbing my jacket, saying, “huh, huh, huh, nood ka ha!” Okay fine, I told him, then he went away.

           Okay, I promised that I’ll watched is game, but I didn’t. I’m such a horrible person. Well, he wouldn’t know that I didn’t watch his game. I’ll ask his team mates what happened in the game before he comes in the office, so that I’ll have something to tell him about the game just in case he asks.

            There, I ditched his game, and my own game too. I went home  and slept.

Mercoledi:

            Went to the gym. I just used the tread mill.

            Basically, it’s my RDOT so I went to earlier than usual to get my break schedule. Anj told me that Sean was always looking for me. Hmm. Well, whenever I talk to him, he doesn’t say anything. Whatever.
