Is this year right for me? Hah!!!! What a way to start my 2006...
.... INQ TV is on the rocks.. well.. honestly, we are not airing anymore... Our weeksly show just ended even before 2005 ends... and now we're here... supposed to work out on a documentary which I am really not sure about the status... we, the staffs, are still hypothetical on where we are heading to... thought provoking questions like " are we still here or should we all pack-up and move on?" The waiting game is not yet over. I HATE THIS DILEMNA. When all of us seems to be blindfolded by the truth.. when all things turned out to be a "suspense game" for everyone. Then you'll realize the possibility of not having a pay cheque for this month! Ugh!!!!... much more.. the crap of looking for a new-and-this-time-a-stable-job.
From 24 people last year, we were trimmed to 12 last September... and now we are only 10 left. Ten people left inside a vehicle that suddenly stopped moving. And whether it would continue to run, into what direction, still.. the answer is nowhere to be found.
This is a very crucial decision that we have to face. Now, as to whether to step out on this vehicle and go with a new one, we still can't decide.
Leaving INQ TV is not as easy as it seems. I may have been here only for a year and three months now but there is this attachment that holding me back. I know this is the same for the other nine.
We all hope that this paranoia would nd up soon.. very very soon. As to what would be the final decision, we just hope and pray that it would be for the betterment of everybody.
So here I am.. back to bloggin.. after weeks of busy holidays... christmas and new year came... more exciting happenings happened... a lot of stories filled the end of my 2005... come 2006 now Im excited to write it all...
I may not post everything into details but here are some... *wink*
MEET AND GREET BARNEY
Sya ang favorite character ng lahat ng pamangkin at pinsan ko... so when a chance to see them perform live... Kyla, my little cousin had to be there. 1,200 buck per head = 3 hours to see Barney... hay! Just so to make these little kids happy. You just have to see other kids carrying Barney stuffs, too... and souvenir items for sale really cost too much... oh well...
since it was the first and last time that Kyla could see Barney live, tito emil make the most out of it for his bunso. After the show we headed to the mall... and found myself buying my cousins their christmas wishes... rubber shoes... haha!!! as in... kawawa naman ang card ko... naholdup nila ako!!! but its ok.. minsan lang naman e... Tsaka imagine this: Boyboy is my inaanak, Ysa is my mom's inaanak, and Kyla is my Dad's inaanak... so, anong laban ko????

2 WEDDINGS IN A ROW
It's my first time to Bicol...
I went home to my apartment Christmas night after a "christmas date" with my dad, tita myrna, dan, lyn and my pamangkins. It was planned that we have to leave 4am on the 26th for Bicol... everything was planned clear.. not until the morning next day...
Woke up 4am and called up my officemates. The plan is, they would dfetch me up on my apartment since its on the way naman. So there, I called them up... they are already at the office waiting for the others.
Well, say they might have some hangover with their Christnas celeb so to cut the story short, we left the city at 8 in the morning... hehehehe!!! so, the journey begins...
it was a 12-hour drive from Makati to Buhi, Bicol. It was the longest land travel I've had so far... and it was a tired-but-fun roadtrip... we had a 30 minutes stop over for lunch at a little canteen along Atimonan, Quezon.
We arrived there 8 in the evening. As in lahat kame e gutom na gutom na. Good thing, Allan and Rica prepared some dinner for us! :-)
The next day.. everybody was so busy for the couple's wedding. Hay! sobrang comedy and nangyari! Parang pelikula!
You can see Allan in paranoia.. as in sobrang taranta... more and more relatives are coming in especially from the bride's side and of course he wanted to make everything as perfect as it can be. Me and Les was left at the bride's house while Allan and the rest of the crew went to the hotel for his preparation...
Allan's grandparents were the ones who would escort him to the altar. They are at Naga City that day... while all the while 2 hours before the wedding called in and say they could not make it to Iriga City (where the church was) because their suppose van to use for their travel cant make it... so waht our groom did was he sent another van (the one that he is using) to pick-up his grandparents... at syempre dahil sa magulo utak nya that time, nawala sa isip nya na yung barong na susuotin nya e nasa van... he only knew it when he was about to get dressed! So ayun... last option was to look for a shop that offers rentals of barongs. At, good thing mejo late nagstart ang wedding at nakahabol ang dear grandparents... pati na rin ang totoong barong nga ating groom! *wink*
It was a wonderful wedding.. so to say..
Sad, we have to leave that night back to Makati in time for Lanie's wedding the next day. I missed all the wonderful places to see here.. but I guess it's ok.. we're here naman talaga for Allan and Rica and I know we made them happy...
So, back to a 12-hour land travel .... we left Bicol at 7pm and arrived home 3 am (buti na lang di inabot ng 12 hours...)
Lan's wedding is as perfect as it was planned... at Fernwood Gardens, with a Filipiniana motif... a well-planned program... it was so solemn and organized.
Sayang nga coz the planned avp didn't push through... because of some unexpected things...
Today... start of 2006... im here sitting wondering where am I heding for. Our work situation is kinda complicated.. wala ng INQ TV.. we don't know yet what will happen to us... still hanging and expecting for an answer.. be it good or bad..
Singapore is just there.. I know I'll be there soon... but what about today? the present? I am hoping everything would be cleared... soon...
last night, i attended the birthday celebration of ana, the executive producer of asenso pinoy (the program in where I do segment writing with) which also happened to be the christmas party of the group.
I have been with them for a month now, writing their segments and once in a while doing the editing too. This raket is a big help for me, actually, especially when the editing jobs was given to me also. Having a more spare time here at PDI helped a lot... I just don't know next year...
hmm...
Anyway.. i really felt welcomed last night... since it was the first time that I met all the staffs of the show (coz I only get to talk with mabel, mikoy, ana, and abet most of the time)... and they are all so nice!
Videoke conquered the night... bida ang magic sing! But no!!! I never sang.. I still have a bit of shyness last night... hehehe!
Anyway, there is a raffle too... It was not as big time as it is .. but its not the worth of the prizes that matters anyway.. it was the fun actually..
well i get these...
and edmark microwavable bowl sets.. oh! the mug is the show's christmas giveaway...
What can I say...
I was just glad I have them... another family to treasure...
it was a great day to smile..
after all, i knew i have the reason to do so...
i was hoping i could come to work earlier than usual, when a Serena, our agent from Globelines arrives to accomplish some stuffs for my broadband application.. yep! im going to have my broadband soon!! excited!!! yipee!!!!
she stayed at the house for like an hour, i guess.. coz she has to do some business phonecalls and stuffs while attending to me.. duh! like I almost wanted to tell her "can you do that phonecalls later coz I still have to go to work and seems like were almost done anyway?".. nah! but I know that would be very mean... I don't want to be rude.. considering she's quite nice to us anyway...
so there she was... after all that phonecalls to other clients.. now, its my turn.. and believe me.. it just took us 10 minutes to accomplish everything... and our line application will be in this coming Sunday...
oh well.. the moment she left iur house, I immediately ran and took a bath.. getting ready for work...
this is the best part of everything...
i forgot to unplug my electric cooker and i just remembered it while shampooing.. Hahaha!! so i immediately "towelled" (is there such a word?) myself and ran to the kitchen, unplug the cooker... then Serena send a message... our gate is locked so I have to run down (with my hair wet with conditioner) to open it... hah! Hello!!! im in the middle of my shower!!!!!!
Oh well.. then i headed to the bathroom again to continue my thing when suddenly I received another message... I thought, it was, again, from Serena (coz she's some kinda makulit sometimes) but when I saw my inbox with the name of the sender on it... I stood still.. surprised... smiled.. it was from the only person on my phonebook whom I placed a smiley icon with... my whole world stopped.. at that moment...
I opened the mesage... its a simple "hi"... like after 3 weeks and 2 days, he finally says "hi" again.. this time through text. It was unusual for him to send text messages coz he always calls...
yeah.. somehow it made me smile... i felt relieved that after all this time I was afraid he's not going to keep in touch again... and after our last talk.. i thought it caused some mishaps... well.. now.. i know were still fine...
I wanted to reply.. so much that I excitedly typed my message (let me keep my message to myself *wink*) but when i was sending it... my network failed... so.. my message didn't get to him. Sad....
I know and I'm waiting for his call... hopefully soon...
I also know he has lot of things to tell...
So, if ever you read this... im just here...
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas...
is how my dear Van called our date last night...
Vanny is one of my dearest best friend way back college... Like Nik, she's one of the first i knew on the first day of our freshmen year.. (well... she's actually the first one I talked to... we were the only people then on that classroom... the "early birds" hehehe!)
We've been best friends since then... but separated ways on our junior year when we take our own majors... but still, we're hanging out more often.. shared everything... chismis, problems, life... just like what friends should be...
So last night, we met up.. to update each other and to bond... for a while I haven't seen her.. she's been very busy lately that she failed to come in every gimiks me and monique had...
We had our dinner at wendy's. She wanted it there so we could talk daw. Van, I thank you for understanding the situation. It was a wonderful talk, really. Please do what I asked, ok? It would mean a lot...
anyway.. she handed me this belated happy birthday gift... a burned disc compilation of songs from "the art of letting go" album. well.. she really kew me, i guess that I really loved the cd... in time for what am i feeling right now...
and an advance merry christmas gift... a nice necklace... with purple touches in it... I liked it.. coz I can wear it with any of my clothes...
It was a great night with her. I missed her soo much... Hope the three of us (nik, van, and I) could go out sometime... back to the old dorm-apartment days... :-)
... not like i dont have a choice or something but that's my name. If only I could have the power to suggest a name for myself to my parents when they are deciding what to call me... duh!!!
oh well... here... got this from Monique, my besty ... while checking out her site.
so here i am.. blogging again..
it was a great day.. as far as i thought it would be.. not until now... well... just say, i discovered something which is, well... so UNJUSTIFIABLE!, UNFAIR!, an oh-where-did-the-basis-came-from stuff... a TOP SECRET as it is considered by those involved.. but oh... they should know that if ever that secret is knowned by everyone... it could kill them... haay... if only words could kill...
its just unfair to know that "some" of us are making our most effort to our job, doing all the hard works that we could offer..and yet "others" could just play around and sit... then eventually getting the most above everybody else...
anyhow... i believe in karma...
......
just got my new digital camera. from my dearest cousin! I love you Kuya Ernie!!! Hahaha! I picked it up last night and boy!!! it was really cool...
and then we chatted early this morning... giving him my biggest thank you... *wink*
.... just in time for the season....
now at least, I have something to smile on...
... is wonderful...
after watching this movie last night... all i can do is... smile...and feel the love inside me....
just in time for the season...
yes, yes... love is all around...
... perfect
and oh.. this part i love most...
(sorry nik.. but i have to post this pic too...just can't help it e..) *wink*
