it's a happy day :)

last week, strong words were exchanged between me and a friend... turned out, we misunderstood each other a lot regarding her current relationship with someone...

personally, as long as she's happy and the relationship doesn't get in the way of work, i'm okay with it... i was happy for her, yes, but not ecstatic as she thought i'd be... i mean, come on, i saw it coming... with all her stories (told with too much details until i told her i didn't want to hear much about it anymore) about how the guy made her fall for him, when they became "official", the element of surprise just wasn't there... how could i be ecstatic?

in short, we had a spat about it and it wasn't good... not so Iya...

we both uttered words which both stabbed our sensitive innards! we bled, yes, and that day, we didn't talk to each other.

the next day, i explained myself in an e-mail (it had a lot of cuts so as not to stab her more) that's supposed to expire a day after reading... i told her that what i said was uncalled-for.. blah blah blah... i didn't see her that day... maybe she was sick.

we didn't talk after that... but i invited her to lunch everyday... using an instant messaging program, one day we went like "we're going to have lunch, are you hungry?" "no, i just had breakfast, thank you" "ok, we'll go ahead"... SOOOO FORMAL and SOOOO NOT NORMAL!

yesterday, i was "kakain kami... sama ka?" "no, kakakain ko lang, thanks" "okay"... BETTER, MUCH BETTER!

anyway... a week has passed since our lunch incident/argument...

i spoke to her casually a few times... it's been like this for a few days... she has been holding back... because she was hurt maybe, but i didn't want to bear grudges so i went like usual, just less crazy: invited her for lunch, relayed phone messages...

then... this afternoon... a message pops in my screen "penge chocoflakes"... thank God for chocoflakes! hahaha

gave her what she asked for... even had to stand up to get the container from another friend's work area... anyway... next message from her was this:
"thank you......... and i hate you"

true, i knew it... i did all i could for her not to hate me and left her all the choice...
with a smile, i typed in and sent her "i know"...

and we shared a laugh! that sure made my day! maybe there still isn't 100% peace on warland but there is hope.

and most of all... i'm glad she hated me... she hated me for bringing in something she couldn't resist, chocolates! she hated me more for that than for what happened... she hated me for bringing in something that would make her not hate me as much as she wanted to...

with a smile, i told her through an IM that she has to resist chocolates tomorrow for I have more at home and i certainly would be bringing that tomorrow!

she told me that she missed me...
and though she also called me "adik!", i'm perfectly fine, because that's the closest thing to normal than it has been in a week.
i'm happy!

happy, happy, happy... peace has come... all because i have entrusted this to God...

siomai... Fare increase ‘inevitable’ -- LTFRB

shux, if kaya lang, lalakarin ko pa-office, pero malayo... lagi na ko nagbabus, pero mukhang tataas ng todo ang pamasahe ko nito... pag umabot ng bandang P40 a day, baka ikahinayang ko, pero ano bang kaya kong gawin? hindi ko naman na ma-take magMRT... mas mabilis, malamang mas mura, pero!!! marami na ngang magnanakaw, siksikan pa sobra, na parang hindi na naplantsa ang damit mo pagpasok ng office.

HAINAKUUUUUU

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20080704-146446/UPDATE-Fare-increase-inevitable

EXCERPT:
Piston called for an P8.50 fare for jeepneys for the first four kilometers and P1.50 for the succeeding kilometers.

ATOMM is calling for an additional P10 to the final rate of taxis.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila buses are asking for a P12 fare for the first four kilometers and P2.15 for the succeeding kilometers for regular buses, and P14.50 for the first four kilometers and P3 for succeeding kilometers for air conditioned buses.

happy!!! :) ... pero, naloloka na ata ako

I started the day at the office kind of unsure of what to do... Not that I didn't have work, but... today the bosses are gone and there's an unspoken rule called "PEPSI day"...

Excerpt from a colleague's email:
P - Pauwiin nang maaga ang staff.
E - Enjoy your movie
P - Pindot pindot your Friendster all day long
S - Snack time sa area o sa 9th floor without time limit; and
I - Iuwi ang laptop.. hep hep.. hindi para magwork.. kundi para
mag-games, manood ng DVD or VCD..
But really, PEPSI day came from this Pepsi tagline way back when:
"THE CHOICE IS YOURS"

And yes... am in jeans, though I brought a pair of office pants just in case I have to work at the client's office or in case someone scolds me for inappropriate office attire.

Yung mga taga-audit at taga-tax, all casual... pero dito sa advisory, ilang lang ang naglakas-loob magpaka-pasaway kasi!

Yup, I feel so much like a pasaway right now! Yung isang partner in crime ko, nagpalit na ng pants!

-----------------------------------------

Anyway, I visited an online-networking account (one of the many I have to keep in contact with so many people all over the world, I personally know most of them... it's my Friendster account that's a bit messed up, I did not get to know Andres Bonifacio personally! Promise!) and there was this one scrap that made me happy for unknown reasons...

Basta!

Who could ever imagine that orange juice could make you happy?! Hehe... ang saya kasi nung photo ko na may orange juice taken at La Luz Resort, Batangas... summer-y.


Anyway... I checked my homepage on the same online-networking site and saw that I forgot to edit some photos I uploaded! Jusko! It had me writing some stuff on the sand... stuff not in our usual alphabet (yep, am not referring to vocab... alphabet... as in chinese, japanese, greek, basta not our usual ABCs)... Naalala ko lang na di ko na naasikaso nung nakita kong may comments! Talaga naman... na-impress sila kahit na pangalan ko yun at 2 characters lang yun... Pero! Waaaaah, inupload ko pala yun dun?!

Hai naku...

I feel weird.

I'm happy because of orange juice and I'm embarassed because of sand.
