Splurge


SPLURGE.

Because paycheck’s coming in regularly, I thought it was okay to spent some on myself.

Here’s what I got:

a jacket from People are People

2 underwear from Topman

2 shirts from Giordano

a shirt from F&X

A cap from Celio

***

I was also able to buy an ODM watch from L Time Studio

2 pairs of shoes from Happy Feet

***

Now who says money can’t buy me happiness?

(P.S., ngayon lang ito. Sa susunod na sweldo, tipid na ako, pramis.)

Out of Things

Maybe it's because I've been living life on the edge for quite some time that today, I finally felt that I'm out of things to do. Everything seems too boring. Na-experience ninyo na ba ito?

I was exchanging messages with my barkada yesterday and they kept asking me out. They were insisting that I decide on what we do, movie, drink, dinner? I'd make a suggestion, but I feel like I've had my share of this and that enough to last me a week. Everything seems boring. Life is boring. Even work, at times, gets me bored.

Speaking of work, I finally got the rhythm of what I'm doing. It is only the involvement of other people that gets me in trouble. See? Boring. I was on teleprompter mode yesterday, waaay boring. I know I could do better than being a teleprompter guy, but hey, it saves me from doing production errands though. Why complain?

I've been sitting beside different DTI representatives during taping, and I really hate it when they ask me about the mechanics of the game. Weren't they sent to observe whether the game complies with the rules? So why ask me? Eh kung mali pala sabihin ko, kasalanan ko pa? I hope they come in prepared. And they comment too much too. They don't acknowledge the time and effort that people like me have put in this production.

Well, that's just me for today, good ol bored me.

I'm bored, with a paycheck waiting to be spent. What do I do? AHHAHAHAH

Marathen (conyo version)


So I ran my first official fun run my entire life this morning, and it felt awesome to finish it. It was a 3K run for the Chiang Kai Shek's 65th anniversary, and I was invited to join. I've been consistently invited to join runs like this, but this was the first time I said yes well because someone else paid for it! ahah! FREE-Bee! (user-me. boooooo!)

Being an amateur at this, I chose the event with the shortest distance. 3K. Since I stopped smoking some three weeks ago, I thought running for this event will finally put my quitting to good use. ahahah! I was reluctant at first mainly because, it's CKS, not my alma mater! But when I found out later that most, if not all, of the chinese schools in the country gathered to support this event, I became more excited, and supportive.

The participants' turnout was quite overwhelming all the same. I believe more than a thousand people graced the event, majority were of course part of the chinese community. A raffle ended the event, trip for two to Boracay, Hongkong and whathaveyou. With the number of participants, even before the race, I have already accepted my fate- "hindi ako uuwing luhaan". This, in the context of being able to finish the 3K run and feel like a winner, even without the raffle prize.


PHOTO FLOODING AHEAD>>>


This got me really excited, knowing that I'm on the right track! ahah! (para namang maliligaw ako!)

Well, that's one thing off my bucket list. Thank you Lord for giving me more opportunities each day! =) I love You!

On Cover Songs



Bored and with too much time to spare, I was clicking on Youtube and landed Kings of Leon cover songs, then to Lady Gaga, and so on. I've been posting a lot of videos on Youtube a few years back, when I was still into making Vlogs about my trips with friends. But when my half-brother crashed my video camera, I stopped and lost enthusiasm.

Well now, I wanna get my camera fixed. And maybe I'll upload one cover song or two. I just need to find someone who'd play the guitar for me, and we could sing a song together. It would be cool to get many hits, no?
