I Quit!
Wow. It’s been quite a while since I wrote anything in here. And I don’t think anyone really cares… myself included. But so many things had happened during my hiatus from the world. I guess the biggest news would be my resignation. I guess I’m a work in progress. I promised myself that resignation. That’s the least I could do to start my year right.
I guess the only logical explanation for my resignation would be boredom. I needed to break the monotony. It’s not something I like doing but there are days that I just feel compelled to do so.
I’ve completely given up hope on her stopping me from leaving. And even if she did, I’d still leave. I just think it’ll be a nice farewell gift so to speak. And to be honest, I really don’t care that much anymore. Maybe I’ve gotten over her already. Then again, what do I know?
I just wish there’s something better out there for me. I don’t really know what direction I’m throwing myself at. All I know is that I don’t want to stay here anymore.

Hey Big Spender
I never thought I’d say this but here it goes… I’m having problems with spending money. Actually, it’s more like I’m having trouble deciding on what to spend it on. I’ve been making this imaginary list of things I want to buy already arranged from the top priority to the least. By priority, it doesn’t mean that these objects are a must buy but they will make me feel a whole lot better. It’s nice to spend that hard earned cash and spoil yourself with something you’ve been craving for all year.
Here are some of the things I plan on buying (in no particular order):
1. A Sony PSP
Being the loser that I am (and the fact that I am committed to other financial obligations), I haven’t been able to buy this handy little thing. But this December I’m expecting money to knock on my door (thank you 13th month pay). So now, I could afford to buy one. I’m the kind of person who gets bored pretty easily. And also, I’m not the kind of person who could wait patiently for someone. So having something like a PSP could keep me pre-occupied with something.
I’ve been wanting to play a new RPG for sometime now and with a PSP, I could once again walk through an alternate reality.
2. A Digital Camera
Not that I don’t have one, I just wanted a camera of my own. You see, I do have a camera but I share it with my brother and sister. I’d like to have a camera so that I wouldn’t have to battle it out with them everytime I plan to use it. As destiny would have it, my plans often end up happening on the same day as theirs so it’s a free for all fightfest as to who gets the privilege of using the cam. As for whoever ends up with nothing better pray that they have a good memory for that’s all they’re gonna have to remember the event by.
I’m thinking along the lines of Powershot or Cybershot.
3. A Laptop
Asus had released a new line of laptops called Asus Eee PC or something. I’ve seen the thing in person and I liked what I saw. And what I liked even more is the price. It could fit my budget assuming I sacrifice a little. I really don’t use the computer that often unless I’m working. So this doesn’t really top my list. But it’s a cool thing to have. And like I said, the price is cheap so I’d like to take my chances with this one.
Don’t get the wrong idea. I ain’t no rich kid. But I did manage to save some money and I don’t see why I couldn’t spend it on what I want. There are more things on that list but those three for me would have to be the top candidates at this time.
Last year I bought a new Nokia cellphone with what I earned. Last August to September I managed to buy an MP3 player by Philips. This December should be no different. I just can’t wait.

Can’t Wait To Quit
Today I’m feeling rather lamer than usual. Aside from surprise out-of-the-blue messages I got, I had nothing to be happy about. On this day however, I felt what I were to miss should I decide to really leave the company I work for and start anew somewhere else. Let me see.
There are my friends for one. I couldn’t have stayed in this company should there be no other slaves like myself around. They made the stay here bearable. Then of course there’s the money I earn. What I earn is just enough to get me by but where I’m headed, I’m going to start from scratch which isn’t a good thing. I am however thinking long term. I know there’ll come a time where I’ll get what I deserve through hard work and kissing ass.
I’m going to miss the 7 AM to 4 PM schedule that I’ve got. It’s a nice schedule though a bit early for a person like me. I’ll miss the regular work schedule because from this point on, I’m gonna have to be on the go all the time. I’m looking forward to losing weight after I quit this job because I shall no longer sit in a cubicle with my workstation looking like a damn buffet table filled with junk food and all those stuff I shouldn’t be eating.
But of course there are also the things I wouldn’t miss like the complicated work load that’s being dumped on me. The irritating miscalculation of my salary. The damn “visits” we get from corrupt officials.
I need a breath of fresh air from all of this. That’s why this resignation would do me good. It’ll be nice to get away from this place. Given, I will miss certain people and things from here on out. But I’ll be able to start my whole career again. Be able to establish what I really could do. I’ll be able to find the path I’ve always wanted.
I’m not so sure anymore as to what path I want to take in life but I sure as hell know I won’t find it here.

Last Saturday I was able to watch 28 Weeks Later and was thinking what if that film took place in this country. Will there be survivors? Can we withstand a zombie infestation? It only took me 5 seconds to realize that we wouldn’t stand a chance. Why?
1. I live in a country where the former president was a former actor turned politician with no credibility to be president other than he killed a lot of bad guys in the movies he starred in. Clearly this country had been overpopulated with stupid people. We stand no chance against zombies.
2. Most Filipinos would only rely on Manny Pacquiao to beat all the zombies up. Manny wouldn’t do that. He only beats up Mexicans. He might be able to kill them by singing though.
3. Our military would be busy arresting media men and women.
4. People in Makati are busy with their own problems (coup de etat, mall “bombings”…).
5. Our tanks couldn’t even run over the main doors of a hotel.
6. You can’t stop a zombie invasion with People Power.
7. People would all be tuned in to Marimar by night time. Zombies would be chewing down their necks and they’d still be glued on the TV screens.
8. The long line at FX and Jeepney terminals would take up some valuable evacuation time.
I could think of other reasons but it’s time for me to work my ass off again. Working for the company I’m in now doesn’t make me so different from any zombie. See the irony?
In a country like the Philippines, people wouldn’t even last 28 seconds.

The Weird Ass Dream
Oh I just love my monochromatic WordPress layout. I just thought I mention that.
Anyway, it’s 12 noon and I’m dead bored. Actually, I just woke up. I stayed up until the wee hours of this morning. My body said I should sleep but my mind had other ideas. It didn’t take long before I was able to force my way into sleeping though. I guess my mind’s way of punishing me for sleeping against his will would be giving me the creepiest dream I’ve had in years. Well, it’s the creepiest one I could remember.
I had to sleep in a cemetery inside of a cave for the rest of my life because my principal said so. I was with some guy who looked like Chito Miranda from Parokya Ni Edgar, Sol (a former college classmate) and some other fellas I couldn’t remember (more like don’t want to remember). I couldn’t remember how the story started or how it ended.
So just who is buried in this cemetery in this little dream of mine? Our principal locked us in the cave with the remains of The Undertaker (as in the WWE superstar).
God… that must have been the strangest dream ever. My sweat was ice cold when I woke up. Creepy… I don’t know how I plan to spend the day. I do have plans already so at least I have something to look forward to. But knowing myself, my plans are only as bright as my future. Meaning in a matter of hours, my plans would already be in ruins.
I just hope things work out for me today. I could really use a good time.
