Inuman at 8:30am

Has been a really long and stressful week, a week which involves reading a training manual 2 inches thick with topics on equity, stocks and various nosebleed-inducing info. Then a 4-hour exam which we need to pass because if we failed it we won't be able to keep our jobs. pramis. mas matindi pa siya sa Board Exams pagdating sa pressure. And I haven't studied like this since college. Kamusta naman I have to make a huge EFFORT to make the gears in my brain turn again.

After the exam, off to KFC (as usual... KFC at McDo lang naman ang murang kainan na bukas ng 3AM) and I was feeling quite *unburdened* dahil wohoo tapos na ang lecheng exam at siguro naman sa 100 items na yun eh pasado naman ako kahit papano.

After the exam, we checked our papers then may nagyaya ng Carafe. At 6:30am. Ok lang. But at the back of my mind parang "Ano ba to, kain lang ba to or inuman? Bukas ba yun ng ganitong oras???"

Carry lang so after 2 hours (we had to wait for some people who were helping TL fix some test papers), off we went to Carafe and nagulat ako kasi at 8:30am, the place was packed, and I was expecting that the people were having breakfast with coffee or whatever... pero there they are... buckets of beer and pulutan, namumula na sa kalasingan (at sa init, open kasi yung lugar).

I wanted to take a picture kaso nahiya ako dyahe naman wahehehe. Some of us were really hungry so Vince, Nino and I (naksssss... officemates!!!) ordered tapsilog... and beer. Almusal! Then KB ordered more buckets of beer because her birthday is coming up but we're supposed to keep it a secret. By 9:30am, I was really really sleepy (it's way past my bedtime). Mga kabadingan nalang ng mga kaibigan kong bakla ang nagpapagising sakin.

Then Mom called around 10:30am "nagpapanic" kung nasan ako dahil tanghali na wala pa ako. Haller! HALLER!!!

Then pauwi mga 12nn, super traffic sa expressway. Midway from Bicutan to Sucat I realized that it has been a LOOONG time since lumabas ako ng nakatirik ang araw at ang INIT INIT!!!

Paguwi super sleepy, borlogs agad wala nang keme keme. It's 9pm. And I just woke up.
:P

Tarot for tyrelle

	The card not shown but at the center of the cross, represents the atmosphere surrounding the central issue. Knight of Swords: The essence of air behaving as fire, such as a tornado: A fearless and skillful warrior, unfettered by emotion or material concerns. One able to boldly take on challenges that others consider terrifying or insurmountable. A person who inspires fear and awe through the purity of their purpose and the intensity of their intellect. Speaking frankly, in an outspoken manner, and with great influence. May portend the swift initiation or conclusion of a conflict, through the decisive invocation of force.
	The card visible at the center of the cross represents the obstacle that stands in your way - it may even be something that sounds good but is not actually to your benefit. Knight of Wands: The essence of fire, such a great conflagration. One filled with vitality and passion for life. A sexy and exciting person, daring in their actions, cocky in their attitude, and utterly without fear. Absolute sincerity, coupled with violent emotions that swing wildly from one extreme to another. Boundless creativity and lust for a change of both pace and place. The rapid approach, or more likely departure, of something that sets your world ablaze. Often suggests travel or escape.
	The card at the top of the cross represents your goal, or the best you can achieve without a dramatic change of priorities. Two of Swords (Peace): Contradictory characteristics brought together as a means of resolving a conflict. Refusing to be ruled by negative emotions. Strife brought to a close through clarity of mind and restraint of force. Turning a blind eye to the minor infractions of others.
	The card at the bottom of the cross represents the foundation on which the situation is based. The Sun: A time of contentment and freedom from restraints. Creative inspiration. Achievement, success, and warmth. Light and love in personal or business matters. Happiness and faithfulness in a relationship.
	The card at the left of the cross represents a passing influence or something to be released. Temperance, when reversed: Lack of restraint and self-control. Losing one's cool. Energies dispersed through conflicts in personal, business, and spiritual matters.
	The card at the right of the cross represents an approaching influence or something to be embraced. The Devil, when reversed: Resistance of temptation. Freedom from bondage. The pursuit of higher goals despite the influence of luxury and pleasure. Release from obsession with money and power. Liberation from fear, weakness and indecision through communion with higher powers or the inner voice.

Lawsuits and prosecutions. Unjust decisions and the consequences of those decisions. A turn for the worse in legal matters.

Setting goals and a vision for the future. Coming to grips with the impact of past decisions, considering the current state of affairs, and developing a plan of action. Responsible leadership.
	The card second from the top of the staff represents your hopes, fears, or an unexpected element that will come into play. Seven of Cups (Temptation), when reversed: Daydreams and fantasies brought into realistic focus. The contemplation of many options leading to a conclusive choice. Inner clarity that dissipates illusions and false choices. Remaining connected to reality in the face of intoxication, delirium, or hallucination. Under rare and extreme circumstances, may indicate the failure to recognize a transcendental spiritual truth.
	The card at the top of the staff represents the ultimate outcome should you continue on this course. Ace of Wands, when reversed: The seed of a new crisis - perhaps as yet unseen. The start of an explosive situation threatening to consume all who get too close. The herald of birth, invention, or upheaval. An innate and primal force unleashed. May suggest a surge of vitality, creativity, or fertility that can set dang

Culture Shock

first thing that comes to mind about this job is the fact that Ishtel and I now have the same sleeping patterns except she lives on the other side of the globe.

but there is one interesting thing about this new job that i forgot to write about. i have heard stories of the culture in this industry but it is entirely different to experience it first hand.

everyone is either gay, lesbian, separated, single but has kids, married but having an affair, or technically single but is having an affair with someone who is married. and no one is talking about it behind their backs making chismis because it's the norm. everyone is doing it. it's NORMAL.

so the training starts and everyone is required to introduce themselves.

"Hi, my name is ___, I am 35 years old and separated by choice."

"My name is ____, I am 26 years old. I am married with 2 kids from 2 different mothers." (this is the guy who everyone says took up Buntistry in college.)

"Hi, my name is _____, I am single not by choice and I hope not by destiny." (oy hindi ako 'to ha!) *defensive*

"Hi my name is ____, I am married not by choice and I am bald by destiny." (wahehhee)

"Hi my name is _____, I am 25 years old, I have 2 kids from 2 different fathers. My kids are 10 and 5 years old." (o diba nablanko ang utak ko sa pagcompute)

i know this isn't supposed to be a big deal, i have encountered people with these issues lots of times in my life but to experience them all in one place, hell in one room even, is enough to make me stop and think. and mind you, they introduce themselves this way, not particularly proud of it, but they are saying it because it is part of who they are.

and to think that i only know a few people (been here for two weeks pa lang), and i already know some "interesting" stuff about them. kamusta naman yun!

i'm not judging anyone, im just expressing the thought that I was overwhelmed. Yun nga. It was Culture Shock.

"My name is Tyrelle, 29 years old. single." tapos.

"Really? You don't look 29."

In fairness!!!
:P

it's 5am

and i can't sleep. been missing sleeping in total darkness (no sun) the past week and now that it's here, i can't sleep. have to attend mass at 10:30am later and a neighbor is coming over to check out some computers after lunch so i need to sleep!!!

one sheep... two sheep...
*it's not working*

long week

so damn tired, just got home, just survived my first week of being on night shift. forever na nga pala to walang shifting ek ek na one day ay magiging pang umaga ako. gudlak.

so far, napakabilis mag-adapt ng katawan ko sa pang gabi, wednesday pa lang dilat na dilat nako ng madaling araw habang my contemporaries (na matagal na nagpapanggabi) eh namumula na ang mga mata sa antok. bampira talaga ako.

nag-eenjoy ako dito pramis. andami kasing bakla. wahehhe...

ano pa ba kwento... naghahanap ako ng online sa YM at this ungodly hour ngunit lahat ng tao ay tulog pa. Haror are you up??? Ishtel??

good morning!

oo nga pala may topak pa ren ang Globe sa Paranaque. Sa Makati lang ako pwede magtext =/

drugs

TL: Are you drugs?
Me: No, I'm not drugs (while gazing at the sunrise with weary eyes).

*me at 6am, been awake for about 20 hours. i just survived my first night shift*

lousy globe and mga peste sa buhay

I have trouble sending and receiving text messages via Globe yesterday and today.

Lousy.

What the hell is going on here?

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

Had a very stressful day yesterday. Released the stress today in the garden. Until I discovered really gross creatures hiding in the plants.

There were COUNTLESS higad on the plants!! EEWWW!!! Large, black, spiny, unsuspecting things... just thinking about it makes me shudder. ("Countless" meant I saw around 4 or 5 tapos yung iba singtaba pa ng thumb eeeewww!!!! :-P )

Then I tried to repot this plant Avee and I bought in BL... and I saw COUNTLESS giant earthworms twisting in the soil!!! **barf** ("Countless" here is 4 to 5 big fat earthworms **barf**)

kadireeeee!!!!

Then I tried to trim one of my euphorbias (mga anak ni Tammy) then there was this wasp who would face me whichever way I go while guarding her paper nest. Aba sinunog ko ang nest niya. Then i killed the insect. Eew.


*shudder shudder shudder*

enjoy

Training...

We were in the middle of a discussion and the trainer remembered a particular movie scene, but couldn't remember what the title of the movie was. He turns to my friend Kiko (my first office friend who happened to be... you guessed it... gay.)

Trainer: "What movie was that? Where Brad Pitt starred as Achilles?"
Kiko: "Um... Trojan?"
Me *looks at Kiko weirdly*: "Troy!"
Kiko: Oh yeah! (then shakes his head while mumbling to himself) "what the hell was i thinking...."
Me *throws back head to laugh out LOUD*

:P


later....

Me: "It's like blooming where you are planted."
Trainer: "That's deep." (looks at the class) "Do you think you are all flowers?"

*silence*

Kiko *frowns*: No, I'm not a flower!

............... I'm a butterfly!!!"

:D

This is me:

Kamukha ko ba? hehe

the gates are open

At this point, I dont think there would be any problem if ever someone happens to stumble upon this blog. wahehehe *cross fingers*

the company encourages creativity and diversity anyway. i even have a classmate from training who can't wait to buy shoes from me even if she hasn't seen any of my designs hehe.

*cheers!*

opportunities

so damn tired but i promised myself earlier to write a post about this.

I just realized that i have missed a lot of great opportunities because i listened to other people.

I tried applying to this company before but did not pursue it because i was worried what my friends and co-workers (then) would think. during that time, if I had just listened to ME, who knows? I could be way, way successful right now.

It's just that sometimes these people, no matter how dear and precious, can't always be right. and worse, sometimes these dear and precious people might not be so dear and precious 5 years from now after all. or they could still be dear and precious but sometimes they are just plain wrong.

And just because they have strong opinions about some things doesn't mean that they are right. Don't work in a call center because you are an engineer. How can you be a shoe designer, i thought you were an engineer? In a relationship, the guy should always be older than the girl. You should be designing these kinds of shoes. You should just take up design as a hobby. You shouldn't be in customer service because you don't smile a lot. You shouldn't accept this opportunity because there *might* be a contract, even if it means being trained to do your job better. Don't eat pecho because it's got too much calories. You should be working in the family business.

So their opinions don't really matter.

It all really boils down to YOU.

Took me 8 years to figure that out.

HAGGARD!!!!

Im beginning to lose weight and i'm getting really stressed out because of this new job.

nakakapagod pota.

the reason? it's the commute going home. dahil sa one way na service road ng sucat bicutan. yun lang. plus ang hirap sumakay ng bus sa ortigas.
