Spottings

Major update? Hardly.

I just needed to go on and be habitual about blogging. This entry in particular isn't something grand.

Again, just because.

On Thanksgiving Day we argued on the validity of the phrase "long nap". Being the frustrated grammar Nazi that I am, it was I who said that controversial word pair to Ge. I know I'm not going down without a fight, or at least concluding it was "ok" to use it. Harold said that there are short naps, but anything longer than that is considered sleep, or...just a regular nap. Wikipedia defines a power nap as a short nap lasting for 15-30 minutes. I define long naps to be lasting 31-59 minutes. Anything above that is actual sleep. Eh! Prove me wrong.

Our AM Cluster literally has 5 days to complete a dance presentation. I never really put up something as messed-up as this but with people you can use, I'll survive it.

Somebody told me that I suck at being a boss. Well, there you go, my first taste of flaming. Do I care? Not quite. Did it hurt? The choice of words did. Did it bother me? Try again. If I'm a useless sup, then you're a useless employee. You're not gonna mess with me and not get the horns. Good riddance.

Now, I can safely say that I'm passive-aggressive. Dayuum, I hardly lash back or confront, though I get a lot of reversions, glares and blames. Strangely, how I react is nothing short of...cold. Cause and effect: you caused this effect.

Shouldn't be blogging in the first place but damn, things come up and all of a sudden plans are flushed down. Sad, but there's no other option. Tomorrow will come.

So, is this a major update? Hah! You don't know sh!t. These are nothing but red spots on a sanitary napkin.

Something beautiful is here somewhere.

Talent Portion

That is probably the first time I ever had that status. There isn't really much to say; just read: it's complicated.

Rewind to early this year, when I really had nothing...no one. Just plain being dormant. Tried opening a few cans. Hmmm...some would look exquisite on the outside but would smell like rotten calamari from the tin. Come to think of it, it's not shopping - no one's a grocery item.

Re-packaging - oh how I love that term! It doesn't work in this case. Stuff had to be unraveled. One thing I learned from the whole dating crapola: your clothes can only bring you somewhere.

And now it is like I'm blessed but I'm being punished at the same time. I might be filling the whole alphabet soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not liking it. There are things that I'm really sure of right now and I can tell pointblank. Do I need to spit it out? Yes.

One thing's definitely certain, I'm lost, but I am NOT CONFUSED.

Somebody win me.

Washed Out Colors for Halloween

I've always fancied dressing up; be it in the simplest of events or at parties. This activity has always been a welcome escape for me from this bothersome life. If you happen to roam around my photos here at Friendster, you'll definitely know how much of a chameleon I am. Well, maybe not that much, but you know what I mean.

I was intending to let Halloween pass without me getting 'costumed' for the holiday. But I can't help it - I simply had to come up with something. Mind you, this occured to me the day before the event in the office. So something simple yet striking has to be thought of and buy the sh!t, stat! Powder and a magician costume came to mind, but those aren't really "stand-out". And then, a light bulb flashed.

All that needed to be done is to purchase two and a half yards of fabric and chunky Buddha beads and Voila!, instant Dalai Lama. No nasty make-up necessary, I just had to complete the act by walking around the cubicles barefoot. I still never won Best in Costume though -  I don't have the nuts to humiliate myself a pinch more, haha! It was definitely delightful to be noticed and sometimes made fun of, in a good way. I know they just appreciate my guts. It's just crap that this event was not really a full-blown costume party, so I guess that's the reason I didnt prepare for it much. Another factor that contributes to my ever-growing pains in the office.
