tiring day

Since I arrived home yesterday earlier than the usual, no traffic at all, I went ahead and work, only to find out that I will just be stressing myself on the phone and YM talking to someone. That was the last misery I promised myself, that I will ever experience and I won't let anyone to do the same.

I have found myself fixing at around 10 pm, preparing to have another WI-FI sessions somewhere(hadn't planned for anywhere to spend the night). I was riding a bus last night and I heard a very familiar song playing on the background--that is our freakin OA theme song! arrrgh! I couldn't hide shedding tears while on the public transport, remembering those lines --- "...hinahati ko ang time ko sa yo at sa kanila(friends)"

..."hindi sila ganun kadaling iwan..."

I am very familiar with breaking up with someone while having a third party relationship. O yeah, that was third party/ies... I cannot compete with friends.

I went ahead and walked to coffee bean but changed my mind seeing someone wearing a Davao shirt. I crossed the street and started walking to, once again, McDonald's.

I was on the lane and asked the crew if the WI-FI is on. She said it's down for maintenance--for the nth time. I asked another crew from the counter, near the store manager so she could hear me, if I can go online, and this time, she said, the WI-FI is on. I continued with my order, which I anticipated I wouldn't finish because of this planned hunger strike.

my diet for the night

I was connected to the server, howerver, I couldn't connect to the internet. Sinasabi ko na nga ba! So I opted eating my 6-pc super kunat na nuggets, when someone called "Meeeeeeeed" Huh??! I rushed eating and packed my laptop and walked to Starbucks. Phew, I ordered a small cup of half and half since I was still full at that time. While I was taking upstairs, there are coupla law students from Lyceum doing a group study, crowding the place. I tried concentrating but I think last night was the most unlikely, unlucky night that I could get.

...calculators, piled math books and totally the same finding Nemo print on a shirt!

I was getting very lucky!! I left the place, really frustrated. I went to Seattle's Best, checked if there were some signs that I could avoid -- none. I started unpacking my laptop, once again, and smoked...when my phone rang.

Shit happens and it just happened to me. I went to the counter and ordered a cold frappe and started working.

Mocha Javakula to keep me awake

And I tortured myself by continously talking, and finishing everything. I couldn't explain how hurt I was but I didn't really care if the guard kept looking at me while shedding tears. That might be the last teardrop for the night. I am tired.

non-friendly WIFI spot

The other night, I stopped at McDonald's Valero again to connect to the internet, hoping that the WIFI is up at that time. Good thing it was. I didn't order at once, looked for the manager and asked if the WI-FI is working. Lo and behold, it was.

I starved myself from being home at 3:30 in the afternoon, went out to have my glasses fixed and had my nails done and ate 4 pcs. of Master Siomai. I tried to sleep, gosh I tried, after watching coupla episodes of Diva from the internet, facebooking and chatting with *toot* and oh, I really couldn't get my eyes closed at 6pm!

I woke up at 10 in the evening(I didn't even know if I really fell asleep long) and fixed myself, sweating because of the everlasting sauna fever at home and outside.

I was thinking about having Starbucks as my first stop but darn, my 29 year old anaconda in my belly was shouting heavily that it was really on a hunger strike.

now a 1 pc fried chicken meal, I didn't even bother to start my laptop first :P

I turned my laptop on while eating and started enjoying their super fast WI-FI. It's really fast that I could multi-task forever..

Enjoying too much wasn't enough. I asked a crew if they have power outlets when I noticed that my battery is half full. I was really amazed to find out that they don't. This is so so not friendly spot.

I have been wi-fiing since then to other hot spots that offer free service and they have power outlets. This time, my work plans won't work anymore because anytime my battery will go dead.

phew... too much rants for the day. Best things in life are free they say, but being an expected commenter, overly-abusive and a freakin customer like me, free services have a catch.. this time, I was caught with an hour worklog for the week to complete it. (angry sweep)

im f'd up or mcdo wi-fi was?

I decided to start working today wherever I found WIFI signal, unfortunately my first stop wasn’t that successful. I was here in McDonald’s Valero, no internet access due to internet signal failure. Heyyy lowww!!! I learned this after ordering medium-sized French fries, 6 pieces nuggets and a medium coke, now, how can I leave the place with this anti-diet gastro food?


here’s my diet, watch me as I gain more weight every night, ok?


After my homework logged for about an hour, I slept until 11pm(with matching tawad pa twice since I set the alarm at 10 :P). It is really a fucked up schedule since it changes every two weeks. And yeah, my shift this week is as early as 3:15 am and I freakin woke up at around 11pm. You asked me why would I wake up at 11 when my shift is at 3? Tell me about it, strayed dogs are chasing me all night. I’ll take a picture of chasing dogs when I get my camera repaired(and yes, I’ll try to leave home at wee hours like 1am or so and be chased).

Now my decision of continuing to work here in Mc Donald’s is messed up. I NEED INTERNET ACCESS!. And right now, I’m killing time, sleepy eating my at-this-time 3 pcs. Nuggets, and half fries and no-more ice matabang na coke, while listening to my mp3 with my orange bug headset. I am totally fucked up because of this. And I am wondering about the 3 hour-training later, I will definitely sleep.

It looks like that my blog will be alive once again if there will be no internet access and share my food trip with everyone.

checklist

Onset of the year, I have updated this blog with an overrated 2010 resolution. Let's find out if it happened, or it was achieved...

Let me copy the resolution I have written few months back..
1. I will be filing a resignation when I came back from vacation. Hopefully before I do that, I already have found a better job that will not discriminate rights.

2. I will be fixing my finances. It is hard to move within a budget, thinking some bills and some responsibilities without anything on my pocket. But I need to start thinking how I could earn more than the usual. I am afraid of losing a lot this year, job, my crib, my almost broken phone, my internet connection..but I am still hopeful I can get a remedy for it.

3. I am anticipating of celebrating my birthday quietly. Like I said, I would need to think about some financial responsibilities first before thinking about myself more. And I hope by next month, everything will turn into normal.

4. I will be in Davao by vacation. I don't plan for any travel this year. But I don't think a travel to one destination isn't bad at all.

5. Amber will celebrate her 7th birthday this year, so I need to plan for her birthday. ;)

Let's take a review one by one....

1. I will be filing a resignation when I came back from vacation. Hopefully before I do that, I already have found a better job that will not discriminate rights.

hmmm, I filed a resignation after my vacation. It was unexpected but time made it happened. I found a better job/s..which I also learned that call center isn't the end job at all. A stepping stone for many? yes it is. the training, the people and the concept behind it, helped me achieved who I am now. I can now decide freely, choose whichever job and whatever time I want to work. Now I am ready to leave the call center industry and start my freelance homework anytime =)

2. I will be fixing my finances. It is hard to move within a budget, thinking some bills and some responsibilities without anything on my pocket. But I need to start thinking how I could earn more than the usual. I am afraid of losing a lot this year, job, my crib, my almost broken phone, my internet connection..but I am still hopeful I can get a remedy for it.

I never thought that after the financial crisis that hit the stockmarket, I was left shocked sipping my starbucks coffee that I thought I will replace with 3-in-1 Nescafe from then. I never did imagine that I could find a reliable buyer at times that I am almost totally broke. Now, finances are fixed. I can move without the budget and I am free of any financial responsibilities.

3. I am anticipating of celebrating my birthday quietly. Like I said, I would need to think about some financial responsibilities first before thinking about myself more. And I hope by next month, everything will turn into normal.

uhmmm, how did i celebrate my birthday again??? any thoughts? nakalimutan ko na ata. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I had an ice cream blast in 24/7 with co-workers. Simple, yet fun!

4. I will be in Davao by vacation. I don't plan for any travel this year. But I don't think a travel to one destination isn't bad at all.
Yes it recently happened. Things usually happened when unplanned. I had a blast ;)

5. Amber will celebrate her 7th birthday this year, so I need to plan for her birthday. ;)
This will be reserved for November. I think I'll start planning it after the enrollment.

Whew. I am loving my list. It is almost finished and I probly think of some other plans to work out with.. oh yes, work out! (wink)
