last day

it's the last day of my work for my part time job today. i was informed that the work will resume next year due to some reasons regarding the adjustment of time in russia. my boss told me that she can no longer accommodate the work because it will mean that she will sleep at 4 or 5am manila time.

it's just sad that my stint here is short lived. i just need to look for a new part time job. sayang yung 2 months na mababakante ako. hehehe...

night out

i had a chance to have dinner with my good friend last night. out of the blue, she texted me and asked me if we can meet up because it was her off and she was so bored. i agreed because i have not seen her for a long time and it's my off the next day so it was fine. the truth is i am planning to have coffee after my shift on that same day.

while eating, we talked about our lives and caught up with the things that had happened to each other.

our conversation just made me realize that she is going through pretty much the same things that i do. like problems with her family and the society's pressure of getting married because as they say, "we are of age to tie the knot." it's just funny because we both have almost the same point of views on both issues and we are both problematic about our brothers. hehehe... well, i guess that is the reason we are friends. good friends that is.

oh well, i think God won't give us all these problems if we cannot handle them. i wish her well. :)

gratitude

i am extremely touched by the generosity of a good friend who is located in canada. she bought me a harry potter book 7 as a birthday present. my birthday is still 3 months away and yet she already got a present for me. of course, she will go through all the trouble of shipping it here in the philippines. isn't that so sweet?! another thing is she volunteered and is willing to lend me some bucks for my camera funds. i am so hesitant about this idea because i know living in a foreign country is difficult and the camera i am longing to buy can still wait. i think. hehehe...

i just don't have enough words for you my dear friend... but i hope you know how grateful i am for this gesture. thanks a bunch.

i guess another angel has been sent on my way again. :)

roller coaster ride

politics here in the philippines just made a sudden turn. just last thursday, ex-president joseph estrada was given an absolute executive clemency. we don't know what was the motive of the current administration by doing this but their critics are saying that they just want to divert the attention of the public from the ZTE broadband deal controversy. whatever the reason of PGMA for granted erap's pardon, i just hope that it will lead to a national healing both social and political. i just hope this is for the greater good.

----------

just an update, the death toll in the glorietta 2 explosion has reached 11 already. up until now, the cause of the explosion is still unknown. tsk tsk tsk.

----------

finished a few experimental art works last thursday and during the first week of this month. these come in small sizes only and are supposedly studies for the paintings i will submit for the november art fair in salcedo park this year. unfortunately, we were not given any slot. better luck next year. hehehe...

i am not so sure if the art pieces i made are good so i am posting them for you to judge. i hope you like them.:) i am not an abstractionist so please bear with me. honestly, i am kinda liking making abstract paintings and i hope i can do more on canvass. hehehe... btw, these are watercolors on board. this is the only available materials at home. yeah, i have oil colors but am still waiting for the canvas to come. hehehe...

tragedy

9 lives lost... wounded victims still counting... unknown cause of explosion... a freak accident or an act of terrorism... still no confirmation... but one thing is clear... there are 9 wasted lives and 9 mourning families left. it is just sad how cheap lives can be. my deep condolence to the families affected.

kuya

kuya's back and he has a new set of celebrity housemates. i can't wait to watch this. i'm sure this will be interesting. :)

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

i saw hunter and holiday last saturday. i finally saw them in the flesh. they are so adorable. i can't find any words to describe them. hehehe... i can't help but smile in their presence. arghhh... i miss my niece.

help

i have not realized how ironic life can be and how each of us are interconnected until i experienced it first hand. let us just say i discovered something sensitive that might destroy a family.

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

i am

bothered
confused
in a dilemma

will someone help me.

bad luck

i can't help but think na hinahabol ako ng malas. it all started when i picked the worst work schedule one can get. followed by a declined personal loan from HSBC. then, the organizer of the art in the park did not give us any slot because they prefer a more organized group than us. the worst thing is, i overused my credit card to buy oil paints for that art fair and i don't have enough funds to pay it on the 29th. how worst can it get? when will all this stop?

nga pala, sorry sa mga nadamay sa kamalasan ko.

annoyed

i am starting to get pissed again. i just found out that there are two people occupying one very convenient schedule without weekends. f*ck. i hate the feeling that i am taken for granted when everyone else gets something better. i hate it when all is unfair and i am so helpless that i could not do anything but give way. hay. lagi na lang bang ganito? honestly, i'm getting sick and tired.

on the other hand, yoshie is leaving for papua new guinea this wednesday. will definitely miss her. take care sweetie. :)
