Late post is late lulz~ (0 Comments)
WTF. I didn’t know I still had this in my drafts! This was around the weekend after Dec. 3. Publishing this since I pity my braincells that worked on this and for the lulz~ >_>
For some reason, I felt happy yesterday. Probably because I can afford to buy bottles and bottles of beer again. *lol* I thought I was going to get the free pulutan, but I was too late. That means I have a fuckin’ LOT of things to bring home later. ~_~
So boss attorney was out for the whole day and I worked on ARISE (trying to come up with recommendations and probably additional projects for M1), the complaint of Philippines Clean Air Foundation, and the WB reimbursements while soundtripping. It’s hard to concentrate when I soundtrip as I get the urge to play the guitar. Since I don’t have a guitar at work, I always end looking at Pasig River. ^_^VVV
Haven’t gone out much lately. Last was the Lomolov3d, but meh~ I wasn’t feeling well that time. I felt like puking. But due to empty stomach, I had to keep myself from doing so. My loves kept texting me the whole night asking me to go home already. I was afraid what happened at Jaipur will happen again. I’m glad it didn’t. -_- Oh, I also had family dinner last Sunday at Marina as post-celebration of my Mom’s birthday. Ate lots to make up for hardly eating anything the day before. We had crabs, fried crablets, bucket of steamed mussels, inihaw na pusit, pork sisig, and fresh lumpia. I can’t forget the waiter who, I think, tried to get me drunk. >_> I haven’t even reached half of my bottle and he’s already asking me if I wanna order another. Is there a word ‘alcoholic’ plastered on my face? ~_~
After dinner, ‘rents went to Red Ribbon while me and my brother talked about the GI Rasta headphones. He said he saw one at Park Square. I planned on buying it in Florida, but I was too excited. We checked it out then my cc got swiped again. This is the last purchase of the month as I totally maxed out my cc.
Excuse the mess.
I think I used my cc again after the Skullcandy purchase. I forgot what I bought though. *lol* Oh man, I miss working on ARISE…
NOT.
I dunno when Jaja and I will be able to finish that damn thing especially that climate change work was dumped on me and the World Bank mission for it is already NEXT WEEK. WTF. *deadorz*

Still sleepy (0 Comments)
Arrived in the office early again. I need to do something productive. I haven’t emailed the boss any updates on my tasks. ^_^V Here’s what I need to do today:
1. Report on the Local Health Development meeting – family planning, 100% smoke-free environment, OsMak, and OsMak’s NICU. There are other topics yet I can’t seem to remember them atm. *facepalm*
2. Reimbursement letter to World Bank from Mayor. I hope he already signed it.
3. Makati IRA

Mash It Up! gig + busy, busy week (1 Comment)
I have so much to blog about, but I won’t talk about them in just one post (this might up 100 pages long or even longer).
We had a practice before we headed to Bela Bar. We practiced 3 songs; songs that we weren’t sure if we’ll add to our playlist. We had to just in case. ^_^V We left later than we wanted to. Hil, the gig organizer, was asked me our whereabouts because we were asked to be there early for opening act. ^_^V Rain poured when we were halfway. That, the traffic, and our indecisiveness caused major delays. We arrived between 10-10:30PM — tired, sleepy, and I was in a bad mood because of a small fight w/ bf.
In the MRT
Anyway, Hil, the gig organizer, told us we can start setting up and doing sound checks. Commuting on a rainy night is tough, so we said that we wanna rest first. Also, we’d rather play right away instead of the pasikat moment. LOLz~ Then Hil offered us free Red Horse that mostly just went to waste. You’ll know later on. :/ Another band did the opening which is good news for us so we can prepare properly. I wrote down our line-up and tuned my guitar. The first band didn’t play long. We did our set-up duties that took us a while because the equipment weren’t that good. The guitar amp was wonky. Setting the volume at 1 already sets the amp at full blast. ~_~
I’m emo-ing with my guitar XD;
First song = disastrous! The bass amp Rayton used kept going off for more than half of the song. The audience was still nice to applaud us. The fucked up equipment killed our mood, but we continued. The guitar amp went wonky as well, similarly to Rayton’s bass amp. The sound will cut off at every strum I make. Specially on the solo part, I played like some wannabe n00b guitarist. ~_~ How embarrassing! It was also cold in the bar that my hands were freezing. That our first time to play for Bisikleta Productions and our performance sucked. I hope we get invited again, but not with the Oi! bands plox. ^_^V I have nothing against them. I just don’t like their pushing and pushing in a small dance floor that they accidentally hit our table. My beer went to waste because of their so-called dancing. ~_~ They were amusing though. I guess that kind of made up for the wasted beer. >_>
Contras at Bela Bar
I hardly remember the sequence of events that night. I think it was after one of Contras’ songs that the bar owner went to the dancefloor. He told the audience that the dancefloor isn’t that big, so they should go easy on the _dancing_. He even had a gun tucked in his pants. D: Those in the dancefloor didn’t move a bit when they saw a gun. I expected them to behave, but nuuuuu~ They knocked our table a lot of times. One big man accidentally pushed the bar owner as well. The very pissed bar owner took out his gun and pointed it to the big man. Most of the customers went out while we still sat there. Aside from “guns blazing,” a “clash of knives” also happened. *rofl* I was actually clueless. I also wanted to join in their riot because no one replaced my beer. >_< We got home around 3AM and very much amused by the events. XD; Hil apologized to me the following day, but not for the beer. Yeah, I still have an “anger hang-over” from that.
Whew, that’s one blog topic done. ^_^V Climate change papers kept me from blogging. I had to do a quick research about climate change, Makati’s adaptation and mitigation process on it, and contributions for the Mayor’s speech for the World Bank CC program. I had to work on a Saturday night with no extra pay. Only free dinner from boss. I remember there were about 10 speeches made from different people and offices. The final speech was like a combined force. D: I asked help form the WB Manila folks to check it. I’m afraid it’s full of fail, but boss said that we got a good response from the Mayor’s presentation. I wonder if he presented the WB-edited speech.

A bit about about me and what happened (1 Comment)
I didn’t get to blog about this because it was too sudden, but I did Plurk about it. ^_^
Before I go on about what happened, let me give you a short background on what I do.
I manage land property. Sorry if that isn’t the right term, but I’m sure you get what I mean. Anyway, there are 2 lots in Alfonso that I manage. Owners live abroad, so they will need someone to handle the paperwork and managing for them. I’m supposed to work on the landscape architecture, but being clueless about that, I haven’t gotten around it. *lol* I have to do a bit of research. The other property is in El Nido, Palawan. Once I settle things with that like figuring out where to start since I haven’t heard from the other land owner, I’m hoping to get some time to go there. ^_^ Maybe I will open a resort or build a rest house there. *lol* Easier said than done. ^_^V What I do is kind of easy. I do them at my own pace, but it gets boring most of the time that I end up doing nothing at all. XDDD;
The meeting earlier was actually an interview of sorts. It was at Almec, an Urban Planning and Transport Engineering firm. I was only informed yesterday regarding this. I was surprised because I didn’t know they had my CV. Considering on what they do, it was a bit hard to think what I can do for them since I am, in fact, a Sanitary Engineer (I graduated BS Environmental & Sanitary Engineering). :/ But that’s one of the reasons why I was called. My mind was going blank since last night; I had to come up with reasons at the last minute. XP I don’t remember what I answered. I was effin’ nervous. I was also asked how much I am expecting and was offered PhP100,000. ^^;;; I’m pretty sure that’s a joke. *rofl* Anyway, they do not have Manila-based projects yet, so if all goes well I might have to do projects based in Vietnam and China among other countries. I do wish they have a project in Japan. Almec _is_ a Japanese firm, btw. *lol* I was told that they’re always loaded with work that at times you have to choose between work and family or work with social life. -_-
That’s about it. This might not be a big deal to everyone, but it is to me. I felt like I was asked with how can an electrical engineer help a vet. >_>
I apologize for the boring post. To somehow lighten the mood, I discovered something about RED RANGER (yep, the dude from Power Rangers) through magnetic_rotch’s Plurk. XDDD From Red Ranger, he’s now a gay pr0n actor. XD
