The Year In Review: 2007

Update: Me and a bunch of my friends went cam-whoring yesterday! 'Twas fun and shit! Also, Doy came up with a new word: Oogy. Yeah, check out what it means... his posts are uber-oogy!

Oh hey, hey, hey! First off as the title implies, this will be my last post for the year 2007! I planned nothing big today though I do have lots of stuff to do for the coming year.

I, Tina Lee, self-proclaimed kilabot ng mga kuyukot, will be heading up North to Vigan, where I shall collect my bearings and do cool stuff... like... picking my schoz and scratching my ass cheeks on location! Whatchu say? Y'all gonna miss me? *ngiting aso* Awww... didn't know you guys cared... mewmewmewmewmew....

I know I sound like I'm high on crack but I'm so exah-ted! I'm not really the adventurous type and this is my first backpacking trip, it's awesome! I plan to eat lost and lots of kalamay, trot around in circles at the heritage village and like, celebrate my now deflated wallet! Oh, I'll have tons of fun, I just know it.

Okay see, I have lots of grand plans for 2008 so I think it would do me a hella lotta good to think things over. Of course, I really don't want to talk about that, baka ma-depress lang ako. Anyways, I kept reading other people's blogs and dalawa lang ang nakikita kong topic, wish list and year end report. Bakit ganun?

Now, gustuhin ko mang gumaya eh I pretty much don't want anything right now. Nothing that money can buy anyways. Gah! Could I get more lamer? Apparently yes, I'm getting old na talaga, I hate it!

As for the year-end report thing, haaay. 2007 proved to be a lot weirder than 2006. Madaming nangyari, most di masaya but the Ber months has been good and in a way, I'm glad I'm still y'know... doing juuust dandy. I'm so lame, I know. You'd think this article, being the last post for 2007, I could come up with interesting schiz to talk about but nooo... I had to ruin this for you.

Isang comment ko lang, naririndi na ako sa putanginang "Suicidal" song na yan ha. Di na sha funny. Wala man lang bang nagsasawa sa inyo sa kantang yon? I had to sit through that song during the company party then I woke up this morning and I hear the school band from a nearby school playing that song over and over and over again. No, hindi sa stereo, old school drum and lyre ang letche. Uuugh... ansakit sa ulo.

So that's about it. For a girl na sobrang daldal, wala akong masabing kahit anong relevant or life-changing na happenings sa taong nag-daan. Since wala akong wishlist and shit, I'll just wish you guys a wonderful Christmas and a glorious year ahead. Balikan nyo na lang ako next year. I'll be out hibernating away from the in-tah-net, woohooo!

Cheers!

SasaLee: The Tale Of The Lost Passport

Commercial muna tayo: Ang maka-bagbag damdaming katanghan na ito ay inihatid sa inyo ni: SasaLee, Ate ni TinaLee

SasaLee and Cake

Wala akong balak na mag-update ng blog pero may nakakatawang nagyari sakin or actually, sa ate ko kaninang umga. Share ko lang.

My sister lost her passport three months ago. She's not exactly what you'd call a "neat freak" so her missing passport isn't actually new to me. Anyways, she's been trying to find the damn thing for quite some time (3 months) and was almost resigned to the fact that she'd be forced to get a new one. Anyone who has a passport knows how fucking hard it is to get a new one especially if you lost yer old passport. Paper works, filing stuff to the authorities, shit like that.

This morning around 8:30, We were making our way to our respective offices when we realized we have absolutely no smaller bills to spare for our short FX ride. Sasa, being the first born, took it upon herself to buy insignificant goods to score some change in the nearby sari-sari store. She was idly checking out the food from the store when a posted sign caught her eyes:

Lost Passport: Maria Theresa Coliamco Lee

Ang tanga kong ate, na laging nawawalan ng gamit ay natulala, kinalabit ako then started giggling while claiming she is that person to the cashier and started flinging her ID around. Turns out, a tricycle driver found the passport and (rightfully) assumed the girl who lost it is from the village we're in. The cashier told us, they've been looking for the owner of the schiz for a long time.

So why am I telling this funny news to you guys? My sister told me she can't say to her bosses that she found her passport otherwise isasama sha sa Hong Kong. She gave me permission na ipagkalat ang masayang balita ayon sa aklat ng katangahan ni Sasa.

Tina: Tanga mo din eh no? So, ang gamit mo nakakarating hanggang sari-sari store ng ibang tao?
Sasa: Oo nga eh, wahahahah!
Tina: Buti di ka natunaw sa hiya. Libre mo me.
Sasa: Ulol.

In the end, sa sobrang tuwa ni gago, nilibre ako ng taxi ride. Yun lang.

Ze Christmas Party

Hey, pepol of the Pelepens, enjoying the slide show? Those are the pics I shamelessly stole from Carlo and Nina, bwehehehehe! Ako na ang huling mag-post, halos lahat sa blogroll ko eh meron na, hehehe. Sa mga di pa nakakahalata, those are from last Friday's Iweb HAT party. Y'all may remember what I said one blog ako na I'll be damned if I come home empty-handed. Well. Well. WELL. As always, wala na naman akong na-dagit na prizes, I don't know why I even bother. Every. Fucking. Year. I swear to God.

Haaay... I knew I should've worn a shorter skirt. Taena tong Loubelle na to eh, dinaan sa ganda! Natalo tuloy ako! Hahaha! Seriously though, congrats kay Loubelle at sya ang Hattest Female sa party (hoy yung chocolates ko, aabangan kita sa baba, muahahahha!) at sa lahat ng mga nanalo, gagaling nyo. Kung alam ko lang kinarir ko na rin sana ang mga pa-contest nila *emo tears*

Dunno about you guys but I enjoyed meself! It was fun and very light-hearted ang ambiance, so unlike last year where everyone kept acting like baseball bats were shoved way up their asses, hahaha! This year was pretty different. Saw lots of familiar faces as well as y'know, virtual strangers. Yeah, kinda cool trying to make small talks while craftily weasling my way into their beloved yosi stash, hehehehe!

If there's one thing I hated about the party, it was the time I had to come up the stage. God, that was the worst. The last time I was ever on stage was like, eons ago so natural di ako sanay. Tangina, sumakit tuloy tyan ko sa kaba. Ugh. Well, that and the stupid dance floor. Shit pare, I damned near crapped my pants when Sir Obet dragged me into the middle of the dance floor. Nakakatawa yung napag-usapan namin.

Tina: (dances around like goddamned lunatic, high on crack)

Sir Obet: Wow Tina... Parang tanga lang ah! (Tangina, verbatim to. If you don't believe me, you can ask the man himself)

Tina: *deep inside* You cut me deep.

Good Lawrd. Parang gusto kong matunaw, huhuhu! So kahiyaaaa!!! So I did the next best thing, when no one was looking I sneaked out then made a beeline to the balcony area. Smoked till my lungs burned, hoping na mag-disperse ang mga tao sa dance floor. Hay. That was depressing, it's like high school all over again. I knew that dance floor was trouble.

Can't help but notice how much things have changed between last year and this year's party. Una sa lahat wala kaming picture ng mga bitches ko last year meron. Kakalungkot ng konti. But to sum it all up, 'twas an awesome night.

Oh, I almost forgot, this is my 90th post here on Blogger. Not that I'm planning on anything special. Gusto ko lang i-mention, hahahaha! Nga pala, you guys might notice the cute kid above, she's my new god-daughter and her mudra. Shempre para na naman akong abnormal sa pic. Hahahah! Sapalagay nyo, anong tumatakbo sa isipan ng bagets habang naka-titig sa akin?

A) What the fuck? I can see her brain from here!

B) What's this tranny's problem, staring like this and shit?!

or C) Tanginang hitad kapal ng mukha, naka-dalawang balik sa buffet!

Hahahah!

Kesong Bulok Daw

Benny: Ano nga ba yung mabahong cheese?
Tina: Limburger?
Benny: Ah tama. Ikaw yun
Tina: Tangina mo ah.
Benny: Thanks for helping me make asar you
Tina: Huhuhu... making asar me, huhuuhuh *sabay bato ng granada*
Benny: Huhuh pare you threw the grenade on my balls pare, now it's maga na huhuhu....

*********

Benny: Astig. Edi ang baho nya...
Tina: Like yuh, parang ikaw lang
Benny: Inggit ka lang. Amoy kesong bulok ka kasi.
Tina: FYI: Keso IS bulok. No need to say kesong bulok as keso will do. BURN!
Benny: Hindi kaya *emo*

Off To Ze Party I Shall Go

Crikey, Christmas really is just around the corner. I'm a bit giddy cuz tonight, our company Christmas party is up. Originally, I didn't have any plans on attending the event for reasons that I care not to divulge. However, two weeks prior to the party, I changed my mind. I learned that first, my good friend Rhae, was tasked to organize the whole shebang and I don't want to snub her stuff kasi I don't want to be known as the dick who snubbed Rhae's thing and frankly she scares the living shit outta me! Joke lang hehehe, second, a couple of my bosom buds will be hosting the event *cough RoschieandJumaicough* Third and probably the most important reason of all:

Rhae: Want to know another good reason why you should definitely come to the Christmas party?
Tina: Ugh... venue fucking sucks... will not go...
Rhae: Here's what's on the menu: Sinigang na sugpo, crablets, calamares, caldereta... did I mention na buffet sya?
Tina: *ears pricked-up* Dude say no more, I'm so there.

You always do this! JesusfuckingChrist! Fuck you Iweb... playing on my weakness and shit! You know how I feel about food!!! Damn you! Damn you! Damn you to hell!! *drool*

So from our short but sweet conversation you guys can see how much I've given this particular subject a lot of thought, I know. Like, I burned a lot of brain cells just thinking about whether or not I should come. Hahahha, man... I'm cracking myself up over here... hahahah!

I admit, the food and the fact that I might win a oh, I don't know... a coffee maker, made me change my mind.

Well, you know how we all must have our own motivation in order to achieve a certain something, hahahaha! I make no fucking sense. I'm going because I'm there to fucking win, bitches! I'll be damned if I come home empty-handed!!!! (insert evil laughter HERE)

Babaw ko no? Bitter pa rin kasi ako dun sa last year na raffle eh, hahaha!

Seriously though, I'm pretty curious to see how things will turn out tonight. I mean, I bet Rosch and Jumai would do an awesome job and from what I'm hearing it's gonna be one lovely gathering, plus I want to see what those little smurfs looks like after dark *wink* so there's absolutely no reason not to go. Now I gotta run, papa-land scaping ko pa ang hairlaloo ng lola nyo!

Cheers, bitches!

Bookworm-ish Tendencies

I find it weird that everyone here in the office knows me as Tina Lee. I mean, Tina would do plus when I was in college everybody called me "Lee" Nakakatawa lang na sa work, buong pangalan ko ang sinasabi. Sampol: The gay dude at the pantry calls me Tina Lee and I was a bit taken aback. He was like, "Tina Lee, nilaga yung sayu no?" Medyo natawa lang ako ng konti. Or yung shawarma guy sa pool area, "Kay Tina Lee daw itlog tapos bacon... kayo po yung Tina Lee, di ba?" Hahaha! Ok lang naman kahit tawagin ako ng buong pangalan ko. Hell, you can even call me Boornickers and I wouldn't really mind. Nakaktawa lang kasi pwede namang hindi.

I seem to be reading a hell lotta books these days. Just recently I finished John Steinbeck's East Of Eden. It's one cool read, I loved it to bits! Parang gusto ko din ma-experience ang Salinas Valley from which the story took place.

I will then proceed on reading his other literary masterpieces such as Grapes Of Wrath, Of Mice and Men and The Pearl. The cooler part is, my sister loaned me all these books to read! I lovez itz! Right now I'm just about done reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, which by the way, fucking rocks, pare. I swear to God, kinikilig ako sa mga interactions ni Lizzy Bennet and Mr. Dah-cy!

It's a cryin' shame that I'm a fast-reader cuz I want to savor the book. So now I'm trying to slow down kasi patapos na sha and I really, really, want to not finish too soon.

I've watched the movie but being the bookworm-ish dork that I am, I feel na minsan Hollywood kept raping the goodness out of a good book and you're left with this hideous, glittery, shiny, over-hyped... thing. Which makes reading so much funner, doncha think? But I must admit Matthew MacFadyen gave an awesome performance plus he's so hot *drool*

Hay, kilig me.

Jeysus Chrrriiissst!!!!

Hey kids, Thanks sa mga taong nagbigay ng "encouraging" words (mapa-ym, text or comments) nung ako'y kasalukuyang praning at handa nang mag walk-in sa mental, alam nyo kung sinu kayung tatlo, wahahahahah! Seriously, Thanks, muah! Na-master ko na kasi ang katagang binitawan ng The Great Beanny Baby: The trick is to not care. Chew on that, kids!

**********

Benny: 2 becomes 1' rullz your shriveled ass
Tina: Hah, my ass won't be shriveled until I turn 45, you dick!
Benny: That's because you're gonna get it at 44!
Tina: Hah! Imma inject my ass wid botox, hah! You on the other hand, magmu-mukhang lantang papyrus ang itlog mo wahahahhahahahh! *laughs maniacally , hides behind a boulder*
Benny: At least may ass, kaw likod tas direcho tumbong *hides in an even bigger boulder*
Tina: Damn you!!!!

**********

Benny: You need medical help.
Tina: I need to get a life, you mean.
Benny: From Dr. Ohms
Tina: *to the tune of Dr.Jones* Doctor Ohms, Doctor Ohms, calling Doctor Ohms
Benny: Ako yung kalbo, WAKE UP NOW!
Tina: Heeheeeheee... na-lss ako dun ah... Tangina mo, Benitez.

Grip Not Gotten

It never ceases to amaze me how I could sit quietly in my little cubicle, just picking my nose, doing my job and generally minding my own biz then for some weird reason, trouble always finds me. Hay, I'm getting too old for these kinds of schiz, it doesn't help my already frazzled nerves to know that I'm probably the most paranoid person on the face of the planet. Anyways, it's official: I've got the blues and I'm paranoid as shit, pare.

Nothing tastes right, kept waking up at the dead of the night and worst, I feel like someone's out to get me.

Must calm down... might make heart burst into flames...

Anyways, I can't really talk about it since I'm not really a fan of showing my softer side here... on the net. Plus, I've already burdened you guys enough by admitting I'm paranoid and depressed, so that ought to be enough. For the guys who are expect a witty comeback right now, you may go cuz I got nuthin'. For the few guys who chose to remain, I shall now proceed on boring you with my once-in-a-blue-moonish senti moment post.

I'm so praning right now I could hardly stand it. I wish I'm a crack addict so these schiz I'm going through were justified... hay. After much tossing and turning on my bed, I wake up and could hardly hold my shit together. No, really.

Then when I dressed for work, I was a bit surprised to find out I lost my gut. I can't believe I'm actually saying this but I miss my gut. I want my gut back. But like I said, nothing tastes right. So I then I started whining about my impending doom to my friends. Or to anyone who would listen, for that matter. Well they did try their damnedest to knock some sense into my head but I don't think it's getting through my thick skull so far

Update: Hahaha! This article just goes to show how manic I can get sometimes. I wrote this article on two separate days and now, I didn't have the heart to finish it since the feeling was gone. Explain ko lang, a few days ago, I was feeling a wee bit paranoid over something I can't actually discuss just yet. Anyways I'm feeling much better for now. Ciao!

Thinking Aloud

Ahoy, bitches. Well, I don't know about you guys but as for me, November has been one heck of an ass-kicker and as we are nearing the end of 2007 it made me a bit contemplative about the year to come. But of course, you have to take the good with the bad, eh no? Andaming nangyari eh... san ko ba sisimulan..

Ah oo, may nakaka-alala pa na may nag-hold ng fund-raising ang mga magagaling na kinauukulan sa aming humble opis? Oh, I'm so gonna get in trouble for commenting on anything about it and I sure as hell don't want to end up with strangers and office peeps nitpicking my shitty blog katulad ng nangyari kay Jeo, sa dahilang nakakahiya't andami kong picture na ganito:

Besides, I'm not really big on the whole traffic thing. Although, I must admit dumadami ang readers ko recently to which I'm grateful kahit kalahati nung traffic ko eh alam naman nating lahat na galing kay Princess Sarah, no? Bwahahahah, walang magre-react!!!

Anyways, kung may masasabi lang ako sa mga perpetrators ng fund-raising ay eto lang: Tangina nyo, mga hudas andami ko tuloy pending na schiz... pero talamats at we had the whole afternoon off. The end. Sa mga tao na bumubuo ng mahal kong kumpanya eh: With all due respect, a short but sweet explanation would be nice. Kahit di na masyadong malalim ang explanation ok lang basta meron lang... po *drool*

Tapos... ah yes. I think I may have mentioned several blogs ago that I've always wanted to be a cartoonist. Di nangyari kasi naunahan ako ng ate kong mag-take ng Fine Arts *sniff, sniff* Anywhat, Lucky for me, I find myself working on a couple of projects that has something to do with toons. Well, I'm pretty excited to tell you guys about it pero as of now, wala pang tapos sa mga projects na 'to so there's nothing to tell, bweheheheh....

Nung Thursday eh may standoff sa Makati no? Y'know, as much as I admire Trillianes' courage (not a lot of people have the guts to do what he did), I have to admit na the ploy was totally misguided. He's already a senator, he could've chosen a different way to show his "unhappiness" towards the corrupted government officials.

I mean, spare us the (hostage) drama, and fight for what's right in the Senate. I understand na mas madami na ngayon ang oposisyon sa Senado so, victory is bound to be within his grasp. Sayang lang kasi instead of trying to make a difference eh he could've made a difference had he taken time to choose his battle carefully.

And since we're on the topic, was the goddamned curfew really necessary? I was unaware of the imposed curfew and I only learned about it well past 7:00 PM at the mall where I was idly checking out stuff that I can't afford (for now, at least). So, I tried going home at around 8PM, couldn't get a cab for an hour and made it home half an hour before 12 MN. Hellish would be mildly putting it. Then some people who obviously don't have a life kept texting me na nag-declare na ng Martial Law si GMA. Sana lang di ako nag-palpitate ng konti dun.
