So Monday lazily went by but not without dropping a bombshell that left a hugeass crater on my Christmas List. Turns out, our client pulled out his account from the company and in the meantime, we are considerably unemployed.
SHOCK!
My tower of money flashed before my very eyes as Rhae gave me the lowdown on this shit. You can imagine how heartbroken I was. I dunno which is the worst part, the fact that we are suddenly unemployed, the fact that I'm hearing that we are suddenly unemployed on a MONDAY or the fact that I'm hearing we are suddenly unemployed on a MONDAY, when DECEMBER is looming beyond the horizon!
Why am I so worried, you asked? Am I not used to go "floating" down the abyss until I fade into obscurity, you asked? It's because unlike Iweb, if we go floating, we don't get paid. At all. That's right, here in Sin Cubicle City, floating is equivalent to getting the proverbial ax, minus the will-blacklist-yo-shit-up part.
Thing was, I have so many plans that included loads of hard-earned moolah for the days ahead and make no mistake, I'm talking about something long-term here
*DOUBLE SHOCK!*

Say hello to my friend...
So. Impatience won me over and I went out and bought the damn thing just to get the hysteria out of my system. Well worth the 20 pesos fare I shelled out to haul my ass to the nearest Nokia center for this mobile. This thing has a bar code scanner and a VPN. A freakin' VPN!!!
Anyhow, I'm still getting acquainted with my new toy and so far it's great. Sad to say that because of my limited knowledge in techie stuff, I might not be able to really maximize the use of this phone. BUT, itchokey kokey. It takes nice pics, hihihihi!

Things To Look Forward To (Among Other Things)
* Love letter from Tina: Matagal akong di nag-blog. You may want to sit down when you read this uboawesomeubo freakin' long post*
I've been itching to buy a new mobile phone already. Seriously. It's like, it's the only thing I could think of, I'm afraid it's bordering on obsession already. Funny thing is, I'm itching to buy a mobile phone when I hardly use one. How fucked up is that? Well despite numerous set-backs, I still have to wait it out until the end of this month to buy my beloved E71. Meeeeh. I get impatient sometimes but ish kul. Something to look forward to! (I actually broke my phone as I was typing this. Dammit!)
Another thing to look forward to is my sexy baby bro's incoming field trip here on the metro! That means after the field trip, I'm gonna pick him up and he'll have a mini-vacation with his spinster sisters! AwesoooOOOooome!
Anyways, Christmas is drawing near and I couldn't be more excited! I'm always in my best mood during the Ber months and though I couldn't say I'm at the highest point of my life right now, I'm still excitedly waiting for the days ahead. I'm actually considering on buying my gifts already. Some might think I'm a wee bit too early but personally I think I'm a little late on my schedule. Why, when I was in college I used to buy Christmas gifts on September, that's how much of an eager beaver I am!
I'm already budgeting my moolah because I'm hell bent on giving my nieces and nephews awesome loot! Seriously, I'm gonna outdo myself this time! I'm exh-teeeeeeeeeed!
But all is not well. I'm not looking forward on going home during the holidays because it's always a nightmare to go home! Every freakin' year, me and my sister are greeted with this kind of eyesore:
Oh! Also, the son of my land lady bought a dog. It's a cute Lab. Her name's Ana Paula or Anapola, I'm not really sure if I spelled either name correctly but that's how her name sounds like.Anyways, I've never seen a baby Lab before. Our own lab, Gabi, who died of stupid circumstances (I'm not being mean, he really did die of something really, really stupid. Broke my heart into millions of pieces but it didn't change the fact that it was... stoopid) was already two years old when we got him so naturally I got excited when I saw this tiny pup! She's so cute!!!! I fed her bibingka and mocha cookies yesterday and was charmed at the way she couldn't chew her food yet!
I plan to buy her a rubber ball if it's okay with the owner. I can almost imagine it now. Me and Anapols, laughing and running around on a hill, playing catch, eating Oishi Mocha biscuits and generally being stupid together!

Oh, the humanity!
It's Undas, Bitch.
If you must know, these pics were taken on Undas 2008. I spent two mind-numbing hours wading through the waves upon waves of humanity and then standing in an impossibly long line till I lost feelings on my legs all thanks to Five Star Bus Line's remarkably retarded crowd management skills. It gets worse every year, I swear. But itchokey kokey. At least I got home fine and spent Undas stuffing my face till I passed out.

Weird Funk at The Beach
Last week was pure hell. My boss made me do this writing gig that dried my freakin' brains out. Worse, I was forced to stay on the office well over office hours. And the worst part was my bosses bugging us about it even when we were miles away from the city. Obviously these incidents didn't help the weird funk I've been feeling all week. It was complicated and well, hellish.
I had my reservations about pushing through my plans to head to the beach. Truth be told, I couldn't be psyched up about the trip at all. I was in the mood to for it, I guess.

Head Hoiyts
Indeed, Mondays has its own surprise. I was idly talking to one of my co-worker/friend about this guy I used to know when suddenly, I saw the light. Actually, it was more like pulsing shreds of lightning floating on my vision. Seeing that, I knew that I need to go home... and fast.
Though I was in the middle of everything that day i.e. working, smoking and fucken chatting with my office mates fuck it, I got better things to worry about. Sensitivity to light, sound and smell, impaired vision, numb limbs, nausea and a headache, so profoundly painful, it feels like the back of your head is being mercilessly poked by a dull, rusty sword.
I really hate how everything must go to a screeching halt whenever I get migraines but it's something that can't be helped. I don't get migraines often (Thank GOD) but you never forget how painful it is no matter how long its been. So there. I had a hellish time actually. I suffered one of the most painful headache I had in recent memory, the most uncomfortable sleep (even though I took pills to fall asleep) ever and the most awkward vomiting spree all in one day.
