I am texting this blog entry because I am too cheap to get internet connection at home. Late at night, if I'm lucky, I piggyback on my neighbors' connections or I go to starbucks or wherever else there's free wifi. But I had this late night epiphany that just can't wait: If I am to get ahead at work I have to play this game called pagbubuhat ng sariling bangko. It's a popular game and almost

Happy new year! I know. This blog entry has been a long time coming, constantly interrupted by dinners (Christmas, birthday, farewell) with P's family, babysitting responsibilities, not to mention the three-week-long, three and a half hours three times a week whirlwind of a class. I would just like to say, despite my uncertain job future, my uncertain domestic future, the fact that I was

My bad boyThis is my new bike :-) - my first one since the BMX I rode to and from piano lessons. BMX had a steel thingamajig onto which I'd clip my piano pieces. My new bike is a 2009 F7 Cannondale hardtail. It has disc brakes and is a pretty decent entry-level mountain bike. Notice the hottt color scheme. It's a small men's because the small women's came in pink and I'm not really a pink bike

Today is the ing nyc marathon, which runs through 5 boroughs, 26.2 miles, ending in central park. I stood by the roadside in 4th avenue, brooklyn just as the women were getting off the verrazano bridge, went to get a tea from the chinese bakery, and whoosh! - the lead pack went by.

On board were a helicopter just getting ready for takeoff, two boats, and tons of people who looked like they were having fun. We squinted and saw it was called The Highlander. The writing on the helicopter was too small to see. But if we had been able to read it, it would most

What your time's worthI took the rest of the summer off from school and two weeks off from work so since last week I've been waking up mostly after noon (gasp!). I had no big plans this year. I opted out of a glamorous fabulous week-end with my peeps to save money, so I've been splitting my time between Crooklyn and Jersey.Last week I hung out with P and family. We went to the movies (Hancock)

DramachineEvery summer these past few years, on a holiday week-end, somebody in my family gets married. This year, I am missing the wedding of the season because I have Economics finals. The teacher drones on for two hours on Mondays and Thursdays and then gets the computer to pick 50 random questions for the midterms and finals. Right before the midterms he said that if we encounter a question

I'm on the train heading home from my Statistics finals. After work I had two hours to kill before my 8 pm test. So I got a guilt-laden burger for stamina. Then I went to the library, purportedly to study, but the place was hopping with anxious students and I couldn't concentrate. So I did what any other stressed grad student would do - I slept my butt off. Best nap ever, really. Then I had a

CallingSometimes, usually when I'm particularly disappointed in myself or when I read a certain blog, I wonder if maybe I missed my calling. Sometimes I wonder if I could have been a doctor. Why not? I used to be smart. Now, I'm not so sure. On the last day of my Marketing class I did a (voluntary!) presentation. The presentation was fine. Afterwards was the problem, when I stared out at the sea

So on a hunch I decided to drop by Serendipity 3 just in case they had any tables. It's very popular with the tourists and the wait is usually two hours. But this time I got a table in the blink of an eye. By the kitchen, sure, but I did enjoy my bleu burger and their

A botanical adventureToday I went to the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx for The Orchid Show. Everything was lovely. We were amazed at how similar the plant life in South America is to the Philippines. In one of the exhibits, there was a green-colored vine prominently featured hanging from the ceiling which was supposedly from the Philippines, but which I have never before seen in my life.

Bought suitcase - tough choice between hard case cheapo and oh-so-cute but off-the-budget Kipling. Cheapo won.2. Did laundry - tons and tons of it. Next:

Something old, something new...I have a wedding (not mine) rehearsal today. Specifically, I'm doing the organ music. I'm kind of excited, as I haven't done a wedding in a long time. I get a kick out of playing the wedding march, especially when the bride gets ready to come in, framed by the church's doorway, and everybody rises. So, anyways, I was thinking of the Trumpet Voluntary for the

ThirteenLast night I saw Todd Solondz's Palindromes. Aviva is 13 years old and knows what she wants. She wants a baby. She meets Judah, the son of family friends, and after some awkward thrusting in his bedroom, gets pregnant. What follows is a strange, sad and sometimes satirical coming-of-age story that pits pro-life and pro-choice, and destiny and free will. Solondz, whose last movie was the

A thousand thingsMemorial Day Week-end was fun and activity- and travel-filled. We left characteristically late on Saturday for a picnic at Bear Mountain. Spent the day skewering various pieces of meat and vegetables and slow-roasting these atop "disposable" grills. After an overextended lunch, we finally headed to the lake to go boating. Afterwards, we decided to go hiking. Of course, I had on

Speaking of...procrastination, I let my domain name expire and now I have to buy it back from one of those companies that pounce on expiring domains and sell it for twice the going price. So now I'm squatting on blogspot and I might not renew my domain. I'll see what happens.This week-end, I went to Six Flags Great Adventure. The first rollercoaster I was ever on was the Nitro, which looks like

Oh yes, I'm the great procrastinatorI have a seminar which will touch on procrastination and other faults tomorrow. So guess what I'm doing? I'm going to watch Happenstance and maybe just wake up an hour earlier tomorrow to write my three goals essay.I guess this tops my exclaiming out loud, "I don't have any goals!" to my boss.

You don't send me anymoreI saw Thank You for Smoking at BAM, my favorite cinema, last Friday. Well, it's everything you could ask for in a movie. It's funny and smart but not totally unforgettable, kind of like the guy you had a big crush on in college. Part of the fun of watching it was William Macy and his natural talent for comedy, even if cast in an antagonist role. It's funny, but I always

Househunting IITwo weeks ago we went to see a house in the Bronx. The broker refused to give out the address and told us to meet us at the corner of so-and-so street instead. We were very suspicious, but oh well, we had the time. We got there a little early and called him up to ask if we could meet him a little bit earlier. We ended up waiting for 30 minutes by a park. It was a nice day and

It's no joke to have a massive magazine obsession. I find myself at Hudson News realizing that I already have most of this month's/week's mags. (By the way, whatever happened to Radar?

Oh snapI haven't picked up my camera in months. I've been thinking of dragging it around since DST started yesterday and we'd been getting spring-has-sprung weather of late. But severe thunderstorms don't really make for picture perfect weather. Oh, and also, I accidentally disconnected my external hard drive and I can't access any of my files. No iTunes, no pictures, nothing. I just hope

Time takes time you knowLast week-end I played laser tag for the first time. I've always wanted to try it out but never got to until this week-end. My team won, of course. I wanted to try the batting cages but everyone else seemed so good I chickened out. The last time I held a baseball bat was third year high school. I'm having a grand time. Really. Sometimes I still wonder. What if

All you need is a pretty songI've never wanted anything so badly. I know things will be okay in the end; I know God wants me to have this particular thing (that I can't say yet what lest I count my chickens before they hatch). It just breaks my heart a little - the vastness of the difference between yesterday's triumphant giddiness and today's icy disappointment. It doesn't help that I talked to

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hairI finally got a haircut. My last one may have been a year ago, I don't even remember. This is the longest I've ever grown my hair. From being almost waistlength, it is now short and perky and ultra-layered. I went to the drugstore on Wednesday to buy a ton of hair products just for the heck of it. I got the haircut for free because it's for a good cause.

My problem with me is my problem with youIt's 4:15 pm, and my day's just begun. I've been on the phone with various people on and off for four hours. That's weird for someone who hates using the phone. I'm tired. I have to do my laundry and listen to a couple of songs and clean my room and pay my bills. I might muster enough energy to go out for dinner. Something my friend said struck me. She

You can't make someone love you with a songThis week-end I'm going to meet up with a few friends (and teachers!) from high school. There'll be a lot of catching up to do. I'm taking the plane to Virginia, but commuting by bus from D.C. back to New York on one of those Chinatown buses. It cost me 20 bucks as opposed to the $289 air fare.
