she calls me yabang, i call her sungit.

it started when we were seatmates and i'd brag (jokingly) about my sales and she'd retaliate with indifference.

finally sungit, narating ko na rin ang friendster mo.. hehe.. cute cute naman ng doggie :p pahiram, pwede? hehe.. anyway, macke's the one i became closest to in team kath (this is after kaydee because we got separated into different teams). we'd spend our calling time sa kulitan and non-stop kwentuhan and asaran. and even now that we're not teammates, we're still pretty close. i dunno if a lot of people know this about macke, but she's very thoughtful and corny (she says she got this from me --yabang!) and sweet and generous and super super kind.. and even if you're not together all the time, she makes you feel that she's just there for you no matter what. actually, the first time i met her, i didn't think we'd be friends kc parang ang tahimik nya, walang kibo...yun pala complete opposite!!hehe..di ko sha masabayan when she's hyper! seriously though, she's the kind of person na tahimik lang but talks a lot of sense (even if i tell her otherwise just to spite her) and she'll really blow you away with the kind of surprises she has for you. i know we've just met recently but somehowi feel like i've known you for a long time already.. and hey, i know i don't get to say this often, but i am forever changed because of who you are and what you mean to me..thanks for blessing me with your friendship. i hope i could return the favor by the promise that i'll be here for you whether or not you need me. thank you for being one of the few reasons i can say life is beautiful. I LOVE YOU.

Carrie (Sex in the City): Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.

there's some minor changes happening starting next month.. first off, coach kath has accepted a back-up supervisor position at Citibank International, which means that her team will be left without a coach.

when we had an ops meeting yesterday, Miss Jai announced Coach Kath's decision, with the condition that i would take over her place as the new coach of her team.. i initially didn't know how to react. i mean, i was flattered to be given such greater responsibility, at the same time i had to think about the team that i would be leaving as well. it saddens me thinking about leaving my children. i was just starting to get to know them and then i would need to pass them on to someone new..

oh well. change is the only permanent thing in this world. i would have to get used to it somehow.

and so i told Sungit about it as soon as i found out. i had apprehensions, that i will admit. but more than the fear of not living up to what Coach Kath has started for the team, i am pretty excited working with the team i actually came from before i even became a coach.. not to mention the fact that i get to be closer to someone. hehe.

guess the minor detail isn't so minor after all. ;p

i'm going to Shang after shift and continue with my search for the perfect gift for Deej.. it's so difficult thinking of what gift to give someone you know so well.. it's not that she's hard to please, but i guess since you are familiar with almost everything about each other, you just want to give something different.. something extraordinary.. and finding that in a mall with more people than merchandise available can be really taxing and frustrating.

i'm hoping i go home with something nice tough.. and not too expensive because 13th month pay is depleting at an alarming rate. hehe.

I got a text from my bestfriend yesterday and yes, it was a surprise because we never even get to talk anymore, much less see each other. Conflicting schedules, that’s why. Anyway, it was kind of random. She was at Coffee Bean in RCBC waiting for Mark and she just texted to say that life is changing rapidly. Things are really different than when we were merely college freshmen (we were 16 then). She went on to lament how she was afraid that in the end we might be exactly the same as we were back when we were younger. But I guess that’s something we shouldn’t fear. A part of who we are today is because of the person we were in the past and that’s something we should be thankful for. Who knows what we’ll all end up being? All I know is that who I was in the past will forever remain.

i got home yesterday, which was record-breaking, considering that i got home at 3pm on average for the past 2 weeks or so. anyway, i was kinda hoping to talk to someone (especially cuz this someone wanted to tell me something), and when i wanted to talk, suddenly the person doesn't want to.. said whatever it was was forgotten. just like that. and that irked me.

i dunno if it's just stress that's driving me up the walls lately but i just can't seem to have the patience or the stamina to endure other people and their actions. i am not generalizing though. i mean, i do get along with everyone mostly.. it's just stupidity or non-compliance and non-sequitur-ness i really can't stand.
or is it just me?

anyway, i am here at the office early (my mom and dad dropped me off and went to tiendesitas) and the floor is deserted. i am thinking of sleeping but worried my haid would go flat when i wake up so i'm spending the rest of the time typing away til i log on at 12.

i still don't have gifts for a few more people in the office and i'm planning on going to mega tomorrow after shift to complete everything and be able to bring all my gifts by saturday.. YES, we have work on Saturday night which means i'll be spending Christmas eve with ICT-HHCP people. oh well. duty calls.

oh.. here are some pics from the party last Sunday at Phi Bar, Metrowalk.

earl, pao and me at Market!Market!

Kaydee asked me earlier if I was happy.

I said yes.

It’s been tiring hopping from one relationship to another and I’ve been accustomed to having my heart pried open then just shattered into a million pieces over and over again.

Today however, that feeling of being so alive is back. I guess it’s because I am realizing that I it’s such a good feeling when what you give is reciprocated.. hehe labo ba??

Babbling again..

This rarely happens.

Kayds, I am happy.

I truly am. And it scares the hell out of me.
