I’m not ditzy, I’m just forgetful. Or so I say. haha.

Yesterday I went to work an hour early to avoid confusion over my new schedule. Time changes don’t really agree with me because I have the tendency to get confused easily same as how I still get confused with which is left and which is right.

I thought I’ll be okay, I was in my new station, checking my mail and just waiting for the clock to struck :29 so I can log in. It was colder than usual but I didn’t mind, I was thinking of some numbers, mentally calculating how I’ll spend my salary the next day, vacillating between saving for a camera and a last round of shopping in Cubao’s various thrift shops.

I just added a new artist to my growing collection which reminds me that I need to buy an external hd real soon. Sigh. The new artist comes by the name of Rachael Yamagata, an artist from Arlington, Virginia.

Her songs have been featured in popular tv shows like The OC, Charmed, One Tree Hill, Grey’s Anatomy and more.

I’m currently listening to songs from her first album aptly titled as Happenstance, and I loooove it.

Worn Me Down – Rachael Yamagata

Personality quizzes continue to amaze me with their sometimes too accurate results and interpretation. And this one is no exception though it astounds me how the simple act of choosing colors can tell you what kind of personality you have, your problems and more.

Below are bits and pieces of the results with flashes of reactions from yours truly in between.

Existing situation: Looking for a way to overcome her current problems and issues, but finds it difficult to find solutions or choose the best course of action.

Hmm, 50 percent true. Moving to Makati was a solution to my problems back home, on the other hand I know that where I am now is just temporary, another stepping stone till I find the courage and the means to pursue what I really want to do with my life.

I’m not a big fan of robot movies but I can’t wait to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Oh, those big gorgeous robots, haha! I was hoping I could watch it today but I’ll have to wait for next week because I’ve yet to finish working on some freelance jobs I signed myself up for. Dang. I saw the trailer on youtube and boy, I can’t wait, I caaan’t!

Back in highschool a lot of my friends had wonderful singing voices. Aya sang for the school choir, along with Ferdie, Dean and the rest of the gang. Even Lindl, the seatmate I tortured with my sewing machine pen, could sing…well rap, actually. But still, most of them were into music.

I on the other hand had the singing voice of a crock. My ex even cringed when he first heard me sing. Lol. So I kept my singing voice to myself, letting it out only when I’m in the bathroom or if you’re really lucky, when I’m drunk as a skunk.

But nowadays I’m feeling a little brazen, letting the voice belt out to the tune of Lily Allen’s songs. J says I’ve been humming and singing Lily Allen’s it’s not fair for three weeks now and asked why I loved the song so much. Had to assure him it’s not about him, I just effin love the lyrics! Haha.

Independence Day brings back the times I spent on the streets, carrying a placard, and trying like hell to cover my face. As if the media would care who I was. Haha. Another memory is of me toting a camera, trying to capture the flags, the sweaty faces, and the restless energy activists emit on camera.

I miss those days. Joining the rally, there’s always one during independence day, is for me a fitting way to commemorate June 12. Saying happy independence day sounds ridiculous, like a donkey pretending to be a gift horse. Free from the spaniards maybe but not from the hands of the Americans and from the likes of Gloria Arroyo and her cronies at the house of Congress.

I’d love to see a Philippines with a government that is truly for the people. We hear of the conass and I see that dream blurring, but I see and read of people campaigning against it online and offline and I feel hope flutter in me.  I didn’t get to join the gathering along Ayala Ave. yesterday but my heart is with them.

On a happier note, google joins us Pinoys in commemorating the Independence Day with a doodle. Click here to read more about the doodle.

Ha. AH1N1 hits major schools in the metro and the classes are suspended for 10 days or so. Students I bet are jumping over the roof, hehe, can’t blame them. I’d be happy as a bird too if work gets suspended for 10 days. To ateneans and La Sallistas: Give us a visit at the office, I’d kill for that 10 days of no work. Haha! Just kidding peeps!

According to my Chinese zodiac I’m a peace lover and likes to avoid conflict. It’s true and on one hand it’s not. I have a nasty temper but it usually comes and go real quick.  The catch is when I’m angry I lash out and the first person who comes up and talks to me usually gets the flak. Now for my friends it’s pretty normal, they know when I’m mad and they just let me talk it out.

Problem is, I snapped at somebody at work and he wasn’t a friend. Worse, he was a newbie. It wasn’t his fault, he did his job, and there was nothing wrong with how he handled the transfer at all. The culprit? My previous customer. It was 10 in the evening and calls were starting to come in and I only had a minute or so before talking to the next one. Mr. C was stubborn as hell.
