Tiara-Ra

***How not to do your laundry: Lump everything in one basin, add water, detergent powder, and leave it for an hour or two. The result? Formerly white towels are now sporting a light pink color. And 2 of my new tank tops are now sporting a different color too. All because I couldn’t wait for the nice woman from the laundry shop to pick up my laundry.Raawr.

***Why do women let men carry their handbags? I don’t remember having a man carry my handbag for me just for show but I do remember some of my friends back in highschool doing it. My office mate says he makes sure he has a backpack so he can just stuff his girlfriend’s shoulder bag if she asks him to carry it for her. Methinks the office mate either wants to get in her pants so bad he couldn’t risk the girl going off in a sulk or he’s too afraid of his girlfriend? Haha. I know it looks silly but I think women who let their men carry their teeny weeny bags are sending out a message to the rest of the world: “This is my man, do not TOUCH!”

***Why can’t we have houses with no stairs? I hate the damn contraptions. I nearly fell (for the nth time) yesterday. And no, I wasn’t drunk, I was sleepy. I swear, stairs are going to be the death of me.

***On the bright side, D. is coming over!!! I know we didn’t part in good terms and we have to talk about a few things but still, I can’t wait to see him. I’m putting things on hold and clearing everything on my calendar so we could spend a few days to bond and talk about stuff. We’re thinking of spending a few days in Tagaytay but my heart’s set on Baguio (again..hehe). I know, I know, I am addicted to thrift shopping. Haha.

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.

Looking for an apartment in Makati?

You won’t be the first one. By now I’m so used to people talking about moving out that I’ve created my own spiel for that. Here goes:

“Have you tried looking for one online? No? You should, maybe you’d get lucky like me. And besides the tools are right in front of you–pc, internet, and a phone at the lobby. Try it.” (more…)

Just a few months ago everybody was bristling with indignation over what Teri Hatcher’s character in Desperate Housewives had to say about doctors from the Philippines. Statements attesting to the “professionalism” and “expertise” of our medical practitioners were bandied about in the news, in blogs, and just about everywhere. But now one foolish doctor decides to post a video in youtube.com thinking it will be downright funny to watch them cheering and making fun of their patient. Okay, I have to admit the situation was funny. Gay guy gets too drunk to notice that his partner shoves in a canister in his ass. But the guy was dead serious when he went to the hospital and have the canister removed. he was a patient and they were doctors. the patient fully expected the doctors to treat him with all the respect they could muster: meaning his right to privacy should have been respected. that they laughed and jeered on him during the operation was bad enough but to post the video on youtube? oh come on. they’re nuts. they deserve to be horsewhipped.
