Sketchbook

I just wanted to vent out before I leave the office...

Well, so far, we've had a trainer whom I don't really know if he's still okay... He gets mad, and expects a lot from us, then he sends us on long breaks... I dunno what the breaks are for but I sure hope he was doing something work related...

Next, some of the people here are just plain hard to adjust with... Just earlier, one of the "elitist" (or so I think) began asking me odd questions... Or should I say "rude" questions... And I'm a bit offended but I still answered the guy...

Also, it's frustrating me as much as it frustrates my trainer that a LOT of people in my wave just don't seem to pick up what's being taught... It's sad really, they get emotional and such, I wish they did well first...

Ah well...

So, am here at my best friend's, I'm supposed to stay here tomorrow until the tech guy arrives to fix the internet...

What has happened the last few days...? Whew, this would be quite a story...

Well, it starts off with me tagging along a "bonding" session last Friday midnight... After a few beers we go around town on a joy ride... :-$

We stayed at a friend's pad and cooked breakfast... After a few hours nap, I was told that they'd be dragging me to NCO to apply for work... And there I was, kidnapped... [i]XD[/i]

We moved to another house and my resume was made while having lunch... 1" x 1" pics were also taken... And to top it off, they lent me a pink polo and leather shoes to look the part of an applicant...

Applying took a lot of time, we sat there for 3hours+ before we were called and I think they almost forgot us... [i]XP[/i]

After the 13 part test was the screening, and we were told to return the following day at 10am for the next interview...

So after another bottle of beer, I pick up my stuff at my friend's house and finally head home...

I only had munchkins and a burger before I hit the sack around 1:30am... And I got up 3:30am to get ready to grab breakfast with Nona and her officemates...

I was annoyed by the fact that I was going to be late that I took a cab since buses were scarce that time...

I got to her office on time, and ,along with Maiko and mike, we hitched a ride with her officemate...

"Bellore" was the name of the restaurant if i remember correctly, and the breakfast buffet was quite a treat, with fried rice, hotdogs, lumpia, eggplants, okra, veggie omelette, champorado, arroz caldo, pancit canton, maja blanca, and refillable iced tea to boot, it was very filling for a hungry Sketch... [i]XD[/i]

We took a cab to the ward to rest up a bit then took another cab to NCO... [i]XP[/i] I've been taking cabs quite a lot but I guess it couldn't be helped since I was running late...

The interview didn't really take too long, actually, it didn't feel like an interview, it was more likely an acquaintance asking me about stuff...

I was then endorsed to the next interview, Monday 10pm...

So Nona and I headed to Glorietta for some DM/GF V5... :)

After some slushy drinks and a few rounds of Marvel vs Capcom 2, we went back to the ward by train & jeep...

I finished up defrosting my friend, Frostbite the fridge... Nona unplugged the fridge for hours so the ice melted leaving the kitchen a watery mess... [i]XP[/i]

Mae Ann was talking to Nona over the phone and suddenly she wanted to go to the ward... And we were expecting Nii-chan already...

The next thing to do was cook dinner, we sorta haven't eaten much all day and Nona needed to drink meds... And on the menu was chicken fingers, sisig, and noodles...

Then Nii and Mae arrived, along with Kuya Celmer so we had to go elsewhere to be able to chat and drink... And Dix let us in to his pad once again...

Yet again, we took a cab... [i]XD[/i] And we were greeted warmly by Dix who seemed to have cleaned up since last we were there... Lol...

We drank, talked, and just relaxed... I kinda can't elaborate further on what happened, gomen... I slept around 5:30am and got up around 9am...

More talking occurred, stories of old were heard... It went on like that until Dix cooked up Crab and Corn soup for lunch... And I sure enjoyed the crabs... >:) Until 5pm, all we did was just lounge around the house... Thanks to Dix again...

Nii-chan went home leaving Nona, Mae, and myself. We stopped by Jollibee before Mae went home... I accompanied Nona to buy some detergent before taking her to the jeepney stop...

I then went to Megamall expecting to see my son or random friends... But to no avail, I was given alone time... I went home and actually rested after all that has happened...

I had to do laundry, type a quotation then e-mail it, and the same old house chores before I could meet Nona, but I was late... [i]XP[/i] Even the MRT was running slower than it normally does...

With Nona heading to the office, I met up with Tops, the guy I'll be working with in NCO if we both pass... We were asked to stop by Sahara and I had a quick game of DM/GF V & Masterpiece Gold...

I cooked hotdogs and eggs for dinner there, I was starving as well... Again, we made another stop at a friend's then take a cab which made us late for the interview... Gah...

Operations interview went well, even I can't believe it... We were asked to return Tuesday 3pm for the Job offer...

We "celebrated" and had a round of beer before I slept around 3-4am at Sahara...

I got up around 10am and just stayed there waiting for reimbursement so I could go home, but time was running out so I opted to "make ways" to get home...

Upon getting home, I searched my stuff for papers I needed, ate lunch, took a bath, then rushed back to NCO...

I had to wait to be called again since I was tardy, Tops made it in time for the roll call... And all we did was sign and write our personal details over and over...

After that Tops went to SM North and I met Nona at Trinoma before I hung out in SM North as well...

I took the train before the mall started closing...

That basically covers the last few days...

The weekend was a blast... Saturday started off with me going to my best friend's to use iTunes... I needed to slam a few songs in Reiji, I miss my other mp3s...

Then off to Shang for some DM V3 and to meet Nona...

After a few games, we went to do her grocery and finally meet the other Furubans at  imezone...

We ate KFC and hung out in the mall 'til closing... Then we stopped by Emerald Ave. before we crashed at the house of Dix... [i]XD[/i]

The house of Dix was fine, there was Pusoy Dos, Tong its, Ginebra, Artic, Coors, internet, and of course, Boy Bawang Puto Seko! :))

By then, I finally asked if there should be an addition to Furuba... Hence, lo and behold, a new Furuban!

Sunday, well, I accompanied my girlfriend to her pad carrying the groceries, then we went to SM North so she could get her brother a birthday present...

Then, time to part... :(

Ah well... Today, I had a hair spa treatment, with many thanks to my girlfriend! We met earlier, so I could show her my hair, and just be with her... [i]XD[/i]

I finally had time to sit down and blog... I've been quite busy the last few days... why? I now have my first girlfriend...

she's a lot of firsts and only's for me... and I'm not planning on replacing her... I can't even imagine having another person instead of her, it wouldn't seem right to me... and it's funny that she's made me eat my own words... I'm not regretting that she did... I actually think that she's the one who will make me a better person... and it'd be great if that's the case...

I remember my first kiss, it was the result of "stealing" one from me... and I remember the most memorable kiss, it marked the day that we became a couple...

she's the first to have also encountered all 9 of my personas, and she managed to get along with all of them... maybe not the easiest way, but she had ways to befriend all of them...

I remember the first time I cooked Adobo for her, I was trying to imitate the way she did it, but of course with my style of cooking, and she liked it anyway, though she tried to take over the first time I actually tried to prepare it for her...

there's also the first time she sent me an SMS... I replied so politely back then, unlike now, where I tease her once in a while or just check up on her...

my first disappointment with her would probably be a misunderstanding... I thought she had a boyfriend, so I got mad, it turns out, she turned the guy down and gave her a gift instead, I took it the wrong way... and boy was I sorry for not listening to the explanation immediately...

I was surprised when we first went to her house in Bulacan... never would I have imagined that she lives there... and  even got angry because of a sofa... XD


I could go on and on... but the last thing I'm going to say is... she may be the first to touch my heart...

Time flies, and I haven't noticed that I don't go online much anymore... And before I'm online almost every single day... Ah well, maybe I can get back the habits after a few more adjustments...

I now have my cross again... It's quite special for me because it's a symbol of friendship... And I rarely take it off, usually only when I take a bath... I just hope that I don't lose this one, I've already lost three of it since I bought my first one years ago...

Spending time with special people took its toll on me... I seem to have lost track of time... I constantly find myself thinking about what I've done the last few days and I get surprised that I've already done so much and slept so little...

Time's moving so fast, and yet I haven't started on that job hunt I'm supposed to go... Anyway, I'm hoping friends can aid me with that...

I haven't been to my best friend's as well, it should be about a month already... As much as I want to go there, he doesn't seem to reply to my messages, he may just be busy (I sorta am myself)...

Don't you wish a day had 48 hours? Or that we can slow down time?

Anyway, I haven't been online for a while, obviously, I just seem to not mind being online much anymore... Uhhh... Bah...

I'm currently trying to build up alcohol resistance so I can at least drink a few bottles of beer without Ren, Scribble, or Diablos popping out... At most, I've had 4 bottles of Coors, and the last two were getting warm when I drank them... Blargh...

I've been out of the house quite often these days... Surprisingly, I've travelled in broad daylight, unlike my habit of going out at around 6pm...

I've been able to grab hold of time with other friends... It just seems weird that we were destined to meet the other day... It was kinda fun seeing old friends, and crashing spontaneously at a friend's house... XD

Oh, change might just be around the corner, or maybe I'm already there... But I think there's a chance that I may be regaining old traits of mine... Whatever, I don't have the foggiest, as usual...

Ah heck, let's just think as we go!

from what has happened the last few weeks, it made me look at my avatar again... he was regarded once as "naive", and I have the sinking feeling that I take after my hero...

then, a question popped in my head... who would be my hero's buddy?

it's actually sad that they had to fight the other at one point, but both of them were fighting for each other's sake... their concern for the other is something worth fighting for, but then again, if both of them were right, why does the battle hurt so much...?

ultimately, one of them has to lose... of course, in the game my hero would always win... but that's not really how it goes in real life... how do you fight someone whom you don't want to hurt?

my hero has been fooled once, twice, and maybe even more than that... he's also been betrayed by those pretending to his allies... hidden villains... don't even wonder how I get such ideas...

I don't wanna think that I'm THAT special, but I think I'm in the middle of something I overlooked...

anyway, I may have found that "buddy" I was looking for... and just like in the game, he may go berserk on me anytime, and it scares me to go against him but if I have no choice, it would hurt me more to hurt him...

I just hope he doesn't get affected by the virus... knowing him, he's a lot stronger than the virus... yet, the virus is of his own image... yeah, he himself is one of the factors whether or not he would go berserk...

yeah, I'm "X", and somewhere out there is my "Zero"... you've heard this a lot already, "Stay safe"...

this'll be my first entry for Live Journal...

I'll just tell you about "Hreowan"...

to start things off, it wasn't really my intention to use this name here... it just so happened tat my preferred usernames were taken... O started thinking for a while 'til I remembered this name, "Hreowan"...

it's where the word "rue" was derived from... it means "sorrow"... and it's also a kind of plant... but I'd stick with the "sorrow" definition... people barely use the word, so I'm pretty sure "Hreowan" would be unused...

of all words, why "rue" anyway? simple, he's a videogame character from an RPG people barely saw and maybe even played... but I liked the game since then...

voila! until now, the guys is still stuck with me as one of the few who actually gave notice to this lonely game..
