Lost my wallet.
Don't even know where. Or how.
Apparently no one's been using my cards naman.
Good.
But still.
Hassle.
Fohtah.

1 Equitable Visa card (easily replaced)
1 Citibank Mastercard (easily replaced--tumatagingting na PHP440)

first date
Had a raucous time last Friday night at Vox, this little videoke bar in one of the LPL buildings along Alfaro (now Leviste) in Salcedo Village. We were teasing this technician with one of the cashiers and since the bosses were with us, they deigned to have their pictures taken together. Funny.

oh yeah
Passed by the dread pirate den.
Lotsa people.
Some guy was looking for Buffy DVDs. Oh well. I want the originals which have all the special features. But that's going to cost me my trip to Bacolod, which I'm not ready to pass up.
I did manage however to score copies of
I now have about a hundred pieces of DVD contraband from the dread pirate dens. (Roughly 8,000 bucks--I could have bought originals of two seasons of Buffy.) I still maintain though that I will watch the films I feel are worthy at the theaters. Which is why I've watched Return of the King twice (and going on three) and am waiting for The Last Samurai, Mona Lisa Smile, and maybe Gothika.

I did manage however to score copies of
- Love Actually (very bad copy, and I couldn't understand Martine McCutcheon (?), the love interest of Hugh Grant) - Billy Bob Thornton makes a cameo and did I say I loved Colin Firth! (I love Colin Firth!)
- Big Fish - ah Ewan. And what seems to be a promising story from Tim Burton.
- The Cat in the Hat - will never watch this is the moviehouse but want to see how Dakota Fanning and that boy from The Kid (little Bruce Willis) look like now; also anything with Kelly Preston is eye candy... sigh lesbian tendencies showing...
- Harry Potter 1 and 2 - for my little sister who doesn't get to watch movies
- Saving Private Ryan
- Underworld - finally a clear copy
- Kill Bill vol. 1
- audio CD of Everything But the Girl which has the acoustic covers of Time After Time and Love is Strange in the same disc, not to mention the staples like Old Friends, Driving and of course Didn't Know I Was Looking for Love--now this is worth everything I spent there that day

and me still with no RotK post
I *am* writing about it. But I am buried under a deluge of work, sideline, sister's birthday celebrations, and the process of getting to know an officemate with a guy problem better--maybe in the hopes of gaining a new friend and diverting my attention from my own guy problem (lack thereof being the problem).
get thee behind me Murphy!
Take a forgotten cellphone, a busted PC, a cranky internet connection, three meetings thrust upon me and a deadline for a first endeavor for a specific magazine with people I'm trying to impress. Fabulous.
Am now at an internet café sending out an article that was supposed to have been sent out last Tuesday. Unfortunately that day I had forgotten my cellphone at home. I didn't know that I had to resend it and the person's email address was in my cellphone. Tuesday to Thursday: an aggregate of sixteen hours at meetings! Egad!
Was also waiting for my contact for my corporate article, but LS (managing ed) said send the first one anyway. The ISP at work is offline. BRILLIANT! (Notice this is my first blog in days too.)
Okay I will send from the house. Ahahahaha. PC is acting up. SCORE! Murphy's Law does it again!
I decide to sleep it off. So here I am now with a throbbing headache playing hooky tyring to salvage what little reputation I have left with LS and T., who recommended me to LS. Egad is the word.
At least I smell good. Escada Sexy Graffiti. Hehe.

extra extra
Found P500 in my wallet that's unaccounted-for. Ah, simple pleasures. At least this means a few days of not scrimping by brown-bagging lunch (ok so it's not brown-bagging but rather Tupperware-ing); and I got to pass by a "dread pirate" den and got myself a copy of the new Josh Groban and a best of Harry Connick Jr. Okay, okay, I do actually want to give royalties where royalties are due, but things are pretty tight for the month because our last payday was Dec. 23 and the next one will be at the start of February. Ah, excuses, excuses!
Haven't passed by my regular dread pirate den recently. All the expenses of the Christmas season, not to mention the hustle and bustle leaving not much time for anything else. I wonder if there will be a lot of police dudes cracking down (it being campaign season and everything); also if there will be a lot of new titles, but then there usually are. People I know are usually concerned at I go to my regular dread pirate den by myself. I don't know, it seems quite alright that I do go there alone, although I wouldn't dare going solo to Divisoria. Maybe because it's also in Makati--Makati being safe haven for me, hometown and all.
I do have to check out Z.'s suggested dread pirate den too. After all, I braved calling his house and talking to dread ex-future-mother-in-law to find out where it was. Whah-pak!
plastic
I don't know if it's being plastic but Co-conspirator and myself are back on speaking terms and actually smiling at each other. I go back to my being able to forgive quite easily but of course things are never going to be the same. I wonder what I did (in this life or any past life) that made me deserve all this bad guy karma. Oh well. You make your own bed...

A Long-Expected Party
The 2nd Philippine Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention is in town! I don't really know if I can hang around the Pinoy Slayer booth (my never having attended a thon, field trip or cattle call adding to my shyness) although I'm quite excited. Was supposed to attend the first one last year but I didn't have the time (that was the start of the seventy-hour workweeks). So maybe this year I will actually go. I think I also want to go check out the Philippine Tolkien Society.

__________
Delivered my speech for the Employee of the Year awarding. Voice was quivering because I hadn't spoken in public for a long time. I said I was just doing my job, the heck. Hehe. Quoted Churchill: "I am an optimist. There's not much sense in being anything else." Apparently a lot of people like Churchill here at the office. Either that or they're all pulling my leg that they liked my speech.
__________
Things with co-conspirator have come to a head. I told his good friend (G.F.)about it and G.F. (who is also my good friend and confidante) felt betrayed. That was some can of worms I opened up. Co-conspirator is now acting cool towards me even if G.F. didn't tell him that I was the one who told him. I think I've wrecked a pretty good friendship although I think it was already headed there beginning that night with the hangover.
__________
Apparently boys are not worth crying over. Makes me feel stupid for all that crying I've been doing the past seven years.
__________
I've found that if you pop some microwave popcorn (Jolly Time Butterlicious) in the pantry, three-fourths of the floor can smell it.
__________
Am attending the christening of my twelfth godchild on Sunday. Gadzooks I feel old. My oldest godchild is thirteen this year.
__________
I still have not found time to write about Return of the King even if I've watched it last Dec. 17 yet. Been quite happy gloating about watching the first screening to everyone who hasn't watched it yet though. Woohoo!

ate shawie's birthday
Wow, I never forget Sharon Cuneta's birthday! I don't know why. It's such a nice date, January 6. Feast of the Epiphany. Visit Ate Shawie's website.
Christmas officially ends today
But there's no law saying you can't feel Christmas-y the whole year through!

hiatus
Am back.
With a vengeance of sorts.
Missed blogging for the past two weeks, am having withdrawal symptoms. Well not really, but I've felt like I've got so much to say and I don't know how and where to begin.
So I'll just start typing.
