Text message from 2327 10/08/05 3:15 pm: ACNRECMGR3 Kindly check your email regarding the status of your application in (name of company). Thanks.
Checked my e-mail immediately (excited e). I did not really read first the seemingly long message. Putcha, parang automated message. It really is. "Regretfully, after careful consideration of our current requirements, we find that we are unable to offer you a position at this point in time." Then there's nothing but blank stare at the monitor.
Suddenly I felt hopeless for about five minutes. Then I'm good again. Hehe. Akala ko talaga OK na. Oh yes dear, stuck pa rin ako sa IMES. Pft.
Sa inis, nag-Ragnarok na lang ako. Buti pa dun naglelevel-up ako. /wah.

Anu kaya kung makasalubong ko sa kanto namin si Obi Wan 'Ben' Kenobi..
L: Nice to meet you Sir Jedi Master Ben. Well.. may the Force be with you.
O: The Force will be with you, always.
L: What's with this Force anyway..
O: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
L: Wow. Can I be so lucky enough to utilize this Force, too?
O: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.
L: (Amps. Antipatiko to a)
O: That's your uncle talking.
L: I'm sorry. (How the hell?) Anyway, I understand you had been well travelled all throughout the galaxy, do you have any favorite spot which you would like to visit again?
O: Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
L: We? Wut.. I mean you don't wanna bring me there, do you? I know you're a great Jedi, but you're aging, how am I suppose to even get out of there alive?!
O: Use the Force, Luke!
L: Luke?! I'm Lon, I'm not Luke.. you gotta be mistaken, mister Jedi Master..
O: (Handing Lonix something)
L: What's this?
O: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did. It's your father's lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.
L: Great. First you called me Luke. Then my father's a Jedi. Now you're giving me a.. flashlight? OK, wise one.. can the Force tell me where my father is, huh?!
O: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights. He betrayed and murdered your father.
L: Nampucha?! You're out of your mind old man, I'm outta here.. I've got work tomorrow and it's late. See, the moon's up already..
O: That's no moon. It's a space station.
Amfs. Wag na lang.

gastosness
Amfness. Mukang sunod-sunod ang magiging gastos ko next week a.. una mag-aanak ako sa binyag ng nth child ni Jerico sa Oct 12. Tragis e wala naman sya sa dito sa pinas.. then kasal sa Oct. 15 naman ng tropa naming si Curlytops (Johnmel ang pangalan nya talaga; kulot kasi sya). Siyempre ambag-ambag ang tropa pambili ng kahit na anong appliance na made in Kuriya .. at ang pandiin ay natuklasan ko ngayun-ngayun lang (flash report!!) sa drawer ko dito sa office table.. 1st birthday ng anak ni pareng Kiko (colleague dito sa office) sa Oct. 15 din. Hectic di ba?
So kung susumahin, humigit-kumulang (calculating... ... 1011010110101111011010011010..) Php1600 ang kailangang ipagluwa ng gasgas na gasgas na atm card ko. Based yan sa Php55.770 = $1 (Disclaimer: These are based on Philippine Dealing System rates.Actual bank rates may vary.) Hay. Akala ko pa naman may budget surplus ako from last payday.. pero meron pa rin pala, mababawasan lang.. sana wag ako holdapin ng nanay ko until next week. hekhek.
eto pala yung picture ng message of doom. wokokokok.

from the grave
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

No sir/ma'am, this very inspirational piece from his Airness got nothing to do with this post. Nor it has something to explain about me taking a virtual.. gadz, I forgot the term.
Anyways.. Some might think a lot had happened while I was away from blogging. Unfortunately, things are all the same. There are some changes which I am working on.. but I won't disclose them for the meantime until results are evident. herherher. Pahiyang ba. Bottom line is, I don't want to end the year in status quo. Idleness is bad, it is where dengue comes from (think about stagnant water).
So what made me do this once more? I kinda miss it actually. Dito na nga lang ang medyo may talent ako, hindi ko pa gagawin, hehe. And to the fact that I can access the internet again while on graveyard shift, I decided to take advantage of it. I don't expect myself to be able to do this at home. For some reason, my PC workstation there is not conducive for thinking.. hmm.. I think I should buy a suitable office chair. Basta. From what I read somewhere, a blogger (actually I typed 'blooger') will always be a blogger. Talaga?
Me magbabasa kaya? No, and I really don't expect it (unless I bloghop for half a day). Since the time I built this page, there have been a limited number of people (at least the one I know) coming by. I guess they find me uninteresting (hahaha!), or they find my grammar very bad. I prefer the first one. It's not that important to me, I guess, but somehow it's nice to have an interaction sometimes. So if someone, by act of the heavens, accidentally pointed his/her browser here, please spread the word. I am back. As if I was missed.
