What I've Been Up To Lately

My first post for 2012!

I have been playing a LOT of video games for the past months. It started with just playing Parasite Eve on the PSP. But I got stuck and was frustrated and annoyed so I went looking for other games. Then I started playing Alice Madness Returns which gave me motion sickness. So I decided to stop for a while and search for other games again. Then I alternately played FFXIII, Marvel VS Capcom and Little Big Planet. I started to play Guitar Hero again to upgrade my "guitar" skills. hahaha. I purposely stopped  playing MMORPG's because it's the most addicting. But again, I have fallen to its' power and participated in the closed beta testing of Level Ups' newest addition: Bounty Hounds PH. With all these games, I have no more social life! hahaha.

Got my parcel from Amiami last Jan 18. And found out that it has been sitting there since Jan. 10. Lazy post office people! They have not even sent the notification letter yet. My sister also asked about our other parcel but the dude there said that it wasn't there and said that my sister should come some other day. If I know, our other package was already there but they are too lazy to check it.

I haven't touched the camera since the new year and I'm itching for a shoot.

I will not write a new years resolution because as far as I remember.... I can't remember ever writing one(well except for that high school essay). Instead, here are my goals for this year:

-make at least 2 music videos
-have at least 4 photo shoots
-post more on tumblr, figure.fm and deviantart
-blog every month
-attend as many cosplay conventions as possible. haha
-edit and upload pictures promptly
-read more books
-travel outside the Philippines =3
-save for an external flash and a tripod
-try not to be late for work.XD
-should organize this blog and add the long overdue pictures

And now that I have started writing this entry, I forgot the other stuffs.XD

here's what my nails look like for this week. hahaha

black and red to match the controller

First few weeks at work

ok. so now i have a job.
that means waking up early. T_T

as the new kid i tend to be shy, silent, eyes straight to the monitor , yada yada <---typically me. they taught me what to do and i follow them. duh. the first week was my trial week and i think i did good. but then my body wasn't able to cope up with my new lifestyle and guess what? i felt weird and had to get a sick leave on the first Friday of my first week at my first job. hahahaha.  the culprit? lack of sleep! i was only able to sleep 8 hours a day and as i have said in my previous entry, i need at least 10 hours of sleep.-_-

the 2nd week was a lot better. i was given more sites to handle so that means more work. i'd rather work than do nothing. the not so good part is that every morning i had to go to the CSR's(Customer Service Representative) corner to do my work since we still lack computer units. there something about their aura that makes me feel... well, i don't know... not right. i feel a lot better after 10 am since i transfer to my teams' corner or aisle or whatever it's called. hahaha. and the aura of the gamers  are comforting. it's like college all over again. and yes, there is an invisible wall between the CSRs and the gamers. i can feel it. oh, we also transferred to the next room. the silence is just deafening. i totally miss the constant jokes from the gamers. the new room is just sssooooooo quiet. no music since someone says so=( and we had to endure a week of glaring sun in the morning because the blinds were not installed yet.

3rd week is here. a bit busy because of the new assignments. i almost got soaked under the rain yesterday even though i had an umbrella. the weather lately is unpredictable. the blinds were finally installed yesterday and i got my first paycheck today.;] and we are looking forward to our new team  mates.

~i take in drugs(vitamins) every morning to boost my stamina.
 ~i usually don't eat breakfast but i am slowly learning how coz i get hungry before the clock strikes lunch.XD so i started eating oatmeal last Monday.
~a 4-6 minute early morning walk would do me good. stamina boost!!!
~is mastering the technique of crossing a crossing(you know, where all the cars from different directions meet. you know what i mean?) it is faster this way instead if going to the pedestrians' crossing at the other block.
~we also develop a habit of eating Chuckie popsicles after lunch. it is healthy anyway. just like drinking milk but frozen.
~eating lunch is ok too. not too expensive. just like college=] i even get to eat at Tagalas last week=D
~i am loving my team.


Workmates:

~i know Glorie is an anime fan but i don't think she knows that i know.
~i like Jo's choice of music.
~our team leader Xylon(i love her name, it is so cool), let us do whatever we want as long as we do our job well and meet deadlines. a pretty cool team right? Girl Power!!!
~together with our TL are Keith and Charisse. they are super fun especially Keith.
~there is also another Keith: the writer. haven't talked to him much because he only comes to work if he is required to write something.
~i forgot about Den, he is part of our team although he uuuhhmm... i think he doesn't like his work but i am pretty sure he likes playing Dota
~we also have our programmers: John and En, they are both funny although En already went to work with another company.

~there is also Angie, the one who cleans the 7th floor, she is so friendly.
~i didn't get all the names of the gamers coz there are a lot of them but all are funny. being with them reminds me a lot of college days.
~the CSRs..... are..... English speakers.XD playing while taking calls. Multi-tasking=D


oh! it is almost 10 pm. time to sleep

Last few days as a bum

for the last four days, i kept on sleeping and waking up late. since i know that once i enter the real world, i wont be able to sleep for more than 10 hours.

i was planning on doing an anime marathon but ended up watching only 2 episodes of Hayate no Gotoku.
because i can't let go of the PSP. at least i was able to finish Aquas' story before the end of the week.:D
all that is left are to collect all the treasures & stickers, do some melding and maybe unlock the secret movie. i am playing Kingdom hearts: Birth by Sleep by the way.

when it comes to these kind of situations in my life, i always feel confused.@_@
i don't know if i should be happy or sad.

i will be sad because i had to leave my unproductive life. my unproductivity(is there even such a word?XD) is caused by video games, anime marathons, movie marathons, failed attempt of our secret projects, love of sleep .... i am gonna miss all of these. hahahaha

i will officially start work tomorrow which makes me happy, excited.... afraid? hahaha
this means i had to wake up early again just like school but hey! at least it's not an hour away from our house. and i can exercise every weekday.

i better start sleeping early now...... NOT! our neighbors are very noisy. can't sleep while they are singing like they are gonna join a contest on who is the best singer in the universe.  uuhhhhggggg....
