I blog.

Haaay... I thought last week was the worst, then there's tonight. At home and blogging on a SATURDAY NIGHT?! Enough! Strike two ka, tsong. Tama na.

Aaaargh! I couldn't do anything but cry. I was really looking forward to this night. Last week I can understand. I mean, I'm not heartless to make you leave your mom in the hospital just so our plans can push through. But there's no reason for you to leave me hanging tonight. Except that you are a moron yourself. You're no better than Ludwig. Worse even. Coz you had the nerve to hurt me after I poured my heart out about everything Ludwig did. That's what I'm thinking now. So you better prepare a long melodramatic speech to convince me otherwise.

Fuck! My head's so messed up now. Then you go texting me "Sori Floi... Miss you so much... Hifhof pa d2...Ü" Are you mocking me or something?! E gago ka pala e, kung di mo ko iniwan sa ere e di sana kasama mo ko ngayon!

Ugh! Am I glad you're not my boyfriend. Next please.

Or perhaps I am bound to be merely an object of men's masturbatorial fantasies. Never to be loved. Whatever. Save me, Lex?

Haven't had the time to blog lately. But this I'm taking a few minutes off from work to blog.

It happened last Wednesday. It was officially Floi's-a-piece-of-garbage day. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, took a bath, took the first blouse from my closet and left for work without make-up on. You get the picture. I mean, you can tell by my post for that day.

Past 6, Anna Banana texted me that they are on their way to 65B to solicit for the upcoming concert [watch out for that peeps!]. Hazel, J-Fel and Paolo were with her. It so happened that San Beda brods were also gonna have a meeting at 65B for their anniversary celebration. Yey! A chance to see Bacterium. o^_^o Lucky me, the moronic brother did not come again.

To cut the story short, and to get to the climax of the night, Bacterium drove me home and before I got off, I leaned over to kiss him on the cheek as I always do and... He turned his face! We were half lip-to-lip. Hahahaha! Um, not even half, I think only the edges of our lips met. He wanted to kiss me then! I was initially insulted but walking into the house, I was sobrang kilig that I CAN NOT stop smiling.

So, I guess this is it.Ü

My life's been in a whirl these past few days. Thank God for my dear Bacterium who is the only one who has not been putting any pressure on me. Here's the scoop:

Saturday July 24

Chevy's birthday celebration at Common Ground. Bacterium and I hung out at Pier One before going to get drunk on Ba-nge-nge. Awww... I miss Bargo so much.  Bacterium was Cinderella for that night so we had to leave before 12. Whoa! Floi leaving Common ground before midnight on a Saturday! That's something that doesn't happen everyday. Or something that never would have happened if I... :p

Tuesday July 27

Kyle's birthday. Was a pleasant surprise. Was giddy for going all over Makati the whole afternoon before going to the Marc office in Taft. Perhaps losing that office space in Global City was a blessing in disguise. Doubled my work but doubled the fun in the long run. I am SO anticipating being a Makati girl.  Bwahaha! Floi's simple joys. It's the closest as of the moment for me to experience the NY lifestyle.

BND was a bit spaced out today. [Wondering why I was with him? Duh! He's the architect, remember?] Cold and chewing his gum the whole time. Took all my strength not to reach into his mouth and either make him spit or swallow it. FYI, I hate people who chew gum in public. Really annoying.

Got to meet Marie --- the headhunter who practically fell head-over-heels for my boss and grits her teeth at the mere mention of me because she thinks my boss turned her advances down because of moi [haba ng hair ko, grabe na ito]. She turned out nice. Much like myself, actually. 

Bacterium picked me up from Taft then took me to Kyle's celebration. Not surprisingly, the moronic brother wasn't there. Before going, passed by Em's dorm in España and practically kidnapped her and took her with us to the "party". Astig naman. Wanted to take Chevy along but lucky me got Check Op-ed and can't text anymore.

Bacterium said he's willing to wait for me to completely recover and be ready to take the chance again. How sweet. o^_^o

Excuse the senseless narration. I'm in the office and I oughtta be dried-up. Y'know, boring. It's a must in the corporate world I figured.

Floi's Fans' Club

 I have a fans' club! Hahaha! Spearheaded by Bacterium [P. Aeruginosa]. Awww... He knows how to make me smile. :p

Last night made me really happy. But, I'm still scared and I can't let go of my inhibitions. Bummer.

Had dinner at Krokodile then drinks at Gilligan's. He's really nice. But of course, I don't want to make the same mistakes. Y'know what I mean. Nice and Slow this time.

For now, someone please wipe this smile off my face. ^_^ 

Back to Square One

The office relocation project assigned to moi by The Boss took a big plunge as our targeted office space in Global City was leased to another tenant as of 7pm last night. All because of BND's inefficiency.

Someone's being unprofessional. Sheesh... I'm suffering from the consequences of my own inactions [things I refused to do]. No need to be congenial, Mister, just do your job well.

[...]

At this point, no one can be trusted. I can not tell with utmost certainty what the real intentions of people are. It's every man for himself [or woman for herself]. Wish me luck.

Was in Coco Cabana [which Vic liked to call Coco Banana which would send Belle and myself laughing our asses off] last night and there was this guy who sang I'll Be who sounded so much like the dude. Kala ko nga I'll finally get to meet him. Sayang! Hehehe...

Would you believe? After 10 minutes of coaxing, they made me sing Tattooed On My Mind. ONSTAGE. ACOUSTIC. Giselle the performer was just too kind. Woohoo!

He is nice. In fact, he's all that is good and noble in man. But I'm taller than him when I'm on heels. And I'm only 5'2"! Sheesh...

2. an illusory hope

Like Tiepee's, my rainbow is fading. [If it hasn't faded all out yet] I don't know if it is my excessive vulnerability or just plain stupidity but I feel awfully misled by BND's actions.

He must have not meant to but well, his intentions were not clear. [to me] Maybe I just assumed too much. Leave it to me to be assuming.
 
Guys I like shouldn't be nice to me unless they want to reciprocate how I feel. Otherwise, I end up like this.
 
 

Detraumatized

With all the terrible things that happened between Ludwig and me, could anyone blame me for being distrustful of San Beda brods? I am not judgemental nor do I stereotype but something about meeting up with another Bedan brod stirred up paranoia in me.

He was late. I almost left had he not texted me that he was already on the way.  He kept texting someone all through the night. He said his friends are drinking in Cavite urging him to go. But of course he didn't want to. Nice one, brod.

For the mercy of God, my head's still filled with memories of Ludwig. Everything I do with Lex [new brod] reminds me of Ludwig. Heck, everything I do with or without Lex still reminds me of Ludwig. Sheesh. I'm so unfair.

Lex is right; I oughtta get myself treated by a shrink.

Did y'all know that July is National Disaster Consciousness Month? Well, considering the first two days of this week, I am now conscious that disaster strikes when you least expect it.

Major booboo galore yesterday at work. Talk about starting the week right. So, I unwound with Vic at Fussion Bar in Malate. Actually, not exactly unwound coz we basically talked about work work work. But it's all good --- Everything's all good over Weng-Wengs and a Long Island. :p

On the other hand, BND sympathized. Oh, my dear overworked architect. Wawa naman...Okeiii lang... Love naman kita eh! Haha! Loser me.

BND is mine. mine! mine! mine! I just need to cut my hair short coz that's how he likes 'em... NOT! As if I'll change me for a guy. Hmmm... Well, maybe for this one.Ü
[Leng blogs about this topic too]

Only bummer in our perfect "1st date" as he put it which he corrected to "1st encounter" after this pakipot girl begged to differ was that he took me to Skylane in VIVERE Suites which brought so much Astro-memories. And I'm not even making a big deal of the [major bummer] fact that I was wearing a baby tee, jeans and slides! Talk about making a good first impression. Haaay... But, he didn't make a big deal out of it either so consider it overlooked.

Well, we both admitted we had fun. I really did!Ü As in, like sobra. Hahaha! Y'know I'm into a guy when I'm starting to talk like a conio airhead. Hahahaha!

I actually shouldn't be blogging about this coz he might visit this soon. And I have to make the time to screen out all the previous posts where he was mentioned. On the other hand, I'm hoping he'll get to read this so he doesn't have to throw those mind-bloggling quetions at me anymore. Hahaha! Dream on, Floi!:p

Oh and don't forget, he is still the architect who talks to YOUR boss about your upcoming new office.

As it turns out, the hook-up did not take place last night coz the prospect lives in QC and that's a long way from Malate. Next week for sure coz that's probably our last night out with Marnie. But I dunno if I'm still up for it. Oh sheesh, he's not leaving in a month, he's leaving on the 24th which is two weeks from now! He cried last night as he dropped us at Loiza's but kudos to the bitch for keeping her composure and not empathizing.

But anyway, would you believe that I didn't F-dance with anyone last night? We were in Common Ground and I didn't. Except for Nog but there's nothing new in that. I even only hit the ledge once! TGIS was practically pushing me towards the ledge as opposed to the past when they practically had to drag me to get me off it.

So then it got me thinking that maybe I'm getting tired of playing THE GAME. Of taking pleasure in teasing the boys and then acting like they can never have me. Of taking my chances with strange men. Of hoping I'll actually find love on the dance floor.

I'm gonna take my time in the dug-out. I've had enough of playing the field. I'm even gonna take a vacation from the night life. I'm sure I'm gonna be missed but I think it's about time I do some soul searching. I want my next relationship to be more than just child's play. Which brings me to...

Work Ethics 101

This is it! I took the risk of succumbing to BND's flirtations. You know a guy's into you when he's willing to pick you up from anywhere anytime. But I guess that doesn't apply to Ludwig. Well, it all started with me texting him about not yet receiving any email from the property broker and then he asked about our badminton game and then the business talk was over. To sum it up, we had an interesting exchange of very personal text messages which resulted to him wanting to meet up. I invited him to join us but he said he's shy around new people. Yah right! The first thing that made me notice him is his ability to make a new person feel comfortable in his company. [Or was that just in my case?Ü] So, he told me to just text him an hour before I'm good to go and then we'll just go someplace else. Told him I probably won't be till close to midnight. He said THAT WAS JUST ABOUT RIGHT. Owkeeeiii... He'll pick me up from Malate at midnight to go someplace else. It's those someplace-elses that gives me the nerves. *chuckles*

Bottomline: we weren't able to meet anyway coz I FORGOT about meeting him and I wasn't able to text him. At past 12, he texted me asking if I still wanna go out. Well, the deal is, I didn't wanna leave my friends for some boy. Not even if he's got a lot of potential to be everything to me. [What song is that line lyrics of?] Not anymore. I'd no longer prioritize my love life over the other aspects of my life. Yihee...

He just texted me now inviting me to play badminton at South Smash and then maybe do something else after. Hmmm... something else after... Sounds appealing. I'd love to go but I already committed to Loiza about watching Spiderman 2 at ATC. Would you believe it? I'm choosing a movie with a girlfriend over something else with a love interest. Incredible. Congratulate me.

Pay It Forward

My congeniality is soon to reap its rewards. Mimon's girlfriend Jewel works at Smart Center in Megamall and she contacted me regarding Smart's week-long-only promo. I can get a Nokia 6600, 6230 or 7200 if I avail of the Plan 800!

Need I think this over? I see 6600 in my dreams! Wehehehe... But Jewel said that there are a lot of bugs in that phone's software so she advised me to get a 6230 instead.

Yey.

Bugawan Alley

Her Royal Bitchiness is gonna hook me up with one of Marnie's friends tonight. Hmmm... I ain't exactly looking for a BF now. A FB will do. Bwahahaha!

But, then, that is how Loiza and Marnie started and look at them now. Last Saturday, Loiza didn't get to enjoy much when we were at San Miguel Food Shop coz Marnie wanted her to go home already. They were practically screaming at each other over the phone. My phone. Plus, my load. Ha! Good thing Marnie hung up on her. Haha! I'm just trippin'. Anyweiz, you know a couple is getting serious when they start fighting. Yep, arguments indicate a deeper relationship. Why? Coz it goes to show that you already care enough about each other that you'd sacrifice stability for the other person's safety.

Speaking of which, TGIS is on standby coz Marnie's leaving for Singapore in a month and we know Loiza will be hella depressed after he leaves even though Loiza keeps denying she will. FYI, he's leaving to get married with his long-time fiancee. huhuhu for my dear friend.

I lost that feeling to blog once again. Except for the previous entry which is a pack of crap [crap! crap! crappiness! so much for my happy ending?! what the...?!], I can't blog about anything though I have a million and one things to blog about. So forgive me if this entry will sound like a bulleted History outline.

• Astro asked me to stay away coz after Saturday, he realized he still can't stand to be with me and not... um, be able to do the things we used to do when we were still together. Whatever makes you happy, man. I'm just here waiting in case you're ready to be friends for real.

• I hate it. Everything reminds me of what's-his-face. I met up with Em and Kinot last night and we zoomed through Macapagal at 140 kph. Remember going 120 on the way to Cloud Nine? Dammit. But what the boy didn't do was stitch through the road at 140. Bwahahaha! How Kinot enjoyed watching me going from left to right coz I was at the backseat and no seatbelt. I love my friends.

• Vic blew my cover with Boy-Next-Door [read: cute architect to design our new office]. We had a lunch meeting at Dome in Shang when Vic brought up that I was disappointed last meeting [read: Teak in Powerplant] coz someone wasn't able to make it. Sheesh... but it's all good. He MIGHT join us for badminton tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

• I have a confession to make. I don't think you're gonna like it. I LIED. I'm the bad guy. Everything I blogged about putcha_gwapo_sya is nothing but a figment of my imagination. Nothing is true. Is it not? Or I just got sick of how he denies everything? Maybe it did happen. He just has a severe case of selective memory. Whatever. I'm moving on. This time it's for real. Coz when I'm hurt, everyone who loves me gets hurt as well. I can't stand that. I can't stand hurting anyone at all.

My Happy Ending

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus]

It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

[Chorus]

Commercial Models [???]

I don't need boys. I can go through life with Roselle and be happy. She's scared. So am I. Even more, I guess. How I miss her. And how I'm gonna miss her some more. Ironic enough that her condition has to worsen just when I'm way over in Manila. Life sucks.

About a Boy...

It is confirmed. Ludwig is a psychologically bothered individual. In short, a bonafide sicko. After hitting on Maessie, the sis's daughter who also happens to be the girlfriend of the head of Perpetual Biñan Chapter, he tried to make it with Steph, his best friend's girlfriend. Oh c'mon!

Now, their barkada's all messed up. Oh man, seems everywhere Ludwig goes, all he brings is trouble and heartaches. So, thanks for choosing Chevy. I sure can't handle being within a meter radius with a downright moron.

I can't believe I associated myself with that boy. whattaloser.

TGIS. No further narrations. You know what happened last night.

Guess who I was with yesterday before going out with TGIS. Just make a wild guess...

uh-huh... uh-yeah... hahaha! I dunno why I typed that but that's what I'm saying inside my head right this moment. coz I'm exchanging airborne messages with Pupu. Nevermind.

Back to the guy whose name is between the =='s. We were supposed to watch Spiderman 2 but due to time constraints, weren't able to. I still had to meet up with TGIS. We just ate dinner at Yoshinoya coz Tokyo Tokyo was overcrowded and well, he can't stand being around more than 5 strangers.

It's the first time we talked after what happened on Kuya's birthday. [See May 30 post] Well, it is a bit awkward but tolerable. Hmmm... I was thinking if it weren't for that pact we made when we were still together to watch the movie, we wouldn't even be together. Haaay...

But I was happy to see him again.Ü

The Past, the Present and the Future

After leaving this post hanging for a couple of days, it's only right that I give this top priority while online. Coz that's what I do, PRIORITIZE. But that's a different story and we'll get to that some day.

So, last week was one hell of an emotional torment to me as I was still holding on to Ludwig's I-love-you's and sweet butterfly kisses. I guess deep inside I was praying hard that he's not the monster that suddenly materialized after that Malate incident. But, he is and I can't do anything about it.

As I mentioned in my June 29 entry, Saturday to Monday was a taste of heaven because I went to LB. Of course, I did whine - that's given. They listened to me intently, occasionally cursing the boy for making me feel less than what I really am. When I think about those moments, I had a quick flashback of my UPLB life.

I was respected, admired, even envied. I radiated an aura of authority and power over my life [or so they say]. I'm not one to sulk over a guy. I'm not even one to go ga-ga over a guy. In short, I was fully in control. So, whatever happened to that FLOI?

That was my past [which is roughly half a year ago]. This is my present. A broken fragile girl. All because of a boy. Somebody bang my head hard on the wall.

Somebody did! And now, I'm stronger than ever. Hard to believe, but I gathered enough strength to be happy once again. I am. I have such a beautiful future ahead of me. Why waste it? If I were able to surpass all the shit I went through in the past, I definitely CAN this time.

Riding in Style

Am I the only one who noticed that Policemen are speeding by in a TOYOTA COROLLA ALTIS?! What the...?

How was the government able to afford at least one for each precint? THAT is sooo infuriating. There they are, complaining about budget deficit and they can still provide luxury cars as police mobiles. I know of a much sought-after accountant who earns big but was oly able to get himself a VIOS. Note the difference.

But Dumz said it's actually a good thing. Coz at least now, with those highly capable cars, they won't have an excuse in not apprehending criminals on the run. Well, let's just see.

Being a Good Samaritan and Being a Good Sigma Betan

That is a tough choice to make. I wanted to donate blood that's why I went to the bloodletting. [though I didn't get to coz I am underweight or their weighing scale is not efficient] Plus, Charm and some LB brods were going and I haven't seen them for a long time. I didn't wanna go coz of that boycott ordinance some sisses agreed to, including me.

Well, someone's making quite a big deal of it and embarassing me in the process. Last night, I was with some brods and sisses in Inihaw Republic in Katipunan in a party thrown by Sis Cha for her boyfriend Brod Denggoy. For some reason, a certain sis, which I'd rather not pinpoint, has trouble letting go and had to bring up the issue AT THE PARTY. It's a party for crying out loud! No problems should be allowed to be discussed.

I was able to avoid getting into trouble the whole night despite the nasty remarks she kept dropping everytime I was within a meter away from her. I don't, after all, make a big deal out of petty things. But what really ticked me off was when she pulled her face away when I tried to make beso before leaving. Everyone witnessed that. My face must've burned a fiery red out of embarassment and fury coz her guy companion comforted me and said goodbye for both of them.

Sheesh... another reason for me to love UPLB Betans. Oh well...

High-tech Call Center?

Someone forwarded to this to me via email. It is funny. But come to think of it, we might not be laughing when this is realized in the future, which is not tad impossible.

Operator: Thank you Mr Sheehan. I see you live at 1742 Meadowland Drive, and the phone number is 494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln Insurance is 745-2302 and your cell number is 266-2566. Email address is sheehan@home.net. Which number are you calling from sir?
Customer: Huh? I'm at home. Where'd you get all this information?

Operator: We're wired into the HSS, sir.
Customer: The HSS, what is that?

Operator: We're wired into the Homeland Security System, sir. This will add only 15 seconds to your ordering time.

Customer: (sighs) Oh well, I'd like to order a couple of your All-Meat Special pizzas.
Operator: I don't think that's a good idea, sir.

Customer: Whaddya mean?
Operator: Sir, your medical records and commode sensors indicate that you've got very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your National Health Care provider won't allow such an unhealthy choice.

Customer: What?!?! What do you recommend, then?
Operator: You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I'm sure you'll like it.

Customer: What makes you think I'd like something like that?
Operator: Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from your local library last week, sir. That's why I made the suggestion.

Customer: All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then.
Operator: That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids,and your 2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is $49.99.

Customer: Lemme give you my credit card number.
Operator: I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash.Your credit card balance is over its limit

Customer: I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your driver gets here.
Operator: That won't work either, sir. Your checking account is overdrawn also.

Customer: Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I'll have the cash ready. How long will it take?
Operator: We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45 minutes, sir. If you're in a hurry you might want to pick'em up while you're out getting the cash, but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be a little awkward.

Customer: Wait! How do you know I ride a scooter?
Operator: It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your car got repo'ed. But your Harley's paid for and you just filled the tank yesterday.

Customer: Well, I'll be a #%#^^&$%^$@#
Operator: I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a July 4, 2003 conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see here in September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge. Oh yes, I see here that you just got out from a 90 day stay in the State Correctional Facility. Is this your first pizza since your return to society?

Customer: (speechless)
Operator: Will there be anything else, sir?

Customer: Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke.
Operator: I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause prevents us from offering free soda to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits this. Thank you for calling Pizza Hut.

Awwww... NOT!

Ain't my present soundtrack lovely? Listen carefully to the lyrics. This is the best unlove song ever. Will blog later. Am in the office.Ü

Gonna play badminton with the workmates after work! Woo-hoo!

hahaha! THAT is how I text. Hang-over. Been exchanging airborne messages with Chevy the whole afternoon.

The Past, the Present and the Future

Roselle asked last night how I am doing now. My reply? I never thought going back to the past will help me [enjoy the present and] move on to the future.

(to be continued when I get home... or maybe tomorrow if I go to Arkdia after badminton.:p)
