In my previous entry, I talked about my stressful day. After writing that article, I tried to relax by watching "Lolita", a movie about Humbert Humbert's lovelife with a nymphet. After watching the movie, I still couldn't sleep so I watched another - "Dangerous Liaisons" a movie based on the French novel in which "Cruel Intentions" (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Philippe) was based. I liked the movie though I hated the role of Michelle Pfeiffer coz she was so iyakin. Anyway, the movie ended and I still couldn't sleep, so I watched "Scorpio Nights" - that erotica movie of Peque Gallaga. Haha remember the 80s scene -- men wearing nothing but very tight, very short denim shorts, sweaty bodies, playing basketball. With bulging crotches. Wala lang I find it funny lang. Anyway, I got these vcds from an officemate. Three movies in a row and still I couldn't sleep. I was not taking drugs but I was really paranoid. I was imagining tragedy, accidents, people lurking in the dark... I called my bf at 3:00am, even my mom who's in the states. Na napraning din.
I realized, Starbucks did this.
I drank one Tall cup of house blend brewed coffee and the effect lasted for 8 hours. (had my coffee at 9:00pm, slept at around 5 am).
Coffee and a stressful day is powerful than drugs.
Cheaper pa...

Reminiscing Elbi Days
I miss elbi.
I miss elbi.
I miss elbi.
Whenever I feel stressed out, I always think of my Elbi (UP Los Banos) days. Thinking of it somehow relaxes my mind. I really miss my Elbi days. Someday, I will retire and live there.
Since I can't afford yet to buy a piece of LB land, I will just list down here the things I miss most:
1. my sorority sisses
2. tambayan in front of biosci
3. my funny brods
4. intellectual-drunk (daw) discussion
5. clean air
6. star gazing
7. campus
8. elbi people
9. rock concerts
10. auie nikki rem bing jehan jenny jane dai ingrid myles che ryan kris karlo
11. soro house sa elon-elon
12. gimmick sa pannickles, bridge, helipad
13. ghost stories
14. evening strolls
15. watching frat rumbles
16. hearing slogans (UPLB Tunay Palaban makabayan)
ano pa ba?

My First Entry
Finally, my first blog entry. I have been wanting to have my own blog for years but whenever I think of a blog name or what to write, my mind goes blank. But this time, I have something interesting to write because Today, September 8, 2007, is a very STRESSFUL day in my working life...
Next week is CEAP convention week. It is my biggest event since it signals the start of promotion season. We usually launch new campaign, new products and new services during this week. I am in charge of Events and Promotion and as my company is expanding (really expanding with the launching of two giant portals and multi-line products) the number of events I have been organizing have tripled compared to last year's activities. Imagine, in just three weeks, we had 1 press launch, 2 book launches, a major bookfair, a photoshoot, videoshoot, storytelling, etc. etc. On top of that, I was tasked to coordinate and process the souvenir program ( o di ba, hectic).
Sobra.....
With all these activities that I had to coordinate simultaneously, I knew that something will go wrong. And it happened to the souvenir program.
Buti na lang, my officemates were very helpful. They helped me solve my problem. Then I was able to breathe na, until I discovered another mistake. Hayy sobra talaga. Stressful. I hope that I would be able to find a "lusot" to this mess. If not, bahala na si Batman! (Paul, pahiram ng iyong famous line).
Anyway, it was a long day and i decided to go home and rest na lang muna. I need to have a clear mind before I attend to this problem. Buti na lang, I have a bf who is so understanding and supportive. He waited on me patiently, took me out to dinner, then coffee, then took me home.
Pagdating ko ng house, I took a shower, then I started blogging.
What I learned from this experience:
1. Need to be more assertive. Can't say YES to the boss all the time.
2. Sleep more. Mahirap mag-isip pag laging puyat.
3. I realized that I am overworked and underpaid.
4. I realized that this job is killing me.
