Bus Ride to Heaven

Thank you Five Star bus for that life-threatening ala-roller coaster bus ride experience earlier. I couldn't get over it for a while. It was more exciting than the Space Shuttle they have in Enchanted Kingdom. The thrill that I might die anytime from when in case the bus slides somewhere in the wet road due to the bad weather was epic. It was more fun than the jeepney ride I had with Carla, Jay and Laine when we had a planned trip and went to Antipolo, just for the heck of going there, not long ago. And I thought riding a Cubao bus or sometimes a wild cab was crazy enough, hell no it wasn't even close enough. And guess what's the best part in it? It was the over taking in that long bridge while speeding in the rain. I was sitting in front too, beside the bus driver and with no seat belt at that. Ha!

I'm blogging this now because, you know, I might suddenly realize tomorrow morning that I'm already dead. And that in reality, I'm actually a wondering ghost. So that all you guys would know what exactly happened to me, and probably feel sorry for the pathetic result my life ended with in the hands of a half-sleepy driver living with only a Cobra Energy Drink to keep him awake all night.

Have a good night.

PS: I SAW that image of a man posing macho with only his brief, in the conductor's wallpaper.

Pepsi: Pinas!

Last Friday, my house-mate Carla, shared me this video of Pepsi: Pinas commercial. It was really funny. They imitated action scenes from the old school Philippine movies. The protagonist chases the antagonist down, while the antagonist hostages someone/holds something in his possession (in this case, it's the Pepsi: Pinas). They exchange gun shots and shouts to each other. They even use popular lines from the old movies like "Tapos na ang mga maliligayang araw mo!" and "Pati butas ng karayom papasukin ko!" Even their physical aspects and getups are similar – the long haired cop in jeans, wearing denim jacket with white bandanna on the head; and the criminal with mustache and usually wearing mafia type clothing. And of course, that classic evil laugh is exactly the same!

After watching, I went fangirling and added Alvarez Parak (protagonist) and Boy Balbon (antagonist) in facebook and continued on fangirling and spreading the video all over.

Then, the other day, Carla brought home a bottle of Pepsi: Pinas. It tasted just like the my old favorite cola, Pepsi Blue, that disappeared when I was in mid college. She put it in the fridge while we all watched TV. We were supposed to take a picture of it, and post in in her blog. But then, Drake, the 2 1/2 year old toddler at home, was screaming like crazy wanting that bottle of Pepsi: Pinas. When he got a hold of it, he was like jumping around the place dancing while drinking it. So cute! x3

Relationships

Someone told me that I'm "just afraid of (romantic) relationships."

Well, I’m not sure about that. Rather than being afraid, I think it’s more like a bother. I find relationships too troublesome and annoying that's why I prefer being single.

Oh and contrary to most people, it's not about the ex or a bad experience with the previous relationship. Yah, it didn't work out. I didn't find my ex such a douche to warrant him a good bad mouthing from me either. It's more of a his and her circumstances, so I don't really know what was going on with his mind. I might've hurt him, but I didn't know. And I got hurt too, but he wasn't aware. In my opinion though, it's just a difference between our beliefs and such and that I was being clingy and needing more attention that I was getting. And it just ended like that.

I don't know if it's just me, but this is how I really think. Whether people believe it or not, I don't particularly need to care, do I? Or should I?

My relationship status and whatnot. Why does it matter to people, anyway?

Date with StalkerBugs and the Blog and Soul

I had a post birthday celebration today with the StalkerBugs group. We ate at Shakey's at Glorietta 3.

After that, we went to the Blog and Soul Forum which was held at Meralco Case Room inside the Asian Institute of Management in Paseo de Roxas.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what Blog and Soul Forum really is, when I got there. Achie Rochelle invited us to go and I was a bit curious of what I might find, when I go there.

So, inside the Blog and Soul forum, they discussed about the blogger's experiences, past issues, how they started and eventually gained popularity and/or credibility online, through blogging and other social media. This one's the first of it's series. They'll have different topics and forums will be held every 2 weeks, as I heard. Hey, though I seem like I do a lot of things and is totally not listening at all (from the background), I actually do listen. I'm just the type who's weak at conferences, meetings and such and that I easily get bored (hopefully, not sleepy that time, even when it's after lunch and we really ate a lot). XD

This forum, I think is a great idea, but I'm afraid, is not exactly something that I would find interest in. As you know, I've been blogging since like the ancient times, and I've been this way ever since. I don't think I've gained popularity over blogging nor I'm particularly interested in it either. And I care less of what the public may think of me or what I write, I just blog things I want to blog. I simply just want to blog for self-expression or whatever.

But this is only me, there'll probably be tons of people out there who would find this interesting so I'll share it, just in case.

Oh, btw! I finally met Ade in person, after like what? 5 years? Ahahaha!

And I've met/saw a lot of other bloggers I know too, like Adam and Benj.

DME

Last Friday was my last day at DME. For years, I've been keeping it a secret where I exactly work. Though I've been saying that I'm working for a gaming company, I seldom name it. Just so that I do not get customer support related issues from people.

I took a few shots just when I was about to leave, and took pictures with friends I often hang out with. I did not feel like crying, but I was sad.

Working in DME was the best and funnest experience I had so far. The people are fun, the work itself is fun (despite the super toxic jobs at times) and at the same time, you learn a lot.

I'll miss these people and a bunch of them that I failed to take pictures (Berwin's fault, for giving me a lot of work that I totally forgot to take pictures when they're still around the office)...
