Of Intimate Thoughts and Fledging Sanity

I finally had my breakfast, wifi and hot water yesterday. seems like luck finally gave me some pity(yes pity, if luck smiled at me then i would be out of this country today, but that’s another story). Although i am still missing a ref in my room, the guy in room service said that i can use the ref in the dinning area (although im not sure i want to use it, but if i dont have much of a choioce then ok..ill just find a way to secure my things in the ref).

but im still pondering on the option to move to the apartment where my colleagues are right now cause they have the same ammenities plus the ref.

today would be a slightly busy day for me. i would be discussing to our indian colleagues about the development standards of SSA with regards to EOC(CBS). that was one of the reasons why im here. and be ready to be asked about those things agan once they start using what they have learned. im not saying that i dont want to be ask, but by the way they work here, i would need a big-ass umbrela(ela..ela..ey ey ey) and a raincoat as the questions would definetely pour.(also a nice patience compensation package would be appreciated but i know better that ther’s no such thing). maybe i could use the lessons learned in the guthrie-guthrie "seminar" to help me…well what was that again? nevermind..ill just be the guy who when aggitated will scream "I DON’T F-ing KNOW OK?" or "GIVE ME A NICE BIG JUICY BEEF BURGER, WITH NO CHILLI OK?" or just give them the simpson’s APU version of "THANK YOU COME AGAIN".

Hi guys, im back. it has been a long time since I posted something here. I’m currently in Bangalore, India for work and currently im feeling a bit down at the momment.

"Why is that kyle?" you may ask.well, going from manila to bangkok(connecting flight to india) was ok. I checked in my luggage from manila and was told that my bag would be in autochecked in once i arrive in bangkok so i did no have to get the luggage again and checked it in again. That was good, i dont have to drag the 22kilo bag around the airport in bangkok. so in my mind i was hoping that the flight will be smooth and i should be in my room before 11pm if all goes well. but things changed from good to worse when upon getting my luggage in india i was shocked to see that my bag was mauled, the main zipper broke loose sending the contents spewing out of the conveyor belt. wow, first day in a new country and already im having a bad impression of things. my bag which i tediously prepared was destroyed in front of my eyes and i cant do anything about it but just to give a complaint to THAI AIRWAYS. I told the guy i was speaking that you destroyed the bag so you should give me a new one. but for him the bag was just "DAMAGED" and they would just "FIX" it. by that time the blood rushing through the veins of my head was so strong that i dont even had the energy to say something insulting back just a high piched "WHAT THE HECK?!?". then i told him that this is my first time to this country and already im having the impression that… (by this time no words were comming out from my mouth) then a Hindi guy(lets call him good guy Hindu) approach me and the THAI AIRWAYS guy and told me that it has happened to him to and he was sorry for what had happened. then in their native tongue he spoke to tha THAI AIRWAYS guy(he was also a Hindu) i think he explained my side to THAI AIRWAYS guy cause i distinctly recalled the good guy hindu saying the word "IMPRESSION" in a scolding manner to the THAI AIRWAYS guy. by that time i started to calm down albeit there were tears forming in my eyes(i think something was in my eye there) and started to give the complaint and work a system on how my bag can be "REPAIRED".

"How did you get out of the airport?" you might ask. Well they put my bag in a large plastic bag and put tape around to secure it. then i just took it our of the airport where a driver was waiting for me.

"So after that it was just smooth sailing again right?" you may ask. well not exactly. the driver was indian, and based from my past experiences in pakistan, the drivers in this part of the world gets scarry. the jeepney drivers of the philippines are saints when compared to how drivers drive in pakistan, here in india it was no exception.they are the same reckless drivers as in pakistan, but with my driver yesterday..he was far worse than anyone before. He cut lanes, speed up at a curve, speed up in an intersection. tailgated cars while doing 60-70. at one point he almost hit the back of the car infront of hime, good thing his breaks were working and turned the car sharply to the right. after all that we arrived at my place for the duration of my stay here.

The long wait is over. Finally a new album by Maroon 5. I just dl the album this morning and WOW, it was worth the wait..well, 4-5 songs at least. Maybe I still need to play it a few more times to really appreciate their new kind of funk. for now the 3 songs that i really like from the album are Makes me wonder, Little of your time and Kiwi. Kudos to the band for a job well done. The album takes me back to the songs of the late 70’s and early 80’s. i love the electronica and jazz parts of their songs. They even manage to include a dance-able song in Little of your time. Maroon 5 wont be complete with their rock-ballads, hell, we might even get another ’she will be loved-esque’ in one of the songs (i hope the radio stations would not overplay it)

Alam nyo ba ang larong Magic the Gathering? Sikat na card game ito, nauso ito noong grade6/1st year hs ako. doon sa mga ngayon lang nakarinig nito, isa itong card game na ang gamit ay mga magical creatures, spells, enchantments at artifacts para mag laban laban. Ang objective ay pababain ang buhay ng isang manlalaro(planeswalker) sa 0 gamit ang mga naturang baraha. Habang ako ay nasa ois at nagiisip ng solusyon sa problema,  naisip ko lang na pwede palang gawing expansion ang buhay opis ko sa larong ito.

Muntik na naman akong mahuli ng mga MMDA boys, ngayon naman sa may  edsa flyover sa papuntang pasay/alabang/manila. Nahuli ako dahil swerving daw ako. tinatahak ko ang kahabaan ng edsa papuntang alabang, ng malapit na ako sa flyover papuntang alabang, may bus ba namang nakaharang sa daraanan ko. ung bus na ito, malapit na malapit na sa flyover. kung alam nyo ung flyover na papuntang pasay/alabang, hindi ba madaming bus sa may right side nun, kc may matalinong mmda na nag lagay ng sakayan ng bus doon. sa pagkakaalam ko mga bus na pang alabang lang ung nan dun.pero itong bus na ito sa harapan ko eh papuntang pasay, so syempre kelangan nya iliko ung  bus pa kaliwa para maka punta ito sa flyover pag katapos nyang magpick up ng pasahero.sa posisyon nya, medyo na harangan nya ung lane namin na papuntang alabang. syempre bilang driver, kelangan mo iwasan ung bus. nakatutuok na ako sa bus nun, so pag kaliwa ko para mag overtake..heto na si mr MMDA na pinapatabi na ako..huli. pag tabi ko..un na, swerving daw. ako naman ayaw ko pumayag na may violation ako, pero habang nag papaliwanag ako, binagay ko na lang ung lisensya ko at rehistro para wala ng iba pang isampa sa akin. tinanong pa ako kung saan ako papunta, sinabi ko pauwi na.tinanong n din ako kung saan ako galing, sabi ko sa ayala sa office. tapos sabay bigay ng id ko sa opis.tapos nung sinasabihan na ako na titiketan na..nag paliwanang ako.sinabi ko na ang swerving kung nakita mo ako sa bandang left, bigla akong kumanan para makaakyat sa flyover at the last moment. eh sabi ko ‘nakita mo naman akong nasa likuran ng nakaharang na bus diba..iniiwasan ko lang ung bus’. sinabihan ako bigla na dapat sinundan nyo na lang ung mga sign board sa kalsada.so sinagot ko naman siya ng ’ser, kung susundan ko ung signboard, kahit nasa ilalim na ako ng alabang sign, sa pasay naman ang tuloy ko kc hindi naman sakto ung sign board nyo sa kalsada’. sabay sinabi ko na ‘kung hindi ba naman nakaharang yang bus eh bat ko naman iiwasan diba? nakita nyo ba ako na nasa left most lane tapos biglang kumabig sa kanan? nasalikod ako ng bus diba? so bakit nyo ako sasabihan ng swerving?’ sa puntong iyon, sinabi na lang sa akin na sige hindi na kita titiketan. Mabuti at nag basa ako ng traffice rules at violations nung friday last week. kung alam nyo na wala kayong ginagawang traffic violation, ipaglaban nyo. kc minsan, nag aabang lang naman yang mga iyan ng driver na hindi papalag. kung natiketan man nila ako, ipaglalaban ko naman iyon sa mmda eh..pipicturan ko pa ung nanghuhuli at ung bus na nasalikuran ko ng mga oras na naitabi ko na ung sasakyan ko.

Hey everybody! Merry Christmas! Hope this season fills us all with Chirst’s Love.

Hindi na naman ako makatulog. nasanay na akong ganito. masama nito papasok pa ako tom. hmm…magising kaya ako maaga. currently watching southpark para pampaantok. ang topic nila ngayon about catholic priest and child molestation. alam ko wierd pero ganun talaga ang southpark. lahat ng current events ginagawan ng satirical cartoons.kung gurang kayo at uptight..hidni nyo magugustuhan yung cartoons. pero kung ok lang sa inyo ang ganun..na for fun lang lahat..you’ll like it. Vulgar and profane talaga ang show. makulit talaga..hehehe nawili ako sobra sa show nung highschool pa ako. pinapalabas lang ito sa WOWOW na channel. minsan japanese sub pa pag minamalas. recently na discover ko cya sa jack tv and sa youtube..so i got my fill again on the past eps nahindi ko napanuod. dunno kung wierd lang sense of humor ko pero patok sa akin ung show hehehe..baka kelangan updated ka din sa current events para ma appreciate ung show. current events regarding america and ung global events na talagang pinaguusapan. saatin kc sa mga sit-coms mo lang mapapanuod ung ganun, pero toned down version kc baka masuspend sila ng mtrcb pag nagkataon.

ngayon nasa kwento mode ako..kwento ko na din nangyari kanina sa akin pauwi. ung sinasakyan kong fx kanina nakaaway ko ung driver. panu ba naman, nung nasa bandang alabang flyover na kme naisipan ba namang gumamit ng cellfone.buti sana kung naka headfone cya or wireless eh..kaso gamit nya ung handset nya.so ung kanang kamay nya nasa fone ung kaliwa lang ung nasa manibela..eh diba paakyat un, then malubak..then paliko so kelangan mong hawaka ung manibela talaga para hindi matagtag. grabe na ung tagtag ng sasakyan tapos ang bilis pa nya mag patakbo. so ako as a concerned and educated passenger/driver pinagsabihan ko na itabi na lang muna nya kung makikipagusap cya.. sinabi ba naman sa akin na ‘nakikita ko naman ung kalsada’. WTF was that answer? anung relevance kung nakikita mo ung kalsada?bakit pag nakikipagusap ka ba nakapikit?nak ng tinapa..so sinagot ko cya ng ‘hindi naman dahil nakikita mo ung kalsada pwede ka ng makipagusap sa fone.bawal yang ginagawa mo eh.concerned lang naman ako baka madisgrasya tayo’ tapos sumabat ung matandang katabi kona pinagsisiksikan ung katawan nya sa upuan kahit alam nya na apat kmeng nakaupo sa gitna. ‘delikado yang ginagawa mo’ pusang malaki..alam mo pala bakit nung sinabi ko tsaka ka nag react. pinoy nga naman.. laging I second the motion.buti naman at sumunod sya..although alam ko na nasaktan ko ung pride nya bilang driver..kung hindi pa cya tumigil sa fone nya..dami ko pang sasabihin eh. ’san ka ba nagaral magdrive?’, ‘bakit ka nabigyan ng lisencya, nanuhol ka ba sa LTO?’, or ibababa ko ung wind shield tapos tamang tama may lto sa highway, sisigay ako ng ‘manong colorum!!!’..hehehe. sarap pagsabihan ng mga driver na ito lalo na pag hindi sumusunod. ung alam na nilang mali sila tapos gagawa pa ng excuse para hindi sabihing mali ginagawa nila..typical pinoy nga naman hehehe..

cge..next tym ulit..pag naalala ko mas lalo akong hindi aantukin nito.

its been a while since i last blogged.i have too many ideas but can’t seem to put it in a sentence. it’s just now that im having the chance to put those ideas to words. why?cause work was suspended today cause of a storm.

im at home, alone with my dog. been catching up with some series that i failed to see cause of reasons beyond my control(one of which is work) im watching grey’s anatomy, a show i thought of as another sex series, but turns out being a good show. i like o’malley’s character. the underdog newbie. tis great that i could relate to his part in the grey’s story. im also watching scrubs, another doctor series but tends to go on the lighter side. the jokes the show pulls really tickles my funny bone, enough to make me laugh at every episode. im watching it on DVD thanks to miss Ellen :D. im downloading season 3 of grey’s anatomy right now eventough i’m not yet done with season 2.

I still have to finish a computer game that i’ve been playing since february. yup that’s how hectic my sched is.i can’t finish a rpg with that amount of time. i’ve onlie logged in i thing 63 hrs of gameplay for 7 months. i need to finish it cause another game will come up in oct 10. the game by the way is tales of legendia. im a big fan of the tales series by Namco, and by oct 10 tales of the abyss will comeout so my hands are full with regards to computer games.(i also need to play final fanrtasyX and grandia 3, two games i also enjoy as a series)

i recently have a crush on someone.it sounds childish but i’m having the feeling last i felt when i was in highschool. and true to childish fashion im not telling who she is (SECREEEET!!!). i’m also missing someone right know.i want to see that person soon.

hmm..i think im gonna spend this rainy day sleeping. i havnt got enough sleep since last week. and i think its affecting the way i think.

May bagon akong kinalolokohang anime ngayon..ang Yakitate JAPAN!!
medyo kakaiba ang kwento. parang cooking master boy at mr. ajiko pero bread making lang ang premise ng story.
gusto ng protagonist na gumawa ng tinapay na magiging simbolo ng bansang JAPAN tulad ng French bread ng France at Bagel ng America. walang bread na simbolo ng JAPAN so gumagawa cya ng BREAD na ang PANGALAN eh JAPAN para sa goal nya. ang mga creations nyang JAPAN #1-60+ eh ginawa nya sa loob ng 9 years nyang paggawa ng tinapay, ng hindi nagaaral kahit anung libro tungkol sa tinapay. tiral and error lang kumbaga cya, so ung iba nyang JAPAN ang hindi nya alam eh merong counter part na bread na sa ibang bansa.

Isa sa gus2 kong JAPAN nya eh ang JAPAN #44 kung saan isang tikim mo lang eh pupunta ka na sa langit ng panandalian.
nakakatawa cya sa anime kc sa reaction ng mga judges.

try nyo panuorin, matutuwa talaga kayo. well depende pala iyon kung gaano kabababaw kaligayahan nyo tulad ko hehehe

im missing you, for all the right reasons. i want to be with you, and im trying too.
