The Story of my Life

Spent the long weekend in Bora. It was a blast...as always! =) A lot of things happened. I can't tell you though...Cause happened in Bora, stays in Bora. Hahahaha..what a teaser! Let's just say, our two new Bora buddies hooked up with Anemals...este "Alemans". hehehehe...Others, where just there rekindling the memories of our very first Bora escapade.

I had fun too. Enjoyed the sun. Made love with the camera. =) Enjoyed Jonah's shake. Gave in to Illusion shaker. Danced to my heart's desire...I feel like I'm a different person when I'm in Bora. I lose all my inhibitions and sanity. hehehe Carefree...wild...naughty...daring...hahahaha...I love bora!

Anyway, Bora brought back memories of the person I met there. And as I told Lou and Anna, I sort of missed him. The pick-up line, the "water", the small talks, and the panghahalay at pag-aalaga, and the post-bora messages. Fun memories. I'd be a hypocrite not to admit that Bora wouldn't be as much fun had I not bumped into this guy. It was a trip to remember indeed...Although, I violated the bora golden rule: "whatever happens in bora, stays in bora"...and brought it to Manila. The rest is history.

Now, that would just be a part of the entire Bora experience. A lot of things happened this year. For me, it was a trip to memory lane and once again...a trip to insanity. heheheh

I'll post photos later.

I'm moving forward. Today is my last day in OER, where I spent my first two years in ADB. From External Relations, I'm moving to Legal Operations. Hhhhmmm...two different field of work. Well, its okay. At least now, I got a regular post.

I'm both happy and sad. Happy that finally I got a regular jog in ADB. I'm sure mom's proud of me now. Mom, is this enough to compensate for being naughty in the past? hehehe....Sad becuase I'm leaving OER. The people I worked with here are amazing. Relationship is founded on respect, understanding, cooperation, and love. We're such a small department, compared to the others in the bank. But I can say that being small allows you to mingle more with people. I love the people here. I've never worked for anybody who has this kind of harmonious relationship. I'm surely gonna miss the people.

As I was packing my things, I dawned on me that this is indeed real. And I suddenly felt nervous. I'm nervous cause I don't know what's instore for me. I don't know who I'm gonna be with and what its like up there.

Nervous because, I really find it difficult adjusting. I'm the type of person who hates changing environment. When I get used to something, I find it hard to change it or leave it or move on to another place. That's why, I hangout only in places I feel most comfortable staying. I'm not the type who would go to different places. If I do that, it usually takes a lot of time and a lot of convincing. hehehe Other times, I do it because I've no choice. Notice that I use the same bag and shoes most of the time...when I change it, its because I'd look like an idiot if I don't. hahaha Notice also, that I shop only in places near to me...Drink in Sidebar or in Timog (places near to me, as well)...Hangout with the same friends...Eat in the same restaurant, and order the same food every time. =)

I hate changing...aaamm...hate is such a strong word. Sige...I just don't like changing. I sort of built a comfort zone around me. It gives me the feeling that when I'm within my comfort zone there's no risk of whatever. I'll surely love the food I order... I'll find what I need to buy... I'll feel confident wearing this or that...Etc...Get my point? hehehehe...

Anyway, I think I need to do something about that. Because change is inevitable. And if I want to enjoy life, I have to explore the world. hahaha...Ciao!

Some songs I've been listening to lately:

::..Broken by You..::
First lonely night
what will I do
I feel my heart breaking in two
I'm such a fool
When will I learn
I fell so deep
Then I got burned

If you gave me just one reason why
My heart just might let go
Maybe one day I will fall In love again
But for now, I'll just leave my heart in two

If I never fall in love again
If I never touch your skin again
If I never feel again this way
If I never see another day
Remember me
Remember this
'Cause one thing that will never change
Is the feeling in my heart
so broken by you.

::..Both Sides Now..::
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and down, and still somehow
it's could illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud,
dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life this way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

::..How could you say you love me..::
How can you hurt me this way
Everthing I knew was loving you
How could you try pretending

How, how could you say you love me
When you will go and leave me
How could you make me hurt so bad
When I have loved you more than anyone can do
Can't believe the pain
That I'm feeling now because of loving you

::..Galileo..::
How long `til my soul gets it right?
Could any human being ever reach that kind of light?
I call on the resting soul of Galileo
King of night vision, king of insight

When shit happens...

I had everything planned last night. After work, I'd go straight to the gym, go home early and read my book (by the way, I'm reading the Alchemist again cause I feel I need to be inspired...I postponed reading Angels and Demons kasi wala lang...lost interest I guess). Anyway, as I was on my way, I couldn't find my car key. I walked to my car hoping that my key's not there, that I left it in my drawer or somewhere...But no!!!!!!! It was there...still stuck in the keyhole! The engine is off, but not the battery...and that was like 12 f***king hours!!!!!!!

Okay...okay...No need to panic Claire. We can get someone to help you open the door. You don't have to wait long. Okay, so I called for help from the bank car staff. But I was referred to Master Lock instead. They said they can fix it in an hour. Wow! Impressive...so how much do I have to pay? "550 ma'am"...huuuuwwwaaaatttthhh!?!?!?!?! No way! (hehehe...yeah kuripot ako!) Instead of spending 550, I decided to wait for my brother to bring the spare key(who at that time wasn't responding to my messages...nag-gym siguro). Because even if Master Lock gets to open the door, the battery would be dead anyway...it wouldn't make things better.

I was settled with the idea that I'll leave my car in the office and just wait for my brother to pick me up. While waiting for him, I stayed in the veranda with RJ and some officemates who were drinking. So I drank. Red wine? "Aaahhh, that's nothing." I thought. So I drank...and drank...and drank...My last glass? I drank it straight cause my brother texted me that he was just a few minutes away.

So...can you guess what happened when I got home? I threw up three times....three times...three freaking times!!!! For a moment there I thought I'd puke my brains out. Hehehehe...exaj! But, yeah, it was really awful. Ang sakit ng tyan ko kagabi at umiikot ang mundo ko!

So there goes the story of my shitty night...Lesson learned? Don't drink Franzia. hahahaha...Naahhh...Drink moderately. That's the lesson.

Ooh..and my car? Up and running.
