earthquake in manila

epekto — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:00:06 +0000

was in panic-mode a while ago. had 4 magnitude EQ all over the metro at around 2pm today. i was on OC when i got msgs from pasay, makati and gateway asking me “did u feel that?” i said “feel what?” then i heard the slight shaking of the blinds against sa glass window. everybody in the floor stood up from their cubes (wrong people – you should hide under the desk geesh). good think it only lasted a few sec. it stopped while i was midway from sitting to standing up on my way to making usi to what the rest of the peeps were doin. so nyways i immediately took it on mail and sent spams across our unit giving tips and reminded the folks on what we learned on our evacuation training. got bombarded with response that ranges from “panic ka gurl?” to “our fire exit is locked” to “call the house and check on kb!”.
good thing there were no aftershocks and according to the news that quake has no potential to cause tsunami’s thank God.

i better prepare some sort of an emergency plan for the home, a bag for kb we can grab in an instant and yes kb grab kb away from it must not forget him. and money.. and the dogs, yes the dogs must be saved also. im on the of paranoia guess im just scared of all these natural disasters happening all over.

dear God is the world going to end in my lifetime?

rubber band is that you?

you think you’ve had enough on your mind to make you realize that insanity is a possibility. then comes along another set of trials that stretches out your sanity to a whole new level. guess there’s more to come. hope i’ll be elastic enough to keep my mind.

pressure sa work
anxious mawalan ng work
kelangan mgaral sa exam
takot bumagsak sa exam
takot mg enrol sa exam
pressure mgabroad
fear of what the future may hold

im scared
im anxious
im human
i feel alone though im not
why cant life be simple

i just want a simple life
but im pressured to have a great life
i dont want a great life
because i dont want the pressure
its a never ending cycle..

since i don’t regularly update this because i often find myself unable to write jolly and interesting stuff about myself. i might as well post blah rants that are forever present in my life.

i be lying on the couch staring at the ceiling while you be my dr.phil listening with keen interest as i dwell on self-pity, pessimism and wallow in my non-stop procrastination.

so the ff will be on my curiosity na wla sa “lugar” moments

i went to church yesterday. i caught myself looking at people and making inside-my-head-remarks of everybody on the church except the priest. it’s a raging battle within me, to listen or not to listen to the priest. i always have to will myself to listen to the priest and internalize whatever it is he’s talking or to just bow my head and say my prayers silently until the preach is over. if im not doing any of these two then im people-watching. i cant help it. im sure everybody does it. i always feel guilty (if it makes Him feel any better about it). and so i had my eyes on this little kid about a year old. saw that he was with his mom and his lola and maybe his aunt. and i wonder how he’s mom takes care of him. if he has a yaya or if his lola looks after him while his mom works. i also wonder what kind of job the mother has or if she’s a housewife. does it give her time to spend with her kid. is she married to the kids dad. do they live together. i want to know these things.. why? because i want to know how other people live their lives. because maybe from them i can make mine a little better. or maybe from learning about their life i can feel a little better about mine

yeah we all problems but why do i feel like im alone with my own?

another depressing post

i thought an internet connection would make me happy. guess not.. i still feel dreadfull whenever im cooped up at home. i hate weekends because i got to stay at home and do nothing but start hating the people around me. i know hate is such a strong word so maybe it could just be annoyance. i cant stand everybody. hormones again? who knows. but thats how i feel whenever i stay at home for longer than a day. thats why i look forward to going back to work and being out of the house.

as i was saying i thought an internet connection at home would make me feel all better.. boy im wrong. im still miserable. i just wana spend this long break in dumaguete. i missed dumaguete. there i can be a happy bum. in there im completely satisfied not going out of the house and just pig out in front of the tele.

here in manila its the opposite. i cant stand staying at the house. i think its making me a bitter person towards my “housemates” but i cant help it. i live by my emotions. they dictate how i interact with others. they rule my damn life.

geeessssh.. i sound so pathetic right now.

maybe painting my nails would make me feel better

eww

eeeeeeck! that’s what happens when you doze off with a wet nail polish.

internet at home

haay finally we have internet connection at home.. after waiting for like weeks the pldt people were able to finally make the dsl up and running. so right after the tech guys left, we rushed to the nearest mall and brought what? a wireless router! hehehe. we just brought netgear coz its cheaper, looks cute and easy to configure.

we were setting up the whole thing when we heard 2 loud bangs and the power shutting off. A transformer/s (not the robots ha) in our area just went off. so being the usisira/usisero that we naturally are. we immediately went outside to hear from our usisira/usisero neighbors. so there, no electricity = nothing to do.

we had a lot of plans that night. dvd marathon, internet galore etc.. all involves having the power running.. we ended up lounging in the sala with a handy pamaypay blabbing senseslessly about nothing.

hello world
