The Blog-blag-blag
Blogs are hot these days. And I mean hot.
So I decided to join the bandwagon and update mine. You'll never know when your blog would be put into the the spotlight so might as well make it worth everybody's while.
Anyway, this pathetic excuse for a blog has not been updated for the longest time, like 3 months. I dunno, probably, my current work has zapped me off of my creative juices. Or, just like I always do, I use my work as an excuse not to do anything else. Example:
1. Going to the gym - I have recently signed up to our neighbourhood gym for the nth time this year. Being the sloth me, I have always used work as an excuse to go to the gym. Reasoning that I am tired, and that I still have work at night - and all other crapola that I can use just to excuse myself for a day in the gym.
2. My social life - well yeah, I do have some, but mostly revolving around people from work. Going would mean hanging around with officemates / friends and grab breakfast / lunch / dinner / coffee before or after work. Since I am not really from here, I made my work my lame excuse not meet people out of the office circle.
3. Flying home to Manila - I am such a liar. I would always tell my mom that my Vacation Leave was not approved when she would ask me to visit them. She probably thinks that the company I am working with is a big-heartless corporate monster that doesn't allow people to have quality time with their families.
4. My faith - I wouldn't wanna say that I lost my faith / religion because I worked with this company because even before that, I have had a love-hate relationship with the Gods. But, since most of my time is spent in the office, I don't have time to enrich my so-called spiritual being. Lame.
5. My often unreasonble expenses - I am a firm believer of this time-tested adage, "Work hard and play harder," or something to that effect. Believing that I deserve to spend and pamper myself with just about anything that I can afford, my monthly expenses would always over-shoot my calculations. I have never been good in Math eversince, in fact I deferred my Accounting class on it's 2nd week, so I am not totally surprise that I always end up filling for bankruptcy (?) days before the pay day.
6. Smoking - When I was still a girlette, I told my dad that I would never in my life, smoke. Ha! What a joke. I started smoking when I was in college and I am slowly killing myself up to this day. It felt so cool to smoke during my college days because it was banned from the campus, so we had to hide at the back of the MassComm cafeteria when we wanted to smoke. We were like the "in" crowd because we get to hang-out with the professors and the deans of our university. But I quit after some time. I picked the habit again when I started working because I felt that smoking keeps me awake and alert (crap!) and that it's a way to de-stress (bull!).
7. Dieting - There was only one time in my life that a diet worked for me. I was still in college during that time when I started with the "1 cup of rice a day" diet. I lost so much weight that my mom, with her infinite wisdom wanted me to take a drug test. I stopped dieting after that. So when people tell me that I am gaining more weight (I hope they die!), I would always say these crapolas:
a. "It's because of the night shift."
b. "I am always stressed at work so I tend to eat more."
c. "There's no healthy option in our pantry."
8. Not returning people's text messages - I got an irked message from one of my friends in Manila about how I always fail to reply to their text messages. I actually have reasons for this, one lame and one valid reason. The valid reason is that, I don't like replying to text messages. It's ok when it's just going to be short conversation (hence the name Short Message Sending or something like that), but I cannot have a full blown chit-chat using text. I am either too lazy to do it or my thumbs are so big they don't fit the teeny-weeny keyboards of my cellfone. My seconds reason for not answering their text is that I'm at work last night. Yeah, I would read the messages before hitting the sheets but that's it. I think phones are made to call, not read. So if you have important messages for me, CALL.
Actually, there are still a lot of things that I use work as an excuse like my weird eating and sleeping habits, but I really don't have time to expound because I need to work.
