Nakisingit lang naman ako sa shoot na toh. I don't deserve to be part of the photo dapat because I spent the whole day doing paperwork and was not part of today's store duties.

I thought about it and felt that this scene needed to be immortalized in my blog.

I had a bit of a mall tour today. I had to be in ATC to calibrate their mac's monitor then attend their staff meeting at 3pm. I needed to be out by 4pm since I had to pass through BF and pick up Ara's cake at Sara's house then zip to Rockwell for their staff meeting and for Ara's bday surprise.

Day began with a 9am meeting at the boss's place in ortigas. All the managers where there. It didn't take too long since he had somewhere else to go. Bea was to go with him which meant she will not be joining us the rest of the day. The rest of the managers rode with me to Rockwell to pick up some things I needed to bring to MOA then Ara, Niki, Sara, Aerika and I drove to MOA through intense traffic. My car couldn't battle with the heat so we slowly baked in the car. We got there and I quickly did all my tasks since we all had plans to go shopping! Sara had to stay in the store for paperwork and the rest of us set off hunting for new clothes. It was a fun fun day walking the stretch of MOA. We all tried on clothes, swapping them across the dressing cubicles, trying each other's outfit. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun shopping! Ara was tireless she kept wanting to walk to store after store. We spent most of our time in SM Department store (such a haven!). Aerika bought a LOT! We even bought the exact same dress in Bayo but agreed to text each other before going to work wearing it. I'm a bit disappointed that I was unable to find as much as I would have liked in SM. I left it with only eyeshadow and two belts at hand. I tried on a lot but none of them fit me well. But I do have my heart set on a pair of leopard print flats that they did not have in my size. I am hoping to find a pair in Southmall. They're only P240!!!

More photos from Ara's Cam!

Dinner was at Pier One and thanks to Ara, we had a discount! We were so hungry after all that walking we wiped out all that food within minutes.

Mga girls, ang gaganda naten pero karpintero tayo kumain.

Ni isang butil ng ulam, walang natira.

In other news, Luciano Pavarotti has just passed away and Apple has launched iPod Touch. I'm not so impressed by it, 8gb and 16gb models only? Geez...I can't put anything in there! I'm already so bitin with my 30gb model. And the whole idea of it having a touch screen interface has always meant more screen scratches for me.

This is NOT a great way to start my week. So my car was acting cuckoo the other day so my mom lent me the other car for work yesterday. I couldn't borrow it today since it was coding and I had to be in MOA early since I was on opening shift with Niki. I thought my car was just throwing a stupid tantrum so I took it out. The battery signal was on and based on experience that usually meant that my car batt is dead. But it wasn't, I was driving it and it was running. I get to the end of Alabang-Zapote Rd about to turn to coastal when, simultaneously, my aircon and car horn went dead. My brain went into mad panic. I called Niki telling her I will not be making my shift on time. I pull the car over, thinking of some sort of plan of action. I needed to have it fixed or I may never be able to leave MOA later tonight. I had P300 in my wallet so going to any talyer along zapote was out of the question since I had nothing to pay. Turning around was also not an option as the traffic up to that point already cost me a good one hour. I had no choice but to move forward, pass the stretch of coastal road, turn towards the airport and head back south to Sucat where my dad's friend's talyer was. At least I could put the repairs on credit. Two and half hours under the hundred degree weather later, my makeup has melted, I smelled like car fumes and grease, and FIVE THOUSAND PESOS POORER. I was not in any mood to head to work now. I called Niki telling her I can no longer make it and decided to get my car washed since I was already out and was spending so much on the damn car. I drove home after picking up toiletries in watsons (I intended to wash the bad karma off me with mentholated cooling shampoo, mmmmm). I ate, showered, sent emails and am now on my way out to ATC to do what I intended to do in MOA. I gave my mom my only savings, the very last $100 bill I have been holding on to since I arrived from San Francisco, to pay for the car repairs. I am now, seriously, and unquestionably broke. The money I thought I was saving to finally score myself the one and only expensively luxurious item I will ever buy, a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators, has now gone down the shithole.

I am in silent hell. I wish I can blame all my frustrations on someone. Just so I can have someone to murder. No, wait, not murder. I will find that person, have him sodomized by a giant animal so hard that the brutal force of it will cause him to continuously shit through his mouth.

'nuff said.
