Your age by chocolate math

Geeez, I wonder how it did it... but it just did and it's freaking mad really!!! You can try it to see for your self....

DON'T CHEAT!!! (There's really no thrill in that!!!) It takes less than a minute ....Work this out as you read ...Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate(more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755 .... If youhaven't, add 1754.
6. Now, subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number .

The first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers areYOUR AGE!

Oh YES, it is!!!!! THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

--------------------- don't ask me how it did it! I have no clue!

common sense

yes, that's just what it is. I think it is the most precious gift one could every ask for. God, bless the people who don't have the gift of common sense. Please let their existence be more meaningful.

half-dreading tomorrow

tomorrow i will find out if my future can afford me. i am half dreading to find out the verdict. like in a very nice movie, i hate to come to a point when it is my turn to decide. i am never good in making decisions. maybe because i hate to fail. or maybe because i think too much about the "what ifs" that I fail to see the real essence of why I had to make that decision. But like anything else, I just have to make one. whether it's something that will make me happy now, or whether it's something that will make me happy for the long term, I really don't know. What I do know is that I am praying for this decision.

cough! cough!

what the hell is wrong with me? I've had this cough for 2 weeks now!!!! i think i need a maid. it's probably the dust that's killing me alive... but my house is soooooo damn clean. and my room is even cleaner. you know how OC i can get with just the slightest ball of hair that i see.

i feel a little better now. but not really good. i think one long weekend of rest and fun and shopping will cure this. hahahaha! i really wanna go to hongkong disneyland! freak, i'm turning 26 and i haven't seen mickey mouse yet! hahahahaha... so pathetic!

alcohol in excess

i had quite a night. went on a vodka marathon with my housemate and his girl number #2. i didn't have a lot, just 3 tall glassfuls of vodka7. halfway through my 3rd glass i could feel the alcohol kicking in. trust me, being tipsy is worse than getting drunk. in my half-sober state, i could feel the heat of the alcohol-loaded blood circulating, rushing through my head...got a little bout with my temper, over-reacted to some nasty online crap and felt very bitchy. yeah, i can be difficult sometimes. and yeah, i do have some issues.
i could barely recall what i did over the last 10 hours but here i am still very much wide awake. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY SYSTEM?!?!? I think my insomnia is back to haunt me for the long term. i gotta get myself a momo racing wheel. or maybe get myself a real car. wish it were that easy.

hanging on a single strand

One my biggest fears is dying in strangulation, drowning and. god, i feel so rotten right now i think i will die choking in my sleep. ive had this cough and colds and fever since god knows how long and it feels even worse by the day. my nose is like a huge tennis ball painted red and my nostrils like the whole strech of the leaky cauldron... i just wish i could die right now so it's all over...done...end...rip! do i sound morbid? well, if you could see me now you can say straight in my face "you look like shit" and I won't kill you for saying that. i would even hug you so my virus will spread until it chokes the living daylights out of you. But I won't do that. just don't call me shit.

Daaaaammmnnn......what is it about this day? I feel like a cry baby. it's times like this when i wish i weren't living by myself... i wish i have a family... i wish that there is someone out there who genuinely cares enough about me... someone who can understand what I'm going through right this very moment. i feel like im slipping into depression again. if you know how much i miss being home, having my mom to take care of me, i can kill myself right now if it takes dying to actually experience that again. its times like this when i wish someone is actually physically there for me.

what the hell am i complaining about? who gave me the right to? geeez, who ever said life is fair? it never is. And especially not when you're in the same crap i'm in.

yipeee! family time again

I just got the confirmation today straight from my bro that they're coming home for a visit come Saturday! Boy, I am soooooo excited! I can't wait to see them again after a long long time of not spending xmas and birthdays together. And this will be the first time i'd get to meet my amboy nephew who i heard is soooo sweet! damn... I'm feeling a wee bit nostalgic... i wish home was just a P15 trike ride away...

With that, I am seriously thinking about going home this weekend. What do you think? Maybe i'm better off going home next weekend... or maybe on the weekend before they fly back to manila then off to the US again.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhh! i just can't make up my mind...

let's see.. what's keeping me from going home: i need to come up with some slide. there's supposed to be some biggie thing happening roundabout the 24th that I just can't miss... and then of course, i miss my hunee terribly! right now, i just want a big teddy puppy hug... not stinky summer licking my feet off! hehehehehe

hay, when's the best sked to go home kaya? it's times like this that make me wish i bought that XDA IIs i've been eyeing on...hopefully, that will make me organized enough to be able to juggle too many things at the same time! do you think it's high time i got it??!? hehehehhe... i know i'm making excuses for myself to buy it... damn... if it weren't for my hard-earned money and my dwindling bank account, i would have had no second thoughts of getting it!!! hahahahaha.... not unless i win it off some seminar! AHAHAHA! i'm dreaming again... *slap* *slap* I THINK I NEED TO WAKE UP...i'm talking nonsense here.... or maybe i need to get some sleep!

i need a break... i think i might as well purchase my plane ticket! hehehhehe... maybe tomorrow i'll have a "saner" state of mind to make the calls... hehe! :-) aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggh i'm so stressed out!

qualms and a half

I don't know what's with me these past days but I've been so irritable with the slightest provocation. Started with my follow up for my DSL connection. It was horrible! You don't wanna know the crappy details but suffice it to say - sometimes you just gotta find your way up to the top guys to get something done, or moving at least!

One month later, here I am still struggling to get the FULL service that I paid for (or my company paid for!). Usual pinoy customer service: I had another bout of getting the runaround from these guys. Been following up on my free PC for days and days now... and I even went to their depot to pick it up. But sorry for me - they don't give a damn... I won't be surprised if one day, they would hang a signage in their office that says: "you are a customer, you wait. you're at the mercy when we give it to you." Losers!

Before the weekend, I also went to NBI for some clearance shit and to my utmost surprise - they were charging entrance fees!!! My initial reaction was, "Ano to, public movie house with discounted movie rates?" Well, it didn't say NBI on the pink slip, but it had some private business charging fees to allow people to get into a government office... Hello, is this supposed to be legal?!? Take note, this does not have anything to do with the P110.00 fee for the NBI clearance. This is entirely a separate form of money-making scheme that is totally uncalled for. It's just a minimal amount of P20.00 per person that is going into the building. But if my calculation is correct, they would have earned roundabout P50,000.00 per day from that. Considering that they have a back log, when I go back to pick up my clearance, I would have to pay another P20. That simply means, they would have doubled the chances of hitting another P50k entrance fee quota without any effort at all! So much for this anti-corruption campaigns... it's probably all in paper. What a shame... no wonder our country is rotting in the pitholes. If they can extort money like that from hapless citizens in broad daylight, it's no surprise that they can do more in large-scale underground transactions. Oh well, that's our government to you! I wonder why the media has not come out with any stories about this... hmmmm I smell something fishy! Do we have another version of the "untouchables"?

On a second thought, maybe it's not a government issue per se. I would say it's probably more than that because there are a lot of "opportunista" in our midst. I'm not saying it's part of our culture but it does fit well to describe the few people I have encountered in this lifetime.

So much for my qualms. Last monday, I was struggling to get up from bed. I was diagnosed for acute supparative tonsilitis. What the heck does that mean?!? Well, it's the kind of inflammation in your tonsils when it's close to bleeding and breaking out. Nah, just kidding. It's some kind of condition when your tonsils get so inflammed that there is pus/mucus coming out of it. EEeeewww! I know it's gross, and I hate having it more than anything else in the world. Thanks to my hunee, NFS and little kulit "summer", I didn't get too bored staying home for a while!
