Filler #297

I recently discovered a cheap place to buy food. I've been buying from that place ever since. I don't know why I'm writing this down. Probably because I don't have anything interesting to write.

Let me think...

I'm still doing some testing on an application that is undergoing some enhancements. I have been testing for three weeks. I'll be done later. It has a lot of bugs! What can I say? Well, at least after this is done I can have my long weekend without any distractions. It's another long weekend. The third time this month. Wish I had planned to go somewhere. I really wish I did.

I am also part of the christmas party committee. I like to be involved in this kind of stuff. It's fun to meet people and it's fun to be responsible of something fun. lol!

I better get back to work if I want this to be done tonight.

Sayonarra!

One year

Today marks the first anniversary of my career life. On this day, exactly one year ago, was the first day of my work. Looking back, I can see that so much has changed, but it doesn't bother me at all.

Change was good.

Change is good -- sometimes.

It's Wednesday. Midweek. This should be a good day. I should be feeling great. Instead, I feel very low. I feel like crap. Probably because I woke up late this morning. Probably because the traffic was terrible this morning. Probably because I have so much work to do. Probably because F is mad at me for not liking the coin purse that she bought me. Probably because I was wrong to think that KFC's salad is good and ordered it for lunch only to find out that it sucks. Probably because it's cold in the office and my jacket is out for dry cleaning. Probably because I'm running low on cash sooner than I expected. Probably because I like my old location better than my new one. Probably because it is a rainy day and I hate rainy days. Especially if I have to leave the house. Yup, I think that's it. I hate rainy days. Dunno why. Probably something from my childhood. I think I'm going to be sick.

On a lighter note, I plan on updating my personal webpage, http://www.geocities.com/alphavictor. I also plan on getting contact lenses. I wonder where I could avail of Acuvue's free trial promo.

matar pulao on all saint's day

Yesterday was All Saint's Day. It is the time when everybody goes to the cemetery and visit their dead relatives. Frankly, I don't really care much about that tradition. I'd rather stay home and do nothing. I have nothing against going to the cemetery. It's the crowd that bothers me. They make me feel uncomfortable. I don't really know why. I just do. And cemetery crowds can be huge!

So yesterday, to avoid the stress that comes with the traditon, I talked to F. We talked and talked until we had nothing to talk about. After that, I resorted to eating. I ate and ate until I'm full. I like pancit malabon! My efforts to divert attention proved successful. The day went by with little turbulence.

Before the end of the day, we visited a relative who just came from Canada. She's my cousin but she's more like my aunt because of her age. She served us a Pakistani dish called Matar Pulao which simply means Rice with Peas. It was served with tuna and it was delicious! Just thinking about it makes me hungry.

Another thing that happened yesterday: a friend contacted me after a long time of being AWOL. I believe he had been very busy with his girlfriend. He invited me to drink on Saturday. I said okay but I'm really not sure if I could. Saturday is my younger brother's birthday.
