you tube

One of the new things i've began to appreciate since the time i got back online is you tube. If I'm not careful, I might get addicted... that is, if I'm not hooked yet.

Watch this Neat Trick

Then watch this.
The guy looked familiar. Could he be a Filipino? Funny!

the life i left behind

looking at some pictures from the not so distant past, i kinda remembered what my life was before coming to Singapore. The life that I left behind. I use the word "kinda" because i don't remember it very vividly. It's like a dream that I woke up from. Something that I could never get back. Which kinda make me sad because that life was kinda good in a way...

Now I'm really sad.

Not considering my last deployment in my previous company, everything was picture perfect. I had a good relationship with family, my salary was above average (which was sadly not good enough for me), I have few good friends, and most importantly, my relationship with F was great. And I traded it all off for a job abroad -- my dream.

***

There's a longing sadness lingering in my heart. Helpless. I could not get back what I left behind. I could only look back and move on. My family will always be my family. F, if I can help it, will always be the love of my life, and my friends, I could only hope that distance and lack of communication will not stop us from remaining friends. That's asking for too much, but I guess there's so little that I can do... (or willing to do).

***

I realize that relationships can be preserved, and I did not leave them behind. I took them with me and kept them inside my heart.

***

I realize that the less excited I am about my new life, the more nostalgic I feel about my previous one.

***

I do not want to be sad, I do not want to forget either. The only way to achieve this is to relive it. F is the key. She's my anchor, without her, I will drift.

welcome to pulau ubin

pulau ubin with my friends. i took the photo. hehe.

Ha!

It feels good to be online again! That is mainly the reason why I'm still awake at quarter to 3 in the morning. Or maybe it's just the coffee that I drank. Well, anyway, just wanna make my presence felt. Online presence, that is.

Being online came at a price. A steep price. A price that I couldn't afford had I not come to Singapore to work. Well roughly around S$1300. Hehe.

I'll try to post some pics. In the meantime, wait. It's the only thing you can do besides doing something else. ???

Zzz...

batominton

batominton = japanese word for badminton

 

Yesterday, I played badminton with my mom, my sister and my little brother. Call it quality time with my family. My dad was not around because of two reasons, he had church service that afternoon and he's not really into that sport. Anyway, I'm blogging about this sport simply because I like it very much. Especially when you're using a 1,400-Peso Yonex racket. I borrowed from my sister. hehehe. Personally, I wouldn't spend that amount for a racket. At least not yet. hehehe.

huwat?!

I want to share something funny that happened this morning.

 

I'm working on this support ticket that I was not familiar with so I went to ask my TL. This is how the conversation went:

 

Me: TL, can you help me with one of my tickets?

TL: Ok, what's your problem?

Me: You see it's like this...

 

I went on to explain my problem. TL appears to listen. After about a minute of explaining every detail of my problem, this is what the TL responded.

 

TL: Ganito and gawin mo...

 

I listened closely on what she was about to say.

 

TL: ...humingi ka ng tulong kay Boyet (not his real name).

 

NYEK!!!

 

When I heard her reply, I was not sure whether I would scream or laugh (or slap her with a closed fist -- kidding!). I mean, what the fuck?! After making me talk for about a minute, after she listened intentively to what I'm saying (or at least I thought she was), that's all she had to say?

 

Can we say *omitted*?
