My Day: Just my Luck.

So, you really want to know about my day? It was a mix of good gone bad and bad gone good. My morning was horrible; I went to Eastwood to have my Graphic Exam. I got it to the waiting list, that’s bad enough. I didn’t fail though, but the fact that I got it into the waiting list is a jargon of, “No chance!” But hey, there are 3 marks, pass, fail, the other one would be on the waiting list. I had no muse at the time. My creative juice usually flows around midnight. I took the exam at 9:15 A.M. That gotta suck men! I really ain’t expecting a call back, but I hope I do get e re-take exam. By the way, if ever I get the job I would start by May 12 (Which I really didn’t get, so why the hell? I’m just saying.) I was so disappointed that morning, because I really love the job they’re offering, “Junior Web Designer”. Basically, you make ads for clients using Photoshop and Illustrator (Fireworks and Dreamweaver is a plus, and HTML), in a dual flat screen monitor. Haven’t seen some tablets though, maybe the AutoCad department has some, but who knows right?

So after sucking up on my “defeat”, I didn’t want to go home yet, twas dismayed, so, I texted my friend, Myleen. I asked her what her plans are for the day, and she told me that she’s going to school. I tagged along since I have some paperwork to be done at school. We ate lunch together then went to the registrar’s office. After that she went back to her office. She told me that she’ll be back. So I’ve waited for almost two hours (and the heat was intense I tell you!). Good thing she has a car, and I was relieved from the heat I’ve absorbed.(It burns! The heat burns!)

We went to SM Fairview. First store we went through was Booksale. She bought two books and I reserved 2 books (James Patterson’s Beach Road and Vinegar Hill by Ansay). I already had a copy of Vinegar Hill, but it has a hell lot of spine creases, so I grabbed a copy which is obviously better. We decided to go to Robinson’s Booksale after that.

On the way to Robinson’s, I saw my high school classmate, had an exchange of Hi’s and Hello’s. Little did I know, she was at the recruitment department of Convergys Commonwealth, she asked me if I wanted to apply. I had my second thoughts, since I want to be based on an IT department. Myleen convinced me that I should try it for the sake of an interview experience (I get too nervous). So the process was fast since I have a hell lot of resumes in my bag, I didn’t need to fill up the application form. The interview was quick. First question was, “What position are you applying for?” I got intimated since, I really don’t have anything in mind since I was convinced to take the opportunity for experience. So I said, “I really don’t have any idea since your recruiter approached me and I’ve taken the offer to take my chances, but if given the chance, I would like to apply for a job that is on the IT field”. The interviewer said that they have only CSR accounts available, but if I want to be an agent, I could choose an account that has something to do with technical support (DSL services to be exact). After that , was a series of questions like, “Are you willing to work in shifting hours and days?” The no-brainer questions. So after that (which is about 5-7 minutes), the interviewer gave me an endorsement letter (speeds up the application. You have to go the office though for interview, with less process of course. Only available for a month). And guys, check this out, after the interview, (Convergys’ job fair was held inside Go Nuts Donuts), they gave me a stub which is entitled for a free Pizza Bread, 2 Cookies and an Iced tea. Now blow me down! Had an unexpected opportunity and had a free snack!

After that, we continued our way to Robinson’s Booksale. Myleen bought 2 books, and I, again, reserved 2 very, very good books (The Magician’s Assistant, and, The Secret Twin). Yes! Myleen bought some flip-flops after that, she bought some ballers too. She got me a Doraemon phone charm, and she got a Spongebob phone charm.

We went back to SM Fairview, I then remembered that I have a gift check for Starbucks, So I used it (I was thirsty.. WHAT?!), added 15 bucks for a tall Iced Café Mocha, and she asked for my name. I told her, “SEI-RAH”, this lesb beside her was like, “Ano po spelling ng name ninyo?”, I said, “Ikaw bahala :)”. My reason for this? I’m amused how people spell my name, I’ve encountered a hell lot of ways how people spell my name. She spelled my name as “SAIRA”, wonderful. That’s totally different from “SEIRAH”. It’d be better if she spelled it as “SAY-RA” (Still sounds like SAIRA, wtf?). Anyways, moving on, Hear ye! Hear ye! When the receipt was printed by the cashier (named Rob.. as in Robina) was like, “Oh ma’am, you’re so lucky, you get a free Tall drink after you visit this site (which is printed in the receipt), and answer the customer reaction, after that there will be a code given to you, write it in the receipt and present it in any Starbucks Shop, anytime, anywhere.” She was soooo nice, when I went out she was like, "Bye po! :)" And in my mind I was like, “Just my luck, just my luck.”

My Confession. My Final Say.

A sudden chain of events has happened within this year. Have lost a lot, but gained a lot. Life was meant to be lived and not to be played with. I didn’t take life seriously and the motion of bad luck has ticked once again. I haven’t blogged for ages, and this is the time I felt that I can exceed my expectations to amuse myself with what I write. There are a lot of times that I want to write, but when I am about to strike my keyboard with the swirl of thoughts that has been playing on my mind, it just fades, evanescent. The weather has a lot to do with the inspiration to write. It is as if the cool breeze has been my muse. The moonlit clouds, the silhouette of the trees gently swaying with the wind. The –ber months is near. I love the dry cold wind that’s caressing my face.




I haven’t failed to disappoint myself this quarter. Why can’t I have the things I want? I feel so left behind, so alone, so stupid and so annoying. I keep telling myself that I’ll muster my strength to talk to you, but when you’re there, all I can do is to stay silent and pretend that I don’t care, even if I do. My silence is my proof. I am caught red-handed. I am guilty, and it’s obvious that it’s written in my face. All I can do is stare and talk to you indirectly. But then again, I’ll take my chances; No damage on your side. It’s just when you get to read this, I’ll have to suffer the embarrassment. It’s just I feel ignored (pampam ako!). I have conditioned myself that I have no chances at all.



I bet you won’t get to read this. I wish you could.



You know who you are.

Remains

As I lay my head on my bedroom floor
Flashes of dreams collides my sanity
Vivid images of you, I crave for more
Your scent on my skin, feeds my vanity

You stayed as an illusion, you're unreachable
Allured by your voice, I'm imprisoned
I tried to preserve you in my world, I wasn't able
I was deranged, I was demented, I was mislaid.

Fragments of your existence still remains
I still hear you whispering in my ear
My imagination has failed me once again
Keeping me alive, keeping me insane.

The remains of what there is left behind. Keeping you alive, but delusional at the same time.

Crude and Obscene

Made it and posted in in deviantart. Click here to see my account

Imperfect, unpolished, unwanted
Is how we were when we first met
Almost dying, barely breathing
Liquor drenched lips, burning eyes.


By chance we met each other
reading each other's obscene thoughts
exchanging deranged ideas
exploring everything we could think of


Blood drenched souls, Dark schemes
Killing them in our dreams
The same passion, the same lust
We were once crude, but now we're only obscene. 

After ages of my writer's block, here's a poem that goes out for my soul-mate. I like how evil we can be, and yet understand each other. Like I said, you're the male version of me, and I'm the female version of you. Too bad you're on the other side of the world. For my How could I not miss you? 

Lots and Lots

I can't put my thought into words. A lot has happen. A lot has changed. Might talk bout it next time.

Till then.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood Season 2

Finally! After five years of wait, FMA is back! Bigger and better. The success of the manga which was made way back 2003 was aired in series after 6 months. The first season lasted for a year! With 51 episodes. The series stayed in life with the manga in the first half, the other half just went wrong! SPOILER: In the end, Al was transformed back to his original child self with no memories of whatsoever happened between the times he was in the "tin can" form, and Edward was transported to the "Hitler" times. Kinda disappointed when I finished that anime. I never had thought of reading the manga (I don't know why) but I am so so super duper hyped with the new season!

You can download it (with a streaming capturing downloader) at http://www.chia-anime.com I tell you the quality is great if you download it! as in HQ!

As of today (4-11-09), there are 2 episodes out.

Go watch!

Edit: And yeah, twas listening to the opening song.. The voice was familiar.. turns out to be I was right! The opening song is entitled AGAIN and it's by YUI! I bet she has a new album out! And I didn't heard about it!

SO HYPED!!!!
