My Little Munster said...

While we were doing videoke one Saturday night, Lemon chose Through The Fire for me to sing. Of course I had to react badly, (HELLO, Through the Fire kaya yon!) protesting that it's still too early for me to humiliate myself.

Just then, Lemon took the mic from me and said, "ako na kakanta! Kaya ko yan kantahin kahit di ako lasing!" (I'll sing it! I don't need to get drunk to be able to sing it!) Nyaaaar!

And then the other night, it was the neighbor's turn to do videoke. The horrible singing and doubly horrible volume at which the horrible neighbors were singing the horrible songs made our bodies twitch in pain. Lemon, obviously running out of patience (she was watching Sailor Moon Live Action Series), declared, "ANO BA YAAAN! Ipabarangay na nga natin sila!!!" (it;s like saying, "let's have them arrested")

 

Something tells me I should start saving up for pyansa (bail) money.

Your thoughts on freelancing here, please.

Hello there!  I know it's been a while since I last sat in front of the computer to come up with a blog entry that's more than a couple sentences long.  I've been very busy evading real life, failing miserably.  My alternate dimension somehow connects with real life and I hate it. LOL.

What about the title? Oh yeah. Hehe...  I am seriously considering quitting employment.  I'm tired of chasing after other people's plans and dreams.  I'm tired of measuring my success through other people's standards.  And I'm tired of doing things I do not enjoy doing. 

I love to draw, I love to read, I love to inform, I love to teach, I love to write, I love to cook, I love to socialize, I love to organize events, I love to go places, I love to shock people, I love being a geek, I love to just be me.

In the back of my mind I know I'm scared that I'd go hungry if this "I'm my own boss" dream of mine turns out to be a nightmare.  But in the darkest corners of my heart I also feel that maybe this fear is what's stopping me from achieving my dreams for a long time now.  Maybe I can pull this off if I'd only let go.  Maybe...

Your thoughts are most welcome.  Please help confuse me some more.  Hehe..

Huling Hirit

Lemon is coming home in 5 hours. Me being excited is an understatement. She's been away for five long weeks and I couldn't sleep thinking I'm gonna hug her again after such a long time.

I've long accepted the fact that I need her more than she needs me, my little munster.

So tonight I said goodbye to ambush drinking sessions, sleepovers, hungover workdays and anime marathons. No I'm not regretful, I am actually very excited. Finally, the nagger conscience is coming back.

Just how did I say goodbye? Pigged out at Sbarro with my Wednesday Group, had coffee with AnneRicePhil's Keeper and had rounds of Red Horse with my usual Friday group (Wednesday and Friday sessions conveniently moved a few days back). And at 4am I am preparing to watch a dozen episodes of Bleach til the little munster arrives.

Yes, I filed a leave. There's no way I am letting her outta my sight the day she comes home.  ^.^

Sayonara, recklessness. Ja ne!

This is me, saying hi from another dimension.

Lately I've been very autistic. My little munster is spending summer with her dad in Leyte. Not having a growing kid to take care of made me realize how much spare time I have. Instead of sulking in misery out of missing her so much, I tried to find things that would entertain me.

Funny how as an adult, I still find happiness in things I've loved as a kid. I'm talking about stuff from up to 20 years ago (I know, OLD). Recently I've been watching a lot of anime, Asian comedy-drama-fantasy series and planning world domination. And by that I meant inventing my own little world where I live the rock and roll lifestyle. Reading's taken a backseat.

Well, of course there are friends. My regular drinking buddies stopped being just my drinking buddies - they've become indispensable little suckers I can no longer live without. I miss the old timers and I wish I could have spent some time with them during this temporary yuppie existence. Sometimes when I get too lonely, I just pick a memory from my mind's pocket
and play it over and over again, like an iPod playlist on repeat. And sometimes I make my own (nasty) fanfic out of it.

So there. This is just a peek into my temporary autism, for those of you who are starting to wonder where the heck I am. I hope you guys are doing better than I am. I'm practically vegetating and I'm okay with it. Life will return to normal soon, I hope. But then again, normal is boring.

Kampai!!!
