Well, actually not really. We had to work last night as usual. I cannot remember a time when I was so comfy at work that I wanted to have a blanket and a pillow with me. Too bad sleeping is not allowed during office hours. Hehe! But did have fun during the third day of our dress-down week. No stiff and uncomfortable work clothes and no painful high heels. We were in our jammies/sleeping clothes. Good thing nobody went in a Victoria’s Secret lingerie or worse, their birthday clothes (*gasp*) unless he/she wants to die of hypothermia because of the full-blast airconditioner.
Day and me: Happy Feet!

It was my first time to wear a necktie to work last night. I like it!

The whole week I’ve been looking forward to the weekend and now it’s finally here, I just had to catch some sleep and do nothing at home. Well actually, I am still doing something like type this blog entry and check my emails and later on probably watch CSI reruns and new CSI:NY episodes. I rarely watch TV and I think it’s about time I get my dose of bonding time with the small screen.
I had my phone alarm last night but was too sleepy to get out of bed. There has been news circulating the net that Mars will be closest to Earth yesterday, August 26, 2006, and can be seen by the naked eye like a second moon. Yes, it was another cyber-hoax. Oh and the news about Pluto not being a planet anymore ("Pluto Gets The Boot", CNN, 25 August 2006), I still want to believe that it is. Things change as time passes. Although it may be a dwarf planet for experts but it is still a planet for me. I’ve been taught that when I was a kid. Hehe!
I’ve always thought I had a calling in the medical field. Hmm…

Why is there always a bully? Is it because there are people who are "willing" to be bullied? Is it because some people are just too scared to show their vulnerability and weaknesses, thus they become a bully? Or maybe some people just let power and/or money inflate their heads and bully other people just because they can? It’s just irritating how people can force their views, beliefs, wants and even themselves on you just because they have the power to do so. It’s also a pity knowing there will always be people who would be weak and/or scared to fight back.
Oh no, bullies don’t just show themselves in school. They’re like pollution. They can be found everywhere. Bullies don’t just choose someone younger or smaller in size. They can choose anyone they want– anyone they can overpower. In my office I have my own "Peanut the Destroyer" (anyone who saw "Ant Bully" can laugh out loud now. Hehe!). Peanut has made lots of lives miserable and yes, I had my being-bullied-by-Peanut days too. Lately, I feel Peanut’s stepping over the line… No, I don’t want to kiss ass because I need my job. As I said before, don’t mind me. I work. I get paid. I go home. That’s all I want to do. Is that too complicated to understand?
So, let’s stop bullying and fight back!
Got this from my friends in Multiply
Social Life at Hogwarts
Your friends love you. You aren’t well-known around the school, just within your house. You are very outgoing and love to have fun. You get decent marks in class and play quidditch.
Harry: Doesn’t know you very well, but thinks your nice and funny.
Ron: Thinks your a good person and wishes he was as good in Quidditch as you.
Hermione: She thinks you should think more about your grades, but thinks you are still a good role-model.
Ginny: Thinks you are the perfect role-model and hopes she’ll be like you, which means she wants to have guy friends like you.
Neville: Doesn’t talk to you because you are older than him and are kind of intimidating.
Fred and George: Fred thinks you are a great prankster partner and George has a crush on you. They love that you always help them with their pranks.
Oliver Wood: Has a huge crush on you, probably because you are just as quidditch obsessed as he is.
Cedric Diggory: Thinks you were a great quidditch player and thanked you profusely (before he died) for setting him up with Cho.
Cho Chang: She is like your younger sister. You watch over her and you were the one who set her up with Cedric. She adores you and will miss you when you graduate.
Lavender Brown: Doesn’t know you very well. Doesn’t talk to you either.
Draco Malfoy: Only knows your name and hates you for always kicking his arse in quidditch.
Pansy: Doesn’t know you.
Crabbe and Goyle: Same as Pansy
Dumbledore: Thinks you are a very bright witch.
McGonagall: You are the apple of her eye. You are excellent in Transfiguration.
Hagrid: Likes you because you are nice to him.
Snape: Hates you. You suck at potions and he doesn’t let you forget it.
Voldemort: Doesn’t think of you as a threat or possible ally. Doesn’t care about you at all.
Reputation: The Quidditch Girl.

Oh, so Oliver Wood and George Weasley has a crush on me huh? Ok, group hug anyone? LOL!
I haven’t had a decent sleep yet. Hopefully I’ll get some tonight. Despite my days off, I spent most of my time outside the house. It’s been a while, years maybe, since I had a night out. People like me who work at night usually don’t have the time for a night out and gimmick with friends.
Saturday night, we had a "team building"/bonding session with my friends and teammates from work. We got a VIP lounge from Elbow Room in Metrowalk, Ortigas and enjoyed videoke, billiard/pool for the guys and a bit of expensive food. Some of us ended up winding down in Gloria Jeans in Glorietta because it’s nearer our place.

Earlier today, I had lunch with 3 of my closest friends from college. It’s been a long, long time since I last saw them. Now, we’re older and have our own lives but I’m glad to say we still had a blast hanging out with each other. It was really, really fun and I surely missed their company. We had lunch + videoke (again!) in Red Box in Greenbelt 3 (oh my poor voice!) and had dessert in Starbucks Glorietta. We shared some stories and some plans in the near future. I hope we see each again other some time soon and spend more time together.

It was worth the time, effort and some holes in my pocket. Haha!
Ngunit ngayon kay bilis maglaho ng kahapon
Sana’y huwag kalimutan ang ating mga pinagsamahan
At kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin
Na minsan tayo ay naging
Tunay na magkaibigan…
~"Minsan" by Eraserheads
Today was dragging. Monday shifts are usually like that for me. I ended my shift a couple of hours ago. The calls were mostly awful and the dreary weather outside wasn’t helping. I was just counting the seconds until I logged off of my work computer. My last call was legit (not a prank or fraud call). Though I usually get impatient when I’m about to end my shift, good thing I didn’t rush it off. Why? Because I got one truly rare moment when the customer I spoke with told me I’m doing a great job. No qualms, no calling for supervisor… just a straightforward compliment from another human being.
I have to admit, however helpful my job may be, I seldom get honest compliments from someone whose life just got a little less complicated because of my presence. I’m sure a lot of you out there can relate to this. It would really help if people (yes, even ourselves) would give away a smile or a compliment or tip to the people who have always been a part of our otherwise mundane existence. That simple gesture the person did brightened up my day. It’s like having 99 bad calls and getting a good last one. I ended up forgetting the bad 99 and went home with a smile on my face. That was one more lesson learned today. Yes, that was my cherry on top.
