Top Saver

Being on the verge of becoming a bum makes me a bit sensitive of my money. And despite my motto of go-treat-and-pamper-yourself-because-your-work-is-too-much-hell, I always make sure that there will be enough money to sustain me in my idle period. When I checked my passbook lately, I saw that I actually earned a monthly interest! Cool, huh? I didn't expect that since most banks give quarterly interest. I know I should have known that before opening the account. But I just wanted a low-maintaining passbook account and therefore I was given the Top Saver account in Allied Bank and never asked anything at all. According to my sister who has the same kind of account, the Top Saver account limits you to two withdrawal per month, too. This is really a nice program for people who want to save money. Monthly interest. Limited Withdrawal. Nice. Really nice.

Farewell Letter

Okay, I am indeed excited for my resignation. I have been eagerly working on the things to turnover. I am looking forward to meet my replacement. What else? I dream of April 15. I dream of having the last day in work. It may sound like I am disgusted with the company I am working for or that I hate the people I work with, but I am not. I do hate the work chores. I might not like the company, but I am not that bitter.

That is why I find it funny to have stumbled upon a sample farewell letter in the internet. Haha Definitely, my farewell letter won't be like that. Haha I am actually looking for a letter that would squeeze out all the tears of my future ex-officemate. Haha Yeah, gusto kong iyakan nila ako. Hahaha They have to shed a tear. Haha

Poke Your Face

I just remembered this particular wowowee scene I have watched the past few days where the contestant answered "Poke Your Face" instead of Poker Face. I find it funny and decided to have the title of my post for this blog. Haha (It's not related to Wowowee though...)

Anyway, it's my third absence in work this week. (I need to mention this... Thanks for the medical certificate, Bets! Hehe.) Tomorrow is supposed to be the fourth one in a row for I got a text late this afternoon inviting me to an exam and interview. I got so excited that I texted some friends about it. I was so prepared to have another absence in work when I got a reply that the company that just invited me for the interview is said to have a bad record as an employer. So the fun stopped there. I wanted to poke my face.

Going back to my life... I dropped by Canon in Pasong Tamo early this afternoon before heading to Summit Media for my second interview only to find out that my lens' flex is broken and I have to spend Php1400 for its part and repair. Toinks. Poke my face again. I need donations. In cash or in kind (only accepts new Canon lens for 1000D).

Poke your face. Po-po-po-po-poke your face.

My 2010 so far...

So far, I feel very glad and lucky that opportunities are here for my 2010 bucket list. I feel that I need to update this.. add some more goals, especially now that my stars are aligned. I will really really think what more to aim this year. For the meantime, here's the update with my bucket list. :) Expect to have different looks of my list everytime I update. Hehe. Click the pic to enlarge.

Wow Mali?

I don't know if these experiences were part of the show Wow Mali. Or sadya lang na may mga batang gago?

I took the public bus coming back to Manila after the New Year's and was dropped off along EDSA-Cubao. It was already dark. Few people were walking along the streets. Indeed, the ambience was like may-estrangherong-snatcher-sa-kanto-at-may-manggagahasa-sa-dulo. But I was not scared. All I was thinking was to go home, watch TV and be consistent that riding a public bus to and from Pangasinan is long and tiring. Then, a kid suddenly came out from a sack lying on the middle of the bangketa saying something like "bulaga." Shet. What the hell?

The next one was just half an hour ago. Still hot and fresh from the oven.

I didn't go to work today, because I am "sick." So while walking along Taft Avenue this afternoon, two to three dirty kids suddenly went out from hiding from the bushes of McDonald's! Goodness gracious!

>.<

Please let me know if you've seen me in TV. I might not be aware that I am already famous.

Halik Sa Lupa

Woot. Woot. I just came from a free 3D2N trip to Punta Fuego courtesy of my employer. Sarap! Syempre, una, kasi libre. Secondly, it was really really nice. Very relaxing. Beautiful. A love.

The experience was really a halik-sa-lupa. As what I mentioned in my "To Dos's" blog, I am aiming to experience beach and be able to go out of Region 1. So far, fate has been very kind to give such opportunity for me.

Savoring the beach was halik-sa-lupa, because I am not much of a beach-lover. Syempre, kung Bonuan at San Fabian beaches lang naman ang nararanas mo, hindi talaga maghahangad ang isang pessimistic ng beach. This time, parang naisip ko, gusto kong parang luho ang beach. Dati, wa ako care kung hindi man ako makarating ng Boracay. Iba na ako ngayon.

PS. BTW, the beach experience could have been a photography experience for me as well. But my Dslr suddenly stopped focusing. At first, it was only having a hard time looking for a focus. Then after a shot, it gave up. And until now, it still doesn't work. Sad.

Work-In Progress
