When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
This about sums it up: "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." - Cheers

"Thanks. This time I am stronger. I know what to do. I now understand. Thanks to you."
Well, it's now mine. And really, thanks to you I'm done.
I'm done with you. Ciao!

Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cuz right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cuz you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
(it's ridiculous)
It's been months
And for some reason I just
(can't get over us)
And I'm stronger then this
(enough is enough)
No more walkin round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Cryin over you
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta fix that calender I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be
That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Dont make me think about his smile
Or having my first child
Let it go
Turning off the radio
Cuz I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing he was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Oh and another thing, I just finished The Devil Wears Prada and it was deliciously fab! I can't wait for the movie. If I was Ahn-dre-ah, I would have committed Murder 1 by the 3rd month. Patience, as they say, is despair disguised as a virtue. (Was that profound or what? Haha!) I'm not THAT virtuous. Or I'm not virtuous at all. You pick.  But heck, I keep forgetting about all those freebies. I could stand in line at Starbucks to buy coffee wearing Prada, running around town for my boss's lunch in Manolo's and getting the puppy from the vet sporting a Jimmy Choos... hmmmm... I might develop patience too.... Nah, I'd be happier in Havainas and Hanes. But for all fledglings or full pledged fashionistas out there, this is a Must Read!

The heat is killing me! Just going outside and buying food zaps my strength. Manila is like one big polluted, congested oven, always pre-heated. Even the nights are hot! I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait for the rainy season. It's just too much already. I can't even go to work during graveyard shift these days, 'coz I can't slip during daytime. It freakin' smoulders! So, I'm working late mornings now. It's great that I can semi-decide my shifts. (Depending on classes and IOFs) Let's hope this weather lets up soon. I can't take this anymore! I'm gonna hit the beach again. The sun is always good when your beside the surf.
On to good things. I just came from a job interview. i'm not job hunting, but the jobs are hunting me, so might as well take advantage of it. You never know if this is THE ONE. I'm still relatively happy with PS, (Except for some stuff, that I am NOT gonna discuss right now) but, it's always good to keep other options open. Anyhoo, the whole thing went well. It was very informal. I was wearing my trademark flipflops and my grungy jeans and this really loud pink shirt that I just discovered I had in my closet. I think It went okay 'coz I really wasn't thinking about it, yah know? I wasn't even worried 'coz i really don't care one way or another if I get it or not. I'll just play it by ear and burn the bridge when I get there. Haha!
The previous week was spent getting re-aquianted with friends. I tried to make time with guys and gals who feels neglected by moi already. It was pure joy, catching up with what's been happening with our respective lives. Fun and suprisingly relaxing. I'm done shaking off my excess baggages and am feeling proportionately content these days. I'm on the right track. It took a while, but I'm there.

I swear! Chris Daugtry can rock my world anytime! But the way the votes are going, I still can't say if he'll be one of the final 3. I though Kellie Pickler would be gone and pickled 3 weeks ago, but, egawd! She's still there. What a waste of space. Some people need to be reminded it's a singing competition and not a "lookie-here-i'm-stupid-and-cute" contest. Geesh...
*Sigh*. That's it...

I was watching the Today Show or CNN or some other show a couple of weeks ago and saw this feature about praying for the sick.
It seems that a medical group did a study (That amounted to $2.4 million dollars mind you) and was able to prove that praying for the sick does not help them get better. They got 1,800 plus (Dunno the exact number, it never sticks with me, so let's just make this a sample) people who underwent bypass surgery and divided them into 3 groups. One group had people praying for them without them knowing, another group had people praying for them and they were informed about it. And the last group had nobody praying for them at all. The conclusion was that the group who had nobody praying for them got better faster, the next group, (Them not knowing they were being prayed for) healed also the same way and the group that had people praying for them and knew it, took a long time to get well. Some even got worse.
The researches said it was because they were pressured to get well because of the prayers. And apparently, they couldn't take it and got "performance anxiety". They also went on the record to say that the study is not aimed in disproving or proving the existence of God.
My take? Somebody actually funded a research that had no objective or goal in mind? I could've done something worthwhile with that $2.4 million, like, go shopping for instance. CRAP!

On Doldrums, Ennui, Lethargy, Listlessness and Everything Else in Between...
I'm currently thesping the lazy game at work this week. Coming in and sitting on my station doing reports is my least favorite thing, so I have to improvise to alleviate the malaise that I'm feeling. In comes Kitch. Did I tell you she rocks? Well, allow me to correct that oversight... KITCH ROCKS!!! 
She introduced me to Limewire. Apparently I.T. forgot to surf control it. (Whoopee for me!) And me, being the shrewd and resourceful person that I am (Ehem, ehem) tried to see if it'll go through. What do you know? It's now the highlight of my boring day.
So, Kitch tells me what to look for and I happily click away. End of apathy right? Well... Kitch left me to fend for myself and now I'm overwhelmed. She was so good at holding my hand that now I'm lost. And I do so hate reading Help. I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow. (Lazy Cha!) *Sigh* I'll just sit here and twiddle my thumbs again.
Oh right, I have work to do...

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ok, this is one hell of a doozy. I am so tired with all the running around and trying to get things moving. Some people are just born un-cooperative. I don't get it. They're getting paid to do their jobs, yet somehow they seem to conveniently forget it. And at the most crucial times too. Crap. 
I'm kinda feelin' nostalgic and sentimental today because 2 peeps from our training team will be leaving us. I'm realy not used to people leaving our fold. Specially since we're having fun these days and despite all the current issues and trials that we are goinng through, we're still a bunch of happy popular people (HPP, that's how we're pegged) who get on well together. But again, who am I to hinder growth?
Suprisingly, I'd probably miss Manqui too. (Evil Cha!!! )
Dia and I had a loooong talk last week. I can see clearly now all of the stuff I was confused about and I can finally put all my fears to rest. There's no better way to slay your demons other than killing them with chatter. Thanks Dia! I got a lot of insights! 
Finally finished with our client's Business Operations Leadership training. That was a tedious, tiring, very informative AND fulfilling 4 days. Although there were times when I could just strangle people with frustration, it was still good. I learned a bunch of new stuff that are practical enough to use. There are some cheezy parts but all in all it was constructive. I can't wait for the next run.
Anyhoo... need to get back to the grind. My JD's filling itself up as I write. Ciao!
