Doppelgangers, etc. 9:31 AM

It was past noon when I woke up yesterday so I didn't bother to come to work. Weird thing was, when I got to work today, some of the people here insisted that they (supposedly) saw me, sitting in front of my computer at around 8 in the morning. Wow, doppelganger is actually more punctual than me! Anyways, I hope this is not bad luck.


I spent yesterday cleaning up the room, mostly because there is nothing to do. People have also been visiting and hanging out there and the room's state is getting embarrassing (I'm getting tired of pushing clutter to the side of the bed to make room for someone to sit on). 


I also watched season 9 of Friends for the most part of the day (while I'm doing other things). It never fails to crack me up, even when I'm not watching it full on. Thesis days, I had it on a small window at the side of the laptop's screen while I'm transcribing and all that crap. Helped me get through those days when I was tired and bored like hell.



So, long story short, I had a pretty productive day at home. I wish it were the same with work, too. But no beating myself up yet. One thing at a time.

More 'social life' for me 10:20 AM

I hung out with Nibi last night and it was the first time in, like, forever that I made tambay oldschool-style. I met her at Cafe Noriter just above Tapa King along Estrada. I have always been intrigued by that place and therefore have never been there before. The place was actually great except for the limited choices of food (coffee included) available. 

Anyway, we sat on big squishy pillows on the floor, drank coffee and chatted like college kids on a free night. I really missed that kind of feeling. Now I hardly have the time (and money) to do things like that. 

It was also Lyca's birthday yesterday (damn, we are 20+ already) and there were free pizzas and soda for everyone at the dorm. Good thing, too, because I'm running low on money again and payday won't be for days. I missed the party poppers but the food was great, yay!

Oh, I should be getting back to work. Wonderful wonderful work.

Doodles from the forgotten 10:54 AM

I found this written on the back of a notepad:

Is it the calm after the storm? It isn't actually calm, strictly speaking. But at least my insides are calm. A few days ago, it was ground zero. Major screaming and accusations, anger levels off the charts.

I don't even remember what this was about. It's just amusing to find something you felt so strongly about before again.
 

A continuing battle of pros and cons 10:06 AM

Though I know I probably won't get to, I am thinking of quitting my job.

Fleeting happiness 5:07 PM

For an hour, I did not think about you. Not once.

And it felt good. 

Hanging 1:15 PM

You always leave me--

all I want is you 10:28 AM

you say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
a treasure just to look upon it
all the richest in the night

you say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness
a river in a time of dryness
a harbour in the tempest

but all the promises we make
from the cradle to the grave
when all I want is you

you say you want your love to work out right
to last with me through the night

you say you want diamonds in a ring of gold
your story to remain untold
your love not to grow cold


all the promises we break
from the cradle to the grave
when all I want is you


you
all I want is you

Wake up, it's time
I need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know, I need to know tonight

Sweet and divine
Razor of mine
Sweet and divine
Razorblade shine

Patience, my dear
We could spend a lifetime waiting here
Maybe this time
I hope I get the chance to say goodbye

Day after day
Cutting away
