for SOBBING out LOUD

Love at first sight is weird… yet it happens. I don’t know why or how, but it does.

I didn’t expect CHUCK [the one on the right] would experience that to my date. Haha. Chuck is a very good friend and he always claims me as his “pamangkin” since someone else already owned me as an offspring. Haha. Of all people..

It’s funny when you realize how Chuck responded to the event when I had him introduced to this newbie. It’s different since Chuck’s the last person I would even consider marketing with this type of audience.

Basically, Chuck and I have different types… until this one. Hahaha.

I didn’t know that some his and hellos would turn the tables in a very strange manner. Chuck is a friend who knows how to care about people and I know that he’ll take care of whoever falls under his whims.

Way back ‘98 when I met Chuck, he’s already that protective type who will never let anything hurt his friends. With his nagging power, he will brush off the problem like hell. Haha. That’s why I’m pretty sure that Chuck would be a very good partner.

Last night, Tuesday, June 12, I was surprised when he and JONJON took rounds on a couple of extra sized bottles of alcohol as the former expresses his frustration to whatever he and Jonjon only know. I had a gut feeling that it’s the same reason why he’s been like that since meeting my date the other day.

Jonjon confessed that Chuck has been very emotional about it and even said that I have been very selfish with my date’s number, allegedly says Chuck… FOR SOBBING OUT LOUD! IM GIVING IT AWAY! THEY JUST NEED TO ASK COZ I DIDN’T KNOW!

It is not even morally correct to give away one person’s number without consent yet I did it anyway because I’ve been handling other peeps’ digits for eons minus their knowledge. Haha.

The point here is , whose will shall be done?

I honestly believe that it’s still mutual decision to take it to another step. Not even my influence to push them together would ever make their budding relationship fruitful.

The SUPERHERO Alter-Ego in ME…

Another reason for surfing weird sites… B-O-R-E-D-O-M. I woke up yesterday morning figuring out why I keep on sticking my ass around this company when there is a whole lot of organizations that are willing to give me more dough than this one.

However, I have strong reservations for humongous adjustments especially when I have to transfer to a different working environment, again.

Well, as my personal experience and assessment as a teen-ager, I am the type who is exaggeratingly restless. I easily get bored and I am so sorry to those guys who were affected by my lack of proper discernment during those years.

Right now, I am feeling the same doubts again… but I told myself, I need to grow up. I need to save myself from the oppression of boredom. Only me, myself and I can save me from that monstrous inkling to just bum around or to rapidly change my career path, at the least.

As I was pondering on that super alter-ego self, I came across this test about what type of superhero am I.

It asked a whole lotta questions about popularity, sympathy and generosity that would reflect my superhero counterpart.

It’s GREEN LANTERN.

Why? Because of his being “..Hot-headed. You have strong will power and a good imagination.”

Well, it’s a general view of myself, actually.. after taking other personality tests that told me about my worsening paranoia, histrionics, dependence, avoidance and other forms of psychosomatic problems, I figured out that at least, this one sums up the ego that I have. Sounds bad, but hell, I wanna help my brethren at least. Haha.

I do not wanna leave the job that I have right now for reasons that I am not ready to go outside Makati yet. Second, I am still testing the waters in leading other guys to also practice my other untickled skills. Wehehehe. I know in due time I will get what I really deserve and would make every single day real worthwhile.

Gotta attend another meeting after this… I need to save my ass from another bashing of a Hotelier client. I need to present a design that I would want to incorporate into their website… to cut the crappy boredom, actually. At least I find a bit of stress to keep my arteries pumping.

So, later. May the force be with you. =P

The Domicile of my DISCONTENT

Personality assessments are not 100% accurate especially when there are no further explanations on how these generalizations came to happen. There is always a margin for error particularly when it comes to people behavior and their outlook, as well.

However…

Just for the sake of keeping myself awake in the office, I played around with some personality tests online and one really got into my attention which made me scribbling my fingers around for awhile. http://drawahouse.com/ is a site that assesses how one personality is like after asking to doodle a house that one person can think of at that moment.

I just played around with the drawing task which is the background image of my banner for this entry. It was fun because I realized that having FLASH sites like this makes a plain topic really interesting. Unlike before, when you would have to drill down to your bag or pockets to look for a pen and waste another couple of minutes looking for a scratch paper to draw at.

After around ten to fifteen minutes, alas, my house is done!

Just like any other psycho-personality tests, an assessment of three paragraphs was divulged:
“You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are good at making friends and when the joyful moment arrives, you make the most out of it. You love your house and family. You are a gifted artist as well. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. You are very tidy person. There’s nothing wrong with that because you’re pretty popular among friends. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It is also safe to say that others don’t see you as a flirt. You don’t think much about yourself.”

The last paragraph smote me. Hahaha. What the hell does the flower in the porch have to do with my longing for love? Haha. I just don’t think that’s right. Hahaha. Everybody longs for love of course.

Me?

The domicile of my discontent is still building to achieve its biggest satisfaction…

Like a song of old goes: “A house is not a home”.

I just yearn for a straight career path, and that, my friend, is one I would make the most out of as I travel. I still hope for the best.

Ewwww…… RANGE

The recent exodus to the new office building that I am at right now is killing my eyes. The lights are orange; panels are orange; chairs are orange. *dang* the color is so warm that it aims to get me blinded by the minute. Of course I am not convinced that this setup is giving us the best workplace in the whole world. I’m feeling woozy with the loud vibrancy of the walls; the aircon is not reaching MY POD!!!; the space is too tight. The only remedy that I can think of right now is to wear my shades and protect it from any bouncing sunny orange.
Experts say that Orange is:

1. A power color. — Yeah, it’s overpowering my fore and hindsights. I am easily developing glaucoma.

2. It is one of the healing colors. — See number 1.

3. It is said to increase the craving for food. — Oh yeah, Im getting hungry, really… and after that I will throw everything up due to drowsiness.

4. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. — Enthusiasm? Well, creative yeah.. hence, this blog.

5. Orange means vitality with endurance. — Endurance to blindness.

6. People who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere. — I used to like my drink orange. That ends there.

7. Lady luck’s color is orange. — That sounds bad luck.

I have been told that if a change of any kind is need in life, just burn an orange candle for 7 nights, but hey, what it is doing to me right now!? It just wants me to pick up my ORANGE HIGHLIGHTER and sign my resignation letter for I can’t stand another hour viewing an orange-stricken work area.

I am not the complaints type of person in the office, yet I think I am entitled to some cozier environment than this one brings. I like subtlety when it comes to surroundings. A stark orange environment is simply irritating. ={ Lastly, I’ve no plans in changing my name RED to ORANGE.
