Over Time

Today is our deadline in our respective AR Accounts. I’ve been here in the company for almost 8 months, and these 8 months is very routinely.  We do confidential transaction to meet the corporate satisfaction and business profitability.  I always sacrifice my first week of the month to meet the required reports.  But if I look into positive sides, we have budget allowance if we render overtime, our over stayed hours in the office are paid accurately based on our time keeping, and this over time are allotted to pay my cut-off taxes. Time check its 10:15pm Philippine time; hope I can finish it within today. I hope I’m still alive; more coffee more fun.  

Feeling DISTURBIA

Disturbia  = The feeling of dread or shock that comes with the realization that something that is normally considered normal and safe is, in fact, horribly dangerous or wrong.

This is my favorite song for this day! Have you ever experience this feeling?  Feeling dreadful? Feeling down and envy?  After hearing this song, I feel the energy in my veins, feeling insane or mix of emotions that strives me to do something irrational.

Disturbia by Rihanna.

I Love this song.

What's wrong with me?

Why do I feel like this?

I'm going crazy now

No more gas, in the red, can't even get it started

Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it

On my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it

Feels like I'm going insane, yeah

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you

It can creep up inside you and consume you

A disease of the mind, it can control you

It's too close for comfort

Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder

Aint gon play nice, watch out you might just go under

Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered

So if you must falter be wise

Your minds in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light

Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?

Disturbia, aint used to what you like

Disturbia, disturbia

Star-Crossed Love_Indie Film

Indie film (Independent Film) caters local and International Cinema. Filipinos also showcase their talents not only in the Philippines but also in the whole world of cinematography.  This kind of film explicit reality in our society.   When I was in 4^th year college I was hooked in this kind of film because its tackles social taboos, politics, teenage sex, morality, religion, gay, prostitutes, social norms and poverty.

One of the indie film that I really love is entitled “ LAPIT NA ME, LIGO NA U” it was first published from a book same title as to Indi film. This book was written by Eros Atalia.  I remember the day that I read this book in National Bookstore Gateway cubao, it is sealed with a plastic cover but I slit it and open the plastic cover and silently reading the book at the book shelve. I was standing the around 5^th lines of surrounded bookshelves around every corner of the store.  Honestly, I don’t have the money to buy the book so the next day I remember the page where I stopped then its time continue in reading this book. Until I came to the final pages that break my heart.  There’s no closure. Unfortunately, the chapter 2 of the book was not there, maybe there’s no stock available, or maybe the clerk noticed me that I’m reading it secretly so they hide on the other shelves or floor. 

Same with film it captures every idea or theme that the book wanted to imply. Love, sex, family, perks, friendship, religion and beliefs. This film is like a FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS Filipino version, but I might say that this film give its own direction. It incarcerates the idea of love with no label and closure. That love among teenagers has no label at all. The love doesn’t need tag to say that you’re belonging to each other. Physical union and oneness of body is great without asking a question how great it is. Lastly, I hope the second book would also narrated into motion picture/ Indi film.

Paradise that never sleep- BORACAY!

I want to share with you my extravagant experience in Boracay.  This lavish Island surrounded by beautiful and hospitable Filipinos plus different nationalities wanted to experience the wonder of nature.   Actually, I would like to thank my friend Joy Andama for our special sponsor. I and my friends named: Arjay, Enteng, Liezel and jao landed in Aklan last April 2012 ( late post). This is my first time to travel 350 Kilometers away from manila riding on a bus and Roro Boat. It is petrifying but I had fun because of the sea breeze and amazed at the same time of water structure surrounded the entire island.

From Manila to Batangas to Caticlan. Finally, along journey starts and rolling here.  I like the concept of riding in “balsa” were in your like a high end tourist of your own country.  Then approaching the Boracay Island was superb.  I feel the excitement in my veins.  It’s time to power up.

Sunday that never sleep!

It’s awkward why I can’t sleep early at 10:00pm. I should go to sleep earlier because I have to report early tomorrow at 7:00am in the office.  Suddenly it’s magic. I decided to turn on the television. Over this week all news reportedly covers the typhoon Haiyan.  This is havoc typhoon washed out shelters, crops, lives and industries. As I turned on  the tv abs-cbn(channel 2) gives a tribute to all the victims of typhoon. An all-star concert that all proceeds will be added on Sagip Kapamilya Fund. This is a very clever program to rebuild the spirit of hope and trust to all Filipinos. Unselfish way to ease the pain and trauma of unexpected calamity.   Then, I feel sleepy. Its  11:34pm,  better time to go bed.
