This is My Life

Friday, 7 PM, nice weather outside and I’m on my couch watching BBC World and surfing the internet all at the same time.

Pathetic?….I think that’s an understatement.

0930 AM

I am sleepy, again. It’s not as if I didn’t get enough sleep last night. It’s just that I’m bored and lazy as hell.

1100 AM

I can hear my stomach grumbling. I’m hungry, famished. Today is kind a slow, I mean there is work but you can feel, sense it in the atmosphere that people are not frantic or in panic mode or maybe it’s just me. Ok it’s just me. I need to go to the bank and open a checking account. I need to pay my bills. But I don’t feel like walking, although the weather is great outside. Ok I’m going, I’m gone.

0130 PM

Large greasy fries and a classic fatty chicken sandwich from McDonalds, that’s my lunch. I feel dizzy; it must be the grease or the fat or both. They just told me that starting this week I would start supporting production issues. I seriously think that this is out of scope based on our statement of work unfortunately I’m a mere ‘aliping sagigilid’ so my opinion doesn’t count.

0450 PM

I’m just waiting for my 5 PM call. I’m supposed to enlighten this Project Manager, I call her ‘Perky Pechay’ because she is so bursting with perkiness every time you talk to her and what’s amazing is that she’s on her early 50’s already, on forecasting and ensuring that she doesn’t get dinged again.

0630 PM

It went well; she was able to understand everything easily. I would have liked it better had she consented on learning how to avoid them in the future but hey who am I to judge? I’m done now. I will go home now and watch TV and post this on my blog.

This is my nth attempt…ok maybe i’m exaggerating a bit…3rd attempt at blogging. A classic example of me not being able to finish what I have started. I could list them down but i don’t think it’d interest you and besides it would be too taxing for me.

this is my 4th week in new york and i feel like i haven’t been out that much.

i watched spamalot last weekend, it was hilarious, insightful, and entertaining. the story is about king arthur and his knights quest for the holy grail…now i need to find mine.

the week before that and before that i just went out to the city…going to the malls….visiting relatives….eating at sabret, i was hungry and i’m cheap, john’s pizzeria, olivers garden or was it olive? i can’t remember, mc donalds, it was nearest the theatre showing Wicked, did i mentioned I tried my luck to win tickets for Wicked in the Lottery for the 9th time already! talk about tough luck! happy hour at a japanese restaurant, live band and stand up comic in cafe wha, and beer with quesedilla in a mexican bar.

i want to go out there and party…i need to find myself someone who would tour or join me in a ‘dora the explorer’ adventure to NY’s dance club! anybody interested?!
