This weekend, JesCom Radio takes a deeper look at death in time for the commemoration of the all saints' and souls' day.

One of the things lurking in my mind is that... am i living in the past?

I already went to hell and back a few years ago... I don't want to go back there.. It's like saying I have to die all over again. For what? Or, do I really refuse to go back?

Well, not really.

I've been promoted from Publications Officer to Radio Production Manager effective last October 1. It's pretty exciting, yet I still feel a bit nauseous when I think of my new responsibilities. I know I'm going to enjoy this new chapter. Ayayay! God help me! I still can't get the hang of it, especially now that I still have projects for publications on my shoulders. It's just like: the boat is sinking! The boat is sinking! Someone told me that if it's already there on the seabed, I should get another boat. I disagree. It's not right to just leave it lying there. After all, the captain must sink with his ship, right?

Stress is my favorite word. It's the new definition of my name. Every now and then, I tell myself to think of happy thoughts so I won't get drowned with all the negativity in my current state. Sleepless nights with nightmares; nagging from the wrong people; confusion from a heart's curse. All these are not really helping me. Good Lord, help me!

And so I bid good bye to my cold October; wait for the heat to arrive and give me new life. *sighs* It's another journey ahead.

Fun started Friday night out with Rica at Pino. Well, we had dinner at her place first then we drove to Pino. There we saw our old "kuya" from YFC, Ruben. Kuya Ruben, as we call him, is PJ's brother - PJ being one of the three owners of PINO. We met Star, one of the owners then she and kuya Ruben stayed at the al fresco area with their friends. I made Rica listen to some episodes of our radio drama. It was a night of laughter and reminiscing. Then we learned that another YFC "ate" Monina and her sister Karla were staying at The Coffee Library nearby, we were supposed to go over and there to say hi, but we forgot eventually. Soon we were joined by our long-time friend, Mark. It was like a YFC reunion, that night. Full of stories, catching up, juicy info. Haha. Too bad Kuya Gelo wasn't able to tag along because of his fever.

Saturday afternoon, the Bully Society celebrated Nica's birthday at Redbox in Trinoma. It was also the first time in 2 years that I saw JJ.











As usual, being cam whores united, we took a lot of pictures and videos of ourselves singing! Hahaha! We had so much fun! We promised ourselves another "gig" (hehe) probably on Fab's birthday!





















On our way to Gloria Jeans, we saw Pic with his gf. It was so hilarious when 5 ladies cried out Pic's name with all the joy in world while his gf stunned beside him. Hahahaha. We spent the rest of the afternoon at GJ until 8ish; we called it a night.

...NOT FOR ME...

I went to Pino again. At first I was enjoying a Paris Hilton mix with Nori Cheesesticks with Mint Pesto and Strawberry Coulis. It was great. Then I saw Trey there! Small world, her friend is PJ's gf! [The following day, I learned that Star and Fab are officemates, haha, cool.] I later joined Star at the bar as the crowd inside was getting thicker. I drank 5 different drinks that night. No, I didn't humiliate myself drunk. I wasn't even tipsy, haha, you know how I am. Later, PJ came in, we was suprised how Star and I bonded like old friends. I love the place, I love the food, I love the drinks. Seems like I have a new place to hang out within the village.
And is it really disturbing that I call Ruben, "Kuya Ruben" and PJ just "PJ" when PJ's older than Ruben? Better get used to it.

My friend and I met up at Dunkin Donuts in Gateway after a very (VERY) long day at work. So we were having our usual how-are-you stories, then came this skinny girl with dark eye shadows. Here's what happened:

(something like this)

HER: Uhm, excuse me... kilala mo ba yung girl na yun? (pointing to another someone outside)

ME: Hmm, I don't think so, why?

HER: Ah okay, kasi alam mo, ayoko yung ginawa mo sa kanya na nagparinig ka kanina kasi nakakainis eh..

ME: Uh... When was this, again?

HER: Kanina, nagpaparinig ka! Pwede ba 'wag mo na uulitin yun?! (walks out, eyes rolling)

ME: Oh.. okay...

FED and I: Ano daw?


We were both surprised when she barged in like that. He actually wanted get off his seat and give that girl a piece of something. Boo-hoo, she's just a waste of time. What she did was like a commercial gap to break the fast paced exchange of stories. Haha. I just laughed. What did I do now? He told me that he thought I was going to answer back or follow her outside. I just said, "Excuse me, hindi ko siya ka-level" APIR! She's the least of my troubles.. heck.. she's not even part of my list.

Hay! What a way to end a crazy day?! Pure insanity...
