I have a friend who is a globetrotter. Well, he’s family’s rich so he could afford to go to places while not having a job at the same time. Some people are just born lucky.
You might think that I’m just being envious. Who wouldn’t? But he’s my friend and I’m happy that he gets to visit destinations such as New York, Parish, Shanghai, and more. What bothers me is that each time he went to a place, he would take like a hundred photos of himself and create a Friendster account just for that place.
A new Friendster account just for one place!
Can you imagine that? He’s got a Friendster account for his Hong Kong visit. He’s got a Friendster account for his Boracay visit. He’s got a Friendster account for almost every shit hole he’s been.
I kept rejecting his Friendster invites on each of these new accounts but he kept on inviting me. When he asked me why I kept rejecting, I told him the truth. That I find it quite annoying that he’s got all these Friendster accounts when he could have just create an album for each of his travels on ONE Friendster account.
But he didn’t listen. Just now he sent me another invite. I forgot what place it is this time. I just politely rejected it.
For the record, he’s still my Friend. I just hate this Friendster habit of his.
Have you ever been fired? Retrenched? Forced to leave from your job?
My girlfriend is going through hell right now. Some of her co-workers from different departments have been retrenched and there’s a rumor circulating in their office that more will follow. I’ve told her to start submitting her resume to other companies just to be on the safe side. It’s nice to know you have other prospects in case the retrenchment continues.
What is more depressing is that she just found out that her manager is planning to jump ship. So the ship is sinking and one of the deck officers is jumping into the waters ahead of his subordinates and the passengers. Now that’s a sure sign that everything is not well.
The following I got from SoggySponge since she tagged for it. I have done anything like this for a long, long time. It still proves fun.
(A) Four places I go over and over:
1. Office - to play…er, no… to work 2. Cainta - coz that’s where my gf lives 3. Ministop in our building - for the times when I need something quick and filling 4. Robinsons Galleria – not my fave mall, just very convenient for me and my gf
(B) Four people who email me regularly:
1. My gf - not sweet nothings. More like for requests and favors. 2. that’s it. Sad isn’t it that I don’t get emails from friends.
(C) Four of my favorite places to eat:
1. Sbarro. - because of their huge pizza 2. Chef d’Angelo. - because of their Baked Zitti 3. SM foodcourt - when I want more variety 4. KFC - because of their finger-lickin’ Original Recipe fried chicken
(D) Four places I’d rather be:
1. Sagada - may favorite place of them all 2. Mt. Everest - I can’t climb it. I just would love to see it 3. Batanes - I’ve seen photos of the place when I was a kid and I can’t stop thinking about it 4. Playboy Mansion - need I say more?
(E) Four people I think will respond:
1. None
(F) Four TV shows I could watch over and over:
1. House - Hugh Laurie is simply adorable 2. Friends - my all-time fave comedy sitcom 3. The Simpsons - Homer is a genius! er…he burps great! 4. Seinfeld - not that there’s anything wrong with that
I’m not really a fan of sushis. But I am a fan of this addicting flash game called Sushi Go Round. The gameplay is very simple. You just have to memorize the ingredients of each type of sushi so you can prepare them whenever a customers orders it.
I don’t like coffee. I never really liked its taste, but I do love the smell of it. So when I need to stay up late into the night to finish some stuff, I always turn to energy drinks to help supply me with the necessary caffeine.
I’ve always preferred Extra Joss because of its taste. I like Red Bull too but it’s more expensive compared to the sachet packaging of Extra Joss.
The other day, I asked my mom to buy me a sachet. She gave me quite a lengthy lecture about getting overdosed with caffeine (Extra Joss has 50 mg of it. Regular coffee usually has more.), that ginseng shouldn’t be taken on a daily basis, and a dozen other things. Imagine my surprise when she returned home with, not one sachet, but 2 boxes of Extra Joss!

How often have you used the Yellow Pages recently? As for me, I can’t even remember the last time I used it. I’m guessing 7 years ago?
