Mental Constipation II

this is not a blank blog entry.

okay, so i told everybody that i am not going to update my blog and i broke that promise… sobrang wala lang kasi akong magawa…

i am still mentally constipated. my hamlet-nesque attitude pervading again with one of the decisions i have to make in my life. to pass or not to pass the story in an effort to earn cash… that’s the question. i badly need cash for the expenses of my family and the fare i have to spend in getting to work. arrgh… i just don’t think that my style of writing is something that could be published… it’s the type that you would want to burn or bury forever until eventually a version of a neanderthal in the future (it’s possible, i tell you) finds it and gobbles it up, thinking that it was food. he re-discovers after that he has experienced diarrhea…

arggh… what to do, what to do…

i wonder how shakespeare felt when no words came up to his little attic upstairs?

Nostalgia galore

i think that it has been too long since i have been working in this company, but it’s only been almost one month since me and my co-workers have been accepted as a probationary worker (uh? does labor have to be forced?). so far, i have  adjusted to the yet monotonous office life, but i try to brighten things up for myself (and accidentally including others as well) by finding loopholes in this silly thing called life.

sigh.

i don’t think i have enough rest. travelling hours from manila to cavite is enough to make me experience fatigue to the highest level. but i have to say that my most favorite part of the day has to be the part when i’m going home. it’s the time when i get to peek into the lives of other people in the fx or bus i’m boarding in. the people look so lost and tired. i look lost, tired and harrassed. that’s how bad it is during the end of the day.

i try to find things that will make me laugh, or at least smile. there’s the perpetual YES FM, HOME RADIO and MELLOW TOUCH musicFrench_kids which make my  brains rot like heck. i admit that i make fun of people (at least in thoughts going on in my mind) who sing to the tune of Asin and Hagibis (that was last Saturday. boy, was it a blast. i am glad to know that at least there ARE older people that i am,hehe) or to the tune of april boy’s "muling ibalik" or any of his songs played on the radio. and there are also songs which make me feel quite nostalgic; it gives me the feeling that i want to go back to the days when i was a child again. the songs from the 80’s make me feel that way (’starlight express,’ anyone?). Songs like ‘the greatest love of all’ (by whitney houston) and "from a distance" (uh… was it by bette midler?) makes me remember my toddler days, when we used to sing it in prep school graduation, with matching actions filled with emotions.

heckheckheckheckheckheck.

arrgh. i am digressing again. i only found recently that beyond my happy and carefree attitude lies a lost and lonely individual. i am a person who eternally sings "lonely day" (by phantom planet) and rejoice that it’s another lonely day. being lonely has been a part of my life. i know that it is a part of your life too.

i have decided not to quit my job - YET. i figured out that i need to earn some dough if i want to help my family.

sigh. sorry for pouring things out in this stupid blog. i just miss college. i miss writing to my diary. i don’t even have time to sit down and contemplate anymore.

another one of those stupid, lingering thoughts

Tree sheesh…

it’s already the 1st week of october and i still do not know what to do with my life. i went to inquire about school fees yesterday (malamang, sa isang school) because of a plan i want to pursue… all of a sudden, i have a big feeling that my plan will backfire. i dunno if it’s good or bad. damn it, it’s another one of those "damn it if you do, damn it if you don’t" situations. arrgh.

yesterday, my aunt and i had a small talk about the problems going on in the house, and as usual, it’s about money again. why do we always have to worry about money?? yeah, i guess money does make the world go round in a way but it stops to the point that we need money because we have to buy stuff we need to put up with survival and with a little bit of indulgence and luxury sometimes, i guess. beyond that, i don’t see the point of letting money ruling one’s world.

arrgh. trabaho na naman po…. sheesh.
