all saints day that was.

finally went out. i needed bottled water and some munchies so off to target. i prefer target over walmart for the reason that former has less patrons and spacious stores. although walmart is way cheaper. in the store i grabbed these.

i can’t resist. i have this thing with action figures and construction. it’s a character in a game and i’m thinking of buying the whole thing. of course i got my essentials, meaning 4 cartons of tropicana juice. i am so in love with tropicana! the only juice i drink here. was thinking between dr. pepper and tropicana and remembered my trainor, the juice then. off to pick some more items. but i had to, i have to get the dove dark chocolate promises. it’s like fortune cookie in smooth, silky chocolate form! grabbed dinner at a mexican place, a burito plate and went straight home.

immediately, i put together my new toys. it took me 3 minutes to piece the first one. i’m not big on following instructions but i have to. too many pieces to put together. skrall looked like this.

skrall!

angry, mean with a long sword. no pun intended. mata nui is more complex to put together. he’s like the the warrior in yellow. if you ask me, he’s a little gay. hehehe. no straight man, warrior or not, can pull that shade of yellow if you ask me. ;-)

after all of that “construction”, i unpacked my grocery bag. now my kitchen pantry looks like this. i bought 2 packs of energy bar. since most of the food here is high calorie, i figured to stuff protein bars.

my president

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

 

the only person i will acknowledge as my president. you can argue with figures, poverty line, growth, etc. but the fact is, her presidency is not about those. it’s restoring social order, it’s about giving you back your freedom, your democracy.

i respect her as a leader, even without the title of president of the philippines. i admire her selflessness, her undying passion to do what is right even how contentious it is. she followed what she believes is right and just. they say that presidents should do what is right, but she followed what is in her heart and conscience. she may not have made the best decisions, alleviate us from poverty but she led us out of the hands of a tyrant. selflessly gave up power. silently and vigilantly watch over our best interest.

i hope you get better. in these days were morality, intentions and heart are in question, we need you more than ever. show us once again how to lead.

i’m in a rut. for the last 4 years. seriously. but the thing is i’m ok with it. i might complain about it from time to time but looking at it now, i’m perfectly fine with it. i’m having fun which is the bottom line in this exercise we call life. now that’s being sarcastic.

pardon me if i choose not to elaborate. i’m in an awkward place simply put. some things can be easily decided; socks, nail polish, upsized meals and holding out the tomato. some things are better left in the dark, like pandora’s box. there are times that the right thing to do is no the best thing to do. he makes me happy, i know that much. my mind and common sense is telling that i will hurt in the end. in all likelihood i would end up bawling given how sensitive i’ve become listening to you and i both (waiting for my rocket – jason mraz). a friend is right, i have the flare for drama in my life. don’t ask my heart, it doesn’t listen to reason nor respond to common sense. it chooses to follow it’s own rhythm, it beats only to have its own voice. it heeds no opinion. often people say that life is cruel and unfair. i don’t believe in that, i believe that life throws you a curve ball because it throws you a curve ball. why blame some thing that can never defend itself? a tempting escape goat but not for me. this is my doing, this is entirely me.

for what it’s worth, i’m happy-for now. so life can suck it.

p.s. i know you read my blog, and hopefully you haven’t figured out you’re you. but if you do, i hope you wouldn’t change. what we have is perfect that i choose to keep my silence between us.

bitter ocampo in the house

Friday, March 27th, 2009

after catching the re-run of american idol, which allison by the way killed it with a rocking vocal, i decided to move on and let go of my phone. nothing i could do could undo my carelessness. the only difference is that i don’t blame anyone, just me and my belief that all people are honest and innately good. hello naive person.

good thing i availed my retention plan with smart, i got the verzio duplii with the awkward keypad. it was stuck in my room for almost 2 months with no use other than a glorified watch and pseudo-flashlight. it looks ok, but i really don’t like the keypad. i was thinking of giving it to my niece who’s graduating this april from college, but i guess i’ll be using it for a while until i can afford to buy a vertu. or not. i’m just pissed on how stupid of me loosing something like a third arm. it’s one thing being held up as oppose to loosing your phone for no apparent reason than changing into a business jacket to be decent enough for a client presentation. i had little sleep; i reported to the office earlier than usual, 7.30am early, just to finish piles of work. i have to do a workshop in one room while attending a meeting in the next room. right after a presentation meeting followed by a debriefing and more initiatives. i need a portable coffee spinal tap to make it through the day. enough bitter ocampo, it’s a friday and tomorrow would be a happy, rocking day! further announcement later.

on a different note, please remember to turn off your lights tomorrow, 2009.03.28 from 8.30pm – 9.30pm in observance of earth hours. our company partnered with earth hours and is observing it through all its offices around the world. i think it’s way better than just giving money and resources, getting down right dirty and making things happen. register and be counted.
