14th Day of Christmas

like i've mentioned in my previous post, i love the holidays season. it's only the 14th day of december and i've already received some gifts. pretty awesome. feeling grateful. i've received a running jacket from my boyfriend (you won't see this, but thanks love), a cake pop mix from a co-worker, a restaurant gift card (also from a co-worker), and lastly, a winnie-the-pooh ornament (that i had to give away to my friend, because i don't have a christmas tree. lol.) that i received from an ornament exchange christmas party at work. 

i have also given a few gifts to some people--even better. for my boyfriend, i also gave him a running jacket (trade lang. hehe.). for the co-worker who gave me a cake pop mix, i gave her a scarf and a picture frame. for the co-worker who gave me a gift card, i will be giving her fancy tea. yes. fancy tea. for the ornament exchange, i gave away a polar bear ornament. different, but still festive. 

for guru camille (for those of you who know her), i asked her bf what i should get her for christmas and he said a mortal kombat ps3 game. lol. ok. so that's what i got her, but i haven't wrapped it. 

we also have a secret santa thing at work. for those, i always hope i pick someone cool and today, i did. very excited to start buying this person a gift. 

almost done christmas shopping. yay! 

1st Day of Christmas

it's a saturday and i actually woke up early and did something productive. it's a good way to start december. i love the holidays season. it's cold and rainy. everybody's busy thinking about all the people they care about and what to get them for the 25th. i just love the feeling. i like giving gifts to people. it really does give a better feeling than receiving. 

note to self to remember: Gello, a former blogger, inspired me to work on my rubik's cube again. so i did and i am finally able to beat my 2-week record with an 11-minute one. cha ching! lol! 

Thanksgiving 2012

it's one of those days..bored to death.

don't get me wrong. i have tons of stuff to do and things to take care of, but instead i'm procrastinating. it's nothing new and i do it all the time. who am i kidding--i'm being very lazy because i don't feel motivated. i feel unmoved. i feel like blah. i don't feel sad. i don't feel happy. i don't know how i'm feeling.

i'm on a week break from work for the thanksgiving holiday. i've been spending my time doing things that are not on my priority list--for instance watching t.v., sleeping in, wasting time, etc. pretty much avoiding the thing that i need to do the most while i have all this free time. today, i slept in, watched t.v., somewhat cleaned up my closet, and watched the movie "you've got mail" for the nth time. it never fails to cheer me up and make me feel good inside..temporarily.

now that i actually feel like i'm stepping into the world of adulthood, there's a feeling of uncertainty. i don't know if i'm fit for this lifestyle--if i can endure all the trials. i don't know if i can prove to myself and everyone else that i am worthy to become an official member of this society. i feel that i've accomplished the things that i wanted to accomplish, but at the same time, i don't feel like it's sufficient. i'm just tired of having to prove myself all the time. i must be going through something right now. i just don't know what.

Social Networking

WARNING: i can safely say that i am on HATER MODE right now as i am typing this. 

Social Networking. what's it really for? well, that's an easy question to answer.

to catch up with old friends. to reunite with long lost loved ones. 

no.

it's to share with everybody what you ate today, your tacky bathroom picture, how happy you are because everything in your life is so great, or better yet, the reason why everyone should empathize with you because the world hates you. 

or maybe..

just to show off everything about you. new bags, shoes, nail polish, new gadgets, new problems, even your new body! 

i'm not saying i'm not guilty of doing some of the things above, because i'm sure most of us are guilty on this one. i suppose people are free to do whatever they want. we create our profiles and tweak it to our liking. we can say whatever we want to say. post whatever we want to post. so what's the problem?

i don't know, but i guess when i see too much of it on profiles of certain people, i get the sense that that's who they really are and they have no problem sharing with the world. 

i've created categories for these different types of personalities:

the show-off: they bought something new and cool so they'll share it to the entire world wide web because they're very excited about it. 

the emo: most of the posts are about being broken-hearted. you're not carrying the world's problem. chill pill. 

i like to rant: it seems these are the type who can't ever be pleased with anything. they're always complaining about the pettiest things! most of the things they rant about are first world problems (if you don't know what i mean by "first world problems", look it up).

everyday update: they've literally turned their profile pages into a daily diary. ok fine. 

vain: unless you have a really stinkin' hot body, or have a really godly-lookin' face, then you're excused. if not, then stop the duck face, the eyebrow lift, and the "i'm sexy and i know it" poses that you do when YOU take a  PICTURE of YOURSELF (i have more to rant about this, but i'll stop here, before i say something i'll regret). 

lurker/stalker: self-explanatory. either stalking the love of their life or their enemy.

if in moderation, they wouldn't be annoying. however, most are excessive and really get on my nerves (or they just become hilarious). i feel that they're shallow, but who am i to say, right? i guess i'll just try to understand where they're coming from. 

i can probably fall in the "i like to rant" category. like now, i am ranting about the things that annoy me about people on social networking sites. i can also be in the "lurker/stalker" category. teehee. 

anyway, i don't mean to offend anyone. 

well, if you are offended then you're guilty and that's okay too. 

which category would you fall in? be honest to yourself now. 

What Summer Break?

there's no such thing anymore--even my weekends are booked. i teach in the morning from monday through friday, then i work at the video store thursday nights and on the weekends. as much as i'd like to go on a mini-vacation and go out of state, it seems unlikely to happen at the moment especially with the new teaching job that i landed on. i suppose i'll just take this great opportunity to save up for the rainy days. 

while my work situation is in a good pace right now, the situation at home could be better. it's too crowded in the house. there's too much noise. therefore resulting to having less privacy. 

i don't like expressing displeasure, but at this point i need to, and this blog is the perfect spot to do so. i wanted to post something more meaningful or something with better content, but it's not happening right now.

i am very thankful for the jobs, though. don't get me wrong. 

enjoy your week, everybody!
