Gossip Girl

Posted on May 29, 2008 under Uncategorized | 28 Comments

Four days of trying to be OK.. failed. Poor Vanny. Totally happy outside but freaking lonely inside.

Want a detailed story? Maybe next week. I’m still trying to conceal every pain I’m feeling right now. And just like what Blair Waldorf said when she and Nate Archibald broke up, ..i believe that if you didn’t say it loud, it wouldn’t be true. err. So much of Gossip Girl lines. But see, I am really considering every decision i need to do with that so-called friendship.

Let’s continue. Last friday, the most awaited IT Division Level Up happened. We moved from 6th flr to 7th flr. The first thing that make me happy from this change is I aint gonna sit beside this girl anymore. Oh, I sounded like a cruel officemate? Forgive me.

But I think my job-world wanted to collapse now and same thing with me. I noticed her group is having a group talk at one corner. As soon as they noticed that I am already physically present in this freakin’ office, they scattered and went back to their respective workstations. I am working here for just three months now, so I just thought that they are just talking about a project that I don’t know at all and they just finished discussing about it. Optimist Vanny, huh?

Just a few minutes past, this girl intentionally bump my chair and didn’t say anything to me. I didn’t say anything also. Then I heard her saying “somebody is sabotaging my program. I just wish I can shut down that someone who always shut down my computer!”. I just continue what I am doing and gave no attention to her. I’m still clueless on what’s happening around me.

After that, very close officemate told me that this girl is spreading a gossip that I am the one who always turn off her computer so her program and SQL queries halt. We usually don’t turn off our pc here in office because we are running lots of SQL queries that took 48 years before it finish.

My anger goes up to my head and I really want to approach that girl and justify that I am not that shallow to sabotage her program just because of our misunderstanding last week. But I didn’t. I’m living now the philosophy that “your friends don’t need any explanation and your enemies don’t believe any explanation”. So what’s the use?

And another thing, I am not into arguements. That’s why I always have this line “Ok, ok. I won’t argue..”. So i just do the usual thing when I am mad. Run to the washroom and lock myself there and cry. Yeah yeah, so cry baby me.

Oh, what’s the misunderstanding all about? I traded my chair to hers that so happened my real chair. After she saw what I did, she yelled at me and scream out loud that every people, including programmers from the other division, heard it. Duh, honey it’s just a chair.

And now, I am the bad girl in this office. I don’t care. You believe it, fine. I’m bad. So? What is it with you?! Get a life, creature. As long as my conscience is clean, I don’t give a d*mn. But still, I cried. Ohh. That’s not new. I’m such a super cry baby girl.

I need a break, right? I’ll leave the office after lunch. I want to escape from this place even just for a while. Where will I go? I still don’t know. Wanna come with me? Pretty please? I need a company now. T_T

***Update (7:30PM)
I just got home. Yeah, home. Here in Dapitan. Not in my pad. It’s been one week since the last time I slept in my pad in Makati. I just wanted to feel at home, so I am sleeping here at our home.

How am I doing? I’m hoping that I am doing great! It’s so nice that Ayala Malls are just few steps away from the office. So there it is, I find myself indulging from Häagen-Dazs ice cream. This is my first time! Eating Häagen-Dazs ice cream? Nah. Eating alone. Aww.

I SMSed my friends and ask them if they can come with me, you know just a little mall stroll, window shopping, eat lunch (my treat!). But sadly, no one replied. I called this someone, yet no luck. That mortal is busy. I think this is not my day.

Until.. I checked out one of my fave boutique, People Are People. I saw the jacket that I wanted to buy since last month but they only have large sizes before. So I asked the saleslady if they alrady have a small size of my jacket. And lucky me, they have. Yey yey yey! They also have this new tops. I bought it also. Went out the boutique with a smile. ^_^

One hour, two hours, three hours later. I just noticed myself carrying four paper bags, two boxes and lots of receipts. I bought two jackets, two tops, one pants, one dress and one Billabong flip-flops. And a Barbie inspired trolley school bag for my lovely niece. I carry that all! Adrenaline rush? Lolx. Oh geeze, I told you so, I need a companion. If ever I do have, maybe I didn’t spend that much like i did a while ago. Maybe Glorietta is thankful when I am sad, eh?

I’m about to go home when I walked by an appliance center. I realized I still owe my mom a present for her bday last March (so so late present) and for the Mother’s day. Then after staying there for almost one hour, talked to that saleslady, talked to that salesman. Sign this, sign that.


My mom’s old TV ^_^

With just one swipe, VOILA! My mom’s tv will be replaced tomorrow with Sony’s 37″ BRAVIA Model KLV-37U300A. She wanted to have that since her bday. But i just bought it now. Hope she’ll like it. And hopefully, she won’t faint tomorrow for my surprise if the delivery men knock on our door. Ohh. OA Vanny. =)

As I took a picture of my mom’s old tv, i took a picture of myself, of course. Forgive me, this is my digicam. Lolx. So here it is.


No sign of loneliness, right?

What’s with the green outfit, Vanny? Err. It’s unintentionally, dear. Believe me! Lolx. MissYou gurl! Oh, to my sissy, don’t worry, I did not take off my blazer when I am in the mall. Geeze. So Maria Clara of you sissy! Lolx. =)

Look! I still have a tan line. I think summer really leave a mark in my body huh. And it is fading away already. But hey hey. My summer is still not done. Gonna be in Dasol Bay, Pangasinan this weekend. Nothing’s gonna stop us, even the storm!

Opps. Long post. I’ll be off till Monday. So long my sweetie bloggers. ^_^

Exclamation Point

Posted on May 26, 2008 under Uncategorized | 14 Comments

How are you, ney?

That’s the question I never expected. Yeah, of course when you are sick, how-are-you question is really expected.

But c’mon! I never expect it to come from you. Honestly, half of me is expecting it, but.. Gaah. Let me say it straight. I don’t want you to ask me that question [exclamation point]. I don’t want you to ask how do i feel now [exclamation point times two]. Because I don’t know how will I answer you [exclamation point again].

Are you asking what am i feeling, physically or emotionally? After you being so invisible in my check up? Oh, nah. I’m not mad. Yeah, I understand. That is what I’m supposed to do. Understand everything! Opps. I think I really can’t stop myself from using exclamation point. So feel free to stop the sarcasm, Vanny.

Too bad having a friend like me is too demanding, huh?

So let me say this to you, I am ok.. So can you please don’t bother me? Even just for a day or two. So I will continue being ok. I need a break. I need rest [exclamation point times 3]

And oh, before I forgot.. to the one who mess my very precious Monday, may God bless you.

***
Vanny Vanny Vanny, patience is a virtue. Smile and smile. Then smile again. Frowning can give you wrinkles, dear. So just smile [exclamation point].

Ladybug

How’s me? Still not feeling well! My stomach is really aching! Poor Vanny.

If I don’t eat, my stomach aches. If I ate, my stomach still aches. Freaking stomach, what do you waaaant??

Last night, my pillow get wet because of my tears – my super unending tears. I really can’t bear the stomach pain. I can’t stand up, i can’t sit, i can’t walk, i can’t talk. I just curl up my body and cursing my own stomach. Good thing I’m not alone in my pad. There is someone who set my meal that i didn’t eat and medicines. Thanks guy(s)!

So my Baby Sister made me promise that I will see a doctor the next day (which is today). Yes, yes, yes. I am so hardheaded. Huh. Proud? Lolx. I don’t see a doctor whenever I feel something in my body. Why? Nothing. Just plain hardheadedness. :D

But since I promised to my Baby Sister, we went to Makati Medical Center to see a gastrologist, thinking that I have ulcer. Too bad there’s no available gastrologist by that time. The nurse asked me to go to emergency section to ask another doctor. And then the usual Q&A portion happened. I almost laugh loud when the doctor ask if there’s a possibility that what I feel is connected to pregnancy. I wanted to tell him my i’m-carrying-the-next-saviour line. Lolx. He asked me to give him a urine sample. Then that’s the way to answer my problem.

Anyway, how is it? Uhmm.. Yeah. Doctor James (ayii. first name basis?!) is cute. Nyay. What am I talking?! Toinkz! ^_^

Seriously, the result says I have not-severe UTI. But hey, I drink lot of water everyday. That’s my hobby! :p And I definitely don’t delay my weewee! So what’s the cause? Doctor James said that maybe bacteria infects my urinary tract. Aww.

My Baby Sister teased me that I need to put muriatic acid to my stomach to remove the bacteria. She also said to me before that doctors will cut my stomach in half and see if my intestines is ok, if not maybe they need to unclog my intestines. Tsk tsk.

Back to bacteria, I told her that in that case I need Baygon. She said that Baygon is for insects, will i transform to an insect afterwards? Waaah. So cool-etz my dear! I answered her, as long as I will transform to a ladybug, that’s ok with me. Why ladybug? ’cause I am wearing the color of ladybug just right now, black and red. Hah. Shallow kiddo Vanny. ^^,

Oh. Need to rest. Nytienytie my sweetie bloggers!

***Update


A friend of mine command me to take a proof if I really see a doctor. Because I always tell this concerned creature that I seek a doctor already, even I don’t. Just to escape the sermon for not going to a professional help. Haha. So, Darling here it is. I’m such a good girl as I told you, eh. ^_^

Smell

Posted on May 21, 2008 under Uncategorized | 26 Comments

This is a weird feeling. I vomit everytime I smell food.

Yesterday, the IT group had a small celebration as a bday treat of some Project Managers. Huh? Did I say small? Vanny, you call spaghetti-lasagna-baked mac-fried chicken-bbq-garlic bread-ice cream-fruit salad a small celebration? Hey, even the scent of garlic bread? Hah. \w/

As they are preparing the foods, the smell lingers on my nose and I ran to the washroom immediately. Grrr. Why is that so? I vomit because of the smell of foods? Ewww. So gross. :(

I had my lunch and the woman behind me is eating spaghetti with french fries and i still do the same thing, run to the washroom immediately. *sob*

I went back in office, there’s someone eating instant noodles and I still feel the same.

I smell some burger as I get out in office and I still hurriedly went to washroom.

I went home still feeling sick. My niece ask me to eat dinner with her and spoonfeed her. The aroma of adobo makes me vomit! So I asked her mom to feed her daughter (err. do i act more momma to my niece than her own mom? LoveYou sis! ;p)

After they ate dinner, my deary dear niece asked me to eat M&M’s with peanut and I immediately say NO! Bet you already know why, eh. Err. Another thing, even the smell of pineapple juice and smell of ponkan makes me vomit.

I vomit 8 times yesterday! Poor Vanny. Don’t know what to do. =(

Hey hey hey! I know what you’re thinking huh. You know, the symptoms. Sick, headache, esp vomitting. That P word? No, no, no. I am not.

My friends are teasing me that they will have a new godchild. Oh no, that’s impossible. Unless I’m carrying the next savior. Huh? That’s another impossible. Haha. Besides, I’m still a baby to my momma and I’ll get married only if I already bought her dream house. That’s my promise to her.

Oww. What am i talking here? Errr. Yeah. I bet I’m too sick. I’m being a delirious gal here. Need to knock off my head. Forgive the sick one. ^_^

Need to run to the washroom, I am smelling the coke float of my officemate. Grrr. Hate this feeling! T_T

I’m HOT!

Posted on May 20, 2008 under Uncategorized | 20 Comments

Am I?

Sunday night, as I kissed and hugged my Momma goodnight she said “Bunso, you’re HOT!”.

Monday morning, as I hugged my Baby Sister when I arrived in office she told me “Sissy, you’re HOT!”.

Early lunch, as i hold my Sister K she told me “Sis, you’re HOT!”.

I saw my friend outside the office and had a little chat with her. Before we part our ways she told me “Vanny, you are HOT!”

Snack break, an officemate went in my table and ask me to go with him in cafeteria. And suddenly he told me “Oh, you are so damn HOT!”.

I am about to go home. My Project Manager ask me to stop by in her cubicle because she has something to tell about the system I am developing. Before I say buhbye to her, she told me, “Van, you are HOT!”.

I went home. My niece came to me and hugged me (she always do that when i came home, so sweet). She told me, “Mama Vanny, why are you so HOT?”.

Huh? Am I that HOT that every people around me call me that H word?

Whew! Even my inner me is saying that I am sizzling hottie HOT.

Until my niece gave me water and medicine, then she ask me again, “Mama Vanny, are you sick?” And suddenly I hear myself answering back, “Yes bebeh, I am.” T_T

*sigh*

Yes, I am HOT! Literally.. =(

It’s friday!

And it’s 16!

My friends turned to non-biological-family always celebrate the 16th day of the month. Maybe that’s our own way of celebrating our hard as diamond friendship. So, happy 16th day my sweeties and dearies! See you later alligator! We will float like a butterfly (hi Shobs!) and sting like a bee! harhar. ^_^

Hmmm. Vanny looks sounds like in a happy mood, huh. Why? Oh why?

Maybe because I just ate my breakfast – Garlic bread from Pizza Hut. From someone that is sooooo, err. never mind. ;p Love him it so much! Even I’m not a fan of bread. Hahaha.

Wait.. I’m hearing something.. It says that the temptation resisted is the true measure of character.. Hmmm. I guess that’s the reason why I can’t measure my own character.. Lolx. Hah. Whatever. All I can say is, i really love him the garlic bread. ^_^

Hey hey hey! I’m so happy to say that I will not work tomorrow (Saturday). Yey yey yey! I will definitely taste the pleasure of having weekends now.

Have a safe and happy weekend bloggers!

Burn Out? Not ME!

Posted on May 12, 2008 under Uncategorized | 8 Comments

I was supposed to blog this last Saturday but I didn’t find the time because of raining loads in my work. Lots of things to do first. But now, I am using my break time to blog. haha.

Anyway, last friday night I was asked by my officemates to have dinner. And out of nowhere, the usual dinner thinggy was turned to dinner plus drinking session. We head off our tired body to Giligans Glorietta 2. We are just supposed to eat dinner and right there, my other officemates order their medicine, san mig light. And what did i do? I ordered my energizer, too. Frozen Margarita. ^_^


Baby Sister – Sister Vanny – Cutie Sister ^_^


Do we look tired?


Camera whores. Haha.


After our not-so-well-planned night out, I take home (haha. what a word) Baby Sister and Cutie Sister. And then we lay down our gorgeous tired body in my flowery bed and rest a-la Sleeping Beauty. ^_^

Then first thing in the morning (Saturday), we jump out in the bed and then to swimming pool. Oh, love the cold water lingering our body in one hotta hot not-so-late summer day!


with my twin since 1st year college


with my baby sister


kiddo sisters ^^,


Too bad after 2 hours swimming, we need to rush because we need to go to office and work like a machine. Oh my, working in Saturday?! Urrgh. so hate it!


with my two sisters and my deary snoopy

At least, we still know the best way to unwind, huh? Sooner or later, works in Saturday will no longer exist in my schedule. I wish. Haha. So long bloggers! Need to do my job so that my wish will come true. ^_^

More pictures in my multiply –> clickie click!

Law of Love

Posted on May 08, 2008 under Uncategorized | 6 Comments

The Law of science: “Nothing is displaced unless it is replaced.” Translated into the Law of Love: “You’ll fall out of love only if you fall for someone else.”

You really believe this?

Pssh. Vanny, are you talking to the readers or are you talking to yourself?

I don’t know. Oh well, well, well. Maybe kinda true. But sometimes I tend to enjoy the company of the Past rather than the Present. How come present can’t overpower my attention like the Past can do? Too bad Past can’t be the Present. And Present can’t be the Past. It’s so obvious that I want to switch their timeline, huh?

Stop!!!

Need to concentrate in my work now. So long bloggers! ^_^

Bfast + Snoopy + Dino + Lazy Vanny

Posted on May 05, 2008 under Uncategorized | 11 Comments


For God’s sake Vanny, eat proper meal at proper time!

Aww. I miss this line sooo much! Haha.

Hmm. I just wonder what would be your line if you know that only those crackers in picture (free advertisement, huh?) load up my stomach.

Err. So sorry. So lazy to eat. Bad Me. Care to spoon-feed me? Kiddin’. But seriously, I’m too lazy to chew. Guess I’m having the ultimate level of laziness. =)


I thought I meet appetite again. But looks like my stomach is way too much stubborn than my thoughts. But at least I ate Egg Arroz Caldo in our bfast later in this morning huh?

Oh well, hey you! I miss you so much! And thanks for Hearty Snoopy! You really love me, huh? You made me miss our old office routine there in your office.

*Opps. Take note of the highlight in “your office”. Lolx.^_^

I put snoopy in the right part of my monitor. But hey! Did you guys notice my monitor? I mean, the window opened in my monitor? Web Service! Grrr. C#, C#, C#. When are you going to give back my freedom?

And thanks also for Snoopy Keychain! Snoopy is so cutie cutie! So sweetie sweet sweet! Love it!

Hey hey. I didn’t mean to take a picture of my green nail polish. But it came out at the best angle huh. Green, oh green. Haha. Sorry dear. ^_^


I’m back here in my real office. Got lots of sql queries in database to run, lots of errors to fix, lots of changes in user interface and most of all, lots of thoughts to blog. Haha. But I am too lazy to do all of those lots.

I am lazily bored! So i IM my officemate in the other cubicle (thanks to IMing, I instantly have a chitchat partner for the day) and screamed to him how much I wanna go home. Yet I need to stay here in office for those lots need to finish. He went here in my table and tell me to take a break. And just try to play. To let go of the stress. He gave let me borrow this dinosaur.

Is there any Barbie Doll? Haha. In fairness, Dino Flinstones is cutie and pinky, huh. ^_^

Error-Handler

Posted on May 01, 2008 under Uncategorized | 9 Comments

..i bet paranoia is not a very attractive quality of a woman.
-Lex Luthor

Hello, Ms. P! ^_^

Too bad you are related to a computer programmer that looks like an On-Error-Resume-Next* Pro.

In layman’s term, you are related to an alibi-maker Pro. Tsk tsk. You really don’t know (or maybe you knew it already but still trying to deny to yourself) what is the real error. Gratitude for the error-handling technique, huh? Lolx.

But as a programmer, I bet On-Error-Resume-Next technique is a bad idea. Because you kept on ignoring the error and the flaw is not being solve. Unless you use Try-Catch* way of error-handling because I think that’s the best way.. For all of us.

*On-Error-Resume-Next
Means to ignore the error and keep going to execute next line of codes.

*Try-Catch
Means to stop the execution of the program if an error exist.

Hey! Does my work really eating me up that’s why even in my blog entry there’s a work-related terms? Imagine working in a Labor Day? Whey! I need my freedom back! Lolx. ^_^
