We work when we HAVE to...so we can party when we WANT to :)

While I haven't been partying much....I have been working alot lately. I have managed to get more work but....I'm thinking of slowing down as it has been a tough week for me.I managed to view another place...well didn't exactly view it because silly real estate people were not there.I got to the place and took a snap. Not a very big place...and since property managers are involved.I think it would be a costly affair.

It looks like some kind of hostel.I wasn't able to go in and so I called the number on the listing and they said there wouldn't be any viewing until next week.Sorely disappointed,I decided to walk back to the bus stop....the neighborhood looked like a pleasant place to live. The shop owner down the corner from the bus stop was an Indian man and he was quite friendly. Stood there watching the KFC across the road.I wasn't hungry and had to make my way back to work.I have been doing the hard hours at work and I should be well rewarded next week. I am not looking to go out partying but I think I may go out for a drink or two :P

I haven't had much of a social life but I have been meeting new people....at the bus stop lol...my cousin calls it "bus stop syndrome" she has seen my contagious over-friendliness with strangers at the bus stop so....she may be right.I think I shouldn't talk to strangers at the bus stop but I just get the urge to say hello....everyone that I talk to usually respond and I have met a few interesting people this way. Today people are so caughtup in their personal music players and phones that they don't take the time to stop and say hello.I make it my business to know your business lol....I guess you can say that I am nosy....so perhaps I need to tone it down a little.I am pretty happy though,being single has really worked out well for me.I am able to enjoy being so random and not having to worry about anyone but myself and focus on what is truly important to me.I had heard the phrase "thanks,you've made my day" 3 times already this week and I think there is much more to come :)

I can safely say...all in a days work :)

Finding my place....

I went to see a place yesterday in an area called "Hataitai" I'm still uncertain how to say that...I wasn't expecting anything with 5 stars since the advertised rent was cheap...I was right not to expect that. Upon arrival at Arcus way...where it was NOT a road but indeed was a "way" made up of gravel and some areas were paved but mostly looked like a place out in the countryside.I got there to see a blue and white old colonial designed home.Met "O" the contact person for the advertised room. She seemed friendly, showed me around..the room was not too large,had one window and was facing towards the East so I'd get the lovely sunlight that I need to keep me smiling all day :) The bathroom was old and looked like something out of the movie "Vacancy" I mean it was okay...just that it did not appeal to me in anyway. She showed me the backyard..this was the highlight of the place. A large green lawn with a park bench and big trees providing some cool shade...this was more appealing than the bathroom lol....If I could,I'd probably prefer to live in the yard :P

All in all,I liked the place.For a decent amount of money,I could live closer to work but I don't think it would be walkable, if ever I attempt it,it would probably take me a while to get to work...so I have had to weigh that out and they asked me to leave my name and number with them...so they can get back to me.I think the previous dude who lived there must have had some sort of falling out with the other two flatmates or something like that...this wasn't a problem for me...but I had to think whether it could be later on down the line.I get along with most people though,mostly the younger people because I can relate to alot of people who are growing up.My own experiences have taught me valuable lessons in life and if I can help someone learn a thing or two that may help them...I will gladly do so!:)

I've had much time to think things through and my current accommodation will hold up until I can find a decent place closer to work.I try not to stress too much about it because stress can be paralyzing to a certain extent.I live my days one day at a time and that is how I can keep smiling :)

A new horizon, a new life, an old goal :)

It's the beginning of another new year.....and this new year was my first year away from home, also the most uneventful one I have ever had...I spent the last minutes of the last year telling my girl-- friend how I feel about her...and the first minutes hearing how she felt about me....and discussing my crazy project knawon! I had decided to do something silly for 1 whole year....it is totally crazy, I have done this before....http://imawip.blogspot.com/2007/08/temptation-to-quit-will-be-greatest.html. That was a tough time for me...I'm killing a desire, I just hope I don't kill myself in the process....many of my friends here are saying that it is impossible...I am not sure if anyone has ever done this...but I'm sure I'm not the first person to ever attempt such insanity,or am I?? if you're wondering what the hell I'm going on about then.....just ask me..lol

Of cos project knawon seems totally pointless but, its my baby :) I have a counter in the corner to keep tract of my progress throughout this year...which I believe would be my craziest year ever! :) I'm in a world of new opportunities, I'm in a position to start a new life, but I still have the same goal...to be better! I am indeed a work in progress and I don't think that will ever change, there are still so many things I want to change and yet many more things that I have come to accept about myself. I have been blogging about my boring self for almost 2 years! I can be a very committed person if I believe in a cause....a reason for doing something....but what has been motivating me lately....has been very shallow reasons, that is probably why my life feels so boring and sad but I want to change all that....make things better, BE BETTER! :)

yEs that is a new banner....ahem, it is a bit lame but....I'll change it when I find more time to go photoshopping :P I don't feel any different from how I was last year but I definitely feel like my year hasn't been a totally waste, but I believe I could have been better......I miss my friends so much....I feel like I will eventually lose my old friends and find new ones....it is almost like the way of things.....the circle of life that is mentioned in The Lion King...I always feel the same sad, nostalgic feeling I get when I watch the scene in that movie..I can still see Mufasa saying "You must take your place in the circle of life.Remember who you are..." I had such a great 2008! It has been one of the best years of my existence....I look forward to a great 2009.....

Thanks to all my readers, I wish you all the best for 2009! 

My spanish word for today is: cambio

Magento!

The good people at the place I applied for my internship decided that they would dangle that carrot over me a little longer.....I have a second task to work on, I have to customize and test their magento script. I am not gonna make the site public just yet for fear of my behind being hung on the line when someone hacks the site....things with my girl have cooled off for now,all dat heat needs some downtime...haha...we need to come back down to earth.....well our breakup story is the craziest...wildest and also the funniest ever! "crack up" lol mmmm....this girl is so intoxicating! shes on my mind 24/7.....but yeah,I can be very focussed when I need to be, when I really want to be......I've been busy babysitting and working from home, I am loging in and modifying product catalogs and development API's before I actually test it as "john john" lol..my shopping cart works...but I'm having issues setting up a products page.

I wanted to talk to my Panda today but....it seems that she was busy.....I am dedicating this post to a very special person...it was the 18th yesterday and NO I haven't forgotten about you Sily! :) You're still a very special person to me......I'm sorry if I made it seem like what we had meant nothing....you still mean alot to me, but this is means sooo much more to me and no I'm not obsessed over this girl...it is the total opposite! :) I am anything but obsessed....I am in love with her but,she is not my obsession right now...my obsession is me...working on myself so I can be a decent guy for her......and it seems so much harder now...but hey!! I try :)

Here's to you Sily baby! I miss you and I'm not afraid to say that! :) hope things work out with your guy! BIG HUG! X

No spanish for me today.....am too tired...laterz.
