gift from Globe

i'm hating openOffice and Microsoft Excel simultaneously today. the former crashed while i was making an important edit...the latter needs a license. boo.

while trying to decide which worksheet to waste time on, a surprise message from Globe came:

Globe Advisory:
Nakikiisa ang Globe Bangon Pinoy sa lahat ng biktima ng Ondoy at Pepeng.
Munting handog, libreng load pantawag at text.

it was so weird, i read it out loud to my entire team. 5 minutes later, i received 100Php load! woah!!!!! as someone who rarely can call/text due to lack of funds, this is a REAL treat.


thank you Globe. mwaaahh

disclaimer:  i cannot seem to get myself together.  i've been away from home for almost a week and my head is still in safe mode or something.  my thoughts are just completely out of whack and it may take a while before i reboot.  so please bear with all the unnecessary bullshit, grammatical errors and insane language. a lot of friends have been asking me how things are over here.  well...contrary to what people say (and by 'people', i meant my agency), its not as easy as they make it out to be. but i am getting ahead of myself. first things first. before i arrived in auckland, i had to endure a long and bitter flight from manila.  since there is no such thing as a direct flight, my itinerary said that i have a 4-hour layover in Singapore.  this is fine.  my ticket also included meals and 40kg worth of check-in luggage.  i carried a backpack and a sling bag for my carry-on with the latter starting to (horribly) disintegrate a...

week 3: independence ba kamo?

this is by far the most interesting week, though in a way, the most depressing one as well.  but where to start?  hmm.  well, i finally found the courage to actually walk-in and ask for a part-time job.  and knowing what a geek i am, where do i do that exactly?  at the city library of course.  haha.  how fucking crazy is that?  anyway, i wanted to go to that art film thing and since it's just next to the library, it was a 2 birds and 1 stone scenario. the library people just basically told me to fuck off which wasn't cool haha.  so i went to the cinema hoping it gets better.  when i got there, there was no one around.  i walked around a bit.  went back and the place was still deserted.  then i saw a doorbell thing and it says "academy cinema" or something to that effect.  so i rang it.  some rude guy picked up and basically told me to wait until 6pm and to fuck off.  what the hell is up with the univer...
