a day in the life of an ordinary tax payer.

just my luck. my LAN cable isn't working. not sure if it's the LAN cable or the port or whatever. but it's not working...no net connection...again. fuck.

10:03 AM
heavy breakfast with rambutan. not bad. got an email from my senior analyst, she said i did a great job with the document. but there are some revisions. hmmm...hopefully minor ones.

10:20 AM
ok now the internet is working. yey. but i cant blog anymore or browse since everybody is here already. it's too damn obvious.

11:05 AM
wow time moves soooo slow............

11:30 AM
somehow, as of this moment, i fully appreciated the purpose of a conference room. a few steps from my cube, there are about 5 guys arguing their ass off over who forgot what or who did what wrong. it was awkward since the entire right wing of the floor can fucking hear them blame each other. it was also a bit scary because they have serious teamwork issues and if that's how it works here, then i'll be in big trouble in the long run.

1:23 PM
nice enough lunch. now logged in twitter. i hope nobody would care.

1:37 PM
i'm expecting my senior analyst to stop by my cube in a bit. dont know if i want to start with any task yet. it will break my momentum.

2:01 PM
OK...now i miss my old space. bright lights hurt my eyes.

3:42 PM
i think i should start writing my letters.

5:02 PM
the level of detail is excruciating.

5:23 PM
OK must go now. i have to catch the ENT. this whole ear thing is starting get annoying. i can hear my stomach grumbling. tsk. will treat myself to some bacondog later. all-in-all, not a bad day.

shit just got real

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...
