the e n d . .

exactly 45 minutes to the end of the day. sunday. the holidays.
><
when was the last time i've had a long break from woek like this?
i cannot recall, and perhaps that is why this is too much to bear.
the thought of actually having to wake up again, at 6+ in the morning, to get back to the daily grind, of always attempting to not be late at work, to always cookup the self motivation shit to get to and stay at work ...
i guess this is what an extremely long break does to moi here.. maybe not entirely to be blamed, but still, im sure it adds to it ..
excuses, excuses, yes i am guilty

this is just another rant.
one that is absolutely necessary at this moment, in grieving for the end of the holidays.
in (another) true self-articulation attempt: Let's just look reaaal for-ward to the 16th of the month, where we will all be entitled to a longer weekend, a respite from the continuous work weeks ahead, and most significantly, a shorter woek-week to bear with.


***
oh, and p/s: this is totally unrelated to the gloominess above, but i do hereby promise myself (which i feel is absolutely necessary and about time) to spruce up the blog. seriously, all i need is some more inspiration from around me . . . what's that? do i hear a "good luck" there? fingers crossed then . . .

a n t i c i p a t i o n

what's happening? what's all these?
i've not blogged as frequently i'd realized
no answer to the question why
i've scratched my head, where not given a choice, and at the risk of being pooh-poohed, i'd blame it on the iphone. . .

you see, i've had plenty of 'quick fixes' these days with the iphone on an unlimited internet plan.
it is a very nifty gadget i'd come to see.. at the touch of a finger truly. heck, to boot my now well-aged dell would mean taking the equal amount of time to already finish browsing the apple..
not exactly exaggerating, coz really, all my destination-sites are well placed strategically on the phone with one-touch shortcuts. this leaves very little room for creativity.. for browsing, for accidental come-acrosses, and thus, very little inspiration, albeit only to gibber away...

but tonight, i . c a n ' t . s l e e p.
maybe it's due to the fact that i woke only at 3+ after-noon...
maybe it's bcoz with the stalls closed downstairs, it's too quiet for a change?
too quiet to the extent that i find the compressor's excessive whirring a tad toooo excessive?

this is after all, just a gibberish one. i'd completely missed the joy of just sitting down here at my desk and browse the world over... with the cords stuck to the ears... and cap the night with my own two cents' ...

i'm trying to end this post right now, but i dont know how to do it tactfully (clock's ticking, i Need to go to bed!) ... perhaps it's the silence of it all - of it all except what's inside my head -
everythings a lil bit erratic here...
so, i guess it's just gonna be a Good Night (or morning?).

"kasi bersih!"

and so now, the rally's been done and dusted...
not really a fan of the local political scene, but all these yellow themes and street videos popping up on my fb is pretty much darn annoying i'd have to say.
to the extent that bart simpson and spongebob too, has not been spared. . . =S

back in not too long ago, i posted a blog about how our youths don't really 'go for' things like rallies and demonstrations.. they called them lame then.
today, just not too many years from then, things have changed so dramatically.

my take on all these? what "the star says" on today's papers sums it up the best i think.
personally, i still do not prefer our nation to have these kinda turmoils. not exactly disastrous, the turnouts.. but still, the affected parties getting their desired publicities aside, what would this piece of news portray upon the rest of the communities in the world of our country?

when we read, or worse, hear of news of unrest in other countries, we think political + economic unstability. the reasons, causes.. roots and solutions only come later.
is anyone going to monitor whether those so called international news portals got their protest causes and objectives right?
can we be sure that other nations arent taking it wrong, or worse, jumps the gun and paint our country wrong?

viewing the videos of the marches and walks held at the same time in other countries.. UK, Taipei, Melbourne, Hong Kong, you name it...
it just baffles me .. the fb community keeps lambasting why there are only water cannons here. well, duh? it's for obvious reasons no?
they call them walks over there, it's called a "city lockdown" here. it's no peaceful march here, it's order-defying rallies.
the fb community jumps in the bandwagon and brandishes everything yellow they can think of.. well, praise them for their creativity, but first, are they even registered as voters? have they casted their first vote at all?
not crying pooh-pooh of their opinions on the social networks, these are just my own bafflements...

then again, as my own fb profile shows "i don't give a .." under my political views, just who am i to judge others yeah ? ? ?

june is here..

yes, june has happened. it is here.

finally, to my delight...

but the rain is not happenin' often enuf..

so the a/c will no longer be an option. but a must.

and so i've discovered a new album tonight.. Buy 1 Get 1 Free .. by hanjin + mc jin

no less courtesy of loon from the office. great.

all songs are great.. plus(+) a track10 which is absolutely uplifting..

happiness is free ♪ if you want it to be ♪ as it claimed

altho the song is still playin on repeat mode as im typin now,

i still beg to differ tho, cant help to not agree on that (albeit) catchy phrase..

oh well, it's a nice tune all the same... now talent, that's truly something that cannot be bought..

come June, come..!

can't wait for the month june to arrive..
in fact, every month is a milestone in itself now... =)

(p/s: yes, please have the rain come more at night !!)

another graduation

refusing to let the night go..
guess i'll simply have to blog then

yes, it's another 'graduation' at the office soon..
someone closer to our dept, yup, from the rest of 'em departments, i wouldnt bother. but this one, it's closer to home. and i can only imagine all the inconvenience that this will bring.
heartless?
not really. how can you accuse me of being heartless when people come and go on their whims..
sigh... it's sad to say really, that the post is filled by a different person come the annual ISO audit, e.v.e.r.y.y.e.a.r.!
i hav no comment, being bitter maybe, hence no comment.

the boss' face doesnt show any emotion when he sees the letter on the table.
guess they saw it coming?
or rather, they've become immuned to this?
but how can they be? accustomed to be auto-heartless?
the bigger boss even good naturedly offered the said staff an early release, regardless that thesaidstaff had brilliantly already utilised all thesaidstaff's remaining leave earlier on.
brilliant indeed... i'll remember to add that to the book.

it's been awhile now, i havent had this kinda empty-table-nextdoor syndrome.
we all part ways no? even if not now, but still.. eventually.

like what the boss said: Life goes on.
sad but true.
to quote "i should've known better" would be a tad negative, not to mention bitterly hopeless.
but still, yeah... life goes on.
all the best, to thesaidstaff, and to all of us forging on..
adieu~♥
