My 1st Week on the Job

Its been a week already since i started working. So far its been hell of a stressful week! Its not the workload though, its pretty much fine actually. Its going to work that pisses me off, talk about the distance and the cash i spend just to get there. Since i dont have a car yet, i've no choice but to hitch rides with my relatives. Convenient enough but now i have to adjust to their schedules. Being late is not an option here and it ain't like the Philippines where its ok to be 5 mins late, everything here is on time. Everyday i have to wake up 6am and hitch a ride with my uncle to the train station, and from there i have to catch the 8:02 a.m. train. I also have to be aware im on the right train coz not all of'em pass by the same stations. it takes about an hour to get to my designated station and from there i have to take a cab to get to work, coz theres no other way of getting there unless you have a car. And i hate it when the cab drivers are indians coz their english sucks so bad its like talking to an alien. i dunno what the hell he's saying and worse he's asking me for directions. So im like WTF mate?! you're a f*ckin cab driver, you should know the way more than I do! And we ended up in a fight, coz i dont understand the f*cker and he's pissed coz i don't know how to get there, again WTF mate?! Damn and its only been a week and that's only getting to work. I have to think about how the hell am i going home now. Now i can relate to my saipanese friends and manila, getting lost and all that shit. everyday's like an adventure man!

About work, everyone's nice actually and very hardworking. oh yeah, theyre all chinese, so im kinda out of place, atleast were all asians. But they're cool, they supplied me with some pirated stuff and mp3s hahaha, and i thought piracy only existed in asia. Right now im assigned to do packaging designs for their new products (samurai and fantasy swords). It's pretty easy and i enjoy what im doing however i find it hard socializing with the people. It's like they got their own world man, again WTF mate?! I got to chat with this young group though, they asked me what filipino words i could teach them so i taught them "Tee-teh" hahahah i didn't tell them what it means though so theyre like walking around the ofice calling each other "Tee-teh" hahaha what a bucn of f*ckers!! i shouldn't have taight them that, im so f*ckin bad man. hahahaha! oh yeah, one week has passed and I got my 1st paycheck, fast eh? yeah, just like toon city, ang sweldo dito linggohan, astig! So now im on a shopping galore, bought some old school grunge CDs like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, plus Spawn #1 for 10 bucks only! im like holy shit WTF mate?! Oh yeah, like i said before, you could literally get stabbed on the back coz there are swords and knives everywhere! shit, WTF mate?! haha

sounds like im enjoying my stay eh? well fyi, im getting all depressed right now... i deifinitley miss the life i had in manila, and i don't think all these material stuff that i buy could ever replace it. I miss my friends, my band and ofcourse grace(wala kang kasing \m/ pare) and it kills me thinking that im gona be here for a long while. lately ive been quite bitter and i know that my cousins and aunts are doing their best to cheer me up, but thinking about home just makes me all the more depressed... Im listening to fav song right now "akap" by imago and it sure does remind me of home... *sigh* till the next blog. WTF mate!?

peace \m/

Whats been Da Happenings???

Its been only a month and it feels like forever. No matter how much i hate to say and think about it, America is my new home. Adjusting to it is pretty hard, especially the weather. it's freakin cold... I've had a lot of things in mind that i wanted to share, however im having this writer's block and couldnt put my thoughts into words. Btw, this post is already my third attempt for today. Right now im surprised at how things happen so fast and i just kept saying to myself, "dude, you're one lucky son a bitch". oops, let me rephrase that, "dude, you're one lucky bastard." Curious eh? Well lemme update on whats da happenings mehn. Well, this entry kinda came late so alot of you pretty much know whats been happening. I was literally online 24/7 thanks to my tito's unlimited DSL and electricity. Anywho, here it goes.

- A week ago I was hired! And i couldn't believe it! on my third week!? holy shit! putang ina! buwakang in....ah! hahahaha, talks*t!!! \m/ I applied at Master Cutlery, its a chinese company thats been up for 25 years and their business involves production and designing of knives/swords. Their designs vary in different categories like fantasy, medieval and modern knives. Their products are used in movies and some are sold as collector's items. If you wanna know more about them, check out the site: www.mastercutlery.com All i could say is that their swords are badass man, woah is that english?! tangina. What scares me is that you could easily get killed in the work place. Coz there are swords evrywhere, literally. I'll definitely try not to piss my boss off. haha.

- My dad, tito and i are already checking out some 2nd hand cars. Im planning on getting one coz theres no way you can survive new jersey w/out one. I barely see any bus stops and seryoso pare, mukha kang kawawa pagnaglalakad sa daan. jologs kami ngyn. Getting to work now is my biggest problem, despite the distance, the fees that im gonna pay for transportation is so f*ckin expenisve! If driving a car to work everyday in the philippines is expensive, driving a car here will save you a hell load of cash. That's why im missing the tricycles, jeeps, fx and pedicabs back there in manila, all places are accesible with public transport. walang ganyan sa states. My sis n i feel sooooo helplesssss here... the only solution here is to get a car, and ofcourse a license which is another problem.

- my mom went back to to manila 2 days ago to fix up some important papers and guess what? nanganak ang aso naming si kirby(spitz)! hanlupet! ang una akala namin si jojie(spitz) ang nkabuntis pero nung nakita nila na pango ang ilong ng mga babies eh si pochi(shitzu) pla ang tatay! pito(7) na ang aso namin ngayon at naiinis ako at hindi ko sila makikita ng cute pa sila! pucha!

- We got to hangout with some of my cousin's friends, who happened to be teeny boppers. Now i feel really old and... short. Yes unfortunately i am short and i could pass as one of their classmates. sad but true.

- Naglalakad ako sa park at may bumati saking pinoy. narinig nya kse kausap ko kapatid ko ng tagalog kya kinausap kmi. mayaman ito, kada tatlong buwan unuuwi ng pinas ka naman updated na updated pa rin lalo na sa mga beer haws at ktv tulad ng air force one. sayang nga daw eh nagsara na ang skytrek, oo nga nman, ganda dun eh, pink ang lights! hahaha, inaaya nya kong maginuman, payag nman ako kse desperado nakong magkaroon ng ka inuman dito eh!

- starwars is showing! wala lang!

- ozzfest 2005 is coming soon! dunno what state, dunno when! all i know is its coming very soon and the reality show(Battle for the Ozzfest) winners have been decided. The A Dozen Furies will be playing in this years Ozzfest \m/ Astig mehn.

well that's it for now, i've a lot more to say but i'll save it for my next post. im also running out of words.. grace, help me out on this.. hehehe ;p mishu pare \m/

peace \m/

My lady, my Magdalena

The moment I inserted the Mer De Noms cd inside the disc player, it hasn't been replaced ever since. This album rocks I tell ya, far better than the succeeding albums Thirteenth Step and Emotive. Galing pare, la ko masabi, nakalimutan ko na nga pangalan ko eh. Stig chong!
Heres the lyrics to one of my favorite tracks:

Artist: A Perfect Circle
Song: Magdalena
Album: Mer De Noms

overcome by your moving temple
overcome by this holiest of altars
so pure, so rare
to witness such a lovely goddess

i lost my self control
beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
before your holiest of altars

i'll sell my soul, my self esteem
a dollar at a time for one chance, one kiss
one taste of you my magdalena

i've beared witness to this place, this lair, so long forgotten
so pure, so rare, to witness such a lovely goddess

and i'd sell my soul, my self-esteem
a dollar at a time for one chance, one kiss,
one taste of you my black madonna

i'll sell my soul, my self-esteem
a dollar at a time

for one taste, one tasteone taste of you my magdalena...

peace \m/
