Somebody wake me up.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

- Green Day, "Wake Me Up When September Ends"

Last week pa 'to nakasulat sa spiral notebook ko.

Haven't finished introducing my batchmates at AWS Action. Sige ngayon na lang part two. Graduation na namin in around three weeks so sigruo ang olats nun pag dun ko pa sila inintroduce, di ba. Game.

Last time, I introduced Mitzi, Kabo, Ren, Nico, and Lany. Hmm. Two Ateneans, two ECE grads, and a pseudo-femme. Have a lot of common with these guys. The next batch of people I have less in common with, pero stig pa rin kasama.

Hannah (not the gf) graduated cum laude pero hindi halata, and I mean that in a good way. The girl plays DOTA for chrissakes, not in a pa-cute way mind you, as in yung complete with the jargons (as far as I know) only the DOTA boys use. Nothing I expected a cum laude would be. Sa Ateneo kase mga cum laude usually mga uber-grade conscious dorks e, alamuyon? (Hehe. Bato-bato sa langit.Ü)

(During practice conversation)
Hannah: "Oosakajo Kouen eki de aishimashou."
Sensei: "EEHH??"

The original line was, "Oosakajo Kouen eki de aimashou," meaning, "Let's meet at Osaka Castle Park." Kaso obviously "aimashou" became "aishimashou", and they mean VERY different things. "Aishimasu" is love, for one thing. The "~shou" suffix means together. Yun na.

After the "aimashou" scandal
Lany: "Nag-aadvance reading ata si Hannah e."

Much later
Kabo: "Ano'ng chapter ba yon?"

Hahahahaha Ü ADTX urban legend in the making!

Anyway. Next si Marge. Hmm. For the first two months of training I hardly heard anything from her. Seryoso. Parang Neil nung first year. With Marge, iniisip ko talaga hindi kami interesanteng kausap kaya tahimik lang sya with Roda. Fortunately we became seatmates after one Nihongo class seat plan reshuffling, and since then I discovered, you know, Marge beyond the cute cheeks and extremely chinky eyes. Ang kulit grabe. Quotable quote machine pala amp.

Lany: "Hindi mo kilala si Topher Grace? Yung venom sa Spiderman 3."
Marge: (seryoso) "Hindi ko pa napapanood yung Spiderman 3..."

Roda comes from Ateneo de Naga. May sariling mundo sila dati ni Marge nung simula ng training, buti talaga ngayon naisipan na nila kaming isama. Ang kulit din nito, bakla din kase. Nag-aagawan kami sa mga gwapong empleyado sa office. Sorry Roda, mas maraming cute sa Alabang kesa sa Makati. Haha.Ü

Roda: (impersonating Ren cursing) "'Hmm... di ako sure e... putangina, ganon ba?'"

Val... is the only beauty titlist I know personally. I think she won Ms. Engineering or something from SLU. Next level ang beauty. Eto talaga pinakatahimik sa batch namin. Iisipin kong magmamadre to kung di ko nalaman ang mga kalokahan nito e. Check out her "About me" description in Friendster:

"BEAUTIFUL and SMART shempre."

Then there's Sel. SLU grad din, halimaw sa programming. I remember the exact moment we bonded. We were both waiting for the elevator to the ground floor that day, first week ng training.

Sel: "San ka punta?"
Me: (hiya pa kunyari) "Yosi break muna."
Sel: "Sabayan na kita."

Panalo di ba. Dami rin naming napagkwentuhan sa ilang daang nayosi namin. Actually naaalala ko sa kanya si Phoebe (da bespren), medyo demure kase alamuyon, pero adik din pala. Haha.

So I guess yun na muna about my officemates for now. Got three more to introduce next time.

ANYWAY. Yung lakad nung isang isang linggo sa Makati. (Ang late na ng post ko 'no, sobrang hapit sa blogging time e.) First of all SORRY TALAGA SI MGA HINDI KO NA-TEXT/ NA-MESSAGE SA YM/ TINAWAGAN/ INE-MAIL/ SNINAIL MAIL/ SINENDAN NG TELEPATHIC MESSAGE. Naging issue pa e. TAO LANG PO! TAO LANG! OK NA? OK.

Hehe. Sayang di ka pumunta. Saya e. Psycho smile all the way. Tanginang Solid Gwapings, kumpleto na naman e kaya asar talo na naman ang F4+Madam kase wala si Lana Sacayan (ng ano?) Sayana.

Pero masaya talaga, one of the few dinners I attended since training started. Sa sobrang saya ko nalasing ako sa beer e, kahit kanta lang yung gusto ko. Sina Sweet kase kampai daw e. Saka more reason to celebrate, nun ko lang ulit nakasama si Dulce at si Grace without having to feel awkward! And torn! And awkward! A kagrabe. Priceless men. Woohoo!!! Thank you Grace, thank you Dulce!!! Di ko na ikukuwento ibang details a, puntahan nyo na lang blog nina Sweet at Dulce. Basta believe me na lang when I tell you... YOU SHOULD'VE HAULED YOUR ASS TO GLORIETTA THAT NIGHT! I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAD A FAMILY THING (MIKE), IF YOU HAD ISSUES WITH THE GUEST LIST (MIKE, andun kase si ** tas wala si ****** XD), or KAILANGAN MONG MAGBANTAY NG BAHAY (si IC naman para fair.Ü) Kailangang i-enjoy natin ang company ng isa't isa habang single pa tayong lahat, at wala masyadong hasel sa buhay! Alamuyon? KAMOWN!

Besides. Namiss ko rin kayo e. Sa Friday a.Ü

Re: comments

The network admin is catching up on me. I can neither
read nor make blogspot comments anymore. The fuck. I
should just be happy I can read blogs at all, I guess.

So anyway, I will take this time to answer comments
from previous posts. Sumimasen for the late reply.

IC: "syet jaime, idol na kita. marunong nang
magnihonggo, marunong pang magprogram hehe :) kaso
hindi ko kakayanin environment mo... panata ko sa
sarili ko na kapag nababawasan na yung 8 hours
sleeping period ko aalis na ako sa trabaho :p haha! :)
... okay lang pala jaime na ganyan ang load mo sa
trabaho. kasi practice yan eh... pag nasa japan ka na,
mas malala pa kasi wahehehe... kaya nga takot na ako
magtrabaho sa japan eh hahaha!!!"

IC ang taba mo na!!! Congrats!!! Anyway konti pa lang
knowledge ko sa Nihongo, at mas konti pa dun ang alam
ko sa programming. Unfortunately. Haha. Pero in
fairness at least may alam na kahit konti. Hindi pala
pwede sa 'kin yung panata mo... sobrang hindi. Mabilis
pa sa alas-kwatro tanggal na 'ko sa AWS. At hindi
pwede dahil gusto kong maging japayuki! Haha. Anyway
miss na kita IC. Labas ulit!

Mike: "ha! magsasawa ka din sa mcdo gaya namin!
hahahaha! Dapat may standard issue ka din na o-orderin
(ako double cheeseburger go big time or mc chicken pag
tipid. haha) mag do-dorm ka (how college!)? ano ba ung
condom? lagi ko nakikita ung commercial sa tv nyan, di
ko namn alam kng ano... XD"

Standard issue ko sa McDo, cheeseburger meal.
Carryover habit from the 208 days. Although usually I
just make do with the microwave meals at 7-11. I used
to pity the poor bastards I saw eating that crap, pero
mapagtyatyagaan naman pala. Saka yun na yung
pinakamalapit sa office e. Anyway yeah, dorm.
Pseudo-rebellious shit. Gusto ko lang lumayo sa bahay.
Joke. Gusto ko lang masubukan yung independence thing,
kahit isang buwan lang. About the condom thing,
sasabihin ko na lang sa 'yo pag alam ko na. :)

Martin: "you sound sad."

Talaga? Huh. Pagod lang siguro. Si Martin ka ba
talaga?

Xtiane: "onga... kulang kasi sa gimik yan! all work
and no play! :p"

Aargh. I wish things were different. Kaso one month na
lang PhilNITS na e, I have to cram like crazy to be
able to pass that. Sana nga pumasa. Gimik na lang tayo
sa ATC. ;p

So yun na muna. Sweet, may date na tayo a. Martin,
galit nga pala 'ko sa 'yo. Jp, skwater ka talaga.

Before I go...

SI NEIL MAY GIRLFRIEND NA!!! WOOHOOOO!!!

La lang. ;)

bleh.

Tagal ko nang di naguupdate. Since the last post,
gumawa ako ng budget application with GUI sa Microsoft
Visual C++, ng Java application for mobile phones sa
emulator using DoJa, ng printer minidriver using
minidev as software development kit, at ngayon native
driver naman ang kakalikutin namin.

Akala mo andami kong ginawa at natutunan 'no. Hinde.
Ginawa lang namin yon. Walang guarantee na may
nag-sink in kahit konti.

Wala na nga palang ADTX. AWS na ang pangalan ng
company namin.

Next week I will start a month-long stay at Alabang.
OJT thing. More printer drivers to make there.
Pinakamalapit lang na makakainan McDonald's sa may
bukana ng Alabang Town Center. Dalawin mo 'ko sa dorm.
Wee.

Do I sound bored? I am. Sensya na. Masabi lang na
nag-post.

Oh, and I hate all the people who went to the batch
thing last Friday. Tinawagan pa talaga 'ko para
mang-inggit.

Good luck sa Sabado Knights Cagers sa next game. Cheer
lang ng cheer kahit tambakers.

Yun lang. Quotable quote before I go.

Condom?
Ren: "Wala akong dala non. Goma na lang."
Jme: "Wala raw syang dalang ganon, KY lang.
Lubricant."
Amiel: "Pang-kotse ba yun?"

There is a God.

Holy shit it works!

Haven't been posting - haven't been ABLE to post,
rather - 'cause some genius here at the office figured
out a way to block blog posting. BORED KA BA?

Anyway pwede naman pala via email. Adik amp. Kaso para
naman akong spokesperson ng Yahoo. Sige, balik trabaho muna.
