I'm trying to earn brownie points from my parents in light of recent events.
I haven't been a very good daughter lately so I believed some parental ass-kissing was in order. Said ass-kissing comes in several forms, most of which would be running various errands for my parents, such as bringing my father's shirts to the tailor, buying light bulbs at the hardware store, and filing a letter of complaint at the telephone company's office.
I was doing the last over the weekend.
I arrived at the phone company's office, carrying a letter that was typed just a few hours ago by my father, filled with hateful, possibly, swear-filled sentences, hoping that this particular errand wouldn't take long.
Once my number was called, I approached the counter, coming face-to-face with a fair-skinned, generally decent-looking woman. She asked me what I needed, and I said I was filing a complaint. She then asked me to describe the nature of my complaint, exposing a mouthful of crooked lower bottom teeth. I briefly summarized the contents of my father's letter, while simultaneously handing over one of the printed copies I had brought. I doubt she was listening to me at all, since she was reading the letter while I was talking. Stupid bitch. Tinanong mo pa ako, I thought.
She then told me that she was going to send an electronic report to the main office so that a technician could come over to our village to look at the problem. I nodded amiably, and waited, as she took eons, epochs, and endless eras to file the report. I imagined her looking at her Facebook account, watering crops on Farmville or whatever the hell horribly-coded games she might be playing, or posting on her friends' walls instead of actually filing the report, inevitably wasting her and my time. As she was doing this, she looks over at her co-worker and proceeds to detail her and her boyfriends' plans for the weekend. HOLY FUCK. YOU SHOULD BE FILING MY COMPLAINT, I thought.
I stared at her forehead really, really hard, hoping to somehow telepathically communicate this, or even possibly hoping that my brainwaves were transferring at least a teeny tiny bit of my intelligence, but no such thing occurred. I then proceeded to scrutinize her face again, wondering how this fat, crooked-toothed woman with her powder-covered face and horribly applied makeup even managed to get a boyfriend. Christ. The standards that people have these days. I rolled my eyes and waited.
After a few more epochs, eras, and centuries passed, she finally informed me that a technician was coming over to the village the next day to inspect the phone lines. I nodded, only giving her half my attention because God knows she didn't value or need it, hoping to make the conversation as short as possible so I could get the hell out of there and go home.
Walking out of that office, I remember thinking when I last looked at the woman behind the counter, I hope to hell I don't end up like you.
Hmm. My post looks like prose. :| whatever. It feels good to know I'm not as rusty as I thought. :D
Sometimes I forget why I like walking so much. Maybe it's because it's infinitely better with a friend. Or maybe it was just because I probably walked the equivalent of 2.5 miles today. X| ugh. From the Math Building to Ylanan Gate to the supermarket to home via Tandang Sora. Tiring, but not incredibly so. :P
Karl Marx was right; the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. :|
DARRREEEENNNN. I cannot wait to hang out tomorrow. :D I miss our evul conversations and spurts of random nothingness. :)) Christmas parties cannot come fast enough. Pleaseohpleaseohplease. Let nothing fuck that up. [-O<
I trust you.
I hope you know what that means.
I haven't blogged here for so long that I've already forgotten my URL. :| I was typing http://joeyboeydoodledoah.vox.com/ a while ago and kept wondering why it wouldn't work. @-)
I was supposed to put a sonnet here, but I couldn't find one that was exactly appropriate, so I gave up. Noone would be able to figure it out anyway. :)) GRABE TALAGA. I couldn't believe my bodily reaction a while ago. Freaky talaga. :| Ah well, we're getting there. No way but up! \:D/ At syempre na din, kung dun ka masaya, ano namang magagawa ko, diba? :P Duh, Jo, edi maghanap ka ng mas hot na lalaki. 8-| Pangit naman sya, eh. You'll be able to find a replacement in no time. Heehee. Toodidoo. :-"
Yung mga iba dyan kasi. Ang daming dramang nalalaman. 8-| Lalo na nung Saturday. :)) Hahaha. Loveyou, madaldal na person! May utang ka pang game plan sa akin. ;)
Okay. Ngayon ko lang narealize na ang incoherent ng post ko. :| Whatever. Lame lang ako at mahilig akong magpost ng di nagegets na posts. :))
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do,
there's no other way when it comes to the truth;
so keep holding on.
Ang haggard ng week na to. :|
And another one turns a year older, and hopefully, a year wiser. :)
I hope he'll like our surprise tomorrow later today. :P there are still a few things I haven't prepared yet. :|
Oy vey. I am tired. (:|
Just have to finish editing the Geog film script and I'm off to dreamland.

I don't like being a moody bitch. :|
Lecheng PMS yan. GO AWAAAAAAAAAAYYY. X(
Break muna bago tumuloy sa sigsheet. :P Inaantok na kasi ako. :| I thought of playing Plants Versus Zombies to wake me up but knew better than to get hooked at such an inappropriate time. Instead of playing, I will answerz memez. :D

So I was looking at this tumblr, hoping to get some insipiration for whatever I'm going to wear tomorrow, when I came across this photo:
Tapos wala lang. Nakakainlove syaaaaaaaaaa. ♥o♥ Ang hot nya. =P~
Yuck, sorry, ginagawa ko nang Tumblr yung Vox ko. 8-| Ang whatever naman kasing gumawa ng Tumblr, eh; parang ang weird kung magpost ka ng posts talaga. Mostly media lang ang magandang ipost dun. :|
Gosh. Ang random ko. Dapat kasi magkkwento ako about stuff that happened recently, but the thing is, I don't think it'd be wise if I posted them here. Issues might arise, so wag nalang. :P
I will persevere.
