I got up at 3am when I realized I forgot to turn the light off in my room. I actually fell asleep without intending to sleep as early as 11pm on a rest day. =T I think I just got tired of thinking about missing the trip I was supposed to have. If I didn't have that fever on Friday, I would have eaten a lot of seafood yesterday. For free.
Since I got interrupted from my sleep earlier, I just watched a particular movie on DVD...for the nth time. I wanted to watch Angels and Demons (DVD copy na!) but I might fall asleep on the sofa, so I decided to watch something light.
A few minutes ago, I got to chat with a colleague and it got me angry...not at her but at what somebody did. Why do some people see only others' faults? To think these people are not even perfect. Why do some people have to make a f****** big deal out of some trivial matters and let everyone know about it when they can just approach the person and simply ask what happened without making it appear like the "culprit" has done a criminal offense? Why can't some people be humane and considerate?
I know their crappy style, and I am not happy about it.
We are not robots.

Public Market
While I was on the phone with a very important customer in the office today, I can't help but get distracted with the loud noises coming from the non work-related conversations of some of my colleagues. While I sometimes make loud noises with some of my colleagues, which I at some level am embarrassed about, the noises these specific colleagues make are totally unacceptable and uncalled for.
They suck.
It came to a point where I had to send an instant message to another colleague to vent out my annoyance with this group of clamorous people. Worst of all, they talk about people who are not even talking about them. Listening to their conversation (I was not being chismoso, but they were talking loud enough for me to hear), I realized how disappointing to have unprofessional people in our department. For the record, only a handful of them are being unprofessional...we still have sensible and civilized people in the department. I can't help but think: Is this the kind of people that this specific university can be proud of? Should this particular western city be proud of natives like these unprofessional people? And these people are not kids anymore.
Extremely disgusting.
It's not just their loud talking that showed how unprofessional they are; it is also what they were talking about.
Who do they think they are to act that way?
I know I am not somebody, but what I know for sure is that I don't like how these people were acting and I am definitely not like them. Their behavior is worse than not showing up for work, worse than not giving their full attention to the customer, worse than abandoning an ongoing transaction with a customer. These are the kind of people a professional department does not deserve to have.
The good thing is I still have a good number of colleagues who are being professional and who mind their own business. We can do something about this and cut this negative behavior. If these lousy people will not change their ways, we will feed themto the lions.

It was a busy Saturday yesterday where I had to attend 2 lunch invitations: the baptism of my friend's nephew and my office friend's birthday. I went home straight from the office hoping I could get some sleep before going to these events but I was busy farming and re-decorating my restaurant...online! yes, on facebook.I also had a little telebabad time with 3 of my high school friends and I was happy because I haven't done that in a loooong time.
So by 12 noon, a friend picked me up for the baptism lunch then we went to our friend's house. It was great to see one of my high school friends who's here from NYC for a well-deserved vacation. I miss her and my other high school friends as well.
So while I was having lunch, my phone kept on beeping with messages about the birthday lunch of my office friend. Fortunately, I got to balance the time between the baptism and birthday lunch invitations.

Dear Expert Officemate with a crappy attitude,
I would like to commend you for being an expert with the support we have (at least with how the system works). Good job!
Then I would like to tell you how disappointing your attitude is. You are the most harmless-looking messenger we have in our department, and with messenger I mean chismis. Also, you are bitter...for reasons that we all know. Please know that even if I think that you know more about our system-related tasks than most of us do, you do not have the right to belittle your co-teammates for whatever issue they have. Yes, you are free to have your own opinion, but you better keep it to yourself...if you do not want more people to know you are not being professional. And please do not act like you deserve a medal for being nice...because you are not behind people's back. You are being fake. I can be fake too, but I know when to be fake.
I also think you suck up to whoever is in the position, but you only see the faults of those "under" your position, not even knowing your own issues (yes, you have issues,FYI).
Go back to your cave na lang kaya? =P
Your attitude belongs there.

Greetings!
So I created a new blogsite.
It took a while to come up with a good name for this site, and I like what I named it. :)
Welcome to The Online Version of My Orange Notebook---the online version of my orange notebook! I don't even remember where my orange notebook is. I should take a pictureof it and post it here for visual aid and aesthetic purposes. LOL.
