I finally quit my job. Even in my dreams, the hard-to-reach quota haunts me. Isn't that a sign when one thing isn't good for you? At least I had some experience in the sales department without even reaching college. And I got to make friends who were a lot older than me. That never happened before so I guess a little exposure was okay.
Anyway, I'm feeling kinda sick right now. Yesterday, I tried hard to stay awake just so I can adjust my body clock. It didn't work. By 3pm, I was fast asleep. I woke up again at around 7pm and ate dinner. It was the first time in 3 weeks that I ate dinner without being in a hurry. After that, me and my sibs just chilled and watched home videos. Although that was fun, it made my head hurt. To add to that, we had a drinking session by the poolside. By midnight, I was way too weak to do anything else. And I find myself where I am now, hungover and unemployed.
Now, for other things, let me tell you about last week. On Thursday, my brother finally arrived home from the States. I barely got any sleep that day and I had to work too. And let me just say, that things started to change around the house...
Finally, Saturday came. My first rest day. I hung out with some friends at Greenbelt. I was a little underdressed in my jeans, casual tank top, fitted hoodie and Nike sneaks. But I didn't care. My feet really hurt so I gave myself a break. Anyway, we ended up having dinner in Uno Mas. Nad and Margs joked around with the guys a lot but I was pretty quiet there. I felt like sleeping but at the same time, I didn't want to miss out on having a weekend night-out.
There were about 6 guys, all Chinese. They were pretty friendly, too. But the truth was, I wasn't really in the mood to be with a big group, which is why I wasn't talking much. Much later, more Chinese guys came. Parang Chinese mafia na nga eh. Hehe By that time, we already separated from them. Margs had gone home, Nad and I went with Angela and Mike to Absinth. Although I felt more relaxed, I did find out some stuff that really disappointed me. Basta... Ah, who cares? As long as I got my booze, I'm alright. Haha. Joke.
*Sigh* What to write, what to write... wala na, braindead na ko...

I've only been working for a few nights and I honestly want to give up. But I can't quit since I don't want to go back to being a bum. UST does not accept people for 2nd sem so I really have no choice. Anyway, it's not the schedule that bothers me but rather the clients. Most of them hate solicitors and most of the time, minumura ako ng mga yon. Bad trip nga eh pero sanayan lang. Kailangan nakangiti ka parin. Pero sa totoo lang, gusto ko nang lumusot sa phone at tadjakan yung mukha nila. Hehe...
Actually, 2 nights ago, our work was cancelled because the access number that we telemarketers use, was kinda weird. It just wouldn't work. Well, anyways, no one was sleepy yet so me and my co-workers played pool. I haven't played in a long time and I seem to have lost my touch. Hehe. We also chilled out at Starbucks in Ayala. I told them some ghost stories and I think they were pretty much terrified.

I've been training as a telemarketer for two days straight now. Tomorrow, I start officially. I got the night shift, which is good for one thing. I don't have to wake up early. The bad part is, I have to sacrifice weekend night-outs because my rest days are on weekdays. Oh well, it's all good. I'm glad to finally be doing something productive. I've been bumming around for as long as I can remember.
Man, I'm so tired. I've been waking up really early, like, 6 or somethin. I had to. In addition to that, I had to use the MRT, too, and walking to the station really kills my feet. Not to mention, my nose. I hate the smell of the wet market. Sigh...at least, I'm getting some exercise. Hehe.
I gotta end this entry. I'm fuckin braindead right now.

I can't believe it's already September. Time really does fly fast. In a few days, we will be reunited with my brother Jay. He's scheduled to arrive on the 11th. That's right. September 11. He probably got a cheap ticket since no one will want to leave the United States because of the national holiday.
What's been happening lately...well, the call center I applied at finally called and asked me to come at 8am tomorrow. Geez, what an early-ass shift for a night owl like me. At least I'll be able to fix my body clock cause I've been oversleeping lately. What do you expect with a bum? Hehe.
Last Friday, my friends Nad and Margs invited me to hang out at this place called Seventy7. It's like this totally chill place with minimal lighting and pillows on the window seats. I found it cool. But I should have just worn sneakers or something. Ah, whatever. Anyway, I just drank one Vodka Cruiser and 2 San Mig Light beers. It was enough to make me talk a bit. I don't really talk much when I don't know the people around. I mean, sure Nad and Margs were there but their friends were, too. I didn't know them but they seemed like a friendly bunch. The girls looked nice, and not at all snobby. The guys were being all gallant by lighting my cig everytime instead of just lending their lighters to me.
The following day, me and my sis Tracy had the house to ourselves. It would have been more fun if we had some friends over. Well, Tracy slept all day Saturday so she didn't have the chance to invite anyone. I was awake yet, none of the friends I invited could make it. Bad trip nga, eh. Evening came and we were still bored to death. Finally, at around 12mn we decided to text Rap to see what he was up to. Turns out that he was just chilling at home with some friends, having a drinking session. He told us to come over. I was having second thoughts because I didn't know the guys there and I didn't want to be epal to them. But eventually I agreed to go since there was nothing else to do at 1 in the morning.
Rap picked us up, tipsy as he was. Then, as planned, we hung out at his place. To tell you the truth, I was extremely sleepy but I didn't want our Saturday to pass by without doing anything fun or whatsoever. Moreover, since neither Mom or my big sis Candice was around. We soundtripped on rap tunes, my current favorite. I think I only had 2 beers and a shot of Emperador or Fundador, whichever. One of their friends, Roy, is from Riverside in Cali. That's where my cousins August and Edward live. Anyway, his Tagalog is funny and he keeps rapping to himself. What a trip. I dozed off for awhile since I really was sleepy. We rolled out at around 4am, I think. I felt like puking in the car but I managed to control it.
Already buzzin and ready to catch a few Zzzs, me and Tre still watched a movie in my room. She likes to sleep in my room, for some reason. We chose "Beavis and Butt-head Do America". During the movie, I kept receiving really malabo text messages from Rap. I told him to get some sleep. The guy's probably drunk.
Didn't bother finishing the movie. I've seen it anyway, and besides, my droopy eyelids were killing me.
