Kapalmuks!

I really had to vent out this disappointment that i have today.

I haven't been blogging about my anger to one person lately or to anyone...for the last 3-4 months. But whatever...I'm blogging tonight because I'm shit mad!

A month and a half ago, I cleaned up my room and cabinet for the sole purpose of getting rid of my books from my shelves. Books that aren't used for a very long time. One of those books is my extra Harry Potter Book 6 hardbound. I got it for free when i bought Book 7. Since I already have book 6, I saved the spare waited for a worthy time to give it away. And then we had this BOOK DRIVE in the office.

So ayun na nga...i cleaned up and put these books together with Book 6 in a paper bag to give it out. I enjoyed myself arranging these books and putting some special messages that night. Many people saw me put that BOOK 6 into the box and many have attempted to take it. "wag mo nalang sa bata ibigay sakin nalang..." something like that... I said a big "NO! That's for the lucky kid who can't afford to buy something like this...". Sobrang isinilid ko na sha sa pinakailalim ng box para di na sha makuha...or di mapansin ng mga taong labas-pasok sa HR OFFICE!.

3-4 days ago i checked kung andun pa...for some reason di ko makita...i was like thinking baka sobrang nasa ilalim na di ko makita kahahalukay.

Just this morning, I saw Apong putting all the boooks na sa mga good boxes for shipping. I asked if the Harry Potter book was still there...WALA. As in no HP BOOK found...I was already feeling sick and getting really mad na...I was like telling myself "SINO KAYANG GAGO ANG KUMUHA NUN?!?!" Sorry for the language, this is how i show my real self when I'm mad.

Anyway, going back....sobrang naiinis na ko...i even chat with BEEJ whom already resigned a month ago..and he knows na maraming tao ang gustong mangnenok ng book na yun...I even texted KR who also wants the book but then sabi nya binalik nya because he's waiting pala sa ipapahiram kong book...so OK...asan na?!?!

Sino kayang mokong ang kumuha ng libro na yun? Sana mahiya naman sha dahil ibibigay na nga lang sa bata kukunin pa...I even asked Charles and Mikee since napapadaan din sila sa HR...i asked kung may napansin sila...wala naman...Charles actually said na KARMAHIN nalang ang kumuha nun...That God already knows naman na i gave that for a good cause and that kakarmahin BIG TIME nalang yung kumuha...

I don't remember letting anyone borrow it while the book drive is still on. Maybe I'm also stupid...i could've kept it muna till this morning nung nagaayos na si Apong ng mga books...or as BEEJ said...sana binalot ko nalang ng gift wrapper para di na kunin...but the fact na kinuha yung book w/o anyone in the HR noticing it...and of course w/o me knowing it...is actually STEALING.

KUNG SINO MAN YUN KARMAHIN KA SANA BIG TIME. MAHIYA KA SA BATANG BABASA SANA NUN...MAHIYA KA SA BALAT MO...KAPAL! AS IN KAPAL BIG TIME!

Ang Huling El Bimbo

Was watching MYX..Marc Abaya was their star host in one of their shows...He actually picked this video maybe because its his favorite.

Relieving the magic that Eraserheads brought to us (and I meant the 90's babies and that's us!!!)

Ang Huling El Bimbo also won Asian Viewer's Choice Awards marking as the first filipino band to have ever won the award.

Mabuhay ang DEKADA NOBENTA!

Fresh from Engagement Team's Advertising Workshop just this morning...I was actually "wowed" by this ad and made me bit teary because of the message...For the viewers, i hope you appreciate it and i hope that message of this ad will somehow change our views about racism. ^_^
