{\*Saturday with the nocturnals*/}

I'm so wiped out from all that walking and shopping in the mall. Last stop was at the office to post an entry in this blog. We just finsihed off some leftovers from TGIF. The manager all gave us gold cards this time to avail of 20% discount in all Bistro establishments. Nilo has a friend working there kasi. And we've been known as regular customers already. We have hefty servings of delectable dishes, which we haven't able to finish in one sitting. We were able to eat them again for dinner after we arrived at the office. We saw Kathy and Marlon while lounging in the comfy couches in Starbucks Glorietta during the afternoon. After some chitchat while waiting for Nilo to come back from Ortigas, we are at it again -- scanning the displays on the stores. This time they're going after appliance showrooms, gizmo gadgets, and musical instruments. Seems that they don't know what to do with their bonuses.
The day would really turn up unpredictable when you're spending it with these guys. One hour would stretch to three hours, blah, blah, blah.
Who would've think that these guys are practically walking zombies since they haven't charged up for the day and yet they all have the energy of a bull.
Something completely opposite when it comes to my lifestyle. Not that I really don't like to stay up super late. I just can't manage it. That's the reason why there are only rare occasions where I'm most likely to be seen awake at the stroke of midinight. Even then, expect me to be yawning almost ever minute.
I declined Rolypoly's offer to spend the evening with him and his college buddies for a night out which is ok since they've long been out of each other lives and its proper that they get to spend some time off for themselves to catch up on things.
There are a lot of reunions come December from college batchmates and friends. I'm not sure if I could all accomodate them all in my calendar. I'd like to have all that Christmas shopping done before the mad rush settles in.
I've finally watched the J.K Rowling's latest movie adaptation. It would go down in history as one of the best Harry Potter movie to date. I watched last Thursday since I'm on vacation leave during that day doing some errands.
I feel I'll be having a good night's sleep tonight since I'm so wiped out. I wasn't able to get a proper sleep last night. Work kept me in the office for hours. Its too late to catch the MRT so I'd just hopped in the bus. At a stop near Glorietta, Dovan and his friend spotted me among the seats and they slipped right in. Good, I was able to doze off for a few minutes before Dovan got off in Kamias. His friend, which also works in Thomson had the same surname as mine only his has a double r in it. And I was surprised he quite knew me although that was the first time I met him. Just a thought, the Kamiseta lon-sleeved blouse last midnight madness sale at Glorietta had the name Arriola on its tag. I only noticed after tearing it off with a scissor. I got to know the sale from Chi. I'm with Isay, Nancy, Mitz, and EJ, who drove us there after work.
Earlier that day, we had a late lunch at the newly-opened Brother Burger. I was with Tate, Carlo and EJ. Our team had a brunch treat celebration of November celebrators- Drew and Joey; and Charo's anniversary in the company.
I think I'd better go since Mervyn's not his usual self anymore which is probably caused by lack of sleep. We'd be going home now. Ciao!

{*In a NUTSCHELLE*}

Just turned 23. Not that young anymore and not too old either. One of the few reasons why she had a good excuse to mess up her life and still get away with it. She is a self-confessed blog addict. The blog design reflects the total opposite of her personality. She is innocence personified - prim and proper, goody-two-shoes but could turn your life into a nightmare at the least provocation. Nothing is too complicated that her not-so-average mind could comprehend.

{*Profile*}

I took delight in trivial things. I could cry bucket of tears over light drama flicks while feel-good movies make me feel fuzzy all over. Despite the sheer crappiness of horror stories, I still hate those gory and morbid scenes that will leave anyone with that sick to the gut feeling. I love the sound of the waves crashing into the shore and the heavy downpours on lazy afternoons. Although i'm almost always caught with a bunch of people, I savor moments in solitude--staring into blank spaces, totally leaving the worldly troubles behind and just lingering in silence. I'm a self-confessed bargain hunter. New finds never fail to fascinate me--it make my melatonin levels shoot sky-high.

{*Career*}

Corporate girl who commutes from three to five hours on daily basis; started being a corporate slave a few weeks before graduation; she's been working for two years; just a few months shy of getting that much-coveted MBA degree from an international academe. She wants to carve a niche in her pursuit for world domination (as if she's bent on it!). Future career plans include being a financial journalist or lifestyle writer; preschool teacher, etc.

{*Capricorn woman *}

The Capricorn woman has a strong ability to understand human nature the way no one else does. She has the ability to analyze and understand any concept well and possess a good memory. It is not easy to deceive her. She has a very business savvy nature. Conservative by nature, prudent and economical - a Capricorn women can amass a lot of wealth in her life. However it is also not uncommon for Capri woman to indulge in sporadic spending spree - leading to temporary financial hassles.
