Kapoy: full version

Where have I been?

I've been sick for almost two weeks now.. Got myself checked yesterday for the second time.. Been x-rayed and had CBC...

Also just got my mind cleared out... not totally though..

I'm in the office right now. My shift starts at 2:30 a.m., so I still have time to share what the heck happened to me..

I had cough, colds, sore throat and fever.. Haven't fully recovered but I need to work.. Been absent for a couple of days.. I hope my boss isn't that mad at me... =(

Where it all began...

As I can remember.. It all started with me being placed in CAP (C* Action Plan) for being unable to shed a minute from my AHT (average handling time) ... please excuse all these call center jargons, whatever..

Hadn't got enough rest because of the hot temperature during noon..

Then I got so anxious with the package that didn't arrive on time, which I still have to go and fetch from the "package company".. grrr...

I was also forced to dance my butt out during an anniversary celebration in the office.. people had a blast.. but I didn't.. I don't dance and most of all I don't to be forced to dance...

Also got paranoia attack... some issues with girls in the office...

And some issues with boys in the office... grrr... I'd love to blurt it all out here but never mind.. PM me if you wanna know... basta! verrrrrrrryy long story... grrr... and naay part na still bugs me...

Then here comes boredom.. so i tripped.. puffed a week-old cigarette which is supposed to be a souvenir..

So.. it started.. the cough... then the colds.. then the sore throat... then the fever... then the tummy aches.. the headaches...

Then... the pang of nostalgia hit me.. really really hard... grrr... Being sick made me miss home really really badly... It made me miss the herbal concoctions that my mom used to brew to help relieve my fever and cough.. Also I missed my sister giving me a massage which always helped me a lot... And mostly.. I missed my beau more.. lying there on my bed.. alone.. was really worst... *sigh* Kinda gotten used to having him beside me during tough times.. especially when I feel ill...

One more week to go and I'll be spending a week at home... I need to survive this...

By the way... Just last night.. I kinda lost myself... really got stressed out... lost my mind... cried the whole evening... cellphone.. some stuff flew anywhere inside the bedroom including medicines... I hate to admit it but I had tantrum attack...

I just miss my loved-ones really really badly...

..oh yeah.. by the way, the doctor told me that if I won't be cured.. This would lead to pneumonia... =((

My beau's sick too...

I just hope everything will be alright...

kapoy

It's sunday evening. I'll be working tonight... *sigh* I'm not burned out but just tired.. I need more sleep.. I need more time with myself.. I need to create scrapbooks.. I need to finish reading the books I've borrowed... I'm kinda exhausted talking to customers who do not know how to listen...

waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! kapoy...

Adik Mode

Time check. The computer clock says it's already 2:15 P.M. My shift ended at 9:30 A.M. but here I am.. in addict mode.

My partner in lakwatsya is not here.. She is home - in Iligan.. with her family and our friends.. so noone is gonna look for me and somewhat reprimand me (peace Lu..!)

After my shift I did some "work stuff". Waited for my direct supervisor and went directly to the sleeping lounge where I currently am posting this entry.

My hands are kinda stiff with the freezing temperature of the room but I beg not to discontinue with my entry.

Well... as you can see below, I was able to finally post the event we had last RD which I was dying to post since Saturday evening.. But there it is.. finally..

But still continued with the editings but also came across reading my previous posts.. (from the very beginning)... And realized a lot of things... One would be that over the past, I've only posted a few entries in this blog.. And also... I missed to post the follow-up activities with almost half of my total number of entries.. hehehe... hopefully... since I already have this free internet access (almost daily), I think I can hopefully post every event that's happening with me.. But for a change.. I won't promise any.. hehehe... but just keep posted though..

Hmmnn... It's already a Wednesday afternoon.. My back is aching, my tummy is grumbling, and my hands are freezing..

I don't have work tonight since today would be one of my RDs for this week (and next week, I guess..)..

Oh well... my addict mode won't end here though.. I'm still planning to do the laundry and read the books I've just borrowed from an officemate..

"Adik" --- that's what they call me.. so.. here's my post for today.. The adik is still not signing-off though...

tuh-tah for now!

Another Uncaptured Moment

I spent an intoxicating evening last Saturday (11:24:07) at The Outpost.

If you were able to read my previous entries, The Outpost was the bar I've had had a good time at the last time I had my RD (rest day). It actually is an artists' haven here in Cebu. An old house (made during the Spanish era) turned into a cozy place where most of the local and national artists hang-out. Inside you can find a small bar, a stage, tables and chairs, and paintings, guitars, all sorts of installation art hanging on the walls. Outside the house, you'll see the cottages that they've put where people can huddle together. They also placed some torch along the pathway which added to the bewitching feel of the place.

Anyway, going back to event.. last November 23-25, the Cebu Guitar Festival was celebrated at The Outpost.

Well.. good thing it was still mine and Lua's RD.. so the "three little girls"* went there...

We were kinda late when we got there. A few bands have already played and the place was packed the moment we arrived. But good thing that we found a spot just outside the house. We found an empty bench and sat there listening to the music from the inside while looking at the people below.

As usual, we remembered our friends who are way back home when we heard the band playing blues and funky music. And almost drift into the music. However, we were distracted and kinda got some attention there at our spot when an old man (probably a regular) asked to sat beside me. While we were chatting once in a while, and listening to the music, we also watching people's activities in front of us.. which includes a magician who's playing some magic tricks, entertaining those whom he passed by.

Oh well.. his name's Gene.. Not the magician you are thinking.. Not the one with a cape, a long round hat, and a wand.. But a guy in his early 20's.. With glasses and curly hair.. Dark complexioned and dressed like a combination of a goth and punk. Well... he brings with him his deck of cards though..

So there.. we were chatting and listening to band playing when suddenly Mr. Regular (the old man I've just mentioned) barged-in in our conversation. And guess what? He called Gene "the magician" to come over. Well.. that's what happened, Gene came over and showed us his tricks. So we kinda stole everyone's attention in just a snap.

We really wanted to get inside the house and Mr. Regular noticed it so he suggested that we get inside using the back-door.

Oh yeah, we were able to get inside but there were no vacant seats so we just stood there for hours. Ordered some drinks and stood near the bar. But got really crowded in that area so we moved a little to the center. I really didn't notice how long we stood there since I already got lost with the music, especially that it was the BLUES AND JAZZ night.. My hands could not really rest. They envy the keyboardists' hands and drifted away to the memories with my beau's hands.. (... missed those days where we would have our jazz and blues improvisation sessions at home or at our school's Rm. 309 (with the grand piano) )...

Anyway, as I've said.. the music was really intoxicating... at some glimpse, I was shutting my eyes while listening. And I had some kind of a high.. amazing!!

Oh well... just another event we never failed to miss but we failed to capture... again...

Just to inform you guys.. the reason why i don't have a lot of photos here, it is because I don't a have any sort of camera (on a phone, web cam, digital, and even the old kind..)...

Really is frustrating to think that I was unable to capture a lot of moments.. including this... =(

Maintenance

This is my after work activity for today. Just doing a little editing with this blog. (=

I know I haven't doing any clean-up or whatsoever.. But here it is anyway...

Just also wanna greet you a Happy Sunday! (=

There are a lot of entries that soon will be posted here. So just keep hopping by. I also have a lot of ideas which I'll hopefully channel out as words..

Well... Ohayoo gozaimasu!

Gotta go home and get some sleep..
