L-O-8

1. Fantastic 4
Rise of the Silver Surfer

As I've expected, it wasn't so great. Come on, the first episode was giving us the hell of a blast with the trailer, pero the movie itself...ho-sheesh napaka-boring. And corny, two adjectives that spells the word 'walk-out sa sinehan.'

But this episode, hmm...I'd give them props for the cool display of powers, love Silver's silvery body, and the blondliness of Jessica Alba which doesn't bother me anymore. This is better than the first one, pero still, for a pricier price that you have to pay to see the movie, I'd rather wait for it to be shown on cable rather than pay. I hope Transformers wouldn't fail and break my heart.


2. Ang Katulad Mong Walang Katulad
Orange & Lemons

Such an infectious song with a really cool video to match! It's sobrang perfect! Finally, directors are realizing to follow the drama of a video to the beat of the song they are actually directing. Go wait for it on MTV and you'll understand what I mean.

Go download na on your MP's guys! It's a must after my kabaliwan with 6Cycle's Version of Prinsesa.

My Supposedly Extremely Happy Weekend

My weekend plan to be extremely the happiest-going-lucky guy has been halted and, like my interview in Zara, has to be rescheduled due to Rustan's RP's call. And I totally hate this. I have to re-lay out the entire Weddings & Beyond Event on July kasi Rob.Place's staff would not accept the first one we've submitted. Darn. There goes my plan on being a pokpok the entire weekend.

Double darn.

I, Tired.

Words could not express how much sadness is contained in my heart right this moment. It definitely is a non-quantifiable amount waiting to explode na I really wanna get hit by the bus as I was on my way home, tapos lightning bolts would strike my useless carcass. Pero as usual, I kept my golds on. Smiled all the way pretended na everything will and is all good...pero people...it's so not.

Really you wouldn't ever see me cry. Pero that's basically my matrix body transcending, not my reality. Right now people see me as the fierce, outgoing, happy-go-lucky guy, pero inside, if you know me, and if you really know me, as in inside and out, you'd know na my psychotic side is telling me to jump off the MRT railings and get hit by the train.

Dear Mr. Reader, I am truly sorry for the deep litanya na I am serving you this evening...I just want the world to know and realize na even the great Timtastic whom you don't normally see whining or ranting about hoo-has is so tired and fed up with life. Now I truly feel na this world is a cruel one. And I don't ever see the slightest hope of it changing to a better one. I hope God has his own Macintosh so He could easily access my blog and be able to answer my prayers...

...Why do people don't recognize one's greatness?
...Talagang dapat when everything else fails dapat mangdadamay ng kung sino-sino just to re-boot and further upgrade the system whereas you are already affecting people na nananahimik?
...The gulo of one ba should really be answered by another na currently nag-eenjoy with his time?

I'm sorry Mr.Reader pero if you're an unexperienced one, let me tell you this. We are living in a world where the word 'palakasan' is not just a term. It's a way of life.

Believe me there would be times na you'd be daydreaming on how you'd kill yourself, pero please...don't be like me. Live your life fantastically and let my golds amuse you. I am not implying na I have every plan tonight of killing myself...all I'm saying is that I am so darn tired with my life that I am this close to dying.

Total Bi-hatch

I am quite worried about my life. Lately kasi I haven't been posting whatevers and everything's about tragedies, sadness, and the likes. God what's wrong with me...I have to rekindle my spirit and be reborn.

Plus! Lately I've been bitching around people...Is this stress? Or really I am (as usual) emotionally challenged na naman? Ho-sheesh to the peeps that I have offended I am sobrang sorry.

Hello Zara.....anyone?

I kept on re-scheduling my final interview with Zara, I think for two weeks straight na, and so now I am currently suffering the consequences. I've called them up yesterday and asked how did my exam go...baka mamaya bobo pala ko without me knowing. At least okay ng malaman ko so I'd be alerted.

Anyways, they told me to call back next week. Hopefully the results are good...pero what I'm really worried about is the position na they'll be giving me...I hope this works.

I, Robot.

Most of the time, nowadays, I feel like one.

I can't wait to have my freedom back...kaya gustong-gusto kong magising na lang one day and *POOF! College student na ulit ako. Kasi seriously...college is way, way, way more fun than the life I live now. And P.S. Mas mayaman ako nung studyante pako. FOR REAL!


I have to have my old self back...

I, Tired.

Can't wait for reincarnation.

Chillin' @ St.Francis for our HOME SALE

How to know if Mr. Timtastic's L-A-T-E na (as usual) sa work:

1. Getting a padyak ride takes me around 5-10minutes under the blazing and starck-raving mad sun.
2. Halting an FX is way easier kasi wala na kong kakompetensiya.
3. Taking the jeepney to MRT would take me forever kasi wala ng taong sumasakay.
4. I could dance the 'La Bamba' paakyat ng MRT North Station with matching tumbling at pagbili ng candy to death.
5. Buying a Shaw card is more mabilis than waiting for my padyak ride to come in the morning.
6. Walang wrestling match papasok ng tren.
7. Eto malala: Nakaupo pa ko sa tren.
8. Mas malala: Pwede akong lumipat sa kabilang tren pero makakaupo pa rin ako.

AT! Eto na ang pinaka-malala: Paano malalaman kung si Tim-Tam ay half-day na?

9. Bukas na ang Shangri-La Mall.

Text Messages

Wanna know the truth?

The first time I saw you...Hindi kita gusto. As in. Pero when we've conversed na, I felt you. Alam mo yun...Alam mong totoo yung tao and then I know na na I wanna keep you forever. Or so I thought...

Grabe everynight I'd think about you...What could have been our future...Will we last...Ewan ko this has never happened sa kin. You never happened to me...Someone ultimately sincere and focused on life...I could have been a better person...

For the wicked roller coaster adventure, whatever happened, I am both sorry and grateful...I really hope we can start anew...

If not...I've promised myself na next lifetime...I'll still search for you. And if so, I could not wait for this time to end.

Funny no? I am texting the truth to an unused SIM card...I guess it's all better this way...Yung magtext ako sa number na di mo naman ginagamit...

Irony is...I don't think I ever wanna see nor talk to you again...And I don't know why...

Ang gulo no?...I still wish for you everytime I spot the first star on my sky...three wishes...2 for my family, and the last one for you...Everytime...Not to meet you again...but for you to be always happy.

Good night Ruffles...I hope I'd wake up finally emancipated.

Loves...

Our Metrowalk Days...

Kaka-out ko lang sa Shang, papasok pa lang si Anapots, and Pao Konyo (guy on my left), looks like my pal Patrick Bondoc.

Shocks ang freaky. :)

Goldified!

We did it!
As usual the VMD Team has done miracles na naman with our window. Two days for concept, two days to put up. Walang tulugan, pero it's so worth my golds.

LOVE IT!

Father's Day Window

We're todo hada this month na I could not find time to blog about things that has happened in the office and sa store...From Xevi's Baptism set-up na hinuli kami ni Kuya Ramil for jaywalking, to MTL's husband, Mr.Lopez's birthday set-up at Forbes Park, to Father's Day window set-up na pinaiyak ako from the graphics to actual execution of the concept, sumingit pa ang Luggage floor concept and Father's Day interior lay-outs.

Hay. So there. And it's raining. Darn I didn't bring my stoopid umbrella.

Anyways here's FAP's team's #1 pride as of to date:

"Flaws And All"
Beyonce
B'day Deluxe Edition

I'm a train wreck in the morning
I'm a bitch in the afternoon
Every now and then without warning
I can be really mean towards you
I'm a puzzle yes in deed
Ever complex in every way
And all the pieces aren't even in the box
And yet, you see the picture clear as day.

[Chorus]
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I love you [3x]

I neglect you when I'm working
When I need attention I tend to nag
I'm a host of imperfection
And you see past all that
I'm a peasant by some standards
But in your eyes I'm a queen
You see potential in all my flaws
and that's exactly what I need.

[Chorus]
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
and that's why I love you [3x]

[Repeat Chorus]

Flaws and all...

"I don't know why you love me...
And that's why I love you...
You catch me when I fall...
Accept me flaws and all...
And that's why I love you...."

This is such a kilig song

Beyonce sings about how bitchy she could get in the afternoon, how she neglects her man when she's @ work, how imperfect she is that she thinks her man deserves someone better....and the feeling is exactly reciprocal.

I hope I'd find somebody who'd love me for no other reason than feeling love...kasi sabi nga if you could give explanations on why you love someone, that person becomes a need or a want...not a partner.

Go download the song 'FLAWS & ALL' on Beyonce's B'day Deluxe Edition

Eh!?

This were the days...

I miss my girl pals. Yung tipong magpapaka-abnormal lang kami the entire day...Laugh about whatevers...Aasarin si Snooky kasi napaka-KJ...and the likes.

Hay...college is the best.

Crushes

My gosh this is it! I do not know kung desperado lang ako or whatever, pero ang dami kong crush!

Ok here are the clues:
1. An M.M. @ Men's Department. God Inno Sotto was so an instrument of God para magkakilala kami ng taong to...Hope I could add this person up sa friendster...or something. I do have your number..Haha! Ang jologs!
2. Friend ni Cenz na ka-on ng isa pa niyang friend. Yuck ang cheap ko! I swear! Anyways, he looks like Remote kasi. Hihi..I am such.
3. Artista. Could be viewed @ Cosmo's special edition. (Yuck ang hirap ng clue!)

I am such a whore! Har! :)

iPOD anyone?

I am this close to owning one...
I can already feel it...
And seriously, I have already listed every bit of song to be downloaded...
Can't wait for Saturday...

This close to succeeding...

Tomorrow's Zara Day. 8AM Sharp I have to be @ their main office to take my exam. Everything's cool, pero the thing that freaks me out is the fact na wala pa raw akong position.. HUWAT? I explained kindly na ang hinihingi ko is managerial. We'll see, we'll see. Hindi pa ko inapdate on my concern. Basta tomorrow, may position na or wala, I'll take the exam na. Then we'll negotiate.

THIZ IZ IT!

Alabang Freaking Hall

I was told earlier yesterday sa McDo ATC na the road in EDSA Alabang is being fixed pala so the buses have to take a different route. Ginising ako ni Kuya Ramil kasi we were at the palengke na where we have to take a bus pa to get to our meeting place ng rest of the XEVI SET-UP CLAN. The kon-doktor was yelling '...Alabang na, Alabang na! Bumaba na lahat ng Alabang!' And so we did...only to find out na we are to be caught for jaywalking.

My god they do not understand the term tourista! Walang pakialam all they hear are theirselves lang walang pakialam what we have to say and they made me feel so freakingly angry and I am going to make sure that authorities receive my arti-quams about what they did to me! Mga mukhang pera ang mga loko-loko! I really hate them! Di ba nila alam na yung malaking percentage ng sweldo ko napupunta sa kanilang mga taga-walis ng kalye? My god call me Mr.Discriminating or whatever basta galit ako sa kanila! Walang concern atat sa pera! And we kept on saying na the bus driver dropped us off sa maling lugar pero ang sinasabi nila, '...lumang alibi na yan...'

To hell with them. I'll burn down ALABANG'S CITY HALL if that's the last thing I have to do. You freaks na magwawalis sa kanto..hope masagasaan kayo ng bus na nagbababa sa gitna ng kalye and see if people will care...kasi you are sobrang non-essential.

DOUBLE PEA-ARE-OH-YOU-DEE

Yesterday we have to set up for Katrina Tantoco-Lobragat's new baby at Paolo's house in Ayala, Alabang. The set-up was light lang pero my gosh naman ang HEAT! The worst ever ang experience na yun kasi bilad kami sa araw for hours! Sabi nga ng isang kasama nila doon, '...sir isipin niyo na lang nasa beach kayo...'

AS IF! Beach? Baka impiyerno! Grabe ulan ng malakas then araw ng sobra...I really wanted to die right then and there, as in di kinaya ng Advil ang headache and trauma! Phooey! Anyways, I really like the set-up though with the nautical theme...I didn't see the peeps nga lang if they're like in costumes or whatever, anyways the point is, this experience made me realize na this is the real life na that I am living....No more homeworks, seatworks, quizzes...Di pwedeng mandaya....Everything's a test na. (Plus the fact that earning money is sobrang not easy!)


I WANNA COME HOME...
And then there we were riding all the way from Alabang to Manila via our ever-trusty VMD Van. And guess what. Nope, hindi ako naka-upo sa front seat and rather, I was at the back of the van...with the props! NOW THAT'S AN EXPERIENCE! As in hindi ako nahiya! I actually felt proud pa nga na I have learned to live differently. Siguro kung mabata-bata pako magpapaka-drama queen na naman ako para lang di makasakay sa likod ng van namin. And here's a fact, inalok pa ko ni Boss Ferds na switch kami pag-uwi kasi ang haba ng biyahe...Pero no. I wanna prove to myself na I am a changed man. Or whatever.

I am really something else.

128MB Memory Card

This is irritating. I've just found out yesterday na my MMC was corrupted, or in layman's term: SIRA NA, HINDI NA PWEDENG GAMITIN.

Damn it I was sobrang pissed na I was this close to swapping my phone for a T610 which, btw, according to my friend sa Farmer's who owns a stall for cellphones, I would be so lugi kasi it doesn't carry a memory card reader.

Damn so now I have to buy a new one. Then have to copy all of my corrupted MMC's content to the new MMC...so all-in-all this dilemma would break P500.00 from my account. Darn it. Kung kelan kapa nagtitipid oh...

Good thing buhay phone ko. She detected 4viruses sa MMC eh. Whew! That's 3more the usual.

Anyways, have to work hard. Naiirita ko sa phone ko. At least nagkagulo mga tao dun dahil mukhang ginto daw phone ko with the gold glitters. It was flattering kasi they were admiring my creativity. Nakaka-up lift ng spirit. Thanks dudettes! :)

Father's Day Window

I am keeping this for reference lang. Sooner-than-you-think will this be seen @ the Ayala Window. Mag-mamagic na naman ang VMD Team especially kaming Men's. Thiz iz it. Miracle-working time!

Happy Father's Day! :)

The TRINOMA Experience

WARNING! This blog contains offensive criticism, yet, try to be constructive about it. I am a visual merchandiser, what do you expect.

YUCKEE! Thiz iz it.

Yes I will admit, the facade of the said mall is sooper maganda, very Ayala, more like Greenbelt instead of Glorietta (so not like ATC which, btw, I find flabbergasting kasi it's sobrang mukhang hindi Ayala Zobel...needs a lot of help with the visuals) pero what's not so good about it is pinapalibutan siya ng mga people who are sobrang jologs. I mean come on, hindi sa nangdidiscriminate ako, pero diba the environment right beside Trinoma are squatters? You'll see it's population via riding the MRT from North to Quezon Ave. Grabe ang laki ng space nila na tipong pag nilaglag ka ng helicopter sa gitna ng squatters area eh hindi ka na makakalabas ng buhay. I swear!

There was this time na I was riding the FX and the two people beside me were talking of the mall, and I'll quote one of their makatotohanang comment. '...pare 'pag ikaw nag-shopping sa Trinoma paglabas mo or pag-uwi mo wala ka ng dala...'

I am giving it...hmmm....2-3months before the mall would be infested by manlilimos. Darn those makukulit na batang hindi ka tatantanan. (Ho yeah, they've already infested the MRT stations. and I really hate them they're sobrang kadiri and jologs. There was this time na ginulat nila kami pag-open ng elevator, sabay agaw sa Zagu's nung nasa harap ko...how pathetic was that?)

Anyways, back to the mall inspection. The thing that I really hate about the interior is their flooring na mukhang tiles na pang-CR. Grabe ang pangit feeling ko nasa Isetann ako. It's sobrang hindi sosyalan. I don't know why pero I'm sobrang distracted talaga by the sobrang pangit na tiles. Damn.

The shops.
I must say, I give them kudos for the good boutiques and the likes. I was kinda wondering lang with Penshoppe kasi their billboard at North Ave. says na their flagship has landed na @ Trinoma, so I really went there first..pero hindi siya mukhang main store nila...Ang laki pa naman ng text na sinalampak sa ad nila Jericho that's advertising their shop sa mall...tapos I am sobrang not impressed. The one in MegaMall though is very very good. Sobrang ganda with the vignette at the entrance, ho my golly it's a must-see.

Folded & Hung.
I really hate their advertisement right outside their mall na sobrang daming life-size posters ng models wearing their line. It's kinda funny and distracting at the same time. Yes I admit masarap titigan ang mga mukah nung model, pero it's still better if you're gonna be 3-D about it. I'd still go for the realistic mannequins.
(And P.S. They have sobrang bad stock status. Lahat ng hinanap ko wala sila. I had to go to Shangri-La pa tuloy. Damn.)

Bench.
I'd give the shop an A++ for the mall space kasi I think their lot could occupy at least 2-3 stores na. It's that big. Plus everything's segregated excellently. there were areas for men, for women, for accessories, and for their undergarments. Very good Ben Chan. Pero here's my quam about the store. Yes it is undeniable na the store has divided it's section very well, pero the styling and fixing are not so good. They could do better pa. Pero I give them an A+++++ for the be-you-ti-fooolll couches. Ang lalaki, very comfy, and very sosyal. They kinda look like Ottomans pero very modern.


C.R.'s.
Wasn't able to go there pa. Had a hard time locating. Bilang lang ang signages considering the mall is sobrang brand-new pa.

Go make some!

The second floor, it kinda reminds me of MegaMall's ambience. Kulang na lang yung view ng Ice Skating Rink para Megamall na MegaMall na talaga siya.

So there. I wasn't able to go to the other floors pa kasi I am really bothered by the disgusting flooring.

Will update when the store is sobrang filled up na by stores and stalls.

Ta! :)

And P.S. The signage of TRINOMA outside the building, mukha siyang pang-call center. and very small. And very much not appealing, especially the colors. Pero who can we blame? Even the name is not catchy...You get the picture? I just hate the logo. That's it.

I smell SUCCESS

I was suppose to have my third and I hope the final interview @ Zara last Thursday sa Glorietta. Unfortunately, I have to re-schedule due to the stupid Father's Day set-up which btw, will consume my entire 1week next week. Pero I promise na this week, whenever wherever, I'll go to this interview na. I am waiting again for their call. Nakakahiya na lagi akong nagpapare-sched. Damn this complicated life I have.

Anyways, I am so dead tired waiting. Pero so far, (on personal analysis) I think I'm doing good with my interviews and on-the-spot tests. Come on I'm on my 3rd interview na, so give me props will ya?

I can't wait to make people suck at their kamatapobrehan and pride and show them that even if you're a certain big somebody in someplace, you can still care about the small ones. It's about time I goldify other people's lives.

P.S. I thank AMANG for the touching and inspiring comments like him seeing my dedication in what I do and he finds it sayang kung lilipat ako kasi he really likes what I do, whatever it is that I do, or kung gusto ko daw magpabalik sa Gateway sasabihin niya daw kay Boss, and the likes. You get the picture. I am really touched Amang. Pero things just need to change. Especially now na true colors are unfolding...

We'll still see.

Swirls & Turmoils

This will forever remind me of how much tampo I have over a certain powerful somebody. I've never felt sobrang nahihiya for myself..para kong nobody, as if never existed. Grabe talaga it was such an emotional turmoil.

Eto yung masakit eh, isang hierarchy lang ang nirerecognize ng taong to without realizing na kaming nagpapakamatay na kakarush ng things to do are sobrang this close na to dying.

Ang baho sa place, iisipin niya na baka mahilo yung mga hierarchy na wala naman dun. We were disregarded. Whereas kami wala pang tulog. May dumating na food, yung hierarchy na ito lang ang inalok at dinalan ng food. Kaming di pa natutulog diretso trabaho pa rin. Kahit break hindi inalok. Umaga na hindi pa kami umuuwi, ako pa napagalitan pati daw mga hierarchies dinadamay ko.

Hu-wat!?

As if I'm doing what I'm doing for fun. Kung sila gusto ng umuwi ano pakong the whole time pati lunchtime and breaktime sinacrifice lang just to meet deadlines.

Grabe I'll forever carry these swirls I have. Not only do I feel humiliated for being such an alila, pero I'll forever carry it to remind me never to do sacrifices again for unworthy people.

And with this, I bid goodbye.

You have been ungoldified.
