Business is booming.
Hello, my dears!
I was about to take a bath this afternoon (after pretending to be working out) when my phone rang.
It was Mario from DTI-BPS.
Mario, always the bringer of good news.
"Hello..."
and he went talking about my winning entry last october and that they will be sending my entry to an international essay writing contest sponsored by ISO.
It sounds delicious, go on.
I actually heard "IPO" (Intellectual Property Office) and so I thought I needed to sign some papers. Or, the thought of another radio (or possibly TV?) guesting came to mind.
Okay, so I have to modify my entry a bit to suit the theme given by ISO.
Here's the really juicy part that got me all interested.
1. Finally! A chance to represent the Philippines in an International thing. (I almost did before, but I realized I really couldn't write a play on Philippine Immigration to Hawaii.)
2. A chance to win 3000 Swiss francs, or 1000 Swiss francs or even just 500 Swiss francs wouldn't be bad at all.
3. That's not all! (Call right now and you'll receive the limited edition - huh?) I may also get the chance to go to Canada.
Canada - which reminded me of something, and, err someone.
I like freebies! Especially travel freebies! Well, I don't spend anything during family trips but I've always wanted to go abroad with someone else paying for everything! Haha.
So maybe, I shouldn't be so disappointed about giving up my shot at this year's Palanca Awards. God really loves me.
Maybe this is His way of saying - "Neng, CAREER MUNA BAGO LOVELIFE!"
Ha!
If this is the compensation for all the sucky things that ever happened to me as far as relationships go - Juice ko Day! I love being single! (for now ha!)
At bakit naman napunta dito ang usapan? Dahil yan dito -
In other news... My neighbor, semi-childhood friend and former pre-school classmate Tatum just had a suicide attempt this very afternoon.
He downed 13 tablets of biogesic in one go - all with a swig of beer as I've heard. I saw him being carried out of his house. Grabe! Lupaypay talaga!
The reason? Uhm, he had a fight with his girlfriend.
Two points:
1. That's shallow! Gaaah! I'm not here to judge, but that's not a very good or noble reason to try killing yourself. I've done some pretty stupid things myself, all because of random stupidity over "love", but the worst that I have done so far was to cut my hair really short. (So now you know why I suddenly chop my hair off... hehe..)Oh, I also set my carpet on fire. That counts as stupid, right? Anyway, I really wouldn't even dare to think about killing myself because of some sucky, egoistic guy who doesn't like talking about certain issues and likes leaving one very clueless -
wait lang.. Hindi pala ako ang issue dito.. Balik na lang tayo kay Tatum.
2. That's weak, man! Bakit naman biogesic? If you've gathered enough courage (and insanity) to commit suicide, aba'y itodo mo na! Dapat sana Racumin na lang o kaya nakinig siya non-stop ng mga CD ng Sexbomb Dancers.
Hay naku, Tatum.
We went to pre-school together. We sort of grew up together, since our grandmothers were very close. Apparently, we were not very interested in each other. So after pre-school, no one tried to remember about him wearing a towel on his back (superman style) and about me always wearing my hair in pigtails that go way above my forehead.
What ever happened to that guy?
To think na partners pa naman kami bilang Mr. and Miss New Zealand nung nursery. Take note! Best in float ata kami nun ha! With matching cows and pasture effects.
Akalain mo yan? Ako? Miss New Zealand??
Sabay humirit ang impakto kong Tito - "baka yung sa aboriginal part.. hahaha!"
At least naging Miss New Zealand ako!!!!
