Nuffin'

I don't really feel like blogging today but somehow, every time I go online, my instincts would tell me to open a tab and hit blogger.com and check if there is anything new. Well, I am here now so might as well grab the opportunity to blab about a couple of things that happened in the past 2 days that I have been "away from the keyboard".

As I have mentioned over and over again, one of the main reasons that I was on AFK is because of the frequent power surges/outages. For the past few days, power would go out as early as 8am PHT (Philippine Time) and would come back on around 4 or 5pm PHT; and again, for some unknown reasons, power would go back out at 7pm PHT and would come back on around 10pm PHT--by then, its either I am having fun engaging myself into conversations with my sister or with a couple of good old friends, or I am asleep because of the deafening boredom that engulfs me that I would sacrifice going to bed, being bitten by killer mosquitoes, with the scorching temperature of my room that is caused more further with the unavailability of my trusty electric fan.

Aside from that, if I really get bored, I wouldn't even tempt myself and come near the PC and just sulk away at one corner and pop my favorite tunes on with my celly. So, there. Those are the reasons why I kept myself on AFK. haha.

RECENT ACTIVITIES: (Online)

1. Facebook-ing. The most effective way to bring a smile after a long and boring day or a tireless day at work; Facebook does relieve me from stress given that I am updated of what my friends are up to and that would somehow make me feel like they are nearby (not that we are really separated by distance that much or something...) and with that, it makes me realize that life really brings a lot of surprises in every turn. (While on Facebook) I play games and view other applications such as horoscopes and advices and stuff. Is there possibly anything new that you can do while on Facebook these days? I guess, NO. :P

2. I am a certified newbie on oDesk. I am not yet back at work; my leave ends on the 1st of November so I still roughly have a couple more days to go rather, a week, to enjoy my freedom. But nevertheless, I am not expecting anything more than that because I will be leaving my current company soon. Everything just got way out of hand and I don't know if things will be back to normal soon or not; all I know is, its about time that I venture off to new things. Explore the possibilities and look for that "greener pasture" that the world has to offer me. 

I know it would come off really difficult for me to leave the things that I am accustomed to and that it would mean that I would have to brace myself for a new change and I am ready for that. In order to be able to reach your goals, sacrifices must be made; and therefore, I am ready to make those sacrifices in one way or another and that I am more than willing to embrace that change even if it takes me to cross seas or travel far. Its now or never--and venturing into oDesk is one of those changes that I am looking forward to in the next couple of months or so. :)

3. Ditched my other service provider and switched to a new one. I got really fed up with my other service provider because messages get delayed for unknown reasons and that calls are unavailable for me to enjoy. Aside from that, the people I know who are under the same provider are somehow dead--figuratively. Yeah, they send me in messages and quotes and other stuffs but when I attempt to engage on a conversation (thru SMS), they suddenly disappear.

Its quite disappointing really so, I decided to switch to a network where only a few select friends (real ones) are around and that I would never have to be depressed when no one sends me a reply because I know, with my current service provider, replies would come in really fast and that calls can be made until your mouth runs dry from talking. 

4. (related to number 1) With my new service provider, I would never have to miss out on what's new with my friends because the network offers FREE AND UNLIMITED access on Facebook. Flaws: its a FREE text-version of Facebook so all I can access are comments, status updates and technically almost anything--except for photos and external links as it would mean that I would have to waste Php10 every 30 minutes just to view them (and buffering would take a minute or two) and enjoy them as I would on my PC. But, nevertheless, its a life-saver from boredom so I am happy that I made the switch. The H**L with my other provider; it can rot in the dumpster for all I care. haha. :P

5. Been watching videos on Youtube. I definitely have no choice so might as well enjoy the freedom of being able to listen to my favorite tunes in the background and do something else while I am at it. I don't really hop from one website to another so, I am contented with the pages that I open every time I go online. 

And now, I think its time for me to hit the sack because my brain is drained and my eyelids are starting to droop.

PS.

I am in love with the 'right' person right now but at the 'wrong' time. Ungh! why does this always happen to me? I am not liking it. I feel like giving up right this instant. :'(
