Things are better (a bit). I've just finished a visa application for the United States. I'm going to fly to Peoria, IL in two weeks (for two weeks worth of meetings).

The interview wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I waited in line from 8AM to 10AM for my turn. One by one interviewees before me would leave the room either baffled, confused, smiling, upset, mad, sad, etc. I didn't take long with the consul. He was quick and I answered the questions directly.

As you know, I got approved. Whilst other folks would get denied one of whom needed to go to visit her sister who's in a terrible condition. I felt bad for her.

I'm now getting myself ready for the trip. Getting my tickets and making my cash advances. I need money of course. I have also asked friends if there are things they needed from the US that I could buy for them.

The thing is, I'm not so excited for this trip. I know the responsibilities I would be incurring once I complete the tasks in the US. I'll be stuck with this project for a while. BUGGER!!!

In other news, our last volleyball game is tonight and I hope we win. If we do win, we'll be the top seed for the semi final matches and would have the twice-to-beat opportunity. I'm excited.

I am currently in a weird state... I'm confused. Confusion was never my thing.

In the next few weeks events could happen in my life that would change things completely (hmmm... I think I'm over-reacting). I was hoping to get to clear it all out in my head before I write but this whole blogging thing could help me sorting things through.

My career isn't really picking up and I'm not liking it anymore. Not getting promoted last year was a real downer for me. Not only that, but not having any sort of motivating factor got me thinking, am I where I want to be?

I used to think that when I do my job well, I will get rewarded. Sadly, it wasn't what I expected at all. It is this that makes me think of moving to a new company, a new job. I have been tapped by a friend to work for the company she's working for. It would still be in I.T. I think I'm liking the field but more the project management side of it. I'll see where the whole application thing takes me.

Also, I have talked about my plans of doing musical theater this year. I don't know how much time God will give me or if opportunities will come my way. This is something I really want to do and I just hope that I'll get a chance to do it.

I'm just not happy... :(

(In no particular order)

1. Get married (to my one true love -- obviously a guy!) and eventually have at least one kid (my own or otherwise)
2. Study fashion or interior design in New York and have my own show (ramp or exhibit)
3. Live in the following places for a good amount of time:
- Paris
- London
- Rio
- Madrid
- Venice
- Vienna
- San Francisco
- Miami
4. Take a flying tour of Antarctica
5. Perform as a lead in a major Broadway musical
6. Sing a duet with Regine Velasquez in one of her (future) major concerts
7. Make love on the beach with a major crush (famous or otherwise)
8. Pose nude for Bruno Gmunder after I have achieved my desired body type
9. Be in an orgy filled with all the men I've fancied over the years... hmmmm... or at least several of them
10... following the trend... I'll reserve this space for something special.

Wouldn't we all want to be in this locker room right now!!!!

I'm so sick of this blogger template. I wish I had time to change it! FUCK!!!!!! WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

For my honey...

THAT'S ALL
by Michael Buble

I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all,
That's all...

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all,
That's all.

There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love even time can't destroy.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all.

For my dear friend Angelo... feast your eyes on "Under the Tuscan Sun's" Raoul Bova.... YUMMMYYY!!!

I wish I was the bed... damn sheets make him look hotter!!!

A hectic, fun-filled Friday was capped with a sour note...

Friday morning was Greenhills for me and friends. Bought some DVDs of "So Close" (with Karen Mok), "Matrix 1", and "Hero" (Zhang Zhi Yi and Jet Li). Then it was lunch at Pasto one of the more decent Italian restos around.

We all then headed to Makati for some R&R... The Spa at Bel-Air... fun fun fun!!! When I checked the time it was already 5:45PM and we had to meet another friend (it was her birthday). We picked her up from the office and drove to The Fort for some amazing Indian food at Prince of Jaipur. You know an Indian Restaurant is good if Indians themselves swear by it.

Dinner was capped with a nice dessert at Pasto again (this time at The Fort). A cup of Lavazza coffee is always nice on a cold windy night. Finishing my drink, I knew we had to go since I'm catching a concert by 9PM at Onstage, "Songbird (Regine Velasquez) Sings Streisand".

The show was amazing... very classy!! What an artist! I love her!

After the movie I found out that my friend was still in Makati so I asked to hitch a ride with him. He said they were still watching a movie so I thought why not go with them. I found out that they were going to watch "Under the Tuscan Sun"... OH MY GOD!!! Can you say AMAZING MOVIE!... Add to that the spectacularly gorgeous Raoul Bova... YUMMMMMMYYY!!!

Sour note is now sweet. I'll talk more about that tomorrow.

I have now been in my current project for almost a month now and things are just slow since I'm still learning the ropes. I'm not complaining. I like the "rest". Recently, I've been conversing with an office mate of mine who's been through so much career wise and funny thing is, he is also thinking of moving on. I have been contemplating that for more that two months now but I'm just timing myself so that I know I won't make a premature step.

Next year would be exciting. I heard from a friend that West Side Story is coming up. I want to audition mostly because I'm more akin to the voice type required by the musical, classical. I won't mind being a chorus boy, I'd love it actually. I'm sooooo excited. I can't wait. Wish it were soon.
