We Now Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Program

Fuck! My awesome weekend was stolen from me!

After a weekend of beach bliss, I was greeted by a Monday of grief and separations, and a week of ball-busting useless capitalist shit. OK, I will admit I am a sissy girl and being technically single this Valentine's gets to me. So, I filed for a few days of leave to just sulk and wallow in self pity, fix some gifts, go boxing and maybe a bit of basketball, but I might not be even allowed that seeing that there's a mountain of tasks to be done. Now they add even more crap on my heaping plate!

Add to that, this will be the third time that my team quits. No one has turned anything over to me yet and I don't think they will, but how come the people I like at work, leave me? What's worse, the supposed "replacement" sucks ass big time. It's one thing to not contribute, but talk about pulling the team down. Plus, my friends/teammates that are leaving, are such wonderful people that I am scared if I find such type of human beings again. Fuck.

Also, I am self-confessed hopeless romantic -- and it fuckin' sucks that I am the only single guy in our entire floor! (I'm exaggerating of course, there's probably 5-7 of us, but I'm the only one in the immediate vicinity.) The past few days, I've been hearing planned dates to Antonio's, Santi's, Red, etc. while I can even plan something at Aysee's. I hate this. I want a bed and breakfast too, you know. I want a reason to pour my heart out in a poem and recite it by the riverbanks (of Marikina). I want to line up to buy over-priced flowers and get stuck in traffic going to over-booked restaurants. Sigh. I may celebrate Valentine's all-year long, but it's nice to actually label someone as a "Valentine", a "Muse", or a "Significant Other". Maybe next year.

Sorry for the rants. Later after the jump, I'll feature Manong Bobot's Art Exhibit and maybe more of Laiya Masterful Craziness. Thank God you and my dear, dear Hereforders saved me last night. I was this close shooting myself in the head over lunch yesterday in the office!
