Nerdy me

With my highschool reunion just a few days away, a friend asked me, " e sinong first love mo?" To which I replied, "Tang*#ng first love yan!" ( I would have edited the swearing, but it wouldn't give the same effect when you read it!)

I didn't have any boyfriend back in high school. Only lots of crushes (I'd say we all have this..). I was the nerdy kind back then.. I belonged to those kids who came with all assignments answered, those who were frequently club officers. My classmates would pester me to show them my assignments. My guy seatmeate would even share his whole intermediate pad with me, tearing it in half with the aid of his laway (para straight! bwehehe!). I never had a failing grade then.. ooh!! I almost did! I was so busy with the Math and Science Club that I kept on skipping my Trigonometry Class (upon the request of the Club adviser, of course). I almost cried when my teacher said I got a 78, but then she said she could maintain my honor roll status if I gave her a new sci-calculator.. cool exchange huh?!!

Anyways, I was never considered pretty-- or social for that matter. All high schools have this "A group" of beautiful (or , in our case, feeling byutiful) girls and their partners strutting around campus as if they were godesses. I wasn't part of that group. I don't think I would have wanted to be part of their group anyways. With such a lot on my mind, who has time for that love crap! But I did have crushes, and sa pagkakaalam ko meron din namang nagkaka crush sakin (naks.) Life was just school and home. I cant believe I survived.

College turned out to be liberating for me. I got to be NORMAL. Sometimes I even turn out to be abnoy. hehe. And what happened to the nerdy me?? Shoosh. Gone. Kaput. But I'm happy, coz its great to experience life.. even when your drunk. he he. Specially when your drunk!

Friendster No More...

Almost everyone I know has a Friendster account. In the beginning, I was hesitant to join this “kulto” but then I was convinced so I eventually created an account. And since then, visiting this site has always been a welcome break from my usual work routine. Finding old friends from elementary and high school score very wide smiles from me—of course except that time when my most hated EX from college actually tried to add me as a friend! HELLO??!! The nerve of him to actually ask me again to be his friend, when I already rejected him the first time!! Super pindot ang lola mo ng NO button, as if the mouse was stuck or something!! Anyway, its really nice to be in touch with old friends.. Friends ha!! Heck! My officemate even found his old crush at Friendster, and they’re getting married next year!

Oh well, the happy days are gone. Yesterday seemed like doomsday when we discovered that our Company’s MIS department has restricted this particular site from being accessed by employees. Oh yes, you’re thinking what I’m thinking… MAYBE THEY HAVE NO FRIENDS. Going around the company grounds this afternoon confirmed that my department was not the only one affected by this issue.. hush hush conversations were evident and lipreading revealed the words “wala ng Friendster..”. I mean, its not like we don’t work at all… its one of those things that give you an energy boost at the end of the day. So much for being happy and creative around here… BLAH!!!

Welcome to Tariray's Adventures

I have always wanted to keep a journal of my life's little adventures (or should this word be prefixed with "mis-").. and have been inspired by my friend's (paruparong bukid ;) blog site. I thought, this is a great way for me to continuousely blabber to myself without even opening my mouth! After all, I am never really without any story to tell...
