Evidence

Here's a picture of the United Blue Team, take note of the alcohol on the table... hehehe, ''Go Team United Blue!''. This was at Blue Cafe (the boss owns this place), and this was a get-together just a week after I started the job. I had just gone to Rhodes that day and burned myself at the beach.

If the person who missed their transfer on this day finds this picture, then here's the evidence... the photo comes complete with the date and the time!-Eep...Hahaha!

Office Grind

Groggy 9am morning... spilled coffee on the documents... feeling the pangs of being 27... haven't been paid last month's wages... dealing with dumbass English folks over the phone... thanking God that it's over the phone... why did I have those 2 vodka cokes last night?... missing Suat... why am I not married yet?... stupid co-workers... great co-workers... when is rent due?... eating lunch at the desk... missing the sun and the beach... I could give for those 2 vodka cokes right now... eating my brain with ketchup and mayonaise... don't forget to call Daddy for Father's Day... No-shows, Go-shows, emergency calls... don't call the emergency phone if it's not an emergency!... highlighter ink on everything, including my clothes... sneaking ym chats... answering complaints... damn operation department... flirting with the 21 year old officemate... gossiping with Eva... more coffee... eating chocolate at the desk... my stomach has a balcony now... I'm fucking good at my job... where did the time go?... last minute reservations... I want to start smoking again... who changed my printer settings again?!... time to go home and accidentally fall asleep on the couch... I'm hungry... but I've been eating all day!... ''kolay gelsin''... see you tomorrow... wish I had the energy to party... wish I had the money to party...

Reminiscing...

Wow, it took me forever to re-claim my blog site. I even wonder if people still read the adventures of the Germansnake, although this alias has hung her cape regarding her poker days. There was a time I dreamt, slept, ate, lived, sexed poker... I still miss those days. I'm proud the say that I was part of the pioneers that started the whole mania in Manila. Even helped and ran the JG Poker Tour back in the dinosaur era, with Miguel. Ah Miguel, he has gone places regarding poker... and I envy him. Envy him for sticking it out, envy him for the bonds that he built with the poker crew, envy him for doing what he loves, envy him for the places he's been and the things that he has done. I miss Manila, I miss poker, and I miss him. Yes, I know that it is safe enough to admit that here since nobody graces my blog anymore. He was the bestest friend I ever had and it eats my insides to think that I won't be able to re-claim our friendship again or any other friendship that I left behind on the felt. Will I be welcomed if I come back? Will they treat me like a stranger or an old friend? Being 27 has made my brain do a 180 about priorities... when I was 21, I looked ahead into the horizon, but turning 27 last month has made me look in the rearview mirror of my life; the mistakes I made (were they mistakes?), the choices I made (in love, in work, in friendships), all I think about is going back in time and asking God if I can have a ''do-over''. I read this fantastic book, I HIGHLY recommend it, called ''The Time Traveler's Wife''. No matter how much he goes back (or forward) into time, he can never change it. It's as if he's traveling through movie where he can only watch the events as they happen. The character, Henry, feels as though he's chasing time, and that's exactly how I feel, without the Chrono-Displacement Disorder. Crap, I just googled it and it's a freakin' movie already, why can't Hollywood just leave some things alone!! READ it first before you head to the theaters.
Feels great to blog again.
