NO WAY

checked out SAM @Glee.

You have got to be KIDDING me!

I don't have anything against Sam Milby or anything, really. But the fact that he has the guts and the nerve to seriously audition for GLEE is way too much! Crap! Crap! Crap! And another CRAP!

Coffee, anyone?

Changes

[caption id="attachment_1034" align="aligncenter" width="590" caption="Are we there yet?"][/caption]

I knew that this day would eventually come. I just hid it somewhere at the back of my head, I guess. A day when the young ones will be forced to take bigger things seriously than ever. A day that marks the start of hard-hitting and painful reality. A day that will definitely change everyone's unique perspective. Unfortunately for me, I never knew that it would come so sudden.

Wow. I'm still in awe. Seriously.

Back in the good old days, we were as carefree as a group of toddlers in a crowded sandbox; build a nifty sandcastle here, throw a broken shovel there, and fight over a spare pink bucket. Simple, eh? At times, temper-tantrums would erupt from a jaded little girl in a corner cursing everyone in the homey sandbox.

"I will get y'all someday! I promise!" she said.

Giggle. Giggle. Giggle.

Of course, the ever patient teacher will eventually call out our names in an authoritative manner and ask us to say our most sincere apologies.

"Sorry na. 'Di na namin uulitin. Bati na tayo, okay?" we said in unison.

Of course, as toddlers, we tend to kiss each others cheeks, make up and start anew as if nothing happened. End of story.

Now, everything is about to change.

In a matter of weeks, days even, a big change will shake the very foundation of my professional career. Together with my young and feisty co-workers, I am about to embark into the abyss of adulthood, maturity and extra-responsibility. Full-time, perhaps. Its only a matter of time till I drown my head and heart out. Crap.

Will I be able to survive this herculean task? Well, probably. A couple of scratches here and bruises there won't hurt, right?

I'll live. Eventually. :-D

I never knew that this day would actually come. Fortunately, it did and I am so happy about it! Yipeeeee! :-D

Being able to see and feel the City of Alexandria first hand was a very wonderful experience. The locals were accommodating, transportation was a breeze, the sights were phenomenal, and the seafood extravaganza was extremely astounding! Talk about prawns, for crying out loud! Haha.
