sabi nila masama daw mainggit

but i just can't help it. ----------- i should be in France now, the number one in my "countries to visit" list. Two of our games were shortlisted as finalists in the java challenge sponsored by Orange and Nokia, and as a sort of price, we were given invites to attend their Code Camp in France. I was the developer for one of the games, and the invites were supposed to be FOR US, the developers. but for some reason, my manager took one of the invites. so to avoid issues and just make the long discussion short, pumayag akong maiwan na lang. (Fact: nung pumayag akong magpaiwan, di ko alam na sa France pala yung event. engot! hay...) I felt ok with my decision until last week, i learned that manager wasn't allowed by the bosses of our company to leave (the main reason being what a manager like him, who doesn't even know how to zip files, will do in a code camp). Nakakainis, sayang lang yung invite, akin na lang sana di ba?! grr.. ---------- Last week, Faye told me that a college kabarkada of us (a former suitor of mine) just acquired a new car. I think he emailed her and even sent her some picture. Then again before, another friend of us (also a former suitor) told her that he just got a new girlfriend, the girl he'd been courting for so many years finally gave him a chance. These guys used to be my best friends, and I was their best friend too. Or so i thought. After all, the "best friendship" was only present during the panliligaw. it's just sad that i used to know a lot and more about these people than anyone else; but now it seems i'm always one of the last ones to know. Tapos kadalasan pa ng nangyayari, mas close na sila sa closest friends ko. i miss these people who i've shared a great deal and significant part of my life. I, or most probably my ego, just find it hard to accept that i'm just now "someone i used to know" person in their lives; or maybe lower. Di naman ako nagpapaligaw uli noh! I just want to be "friends" with them, at the least. i know that they know that i loved them, just not in the way that they wanted me to. Bitter ba sila?! ---------- i've been in this mobile game development company for over a year now and i haven't done a game of my own. i've always been the connectivity and network person; that's why my games usually require two developers when usually there's just one developer for one game. and now that i've been assigned a managing job, i find it harder now to assign a game to myself. i miss developing. Gosh, i even miss the frustration brought about by a "non-working yet can't find the bug" program. it's just sick! Note: nung monday pa dapat ang blog na to. absent ako kahapon so ngayon ko lang natapos. hihi!

i have a problem...

I'm having a VERY hard time falling asleep. Before, it takes me around an hour to fall asleep after lying down. But due to a stressful project since last month, it became harder to fall asleep. Now usually it takes me around 2 hours. But i'm afraid that it's getting worse. Last night, it took me more than 3 hours!! waah! i was so frustrated i wanted to cry. I'm seriously thinking of getting a prescription for some sleeping pills. waah!!

U.P. Fight!!!

haha! i can't believe it! UP just won against Ateneo earlier in the 2nd round of UAAP basketball games. And it's their 6th straight win. Ika nga ni officemate Pol, "baligtad na ata ang mundo". Well for me, even if they don't make it to the finals this year, i'm happy. "Panalo pa rin e!" this is something new for us mga Iskolar ng Bayan. wahaha! :)
