Rants...

Last night I got a phone call from a good friend of mine, and she was telling me about her job hunting experience. She is about my age, so that makes her 30..lol!, and she was trying to apply for a job that has a more fixed schedule. For quite some time she has been working on shifting schedule and she got tired of it. Like she would tell me - "it's hard working on night shifts". I felt for her, when she told me that she was having a hard time looking for a regular office job, because apparently most of the companies prefer younger people, or fresh graduates. It's either she goes beyond the age limit or she's over qualified. Now, the age limitation got me bothered. Seeing a friend not given a fair chance on a particular work because of the age made me feel bad. I feel that one's capacity to handle a particular job shouldn't be judged because of her age, and the only chance these companies give you to prove your worth is a very short initial interview and that's it. I wish this kind of practice should be stopped, because there's still a lot to learn in the more mature people.

We Might?

It's mid-week and I still don't know if plans for this Saturday would push through. I was supposed to meet up with two long time friends but apparently one of them has yet to check her schedule. Would want to move it to next week but I won't be available...Got to attend my nephews first birthday.....Now, I'm not sure when we can all meet up but I'm still hoping my other friend can make it this weekend...Oh well, there's about two more days to decide. :D

LSS

Lately, my music player has been playing Jason Mraz's song "I'm Yours"...such a cool and sweet song..It relaxes me everytime I listen to it. It's stucked in my head actually and it has become my de-stresser..lolz!

Song lyrics | I'm Yours lyrics

You're Beautiful

The first time I heard this James Blunt song, I cried....and I have no idea why.... Probably the melody or his voice maybe and that mushy lyrics..Love it! Can't help but share it...

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful, You're beautiful,
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful, You're beautiful,
You're beautiful, it's true,
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Reunion Preps

My high school class is celebrating it's 15th year reunion next year! and as early as now almost everyone's getting excited about the preparations. Our e-group has been burning with emails eversince talks on the forthcoming reunion started and it's nice that somehow through this we get to communicate with each other even if were "worlds" apart. Another site that's constantly being used is friendster - apparently the closest we can get to knowing what each one of us look like now....And mind you, not many of us have changed a bit..it's still so much like high school, only more mature.....and others were married....I just got off the phone with one of my former classmate and I'm looking forward for a batch night out, sometime in August. Now the point of discussion for the batch is what we want to do during the reunion..I'm suggesting an "80's Party"...If everyone agrees, I feel that would be a hit.After all, we all love the new wave era - 1 batchmate has a band who does new wave songs, and what a colorful night that would be - what with the wigs, sunglasses, and leg warmers.....lolz!

Amused....

My inbox was filled with email updates on what my contact on multiply has been uploading on her site. They were pictures of her recent vacation in Manila and the places they have been to. One of those posted was her picture with the country's comedy king. Now, that got me surprised or more so amused. Really, I find it amusing how some people are able to approach a celebrity and have a photo op. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against it, it's just that I envy those people who have enough courage to do so. Just like my friend. Because me - oh boy, I just don't have the guts! I've had many encounters with local celebrities, but even if I so wanted to have a photo taken with them, somehow I chicken out. I remembered I was watching a show of one of my favorite acoustic performer and I was hoping I could have a picture with him, but it was only after a lot of convincing from another friend and after seeing other fans having their pictures taken, that I was able to have a picture with him....and all because of my friend who literally drag me towards the singer....Now, when I look at that picture, I'm just glad I was dragged into it, otherwise I would have never stopped asking myself "what if".........lolz!
