Sari Saring Thoughts

// July 27th, 2007

Watching Meteor Garden, particularly Meteor Garden 2, got me depressed so much for a few days after coupling that habit with too many sleepless nights spent working (pretending to be workaholic again ). Sleep deprivation and watching Dao Ming Si (Jerry Yan) lose his memory of Shan Cai is a fatal combination I must say. I even hinted to my brother, my youngest brother who can never be talked to about anything serious, that if I’m not Alfa, I think no anti-depressant will be able to abate suicidal thoughts. How stupid can I get, right?

Is it mid-life crisis, the sucky online banking system of BPI, too many revision requests, or going overly giddy over a new gig that’s causing me to feel this emotional roller-coaster?

Did I say mid-life crisis? I’ve been ranting that I’m suffering from mid-life crisis when I don’t really what it actually is. Is it lack of direction? Boredom? Relationship gone plateau? Or just a stage of crazed hormones somewhat like mid-menopause? I think I manifest all the symptoms!

Did I say sucky BPIExpressonline? This is the second time BPIExpressonline did me wrong. Yesterday was a matter of life and death, financially for many of my co-writers. And, when I’m about to transfer their payout, vooom!!!, a prompt said that my account has not enough funds for any transfer. But my account reflects enough funds for transfer and I understand that like many customer service systems of any company, it won’t help much to call BPIExpressonline’s hotline. So I again went out today to be able to deposit payouts via transacting with tellers. What’s the use of online banking if you have to go to tell the teller that there’s something wrong with their online system and they’ll just shrug because they know nothing about such issues?!

Did I say new gig? Yes. I think I bagged a new project. It’s more of doing some virtual assistant chores. The tasks are quite easy since most of them requires me to work on social sites, which I definitely enjoy using. Another fun time job to get busy with.

To get rid of all those bad spells I’ve been dealing with for these past few days, I went to BioEssence today to get my much-needed facial treatment. Just to be surprised that their basic facial now costs Php600 when it’s just Php300 a few weeks ago. But I discovered that it now includes a relaxing half-body massage. So, yeah, not bad.
