status check: katz wants to travel.

i am officially in travel mode. i booked a flight to cebu in july with a few friends, plus a beach getaway on my birthday. i've never been a traveler and now i'm dropping a few out of town trips here and there. bakit kaya? diko rin alam eh. :)

sadly my vacation leave at work won't cover my desire to travel on a monthly basis. i'm definitely looking forward to going away for my birthday, i actually intended to just stay home but someone (?!? a dear friend of mine--i know you're reading this. hehe) offered to get away from the city for a while and who am i to refuse? :) and cebu pacific's round-trip flight to cebu in july costs P490! as soon as we found out, my friends at work immediately booked ourselves online! we don't even have an idea what are we going to do once we're there! bahala na si batman. hehe.

to be honest there's so much that i want to do this year. i want to travel, go to the gym, study again, keep my self busy until i pass out. so much to do, very limited time. domestic problems can be such a drag that's why i need to distract myself to keep my sanity intact.

i'd do anything to take me out of this country for even at least a week.

back to online gaming.

okay. its been more than 6 months when i gave up playing cabal. i felt sick of the game due to personal issues and i got rid of the game. i actually still have a premium account plus cash at that time but i didn't care. so, what prompted me to start playing again?

few days ago, my brother-in-law installed a new mmorpg game called 'destiny online' (www.destiny.enjoymmo.com) in my desktop pc and i tried signing in just to see how it looks like. it's pretty neat, but more for kids than adults. i tried searching around and came across 'fiesta online' (www.fiesta.outspark.com) which is actually very nice, but only the game client is international so you have all sorts of players from all over the world. i prefer online games with philippine client servers so as not to see weird languages in the chatbox and the characters can't understand each other due to language barriers.

on our way home, my good friend migs then casually recommended me to try this new game from level up games: ROHAN ONLINE. now this guy is not a fan of online games at all, not until now. hehe. he's ranting in his car how nice and interesting the game is and he's surprisingly addicted to it. coming from him, it intruiged me so i'm currently downloading the client now and hopefully have the chance to give it a try by tomorrow.

should i go back to my old online gaming habits? am i ready to give up my week-end night outs? depends if this game is worth it. :)

(okay, the game is taking forever to download! migs will just give me an installer dvd tomorrow, yey!) -- will keep you posted.

x.o.x.o.

vday allergy.

february 9th. 5 days before vday.

seems like the people around me are all the rage come valentines. what's up with that?

okay. i'm not bitter because i'm single. its just that, i've been in long term relationships and vday was really never a big deal for me and my then-partner. and with the way things are going with my life now, who needs a boyfriend?

#1. i party.

...rarely do i stay at home every rest day. i'm not exactly going out on gimiks, but i do hang out with a few friends and i make sure to be constantly surrounded by fun people. i'm getting good at drinking now, yey! hint: you can easily spot me at bf homes. Ü

#2. work can be very toxic.

...i got appointed as team officer-in-charge a month ago and i'll be handling my team next week. the roster has 90% of agents more tenured than i am and i'm panicking like a headless chicken now. part of me wants to revoke my rights and another part wants me to sing "i will survive." nobody told me that wearing a red lanyard comes with responsibilities bigger than pamela anderson's boobs. unbelievable.

#3. singlehood is for me.

...mushiness is the least that i want now. i hate the awkwardness of first dates. and besides, my mom and sibs have noticed that all the blessings happen to me when i'm single. a promotion to TSR 4 & an appointment to TOIC in less than three months of being single. not bad.

#4. vday is not just for lovers!

...and who says i'm not going out on valentines? i'm definitely not going at lova palooza to smooch some guy but i'm not staying home either. Ü

CHEERS TO BEING SINGLE!
