ArchiCAD Rocks

Our office has been sponsoring ArchiCAD classes for a week now, and I am absolutely infatuated. Haha. :) It's so easy to use, it's so convenient, and it's so friggin' BRILLIANT! Imagine, I was able to draft a whole house (plans, elevations and sections) in just 4 days!!!

Brilliant, I tell you. Absolutely ingenious.

U-nibersidad ng Pilipinas!!!

Ang galing talaga ng U.P.

Wala akong masabi. Smile lang ng smile. :) It's such a great feeling to be on the winning side!!!!

I've done nothing but brag about the win to anyone who would listen. I swiped the sports section from the office's copy of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and I've been showing everyone the headline: Maroons shock Archers. (come to think about it, they probably shocked everyone else, too!)

When UP won against UST, I had to keep my glee bottled up all day...Baka kasi dumugin ako dito sa office, puro UST mga kasama ko dito. Hahaha. :p At least now I can brag about our victory! HAH!!!

I just hope (please, please, please) that they make it to the finals. It's UP's turn to be winners once again!!! After a looooong hiatus. Hahaha. :)

U.P. FIGHT!!!

*U-NIBERSIDAD NG PILIPINAS (4x)
Matatapang Matatalino
Walang takot kahit kanino
Hinding hindi nagpapahuli
Ganyan kaming mga taga-UP!*

Aaaah!!! Best cheer ever. It really gets the adrenaline going! Go U.P.!!! :)

Please forgive me if I celebrate to the max. Bihira lang mangyari to sa U.P. noh...so pagbigyan. :p

Time To Take A Stand

I have always been wary of voicing out my opinions when it comes to political issues. I don't really make it a point to keep abreast of current affairs (I know, I know...apathetic and selfish of me...) because I'd rather not start (or end) my day feeling frustrated over things I cannot change. It's kind of hard to state your opinions on something you really don't understand completely...and I would rather keep quiet than speak out and get embarrassed from my lack of knowledge.

But at the back of my mind, I know that I would have to say something, sooner or later. Chances are, some people may not like what I have to say; some may not care; while some may agree on some points and disagree on others. But then, that's why it's called an opinion: Nobody really thinks the exact same way...

So my take on the GMA scandal?

What Pisses Me Off

Since I've been in a generally wretched mood the whole week, let me just enumerate the things that really get my blood boiling. In other words, let me just rant.

What Pisses Me Off (in no particular order)

* * * *

People who whine and complain about their situations but never ever do anything about it. You complain that you don't have any savings and then a moment after, you buy overpriced food and the weekend after, you buy a pair of really expensive shoes. No savings? Yea-huh! No wonder!

People who use "It just happened! I couldn't help it!" as an excuse for their behavior. For your information, things do not just happen unless you want them to happen. You have a choice. You always have a choice. And if you make the wrong choice, you not only have to acknowledge the mistake, you have to rectify it.

Angas drivers who think they can outrun my precious car. Eat my dust, you punks! Drivers here are just so ruuuuuuuuude! If only you could hear all the profanity I shout inside my car whenever I encounter road pigs like you...

People who think they're all that but really aren't anything at all. Feeling guwapo and feeling pretty people are under this category. Newsflash: If you proclaim to everyone that you're pretty or pogi, then chances are, you're not. :p

"Self-proclaimed" bitches. Yeah, so you can raise your eyebrows and you can talk trash about people, but can you bring it on? Being "bitchy" is different from being a "bitch." All girls can be bitchy. All girls can be a temporary bitch at certain moments in their lives. But only a select few can actually earn the recognition of being a lifetime bitch. So, what's this I hear about you telling everyone that you're a bitch? Is this some sort of way to glamorize your sorry-ass self? Puhlease. Excuse me while I gag.

Wrong grammar! Ok, so it doesn't really piss me off per se. It just irritates me a bit. I mean, why, WHY use English when you don't even know how? Spare yourself the embarrassment (and spare all of us the agony!), and just stop using words altogether. People who don't know how to spell fall under this category. Can I just laugh at you?

People who go on and on and on about useless, senseless things. You're just wasting my time. Instead of talking, why don't you do something useful for a change. Like, work, for example? And, excuse me? I'm not dumb. I don't need you to repeat everything that the other person just said.

Realizing that I'm wrong. Yeah, that just sucks. I spend all this energy hating you and then I realize that you're actually ok. I hate you for telling me that I'm horrible, and I hate you even more for being right about that. However, right as you may be about me, you're not "Little Miss Perfect" either. I didn't do all of the bad things. You were pretty horrible yourself. ADMIT IT!!!

* * * *

I need to work on my anger management. I was never this wound-up. At least not this often. What has happened to me? I've become a raging, ranting woman!!! But it feels good, in a way. Now, instead of thinking "Oh no! He hates me! I feel so bad!" I can actually say "So what? Who gives a fuck?" Hahaha. From emotional-paranoid-wreck to angst-ridden-hot-tempered-wreck. That has got to be an improvement, right?
