it wasn’t me

Posted by: michelle on: Thursday, November 5, 2009

earlier, a conversation like this transpired…

her: あさみ、良い香りだね。
me: … (i was in the middle of processing what she was saying and the mind reader that they are, she asked again)
her: this morning, you have fragrance that is good
me: 本当か
her: うん、パフューム?
me: いいえ。
her: 本当?そうですか。
me: たぶん、その香りはクワバラ‐さんの。。。
her: ああ、そうですか。
me: はい。that is lotion…

romeo take me somewhere

Posted by: michelle on: Thursday, October 29, 2009

i hate the song Love Story by Taylor Swift.  aside from it being overplayed everywhere, i don’t find depth in the lyrics, and i find the beat too cutely pop.  i am not convincing anyone else to feel the same disgust with the song coz my criterias are radical.

i used to hear it everywhere. “used to” because of the newer and equally annoying ‘you belong with me’ is overtaking the airwaves.  im starting to hate taylor swift and im becoming an old grumpy woman (tiguwang daotan, nga dli karelate sa mga batan-on).  the music choices of the younger generation is sickening.

language barrier

Posted by: michelle on: Wednesday, October 28, 2009

is pissing me off.

i am very pissed at the fact that we have a task, but we can’t start at all since we are only able to understand 2 pages of the 1st (of 3) requirements documents.

*interupt: cmon, what really happened that ticked you*

fine.

it was when they had this short meeting, all of them AND we weren’t part of it.  i guess they were already giving out the module assignments.  maybe they thought it as useless to include these 2, they won’t even understand us.

its frustrating because its been 2 weeks and we haven’t done any direct project related tasks.  we cannot join in the designing just because of our shortcomings of the language.  what a waste of money, time, and talent.  they are paying for our trip here, yet we haven’t produced anything.  we are spending our time here, doing nothing directly related to the project, when we could have used it in helping creating the design documents.  and a waste of talent, because we know we are capable of making good designs, yet, we are treated as though we’re fresh graduate students.  what a waste…

no 20

Posted by: michelle on: Monday, October 26, 2009

      rain
           wind
                  window
      a lullaby and not

i am not a fan of rainy days (i wonder how many times ive mentioned this), except when im at home.  coz rainy days means lazing in the bed and get yourself as much sleep as you can.

today’s not just rain.  typhoon no. 20 as what the tv said.  the wind keeps banging on the window pane, and the rain sounds like a faucet not properly turned off.  i tried looking out the window but all i see is mist with some droplets of water gathered at the base of the pane. 

i closed my window back, it was a little scary hearing and seeing how strong the typhoon is.  but somehow, it made me want to hide under my bed sheets and drift fast to sleep. 

please let tomorrow be a bright day!‘, i bid goodnight to Him.

it’s friday i’m in love

Posted by: michelle on: Friday, October 23, 2009

yeah! im in love! with fridays.

coz tomorrow’s saturday meaning, i don’t have to wake up early.  i can take time to sleep a little longer, a little more longer to be able get that fully charged body.

i love my bed.  i love my sleep.  i love covering my entire body with the sheets.  i love curling up even if im all covered up with my blanket.  i love it when i open my eyes, i can see that it’s already morning, but too early to get out of bed, reason enough to get back to my dreams.  i love it when i once again wake my eyes, it’s almost lunch time.  i sit up, think of what to eat, or if i even want to eat.  or should i just take a bath and then eat.

see, im in love!

in a state of…

this is my third time coming to japan.  i think i should be writing more about my visits, during my stay here, since i got lots of time, and lots of ’sleepy moments’ to avoid.

feeling rich

Posted by: michelle on: Monday, September 7, 2009

(^_____^)

indecisiveness is one of the talents im not so proud about.  example, when it boils down to what i’ll go for when i face the dilemma of buying things with a tight budget, i end up not buying any of them.

the oc

Posted by: michelle on: Thursday, September 3, 2009

work’s starting to get crazy.  so little time so much to do.
i need to do my reports, translate the test specs, research tools for automating GUI testing, etc.
we have to do those within today but there’s just no way of doing even any one.

wait, that’s not right.  there are lots of time.. wasted.

we’ve so much to do here but we can’t quite use some time because it’s spent on long useless meetings.

why am i ranting? because the system testing supposedly started last tuesday.
it’s already thursday but the test procedure still has to be decided. how awful is that?
or is it just me gotten used to OC-ness and tailored procedures for efficient work flow.

really, it ticks me that there are no test procedures, no bug handling procedures,  no test plan, nothing!
all that, has to be decided today.  and we’re like 2 days delayed!!!  i could totally turn into sheldon cooper (freaking out over howard sitting on his spot) right now.

it is true, you wouldn’t miss something until it’s gone.
aaahhh…. i miss my cid japanese counterparts.  they were so much more systematic than our new counterparts.

coffee

Posted by: michelle on: Wednesday, August 26, 2009

coffee

i love coffee.

i always have one for breakfast, and occasionally goes to coffee shops to spend time with friends.

but it always makes me sleepy.

yes, it makes me drowsy in about 15 minutes after drinking a cup.  shouldn’t caffeine be a stimulant?  or is it just me?

really, after drinking coffee in the morning, i get sleepy which is why im making this post right now since i can’t control my eyelids from shutting down.  why i drink it still? because of it tasting good with bread.

and then the coffee shop sessions aren’t entirely because of the coffee.  its more of the chat for long hours especially when im in a bad mood.

and then this morning, my narcolepsy attacked while “pretending to read” on a certain network simulation tool.  argh!!! i did have coffee today… and yesterday.   so that’s why im very very sleepy.

after all, its not due to lack of sleep but coffee.  and, i know im a bit weird.

“different strokes for different folks” indeed.
