butterpillar effect

Yes, I have a new layout.

Hindi halata noh? Total makeover. Cluttered pa rin, but I feel much improved ang version na ito. It's what I have been doing for the past weeks so I kinda detached myself from doing posts.

And Paul, this isn't the gurly-type of layout I told you on the tagboard. Hindi bagay sa image ko. Hindi naman ako gurly. If that happens, magugunaw ang buong mundo. Nope, ang kalawakan pala. Hehe.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ko sinusulat ang post na ito. Actually, I just want to shout out na, "BAGO ANG LAYOUT NG BLOG KO HA-HA-HA-HA--HA-HA (mala-Mandark *from Dex's Lab* na tawa)!!" That's just the purpose of this post.

Wala naman ako maikwento. Ganun siguro talaga pag work. It seems like you are enclosed in this mechanical stage of your life. You wake up at 6:10 a.m. You take a bath for 15 minutes. You dress yourself for about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how fast you could decide on what to wear. By 6:45, if you get lucky in picking your outfit for the day on the first try, you heat up refrigerated food from the microwave - one for breakfast and the other you pack for lunch. Or sometimes, you don't feel like eating that you just pack some mints or M&Ms in a ziplock bag and a bottle of water; hoping that it would be enough to satisfy your appetite during break time.

The clock strikes 7:10 or 7:15, and you should be done eating your breakfast by that time. You brush your teeth for five minutes or so. Then sometimes, you kneel down on the carpeted floor to dry your hair using the dryer (syempre, meron pa bang iba). Or at times, due to laziness, you'll just have to pull your hair up coz the hair won't "cooperate" with you that morning.

Usually, you'll be done by 7:25. You go to the bathroom again to put a little touch of powder on your face, or cheeks, or forehead, and maybe a little blush-on sometimes. The lip balm sometimes help too, although you know that it wears out easily before you could even arrive at the office. You still smear them on your lips anyway.

At 7:40, you should be leaving the house and waiting at the bus stop which is just two to three streets away. It's supposed to come by 7:45, and if you're lucky, you won't have to wait under the sweltering heat as if you are standing under a spotlight as big as the sun.

You get to the College Station by 8:10, or maybe past that. You sometimes listen to your iPod, or read a book when you think your head could take it before info overload from work starts. It's 8:20, the 56 Bus going to Priest Drive arrives. You talk to Mark, the bus driver who has become your friend throughout the past two months that you've been riding on his bus. And also maybe because both of you watch American Idol - same interests can help conversations keep on going.

Before 9:00, you arrive at the office. Walk maybe another two to three streets before you could get to the building of the insurance company's word processing division, which is found on the third floor of that building. You surrender your I.D. to the guard and he gives you your "badge." You flash it on the sensors to open the door, get inside, walk through the break room and wait until it's 9:45 a.m. to start the real fun for that day - work.

Hah. I've got to get off of this routine.
Well, at least bago ang layout ko hehehe. That's not usual.

And no, I haven't seen the movie "Butterfly Effect." It has got nothing to do with the title of this post.
