...even though I have deadlines... ...even though I lack sleep... ...even though I am tired and busy... ...because my team won. YEY! ...because not quite my BF's mother likes me... a lot! ...because my blogs are doing well.

Maria "Ria" A. Jose WON!
I joined the Filipina Writing Project and won. Well, I didn't really win for my blogging/writing skills. But I got a Wordpress Shirt thanks to Noemi! More importantly, the entire project was a big success. Thanks to all the organizers, sponsors, participants, and other people who supported the project! Maria "Ria" A. Jose IS A PROUD FILIPINA!
Being Emo
...SUCKS BIG TIME!!! HAHA! While it's kinda cathartic and helpful to articulate my sad feelings via my blog... I don't like it. Haven't you noticed that ost of my emo posts are usually un-ti-tled? Probably coz I'm not thinking right when I'm emo. Unlike some people who think and write well and clearly when they are feeling emo... I apparently do not. So I'll try to stay as much as possible from this "Write Post" page when I feel emo, unless I feel like really writing something profound or heartwarming... or at least something cohesive enough that I can put a title to.

Finding a Place To Stay
When I was in college in Manila, I had quite a hard time looking for a place to transfer to. Initially, I was staying at my aunt's house but it was three rides away from school. Before I entered my third year in college, I was lucky enough to find a nice one-bedroom condominium unit right across my university. Although it was a bit cramped for me and my roommate and it was a bit too expensive, it was perfect for us. When I decided to move out late last year, I had a hard time looking for dormitory, apartment, or boarding house that would fit my budget and my space requirements. I didn't have a large budget so it was hard trying to find a space with the right size, security, privacy, and other amenities. I was lucky enough, though, to be referred by my friend to the boarding house she was staying in. It was perfect for my budget and other requirements. I got a spacious room all for myself, for a low price. The boarding house also has a common area where I am able to watch cable television. We also have clean CRs and shower rooms.…
DotA > Work
After ranting that I will be super busy this weekend, Kuya Andrew invited me to play DotA last night. And, well, I junked my work schedule and played DotA. Got to play with some of the best Manila players. Given that, I sucked BIG TIME. But I had fun. We finished playing at around 2 am, went to McDonald's for drive thru, went home then slept. NOT! Upon arriving home, I worked until... 6 am. RAWRRR! Shouldn't have played DotA at all.
