Perfect question for me whose one day off falls on a Monday. Well, for this month that is.

My typical Monday off includes doing laundry, sleeping, going online (mostly the whole day) and TV/DVD marathon. In short, I'm a homebuddy and I rarely go out. So I obviously spend the day with the folks at home. When I do go out, I'd often go to the mall, mostly looking around for some stuff.

Speaking of Mondays, the upcoming one is actually a holiday in lieu of June 12th or Independence Day. So unfortunately I won't be getting any additional pay. However, I'm hoping the account will open overtime on that day and I won't hesitate coming to work, even for just four hours. Sana lang talaga.

*crosses fingers*

FYI, I'm answering the latter part.

I won't hesitate in adopting the baby, even if it's equated with more responsibilities and strict budget management. Sure, the child may eventually be makulit (which would cause my patience to easily snap out), but I'll definitely do anything I can for him/her to grow up with good values and fear in God.

As for the names, I always thought the name Nicky was cute. Plus it's unisex so whether my child is male or female, Nicky still suits him/her. Of course my preference changes from time to time, so I'll figure it out once I actually have a child. The big question is when. :P

Notice this post came out more than two hours after I found out the verdict. Gomen nasai, but I was too elated earlier to update my blog. Nahimasmasan na ako ngayon. Hehe.

Anyway...

CONGRATULATIONS DAVID COOK!!!

I really knew you would win. And you truly deserve it. Way to go, my dear Cookie! <333

Looks like Simon's reverse psychology worked! Lol. The waiting was quite tricky for me because I was only getting updates from liveblogging and forums. Apparently, our office's cable TV has no Star World. ~_~;;; I almost broke down and cry (here in my workstation) when the winner was announced. But I was able to hold back tears, instead, I threw my hands in the air and exclaimed "Yattadooo!!!" ("You did it!" in Japanese) while some of my officemates had mixed reactions with the outcome.

So there. Although I only managed to cast 175 votes, I'm so glad they had helped! If today happened to be my day off and watched the live telecast, I would imitate Shun Oguri's victory pose in Binbo Danshi and say...

VICTORY!!!

Sorry if this post sounds random. I just can't contain my happiness. (read: I'm in Cookie Heaven now! Haha!) I'll definitely be there when Cookie visits Manila.

*Nakao mode* HAPPY!!! ^_^v

OK. Back to work. I have tons to do today. Argh! And I have yet to see the finale. I have to watch it TONIGHT!

Somebody installed Skype on our home PC, so I finally decided to sign up an account. Peeps, please do add me up! My username's edgebaybeh. Yes... BEYBEH! Haha! Just tell me who you are (save probably for relatives and close friends) and I'll add you back. Otherwise, I have to ask first how did you find out about me. I'm careful of stalkers around.

Ewww on this entry's icon. But it's funny nonetheless. Hehe.

OK. Back to work.

Hmmm.. good question. I guess for yuppies like me, it's like where do I want to spend the rest of my life in. For this, I have three options.

1) Philippines - You know what? Despite all those unnecessary political noises, I'd still want to stay in the Philippines until God knows when. Although I'd prefer settling in one of those islands in Palawan and savor the bliss of living in there. I saw an episode of Trip Na Trip sometime ago and there are islands that are available for occupation. Of course, you have to buy the WHOLE island before building your abode. If I'm wealthy enough, I wouldn't hesitate getting one and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the beach most of all. Plus, I'd be away from the chaotic life in the city.

2) USA - I've been dreaming of going there since I was little. Of course back then I wanted to visit Disneyland, Universal Studios and other famouse places there. But as I grew, I wanted to know how is it like to actually live there. If I have that much MUCH money, I'd settle in somewhere in Los Angeles or San Francisco.

3) Japan - If you guys know me real enough, I guess there's no need for explanation here. But for everyone to know, let's just say my continuous fascination in that country, their culture and people is the reason I want to be one of their expats at least. It may take time for me to learn their language, but just the thought of myself residing there is good enough. Plus, I'd get the chance to see (or meet - hopefully) real cute guys, like HIM! Haha! Yes, he's my current crush object. (Sorry Tetsu, move over!) Blame me now for enjoying Hana Kimi too much. :P

For some reason, my summer excitement went down the drain. The culprit? Stress due to workload backlog. We're experiencing it for more than a week now, and we're completely toxicated already. Most of the time, I had to extend a few hours after my shift just to finish all my workload for the day. As result, I've been lacking sleep and I feel tired most of the day. In the midst of the backlog, I'm also undergoing a training for Quality Specialist. It will last for three months, and we have just started this week. So far so good. However, I couldn't put the lectures into practice due to... yes. Backlog. Oh, please! I don't want stress to take its toll on me.

Anyway, thank God for Wyeth. I think these free one week supply of Stresstabs I got from them will do the trick. Let's see. I need to look errr... un-stressed these days. I want to be prepared, well, just in case I bumped into someone somewhere.

Thank God also for Hana Kimi. That wonderful JDrama's (plus its soundtrack) capable of keeping my sanity, somehow.
