Auspicious Office

So after leaving the Makati business district, i've found work that is closer to my house. It is a bit of a downgrade from my previous art directing stint but heyy, at least i still earn something. the office is kinda great actually, the internet has barely no filtering scruples and i barely work over time (though that is still to be determined).
in terms of plans though i dunno. i plan to go back to school again or try go abroad or try to exist while thinking of what to do next. ahhh everythings in a puddle i just want to stomp.

right now i seat in front of the monitor, behind it is a window with a view. its not a landscape really just a wall of leaves, swaying, rustling, whatever. the weather's acting funny too, rain-shine, rain-shine, rain-shine when i wish it was overcast. beside me is a (really ) cheap radio i bought. ive decided to christen her "Radio". Radio, she tries to keep me company, shes great, i can make her shut up anytime then let her speak when im in the mood. whoa imagine if that was a relationship, no drama, less complications--though i wouldnt really know i've never been in a serious one.

so i seat here in front of my monitor thinking what should i do next, anticipating inspiration, surprisingly, happy to be alive. its sunny now. "a poem as lovely as a tree" true, coupled with an acoustic version of "1979" courtesy of Radio orchestrates an appropriate sigh time.

sigh*

i go home in a couple of hours to do this all over again, indefinitely. no fuss. oh by the way a friend of mine promised to give me a copy of enduring love by ian mcewan--actually its more of a book exchange but im happy none the less. its funny that i find the airconditioner's hum coma inducing. its only when i started working that i got exposed to this static background noise for long periods of time. and i can imagine how it can make someone crazy. its a long zzzzzzzzzzmmmmmmmzzzzzzzzmmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzmmmmmmmmmmm
that stays in the background it digs to your ears--till Radio tries to drown it out. Radio, ur a lifesaver.

my requested song on the radio (not Radio) got played a few hours ago as well. the DJs were pretty swell. a song from my college days. at that time i brought this protable radio everyday to school, mp3s werent popular then. and i remember how it always made my day, especially the time time when i was at the library doing paperwork. it has a line that goes, "are you listening to the radio?" or more rhetorical rather. i love it.

ok back to work.
