Deadly duo

1. a walloping case of pms
2. a sh*tload of requirements for the launch of a new season

do not a happy strumpet make.

pota. i'm learning the hard way just what goes into launching a new show (or in my case, a new season of a long-running show). there are all these requirements for monday that i only realized i had to do TODAY. nyaaaargh.

the deadly duo of pms and work is creating in me a serious, potentially debilitating urge to go shopping. i have decided to get myself a new pair of work-friendly pants or bermuda shorts, a hipper laptop bag and a new book. i may or may not throw a pair of sandals and a bronze blusher into the bargain. it doesn't seem i'll have any free weekends in the immediate future, though.

in the meantime, thankfully, there are little pleasures one can cling to, such as:

1. the Chicks walloping the Dude in the almighty ratings game. that despite some extremely fake ratings going around. girl power!
2. when i sent a congratulatory text message to my program manager, she replied: "congrats to us! u r also part of the team!" awww.
3. the magic of chocolate -- especially if it comes in a large gold can labeled godiva and can be dissolved in a cup of steaming milk
4. a hearty helping of grease in the form of a mcdonald's cheeseburger, twister fries and chicken mcnuggets for lunch
5. globe's new promo rates for texts and calls to singapore: php7.50 per minute, php1 per text
6. the strange tickle i get from writing things on masking tape with a black pentel pen, which i have to do a lot now. the way the tip of the pen slides on the surface of the masking tape is perversely pleasing.
7. a deep, lovely tan from last weekend's puerto galera junket with marlon
8. the butterfly henna tattoo on my ankle, also from said junket
9. the prospect of picking up my check for my first 15 days of work. finally!

and of course, there's therapeutic blogging.

in other news, i will have my first artista photo shoot on sunday. jologs me will check in with y'all after then.
