well, it’s over. my _two week_ long contractual job affair with the department of tourism is history. and perhaps soon, i’ll be recieving my first ever professional paycheck. pretty pleased with how things turned out. it all came together, even if _all_ of submissions came in freakinshly fucking late. if this is how the government works.. then no wonder this country doesn’t improve. my sympathies to gloria m.

sucks as ever darn it. miss bernicel stopped texting and i terribly miss her already. *sob*

enough. i need her right now. nothing else matters. period.

dear prankster,

making me wait is a crime muthafucka! i could have spent that time doing something worth my while than just sitting there waiting for your lame ass to show up. what do you use your cellphone for? what’s the use of a secretary?

if someone asks you what time they should come over for the meeting, don’t act cool and say “anytime”. coz first, you can’t see the future. and second, you can’t rewind the past. don’t fucking expect me to go back to your office after you stood me up too. in the event that you really need to meet me, make arrangements at the local motel. i hear they offer discounts at night.

there is only one way i could forgive you…

hugs and kisses,

the sucker, giving you
lessons about professionalism.

p.s. i’ll have naked dreams about you tonight!

before anything else, let me wash my hands.

1) i used the word “porn” rather loosely (coz i like to be creative). it can be anything you fancy as long as it is digital in form.

2) if you don’t know what the words below mean, this article might not be for you.

3) technical details intentionally left out. this is a blog entry. not an in-depth howto.

4) if you tend to forget your passphrases, you’re definitely screwed before even starting.

5) i’m not a maniac.

and, a quote by hannah arendt:

at the risk of getting ahead of myself…
“prepare for the worst” = because if you’re parents/girlfriend find out .. it will so suck.
“expect the best” = in the event that they don’t… you rule dude!
“take what comes” = always be one step ahead. do whatever is in your power to keep what you are hiding hidden.
