baahambug!

last post before christmas...

---

started playing mgs3 at around eleven o'clock last night. finished at around two in the morning. couldn't help myself. that game is so engaging. (addictus)

---

glad that i was only eleven minutes late today considering that i left the house at around seven.

sleep is my precious. my precious...

---

will be going to pampanga *early* tomorrow to spend christmas with my grandparents, titos, titas, cousins and balikbayan relatives. don't feel like going. instead, want to finish mgs3. (approximately two to three hours before finishing the game. addictus maximus.) how thoughtful of me...

---

i am cramming my christmas shopping. (ahh... the lasting effects of high school and college culture.) almost done with it. need one more thing to buy. i think...

hmmm... i did buy something that i didn't "cram." good thing that it was refundable. 5uxx.

---

i am a scrooge at heart.

---

see you in a couple of days... till then.

merry christmas.Ü

we might as well be strangers

i don't know your face no more
or feel your touch that i adore
i don't know your face no more
it's just a place i'm looking for

we might as well be strangers in another town
we might as well be living in a different world
we might as well
we might as well
we might as well

i don't know your thoughts these days
we're strangers in an empty space
i don't understand your heart
it's easier to be apart

we might as well be strangers in another town
we might as well be living in a another time
we might as well
we might as well
we might as well be strangers
be strangers

for all i know of you now
for all i know of you now
for all i know of you now
for all i know

return

no entry for five days.

well, i've been sick for the past five days.

you know what i mean...

---

i'm going to return the books that i've borrowed. and i have a li'l surprise for the books' owners. [not applicable to books which have plastic covers. ;)]

---

as expected i am swamped with work. but i'm not complaining. better than doing nothing, spacing out and eventually thinking about...

---

chewy pointed this out: it's harder to choose gifts for guys.

ummm.... it is!

my suggestion for chewy's gift for her guy: "date na lang kayo. tapos libre mo sya." :p

i'm a relatively new employee. as a direct consequence i am required to participate in our team's christmas presentation. i'm okay with that but to dance...???

gah! ugh! gah!

will try to coax them not to include me in the dance number. will try to convince them that i am still willing to perform but in another way.Ü

december 2, 2004, unsent?

xxxxxx-stick^^,

sayang talaga part two lang natanggap mo. tsktsktsk.. ano kayang problema? hmm.. anyways, pinadala ko pa rin yung part one, hope you receive it this time. ^^ *fingers crossed*

wala pa rin e. di ko nga rin alam kung anong problema. haay naku... wag mo na ulit i-send. kung ayaw wag pilitin.

hmm.. i guess masaya nga makita lahat ng pinupuntahan nila. although i still don't like seeing them bring each other down for money. sana makapanood ka na mamaya ^^

just think of it as a game with a different set of rules. and in order to win the game you have to be competitive. nakapanood ako kagabi. naawa ako dun sa isang team kasi they were stuck with a challenge for eight hours! di nila natapos yung challenge. na-eliminate tuloy silla. kakaawa. :(

tagalized anime? hmm.. i guess i could survive it kung wala na talagang choice. nakatagal naman ako sa ghostfighter and sailor moon ah.. hehe.

maganda naman kasi yung pagka-dub dun sa ghost fighter e.(compared dun sa ibang tagalized anime) yung sa sailormoon, so so dubbing. dapat kasi sub na lang. kaso lang maraming tamad magbasa... at mahirap humatak ng ratings pag sub...

high tech na sa'kin yung automatic. hehe. ayoko munang pag-aralan yun kahit mas madali di hamak kaysa manual. baka masanay ako't makalimutan ko kung pano mag-drive ng manual.

parang bump car lang yan. minus the bump.Ü

sana di na umulan pero may bagyo nga daw bukas T_T sana umulan habang tulog ako. hehe.

haay... naawa ako dun sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo. tapos may bagyo na namang padating. tsktsktsk. sana mabilis lang ang pagdaan nya sa pinas.

may portable bangka ka? hahaha ^^

oo meron. just add water. hahaha.^^

oo naman, naging jologs din ako minsan. hahaha! jk :p nanonood akong tgis & gimik dati, pero mas gusto ko gimik. hahaha.Ü

nahawa lang ako kay axxxx. sya yung mahilig dun dati. mas gusto ko g-mik!Ü

nakakamiss si rico yan.. *sigh*

naniniwala ka ba na bangungot ang pagkamatay nya?

> hmm... medyo napaisip lang ako.Ü
hmm.. tungkol saan?

dun sa kwento ni lxxxx...Ü

40 per disc? mura nga yon. sayang, ayoko na rin kasi ng vcd eh. sana magkaroon din sila ng dvds in the future ^^

oks lang naman kahit vcd basta malinaw. at kung divx copy mas maganda.Ü sige itanong ko kung may dvds sila.Ü

> it's just a guy thing, i guess.Ü same with makeup for gals?
siguro nga. same with shopping, makeup, and what have you.. it's a girl thing. hehehe.

indeed!Ü

yup, si jinnai ang kalaban ni makoto. may ginawa nga silang series eh, ok lang pero mas gusto ko yung animation sa dun sa nauna, di lang ako sure kung oav ang tawag don. basta yung hindi series. hehe.

okay naman yung series a. pero konting eps lang napanood ko e. 'di ko kasi nasimulan kaya di ko sya sinubaybayan. usually naman mas maganda yung animation ng mga oav's when compared to their series counterparts, dabah?

di naman sa na-bad trip ako. i guess i was just disappointed. ^^66 sorry for not replying to your message. i'm not mad or anything. i just didn't know the right thing to say, and i didn't want any misunderstandings to result from having explanations sent via text. i'd like to hear your hunches and i'd like to tell you my side as well, but i'd rather we discuss it in person. ^^

hmmm... disappointed... that only means that i didn't live up to your expectations? hmm... but let's save it when we do talk.Ü

my eyes are still swollen, but they've improved a lot compared to yesterday. hope i'm ok by tomorrow since i'll have to get back to work by then. ^^6

ano okay ka na? buti pa yung ibang companies half day lang. kakainggit... susunduin ka naman ni daddy mamaya 'di ba? wala ka nang proproblemahin kahit umuulan pa mamaya.Ü

ei, i just finished translating the japanese postcard. wuhoo!! i'm so happy i did it! *^^* had help from an online friend though, di ko ma-decipher yung isang sentence. hehe. hope it's correct for the most part ^^6

'grats! tingin ko naman matutuwa na yun kahit na 'di eksakto yung pagka-transalate mo. basta ba nandun pa din yung gustong ipahiwatig ng sender.Ü

remember faye? yung housemate ni lorie? ewan ko kung saan sya pumunta last weekend pero hinalikan ni marc abaya yung kamay nya!Ü kumanta kasi sya para sa mic mo 'to ng mtv. kinanta nya yung kanta ni kitchen. psst... inggit ka no? :P

take care, jam. ^^

you too, xxxx.^^

ps. really? what did i miss?

p.s. nothing.

stressed(?)

dandruff. yes i have it, yet again. ack!

sister: ikaw pala si mister snowshowers e.

---

allergy. yes it has returned. ack! and i forgot to put some ointment on it this morning. blah.

---

decided to sleep earlier than the usual yesternight after playing tekken with kjwan as my background music (their album roks!) and need for speed underground 2 with keane as my background music (aahh... perfect for my current mood). hit the sack at around eleven. (maaga na'to para sa akin. these past few days i've been sleeping quite late because of those blasted video games. but i'm not complaining. hehehe.) stared at the ceiling for a while. and then the wall. and then the ceiling again. i couldn't sleep although i badly needed the zzz's. ended up sleeping at around 1:30ish in the morning. demmet, should've played instead.

---

withdrawal: couldn't help it. texted her. although utterly trivial.

"MARS pala yung soap na ginawan ni vic at barbie ng music vid. nakita ko kasi kanina sa tower yung ost. wala lang...Ü

wala na ngang sense ang jologs pa! ehe.

---

partially retrieved my "me" time*. it wasn't taken away from me, rather it was just split and given voluntarily.

*"me" time is when i have the chance to think about anything but most of the time i think about me. ehe.

i'm number 1!





You Are the Reformer



1




You're a responsible person - with a clear sense of right and wrong.

High standards are important to you, and you do everything to meet them.

You are your own worst critic, feeling ashamed if you're not perfect.

You have the highest integrity, and people expect you to be fair.






got this from nikki.

bonus

fact1: there are 12 months in 1 year.
fact2: there are 4 weeks in 1 month.
fact3: there are 7 days in 1 week.
fact4: there are 365 days in 1 year.

let's try to find out the number of weeks in a year by multiplying the number of weeks in a month (fact2) by the number of months in a year (fact1),

4 x 12 = 48

that is 48 weeks (result1)

now let us try to divide the number of days in a year (fact4) with the number of days in a week (fact3),

365 ÷ 7 ≈ 52

that is 52 weeks. (result2)

notice that there is a discrepancy between our two results. let us compute this discrepancy,

| 48 - 52 | = 4 (result3)

that is 4 weeks, which is equal to a month(!).

so technically speaking, in a year there are actually 13 months.

thus the 13th month pay exist. so you shouldn't call this pay as an "extra" or a "bonus" pay because you are just getting what you are supposed to receive.

i think we should demand for the companies that employ us to give us real christmas bonuses. hehe.Ü

gewd

have you seen the new(?) sandwich video, nahuhulog, where raimund was doing the vocals instead of marc and a bunch of mouth watering sandwiches were flashed troughout the video? raimund's dancing reminded me of l'arc~en~ciel's video stay away, where hyde was dancing too. although raimund had da moves i think hyde's dancing is much better. but in fairness raimund's doo and make-up was gewd.

---

just finished watching the first episode of last exile. it was gewd! the picture was crisp. (divx kasi e.) the subtitles were clear and easy to read. and the animation was excellent with well placed insertions of cg animation and perfect choice of hues for every scene. looks like watching an episode during lunch break would be a habit from now on.

can't wait...^^

black capricorn day

had to endure sandara's song while on the fx. punishment probably for not following my own resolution not to ride ever on that particular auv. cruel.

i've said my apoligies. yet you gave no response. i guess i deserve(?) that.

depressed i am very.

---

work tomorrow i don't want to go to.

---

depressed i am very.

my very very long weekend

warning: longish post ahead.

my blog doesn't get the love and affection it once had. and i think i've neglected it long enough. time to get a little peronal. shall we?

---

wednesday:

recieved my pay slip during the afternoon. was ecstatic over the figure that i saw. then decided to absent myself the following day to do my shopping.

---

thursday:

a yes. a self-delared holiday. my very long weekend started here.

left the house at around nine somewhat prepared for the transport strike. (i've already charted a route in which i wouldn't ride pub's and puj's as much as possible.)

arrived at greenhills at around noon. went straight to the shop were i saw the ps2 package that i wanted. couldn't convince the guy to replace the imitation controller with an original. proceeded then to write down the games that i wanted. turns out they don't some of the games that i wanted. o well... at least i got a copy of tekken tag tournament and need for speed: underground 2. that would suffice for now. and besides i think i could easily borrow old copies of games from my ps2 friends. paging paging, nakajima-kun(ken) and chickster(chico). pahiram ako ng luma nyong laro! waited for about forty five minutes while they moded the ps2. then proceeded to festival mall to purchase me a tv.

by the time i arrived at festival i was quite exhausted from carrying the ps2 unit along with the games. bought me a 21" flat screen tv and after a few arrangements with an fx driver i was on my way home hungry and tired but nonetheless was happy. it was close to four by then and it was only when i was seated on the fx that i've rememered that i've yet to eat. good thing i bought a family sized pizza as pasalubong for my mom. texted my mom before we left festival.

ako: ma pauwi na ako. dala ko na yung bagong tv natin.Ü

tried to assemble the free stand that came along with the tv but was too drained to put in the screws. bleh. propped the tv on the floor instead and tried my new ps2. also used my dad's bose speakers to test the sounds. guess what i played first... bitchin' sweet!ÜÜÜ

amen.

---

friday & saturday:

went to Lb friday evening because of cel's blowout. arrived there quite late because of the freakin' slow poke driver of the jeep that i was so lucky to chance upon. we then proceeded to palaisdaan at bay. feasted ourselves on the scrumptious food that was before us, fried rice, sinigang na baboy, pinakbet and sizzling squid sisig. mmmmm...

went home to the apartment after and surfed to my hearts content and played warcraft 3 dota with clemen. slept at about four o'clock in the morning. cel and clemen was still playing when i hit the sack.

woke up at around eight and burned me a copy of vampire hunter d: bloodlust. cheked afterwards if the copy i made was working while surfing the net and chatting on ym.

showered and then went out with cel and andrew to meet with mark and nikki to have lunch. ate at mernels. grabe nakakamiss ang mernels. not to mention the relatively cheap food. and of course it goes without saying that i did miss my friends company. we could've talked all day about trivial and not so trivial things if we didn't have things to do.

burned some more cds. l'arc~en~ciel's music videos and the complete season of the last exile. left Lb after having dinner with mark and nikki. also got the number of an anime dealer at Lb with extensive anime titles. (three page full!)

arrived home at around nine and played played played. slept at around one.

between thursday, friday, saturday and sunday i think i was only averaging four hours of sleep per day. blerh.

---

sunday:

date day.Ü how would i describe the date? hmmm... one hell of a rollercoaster ride. there were downs but mostly there were ups. but you know me... i was constanly focusing on the downs, playing and replaying it on my mind. could almost hear homer going "doh!" after every boo boo. bleh. but i did enjoy going out with her its just that i was so aimless and quite a bore that day. i dunno... bleh.

tried to drown my woes as soon as i arrived home. one thing, there is a limit to what tekken can cure.

slept at four.

---

monday:

woke up at ten. still miserable(?). tekken, tekken, tekken. that felt good. for a while at least...

hmmm... it's raining. might as well help water the plants...

got the guitar and had me a mini concert. first song was kitchen's song. (it was playing on the tv at that time so i played along with her.) next was my theme song. didn't felt better though after the song. but then i sang this song,

my stupid mouth
has got me in trouble
i said too much again
to a date over dinner yesterday
and i could see
she was offended
she said "well anyway..."
just dying for a subject change

oh, another social casualty
score one more for me
how could i forget?
mama said "think before speaking"
no filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do
i guess he better find one soon

we bit our lips she looked out the window
rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
i played a quick game of chess with the
salt and pepper shaker
and i could see clearly
an indelible line was drawn
between what was good, what just
slipped out and what went wrong

oh, the way she feels
about me has changed
thanks for playing, try again.
how could i forget?

mama said "think before speaking"
no filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do
i guess he better find one

i'm never speaking up again it only hurts me
i'd rather be a mystery than she desert me

oh i'm never speaking up again
starting now

one more thing
why is it my fault?
so maybe i try too hard
but it's all because of this desire
i just wanna be liked, i just wanna be funny
looks like the jokes on me
so call me captain backfire

oh, the way she feels
about me has changed
thanks for playing, try again.
how could i forget?
mama said "think before speaking"
no filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do
i guess he better find one

i'm never speaking up again. it only hurts me
i'd rather be a mystery than she desert me

oh i'm never speaking up again
starting now

was constantly smirking while singing this. how very appropriate of the events that occurred yesterday, indeed! well not all of it. but to some extent it is...

period

for three days now i have been doing infinitesimal amounts of work and frankly i'm quite bored, bored beyond boredom that any moment now i feel as if i would implode because of this stagnation that is slowly seeping into my bones and turning me into a hapless dunce with the pointy funnel cap sitting on the fool stool in the corner of the back of the room facing the wall trying to figure out how'd he got this punishment so much so that his poor malnourished brain is incessantly throbbing from the creeping exhaustion of conjuring something out of nothing that ultimately left me yearning

finished!

just finished downloading a tribute combo vid from shoryuken.com. downloading time: two hours thirty seven minutes. file size: 323MB. read a couple of comments about the video on the forums and from what i've read it's an amazing video. will watch it now.Ü

i haven't played tekken 5 yet but i love it already.

yesterday i went to greenhills to find me a good bargain for a ps2. here's the package i found to be the most appealing,

package:
1 ps2 unit (mod)
1 dual shock controller
1 imitation controller
1 ps2 memory card
25 games (your choice)

warranty:
1 month unit change
6 months service warranty

price:
12,000.00 Php

will try to convince the owner to sell me the package with two dual shock controllers. will then haggle for a lower price. hehe.

---

while i was hunting for a good buy at virra mall yesterday, i was approached countless of times by men offering dibidis and dibidi eks. i almost laughed my head off everytime somebody tried to sell me those illicit dvds. partly because the way they talked reminded me of michael v's impersonations. but mainly because of how they sell it; they wander aimlessly around the mall and when they see a potential customer they'd hover around him while talking, almost whispering, what they have. bubble gang material indeed.

pisay 98 bball team lost against 91 yesterday. crap. but at least we made it to the finals this year. maybe next year we'll bring home the cup when the team has new borns for good luck. ha. ha. ha.

ice climber

the first episode for the new season of amazing race aired last night. (live via satellite in the afternoon) i was quite surprised that ar6 started already. but nonetheless i was happy it did.

i was particulary amused when the first detour of the game let the teams choose between finding a bouy amongst a myriad of glaciers and ice climbing. i myself given a choice between riding a boat and ice climbing would've prefered the latter.
disappointingly there were no seals, polar bears and pterodactyls spotted during any of the ice climb.

one of the "disposable" teams got eliminated, the high school best friend team. they chose to find the bouy. they should've known better that the less physically tedious and seemingly easier tasks take longer. idiots.

clarity

i worry, i weigh three times my body
i worry, i throw my fear around
but this morning, there's a calm i can't explain
the rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain

ooh ooh ooh ooh

by the time i recognize this moment
this moment will be gone
but i will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on
well all i got's

ooh ooh ooh ooh

and i will wait to find
if this will last forever
and i will wait to find
if this will last forever
and i will wait to find
that it won't and it won't because it can't
because it just can't
it just can't
it's not supposed to

was there a second of time that i looked around?
did i sail through or drop my anchor down
was anything enough to kiss the ground?
and say i'm here now and she's here now

ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh

so much wasted in the afternoon
so much sacred in the month of june
how bout you

and i will wait to find
if this will last forever
and i will pay no mind
when it won't and it won't
because it won't
and i will waste no time
worried 'bout no rainy weather
and i will waste no time
remaining in our lives together

saw the billboard along magallanes last thursday. satisfied my craving last sunday with a twister float meal. and also yesterday. ^_^ sunday was coke flavored float. blech. >_< yesterday was strawberry flavored float. yum. n_n will probably devour another meal later. and tomorrow. and the day after tomorrow. and the day after that, and the day after that... yaukyukyaukyuk. ^0^ although sixty bucks per day is quite expensive and would ultimately leave me penniless before this month's pay arrives... @_@ you only live once right? or rather, twister season comes only once, right?

kids...

just want to inform you that for the past two weeks i've been blogging via email, since i lost my internet access. (gave me a chance to focus more on "work.") good thing is that i can and do recieve your comments via email. bad thing is that i can't browse your blogs anymore. 

anyways, care to enlighten me on what have you been doing recently?Ü

agua

drinking eight glasses of water per day is hard. this i realized only today.

i said to myself that starting today i would try to down the ideal daily amount of water a person should drink. several trips to the pantry, four and a half of glasses of water and several more trips to the comfort room, i have this insurmountable pounding sensation in my head. i don't know if my sudden change in water intake has a direct effect on my headache, (or is it just because i still lack sleep? or is it just because i have yet to find a proper excuse for still not finishing my pending reports?) but i do feel as if it has. maybe because the only way i shed the extra fluids is solely through peeing instead of expelling it by other means.

note to self: should try drinking eight glasses of water along with proper amount of exercise.

last night was a fun night. went over to jas's and talked and ate the night away with rohel, jonas, mark, hannah, alison and jas. fool that i am, i forgot to thank our gracious hosts. so i'd like to take this oppurtunity to thank the ibero family. thanks! thanks! thanks!

we finished at around half past one o'clock(?) in the morning, which was way past my bed time considering that it was a "work" day the following morning. arrived at home at two o'clock and finally hit the sack at three. woke up at five and prepared to go to work. had only two hours of sleep so naturally i am quite sleepy now.

four more hours to go before i can slumber...

dilemma


for quite sometime now i've been trying to cut down on my coffee intake. and i think i've been quite successful. (from about five cups per week to zero cups per week for the past eight(?) months.) but it seems that i'll be breaking my streak soon.

i've just discovered that our pantry has a coffee maker with figaro beans(ala e!) to brew. good thing i still don't have a coffee cup or else i'd be chugging down the hot liquid right now.

(although for the past month or so i've been eyeing that tower records mug and was planning on buying the cup this weekend even before i saw that sinful coffee maker with that pot full of deliciously hellish black concoction.)

(now i shall pretend to be a sheep.)

bah!

it's a cycle

currently reading: the da vinci code by dan brown
books on queue: dracula by bram stoker; vampire chronicles of anne rice; the dark tower series of stephen king

awaiting the release of: tekken 5(!)

---

as of the moment my appetite to read books has greatly increased and my enthusiasm for video games has decreased. i've finished quite a number of books in the past few months and played games less and less. the cause? my schedule, the abundance of reading materials and the lack thereof of a ps2.

but i think once i get my hands on a ps2 a reversal of sorts would take place.

soon...

fyi

nakahanap na ako ng bago. matagal-tagal ko din syang naging, ano nga ba?, hmmm..., "inspirasyon." hindi ko naman sinasabi na ayoko na sa kanya. of course lab ko pa rin sya. pero it's time for me to move on.

panget mang pakinggan pero, oo, nakatagpo na ako ng ipapalit sa kanya. mahaba ang buhok nya, payat at sobrang kalog. natutuwa ako pag nakikita ko sya. 'di ko mapigilang ngumiti. ewan ko nga ba.

sorry heart... may toni na ako.

mush...

love is always new. regardless of wether we love once, twice or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. we simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. if we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. we have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.

the moment we seek love, love begins to seek us.

and to save us.

errr, i forgot...

this sucks! i forgot my phone. demmet. now i feel as if i'm ignoring the *myriad* of people who've texted me.

(although i'm not expecting any text message from anyone in particular. except maybe from... 2363. hehe.Ü)

now waiting the reply e-mail from chikka confirming that i could send sms messages via e-mail. hope it works.

waiting...

you are...

how do you do it?

twenty first

for the past month i've been training to be a protfolio analyst. mornings i'd spend it here at our head office, doing reports, tallying numbers and trying to figure out what to do next. afternoons i'd go back to our branch and ressume being an underwriter.

so technically it's my eleventh, and just my first day, as a full time portfolio analyst. and from what i've learned, or not learned, it will take a while before i get used to this. i feel as if it's my first day on the job. although as far as i can recall it wasn't this hectic on my first day. today i have to finish a report that was given to me friday morning which was due last thursday. ha! i think i'm halfway through it (although half of what i've done is based on deductions and educated guesses) and will be able to beat the three o'clock "deadliest" deadline this afternoon.

(good thing i still have net access. although i have a hunch that once our system guys "fixes" my pc i won't be able to go online... sigh...)

(this entry was originaly posted via email. good thing that it worked because i'm anticipating that by tomorrow i won't have access. but i do have my own personal e-mail so i guess i could still post whenever i like. now if only i could figure out how to post with italics and bold fonts...)

jester's crap

i'm such a jest.

---

a couple of months ago i called an old friend. their yayo answered the phone and asked who i was. i don't know what came over me but on the last minute i decided to give a fake name, a name that i knew she won't recognize. (jake, i think. inspired by romp. eheh.) of course there was confusion on her part. i think i would've made her believe that i was indeed "jake" if only i put more thought into my character and if only i didn't snicker half of the time i was talking to her.

---

a similar incident happened yesterday. this time with a different friend. her yaya answered the phone and i gave her a bogus name, alexis. (blame the the mp3 that was currently playing on my pc, space sheriff shaider by akira kushida.) as expected there was the intial inquisition then befuddlement.

sya: hello? sino 'to?
ako: si alexis.
sya: sinong alexis?
ako: alexis. we've just met. remember?
sya: wala akong kilalang alexis.
ako: nagkakilala tayo sa rcbc tower...
sya: i'm sorry, but i don't know you.

at this point the way she talked and the tone of her voice prompted me to end my little charade lest if i'd prefer to converse with myself. what ensued afterwards was only due. laughter.

we then talked for about half an hour or more. then natured called. so i then told her that i'll car her as soon as i can. i did my business and after tinkering with my desktop theme for a while (demmet! why can't i change the way my desktop looks? administrator privileges. administrator privileges. bah!) i then called her. a tiny voice answered the other line. her cousin i think.

ako: hello. good evening. pwede po kay sya?
cuz: sino 'to?
ako: si alexis.
cuz: ate si alexis daw. (talking to sya.)
sya: sabihin mo wala akong kilalang alexis. (talking to her nephew. although loud enough for me to hear.)
cuz: wala daw syang kilalang alexis.
ako: kilala nya ako. sabihin mo si alexis.
cuz: kilala mo daw.
sya: wala akong kilalang alexis e.
cuz: wala nga daw syang kilalang alexis e.
ako: sabihin mo magpapakilala ako sa kanya.
cuz: magpapakilala daw...
sya: o, hello. sino 'to?
ako: ako. si alexis... (pulis pangkalawakan...)
sya: wala akong kilalang alexis e. lumalala ata yung allergy ko a. (allergic daw sya sa sinungaling)
ako: hahaha!


maybe i f i didn't act on a whim maybe then my rate of success would increase. or if only i'm good enough to pull of a gary on a jonas.

music to my ears

friday.

installed the latest version of winamp on my pc. (previous versions couldn't play wma files) had my doubts if it could bypass the system. turns out it could so as long as i install, not in c:\program files, but on a different folder.

finally got to listen to l`arc~en~ciel's c'est la vie and belle and sebastian's wrapped up in books. (apparently windows media can't play these files.) now i could select all my music files with much ease, put winamp on shuffle mode, press play and enjoy great sounds all day long.

---

saturday.

my new friend was plainly struggling wether to buy or not to buy the latest album of alicia keys, the diary of alicia keys, reading the tracks on it then putting it back on the rack then picking it up again after a little mental trepidation all the while half muttering to herself, "bibilhin ko ba 'to?". she has been putting off buying the album for about a month now. the complete opposite when i want to buy a particular record. but i was quite amused of her procrastination. well she bought the album which i think is a good buy. except that i forgot to check if the album includes the duet of alicia and usher singing "if i ain't got you" and failed to suggest to her that maybe she could wait a tad bit longer if the track wasn't there.

as we were leaving tower records i was reminded of a dialouge i had with thea back in college, most probably triggered by what transpired at the store.

we were walking along st. therese going to their house on that hot day. i don't know what turn our conversation took that led us to thinking several reasons why i wasn't with xxnxxx. a couple of probable and improbable reasons came up. but one particular reason took the cake that day.

we couldn't conclude if she liked janno gibbs songs.

i had this silly notion that if i met someone that liked the same type of music that i liked then there's a big possibility that we would agree on most things. i see music as one of the many building blocks of a personality of an individual, ridiculous as it may seem.

so now i'm wondering if she likes janno gibbs songs.

nya. ha. ha.

sunday.

as we were travelling from luz's house in batangas (naki-fiesta kami dun. ang sarap kumain. non-stop ata kaming ngumunguya. at may take home pa!) i was happily singing or humming along most of the songs that played on the radio. but a string of songs that i wasn't particularly fond of abruptly changed my mood. simple plan whined about not being perfect, avril bawled over not having a happy ending and the calling... bleh, nevermind! i was thinking if i was the only person in the car that didn't like them. i was about to lambast the "artists" but i felt that they were enjoying singing along with the songs. and there came a point were i was questioning my musical prefernces albeit only for a split second. but then i realized that i really don't dig their music.

good thing damien rice sang a song afterwards.

---

still sunday.

as i was preparing to sleep, my sister sang a couple of lines, wait, all the lines of sandara park's latest single, in or out. gah! i think my blood pressure increased a notch higher. i really hate that song. but i have to congratulate mr. camo for creating yet another catchy but rather irritating novelty song.

"i know kung fu"

i love kung fu movies! this i realized as i was watching knockabout on studio23 last night. i was slightly irritated when i had to flip the channel sa dos because my mom had to watch hiram. buti na lang nandun si heart. good thing i got to catch the final boss fight of the movie.

---

this i heard on the elevator coming down from the forty seventh:

"excited na nga si mark e. nagpareserve na sa racks. planadong planado na nya."
"pero akala mo no biggie sa kanya."
"sus! sabi nya nga sa akin magpapareserve na sya mamaya. 'di ba big deal yun?"
"bakit nya ba gagastusan ng four hundred plus? e yung sarili nya nga 'di nya gastusan ng isang daan."

leaning into the afternoons

leaning into the afternoons,
i cast my sad nets towards your oceanic eyes.

there, in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames;
its arms turning like a drowning man's.

i send out red signals across your absent eyes
that wave like the sea, or the beach by a lighthouse.

you keep only darkness my distant female;
from your regard sometimes, the coast of dread emerges.

leaning into the afternoons,
i fling my sad nets to that sea that is thrashed by your oceanic eyes.

the birds of night peck at the first stars
that flash like my soul when i love you.

the night, gallops on its shadowy mare
shedding blue tassels over the land.

KOs and Reality
good week for tv: de la hoya got KO-ed; the blue eagles got knocked out; tiger woods and the US team got schooled; survivor started; the amazing race is almost over; the emmys are out; and the lotr keeps playing on hbo; and etc is always entertaining; although, i still miss community cable in LB, its better than any here in manila (kc may techTV :p).

my sister had her oathtaking yesterday (hippocratic) ; she can now officially sign my excuse letters!!!

7 Comments:FYI, wala nang TechTV dito..

By Nikki, at 6:05 PM

nyak, wala na rin pala. pero maganda pa rin dyan, mas marami ng channel(na may kwenta), mura pa.

By frank, at 10:30 PM

speaking of eagles and KOs and lb... update na din kita frank:

eagles - 2 upsilon - 0

(2 headshots in a span of 4 days)... di ko gets bakit rumble ang tawag nila dun. 1 upsilon at 15+ na eagles.
tsk tsk

... sinabi ko bang may tubo sila lahat?

also, since na nkapanood na ako ng (lopsided) na rumble, ibig ba sbihin ggraduate na ako? hehe. :)

By mark, at 11:41 PM

sus. nakapanood na rin ako ng lopsided rumble eh.

..o baka naman ga-graduate na rin ako?

By jem, at 11:03 AM

yan ang gusto ko sa lb. laging may action sequence.

By frank, at 11:20 AM

mark, did you get splattered with blood? narinig mo ba kung paano mabale yung yung mga buto ng upsilon? hehe. sayang at 'di ako nakapanood ng rambol nung nasa LB pa ako. sapakan lang sa tapat ni oble yung nakita. tsk tsk.

taena. ang panget ng laban ni de la hoya. parang takot siyang sumapak. pero sabagay malaki naman kasi yung reach advantage and punching power ng kalaban. and talk about being undefeated for the last decade... looks like de la hoya's career is over. time to throw the towel.

buti naman at nanalo yung la salle. sana lang nga mag-champion para may sense ang pagkatalo natin sa kanila. (champion kasi e.) sayang at natalo yung junior team ng up. pero who cares, anyways...

hehe. survivor. papaka-adik na naman sa tv. hmm... mukhang okay si dolly at si eliza a.Ü syempre may john p. din for the ladies.

caught the emmys last night. ang ganda! lalo na yung bit where they bid farewell to great comedy shows. pati nung lumabas na yung presentors ng best reality (reality nga ba?) show. their expressions were priceless. at syempre kahit ayaw ko, na-spoil ako (ng konti) dun sa ending ng friends.

amazing race... go christie! go texas! woot woo! sino kaya ang nanalo dito. buti pa si faye pa-absent-absent na lang para manood ng amazing race.

hmmm... haba ng comment ko a. i-post ko na lang kaya 'to? hehe. ayan pinost ko na. hehe.

By JAm, at 1:24 PM

ok nga yung "reality tv" presentor.

woot??? prang expression ni sacha(yihee! celsus!) sa bliki nya yun ah

hindi mo puwedeng ikahaon ang pagod at puyat ko

the present miss red box attendant whisked us way to our reserved room. no miss red box attendant was not faye. although i'd wager that faye could do her job a lot better and would be willing to replace her, that is, if an incentive of a free videoke session every week, or should it be everyday(?), be packaged with her basic salary, plus other benefits.

as one would expect, nobody wanted to be the first to sing. but not surprisingly faye already had a mic on her hand and the remote was on mine. hehe. so i picked a couple of songs that they might like. i can't quite remember when the singing started and what song we sang to. or was it because of the first round of beer was slowly and gently dissipating their inhibitions?

as i was on the floor near the tv thumbing the remote looking for songs that were requested by the would be "songers", a short stabbing pain jolted me at my lower back. i almost forgot the constant excruciating ache at my pelvic area that i was continualy receiving, sometimes numbing my left leg. what a nice way to remind me.

meanwhile the rest of the gang arrived. cherry, kathryn, ivan and three of dj's foreigner friends. there was a total of sixteen people on the room. imagine the ruckus that we were making. they were on their second round of drinks as i was eating every pretzel piece i could get my fingers on. a lot more of drinking (them), eating (me) and singing (us) ensued. then we were told that we could now move to another room, a much larger room in which we were not packed as closely together and with better facilities, a larger tv, a chordless mic and a pool table, while we were singing our hearts out on kalapana's the hurt.

so we transfered to room 11 whence we continued where we left off, singing. i found joy's reaction to some of the chosen bakya songs mildly amusing.

joy : corny. what a corny song. corny song.

she commented that way on a couple of songs but then you'd hear her singing in the background to the very song which she just lambasted. seems like joy is fond of "corny" songs. the singing was great, especially when andrew finally had the chance to sing his requested tune, bohemian rhapsody. of course we sang along with andrew. the song was simply contagious.
indeed, we were stars in our own right that night.

but the night's real star came and conquered and left them yearning for more. ha! mister cuervo, you're such a suave.

lick. shoot. suck. they licked. they shot. they sucked. lickshootsuck. lickshootsuck.

after seeing the condition they were in, rowdier than before with matching flushed faces and gleeful expressions, i thought that they had just the right amount of alcohol in them. tipong sakto na yung tama. but i was a fool to think that they had enough. thus an encore was requested once more from jose.

they then staggerred, swayed and wobbled. their speech was slow, slurred and repetitive. pretty much normal behaviour exhibited by drunks. or the mentally incapable.

there were many and different ways they coped with the effects of liquior on their bodies and their heads. a friend almost instantly fell asleep on the couch and as his girlfriend was waking him up all he could utter was, "tagaytay! tagaytay!". (would you believe that we were supposed to go to tagaytay after our videoke session? syempre 'di na kami natuloy.) another vomitted and passed out. we had to carry her seemingly light but quite heavy body from red box to makati ave. the employees of red box were polite enough to bid us goodbye (and good ridance?) as we were exiting red box. it was already four o'clock in the morning then. all the while my other drunk friend was yammering non-stop.

xxxx : i... i... i... have to go home. and... and... and go to work tomorrow. and... and i think we should go home because i... i... have to work tomorrow.

funny thing is that when we arrived at their apartment and as she was on her bed she still said the same things over and over again. (hoy nandito ka na sa bahay mo. at bukas na ngayon. hehe.)

after downing more than they could handle, i know for a fact (based on experience), that they wouldn't remember half of the things they did or the things that were done to them, with or without their consent. i don't know what is more painful, the splitting headache they would have after they wake up or the embarassment they felt when we made kwento sa kanila kung anong nangyari..

(i had the guilty pleasure of recording a snippet of what happened on a friends camera phone along with some incriminating pictures, labelled the "red box scandal" hehe. [although, i have to say that the "pisay scandal" parts one and two is still better.] i just don't know if the video and pics are still available from the saif phone.)

i think i should end my weekend story here. the end.

(but technically i should still continue because my weekend didn't stopped there. later that day i went to glorietta to watch dodgeball with another set of friends, feeling a little bit tired from the hoopla that happened and sleepy because i only got to sleep for a total of five hours... blahblahblah.... yadayadayada...)

i wonder what the weekend holds for me...

fifty five fiction

one look was all it took.

and like spring my love for her blossomed. but passion that seemed hotter than summer withered and died with the leaves of fall. alone again with my winter heart.

thus ended my minute expedition, my mental reservation.

i then approached her, ready for the seasons to tear me apart.

slo

hmm... looks like retelling the events that transpired last weekend takes longer than what i've originaly expected.

and i'm not particularly in a writing mood today. sorry folks.

maybe my morning training sessions at pbcom coupled with my afternoon rumble with my monstrous workload is taking its toll on me. i'm exhausted, mentally and physically.

but i know i'll adapt to this setup. eventually.

will see if i can continue my story tomorrow.

my lemon lime

where was i? a, o yeah...

meanwhile herbee and albee were at giligan's waiting for a table to free up. after twenty minutes or so of waiting and pestering bonga to check if it was our turn to be seated, herbee fetched us from gerry's to finally have dinner.

on the way to giligan's second floor, someone lightly tapped my arm, (or was it faye?), prompting me to look at the direction of the culprit. one look and i knew that i don't know who he was. it turns out that he thought that i was someone he knew (dennis?). eh. foo!

we seated ourselves quickly and bonga ordered the food. it was already past nine when the dishes arrived. we devoured our way through some delicious grub, crispy pata, sinigang, inihaw na pusit, manok at liempo and fish. for a quite a few minutes only crickets were heard at our table. galit-galit muna! we left giligan's with our bellies full, satisfied at last. salamat bonga!

after a quick stop at the terminal, where herbee and lei rode their respective epeks bound for home, me, bonga, albee and faye were on our way to gb timezone to play some games, obviously, burn some calories along the process and meet up with allen, which we were supposed to catch up with at around ten-ish. it was already half past ten then.

on the way there i saw an old friend, yet again. i often invited this particular friend of mine to eat somewhere, her treat. hehe. and in return she too cajoled me to make libre her. i wasn't able to greet her because there were so many people in between us. i could've voiced her name but i'd wager that she won't hear me because the music from the bar that we were passing would only drown my efforts. so i opted for the next best thing. i sent her a text message. (el cheapo mwah)

note: i've omitted the smileys on the following messages. also, i tried to write it in verbatim but i couldn't. nonetheless the thought of our text conversation remains.

ako : pababa ka na ng escalator no? ng gb?
sya : bakit 'di mo ako tinawag?
ako : ang dami kasing tao e. saan ka pupunta? sino yang ka-date mo?
sya : punta kami ng fort. puno na kasi dyan e. date? wala no. baka ikaw. anong papanoorin nyo?
ako : e sino yung kasama mo? wala akong date. kasama ko yung friends ko. daan kaming timezone tapos videoke mamaya.
sya : i'm with my cousins. videoke? masaya yan. may request ako sa'yo. yung 'ewan' ng apo.
ako : 'di ko alam kung bakit ka ganyan. mahirap kausapin at 'di pa namamansin...
sya : yan nga. wag ka masyadong bibirit.

guess what i played at timezone... yes, i won. but i was quite disappointed with the kind of players there. mostly turtles with fixed custom strings. eheh. also played ddr, basic nga lang. it was hard catching my breath after those three "grueling" stages. goes to show how fit i am.

saturday. {00:01}

time to link up with dj, andrew, allen and the rest of dj's posse at red box. parted with albee and bonga after some hasty goodbyes. made our way to red box and quaintly seated ourselves at the waiting area. and waited. but not that long.

so the rest of the gang arrived swiftly. about five to ten minutes after we contacted them. (they all came from a bar located at gb.) introductions were appropriately made. although the only names i could remember where joy (dj's gf), ai and kevin (a foreigner who came much later).

as we were waiting for faye to confirm our reservation, allen commented on how late our gimik started.

allen : dati ngayong oras pa lang pauwi na tayo. ngayon... ngayon nagsisimula pa lang tayo.

at last we were on our way to get our ear drums thumped and our vocal chords ripped...

tomorrow : my preaching starts. till then...

i'm drained. maybe because of the myriad of numbers that i crunched early this morning and the insurmountable amount of work that is now before me.

sigh...

it hurts so fine

friday.

my weekend officialy started with an unsolicited yet undoubtedly well appreciated invitation to share dinner with a couple of new friends and a videoke session afterwards with some old buddies. of course there was a minute of hesitation due to the fact that i was supposed to play guardia sibil at our unhabited house. but the idea of spending the rest of the night chowing down on some grub and singing my heart out was more fun, to say the least, than going home eating reheated food while watching michael v. crack jokes. besides i was actually trying to find a gimik i could crash 'coz i cancelled on our bowling tournament due to back pains.

(as you've might noticed, [or not], my blog posting stopped for around two days since i had to excuse myself from work due to the aforementioned injury, a slipped disc, perhaps, my mom said and a friend suggested. concerned parties [meron nga ba?] need not to worry because i'll be having my check up during the week or if not, this coming weekend.)

i was supposed to link up with faye and her co-workers at around half past six so i still have about an hour and a half to burn after office. since staying at the office was totaly an absurd option, considering that everyone else was on their way to the tournament, i opted to go place myself in a "tournament" of my own, where holding a smaller ball resting atop a slender joystick and mashing a couple of buttons were involved.

thirty bucks, eight wins and a jeepney ride later i was at the lobby of gt tower trying to contact faye and tell her where i was. patrick garcia probably transferred my call for about eight times.

as i was about to ride the first available elevator up, i saw an old friend. or rather she saw me.

sya : parang kilala ko 'to a.

instant smiles all around. naturally i was half expecting to see her there being that she worked there.

sya : walang nagbago sayo.
ako : dapat ba meron?
sya : 'di naman.
ako : akala mo naman may nagbago sa'yo.
sya : pero usually kasi pagnagkita kayo ng old friend mo may bago.

sa isip ko, "okey lang na walang nagbago sa'yo..."

as our chatting was just starting to get a little bit warmer, my phone rang. great. it was faye telling me that she was on her way down and i should then go up. for a second i was thinking of ditching them in exchange for a leisurely walk with her. but what kind of a friend would i be if i did that? after some hasty goodbyes i actually coaxed her, albeit with a little reluctance, to commit to a gimik of our own. after all, how could she resist my charms? hehe. but seriously, i believe she agreed because she a very corteous girl.

twelth floor here i go. met up with faye. she said that she can't introduce me to the people on the table because don't know their names. but surprisingly they knew her.

the nights supposed main attraction, a live performance of a band, was already over when we arrived. so there was nothing left to do but to drink. they drank. i just and watched them. they were talking but i can't follow their conversation because of the distance between us and the blaring music. nonetheless i had fun tinkering with faye's new phone. after a few pictures here and there, a couple of games played, and little or few words traded we were hungrily on our way to gerry's, 'coz faye wanted to use her coupons with freebies, for a feast compliments of bonga.

as one might expect on a friday night, the eating establishments were packed and a little bit overflowing with people. still we enlisted ourselves on the cue and waited for our seats. waiting for our table gave me a chance to ogle at the gorgeous nocturnal women. best time i had waiting in line.

meanwhile herbee at albee were at giligan's...

hmmm... the day is not over, the night is young... i'm not yet finished.

will try to continue later. for now i am late for an appointment.

later.

10. back pains

9. ang layo ng pisay

4. i got nothing to wear to the parteh

3. the maroons lost

2. 'di ko alam kung pupunta si kwan. . .

1. tamaritis

(so what's your excuse?)

gah! i don't think i can make it through this day.

repurcussions, perhaps, of too much indulgence. . . of the salty kind.

double take

homecoming tomorrow. hmm... don't know if i'm going. so i've deicided to be undicided until the last minute. what factors would make me want to or not want to go?

ewan.

---

i've said earlier that most probably i won't go to tomorrows activities because i've already seen the people i wish to see. i would like to correct myself.

i've already seen most of the people i wish to see.

glad we're clear on that matter.

you could just take me away and i won't let go. . .

ringu

a while ago i was listening to l'arc~en~ciel's hole, the song that was played while the credits of the ring was rolling. of course i was reminded of the movie. i remembered that i watched it alone on ken's pc with the lights turned off at about midnight. ring 1 was great with its perfect timing with the pangulat sequences and creepy soundtrack. ring 2 was bleh. the background music was still good, reminiscent of ring 1, but the story was darn weak and incoherent. and the ending was simply a mess.

---

when oli was watching the ring series i decided to, as always, play a little prank on him. back then my hair was quite long, just the right length so that i could drape my locks in front of my face and cover it ala sadako. my plan was to slowly walk towards oli, approaching him from the back and plant my face as closely as i could on his shoulder. well oli caught me before i made any move. (probably because of his paranoid state at that time.) i was bummed that i didn't surprise him but nonetheless i evoked a resounding, "gago ka talaga!" from him. good enough for me.

about a month ago i heard that hollywood was remaking the grudge, yet another japanese suspence thriller flick. is this a fad? or is hollywood simply running out of original horror films?

so i had a picture of me and luz set as my wallpaper a few weeks ago. i simply liked the pic because it caught us in a "candid" moment. of course the moment my officemates saw my wallpaper it elicited a series of querries that eventually led to the question.

officemate : uuuyyy! sino 'yan?
me : a wala. friend ko. si luz.
officemate : friend? girlfriend mo yan e.
me : 'de. friend ko lang talga yan. friends lang kami. (ang showbiz!)
officemate : hinde e. girlfriend mo yan!

last week though i changed my wallpaper to a tiled picture of my sassy girl which i acquired from jem's friendster account. an agent noticed it and this is how our little exchange went.

agent : uuuyyy! sino 'yan? asawa mo?
me : ha?! ano?
agent : 'yang nasa computer.
me : a. wala. si sassy girl yan.
agent : akala ko asawa mo. maganda sya.

today i have a new wallpaper. and as would luck would have it, after i turned on my pc, my boss saw it.

bossing : uuyy. sino 'yan?
me : ha e. wala po. friends ko po.
bossing : friends? sinong type mo dyan? yung naka-yellow?
me : ha? wala po. friends ko lang po yan. (at this time i was already opening a spreadsheet.)
bossing : o, tinago na!

now i'm a having second thoughts if i should go to our homecoming this weekend. as rico would put it,

hi fans!

i'm back... indefinitely.

---

haven't blog for quite a while now. the terminal server of our branch is out of commision leaving us with no net access which then ultimately led my now undivided attention to my work.

ang bilis ng karma.

but now that i've been purged of the vile thoughts thet were once forming in my almost defiled mind after i was put in that teeth grinding kuliti inducing disposition, or should i say position, and also now that i've repented my unfinished transgression and my pseudo voyeurism, don't i deserve a little redemption?

sigh. such a deprived little boy i am.

card

i have a confession to make, cardinal.

i don't read forwarded e-mails. i don't know why, but i just find it impersonal.

there was a time that i had the patience to read those repetitive messages. but these days the moment i see the letters FW, delete delete delete.

---

i got to finish orson scott card's ender's shadow last weekend. although not as exciting as ender's game, card picking bean as the protagonist and writing the novel in bean's perspective added more flavor to ender's exploits, as well as sheding much needed light to bean's dark character.

a good read indeed.

downloaded the featured tekken 5 vidz at zaibatsu last saturday. watched it with awe. sweet! didn't see lei in action. but i did saw fei workin' it and am now quite interested in the guy. (not in that way, foo!) hope that the card system will be implemented here in the philippines.

kumbaga sa bowling ikaw ay ten pin

i can't help but to hum that song. (please refer to title. [do any of you guys know the band who sang it?] )

---

me and my officemates will participate in our company's annual bowling tournament to be held at powerbowl at the power plant mall later this evening. ha! bowling. i think that the last time that i bowled was during high school. back then, and i think until now, i'm not much of a bowler. good thing that i've been ranked the lowest in my team. better that they don't expect me to pull off a paeng nepomuceno. (as if!)

---

our team name sucks! red bull. bull!

team members were required to submit their team names based on their designated color. i was about to suggest a team name but it was too late. demmet. i would've prefered the redmanizers over red bull.

but i think my suggestion wouldn't fly with my teammates.

my suggestion: red-ford white

home alone

yesterday was adobo day. i had adobo for lunch because i couldn't resist aling prime's tasty dish. and i ate adobo for dinner because i had no choice. well i did have other options but i opted for the one that didn't involve me spending my money (by the way i'm broke) and using what little energy i had left from yesterday's frantic but dull pace. i hate to say this but manang optimus's (as i'd like to call her) adobo is better than my mom's. but my mom's is free. so i guess it's better. eheh.

---

being home alone has its advantages and disadvantages. disadvantages are the added responsibility of taking care of the house, preparing my own food, and nobody to talk to (although when i'm at home i seldom talk to the people there). advantages are. . . uhmm. . . well i can only think of one advantage as of the moment so i guess it should be just an advantage. well the advantage is i get to watch what i want and not be "forced" to watch those telenovelas especially marina(bleh!) and that soap hiram, where heart plays as the iyakin margaret who is in love with harry the ugly farmboy, (but i'd wager that he'd turn into a pretty boy) played by an eigenman. i should stop now.

so i got to watch csi and alias while i was reading ender's shadow by orson scott card during commercial breaks. csi's episode was typical but still entertaining. the episode of alias was, and as always is, accompanied with twists that is reminescent of plot turns in a soap. come to think of it alias is like a soap but much better because the story doesn't revolve so much around sydney and vaughn's affair. plus the show has fighting scenes and features jennifer garner in those nice costumes.

also i got to catch this five minute cartoon on mtv, happy tree friends. ha! cute and morbid (like me. eheh.) it made me laughed like a lunatic.

---

so i had this dream where i was back in school. the teacher was handing out our gray test papers with the results. (so i guess the setting of my dream was in grade school.) there was a remark by my teacher on my paper that asked if i actually thought what i wrote. also i had an over perfect score. 28/27! woot woo! hehe.

maybe you guys can use the numbers that i've dreamt for betting on jueteng. rush to your local kobrador now! balato ha!

---

in-crush again. :)
