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...
