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

gah! ugh! gah!

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.^^

JAm

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

cryptic

i wish i had the courage to tell you... i wish...

funny how you'd invest yourself in something like that. come to think of it, it isn't funny at all.

lovers still



this was taken a few months back with my friend's nokia 6600 at shakey's. no editing was done with this pic.Ü

(try to guess what item i used as the divider...Ü)

limbo

i am half-way there but i feel as if i am there already. i don't know why but i don't like it.

mura lang...

only hope

i hope that the affected families of the previous storm have enough strength to endure the next one. and i hope that there'd be less or no casualties with the impending arrival of yoyong(?).

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...^^
