resolution shmesolution

come january 1 i'm swearing off any and all kinds of junk food and carbonated drinks for a year. yes this sounds like a resolution but i don't want to call it a resolution (because like promises, resolutions are meant to be broken) rather let's just call it a challenge. so i mentioned this idea to jem and he too was up for the challenge... to the tune of 5,000 pesos, that is if anyone of us nibble on a potato chip or sip any carbonated drink in the course of one year that person will give the other person 5k. one time payment only. honesty system.

if any of you guys are interested in joining just say so. hehehe.

now if only this will be shown next week then christmas would be merry indeed.

parteh!

for three years in row i've been to three different company christmas parties. (yes, i switched jobs that often.) by far last night's christmas party was the best of them all. boy these people know how to throw out an excellent party. not to mention that they are a bunch of animals too. rarrr!

rape!

last saturday i watched mike enriquez's imbestigador special report about the philippine's trans-poor-tation. in the report he compared our transportation system with other asian countries. i was surprised with thailand's, impressed with singapore's and very very disappointed with our's.

and after coming from a 3 hour damn traffic jam i am now not only very very disappointed but also now depressed with our pathetic excuse for a transportation "system."

i'm moving to singapore. there i'll welcome you to spit-less streets, very very light traffic, b.o. free(?) mrts and bus stops with my newly acquired singaporean accent heavy english.

i find the thought of a stumbling fumbling flying bus conductor along the bus's aisle to be hilarious.

i always associated a half filled glass of orange juice with authority. why? blame it on a scene the never ending story where bastian's father was talking to him during breakfast. weird that i can still remember that scene. amusing that after all these years i still find the never ending story to be entertaining.

...too much work.

my blogging has become erratic. have you noticed? well i discovered something about my blogging habits. it seems that when something is happening in my life i blog less and if there's nothing that's going on i tend to blog a lot. but this is not always true. like now that there's nothing and there's something that's going on and happening in my life.

sya: pare may man-crush ako.
ako: taena. ang bakla mo.
sya: wala pare, ampogi kasi pala talga sa personal ni judah paolo.
ako: ...
sya: bakit wala ka bang man-crush?
ako: ... ... ... meron.
sya: sino?
ako: ... ... ... si anne curtis.
sya: sabi ko man-crush.
ako: kaya nga. si anne curtis nga.

o sige sige na nga

sa tingin ko playboy si shaider. sabi kasi sa episode ng zaido kagabi apo daw ni alexis, aka shaider, si gallian ang blue zaido. e alam naman natin na magkakaroon ng green at red zaido. ibig sabihin nung na-assign si shaider sa earth nagkaroon sya ng tsiks, dalawa pa! yun ay kung hindi magkapatid si green at red zaido sa ina. hehe. iniisip ko kasi na ang pwede lang maging zaido ay yung mga kadugo ni shaider.

(di bale magkakaroon din ako ng inside info sa tamang panahon tungkol sa istorya ng zaido. hehe.)

~~~

natutuwa ako sa casting na ginawa ng gma sa zaido. oks na zaido si marky at si dennis. si aljur di ko masyadong feel. pero mukhang wala na anga silang ibang makukuha para sa part na yun. oks na rin. swak na swak naman sa role na ida si paolo. ang ganda nyang bading! hehe. (yun nga palang orig na ida dun sa shaider... lalake din yung gumanap. hehe. ang cute dun ni cris para sa part na amy. hmmm... makikita ko kaya ang panty ni amy? hehe.

~~~

nung lingo nung ni-launch yung zaido sa sop hinhintay kong tugtugin ng sandwich yung theme song ng zaido. sayang nga lang at wala sila dun. pwede ko kayang i-request na kantahin nila 'to sa next gig na mapapanood ko sila? hehe.

~~~

siguro isa lang yung di ko nagugustuhan sa zaido ngayon. at yun ay ang pagiging masyadong madrama nito. pero alam ko naman na binabagay lang ng mga writers yung takbo ng istorya sa nakasanayan na ng mga pinoy. kung ako lang ang masusunod every other day may munster na makakalaban yung mga zaido. para every other day maririnig ko si ida na mag sabi ng, "time space warp! ngayon din!" hehe.

sana din maging maganda yung mga fight scenes. yung tipong walang "dead air" sa gitna ng laban. dapat tuloy-tuloy! di bale mukhang yung episode mamaya may laban na si blue zaido. makikita na natin kung matino yung laban nya.

saan na nga bang sentai galing si okerampa? sa maskman nga ba o sa shaider?

being grown up doesn't mean you can't play "step on the floor lines or sidewalk cracks and get electrocuted." it only means you have to play it less and in a more discreet manner.

don't be silly. of course you can't be just friends with someone you're interested in, who you befriended with the intent of being more than friends but due to certain circumstances hindered you from breaking through the friend zone. you keep telling yourself and that someone and the people around you that you're just friends. but no matter what you tell yourself in the back of your mind you still want to be more than friends with that someone and you're just waiting for certain circumstances to allow you to be.

you know she cares when she calls you instead of just sending a message when you texted her about something monumental that happened to you or when she brushes off the dandruff on the back of your shirt.

lulz!

when you say sorry to someone does that mean you've already admitted that you were wrong?

today i caught a falling leaf with my right hand.

you know what, i give good advice. funny things is i can't take good advice.

one year

i celebrated my one year anniversary as a drone of my current company last saturday. and i somewhat remembered that i saved a reminder in my old phone about that day. checking the calendar of my phone, it reads,

"hoi! nasa wxxsxx wxxtx ka pa? poor you...>_<"

i probably wrote that when i still didn't know what i was doing and felt that i wasn't cut out for the job. but now things are not looking down... but they aren't looking up. right now everything looks flat. which i know is not bad but also not good but is what i want for the moment. although i wouldn't be surprised if i change my mind in a few of months.

this is not a crisis

i know most of you already read the email that has been circulating describing what is a quarter life crisis. i myself have read this about two(?) years ago and was surprised how it accurately approximated how i was going through then. forward to today where i received a copy of the same(?) email. i decided to give it another read and see if what was written there still applies to me. well it still does, but what i noticed now is that it has an overall helpless and depressing tone. although it grazes the bullseye most of the time, i for one don't feel helpless at all.

maybe i'm just over the boundary age of the quarter life.

~~~

is it my memory gapped mind or has this quarter life article that i just received a different version of the one that i read a years ago? as far as i can remember the article that i read a while back didn't end by sighting passages from the bible and turning to god for strength. (here i go again. time to sound atheistic again.) it sounded border line preachy and used god as a deus ex machina. i know that god probably is the only thing that is universal that anyone can relate to or have an idea of and i have no beef with god but why does it have to end that way?

in the meantime or not

funny how simple five or ten questions can accurately depict where i am now.

Your Love Song Is

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson "Maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time so please ignore The next few lines cause they're directed at you I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool" You've been waiting for love, and you're not going to wait any longer!

What Love Song Are You?

Your Job Satisfaction Level: 50%

Your job is about average. There are some parts you really enjoy, and some parts that stress you out. It's possible that you need a small change. Maybe you should switch companies or positions. It's also possible that you're simply burned out. No job is perfect, even a great one. Give yourself a personal day to think about your career goals - and if your current job is helping you achieve them.

Should You Get a New Job?

waw! i only heard this just now. pretty excited about the new album. :D (although i'm not expecting it to be great as mellon collie and the infinite sadness or siamese dreams.)

si giripat

i don't like repeating myself. i make it a point, as much as possible, to not to repeat any words that i already used in a paragraph, unless i want to emphasize a point. and you'd rarely hear me talk about my blog posts during conversations with friends. i don't know why i'm like that. maybe because i'm just wired that way.

so if when we're talking and it seems that i've already told you that story, blame it on my memory being rusty. (ahh yes, an obvious sign of aging... *sigh*)

i've been living alone for quite some time now, i think for about five months now. i really am comfortable being all by myself. but what bothers me is, being the klutz that i am, that i got nobody to come to my aid if i slip and hit my head on the bathroom floor. (knock on wood!)

reverse dictionary

let say you came across a new word that you don't know the meaning of. first thing that you'll probably do is ask a friend (if one is with in the vicinity). If not you wait until you get home pick a dictionary or go online and look for the meaning of the word.

now what if you have a definition of a word in mind but can't remember the actual word for it? what do you do? of course you can always ask a friend for the exact word. but what if he doesn't know. you certainly can't go home, pick up the dictionary and go trough each word to find the right word. what you can do is go to the closest word that matches your definition and substitute it with that word, sub-standard it may be.

so what i'm proposing is, if it is not done already, is a reverse dictionary where you'd type in your definition and the word you're looking for pops out. genius right?

(or you could just probably grab a thesaurus or go online and google the word. hehe. :P)

runaway

you know it really isn’t far away
that i’m longing to be with you
you’ll be waiting for another sun,
but that’s when things begin to come undone
there’s sense that’s running in the air,
and that’s the time that you should never dare

disappointments of disappointments

last tuesday i took the day off to complete the requirements needed for acquiring a passport. around noon, not even halfway of finishing my tasks, i received a text message from sam y g,

for the finals, pls bring a xerox copy of ur passport & the person who is g0ing with u to singap0re..we need ur passport photocopies on friday..pls txt bak. tnx

demet! i replied asking if it was possible that i'd just give them a copy of the passport next week. no go. apparently it was a requirement of the singapore board... T-T

goodbye to the chance of getting an all expenses paid trip to singapore (for two) with four days three nights stay at a five star hotel and five hundred singapore dollars pocket money. so there, my singapore adventure ends here.

(sobrang nanghihinayang lang talga ako... di ko tuloy mabibilhan ng pasalubong na singapore key chains ang mga kaibigan ko. hehe. :P)

(there's always a next time... and by then i'll be prepared. muahahaha!! :D)

patayan...

...bukas. sigurado. balak ko kasing ayusin yung mga dokumento na kailangan para sa pagkuha ng passport. leche, ang dami pala! (di naman ganun kadami. pero madami para sa akin kasi isa lang ang meron ako dun sa mga kailangan. demet!)

eto ang mga kailangan ko:

4 passport id pictures (white background, collared shirt)
nso birth certificate
2 valid ids

di ba ang konti lang? yung sa passport pictures at nso birth certificate kayang matapos bukas... tingin ko. pero yung sa valid ids. sana kaya bukas. isa lang kasi yung valid id ko e. yung company id ko ngayon. e sobrang tagal pa naman ang proseso para dun sa ibang valid ids. buwan ata ang itatagal bago makakuha ng sss id or driver's license id e. yung nbi clearance na lang ang ang pag-asa ko para mabuo ko yung 2 valid ids. kaya lang... tsanginis yan, pahirapan ang pagkuha ng nbi clearance pag dati kang dost scholar. kailangan ko pa kasing kumuha ng clearance sa dost para dun sa nbi clearance. tuloy imbes na nasa muntunlipa na ako para kumuha ng nso at nbi, pupunta pa tuloy ako ng bicutan para sa pesteng dost clearance. demet.

sana matapos ko lahat to bukas.

~~~

(bagong pahirap na naman pag nanalo ako dun sa singapore trip. kasi kailangan ko na namang kumuha ng travel clearance nun. pero oks lang. sulet naman yun e. :D)

charing slick rick!

i'm watching less and less of tv and listening to more and more of radio. the reason being that the only chance i can watch tv is during early mornings and evenings and the shows airing in that time slot is simply unbearable and/or tiresome. mornings you have morning shows which are basically the same. evenings you have the same old uninspired teleseryes. on the other hand the radio programs on the radio are great during mornings and evenings. and it's a plus that i can listen to the radio anywhere. (that is if my phone has still juice)

here's my weekly schedule of radio listening...

mondays to thursdays

6am - 9am:

* good times with mo (89.9) - this is an awesome radio show infamous for its strip tuesdays and forbidden questions wednesdays. most of the time you hear dj mo complaining about anything and everything but he does have a point more often than not. then there's super gay guy mojo jojo who'd hit on any cute or macho sounding caller. add to this mix the gorgeous andi9 but is andi10 in my book. and before i forget there's little man guile who is a 12(?) year old boy who is very vocal and has as much as crazy thoughts as dj mo. watch out for their funny games some of which are porn star or athlete, sports car or gay bar, ang yabang mo!, who is mojo jojo, etc.

* sam vs sam (99.5) - sam y g and sam oh are a great tandem. sam y g with his manyak hirits and sam oh with her coy remarks are simply funny as hell. also there's banker issa in her non-air conditioned booth who adds more umph to the show. watch out for titillating tuesdays and a daily dose of chi chi.

9pm - 12am:

* boy's night out (89.9) - this show is a laugh trip! king dj logan, slick rick and tonytoni are the bomb. this show is the reason that i get to laugh everyday. kdl's ideas are simply hilarious and his hirits are right on time. slick rick's daily news are outrageous and surprising. guinea pig tonytoni is a good sport in their ever changing contests. watch out for surprise contest (kropek or chicharon, mane o wala, katas or gatas), pinoy slang, news that didn't quit made the headlines and radio tabloid. but most of all watch out for tito brando braganza and his sexytime voice when he drops by.

friday

6am - 9am:

*sheesha with shivaker (99.5) - guru shivaker on the captain's seat. ever wondered how a indian guy would sound in the radio? well here's your chance to know the answer to that question. countless of times this man has been reprimanded and suspended by the kpb but he always come back swinging. i think you already have an idea of the content of this show when i said that the kbp is always hot on the guru's tail. watch out for queer eye for the bumbay and when the guru tries to sing along with his guest's songs and when he gives dancing lessons.

saturday

3pm - 6pm:

* the boys are out (89.9) - a watered down version of the boys night out since they're broadcasting in the afternoon and at a different venue. still entertaining none the less.

sunday

9:30am - 12:30pm

* cherry and paul (96.3) - gah! you got me. this show is for those hopeless romantic types. cherry and paul have sensible and contrasting insights with matters of the heart. you'll be surprised that you'd be able to relate to some of the problems of the listeners that share their predicament with cherry and paul on air.

and oh, all these radio programs play beautiful music. ;)

to my future girlfriend/fiancé/wife

i promise that i will propose to you properly. i will slave away saving up half of my monthly salary for a year to buy you the rock. i will be creative as much as possible when i propose. hot air balloon ride during sunrise with cold sparkling champagne, maybe. romantic candlelit dinner with live four piece string music in the background, maybe. giant billboard in edsa professing my unwaivering love and how i want to spend the rest of my life with you, maybe. stopping a pba game in araneta colosseum crowd and cameras (and practically the whole nation) focused on us while i wait for your reply, maybe. all of these are possible scenarios (although all are clichés and thus not creative). it may or may not happen. but one thing is for sure, expect me to drop on one knee and ask for your hand, in the corniest possible way, in marriage.

i wonder if all females name their breasts...

hmmm... if i'm a woman i'd name mine makatas at maganda.

yeh. apir! mmmm....

you had me at no hello

remember this? well i haven't played in while because of a couple of reasons. in order for me to start this properly i have to be not sleepy(1), not preoccupied with other thoughts(2), and the type of van i'm riding should have a dyip style of seating the passengers(3). last thursday i played on my way home and man oh man i was floored by the pretty girl that was seating across me. with her cute baby doll shoes, shin length flowing white skirt, semi-fitting sleeveless yellow blouse, small plain white cylindrical hand bag, shiny black hair pony tailed with bangs falling in just the right places that highlighted her gentle features, who wouldn't? and it's quite a plus that she was not (a) gud. gud as in geographically undesirable date.

so i was in a sort of predicament. as if approaching a girl out of nowhere isn't hard enough for me, i have to do it(?) inside a moving vehicle. so i was squeezing all the juice inside my brain on how to introduce myself to her when *poof!* it came to me. what i'd do is get off on her stop and i'll just offer to take her home. i know doing this out of nowhere will be so psycho. so i needed one more little ingredient to complete my devious concoction. i need it to rain. rain as in pouring. not a drizzle of puppies and kittens but a horde of english mastiffs and tigers! well actually not that hard. hehe. just enough that she would be more than glad to be with me under my umbrella. (yes, this is a bit stalker-ish but under the current circumstance then, i thought it was genius. and oh before anyone steals this from me, i want to patent this move as the sukob na diga.)

it was drizzling in makati, raining in bicutan and sucat but bugger, not a single drop in alabang, just heavy dark clouds looming and mocking. a rain dance production number in my mind spurted. so while i was frantic in my mind i was calm outside but i was staring. i know it's not polite to stare but i just couldn't help myself. i picked up a few info while i was "looking intently." she probably was a fresh grad looking for a job in makati. nice! how did i come to that conclusion? elementary my dear watson, she was holding a large brown envelope type thingie, the one where you keep your chest x-rays. and if you'd ever have an x-ray you'd know that on the envelope they write some details of the patient, like name and age. (now, i'd like to thank god for blessing me with 20/20 vision.) she was 19. a bit off my 5 years give or take age limit but i'd be willing to bend my rules just this time. last name: de los santos. very filipino. great! first name: maria xxxxxxx. gah! not that name again. but then again when will i get the chance to meet someone as pretty as her? given name should not have "maria" or any version of it rule: waived... so as long as it rains before my stop. my stop came, no rain.

i got off.

ten minutes after i was in the house it pours. curses!

family ties

i feel for those children whose parents stayed together for them. parents would think that it's the more sensible thing to do; that when things don't work out between them they'd stay together for the sake of their kids. in some ways it's better. a whole family is better than a broken one. but wouldn't a broken family be better than a whole one where the parents are constantly bickering with each other?

children might not have the ability to comprehend the complexity of what's really happening but they know that something is wrong. they know that what they have now, a family, isn't really a family.

(hmmm... another one of those twisted thoughts that i have. flame away.)

looking good

we men don't get compliments. compared to women we really don't get any. with women it's second nature to compliment one another. with men, it's like admitting that you go to pink bars when you praise other men. and when it comes to complimenting the opposite sex, men do it rarely (and rarely sincere) and when they do it you know it's just buttering up (if you know what i mean) or they were forced into it. when women say something nice about men you know it's genuine but men generally screws it all up by thinking that it's a come on and thus in turn women get turned off by this immaturity and they then are hesitant to compliment men.

so i was quite surprised when a friend i haven't seen in a while (about five++ months) told me that i looked good. instinct told me that i have to compliment her back but i didn't. i didn't because i didn't want to say something just for the sake of saying it. (on hindsight, she really did looked good new-hair slim-figure and all.) so i just thanked her. which turned out to be great because she told me another compliment. sweet!

forward to next day. my officemate told me that i was blooming. thinking back on what happened the day before that, i just thanked her. yep, there was another compliment after that. dude!

so for you guys out there if you get complimented just say thanks and see good results.

(hmmm... but maybe i only got complimented because i haven't seen them in quite a while. (girl #1 works abroad hence the not seeing applies. girl #2 is indeed my officemate but we don't get to see each other because i always always stay at my place.) maybe i just looked different to them. fresh maybe?)

okay now you can now bash me. begin by saying how conceited and insecure i am at the same time. that'd be a good start. hehe. ;)

look, i'm you're daddy. who's you're daddy?

you know who's more powerful than a jedi knight? a woman.

jedi use mind tricks to persuade you to do something they want by harnessing the force. women, well they also use mind tricks too, but they do it better because they don't need something imaginary to aid them.

let's say you say "i love you" to a jedi. to appease you he waves he's hand and says "you do not love me." (because strictly speaking jedis can not fall in love. not unless they want to crossover to the dark side.) and in a blink of an eye you're feelings for the jedi is gone. but somehow you feel that something is off. you can't quite put your finger on it but you know that it's there.

but when you say "i love you" to a woman, you know what they say back? they say, "i think i love you too." and you being the simpleton that you are, is already satisfied when you heard those three words strung together in one complete sentence. you know it's not exactly what you want to hear but hey, you think to yourself that she'll come around and eventually say it the way you heard it on your mind. but she never does. so later when all goes wrong with you're relationship and you're arguing with her she throws this line, "i never said that i love you." and you being the all remembering elephant that you are, can't argue with her because she never did said "i love you." so you're at a loss for words and it all ends there, with her saying the last word.

and don't go saying that l337 j3[)i5 \/\/i77 P\/\/|\|20r any woman's behind using the force and the light saber because the truth is any woman can (and will) own any jedi knight with her bone-thugz like and cyclops-like skills. no hand wavings or swinging light sabers a mock needed, just simple plain machine gun like speed commanding words along with the blazing red ruby eyes stare. believe me any sane jedi knight would rather face a gazillion darth mauls than a woman.

gah! my eyes!

sa isip ko habang tumutugtog yung pupil, "sana may sumikat pa silang kanta." maganda naman yung mga kanta nila. tinugtog pa nga nila yung alapaap at pare ko e. pero tingin ko para lang masiyahan yung mga nanonood.

wala akong matinong bidyo nila. nangangawit na kasi ako at di ko masyadong nagustuhan yung set nila. lalo na nung kinanta nila yung you'll be safe here na theme song ng spirits at isang bandila(?) na theme song bandila. di ako nag-enjoy sa mga kanta nilang yun kasi naiisip ko si korina at si joseph bitangcol. bleh. pero hayup si mike! isang diyos na halimaw sa gitara! hayup!

meron pa akong ibang vids nung concert pero di ko na ipo-post. maririnig nyo kasi ako na sumasabay sa kanta e. ampanget! hehe.

i've been listening to a lot of the beatles lately, particularly the album where this song came from. this song is probably one of the less popular songs in sgt. pepper's lonely heart's club band but one of my favorite songs by the beatles. have i mentioned that i like obscure songs?

now go listen... :)

for me

text: and it always hurts the first time. what you're going through made me recall what i've been through twice in the past. it was tough. i had to be less romantic if i wanted to survive. see why i told you that it's only love. because that's what i've learned. i don't put love in a pedestal anymore. it's not the world. it's not everything. for me.

reply: hmm... i can't do that. because love has to be in a pedestal. i'll survive eventually, but a lot slower when i think that way. i can be less romantic but i can not think less of love. i just can't live in a it's-just-love world when love is everything. for me.

forever is such a great way of romanticizing everything.

ang saya ng kantang to. :D kailangan ko nang magpa-hospital. hehe. :P

~~~

nga pala si bodjie dasig ang kumanta nito. naalala nyo pa sya? at hindi sya yung kasama nila pong at kiko... :P

hypothetically...

let say i've been seeing somebody exclusive for a about a month now and we've been out on several dates already. i like this somebody and she likes me back. and just recently we've become official.

the thing is this, i still have a thing for my ex who i never see or talk to these days but who i still constantly think about. we're not emotionally involved now, at least on her part.

and there's this other thing. actually another person... who has a thing for me. we always hang out whenever i'm not with my official. i do like her but you know, not in that way. (or that's what i think...)

so hypothetically, am i a cheat? would you consider thinking of another person as more than a friend while in your a relationship an act of disloyalty? or does it have to cross over to something physical before you see it as cheating? hypothetically...

everybody has a threshold for pain and they say that when the pain is too much you'll pass out.

i need to pass out.

fans kita matagal na

panalo! ang saya ng inuman at tugtugan kagabi! sulit! gusto ko pa! :D

parang meron ata si aya kagabi kaya parang ang sungit nya. pero ang ganda nya pa rin. at ang ganda ng boses nya! buong-buo pa rin kahit na mataas na yung kinakanta nya. elibs! yun nga lang sabi nga ni jae parang tinatamad sila. :P

bow ako kay sir raimund. langya, ang galeng! ngayon ko lang napanood ng live yung sandwich at ang saya. (kahit na hindi hyper si raimund. hmmm... next time dapat mapanood ko na sila na nakatayo si raims.) ang ganda ng mga covers nila at ang ayos ng mga transitions nila. nung natapos nga yung set ng sandwich di ko na maalala yung set ng imago e. hehe. mas nakakadala yung set ng sandwich.

bad trip! nai-record ko yung set ng sandwich at ilang songs ng imago. di ko nga lang ma-share ng maayos kasi hindi sya "readable" format sa mga naghohost ng music. (imeem, multiply, youtube) amr file kasi e. tsk. o well, sosolohin ko muna yung mga bagong kanta ng sandwich. share ko na lang pag sinipag akong i-convert to mp3 or whatever. hehe.

highlight ng gabi ko ay nung maging super fan boys kami nila jem, lex at jae at nagpapic kami kasama si raimund at marcus(!). oo, marcus!

this takes me back to when i was about six years old sitting in the front passenger seat of my grandparents old galant cruising along the mangga lined streets of the base (basa air base) while this song is playing on the alpine stereo.

listen to that falsetto! hehe. :P

see you when i get there?

so i heard/read from somewhere ( i really don't remember where i get these kind of random stuff) that when you die and presumably go to heaven (if you believe that such a place exist) that you won't be reunited with anyone you know in the life you've lived. thus you won't get the chance to be with your family and friends, which in my opinion is the most important part in your life, when you cross-over.

personally i wouldn't want to believe in this concept but... i think it would be better if i did. you see if i did i'd be more conscious of the time i spend with them and as such i would maximize every second that i'm with them. i'd be more appreciative of their efforts to connect with me and be thankful that i have them. wouldn't that be better?

(okay, before i totally fall for this way of thinking and be converted into a tree-animal-people-hugger-save-the-whales-save-the-world person could someone do a little research on this? i'd do the research myself but i wouldn't dare go near anything related to god lest i want to be incinerated. i suggest you start with the bible. keep me posted, yah?)

justice is crap.

you know the tv show. man it blows. the show has some star power (jack of dawson's creek and jack(?) of alias) but the acting is so... crap. and the lines are too cheesy. gah!

(or maybe i wasn't paying attention. o well...)

~~~

during

i caught up with the current episodes grey's anatomy on studio 23. yey me! this means that i don't have to buy the season 3 dvd. but it also means that i can't afford to miss an episode. so if your planning to ask me out on a thursday night, don't. besides i look my worst on thursdays.

on with the show. i liked last night's episode especially the mini-cliff hanger at the end. seriously, derek, make up your mind already. seriously. and merideth, your a smart girl. make the right choice. (although i think that one's intelligence dwindles down to nothing when things like this happen.) but common, doctor mcdreamy or vet robin? pfft! easy. hehe.

last night's song: click

~~~

after

pbb: i'm watching this less and less. probably because the characters aren't that appealing to me. although... wendy... yessss...

princess hours: final episode last night? wah? i missed the ending? damn... but it's quite obvious who ended up with who. all shows must have their happy ending, at least for the main characters.

i was quite disappointed that monique and troy, two of my favorite characters in the show, weren't in the behind the scenes show last night. o well...

and there'd be another show entitled prince hours that is a spin off(?) of princess hours? i say, wtfbbq!

promise me you'll wait for me

i know this is so un-me.

i want to thank myxilog for succesfuly drilling this song into my head every morning (i ain't got no cable so no mtv for me) , prompting me to download this on the net (i do have a copy of the song but the quality is not that good so...) and playing it over and over again (i believe that to cure lss one must listen to the lss song).

now i want to know how to play this. paging jem...

so what have you been up to during the five day weekend?

me i just bummed at home watching a bunch of dvds mostly tv series. here's what i watched (chronological order),

friends season 1 (thursday) [hahaha!]
heroes episodes 1-16 (friday) [peter is so dreamy. claire is jail bait.]
grey's anatomy season 1 & 2 (saturday) [seriously, derek, make up your mind. seriously...]
friends season 2 (sunday) [om my god!]
prison break episodes 1-8 (monday) [michael scofield is too pretty to be in prison. i think that's why he needs to get out.]

can you spell couch potato?

well i did get got off of my lazy bum sunday. me, my mom and my sister went out and celebrated my birthday. hooray for late birthday munch outs! :D

here's a pic of me and my ma being silly. my sister orchestrated this picture...


five day weekends are great! we should institutionalize them. hehe.

so how was yours? :)

thanks!

just want to send out my thanks to all the people who remembered to greet me yesterday. :)

and many thanks to allen, luz and tseri for their gift. sexy time here i come! :D

thanks y'all!

this is such an overrated day

dc

as for now i'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
and sit alone and wonder, how you're making out
and as for me i wish that i was anywhere, with anyone, making out

your hair it's everywhere
screaming infidelities and taking its wear

series

two straight weeks that i've missed watching c.s.i. and grey's anatomy. i suck.

good thing that holy week is coming. more than enough time to catch up on episodes that i've missed. five day ps2, movie and series marathons here i come!

yep, no penetensya for me. i know. i suck.

(must stock up on dvds and games. must. must.)

new!

so how do you like the new template? :)

i must

you know what i want more than anything else in the world right now? a good solid eight hours of sleep. i really really really want that. if only sleep can be bought.

i think it's safe to say that it's quite obvious, dark circles underneath my eyes and all, that i'm deprived of sleep. just yesterday my team leader had to poke me to wake me up from my overtime-during-lunch-power-nap. see, the lengths i had to go through just to steal a few minutes of sleep when i could have been doing something else, i.e. eating.

it all boils down due to lack of time. it's just that there's so much to do and so little time to do it.

or is just because i suck at budgeting my time? maybe i should prioritize sleeping over work or doing my daily chores or watching tv or playing those damn blasted addictive video games or eating.

i really don't understand this statement:

"i trust you. i just don't trust you when you're with them."

shouldn't trust be absolute?

it's like saying,

"i have nothing against you. as a whole you're a good person. it's just that i don't agree with your decisions."

meh.

elbi!

ang haba dapat ng ipo-post ko tungkol sa pag-cut ko ng trabaho nung wednesday para pumunta sa elbi. pero tinatamad na ako e. hehe. :P basta sobrang sulit ng pagpunta ko dun. kahit na ilang oras lang ang nilagi ko dun. iba kasi talga sa elbi e. nakakatanggal ng stress. nakakatanggal ng pagod. sa elbi parang ang simple talga ng buhay. haay...

~~~

pinuntahan ko si nikki sa bahay nila. nabasa ko kasi sa blog nya na nahagip sya (ng motor). buti na lang oks lang sya. walang nabale. pero bugbug yung katawan nya. at mukhang next week pa sya gagaling.

tagal din naming nagusap. siguro may tatlong oras. lahat ata ng mga interes namin napagusapan namin. kakatuwa lang na parang kahapon lang kami nagkita at tinutuloy lang namin yung pinaguusapan namin kahit na sa totoo lang di kami madalas magkita. hmmm... actually ganito yung pakiramdam ko sa lahat ng mga kaibigan ko. ikaw, ganun din ba?

~~~

kasama ko nga pala si luz sa elbi. pero half-day lang sya. kailangan nya kasing bumalik sa manila para magtrabaho. bah! pero oks na rin. saya ng usapan namin. dami kong na-realize sa usapan namin. at dun ko lang naalala na paborito ko nga palang kulay nung high school ay green. green? yech!

at gusto ko lang i-document yung bet namin. para di ko makalimutan. (pero mukha naman na di ko makakalimutan. just in case lang.) di ko na idedetalye yung bet mismo. sabihin ko na lang yung premyo. one way trip sa kahit anong parte ng pilipinas. sweet! sweet para sa akin kasi mukhang mamaanalo ako sa bet namin. hehe. so camiguin here i come!

~~~

balik tayo ng elbi. sama ka ha? tara!

it was worth it

got tons of work to do because of what i did yesterday. details later. (or tomorrow. :P) all i can say is that i'd do it again in a heartbeat!

kulang ako ng string. :P at tsanginis na aso yan! na-distract ako. :S bah!

crap!

i feel bad.

i lost my money clip and i feel really really bad. don't ask me how much was clipped in it. i don't care about the money.

you see it was a gift. corny as it may sound, it was worth much much more because of it has sentimental value. and don't go saying casually that it's just a money clip and i should just go buy another one. bah!

but there's still a faint glimmer of hope that i'll be able to find it. i just have to be patient and wait till tomorrow, hope that someone picked it up, didn't pocketed it for himself and return it to someone i know, and me asking that someone if by any chance he'd come across a money clip. long shot? perhaps. but i think it's worth a try.

we'll just see how this pans out.

for now, i'll be miserable for the rest of the day...

thank god it's friday... really...

last friday me, tseri and birthday boy mark met up to have dinner and acompany tseri in buying a laptop bag. of course we, or at least me, forgot that it was payday friday coinciding with a three day weekend mall wide sale. it was christmas rush season all over again. this also meant that all food establishments were brimming with people. good thing (for me) that i wasn't that hungry yet. (considering that i haven't eaten yet during that day. it was a friday. sacrifice!)

we ended up eating at chicken inasal(?). we had bangus belly steak, sinigang na bangus sa bataw, and boneless danggit. it was mmm-mmm-mmm delicious. you should try and eat there.

after dinner we went to sm to look for tseri's laptop bag. while i was buying rice for my dog, tseri and mark already saw a neat and cheap to boot laptop bag. it was made by ilustrazio (first time that i heard of this brand). and oh, it had a lifetime warranty which covers everything! woot! second option laptop bag made by samsonite was very elegant while still being functional. but it only had a two year warranty covering only the stitches of the bag and three times more(!) expensive. but it was way way way more pogi than the previous bag. so tseri had this dillema of choosing between a more practical bag well within her budget or a bag which is a tad bit more off her budget but which is far more better than the other. a dillema which was solved after a quick black gulaman break. guess which bag she bought. of course it was the samsonite bag. personally i'd make the same decision. the bag was more expensive but longevity-wise it would probably last longer. and a samsonite bag never goes out of style.

(i pointed this out to tseri and mark while tseri was contemplating on what bag to buy: that i found it funny that the salesman for ilustrazio had to volunteer the specs of the bag while the salesman for the samsonite bag only had to show us the bag. the bag talked for it self. just goes to show what an established brand name can do.)

oi tse! kamusta ang bagong bag? pahiram nga. hehe.

everybody is raving about 300. 300 this, 300 that. so just to be different let me tell you about the things that i didn't like about 300.

the trailer - don't get me wrong the trailer was well made but it's just that why did they have to put most, if not all, the freakin' good lines in the movie in the trailer? it kinda lessened the oomph factor of the lines when it was delivered in the movie. but not so much that it ruined the whole feel of the scene.

(and oh, i was relieved that leonidas has lines that he didn't screamed out.)

people in the movie house - oi, when i want a play by play commentary on the movie i am currently watching i'll go ask quinito henson to do so. nothing ruins the moment more when you go saying,

"lalaban pa yan. tignan mo. ... ... ay, hindi na. madami kasing kalaban e."

shut your trap man and watch the movie.

the news - apparently people in iran(?) are offended by the movie. a movie which is based on a graphic novel. a work of fiction. don't read too much into it. political and social undertones blah blah blah. just watch the movie and take it for what it is, just pure not-so-clean testosterone blood thirst induced carnage! yeh!

well that's about it. everything else about the movie is f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c.

ang drama naman ni travis at ni jasmin. high school palang ganun na sila. ba't nung high school di naman ako ganun a. wala nga akong kilalang ganun ka-drama ang lab layp nung high school e. ganun ka ba nung high school? di ko nga alam kung ba't ko pa pinapanood yun. panget na nga nilang umarte sobrang predictable pa yung story. bleh! hmmm... pero ang pogi ni brandon dun! (yung malditong kapatid ni travis.) (pang pogi lang talga yung pangalan na brandon. brandon ng incubus. brandon ng the killers. brandon ng smm.) may man-crush nga ako dun e. pero sana di na lang sya nagpagupit kasi masbagay sa kanya ang long hair. danggit! parang nagiging ganito na ako a. magpopost na din ba ako ng picture ko? hehe. tama na nga 'to.

"lung of love, leaves me breathless"

i'm addicted to frou frou. i was as an instant fan by the end of the first time i saw and heard their video for breathe in. that was way back 2002(?). five years and relentless scouring of music stores for their one and only album later, it is only now that i am able to listen to details. i'm totally lost, but in a good way, in between the dreamy layered voice of imogen and the peculiar but soothing and ingenious arrangements of guy. and now i'm wishing that i should've had their album since it was released then. (it never occurred to me that i could've bought their album online. but that's expensive!) and i do believe that if i ever got a copy of their album then, i'd still be listening to it until now. (well not continuously... :P) too bad that they didn't get the attention that they should've gotten then. so after only one album released, guy and imogen decided to call it quits and disbanded the duo to pursue their craft as solo artists.

so if you like electronica with a dash of soul and playful lyrics you should give frou frou a listen. satisfaction guaranteed!

talk is cheap

wednesday last week me and my ate ross had dinner at the kitchen. (pictures here.) it was only then that i realized that i missed talking with someone. you see after that happened and my mom moved to pampanga permanently, my word usage dropped to less than a hundred words per day. (and please don't ask me how many words i actually say on the weekends. :S)

the anti-social me rarely talk with my officemates. and on the rare occassion that i do it will be regarding work and it'll probably go something like this,

me: miss xxxx... bakit po ganito ang yadayada? di ba po dapat dayadaya?
miss xxxx: ahh, kasi ganito yan. (insert longish explanation here.)
me: ahh, okay.

that little dialogue has a range of 15 to 20 words. and here's a list of words and phrases that i may use during the day.

1. peewee - my dog's name; minimum: 1; maximum: 3
2. bayad po - when paying my fare; minimum: 0; maximum: 3
3. hello. good morning/afternoon - when answering the phone; minimum: 0; maximum: 3
4. thanks/salamat - after paying for something or after getting my change; minimum: 1 ; maximum: 3;
5. okay - affirmative response during any conversation; minimum: 2; maximum: 6
6. sige po - alternate affirmative response; minimum: 1; maximum 5
7. hinde po - negative response during any conversation; minimum: 0; maximum 3
6. isang belgian - when waffle buying; minimum: 3 times a week; maximum: 5 times a week
7. isang iced tea - when iced tea buying; minimum: once a week; maximum of 5 times a week

so on my talkative days my word usage would be close to a hundred. ehe.

it's not that i'm complaining that i don't get to talk as often as i used to. if i can get away with it, i'd probably do away with talking. more than talking what i really miss is the interaction that is tied with conversations, the exchange of ideas and the general feeling of connection. (don't bother convincing me to talk with my officemates.)

so when you see me, the anti-social caveman with semi-pressed clothes lurching around, go try and strike a conversation with me. at first the caveman in me might take a pouncing stance while raising his imaginary club ready to strike, but don't be surprised just keep on talking. soothe the beast with your words and be prepared for a lengthy conversation. just also be ready for a hefty dose of savory halitosis breath.

(oi! that last part was just a joke. thanks to ate for that last piece of idea. and ate don't go riding any boats/ships/airplanes without checking first if it'll pass the bermuda triangle ha. ;))

if it's true, it'll stay with you.

kung totoo nga na pag nakakagat mo yung dila/labi/pisngi mo ay may nakakaalala sayo, grabe naman yung (mga) nakakaalala sa akin kasi ilang beses ko nakagat yung dila/labi/pisngi ko kahapon... :(

bigyan mo nga ako ng number... :P

tsika!

di ako naniniwala kay james yap. kasi ba't di pa sya napapatawad ni kris kung walang nangyari?

yah horsie!

ang hirap magplantsa!!

kahapon kasi kinuha ko yung pinalaba ko. balak ko sana na i-hanger na lang yung mga damit ko. e di ko ma-take na ganun sya ka-gusot kaya after 25 years wala akong nagawa kundi ilabas yung kabayo, wisikan ng konting tubig ang mga damit ko at pasadahan ng mainit na plantsa ang mga 'to. (oo, after 25 years. since birth kasi si mama na ang nagpaplantsa ng mga damit ko. meron ngang mga okasyon na nagplantsa ako pero pa-isa-isang t-shirt lang.) grabe napagod akong magplantsa samantalang anim na t-shirt at tatlong pantalon lang ang pinlantsa ko. ang tagal ko pa nga bago ako natapos e, gitna ng super twins hanggang gitna ng princess hours. bad trip pa kasi di ako pwedeng humawak ng tubig. di tuloy ako nakapaghilamos at toothbrush agad. (dapat kasi ginawa ko muna yun bago ako magplantsa. next time...) oks naman yung kinalabasan nung mga pinlantsa ko. at least sa standards ko. hehe.

kaya konting pabor naman, pag may nakasalubong kayong caveman na medyo gusot ang damit, pansinin nyo na mukha na syang caveman at wag na ang gusot nyang damit. ayt?

nagulat ako sa tawag na natanggap ko kaninang umaga. di ko talga in-expect yun. kaya nga di ako nakapagsalita agad. parang di mag-register sa utak ko na sya yung nasa kabilang linya. naguluhan ako nun, na-off balance. (hanggang ngayon parang ganun pa rin ang pakiramdam ko.) parang gusto ko syang kausapin na ayaw. gusto kasi matagal ko na syang hindi nakausap. ayaw kasi di ko naman masasabi sa kanya lahat nang gusto kong sabihin. gusto kasi di ko na alam kung ano nang nagyayari sa buhay nya. ayaw kasi di naman nya maike-kwento lahat lahat nang nangyayari sa kanya. gusto kasi miss ko na sya. ayaw kasi miss ko na sya.

pero mas gusto ko na nakausap ko sya.

we never really do get the things that we want. so we merely are forced to settle for things that we already have.

but that ain't right...

bloody smashing!

casino royale is bloody good! i didn't expect it to be at par with the other james bond movies, or dare i say better than the others. i do admit that i was skeptic about craig filling the shoes of bond, mainly because he doesn't look like a bond to me, ice-cold-blue eyes buffed body and all. but surprisingly he as the new james bond embodies 007 as he should be, ruthless and suave, witty and charming. story-wise casino royale is a very typical bond movie so you shouldn't expect to be wowed of the (un)expected and (obvious) underlying plot twists. although what surprised me was the way they did a great job on humanizing james. the movie is full of action be it on the streets, a bathroom, a falling building or even at the poker table. but save for bond's sleek aston dashboard you won't be seeing much of bond's gadgets. (maybe because bond in this movie is a newbie double o agent?) what doesn't lack in this movie is the clever dialogue.

vesper: you know james... i just want you to know that if all that was left of you was your smile and your little finger you'd still be more of a man than anyone i've ever met.
james: that's because you know what i can do with my little finger.
vesper: i have no idea.
james: but you're aching to find out.
vesper: you're not going to let me in there, are you? you've got your armor back on. that's that.(?)
james: (mush mode on) i have no armor left. you've stripped it from me. whatever is left of me... whatever is left of me, whatever i am, i'm yours.

the short: this movie is a must see for james bond aficionados. for everyone else, see it to become a bond fan.

apocalypto is brutally good! it's braveheart meets the last of the mohicans meets the predator (minus the alien and the explosions) theme keeps you at the edge of your seat for almost the entire movie. although there's a bit of a lull, albeit berable, for about ten to fifteen minutes. but after that it's spear-throwing arrow-piercing rock-hurling mace-bashing knife-slitting bone-crunching non-stop-running action action action. i'd recommend you not to watch this movie if you have a weak stomach. (if you can watch braveheart's battle sequences without flinching you're good. otherwise go get another movie.) the morbid me finds it very entertaining whenever i see those blunt and not so blunt instruments decapitating flailing bodies. ehe. what i also liked in the movie were the costumes. (or lack thereof.) the tattoos were awesome, the body piercing were gruesome and the tribal "colors" were very distinguishable from other tribes. the way gibson built up the simple story was very absorbing, specificaly how jaguar paw's character developed from tainted-with-fear tribesman to a determined prophesized animal. (*mini spoiler ahead.) i especially liked it when jaguar paw emerged from the black quicksand(?) indomitable and unwavering ready to face his savage pursuers. coolness.

the short: brutality owns!

(oh, and i falied to mention that all through out the movie, genuine(?) aztec language was used. don't worry, sub titles included.)

see yah there!

ultra cool

it's been a while since i last bought something for myself, not because of necessity, but out of pure indulgence. and most of the time before i make a purchase i usually think it through if its worth it. well last saturday i bought something out of impulse. i bought me a copy of hiki's latest album, ultra blue. (i'm currently listening to it as i write this.) i was waiting for like forever for this album to be available here and finally it's here! (thanks comic alley!)

i'm quite relieved that the hiki that i learned to love is back. (her last album, exodus, was a complete and utter let down. but i still loved it none the less. but it was so not hiki. and good thing that it wasn't the "exodus" of her career after that album was released. made me think of the time when the eheads decided to change directions (and management) and released their all english album fruitcake. i can't help but to draw parallels between the two artists and i was hoping that hiki's comeback would not be the start of her decline. but hiki's comeback would be less complicated considering that she's a solo artist... hmmm... i digress. sorry about that.)

i'll leave you guys with a music video of one of her singles in ultra blue. this is my song of the moment. enjoy.



(baah... i was planning on posting her video "be my last" from youtube but apparently youtube is blocked today. o well... edit: not anymore! :D)

jaa.

chick show

i really liked last nights episode of grey's anatomy. especially when merideth was doing her monologue thing. and talk about the ending. whoa, what a cliff hanger. but we all know what's gonna happen to george... (edit: oops... i meant george. hehe.)

"kaya nga ako nagtataka sayo kung bakit wala ka pang girlfriend. kasi di ka naman mahirap mahalin..."

is it just me or do people with braces have the same smiles? :D

ang ganda mo

talaga nga bang gumaganda ang eb babes (lalo na yung may dimples! ano nga kasing pangalan nun??) o nasasanay lang ako sa kanila? kung sa bagay, pag iniisip ko pag tumatagal ang isang bagay nasasanay ka na din makita to. lalo na pag araw-araw mo tong nakikita o wala kang choice. (hmmm... wowowee o eat bulaga? di ba parang no choice ka na rin? hehe. :P) mahirap talaga pag no choice, wala kang ibang mapili kundi iyon...

hmmm... pero ang ganda namang no choice ng eb babes! buti na lang. hehe.
