this day pretty much sucked. i got stuck in traffic for 3 friggin' hours going to makati. then i was cemented in a lunch line for 30 minutes. if i wasn't craving for a kfc wow steak i would've instantly left the queue when i figured that it was gonna take an eternity. after eating to my heart's content i spent yet another 3 hours trying to answer 30 questions of which i really had no idea, well maybe just a little, how to answer. (bonus points to anyone who can guess the outcome of that ordeal.) decided to go to the mall to buy new socks to replace the rain drenched socks that i was wearing. (ahh, that felt good. new socks are 100% soothing!) the next 3 hours was spent going from one shoe store to the next in hopes to find a fitting replacement to my 3 year old sneakers. couldn't find anything that was well within the range of my budget so i'll be buying a new pair next pay day. i hope.
things started to get better after i splurged on 3 albums (chillitees - extra rice, eraserheads - fruitcake and mayonaise - tercera) i saw matt ranillo iii. (1st celebrity sighting) i was scouirng the many food establishments for some comfort food. i ended up at jollibee buying a super meal. it had the ultimate comfort food - the chicken joy which was the center of the meal accompanied by half a palabok, some corn and carrots sprinkled with burnt garlic (ugh!) and two tiny square cuts of supposedly red ribbon brownies. it was belly-cious! while eating i weighed the merits of texting a friend, which henceforth will be known and refered to as tuna pie. i always remember tuna pie when i eat at jollibee. opted not to text her though.
eat dinner then go home that was the plan. but as most simple plans it was foiled by the long long line for the vans going home. really, i should've expected that with the rush hour, incestant rain and all the construction going on in the south. assessed that it was better to wait it out. went to timezone to play some tekken to pass the time. meh, i suck. won 4 games and lost 3. i was leaving timezone when i walked past jennica garcia. (2nd celebrity sighting) quickly did a turn around to some oggling. and oggled i did! man she was really pretty. i'm not really that into thin girls but for her i will make and exception. she was wearing a pink tube dress and it made me wonder how it stayed, she being flat in some areas. so there was i trying to be discrete when lo and behold another celebrity was before my eyes. it was cherry ann kubota. (3rd celebrity sighting) they left and so did i.
hmmm... the day is actually turning out to be fine. and it will only get better as i end this post with wholesome thoughts of jennica, listinening to the albums i bought and drinking a cold one before going to sleep. cheers to tomorrow!

transformers: revenge of the fallen
transformers: rise of the fallen (ROTF) is like porn. you don't watch porn for the story (or lack thereof) or the superb acting (or lack therof), you watch it for the girls and well, sex. in the case of ROTF there's no lack of girls and sex. actually there was only one girl but she was more than enough. (*minor spoiler alert* there this was scene in the movie where megan fox was running in slow motion amidst the chaos in the background. man it reminded me of cj parker in that infamous red one piece bathing suit running in the beach in slow motion. rar!) well actually there was also no sex either in ROTF. instead of sex there were robots, a lot of robots. robots were the sex in ROTF. and they were simply eye-gasmic.
except for some minor gripes, like how one robot didn't live up to how bad ass he was in the animated series *cough-devastator-cough* and how sometimes the robot fight scenes can be confusing (which really was no surprise because one rendered robot alone is pretty much confusing what more if there were three in the screen slugging it out), i was pretty much satisfied with the movie. maybe because i had low expectations of it after reading the dismal reviews and seeing the low ratings it got in the net but more of because i was in it because of a girl and the robots. and oh, explosions too! (if you know what i mean. ehe.)

cool device
i'm glad that my old dvd player conked out on me a couple of months ago because if it hadn't i wouldn't have bought my new and awesome dvd player. as with the usual dvd players it plays dvds (duh) and audio cds. and similar to the standard nowadays it also plays different types of media. (videos in avi format, audio files in wma and mp3 format. nice!) it also has a usb 2.0 port where it can play media files from a thumb drive or an external hard disk. once you pop in a cd or connect via usb in autoplays whatever media in can play. its media "explorer" is clean and easy to navigate displaying all the files in the usb device.
but wait there's more!
it can also rip audio cds. all you need is a cd to rip and a fairly large enough storage device where the output file will be saved. the ripping options are simple and few, the essentials:
ripping speed: normal/fast
create ID3 tags: yes/no
bitrate: 96/112/128/192/256/320 kbps
device: usb 1 (i'm guessing that other models have several devices to choose from. maybe several usb ports.)
the tracks can be selected individualy or with just one click of a button, all of them can be selected. there's also a summary of the number of tracks selected and the total playing time that is shown on the screen.
once you hit the start button it plays all the selected tracks one at a time and displays the ripping progress via a status bar and percentage completed. the resulting output file, which is in mp3 format(!), is saved in a folder RIPPING created by the dvd player in the root directory.
but wait there's more!
it can copy any file it can read from a cd/dvd to a usb device. selection of the files is similar to cd ripping track selection. it saves the files including the folders/subfolders in a folder FILES created by the dvd player.
but wait there's more!
the player itself is a space saver because its small and compact. it's about half the size of normal dvd players.
i couldn't ask for more. hmmm... well maybe TiVo eat bulaga or tayong dalawa and burn them to a dvd.
but wait there's more!

you can do magic
i was pretty much entertained with the star magic fashion show that was shown in asap last sunday. the asap stage served as the walkway for the stars and they came a struttin' to the tune of dmb's ants marching performed live by nyoy volante with another band, the name of which i can't remember. it was cool though because they had an actual violin in the arrangement.
some of the notable artist that modeled the formal wear were shaina, bea, angelica, nikki, maja, pokwang, chocolate, rayver, santino and kim chiu. of course the only ones that i actually remembered were of the female persuation. well except for santino because he was the only kid there and rayver, a.k.a. the poor poor man's richard gutierrez, not because he looked good in what he was wearing but actually because what he was wearing stood out from all of the rest (silver-gray suit with a black cravat) also because he came out with the ever so pretty maja. of course the only piece of clothing i remembered was that of worn by a man. although i did remember that green short-long dress that the ever so cute kim chiu wore because she was the only female model that didn't slightly tripped on their dresses.
but probably the scene stealer of the segment for me was when i saw this surprisingly familiar girl who came out in a stunning purple dress. she was a vision, a fairy missing a star tipped silver wand. then that beautiful image of her evoked recent viewings i had of her, all four parts of varying length, video quality and compromising, ahem, postions. let me now end this post as i pick up my jaw from the floor.

exercise
the white blank page is staring back. the blinking cursor mimicking an over reacting eye, already anticipating the blinding torrent of words that are about to come.
the taste of the first series of letters are foreign and wandering. but disappointingly too few to satisfy the potential of what might have been something of value.
