can you obtain all the platinum medals for blast corps in the littlest amount of time?

can you finish super mario 64 in twenty minutes using only sixteen stars?

can you finish metal gear solid 3: snake eater in less than two hours with a fox hound rank?

can you finish super mario bros. 3 in eleven plus minutes? (i was quite disappointed when i found out that the previous speed run that i saw for smb3 was emulated. (state save galore... bleh!) but this one is legit.Ü)

i sure can't. but these freaks sure can...

how i envy freaks.

i can feel it!

i don't love my job. but i do like it. but here comes another but...

but i'm starting not to like it. in fact i think i'm starting to hate it. but hate is such a strong word...

initially i was planning on resigning by the end of april, after i receive my mid-year bonus. hehehe.Ü but with the way things are going now, i think my quiting would be much earlier... much much earlier.

my life is relatively tranquil but thoroughly bland.

i see...

a red door and i want it painted black...

bandang october ata nun nang makatanggap ako ng text galing kay allen. naka-confine daw si zsazsa sa makati med at nangangailangan ng dugo. kung sa rotc nga nagbibigay ako para makalibre ng isang training day, kaya wala namang problema sa akin ang mag-donate ng dugo.

nadatnan namin ni allen yung dalawang officemates ni zsa na nakapagdonate na ng dugo at pauwi na. nandun din si doy na katatapos lang kuhanan ng sample. konting kamustahan muna bago kami bumaba para magpa-test kung pwede ang mga dugo namin. gulat lang namin nang makita namin si vistan at si abing habang nagaabang kami ng elevator. bibisita din pala sila. walang tao dun sa blood bank pagdating namin. di tuloy kami nakuhanan ng sample kasi nag break yung mga tao. (siguro kumain kain ng puto at... kutsinta.)

bumalik na lang kami sa kwarto ni zsa para magpalipas ng oras habang hinihintay na magbukas ang banko.syempre tuloy ang asaran at kwentuhan. niloloko pa nga nila si abing kung magdodonate din sya. inaalala rin nila yung time na si abing yung nangailangan ng dugo. pagkakaalala ko direct blood transfussion pa daw yung nangyari. maya-maya pa'y bumaba na kami nila allen para magpakuha ng dugo. na-reject kami ni allen. may sipon kasi si allen. ako naman, puyat kaya di rin pwede. buti na lang may mga kamag-anak si zsa na dumating. sila na lang ata yung nag-proxy sa amin.

di na namin naabutan si doy, vistan at abing pagbalik namin sa room ni zsa. sumibat na pala sila. 'di ko alam na yun na pala yung last time na makikita ko si marvin.

di kami close ni marvin. di ko sya naging classmate nung high school. at minsan minsan lang ako nagro-room hop sa kwarto nila sa dorm. pero madalas akong mapatawa nito dahil sa mga hirit nya. kasi tatahimik-himik din 'to tapos bigla na lang pa-punch line. at syempre di ko makakalimutan ang "sha-la-la-la" ni marvin. da best talaga!

marvs, kahit na sandali lang ang itinagal mo dito marami ka namang napasya at napamahagian ng iyong kabaitan. nadagdagan na naman kami ng kakampi dyan sa 'taas.

topak day #34: nanliligaw, naliligaw

naalala mo pa ba 'to?

jollibee commercial:

mahirap talgang umakyat ng ligaw,
baka walang hagdan

parang gusto ko nang magtago at matunaw,
taguan? kandila?

ang tatay, ang nanay, lahat nagbabantay,
ano sila, guard?

ni hindi mo mahipo ang dulo ng kamay.
baka putol

sa jollibee? sigurado ka bang sa jollibee lang?

~~~

anong magandang ibigay sa nililigawan mo?

syempre siomai at hopia. pag i-aabot mo na yung siomai ito dapat ang sasabihin mo:

this is to siomai (show my) love for you...

sabay follow up ka habang binibigay naman ang hopia:

hopia (hope yah) like it too.

nyahahahaha!

goodbye gabby

a bit of a sad but unconfirmed news. gabriel garcia marquez, one of my favorite and definitely one of the best authors of all time, is retiring due to health reasons.

the following is his farewell epistle.

~~~

if for an instant god were to forget that i am a rag doll and gifted me with a piece of life,

possibly i wouldn't say all that i think, but rather i would think of all that i say.

i would value things, not for their worth but for what they mean.

i would sleep little, dream more, understanding that for each minute we close our eyes we lose sixty seconds of light.

i would walk when others hold back, i would wake when others sleep.

i would listen when others talk, and how i would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream!

if god were to give me a piece of life, i would dress simply, throw myself face first in the sun, baring not only my body but also my soul.

my god, if i had a heart, i would write my hate on ice, and wait for the sun to show.

over the stars i would paint with a van gogh, dream a benedetti poem, and a serrat song would be the serenade i'd offer to the moon.

with my tears i would water roses, to feel the pain of their thorns, and the red kiss of their petals!

my god, if i had a piece of life, i wouldn't let a single day pass without telling people i love that i love them.

i would convince each woman and each man that they are my favorites, and i would live in love with love.

i would show men how very wrong they are to think that they cease to be in love when they grow old, not knowing that they grow old when they cease to be in love!

to a child i shall give wings, but i shall let him learn to fly on his own.

i would teach the old that death does not come with old age, but with forgetting.

so much have i learned from you, oh men!

i have learned that everyone wants to live on the peak of the mountain, without knowing that real happiness is in how it is scaled.

i have learned that when a newborn child squeezes for the first time with his tiny fist his father's finger, he has him trapped forever.

i have learned that a man has the right to look down on another only when he has to help the other get to his feet.

from you i have learned so many things, but in truth they won't be of much use, for when i keep them within this suitcase,

unhappily shall i be dying.

delightful!

i decided to treat myself last saturday. the treat? umm... er... shopping.Ü

here's what i bought:

a new polo - i do need one considering that i only have about ten polos.

magazines:
latest issue of fhm and games master - i've been religously collecting these magazines since first they came out. but i've missed two issues of each mag. (fhm issue number 2 & 3, gm issue 5(?) & 6(?))

audio cds:
exodus by utada hikaru - ALL of her songs in this album are in english. what's with the image change?

dear catastrophe waitress by belle & sebastian - indie geek pop at its finest!

thanks to the moons gravitational pull by sandwich - gosu! gewd! subarashi! ayus!

food:
prosperity meal from mcdo - if it weren't for the twister fries and the lucky chum (mankey: saru2-chan.^^) this meal would've sucked, big time.
