Mi Dulce Angel

I'm missing somebody who used to call me Ube Sundae or Dorky. She still owes me a bigmac but uh well, I could just buy one anytime and just think of the times we talked before while I enjoy my burger.

"de nada mi necio chulo" =)

"ocupado. los mensajes solo de mi angel"

"yo anhelo usted"

"te quiero"

The Spanish lessons were cool but then...

..."wo xi huan". =) I guess the Mandarin ones were more worth longing for.

Astig when she laughed at my most dorkiest antics too. Haay, those were the days.

Anyway, as I remembered saying before : "Get well soon. We'll know each other more pa di ba."
Hasta luego!

Konstantayn

There had been some cool talks regarding "Constantine" on this forum I regularly visit. Makes me want to check out the movie a.s.a.p. but time was so so so evasive lately.

The Grand Tournament for Warhammer 40,000 will be held on mid-April and I need to rush painting my miniature army if I wanted to join the competition. Tapos, there's this plan to go to Ilocos by next week. Tapos, it will be my birthday right after this week's end. So, generally I can't appropriate a schedule to watch the movie anytime soon. Baka hindi ko na nga abutan na nasa movie houses pa yun e. Sayang. Baka sa VCD ko na lang mapanood yun ah. Hanap na lang ako ng mapipirata.

Kainis tuloy pag nasa jeep ka tas ang maririnig mo na kwentuhan ay spoilers about the movie. Kulang na lang e bayaran ko ng isangdaan yung nagkekwento at parang nanood na din ako sa sinehan. May matching gestures pa ng bakbakan scenes ni Keanu. Astig.

TL nga lang.

Talsik Laway.

Sa dami ng spoilers na napakinig ko, there was one thing that caught my attention and made me even more yearning to watch the film. I heard that the Spear of Destiny is in the movie. Konting factoid lang: the Spear of Destiny was also called the Spear of Longinus. Longinus was, of course, the infamous centurion that poked his spear to Jesus's flank to ensure that he's dead. The Spear of Destiny was believed to have been imbued with uncanny powers and was rumored that it was kept by Hitler during his rise to dominance during the Second World War.

Except for the Spear of Destiny or the Lost Ark, another great artifact to hit the movie scene soon, and sure rock the blockbusters, is the Square Pants. Ilang weeks na lang kasi Spongebob the Movie na. Eto ang bawal palampasin!
Whoooooooooo.... leaves in a pineapple under the sea? SPONGE-BOB SQUARE-PANTS!

Kiss Sabay Hug

Hindi ako nakapag-paint today. I woke up past 3:30pm already, only to read from a text message that my baby is sick.

May sakit siya ngayon tas bukas na ang shoot ng commercial nila. She has to do it sick or not, though. Poor baby. Get well soon!

Wag ka na ulit magpupuyat ha.

Love-nat lang yan.

Kiss-pirin? *wink*

Kolehiyalo

I went to DLSU yesterday for an exam and boy how I missed college life. Can't compare CEU with DLSU though. I'm part of both and I must say that both rocks by their own reasons. It's just a matter of how students appreciated those.

CEU ako by the fact na may tindang kwekwek at isaw sa gilid. DLSU by the fact na maraming resto sa gilid.

CEU ako dahil mas totoong tao mga makakasalamuha mo dun. DLSU ako dahil masarap makalimot sa katotohanan once in a while.

CEU ako kapag nanaisin kong ma-express ang sarili ko and know that no one will give a f$%& about it. DLSU ako kapag nanaisin kong ma-test ang capabilities ko as a social animal.

I could go on with this list and I really like to but time presses. It's just weird (opo, may mga bagay pa pala na na-weweirdohan ako) that yesterday I reveled on actually being inside a university again when just three years ago I loathed it so much I wished I had instead pursued with my original plan to go to the Military Academy.

Uh well, life's full of surprise and irony... naniniwala na ko.

We have this mini basketball league every Friday sponsored by our employer. Our team (HP-GRAD) has just had our first lost earlier this evening... by only three points. Sayang. Pero oks din lang kasi lamang naman kami sa pang-aasar. Sandamakmak na alaskador ba naman mga teammates ko. Sira ang araw ng mga kalaban e kahit panalo sila.

Team Hewlett-Packard GRAD

Four wins and one loss na ang standing namin. Still, contending for Championship pa din naman.

Tingin ko ang satisfaction talaga sa basketball, or any sports on that matter, can be attained by just "playing" it out. Enjoy the game. Don't let it abuse you. Don't let it consume you. I know a lot of conformists will contradict with "put your heart on the game", "play like it's your last", yadda yadda... but hey it is still JUST a game and undoubtedly invented to promote fun. Competitions were probably held just to take that "fun" on another level and provide entertainment.

Sa basketball team namin para lang kaming naglalaro ng Chinese garter or jolens sa kanto. We joke around and tease a lot kahit nasa hardcourt na, and that's one of the big factors that make us standout in the league. Nakangiti kaming naglalaro habang sila e hindi na mabilang ang bilbil sa noo sa sobrang seryoso. Siguro they just wanted the Championship that bad. Sa akin, the essence of success in sports is not by grabbing every single award on the game but on how you've actually enjoyed playing. We might lose the entire season, but we'L have shitloads of fun and crazy memories. They might snatch the Championship trophy, but they'L damn bleed for it. Ano gusto mo, enjoyment or pride?

Winning is just for the egotist.

On a second thought, kung basketball ang bumubuhay sa yo or sa family mo e pucha magseryoso ka nga, makipag-balyahan ka kada game. Maniko. Manuhod. Manuntok. Mang-headbutt. Mag-mura ng mag-mura kahit may nakatutok na nationwide-broadcast na camera sa yo. Tignan mo si Jawo. Yan ang spirit!

Astig maging iba.

Lifecycle of a Flip

This day has been very typical so far. Same o', same o' stuffs pa lang ang ginagawa ko pati yung mga turn of events ganun din. So what is a routine day for me? Here's a list of what a regular day looks like in my perspective.

1. I work on the nightshift, (9pm - 6am) pero hindi ako calldude ha...

calldude - a dude working for call centers; also see callbabe (Source: Diksyunaryo ni Lolo)

Given that, obviously and unusually I start my "day" in the afternoon around 2pm to 4pm. Kanina 3:21pm ako nagising kasi tagos balat na yung init ng araw sa bintana and hindi pwede ibaba yung ethnic na blinds kung hindi ka tatayo. Unfortunately, hindi na ko nakakabalik sa pagtulog pag tumayo ako. Mas lalo na pag yung tayo ko e may kasamang untog. Double-deck kasi ang higaan ko, ako natutulog sa baba and mababa yung second deck kaya normal lang na may kasunod na malutong na tunog ng bungo na humahampas sa bakal ang pag gising ko. Ewan ko ba. Solo naman ako sa kwarto pero ganun ang higaan ko.

2. iL go downstairs with my "hobby kit". *nagtatanggal ng muta on the way* Miniature painting ang hobby ko and I only find time to paint my figures right after waking up. Syempre dapat may kasabay na mainit-init na telenovela yun kaya pag upo ko sa trono, manonood agad ako ng Daisy Siyete (mag react kokotongan ko, walang kelaman ng programa ha). No choice eh. Kesa dun sa channel na panay pampalaki ng boobs ang pinapapalabas. Around 5:30pm, iL switch the channel to watch Spongebob. Peborit ko yun so that would be my last TV show before iL prep up for work.

One of my miniature painting master class

3. Eto na ang exciting na parte ng araw ko. Papunta sa sakayan ng jeep from our house, I need to hike for 10 minutes. Mga 100+ meter walk din yun. Then, the jeep will take me to the second phase of the trip - sa istasyon ng trike...

trike - pag-ayaw pahalata ng konyo na sumasakay sya ng tricycle, trike ang tawag nya dito (Source: Diksyunaryo ni Lolo)

Yung tricycle ang magbibitbit sa kin sa istasyon ng MRT. Eto na ang bakbakan! Kapag rush hour ang pila ng MRT e parang pila ng pelikula ni Piolo at Juday, sa baba pa lang ng hagdan may pila na. So, no choice. Kelangan sumunod sa agos ng mga tao paakyat. Dito ko natutunan na scientifically pag pinag sanib ang amoy ng equal volume ng Hugo Dark Blue at pawis ng taong di natutunan ang salitang "maligo" e makaka-buo pala ng isang chemical reaction kung saan ang makaka-langhap ng by-product e 99.87% na titiisin na lang mag bus kesa tumuloy mag MRT. Educational di ba? Sa bababaan mo na station meron ding aksyon kasi bago ka makababa susugurin ka na ng mga sumasakay na pasahero. Gunggong di ba? Hindi muna mag-pababa. Kaya kung magaling ka sa Aikido, patok ang talent mo sa mga gento.

Ang masayang mundo ng MRT Sardines

From Ayala Station, there will be another 10 - 15 minute hike to the office. 10 minutes kapag umuulan at nag mamadali lahat ng tao makauwi. 15 minutes kapag maraming couples na aaaaaambabagal maglakad sa walkway at balak pa ata mag sumpaan ng pag-ibig sa ilalim ng mga lamppost ng Ayala.

4. Then it's worktime. Blah... blah... blah... yadda... yadda... up until the next day na to. During wee times na inaantok na ko, nagsasagot ako ng mga infamous sarbeys ko sa Friendster. I was really surprised on how much of my friends enjoyed it. May mga "nag-aalay" pa ng survey kapag wala akong masagutan. Gawin ba kong clown??

5. Kapag pauwi, it's a different ritual. Pagdating ng house, parang lasing na ko sa sampung Wapak nun. Right after changing clothes, I have no other thoughts but to immediately drop down to sleep. Minsan nakanganga, minsan nakalaylay yung kamay sa sahig. I more prefer the latter. Pero mamaya pag-uwi testingin ko yung paa naman ang nakalaylay.

Gento ang view pag nakahiga ako sa kama

Unang Sahog ng Halo-Halo

First Entry Blabbers

Unang sahog ng halo-halo. Ilang oras makalipas ang Araw ng mga Puso. There's no better time to start a weblog than starting it almost coincident to a memorable date. I never had the chance to start earlier but I knew that eventually iL be acquiring one. Besides, I believe stuffs like these are good channels to broadcast our "individuality" - the rather hidden psychological dysfunction within ourselves.

Pyschological dysfunction - "weirdo" sa mga jologs. (Source: Disyunaryo ni Lolo)

Yes yes... don't retort with something like "change me, ibahin mo ko." Loko. Weirdo ka. Weirdo ako. In one way or another, weirdo lahat tayo. You're in here, reading my stuffs in the first place when nothing in it even spells caring with matters regarding you. Ang weird noh? "Truth hurts but it will set you free", sabi nga nung prof ko sa Political Science na kumakain ng chalk.

Anyway, thanks for the time wasted. Samahan nyo ko habang pinipilit ko i-ugnay ang halo-halo sa buhay ko. Sana nga may connect talaga yung dalawa para hindi halatang trip trip ko lang lahat ito.
Welcome to my life. =)

A date with the books. Ahaaay, how sweet! *insert sarcasm here*

Maligayang Puso sa Lahat!
It was already 10pm yesterday when I decided to pass by Powerbooks - Greenbelt. Nag-vacation leave ako ng Valentine's Day. Yep, nag leave ako para magbasa ng libro sa Powerbooks. Ang sweet no? Astig nung latest book ni Bob Ong - Alamat ng Gubat: Kwentong Pambata para sa Matatanda. I purchased one together with this Zafra book, Chicken Pox for the Soul. I went home at around 12mn... nung masyado nang malagkit yung tingin sa kin nung katabi ko. Bading ata ang pucha.

My Valentine Dates. Awww.

All in all, the day wasn't that bad as I've expected it to be. Syempre aside from the fact na naki-celebrate ng Valentine's yung mga terorista, who pseudo-painted the city red... with blood. Mang-bomba ba naman ng bus. I could have been near the bombsite. Dun ako nag hihintay ng bus pauwi e. Hindi ko pa siguro time. Nice.

Mi Dulce Angel

I'm missing somebody who used to call me Ube Sundae or Dorky. She still owes me a bigmac but uh well, I could just buy one anytime and just think of the times we talked before while I enjoy my burger.

"ocupado. los mensajes solo de mi angel"

"yo anhelo usted"

"te quiero"

The Spanish lessons were cool but then...

..."wo xi huan". =) I guess the Mandarin ones were more worth longing for.

Astig when she laughed at my most dorkiest antics too. Haay, those were the days.

Anyway, as I remembered saying before : "Get well soon. We'll know each other more pa di ba."
