Art Tikol

Four consecutive days already that I was going home not later than 8pm. Malaking himala!

*bumukas ang langit at nagtugtugan ang mga anghel*

I dunno what's up with me lately that I was opting to go home early. Wala din naman kasing nag schedule ng basketball this week and our regular tambay nights in Greenbelt is on indefinite suspension. Tinatamad naman ako dumaan kela Tita 9, or tumambay kela Arvs sa Virramall, or sa Shak. Hindi pa natuloy yung golf session namin sa Chilli Peppers.

*golf* *golf* *golf* *buuuuurp!*

Kawawa naman si San Miguel at mga Pulang Kabayo niya. Namuti siguro mga mata nila kakahintay sa amin. We definitely should make it up with them sometimes. And speaking of making up, dahil apat na araw akong nagtimping hindi gumala, iL be on the road once again later tonight! Wooot!

Our team here in the office was able to secure advanced seats for "Transformers" in Greenbelt. Dinner might follow afterwards, kapag may oras pa. Ga-aga kasi ng nakuha naming slot... some time 6:30-ish in the evening. On regular Fridays, lumalabas pa lang ako ng office ng gentong oras. Punta pa ko sa Shak pag medyo maaga-aga pang natapos ang lahat ng kaguluhang ito.

So what have I done during those four days that I stuck my sorry ass early at home?

*kulitan with my sis's twins... goo-goo ga-ga
*assembled miniatures and prepared them for painting
*caught up with reading stuffs
*goofed around, the goofball I am
*hugged the guitar... and played too
*dreamed (sumagot din ang pager ni Iday sa wakas!)
*re-acquainted myself with my housemates (in case they forgot that I still live there)
*ate. lots. pfft.
*flexed some maskels with my dumbbells (a pitiful attempt on compensating with the previous entry)
*couch-potatoed

On another note, I'm currently writing an article about airsoft. This will be the first of three articles that iL be writing for our company's online intranet newsletter - Kalesa Blog. The Philippine general manager wanted to include a hobby and craft section and I outrightly have em choose among several of my hobbies when they picked me to write the article. I brought up two choices that I thought would appeal to our Australian and English counterparts: airsoft and miniature painting - two of my pastimes that are working on the extreme spectrums of hobbying... miniature painting for the geek-side and airsoft for the jock-side. Kitang kita ang schizophrenic tendencies. Hahaha.

They thought that airsoft would be an interesting pick. I thought... yes, at least it won't torment them to boredom as opposed to miniature painting. So ayun, airsoft it is! I'll be posting em here as soon as I'm done. The other two articles will be a song review and a movie review. I've already picked Christina Aguillera's "Candyman" for the song review since it's ranking good on the Australian and English music charts. For the movie, iL most likely do "Transformers" since most of the cool movies lately are all sequels and it's kinda uninteresting on the readers' part if they haven't watched the prequels yet.

Current reads:
God Emperor of Dune (Part 4 of the Dune saga by Frank Herbert)
- This book is one of six in a set that I bought on a garage sale in Milson's Point, New South Wales for cheaps AND take note, this are the original late 70's paperback release of the Dune books!! Okay, for the non-geeks... it simply means that the set I got is a premium, hard-to-find item. I read the first two books in Sydney while I finished the third one here. FYI, the Dune saga is often referred to as the "Lord of the Rings" of sci-fi books... a monicker that put it to greatness way beyond Starwars or Star Trek.

Art of War (Sun Tzu)
- I've alreay finished reading this book back when I was in highschool. It was my dad's copy actually. My kababata whom I lent it too lost it, though. I felt I need to read it again and digest the stuffs in it more intensively so I bought another copy for me-self. It's a pretty popular read these days but for those who are not familiar with it, Sun Tzu is a brilliant military strategist who lived during the dynastic era of China and this book was a transcribed version of his tactical collections and martial texts.

White Dwarf - Canada (April and June issues)
- The monthly magazine for Games Workshop's Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, and Lord of the Rings game system. GW is the official manufacturer of the miniature figures that we are painting and playing with. White Dwarf features upcoming miniature releases, gaming and painting articles, and purty scale models that are supposed to hypnotize us into buying more of their products. I have to thank Jeff for buying me these issues from all the way to Canada!

For Him Magazine (latest issue)
- Joyce Jimenez cover!!! Reprezent! My former ultimate kras is back with a vengeance. Ganda ng photo shoot niya peksman. Di nagbago si Joyce... lupit talaga ng face value. The latest issue has a snippet of their 100's Sexiest Women and Katrina Halili (my current ultimate kras!) is still the reigning number 1 for twice in a row! Reprezent! Wooot! If only I could get these pages signed by my dyosas. Sabay sunggaban ko sila agad... magpipiyansa na lang ako!!! Hahaha.
