random blabbery

last Wednesday i woke up at about 2am. and i believe i didn't find it in my system to fall back asleep again. so in the morning i went on-line until 2pm. that was when i posted the previous posts. i got exhausted on-line, i went outside and saw MRT. i was thinking, where can this MRT take me?" Alas! Ortigas! Ortigas i went. i realized while on MRT, my stomach was hurting so bad. i was hungry. so Ortigas i stopped, and went straight to megamall, i entered Powerbooks and VOILA! found a a SALE!!! hardbound books for 99! how cool is that?! so i purchased 3. i haven't read any. i plan to, once i get the time. my schedule is FULL. maybe i'd be able to read it next month. or next month after next month. whenever! i'm excited to read it though. my mother called me this morning by the way, she's coming here. good luck to my budget. Chanel also is coming next week... i miss that girl. when she got her number, my INBOX would go FULL in 1 hour. god! that girl is a text-addict! she sends lotsa qoutes! which are actually educational if you think about it. like... when you open up a young coconut fruit, it's equivalent to a plasma... i told Irene that at lunch. she said Really? i said No. haha! and here i am, chatting with JK about artisticity and meeting the client's want. he said a painter and a fashion designer are different. painters paint and client buy them, fashion designers do designs FOR the clients. because i told him about what happened to Project Runway when taht gurl in Red Mohawk hair got eliminated because she compromised too much of her artisticity. she did all the customer wanted, she forgot that she's an artist. although she has to please the customer, she also has to be herself in some kind of way. so she was ELIMINATED. poor thing. and guess what, today i got a 95 in QA today!!! and i thought i was going to fail. so here is my HAPPY face. hahahahhaha!
and oh i have to get my laundry. so i better go. and get some sleep as well.

exhausted yet?

i've been busy busy the past 2 wks. have had bad QA scores. Bryan had been literally SCREAMING on my face because i had a 75% after barely getting 90% for 2 consecutive months"...April came my first QA score was 75% over a very simple call, so the pressure was almost killing me but somehow fuelled me to do my best. to not be lax. AT ALL. after that i've had 1 90% QA and 3 100's... how cool is that. MTD:91.23% sheesh. at last i can breathe now. although i can't relax just yet. lotsa people watching this MAY... example: DTV client. Wooottt???!!! hehehe.. and we are posted right in front of the QA room. gosh.

so much bout work. lemme' talk about something else.

uhm, check this out, ely's CURSOR.

it's uhm.. reminiscent of uh.. ely buendia of the 'heads?? hahaha! i think i know enough of ely to know what he's blabbing about on this article. i think i've studied his song-writing techniques well enough to know what he is. as well as other stuff i've read on the mags during those 'heads days. i thought when he came up with PUPIL he gave up this side of him. but no, he's still the same ely buendia. the person i've looked up to as a kid, a teen, and a grown up. (= gee, i love the guy. ELY MARRY MEEEEE!!! hahahahah

speaking of MARRY ME's... jk and me's uhm.. sort of Hopeless. slowly dying. almost forgetting each other. i would almost not care. because i'm tired. of caring. of thinking. of waiting for him to care back. at least.


anyhow, enough of the sad stories.


time to uh... SLEEP? more pix in the future.

i'm-not-really-picture-crazy

Radiobox



i like this photo because i like way it was shot. and i like this radiobox although it's useless most of the time 'cos it can't get NU107 which is the only important radio station to me. and it's like those crappy fm radio you see in Divisoria sold for 40 pesos, only this has a nice facade. very cute, very useless. hahaha.


Leaving Lian



well, this was shot when we were "leaving lian" hahahah. it's a little town in Nasugbu, Batangas where i was born. My family from the father side hail from there. i went to the Fiesta which is really a big thing with the people in the barrio. my cousin said i should take a photo of the scenery even though the car was moving, heheheh... because it was really a nice place. i and my cousin, we LOVE nature. so there, i was at the backseat of the car windows all closed, so don't ask why the sky is "violet" hehehehe... i did't tweak that at all. photos posted here today are raw.

no title



i can't think of any title for this one. in fact i DONT KNOW what to say. she's very FUGLY. oh my god. a shame to humanity. this needs some good tweaking.

hahahhaha!

Today is the Greatest (smashing pumpkins)

'was checking on my msgs and yahoogroup msgs... nothing interesting. oh well, only for one thing. a certain someone reminded me of his number. not the mobile number but the phone number! sheesh. now allow me to sing a song... god, i don't even have a song in my head. this is unREAL. hahaha. and because i've got nothing else to listen to on-line. the headset has been dangling on my neck since the minute i logged on, i signed in to yahoo music on my YM. Station: FILM SCORES. how i miss the films. those days of staying up late to watch vcd's due the next day. until our dvd came and my head was filled of war and guns and gore and psychos and childish stuff...i couldn't count the number of times i watched those silly cartoon Animation PIXAR flicks. i think half a million times. haha. when i got here i seldom got to watch a film. even on the cinemas. i don't like my cousin's flick taste. i also don't want to watch alone. JK said there was even a new film from Quentin Tarantino which title i don't recall. i wasn't aware of that at all. so i felt like an OUT OF THIS WORLD then. Quentin is my favorite director, y'know.

i got to buy me a player. soon. very very very soon.

anyway. i have to pick-up my laundry. imu' have to go.

the Groupie parade

boring day. got into a heated fights over major record label bands on mIRC chatroom. hahahahahah. those indie freaks are such a pussy. they're so defensive about their musical stands. what's the fuss? huh? pseudo-geniuses. music CONYO! is the right TERM! there. u can't say they're rock snobs since that creepy guy only knows steve vai.. sheeshh.. and oh he like the 80's bands... he thinks 80's are indie. i listen to 80's bands as well. am i indie? i mostly listen to PUPIL these days. they're mainstream. sheesh. he thinks he's so great and very knowing looking down on me like i'm a bottom-feeder. well, i don't claim to be a know-it-all rock genius because i'm obviously NOT. but i don't classify those who listens to MAINSTREAM as those CRAPPY PEOPLE. i have my reasons for being a big fan of PUPIL and <5>. I listened to Eraserheads eversince i was 11, they opened my eyes to the world of rock n' roll. and the experience from then forward i believe molded my personality. although i don't play the git-git-guitarr... rock n' roll has been the oxygen that keeps my blood pumping. (= groupies rock! \m/ (hehe)

god, SM is closed today. my plan was to go to the Grocery. plan B was go on-line. i did. plan B over now. time to go to home. work later.

oh, i almost forgot. jk broke up with me again yesterday. isn't he sweet? well i try to keep my head off it. i'm too numb for hurt. let him do what he wants. I DON'T CARE!

the fruit of spending 6 hours on-line

"eraserheads forever" a link in philmusic. hehe. just thought of typing it down, since i really got nothing much to say. i'm listening to "with a smile" by the 'heads. and JK ( my dear one) is accusing me of chatting with 12 incher nigga's online. holy christ. i tell you, listening to eraserheads is far more better hobby than that... now i'm listening to "maling akala" damn the ghost of thee.

monday blue

it's monday. last day of work week for our team. but not for me i guess. i have to do overtime on tuesday and wednesday. i can't be idle. yesterday was our Company's Summer Getaway. The boys were drunk, i gulped in only 2 shots of MT. boy it tasted real bad but it felt real good in the stomach because i was chilling. It was fun, we also sunk in at the pool and played some stupid pool games. hehe. thank god for SUNBLOCK. (=

anyway, i've been shopping for mobile phones. uhm, been asking for opinions. and i got a lot of opinions. a whole lot. but i have to stick to what i need not what i want. whew, it's hard.

and as usual, i'm still addicted to PUPIL. the best. i ordered a PUPIL shirt. which i can get on May 18. That's 1 mo and 8 days from now. i can't wait. Uhhh.

it's monday. i'm blue. don't know why. is it my parting with my mp3player for a week and some days? is it the outcast thingy? or is it jk? nevermind. life goes on anyway.

Something political

I got this frm the UrbanDub YahooGroup. Copy + Paste. This is touching and makes a really good point. (= enjoy.


Dear Tita Cory, Senators, Congressmen, Businessmen, Media
People, Leftists, and all Bleeding Hearts Out There:

I am angry. And I know that there are many out there who are angrier
than I am for the same reason. And that reason is simple. I am sick
and tired of all you guys claiming to speak for me and many Filipinos. I feel
like screaming every time you mouth words about fighting for my freedom
and my rights, when you obviously are just thinking about yours. You
tell me that the essence of democracy is providing every citizen the right
to speak his or her mind and make his or her own informed judgments, but you
yourselves do not respect my silence and the choices I and many
others have made.

In other words, your concept of democracy is limited to having your
rights and your freedoms respected, at the expense of ours.

I am utterly flabbergasted that you still do not get it: we already
responded to your calls, and our response has been very clear - we
chose not to heed your calls to go to EDSA or to Fort Bonifacio not
because we do not love our country or our freedoms or our rights, but precisely
because we love our country even more. Because quite frankly, we are prepared to
lose our freedoms and our rights just to move this country forward.
You may counter with your ideological propaganda and give me all the dire
warnings about the evils of Martial Law, authoritarian rule,
suppression of freedom, etc., but quite frankly all we see is your pathetic efforts
to defend your right to continue fulminating, filibustering, and sabotaging this
country until you wrestle power for yourselves.

You tell me that you are simply protecting my freedoms and my rights,
but who told you to do that? I assure you that when I feel that my
rights and my freedoms are at a peril, I will stand up and fight for them
myself.


I have done that in the past, and I will do it again when I SEE THE
NEED FOR IT, not when you tell me to do it.

You tell us that GMA is not the right person to lead this country
because she has done immoral acts. As someone who sees immorality
being committed wantonly in many ways every day and by everyone (yes,
including the ones you do), I may have become jaded. I may have lowered my standards
about what a leader should be. Guess what, Tita Cory, you lowered it yourself.
When I accepted your incompetence and fought for you during the many
attempts against your government, I already lowered the standards to
ridiculous levels. Guess what, Senators and Congressmen, you lowered it
yourselves when you ran for office and won and now make fools of yourselves in
the august halls of congress.

But the simple truth that you try to obfuscate is this: you have not
been able to offer me any viable alternative! On the other hand, GMA
has bent over backwards many times to accommodate you while continuing to work
hard despite all the obstacles and the brickbats you have thrown her
way.


From where I sit, she is the one who has been working really hard to
move this country forward while all of you have been so busy with one and
only one thing: to make sure she does not succeed. So forgive me if I do not
want to join you in your moral pissing contest. Forgive me if I have
chosen to see things from another perspective. You say she is the problem. I
say, we are - all of us is the problem; more to the point, I think you are a
bigger problem than she is. Taking her out may solve part of the problem,
but that leaves us with a bigger problem: you. That is right, YOU!

While I felt outraged that she called a Comelec official during the
elections and that she may have rigged the elections, I have since
then taken the higher moral ground and forgiven her. Yes my dear bishops,
I have done what you have told me to do since I was a child, which you
say is the Christian and moral thing to do: forgive. Especially since she
has asked for forgiveness and has tried to make amends for it. Erap certainly
has not apologized and continues to be defiant, continuing to insult us
everyday with his protestations - and he is part of your cause now! Cory has
not apologized for her incompetence but we have forgiven her just the
same because like GMA, she has worked hard after all.

I know you do not think that GMA's apology was not enough, or that
she was insincere, or that that apology should not be the end of it, but
please spare me the hypocrisy of telling me that you do so for the sake of
protecting the moral fibre of society. The real reason is because you
smell blood and wants to go for the kill.

Well, I have news for you. I do not like her too. I did not even vote
for her. I voted for Raul Roco. But as much as I do not like her, I
do not like you even more. I may not trust her, but you know what, I do not
trust you even more.

You know why I do not trust you? Because all you do is whine and
sabotage this country. You belittle every little progress we make,
conveniently forgetting that it is not just GMA who has been working so hard to
achieve them. Every single day, we keep the faith burning in our
hearts that this country will finally pull itself out of the mess and we work so
hard to do that. Every little progress is the result of our collective
effort, we who toil hard everyday in our jobs.

Yet, you persist in one and only thing: making GMA look bad in the
eyes of the world and making sure that this country continues to suffer to prove your
sorry point. In the process, you continue to destroy what we painstakinly try to build. So please
do not be surprised that I do not share your cause. Do not be surprised
that we have become contemptuous of your antics. You have moved heaven and
earth to destroy her credibility, you have convened all kinds of fora and
hearings and all you have done is test our patience to the core. For
all your efforts, you have only succeeded in dragging us further down. I say
enough.

Don't get me wrong. I am not asking that we take immorality lying
down, or that we let the President get away with anything illegal. But you
have tried to prove your accusations all these time and you have not
succeeded, so it is time to let things be. Besides, you are doing something
immoral as well if not utterly unforgivable. The Magdalo soldiers are
consorting with the communists - the same people who have been trying to kill
democracy for years. Cory has been consorting with Erap and the Marcoses.

So please wake up and take a reality check. In the absence of true
and genuine moral leadership, many of us have decided to cast our lot
with the President, even if we do not like her. A flawed leader is better
than scheming power hungry fools who can not even stand up for their
convictions in the face of an impending arrest.

Your coup attempts and the denials that you have consequently made
only underscore what we think is true: you are spineless and unreliable
people who only want power but not the consequences and the
sacrifices that go with the quest. Your one and only defense is to cry suppression when
your ruse does not work. You are nothing but BULLIES who taunt and
provoke, but cry oppression when taken to task for your cruelty. You call for the
rule of law and respect for authority, but so brazenly display your defiance
and disrespect for the same things you claim to be fighting for.

I would have respected you if you took the consequences of your
actions like real heroes: calmly and responsibly instead of kicking and
screaming and making all kinds of lame excuses. You say you are willing to die for
us, that you do all these things for the country and the Filipino, but
you are not even willing to go to jail for us.

Come on, you really think we believe that you did not want to bring
down the government when THAT IS THE ONE AND ONLY ONE THING THAT YOU HAVE
BEEN DESPERATELY TRYING TO DO in the last many months?

We love this country and we want peace and progress. Many among us do
not give a f*&k who sits at Malacanang because we will work hard and
do our share to make things work. We the people will and can make it work,
if only you get out of the way and let us do it. If you only do your
jobs, the ones you are supposed to be doing, things would be a lot simpler and
easier for all of us.

The events during the weekend only proved one thing. You are more
dangerous and a serious threat to this country than GMA is. We have
seen what you are capable of doing - you are ready to burn this country and reduce
everything to ashes just to prove your point. If there is something
that we need protection from, IT IS PROTECTION FROM YOU.

im with you.

fairly none

what have i done today?

well, been scaring people off on-line by showing 'em my face on the webcam. hahahhaha. talk about philippine webcam horror stories.

anyway, i'm sleepy. not tired. just sleepy.

the time i woke up at 9am there was no electricity, no water... good thing my radiobox feeds only on triple-A batteries. hehe. had a full breakfast. a couple of sweet hams, 2 cups of left-over rice frm last night, sliced tomato and chili soy sauce. i was full after 5 minutes. it was hot, darn hot. i smelt bad and the least i could do was wash my face with purified drinking water. tap water unavailable still. fuck. electricity and water came back on simultaneously at about 11 i think. washed the dishes, ate cereal, oatmeal, milk, and apple. so in other words, breakfast was my lunch, and lunch was my breakfast. hehe. anyway, moving on... i watched MTV, was waiting for SANDWICH to come on because apparently they were the LOKAL ARTIST Of the Month of APRIL. no SANDWICH was in sight. bummer. i saw THe BEASTIE BOY's videography though, which i think i have seen for the nth time already. gosh. way back in 2004 probably. anyhow, i knew JK would be on-line bacause he's at work so i washed up, packed my laundry and went off to MAKATI. to drop my laundry at StreetWash and go on-line. (= i was gonna read some music reviews. i did read one. Badly DRawn Boy. Because i want something that is so familiar to me. (= and i think nothing could be more familiar than Gough. He's a sweetheart but the reviews were just discouraging for him. Well... music reviewers has got to learn to be partial. and I might learn it as well.

Had a chat with Apol, Divine, and Pinky. I miss them friends. (=

And i belive i promised to go on overtime tonight. Hrmm. I need to go.
