    My New Year's Resolutions

    New Year's Resolutions are nothing but new headaches to be taken care of, in the year that unfolds. Here's a list of my New Year's Resolutions...and some of that Kha-yeh has proposed.

    1) I will quit flirting or even looking at other girls.
    2) I will be the complete opposite of me around girls.
    3) I will stop communicating with my ex's.
    4) I will always remember our monthsary/anniversary.
    5) I will organize my contacts, address book, important documents and my life.
    6) I will check all my accounts on all social networking sites and make sure that my "Status" on all accounts are set to "In A Relationship".
    7) I'm going to stop being so nice this year... I think I overdid it in 2007.
    8) I will stop considering other people's feelings when they so obviously don't consider mine.
    9) I will try to figure out why I "really" need 5 e-mail addresses.
    10) I will take neither myself nor any of the above seriously. LOL

    I am expected to adhere to seven of the given ten. Resolutions number 1, 2 & 3 are mandatory..... Kha-yeh said! Or else I might not be alive to create my New Year's Resolutions for 2009.

    A Letter From My Girlfriend

    A PANACEA FOR A TROUBLED HEART:
     
    As I ponder in the lit room with an ashtray, a cup of coffee and a cigarette beside me, lots of things are jumbled in my mind. My writing will tell you, I am confused and troubled. I am not confused about my feelings and plans toward this man but I am confused whether he loves me as much as I love him. Because of that I feel troubled. I feel troubled because that confusion is consuming me in the way that my heart tells me that he loves me but my mind is playing its game on me. It accommodates speculations, theories of what-love-should-be, doubts, fear, judgments and what-ifs. I want somebody to tell me that I am paranoid. Oh, I want him to tell me over and over again that I don't need to worry because he is mine.

    Arggghhhh.... I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to think anymore. I just hope that things will get better. I hope that GOD will make me stronger and will bring back the old confident me. I wish that GOD still listen to my prayers and make Damen and me stronger. I pray that Damen stretches his patience for me, for I am one difficult person at times. I want to be Mrs. Maria Chaterine A. Aniciete someday. I want us to be happy. I want my insecurities to go away so I could let his jokes pass without being too sensitive.

    So many things have been mentioned here, in short, what do I really want? I want him and be happy with him. He said he loves me too. So what is the problem? Nothing. So what is my panacea for my troubled heart? Lambing... hugs and kisses. Attention, words and deeds of his assuring love for me.

    When You Are Inlove With Yourself

    Yesterday before my gf left, she said "I love you so much.” I replied..... “Yeah, I also love myself so much.”

    She called me an egotist and refused to stop when I tried to stop her from walking away. Either she was upset or she's going to be late for work.

    Good, my gf has finally realized the truth. I wonder why it took her so long to understand that I love myself. Chances are, she did not notice all those love bites on my mirror image.

    I don’t want to be bragging here, but I think if only I were a little more modest… I would be the perfect human being that ever walked this Earth. I just need to be a little more modest… that is all.

    I found out that I was perfect the day I played Tony "The Engineer" in a school play...uhm "New Yorker In Tondo"...that's the play. After I got off the stage, the audience went loud, crazy and unruly. I had to get back on the stage and request them to be calm. At this juncture, one of my classmates walked up to me and said: “You were amazing. I don’t have words to describe you.”

    I said: “Try harder.”

    He didn’t yield to my prompt and we spent the next ten minutes discussing the last few days of my schooling and what my future plans were. When I got bored I told him: “Enough of me….let us now talk about you.”

    I could see he was happy. “What do YOU think of me?” I asked him…but he stared right through me and went on his way. If you don’t love yourself… I pity you. I wonder if you will ever be able to love anybody from the bottom of your heart.

    A friend of mine has fallen in love with himself and is looking forward to a life-long romance. As if that was not enough, another friend wants to die in his own arms.

    Now, what do you call that?

    Happy Birthday... No Such Thing.

    I miss those times that I'm really excited for my birthday to come. Back in the days, in the province, it means that I'll be bringing pansit and puto in school (elementary) I studied in a public elementary school btw. And when in highschool, I remember, I was the first one who intruduce Cali (the non-alcholic drink by San Miguel) in our class. Then after college, to my parents its a chance of meeting a new girlfriend of their beloved, only single son lols. Several years had passed, it became more and more less exciting, well atleast for me. I think I'm just afraid of getting old.
     
    "Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's not to be; that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably... irrevocably.... happy birthday? ..... No such thing."

    My Preferences In Life

    I was just wondering what my preferences in life were. Do I have any opinions? Do I have any tastes? Do I have stands? Surprisingly, I have none.

    This rules me out of the race for "D' Man of the Year". Pacquiao wins, hands down. How could somebody with no tastes, opinions and stands in life ever become popular?

    I have no favorite food…though when I was a kid I used to like dunking my hot pandesal on a hot Carabao's milk. I have no favorite cars, and that’s why I have never bought one till now. I have no favorite foreign country and that is why I never been out of the Philippines. I don’t have a favorite place to stop and smoke, thus end up smoking at all places.

    As for opinions, I don’t care who rules the world. I think it is Dick Cheney now. Or is he dead?!

    When Bush and Kerry were running from pillar to post trying to seduce people, I never got seduced. I stood still…for I did not care who the President of US was.

    Everybody has an opinion on everybody…but somehow I don’t. Perhaps, that is why I don’t like you.

    And as for my stands…I have none. Even removed the one on my mountain bike back in highschool, and have to lean it against a wall or a tree.

    “Would you want to come for a drink tonight...?” A normal man’s response would be ...where, when, how... but for me it is a simple: “Yeah sure.”

    When Super EX-GF asks me to empty the dustbin, I have no stand... I just go and empty it.

    But the thing is I am happy. Except for the fact that I need some money, and need a vacation, need some friends, need some good colleagues and need some good food. Otherwise, I am happy.

    Does the fact that, I have no tastes, opinions or stands make me a robot? I guess, I should not be writing all this here ...coz if people from Microsoft, Redmond notice this, they might buy me off from SYKES for research on Artificial Intelligence. Pity, they would be disappointed at not finding intelligence.

    But after reading this far…do you think Microsoft officials would be disappointed at not finding intelligence? I don’t think so.

    7 Things U Don't Know About Me

    My life has been full of quirks, idiosyncrasies, whims, eccentricity and oddity (It helps to know the usages of Thesaurus.. huh?). Here are 7 things about me that U don't know:
     
    I have a very Biblical name:
    I dunno why, I do not belong to a very religious family but how the hell my name...all of 'em seem to came from the Bible?! LOLZ is not that its not good tho... Abraham (from Prophet Abraham) Bautista (From John the Baptist) Aniciete (7 Years... from the Pharaoh's dream of 7 good years and 7 years of famine)... and Damen (from DAMENYO hehehehe).
     
    Mini Stop is just a stop:
    People go to ministop to buy stuffs, foods, papers, to get autoload. Me... well I just go there para magyosi sa harap. There's a 7/11 and 2 Mini Stop in Valero Drive pro mas gusto ko pa rin sa Mini Stop OSMA magyosi...hehehe, dun natupad mga pangarap ko :)
     
    I eat anything edible:
    When I was in highschool, I've attended a survival training that was held on a swamp in Pampanga. We stayed there for 3 days without food, water and light. There, I learned how to catch and was forced to eat frogs, snails, dagang bukid, balang, bayawak, sawa and diff kinds of leaves, including mango leaves.
     
    I thought I was a scientist:
    My love for science made me think I was destined to be a scientist. I know it is hard to believe but once I had my own laboratory. It had different kinds rock, plastics, glass pieces, leaves and what not. I would even embark on one of those walks of self-discovery because I was told that’s what scientists did. Stay aloof.
     
    I have always taken risks:
    When I was 15, I remember taking two aluminum wires and inserting one end of both in the two holes of a electrical socket and immersing the other two ends in a steel jar filled with water. The idea was to heat the water. The experiment ended with a blast when the main fuse of my grandparents' house went off for a couple of minutes.
     
    I F*@^! up:
    When in High School I was blinded by love. Ending up not taking the UPCAT because all I wanted is to enter UST where my gf will be studying. I didn't got the chance to take the entrace for UST bcoz of some f*@^ up reason so I end up taking the scholarship offered by Asia Pacific.
     
    I am a renowned cheater:
    I was introduced to the concept of cheating at a very young age. I think I was only 14 years old, when I found out that both my girlfriends were cheating on me. This left me scarred for life but I didn’t resort to cheating.
    26 January

    Getting Old

    If you don’t know this, you are probably young. But the secret of staying young is to lie about your age. For example, 44 days from now, I'll be 23.... promise :)

    The good thing about aging is that you don’t have to do anything. Just keep advising and people will notice that you have grown old. By the way, I have no advices for anybody.

    Does one become intelligent with age? I am not too sure. I guess, the young fools grow up to become old fools. All that talk of experience (that comes with age) making one sober is bullshit. OK fine... old bullshit.

    As I said earlier, with age... advice starts flowing. Guess, when they become too old to set a bad example, they start giving good advice.

    Talking of advice, I would say the best way to follow an advice is... do exactly the opposite of what is being said to you. Or better still... if you consider the advice very good, type it in a notepad, take a print out, frame it and hang it on your bathroom wall - one that gets the maximum water splash from the shower.

    If you ask me what a good advice would be... I would say... find out what the other person wants to hear and then give him just that. At least, he wont put it up on his bathroom wall.

    And why am I advising you? Don’t ask me... I am just worried about the younger generation. On second thoughts... I guess they would also grow up and start worrying about the younger generation.

    So what are we trying to say here? Nothing... guess I am really just getting old.

    Sykes Xmas Party: Ano Ang Iyong Fantasia?

     Last Saturday at the Forum (1, 2 and 3) Sykes held its 2005 Xmas Party and damn wasn't it the Biggest Party I've attended in my life. 7,000 Sykers... a couple of hundreds short to Rio De Janeiro beach party LOLz. I still remember my 1st Xmas Party here in Sykes...was held in T.G.I.F....Yes in Fridays and that time, there's plenty of room for more.

    A lot of Sykers have lived their fantasies for a couple of hours that night. A Sun God, a diwata ng batis, a Greek average joe. I came in on a sleek white polo, Levis Bootleg jeans, an oversize retro sunglasses (I dunno what they call it) and Black shoes and some peeps asked me what's with the outfit?! I told 'em...it's my Fantasy...I'm a GIGOLO that night hahahaha. 7K Sykers, 1 Honda Jazz, Rivermaya, a Beer on your stab...a lot of things can happen.

    • It sucks that I didn't get the Honda Jazz, or the Hong Kong or Boracay trip. The brighter side is, thousands of peeps didn't get 'em either.
    • I was able to watched Rinoa, dancing on the big screen with Roby beside me...naks. Memories.
    • My best bud Barley's there, Bro Joe, Don Dictado, Eug, Kim and Monman. Just a couple peeps short to complete the MSN Joker's. I wonder where Pat is that nyt, isa kaba sa mga dwendeng gagala-gala? Hahaha joke lang pre. I missed tanDAD!
    • My kalbo profile Pic and my whole name was flashed on the big screen for bout 5 seconds....and that's the best Sykes have, to pay my 5 years service hehehehe. SuCkS!
    • I was able to stand in the stage with my People.Net teammates for a couple of minutes. Feeling pogi syempre....with the trophies on their hands and a beer on mine.
    • I didn't hook-up with any girls...yeah I know, very unusual. I guess I'm over that hahaha.
    • And funny thing, there's this BIG gay guy on a dress that I dunno what approached me and said "Hey I'm Blah blah and I work on blah blah agency in Makati and we're doin some blah blah projects right now, uhm if u're interested to do some VTR achoochoo blah blah blah juz let me know...can I have your number btw?! And me being a gentleman...err being dumb gave my number. The next day, I received a text message, something like "I juz came from NY. I'll be here till Jan doing some shoots for FHM and shopping. See u soon!" - ERRRRRR this is lame dude.
    • I had bout 5-6 cans of San Mig light that nyt, enuff to give me a good nyt and a good sleep.

    I dunno if the party's great or it suck. The last month and a half I was living a fantasy, a dream. For some, it was a night of fantasy. For me, it was the night that woke me up back to reality.... ERRRR I know you have no idea what I'm talkin bout here... doesn't matter anyways.

    10 Things I Want To Do…

    This is a borrowed idea. A colleague and a friend mentioned that I should write about the 10 things I want to do before I breathe my last. And here we go -
     
    1) I want to skydive with my dream girl, and when there are a few kilometers to go, I want to close my eyes and kiss her. A free-wheelie. I know she's reading this right now.
     
    2) I want to walk into a Bahay Ampunan, sort out the saddest kid and fulfill one of his/her wishes. Parang pang Miss Philippines hehehe.
     
    3) I want to walk into a jewel-shop with my mom and dad beside me, and buy them the most expensive necklace and bracelet available. Nay..Tay, wag nyong isasangla hah!?
     
    4) I want to have my own Billboard sa EDSA, endorsing a good brand or product. Wag lang gamot sa hadhad, alimpunga or buni.
     
    5) I want to drive from Claveria to Zamboanga on my muscle car. Sana mabili ko ang Chevelle Malibu ng kapitbahay ko.
     
    6) I want to meet the first love of my life (if I can call her that) and see how many kids she is a mother of and how fat she is LOLz. Would be a funny sight.
     
    7) I want to meet Mr. Walter Navarro. My English Professor, my Mentor, a Friend. He is Jack Dumas...the original RAINMAN.
     
    8) I want to spend a weekend with the other members of the Southern Boys and do all the wacky things we did back in college. Mark, Jon, Mon, Jimmy at Don-don miss ko na kayo mga pre.
     
    9) I want to be the one to accompany my son/daughter on his/her first day in school. Sana sa Xavier or ICA hehehe.
     
    10) I want to take my future wife's parents on a Las Haciendas De Aniciete tour and prove that their daughter landed a good catch. I hope they're your parents hahahaha.

    Played Like A CHAMP

    "Everyday is a new beginning, with lessons and memories from the past..."


    Last Sunday, MCI RS won the 3rd and Final Game of the SYKES Basketball Tournament Championship... thus  making us "The PEOPLE.NET" the 1st Runner-up. It was a hard fought game from beginning to the end. Sweat and blood has poured... technical fouls were called. Shots made, some blocked, 3 points colourful as a rainbow on the back.


    After the game everyone goes home, except that one team carries away the trophy. The joy and gets to stand on the stage on Sykes Xmas Party. We on the other hand gets to wake up every day until the beginning of next season, looking at the mirror and wonder:


    What if?


    What if we had done that differently? What if we had done this differently? What if we had made all our free throws? What if we had made that shot? What if that rebound hadn't slipped out of our hands?


    We'll go over every play in crystal clear HD in our head. We'll need to chew on this for a while, and it will be tough to swallow because we knew that we were close enough to taste a back-2-back title. We knew that we were close to grasping greatness. People told us that we played well, gave a valiant effort and have nothing to be ashamed of....- a consolation.


    YES, we played like a CHAMP, we just lack the hardware to prove it. Errr...what the heck, there'll always be a next year ;)

    Billboard Sa EDSA At Ang Natupad Na Pangarap Ni Ramon

     
    PAALALA: Ang kwentong ito ay kathang isip lamang, ang anumang pagkakahawig ng mga pangalan ng tao, lugar at pangyayari sa tunay na buhay ay sadyang pagkakataon lamang.
     
    Isang araw, (sa di kalayuang hinaharap) habang binabagtas ni Ramon ang kahabaan ng EDSA sakay ang kanyang Cadillac Escalade, isang ke laking billboard ang ang pumukaw sa kanyang paningin. Ito ay isang billboard na nag eendorso na isang sikat na sikat at ubod ng class na brand ng damit...B.U.M. Equipment. Hindi ang damit...hindi ang mapang-akit na pose ng modelong babae ang tumawag pansin kay Ramon kundi ang ganda ng mukha ng modelo partikular na ang kanyang bibig. Tandang tanda nya ang mukhang iyon at ang bibig na tila mo'y pinag mumulan ng kakaibang ingay.
     
    Bumalik sa kanyang alaala ang lumapas na panahon..panahon nung uso pa ang mga call center. Si Panyang....ang pinakamagandang callgirl ng kanyang panahon at sa balat ng callcenter industry. (*O sya, hindi na pinakamaganda, rereklamo pa eh.) Tandang tanda ni Ramon ang mga panahon yaon at kanya itong muling binalikan...
     
    Toonuununnoonnn...tooonuunoonuunnn.
     
    "Alas dos na...tahimik. Wala pa ba sila?! Huling yosi break ko na toh dito...kakainis, ba't kasi kailangan pang lumipat ng RS!?" Pamaya maya'y narinig na nila ang kakaibang ingay na nagmumula sa bukana ng kanilang building na naghuhudyat at para bagang nagsasabing "A few times I've been around that track, So it's not just goin' to happen like that, 'Cause I ain't no holla back girl..I ain't no holla back girl." este...nagsasabing parating na sila... si AM, M1, M2, L2, L3 at si LM. Ang barkadahang kilala sa taguring "MEAN Gurlz". Hayy sa wakas... kala ko di makukumpleto araw ko hehehehe. "Hoy Ramon tapos na break! Isagad mo na tingin mo dahil huling tingin mo na yan hahaha!" ang sabi ng isang kaibigan ni Ramon.
     
    Ang akala nga ni Ramon ay un na ang huling makakasabay nyang magyosi si Panyang aka LM. Hindi nya akalaing isang umaga ang isang imbitasyon mula sa Yeheyy 180 ang bubulaga sa kanya at magpapabago ng kanyang buhay. Ang simula ng isang magandang samahan at pagkakaibigan.
     
    WHOOOHOOO!!! YES!....YES!!!...YES!!!!! Ito ang mga huling katagang nagwakas sa kanyang pagbabaliktanaw.
     
    Matapos nyang ipark ang kanyang Cadillac Escalade, sa likuran ng isang building sa Makati kung saan sya kasalukuyang nagtratrabaho bilang isang Manager, dali dali nyang hinanap ang kanyang organizer. Sabay hanap sa pangalang "Panyang". Ngiti ang bumalot sa kanyang mukha ng nakita nya ang numero ng cellfone nito. Wala syang inaksayang oras at itoy kanyang itinext...
     
    "Hey! I saw ur billboard sa EDSA...naks! Na2pad mo n rin pla pangarap mo :) - Ramon".
     
    Ilang sandali pa'y nagtextback si Panyang...
     
    "Hey Ramon! Yeap! I just signed an xclusve contrct wid B.U.M. as their signature model :) musta na u? I've heard nka Escalade k n raw, natupad mo na rin pangarap mo?!".
     
    Nagtextback ulit si Ramon...
     
    "Matagal ko na po natupad pangarap ko.."
     
    Nagtextback ulit si Panyang...
     
    "Huh?! ano un? kelan? pa nu?"
     
    Sa pagtextback ni Ramon, kanyang iniforward ang isang text message na matagal nang inuumag na sa kanyang inbox......

    Few Quick Brain Burps

    Been busy the past week and no time to post in here. So I'll just sum on this post ang mga pangyayari sa buhay ng tinaguring, "Ang Damen".

     

  • I've (atlast) visited my parents in the province last week. Tho it cost me a month salary para sa inuman lang..its worth it. Kaysa naman always receiving a text message from my father saying "Hoy bisaya ( no offense sa mga bisaya ) ...malayo ba Leyte?!" Bytheweiz, our province is just an hour an a half drive from Manila...Ahihihihi.

     

  • Last week, I've organized my Yahoo 360 and MSN Spaces Blog and linked it in my website www.damen.24ex.com.

     

  • I think this is also the first All Souls/Saints Day that I've never got a chance to see any of my high school friends in our town's cemetery. Usually this place serves as our yearly get together hangout. Siguro di lang ako naggala masyado since I'm with Ochie, the first time sumama sya sakin. When me and my friends were a lil bit younger LOLz, this time also serves us to meet new chikas eka nga hehehe. Hayy those were the days.

     

  • Errr last Saturday, SG&A (and the Referees) LOLz won by 2 points in a hard fought OT game against my team People.Net.

     

  • Saturday night... me and Ochie celebrated our 19th Monthsary at Discovery Suites, Ortigas ( courtesy of MSN Search, MSN Entertainment and MSN.Com Team ). It was great ( of course it's free ), we spent the whole night there and a free breakfast. More kwento's and pictures to come.

     

  • Nga pala, for 4 weeks anak ako ng DIYOS hehehe. First time ko yata nakakuha ng Saturday-Sunday na RD :) tho 2 weeks lang toh the next 2 weeks naman Friday-Saturday RD ko.

     

  • My friend Monman aka Godfather... sya si "BOY BITIN" hahahaha.

     

    Yan na poh... you've read whats been going on with my life, tho di kasing exciting ng Pinoy Big Brother at walang eviction na nangyayari, ok pa rin, yan ang buhay ko eh :) Bytheweiz, Hurricane Katrina, Rita, etc... wala pa rin kayong sinabi kay Hurricane Panyang...lakas pa rin ng dating!

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN : Ghost Girl

     
    HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!!
     
    THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY SPACE!
     
    GHOST GIRL?

    This video is rather freaky. I'm not sure if it's real or not, but they claim it is. All I know is when my friend emailed this to me...well, I wasn't able to sleep very well for a couple of nights. Try to watch the VIDEO by clicking "GHOST GIRL" and see it yourself.

    END GAME: The Fall Of Machismo

    I have a feeling that very soon it wouldn't be cool to have a male child.

    I don’t know if you'll agree with me, but it is a fact that today 50% of the households start expecting a boy child as soon as somebody in the family gets pregnant. The rest are OK, if the child is born healthy.

    Now, I have a feeling…the men are losing out in the battle of sexes. Times have changed. Women have started doing everything that was once considered man’s domain. They wear maong pants, they earn money, they are in the army, they decide…everything that WAS a man’s birthright …is today a woman’s job.

    Not just in the outside world…even at home…she watches TV, reads the sports pages, warms the sofa and orders Pizza. The only thing that was a man’s responsibility (and his right) and is yet to be taken over by women is the ‘act of initiating sex’. But then, the success rate has been declining alarmingly.

    Looks like very soon the women won’t need us. Even today, the only thing we men are being used for is to provide a fatherly figure for their sons and daughters.

    They have hit back at us…and we are going to disintegrate. Soon, I think there would be male infanticide. With so few men to choose from and so many women dominating the scene…male prostitution will begin. Men will dress up in sexy dresses and 'll hit Malate... Quezon Ave... Cubao…women will come in cars to pick up the man of their choice.

    The next day these tired men will be dropped near bus-stops in the same cars.

    Women will learn to spot the male-prostitute. There would be red-light areas where men would hang around …and talk dirty to attract the women. Women would letch at the men, thus lowering their self-esteem even further. One good thing of all this turn out would be…there would be no kids in red-light areas... because the men won’t be diagnosed with pregnancies.

    With all the employment opportunities taken, men will rush towards the vacuum created by women... servants, baby-sitters, alalay, B-O-Y who would have joined the mainstream. They will do the house-keeping while single-women went about their work. They will ran erands...THEY WILL CLEAN THE TOILET.

    Tnx to Ochie...The good thing is I am already trained for such a scenario ;)

    I AM A RAIN MAN

    I am not a superman, but a RAIN MAN. In short, I just confessed that I love the rainy days. Don’t know if it has to do with Robin Padilla and Regine Velasquez, who formed a marked impression on me when they walked under the rain to the tune of "Tuwing Umuulan..at Kapiling Ka".

    I love it when it rain...the cold wind....I know what the evil mind of yours is thinking. But to cut the long story short…I love rain. You are probably saying, finally there is something that this psycho loves beside himself.

    My love for rain has nothing to do with all that cafe mocha that is created on a Batasan road after the rain. OK…if you are not as imaginative…you probably never realized it. Next time you see all that brown muddy water on the road…imagine it to be cafe mocha. After a car or a van passes by, for sometime the muddy water will resemble a chocolate milk-shake.

    Over the years, my affinity towards rain has been motivated - for different reasons. When I was in 3rd Grade in SABBES…the school would submerge (not fully but at least a foot deep) after an hour rain. This meant no class for two days….now don’t blame me for loving rain.

    As I grew my reasons changed. When I'm in Hi-School, I loved going to school on rainy days….because half the class wouldn’t have turned up and the teachers dare not teach. Some of the teachers would be absent. I still remember a sleeping teacher sitting in front even as we spent the 45 minute periods talking our way to glory.

    When in college, it provided us with an excellent excuse to come late or bunk classes. In Espana, traffic depends on seasons. There are two seasons - the seasons to DRIVE (Summer) and the season to DIVE (Rainy). 

    When it rained we would all go to the nearby waiting shed and stand gaping at the girls from the nearby FEU, CEU and Baste.

    Girls, trying to avoid the muddy and greasy waters on the road are a pretty site. They are poetry. Reams and reams can be written on the expression one can see on their faces. Next time it rains, go to a muddy, water-logged road. Look out for a 16-22 year old girl walk through/around the water (remember, age is important here. )…you will know what I mean.

    NOW...I juz love rain for the fringe benefits. It's nice to stay at home, watch TV at MAGYOSI...tnx to the RAIN.

    What's Your Dream Girl?

     
    Mine would go something like this: Super sweet, with a big heart, very gentle and loving, laughs at all of my dumb jokes, definitely a girl who likes to cuddle, a girl who is committed, romantic, sensitive, and passionate. Someone who can say a million words to you without opening their mouth, not being afraid to get physical, confident, maybe even a lil' shy, a bit of a partier, a risk-taker, someone who will still flirt with me even after we've been together forever, smart, intellectual, loves to have fun and just be silly, and of course somone who loves me back!
     
     
    Looks wise, I melt over a 5' 8" asian, with perfect vital stats 34-24-34, long black hair with dark brown eyes... it's just pure perfection for me... that's definitely My Dream Girl!

    Sorry...No Short Keys in Real Life.

    Everyday...I'm answering e-mail, making reports etc etc...and I realized how shortkeys really helped me on doin all these tasks. Naisip ko...if only we could use shortkeys in real life...it'll be a lot of fun davahhh :)

    For example, kearlier before going to work, I couldn't find my ID. If our lives were only influenced by shortkeys…I should be capable of pressing Control+F and find my ID!

    Umpteen times we would do or say something to our supervisors or manager and immediately realize that in life there is no going back. That is to say, there is no Control+Z.

    How much I wish there were a Control+Z  in real life. Wala sana tayong mga memos....Hindi sana ako madalas inaaway ng girlfriend ko hehehehehe.

    Imagine you're all alone smoking in the smoking area with one of the MEAN GURLZ, you can just do a Control+C and then a Control+V  to all your pick-up lines and see if this pretty girl falls for the lines that your girlfriend fell for. It would save you from using the same lines again and again…especially since you would have been using it since your late teens. A little like your teachers in highschool using the same old notebook to teach since 1967.

    If only our real lives were really influenced by shortkeys, we could just pressed F5 and refreshed ourselves in the evenings and rushed to parties. And when it was time for office, leave the club….press F5, refresh yourself and be in office.

    But alas, that is not to be. And we are forced to make choices. Club? Or Office? If only a Control+A worked here! BTW, Control+A selects all.

    You are probably wondering why you're reading this crappy Blog. Kung nagsisisi kana....easy…just press Alt+F4.

    Quick Brain Burps

    It’s been quiet around here, despite an intention to make a more regular presence. Oh well—I blame it on a few things which have added up to a mostly busy week or so. Hell, it's my OFF yesterday and I have no internet connection on my new apartment.

    Let’s see, how about a few quick brain burps?

    • Yesterday, I called and talked with the present chapter Emperor (President) of my beloved fraternity, "SIGMA PHI" in WESLEYAN U. (Delta of PI Chapter). I feel sorry that I was not able to attend our anniversary celebration...tho I feel good bout some promising news that he relayed to me. SIGMAPHIAN ROX!
    •  Lately, I've been thoroughly enjoying this Pinoy Big Brother thingy on TV. Alongside all the old shows and series that they've re-run.....I'm a Seinfeld GEEK.
    •  Last Tuesday morning before I went home, I dropped by OSMA to pick up some things I left on my locker. Then nagyosi with some peeps from People.Net. They asked me..."Damen, pano mo nakilala mga Mean Gurlz?!" I told then that..."I saw them on the beach...dancing...tapos naghulog ako ng Ginebra San Miguel...ung Bilog!"

    Anyway… that’s the end of my sandwich, and so I’ll wrap this short post up. Hopefully I’ll be back soon.
