leah just called to say she's picking up our group's tickets tonight for saturday evening's showing! i'm very excited. if things go according to plan, that should be the second time i'll be seeing the half-blood prince on screen. can't wait. i'll definitely be writing a review for this movie.

wheeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

weird start...

2009-05-26T18:02:00.003+08:00

just weird...

i got up... left my room... heard a familiar sound... moved towards the staircase and down...

then i saw my dad playing super mario brothers... he knew exactly where to go and what to do... where the shortcuts are... which exits to take...

crazy... we have not played those games at home since we were kids... those games still exist???

my dad even showed me the other games available on the disk...

my dad let me use the station while i was waiting for my lunch... i tried my hands on galaga, twin bee and 1942...

weird and fun...

If you think you misjudged Susan Boyles...

GOODNESS!!! If you want to be catatonically entertained (trust me, that is possible) or just be in a state of shock for more than 10 seconds and find yourself having a good laugh for a list of reasons, some of them unknown, then WATCH THIS VIDEO.

You owe it to yourself to see Gregg Pritchard's GBT audition at least once in your life.

governor sarah palin

2008-10-08T22:08:00.007+08:00

the world has been following her every step for many weeks since her candidacy was announced...

ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS
transcript

leah and i are watching youtube.com videos as i type and we are laughing hard at sarah palin's interviews... such as the one posted above.

all i can say is "thank you, sen. mccain, for choosing gov. palin. you've really given sen. obama a chance in this election."

---------------------
leah just sent me this transcript...

Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?

Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.

Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.

Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

WAY BACK INTO LOVE
by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett

I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past I just can’t seem to move on

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but i just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere

I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
Oh oh oh

There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

Oh oh oh

takaw evening

2008-09-18T20:44:00.007+08:00

It is never a good idea to hang out with me and Armi if you are on a diet. I repeat. It is never a good idea to hang out with me and Armi if you are on a diet.

Yesterday was one of those days when Armi and I found ourselves eating to our hearts' content and more. Taco Bell, Yellow Cab and Dairy Queen (Trinoma) were the honorary victims of our takaw moments. We were supposed to have coffee at Starbucks, Blue Wave before heading home but in the absence of available chairs at 10:30 pm, we decided to go to Tapa King instead.

Everything she had, I had as well. Hay... BURP!

Did I mention that was all in one evening?

this sunday

2008-09-15T19:44:00.002+08:00

only one topic will matter from now 'til sunday...

will it be ateneo or la salle?

2-day leave

2008-09-08T15:30:00.010+08:00

back from a two-day leave and i still want more. can't wait for my long vacation.

anyway, saturday was a fun day...

-late lunch at yellowcab

-videoke session with leah going all senti for reasons i know nothing of... hahaha... my hands are clean!
-dinner at super bowl of china
-an evening at sm marikina -- this one was unplanned as leah and i meant to go back to the booth but impulse made us decide to check the newly opened mall... will (or might) blog about this soon...
-late night sms

-intertwined ****

sunday was a lazy day in front of the tube and over the latest T3 magazine (we just wanted to make ourselves envious and malcontented... that would be armi and myself... hahaha... LOLZ!)

-T3
-banig and a lot of throw pillows, inner LR (this is the right way to be lazy on a sunday afternoon)
-cravings
-sm marikina and robinson's metroeast... a point by point comparison (w/ armi)
-cable tv
-eleven minutes by paulo coelho
-food!

armi and i are ice cream fanatics; and, as lovers of the said dessert, we started talking about arce, selecta (new flavors) and haagen-dazs which caused us to drool in an instant... unfortunately, neither of us wanted to get dressed and go to the grocery so we decided to just settle for cups of sundaes... 8mcdo. no answer. 8mcdo. still no answer. 911-11-11. pizza hut deliveries. one supreme pizza please.

our ice cream party ended up as a pizza session. darn, hahaha! ^_^

weekend: baguio and frank

2008-06-23T21:21:00.009+08:00

blah blah blah...
not quite in the mood to blog...
busy eating stuff i've bought...
just posting down the event to mark the weekend...

anyway...

back from baguio after a weekend of ikot-bili-kain-tulog...

we were not even aware of the storm in manila until late sunday morning as the weather there was friendly enough for tourists like us...

the group was not spared from FRANK though...

shortly after our lunch at John Hay, the weather changed from sunny to cloudy and that was when we knew we had to get back to manila SOON...

and we did...

yup... we met the raging storm in la union...
and a whole lot of rain on the way home...

a decent documentary of our trip shall be posted in my other blog soon...

how do you appease anger like this?

2008-06-20T16:55:00.002+08:00

seems to be no healing in sight...

calm water disturbed by a stone that was hurled...
a ripple in the water...
a gamut of reactions...
and monsters unveiled...

lesson: thou shall not disturb calmness...

something to do after baguio...

2008-06-19T21:49:00.002+08:00

i've already figured out where and how to start...

saturday

2008-06-17T14:47:00.000+08:00

i waited...

it's turning out to be an interesting evening

2008-06-12T01:14:00.001+08:00

out with an old friend...
old stories...
and new ones...
uncovering secrets and lies...
over coffee, pizza, pasta and pillows...

finding out we have a lot of things in common
is too scary a coincidence...

yup...
this is going to be a long night...

good luck with the eyebags...
:P

tired

2008-06-08T23:17:00.001+08:00

i'll dream of baguio when i sleep...

Coca-Cola Commercials

I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing

This is the revived version of a much older Coca-cola commercial.

Tomorrow's People

I wish I could find the local version of this one. I like the one where Lilet sings the opening line "I am the future of the world, I am the hope of my nation..."

2008-05-25T19:37:00.006+08:00

it's my baby cuzin's 18th birthday in a few days...

i cant believe she is a grown up now... every time i look at her, my mind tries to do the math... she was the flower girl when i turned 18... dolled up in her cute gown handing those flowers to the 18 male friends and relatives who danced with me... and now it's her turn to turn legal...

i hope she finds happiness in the days ahead...

Happy Birthday, Baby Cuzin! I love you!

lost

2008-05-25T18:55:00.007+08:00

shit! i never thought i'd be this pathetic!

although i'm the emotional type and i find everything moving worth spilling tears over (heck, i even cry over cartoons and greeting cards), i'm usually swayed by my own logic to do the right thing. i've always been the rationale type... the decisive type... things used to be written in stone... and everything is either black or white, do or don't...

lately, something inside me is tugging my senses elsewhere. my moral compass has lost it's ability to find north... or it probably just refuses to find it... either way it's making me depressed... it's driving me crazy... and the hurt does not seem to go away... i've never felt more sorry for myself...

when i look at the mirror... i don't recognize myself anymore...

the sad thing is no one understands...

2008-05-24T19:16:00.005+08:00

2008-05-16T18:07:00.020+08:00

just making my own prediction... hahaha...

but honestly... im not too sure... :P

this guy is so cool! vocally, he may be a little less talented than archuleta... but he knows how to rock the crowd... and of course, he sizzles on stage...

***

then again... i also like david archuleta... the kid IS adorable and very very talented!!! oh well...

should DA win idol, i'd credit it to the fact that he is consistently strong in his performances...

and let's not forget... all the teen age girls in america will be voting for him... :p

can't wait for the finals...

Would you rather know or not know?

Some say that what you don't know won't hurt you.

Wont that hurt too?

crazy way to picnic

2008-03-07T17:38:00.002+08:00

Everyone is getting ready for summer. Just a week from when I came last, I'm quite surprised even my favorite spot has turned itself into an instant tourist hub by putting up numerous bamboo cottages for people who will be looking for a cool and instant picnic location. I could just imagine being in one of those cottages at the foot of the dam. That, to me, still seems both a crazy and cool idea all at once.

waters of march

2008-01-26T21:41:00.000+08:00

my head has been humming this song the entire day...

it's one of those days, i guess, when i just want to listen to good old bossa nova...

love love love this song and and its many versions.

Waters of March

A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone

It's a sliver of glass,
It is life, it's the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It's a trap, it's a gun

The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush

The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all

It's the wind blowing free,
It's the end of the slope,
It's a beam, it's a void,
It's a hunch, it's a hope

And the river bank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of the strain,
The joy in your heart

The foot, the ground,
The flesh and the bone,
The beat of the road,
A slingshot's stone

A fish, a flash,
A silvery glow,
A fight, a bet,
The range of a bow

The bed of the well,
The end of the line,
The dismay in the face,
It's a loss, it's a find

A spear, a spike,
A point, a nail,
A drip, a drop,
The end of the tale

A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light,
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night

A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It's a girl, it's a rhyme,
It's a cold, it's the mumps

The plan of the house,
The body in bed,
And the car that got stuck,
It's the mud, it's the mud

Afloat, adrift,
A flight, a wing,
A hawk, a quail,
The promise of spring

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart

A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone

A snake, a stick,
It is John, it is Joe,
It's a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe

A point, a grain,
A bee, a bite,
A blink, a buzzard,
A sudden stroke of night

A pin, a needle,
A sting, a pain,
A snail, a riddle,
A wasp, a stain

A pass in the mountains,
A horse and a mule,
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart

A stick, a stone,
The end of the road,
The rest of a stump,
A lonesome road

A sliver of glass,
A life, the sun,
A knife, a death,
The end of the run

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of all strain,
It's the joy in your heart.

Cannonball

2007-12-28T20:26:00.000+08:00

Cannonball
by Damien Rice

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't SAY what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

A Lesson Learned

It's hard to swallow a whole loaf of homemade tuna sandwich in one afternoon. Good thing dogs are always present to share the burden of eating.

Never again.

a sunflower day...

2007-11-03T14:44:00.000+08:00

friday was a sunflower day. the trip was a mini adventure of sort with my friend, mark, as we went to the town of montalban to check the mountains of bernardo carpio and the famous pamitinan cave. it would seem an ordinary day in a seemingly ordinary place but for the pleasure it brought sitting there and taking part in nature, history, lore and good company.

pictures grabbed from the net.
