summer concert 2005

i'd like to excuse myself from blogging for a while, but since i'm posting anyway, i might as well put in some stuff worth blogging about.

last night, i went to the company summer concert. i went there with ria, jay-anne, bogs, and ian. we're all from the same project. i got to know ria because she was one of the organizers of the AWSO. jay-anne is ria's ka-startgroup. i first met bogs when he tagged along with jun last company christmas party. ian is jay-anne's boyfriend.

the concert started lame. sugar-free could have had a better crowd. kitchie got a little more. rivermaya's crowd was the wildest. it must've been the beer. lol

that's it. au revoir!

catcher in the rye

"We studied the Egyptians from November 4th to December 2nd," he said. "You chose to write about them for the optional essay question. Would you care to hear what you had to say?"

"No, sir, not very much," I said.

He read it anyway, though. You can't stop a teacher when they want to do something. They just do it.

The Egyptians were an ancient race of Caucasians residing in one of the northern sections of Africa. The latter as we all know is the largest continent in the Eastern Hemisphere.

I had to sit there and listen to that crap. It certainly was a dirty trick.

The Egyptians are extremely interesting to us today for various reasons. Modern sciences would still like to know what the secret ingredients were that the Egyptians used when they wrapped up dead people so that their faces would not rot for innumerable centuries. This interesting riddle is still quite a challenge to modern science in the twentieth century.

He stopped reading and put my paper down. I was beginning to sort of hate him. "Your essay, shall we say, ends there," he said in this very sarcastic voice. You wouldn't think such an old guy would be so sarcastic and all. "However, you dropped me a little note, at the bottom of the page," he said.

"I know I did," I said. I said it very fast because I wanted to stop him before he started reading that out loud. But you couldn't stop him. He was hot as a firecracker.

DEAR MR. SPENCER [he read out loud]. That is all I know about the Egyptians. I can't seem to get very interested in them although your lectures are very interesting. It is alright with me if you flunk me though as I'm flunking everything else except English anyway. Respectfully yours, HOLDEN CAULFIELD.

He put me goddam paper down then and looked at me like he'd just beaten hell out of me in ping-pong or something.

my drug of choice

i'm drinking coffee again. i had to. i was so sleepy and i have to finish these deliverables by EOD. i need to have a clean slate before Sarah gets back from Boracay. butipasha... lol!

on a different note...
summer is here! i'm so totally psyched up for swimming. i wonder what adventures await me in Pagudpud. i can't wait til i get my feet on wet sand.

my Tungsten T3

haven't been blogging this past few days 'cause i've been busy with my new toy.

i love my new PDA. i just can't put it down. it's so great! i've been playing with it since i bought it last march 18 and i still can't get enough of it. the games, the applications, and recently, the themes! san ka pa?! lol!

and it pours

reasons to be happy this weekend.

1. went to a self defense class. wanna try my jujitsu? hiya!
2. i got a Palm Tungsten T3. i never thought i would be able to own one. such an overwhelming feat. lol
3. F and i are okay now. We're going to Tagaytay tomorrow! yihee!
4. i got invited to a group blog. neat! -> http://riapatmaan.blogspot.com
5. WHATDAF*CK! i will be having ASP training on monday! woohoo!
6. i'm going swimming this sunday. actually, it's an occular visit to splash mountain. mixing business with pleasure. nice!

it pours...

heart problems

when it rains, it pours.

haven't been blogging for days.
lot's of things had happened.
mostly good (including my birthday).
but they don't matter anymore,
'cause right now,
my life's raining cats and dogs.

1. my dad was rushed to the hospital last sunday. he had chest pains and difficulty breathing. we found out that he had a mild heart attack and that he needed to be confined in the hospital for observation. the first 48 hours are critical for someone who suffered a heart attack. his blood pressure was so high that he needed to be sent to the ICU. he stayed there for three days. he's now confined in a private room and is expected to go home on saturday.

2. i got an invitation to an Oracle training session for a month. Of course i accepted. i was happy for a while, only to find out that i can't attend. i can complain but there's no use. there is nothing i can do to get any training for myself.

3. F started going out with other guys last week. she did it twice. she said it didn't mean anything so i just shrugged both off. what really broke my heart is the exchange of messages she had with one of her crushes in school. it went something like this:
s: have you eaten already?
f: why do you always ask me that? secret.
s: no particular reason. so have you eaten, i mean lunch?
f: yes.
s: i'm guessing this is your lunch. (holds a pack of crackers)
f: yes, actually. but i had a can of fruits. i had a case of diarrhea earlier.
s: you should eat more!
f: i guess you're right. tell me something good to eat and i will eat it.
s: me.
!!!!!!!!!!
there is another one but you get the idea. i am open to the fact that i may be over-reacting. how am i suppose to know? this is the first time that something like this has happened to me. so many things are going on in my mind. it hurts, literally. this is no longer simulated sadness. this is the real thing.

problems like these don't come very often. i'm grateful. after this storm has passed, i hope my memory fails me. ignorance is bliss.

that which does not kill you, makes you stronger.
if this doesn't make me stronger, i'm dead.

sassy

awww... this movie made me smile. i would have enjoyed it even more if i had watched it with F, my sassy girl. =)


panalo! lol

up next: windstruck (yuck! i'm getting so mushy!)
