a weird christmas
Merry Christmas! aaah, it's the season of giving and... GAMING! after i hear mass, i went straight home and turned on my yahoo messenger to greet my out of country friends. i checked out gunbound and i saw lots of my buddies playing. i was like, do they even know it's christmas? this christmas is way so different for me. it's my first time to spend it alone and yeah, it's weird but the void was patched up by my friends. chucky, kew, and oca went to my place just to see how i was doing. thanks guys! :)
mau called on my cellphone and i was on top of the world at that time. she spends her christmas in bohol where their family's roots are. her call took me away and made me forget that i was alone.
my music is way up on its volume bar when i was eating but i can't hear a single thing. eating without my family is one thing i really miss. my family is always funny. we always laugh at the dining table when we are all together. while i was eating, tere was watching me thru webcam. felt like i have someone with me at the table, thanks. :)
jerik was playing gunbound beside me, we were like talking and i fell asleep just like that. i saw daot and doti's kids too. they sure are soooooo damn cute. DJ is so healthy he was playing his basketball at 1 am in the morning. Benedict is such an angel, a baby with a hair of a korean. i played with DJ when i first met him, he was kinda shy and was holding his father's hand as if it was his only hope.
christmas is going away fast. next stop is the jamestown christmas party.
now this scares me.

hi, i'm a gamer.
some think that playing gunbound is getting way too serious. people that actually play it seriously does not have a life and should get one.
that's what they say.
anyways, i just want to clear things out here. we are all gamers. in gaming, there are lots of genres. if music has rock, hiphop, ballad, electronica, indie, etc. in gaming, there is online, console, cards, boards, and a lot more. now, it doesn't mean that getting serious and stuff with what you are tripping is a bad thing. let me give you guys an example. my very good friend oca is the pioneer online gamer in Jamestown. he was bitten by the Ragnarok Online bug and played like a mad man. in the gaming world, he achieved something, became the GM of the famous Saints Guild which is known as the pride of cebu in Ragnarok. his character went to the highest level and that is pure manual. oca only had 3-4 hours of sleep since then and doesn't even complain about the yawns he's having in school.
non-gamers would say, "it's stupidity! it's just a game!" yes, it is just a game. but gamers play it with passion. they just don't play the game, they get into the game.
"get a life!" that's what they say. well, don't they know that Jonathan Davis of the band Korn is addicted to Warcraft: Burning Crusades? the guy has more money than Guatemala and he's got more life than your plant collection in your backyard. another example is my best buddy, vior. you can't tell him to get a life cuz the guy is a professor in a small college here and at the same time, a businessman. let him play Gunbound and you will be licking his butt clean. my good friend mai plays gunbound too, she's got a job and is also taking up masters degree in a certain college in manila. as for me, well, i am still a student. i still can't have a life i guess but that's okay, i don't care. i love what i do and i love what i play.
in music, i mainly choose punk rock and i go for a lil bit of indie and emo too. i get dissed about me being a "punkista" but i just laugh at these people. at least i know what kind of music i am listening and no one dictates me what to listen. not even the mainstream.
in gaming, i choose online. i choose gunbound.
anyhow, so much for that. i would like to announce that i have a header! yehey! you can see the pictures of the people that completes me. i love each one of them, this is a tribute. i will tell you what the header means next time.

vior's birthday
yesterday was vior's birthday. another year older for our beloved friend and he is as happy as a clown. i was the first one to arrive and directly started drinking at 6pm with koko. bawing didn't get to drink because he was under medication. we grilled some pork for dinner while the girls... well, i don't know what they had inside. anyways, the boys arrive at around 7pm and we were already having our 7th bottle. we were having a good time when suddenly, rapi arrive to the scene. whoa! thought he was already on his ship getting ready for his duty and all that nautical stuff. bob came too with a jar full of roasted peanuts.
vior's guests was there too. straight from Gunbound server 6 channel 3, fuvi and gladys came down the house and was ready for some party. hazel too was there, haven't seen her for a while. so everybody had a blast and we all have our pictures taken by the birthday boy. i still have to ask him to send it to me so i can post it somewhere here. at around 10pm, gladys and fuvi had to go. so we accompanied them to tabunok and bought more cases of beer. when we got back at vior's place, i went to the sofa and passed out. i can still hear dandel and the gang's laughter and all that shit. anyways, so i passed out at the sofa and woke up at around 12am already. when i woke up, oca was already yelling and shouting and everyone was trying to get a hold of him. i don't know what his problem was but it has something to do with someone. it was raining and chucky, manyak, and rapi was trying to talk oca out from his anger. he was wild you bet. they went outside to talk and for trying to help oca calm down they all get soaked from the rain.
after that short drama, everyone was drunk and i went back drinking. it was only me, rapi, manyak, and a sleeping chucky. vior fell asleep at the sofa, hazel went up to hug the pillows and everyone was so fucked up with the cases of beer. rapi, manyak and i were just talking, laughing and trying to wake up chucky while slowly downing the bottles. at around 4:15am, jenny was already ready for Simbang Gabi. we just laughed and continued drinking. we left 7 bottles in the cooler.
vior might think we are abusing the fountain of drunkness.
i am still kinda dizzy when i woke up this morning. my freakin' head is so wasted and i lack sleep again. oh well, i still have to nurse this hangover.
tell me how.

let's talk about plans
maimai has been telling me to post. i wanted to start a new blog. something that won't require me posting how my day went and everything that is happening to me. anywho, i got a text message from Kim telling me that her mom got to read my blog too! hahaha! wow! hi kim's mom! : )
i was planning to put a header for this blog but i got really busy with gunbound. hahahaha! well, i've been busy with school too but nothing beats gunbound in eating my schedule. i know i need time management.
my one and only marauly will be coming home next week for her christmas vacation. i miss her so much already, it's about time. she will be having her thesis and i am helping her pray for her graduation. i thought she will go through college with flying colors but no, UP Diliman is just as tough as Lennox Lewis. she is on her last year right now and probably will graduate on october. as for me, i will be officially too cool for school too on october. oh God! i can't wait. everybody has been asking what my plans are after i take my short walk on the stage and grab my diploma. plans, plans, plans. let's talk about my plans.
my plan is to borrow money from my dad and start a business. a Cellular Shop is occupying my mind right now and vior said he will support me in the business. sounds good huh. now, why a cellular shop? cellular shops are like gasoline stations. almost all filipinos have cellphones and when they ran out of loads, they will go to the nearest cellshop. repairing is another thing. the good part of the repairing is that, you don't need to shell out some money to repair it. it's just simple labor and i tell you, repairing is the meat of any cellular shop.
my other plan is not to get married right away. i want to get rich during my single days. another plan is the trip to hongkong with my best bud, vior. yeap, our target date is on June 2006. now, if you have time, why won't you go with us my dear reader?
i think that's about it. i will be having new posts next week to update my buddies down in abu dhabi about the activities in Jamestown. now, the Jamestown Christmas Party will be a blast this year. you know why? because the mangyan marines will be presenting another lewd, horny, sexy, stupid dance number.
can't wait!

a weird morning
Good morning!
so i was having coffee with myself listening to dad's radio. when a radio commentator made a report about penis. the new research says that if a guy have lots of brain cells, the guy have a short penis. i almost choked on my coffee. Leo Lastimosa even coughed up a laugh about his report. what i thought about is the barkada's most sought after bachelor, Patrick Polloso. he passed all his exams since elementary days, passed the don bosco entrance test, studied well, graduated college on his right age, passed the board exams on his first take. no doubt he's got millions of brain cells. now does that mean he's got a small penis? i don't think so man. looking at patrick, his machete-like structure is like a greek god. but i can't picture him having a short dong. that's patrick, my idol, he can't have a small dong, never.
now my good buddy John Milton Castañares. he is happily married with another good friend, Dorothy Grace Castañares (felt weird when writing doti's name without the Bolaron. hehehe) daot is a happy engineer, a proud father of two little angels and a loving husband. he is a bright boy and im sure his brain cells are kicking just like his hormones. does he have a short staff?
leave 'em alone.
i don't know who delivered that report to Leo Lastimosa's desk this morning. we can't judge a penis just by looking at the person or checking up his report card. does it really make sense?
i don't want to talk about penis anymore. it's just not right. ugh! i need a ciggy.

king of swords
i had lunch with cleh yesterday at Joven's Grill. my plan was to have lunch at some restaurant down in ayala but i decided to take her to the eat-all-you-can place. if i took her to some fancy restaurant, our conversation might not be that comfortable whereas in joven's, the both of us feel relax and at ease.
i already knew what cleh's weakness is. sense of humor. so i gave her blows on that part and i was successful in making her laugh like no one's around. so we were talking about where we will go next. i suggested to take her to jamestown since fuvi and kim (cleh's classmates) always hang out in jamestown. she said yeah and i was like, "ok! pack up! pack up!".
she had plans to create a friendster account and take pics and all that shit. she wanted to watch dvd but she didn't get the chance to see a single movie. what we did when we arrived at my place?
went straight in my room
...to call fuvi that is. ; )
after that, she went home. ahihihihi. end of story, ok?
anyways, here's some filler for daot and dhoti. last night, after i sent cleh home, i went straight at vior's place and there was him, lying around his big house, texting hazel. he told me that hazel and honey was spending the day at SM. after a while, vior asked hazel if she wants to go to sideline and asked her to bring honey along.
bob came by too. we were fooling hazel and honey about me and bob having gay relationships. the girls bought it cuz as what honey said, "kataw-anan pero dili imposible! di ba taba?"
for me, i think it's impossible. i will never submit myself to a homosexual. i don't know about bobby. when we were still kids, we play swords and rapi and i always get defeated by him.
bantog ra maayo sa pinsing ang boing.

Garden Fresh
it's a rainy saturday here in cebu. makes me wanna stay in bed and curl with my blanket. i wanted to do that but i have to get up or maybe i might do something in my room which is actually a good thing but the timing is bad. you see, i will have to meet cleh. cleh is a first year nursing student in USJ-R. yes, you can say she is garden fresh. she's been pretty aggressive with me i guess. i just knew her a couple of weeks ago and she wants me to call her at the dorm for night talks, she's been talking about relationships lately. even vior couldn't believe her text messages.
cleh is a great gal. she is a classmate of Kim Cabiso, daot's cousin. kim has been telling me how cleh talks about me and all that crazy shit.
i ain't gonna be in a relationship with her though. not this time. hahaha! you see, marauly will be coming home this month and we are back at it. i just don't want cleh appearing at my place while mau is with me. that is such a bad scene to imagine. reminds me of a friend...
come again vior? friends with benefits?
now you're talking.

fat balloons
the plans on putting up a new lantay is getting dimmer each day. me dad won't agree on the plan, he does not want another lantay installed in front of our place. we need a place to hang out this coming christmas vacation. if only that incident didn't happen, if only troy and his cohorts cleaned their mess up, our lantay will still be here with us. i will still try to convince my dad about it.
blackmail will be the last resort. (if only i have aces from him. shit!)
anyways, i need to go on diet. after my hospitalization, i ballooned into something i don't know. i am becoming a monster, a couch potato who plays gunbound all day, a sleeping edible oil who doesn't care if the whole world pass him by. i need to go on diet before mau sees me! she can't see me like this! well, she knows i'm fat but not this fat! waaaaah! she is so gonna kill me and i will be so dead.
i'm planning to go into atkins again. it's because of its fast results. will i achieve it in less than a month? no i don't think so, but at least my tummy won't be the first thing people will notice when i walk around town.
hhmmm... something's good for dinner.
can i just start tomorrow?

UltraElectroMagneticVitamin C
it's my mom's birthday today. since she ain't around, i don't know if we will celebrate her birthday. she said she will call today, so kring's waiting for it. as for me, i will hang around the net, play gunbound perhaps. anywhow, i downloaded a gunbound ringtone last night. i still haven't recieve it until now and that sucks cuz it cost me 15 pesos worth of load. yeah yeah, im wasting money on gunbound. i got cash/load to burn so that's okay i guess. hehehe.
i'm listening to old Eraserheads song. the Ultraelectromagnetic Pop album is just simply the best. no wonder Ely Buendia is a rock icon in the philippines. now, talking about filipino rock icons, i miss hearing P.O.T. songs on the radio. yes, Karl Roy is a rock icon and yes, he did not accomplish what Ely accomplished as a rock star. but the respect he got from the philippine rock scene is so astronomic. try to listen P.O.T.'s songs and when you absorb the music, you'll know they're different. Karl Roy composed songs that is greatly influenced by the west and he easily blend it with the filipino style of music.
we will be going to Danao City tomorrow to witness the mountainbike competition. vior and i already made plans for it. oh yeah, it's the SEA Games i am talking about. hehehe.
when i woke up yesterday, i was greeted by sneezes and all that shit. i can't believe i spent the whole saturday sneezing. kring told me that it is caused by lack of sleep or stress. so i went to bed early after downing 5 bottles of red horse with bob. sorry, kring said to drink a lot of liquid, so i went to grab red horse bottles. i'm kinda ok now, had vitamin C and all sour food that i can intake.
i'm sleepy.

the return of the comeback
i know, i know, it's been a while. it's just that i have been really busy hooking up with a DSL provider and finally, after lots of saliva exchange, shady deals and all that alley talks, i got a DSL connection. i got it only for 995 a month. that's a great deal already. anyways, a lot has happened to me. the first day of school is kinda good. the work i have at our water station is doing well and my internet connection is as fast as tere's eyes when it sights a hot dude.
just last saturday, vior, chucky, rapi, oca, and i participated in this year's MTV Queen City Run. it was a 13.4 kilometer run and i didn't have any practice. i didn't jog for 2 months already because of my operation. it was the first time i jog and it was a scorging 13.4 kilometer run. our team was of course, Mangyans. rapi and chucky ran like their was fire in their pants, vior was behind them for like 2 kilometer away and us oca? well, we were already part of the 2nd batch of finishers. it took us an hour and 40 minutes to make it to the finish line. due to my lack of preparation for the run, my foot gave up on me and it was hurting. i still manage to jog for a few meters and walk again, jog, walk, jog, walk. it was already a routine when my foot complained when i got to north reclamation area.
the good thing about being at the last part of the race are the pretty damsels that were walking already. ooooh, oca and i feast at their meaty legs and smooth skin. when we were nearing the finish line, some already applied baby cologne to their yummy necks. i guess they don't wanna smell like a septic tank when they arrive at the finish line.
it was really good. i feel so good that i finished the race. i got a souvenir shirt and marauly already asked for it, so i will give it to her. next time, i will prepare for the race and not look like a couch potato being punished by running a 13.4 kilometer race. i will upload pics around here so you guys will see how we look like after the race.
special thanks to partlex for being our support during the race.
i will be posting more down here. i guess i will say... I'm back!!!
just last saturday, vior, chucky, rapi, oca, and i participated in this year's MTV Queen City Run. it was a 13.4 kilometer run and i didn't have any practice. i didn't jog for 2 months already because of my operation. it was the first time i jog and it was a scorging 13.4 kilometer run. our team was of course, Mangyans. rapi and chucky ran like their was fire in their pants, vior was behind them for like 2 kilometer away and us oca? well, we were already part of the 2nd batch of finishers. it took us an hour and 40 minutes to make it to the finish line. due to my lack of preparation for the run, my foot gave up on me and it was hurting. i still manage to jog for a few meters and walk again, jog, walk, jog, walk. it was already a routine when my foot complained when i got to north reclamation area.
the good thing about being at the last part of the race are the pretty damsels that were walking already. ooooh, oca and i feast at their meaty legs and smooth skin. when we were nearing the finish line, some already applied baby cologne to their yummy necks. i guess they don't wanna smell like a septic tank when they arrive at the finish line.
it was really good. i feel so good that i finished the race. i got a souvenir shirt and marauly already asked for it, so i will give it to her. next time, i will prepare for the race and not look like a couch potato being punished by running a 13.4 kilometer race. i will upload pics around here so you guys will see how we look like after the race.
special thanks to partlex for being our support during the race.
i will be posting more down here. i guess i will say... I'm back!!!

a little reunion
i don't know if patrick has already arrived from davao. all i know is that he will be back this weekend.
we had a 4-day drinking marathon since pj's return. damn! are we tired of drinking. everyone was already complaining about the consecutive drinking sessions.
"mayta rabag gamay lang, hubog jud raba inig uli!" utol complained.
this week too, was my enrollment. i went straight to the enrollment section, plot the subjects that i will take up for this coming semester and i talked to the dean so gracefully, i felt like i am a car dealer. i have 8 subjects left and i will go to summer class so that my final semester will be as relax as a Radiohead song.
the jamestown boys decided to go for a night out this weekend. i am pretty sure we will spend the night at our new hang out, Kalye 80's. this establishment lies deep in uptown and not all people know about it. the ambiance is really good and the food is served with presentations. their food prices ranges to 150-250 Php. kinda high for students huh? well, the good thing about Kalye 80's is the beer price. a red horse beer costs 35 Php. now, that's a good money to burn for a beer in the upper side of the city.
sadly, daot and rapi couldn't be with us. it would have been a perfect reunion for us boys. well i guess it will take some time before the gang will be complete. right now, i feel acid is burning my stomach. this is what you get when you spend 4 nights of beer and rhum drinking.
that's it for now i guess. i will be posting about what will happen this weekend. i suggest you keep on hitting this blog. :)

half the man i used to
i have been so busy this past few days. first, it was the 10th seminar for PREX and of course, vior, manyak, chucky, danz, and i were there to help out. then second, my very close buddy from davao is back here in Jamestown! since he arrived, we held drinking sessions as if it were bible studies from a certain religous group. in fact, i just got home from Kalye 80's with the gang. it's been 4 straight days of beer drinking and tanduay licking.
patrick will arrive on friday so it's gonna be a blast in closing the month of october.
we all miss pj, it's been 3 years since we last saw him. life's treating him good right now, he's a graduating student this coming semester and he is the frontman of Go Larry Go. a huge and well respected band from Davao. if you talk about cebu, Urbandub's the band you'll first think, if you talk about Cagayan, there's Nancyspongent, and when you talk about davao, you are talking about Go Larry Go.
anyways, tonette's online right now but she's away from her keyboard. probably making up some sandwiches. oh how wish i can grab some cuz i'm so hungry, i could eat a horse.

these medical terms are killing me
i just got out from the hospital yesterday afternoon. after spending almost a week in the hospital, i just couldn't stand my own smell. no matter what smile i will flash the pretty nurses on duty, it just won't work cuz i already stink like Payatas.
ok, so i had appendoctomy. i don't know if that's the correct spelling but that is how it sounds. i can refer to the medical certificate but standing up from this chair is already a chore for me. yup, these stitches hurt everytime i laugh, i cough, etc.
anyways, first day at the hospital and the first person to visit was bobby. i was not able to accomodate bob like a receptionist cuz at that time, my stomach was still in pain. at around 11pm that day, the pain was gone and i was a happy camper. 7am the next day, i was delivered to the Ultrasound Room.
"dri lang ka sir, linya lang ka aning mga mabdos." the personnel said
"ok ra, di man sad ko palupig ug padagkoayg tiyan." i uttered.
and a line of big tummies laughed. it felt weird when my stomach was being examined.
11am, the doctor came to my room with the results of the ultrasound.
"sir, kwaon nato imong appendicitis."
"..."
"kanus-a man?" asked my dad.
"1 pm"
"cge!" i couragely said.
they have to let me wear this stupid gown. stupid cuz everybody can see my behind even if i tie it. at the operating room, i was noisy as hell. talking to the interns, staff, and all. we were laughing so hard that i didn't notice that i was already been hit by anestacia. (is that the correct spelling? damn, i hate medical terminologies.)
when i woke up, i feel so tired and all and i noticed, i was in a different room already! it was the recovery room. i called the nurse and someone approached me and asked me if there's something wrong. i told the pretty damsel i want to go back to my room. she said i still have to wait for a few minutes cuz i still have to recover.
"manghagis ko run!" i jokingly said.
"hagis dha! ahahaha!" nurse carmel said.
when i was delivered back to my room, it was kinda crowded. there was vior and fuvi sitting down smiling at me. i kinda laugh at fuvi at that time, she's got this really childish look and she's like, she's always hyper everyday.
when i came home yesterday night, jb, opal and company came to visit me and i asked jb if he have some chikoys. the taste of ciggarette doesn't excite me anymore. will i be able to quit smoking totally? i hope i can. another struggle for me i guess.
im back at home, trying to recover from this operation. i can say i am lucky cuz i don't have to mind about me playing basketball after dinner and all that appendicitis stuff.
thanks to all the people that visited me during my no-shower days. the text messages, the international txt courtesy by tere and daot. the international call from daot too. hehehe.
it's just that sometimes i'm old enough to keep routines and sometimes i'm child enough to scream.

never understand women
after the "why men are happier" post, i recieved an email from a very good friend dhotti. i want to acknowledge her reaction on that post. she reacted on everything that i wrote. i don't want to tackle everything here cuz it will need a lot of space and you know you don't like really long posts. it gets so boring, all you can think of is to click the close button on your browser.
let me first hit on the chocolate thing. everybody loves chocolates, who doesn't? the point is, women tend to look at their figures more than men. maybe some women doesn't care, but women in general are.
second is the monthly bad trips part, i was talking about menstruation dhot.
about us growing a mustache, i haven't seen a woman sporting a mustache.
there's also the bucket of chicken thing, yes you can eat a bucket of chicken, no doubt about that. but will you? will you really eat a bucket of fried chicken? i don't think so.
lastly, fixing ourselves in 30 seconds. this is just a way to express how faster we are in fixing ourselves than you women. :)
the post was just for fun, you don't really have to get serious about it. you guys might think, "aah, taba is a woman hater". no, i am not a woman hater, i love every reason why they existed here in this planet. if i hate women, i wouldn't stare at the huge billboards in colon with cindy kurleto wearing her undies. if i hate women, i would stop fantasizing angel locsin's body and forget about worshipping the ground that she walks on.
like i said, that post was just for fun. yeah, maybe us men need to understand women. but i like it this way, because if we get to fully understand them, it takes the uniqueness out of these wonderful human beings. if we fully understand everything about them, we might not be fond of them, we won't be chasing after them or we will never gonna drool over them.
women will always be women.
men will never understand the long hours in the dressing room, the fixing of hair now and then, the girl talks, etc. ---and that is why we will never get tired of loving women.

why men are happier
i have been really busy with things these past few days. i have to juggle work and school at the same time and i always find myself tired and sleepy. i still have time for gunbound though. anyways, today's post is all about men. oh yes, dottie, forget about girl power for a while, ok?
i saw a column in some magazine last week about men. no, i ain't reading some homosexual magazines like Toro Toro and Maharlikang Uri. so i saw this article about why men are happier. i decided to make a list instead of a paragraph style article. here's what i came up:
okay, i think that's all i can extract from my head right now. if you girls have any comments, just post it at the comment section. knowing dottie and maimai, i'm sure they'll disagree why men are happier.
if you can come up with a list why women are happier, email it to me at fartmachine5703@yahoo.com and i will be glad to post it here and let these faceless internet users decide.
i'll always love women. **wink**

- our last name stays put :)
- chocolate is just another snack
- we can wear T-shirts in a water park
- we can wear no shirt to a water park
- wrinkles add character
- people never stare at our chest when they're talking to us
- a five-day vacation requires only one backpack
- we will never be pregnant
- we don't get monthly bad trips
- we can open all of our jars
- we don't get to wear napkins
- we can grow a mustache
- it's okay if we get to consume a bucket of chicken
- we can fix ourselves in 30 seconds
- we play better gunbound (nyahahahahahaha! :p)
- lastly, the world is our urinal!

pimp my lantay 2004-2005
after so many drinking sprees, after the unfamous sleep-in-the-middle-of-the-road-due-to-excessive-drinking incident by oca, after the fun times spent with the jamestown boys, the pimp my lantay is now in ruins.
gagang and his cohorts was having their drinking session last thursday night. to make the long story short, after they finish up their alcohol, they immediately went home. leaving the bottles, the borrowed glasses, and most of all, the garbage behind. that night, the pimp my lantay looked so dirty, it resembles the view of White Road.
when my dad woke up, he went outside and was so furious at what he saw, i bet his eyes got dark and all he could think of is to dismantle our beloved lantay. the tools that we used to create the lantay was the same tools used for its destruction. my dad destroyed the lantay, hitting every corner of it like defenseless orange traffic cones down in tagonol. the regulars in the pimp my lantay would have cleaned it up after drinking, as what we always do. well, it has been done and i can't do anything about it but try to break gagang's face.
it was constructed september last year. it was labored by my brother rapi and yours truly. i already texted rapi about what happened and as of this writing, i still didn't get to have a reply from him.
now you ask me, what now jason karl buhia? hhmmmm, what now? an idea is boiling in my head and a plan will soon come up. right now, i have an idea about resurrecting it. but not now, i will wait for rapi when he comes back in january.
we will surely miss the times that we are together at the lantay. the laughter when everybody is drunk and the talks that we shared together sitting on that lifeless thing. yeah, a lifeless thing that was once a witness of our lives.

99 bottles of beer
it's the last day of september and we are now entering the crazy month of october. why crazy? because october is the month where we celebrate the OCTOBERFEST! yes, the month when beer will flow like the indian ocean. there will be a kickoff party somewhere and i have no idea where it will be held. it's okay i guess, i don't have to be in that certain party. i can always float in the foams of red horse or pilsen even if i am just at home with my buddies. there are no plans yet for a night out but it is so obvious, i can smell it.
october is the month for the drinking youth. well, you can still find excitement even if you don't drink but what makes it fun is beer drinking. from Germany (where octoberfest originated) to the rotten islands of the guatemala, beer always flow like water during the month of october. i don't know why but that is tradition and i love to keep it going!
october reminds us how beautiful to stay single and have everything served in a silver platter. no phone calls to make, no arguements and no one to ask permission to except to your mom. well, your mom's never really a problem cuz moms always say yes at the last minute.
anyways, love will always make us men look stupid.
so why bother right? am i saying this base on experience? probably... probably not. what's sure about me is to tell everyone to take out their fake I.D.s, wear their fake eyelashes to look as fashionista as Sarah Mieyer. as for me, i think it's cool to take these chances and i know it's better to fake romances.
as for now, i will enjoy everything that life there is to offer. 1, 2, 3... who's counting anyway? drink all that i want, go out with anyone that i want and at the same time hoping that i am not just a waste of good oxygen.
so long cold september, hello octobeer!

two men and a baby
the other night, vior, fuvi and i went to the USJ-R Student's Night. it was only for USJ-R students but my very very good buddy jb, got me in their band's crew list. fuvi arrived in Jamestown at around 5 pm. since it was still early, vior and i played badminton for a while. after the game, we sat down at the Puerto Suerte lantay to rest for a while. after the short rest, we were off to our respected places to get inside the shower.
we didn't had dinner cuz fuvi and i planned to eat at the school canteen. we waited for vior and at around 7 pm, we were off. when we were waiting for some jeepney, bibo and his friends were there and was also waiting for a ride. when we arrive in USJ-R, i told fuvi to go with bibo to enter the school cuz we still have to wait for jb at the back gate. when jb arrived, we used our smooth talks with the security and voila! we were in! as i went inside the school, i began to miss my san jose days. especially when i saw the flagpole. aaah, the flagpole kids as we were called. i sat down, watch the new faces and some old faces passing by. then i texted fuvi to meet us at the basketball court, in just a few seconds, our little girl arrived.
"taba!!! taba!!!" someone called. it was chad's gf, iris. she asked me how's chad and all that chad stuff. we talked for a while with her friend, jessie. i went back to the group and there was bibo.
"sikit ko ninyo tabs" said bibo.
"sikit lang kay mang robo raba mi run." vior added.
as we were laughing along, more old classmates and friends greeted me and was like, "kayata! naa lagi ka?!". my hands got sore from high fives and low fives that night. we were at the flagpole the whole time. it was our barracks. i was sitting next to fuvi and didn't mind the bands that played early. we were just there checking out the crowd, play some hand games and jam with some good bands.
what sucked that night was the canteen. the canteen was closed for the night. "fuck!" i told myself. i saw a hotdog stand and i looked at fuvi, she saw it too and gave me the smile of a cute 2 yr old kid.
"hotdog fuvs?" i asked.
out of shyness she replied, "ikaw..."
vior then said, "apili mi ni bibo o."
fuvi and i went to the hotdog stand near the akrho tree. then we went back to the pole and had our stomachs filled with hotdogs. it was enough for us to survive the night. so we were back to talking, listening to bands and stuff. fuvi didn't get to run amok at the quadrangle with her friends cuz we were her babysitter that night.
one thing about that night was, smoking was strictly prohibited in the campus. jb said he will hide behind The Ambassadors. it was a good idea cuz i get to rub elbows again with the band's frontman, Eping Amores. we talked to them and asked if they have a light. they did and so we get to smoke. after talking to The Ambassadors, we went back to the pole with fuvi and vior. the crowd was on it's hyper level during that time and as the host introduced The Ambassadors, everyone went near the stage. as usual, they had a good set. by the way, they are now sponsored by Converse already. talk about being a big band huh.
we waited for Twinkle Dudu to play. i don't know what the hell happened to the schedule cuz they were supposed to play at 11 pm that night. they end up playing at around 3 am already. the crowd loves to get up and do some pogo with them but the crowd was so tired that it was only me and bibo who were standing at the moshpit.
after the Twinkle Dudu set, we decided to go home. it was still 3 am and USJ-R students are not allowed to go out. i told fuvi to ride with jb on our way outside and be one of the crew. vior, bibo, and I just walked and told the guard that we are Twinkle Dudu's crew. they fucking bought it and in just a snap of our fingers, we were outside meeting fuvi. at 3 am, we were strolling down the famous colon street. it wasn't something new for us but it was for fuvi. i bet she enjoyed every minute of it. hehehehe. we went inside Chowking colon and when i turn around, bibo was like, "wa koy kwarta parrrt!"
"pili lang diha." i said. i then asked fuvi what she would like for our early breakfast and all i get was, "kung unsa imu, mao pud ako." saying it with that 2 yr. old smile again, i was off to join vior at the counter.
we ended up with the same meals.
after enjoying the longganisa and the our sunny side-up, we got into a taxi and headed straight home. bibo fell asleep and so did vior. i got my short nap too but it wasn't that long. when we arrive, we smoked a couple of ciggarettes at the lantay when fuvi fell asleep. our only flower couldn't help herself lying down at the lantay. i told bibo that we were off and i woke up fuvi. i told her to go to my room and continue her sleep while i go online and play Gunbound. she declined and instead, she was behind me watching the game. she was at the sofa and when i turn back to her, she fell asleep. i woke her up again and asked her to go to my bed.
as for me, fuvi woke me up. yup, she was at my parent's bedroom carrying her sneakers. "mata na tabs bah." she said. i accompanied her and when she got into the trycicle, i went straight back to bed.
it was great. we get to spend it to someone we just met from gunbound. we get to babysit during that night while enjoying the party at the USJ-R main campus.
"way maka diskarte ni fuvi ngadtu gladz kay kami gud ang gwardya." i told fuvi's elder sister, gladys.
"wa na namo pagastoa si fuvi bisag piso." added vior.
talk about babysitting huh.
we didn't had dinner cuz fuvi and i planned to eat at the school canteen. we waited for vior and at around 7 pm, we were off. when we were waiting for some jeepney, bibo and his friends were there and was also waiting for a ride. when we arrive in USJ-R, i told fuvi to go with bibo to enter the school cuz we still have to wait for jb at the back gate. when jb arrived, we used our smooth talks with the security and voila! we were in! as i went inside the school, i began to miss my san jose days. especially when i saw the flagpole. aaah, the flagpole kids as we were called. i sat down, watch the new faces and some old faces passing by. then i texted fuvi to meet us at the basketball court, in just a few seconds, our little girl arrived.

as we were laughing along, more old classmates and friends greeted me and was like, "kayata! naa lagi ka?!". my hands got sore from high fives and low fives that night. we were at the flagpole the whole time. it was our barracks. i was sitting next to fuvi and didn't mind the bands that played early. we were just there checking out the crowd, play some hand games and jam with some good bands.
what sucked that night was the canteen. the canteen was closed for the night. "fuck!" i told myself. i saw a hotdog stand and i looked at fuvi, she saw it too and gave me the smile of a cute 2 yr old kid.
"hotdog fuvs?" i asked.
out of shyness she replied, "ikaw..."
vior then said, "apili mi ni bibo o."
fuvi and i went to the hotdog stand near the akrho tree. then we went back to the pole and had our stomachs filled with hotdogs. it was enough for us to survive the night. so we were back to talking, listening to bands and stuff. fuvi didn't get to run amok at the quadrangle with her friends cuz we were her babysitter that night.
one thing about that night was, smoking was strictly prohibited in the campus. jb said he will hide behind The Ambassadors. it was a good idea cuz i get to rub elbows again with the band's frontman, Eping Amores. we talked to them and asked if they have a light. they did and so we get to smoke. after talking to The Ambassadors, we went back to the pole with fuvi and vior. the crowd was on it's hyper level during that time and as the host introduced The Ambassadors, everyone went near the stage. as usual, they had a good set. by the way, they are now sponsored by Converse already. talk about being a big band huh.
we waited for Twinkle Dudu to play. i don't know what the hell happened to the schedule cuz they were supposed to play at 11 pm that night. they end up playing at around 3 am already. the crowd loves to get up and do some pogo with them but the crowd was so tired that it was only me and bibo who were standing at the moshpit.
after the Twinkle Dudu set, we decided to go home. it was still 3 am and USJ-R students are not allowed to go out. i told fuvi to ride with jb on our way outside and be one of the crew. vior, bibo, and I just walked and told the guard that we are Twinkle Dudu's crew. they fucking bought it and in just a snap of our fingers, we were outside meeting fuvi. at 3 am, we were strolling down the famous colon street. it wasn't something new for us but it was for fuvi. i bet she enjoyed every minute of it. hehehehe. we went inside Chowking colon and when i turn around, bibo was like, "wa koy kwarta parrrt!"
"pili lang diha." i said. i then asked fuvi what she would like for our early breakfast and all i get was, "kung unsa imu, mao pud ako." saying it with that 2 yr. old smile again, i was off to join vior at the counter.
we ended up with the same meals.
after enjoying the longganisa and the our sunny side-up, we got into a taxi and headed straight home. bibo fell asleep and so did vior. i got my short nap too but it wasn't that long. when we arrive, we smoked a couple of ciggarettes at the lantay when fuvi fell asleep. our only flower couldn't help herself lying down at the lantay. i told bibo that we were off and i woke up fuvi. i told her to go to my room and continue her sleep while i go online and play Gunbound. she declined and instead, she was behind me watching the game. she was at the sofa and when i turn back to her, she fell asleep. i woke her up again and asked her to go to my bed.
as for me, fuvi woke me up. yup, she was at my parent's bedroom carrying her sneakers. "mata na tabs bah." she said. i accompanied her and when she got into the trycicle, i went straight back to bed.
it was great. we get to spend it to someone we just met from gunbound. we get to babysit during that night while enjoying the party at the USJ-R main campus.
"way maka diskarte ni fuvi ngadtu gladz kay kami gud ang gwardya." i told fuvi's elder sister, gladys.
"wa na namo pagastoa si fuvi bisag piso." added vior.
talk about babysitting huh.

conversations while drinking coffee
ok so i went with chum to some coffee shop. had coffee like we always do in the past. she asked me about music. i told her to listen to indie bands, foreign or not cuz they have all the freedom to create music without the influence of the big recording companies. you see, these record companies doesn't care if you suck live, all they want is for you to play what the mainstream wants and what kinds of music that will sell. it's all about the sell that they are thinking about. once you are gone from the spotlight and is not saleable anymore, they will leave you on top of your sheets. dispose you like plastic cups used in some kid's house party.
she was nodding all of the time. she then asked me what i want to achieve when i write some stuff. i told her, "i just wish that what i am writing is not plain entertainment, but art".
she then smiled and said, "are these art?"
she was holding the lines that i randomly wrote down at the coffee shop's table napkins. "dili man tingali. ambot."
what i like when i talk to chum is that, she delivers it mostly in english. talk about some well polished girl huh.
another thing that we talk about is about society. just recently, the police force in cebu declared the rival frats (tau gamma and akrho) as criminals. in my opinion, i think they are overreacting. why? cuz not all frat members of those warring fraternities act as criminals. i have lots of friends who are members of the said groups. even my best buddy, rapi is one of them and he is not a criminal, not an ounce in his blood could kill someone.
i gotta admit, all they do is rain on each others parade. the sad part is, they make sure that it'll rain rhinos during their rival frat's parade. drops of acid can be found too, thus the killing of some members. peace should start within their group. they cannot attain peace if the rival group is all dead. try to educate the members and try to hold talks every month.
one thing that keeps them going is power. aaah, the reason that fires up our traditional politicians. arrest the suspected gunners but don't declare the group as criminals. what the police is trying to do is paint another wall using the same brush. can we just look at them kill each other until one fraternity will prevail. we can't let them do that cuz if we will, God knows what will happen, i don't want to picture it in my mind.
the thing is, i love my friends. my friends who are members of these warring fraternities. i don't want to see a good guy like daot get arrested just because he's a tau gamma. i don't want to see rapi get the treatment of a criminal when he applies for a job, i don't want to see opal getting chased by some patrol on his way to minglanilla just because he's an akrho. *wink!*
nevertheless, they already declared them as criminals. as the rhinos falls down on their parade, i won't be surprise if the weatherman will announce: it is signal number three... for hostility.

mea culpa
tere is furious over me. it's just me and my rough way of saying things. she misunderstood me and i can't blame her. she can't accept my apology, sad huh?
aaah, sometimes i think i'm too old to keep routines and sometimes i'm child enough to scream. it's still early, chum chum woke me up with miss call attack. damn girl. anyways, won't go to my morning class today. i'll go straight to manyak's place and continue to sleep. chum said she'll wait for me in school, i'll just text her that i ain't coming.
it's payday today. vior was oh so excited with my first salary.
"pa inom ha!"
"inom ra man kaha?" i replied.
it's not only vior who is excited but so is fuvi. i know fuvi, she wants to spend her day at jamestown. the last time she went here was on wednesday. when we get to talk to GB, she was telling me i was her MAP when she got here.
"unsa ka oras nauli tabs? ikaw akong MAP ganiha tabs"
"unsay MAP?" i asked.
"Most Awaited Person"
i laughed. you just don't know what gunbound brings you. for some, a wonderful game that can get you addicted. for the unfortunate ones, gunbound gets to destroy lives. yup! dropping out of school, stealing money from parents just to go to some cafe, some makes friends turn into enemies, etc.
i hope someone would sing a long-winded song cuz i would be content to hum along. my I.Q. is as low as a nun's hemline and i know that. i just can't stand this, someone so special hates me.

4 a.m.
i didn't get to sleep last night. well, i get to sleep for an hour then i wake up again and again and again. the process is so tiring that at 4am, i jumped off from the bed and went online. talked to gladys and tonette for a while. tere didn't respond, she hates me now i guess. it's all my fault actually, i have not been good at choosing words.
i already apologized.
anyways, chum texted me while i was chatting with tonette. it was 5am, texting to greet me a good morning with a smiley. i thought i was the only one who got bored. i then went inside the shower, wore my usual wear and went straight to manyak's place. there in his room, he was still sleeping. i had an option to make, to get online or lay down beside manyak and go to sleep. i choosed the 2nd option, to go to sleep with main. funny thing is, i woke up after a while and i notice something above my tummy. manyak was hugging me. hehehehe.
i went back to sleep and after 2 hours, i woke up, checked the time and it was already 4 mins. past 10. then main's room opened and there was vior.
"hoi! bastosa ninyo gud!"
"wa gyud koy sala vior! napugos ra ko!"
we tried to woke up main but he's as dead as john lennon. i sat on the bed and vior grabbed the computer chair. as i was lighting a smoke, vior was busy checking his email. his computer gave up on him just a few days back and right now, at this moment, he is formatting the damn thing.
after main's place, i went to the water station for work. went to class at around 4:30pm. i met chum chum at the hallway and we both went to Mouse Trap.
i am downloading this rave song from Bonnie Bailey. i heard this on the radio on the way to school and i asked chucky the title of it. while his head moving side to side, "ever after".
damn chuck... such a party goer. he asked me to go with him if i have the time, i'd rather stay home.
society now bothers me.

of guns and alcohol
as i arrive yesterday night, i already saw some people at the lantay. it was gagang's birthday and he was celebrating it and was making sure there is beer to flow.
"idol!"
"atay ra sag idol ninyo ah! sud sa ko kay wa koy kaon. karon lang mo!" i replied.
vior was inside the house watching tv. he have to use my computer to make his project. while i was eating, manyak arrived and stood by me at the table. we were talking about some things about his day and stuff. after eating, i directly went outside and joined the fun rounds of the glass. after a while, jonrey went home and when he got back, he placed something in his side.
"kayata!!! e uli na du!" i said.
"wa oi. depensa lang gud."
"undangon ta ni oi" bolts complained.
jonrey got back with a gun. i went inside cuz i just don't like the thought of drinking with someone who's got a gun. after a couple of minutes, they are aalready in our porch, it was raining. still, jonrey's got his gun. he begged me to get outside so i joined them again. vior was still on the pc at that time. so, we forgot about the gun, he just placed it on the table. then jonrey got up and said he's done for the night. while he was putting his gun on his side...
PAK!!! the gun fell on the floor.
"KAYATA!" everybody yelled at him.
as we looked at the gun on the floor, it was pointing at me. damn. it was loaded and was ready for some killing. i was just lucky it didn't fire when it hit the floor. we then asked jonrey to go straight home. opal was shaking his head and gagang got nervous. as for me, i was thinking, what if it really hit me?
after the bottles, it was near 3am and vior has not finished his project, so i told him to just lock the doors after he finish his project. i went to bed.
it's 9am, gagang arrived looking for some sparkle but ended up buying a Sprite litro. he likes to drink sweet stuff when he's dealing hangover. so we're just here, with a pack of cigarettes, a sprite litro and some Radiohead on the stereo.
how nice.

sushi afternoon
i didn't get to post after i got home from vior's place. it was already 4am and i still got work at 8, so i decided to go to bed. anyways, we went to Royal Conquors. i called opal if he will go with us but he ain't got no dough so i called manyak, the reciever told me he was still asleep and it was already 11am, that says it all, manyak doesn't wanna go. i called up bob and he said yeah but he will just catch up with us. after fixing myself, i directly went straight to vior's place. on our way to the restaurant, we dropped by hazel's workplace. hazel jumped in the mobile and the 3 of us were off. with empty stomaches, we marched straight to the restaurant's entrance with our eyes on the buffet table.
vior texted bob where he was so we could wait for him. bob replied that he can't go out cuz it's raining. we decided to surf the buffet table, we all looked like kids putting up something on the plate. little mountains of food was our motive and little mountians did we have. sushi was still the shiznit for me. the japanese is just... aaah, sushi... can't get enough of those cute, colorful things.
as we were enjoying our mountains of food, we talked about a lot of things and we planned to go to this place where the image of our Mother Mary cried blood. the story goes like, it was her birthday around 7 years ago and of course, there was a mass at their church. then suddenly, blood flowed down from her eyes and the melting of candles turned blood, the place was filled with the aroma of flowers and flowers bloomed at that time.
we will go to that place on friday. i'll try to ask permission from my dad to let me off on that day. the work at the water station is kinda bothering but what else can i do? "trabaho ka para sa imung bisyo, mao ayaw jud absent!". as what vior told me, hahahaha! so yeah, danz wanted to go and we will try to convince manyak to come with us too.
it's already 5am. i woke up from a deep sleep an hour ago. i don't know but my head is still filled with things i need to get away. seems like i couldn't get away. i need to go back to sleep, need to at least forget... at least for a while.
we don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
burn motherfucker, burn!

bahal
got home drunk again last night. i went to vior's place and i saw hazel sitting at the sala. "tabs!!!" nyeeeh! my blood rushed to my head when she called me. she was on the dark side and i never saw her sitting there. "ayawg pakurat haze!".
anyways, the night was cold and we were in the mood for something. something we usually do with rapi, something that makes us forget the things in our heads, something to do with alcohol. vior checked the empty bottles of red horse and after that, we were off to buy a case of beer. we then went up to their terrace and when we were about to start, vior uttered, "cge na man lang kag inom run taba."
"mao lagi, mao man say gipangita." i said. we texted pareng chad and when he got there, "wow! tang ina naman to. laseng kahapon, maglalaseng na naman ngayon!". just the other day at tingin's wake, pitchels of bahalina flooded us like the great floods of New Orleans.
what have i become?

as the footsteps died out forever
Wednesday morning, we went to tingin's place to go support his family. there was my dad and some of his friends here in Jamestown. Chuck's dad, Boi Rabor then approached our table and asked if we want to drink. we all know what our answer was so he bought us cases of beer. vior, jerik, naner, manyak, oca and I went down with it and enjoyed every bottle that was opened. well, not for jerik and oca, they refused to drink. we were there playing cards, laughing our asses off, as if we were happy that someone died. that's just us. now i miss the days when the gang was still complete and we will go to some dead neighbor and we play cards and have the loudest laughs because of some good jokes. anyways, we finished drinking at around 5:30am. it was another thursday morning. vior, pakaw, damboy, insik and i were the only ones left so we decided to transfer at the Puerto Suerte lantay. damboy left with his girl cuz he was already drunk. pakaw went home so it was insik and vior who went with me at the lantay. insik decided to buy some smoke at Rose's store and when he went back, he brought along a sad news.
"patay na si ma'am grace" he said.
"klaru diha sik!".
a yawning yort came out and when he joined us at the lantay, we told him that ma'am grace died. the first word he said upon waking up was, "kayata!". yan-t then confirmed that ma'am already left for good. teary-eyed, vior bowed his head as i punch a wood in the lantay. "sayoha ra oi!", we both said.
ma'am grace succumbed to liver cancer. a woman that isn't fond of drinking and smoking but she still got the big C. it's just so not right huh? it felt so weird when we heard the news cuz we spent all night drinking. "kita ani, taasa pa natog laktonon oi.", vior uttered a comment. the truth is, we don't know. maybe we get our chance to taste death tomorrow, today, next week, next month... who really knows? if it's our time, it's our time.
after some time, we got the news that her remains can be viewed at St. Francis homes down in highway. it will be viewed once because the body will go back to her hometown, moalboal. last night was our chance to see our beloved friend, so the jamestown boys went to see our ma'am for the last time. the bystanders from Rose's Store arrived. we said goodbye to ma'am grace.
i can still hear her call me, "tabachoi!". thanks for the memories, ma'am!

stupid eyes
yesterday was Inayawan's Fiesta. of course, we went there for some food and booze. Noel invited us at his place for dinner and so yeah, we were there. after dinner, opal, naner, main, and I went outside for some air. beside Noel's house, there was a party too and there was a band. we were standing at the side when the singer went up the small stage and sang Heaven Knows. i just couldn't take the song and when it got me into the state where smile and tears will go together, i realized it was my cue to exit. after that, i went back and after a minute or two, the singer again started to sing a familiar song. i swear i heard it before and when he hit on the chorus, "...How did you know i needed someone like you in my life..." all i could say was.. "suko man tingali ning singer nako".
i don't know if opal noticed these stupid eyes but they were holding me back cuz i wanted to walk out again. after the song, i was in my old place again and was in a deep thought. naner tapped my shoulders and showed me the bottles of beer. aaaahh, cold, golden things that makes things a lot more easy to take, a lot more easy to bare.
and so it started. vior and hazel arrived. oca, pareng chad and yort showed up too. hazel, vior, and i were talking about flag football and all. hazel then gave me a strap. a reggae strap around my hand with a marijuana design on it. "imo na ni tabs kay mura kog bagsik tan-awon ani. ako man sad gihatagan si vior ana." thanks haze.
we were drinking, not minding the time cuz today is a holiday. everyone went home, everyone were drunk. opal, main, bibo, and a bunch of them left around 3am i guess. vior gave hazel a ride home so it was me, oca, chad, and tiyago left in the round table. "sasabay ako sa inyo pare. iinom ako ng iinom hanggang matumba ko kayo." said pareng chad. oca uttered a smile and i was like, okay. after a few bottles, chad was throwing up. "tang ina, ano ba tiyan mo taba? semento?!". that was a good one, oca was already leaning on the table and tiyago was busy throwing up too. they left me laughing at them and oca was talking to himself. i decided to drink 1 more bottle before i go. i look at my watch, it was 5am. i look at ourselves, we were fucked up.
i woke up pareng chad, then i woke up oca. oca gave me a hard time, he wouldn't get up and i was like, "tawag nalng ko ug tanod oca?". i dragged his body up and so he had no choice but to stand up and walk. "pare, tulungan mo ako kay oca." i told pareng chad. "di ko na nga kaya sarili ko. putang ina ka talaga taba, ano ba kinakain mo ha? nag training ka ba uminom?"
as we walk by the road, we said goodbye to tiyago and i told the sleepwalkers that we don't have money for a ride home so we will just walk. oca suddenly ran across the street, so i ran after him and pare was all dumbfounded by what we were doing. "wa nay blema plete! di na kailangan!" oca yelled. i grabbed him and said, "wa tay plete oi! ayaw pahamak oca!". a jeep pulled over and oca jumped in, so i drag pareng chad and made him sit beside oca. as for me, i was hanging on the monkey bar. good thing, the driver didn't asked for the fare when i asked him to stop.
oca was laughing all the way to his home, pareng chad was telling me, "first time ko to pare. tang ina naman to o".
sunrise was already at our sight and when i got home, i went straight to my bed and just stare at the ceiling. i didn't want to think anymore so i closed my eyes. i just woke up right now and i only had 4 hours of sleep. just great.
my condolence to the Ang family. Tingin Ang died because of a heart attack yesterday morning. a thief went inside their place and he ran after him. when they caught the thief, he and some trisikad drivers were beating the ass off the punk when suddenly, he had a heart attack.
strange atmosphere.

a family
she's a dear friend here at jamestown. she sends me text messages once in a while and she always goes like, "taba!!! musta n man ka???!!".
we talk during our bystanding mode at Rose's Store. whatever we need or want, she gracefully hands it to us and happily accepting our coins. anyways, she's a BSC-Education graduate and completed a Caregiving course at CCSDC. everyone calls her Ma'am Grace. she's an ex-teacher at USJ-R but she decided to quit for i don't know why. she took up caregiving classes and after that, she just kinda like, disappeared in Jamestown, then we knew that she was already in Taiwan. everybody was happy for her and all that.
just recently, i went to the Puerto Suerte lantay and i heard yan-t talking about hospitalization and stuff. i asked who was in the hospital and said, "si ma'am grace gud". i asked, "abot na diay siya? di ba naa man sya sa taiwan run?".
then i knew after 4 months of work in taiwan, she went home with a disease. her liver is getting bigger and needs operation. i was shocked. for a woman who does not drink, it was just so weird. now, ma'am grace needs 4000 CC of blood. her blood type is A+ and mine is an O. that means, i can donate blood. as for me, i have been donating blood regularly every six months, so needles ain't a problem. i talked to her cohort, girlie and told her that i can donate blood. tomorrow is my schedule, me and mainyak and vior will go visit ma'am grace in community hospital and check her out.
yan-t said ma'am grace is so skinny already. poor ma'am grace.
hold on ma'am, my badass blood is coming. i'm pretty sure she will overcome this dreadful thing that happened to her life.
here in jamestown, we're not just friends, we're family.
... and i just hope blood will flow out of me... not gravy. hehehe.

last night was noel's birthday. after the PREX seminar, manyak and i bumped into vior and told us to go to noel's place in inayawan. we fetched oca and we were off. when we arrive at the birthday boy's house, we had a couple of lumpia and other good stuff on the table. then of course, we served ourselves with beer. we finished drinking at 3am already, as if it was a saturday. at that time, no means of transportation is at sight. so we walked from inayawan to jamestown. on our way, oca and main had a couple of stops to buy ciggys.
i want a DSL connection. my internet is not working properly because of the dirty phone line. to hell with PLDT.
===================================================
if i had a scheme for everything, i think i can change it all
if i had it in me to stop my random thoughts and my dumb dreams
if only i could say, take a good look then look the other way
frustrations, hell, who needs it? who needs it anyway?

hack
ok so i saw a documentary about hacking yesterday. wow, i mean wow! there's a magazine for hackers which is legally out in the market. there are a lot of kinds of hack. a hacker is defined as a white hat, whom he will hack a certain system and tells the administartor how he got into the system so the administrator will know what to do to prevent the hack. there is also a black hat hacker, this is the more viscious one. it gets into your system, steals anything what he can steal and will not inform the administrator that he has been hacked.
the skilled hackers were interviewed on that documentary. they really know what is going on in the internet. what i know is that we can play games, shop, steal songs, chat, emails and all other stuff. what we don't know is how it works behind those features. from how bytes are sent to who controls the internet. hhhmmm, someone is controlling the internet? yep, the United States has the control over the internet. from the domians, IP addresses, what site that will have the biggest database, and all other stuff working for the internet. to us, they say it's bad.
but who cares? as long as i play gunbound, my computer is in good condition, my buddies are online and all that stuff... i can put my tech side to rest. =)
i'm at manyak's place right now, the sun has reached its zenith but he is still sleeping. imma go play gunbound now. hehehe. no, i'll sign on to yahoo for a while.

Make Your Momma Proud
went to MYMP concert last night with vior, hazel. mainyak, and with my sister. we arrived at the aznar colessium at around 8. we purchased the least priced ticket. then hazel went up to her subordinates and gave us the worth 300 seats. talk about connections huh. hehehe. anyways, so there were cebu bands which i do not know but they were good. especially Plantation Red, they played stuff from coldplay. then the crowd kept on piling up like bricks for the renovation of a roman arena. the people cannot wait, so are the koreans that was sitted front of us. then they gave the opening remarks for MYMP and the people was shouting and all that shit. after the beautiful remarks, everybody thought that they are gonna play immediately, as i knew it, they still have to set up. hahahaha! the crowd have to wait for like, 20 mins. or so to finally hear them play.
after the setup, they had a sound check from a popular band, which i do not know of. hahaha! yeah yeah, i need to go mainstream and all that. anyways, the lights were on, the crowd became cheerleaders and then after the sound check, the pretty Juris went up on stage and everyone went crazy. as i saw her, i saw a pretty damsel with a very nice hair. she wore a blue skirt which is so fun to look at when she moves and a sandal, the cutest sandal i have ever seen in my life, a a pink sleevless. their opening song was True Colors by Phil Collins. one of my favorite of their remakes.
her voice is just... aaaah, very calming and could give you emotional overdrive for each song. the second song they performed was from Bob Marley, Waiting In Vain. it was the best cuz they made it more reggae. as she was singing the song, she gently moved her hips left and right, so gentle that you just wanna grab it and dance with her. main and i can only say one word... lamia! i can still see her do that hips thing when i close my eyes. she was so graceful, she's like the moving hammock at sugar beach. aaaah, Juris.
so they played more songs and everyone was cheering and singing along. vior and i waited them to play our favorite, Sa Kanya. when she started singing it, everyone went wild and was raising their hands like they saw God. one of the best performed song of the night was I'll Never Get Over You and I'm Crazy For You. those songs got me teary-eyed and mesmerized in its very very special way. it fucking tickled me and gave me butterflies in my stomach.
they also played songs not found on their LP. She Will Be Loved and the english version of Someday We'll Know. yeah, english version cuz there's an indonesian version by i don't know who. hehehe. the artist i think, is already dead.
before they played Get Me, they asked the crowd to stand up then they started playing. then it was followed by their last song for the night, Every Little Thing He Does (Is Magic). then the front stage was filled with people who wanted to get a photo from the beautiful Juris. the played more than 10 songs. we bought the cheapest ticket and we got the expensive seats. nice.
after the concert, we went straight to Sideline. got a couple of drinks and some food. then we logged off at around 2 am. on the way home, manyak was on his talkative mode. telling us that he is still hungry, we stopped over at inayawan to buy siomai. siomai was good too. hehehe.
i am off to Gunbound after this, tere is so cold when she talks to me. aaaah, it hurts.

the gent and the club
to be a gentleman is to know what is happening in your sorroundings. you got to be aware of whats going on. know the current events and stuff like that to use it in a conversation between peers and people you meet each day. the book i am reading is full of everything. from table manners, flaskmanship, tipping, what to listen at the jukebox, what to drink, how to drink, what to order, how to order, and a lot more. i may not apply everything what is in the book, like flaskmanship, damn, i havent even seen one in my life. it is like the beef that you had at a fine restaurant, a rare one. anyways, i hope i will be able to apply more than 50 percent in the book.
as you have noticed, i am not using the percent sign and other related things, it is because i am at manyaks place right now and his computer is swedish. its keyboard is different (shall we say weird) from our ordinary keyboard.
prelim week has just finished and i think, after all the absences ive had, i did good. i got on yahoo messenger just a while ago and i have offline messages from my good friend joy. asking me where i am and what i am doing. she misses me. got an offline message from tonette too and i think shes kinda busy already cuz she has not gone online for a while. havent heard of mai, doti, and daot for a while now and some other friends. i hope they are doing good.
i still have to download the messenger at on my PC. it has retained its connection and is now running like the US track and field team. i also have to download the new version of AVG and update my anti spyware program. i have lots of online things to do huh. this is because i prioritize gunbound. hehehe. have to download their patches and all. am i an adik? i think i am. hahaha! at least i admit it but helena? she kept on resisting that she aint no adik. yeah whatever tere. hehehe.
daot should download and start playing it too.
join the club!

for the brain
sorry for the late posts. anyways, my PC's internet connection has just got back to normal mode. everytime i get on the net, i go straight to Gunbound. sorry guys but there's a stiff, friendly competition between the MangyanS rank. tere has just made it to the 6th rank and she's a battle axe already. we have 500 GPs difference, not too far but i think she'll go blast to the 4th rank.
i'm in an internet cafe right now, waiting for my next class. at the school's gate, there was a huge crowd and they were all shouting, raising fists, begging for President Arroyo to resign. i don't think she will, i don't think it's a good idea either. who will replace her? Susan Roces? or Jose Maria Sison? that's a big no no to us. the point is, everybody cheated in the election. "gipildi sa tinikasay" shall we say. aaah, Philippine politics is always interesting and full of action. i don't want to start talking about the government and the politicians, it will take me forever.
it's prelim week for us and it's kinda good. i miss yahoo messenger too and the people i left behind. namely, tonette, mai, daot, joi, etc.
i will download yahoo messenger tonight if i will have time so i may be able to talk to these guys. i wonder what tonette is doing right now... sleeping for sure. hehehe. and about her book, i'm half way done. i like it and all of its deep vocabulary. foor for the brain ei? hehe.

i am so thankful and i feel bad about myself. i was a burden to someone. im sorry. but hey, i am bound to continue my studies and try to be as focus as a ninja.

eating me
i'm at patrick's internet cafe right now with maniac. i will be off to gunbound after this. just an update about what's happening on everything. let me start with daot and dottie's wedding anniversary last july 5. was that two years ago when we met hazel, shine, and honey? wow. time is really surprising huh. anyways, on that same day, chucky celebrated his birthday. we didn't get to raise some glasses and broke some bottles but i think he had fun with his classmates.
as for me, i have been absent in my classes for almost 2 weeks already. i just hope the teachers didn't come up with an idea of dropping me. i am afraid i am back with my old self again, i don't want it but it just come up like an old nightmare. everything is messed up with my studies. my graduation on march is getting blurred and so is my head. i couldn't focus and i am getting melancholic. i have no one to talk to, no one to express what is inside me and all and it is slowly eating me from inside.
aaah, taba. you're getting stupid again. you're not using your head again. i could not do things right anymore since she left. with all these, i can't blame anyone but me.
help.

the greatest fall
my life is a total mess.
graduating in march is not that sure. it all depends on my grades this sem. if i fail a single subject, i can't graduate in march. i thought i was doing ok, coping up with everything that has happened and is happening. sometimes i care, sometimes i don't.
i miss her more with each day that she's gone. this is my greatest fall. when everything started between us, it was the first time in my life that i did something right.
i used to be so focused and stuff but i don't know. i just lose it.
i shouldn't be posting stuffs like this in my blog.
not here.

tipping
i have not been posting on this blog for a couple of days already. it's because of my sloppy internet connection. perhaps it's my computer who has been messing up. some viruses are having a good time destroying some files. they're not just files, they're attacking the system32 files. argh! sooner or later, i will format my PC and it could take me 2 days before it will be back to normal. right now i am in Mouse Trap, an internet cafe here at our school. oca is within my eye sight and i think he is studying. yep, you read that right. oca is studying for his exam later in management. it's nice to know that the jamestown boys are trying hard to finish college. thanks to Marty Isola, everyone is now studying.
anyways, i am still in the first chapter of the book. i am now in the photography part. damn, even in taking photos, the essentials of being a gentleman is still there. i wil make a post more about it when i get to understand everything and finish chapter one.
tipping is one of the traits of a gentleman. almost all of us back here have excuses like, "studyante pa ta oi..." how ungentleman isn't it? in the book, it says tip for 10% or more if the service is good. but in a country like the Philippines and with youngsters like me, i don't know about that 10%. but we can always leave some coins so i think that's enough for now right?
my avatars in gunbound has been deleted. it's because they are hacked items. boohoo! now i have to save some gold to purchase new ones. my student, tere is now getting better, she knows the basics of it and is now a guild member of MangyanS. yup, that's our guild, exclusive for jamestown players only. yeah, tere ain't from jamestown but hey, she's an exception. hehehe.

forced marriage
i got busy with school and everything. tere is now a certified gunbound adik. i always have so much fun doing things with her. i am fond of her, that's why. she makes me smile like this wide ^_______________________^
anyways, a couple of days ago, tonette and i were talking about a tradition about force marriage or something like that. she wants me to write something about it and what my views are. here goes nothing.
forced marriage is a shotgun marriage. where either of the party gets to point a gun on another party's head just to say yes for the wedding. sad to say but there is a culture that is so ok with it. first is the chinese culture. they call it or we call it, "buya". i don't know if that's the right spelling but that is how we say it. anyways, the chinese wants to keep their family's wealth by forcing their relative's children to marry each other. so the wealth will just go round and round within the family and not to other families. the muslim has this one too. i don't know how they call it and i don't know what's its purpose. they also have this thing where a person can marry more than twice. as a Catholic, i can say it's no good. but we have to accept the fact that they are a lot of different cultures that exists. we are indeed strange. yeah yeah, i've heard a lot of people say, "if only the whole world is like this and that and that....". come to think of it, if we are all the same, if we are all good and all, don't you think the world is a boring place to live? married couples have lots of differences but it will be all good if they get to choose whose difference they can love.
forced marriage is somewhat weird. you get to marry someone you don't like (mostly) and someone you don't have any plans to be your wife/husband. should i say abolish it? yes, i want to but what can i do? start an organization and go march to the congress hall? this kind of culture or practice is difficult to get rid of completely because it has been there for ages already. if i really have the guts to do it, i know what i will look like in the end. i would probably look like a dwarf that has been dipped in a bucket full of pubic hair.
i know we are all different. i choose this culture, this religion, and this practice. marry one and die for that one. if you are looking for someone who is just like you, im sorry to tell you that you will never find someone like you. we are all unique in our own ways. God created us with imperfections so that we will need each other. yeah, our Daddy is smart. picture a world where all people are perfect, has everything and all that crazy things. i picture a world with no love. marrying everyone does not make you perfect. marrying everyone does not make it any better.
i don't know about you but i don't want us to be all perfect. moreover, i don't want to marry someone just because my parents want me to marry her. it will only result to adultery and all that bad stuff. what an ugly scene will it be.
forced marriage does not work for me but it works for some people. let's respect that and hope that it will soon be cut off.
i think that's it. if you want to correct me or add more to it, just post a comment.

like a wallpaper
i am suppose to write something for tonette. about being single or something but i forgot what really is there to talk about. she's not on so i couldn't ask her. hehehe. so i'll just post what happened today.
woke up 6:15am today. my head was so heavy since tere and i were having fun with vior playing gunbound 'til 2:30am last night. yes, she now plays gunbound and had me use my gold for her avatar. it's all good anyway and she's not around right now. she said they have to go to frisco cuz their visas had expired. so, yeah, i went to all my classes and the only teacher that bothers me is my Econ 8 teacher. she's like, playing terror and all. 12:30pm and i was off. went back home directly and fed myself with a couple of adobo. after lunch, went to oca's place to check NBA.com since i didn't know who won game 4 of the spurs-pistons series. egad! it was a massacre! the pistons overwhelmed the spurs with 31 points! geeze, the scoreboard got me into a catatonic state.
after that, i talked to tere and vior and we decided to go play gunbound again. hehehe. i got disconnected and tere got kicked out from the computer by oj. so i headed back home and had a nap. when i woke up, vior was watching tv in the living room. i directly jumped in the shower for i have a 5:30pm class to go. after the class, i walked my way down to USJ-R to look for a jeepney. you can't get on a jeepney at that time in colon, so i decided to go to carbon. when i was about to pull a jeep, i noticed someone familiar. i saw bobong.
i crossed the street and give him a lil poke on his shoulder. he was all smiles and stuff and told me that he sent me a message asking me if i have plans for tonight since it's a friday. sadly, i don't have plans. hehehe. i could have call for a drinking session but i didn't get to see vior.
no one is online right now except for the adiks, jerik and dodong mani. we are not talking either cuz the two are playing gunbound. telling me all about their GPs and their ranks and stuff. do you know what i am doing right now? well, posting yeah and while doing this, i am looking for Love Hina wallpapers. hehehehe. i found some high quality wallpapers. i know i know, i am being obsessed with something i really like right now. it's not a bad thing anyway, as long as i don't kill for those wallpapers. ^_^
i still have to copy these cds and return it to dodong mani. tonette asked me to send her a copy and i just hope the cds will play on her media player cuz it won't play on some. i dunno, i think it has to do with the version. good luck on that!

the richest man in the world
tonette told me to write something about this. ok, limme start...
a guy is depress because he wants to be the richest man in the world and he think he can't be the one. makes me think, how come? is it so important to be the richest guy in the world that you get so depress and eat a gallon of ice cream? you see my friends, there is always someone who is better than you. no matter what you do, no matter how shady the deals are, there is always someone who is better, richer, lovelier, sexier than you. that is reality and yeah, it is harsh huh? not really. it is not harsh if you accept these things. learn to accept that you cannot be on top of the world. learn how to appreciate the things you have in your life.
bill gates is reported to be the richest man ever at present. do you know what i think? i think he is a lucky bastard. he can buy everything in this world. but i also think i am richer than bill gates. yes, i am richer than bill gates! why? because i have a loving family that thinks i am handsome (hahaha!), i got vior, rapi, bob, oca, etc. why do i feel like i am richer than bill gates? because i count my blessings. i count because i appreciate each one of them. bill gates may have that luxury car that we always love, but does he have a friend like helena? does he have a caring friend like tonette? or an adviser who's name is hazel?
now who is the richest man in the world? we all are. it all depends on you, do you want to be the richest? count your blessings, appreciate the people around you. the things that makes you smile, feel blessed and you will be the richest person in the world. but don't let it go to your head because even if you feel that you are the richest man on earth, there will always be someone who is better than you. do you know who is more better than all of us?
God.

hot springs
this scene with the gang is very common in the series. this is the hot spring of Hinata Inn, the dormitory for the girls.
Love Hina
just finished watching an anime series. it's a very nice anime with pretty good plots and the characters are well animated. the series is more than 40 episodes with their winter special and an OVA (Original Video Animation). Love Hina is voted best manga release in the U.S.
keitaru and narusegawa's relationship is somewhat unique in it's own way. it's kinda complicated to discuss it here. if you want a copy, i think i can burn you some. i think this is about 4 CDs and each one have 20 episodes. well, not all cuz the OVA contains only 3 episodes and the christmas special only has 4 i think. anyways, this anime is not hentai. as an anime fan, this may go down to the erotic division. erotic because the sexiness of the characters are there and each character's body is very detailed. sorry for the hentai lovers because there are no nipple action in this anime. this anime is mixed up with technologies and supernatural monsters shall we say.
enough of that, my hair is red. yup, vior and kring² the other day painted it with red. they said it's just a highlight thing or something like that. but it turned out to be that every strand had turned red! i dunno, but most of it though. it's the first time in my life that i put something strange to my hair. everyone was like, "kayata! nagpa tina ka? klaru kaau du!".
oh well, that is how it goes. after this, no more highlights for me and all.
imma go buy some cds tomorrow. i want a copy of this thing. there's a dvd copy available but i think each dvd only has 5 episodes or in that average. i don't want to shell out lots of money just for that. just to give you a an idea on what Love Hina looks like, i think i can download some wallpaper or images for you. i'll post it here after a while.
anyways, bert, what does the word "hina" means in japanese? put it in the comments section, will ya? thanks.
now i'm getting obsessed.

wishing for that time machine
im glad i still get comments from you guys. thanks a bunch. makes me want to write more in this hyper thing. anyways, i didn't go to school today. just stayed home and it made me think. what i was thinking? i'll leave it private. can i?
i had my siesta this afternoon and a phone call from my cellphone woke me up. it was pareng chad calling. i answered it and in a worried voice he said, "pare, kunin mo ang revo sa amin. na flat tire ang motor ko, pwede bah? drive mo nalang, andito ako sa intersection sa dawis patungong tabunok. magdala ka ng kasama para may mag carry ng motor." of course i said yes.
so i got up, reached for my license, put on my shirt, and went straight to their house. i was kinda worried cuz i thought his uncle rommy was there. luckily, no one's around except for their maids.
"ding dong!" i pushed that button. a girl then came and handed the keys directly to me. i thought i still have to convince her to give me the keys. when i was at the steering wheel, damn, i felt like it was mine. hahaha! power steering just kicks ass. so anyways, i stopped by at opal's place to pick up some peeps. opal peeped from their window and asked why i was driving mr. quiza's revo. i told him to jumped in with whoever there is. so him, dcart, and dodong mani jumped in. to make the long story short, we placed the motorcycle at the back of the revo and went back home. hehehe. sorry guys, blame maimai for me being lazy to type and tell, we're having this "call" at yahoo messenger. :)
i feel nostalgic these past few days. a person whom i miss so much. too bad, the texting and all just faded away. maybe she's busy or maybe she just got tired of me or something like that. maybe i'm out, maybe she has pushed me out of her. most probably, it's a product of my stupidity. sorry for that but i long for her...

kuya taba
back.
went to Parish Renewal Experience (PREX) this weekend. it's a seminar where you get to know more about yourself and the Catholic church. it's been fun cuz my batchmates were kuya manyak, kuya chucky, and ate dandel. kuya vior's batch (batch 7) was the sponsoring batch. free meals and all were given to us. our batch (batch 8) were all youth, well there are 4 senior citizens that attended but out batch was the pioneering in youth recruitment. anyways, we had confession and all that stuff, felt so light. i gained wisdom with that 3-day seminar. we will be the next sponsoring batch on august since PREX is held on every other month. with the batch 8 full of teenagers and yuppies, the PREX here in Laray will be able to have their music ministry. the chairman? who else but our loving adrian germina. by the way, ate dandel is the vice president in our batch and the three of us (chucky, manyak and me) are the PROs. there was a plan to make me the treasurer but i declined by campaigning for my opponent. hehehe. vior and i just finished our tanduays. yeah, just the two of us with our two bottles of tanduay. we were talking about me and him donating a banner for PREX. Prex Laray is still struggling, no instruments for the music ministry, funds, recruitments and all other problems. but that's okay i guess cuz we are all offering this to the Almighty One.
i am planning to make a little altar in my room. i want my room to be a solemn place to pray. i will start tomorrow after i go to school to change some subjects. vior and i have a lot of plans for PREX since we will be helping our very own parokya. it's kinda ironic to talk about these things while drinking but these are our plans and we want to achieve it. everytime vior and i sits for a drink, we always have this serious thing going on with us. life, school, love, etc.
we miss rapi. i guess it is because we get to hang out with each other always. after missing rapi, we missed more people. daut, patrick, pareng pj, doti, mai²... you guys better get your asses back here.
after cleaning our office at PREX, vior, dandel, jb, chucky, manyak and i went out for lunch this afternoon. yeah, a lunch date at Gelo Lang. an eat all you can venue that is. we had so much food for lunch. manyak felt dizzy already and went to sleep on the way home. we had a good time though.
this is the last day of our vacation. summer was good, summer was bad. i don't want to talk about this right now cuz i might go very emotional and may result to some silent treatment. hehehe. before i end this, you guys should download the beta version of Yahoo Messenger. the Call feature kicks royal ass!
i'm listening to Imago right now. i got their new song Akap just recently. awww man, it is soooo sweet.

the thinker
that pldt internet connection is still inactive. damn. i need to clear things out with them cuz i might end up paying for it without using the goddamn thing.
ok, so let's talk about my day. aaah, i spend my day thinking. thinking about how i ended up entering the women's comfort room in E-Mall. how could a dude like me made a mistake like that? i've been thinking a lot these past few days. let me say that again, i think, I...Think! stuff about how to pull off all passing grades for this semester. i didn't have failures anymore for sems already but this sem is crucial, if i fail a subject, i will be a summer graduate. that'll be boring isn't it? i passed all my subjects 4 sems back, i should know the formula by now huh. i dunno but partlex and i will be using the same stuff that we did 4 sems ago, we call it, "Ang Sekreto Sa Pag Eskwela". hehehe. just for fun but yeah, the secret is not really a secret at all. it's more of a technique, the zero absences technique. yeah yeah, it may not be too convincing for you but it really works.
watch me.
aside from my gunbound thing, i've been downloading songs for days now. the newly acquired program (limewire) got me downloading again. i wanted all that P.O.T. songs but still, i couldn't find it in Limewire. shit. i need to contact all my old rock friends and try to see if they have a copy of that LP. right now, i want to get a hold of all the nirvana acoustics, the best of stone temple pilots, and all the songs in that new destiny's child album. ok ok ok, i ain't going gay or something but i gotta admit, DC's songs are the shiznit when it comes to their genre. who introduced me to them? a girl who lives in san jose california, the cherry on that ice cream, Helena. yup, she brainwashed me with DC and now i want all of them songs. hehehe.
vior is back online, he got a modem from yort, a US Robotics external modem. he's nowhere to be found at yahoo messenger though. wanna know where you can locate him? yes, Gunbound City, Philippines. hahahaha! i still have 2 downloads to go and i am off to gunbound. need to get my GPs up. :)
ok, so let's talk about my day. aaah, i spend my day thinking. thinking about how i ended up entering the women's comfort room in E-Mall. how could a dude like me made a mistake like that? i've been thinking a lot these past few days. let me say that again, i think, I...Think! stuff about how to pull off all passing grades for this semester. i didn't have failures anymore for sems already but this sem is crucial, if i fail a subject, i will be a summer graduate. that'll be boring isn't it? i passed all my subjects 4 sems back, i should know the formula by now huh. i dunno but partlex and i will be using the same stuff that we did 4 sems ago, we call it, "Ang Sekreto Sa Pag Eskwela". hehehe. just for fun but yeah, the secret is not really a secret at all. it's more of a technique, the zero absences technique. yeah yeah, it may not be too convincing for you but it really works.
watch me.

mindless all the way
i woke up today at 11am. i immediately got up and see the much awaited game between the pistons and the heat. when i turned on the tv, all i got are tons of tv shopping from channel 9. oh damn. i rush to turn on the computer to see the results. when i got to nba.com, it posted there that the game is still in progress. shit. i kept on refreshing the page until i got a text message from tere. with a line, "daug ang mga hambogero!!!" i knew it was the pistons who will go to the finals. aaah, two of my teams are now in the finals. who will i pick? i still don't know. the tight defense of detroit is still their key for victory and it will be tough for the spurs. but remember that the spurs is in the top 5 most defensive team in the nba. so they're kinda like, equal in that part but the pistons will have the advantage still. here comes the detroit backourt. hamilton and billups are so fluent in their offensive play but so are parker and ginobili. indside game will be between sheed and timmy, they will be dominating the offense in the paint. i just don't know who to pick but i'd like to see duncan wins another championship. i just like his attitude. he's called the gentleman, remember? another reason why i want to see them win is manu ginobili!
after knowing who won the game, i got a message from vior telling me that we will now go to drex's cellshop. when we got there, he wasn't around, so we were off to his place, still no sign of him. we were off to bawing's place and when we got there, he was already drinking tanduay with his buddies. that was 12:30pm and he handed us the glass but we declined, our stomachs were as empty as our pockets. so after talking and some planning for a night out, we went to some carenderia just down the street. we wanted to eat some lansiao but the menu for the day was balbacua. so we had balbacua for lunch. after the good lunch courtesy by vior, we were off to E-mall to look for some styropor. now, when we got there, we decided to use the comfort room. when we were already in the comfort room section, i went straight to that open door, walking mindless all the way, vior yelled, "hoi!" then i snapped out and i realize that i was in the ladies room! shit! no wonder them women were looking surprised. i immediately turned around and smirked at vior. we were just laughing about it. that is why i advice you my dear readers that you should not sleep late and have at least 8 hours of it. inside the E-Mall, we didn't see a school supplies department, so we decided to go to the Metro. on our way to the metro, we took a shortcut, we went inside UC main campus. vior was hesitant because we were only wearing house shirts, shorts, and sleepers. i told him, "skuyla man gani ko aning pormaha" yeah, during summer school, i only wear pang orans. hehehehe.
when we got inside the campus, vior asked where naner was working, i showed him to the EDP section and there was naner. i waived at him and when he saw me and vior, he was all smiles and stuff. he went to our window and asked why vior was there. vior said, "pa enrol kog criminology, nya gara-gara dayun dri." hehehe.
so we were on our way to the Metro when vior kicked something on the ground, "gatos ba ah!" i quickly check if it was a real currency or not, to my reflexes, i immediately bend down and picked it up. my hands were so fast to put it inside my pocket and continued walking. after a few steps, i checked if it was indeed a real 100 pesos. it was. :)
after buying the styropor, we went back to E-Mall since vior's car was parked there. when we got to the parking lot, there was a bulletin board with a "Hall Of Fame" lettering above it. it was the shoplifters that was caught. hehehe. it was funny cuz they were all smiling and all.
when we arrive back in jamestown, bobby immediately asked me to install gunbound in his PC. so i did and after that, i went straight to my room and took a nap.
i have downloaded 5 nirvana songs already. i want to complete all the acoustic ones. so damn nice to hear kurt's voice again. oca just got out from the house, he was here to buy chips and sparkle. anyways, tere is out for her interview at Target. i wish her luck and i hope she will land that job and the Bank Of America too. i think imma go play gunbound after this.
skyflakes, anyone?
