Playlist
Nitong nakaraang Linggo ng gabi lang...
Mga ilang minuto matapos ang ikawalo ng gabi, pinatugtog kong muli ang aking paboritong cd player. Kakatapos ko lang manood ng Rated K at Survivor : Vanuatu nun. Ganun naman lagi ang routine ko pag Linggo ng gabi. Pagkatapos manood ng tv e bukas agad ng radyo o pakinggan ang alinmang cd na mapag-tripan ko.
Sige. Nagsimula ng umikot ang cd ng true faith. Nagsimula na ring umikot ang mundo ko habang nakaupo sa may pintuan sa harap ng bahay namin...
Tamad na tamad talaga ko pag ganitong araw. Mabagal masyado. Kay tagal lumipas ng kada segundo.
Pinakapaborito kong parte ng bahay namin yung pwesto na yun.. yung uupo lang ako dun sa may pintuan habang kumakain minsan ng kornik o umiinom ng sofdrinks.. papakin man ako ng mga lamok, di ko alintana. Marahil may ugnayan ang dilim ng gabi sa gising kong isipan kapag ganitong gabi. Mas seryoso ko mag-isip. Malayung-malayo sa tahimik pero makulit at mahilig na mang-asar na ako tuwing kasama ko ang malalapit sakin. "Everybody needs sometime alone, " ika nga nila. Yun bang oras na nakalaan para sa sarili mo lamang. Tama nga naman.
Unang sumaliw ang himig na "Alaala". Sa pagsapit ng dilim... ang buwan at mga bituin... Sa pagpukaw ng umaga.. sinag ng araw ay kakaiba.. Bakit nga ba ikaw ang nasa aking alaala?.. *singing*
Magkunwari man ang iba, may lalim talaga ang iniisip ng lahat lalo pa't ikaw nag-iisa lamang at walang kausap. Sa gantong mga panahon ay bigla na lamang tayo nakakaisip ng mga seryosong bagay. O, sige. Ako na lang pala. Masyado kong nag-iisip kapag dumating ang ganitong mga pagkakataon. Syempre, meron pa din akong gusto.. meron pa din akong pinoproblema.. meron pa din akong pinapangarap.. may binabalak.. may inihahalintulad.. meron pa din naman akong nami-miss ( uyyy.. ano na naman ba ito? haha )
Sa oras ng 'yong pangangailangan.. sa oras ng 'yong kalungkutan.. gawin mo akong sandalan.. 'Yan nga pala yung track # 2 sa cd na pinakinggan ko.
Natanong mo na ba ang sarili mo kung bakit kahit wala kang ginagawa at nagpapahinga ka e parang may ginagawa ka pa rin kasi nag-iisip ka? Hindi? Pwes ako, oo. Kahit naman sa pagtulog 'no. Kaya ako nananaginip e kasi umaandar pa din ang utak ko. Naglalakbay ba. May toyo na kung may toyo. Nag-iisip lang ako.
Huwag na lang kaya *sipol* . 'Yan ang track # 3..
Nung gabing yun, wala nang gaganda pa sa aking tinatanaw. Nakatingala ako sa langit. Di ko man nakita ang mga ulap dahil saklob na ng dilim ang oras na yun, andyan naman ang mga bituin na kumukutikutitap, bumubusibusilak (ok, Pasko na). Pwera biro. Ayos silang pagmasdan nun. Ang dami nila. Sinubok ko ngang maghanap ng Big Dipper, Milky Way, basta yung mga constellation ngunit di ako nagtagumpay. Maniha lang siguro ko dun. Ang buwan naman ay pasulpot-sulpot dahil nahahawi ang ulap ng hangin.. hanging kay lamig sa pandama na habang umiihip ay tila humahalik saking pisngi.. halik na sana ay galing sa kanya.. yung tipong flying kiss tas hinipan nya kaya pakiramdam ko e may humalik nga sakin..haha
Teka. Sa iyong palagay, ilang mga bituin na kaya ang hiningan natin ng mga wish at ilan sa kanila ang tumupad? Wag na nga natin agawan ng trabaho ang mga astrologists at mga manghuhula sa Quiapo.
Fast forward tayo. Track # 12 : Muntik nang maabot ang langit.. at mahagkan ka saking mga kamay.. karapat-dapat nga bang mapasaakin?
Sa naaalala ko ay may kumagat na saking lamok ng mga oras na 'to.. haha. Swerte nun a. Type A ang natikman nya.. hehe
Kidding aside, makabuluhan naman ang mga inisip ko ng gabing iyon. Mas mainam mag-isip sa tahimik kesa sa magulo at maingay na lugar. Payapa din naman ang loob ko nun kaya ayos sa alright.
Sa kanyang mga ngiti, ako'y sumusuko.. Naisip ko lang. Ako kaya? May humihinto kaya ang mundo pag nakikita ko? May tao kayang gustung-gusto ko makita? Meron kayang isang sulyap lang sakin ay busog na sya? May tao kayang may "hots" sakin?.. Ok. Wag na tayong magpaliguy-ligoy pa. May nagnanasa kaya sakin? Mmm, parang ang pangit pakinggan ng sinambit ko a. I-revise natin. Meron kaya na may crush sakin? Parang gusto kong kilabutan sa statement ko na 'to a. Haha. Magba-blush na nga lang ako. Uuyyy. Seryoso nga. Naisip ko lang po yan. Walang halong malisya.
***palit ng cd.. eraserheads anthology.. disc 1.. volume level 4***
Ligaya
Pare Ko
Minsan
Kailan
With A Smile
Huwag Mo Nang Itanong
Sa totoo lang, mas ok yung disc 1 sa disc 2 nila. Kasi halos mga English na kanta ang nasa disc 2. Di pa naman ako bihasa sa banyagang salita. Haha.
'Yan lang ang mga kantang pinatugtog ko nun. Mahilig kasi ko sa kanta na napapag-isip ako. O, kitam. E di inamin ko din na mahilig ako mag-isip. Actually, mapakahit anong bagay man. Kahit tula, kanta (yun na nga), sitwasyon, kwento.. basta mapapag-isip ako tas sa bandang huli ay mapapa- "Oo nga ano.." ako. Yung tipong di-obvious at sa kasimplehan e nalimot na natin o binalewala na lang. Patok sakin ang mga bagay na ganyan.
Di naman ako nagmamarunong. May mga bagay din ako na di nage-gets agad agad. Yung tipong "it takes time before I get it" na tema. Syempre, alam mo na. Minsan di ko napupukpok o nalalangisan ang ulo ko. Joke.
Sa pagpapatuloy, kumportable naman ang aking pagkakaupo sa sahig ng aming bahay habang nakasandal ako sa may bisagra ng aming pintuan. Bawat isang kurap. Bawat isang langhap sa hangin. Bawat isang kunot ng noo.. naintidihan ko na nga ang kung anu-anong naiisip ko. Mainam na din yun. At least, gumagana talaga utak ko.
Masaya din na mag-isa kasi dun mo maiintindihan ang sarili mo. Dun mo makikita ang mga bagay na nangyari na sayo. Parang flashback. Yung parang movie trailer. Isa-isang umuusad sa kalangitan. Habang di mo namamalayan na may sampung segundo ka na palang di na-e-exhale. Mapapabuntong hingina ka na lang. Tas ngiti ang kasunod.
Hayy.. dinalaw na rin ako ng antok nun. Pinatay ko na yata yung player mga bandang alas diyes y medya. Eh, malimit na ang oras ng pagtulog ko, e mga bandang alas dose. Kaya nanood muna ko ng tv nun.
Pag may bago kasi kong cd e nagagasgas sa kakapatugtog ko yun. Di naman yan drama. Malimit kasi na sa gabi ako nakakapag-isip ng mga bagay na seryoso. Ewan ko kung ano meron sa gabi. 'Yan din ang paborito kong parte ng araw. Karaniwan kasi, pag nagpapatugtog ako ng cd e nakaupo lang ako, o kaya pag naglilinis ng bahay, o kaya pag may kinukutingting. Kaya pag wala akong ginagawa habang nakikinig e parang meron na din akong ginagawa kasi nga nag-iisip ako.
Masarap namang mag-isip. Masarap din makinig ng music. Sige. Try mo. Isipin mo ko. O, di ba? Anong sarap. Para kong musika sayong gunita. Haha.
Ngiti naman dyan. Pinatatawa lang kita. Masyadong seryoso ang buhay para seryosohin 'no.

My Friend
Boots Doliente
My friend I hate to do it
but for friendship I should
the times we were together
have faded to the past.
I knew it would happen
that the friendship was bound to end
although I knew you care.
Please don't try to argue
but try to understand,
that time could change two people
as the tide changes the sand.
Our friendship was something to cherish
but it has to end
and now I look at you in a different way
for I have fallen in love with you...
...my friend.
********************
High school pa lang, tinatago ko na yung kopya ng tula na 'to. Mababaw lang kasi. Madali lang intindihin. Halos lahat napagdadaanan ang stage na 'to. Eto ko ngayon. Di ko akalain na ako pa pala ang tatamaan netong tula na akala ko e masisiksik lang sa folder ko kasama ng iba . Tsk. Tsk. Ano ba nangyayari sakin?
********************
Ewan ko ba. O, di ba gulung-gulo ko ngayon? Sabado pa 'to ng madaling araw no. Tas dumaan ang Linggo, Lunes..tas Martes na ngayon. Eto pa rin iniisip ko. Hayyy...
Puro "ewan ko" na lang laman ng isip ko ngayon. Gulung-gulo talaga. Di ako pwedeng ma-in love sa isang kaibigan. Itinatak ko na yan sa isip ko. Two years na din ata kami 'no. Alam ko na di ako tatagal kung sakaling maging kami. Pero kahit ano gawin ko.. mag-busy-busy-han..kumain..manood ng tv..kahit pumikit.. matigil lang ng isang segundo sa ginagawa ko, sya pumapasok sa isip ko.
Sabi nila pag yun na daw e may "spark" tas minsan may parang "kuryente" kang mararamdaman. Nung Sabado e wala namang spark. Pero yung kuryente, meron. Ewan ko. Iba yung kaba ko nung Sabado. Ang dami ko lang tanong na wala akong lakas ng loob itanong nun. Di ko naman kasi in-expect na aabot sa ganito kami.
Putek. Sa totoo lang, di ako mapakali. Kahit nalilibang ako, malingat lang ako sandali, yun na naman iniisip ko.
Palagay ko naman e naghihintay lang din yun kung may itatanong ako sa kanya o ano. Parang naghihintay lang din sakin kung may sasabihin ako.
Sana lang di nya mabasa 'to. Peace tayo a. Ikaw kasi e. Di ka ba napapagod cos you keep on running in my mind. Nampucha. Baduy a!
O, sige. Kiss mo na lang ako... seryoso.

Thursday, November 18, 2004
Everything were sent to me via email. I asked a friend, who is in med school, if sleepeless nights would affect, you know. I was a nocturnal creature for nine straight months. I got scared when the guidance counselor of my school told me that working on a night shift could affect my sperm cells motility (She was not infavor of me dropping my three subjects for a job in a call center).. So here, just wanna share some info :)
Testosterone: The Master Male Hormone - Suppose someone told you there was a magical substance that could increase your sex drive, strengthen your bones and muscles, decrease your body fat, improve your thinking ability, boost your energy levels, and guard against the onset of depression and heart disease as you age. You might be skeptical. Or you might be tempted to go out and buy a whole truckload of it. In reality, these effects are all a real possibility. And they are made possible by a substance that is naturally produced by your own body—the male sex hormone testosterone.
What is Testosterone? It’s a powerful anabolic hormone that stimulates and controls the development of muscle, bone, skin, sex organs, and most other masculine, physical features. Recently, scientists have discovered that testosterone also aids mental function, enhancing both visual and perceptual skills. Male, testosterone is produced in the testes by a group of cells known as the Leydig cells. These cells begin secreting high doses of testosterone during puberty to trigger increased lean muscle mass, sex organ development, bone formation and higher energy levels. Testosterone levels peak during a man's early to mid twenties.
As a man ages, the amount of testosterone produced by the Leydig cells decreases. By the age of sixty, the average man will have lost nearly 50% of his testosterone supply. In addition, other factors (such as stress, lack of sleep, physical inactivity, the use of prescription medication and drinking) can cause testosterone levels to drastically decline. Although there is a growing awareness of the vital role testosterone plays in a man’s overall health, the vast majority of men still don't recognize the key symptoms of testosterone deficiency. These symptoms include depression, fatigue, low sex drive, irritability, loss of facial/body hair, thinning and/or wrinkling of skin, weight gain, and the weakening of both bone and muscle tissue. Eventually, imbalances of testosterone can set the stage for the development of more serious disease. Low testosterone levels can also disrupt the body's blood sugar metabolism, leading to obesity and diabetes. Chronic deficiencies may also promote the early onset of osteoporosis and heart disease.
Can low testosterone affect your sex life? Yes! Since ancient times men have searched for ways to increase their virility. Today, there are many popular medications that improve the physical factors (such as circulation) needed to sustain an erection. Yet many men do not realize that none of these medicines are long-term solutions, as they simply cannot play substitute for testosterone. Testosterone is, in a sense, your body's own natural aphrodisiac.
The Stress Hormones: Cortisol and DHEA - Your body responds to stress by producing increased amounts of cortisol and DHEA, hormones that minimize the negative, physiologic effects of stress. Because the body was designed to manage acute, life-threatening stress, it is not well equipped to handle the more constant on-going stress with life in the modern world.
Because of this, the body can easily become overwhelmed and incapable of producing adequate supplies of cortisol and DHEA. The end result? Stress hormone imbalance, which can lean to fatigue, insomnia and loss of libido. Chronic stress and stress hormone imbalance can also cause low testosterone, mood changes, depression, anxiety, poor immune response, cancer, cardiovascular disease, pre-mature aging and auto-immune disorders (such as lupus, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome).
Cortisol: Important for protecting the body in times of stress - Cortisol is an important steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands. Without proper cortisol levels, meeting life’s daily challenges would be difficult. While short-term elevations of cortisol represent a normal adaptive response to life-threatening situations, injury and/or illness, prolonged cortisol elevations are extremely unhealthy and harmful. Chronically-high cortisol levels have been linked to depression, osteoporosis, obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
DHEA: An important building block - DHEA is the most abundant steroid hormone found in the human body, and it has long been identified as an important building block (precursor) for testosterone. Over the past 10 years, however, research has also confirmed that DHEA performs many other important functions. The most critical of these? Aiding the body in adapting to and coping with stress. Low levels of DHEA have been associated with poor immune function, depression, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimers disease, hypothyroidism, and diabetes.
Hormonal Balancing: Tying it all together - Whether your goals are to maximize your athletic performance or simply optimize your overall level of health, an adequate balance of both the anabolic (testosterone and DHEA) and catabolic (cortisol and estrogen) hormones is key. The terms "anabolic" and "catabolic" refer to the specific effect that these hormones have on the growth, maintenance and repair of cells inside your body. Anabolic hormone levels reach their peak during a man’s twenties and decrease with age. These powerful hormones are essential for healthy muscle growth, tissue repair, immune response and metabolism. (Click here for further information in regards to dietary supplements specifically for pre and post recovery workouts) Catabolic hormones have just the opposite effect. They promote muscle and tissue breakdown, decreased immunity and reduced metabolism. Catabolic hormones increase with age, stress, and illness. Optimal health is a state characterized by a high ratio of anabolic to catabolic hormones. Only through comprehensive hormonal testing of testosterone, DHEA, estrogen and cortisol can this important ratio be assessed. Testosterone and DHEA levels should be in the high normal range. Levels of estrogen and cortisol should be in the low normal range. Comprehensive hormonal testing can be a useful tool in providing insights into the cause of low testosterone. High estrogen may be at the root of the problem inhibiting testosterone production. And stress may be the culprit when low DHEA and/or abnormal cortisol levels are observed.

Let us just call this a primer on sex therapy.
1. Healthy sex is not just getting orgasm between man and woman or between mates. There must be an exchange of essences or fluids between lovers. Just as a man should give his semen and his seminal fluid, which is the purest protein in the body, he must also receive the three essences of a woman.
These fluids flow from the following:
- The two ducts under her tongue (accdg. to the Tao of Sex, the man should lick this secretion with his own tongue and swallow it for it is extremely beneficial to health;
- Her breasts, white, milky, tasting, and superior to all three libations, especially if the woman has not yet lactated;
- Her female organ.
These three secretions come only when she is fully aroused, her face red and her voice moaning with passion. Thus, if the man does not carry her to full arousal and ejaculates beforehand, he gives but never receives. He loses his semen and gets nothing in return. This shortens his life.
2. Upon ejaculation, a man depletes precious stores of essence and energy and it would take some time - a minimum of three days - to replenish them. It takes longer to replenish semen than blood lost in a blood donation. So all those men boasting in talk shows about making love five times a day to five different women or even to the same woman are really lying through their teeth or dooming themselves to death. Assuming there are professional studs who can service five women one after another or the same woman in up to the fifth session, they would have lost so much seminal fluid, which is also the cerebrospinal fluid coming from the brain, and such a massive loss would derange the mind. Only human beings and a few apes engage in sexual intercourse without rhyme or reason, all year long, day and night, in any season or weather. Even lower forms of animals have better instincts. Experts in sex choose the woman of good essence, healthy and young even after midlife, and makes love regularly with her based on the needs of the body and time. Preferably,according to sex adepts, it should be done at 10 to 12 midnight, when the moon is waxing and never when the moon is waning, also preferably during spring, never in winter and seldom in summer. 3. The female is really like the black widow or praying mantis among the insects. The male praying mantis deposits his seeds. Then promptly the female kills and devours the male as a post-coital snack! - if a man knows how and when to make love, the better becomes his health. While if the man is ignorant and careless, just one woman, one mistress, or one prostitute is sufficient to hasten his journey to the grave. 4. For health purposes, a robust 20-year-old male may ejaculate twice daily. A 30-year-old should do it once every two days. A 40-year-old may do so only once every four days. A 50-year- old should do it only once every ten days. A 60- year-old may emit once every 10 days but prudence requires that he should do it only once every 20 days. At 70, he can emit once a month, but then again, it is advisable for him to refrain from emitting semen at all. - artists and athletes rely on the optimum levels of physical and mental vitality in their work. Thus, they are more sensitive to the loss of semen and vital energy through uncontrolled ejaculation, which makes them more prudent in their bedroom arts. They should not ejaculate before a sports event or an artistic endeavor. 5. If the tendency of a man is to sleep after making love, it is a prime indicator of complete exhaustion. It is not orgasm, but the physical ejection of semen that harms man. Incidentally, orgasm never harms a woman. Man should therefore learn to make love, without ejecting semen or the technique of semen retention, or without ejecting much or all of his semen. He should know how to retain enough for his own good health, vigor and strength. When semen is retained, it goes back to the cerebrospinal fluid and nourishes the brain. Post-coital blues or depression does not occur when a man retains enough semen. 6. Ejaculation is strictly forbidden when a man is drunk, sick or gorged with food. And yet now many men insist on doing so. Such injure a man a hundred times over, causing dizziness and sores. Men who ejaculate at the rate of more than once a day may eventually lose their minds, since 20 percent of male semen is composed of cerebrospinal fluid. It causes chronic drain of the vital fluids that the brain and spine require to function properly. Deficiency in cerebrospinal fluid results in premature senility, inability to concentrate, chronic depression, loss of sexual drive, loss of the trace element called zinc and therefore loss of memory, mental confusion, paranoia and hypersensitivity. 7. Masturbation is an irretrievable and uncompensated loss of semen essence. Healthy males between 16 and 21 are fountains of semen. Loss of semen in self stimulation or wet dreams are relatively harmless at that age. But by the age of 25, there will be weakness in the thighs and knees, numbness in the lumbar region, loss of vitality, and depression. By age 30, men should give up this self-destructive habit and start conserving semen. Men who habitually abuse themselves in their 30s, 40s and 50s rob themselves of the very essence and energy that fuel their lives and protect their health. 8. Homosexual relations is relatively harmless to women but highly detrimental to men, both physiologically and psychologically. Two passive female forces do not conflict. But two active male forces result in a fundamental conflict of energies. The necessary exchange of essences between male and female is absent there. In medical research, when sperm from two different men are mixed together and observed under a microscope, they are observed fighting one another in a desperate struggle for supremacy. At least both ancient books on sex and modern medical research agree on this, without going into moral issues. The end result of such physiological exchange is weakness, fatigue skin ulcers, boils, low immunity, and impotence. 9. It is important for lovers to breathe each other's breath and exchange bio-energy during foreplay. But one should not breathe in the other's mouth during orgasm for it is full of waste and toxins. On the other hand, there is a profound physiological and electrical outburst of energy that partners can absorb radiating from maximum surface skin contact. The bio-energy comes from the skin of a woman in heat. Good sexual energy goes inward and upward and should not be lost downward through the organs. This energy can be felt coursing up along the spine as goose bumps or heat waves. 10. The essential elements of good, healthy sex is balance, harmony, and the union of opposites. Making love can nourish and preserve precious vital essence, cure ailments and promote longlife. To conclude, the art of the bedroom consists in suppressing emission, absorbing a woman's fluids, and making the semen return to strengthen the brain, therefore, attaining longevity. Man must learn how to treasure and preserve the semen and maintain high levels of testosterone, sperm, and other male essence. Sex is for good health and social peace. It should not be motivated merely by physical beauty or romantic love. Even Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung argued that most crimes and anti-social or asocial behavior can be traced back to dysfunctional sex. Men and women, therefore, who are adept in the bedroom arts, contribute to social order and even world peace, as they promote good health and happiness. "If you like breaking the rules and generally don't follow them... don't make it hard for those who do." ****************** "And if you never have sex, you never gain a sense of power. You never gain a voice or an identity of your own. Sex is the act that separates us from our parents. Children from adults. It's by having sex that adolescents first rebel." -------------posted by a friend on friendster's bulletin months back

Hair Ye! Hair Ye!
It was still my day off yesterday. But what I planned two weeks ago still pushed through. I told myself that I was going to get my hair done.
To SM West, I headed.
Since childhood, I was a loyal customer of St. Nino Barbershop located in the busy area of our town. Things changed when I was in college where I get to style my hair... as in style. I used to sport clean cut, barber's cut hair. When I learned the wonders of what styling gels and creams can do, that changed the story. There was a time when I grew my hair few inches below my nape then I would put cream to get that wet look appeal. After I got tired of it, I asked my brother to shave it almost an inch from my scalp for a spiky and punk look. I got bored again, so I grew it back.. Another boredom, another cut.
So yesterday, I tried bench fix salon for a change since the guy from David's Espana, who used to cut my hair, went somewhere else.
I just asked them that I'd be having a haircut. The usual thing for newbies.. fill up a paper with your info. I waited for around 5 minutes. Then, an attendant brought to to where I should sit..waited for my turn to get fixed.
This stylist approached me and asked what I wanted with my hair. I said, "trimming." He touched my hair and said, "Sir, gusto nyong i-treatment para matanggal yung gaspang." Yep. I admit. My hair just looks nice from afar and in pictures. He mentioned lots of hair treatments which I didn't understand.
I just agreed to get one. (I won't just mention it). His assistant washed my hair. I went back to my seat. His assistant went back to me and applied this cream which looked like mayonnaise..haha! I was observing how he put that fluid on my hair. The "paint brush" added the weirdness I felt. He put a blue headband on me. Then, this big steamer. I was smiling all the time beacuse that was something new to me.. another first..hehe..
Then, I had my hair done.. still long. I think I would still stick with this look til I get tired again.
But the service was fine, the outcome of my hair and customer service.
I just wish these waves on my hair would finally straighten. (yeah right)
Oh well, to end that day, I bought a gift for my friend who's about to get married this Nov 30th, a photo album to house the captured memories of my friends (drama king in me again) and bread (cheese pan de sal & belgian waffle) from French Baker.. Before I forget, I also added a 9 W bulb for my study lamp just in case I change my mind again about this hair. So, I can crash something on my head.

4 = 2 + 6 + 8 - 2
A new mathematical equation? Not.
I could not remember if that's how it was exactly written. But I'm sure it's not just another additon nor subtraction or both.
Whenever I pass by the Cloverleaf Interchange, the area near Camachile and Boni Ave, I get to see this inscription on the wall of a park just right next to the bridge. Quite a number of "illegal settlers" inhabiting the place, if I may add.
Have the kids used the wall as their blackboard whenever they pretend to be real life teachers and students? Or they just posted their kind of math to tell everyone what we're missing?
When I first saw that, there were a few things that crossed my mind:
1 + 1 = magellan
2 + 2 = lapu lapu
one hood + one hood = two hood (tuhod)
one big + one big = two big (tubig)
..old jokes that I used when I was still a kid.. but still using once in awhile.
That was my lighter side. But when my mind works, as in muni-muni, a simple blue crayon on a red-painted fence could mean a thing or two. Vandalism? Sure. Poverty? Perhaps. Responsibility? Depends.
How sad.
In this time and age, I know most of us could still count our change from our friendly neighborhood mamang sorbetero; check the calendar and count the monthly cycle of a woman; look at the stars and count which one already granted our wishes; bow our heads and pray as we count our blesssings.. Let me check if I could do my math...
ikaw at ako equals tayo.. hmmm, not bad.

Lesson # 1
Last Friday, Nov. 05, 2004, I decided to check a pirated copy of "Fahrenheit 9/11" at the nearest sidewalk stall near our building. So, after my shift ended, which was 8pm, I rushed down the elevator. I was also trying to avoid traffic, but that's another story.
I was contemplating if I would ask the lady, who was selling her "goods" , about the vcd that I wanted or just look at all the vcds scattered on a small sheath of carton. I'm a shy boy, you know. :D
I stood in front of the vendors, one was a lady; the other was a man. I was supposed to ask her if they have the vcd I was looking for. The lady tapped the shoulder of the guy who's seated right next to her and said, "X.. X.. bigyan mo ng X..."
The man asked me, "Sir, X?"
I just gave them an innocent smile then said, "Meron, kayong Fahrenheit 9/11?"
Both of them gave me a shy smile and answered, "Wala na po, eh."
I turned my back and walked towards EDSA so I could go straight home.
*******
X? 'Tong tino kong 'to? :devious:
Ang pipol nga naman ngayon.. ambelibabol :rolleyes: :lol:

Dinner at Gerry's Grill, Tomas Morato; Oct 30, 2004
This is a little overdue. But I know I have to write something about this nightout anyway. So, read on.
It was a Saturday when my college freinds and I decided to meet up for a dinner. I was the one who suggested the date. One of my good buddies, Ronald, mentioned a few restaurants along the Morato area where our group could eat. He mentioned Gerry's and I instantly told him that would be the place. We decided to meet up at 9 pm.
Our original plan was to go to Batangas since it was the semestral break of almost all of my friends. Most of them are back in school taking up medicine, graduate studies and a second degree, by the way. Since my schedule would not fit any out-of-town adventure, I just asked them to meet up at night time then get our stomach full.
I met up with Joms, together with his girlfriend Dyna, at the activity center of Glorietta mall. Taking the MRT would be the fastest solution so we could get there on time since it was almost 9 pm and we were still inside the mall. Took a taxi later after we left the Quezon Ave station. Kookai, accompanied by his current boyfriend Jason, was seated beside Ronald. Ronald came second after the couple. We exchanged hi's and hello's.. shared some laughter.. asked who's still coming..
The six of us agreed to fix our orders first. Then just add some more when others arrive. I remember mine was a green mango shake, kinilaw na tanigue with liempo, chopsuey. Joms tried seafood rice, adobong seafood rice and baked tahong. Kookai chose sinigang and inihaw na pusit. It was garlic fried chicken for Ronald. All came in generous servings.
Afterwards, Jason, Chiela, JC and Otep arrived. It was drizzling that time. They thought they were still waiting for John, who by the way, wasn't able to make it because of fever. Ok, blame it on John. He was the one who asked me to convince everyone. Then, according to him, he got sick.
..more laughter ..more stories ..pictures this time.
We had additional orders to suit our tastes buds. I just couldn't recall what we had after the rest arrived.
To a videoke bar, we headed. We were supposed to sing our hearts out at Music 21. But the place couldn't occupy additional hotties that time. haha. We just crossed the street and we landed to this not-so-good place. Mmm, how did JC dicovered that videoke bar? We took a pitcher of margarita since we got ladies in the house. Ronald sang "Stay The Same" . Dyna belted a love song nicely while JC rocked the house with "Unwell" . Ok. I was a bit exaggerating. It was a good thing, though that Kookai and his beau decided not stay. I just didn't like the place. Plus I mistakenly thought that the waitress was a he. She was supposed to be a creepy vampire because the theme of the bar was halloween. Oh, did I mention that the music was irritating to the ear. I don't want to go back to that place.
Alright, enough of the ranting.
Jason was so nice to take me, Joms and Dyna to our respective bus and fx terminals. He was suppose to drive Chiela home first. I reached home past 2 am.
My college friends. I just can't describe how much they mean to me. I was just so, so happy that night. After a year, there we were celebrating friendship. We now have different goals, ambitons and "life" so to speak.
But it's the bond that make us stick with each other. Whenever we have time, we never fail to cheer each other up. Too bad we're done as classmates. I miss everyone.
Trivia : I cried really hard during our baccalaureatte mass last march 2002. Probably, I was sad to leave school and my classmates and friends.
But there's always next time. So, watch out.
Ronald, Arnold, Kookai, Jason, Dyna, Joms, Chiela and Jason
Now with JC and Otep
Arnold and Kookai.. bend your head to the right for a better view
teka lang a.. nasabi ko ba na ito ang kauna-unahan kong gimik sa morato?

Handwriting Analysis
Arnold exaggerates about everything that has a physical nature. Although he may not intend to deceive or mislead, he blows things way out of proportion because that is the way he views them. He will be a good story teller. This exaggeration relates to all areas of his material world. Arnold allows many people into his life because he is accepting and trusting. He is sometimes called gullible by his friends. That only really means that he trusts too many people. Arnold has a vivid imagination.
Arnold has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. He lets new people into his circle of friends. He uses his imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.
Arnold is selective when picking friends. He does not trust everyone. He has a select group of people that are truly close to him, usually two or three. He is careful when choosing his inner circle of friends.
Arnold is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect his ego when he feels hurt. He pokes people harder than he gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
Arnold is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. He needs to visualize the end of a project before he starts. he finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said he plans everything he is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Arnold basically feels good about himself. He has a positive self-esteem which contributes to his success. He feels he has the ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to. However, he sets his goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". He has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, he will not take great risks, as they relate to his goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, his self-perception is better than average.
In reference to Arnold's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Arnold slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project. He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Arnold can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Arnold is secretive. He has secrets which he does not wish to share with others. He intentionally conceals things about himself. He has a private side that he intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in his past.
Arnold is sensitive to criticism about his ideas and philosophies. He will sometimes worry what people will think if he tells them what he believes in. This doesn't mean he won't talk, or that he feels ashamed. It merely means he is sensitive to what others think, regarding his beliefs.
Arnold is moderately outgoing. His emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, he can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. He has the ability to put himself into the other person's shoes. Arnold will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes he will be happy, the next day he might be sad. He has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because he is in between. Psychology calls Arnold an ambivert. He understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, he will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." He doesn't sway too far one way or the other. When convincing him to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to him. He puts himself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet he will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Arnold is an expressive person. He outwardly shows his emotions. He may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story. Arnold is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. He weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when he finally has to. He basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.
Arnold tends to write a bit smaller than the average person. When a person's letters are small and tiny, this indicates an ability to focus and concentrate. This character trait is a huge asset in careers like math, science, race car driving, and flying planes. However, if Arnold writes tiny all of the time, he will also display characteristics of someone who is socially introverted. Arnold will often sit on the sideline and watch others get the attention at parties. he might be willing to open up and be warm, but only in small groups or a select group of people. When he is busy working on a project, it is common for all other noises and distractions to just fade away and his ability to focus is incredible. When he says he didn't hear you... really, he didn't hear you.
Arnold has a desire for attention. People around Arnold will notice this need. He may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on his own character.

Ok, that was the forcast.. But when I was still in college, one of my professors asked us to print our name on a paper and sign beside it to take our attendance. Then, out of nowhere, he asked us if we wanted him to interpret the meaning of our signature.
Out of curiosity, we stood infront of the platform taking turns for our "signature interpretation" . Finally, it was my time. Dr. Rotor, one of my favorite professors, told me what I thought my ordinary-looking signature has for me. He uttered the succeeding statement :
"Dahil sa malaking pabilog sa ibabaw ng signature mo, ibig sabihin nun friendly ka...tapos itong part na to (pointing at middle portion of my sig) e ibig sabihin madaming opportunities ang dumadating at dadating sayo kaso pinapalampas mo kasi may takot ka na subukan.."
Up to now, I still think about it. Until I got to take this handwriting analysis.
How come that he, my professor, and even this certain website read me as an individual?
Oh well, can i just spell FATE?
