July 01 changesit's one forty five am.. make that one twenty five am.. am i getting blind or what hehe..
too quiet here at the office. it seems everyone is at the other wing. dishwalla blaring on my cheapo headset (lacks treble, though i still love it (keeps me warm hehe)). as is it everyday, we are fuckin' freezing our bones off here.. shiver shiver..
a moment ago, i was contemplating on creating a new space for me (i have actually more than contemplated as i have already opened it). then i started reading some of my previous posts and visited some of my friends' (and bygone friends') blogs and it kinda made me sad. so much time has passed by.
i'm torn if i should really move on and create a new one. what for, right? it's all here... well except for my first space (which is probably now in cyberspace wasteland - it got deleted..), i kinda like this red and black (and yellow space). it's been ages since i last visited this one..
well anyways, i have already half created the shell for my new space. i just don't know if words will flow like it once did here.
for those with nothing better to do, here it is:
punked-sinatras.spaces.live.com
we'll see..
we'll see.. (and the sloth in me just copy+pasted the last two words and periods.)
hell. hehe
December 18 back to the old househa!!
i'm back!!
though i'm not pretty sure if anybody missed visiting my space and seeing all these weird writings hehe...
finally, our office is upgrading our computers and i can finally visit my blog and write about stuff and post some pictures without stalling my computer hehe.. finally!! the long awaited upgrade is here..
a lot has happened since i last posted here.. colleagues are leaving, books have been read, cd's have been bought, christmas gifts too. parties had passed, new ipods released (to my disappointment, since it is much much cheaper than my 60gb iPod.. huhu..
anyways, i missed writing. i'm glad to be back. really!! i missed visiting blogs and posting annoying comments on em hhehe..
hope fellow winlive officemates would be back to their spaces too!
that's it for now i guess, i'll be visiting some long lost spacers and posting some comments for now.
ciao!!
October 05 an avalanche of records after accidentally finding out about a cd sale in oddysey record bars, my purchases seems to
be snowballing into one huge avalance...
                 i bought twenty three pieces of circular plastics in a month. this is not healthy is it. September 29 yesterday's news i am at the 21st floor of our office. the lights are flickering on and off. the wind
whips our floor to ceiling glass window. "can
you feel that?" one of my officemates asks.
the building is shaking.
it's millennium's time to rattle the metro.
before going to work, it was announced that
the storm millennium [millenio in our native
tounge] would be passing by manila and was
starred at signal number three.
the storm peaked at around 11am and raged
for about two hours.
trees were uprooted [lessening the already depleted greens in the metro], billboards and tin roofs flew and smashed buses, floods rose and choked up the streets, and finally, the power went down. the whole metro blacked out.
the train was out, people are stranded on the streets.
ever saw the movie twelve monkeys?
that was what it was like. darkness everywhere. like the city has been abandoned. i was expecting wild animals to pop right out of the next street corner.
most of the city still has no power. class is still suspended for students. government workers don't have to go to work. but poor me, being bill gate's slave, i still have to go and work.
September 14 most strange...the strangest thing happened to me today.
t'was a bright and sunny morning.. i was on my way to work, minding my own business and waiting for a bus that's not overflowing with people...
as i was about to board one [a bus that's about half full], a guy grabbed one of my ipod earphone [the right one] and asked me in a quite indignant tone if i have an extra car wheel.
do i have an extra car wheel?
well, do i have one?! i don't even have a car dammit!!!
September 05 'milnuebesientosnobentai've been transported back to the nineties lately, so here's an entry for my high school daze..
these are the music that defined that decade for me:
my nineties rock album[s]
   my nineties rap and hiphop
  the definitive nineties compilation [and movie]
 and to top it off, a nineties mixtape for everyone to enjoy. hehe
share the love! put this on your ipod or whatever player you have and spend some time at the decade that was... August 13 the trees sway the spirits have banded together
and
decided to to pour the heavens down
a few seconds and i am drenched
with their outburst
sweet and full of fury
the spirits are stirring up the heaven smoke
a gust and a sweep
wrenched
on a step by the deposit
i was sitting
drag in hand, spirits in lungs
dare you to dance
dare you to prance
be free and run through the gathering storm
August 09 frozen reds thrice once resisted
into the warmth, a freeze of coldness the snow queen, she is i don't care if we sleep all day we could drive in to the malls
or stay home and watch tv i don't care if we don't have lunch just as long as we have iced tea i could take you to a film hunt for books and magazines is that new song out on sale i think that dress is kinda pale - eheads
August 05 windows live your ass!so here it is at last.

July 21 swan songsit's a led zeppelin field trip festival on my ipod luna. i'm currently on the fourth album, seven albums to go!
here's what's on:
    
been a while since i last listened to these albums. i guess i got burned-out before from too much zep hehe. but once you got into it again, it is addicting!
mystic. flamboyant. acid blues. english folkstrums. searing riffs. drugged-up off-synch melodies. immigrant songs. bron-yr-aur feet-stompers.
 screeching banshees from valhalla to the high heavens. robert plant is a god
jimmy page is a god
john bonham is a god
john paul jones is a god
hear the swan sing and wait for the eastern glow.
July 19 dirty soles
July 16 imax! imax! imax!
July 13 the vampire and the savage garden
i am done with the second book of the
vampire chronicles.
i was a bit surprised at how lestat was
portrayed in this installment. i was
expecting him to be something of a self
absorbed, cold and heartless being that
loves no one and cares not for the
beauty of the world.
well.. he was not.
i kinda see the louis in lestat. as i love the character of louis, one who can be amazed by the mere flickering of a flame for hours, one who ponders and ponders the purpose of it all.
lestat is all heart. the damnedest creature. the one who is enthralled by mortals. one who questions not the evilness of his actions. one who sees the savage garden in everything.
i'm glad i tried to re-read this book again, getting past the rockstar chapters and plunging again into the old world of vampire myths. from his magnus his maker, to the wrath and insanity of the boy vampire armand and the children of night, into the mystery of marius and the ones that must be kept.
i was a bit disappointed though that the author tried to explain the origins of the vampires. it kind of lost the magic and mystery of their beings.
stil,l i love this book and i can't wait to read the next one. i think i'm gonna fall in love with akasha the same way i fell for gabrielle. i just love gabrielle, i was entranced by her cold and her mysterious ways.
"It is a new age. It requires a new evil. And I am that new evil. I am the vampire for these times"
- lestat July 10 down on the upsidei was browsing through the photo section of deviantart and i came across this picture:
 i was reminded of my days as a child, pretending to play at the ceiling of our home.
here's how you do it:
lie upside down on the couch [feet up on the sofa's
backrest, head dangling on the edge of the seat].
imagine that the floor is the ceiling. after a few
moments, something will click and there you go!
everything is upside down.
my problem then was how to get to our second floor
as the stairs was no use. the stairwell is just one big
hole to fall into the second floor ceiling.
haha, what fun memories. kids are crazy i tell you.
watch out for the light fixtures when playing, you might step on 'em and die. haha...
July 09 i am none it is sunday and i am bored out of my head.
whatcanidowhatcanido. looking for things do is so damn hard.
i hate my new schedule! it's so.. sunny!!!!
let's see... i need to clean my shoes, organize my cd's for the nth time, change my bedsheet, finish our home plans, buy a new box for my books, buy some new shirts, clean my locker, update my resume, create a not too boring entry and find something worthwhile to do.
goodness. i am bored.
i need to get out of this office. smoke smoke smoke... burn my lungs out.
June 29 eating at mcdonald's at three thirty in the morning
