in 8 hour's time, i'll embark on a journey on a foreign land. my first time out of the country. my first time away from home for such a long time. and half a world away from home, it does get lonely. yeah i'm getting to stay with a good friend of mine for four days, after that i'll be with my relatives, most of them i really don't know. i don't know anyone else there and i'm not sure if my social

ahahaha! after so many years! i have this (again).it's been a while since i've made one of these and maybe i have forgotten how to make flash presentations. years ago back in college, one of these in my reports draw "ooohh"s and "wooow"s from my classmates and add emotion to YFC's events. now, it's subpar, considering flash is prehistoric compared to aftereffects, maya, premier or final cut

no, i'm not gonna talk about stephen hawking and his crazy ideas, which i find very cool, by the way. well, most of those info won't be retained by my already pre-programmed brain.i have this audio book in my ipod, playing while i'm sleeping... at night or during a bus ride towards work or home. somewhat reminds me of all the physics teachers and lectures i've gone through... goes into one ear,

for the whole year round, i was gaga-ing for a 3rd gen (7th for the uber-technical) gaming console: ps3, wii or xbox 360. and finally, this afternoon, i'm was in greenhills and with cash-in-hand (or at least in the ATM), and after months of months and months of choosing which after considering each pros and cons, i was able to decide:i won't get any.sheesh... just shows that one year is enough

there's something in the air that prevents me from enjoying fully the yuletide season. somehow i woke up yesterday convinced that christmas won't come for about a week. streets are dark and not lit by the usual christmas lights. there's only seems one set of kids carolers roaming around the village. somewhat christmas this year doesn't seem to feel christmas at all.well, i'm no scrouge. i long

i've always denied myself of those small stuff... new shirt, new shoes, new pants... we'll i haven't denied myself much on food but somehow those trips to sbarro and shakey's became less and less.i don't know maybe just i tend to spend so much on big things...and this christmas, i wanted to treat myself for a year well done. i've been through alot this year and i guess i need to reward myself

before my mac was my fender

2008-11-08T18:37:00.000+08:00

before all those gadgets and gizmos, my passion back then was playing my guitar. learned playing some before high school, got my electric guitar 10 years ago during my high school days, dreamed playing with a band, on stage since then. had that chance during my college days, once (or twice?) on AS parking lot and once in bahay ng alumni (all courtesy of an org event ). then stashed it deep inside

a perfect girlfriend

2008-10-22T18:49:00.000+08:00

What is a perfect girlfriend? They say there's no such thing as perfection, and that she doesn't exist.Oh trust me darling, SHE DOES.She dresses up all cute and pretty every time you take her out on a date. This is her way of keeping you interested as your eyes are locked solely on her. You stare at other girls instead, and she gets hurt and upset that all her time and effort were put to

a perfect boyfriend

2008-10-22T18:48:00.000+08:00

(repost)Women speak of a perfect boyfriend, they dream of one. They say gentlemen no longer exist, that all facets of this male stereotype are fakers and players. But are there truly no good men left anymore?Believe you, me: It's true, no one is perfect. But there is someone who loves you enough to try his best to be perfect, just for you. He's imperfect, but he'd be your perfect guy.He means

this weekend, i've made transactions in tipidpc twice: for my and my brother's laptop memory upgrade, and a friend's console woes. i can't even remember when was the last time i've made an online transaction thru tpc. well, i think i still got the edge.which got me thinking, i have some few, seldom used gadgets lying around here and needs a new home who'll fully utilize their existence. so, i've

my mac is getting obsolete

2008-10-15T18:09:00.000+08:00

what? a new macbook? huhuhu! just when i've already proclaimed that i won't replace my mac for those micro-mini notebooks at Php 25K, this suddenly came into the market! now this really made my mac ugly :( I've never wanted a macbook air because, just simply, a macbook is better. but suddenly, here's the new macbook, made mine look obsolete.why better? better design - looks like a fat macbook air

2008-10-05T20:13:00.000+08:00

i remember back then that this blog, my blog, was widely read by most of my friends: anticipating a love story in the making. everybody cringe with excitement. everyone's wondering, especially me, how would it end? what's up with the roses and drama and all? what's up with those seemingly anonymous blog entries that exposed all that i am? all the smiles and kilig moments... all the sweet

yey! finally got my mac resurrected!!! we're back in business... well... in a bit. i replaced the hard drive... no more old files, and i have to re-install and download all of those software and apple updates. it's going to take me a whole afternoon for this. but at least my hard drive now is a bit fatter: 160GB compared to the tiny 60GB stock HDD... and now have the chance to cleanup some folder

never been a travelling person. was never envious of the people going from place to place. don't get me wrong i love seeing new places and experiencing new stuff. i'm not a homebody. i just don't like the trip... 15 hours of sitting down, doing absolutely nothing.i do really prefer going to trips with a friend or two. i'll die of boredom. besides, i don't enjoy new things without someone proving

when was the last time i posted my thoughts?

2008-09-19T20:19:00.000+08:00

well, i guess i was out of the circulation for quite some time now. the series of (unfortunate) events kept me from clearing my thoughts and have a debate of wits within me. suddenly i can't access the net anymore. suddenly, i can't get myself to collate my thoughts. suddenly... poof.. i'm already asleep before even brushing my teeth after a meal of shakey's supreme cheese and garlic meal (grabe
