-during the Appendices art exhibit @ Turtle's

happy bday BUDZ!

at kukuk's =)

stupid huh?

as if...

WHAT THE HELL!

another 4 minutes, and i'll be terminated

today, i decided to be absent from work.

as what i've seen fit. because i already have a final written warning due to tardiness.
incurring two instances of being late more than an hour pushed me into this verdict.
and according to our golden company rules and regularization, after the 2nd time around,
then sorry, you'll be gone! as in: pffft!

so now, it's 3:26pm. 4 minutes more and i'll be late again. im still in the middle of my room.
still confused what to wear. plus all those fixing my self up time, then the travel, the traffic,
pushing your self from the crowd and then scanning your security badge on the sensor doors
and finally bump your ass to your chair would tantamount to a helluva of time---so I GAVE UP!

for that i decided to be absent from work because, to tell you honestly and proudly,
i haven't been absent from work for a year now. even if i'm sick; physically, emotionally
or mentally ill, i still wanna go to work, cause my work is easy and it pays the bill.
but today is a different story. Because, if i got late--- i'm gonna be terminated.
but if i got absent, then i'll only receive a verbal warning since this is my first offense.
2nd would lead to written and 3rd would be final written warning tah teh tah tah.

so i rather use this as an ammunition for me NOT TO GET FIRED.. devilish grin, .. ]:-)

now, lemme sit back, relax
and enjoy this self declared holiday!

luv yah! besos.. muah3x

crazy sem break!

i didn't expect that it's gonna be a full house last night. usually clubs get crowded on weekends. but since its semestral break and alcohol thirsty students are f**kin bored, here i am with them---partying!

ang lugar: autoshop resto bar at Mango

Everyone! Log off!

Tonight's definitely a bore.

As usual, I've finished my work within 2 hours, so I got 6 hours to tinker around my desk.
I tried to compose a poem, but my poetic inspiration is totally drained out. I really would love to sketch or paint something (as I haven't done it for ages), but I have no materials and I'm working on a paperless office (as we are implementing this information secured environment) so now, there's only me and my pc. So I did blog hopping instead.

So far, I came across different BlogSpot. And most of them are quite interesting.
Some are well read and most talked about, while others, just like mine, quite placid and personal. So for most of my idle time, I keep on surfing in the ocean of information. I'm quite amused on how the power of internet evolve all over these years. I can still remember I only log in the internet if the school library wasn't open and I need to check my e-mails or need to do some comprehensive paper works.

Eventually, I started to create social networking accounts and personal blog spot. Then came online dating sites. Although quite old fashion in terms of finding a significant other but online dating is quite fast and convenient (and sad to say, usually short lived). So the more activities you can do in the internet, the more you'll get face to face with your monitor. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk..

It's just weird though cause, it makes me think the world can be capped by the palm of your hands. And it would screw you to somebody else's experiences and forget about making your own. But of course, I usually took it as an inspiration but if your ass is being glued to your seat and your fingers nailed on the keyboard (just what's your and my current state right now!) it would somehow makes my life sort of sedentary. Imagine, I'm working with this pc for 8 hours then when I came home, I linger along with my laptop. Darn! Good thing I don't own a TV in my room. Or else, I would become an introvert self contained cyborg.

For that I need to jog, go for a dance, more club hopping , travel, go on random soiree with friends. Trek! Go for a swim, snorkel (hmn, I still don't have a new pair of goggle as my speedo got lost in south china sea) have coffee and smell a decade old paperback novel. Ride an unknown bus towards an unknown town. Talk talk talk.. talk to a real person and minimize chatting online.. hahah! (i'm wondering how many of us are guilty)

Now, I'm missing going outdoors and feel the wind (not the coldness of freezing AC)
With a daiquiri on one hand and somebody else's hand on the other.

I need to log off!

I'm still tired

I'll stop scratching your face

Because it's still the same,

You couldn't be erased

On my mind

A tattoo on my skin

Dark, searing with pain

I'm still tired,

I'll throw away my shovel

I'll stop digging this ground

Where I'll bury our past---

Of which is constantly breathing and would always rise up

I'm still tired

Don't let me run

Because no matter what:

I couldn't catch you,

I couldn't hurt you back,

Couldn't be forgotten,

I can't get even

*translated entry of my early cebuano poem: "gikapoy pa ko"

on finding the perfect shoes and the lemme-borrow-that top

Chai, Russ and I would love to see Lisa Macuja live for the first time



but she's too far away and what we can only see are obscured dancing figures




named as the prima ballerina of the Philippines,
i would love to see more of her, i wanna see her do atleast the basics: the plie and pirouette





but the place is too crowded and we get bored. so we need to drag our butt and do something else. so instead, for the first time in our corporate lives, we went shopping together.



and on that day, chai has something particular in mind: To find herself the perfect pair of shoes!



so we are hoping we can find it here after roaming around a number of boutiques and shoe saloons at the mall. we never knew that looking for a footwear is a pain in the sole as well! then we came up with these finalists.



how about this guys? do u like it?

russ: too girly
chai: nah, totally not me



so how about this pair?

the three of us: PERFECTION!




now russ, Let Me Borrow That Top!

=)




chai: hey guys, lookie..
is this a nice top?



russ: yeah, just pop a pill of seroquel and wash it with a shot of whiskey. tadah! it will make you feel better.



liyo: stimulamos, stimulamos, stimulamos...
orgasmo!
muy simpleh....



SO NO BIG DEAL!


***happy***
=)

hand me down love

the Mary Peril band (aka Maria Peligro) at Handuraw
Chai is singing one of their latest tracks.. while russ, mecca and i were
screaming our hearts out..

'twas a great night!

don't nail me down

in case of emergency,

these are the important contacts i got..

Forgive me, Godfather, but..

will be waiting till you pass by..

October sigh

October swings the first month of the last quarter. And yes, another year would about to end.

I used to have a day to day chronological record of my day to day life.

However due to hectic schedule and yeah maybe due to laziness, wasn't able to update my daily ritual.

Now, i'm filled with memories of which I know will fade in the deepest concave of my aging brain.

So I better spill it out.

*just recently, Russ had a new boif, and his name is Ze**

*Chai, just like me, gone single again

*I haven't heard from Vera for a long time. But I've visited her some time ago in Dumaguete and she and her beloved other half, Thomas. They became a good host as I stayed in their apartment for a couple of days with my office mate, Ian. ( Gia would like to tag along but she wasn't able to make it ).

*I'll be turning one year here in my current company, and I find myself at home with my team mates and my close friends: Gia and Ian.

*We usually spend our weekends at either Loft or Formo. I couldn't estimate how much alcohol we've consumed.

*The three of us also Tag along with Ricky Pilapil (a trainor and a columnist) and Marinor (a colleague and a really clever business woman/giggling girl/mom)

*this year, I've traveled to Camotes (with Russ, to watch the first sunrise of 2009)

Olango island (with Ms B Jammy and Russ)

Bantayan island (for the holy week)

Bohol Jaunt (with Gia and the gang, we went around different towns and settled in Panglao for several days)

Palawan (with Ms B and Karla)

Iloilo (with jammy)

Guimaras (still with jammy)

*then my latest travel was somewhere North (Pampanga and Olongapo) I'm planning to go to Siargao this new year. Hopefully with Russ again. I already booked the flight

*I'm not yet ready with the upcoming holidays. I dunno what to expect

*I had my first laptop last May, it's an hp2140 mini netbook

*I had a busted SE phone from Nov-July, that's an eight month long without a proper communication with the digital world. So I grab myself my latest phone: Samsung Omnia

*Chai, Russ and I are still intact. And we still hoping Vera would drop by Cebu and hang out with us. But recently, we found some new friends! We got Mecca and Patrick

We've been hanging out lately and we find ourselves singing along Disney musicals and drinking rum coke all night long.

*Recently we went to Mt. View to sing our hearts out and then we had house warming/ slumber party at Mecca's

*I'm loving the people and of course loving the place, Cebu. But there still this nagging feeling to be somewhere else. I have an idea where that is, but not that really sure yet.

I'm fearing the thought that I'm staying way too long in this island. I need to migrate anytime soon. =(

********

meanwhile, as i'm writing this inside bo's terraces, Christmas songs are giving me the creeps!

the holidays are just a couple of months away.... and nothing can't stop it from happening..

sigh, so now let's prepare how to beat the Christmas blues while we still have so much time.

=)

lot's of love!

Plato's Atlantis - Mcqueen

Alexander Mcqueen is one of the 3 persons whom I would like to meet in person before I die.

(the other two would be Bjork and Haruki Murakami).

I can still remember how I marvel his work on fashion books or magazine from way back late 1990's til present (I was still in my High School way back then).

It would be a great honor to witness his live fashion shows. Indeed, Mcqueen is one of the pioneering couturier and designer of the century. Aside from the interesting story line and intricate concept behind his presentation, his audience are struck in awe with his grand finale.

One of the finest finale that he have was his

f/w 2003: scanners ,

s/s 2005: its only a game,

And a/w 2006: the widows of Culloden Where Kate Moss has a surreal, melancholic and austere appearance at the end of the runway show.

Now, I found myself, again, bedazzled by his latest string of work: Plato's Atlantis
of which, as what i've understand from his logical statement on a press release, he envisioned an ecological meltdown---as we may be heading back to underwater species as we evolve from the sea, hence his artwork suggest some metaphorical silhouettes of sea creatures.

So far, the most interesting collection for S/S 2010 Paris Fashion Week!

Hale to Mcqueen!

the doctor said:

"I understand, all right. The hopeless dream of being - not seeming, but being. At every waking moment, alert. The gulf between what you are with others and what you are alone. The vertigo and the constant hunger to be exposed, to be seen through, perhaps even wiped out. Every inflection and every gesture a lie, every smile a grimace. Suicide? No, too vulgar. But you can refuse to move, refuse to talk, so that you don't have to lie. You can shut yourself in. Then you needn't play any parts or make wrong gestures. Or so you thought. But reality is diabolical. Your hiding place isn't watertight. Life trickles in from the outside, and you're forced to react. No one asks if it is true or false, if you're genuine or just a sham. Such things matter only in the theatre, and hardly there either. I understand why you don't speak, why you don't move, why you've created a part for yourself out of apathy. I understand. I admire. You should go on with this part until it is played out, until it loses interest for you. Then you can leave it, just as you've left your other parts one by one."

-from the movie Persona
by Ingmar Bergman
