»» a lot can happen between dial-ups

... its true you know, especially in the case of us dial-uppers. ever noticed how important things seem to happen more frequently in-between internet cards? well its not like there is a relationship between the two but this last weekend could have been good eveidence of such an occurence.

and so we jump right into the stories...

... manila day was casually spent in the company of friends, namely those that were lucky enough to get into updiliman. while waiting up for said friend's schedules to untangle themselves from each other, i sat crosslegged on one of the many stone benches circling their sunken garden, a gentle afternoon breeze of falling acacia leaves sets the mood. so relaxing, id give anything to have that close-with-nature ambience at our school in upmanila. anything quiet would be much preferred over them blaring trucks and buses crowding each other at taft avenue. my heart can only take so much of those stressful horn blowings.

... stowed in a bag side pocket is an mp3 player, the bag and the sheer glee being mine and the mp3 player, my sister's. it'll stay for the week and so far i can't make up my mind of what to stick in there. for now, sheer glee. ^_^

... i hate having to use these dial up cards. here's hoping someone nice(and rich) will read this and buy me some dsl.

... reading into the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy(im at the 3rd book, so far). besides the british humor which i can leave with and the sheer weirdness which i can enjoy, there's a creeping feeling up my spine that tells me this thing has no actual direction whatsoever. i guess this is the point that someone says "that the fun of it!" and i answer back "if thats fun, then there mustn't be very much of it".

anyway, still vice free and dead bored.

»» back to school

my sched is actually freer than i thought. except for flooded tuesdays, fridays and saturdays, im virtually free the whole week.

better start making plans for manila day this coming friday... visit UPD? slum around at home? maybe i'll just giggle around like a silly excited little girl. tempting, but no. maybe ill just think of something to post here worth reading. yah.

the sojourn into the dump i call the entertainment area of my room(aka corner-with-tv-and-ps-and-lotsa-junk) has been successful. the dust bunnies have all been freed back into the urban wilderness and two mystery boxes have been stripped of their secrets...

box1: 3 pairs of shoes(black, brown and rubber), none of which is mine. big surprise.

box2: 2 printers(both VERY old), old highschool docz(testpapers, memos, circulars, the works) and my old books(hardy boys ^_^, choose your own adventures and random non-bestseller novels)

... will buy cd book to tame the stacks of ps1 cds here and will probably give ps1 unit and cds to cousin.

in other news, mini polo shirts fit me real nice ^_^ but a little more exercise wont hurt so im sticking to "the regimen" for another week, not to mention the "white party" is coming up. better look my best, so will lay-off from in-betweeners and coke.

and presently just came home from manila memorial along sucat road. sang their for the wake of dude related to our sponsors. still wondering if all this singing is going to payoff in videoke someday, maybe if the song is in base-cleff. anyway, its work worth doing and i wouldnt trade what i have now for anything else... except maybe for a solid gold toilet.. make that three.

and just.. er.. "decorated" my notebook for college. stuck all those tickets that accumulated during the euro trip on the front cover. perfect for reminding me about the best reason for studying harder, so i can go back.

off to bed to try and get some zzz's early. lookin forward to early morning arcade-ing at times plaza just before my 11:30am class. will make infamity in arcade a goal this year("hey, its that panda guy").

zzzzz... oyasuminasai.

i have reclaimed the space in my room occupied by the cabinet. it used to be that that nook was filled with all my odl clothes. yep, it was the motherload. from baby garments, ring bearer costumes, little shoes, jump straps, mini belt bag, grade school clothes, mini neckties and the occasional mini underwear, i went throught the whole lot of it only to find that only an eighth of it all was still wearable(those small polo shirts doesn't seem so out of fashion anymore) or nostalgic enough to keep(mini necktie!). well, at least now i have a place to keep my pants. yifee.

»» the great fixer upper

i guess i've got a lot in my hands. besides fixing my room, i still have to fix this place, and through countless FAQs, random clicking and luck, i found where i can post my own bg. yifee. the color scheme's next and im not feeling up to the challenge. better start reviewing on those complimentary color watchamacalits.

and on gaming news? a tad depressed, not been able to find time for tekken this last week since the only time i have free is lunch breaks and i spend those eating(big suprise). its only a matter of time before those arcade junkies get used to my big fluffy panda and i lose my "ha! you didn't see that coming coz you've never fought a panda before!" advantage.

the online gaming scene isn't looking to fun either since most of the people in gunbound seems to be so stuck up with their new trajectory calcuting skills. the constant streams of "asa ka pa, boy" and "b0b0" isn't working very well with my nerves. the urge to actually hurl something 70degrees into the air in the direction of said stuck up pr*ck for real comes to mind, but i dont have a wind speed measuring thingie so i'd probably just hit some poor unexpecting ground somewhere, or at the worst, me.

will continue to waste precious internet time downloading mp3s and making the most out of Ares before its defunct. and o yeah, need to look into RSA encryption and Health Informatics journals, coolness. watermelons are still up for sharing.

mad dash to school, with a blockmate of mine informing me of class 30min late. owel, at least the internet is free. download frenzy!!!

Frank Sinatra - Somewhere Beyond The Sea Lyrics

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waitin' for me
My lover stands on golden sand
And watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watchin' for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailin'

It's far beyond the star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'

***INSTRUMENTAL BREAK***

I know beyond a doubt,
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'

(No more sailin')
(So long sailin')
(Byebye sailin')

One by Three Dog Night

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
`Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since she went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest, number one is the loneliest
Number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since she went away
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do


... yoko na tlaga magcomplain. la naman maganda napapala sa kaka-complain e. pero minsan, yun na lang tlaga magagawa mo eh. penge naman pakwan. share tayow.

back again

oh wow, been awhile since the last post... seeing as the last one is all about the first week in rome. owel, in the spirit of NOT picking things up where things left off...

i'm back in the BE-AU-TI-FUL shores of the philippine islands and its great to be back, although there are a few things i wish weren't the case when i got back:

1) i didn't get to save any euros. goodbye to the power of foreign currency.
2) the in[tolerably]sane heat. i underestimated tropical weather, curse you precipitation and humidity!
3) trouble in the home, nothing like coming back from a vacation to be met by worries at your very doorstep

... owel, i can't complain. this vacation was a blast and it put in me a "come what may" kinda attitude (bring it on, fate!) and a need to improve things around the old workplace. changes in my life will involve:

1) cleaner, tidier, neater room. goodbye old boxes! hullo to space!
2) no more wasting time. if i had a penny for everytime i diddle-daddled... i'd have penny's.. hihihi

... the list is bound to get longer, but for now, i better keep things simple. wouldn't want to over shoot things. and o yeah...

3) find a copy of the "red curtain trilogy"

... its a dvd and i want it. or maybe at least get to see romeo+juliet and strictly ballroom, that'll tide me over till when i get to buy this thing. hope that's not too far off in the future.
