Just got home and am happily ending this long week. There's been a lot going this last few days, most of which about a certain filipino hero, an accompanying song and sleep depravation. Next week is looking equally grim but at least there won't be straw hats and filipiniana outfits to worry about.

In other, more interesting news, we're studying the playful folk song 'Galawgaw' in choir. It's the type of song you can laugh about while dancing/playing along with it. I always thought that our choir was great, but not yet 'sell cds and make a profit'-kind of great since we still need a few more tenors and i think i need a little more work. But early this evening, when a fellow choir member recorded our practice, i can't help but feel a sense of pride in my work. We're not top-notch, but we're definitely on our way there. A year or so, maybe?

Oh yeah, hamachi's doing great messing up productivity and the waking-sleeping cycle here in my slice of the world. I'm slightly complaining, because I'm totally enjoying the whole level of 'play with your pc friends in the comfort of you own home and cheap internet' thing but am totally bummed out by the lack of sleep I'll have to put up with to keep the fun going. Ah, must go out and get me a LAN card so I can hook up that DSL access I've been looking up the whole of last month and leave the concept of 'free internet from 12-4am' behind.

Allan's birthday is coming up and I'm hoping I can set something up soon. As much as spontaneous lakads seem to have been more succesful in the past, I still want to go out and do some serious 'pag-aaya'.

Anyway, lots more to look forward to, like sembreak and that something-back mountain I've been hearing so much about, plus I finally got a copy of HP6 (many thanks, allan) so things are definitely looking up.

Just one more burst of 'work work work' and i'll be in the clear. raaar! fighto!

work work work, and i find myself reading through someone's blog. great, just great. and to think i could have been comfortably buried in my dreams right about now if i had even half the brain power to start 2 hours ago. sigh. well at least he writes purty well (elbert).

oops, it's 10pm. i feel the urge to work coming on. later.

its official, that last post has confirmed what i've(and hopefully, you've) dreaded all along, i've renamed myself bonkers, slipped a bolt in the process, and am walking back from crazy town. that last statement is probably freudian and may need to be appended with a comment from a licensed psychiatrist. anyway...

life goes on over here, sometimes stopping by just to remind how he goes on around everywhere and i'm stuck over here doing thesis research and all-important 4th yr stuff. i'd hate life but then i wouldn't have any good reason to interrupt my work. as a note, i've been having too much life lately... ho-hum.

more news to come when i've thought of more creative ways to talk about the mundane, or eat a cream puff, or get inspired, or eat an inspired cream-puff... see? bonkers.
