maudlin

Ansarap din maka-tsamba sa panaginip-sa-pagtulog ng panaginip-sa-paggising. Sa ilalim ng buwan at mga bituin, sa ilalim ng kapirasong kumot, sa likod ng talukap ng iyong mata naka-tanghal ang palabas ng mga mithiin mo at ikaw ang nag-iisang tagapanood, ang tanging nakakaintindi.

Ngayong paskong malamig, naisipan ng langit na i-regalo sa akin ang panaganip ng panaginip. Dito, sinalubong kita sa bintana ng aming sala. Naka-ngiti kang pumasok na parang matagal ka nang uma-akyat bahay, na parang sine ito at ikaw ang bispren kong kasya sa bintana ng aking kuwarto.

Kunwari'y galit ako sa iyo dahil sa tagal kong paghihintay dito para sa iyo, napawi ang tampo sa saglit na pagtagpo ng ating mga mata.

Naglakad tayo palabas ng bahay, sa mundo ng pansamantalang takipsilim, at nagusap, nagtawanan at napalapit.

Ngunit napunta tayo sa isang malaking kuweba, sa kabilang dulo nakatayo ang ating mga kalaban. May ilang sandaling lumipas, sa kanilang tingin nakalakip ang hamon, at nang walang imik kanyang-kanyang sinimulan ang ritwal na hudyat ng bakbakan.

At saka nagtapos ang palabas ng aking mithiin, nagsara ang tanghalan at bumukas ang aking mata sa mundo kung saan iisa lang ang salita para sa pangarap at panaginip.

fortuity, cadillacs and calendars

After waking up and busily cleaning up the heap o' junk sitting on my desk, all the while immersing myself in morning music, I found a scrap of paper that said "DayDreamCycle - Roses and Cadillacs". The local band probably won't be anywhere on Limewire so I went and picked at Google's engines hoping to score. Lo' and behold, I ended up with much more!

I found her and she filled my morning with beautiful music. I'd try to take the song with me but the quality doesn't seem so clear (and my conscience has somehow learned to gnaw at me effectively), so instead I galumphed around her site.

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingI found her desktop then. It, too, was beautiful, but what caught my eye was an interesting calendar stuck to the wallpaper. Didn't look like some cheap-ass copy paste job on the wallpaper image itself so off I went to tickle Google's engines anew.

I've got the calendar now, although I'm not sure this is the one. Whatever it is, it came just in time to alleviate my schedule problems. Lucky me.

EDIT: It WAS that calendar, but with this skin. I can't help but be amazed by my Googling skills.

Prim and proper is bad for your health

A recent research suggests that sitting in that oh-so-respectable 90º may have been a leading factor to man's most common ailment: backpain.

Research done by Dr. Waseem Amir Bashir, a radiologist from the University of Alberta Hospital in Canada, shows that "the reclined 135-degree position is the ideal sitting position because it actually is similar to a neutral relaxed lying down position".


If this news catches, I'd start selling my stock in pain-relievers right about now.
