new moon and a trailer

...i've been obsessing lately with Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series that it is now part of my daily habit...i need to make sure to cover at least 4-5 chapters each day before going to bed (which happens in the morning by the way) and sometimes 2-3 chapters after waking up...a way of procrastinating before preparing for work...



...i went to Powerbooks last Sunday and decided to buy the 2 other books instead of waiting for my bestfriend to send in her copies...besides it's something that i might need re-reading soon...reading about Vampires was once an obsession, i went through multiple search engines looking for anything related to the subject and once came a time that all i can talk about is Ann Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" hehehe...

and now comes this..



...i have 4 chapters left before i get to finish Twilight (most likely i'll have it done after tonight's shift) then i can get to start reading "New Moon"

...i can't wait to rip their shiny plastics hehehe



...and here's the trailer of the movie based from this book, to be released 2nd week of December :) the lead is played by Robert Pattinson...remember Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter 4? yummy noh?



...it's orgasmic

on manning lines and queues

...i was back to working on a Saturday night (something i haven't done for more than a year now) though it's gonna be only for this week...what's disappointing was it turned out i was the only TL who's scheduled for the entire shift...

...as expected, i did the one man/woman show hehehe...it felt refreshing though doing soemthing you haven't done for a long time...i was manning a whole shift, calling out the shots on who's going in, who's out , when they can take breaks or not...it's like handling a fragile Lego toy with you being so careful for it not to fall apart

...much like on real life, it's all about the perfect timing...knowing when to call the right shots, knowing when to let go and knowing when to give up

...oh well, at least i get to attend a friend's birthday party later...carbo overload and then some :)

..enjoy the rest of your weekend, i just did mine...working :)

starting twilight

...i haven't been blogging much lately (well at least not like the way i used before)...blame it on having to work full time again and getting lesser slack time for this kind of stuff...i can't even do blogging at home because our DSL's disconnected (someone didn't bother to pay the bill for the last 5 months...amazing....and that wasn't me if you ask)

...while waiting to have it reconnected and get myself back to my old blogging momentum, i'm back to my 2nd love next to music which is reading...i used to kill time flipping pages of Ann Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" or that Dan Brown series which was way hyped before

...i recently finished Jenna Bush's work entitled "Ana's Story" - a story about a girl born with HIV and how she coped with it through childhood till she got one of her own child...story's really pure and simple in a way that you can relate to it at some point (since this is third world anyway) and the story seems too familiar that what's in it can be found whenever you watch one of those current soap operas' on TV - Pinoy drama is too theatrical sometimes



...since i got an extra time off from work, i went to Powerbooks earlier and bought Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight"...i know i'm a bit late and i need a lot of cathing up (with Eclipse and New Moon that is to complete the series) at least i can get to finish it before the movie gets released later this year...



...it's like remembering my Ann Rice moments all over again :)

it was love at first sight

...my favorite couple in the whole wide world (second to my own of course hehehe) is in town to celebrate their anniversary...and i feel like i'm in love all over again hehehe

Happy Anniversary! :)



...and speaking of falling in love, i found the perfect portable that i'm gonna be buying - the Dell XPS M1330...it was love at first sight...aside from the amazing specs, it has a sleek silver and crimson red finish, what more can i ask for?



...i'm reading through reviews from forums and in Cnet and checking the specs, after all i worked with Dell for more than a year, i should know it by heart hehehe

...i need 80 grand, i'll try to buy it on my own and give myself 2 months, if all else fails then mom's always one call away for helpline hehehe...

nosebleed

...i was having a nosebleed earlier when i was on the way to the office..literally! worst thing is i didn't have any tissue to wipe the blood off my hands...bit morbid...and i was wearing my white jacket to make the situation more difficult



...the nosebleed moment continued till lunchtime, i was given excess tissue while having lunch at Shakeys...weird thing is i couldn't find any reason why i was having a nosebleed...maybe i'm starting to see the after effects of staying too long in a call center environment hehehe

i'd like to play with fire

...i always tend to get sociophobic in an instant if it gets too crowded and this is something that i've been trying to change for the longest time coz for sure others perceive it me being a big snobbish pig hehehe...im a work in progress when it comes to my people skills - working still

...spent my Sunday at the beach but i was not there to have a vacay or to chill, it was for a company event, something that happens annually, something that i have already get used to...we were asked to wear purple but for some reasons (which is totally out of my control and will), we ended wearing black - yes BLACK - in the beach!

***good thing i snatched this gorgeous hat for some shade





...then they had me joined one game (which is way too physical for my level)...i don't know what it's called but mechanics were easy...it's where you tie a balloon in your feet and someone will try to pop it and vise versa...it feels like someone popping my cherry minus the orgasmic effect hehehe



...the one thing i genuinely enjoyed the whole night was the firedancing from these two guys...it's nice to play with fire indeed **wink**





...did an "eat-and-run" moment before it hits 8PM...it was literally hot ( i was still wearing the black shirt) and i badly needed a shower

guilty pleasure and SSB

...what's your guilty pleasure?...something that you really enjoy yet at the same time you don't want anyone else to find out about it...either it's quite embarassing or maybe it's quite something taboo to others that you'd rather keep it to yourself...

...i remember watching one episode of Sex and the City where Carrie Bradshaw was talking about each of us having our own SSB (Single Secret Behavior)...it could be from the simple biting of nails instead of using your good 'ole nailcutter or binging Oreos while watching your favorite porn by midnight - whatever it is...it all boils down to one thing...they gave us the pleasure and at the same time letting go of any inhibitions while doing it (these would most likely apply to our best kept secret erotic fantasy hehehe)...

...well, i got lots of SSB actually, 2 of my closest friends already know about it, but there's one that i think is pretty normal and something that i did earlier which led me to writing this piece...it's doing a marathon of watching super cheesy Tagalog films...think of "Kailangan Kita", "When Love Begins", "My Big Love" (which i just enjoyed earlier hehehe) and all of those Ai-Ai's slapstick comedies and you'll know what i'm talking about...hehehe...



...the only reason why i had it considered SSB is that most of my friends don't really know that i'm the type who digs for these corny stuff (or at least i think)...but there, now you know it, i spilled...so if in case you have a copy of some of the Tagalog flicks shown lately that i might have missed then let me know and for sure you'll put on a big smile on my face :)

..."Caregiver" anyone? hehehe

i'm embarass and fuck the reviews

...i've done something embarassing two days ago though i never got the chance to blog about it right away...we did a "SantaCruzan Parade" thingy in the office where participants should be from leadership and since i was the only male left (well technically) from my program, i got to be the escort hehehe...we needed to do a lil' skit but we didn't play the part...wearing the barong right under an arc was humiliating enough hehehe...





...anyway, i'm gonna be watching SJP and the other gals from Sex and the City later, it's nice to see them all back...they've been a staple of my Saturday nights when i was still in highschool till college and seeing them in the big screen would be such a treat...fuck the bad reviews about the film...it's time to lust again for the pretty dresses i may never get to wear in this lifetime and some of those luscious stuff they have that i may never get to afford...



...and if i have enough energy left, i'll be finishing this beautiful yet very touching book authored by Jenna Bush and browse through the new edition of Metro HIM...

...enjoy the weekend babies :)

something to remember

my mom was here in the city for a day to give me a visit...we had the usual mom-son date but somethin' happened which i think will make her visit something to remember, well at least for a while...every mom has this habit on trying to organize their son's room even if were ok with the current state their in and she happened to make her way arranging my bedside table...



i was as red as a beet and was too embarrass when my mom sorted my CD collection and found discs of gay porn in all of their naked glory stacked between piled audio discs....that moment felt like i'm caught jackin' off/shaggin someone red handed hehehe...good thing she's always the type who doesn't ask questions and she just pretended like she was arranging Mariah's discs like nothing happened...hehehe

...on the bright side, my table's in order now :)

super post Mother's Day

...my mother's in town for a day...i gotta play the "best son in the world" part :) time to go see Indiana Jones right after a lunch date

...sweet :)

this just ain't right

...i've listened to the preview of Scarlett Johansson's "Anywhere I Lay My Head" album and it really felt strange - in a kinda bad way...it felt like she was singing while being submerged in an underwater tank gasping for breath

...she's a pretty face and a good actress but i like to leave it just like that...spare the singing part please...but i'm sure there's someone out there raving and liking this album to death...that's just me

...try to listen to the debut cut "Falling Down" and you'll exactly feel what i'm talking about...the track reminds me of Mono but way better

just because...he had it coming

...i was having my iPod in full shuffle mode when it played something i haven't heard in years...i didn't even know i had it in one of my playlists...brought back random memories and i must say this is one of those songs you wouldn't mind playing for one more time



Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
carvin' up the chicken for dinner,
minding my own business,
and in storms my husband Wilbur,
in a jealous rage.
"You been screwin' the milkman,"
he says. He was crazy
and he kept screamin',
"you been screwin the milkman."
And then he ran into my knife.
He ran into my knife ten times.."

...that's my fave part from the "Cell Block Tango" off the Chicago soundtrack...which led me to ask...would you be doin' the same thing they did if you were in the same situation?

...would you also be singing "he had it coming"?

...thoughts :)

it was worth the wait

...seeing David Cook won Idol was worth the extra hours i spent on the TV instead of getting my usual sleep time

..and seeing Bryan Adams again after a long time was orgasmic...he's just like fine wine

...enough said! :)

visually stunning

...amidst all bad reviews and tanking at the box office (in the US that is), i still decided to watch Speed Racer...actually it wasn't my choice but of ian (she's a super big fan of Rain), she wanted to see Rain in his first attempt at Hollywood...this was after a good serving of Malaysian chicken satay perfectly blended with home made peanut sauce (one of the best without being bias) served by my friend Marissa :)

...going back to Speed Racer, it was one if not the most visually stunning or should i say colorful movie i've ever seen...i felt like they've used all known colors in the world in this flick...and coming from the Wachowski brothers, you can expect the usual best graphic effects they're known for Matrix...the story lines takes conscious effort for you to keep up with the pace but other than that, the whole plot is quite easy to get :)



...went to Starbucks for a little caffeine fix then went home after...wore my biker jacket feeling the speed racer moment for a bit hehehe



...anyway, somethin super nice before i say goodnight :)

i love you

...i had a haircut earlier and got a new hair color....while waiting for the hair color to get done, i saw a guy right across from me whispering "i love you" to the girl 2 seats away from my side which was his girlfriend...catching that act made me felt happy for that moment...happy for them, happy for other people in love hehehe...at least i know i'm not bitter with love :)

...cheesy stuff yah know...hahay :)

life's a bitch and then you die

...woke up a bit earlier and was starving and at the same time was feeling lethargic that i didn't bother looking for something to eat...instead a song keeps playing in my head and i just can't remember the title but weird thing is i'm singing the song aloud :)

...turned out to be one track from Dawson's Creek OST (Life's a Bitch by Shooter), next thing i know i was on Limewire searching for the whole album tracks and had it successfully uploaded in my iPod...sweet :)

they finally tied the knot

...after 5 years of being together, they finally tied the knot (my housemate Erick and her GF Karen - both were my classmate way back college) and it's one of the reason why i stayed longer than planned last week in Cee-Dee-Oh

...the wedding turned out to be sort of a reunion with my college friends, some i haven't seen for the longest time, some were already married and with kids while some stayed just the way they were when we parted ways years ago

***workin' the camera before the reception started





...and some other shots outside the church





...and look ma! i found my future sugar daddy hehehe :)



...too bad i forgot to take a shot with the couple hehehe...something i need to remind myself the next time i'll attend a wedding :)

got to make the move

...i'm once again back to work and i got to make BIG decisions about my career...moving on to something different and getting out of my comfort zone would be quite risky but i'm hoping it will be for the better...everything requires perfect timing and of course a little stroke of luck to get to a place that i need to be with work..

...i'm still a bit disoriented and still in the process of catching up with things but i'm definitely sure that i'll be able to get this worked out before this shift ends..

...surprisingly, i'm now feeling sleepy (even with a grande soy latte from Starbs by my side)...this is my usual bed time when i was on vacation...gotta make another body clock change again

...welcome me back to the call center world :)

feel the rain on your skin

...i'm back in Cebu :)

...and what welcomes me is heavy rain...if only i don't have this nasty cold, i'll be enjoying the rain outside :)

i've got few more days left

...i'm about to end my 2-week vacation (which is what i badly needed) and i can see myself back in that boring chair in front of a pc in a corner workstation working my ass off doing the same shit all over again...

...if there's any consolation to it, i got the chance to do some of things i've been wanting to do for the longest time...i got the time to see some old friends (some who were already too different for me to comprehend)...it's amazing what time can do to a person but still it's super nice to reminisce about the past over a cup of coffee while carbo overloading at the same time :)

***reunited with my girlfriends :) - yeah! i was way too straight before hehehe







***i managed to squeeze in some time to revisit Xavier :) - too bad i realized my time in that school was wayyy over...i didn't see any familiar faces at all :(



***and a random shot from Davao :)



...as they say all good things come to an end...so better make the most of the few days i have left for the vacation...i got one fab wedding i need to attend so i'd better be ready :)

...if only i can get rid of this nasty cough and itchy nose i'll be happier :)
