two thousand and four recrap

dash-ing thru thes-now.. in a one-horse o-pens leigh..

it's almost xmas, but it doesnt feel like it.. you see, im in graveyard at least until next week.. plus a big possibility including christmas night.. this means almost no time for shopping.. the heck, i dont have anything to use for shopping anyway, na kay pareng visa at mastercard na, bwahahaha..

okay, so this is almost too early for an annual recap of all the crap and not-so-crap that i've been through the rest of the year.. but hey, what something big could happen in a span of two weeks or so with a work schedule like this?! i'll answer that on january 1.. :p

so.. career-wise it's been rated-crap. two straight C's (evaluation-rating) is not-so very me.. but i accept it, i very well deserve it. as Han Solo would say: "i get bored sometimes, Jabba.." nuff said.

career-hunting? i wouldn't say crap.. i might have gotten a lot of 'no's' this year (and the years before), but that would mean i'm getting nearer in getting a 'yes'. my time of redemption would come, i know it. (memel, use your powers, please?)

ah, matters of the crappy heart.. is a crap by itself, bwahaha.. i don't complain, really.. i had few dates (five to be exact) that i really enjoyed, and to tell you the truth, outcomes don't matter to me.. okay, maybe just a bit.. fine, it does matter. but they were really nice moments. period.

gimiks! woohoo, this must be my most outgoing year ever.. it's been nice to rediscover ourselves (tropang hayskul, akoaycaviteno mafia) together.. i can say nothing more.. simply great..

i miss my maw*pots.. we went out only once this year.. february pa yata.. still, the only girl of my life as of the moment, wehehe.. i wish for her to make it good in school, and things to be somewhat okay between her and rick.. she knows my stand over their issue, but i'll just be always here for her whatever happens..

and other cyberworld thingies that i got hooked on this year: alimasag, kings of chaos, blogging, ragnarok, etc. they are all but phases that passed and will pass me by; all worth the while.

happy new year to all of ya.. God bless us all.. :)

push

push.. the catch phrase of the moment at work.. it is -actually a simple acronym in the tradition of 'italy' and 'japan' without the mush-mush bigelow.. it means 'Pray Until Something Happens.' that's how dire the situation of the business right now.. and me trying to jump out of the beleaguered ship at any given precious chance.. that's life. someone's got to play that role..

as a consequence, the word 'vacation' will be out of our vocabulary for the rest of the holiday season. tough. no more out-of-southern luzon sortie for me unlike last year. but come to think of it, it helps me save some moolah for all my debts and bills and on-line gaming career. i guess i is right.. isaac, that is, on his 3rd law of motion. on my personal metaphor, i can't still agree on i about that third rule..

still, i can't sense anyone giving me a holiday gift.. so officially this is a solicitation.. bwehehe.. in reality, it would be great, but i can do without it anyway.. i just cherish the thoughtfulness of someone giving me even a teenie-weenie token. though i seldom give gifts myself, just to those few people that i really really appreciate, except immediate family.. im so evil.

by the way, i got to watch 'troy' and 'alexander' this weekend.. i liked 'troy' better, though achilles is often referred to in the movie as alexander the great's descendant (there's even a huge portrait of the trojan war hero riding his chariot while dragging poor hector). i was a bit annoyed since there's a lot of storytelling and conversation scenes. i guess it was necessary for the audience to understand the story, unlike in 'troy' where the flow of the story is quite predictable: trojan steals spartan chick-spartan king whines to greek king brother-king brother went with the whole neighborhood to get back the chick-achilles fell in love in the process. simple, isn't it. i enjoyed both, though. hehe.

by the way, i'm back blogging. welcome to myself.

hwehehe.. there, i just needed something to kick me off into writing.. been quite busy at work lately.. sort of, since i don't really get to leave the office at the sound of the 5:30 chime.. it's just that items are raised up at the time that i'm already gearing up to get the hell out of the place.. that's timing for you..

remember that 'plan B'.. not sure if it's still appearing somewhere below.. nothing. just a thought.

level up.. yeah, that's what im gonna do after this.. ronnie's fault, he lured me into the ragnarok trap (which is quite difficult to get out from, hehe).. silly gullible me. but it's pretty cool, really.. anyways, sawa na ko sa buhay ko, so it's a refreshing change, at least for now..

it's almost november, and a career change is not yet in the horizon.. so might as well get that 60% of 13th month loot and the bonus. but if something transpires (pliiiisss??), well.. i'll cross the hanging bridge when i get there..

that's all about it, folks.. (teleport).

ayronik

isn't this ironic.. don't you think? (it's like reeeeyyynn on ur weddiiiing deyy..)



this caught my philosophical intellect's attention.. i never saw what's this box's original content, probably some LAN stuff or maybe cable.. anyways, i think it's my nature to jumble unfamiliar words thinking that i might find its etymology. so i came up reading it in reverse: ASKUL ---> LUKSA. ('mourn' in english. for the benefit of my foreigner readers. amp. lol. ) then right below it written: 'happy office network service'. some wisecrack from this firm who conceptualized this must have been very proud of his stunt.

but of course, genius as he is, this is probably his defense if questioned: ASKUL is reverse of LUKSA (mourn), so 'happy' is just a fitting description.

tsk tsk.. the perils of an idle mind.

pasaway?! (wtf)

i'm not fond of using this term, specially that it is now the title of the latest OPM crap by idunnowwho (he sounds like blakdyak. whatever), but i think i'm becoming one at work. i've read from somewhere, "love your work, but not your employer; because you don't know when your employer will stop loving you" (or something to that effect). me? i'm losing mi amor for both.

i still got my grip though. until i find a new career. balik na nga lang ako sa showbiz, hekhekhek.

overdrive

monday afternoon was spent by making one of my biggest semi-impulsive decisions in life, and probably my last 'japresto-cum-designer-coffee-all-in-an-hour' act in the next three hundred and sixty five days. unless of course my latest life-enhancing scheme works. anyways, seth and dro were with me.. though i thought it was much deserved after a scorching-hot drive inside an airconditioning-less EL from imus to gma to silang, then a rain-drenched, empty-stomach descent from silang to sm-dasmarinas. i can see those OR's of glads and curly amounting to 500 bucks claiming fee each. herherher. lesson of the day: ask what's there is to ask, read signs, and use your instincts. no matter what's this all about, it will work anyway. it's generic.

i love blogging during unholy hours.

what if..

..just when you thought you've got a potential major plan B, suddenly the thing that came crashing to your face on plan A resurfaced on plan B, and hit the bejesus out of you once more? create plan C?

i actually did. and it's working perfectly well. plan A is dead forever, but not before saving some of it for plan B to work which is good enough for some occasions.

another vague idea from lonix.

ala wenta..

i wasn't really supposed to blog today, in fact i thought of not posting until november 1. just that. anyway, i went out for a while just half an hour ago to buy benzoyl peroxide (for me. crap.) on a mercury drug store inside the nearby robinson's mall. then i saw this man ahead of me urinating on the galvanized sheet-made makeshift wall of a sari-sari store. then after the 'downloading' process, he struggled to button his pants, it almost fell twice. in fact his underwear is already slightly showing up from behind. great, the dude is drunk. then he made a few steps, albeit struggling to walk straight, towards the facade of the store where his drinking buddy (the store owner) is waiting for him. then i thought of the time, it's 20 before six, and it ain't dark outside yet. and they already had it this early.

i noticed this sort of generation gap in terms of drinking before. at first i thought it's limited only to the provinces. last december when we went to sto. domingo, ilocos sur, roni and i were forced to drink as early as 4 o'clock in the afternoon. i was drunk silly by 8 o'clock (roni was just silly).. then i saw this man. cavite is a province, but hell, the place near the public market here in imus is worse than baclaran, mind you. so anyway, i just wondered why we, the generation so-called 'X' likes to start it late, while the generation of our parents and young uncles prefers to jumpstart while the sun is still proud. i guess they have this twisted version of a famous mantra: "early to drink, early to rise, makes an alcoholic healthy and wise". hehe..

when the dude returned to the store front, i overheard him speaking-in-drunk-tounges, apparently bidding goodbye to his drinking mate and to the little girl standing near them. see, i understood it.. at least we have a common language.

p.s. i already got the pictures from last week's bash.. but i'm still too lazy to post them here. since i'm on dial-up, i have to be really hyper to fix things, specially uploading stuff. so there. probably on november 1. hekhekhekk..

if i forget someone.. uhm.. i have temporary-partial amnesia caused by alcohol.. anyways.. last night was great.. could have been greater, but you can't have 'em all.. to those who didn't come, well.. there's always next time.. pray that i'm still alive by next year.. however, gift is mandatory by then. hehe.

i'll post the fabulous shots (hayuf!) later. pag nadownload na ni dok at napadevelop na ni setay.. uhh.. the other way around.

the following conversation happened last monday, lunchtime.. it so happened that in our Business Unit (BU), all male managers are required to wear a tie every monday..

Mark (an engineer from my former BU): o sir, bakit hindi ka naka-kurbata?
LoN: baket? manager ba ko?
Mark: sige, ipagpe-pray kong maging manager ka rin..
LoN: hayuf ka..!

go figure.

suddenly i was thinking the other day.. and it sure makes me ponder to no end, that what i do right now is not the career that i wanted all along when i took up my degree in college.. did i take the wrong path in school, or did i make the wrong way after school? well of course it may have been a different story if i'm earning above my defined satisfactory income level.. then i asked myself again.. what if it is the case.. then i came into a conclusion.. this is not for me.. i want to shift direction.. if i just can quit right now, i'll do it.. but times are hard and we have no relation whatsoever to the Ayala's, Tan's, or Sy's.. there's no room for indecisiveness anymore.. had not for it, baka nasa Taiwan na din ako, taking a shot at the overseas-job thing.. i've some plans and schemes, i'll just wait and see.. as for now, i'm a day-to-day basis professional..

to andro: seryoso ako sa italian kitchen natin, hehe..

blogger's block's over, i think..

sneak preview daw

diyan.. diyan kami sa beerday ko, wehehehe..

actually kina doki yan, bagong gawa lang yan.. actually di pa tapos, wala pang barnis.. tsaka yung customized drawer sa ilalim ng mga upuan, para maging 'throw-up bin', herherher.. pero malaki yan, kasya dalawampung lasheng.. dapat kasi sa island song, kaso mahirap ang buhay ngayon, so there.. aarkila na lang ng videoke machine, kung hindi, baka maaga magyaya umuwi si memelito, bwehehe..

nga pala, yang nag-eemote sa picture ay si andro, 26, single, magaling magluto ng spaghetti sauce na parang initsa lang yung kamatis at tatlong klase ng keso sa kaserola, tsaka sinabawan.. pero dangsarap, pramis.. actually, magdadala sya nun sa a-onse, hehe..

isa sa pinakawalang-kwentang entry ko, nyehehe.. pero dang-cool.

p.s. nampucha, si pareng skynyrd nasa taiwan na naman, hayuf sya iniwan ako, di man lang ako pinilit, ahuhuhu...

sPURRR ARF the moment..

sa wakas..

..ay nakapagpalit na rin ng iskin.. wehehe.. kelangan lang palang magpanggabi ako para maayos ko.. lintek.. di pa kumpleto 'to, me mga kulang pang chuvanels ek-ek..

gonna be at graveyard shift for the next three working days, including this one. buti na lang holiday sa sabado. makakalaboy sa gabi, plus to take care of the stuff for next week.. doki, tuloy tayo sa sabado.. ang galing nga at hindi ako inantok maski sandali lang tulog ko kaninang hapon.. salamat sa kolorum na internet connection.. pero medyo inaantok na ako.

i got a pretty cool wallpaper of elisha cutberth from a dedicated website.. she's too damn pretty for comfort, wehehe.. memelito's gonna drool when he sees it.. with the matching one liner from 'the girl next door'.

i watched 'love actually' last night on dvd.. bootleg copy, as usual. it's good, there are points where i almost got asleep, but things in the movie brought its twists just in time to prevent me from doing so, hehe.. i got drowned in heavy english accent, though.. specially from hugh grant and professor snape.. alan rickman, i mean. liam neeson was great, haven't seen him since he was cut into halves by darth maul..

hoping.. i can pull the stunt i've been planning (more like conceptualizing) the past few days.. actually, i couldn't care less about the outcome.. but of course, i'd like to see the 'good' turns to 'great'. and i need major help from friends.. (parinig.. pabasa pala) to those who don't understand - i'm not telling..

giniginaw na ko dito, brrrr..

nung isang gabi..

this was last friday night.. nag-kape, nag-tsaa, nag-ensaymada, nag-sandwich, konting chismax, at picture-picture.. itetch ang kinalabasan..

nga pala.. sa tagaytay pala ito.. wehehe..



kuha ni fafa willy.. fog lang yan, nde dementors..

amp.

it's been raining for like 3 days or so.. which makes me so dumb, i can't blog during the same period of time. anyways, expect lots of nonsense for the next minute. maybe less if you read faster.

been amused all sunday afternoon for the following reasons:

1. i was asleep the whole morning. of course i may have smiled while sleeping.
2. i finally made some progress on 007: everything or nothing. it's a video game, in case you might ask.
3. i got my rusty-shaded jacket back.
4. someone always makes me smile. ikaw, sa palagay mo ikaw yun?! me haloscan sa baba..
5. i found and bought a gem of a 2-part, OPM-alternative compilation album named 'The Tone Def Collection'.
6. watched the 'reformatted' mel and joey on channel 7. joey de leon made the show witty, intelligent and most importantly, watchable.
7. i can actually add data to an ordinary CD-R which already has data. i was enlightened.

see, i can be un-stoic sometimes. almost.

this isn't over. monday night i was nearly soaking wet from the rain, if not for the rusty-shaded jacket and the office jacket.

today i brought an umbrella. a small one. a foldable, black one. if there's a stealth umbrella, i'll buy one.

nyinyinyinyiii..

been smelling rugby somewhere inside the company building. reminds me of my childhood, ahuummmm (sabay singhot).. of course i'm just kidding.

nyinyinyinyiii..

contemplating on letting go of my ISP and then get a g-flex subscription instead..ahuummm..

nyinyinyinyiii..

me matatanggap kaya akong regalo sa beerday ko..?! ahuummm..

malapit na ko lumutang sa kaka-ahuummm..

mga saloobin..

aking mga saloobin ngayung araw na ito..

1. ayoko na ng pizzaaa.. umph.. uumph.. (duwal)

2. sana ganito kasimple ang buhay.. hekhekhek..

3. antagal tumila ng ulan, gusto ko nang umuwi, grrr..

:round and round:

groundhog day!!
 
i could almost hear it everytime i wake up in the morning nowadays.. life's been looping around the humdrum cycle of waking up-eating breakfast-going to work-going home the same route day after day-eating dinner-succumbing to the net-sleeping.. i must get out..
 
ate my dinner at mcdonald's a while ago.. alone.. i didn't like the food awaiting for me here at the house, so i decided to feast on bigmac and the sidepaloozas.. besides, ang huli kong kain ay alas-dose pa ng tanghali.. buset na meeting..
 

 
'dinaanan ng bagyo'
 
i kinda observed some peeps while munching.. may mangilan-ngilan ding nag-iisang kumakain. probably having the same sentiments that i have regarding dinner, and probably more.. may mga estudyante ring magto-tropa.. dig this: nowadays, in a group of 15 to 18 year-old females, kapag may kasamang lalake sa lakad, malamang b.f. ito ng isa sa kanila, otherwise ito'y bading.. isang magandang modern sociological theory.. hehe..
 
come to think of it, medyo nagsasawa na ako sa aking bLag-iskin.. am gonna change it soon.. say, in the next three months.. nyahehehe.. you've gotta watch out for it.. it'll be worth the wait.. not!

Track 29..

gone to work on a sunday.. what could be worse than that.. on the other hand, i've got some stuff to finish (it never ends, really) and i've got nothing to do at home.. finished it somehow, except for the photos that i need to attach.. someone took home that digicam again.. it will be fine tomorrow morning, i just hope i'll be outta here before the multitude of vehicles slows down the highway on a monday morning rush.. such an irony.. hehe.. i returned home just before 2:30 pm..
 
tried to sleep.. changed my mind.. if i keep this up, hatinggabi na ko aantukin nito.. so i turned my pc on.. turned on the radio too (our meralco meter's kinda econoclass, hehe).. hmm.. NU 107.. all-request weekend.. i got to listen to some of their old stuff (read: mid-90's), so i listed them down, and kazaa did the rest for me.. the catch of the day: '66' by Afghan Whigs, 'Never There' and 'Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps' by Cake, 'Female of the Species' by Space (i thought this was by Cake also), plus some not-so-old ones 'Bulimic' and 'Poetic Tragedy' by The Used, 'Have a Nice Day' by The Stereophonics, and 'Wash It Away' by Black Lab (di ko nadownload pa, nagdamot ang may-ari).. classics 'Hair of the Dog' by Nazareth and 'Ruby Tuesday' of the Rolling Stones completed the harvest.. cool.. nanganganib na ang free-space ng HD ko.. hehe..
 
lunes na naman bukas.. and the silicon chip inside my head will switch to overload again.. pede bang gawing tatlong araw ang weekend..?! haynakow.. i think i'm gonna play basketball this week, hope the weather will allow it.. it'll take off some stress.. and worries.. hehe.. have a productive week y'all..

week 28 haLf-time recap..

crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap.. nothing but crap.. been kinda fed-up too with problems at work, pretty much like the dude blogging on the other side of Blogger's domain.. but i'm fine.. specially when the 5:30 pm chime starts doing its thing.. music to my ears..

lynyrd refered to me yesterday through SMS a work opportunity at ROC.. being himself also seeking a return stint (he worked there for two years or so) to the breakaway china, i gave it a serious thought.. until now im still contemplating whether to go to the place of the agency or not.. bahala na..

watched kill bill last monday with dok, setay, buddy, andro, and melito.. blood-and-gore-wise, it paled in comparison with volume 1, but the story was great anyway.. still anime-ish to me.. tarantino amazed me again.. and the diverse soundtrack rocked once more.. specially liked shivaree's 'goodnight moon', which i ended up downloading an mp3 file right after i went home that night.. salamat sa kazaa..

negativity..

i am a pessimist.. i bet not everyone in my (a perfect) circle knows that 'bout me.. no, i don't need a Keyence Ionizer (yet) to balace me out altogether.. it's just that i have this penchant for expecting for the worst in any event that i may anticipate to happen.. it's like everyone sees the blinding bright light ahead, and yet i say 'it's kinda dark still, moron..' and it saks 'cause sometimes it takes the best out of me, keeping me from doing what i must do, and in effect turning me into a virtual sitting duck.. an alone and easy target..

i had my shares of failures and frustrations way back my younger years, but i don't remember a single instance where i sulked.. i guess i was emotionless back then.. the one who puts everything in stride and go on with life as fast as a fingersnap.. and i think it's haunting me now.. you know, all those past vexations that i should have pondered over, are now having they're revenge and turning me into a stupid cynic.. oh well.. makanood na lang ng charmed nga..

hmm.. siguro.. i just don't want to be all too assuming.. a ewan.. saan na ba yung remote..?!

remembering Panoy and the United Center..

its amazing how a song manages to trigger a memory recall.. in one way or another, it seems to be the best stimuli for the brain to dig deep into its archive and bring out a particular event related to it, no matter how insignificant it is.. take this music you're hearing right now as an example.. one of our backyard-hardcourt buddies, panoy, played this on guitar before, i think that was on lynyrd's place.. we were chilling out after a game, he was strumming some tunes, and then he played the intro of this song.. it was like cool, and we sang it and finished it (including the pseudo-rap portion).. kami lang ang kumanta tsaka si owen kasi kaming tatlo lang naka-loctite na ang tuner ng radyo sa NU noon.. lynyrd and jerry were doing something i forgot what..

that was also the time when everyone wants to be like Mike and every team is claiming to be the Chicago Bulls.. twas the third year, i think, of their last championship run.. and every backyard we played then is the United Center.. ah, those were the days... when worries and expenses are less.. and so is the money..

..sabado nights (and day)

it was one seminar i enjoyed.. the new seven qc tools.. hmm.. i thought i would be asleep even for a slight moment, but danny and jay (lecture-providers) made sure i wouldn't.. hehe.. basically all these seven topics were all about non-quantitative data (words and ideas) organization.. i was particularly amused with the example they made to demonstrate the prioritization matrix.. dig this: the task was to select the best suitor, one is rich, looks like eddie gil, and arrogant; the other is dead poor, looks like aga muhlach, and was 'medyo bastos'; the last one is lower middle class, looks like bayani agbayani, and is a goody-goody dude.. then after some comparative matrix mumbo-jumbos which include computations of values less than one, the bayani-look-alike emerged the winner.. go figure how..

the gang was here just an hour ago.. doki, setay, andro, mel, and kuluts raided the 'dogi-pound', or so it seems.. they came away with some 'unclaimed' cd's.. we were supposed to finish off the long-overdue black label.. as i said manamis-namis na sya sa sobrang tagal.. but it seems this one's meant to last.. nagkatamaran uminom for some reasons.. maybe the pizza has something to do with it.. anyway, twas just a typical tambay session with some recycled stories, internet tripping with other people's friendster account (bad cow, bad octopus, u two shud be spanked, hehe), and 'burning' session, among others.. we had a good time.. mabababaw lang naman kami e, hehe..

some thoughts:

"You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back."
- Barbara DeAngelis

found this one on a stray notepad file on my desktop, which serves as my 'soft' scratch paper..

by this time, setay is also blogging.. hehe.. moo..!

maski title wala akong maisip..

yesterday was quite eventful.. yet, i find it hard to make an entry out of it, the creative writing juices aren't flowing freely today, hehe.. just came across this Leonna Naess mp3 file.. it's a pretty neat song, i remember singing this one very often back then when it was tops on NU 107 chart.. and this is a girly song. aYos..

Charm Attack (Leona Naess)
from the album 'Comatised'

He's the kind of guy
Who's always passin' by
Who never has time to spend
And he'll take you for a spin
And won't look within
To find out who you are
And he numbs himself with weed
He's from the coldest breed
Who judge by what they see
And I thought he was
Smart enough to know
That the girl on his arm
Will never calm his storms
Watch out, he'll charm you

Chorus:
Smoother than the L.A. weather
That's how he holds himself together
He is colder than the winter
I wrap my coat around to bear the
Cataract of his charm attack
That leaves me hungry
Well, I'm no savior
But I tried to save you
With all my love
that rages high inside.

And he has his minions
With no real opinions
'Cause they all walk on glass
And your lies become the truth
And give me the proof that you really care
With your gorgeous grin
You have the world sucked in
Believin' in everything you say
Watch out, he'll charm you

Chorus(2x)

And he stamps on every emotion
And he dampens each and every explosion
(repeat)


gonna work tomorrow.. pambayad-utang..

chopsuey..

i had my third process orientation yesterday to new operators in about a week, and it looks like i don't wanna do it again for the next 30 days or so.. it's good at the first time, the second is still alright, but on the third i already felt like a tv show rerun.. it's just now i realized that it takes passion for someone who does teaching as a living to sustain it for a long time.. my hats off to them..

and so it came to pass.. mike, chester, and the rest of linkin verb.. er, park, set foot to manila and performed live at the ccp open grounds last night.. i still don't have feedback yet from badette regarding the affair, but i'm pretty sure it was a blast.. i wasn't able to watch because.. just because. doki got to hear it via phone patch from badd (on the chorus part of 'in the end'), as stated in doki's text message which i failed to reply to because i was struggling to get past the washington wizards in the first game of the eastern conference finals (which i eventually lost), and i kinda forgot about it later on.. so there..

as i predicted, the detroit pistons won the NBA finals in five games over the pre-finals favorite LA lakers, 100-87.. big ben wallace contributed 18 points and 22 rebounds, and chauncey billups, the most consistent player on the pistons' side all through out the Finals, got the Finals MVP plum.. well deserved, i say.. i gotta watch the replay tonight (10pm, IBC 13), even though it was far from being a classic finals game.. the pistons lead all the way after surviving the lakers' jackrabbit start, which found themselves trailing behind by seven early in the first quarter.. and i said i'm gonna sleep early tonight.. ayos.. gotta start to think what good movie to watch, hmm..

yun lang. =)

isa pa sa Palace..!!

AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- The Detroit Pistons remain unrelenting. The Los Angeles Lakers are unraveling.

The Pistons moved within one win of the greatest upset in NBA Finals history, finishing with a rush in an 88-80 Game Four victory over the Lakers, who appear to be going down in a hailstorm of missed shots and unmet expectations.

An emotional Rasheed Wallace emerged from a personal prison of foul trouble to collect 26 points and 13 rebounds. He teamed with Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton to fuel a 32-point fourth quarter that brought The Palace of Auburn Hills to a fever pitch and pushed the Lakers to the brink.

Wallace took advantage of a hobbled Karl Malone and abused his smaller substitutes as he effectively worked his inside-outside game.

Detroit's defense survived an assault by Shaquille O'Neal, who had 36 points and 20 rebounds but was reduced to a one-man team. As they have throughout the series, the Pistons shut down most of his teammates and corraled Kobe Bryant, who made just 8-of-25 shots as he fired away at will.

For the fourth straight game, the Pistons were the more energetic, hungrier team. When the series started, many wondered how they were going to win one game. Now it's hard to imagine them losing one.

The Pistons hold a commanding 3-1 lead and can win their first NBA title in 14 years here Tuesday.

this stirring game 4 win by detroit got me free lunch this afternoon, and hopefully a movie ticket if the pistons will finish the series on their last home game of the season on wednesday morning.. it'll be a pretty enough consolation after an 'on me' pizza.. as i predicted, pistons in five, it will be..

ay sayang..

Kobe Amazes Again, Lakers Knot Series

LOS ANGELES, June 8 (Ticker) -- Kobe Bryant figured out the defense of the Detroit Pistons, just in time to save the Los Angeles Lakers' season.

Bryant buried a tying 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation, then took complete control of overtime as the Lakers scrambled for an emotional 99-91 victory over the Pistons that evened NBA Finals 2004 at one game
each.

Again showing his outstanding abilities in the clutch, Bryant scored 14 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter and overtime as he pulled the Lakers from the brink of facing a 2-0 deficit. L.A. was scant seconds from dropping the first two games at home, something which no team has ever recovered to win the title.

(complete story)

i wasn't able to watch this one, but my imagination captured this moment on NBA courtside live, wherein a Flash window updates the happenings on the court via play-by-play transcription.. jimmy and i were staring at the last update.. it says LA team timeout, 10 seconds remaining; 89-86.. then the next update came.. bryant, jumpshot.. then the score was tied.. 3-points pa ang lintek.. 2 seconds remained, but detroit wasn't able to even take a shot.. then overtime.. then when LA cruised ahead by five in overtime, la na, natulog na lang ako.. hehe..

you gotta give it to Kobe though.. i admire his mental toughness all through out the season despite his on going rape case trial.. but still, Bebe's gonna kill him for that shot..

an ode to jimmy-a-a..

eversince Mobile Backlight Engineering was formed, we expected jimmy to be our leader through thick and thin, though we had more thins than thicks.. and every single first impression on him would rule out that he'd be an advisory engineer.. it simply doesn't show.. he's never serious, cracks jokes from everything he hears, has a knack for creating song medleys you never thought possible (yet you say 'oo nga no!'), a self-proclaimed romnick sarmienta look-alike, and a proven 'bagets-killer'.. but i believed in him, and ronnie, i think, did too.. he proved himself nonetheless, and he's our 'evaluator' now (a term we prefer rather than manager)..

congratulations, i'm sorry.. you're an E50 now, but you will handle us two E40's and an ever moody E30.. that's a total of E110 and we got you outnumbered.. lol..

we were talking yesterday just before we got out of the office.. he saw me doing some last minute workstuff.. he said, "..nagbago ka na ah", i told him, "op kors, manager na kita e.. tsaka iniisip ko kasing walang silbi ang manager ko.. motivation ba" then he answered, "ay.. totoo yan!"

we both had a hearty laugh..

sea snake, jose cuervo, at iba pa.. rev. 1

it's seldom that you experience something so great in life that you find you're vocabulary still lacking the proper words to describe it.. and since it's so rare, you simply don't want to forget everything that was in it.. as much as i would like to take everything into account in this blog.. okay, so i don't want to write something that long.. if i do, i'll sell it as my first book.. so i'll just jot down words that would always remind me of last saturday ('til sunday), our fabulous ii4onebatch94 reunion at balacbacan beach resort, laiya, san juan, batangas.. in chronological order now..

(the life and death of the party).. andro, with his 500kmph na pagtatagay.. tekilang bitin (shud have bought four).. san miguel grande (the great extender).. midnight beach race.. stargazing drunk.. walang lumabas na meteor.. :( theyie, aka the bangenge runner-up.. setay, the night's bangenge queen, nagtatawag ng uwak sa toilet bowl (setay: uwaaakkk!! uwaaaakk!).. me, the babysitter of the year.. truth or truth.. and a thousand blind items from it.. tulog sa sahig.. andro's one big happy morning fart.. dingding lang ang pagitan.. mga kwentong bastos ni bobet (paktay na wak lang tigil!!!).. egg festival na breakfast.. movie 1: idol.. bibo films.. movie 2: nemfa.. kodakan to the max.. the long traffic-marred way home..

baLisong

rico blanco at his best..

Your face lights up the sky on the highway.
Someday, you'll share your world with me someday.
You mesmerize me with diamond eyes;
I try to fool myself to think I'll be alright.
But I am losing all control -
My mind, my heart, my body and my soul

Never in my life have I been more sure,
So come on up to me and close the door.
Nobody's made me feel this way before;
You're everything I wanted and more.

To speak or not to; where to begin.
The way dilemmas I'm finding myself in.
For all I know you only see me as a friend.
I try to tell myself wake up fool; this fairy tale's got to end.

Never in my life have I been more sure,
So come on up to me and close the door.
Nobody's made me feel this way before;
You're everything I wanted (more)

You're everything I wanted..




oh well..

nga pala, dalawang tulog na lang.. wag kaya ako matulog ngayon para isa na lang.. hehe..

Bang Bang..

i watched kill bill volume 1 just last night.. i had just one comment at the end of the movie.. hayup, linteeeekk!!

that was.. bloody. the story's great.. uma thurman, it seems to me is a perfect quentin tarantino material (remember pulp fiction?).. and lucy liu and her crazy 88 bunch was just like taken from the rorouni kenshin animé series.. and i liked her crazy-pretty-seventeen-year-old-chick personal bodyguard Gogo.. hehehe.. and finally, the soundtrack is simply amazing.. it kept tarantino's reputation of assembling an eclectic line-up, yet effectively brings the movie to an awesome auditory level..

that was one hell of a plasma-squirting ride..

para sa batch..

it was one pretty cool night last night, as the organizers of the coming iifour-onebatch94 out-of town-reunion wined, dined, and sung their throat out.. well, after doing some organizing, of course..

andro picked me up at my place around 4 pm, then off we went to memel's place since doc was still on her way home.. watched sumo wrestling and harry potter for a while, then at around 5 pm, doc was finally home.. so we took off and we're finally in our first meeting place.. after a minute, setay arrived with the first thing that came into my mind when i saw her car coming.. the pizza.. it was.. hawaiian.. darn.. but it was good.. i had three of the eight slices.. and we were 5..

after the eating, we called up some former classmates, trying to confirm if they're IN or OUT for the event.. i think we were able to talk to only two people.. the first one was short of saying no, and the other one was trying to buy a package deal with two other people.. oh well.. and so glady came in late, fresh from EK, and then we proceeded to rojonet.. bobet was already there when we came.. then kambaliza, the class prez, followed suit..



from left: glads, doc theyie, setay, andro, memel, LoN, bobet..



from left: glads, doc theyie, setay, andro, memel, bobet, kambaliza..

it was dinner time, so we ordered our food first.. with some people singing on the side.. after we were full (i bet andro was the pinakabusog, hehehe), we went full throttle on the planning, finalizing the food and and the meeting place, gave our 500 bucks contribution (while waiting for the 'remittances' of classmates from abroad), and distributing each one's assignment.. i had the most intoxicating task, figuratively.. i'll buy two jose cuervos (for the 'shoot'.. it's on me and setay) and some lemons (for the 'suck' part).. me asin (lick) naman siguro sa beach.. and after that, kantahang umaatikabo na, hehe.. we even left the place long after the owner left us.. not so bad for a planning session.. great night.. too bad i missed a call that shouldn't be missed.. you can't really have it all in life, hehe..

it's 6 days to go and i just hope andro's deal with God (or so he says) not to let it rain on the 29th doesn't screw up.. amen.

on my television: lamang na ang indiana sa detroit, aaaargh..!!

til next blarbs.. peace..

intertropical convergence zone..

here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory.. awraaaayt.. hinde pa man tapos ang bilangan, wala pa mang hunyo, wala pa man akong gelpren, e bumabagyo na sa pilipinas.. crap, i haven't changed my jacket in 3 years.. it's a gift, actually.. i gotta buy a new one.. it's called the rainy-days fashion.. it's also the time of the season where everyone around you is either sneezing or mimicking a doberman, so be extra careful.. when in doubt about the weather, bring at least a jacket, if you're not an umbrella-person.. don't be a suicidal like me, hehe.. like i did last monday, all winds and rain, yet in bare shirt and jeans though i know i'll be going home late that night.. stubborn is a word made for me.. and one more, take your vitamins.. it helps.. one thing's for sure, masarap matulog nang maaga the past few nights.. that reminds me.. time to hibernate.. til next blog..

p.s. doc, setay (mga masisipag dumalaw dito), please pray hard not to rain on the 29th and the 30th.. dat wud sak big taym..

peace..

in too deep..

there are things to be done which can be done one way.. and there are things to be done several ways.. the rightful way to one may be the opposite way to another.. and doing that one way may hurt someone doing the other way.. fact of life is, being righteous knows no compromise.. and that could entail giving up everything that one holds dear.. we do have a choice, a free will.. but in the end, the choices that we make today will make us what we'll be tomorrow.. and regret is not an option.. it hurts big time..

i'll call it a day.. working saturday awaits.. until then..

this wedding sucks..

it was no wedding of the year, if people attendance is to be the gauge.. blame it partially on the rain which almost ruined the occasion.. but anyway despite the relatively private affair wherein we saw only family members and several close friends of the couple, it was a pretty big event in our lives, specially us, the “ever-there” cohorts of the groom.. unfortunately (or fortunately) jerry and I weren't sitting side by side during the ceremony (he is the worst, er.. best man so he was somewhere nearer the couple) or the priest could have thrown us out of the imus cathedral.. we just cant imagine lynyrd getting married that much that we could have described silly to each other every little things that was happening during the wedding.. and that could be quite loud with lots of stupid giggles at the side.. so finally he got married.. and I uttered the words “this sucks” at least 30 times this day.. it was already yesterday actually..

so I was asked to light their way.. duh.. cant they light it before we come to save me and my partner the trouble.. hehehe.. along with me on the lighting trip was tintin, apparently doc ahyin’s (the bride) best buddy in college.. we saw each other again after several years.. she looks pretty same.. and shes also a dentist now..

I dont usually listen to catholic priests blarbs (goodness, I dont even go to church anymore) but somehow I managed to listen since I have no one to talk to anyway.. surprisingly, the priest talked with so much sense.. just like those forwarded articles on e-mail about relationships.. so logical and so biblical..

The reception was held in the clubhouse of centennial homes subdivision.. the food was nice and the tables were placed around the pool.. it took us sometimes before we got to eat because the friggin host was late.. and its part of the reception program to announce the arrival of the entourage.. while waiting, lynyrd was telling me “ pare sa dasma yata nakarating, naligaw na.. ” referring to dasmarinas town which is roughly 15 kilometers from our location.. and there and then I said “ this sucks ” for about the 26th time.. anyway, she finally came, we got to eat, saw some friends and former classmates (including the one which I forgot to ask for her number), doc tintin caught the bouquet, jerry got the garter, they did the “ higher! ” thing, and they even danced and jerry got to give her a buss on the cheek.. cool..

We finally left the place (we waited for quite a while for our ride home) at around 11 pm, carrying each a music cd souvenir containing the couples choice love songs.. I went straight home while jerry accompanied her girlfriend home.. it was.. well.. a day..

it's 5 days to go and several million of us will cast our votes to oblivion.. hopefully not.. i won't make this long though, let us all just pray for an honest and clean, if not intelligent, election on May 10..

just came into my mind.. if this dude is still alive and running, i would definitely go for him.. and i owe no explanations to anyone.. well maybe just one.. we share the same birth date..

more than meets the eye..

who would have thought that i'd be thankful traffic policemen are non-existent during the wee hours.. definitely not me, but i did just this morning at around 1:30 am.. we were aboard our friend's car, he's driving us to baclaran for our ride home.. tinatahak namin yung kahabaan ng p. ocampo (formerly vito cruz.. who is he anyway?) galing kaming sta. ana.. so we crossed osmena hi-way, and we headed towards taft avenue.. then after a few seconds, a huge (yeah, sinlaki ni optimus prime) truck was casually on the collision path with us.. surprised as we were, it's just afterwards we realized that we headed on a one-way street.. goodness, Lino's (the driver) young driving career was almost tainted.. with violation ticket at the very least.. more if we didn't get off the truck's way early.. lesson of the event: stop, look, and look for something to read..

actually we just came from eloise's place, had a short choir practice, and then kainan na (my main objecive, hehe..) ng world famous sisig ni fionski.. plus the host served us spaghetti which ginawa naming kanin sa sisig.. then sabay salang ng videoke cd's.. it was nice to see them masag dudes and dudettes again, plus the newbie jeff (bombero), which i expect will be a permanent fixture on future EB gatherings.. we finally met aves who came with her guy, kim.. then sumabit din si jefferson (toink) who met the group for the first time.. he was just around pedro gil at that time so ronnie decided to bring him in.. and then there was eloise's jolly kuya gary which roams on masag also.. and also i got to see former classmate/seatmate ria again.. it was a great evening really, capping the event with the sta. ana gurls' (eloise, fiona, ivy, ria) version of "basang basa sa ulan.." pamatay-litid ang version nila, i'm telling you..

i was supposed to watch hellboy today with my future lawyer.. but she didn't call or even send me SMS yesterday, so i assumed that she can't go out today.. besides, i woke up late today anyway.. eventually, she called me to confirm everything.. another missed movie, i should say.. the perils of being single.. you miss the movies that you not-so-want to watch.. hehehe..

blogged so early..? well, i'll be out of the house this evening (most probably for the rest of Labor Day), gonna go to Lynyrd's house (the-inevitable-groom) and perform a ritual called "patayang-inuman.." yeah, the dude and his girlfriend tooth-doc arlene will be having their wedding next week, May 8.. no, i don't think we'll be having a stag party-type thing tonight.. most probably we'll just drink his last bachelor days away.. but if he has other plans, well i'm not complaining..

feel.. don't think.. use your instincts.. duh..

is there anyone of you guys (am i talking to someone here..?!) have tried KFC's crispy strips..? it's still chicken of course, but i kinda liked it's taste, somewhat different from the usual sensation that my taste buds get whenever i eat KFC's chicken.. and no bones.. the best part of it.. i was friggin hungry when we left the office today at around quarter to eight, and mother delivered a not-so-good news through the ever-reliable SMS about what's waiting for me in our dining table.. since i'll pass by the mall on my way.. lintek bakit ba nothing compares 2 u.. wait.. yan.. ok.. anyway, so i decided to drop by at SM, hanap-hanap ng makakainan.. my instinct, as always, brought me to mcdonald's first.. it was 8:30 pm already, the food rack's almost empty.. i was almost sure that a ready "i'm sorry sir wala na po" is coming my way once i ask for a big mac.. so i left and went to KFC.. up to the last second, i was undecided what to eat until the lady in the counter asked for my order.. i just blurted out the first thing that i saw on the lighted billboard.. and the rest was history.. one of the rare times that my intuition worked well..

it's quite a busy week for us at work, i can't wait for the weekend to come.. pero makikikain muna kami sa sta. ana ng sisig before having precious saturday and sunday.. it's a choir practice of the alimasag glee club kuno, hehehe.. it'll be a great chillout to cap a hectic week..

it's late.. must.. sleep.. it's silverchair on winamp.. "miss you love.." NBA Live 2004 on PS2.. KoC on my browser.. crap on my blog.. hehehe.. later..

thursday thingies: part deux..

Newton's 3rd law of apple.. er, motion states that for every action, there's an opposite and equal reaction.. no dudes, i didn't come across with an old Physics book, it's just that the kinda same thing happened at work today.. after being a full blown company liability yesterday, suddenly the bosses have requirements left and right.. plus throw in them useless japs overseas who bugs you by asking to count stuff which came from them anyway.. goodness, don't they keep track of things.. or maybe they thought the quantity will change once we count them in arabic numerals, hehehehe.. like ronnie, my colleague, said, "binawian ka lang.." how true..

While writing this, I'm watching the mod squad (claire danes, omar epps, giovanni ribisi) on studio 23.. i was about to turn off the televison set when i saw the opening scenes, and i found it interesting.. okay, i saw claire first so i found her interesting.. seriously, i think this movie is cool, it's about three convicted juveniles given another chance to live a useful life by serving as undercovers.. sounds shallow, but as the movie progresses, it starts to highlight the different characters and their emotions.. at inlove na naman ako kay claire danes, hehehe..

it's friggin' hot.. i want to dip in the pool.. now.. unfortunately my only scheduled summer getaway is still due next month.. damn, i hope the temperature wouldn't drop a bit by the time we finally get off or i wouldn't enjoy it much.. attention setay, can we schedule it earlier, who knows it might be winter already next week.. puhleease..?!

lastly, i did some rounds last night, visiting blogsites of some people for my C&D (copy and development, hehe).. i found aves and ivy's (alimasag dudettes) works outstanding.. of course, suplada's thing was great, but like in a math problem, it is already given.. what did i get from my visita-bloglesia..? wala.. hehehe.. just read them blarbs and stuff.. pampaantok..

blog upgrades..

please bear with this..

poopy..

poopy.. that's how to describe, for a lack of a better word, the entire day for me.. it's a jargon among us group of four poopy individuals.. it's a general term for anything that displeases us.. enough with that.. we joined the company outing this day, though it was almost enjoyable.. the place still sucks, food distribution sucked once more, and the weather was hell.. save for a place near the beach, but heck, i just can't stay there the whole day and sit still.. and the worst thing of it all.. i wasn't drunk.. so therefore nagpagod lang ako ngayung araw.. hindi na tuloy ako nakasama sa badminton game this evening.. there were some bright moments pala kanina.. yeah, the girls, hehe.. took my pictures with them.. some were willing, some were forced.. but some asked me to pose with them, nyahahaha..

it's a good thing na pinagpaliban ko muna ang pagpunta ko kanina sana sa greenhills, bibili sana ko ng PS2 titles.. dampoopy na kasi dito sa CD Square sa RP, walang mga bago.. meron somewhere inside Lotus Mall, pero anlaki ng patong nila, most likely 100% additional from the wholesale price.. wut the, mamatay na sana mga alaga nilang hayop.. i'm really looking forward to have Resident Evil: Outbreak.. i kinda miss that series.. i last played and completed Resident Evil 3, though before that, i already played RE: Code Veronica sa Sega Dreamcast.. that was my first videogame console.. believe me, i never had my own Nintendo Family Computer..

thursday thingies..

thursday.. another insignificantly insignificant day for me.. pero teka.. yeah, on my way home i saw on two different occassions a pair of fornicating mutts.. could someone interpret that for me please, i might be in for something big, nyahahaha.. daheck.. we have a new manager on board, she came from the same Business Unit (BU) where i came from more than a year ago.. what, me, adjust to her style..?! like i have a choice.. still on my tail is that anonymous texter, whom when i asked her identity for the last time, just gave a very casual reply of "a friend.. (plus the u with the umlaot)" when you've got a friend like this, who needs a mystery novel.. anyway, he/she doesn't affect me a bit.. mother just talked to a woman who called from Switzerland (ain't that cool..) inquiring about a case they filed against her husband for molesting (or raping, i dunnow exactly) their child since the age of eight.. i tell you man, it's her biological father who did it to her.. some demon he is.. the daughter is now 22 years old.. i told mother to ask the woman if she can find me a job there.. hehehe.. you can never tell.. the day's not over for me though, still have to fix this thing's layout.. and if i can save some time, i might have a game or two.. NBA Live 2004.. cool..
