ENTRY 9: FULL GEEK MODE

Some more geekiness for me this week... This time, im all about the video games... If im living in the United States, still in high school, and people find out about this, I probably would have had some major wedgies coming my way... Good thing here in the Philippines geeks are cool!!! I can buy all the comic books I want and still, i wont get beat up... Hey those things are very good investments... BUt im not here to talk about comicbooks... Its all about the video games....

Im not a ps2 addict... although i have one... i love RPG (that's role playing games for you non-addicts)... i dont have quick fingers so im not much into the whole shooting games... And I am a HUGE fan of the Resident Evil and Final Fantasy franchise... Oh yeah, Im buying Kingdom Hearts 2 tomorrow... And am eagerly awaiting for the release of the english version of Final Fantasy 12... Im also starting to save my money to buy either an XBox 360 or a PS3... Im on full geek mode today, so forgive me if im ranting about these things... Believe me, this does NOT make me a techie... Am still confused about the whole ipod thingies... maybe if someone buy me one, then id have an idea how to use it... hehehe... actually, 'til now 4 months with my k750i, and i haven't discovered the full potential of my phone... I may be a geek, but im not a dork...

My job's stressful, and i only have these to get me to relax... A movie's only helpful for like a couple of hours... Games get me going for more than that... And if i dont have a job, id be doing that for days non-stop... Hmmm....let me see, i dont have a new game now, and thats a good thing because i really dont want to go to work tonight.... Sigh!!!

Games that I suggest you try out...

RESIDENT EVIL 4: kick-ass graphics and all those cool im-playing-and-screaming-and-just-dropped-my-conroller moment... I recommend you play it in the dark... its creepy... scary... and so much fun to play...

FINAL FANTASY X: speaking of kickass graphics and cool gameplay... this game... perfection... 'nuff said!!!

SPLINTER CELL: Sam Fisher... the coolest guy in the world... Playing this game, makes you want to be a black ops operative too... the graphics (specially the lighting) is one of the best out there... Add the awesome awesome gameplay... If only i werent stuck in one of the stages in Korea, id still be playing it...

GRAND THEFT AUTO: Take your pick... if you're a sadist, id suggest you play this game... I love running people over with my car, and just am into wrecking havoc all over liberty city and san andreas... I didnt even know there were missions to this game... I just love running around the city with my chainsaw and rocket launcher...

GRAN TURISMO: I dont play this game to race... I just love to ogle at the picturesque scenery... THis is not about gaming... its all about aesthetics... Youve got thousands of cars to choose from (all of which looks real)... the best racing game in the market...

METAL GEAR SOLID: Solid Snake rocks!!! My first taste of the tactical espionage game, and I was blown away... its all about being covert... Too preachy at times... but its all good...

ENTRY 8: TAGALOG ULIT

Hehehe... eto nanaman ako at pahihirapan ang sarili ko sa pagsulat ng makabagong talaarawan sa wikang aking kinalakhan... namamawis nanaman ulit ako sa loob ng kwarto ko dahil mahirap magisip ng mga sasabihin...

Ngayon ako ay naaadik sa friendster (patawarin po ako at di ko po alam ang tagalog ng salitang ito)... marami-rami narin ang mga kaibigan ko dito... at medyo madami narin akong naisusulat sa talaarawan ng sapot-paningin (literal na translation ng website... corny!!!) na ito... at ako ay masayang ipaalam sa inyo na kilala ko halos lahat ng kaibigan ko dun... mga katrabaho, kaklase at mga kaibigan... ngunit nakapagtataka na walang istranghero ang nagdadagdag sa akin para gawin akong kaibigan... hmmm...

Maiikli lang ang mga sinusulat ko ngayong mga araw dahil sobrang walang laman ang utak ko kundi ang trabaho... Sa edad na bente-kwatro ay ako ang naatasan na magpatakbo ng programa namin sa aking kumpanyang pinaglilingkuran... Di ko pa natitikman ang kapalit ng mga pinaghirapan ko ngunit malapit na ulit ang sweldo... Sana lang wala akong katrabaho na nagbabasa nito... May alam akong 2 tao na nagbubukas nito kasi mas alam nila ang blog ko sa friendster... di naman ako nagrereklamo pero napapagod lang ako...

KAILANGAN KO NG ISANG LINGGONG BAKASYON!!!

Hanggang dito na lang muna... ako ay magpapagupit pa para mas lalong gumuwapo...

ENTRY 6: BEING MR RIGHT

Honestly, at my age, i hardly think of myself as Mr. Right... I could be that guy... just not at this point in time... Im more of a Mr. Right NOw... It's all about having fun... This is the time of my life where Im enjoying being single... Being straight to the point... I mean having casual encounters... Yeah, I believe in true love... i'd like to believe that all of us do... But if it's not right now, i would not deprive myself of the fun and cool experiences that these things bring to people... I know this will raise some eyebrows, but if you think of it, Im right in a way...

Im not writing this to justify my being active sexually... And just to make it clear, Im not very active when it comes to that... All im saying is that there is nothing wrong with being with other people while you haven't found the right one... There are a lot of people who go through a lot of boyfriends or girlfriends before they met the ONE... In this day and age, it's quite rare to find a couple who hasn't done IT at one point in time in their relationship... im like that... Honestly speaking, its good practice...

Now when you think you find the right one... And when you tell them about your past... If that person really loves you, then he or she will accept you whatever past you have... Of course you have to make it known that that person IS and WILL BE the LAST PERSON you will be with in your life... Give her the assurance that you will be loyal to that relationship, for as long as you are together...

My time to do that hasn't come yet... Eventually it will... But right this time... I will settle for being MR RIGHT NOW

ENTRY 5: THE NOTHING POST

Let's talk about nothing... and when i say nothing, I mean anything under the sun... Its really a miracle that i can post now from work... normally this site is blocked by our very competent IT people... Hopefully I wont get demoted because of this... Ive been barely a month as the campaign's back-up supervisor, and i dont want to give up on it right away... Oh by the way, I got promoted to this position about three weeks ago...

I went to Batangas over the weekend to celebrate 2 years of making annoying calls to Wolverine's kababayans... Can you imagine that... I lasted TWO years in one campaign... let alone one company... Well, this IS only my second job... And to think ive been ranting and bitching about leaving this company for over a year now... They've given me a reason to stay for at least a few more weeks or months...

So the Batangas trip... yeah, its given me some back pains from swimming without stretching first... but it was great fun... we did our little version of The Amazing Extra Challenge and Bring It On... yep, people got their money's worth on phones and digital cameras... I believe over a thousand pictures were taken that two days we were there...

It seems that there is SOMETHING that i can talk about right now... Huh, who'd have thought... I hope that this downtime with websense happens often...

ENTRY 4: MY BIRTHDAY

iM not going to let my birthday pass without writing any blog entries... yeah... im 24!!! and what a way to celebrate my birthday... i did nothing... I decided to rest on my birthday... it was a special day and i don't want to get stressed out because of work.. that would be the job of my co-coaches.. i dont want to be a jackass on my birthday, so i just have to get a well-deserved r&r...

There's one thing that I DID NOT expect to do on my birthday... I GOT OVER A STUPID INFATUATION!!! After almost a year of pining, drooling, and daydreaming... I already got over it... No more... I realized that i mean nothing to that person, and she does not deserve my attention... So now, i will have NONE OF THAT...

Good thing though is that I was able to celebrate my birthday with some of my close friends and really delicious food... Oh im never going to lose weight because of this... Its so sad...

ENTRY 3: THE COMIC GEEK

One of my more luxurious hobbies of course is collecting comic books... Since I was a kid, i've always loved reading comic books... I remember my first comic book was Xmen 3 if im not mistaken it was the first appearance of Omega Red... although im not sure about the number, but its his first appearance... Anyway, right now im collecting about 10 books this month... just want to tell you about it.

ASTONISHING X-MEN this one is written by the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer... I love the comedy, the intrigue, the action... its one of the brilliant titles ive read (at least the first 12 issues)... the team is back and thats what Im looking forward to be reading in a couple of weeks.

INCREDIBLE HULK its Planet Hulk... Marvel is doing a lot of hype around this title, and I read a lot of good reviews when issue 92 came out... so i picked up a copy so now im hooked... It reads like the movie Gladiator with Russel Crowe (and Im such a huge fan of that film)... I cant help it, I want to know how the jade giant will eventually kick ass when he comes back to planet earth

NEW AVENGERS Brian Michael Bendis may have a lot of haters in the comic community, but i love his work... it may seem decompressed at times but the stories are well worth it... he writes funny and effective lines which will either make you laugh or make you think... I love this title mainly because of Spider-woman. SHe is smoking HOT!!! drool alert.. but this title is nice...

INFINITE CRISIS I only read 2 titles from DC, and this is one of them... I got hooked with the company when I first read Identity Crisis a couple of years ago. Thats when I realized that this company knows how to write events comics... They make my wallet lighter, but the thing is, when you read Geoff Johns' lines, you'll feel that its all worth it.

JUSTICE the other DC title that i read... Its a mini series, but it comes out every other month. That is why I like it.. it lessens the burden of me buying a lot of titles every month. The story is intriguing, and the paintings are beautiful. Its about the Justice League and the Legion of Doom. An updated version of that one, but you know that someone will really get hurt this time.

ULTIMATES 2 Mark Millar's version of The Avengers in a different universe... It politically charged, but the action is really one of the most kick-ass titles that come out every other month. Its one hell of a roller coaster ride that does not seem to end... Its 3 issues away from ending, but all the intrigue, action and everything won't seem to slow down. Easily one of the best titles Im reading these days... Plus the art is so detailed, it doesn't look like a comic book. Its like you're watching a big budget summer movie.

XMEN DEADLY GENESIS This is the first time I read a title by Ed Brubaker... Its somewhat intriguing, and its a mini-series.. I like how he handles the characters (too bad one of my favorite mutants died)... The ending's been spoiled to me already, but I want to see where it goes...

SON OF M is about Quicksilver, the son of Magneto.. It seems that he was the one responsible in turning the whole world upside down during the HOuse of M miniseries... this title follows what happened after his sister stripped a lot of mutants, including him, of their powers... This series hints that he's going to be one of the main villainous players in the Marvel Universe, so Im following this til the end... yep, Pietro's an asshole!!! And Im loving it...

XMEN THE 198... err, i dont really know what the story is about... but it seems that this one follows the rest of the mutants who didnt lose their powers after the HOuse of M... They're using the X mansion as their refuge... but when you've got a place where all kinds of personalities come together, it seems that something not good will come out of it... I dont know what it is yet, but Im very interested to find out...

So thats my pull list as of this month...

ENTRY 2: CHEATER

ENTRY 1: THE YEAR I LEARNED TO READ

It took me 22 days to write my first journal entry for the year... I don't want to put this on my was-not-able-to-do-this-year list... I might need a miracle, but i'll make sure that 2006 will see a hundred blog entries from your friendly neighborhood gillboard...

I've been on a book streak this month... Three books read since the year started... And they were really good too... One was from an author who I've avoided and detested ever since I learned to read fiction.

Week 1: Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
It's about a trend spotter who's job is to find out the origin of an online video that's having a cult following all over the cyberworld... It's like a spy story without the thrilling action and all the intrigue... it's a good book if you're into industrial espionage... Not really my cup of tea, but still did enjoy the story...

Week 2: Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz
The day that Jimmy was born, it was predicted that he will go through five horrendous days in his life... I am not a fan of Dean Koontz, nor am I familiar with his works, this is the first book he wrote that I read, and I was not disappointed... It's funny, there are times that I can't put the book down, even if I really needed to go to the toilet, there are also times that the story seems to go nowhere, but still in the end I got enchanted...

Week 3: The Broker by John Grisham
I don't know why I avoided reading books from this author... I am interested in all things law (although I've no plans of being a lawyer)... But I'm scared of reading his titles... Maybe it's because when i first read his book I was too young to understand the deep things that he was talking about... This was his first foray to spy stories, and to tell you the truth, he reintroduced me to insomnia... I finished half of his book in one sitting... I only slept two hours last Tuesday because of him...

Week 4: Absolute Friends by John Le Carre
Im halfway through this book so I cant really tell you too much about this book... I've been reading this for more than a month now... This week, Im planning on finishing this, before I move on to another title.

2006 TO-DO LIST

2005 - ho-hum year for me... Medyo boring ang 2005 for me so to make the next year different, gagawa ako ng to-do list for 2006... something like a New Year's Resolution pero hindi... di ko kasi alam ang ibig sabihin ng resolution... Hahahaha!!!

REJUVENATED

Ive been trying very hard to update my blog these past few days... if you only knew how many intos ive written since my last blog... anyway, i think im a bit rejuvinated right now... none of the writer's block ive been having these last few weeks... Hopefully!!!

Got the hang of my new phone... after one week, i think ive overloaded its memory already... no more space for pictures and mp3's... i think excitement over the phone is a bit of an understatement...hehehe... i still haven't learned how to put those cute little smiley faces on my blogs... if i have time, i might post some of our pictures here on my next blog...

Anyway, it's three more days before Christmas... Im actually forced now to buy gifts for some of my peers because they've given me presents already (some are planning wink wink)... being the typical guy, i really have NO idea what to give them back... can i just give them a hug and a kiss?! Yeah, and i think i need to buy my boss something nice too, given that most of my colleagues bought something special for her... this is where having a girlfriend comes in handy...

FRUIT OF LABOR

Aah the eagerly anticipated 13th month pay... its about goddarn time we got it... I work my ass off the entire year incurring only a few absences (but a lot of leaves... well deserved if you knew what i do here in the office) and i think its about time i get all those blood sweat and tears' worth...

I guess i was one of the happiest little construction worker yesterday when i finally received my salary... three times what im getting on a biweekly basis... THANK GOD!!! So now the question is... what do i do with all this money?!

The most sensible answer would be buy my godchildren, friends and family gifts for the season... Yeah right!!! Im a selfish SOB and i believe i deserve something good for myself this Christmas... So what i did is i bought myself a new cellphone... an ERICSSON K750i... Quite pricey but i do believe is worth every penny (do we have it in this coutry?! pennies?!)...

i have a new baby!!! And i think its about time...

AFTER 2 WEEKS

I have this bad case of writer's block going on these days... i haven't been writing down here because i just don't know what to write... its stupid really but my mind's just blank... BLANK!!!

While i was gone, i was eavesdropping on other people's lives (reading other blogs)... I've been heavily considering copying and pasting other people's entries and put them all here... but of course i don't have the balls to do that... i know im giving other people ideas here... hehehe (i never got to learn adding those darn smileys)...

Anyway, as usual im at work right now as i always am when i do my blogging... i don't get to do this at home... im giving away freebies tonight... bubble radio, teddy bear, cd cases and calculators... its Christmas, what can i say... Ive decided not to be a grinch this season in the hopes of receiving my wish this year...

I'd better shut my mouth about wishes... from personal experience, once i mentioned what i wanted, it usually does not come true... Oh well...

GAANO KABATA KA PA?

Ako aminado ako na ako'y 23 anyos na ngayon... Medyo bata at medyo sariwa pa... Pero ibang-iba na... nagsusulat ako sa tagalog kasi, iniisip ko na medyo mas madali kong maihahayag ang aking mga saluobin kapag naisulat ko ito sa wikang aking kinalakihan...

At speaking of kinalakihan, etong aking itatala ngayon (napakalalim ba?!) ay tungkol sa aking kabataan... Kung kayong mga nakakabasa nito ay kasing-edad ko, baka makarelate kayo sa mga isinusulat ko... kasi gaya ko, lumaki din kayo noong huling taon ng dekada otsenta at mga unang taon ng dekada nobenta (80s at 90s sa mga di masyadong matatas sa wikang filipino)...

Noong bata pa ako...

- paborito naming mga laro ay monkey monkey, langit lupa, patintero, block 123 (o cops and robbers), dr quack quack, taguan (sa ilalim ng buwan), bahay-bahayan, at ang sarili niyong version ng takeshi's castle...
- matatapos lang ang laro niyo kapag naririnig niyo nang sumisitsit ang nanay niyo... para matulog sa hapon o kumain ng tanghalian...
- cool ka kung meron ka ng mga sumusunod: family computer na may built in na 101 games, game and watch, mga sticker books ng ghostbusters, tom and jerry, care bears at spider-man
- nagsuot ka ng cross colors na shorts... habang sumasayaw ng howgee...
- pinaiyak ka ni princess sarah, pero nainis ka kay cedie... naawa ka sa aso ni melo, at naaliw ka sa kakulitan ni maria at pamily von trapp...
- nakakarelate ka kapag naririnig mo ito: shigishigi makashigi luwa
- alam mo ang step at bawat pose ni mask rider black... at nagagawa mo ang mga hand gesticulations ng bioman...
- nagbabasa ka ng funny komiks at nainis ka dahil di mo alam kung nabuhay ang force one animax
- ayaw mong magsimba kapag linggo ng hapon dahil hindi mo mapapanood sina ultraman at magmaman
- hindi uso ang magic cards... kundi ang mga pekeng superhero cards ang ginagamit niyo sa paglalaro ng teks...
- kilala mo sina enteng kabisote, ina magenta, fey, aiza, prinsipe k, pipoy at bale ng ok ka fairy ko
- ang mga sexy star noon ay sina rita avila, sheila ysrael, gretchen baretto at cesar montano
- memorize mo ang anak ng pasig, paraiso, da coconut song ng smokey mountain
- dapat meron kang laruan ng teenage mutant ninja turtles, gi joe, dino riders, transformers, ghostbusters, thundercats, he-man at she-ra...
- inabutan mo si judiel at ang milagro ng dancing sun...
- matinding magkaribal noon ang minute burger at burger machine... Makakapal pa ang mga patties at buns ng mga burgers nila...
- napanuod mo sa regal presents ang kokak ni rachel lobangco...
- pinabili mo sa magulang mo ang mga betamax ng beauty and the beast, lion king at aladdin
- ang laman ng palayok na binabasag ay mga serg chocolate, at goya...
- may lamang mga laruan ang milo, ovaltine sustagen at may kasama pang gameboard na yari sa papel...
- naadik ka sa mga libreng laruan ng cheezums at chickadees (yung kamay na dumidikit sa dingding na shape ng kamay, etc.)

Hehe... ang kabataan nga naman noon... Napakasimple ng buhay...

RANTS AND RAVES

I have rewritten this blog entry three times now... And each time, my opening gets worse and worse... so im settling with this one for now... unless i come up with something witty later, then im going to start with something new again... BUT, im not going to delete this opening the next time...

Last weekend, i started out on my new hobby... more like my new SPORT!!! Yes people, i have a sport now... after 23 years of being a couch potato and tv addict... i finally picked on something to get my body to sweat... WALL CLIMBING... Im still new to the whole experience that i still have some aching muscles to tend to right now... But over-all im feeling better than when i first tried out climbing a wall... Im not a sissy boy anymore!!! A couple of weeks ago, i didn't even have the strength to type on my computer... My fingers didn't even have the strength to write... I was having trouble signing autographs!!!

Anyway, its 1:41 and im still typing... Im multitasking right now... im opening campaigns, fixing time zones... getting people to leave OUR stations... sigh... its a lot of hard work (and those silly agents think us coaches are doing nothing)... Hopefully the pay would be good...

Enough rantings about my work... I didn't start a web log just to bitch and moan about my job...I change my mind... I want to right now... Im just suppressing myself... What a way to start the week... JUST THREE MORE DAYS BEFORE MY LEAVE... THREE MORE DAYS BEFORE MY LEAVE... THREE MORE DAYS BEFORE MY LEAVE... Im pissed off right now... 2:13 am... Like in my previous posts, im not name dropping...

Anyway, its 2:30 so i need to work now... ill be back though for a few more moaning... and not the sexual kind....

SCENT OF A MAN

I have this crazy hobby of collecting expensive things... Mostly just comic books and perfumes... Comic books... Well for me they are investments... Good investments... cuz their value appreciates over time... Perfumes... because i just want to smell good...

The following are my favorite scents... on me:

1. Victoria's Secret Very Sexy (for men of course)
2. Ralph Lauren Polo Blue
3. Perry Ellis 360 degrees
4. Hugo Dark Blue
5. Marks & Spencer Isis
6. Lacoste Pour Homme
7. Davidoff Cool Waters
8. Hugo Boss
9. Marks & Spencer Detail
10. Givenche Rouge (sorry for the wrong spelling)

I don't know how I got into collecting perfumes... But right now i think ive got like fifteen perfume bottles (both filled and empty) on my dresser... I believe i got this from my father... I remember my dad having a lot of perfumes when i was younger... i liked it back then... but now looking back... it sort of smells like ones that Dirty Old Men wear...

I still have some more perfumes that i want to buy (or if Im lucky will be given to me this Christmas)... Polo Black smells great... Armani Black Code smells really good too... and then there's Lacoste Essentials which is an addictive scent... and The Body Shop's Scent of a Man because the scent stays for a long time...

I guess i just like to smell good so that it would compensate for me sometimes looking dirty... hehehe

PRELUDE TO PRE QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS

Don't get me wrong here... Im not being desperate or disheartened or depressed... Its just that Ive noticed lately that my life's been changing... I haven't had the time to reflect on whether Ive changed for the better or the worse, but I know that there are some things that I don't do anymore...

My tv viewing habit (which I REALLY love) has been radically changed... Actually, I don't have one anymore... I blame my work for that... Darn stupid schedule... Suddenly tv shows aren't that interesting to me... Gone were the days when I go gaga over Katie Holmes on Dawson's Creek... I haven't been able to follow the shows that i really like... Although some of them lost the magic and realism that's made me an avid fan (ie 24, Alias, Survivor and Smallville)... Now, I find myself watching National Geographic, Discovery and Donald Trump's Apprentice...

My radio's a bit soft now... Back when i was in high school and college, I've been a fan of Magic 89.9... I'd join contests... Religiously follow their countdowns and just try to be updated on the latest songs... But now, I find their songs uninteresting and loud... Im more mellow... I rarely watch MTV (I feel Im not one of their target market anymore)...

Being single is cool now... When before, I was like desperate to be in a relationship, now I have all the reasons to say being single is one of the best things anyone could ever be... I know having a partner has its perks, but you could still be alone but not lonely...

Anyway, i guess its a sign of maturity... Im not having a crisis... yet!!! Im not nearing my thirties (thank God!)... Still a few more years for that...But anyway I think im armed and ready to face whatever adulthood has to put in front of me... Ive got the guts and the balls for a little crisis management...

HOW WAS YOUR FIRST TIME?!

How was my first time? After twenty-three years of existence, yesterday was my first time... It was exhilirating... My muscles are aching... My fingers are sore... Ive got bruises all over my hands and arms... and my back... oh you don't want me to start with my back... GOD!!! My back hurts like hell...

But before you think "what the f&*k is that guy doing?!" no... i did not hook up with a dominatrix (although there are times when i wish i did)... but thats another story... real gentlemen never kiss and tell... Yesterday was my first time rock climbing... And it rocks!!!

Right now im considering taking this one as a sport... My only sport... If things go well (which they usually don't), i'll do it... Although im in so much pain right now, its only my first time to do it, im determined to try this one out... Ive got this thing about getting my body in better shape and this sport could help... I mean it strengthens my upper body... And you have to think too...
So that's both physical and mental... Im babbling i know... im sorry...

That's it for my weekend so far... Im at work right now... maximizing my resources (the internet hehehe)... my real weekend will start tomorrow and im looking forward to it cuz ive got some zombies to behead on RE4... harharhar!!!

1:00 AM

It's one in the morning, I'm half asleep but I really need to be awake... I have work and it's about to start in about an hour... This has been my life ever since I graduated... What i would give to have a normal schedule... Ugh...

Anyway, I really need to be inspired today... i heard one of my favorite songs on the radio when i woke up earlier this evening... Texas' In Demand... I don't know if anyone else likes this song... I first heard this song when i was still in college... I personally believe this is the best song to listen to when you're kissing someone... I don't know, but everytime i'm giving someone a smooch, this song plays in my head... Anyway, it gave me a smile... the best way to start the day... err, night...

Im having LSS right now... good thing its Usher's Superstar... Yesterday was bad... I was singing the jingle from the vinegar and soy sauce commercial... Aaargh!!! Never go to bed after watching Wowowee... It was really awful... and I don't even know the lyrics of that song... i was just muttering "jumbo jumbo jumbo pack" over and over most of the day... I think i better end this now... Its coming back...

Don't you remember you told me you love me baby...
