Tutal, gusto kong mag-update tungkol sa buhay-buhay ko dito sa mundo kaya ngayon nagsusulat ako (isa na ring dahilan ay kailangan kong makapagsulat ng 100 entries ngayong taon).
Ang kwento ko lang ngayon eh mga sari-saring bagay tungkol sa buhay ko. Alam ko hindi siya gaanong kainteresante. Pero blog ko ito, kaya walang pakialaman.
*****
Noong kabataan ko, madalas akon malink kung kani-kanino. Hindi ako artista, pero halos lahat ng tao, gusto ako ipareha ng mga kapitbahay, kaklase at kaibigan sa mga taong hindi ko gaano kakilala. Ang una ay sa kaklase ko noong Kinder at Prep... si Katrina (di ko na maalala yung apelyido niya). Crush ko din naman siya dati. Hindi ko na siya nakita mula noong nagtapos ako ng pre-school.
Ang una kong naging crush (as in patay-na-patay talaga) eh nung grade 2 ako. Ms. Marianne de Leon yung pangalan niya. Science and Math teacher ko siya dati. Hindi na ako dumadalaw sa paaralang pinasukan ko nung bata pa ako kaya hindi ko na alam kung Mrs. na siya ngayon. Pero maganda yun. Kahit bading samin nagka-crush doon dati.
*****
Una kong girlfriend high school ako, Love Ramirez ang pangalan niya. Uso pa noon ang mga phonepal kaya doon ko siya nakilala. Mas matanda yun sa akin ng isang taon. Ilang buwan lang kami nagkasama dahil siyempre nagkolehiyo na siya. Siguro hindi kasi masyadong naging matatag yung pundasyon ng relasyon namin noon kaya hindi na kami nagkatuluyan. May asawa na siya ngayon. Canadian. Himala nga na hindi pa namin natatawagan yung tahanan nila sa Canada ngayon.
*****
Noong bata ako, mayroon akong kaibigang dwende. Hindi siya talaga nag-eexist, pero yung mga kalaro ko noon, paniwalang-paniwala na totoo yun. Weirdo ako dati, pero hindi na masyado ngayon. Siguro, ano lang yun, dala ng pagiging nag-iisang anak ko. Nasa tamang katinuan naman ako kaya di na kailangang magpadala ng psychologist para tingnan kung maluwag ang turnilyo ko.
*****
Ngayon, hindi na ako masyadong nakakapanuod ng telebisyon. Pero noong nasa kolehiyo ako lumiliban ako sa mga klase ko para lang malaman kung nagkatuluyan ba si Pacey at si Joey sa Dawson's Creek. Panggabi kasi ang mga klase ko noon kaya hindi ko napapanoon ang mga paborito kong palabas. 9 ang uwian ko, 8 ang Dawson's Creek. Ewan ko ba kung bakit patay na patay ako sa palabas na yun.
*****
Yun lang naman muna... Wala na akong maisip ngayon eh. Sa susunod na lang ulit.

ENTRY 64: WEBSITES NA GUSTO KONG BASAHIN
Mga paborito kong website...
FRIENDSTER: wala lang... kasi madami akong friends doon. Nakakatuwa na makikita mo yung mga kaklase mo noong high school na mas mataba pa sa'yo ngayon. Tapos isa pang dahilan, eh natutuwa ako na marami akong kaibigan. Di ko inakala na iaadd nila ako.
NEWSARAMA: mahilig ako sa comics, at ito ang isa sa mga pinupuntahan ko para malaman ang mga pinakahuling balita tungkol sa mga paborito kong bayani. Nakakaaliw lang.
PINOYEXCHANGE: ang daming topic ang pinag-uusapan dito, mula call center hanggang blog at kahit pagtatalik, may forum na ginagawa. Natutuwa ako kasi minsan may mga tao na nagmamarunong. Ang sarap nilang patulan at ipahiya sa buong world wide web.
COFIBEAN: yung mga blog entry niya hindi ko gusto... pero yung mga reaksyon ng mga tao, tuwang-tuwa ako basahin. Ang galitin ang buong mundo (or at least yung mga nagtatrabaho sa call center tulad ko), yun ata ang dahilan kung bakit nabuo itong blog na ito.
MOVIES.GO: ang mga trailer ng mga paborito o magiging paborito kong mga pelikula ay pinapalabas sa website na ito. It's cool...
COCONUTER: etong tao na ito, bilib ako... kasi siya mayamang Fil-am na naninirahan sa mga rural na mga lugar dito sa Pilipinas. Akalain mong may mga tao pala talagang gusto ay ganun.
PROFESSIONAL HECKLER: 1 word: nakakatawa! 'nuff said.
MYSPACE: parehong dahilan ng friendster. pero di ko ito madalas puntahan. wala kasi akong friends dun masyado.

ENTRY 63: I AM A ZOMBIE
At least that's how I looked like today... My eyes are red, I only groan and moan and I can't utter a single audible word... Good thing I don't exactly look like one (thank god for my debonaire looks harhar)...
I'm obviously at work right now... Too tired from playing Final Fantasy 12 the entire long weekend... I'm actually surprised that I'm able to type words that connect and make sense... I only had 2 hours of sleep today........................... oops! sorry, I fell asleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep... this is what playing video games for 14 hours will do to you.....
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhh!!! So sleeeeepyyyyyyyyyy! I'm doing it again... i'm sorry... I know it's annoying, but that is how i'm feeling right.......................now... I'll stop it I promise... you get it, I'm tired... You'd feel that way sometimes I bet... This is how I relax... I punish my eyes by playing video games non-stop and then taking a bath... without letting it rest for even five minutes...
I would be an eye doctor's worst nightmare (or best customer... think about it)... You know me, I'd do anything to die young... Blindness does not kill... but when you cross the street without looking at the road does... Off topic... but useful for those who have suicidal tendencies... poke your eyes and then cross the road...

ENTRY 62: FINAL FANTASY XII
IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I've been waiting for this game for 2 years now... It's great... I've only played it for like 4 hours only, but I'm still excited about it... I don't know how often I'll be playing this, but I'm sure it will take most of my restdays and rest hours to finish this... Oh crap, and I bought a new book... I might put it off for awhile...
The graphics are WAY better than x-2... And it's got a different (yet similar) gameplay... It's still turn-based, but in a real-time manner... I can't explain it well, but that's how the game goes now... It's still easy to pick up and understand though...
Like I said, I'm only four hours in the game... There are still a lot to play, and it's way too early to tell if this will be my favorite game... But just like the last Final Fantasy game (which I chose over a potential lover)... This is one pleasant distraction that will take my time away from having a decent social life...
*****
The other potential social-life-killing-entertainment I picked up yesterday was a copy of Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys... It's one GOOD book... I'm only 5 chapters in, and I'm already completely engrosse by the story... Fat Charlie's father just died, to his relief... You see Fat Charlie's father embarassed the hell out of the poor kid... But his dad is no ordinary dad, he's Anansi, the trickster god... And he's got another son... Who's inherited every bad trait his father would've had... more notably, his POWERS... That's where I'm at right now... but things are looking bad for Fat Charlie... very BAD!!!
*****
As much as I would like to write a review of The Departed... I slept ALL THROUGHOUT the movie... NOt that it's bad... But I was just very tired... I woke up during the credits... I wasn't even able to finish the trailers during the first part of the screening... That's like 150 bucks flushed down the drain... Good thing I was not snoring during my sleep (or was I?)... who cares...

ENTRY 61: ADHD
Matapos ang isang malalim na pagtatanto ko sa sarili ko... Napagdesisyonan ko na ako ay may ADHD...
Huh? ADHD? Yeahbuhwhat?
ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder... Wala lang... Feeling ko lang... Madalas kasi ngayon eh hindi ako maka-concentrate sa mga gawain ko... Hindi ako mapalagay sa isang lugar ng walang ginagawa... Tapos may mga bagay na madali akong pagsawaan... Siguro noong bata pa ako ay may sakit na akong ganito... Ngayon lang talaga siya nadevelop... Ang saklap... Supervisor pa naman ako...
Ano-ano ba ang simtomas na ang isang tao ay may sakit na ganito?

Ano-ano ba ang simtomas na ang isang tao ay may sakit na ganito?
- Inattention - madali akong magsawa sa isang bagay... maliban sa bago kong cellphone...
- Hyperactive - sa opisina, hindi ako mukhang supervisor dahil mahilig ako maglaro sa floor... para akong bata na makulit at pasaway...
- Impulsive - madami kang makikita sa kwarto kong mga bagay na hindi ko kailangan, na binibili ko... lalo na kapag malaki ang sweldo ko... ika nga, impulsive buyer ako...
Waah!!! Hindi ako tama sa pag-iisip... abnormal ako!!!

ENTRY 60: MOSTLY ABOUT PATTY LAUREL
60 entries written this year, I'm about to reach one of my things-to-do for 2006... That won't be the first, but it's the one thing that I remember... Yep, I eat a lot of pork, which totally makes me sorta forgetful... Anyway, I'll write down some snippets again about my weekend...
***
Patty Laurel approved my comment for her... I know it's shallow... but hey, she's a celebrity (and a one-time crush)... Why one-time? I realized if I want something to happen, then I really put my foot on the ground and not really reach for stars... I haven't met the girl, and she's totally out of my league... She's smart and funny and basically all the things I'd like an ideal girlfriend to be... but of course Notting Hill was only a movie...
***
It is proven that I am a maid-magnet... This is awful... My neighbor's maid has a huge crush on me... I know that there are somewhat decent-looking people with nice jobs who have a crush on me, but servants?! Am I THAT plain-looking, that maids dig me? At least I know I'm attractive to one niche... Now if Patty Laurel makes a comment on my blog to announce her attraction to me, that really would be something... Does she even read my blogs?
***
I'm being a good friend these days to some people... Last week, Francis (if you've been a loyal follower of my blog, you know he's the one who did not return my vcd copy of "Shall We Dance") broke up with his girlfriend of 7 years... So I'm textmates with the guy for emotional support... And then yesterday, this classmate of mine from high school called me up because he was having a problem with his girlfriend... I don't give advice, I just listen... Fortunately, that's all he needed, because if I give him an advice, chances are his relationship would go down in an instant... What do I know about those stuff? If I were friends with Patty, would she be good to me?
***
I think I'm sounding like an obsessed fan of the girl, so I'm gonna stop it now... because I'm not... an obsessed fan... I'm just elated that she approved of my comment (which I think anyone who writes blogs usually do... I mean it's a compliment knowing people like what you write)... oh well...
***
I had my hair cut yesterday... I look like a high-school student... NOt bad, really... But I just feel like I'd be fit for the First Day HIgh commercial... I'd be the nice guy (totally a brainy guy... but Patty's the model for that so there... and I'm a nice guy)...

ENTRY 59: MY 5TH PHONE
A BRIEF HISTORY:
In my entire life, I only had 5 cellphones... My phones live long lives with me... I cherish and take care of my phones like family... They all have sentimental value for me...
Nokia 3210: This was my first phone... The one I used all throughout college... At the time when I bought this, I was one of the coolest student in school... It's one of only a few phones with a composer in it... But the popularity was shortlived, as a few weeks later, something better came out from Nokia... There was a defect on my keypads with that phone, but since it was my first, I really didn't mind... As long as I get to text my friends and do whatever, I'm good with my phone... But then when my anxiety days came in during my fourth year, I got sick of the phone because the only textmate I had then was Smart's promos which was really irritating... I got rid of the phone 3 months before my graduation...
Nokia 3530: When I stared working in 2003 (2 weeks after I graduated... yabang), I felt I needed a phone again... No reason really, I just felt that my co-workers would like me to be their textmate (which I found out was not really the case)... I applied for a line with Globe, and this was the free phone that I got... It was filled with nude and animated photos and videos (stuff my team leader kept sending me)... I sold it to upgrade my phone to...
Nokia 3100: I still have this phone... I bought it from my co-worker in eTelecare... I liked it because it's casing glows in the dark... That's basically the reason why I bought that phone... Plus, the pictures are clearer... It's got this zoom option to see the pics better... Plus, you can attach a camera to it (which my cat destroyed less than a week after I bought it... that's like 5,000 bucks gone in less than a week)... This is my work phone...
Ericson K750i: My first hi-tech phone... 2 megapixels... 90-something memory... has some quality speakers... and some heartless prick just took it away from me... Damn! It took some time for me to get over losing this phone... Heck, I don't think I'm still over it til now... Oh Enchanted Kingdom, how I loathe thee... But that's the thing of the past now...
Ericson W810i: My new phone... Practically the same specs as my K750 one... Just a bigger memory... Two days old... A child of Milenyo... I had to borrow money to be able to purchase this one... I would've purchased the Cybershot phone, but due to budget restraints, I made do with this one... I'm going to give my love to this phone as much as I gave to my other phones... this time I'll make sure that no one would steal this phone from me...

ENTRY 58: MILENYO
If I am not mistaken, this would be the first entry that I've written on an afternoon... I'm still awake, and I have a PC... Did I finally have enough money to purchase such monstrosity?
Nope... I'm stuck in the office... The power-ridden and uber-hot office... Thank you Milenyo... you made my day!!! It would be nice to be stuck in here, but damn it's hot!!! And the elevator is not working... More on that in a bit... But yes, after several years, the country's (more like Manila) struck again by a signal number 3 typhoon... Normally, when a storm hits the city, I'm still good to go home... but today is different... Cars are being picked up by the heavy winds.. people get tossed around like salad (my brain's so off I can't write a witty joke... but you got the pun right? salad... tossed...) and my hair... I put gel on it this morning, but now I look like a before model for a shampoo commercial..
But it's cool... This is the first time I got stranded in the office... My whole 3 years of work life, this is the first time that I had to stay in the office because it's dangerous to go home... It's exciting...
One of the first things I did after work was go to Megamall to buy me something to wear later when my shift starts at 2am... And of course to get my weekly dose of comic books (hey, no national disaster's going to stop me from buying my one and only obsession)... riding the taxi back to the office was one of the most unforgettable moments in my life... I get to feel how it is inside a car that's almost being carried by the storm... That was effing cool!!!
It's calm now (at least for now)... I do hope the winds don't get stronger anymore, as I need people to come in tonight... We only have 3 more days before the month ends, and we're barely on goal... Enough about work... Although I'm in the office... I'm not here as an employee... I'm a squatter...
I haven't slept yet... I don't think I will... This place, unfamiliar territory... And I'm uneasy in unfamiliar territories... So now, I'm just browsing the web... trying to find porn that's not filtered by websense (kidding of course!!!)... anyway, I've finished reading my comic books so now I'm stalking the blogosphere trying to find some interesting people to strike a conversation with (as if that will happen)... no, I'm just looking for some people who would be foolish enough to link me in their blogs... I've no idea how I'll find one, but at least I get to find some good reads... Other people's lives tend to be more interesting than mine... that I think mostly everyone knows already...
Oh well, back to stalking...
Oh $#!+ there's this guy who found his lover in bed with another woman!!! And he joined them...

ENTRY 57: SNIPPETS
Wala nanaman ako masabi, pero dahil ako ay nag-commit na gagawa ng 100 journal entries ngayong taon, eh nagsusulat ako ngayon sa'yo... Nang bilangin ko ang mga kailangan kong gawin para magawa ko yung isa sa mga pangako ko na gagawin ko ngayong taon, nalaman ko na kailangan magsulat ako dito ng isang entry tuwing makalawa... In english, every other day(di ko kasi alam kung tama ang ginagawa ko)...
***
Dito sa programa ko, napansin ko na ang mga ahente ko na may mga hitsura eh may dala-dalang mga mabibigat na problema... Hindi ko na syempre sasabihin kung ano yung problema nila... Pinagkatiwalaan nila ako... Dapat tama lang ang ginagawa ko... Napaisip tuloy ako... Buti na lang hindi ako masyadong kagwapuhan...
***
May bagyo nga pala ngayon dito sa Pilipinas... Ang balita pa nga eh kasing lakas ito ng bagyong Katrina sa Amerika... Isa lang ang ibig sabihin nito... MASARAP MATULOG!!! Kaya lang may pasok... Balang araw talaga, di ko papasukan yung kompanya ko ng isang linggo... Ano kaya ang gagawin ni Janie sakin?
***
Gusto ko manuod ng sine... Wala namang magandang palabas... At wala din akong kasama... Kung may mag-aya sa akin sa Sabado, bakit hindi... Malamang wala din kaming panuorin...
***
Malapit na ang Thanksgiving sa Canada... Ibig nitong sabihin na meron nanaman kaming medyo mahaba-habang pahinga... Ang saya nga eh, kasi ang programa ko, may inihandang bonding session nanaman... magbobonding yung iba sa Enchanted Kingdom, Batangas, at Baguio... Malamang lalong magiging close ang mga agents ko nito...
***
Record breaking talaga ito... Apat na buwan na kaming nag-oovertime... 6th day overtime... ang ibig lang naman sabihin nito ay lumalaki ang hinihinging oras sa amin... Magaling kasi ang programa namin... Sana lang madagdagan ang pahinga naming lahat... Haaay... Pagod na kaming lahat... Pagod na pagod sa kakaovertime...

ENTRY 56: GREY'S ANATOMY
Okay, I admit this is more of a guilty pleasure for me... As much as I would not like to admit to the public that I watch this show, I really do like it... It's because it's funny and it's not dragging... and it's got Katherine Heigl... She's hot!!!
Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy is still brilliant... Better than the first season? Definitely... It's longer... 28 episodes, each one outdoing the other...
The show follows up on what happened when Meredith found out that Dr. McDreamy is still married... It's a cool relationship what they had... Immoral... But cool... I'd like to be like that with my exes... It's not the type of show that would make you want to be a doctor, it actually does the opposite... But it's still cool... In what kind of hospital will you see doctors accepting a patient with a missile lodged in his chest... or instead of anaesthetics, uses pornography as a means to ease the pain, literally... Only in Seattle Grace Hospital...
This is far from my favorite television show, but it certainly one that makes me feel good after... I cannot relate to any character, but I certainly can sympathize with them...

ENTRY 55: ANONG MERON ANG TAONG HAPPY?
Di ko alam kung bakit, pero masaya ako ngayon... Siguro dahil maganda ang performance ng programa ko... dahil natapos ko na yung Season 2 ng Grey's Anatomy... dahil malapit na akong bumili ng bagong cellphone... dahil malapit na ang Octoberfest... o dahil tapos na ang tag-ulan (kahit medyo umaambon-ambon pa)...
Wala akong tulog nuong linggo... Tinapos ko ang buong season ng Grey's Anatomy, mula alas-dose ng tanghali, hanggang alas-dose ng gabi... tuluy-tuloy kong pinanuod yung palabas... AStig... nakakatawa... tapos may mga episode na nakakaiyak (pero di ko ginawa yun... umiyak)... pero mas madami ang nakakatawa... Buong buod sa palabas isusulat ko mamaya o bukas...
Ang isang naging dragging lang sa weekend ko eh nung nalaman ko na hiwalay na ang katrabaho ko sa girlfriend niya ng halos walong taon... Malungkot... pero ganyan talaga ang buhay...
Masaya pa rin ako!!! Dapat lang para hindi bumilis yung pagtanda ng hitsura ko... Gusto ko na lagi akong mukhang bata... Nung linggo kasi, sabi ng isang dati kong ahente na mukha daw akong sobrang ngarag... Di kasi ako nagsuklay... kaya ngayon... todo pomada ito!!! Harhar...

ENTRY 54: NANALO KAMI!!!
Simula alas-4 kahapon, hindi na ako nakaupo hanggang bandang alas sais ng gabi... Ang dahilan...
Game 3 ng finals ng San Beda at PCU!!!
At nanalo kami!!! Pagkatapos ng 28 napakahabang taon, ang tagtuyot ay natapos na... Nakapag-uwi na ang kolehiyo ko ng tropeo para sa men's basketball!!!
Sobrang dikit ng labanan... Last quarter, ang lamang naming bente napalapit sa 1... sinuwerte talaga kami kahapon... Kung naipasok ni Belga yung huli niyang tira, malamang di isasara ang Mendiola mamaya... 1 lang ang lamang... ISA!!!
Worthy opponent talaga ang PCU... Sinong mag-aakala na pagkatapos bumulusok ng SBC sa 3rd Quarter, eh 6 lang ang maipupuntos nila sa huling sampung minuto ng laro... halos lahat pa nun eh free throw...
Pero di na mahalaga lahat yun... Ang mahalaga NANALO KAMI!!! Woooohhh!!! YES!!! Kung pwede lang ako pumunta sa Mendiola mamaya, gagawin ko!!! Ang galing nilang lahat... si Aljamal, Angeles (na pamatay ang buzzer-beater na 3 point shot nung 2nd quarter), Ekwe at Escobal... Hanga ako... Kahit nung bandang huli eh medyo sumablay ang ilan sa inyo, hanga pa din ako!!! Kudos din syempre kay Coach Koy Banal, ang galing mo!!! Sayang wala ako sa Araneta!!! Ang saya!!! Animo San Beda!!! Ang dami kong tinype na exclamation point sa entry na'to!!!

ENTRY 53: THE BOSS
It's 10:40pm and normally, I should be at home sleeping or watching cheesy filipino telenovelas or... well... sleeping... But today, I'm in the office not really working... I have to come in early so I could meet the Chairman and CEO of the company I'm working for...
If you could only see me now... I'm wearing a tie... My long sleeve's not folded... I look decent... I mean I should... but today, it's not normal, I feel like a distinguished gentleman... Which I'm not by the way... I'm more of a crazed lunatic, but then again that's what meeting the boss usually does...
Funny thing... I do not have a clue as to how to knot my necktie... I did back when I was in high school (this is embarassing as I graduated from a business school with a degree in Marketing)... So I'm almost late to work, and there was no prepared tie on my closet so I had to pick one that would complement what I was wearing... and no, I did not choose my condom designed tie... On my way to work, I had to practice making the knots on my tie... I thought I won't get it right... Was able to do it on my 35th try... The windsor knot... Ha!!!
I met him... The CEO of ICT Group... John was a nice man... We talked for about one minute... And then poof he's gone... At least he knows me now... Good thing my boss, Ms. Joh, she said nice things about me... Remind me to thank her later...
In any case, I came in 5 hours earlier to meet the CEO of my company for a minute... Yay!!! At least I'll be able to go home early today.

ENTRY 52: END 28 ON 82
One of the things that I am proud of, aside from being a Supervisor at the age of 24, is that I also am a BEDAN!!! And this week, we're at the peak of our elated days... After so many years, we are on the brink of winning the championship for the Men's Basketball in NCAA Season 82... This is a celebration of Ateneo proportions!!! I'm so happy and proud!!!
I think today's game was the first one I've seen of our men's basketball team in 3 years... A lot of new faces were on the team, and most of them played great... I think the leaders for this game were Youssif Aljamal, Escobal, Angeles and of course this season's Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player, Sam Ekwe!!!
Hot damn, Araneta Coliseum was so red, I didn't know what to think... I wanted to be one of them!!! I will try to score me and some colleagues tickets for tomorrow's game... This is it!!! NO more title drought for the team!!! Woohoo!!!
ANIMO SAN BEDA!!!

ENTRY 51: OLD SOUL
After going out last night, I realized that I have an old soul... I'm not sure, I rarely go out to bars to party, it's never been my thing... But when I went there last night, I really felt that I don't belong...
I guess it's the introvert in me... I have no idea why I cannot bring out the extrovert in me whenever I'm outside the four walls of the office... It's not that bad, but the thing is, other than work, I cannot find a topic to talk about with my co-workers outside the office... That is just so wrong...
Do not take this the wrong way, but I did enjoy my trip to Decades last night... God knows I deserve to have some fun sometimes!!! I get to jiggy a little bit (it's embarassing, you don't want to see that)... I know I have two left feet... But like I said, I feel that I don't belong to that kind of crowd...
And I'm only 24!!! Dancing with 19 year-olds are not that wrong... They're technically of legal age already, but to me, I'm finding it difficult to relate with them, intellectually... Like I said, I have an old soul...

ENTRY 50: EULOGY SA CELLPHONE KO
Kung nabasa niyo yung huling entry ko, nalaman niyo na nawala yung cellphone ko sa Enchanted Kingdom... Ninakaw siya ng walang kaluluwang nilalang na hindi ko malaman kung bakit isinilang pa sa mundo... Ngayon ako magpapakabitter, para matapos na lahat ito... ilalabas ko lang yung sama ng loob ko... Pagpasensyahan niyo na po ako...
Nung pasko nung nakaraang taon, ipinakita ko sa inyo yung nabili kong cellphone... Sony Ericson k750i... Minahal ko yun ng halos 9 na buwan... Halos lahat ng mga paborito kong kanta nakastore sa mp3 player nun... At ang mga PICTURES!!! yun ang pinakanakakapanghinayang... Hindi ko man lang nai-upload yung mga larawan ko at ng mga katrabaho ko sa email ko...
Nanggigigil ako... di ko alam kung paano nakuha yun... pero tapos na siya... I've let go... I'm moving on... Kailan kaya ako makakabili ng kapalit ng phone na yun? Gusto kong bilhin yung Cybershot phone ng Ericson... Pero medyo mahal pa siya... Hihintayin ko muna maging mura yung phone, saka ko bibilhin... Sana dumating na yung increase ko, nang matigil ako sa kakatipid... Hindi siya healthy para sakin...
Ang mabuti na naidudulot ng pagkawala ng phone ko ngayon... eto...

- Nauuto ko ang mga agents ko na gawin lahat ng gusto ko (kunwari nalulungkot ako)
- Napagbibigyan akong iextend ang mga utang ko dahil nga kunwari depressed ako...
- Naipagluto ako ng magulang ko ng paborito kong pagkain nung linggo
- Lahat nakikisimpatya sa pagkawala ng phone ko (concerned sakin agents ko... awwww)
Ok na ako... Move on..

ENTRY 48: MEAN BOY
fSo nakasakay ako kanina sa fx pauwi, and then there was this girl na empleyado ng SM Sucat na feeling nagmamaganda... Di ba ang ilang fx eh yung aircon lahat nasa gitna, ang ginawa nung epal na babae tinapat sa kanya yung aircon, as in sa kanya lang... Nakakaasar diba? Mabuti na lang nakapagtimpi ako kanina... Inisip ko na lang na babae siya... Pero sa isip ko, gustung-gusto ko siyang awayin... She's not pretty... at empleyado lang siya ng SM, minimum wage earner... HELLO!!! Arrrgh!!! Nakakagigil!!!

New office policy...
Napapansin ko kasi, na dumadami ang nagdadahilan ng kung anu-ano para hindi magtawag sa trabaho... Pumapasok kayo para magtrabaho at hindi magpahinga... Kaya ngayon, kung di mo kayang magtawag, umuwi ka na lang... Para di sayang pinapasweldo namin sa inyo... bawal na ang nakameeting sa clock... Kung di mo kayang magtawag, GO HOME...
*****
Si tatay...
Hindi pa rin nagsasawa sa kaka-magic sing... Kaligayahan niya yun... Pero naman kung wala ka ng boses, sana itigil na ang pagkanta!!! Mahal ko mga magulang ko, di ko lang talaga kaya na nag-iingay sila... Medyo maganda kasi sound system sa bahay, at kapag nagmamagic sing ang isang tao eh, naririnig hanggang kanto yung sounds... Ang tatay ko, araw-araw kung kumanta, at medyo full volume pa ang speakers... Wala namang boses... Nagsawa na siya sa kakakanta ng Matt Munro at Frank Sinatra (after 3 months)... kaya ngayon lahat na ng kanta eh sinusubukan niya... Ilang daan din yun... Nakasarado na pintuan at bintana ng kwarto ko, naririnig ko pa rin yung paos at pekeng palseto niyang boses... Iniisip ko tuloy kung ano sinasabi ng mga kapitbahay namin tungkol sa kanya... Idadagdag ko lang, madalas siyang magpractice sa bahay ng mga maghahatinggabi... Milagro na lang na hindi pa binabato yung bahay namin... I love you daddy...

Dala ng walang tulog...
Wala akong tulog masyado ngayon kaya medyo 'cranky' ako... Patawad po... Di ako talaga ganito... Siguro mawawala ito pagpunta namin mamaya sa Enchanted Kingdom... Pero mukhang malabo, lalo kasi akong hindi makakatulog nun... Medyo nagdadalawang isip nga ako ngayon.. Ako lang ata yung lalaki na sasama dun... Inutang ko pa yung pangpunta ko don... Wag na lang kaya ako sumama? Hmmm...

Nagbabakasakali lang...
Gusto kong magleave ng isang linggo... Di kaya ako ibitin ng patiwarik ni Janie? Subukan ko kaya... Pang-asar lang... Kaya na naman ata nilang patakbuhin 'tong programang ito nang wala ako... May balikan pa kaya akong posisyon? Ayoko, wag muna... Tikman ko muna yung increase ko... Sana malapit na 'yon para makapagleave na ako... Pupunta talaga ako ng Bora... Kahit ako lang mag-isa...

Bwiset...
Ang dalas ko nang nakakarinig ng mga kantang pampasko... Nakakadepress... 3 buwan pa bago magpasko!!! Ang kinatutuwa ko lang sa mga panahon na ganito eh yung linggu-linggong fireworks display na nagaganap sa Ayala at ngayon sa Mall of Asia... Yun lang... Wala ng iba...

Isa pang bwiset...

- Binaha daw sa area nila (medyo malakas kasi ulan ngayon... biglaan)
- Baka may dengue yung kapatid (k, fine)
- Di daw maganda ang pakiramdam (pinakagasgas na excuse)
- Namamaga ang tonsils (di sanay magtawag)
Dahil dyan, buong buwan nanaman kaming mag-oOT... Tanggalin ko kaya lahat ng absinero sa programa ko? Parang gusto kong maging diktador dito ngayon... Magbago kaya ang ugali ng mga ahente ko?

ENTRY 47: HAY!!!
Matagal-tagal na rin akong hindi nagsusulat sa tagalog dito sa blog kong ito... Wala rin naman akong masabi na matino... yung huli ko palang sinulat, medyo tagalog din meron don.. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit palaging inggles yung mga sinusulat ko.. di naman ako gaanong magaling sa wikang iyon... kahit nga sa trabaho, di ako masyadong nag-iinggles... ginagawa ko lang yun kapag may kliyente...
So kumusta naman ako? ETo ngarag pa rin sa trabaho... ngayong linggo, sasama ako sa mga katrabaho ko na pumunta sa Enchanted Kingdom... matagal na rin akong hindi nakakapunta dun, sampung taon? dalawang magkasunod na linggo akong pupunta ng Laguna... suki... wala lang...
Mahirap magpatakbo ng programa... kelangan ko talaga ng isang MAHABANG pahinga...

ENTRY 46: THE LONG DRUNKEN WEEKEND
So if you're like me who works in a call center, last weekend was a long one... Whether you're calling the US or Canada (like my account), you didn't work yesterday... I guess the only exception are the inbound people...
It's been awhile since my program had an outing of some sorts... If I'm not mistaken, the last time we did it, was last April... the start of summer... I think that was our anniversary celebration... Because we've been having like 6th day overtimes for two months, we've decided to rest up a bit, relax, and go out of the city and enjoy a little bit...
We went to Pansol Laguna to have our outing... the first time wherein I helped in organizing one... It was a lot of fun... I think I spent 75% of our time there drunk... Imagine drinking Gran Matador and having San Mig Light as your chaser... That was fun... I can't believe that I did not pass out or throw up... I can even still remember everything I did there...
Of course there were still some things that i would've liked to do that I wasn't able to because of having lack of time and preparation, but the important thing is, everybody bonded... I think somehow in some way we got to know a little of each other better...
Here's some of the things I learned through our little bonding activity...

Here's some of the things I learned through our little bonding activity...
- Now i know that one of my colleagues is a huge flirt when drunk!!!
- I know that there are certain people that takes jokes seriously
- A couple of love teams were formed... just for fun
- Drunk people are fun to hang around with
- You do NOT follow a shot of Gran Matador with San Mig Light... that shit's strong...
- Holding the mic in a videoke after you swim will get you grounded
- You sleep better when your room is air-conditioned
- Oh yeah and I can stay under water for longer than 30 seconds now... I still don't know how to swim though...
- One good bonding activity is to eat like soldiers... all the food is placed on a few banana leaves... it's fun to share germs with your friends.
- I like beer...

ENTRY 45: THEME SONG FOR THE MOMENT
NOt that I'm depressed at the moment, it's just that I feel this song fits my mood or my life best... It's a Queen classic...
SOMEBODY TO LOVE
QUEEN
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
SOMEBODY TO LOVE
QUEEN
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
ENTRY 44: SEPTEMBER
A new month... A new lease on life... After that terrible ordeal I had to go through this week, I promised to do away with the whole love crap... I won't be bitter, but now may not be the right time for me to be going into relationships... Maybe I'm just stressed out with the promotion, and everything going on with my life... New responsibilities and all that... I guess, I just wanted someone to talk to about everything that goes on with me... Someone to share my joys with... Just someone... Anyone... Can anybody find me, somebody to love...
Oh well, you can't have everything... At least I've got tons of money!!!
*****
My new credo... I don't give a crap on what people think of me... I have money!!!
*****
Oh yeah, I better start saving some to buy gifts for colleagues, godchildren and family for Christmas...
It's the 'ber' month already... The depression season is coming!!!

ENTRY 43: NOT MEANT TO BE
The past few of days have been a roller coaster ride. I did not fall in love... Almost did, but unfortunately, it did not fall through...
REASON: It was not meant to be...
I met Lyanne in the chatroom a few days ago... The whole thing was wrong from the very beginning, come to think of it... We already were wrong for each other from the moment I received my first text message from her.
But I guess boredom would make you settle for anything less than you expected or wanted. We still texted each other, simply because there's no one else to text, or talk to... It turned out, in some way, there were things that the two of have in common... We were sweet to each other that she even called me 'dadz'. We decided to meet the next day...
Long story short, she was not that much into me, looks wise. Being dumped several times in my life already, I would know... She's not different with the other people who's turned me down... Yes, she looked nice and hot... and I looked like a drab... No effort from my part... But I believe that anyone who would like me when I looked my worst, likes me sincerely... I knew that she didn't but I turned a blind eye hoping that what I had to offer was enough to woe her into liking me...
It was stupid, and I know that... So yesterday I texted her about my status... THis is how the text conversation went...
Me: ilan ang nanliligaw sayo, o kaya yung nagpaparamdam?
Lyanne: 4
Me: kasama na ako dyan?
Lyanne: Nop
Me: Ang dami! So kung irank mo kami, pang-ilan ako?
Lyanne: Di ko masasabi, lahat kayo nasa getting to know each other stage pa lang...
Me: Okay, so pag nag-exert ba ako ng effort para ligawan ka, may pag-asa ba ako?
Lyanne: You don't have to just be yourself.
Me: Now that's my problem with you di ko nafifeel na you want to get to know me better.
Lyanne: That's up to you. Kung gusto mo friends muna tayo.
Me: Wow! Salamat!
Me: No offense meant, but I deserve better. I sincerely hope na mahanap dun sa 4 yung taong magmamahal sayo ng totoo.
Lyanne: if you're not going to say anything nice to me, then spare me!
Me: Im just being realistic, but ako pag nagmahal ako binibigay ko ang lahat... Now, kung hindi kayang suklian ng taong mahal ko yung mga iaalay ko, then she does not deserve my love...
end of texts...
Am I being a jerk? But in my defense, pinaasa niya ako...

ENTRY 42: COMMUTING HORROR STORIES
I've been a commuter since 6th grade, and there've been a few instances that I have shown my horns and tail. I am a nice guy in general, but then if provoked, I could be the long lost son of Lucifer himself. I'm tactless and brutally frank... I've made enemies back in the old days because I can't seem to take away the habit of keeping my mouth shut... But that's a whole different story...
Today, I'm going to talk about my commuting horror stories...
STORY 1: I WAS TIPSY
So I was about to go home from a team-building (more like inuman party) in Makati. I rode the shuttle back to Parañaque and then there were these 2 pacoño girls who were in front of me... So the discussion goes like this (it was 2 years ago, so forgive me this is not accurate)...
Girl 1: I don't like sa Jollibee, kasi nakakasawa na food dun...
Girl 2: And I don't like the crowd noh. And di naman ako gutom eh...
Girl 1: Yeah, sa Starbucks na lang tayo... at least masarap pa pastries dun...
Girl 2: Right, and kahit bread land kainin naten, we always get full..
(this conversation went on for like 5 minutes... it did not make sense... so finally...)
Me: Kaya kayo tumataba eh...
(then there was like 30 seconds of silence...)
Girl 1: EXCUSE ME?!
Me: I'm s-s-so s-s-sorry miss, I'm drunk...
That's all I said, I don't remember if the girl slapped me, but I know the hour and a half long trip home was very uncomfortable... They stopped talking about food, but did not stop talking about my rudeness... Even the lady beside me was eyeing me cruelly... I think they all wanted throw me out of the van.
STORY 2: WHY I DON'T SLEEP IN BUSES ANYMORE
It's a habit of mine, since I take a bus ride going home, that I sleep for the greater part of it... And then there was this one time that I was really tired, I walked from the office to Megamall to the bus terminal (it was a long walk!!!), and I fell asleep... Moments later, I heard the ticket inspector saying "saan ang ticket ng boyfriend mo?" Then I felt my head being shrugged off by someone. Apparently, I slept on the shoulder of some guy that I didn't know... THat was embarrasing, (good thing I did not drool or something)... People were laughing... He did not notice also, cause I think he was asleep too...
STORY 3: UNLUCKY WITH TAXI
I think that there's a conspiracy against me sometimes... I'm already late, but then on my way to work, every stoplight that we pass, when we're almost at the edge of the road or street, the light turns red... As in EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! And then this dumbass driver has to take a different route going to EDSA... So instead of from Baclaran, we had to go to Buendia, then to some backalleys, leading to Magallanes then EDSA... My bill was already a hundred bucks and I'm not in the Makati Business District yet... I got off Ayala and took the MRT going to Ortigas... I just got out of the cab and threw away a hundred bucks... The sad part was, it was not even traffic in EDSA!!!
STORY 4: I DID NOT SAY THIS...
You know that in buses, there are seats that can accomodate 3 people and on the other side, can sit 2... So there was this one night, I was on my way to work and I sat on the 2 seater side. Along came this couple who didn't have anymore place to sit on because the bus was already almost full. The woman sat beside me, and the guy tried to sit on the other side. I don't know, but there are really these insensitive people who don't really budge so that others can take their seat (I also do that, but then again that's only if ugly people are trying to sit beside me... or people who smell like sweat)... So this guy got irritated with the woman because she wasn't moving, and said... "ANG TABA MO KASI EH!" I found that really hilarious, and I laughed. So the couple got off, leaving me to face the wrath of the immovable object... Yeah, I think I heard her chanting something in her native witch tongue... But that was uber-creepy... I wasn't able to look at her after that...

ENTRY 41: IN THE COMPANY OF GREATNESS
Nope, I did not meet the Dalai Lama or the President of South Africa, or the Pope. Never met them, don't think I will ever do. The past couple of days, I've joined the seminar of the Human Resources department of the company that I'm currently working for. And it was attended by the supervisors of other accounts. It was a great seminar. I learned a lot and, and had a lot of fun while doing so.
To be honest, the company I'm working for is not perfect. I believe it's far from half to even becoming perfect. But the thing is, a lot of people are staying in the company for a long time. I for one am with the company for more than 2 years already. And I thought I was a dying breed in the company. Lo and behold, in our RCBC site, there were like other people who, like me had a 3-digit id number. There was even one who has a 2 digit id number. Of course, all of them have high positions already... (I'd like to say "us" but my title is not official yet)...
I remember now the reason why I liked it here... People, more specifically the supervisors and team leads are a happy... They (or rather we) have this happy disposition in life which affects everyone else... Their optimism are contagious. That is why alot of agents are staying with the company. Because no matter what the pressure is given to agents, at the end of the day, whether you make a sale or not, our team leaders are still content with what the agents are giving... They still joke around, and considers agents as friends and not slaves... That's the culture here in the company that I'm working for.

ENTRY 40: UNTITLED
Damn, my whole weekend was about sleeping... Counting Monday and Sunday, I slept a total of 15 hours... interrupted of course... but I snoozed like Sleeping Beauty (I'm thinking of the guy who slept for like 20 years, forgot his name though.. so sorry about the analogy)... Anyway, I have this MAJOR hangover right now... because of oversleeping and not being drunk... I've been sober for like a week now... Not as if I'm a drunk or anything like that... This is what I feel when I sleep for a long time...
*****
So last weekend was sort of exciting for the program... We chose 2 new Team Leaders for the program... Well, they deserve it... We chose these 2 people because we feel that they will be effective on the floor, as well as we all know that these 2 reps are going to be really dedicated on their jobs... I wish the both of them good luck...
*****
Oh yeah, kudos to my program, they've been performing the last 3 days... Looks like come payday, I'd be broke once more... Sigh...
*****
YOu know one thing that I would really like to do, is update you about my lovelife... Unfortunately, there is none... It's getting me depressed, as we're already into the rainy season... And these days usually are the peak of my desire-to-be-loved phases... And no, the love of my parents are not counted!!!
*****
Oh yeah, I saw the movie Story of Us this morning... And i hate to say it, but it almost made me cry... ALMOST... This is the reason why I don't like to watch chick flicks... It's slowly turning me into one... The bad thing about it is that I cannot relate... Why am I being so emotional on stupid things like that, when I don't even like anything about it... Fuck!!! But the movie is beautiful... It's so not cheesy... Maybe these films are my guide to becoming a better husband or boyfriend or whatever... Or maybe I should play a little more of Resident Evil or Silent Hill... I think I need to put more testosterone in my body every now and then...
*****
Been lurking on other people's blogs, and I found this wonderfully funny site, www.professionalheckler.blog-citycom . It was funny, and is intelligently written... If the guy ever decides to become the country's John Stewart, he would be popular... I do hope though that what he was writing was his original ideas, I would hate to think that those brilliant heckling are just plagiarized from other genius' minds... that would be disappointing.
*****
Just want to tell you, I have this penultimate crush... It's never going to happen, as I know I would never have enough courage to muster the words to tell this person how I really feel... Don't really know why this just came up... Never heard from her for like years already... Why did the feelings suddenly come back?! Makes me feel like crap....

ENTRY 39: GET TO KNOW ME BETTER
Some more things, that I would like to indulge about myself... few more questions to answer...
as if you care...
When at home, you...
Watch DVD's, VCD's, television or read through my comic books. Of course, that's if I'm awake... I'm mostly sleeping when I'm at home...
Favorite movies of all time...
-Jerry Maguire
-Under the Tuscan Sun
-Shall We Dance
-The Wedding Singer
-Scent of a Woman
3 songs never to be deleted on your playlist...
-In Demand (Texas)
-You and Me (lifehouse)
-The Last Time (Eric Benet)
3 shows you watch regularly...
-CSI
-Lost
-Prison Break
Where do you hang-out?
If I'm not in the office, I chill out at Greenbelt, or Glorietta... maybe at Starbucks to google at the beautiful people passing by... just chillin'...
3 things you can't live without...
-a soft bed
-a pillow
-comic books
If you could have just one wish... what would it be?
That all of my wishes will be granted (I don't know why no one ever thought of that)
Did you have a good childhood?
Yeah... I knew how to play children's games like monkey monkey, patintero, block 123... I was a witness to the height of popularity of Ultraman, Bioman, Magmaman, Shaider, Takeshi's Castle... I had a lot of the classic GI Joe, Transformers, Dino Riders, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures... I was born and grew up on one of the best decades of my age...
What kind of student were you?
I was not a loner, more of a commoner back in high school... that's why I enjoyed college better... Simply put, I was cooler back in college... Although, my friends in high school were the ones who stuck with me... I wonder why that is...
*****
As much as I would like to give you more, I have a shift to start in about an hour and I have to prepare... I'll just put some more info I'd divulge when I think of things that I deem okay to let y'all know...

ENTRY 37: THE LAST TIME
THE LAST TIME
Eric Benet
The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned;
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why,
because each question is answered when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds,
this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could I be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it,
I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words.
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.
This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
The last time i'll fall... in love.
*****
I just want to share this wonderful song with y'all...

ENTRY 36: PROMOTION
I don't know what to feel right now... I'm excited... I'm happy... but at the same time, I'm a nervous wreck... There's something I can't really explain that I'm feeling... It's more than just butterflies in my stomach... I guess this is how you feel when you get promoted... After more than two years of working for ICT, I am promoted to Supervisor for our account...
I've been Associate Supervisor for the program for 6 months, and the reason for my promotion is that my boss, Ms. Teena, is getting married. She was the Supervisor for our campaign for almost 3 years, starting up the program when it came to the company. She's leaving the country to be with her beau, and to live life there as one half of a happily married couple. Of course I'm happy for her, she deserves to live that kind of life... She's been single for like a long time... I don't think that she's going to let work stand in the way of her happiness... I don't think that anyone would let that happen...
So anyway, back to me... I'm putting too much pressure on this thing... I feel I deserve this position as I've worked my ass off ever since I got my first promotion... But then again, there's this feeling that I am still a greenhorn at all this leadership stuff... Two years of leading a team of 10-20 agents may not be enough experience in leading a group of 80...
I'm strong... And I'm smart... and I'm not alone... I guess, that's just all I need to tell myself now... I have a great roster of team leaders at my disposal... They will help me out...
Supervisor... heh, who would've thought?!

ENTRY 35: GETTING TO KNOW ME
Just some random Q & A's...
Real Name: Gilbert A. Ogario
Nickname: Take your pick, Gilbert, Jun, Gillboard, Gil, Engel, Berto, John John, Jao, Bebe
Dream Name: Samuel Fisher... my mom wanted to name me Jeffrey...
Occupation: Part-time Telephone Sex Operator, but mostly as a Call Center Supervisor
School: San Beda (Marketing Management graduate)
Age: 24 actual age... age by actions 17... physically looks like a handsome 25 yr old guy
Company: ICT Group Ortigas... previously from eTelecare...trained in United Overseas Bank
Hobbies: Watching movies, sleeping, reading comic books, books, music and blogging
Birthday: February 24, 1982
What will you see in my cellphone?
In my Nokia phone... messages mostly consist of excuses why an agent won't be able to come in to work that day... a few jokes, a lot of inspiring and friendship quotes... old pics of myself... and that' it... As for my Sony phone... lots and lots of pictures... slow music on my mp3... green jokes, a few quotes on friendships... a lot of green jokes...
Last movie I saw.
Miami Vice... I love films by Michael Mann... this one is good... the films that he did are all thought-provoking and violent... but this one... not so much... although there were a lot of sex that went on with Gong Li and Colin Farrell... I enjoyed it... too bad for the people who went with me...
Why oh why are you still single?
I don't know. I take a bath everyday. I think I'm smart. I really have no answer for that...
Weirdness factor.
How weird am I? Let's see, I'm the only guy in the office that collects comic books religiously... I get this vibe that people see me as someone who'll eventually become the guy in 'The 40 year old Virgin.' I'm an only child and I live alone... there's also the feeling that I may be viewed as Norman Bates in Psycho... but I tell people not to worry because that only happens whenever there is a full moon... (Psycho soundtrack starts playing)
Are you stupid?
I try my very best to act intelligent and distinguished... but ultimately, I always fail... I always say the dumbest things at the wrong times... So because of that, yes, I am stupid... But a sexy stupid and not the dumb stupid...
Have you been on tv?
Ha yes... I've joined a few game shows before... And when I was still studying in Mendiola, I was a regular spectator during rallies in the area... You would've seen me behind reporters when they're doing their reporting...
Anything interesting you would like to say?
Yep. That's it
Talents?
I don't know... I think I'm great in bed... I could hit the right tunes if asked to sing... uhm... I've finished Resident Evil 4 twice, is that considered as a talent? and oh yeah... I'm a good writer... I think...
Final words?
Read my blogs... Give comments...
