wet and wild

yesterday, my maiden and i celebrated our 17th month of being in love with each other. we went to the beach and had one of the best times together. we rented a raft where we jumped off into the water at will and ate chocolates under the full moon. after a quick dip in the rooftop pool, we left the place, swearing we would come back. it was a day that made the sad holiday season wonderful still...

falalalala lala layla...

it's christmas eve and the family's preparin for the holiday feast. after that, gifts will be given out and i cant wait to see what i get this year.

btw, im in an okay mood because my maiden called me up and greeted me a merry christmas! yay!

anyways, someday, i will eat fugu. happy holidays!

bullet in the head

this has got to be the worst christmas of my life. i'm flat broke and my maiden's leaving me, both of which are in one way or another my fault. i really dont need the money, all i need is my maiden. i cant see why it's bad to be needy. why knowing that she means so much to me is a reason to be cruel and hurt me. during the times she needed me, i never made her feel like i have the upperhand.

anyways, if things get any worser than this i will definitely kill myself. if i cant live a life with my maiden, id rather not live.

red-handed

just finished editing the look of my blog. yay! creepy and bloody, just the way i like it.

breaking through

let's face it: the advent of the robot age is approaching and cannot be stopped. i mean just check this out, the amazing android asimo can now run!

cool... my guesstimate would be ten years from now, i could be lying lazily on my bed and watching dvd while my personal robot is cleaning up my room. kinda like in the movie "i, robot" but minus the violent features. anyways, the robots in that movie reminded me of imac computers. and asimo kinda looks like a humanoid ipod. does this mean we're gonna experience an apple-ish future? weheheh i can feel someone smiling widely...

mobility

how about something different today like... tech news! i mean, everyone of us is, in one way or another, a techie, whether we'd admit it or not. i admit it and am darn proud of it. geeks and nerds of the world, unite!

here's a link to the cellphone i wanna have next:

yo, apple's teaming up with motorola to produce their own breed of mobile phones. iPhone? iLike! yay!

and lastly, ive always wondered what those nokia phone model numbers stood for. ive just found a site that shines a bit of light on this:

be excellent to each other!

eureka

just a quick one...

about a month ago i misplaced my schindler's list dvd. ive looked high and low but couldnt find it anywhere in my room. ive given up on it after a week or so and thought maybe i had lent it to someone and ive forgotten who. anyways, today, i misplaced my cellphone. i frantically searched for it all over the house, but found my missing dvd instead. funny how you things turn out like that. just one of life's great baffles.

still havent found my phone yet but im guessing my sibs had something to do with it.

anyways, gotta go. my maiden awaits upstairs...

words = sword

it was so amusing to watch a dog chase and try to catch a grasshopper. my maiden's golden retriever was sulking on the floor when the insect suddenly appeared on the wall next to her. she spent like five minutes following it wherever it landed and even tried to bite it while it was mid-air. eventually she caught it with her mouth, spitted it onto the ground and subdued it with her paws. then she let go and the grasshopper bounded away. the dog just stayed there and watched it vanish. stupid. curious. playful. innocent. just like a lil child. that was one of the cutest and coolest things i have ever seen.

my maiden bought me a classic games combo pack. i like it and i'll surely bring along the chain 4 game on road trips. i swear id do my best to buy her her own monopoly.

i have this great new idea for a short story which my maiden has been most interested in making me so happy. however, she doesnt like the title im wanting to use. anyways, it's a reverse murder mystery (not giving away any details so no one would steal it) entitled "the murderers".

lastly, acquiesce is "a-kwi-es" not "akwis". i said so. merriam and webster said so as well.

lackluster

a boring tuesday.

nothin good on tv. all day, i kept switching through my favorite channels and it seemed like all of them had decided to put on the least interesting shows today. guess i'll just have to wait for the amazing race tomorrow morning.

nothin good on the net either. i've run out of websites to peruse and files to download. guess i oughta spend less time online and give them webmasters time to update the pages.

the only action i had this day was when i paid my maiden a visit. she'll be quite the busy bee in the next few days due to her book-to-film thesis. i was gonaa try and stay away from her for a while so she could focus on her task but i cant help longing to see her. and it was her smiles, her kisses, and her sweet sparkling presence that made this day worth waking up to. tomorrow, i shall come over her house again and linger longer.

im done for now. the classical music has relaxed me and i crave for my bed.

this particular blog entry is dedicated to my maiden who requested it.

hype

when will i ever wake up to an uber-perfect trouble-free monday?

the pc conked out once again and i wasted a couple of hours fixin it. darn. i really need to find a good job. ive been itching to buy a new computer, with the specs i want.

anyways, while waiting for the chkdsk to finish, i watched my uncle's old home movies which i had cd-burned. they showcased my cousins and i when were lil kids. i was completely different compared to what im like now. i was so hyperactive and noisy, id swear i was on some kind of upper drug. or mentally impaired. i watched the videos laughing and feeling ashamed of my lil self.

i liked the part where my dad left for and returned from the middle east. we stayed at a place near the airport and watched the airplanes take off and land less than a mile away. it must have been quite a sight for me as a kid. i mean, how many kids are able to stand a stone's throw from the runway and jump and wave at their father inside the plane taking off right in front of their eyes?

a big deal

i have just received an email, or more appropriately "the email, from peoplesupport regarding my application. i have not opened it. i cant open it.

does it contain good news or bad news? im expecting bad news of course, now that i have already gotten over it and am able to smile again. but seeing that one message in my inbox poked just a lil teenie tiny wee bit of hope inside me. can this be true? were maiden and the rest right after all?

coincidentally, i watched the 2nd to the last episode of survivor vanuatu, and the situation there reflected mine. there were five of them and the lone male chris was in the middle. it was his vote that would determine who would go home that night, and when tribal council came, someone had a gaping mouth of shock. and another with a wide happy grin.

the peoplesupport tribe has spoken. have i been voted off or not?

later...

my appointment with disappointment

i am a failure. or, to be an optimist for once, i have succeeded in making a fool of myself. yet again.

peoplesupport call center, robinson's summit bldg., paseo de roxas, makati. tuesday to wednesday. i came, i saw, i fucked up.

maiden made me wear the green polo shirt she bought for me. it proved to be lucky indeed for when i arrived at the 33rd floor of the said building, everything went my way. first interview: passed. there where three of us and i was the only one told to comeback for a set of exams that night. well, i really wouldnt know how well i did but im pretty certain my scores were quite impressive. the english exam: cake. the email response test: no problem. the listening test: a bit hard, but i managed. the typing speed and accuracy test: scored 53 wpm! woohoo! the job was mine for the taking!

not so fast, mister...

the next day, i sat beside and envied a girl for she was there to sign her job contract. still rejoicing after yesterday's win, i breezed through the supposedly final interview. however, i wasnt prepared for what came next: a customer service phone call simulation. and i blew it. for sure. i messed up big time. i am a moron. there went the call center chapter of my life.

it wouldnt have hurt this much if i had failed on the very first interview or exam. just like when you're climbing somethin high, you suffer less pain when you fall from the lower parts. but when you've really gone high, when you've already climbed almost to the top and you make one wrong move and fall, you sustain the most agonizing injuries.

and so here i am again. jobless. worthless.

everybody else, especially my beloved maiden, believes that it aint over yet. i thank everyone who prayed for and supported me. plus a thousand apologies as well...
