looking for a date

well, not really a date date. i just thought i'd get more attention with that title. and now that you're reading this, anyone there interested in watching West Side Story with me? :D

another list

more than 2 years ago, i made this list. six months after that, i got to this point. scratching off 5 items out of 10 was indeed a very good sign. but then i did this, and it all went downhill from there again (bye-bye list). over the weekend, Jam and I had this conversation about things we want to do. actually, it's been a series of conversation i've been having with some friends, and mostly they are items i've been meaning/wanting to do but as usual, never got around to doing. but with Jam's encouragement (and now a possible "partner-in-crime" in these activities), i'm making a new list. 1. pay credit card debts 2. take driving lessons 3. get braces (still on the fence with this one though, but i'm putting it in!) 4. join a gym (instead of dance classes) 5. learn to swim yes, unlike Jam i am only putting in 5 items. because unlike him, he has proven he has great will power and self-control. so far, i've only proven that those are almost non-existent traits of mine. also, in case you didn't notice, these things would require some money. and getting that money would require that i change certain parts of my lifestyle. now these changes are the tougher ones, and form the second part of my list: 1. find a cheaper apartment 2. limit splurges on very good but very expensive food (ergo, find a new stress reliever) 3. start cooking again (no more to everyday take-outs for dinner!) 4. limit DVD and book purchases (i guess i should avoid malls now) and the hardest one of all... 5. avoid being late for work and working "for free" (no idea whatsoever how i'd even begin to do this) that's it. wish me luck!

i just wanna gloat

pagbigyan nyo na ako please... :D 12 or 13 years ago, i was able to fulfill one of my secret ambitions in life. and that is to rock! back then, digicams and video cams are not very common things for a high school student to have. so you'll barely see proof of the coolest moments of my life. except maybe for very unflattering shots such as this: now, they are all very well documented! (and can be edited. :p) i enjoyed our performance so much. and i hope we'd be able to play again soon. for now, enjoy our version of "Ang Huling El Bimbo". we originally did not plan to play this, and was about to play Plush instead. however, we were so inspired and touched by the Eraserheads reunion concert that we just had to play something they never had the chance to play. about 3 hours worth of practice for this, hope we did it justice at least. :) ok, now i am done gloating. i promise to post a more sensible homecoming post later. but for now, i have to sleep... and continue dreaming.

one bright and sunny day...

... as i was on my way to the office, i noticed someone in the underpass wearing a semi-orange shirt which says "SORRY, but i am TAKEN". it was the shirt that i saw first, and after which, i can't help but think how some people have the courage to wear those kinds of shirts. i still think it is funny. but i also find it a bit embarrassing and awkward since it is sort of presumptuous. then i looked up and saw the wearer... and damn was he cute! so apparently, he deserves that shirt. wala lang, nakakatawa lang. hehehe!
