the tale of two friends
two friends of mine, both charming, both amazing in stark extremities.
One is overflowed with blessings and has become a monster in disguise --- her ego overflated, her charm exaggerated ---too much "me" has gone and exploded all over the place that to keep my sanity i had to leave and lie low from her. Sadly, she is oblivious to the effect she gives and continues to this day living in her own universe of Me.
The other one is charming, amazing, wonderful. She lost her life to love, her confidence shattered, her ego bruised by a sad, pathetic being whose words cut her deep and left her badly scarred. She continually sought to love against all odds, hopeful, yet all in vain.
Sometimes you wonder if life is truly unfair. or just plain sadistic.
I pray for my friend's eventual realization, and for my other friend's gain in confidence.

Nightmare before Christmas
Just what is it about this holiday that makes people so damn...nuts, to be more polite.
no sleep for two days, hectic work before charging to the airport two hours before my flight and i get left behind because the lines OUTSIDE the TERMINAL is really sucky. I get to the checking counter and they say it's MY FAULT!???!! WTF!???!
So now i'm spending the holidays in Manila, gratefully invited to join my friend's family for the Xmas dinner. It's a bummer, especially having to hear your mom so sad over the phone.
I know this is christmas and everybody's rushing but seriously, how hard is it to prioritize passengers who need to be boarding on time? Why are there lonng lines outside the terminal when they could have easily made 5 or so lines for passengers who are travelling at around the same time interval (a line for those leaving at 5am, etc.)
What's worse is that partner airlines who occupy the same terminal seem to have mo interest in looking out for their passengers --- just because it's airport security doesn't mean it's not your business or concern, y'know! It's like you're staying in your room and therefore, anything happening outside your room is none of your concern --- for all you care, you may be getting robbed or someone's hurt :-P (and please, none of that sappy, insincere spiel you give out to passengers --- it really sucks enough that we get the bad news, it's worse when you deliver it oh-so-insincerely).
While i wish everybody the best of the holidays, i really hope this concern reaches to the people of the new Centennial terminal. Your lack of concern as well as your indifference to your customers are truly anti-holidays! Also, to those people in the checking counter of Air Phils. who refused to give a damn, well, i do hope your manners and customer service will be better someday within this century -- your counterparts in the other regions have been more helpful than you are here.
That said, merry freakin' christmas.

Manny brings it all together....
In some churches, attendance was low because the usual parishioners had stayed home to see the fight.
Police said Metro Manila was virtually crime-free while the fight was in progress. In one area, a traffic enforcer abandoned her post so she could watch the bout in a nearby mall. (read the rest of the article here).
Good to know that Manny can actually prevent crime ;-)
CONGRATULATIONS, Manny Pacquaio! You totally rock!

drinking spree

roughly around this time last year i was in NY checking out the sights with my friend Hazel. I still can't believe that was just a year ago, it seems like ages now that i think about it... dang, how time flies!
Anyway, this was taken while we had our 10 minute intermission --- watching The Phantom of the Opera at the Majestic was quite an experience! The red wine didn't come cheap (freakin' $10 a glass) but i guess it was pretty good :-P
The musical was well, interesting. Most parts made me want to sleep (i guess it was just because there was just too much A/C, or i was just really tired from all that walking) but those parts wherein they were singing those memorable sad songs, i was crying buckets like there was no tomorrow. LOL. Hazel was nice enough not to laugh at me when the lights hit. awwwww... miss you girl!
i miss NY.

perils of the late night shift
Had to end my shift earlier than i anticipated last night. After a feverish day picking up some more donations, i ended late at work and severely dizzy. *sigh* that'll teach me not to stay up all day and night :-P My head was pounding, inspite the 1000mg dosage of Ponstan in my body. F*ckin A, this sucks.
i woke up in cold sweat earlier. After lunch of vegetables, i still found myself feeling queasy and light headed. Dammit, this hyperacidity will be the death of me.
After a consultation, i read up on my prescribed "bland diet". Fudge, cut down on chocolate, coffee and sweets. So much for the munchies and my favourite things... *sigh* The good news is that i can still take soy milk, which gives me a loophole for my caffeine intake. Fudge, now i'm down to just two of those a day and no more nicotine sticks (just as well, i suppose). Hmmm. I feel better yet more scared after reading all that. I wonder how long will this bland diet last or how long will i last. For now, we'll see...

The more we know, the better we grow , ika nga. In this case, the more we know about the situation, the less far fetched the reality becomes. So let's try to make a difference. Listening is a step forward to this.
For peeps in the Manila area, we'll be shipping a new batch of donations by the second week of november, 2006. Deadline for donations will be on Nov. 4, 2006.
Donations are appreciated in kind : gloves (industrial/household) , masks (haz mat preferably), rubber boots (industrial/fishing), old clothes, canned goods/ noodles, medicine. Let us know if you need your donations to be picked up. For those who want to send them to us (Applicable for Metro Manila only) Please send donations to #12 Highland Drive, Blueridge A, Katipunan, Q.C.
Cash donations are also welcome. You may send them in through this or send it to us to be used for buying these donations for you. We also have a new account set up by Batas Kalikasan for the Guimaras effort . You can deposit cash donations to:
Metrobank PESO savings acct # 500-3-50004384-0 Ayala Acacia branch
payable to: Batas Kalikasan Foundation Inc.
We'd like to remind you guys to include your name and contact info with your donations so they can be properly addressed. For cash deposits, please send us through email your scanned deposit slips so we can reconcile it and send you a receipt. :-) Thank you again for your help!

end of the month
Much has happened over the past few days... recent earthquakes felt over the weekend, rains that seem to come out of nowhere, the never ending political bickering, the disasters that seem to sprout up left and right.
October ends this week, bring forth the christmas season (and my birthday) sooner than i hoped. I wonder if these things are a sign of more disasters to come.

beginnings
A bit off for beginnings (it's the middle of the month, mid day of the week), but i figure what the hey.
It is both boredom and dire need of distraction that has led me to tinker with this space for the duration of this time today. I am a bit restless. This theme accurately portrays my mood for this night --- wintry, cold and a bit isolated from the world. Ahhh, la vie.
+ + +
Things are progressing more quickly than i anticipated. I murmured to my friend one night (squashed in somewhere during my ramblings) that i feel that celebrating my birthday is like jumpstarting a new era year that i am yet unwilling to own up to. Just when you get settled down to being 2+, you just have to start all over again and re-adjust.
It's not like i regret anything i've done at this point in my life --- far from it. I may not like all the paths i have taken, or the decisions ive made, but hey, they were MINE and i own up to them fully. This path which i am taking right now may not be the best for me, as others may remind me quite so often, but dammit, i'm having fun and yes, it IS my life, thanks a lot! (forgive me for being so defensive, some people just DON'T GET THAT). But anyway, i just feel like this age still has so much to offer and i feel i'm running out of time...

lost
A day's quiet for a time
like the calm before a storm
and it poured and rained
like there was no tomorrow
(and i still think that way, sometimes)
The silence s t r e t c h e s , s o c h i l l y,
s o s l o w l y
and rain falls as we barely speak
Refuge in the silence
and the restraint of words
afraid that i may say something
that shouldn't be
After all, it's just a night
And amid the sound of beat and bass
i strain to hear your voice
but i do not hear a word at all.
I get lost in the noise
and i try not to speak
for i know it will bring nothing but tears
yet again.
