Hooked on "Idol"

American Idol, a show that millions of people watch all over the world. It has everything...


Drama....



Comedy....


Suspense....


And you get mesmerized by the talent, and lack of talent of Americans.


If you look at it Filipinos and Americans have a lot in common. Watching "Idol" gives us a peek on what America really is. Its just like any other place. Full of talented people, and crazy people. Yes, crazy.

We'll see what happens...

Conflicts

Mars... the ultimate regalia of war and conflict, may have been the reason behind this salvo of drama in my life.

As I awoke from my diurnal slumber, an occurence produced by my night time billet, my cousin-in-law's wife entered the house with thespian flare. As if a goddess on Olympus, she announced her arrival.

Earlier, my mother told me about a small feud between my cousin-in-law and my own brother... something to do with the upkeep of our humble abode...

My eyebrows raised at the blasphemy of it. You see, I have been constantly reminding them of the horrid conditions of the house. I mean, their stuff strewn everywhere.

I am the bread winner. The least you can expect from all of them is a certain amount of respect.

As a result of their rivalry, an object of importance was put on the line. This object, which she gave to me as a house-warming present, was being pulled out of the house, due to the conflict between her and my sibling.

I have to admit that I was wrong when I declared out loud that she may take all that is hers and shove it up her ass. LOL... yeah I was wrong to say it out loud... but it felt sooo right!

Well, that started the high drama that played for an hour or so. I becoming quite brash and loud, she becoming even louder.

To make the story short, I asked them to pull their weight and do what is expected of them, even asking them to pitch in with the household utilities. To each his own.

I recognize my mistakes and admit them. I never scolded anyone, or asked too much from anyone. I guess people take these things for granted.

You ever wonder what makes life interesting. To me, conflicts such as what happened adds a little color into your life.

What astonishes me is that during bouts of household fury, I can step out of character and look into the situation, as if being the audience watching a horrible travesty. In that moment, you see things as being comical, with no sense at all.

The downside of living with family is that you can't say anything to anyone directly because you are afraid to hurt their feelings, but you tell it to anyone else who would want to hear anyway. The walls have ears and gossip and rumors run their cycle.

Until it reaches the person you are talking about. This is where war and conflicts are bred.

Oooops, I Did It Again!

Yes, i did another stupid thing... tried to contact my ex... and again, made me feel foolish. Well, life's like that. It's a good thing he did'nt say anything bad or sarcastic..well, maybe that's how I would like it see it.


There are times when you do something right, or nice, and the outcome ain't that favourable to you. Whatever you do, you can't seem to escape fate. Take for example Oedipus. A prophecy about him killing his own father and marrying his own mother came true. As a young man, he fled his town to stop this prophecy from being fulfilled. But he did it all unknowingly.

But my point, after all that inane babbling, is that I should be feeling guilty, but am not. The reason for this is, I have no idea why I am feeling guilty with breaking up with my ex.

Unlike Oedipus, it was only natural for him to feel guilty after finding out what he had done, which he had done unkowingly; I have no idea what I have done to deserve what I am going through right now.


I mean, I gave everything that I could have given, and then some...


...maybe that is the problem... I gave too much.


Oh well, c'est la vie.

A lot of things are going through my mind right now, about work and stuff, but I know it's not worth writing about. I don't want to be reminded of the bad things that goes through my life. If you notice, most of the stuff I write seems to revolve around one person. My Ex.

He's worth remembering.

This is sooooo true.

"I created my very own first breakup rule:

Destroy all pictures where he looks sexy and you look
happy.

Breakup rule No. 2: Until emotionally
stabilized, enter no stores.

Breakup rule No. 3:
Never stop thinking about him, even for a moment.
because that's the moment he'll appear.




And finally, the most important breakup rule:


No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal,
you'll never get through it without your friends."

---Carrie Bradshaw, SEX AND THE CITY

Another dreadful week.

After the fun, comes the tragic moments. Thank God its not that tragic. Financially, my resources have dwindled due to some unfortunate circumstances......HAAAAYYYY naku!


Fortunately, I have other resources to rely on, thanks in part to Robie Jones. This guy helps me out a lot.



But, I had to do something drastic. Yes, I sold stuff, I wont mention what, but it soooo hurts me to part ways with them.....hay naku.

Just to get by. I mean, I'm the bread winner here. I don't want to be, but I have to. Its such a huge burden to bare. And no one seems to be helping out, or try to help out. I just wish all of their luck changes so I dont have to work for a while.

We just had our family reunion on the last day of 2005. It was fun, I won a mini-transistor radio that I get to use on my way to work. It helps to dispell the boredom that creeps up to you while travelling.

Travelling is one thing I hate. Actually, what I hate most about it is the way Philippine jeepneys annoy you. I hate the way they drive. It freaks me out when they speed all the way to Buendia, and you're left slightly gasping for life. Not to mention the hazards of getting mugged inside the jeepney. I was a victim once. And it gave me nightmares.

There are also the freakazoids that litter the metro. The spitters, the nose-blowers, the sleeper-come-snorers. The coughers, the snackers, and the dreaded smokers. Don't get me wrong, I mean, I am a smoker myself. But smoking in a crowded jeep with kids or old people beside is a no-no.

What will it take to get an ounce of respect from these people. Lack of education is not an excuse. All of us were born with a certain amount of respect for others. I think they just choose to not excercise that.

That's why I have taken the FX taxies lately. But it too can fall prey to muggers. That's also one reason I don't take my fancy cellphone anymore. I just take my Sun Cellphone on a 3210 Nokia...

Well, that's all for today. Here is a recent pic of me and my niece Jennika. That's my other niece Angie in the background, taken at our house.

YEHEY!Cam Phone!

i BOUGHT A NEW CAM FONE! Yay!

Its a motorola e398, very nice cam, as well as a great mp3 player.


this is a small pic i took of a building in makat.



This one is of my god child named Neo!



this is me and my loving baby boy Rolly.




Just me...

Its just another day... full of rainbows.

Oh well, its been a long while since I last posted here on my blog. A lot of things have happened.


1. I have been elevated as tier 3 support at my current job. Not a lot of perks, more responsibilities, and more stress. Can't complain though.

2. I have my lovelife on full blast, thanks to the one I love. Will post his new pics here.

3. I have another person who I love, whom I treat as my baby boy. He's the best. As time passes (I've known him for 6 year), he grows more handsome.

4. My family is well and happy.

5. I met Vee, Sass, Ate Litz, Issey, Dee, Nadine, Neenahw, and all the people at STRAP.

These are the things I am thankful for. Its been one helluva year, a great ride. With its ups and downs, I managed to stay afloat. Not only that, but the blessings are up to the brim.

I lost some friends, gained new ones. I regret a certain part of my life, but regrets are best kept in the past.

After all the struggles, the seasons of rain... God still kept me under His wings. That means a lot to me.

I'm Sorry

For all the years that I’ve known you baby
I can’t figure out the reason why lately
you’ve been acting so cold (didn’t you say)
if there’s a problem we should work it out
so why you giving me the cold shoulder now
like you don’t want to talk to me girl (tell me)
okay I know I was late again
I made you mad and dinners thrown in (the bin)
but why you making this thing drag on so long (I wanna know)
I’m sick and tired of this silly game
don’t think that I’m the only one here to blame
it’s not me who’s been going round slamming doors

That’s when you turned and said to me
I don’t care babe who’s right or wrong
I just don’t love you no more

Rain outside my window pouring down
what now, you’re gone, my fault, I’m sorry
feeling like a fool cos I let you down
now it’s too late to turn it around
I’m sorry for the tears I’ve made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
you made it clear when you said
I just don’t love you no more

I know that I’ve made a few mistakes
but never thought things would turn out this way
doesn’t make sense to me now that you’re gone (I see it all so clearly)
me at the door with you in a state
giving my reasons but as you look away
I can see a tear roll down your face

That’s when you turned and said to me
I don’t care babe who’s right or wrong
I just don’t love you no more

Rain outside my window pouring down
what now, you’re gone, my fault, I’m sorry
feeling like a fool cos I let you down
now it’s too late to turn it around
I’m sorry for the tears I’ve made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
you made it clear when you said
I just don’t love you no more

Those simple words hit so hard
they turned my whole world upside down
girl you caught me completely off guard
on that night you said to me
I just don’t love you no more

Rain outside my window pouring down
what now, you’re gone, my fault, I’m sorry
feeling like a fool cos I let you down
now it’s too late to turn it around
I’m sorry for the tears I’ve made you cry
I guess this time it really is goodbye
You made it clear when you said
I just don’t love you no more

Dawning of a new day.

My brother just left for Macau.


Its the dawn of a new era for us. Me, my brother, and my Mom.


Most of our lives, we were riding at the back seat. Always the unsung heroes.

Well, I'd rather stay here in Manila.

Crab Mentality

"Crab mentality" - a metaphor defined as the collective effort of the many with unreasonable thinking or empty instinct to disseminate untruthful rumors or negative innuendos to bring down or cause failure to a target principal idea, society, institution or individuals. Similar to crabs void of instinct trying to cling to others pulling down the rest of the crabs in the chain back to the bottom of the bushel foiling success to escape.


The truth of the matter is, Filipinos love to pull you down. Specially when they see that you're up there. Tsk, tsk.

Sherlock Holmes

One of the greatest stories of all times, I love reading about him and his radical (in those times) ways of discovering clues and hunting down people. Pshaw!


Sherlock Holmes (1854–1957, according to William S. Baring-Gould) is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, created by British author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes is famous for his prowess at using logic and astute observation to solve cases.

Sherlock Holmes describes himself as a "consulting detective", an expert who is brought into cases that have proven too difficult for other investigators; we are told that he is often able to solve a problem without leaving his home. Naturally, this aspect is minimized in the stories themselves, which tend to focus on the more interesting cases which require him to do actual legwork. He specializes in solving unusual cases using his extraordinary powers of observation and logical reasoning, and frequently demonstrates these powers to new clients by making on-the-spot observations about their personalities and recent activities. This rarely fails to impress.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle credits the inception of Holmes to his teacher at the medical school of Edinburgh University, the gifted surgeon and forensic detective Joseph Bell, forensic science being a new field at the time. However, some years later Bell wrote to Conan Doyle: "you are yourself Sherlock Holmes and well you know it".

The 'Sherlock Holmes' name was derived from a pair of cricketers – however some early notes give his name as Sherrinford Holmes. "Holmes" was named after Oliver Wendell Holmes, whom Conan Doyle admired, and an English cricketer named Sherlock.

Oh my, oh my, oh my!!!!!

This hottie, i love so much!

Fernando Joaquin Gomez........and me!

Liberation

Ah at last!

I can feel freedom. Who knew that realization can be so liberating?!?

The person I thought I loved and adored and worshipped suddenly seemed so trivial.

Someone you thought was perfect suddenly became a joke. What a nerd! LOL!!!!!

Am Over Him

Definitely. I never thought he could be such a freakin animal.

So sad to see someone as nice as him be such a child.

I'm only dreaming, and i keep dreaming.

One night, I laid in bed.

Thinking of you.

How your breath smells when we slept.

How your touch feels and how your skin feels against mine.

But now I can't.

Only but in my dreams...
