Tell me why

i lost my phone.

yesterday.

I've only used that phone for a month.

It was cute, little, tiny, and sleek.

My phone book is lost forever (well, the entries i havent updated, that is)

Let us pray for the eternal repose of the soul of the person who took that phone and is still using my sim card. the nerve!

lets also pray for my phone, sana it would explode just as the one using it would call someone.

sniff.

sniff.

sleep all day

I love sleeping. If sleeping were a national sport, I'd be on the Philippine team. Sleep isnt just something my body needs. I need it. I want it..

I have always been a heavy sleeper. It takes about an hour to wake me up. It never bothered me till last night. After a day of walking around Megamall to look for furniture for Rob's unit, walking around eastwood while waiting for him to finish his interview, and going back to Malate (pizza night!) , I fell asleep really early. Turns out, around midnight, my friends were waking me up, to go to cafe ad, but i couldnt remember it. Aargh. I missed a lot! Everyone was there, Mado got drunk (again), and there were a lot of things I missed last night. Sayang.

I dont want to be a heavy sleeper anymore. I dont want to miss out on things.

:(

it was too soon.

Mike Cruz. Cruzin. Mr. Lay Up. He was a friend of mine from highschool. He played basketball, studied hard, got good grades, and had a very bright future. he was just like anyone of us, except that he has passed away last tuesday. We were never close, but we maintained communications after highschool. And even if we werent close, he was still part of our batch. OLGM 2001. We are all brothers and sisters there, we were all tight. We all stood side by side with with each other throughout all the laughs and the pairshares. And to have one less in the family? It sucks. Its not right. He was 24, one of the nicest people i know and this happens to him. Most of us had not had talked for the longest time, even so, the news of his death got all of us stunned. Most are still in shock. He was too young, too nice. But all the ranting i could do here won't bring a friend back.

Mike, wherever you are pare, we miss you. Kahit iyakin ka, mahal ka namin. We will miss the dimples. We hope youre playing a good game of ball up there, pakita mo sa kanila dyan signature layup mo. You will remain in our hearts and minds, and we wont be forgetting you. Your OLGM family will always remember you, and will always be here for you, wherever you may be. Farewell, friend.

watching my favorite book

Neil Gaiman is my favorite author. Some friends of mine introduced me to his work one night we were on tour for a play we were doing. They had me read "Snow, Glass, Apples" from Smoke and Mirrors, and I got hooked. To this day, I still blame them for my addiction to Neil Gaiman literature. (curse you, yanny and rhem, we shouldve just focused on the beer!). Of course, years from now, friends of mine have helped me with my Gaiman addiction. Friend and superdirector Avid gave me a signed copy of Mr. Punch for my birthday (i had work the day Gaiman was here and i wasnt able to see him), and Empress showed me death and morpheus, and now im in love.

Death and Dreams aside, Stardust is my favorite Gaiman novel. I've always thought of it as magical, innocent, funny; a true journey for one who is in search for his heart's desire. Naturally, when the film came out, I made sure I would watch it as soon as i can. It is hard to watch your favorite book on film. Even though Gaiman produced it and had control over the screenplay (i think), I couldnt help but compare. Certain things were omitted, probably on purpose. Certain circumstances and characters were changed so it is very entertaining, and unpredictable, even for one who has read the book. Overall, i loved the film. the cast could not have been better. The special effects could have been better. The treatment of the film was sort of harry potter-ish, but it worked its magic. Robert de Nero's character is something to watch out for. All in all, i would recommend people to watch it. But, dont expect a lord-of-the-rings-grandeur. Remember, Its harry-potterish.

something to think about: Why do you think the term "heart's desire", was not mentioned in the film?

Birthday post

I still have a birthday hangover. Maybe because the party is a week after my actual birthday, or maybe because I get away with everything on my birthday. Whatever the case is, here are some pics of my birthday, from 12mn to 12mn of october 7th. ( guys, i love you lots :P)

the gang (12 midnight onwards)

weird things you read in some places

I love reading. But please, my preferred literature does not include phrases you read in restroom cubicles, or bus seats, or in tables in school. Then again, when you're doing number 1 in a public place, and you're facing the door of the cubicle, you read all the weird things crazed girls do (i wouldn't know what's written in boy's bathrooms, silly!). I'm used to reading "jenna loves brad", or "mylene loves marie" (I went to an all-girls college) types of vandals. I've also seen, call me (number is written), or "(name) is such a s*#%!". Haven't seen "Inday Loves Dodong", but I'm expecting to see it soon, with all the popularity Inday has been gaining in the text world. But after more than 10 years of curiously reading doors of cubicles, tables and other places, I think I can say I have seen the weirdest (so far). I read it in an exclusive college in Manila where I am currently enrolled in. It said:

"What is Sex for you?"

then someone else wrote:

"It's the cheese in my spaghetti."


SERIOUSLY.

Tsk tsk tsk..

yo, ish ma berday

"surprise singing" at bubba with that hat. bleah.


late night coffee at cafe ad






yay, had a great birthday! albeit the surprise singing at bubba gump (yes, i had to wear the jester hat), and the upset tummy, things went pretty well. Enzo did not beat me up, and that was a great gift he gave me. I spent my birthday exactly how i wanted it: simple, just like any other day. (the drinking and non-stop singing will be on Libra Night (refer to future posts for this)). Right now, I'm terribly exhausted, so sleep, i will do. Post, I shall tomorrow. blogging. weeee!!!!
