pressure and the subtle art of saying no

met up with jason and his friend yesterday... quite an infamous friend... someone who's had photos posted in the internet... anyway... this friend is interested in me... we'll see how things go... if ever something happens that'll be my tryst with a semi-celebrity. i drove jason to makati and after that, i dropped by Cece's place.

met Cece a few weeks back... had amazing sex. (no, i won't go into graphic detail)... suffice to say that it was an experience... but Cece is not really physically appealing to me... apparently, Cece is falling in love with me... (why does this always happen.. they fall after a few days, and after one amazing night hehehehehe). Cece always wants me to be at the condo... always spending the night... always being there... Cece has been hinting, for so many nights now, for a repeat performance of the last time... but i always end up being so sleepy when i'm there, so I end up sleeping...

anyway, today, i finished writing one script, and i believe one more script has to be rushed... i don't like this kind of rush because i don't have the details yet... the shooting is tomorrow and we don't have a venue yet... and the other script is for an event on tuesday when we don't have final details yet...

i'm resigning from this group.

productive meetings and relaxation

had a wonderful morning meeting, then was referred to a new client.... in the afternoon, i had a productive meeting... client was extremely pleased with the PR results... met a tv producer looking for a director, seeing brighter things ahead...

spent the afternoon with Inno and MommyJP. Inno and I touched base, haven't done so in a long time... was avoiding him before for certain reasons, but I'm glad we're talking like nothing happened before. Had tons of food courtesy of Shakey's.... Giant Meatballs, delicious pizza, wonderfully cooked chicken and mojos... we ate so much that we didn't have room for dessert.

we ended up drinking at MommyJP's house. later in the night, Koy followed, we drank some more and i decided to sleep there, instead. I woke up feeling refreshed... ready to start a new day.

BTW, my first event-directorial debut will be next week at China Town... wish me luck...

p.s. Albus, thanks for the wonderful text... and yeah, i'm not procrastinating that much now... no more time to do that.

appreciation...

sometimes, we fail to acknowledge how much we appreciate people... this is an appreciation list... if you're not here, chances are, my memory is still on the fritz... whoever you are, i still appreciate you... but do give me a shout out if you feel you should be part of this list...

Chuck... for always being there, for listening to my ramblings and supporting me through everything, for being ever patient, and for being nice to new people i've introduced you to despite the fact that you're not that friendly with people you just met, for being makulit they way i'm makulit... for buying me extra time, always... and for saving my ass when i need saving.

Toffer... for always being there... for exorcising the stalker ghost, for showing me a different view of things and for being my bitching buddy

Edil... for always giving me time... for listening to my rants, my ego trips, and all that... and for being very friendly to my friends... for always checking up on me.... for the words of wisdom... for the wisdom i derive from your deep posts... for being shallow with me when i need to be shallow, and for being profound when I need it

Joy... for exerting the effort... i know sometimes i'm not the easiest person to be with... for making the first move when we have spats... for not disappearing... for the musical scores, the vocal tips, and for sharing your wonderful family with me

Kobbes... for being crazy with me, telling me your dreams, and for bringing me closer to the arts again

Dein... for being there all the time... for those "hello, how are you" messages despite the fact that we rarely get to see each other... for those blog updates and blog test acknowledgements...

Mom... i know you're not reading this... but thanks for being the superwoman of my life... i'd probably be in the looney bin if it weren't for your support... thank you for blessing me with your strength...

My brother... for exerting effort despite our family not being close... for accepting me for who i am...

Lester... who has shown me how much of a good friend he is despite the short time we knew each other

JC... for teaching me about the supernatural... for always being a listener... for the testimonial... and everything else in between...

i know i have more people to appreciate... i guess i'll start with this... for now...

almost dying, procrastinating, and other things

i've been killing myself the past few weeks... averaging on 2-3 hours of sleep a day... suffering from mild insomnia, too... can't seem to sleep longer than 7 hours despite not sleeping much days before.

anyway... after finishing my work, i rushed to Punta Fuego. Left Manila at around 9pm and got there around midnight. I almost killed myself, and my companion because i was running so fast on the zig zag thing. I didn't realize the turn was that sharp.

anyway, got there, slept, woke up the next day and EX was there with the Boyfriend. I was okay with them. Didn't really have much to talk about with them. They didn't really make any effort to talk to me. Nothing major took place in Fuegeo. All is well. I enjoyed the beach and the pool in punta fuego. Wish I was able to go there earlier, or stay a day more, but the schedule i'm keeping doesn't make it possible.

The short vacation endedn and en route to Manila, I passed by San Pedro, Laguna to bring my companion home. Right on the highway in San Pedro, we heard firecracker-like shots. I looked to the left, across the road and saw a guy standing beside an open van with a gun keeping his aim (he shot the guy already, point blank, i think). I got worried about stray bullets so I moved the car to hide it behind a bus. We rushed to the police station to report the incident. The policeman was quite calm dealing with everything, as if it was a common occurence.

Anyway, that ended, I proceeded to Las Pinas for an EB. Got treated to dinner at Kitaro... had coffee... then went home.

I'm supposed to be working, but I'm procrastinating again... this song sorta sums up why i spend so much time on the internet....
