for a time, i told myslef not to accept too much work... to simply say no...it's not greed that drives me on because i don't really make much out of these smaller projects... it's just the need to really keep myself going. i've always felt that if i stop, i will never be able to get back into the groove again.in any case, i accepted more projects than my body could handle the past month.

You are The MagicianSkill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing, you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the

heard Shakira and Beyonce's collaboration single last night and said it was so-so. a bit danceable, but nothing great. I was hoping the video was hot...it was a dud!beyonce's career seems on a downhill since her dreamgirls part... she should kick back up.shakira's an excellent artist, but this recent single has been drab. she needs to do more stuff like she did before.

Holy week is a religious holiday most Filipinos supposedly observe. For most people, they take this time to go on vacation with families or go visit seven churches. For a lot of people, it's a time to go to the beach because it's the only "beach holiday" for the rest of the working people.I've never really enjoyed this so-called religious observation. For one, I find the Filipino observance of

I had a weird dream concerning a graduation/funeral/despedida I had. It was about me dying and saying goodbye to everyone. But I really am getting ahead of myself and I should start from the beginning.Last week was one of the most grueling I’ve had. It was the week where 4 of the jobs I was juggling came together. I was doing publicity for three of my clients, assisting in 2 photo shoots,

Chuck, chuck, bo buck, bonana fana fo f… Well, that’s kind of how my friendship with Chuck is. It’s as old as time, as reliable as a rhyme, and as crazy as how that song never ended.Our friendship started long before we met. I was online, bored out of my head, and I was in an online chat room, chatting away and using my words to play with people’s heads with the Queen’s English. There, I

First off, let me begin by saying i'm really happy in my relationship. The (almost)6 months we've been together have been a whirlwind of activity for me. My relationship with P has brought about a lot of positive things in me. Things I never thought I would be able to do, see, or otherwise even consider.Chris said that P has a "lucky" factor. And he was right. I've never been luckier in

tuesday was for work... i procrastinated too much, so much so, that i crammed everything on tuesday. because of that, I ditched a meeting, skipped the gym, and did my rounds. that day was full of laughter, spent laughing with friends on the phone, and it was concluded with a movie, about the life of J.M.

In fact, i spent the whole of yesterday finishing the second book.A lot of people favor "THE DA VINCI CODE" more than "ANGELS AND DEMONS" but i think i prefer the latter for its fast pacing, use of wit, and the visuals the author paints in your head.

mom and i were talking about how to cut costs in dad's business (which he can't let go)i'm sad to say that dad has been making very stupid financial decisions... he never listens to us, but listens to people who want him to go down. he doesn't care what his family think of him... what's more important to him is what people see of him... so if his family thinks he's stupid, but people outside

i was drunk again last night... i had a blast!i wasn't really supposed to go to the launching of Victor Consunji's photo exhibit, but an acquaintance convinced me to go... the main reason why i went? open bar!!!anyway, maybe it's just me... but i felt one with the beautiful people there... with a little bit of alcohol, i turn into a PR maverick. I have no qualms about talking to people. But too

i've somehow shown myself as the go-to-guy when stuff needs to be fixed... all the time. i have earned or, should i say, cursed myself with the reputation to be the last-minute hero.the production company i did a stint for wants me back... even when i made it clear that i wouldn't have time for their company anymore. really not worth it with them, they turn back on their word, they're not

i'm watching this movie now... some extremely funny lines...from a female hooker: "boyfriend boyfriend ka pa, e tinatrabaho ko nga nga customer ko sa club, tratrabahuhin ko pa yung boyfriend, kakalyuhin ka niyan!"from the same female hooker (while in bed with a guy she likes) "ay nako! thursday pala ngayon, malas na araw ko ang thursday at malas na number ko ang 13... pero di bale, walang malas

i've written about my view on relationships and commitment... i'm not ready, nor do i think i will be ready to be in a relationship.last night, i was set up with someone. we hit it off... we seem to have a lot in common. one great thing in common is that we both don't feel the need to be in a relationship-relationship. What we both agreed on is that we would be willing to venture into a

two nights ago, i attended a birthday party of a friend on the east side. the organizers rented a hotel unit.early on, I felt that there were a few people interested in me. Ego aside, they made me feel their interest in me, which was confirmed by another friend of mine. anyway, after dinner and some chitchat, drinks started pouring... we all had vodka shots, which was cool. i don't get that

somehow, when it rains, it pours... i have that tendency to rush to a friend's side when help and company is needed.... yesterday, had to rush to the help of 3 friends. Managed to help them all... i guess shouldn't resign from my stint as a superhero yet, huh?

i've been meaning to write this post for a long time now...i've thought about being in a relationship again... but i've decided against it. when you think about it, it is fun to have someone to come home to at the end of the day... someone to be with when you go to sleep at night...but i realized, i don't want to be tied down. especially not now. I don't need someone to be frantically looking

i realized i haven't updated in quite some time now... realization hit me when Kince messaged me on YM and called ma GAGO. Apparently, i've got people worried. To those who were worrying, thanks for the concern, but the depression made me turn my heel and react to it proactively... I just needed to mope for a few days.so... i guess it's update time.i had to go to Boracay, last minute, to work.

the weekend was bad for me. i was depressed last saturday. I found out that my parents were not able to sell the property they were supposed to sell, and that they're trying to restructure our loan... it might just turn out that I have to take on the 8-million peso loan under my own name... i don't know how that will happen as of yet.my dad, in a fit of panic, called up my uncles who, instead

this week was the final draw... i charmingly told the producers of the show that i will only be staying until the end of the month... i've already given them a segment producer-in-training.i guess yesterday was the last straw. i had no video editor and had to do the video editing myself, for a paltry sum of 1,000.00 when the going rate for editors is at least 1,500.00oh well, they've lost

i got a much-needed break to day... i treated myself to a massage after a pretty good work out.... the massage was, indeed, relaxing...it came with a hair spa... basically, a hair spa is where they put gunk on your hair and leave it there for about 5 minutes... then, they tell you to wash it off... that's a hair spa... i don't know what it does... but i feel like it did nothing for my

my friend Albus told me not to forget Clay Aiken... i don't know if it's a compliment or not... his exact words were "Don't forget Clay Aiken (dunno if the spelling's right) from American Idol 2... the hairdo, the eyes, the skin complexion, the voice...

i have not been sleeping well the past few days. that's because of all the stress i've been going through... loaded schedules and all that... to top it all off, i've been smoking again, i blame it on stress, but i do blame the weakness of my will... i allowed stress to take over and let me smoke.anyway, i'm getting a tad fed up with my editing house... they promised that we'd start at 3pm, but

The new year has brought in new hope, new promises. Yet old habits die hard. I have succeeded in some new year's resolutions. First is that I'll be nicer to my dad... the way I talk to him and the way I respond to his requests. Second is that I'll be nicer on the road and keep my cool more. So far so good... but contrary to these, i've gone back to procrastinating. I earned a reprieve for a

If what you were doing when the New Year hits is an indication of what I'll be doing the whole year, then I'd be driving around with my best friend, Chuck, verifying kick ass fires, we'll be fighting fires the whole year round. I'll also be talking on my Sun Cellular with friends and suitors. Hahahahaha! Fun-filled year ahead. To be honest, I am feeling a little bit apathetic with all the

Okay, so, the trip was set, everything was planned out... the room was booked... The plan? Edil and I were to go up first and wait for Rocky to come up. Being the last minute packer that I was, I re-arranged my room and cleaned it a little bit before packing. I packed clothes good enough for almost a week.

I'm planning to retire early today... It's christmas eve and i don't feel the christmas spirit. i've only greeted very few people a merry christmas... and these are usually random people whose days i want to brighten.

Bah humbug! I don't feel the christmas spirit. I haven't done my shopping, I have no intentions of shopping until the christmas rush is over. Probably shop in january. Tomorrow's Christmas day. What's there to look forward to? I don't even have much gifts. Bah Humbug!

I finally got paid by the Philippine Tourism Authority. Not before I had to call their accounting department and encountered this bitch of an accounting woman on the phone. I was talking to her very politely and she responded in a hostile manner. How rude some people can get. Tita Ayette said that I should have said I was a consultant to the General Manager and see how fast they'd get off

i've been calling a government office... they're all supposed to be reporting from 7am to 4 pm these days. I called at 9 am... they're all not there yet. Imagine that... and when you call at 4 pm, they're all gone already. Quite a dissapointment. The same thing applies with anyone in the government. Edil and I were discussing that the other day... How politicians should stop politicking and

I know dreams are portents of things to come... I've been waiting over a year to get paid by the Philippine Tourism Authority. Just before waking up, I had a dream that I was causing a ruckus at the PTA. I was cursing the Marketing Head because it's with her department where all this financial ruckus started . This morning, I tried to call the PTA, the contact person was not yet there...

I brought Edil around today... showed him some places to go. We also bought tickets for our Baguio trip. After all of those things, we met up with my ex. We updated each other with what's been happening with us... we also talked about current happenings. I gave advice and my points of view. I thought I'd have a weird time with my ex... but things haven't changed. We're still friends. I

I kinda felt bad... i was blog browsing again and read that Jepoy's come back to the country... Al didn't tell me... Jepoy didn't contact me.... oh, well... they must have their own reasons... ANyway, I love this song by Alicia Key's... It's called KARMA Weren't you the one that said, that you don't want me anymore. And how you need your space, and give the keys back to your door. And how I

I am soooooo into Nestle Cookie Crisps... they're itty-bitty cookies made from cereal. I finished half a box after dinner... try it. Anyway, today, i went to the gym for the frist time in over a month and after a bout with influenza. I couldn't finish my workouts because I was too weak. My muscles seem to have atrophied. Oh, well... i'll try to go to the gym as much as i can the next few

was watching MYX the other day... chanced upon this song by Lindsay Lohan... couldn't help but relate to a lot of it... i'll be italicizing and bold-text-ing the lines I can really relate to Saturday, stepping into the club The music makes me wanna tell the DJ, turn it up I feel the energy all around And my body can't stop moving to the sound But I can tell that you're watching me And you're

I think i have missing brain cell chain links... at one point in time, i have a great introductory paragraph for my blog, which will ultimately lead to a good read-able post... but i end up with a jumble of words once my computer boots up. anyway, i was thinking back about my highschool reunion. everyone there was basically the same... I changed... I changed a lot... now they're mostly family

I got home late last night. For some weird reason, something clicked my back button and I lost whatever I was posting. I'll try to document things as much as I can. Well, I was scheduled to make some deliveries yesterday and I was supposed to meet Edil for dinner. Instead of doing my deliveries yesterday, I decided to wait for Edil. (Yes, my work priorities are not on straight). I spent an

Your Element Is Fire Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame. You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out. You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable. You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go. Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive. Bright and blazing with intensity, you

I thought my first day out would be fun... it turns out, I should have just stayed at home and sulked in front of the tv. I attended my highschool reunion and I felt so left out. It didn't help that I arrived late and that I didn't have a gift for exchange. Well, it's not really my fault that I didn't have a gift. I've been under house arrest because of the flu, thereby not giving me a chance

Okay, the night before the big event, I was running a very high fever, yet I still had revise a powerpoint presentation. I recorded my voice on the computer at home so that I can skip doing that part during the event. I arrived at the event venue at 12 noon. The airconditioner was not on yet, but I was shivering already. We had a few run throughs for the voice overs and the show director and

i've vowed to spend less time online and try to focus more on work, which includes going through a tall pile of newspapers. I've even replaced my computer chair with an ugly monobloc. it didn't work! i just ended up with a stiff back and a sore body. oh, well... at least i'm forced to stop facing the computer every once in a while to force my body to stretch. on the other hand... my

I've been so busy the past few days, i've barely slept. I've been catching up on work... a whole lot of it... Anyway, last blog, i was considering C... I think i was mistaken there. I'm glad i'm still playing the dating game. C is just too... how shall i put it?... clingy. REALLY clingy. I mean, sweet text messages are cool... but someone who keeps asking how I am every 4 hours? 3 or more

still procrastinating... i'm dating... considering C to be the one... but still keeping my doors open. the dating scene is getting a bit tiring... honestly, i have been thinking about settling down, but i need time to clear things out. joy's birthday a few days back... had fun playing charades. maybe i'll get to play some more next time... i need a sabbatical... i just wish i had cash to go

sometimes i wonder what it'd be like to have so much disposable income... which I would have had if my did made the right financial decisions. anyway, i want to get a platinum plan from Globe...much like Toff's. I swear, it'd be so much fun to get free phones and hassle-free number changing. He's changed his number again... i think he does that every 2 months... oh, well... life will be like

in the spirit of procrastination and even more procrastination... i have spent the whole day procrastinating. yes! even as i blog, i am procrastinating. my sister gave birth and my mom was supposed to assist her getting out of the hospital. I only had to bring my mom to the hospital and i would have had the whole day to work. But did I work? Of course not! I stayed there the whole day. When

I've tried to believe in the justice system for the longest time, but this latest story ruins everything. My sister got robbed two weekends ago. I found the story out a few days ago. My sister and her boyfriend were at the mall when her bag got stolen. No thanks to the security guards, my sister's boyfriend apprehended the thief after running from exit to exit. To cut the long story short,

In the music video of the song with this title, Christian Bautista walks down the beach and it's raining. He ends up meeting a mermaid and they have an encounter. I have had that experience in different chunks... The rain came in the last two days... I've been walking up and down the beach... and I met my merfolk who I shall call W. I call W a merfolk because of the inherent fishy smell that
