my horoscope today:

This is an excellent day to tell people exactly what you feel, dear Scorpio. Your emotions are more stable than usual, so open up and let your heart speak. What you learn today will be extremely valuable for the future, so pay attention. Keep an eye on what is real but feel free to let your heart explore all the possibilities. Follow your emotions and trust your instincts. You stand to gain quite a bit.

Listening to: A Shade Of Blue by Incognito
Feeling: Sluggish and Lazy...want to sleep...i'm also bored
Thought balloon: Confused

just made my final presentation to Colgate...yeaaaaaah! it went well. Just need to plug in a few details but nonetheless i think my boss was pleased that i presented a menu of ideas for them to choose from.

I've been a bit sluggish lately so i can't wait to meet up with trika later for coffee. I also found the time last night to read my new book (actually bought it a while back but never opened it) about movie therapy...for every mood that you have, there is a number of movies to watch. There are also quotes from several films that are good too. Remember Cher's speech on the haitians in Clueless? hehe

Well, still have two weeks left...seems to be full of plans to get together with friends...pretty good since i think i'm not ready to get into something new. I just talked to a friend and we agreed that we've grown up pretty much over the past few years and that we should be more cautious. we ARE more cautious. problem is, i don't know how to play the game anymore - i've forgotten everything! aaargh! so it might be safer for me to stick to my friends...or relaxing at home. It's a bit difficult also since I've gotten a few calls since last Friday bec. some people saw me out and realized that I have recently joined the realm of the singleton again. Isn't that always what happens, the ones you aren't interested in are the ones calling yet the ones who you want to call, don't. Sigh. As Ane puts it, you have to find the one worthy of your time and care.

Sometimes i can't wait to get back to school. I know once i'm back in the whole system of things i'm going to regret ever saying this. But right now I wish i was a little busier. I won't have much time to think, just working my ass off from 8am to 6pm then passing out on the bed in the evening...

At least i'm still losing weight. I got to fit in my old black corporate dress today. Perfect for the presentation.

had a fun-filled weekend...again.
Started out with friday night...for the first time i was on time, ready to get picked up at 7pm. But lo and behold, tim was late but mostly due to the traffic (payday nga pala!except we both don't get paid hehe). traffic didn't let up even as we made our way to AIM for the graduation party of the Management of the arts course. We arrived at around 8pm already! missed the performances but still caught up with a few friends. I introduced my friend to some of the faculty so he could get a heads up on whether he should take any of the courses he's intrested in. In between his hunger pangs though we broke out in giggles as one guy says casually "anyone want valiums?" like it was a cigarette or a beer. haha. guess you had to be there to get the moment. (i still wonder about these people...do they think they're such friggin rebels by taking a drug that is legal, not lethal unless taken with alcohol and is as harmless as lets say taking an extra melatonin pill to sleep?hahaha)

anyway, we caught dinner at this authentic japanese restaurant in pasay road which i can't remember the name...because he was craving for some sea urchin or something.

we then met up with some friends in Dreambar which, up until now, i thought was filled with gay men, as Giraffe used to be...and wouldn't you know it, they have 80s night! i don't remember having fun dancing to rick astley or madonna or grooving to Michael Jackson's Rock with you. And it wasn't just our table/group by the way, it was the whole friggin bar! it seems as if this age group has been starving for a bar that plays 80s sounds (their time, ok fine i was in grade school then) and i haven't seen that much energy since the start of techno and all that shit. the DJ would stop the music at some point and you realize that every single person was singing to the song. I think Decades was the last bar that played good new wave and i was during my college days. My energy level was up and only with one currant 7 in my system. We went home early though (bummer) bec. he had an interview in ANC the following morning.

* anyone catch it? well try to catch his show at the CCP on July 13 with fellow comedians: Rex Navarette, Candy Pangilinan, Jon Santos etc. and its entitled "tongue in a mood mo rin". how many chances do we get to find all these talents in one evening?
* oh yeah tim says there was a blog by this girl that he came across that talked about one bad night's performance...will the culprit please stand up? hehe


Saturday night...bought my Duncan Sheik tickets! front row man! I get to see him up close. swoon! today everyone texted me asking for info about it...guess i'll be seeing a lot of friends around that night :)


Anyway, watched Charlie's Angels with Marc, Frances and Ziggy...dunno about you but I really liked it! nice to see some contact being made when girls punch each other...Demi Moore was definitely looking good though i think most of the gratitude goes to her plastic surgeon. Cmon guys, you remember St. Elmo's Fire? She had a square face! now it's almost as long as Celine Dion's! and we all know about the boobs...

I liked a lot of the chase scenes and the debate is still ongoing as to our favorite angel...i always liked Drew bec. she made me laugh. but Lucy Liu was especially appealing this time, maybe bec. she was more girly and smiled more. Cameron on the other hand looks really tired but hey, i'd give anything for that body and her legs! And Bernie Mac as Bosley was absolutely perfect! i like him a lot better than Bill Murray...oh and did you notice the villain's fake irish accent? the only thing worth it about him was he was a real bad boy and the whole reference to De Niro in Cape Fear.

I am Drew. Always falls for the Bad Guy...just ONCE i'd like a nice, good boy!

Afterwards, we had dinner in Country Waffles, coffee in starbucks and got home by 11. thought it was going to be relaxing, early night...but received one phone call and i was out the door on my way to Gay Pride in Malate.

Ok the last time i was here i made the mistake of bringing a couple of homophobic friends who couldn't enjoy it (really sorry guys!) but this time was so much better! got parking in (would you believe) nakpil street and we met up with some people in bargo's. Always great to meet some new people no? :) then on to Acquario where we were welcomed by Tina Turner and some lychee martinis...yummeee! i could go on but this is already getting too long. hehe...

have this big presentation later for my promotions plan...hope all goes well :) still have to meet Triks for coffee after.

Well well, what do you know…
You're Perfect ^^
-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which
means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're
the kind of chick that can hang out with your
boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't
care about presents or about going to fancy
places. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy
being around your boyfriend.

welcome the latest hottie to enter the world of Sex and the City!
I first encountered Ron Livingston in the movie Office Space. Where he co-starred with a Jennifer Aniston (before the layered hairstyle)…that is a must-see for anyone who can relate to Dilbert and cubicle offices. Later on he came out as a weirdly dressed but witty golfer in the movie Body Shots with Tara Reid, Jerry O’Connell and Sean Patrick Flannery. Or you probably noticed him in Band of Brothers a few years ago with a small but very visible role.

today was so wierd. i went on field in the afternoon to get some ideas for my promotion plan in the malls. ended up buying a denim skirt.haha. but i got my idea so i thought of it as a reward. it's also a reward for me to wear short skirts again...anyway the wierd part was that i felt dizzy for about a couple of hours, but just as i had been lying down on my bed for about 15 minutes pa lang, frances texted that she was on her way to pick me. darn! i forgot we were going to the gym! there was a temporary absence of my dizziness while at the gym. i worked out on three machines. i used the treadmill for my warm up then moved on to the other stuff to exercise my thighs and triceps. i am starting to like the gym gizmos! i used to find them boring...well my dizziness came back. maybe i haven't been eating enough. but i have! i just had lechon kawali for crying out loud! oh well.

i know i said i'm going to detox this week but hey when an old friend says we should go out, you go out! i'm introducing tiananmen bar to another new buddy tomorrow evening. haha. yumyum sharksfin siomai and lumpia here i come!

then on friday we might have japanese night! marc s. was supposed to come over last weekend (sorry about that!) to bring some japanese food that his dad had been making but since i forgot he may be bringing it this weekend instead. yum-meee! geez...i started talking about the gym and getting thinner tapos now i can't stop talking about food! hahahahahaha

what do you think of that smoking law shit? so what's going to happen, all the bars will be non-smoking now? i know it sounds good on paper that we're the first country to impose this...but instead of celebrating this pioneering effort, didn't it occur to them that it hasn't been done yet because it will have a bad effect on the economy? problem with our government and the officials in it is that they only have limited visions. don't they know about the domino effect? if you do something, it is not concentrated and controlled, it WILL have some effect on other things. you just neglected to see that you are shutting out at least half of the consumers in the establishments. For what? so you can be put in the history books for this? geezus, how lame. can you PLEASE see the big picture and not just your limited perspective. it's just as limited as your terms in office. gaaaah!

aaah my horoscope today...pretty accurate!

Today, you will need to come up with the answer to a really important question, dear Scorpio. What do you really want? Events might incite you to choose between your actual way of living and a more stable life. But you are worried about the unknown. Ironically, you will need to change your habits if you want more stability. Think about it.

i'm detoxing this week. don't want to plan any gimmicks first. need to regenerate my energy levels. hehe. tomorrow (oops i meant later) i'm going to the gym after work then on wednesday night some friends are just coming over. thursday should be charlie's angels movie night...or pwede rin friday na lang yun...

pero next week may mga plano na..going to Senses in morato to watch jimmy bondoc with friends and F&F2 week after yung barbie's cradle launch party tapos week after duncan sheik na! pucha two weeks na lang pala break ko! aaaargh!

don't you hate it when people think the world revolves around them?
I know i get self-centered at times but at least i don't like making other people feel like shit for my own personal security....

by the way, charlie's angels 2 is showing this week! 27th...i heard it on the radio. so i guess 2 fast 2 furious will be next week pa. bummer.

I am so psyched about the AIM party i'm planning...so you think 30 cases of beer is enough for 150 to 200 people? hahaha...thanks to connections and negotiation skills...i got the band and mobile setup, beer, enough food (appetizers, canapes, main course and dessert oh and a lechon being shipped from cebu), prizes, SOUND to play...and all within budget! I also found out that more of my friends are enrolled for this coming schoolyear! joao, macky, francis, pd among others. I met some other people in the pre-MBA classes last week. pretty cool guys. I just hope they have a blast at their party! i've been preparing it all by my lonesome so far but things are looking good! i should really make this a paying job! haha

By the way, who is watching Duncan Sheik's concert? We're all going! still deciding if we'll get the 1200++ tickets...hopefully the Warner Music guys get me in the press conference also to meet him. Aaaah! i'll probably just get stunned staring at him! Sana may picture! hahaha

just watched The Hulk.
I expected it to be a big disappointment...and it was.
They tried so hard to have a dramatic story. the only thing i liked was the comic panel effect of the shots that show you all points of view...and jennifer connelly's hair and makeup hehe.

to all those who watched it...didn't you get flashbacks of King Kong? The woman taming the beast?...and what's up with the stupid enya-type music that comes on everytime there's a mellow scene? It was good in gladiator and all the other epics that followed but for the Hulk? Cmon guys. It doesn't work the same way and besides, it's been done too many times, nobody gets teary eyed with it anymore.

JV said he thought it was really galeng. well the guy also liked Matrix 2. I told him i liked equilibrium SO much better than Matrix 2. Going back to the Hulk...jepong said he fell asleep (hahaha) and karl said ho-hum...

All i can say is...i can't wait to watch Charlie's Angels 2 and 2 Fast 2 Furious!!!

wow finally a picture of cristina aguilera that isn't bad at all. she looks like an authentic hippie/flower child of the 60s. or maybe she should always keep her eyes and mouth closed to look good! hehe...as i read somewhere this week: she was meant to be heard, not seen. the girl's got a really great voice, you have to admit.

Went to el pueblo last night for happy hour...that kinda stretched to the midnight hour till the morning hours...ugh my head feels like jello right now. i big throbbing piece of jello! my throat is actually as dry as...i can't even think. But i had fun last night. haven't been to that area in a while...last time i was there was for all day cafe. I found out that Sidebar has some of the best sounds! relaxing without being sleepy and perfect for general conversation. An old friend and I caught up with what's happened to us over the past three years and as i was telling Joy over the phone, it's always nice to have stimulating intelligent conversation. I don't know if it's age and/or experience that helps you develop that. Then we went to this place across the street, Serendipity. The last time i was in that building was for a bridal shower! haha...but Serendipity was really nice and cozy. Peanuts were excellent! haha...

Anyway, i just realized that i didn't even eat dinner last night! i only had alcohol from around 6pm onwards! i only had currant sevens the whole night (as suggested by a fellow alcoholic, don't change our drink) but i think i lost count after eight drinks...don't even ask what time i got home this morning...my dad didn't even ask about me. he just assumed i wouldn't go to work today. Fat chance. Have to go to SM North Edsa today for a Barbie's Cradle gig again. Then i'm probably going to have just a nice quiet dinner tonight with Frances and Marc...

nako i may have spoken too soon...promised some people yesterday that i'd meet them tonight in Ebisu. haaaaaay....=)

i just realized...my friggin website hasn't been updated in ages! and i don't mean my blog...it's my tripod site. I think i just put it there for access to pictures and my designs. I still have some stuff from the past that need to be taken out! grrr...oh well. i'll design a better site muna...hmmm maybe something with my latest art pieces.

by the way, thanks daphne for the tip about a new pictures site. I was really getting pissed off with picturetrail na. diba siyempre ayaw natin magbayad? hehe...it was also nice chatting with you sistah! hope we meet up nga soon! =)

Got this from my friend. thought it was cool:
"I'm pretty happy living in my own sweet time and I don't need your virus of the mind." - Heather Nova

Went to Tiananmen bar again last night with a friend. I couldn't stop laughing because apparently my friend's knees were acting up and he got cramped...pucha ganon na ba kami ka-tanda??! hahahaha well the rooms are actually more comfy than the center tables because your back can lean on something. i had fun though...sharksfin siomaiiii!...and tons of currants 7s. I don't even remember how many i drank but i know it was more than 4. Anyway, the whole night was composed of him making me sermon about how to deal with this guy that i like now...haha...margie is out of practice! but with all my guy friends looking out for me...i'm in good hands.

But the good vibe started yesterday afternoon pa lang...After lunch i went to school to get my grades. Oh man! I DIDN'T FAIL ANYTHING! MY GPA even went UP! God is good. Life is good. I guess my stupid breakup wasn't that significant after all. Even if it happened during exam week...pucha! can you imagine?! talk about the worst worst time! and this is not like fucking high school or college man...this is my friggin Masters degree! I am just grateful. All my grades went up actually...i'm so psyched to start the second year now! =)

After i got my grades I went to SM Manila for the Barbie's Cradle event. It was pretty good! I've organized consumer parties for Intel before but apparently the pull of a well-known band is surely a lot different...it was packed! I should have known this years ago! For lunch i was in Figaro and I met up with these guys from Fujitsu. They also asked me for advice regarding some events their doing soon. Man i should really open an events company! hahaha...i'm enjoying this experience.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Ziggy and I were discussing going to Greece next year for the Olympics. He's got this friend who he took up film with in NYU who we call "alex the greek" for obvious reasons and we may plan to bunk at this house. All I need is a plane ticket and spending money. That's a good graduation gift donchatink?

I'm still looking for a CD of EBTG's Language of Life
In my opinion it had the best songs, not the ones that were so popularized by mass exposure...except maybe "Driving".


I remember hearing this song when i was in highschool and just started my first serious relationship. Amazing that it still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Meet Me In The Morning
by EBTG

Meet me in the morning
I'll have the motor running
Down icy lanes, under a glass blue sky
This is living
This is living
I haven't come to be a stranger
I haven't come to break your home
I haven't come to harm your children
I've come to be your love
Don't let the grass grow under your feet
The sands of times keep running
For now at last I'm down on the street
With the engine running
Meet me in the evening
I'll have the log fire burning
Down frosty lanes, under a darkening sky
This is living
This is living
I haven't come to be a stranger
I haven't come to break your home
I haven't come to harm your children
I've come to be your love

Always Was Your Girl
by EBTG

I know you're down again and you see nothing but rain. You put your friends through hell and that's why we get along so well.

You see, I always was your girl, it always will be you and me against the world.

We know the years can give romance to the street where we once lived. You wondered why no one called - between you and me, we scared them all.

You see, I always was your girl, it always has been you and me against the world.

Maybe we're wrong and the world is right but don't tell me that tonight.

Self-assured and abusing guests, that's the way I like you best. You see, I always was your girl, it always will be you and me against the world.

I am delighted at the fact that more new small bars are located around the Makati area. Less crowds, but still around people I know...there's cheap alcohol, relaxing atmosphere, good conversation (oh wait those are from my friends hehe) and sometimes the occasional great band (SOUND!!! see the link on the left)

last week's sked:
Tuesday: Kidd Creole to catch Sound play in the open area
Thursday: Yaku bar - kinda pricey drinks but jap places are always good! caught the band called Overtone which is composed of 3 guys on guitar, and a box that is actually a whole drumset in one
Friday: old reliable Ponticello - although it was rasta night (parang hindi bagay) the food is still good (breadsticks!hehe) with good service and drinks
Saturday: Nuvo (somehow i seem to get good tables whether upstairs or downstairs that is perfect for intimate conversation) and Tiananmen bar along makati ave. just to show you how much fun i had relaxing in their little room with pillows for chairs, chill out music and serene atmosphere, i stayed there until the sun came up...aaaah the life =) guess i'll be there again next weekend!

other places to see:
Aposento behind Citibank tower - try their kilawin! beer is cheap too
Pipers on C.Palanca - Indio I plays every tuesdays and so does Overtone

I am the drunken master once again! hahahaha

Spongecola! check out the link to their website on the left


dami na nilang gigs! yahoo! =)

Cigarette by Spongecola

Saw a picture of you
Midnight ashes turned to blue
I never that you knew
Well I don't know

Someday We'll share this cigarette
You and me like we used to
Outside the dark parking lot
Where you told me life happens
Once you close your eyes

You had to go soon
The roses didn't reach full bloom
Well I never thought that you new
Well I don't know

Someday We'll share this cigarette
You and me like we used to
Outside the dark parking lot
Where you told me that life is just not fair at all

Super duper thanks to Ramon for helping me find a cheaper copy of the Mafioso book i've been craving for, for the past three years! if this order goes well - http://www.abebooks.com - i'll be ordering my books through here more often! i actually got two copies. The other one is for a friend of mine. Two books for around 20 dollars is a great deal! Without ramon's help i was suffering from disappointment looking at the $156 price tag on Amazon.com for just one book!

mushy moment...
i was surprised to discover that Rod Stewart has a really nice sweet song...
i got this from my Michael Buble' CD

"That's All"
Sung by Rod Stewart

I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all,
That's all

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all,
That's all.

There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love time can never destroy.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all.

currently listening to: "out of time" by Blur
you gotta see the video! it's like a home movie about a woman pilot and her thoughts

big mistake. fell asleep around 9pm and woke up again around 2am. so have been awake since then. Good thing too. my friend texted and called around that time to tell me he got held up with an icepick at his neck. note to everyone who smokes in their car. please be careful. My friend was on his way home from work when a car pulled up and a guy stuck the icepick at his neck demanding for my friend's celfone. Good thing my friend ain't the type to lose his cool or panic. he inched far enough from the pick and sped away. Geez! if i had to go rush off tonight to visit him in the hospital i'd probably cry! and later on feel like kicking that stupid hold-up guy's ass! *fume* aaargh!

well, he called to tell me to be careful bec he knows i smoke in the car too.

haaay. to think i walked from the office to rockwell tonight. didn't encounter any scary people in the street naman. phew. met up with herbie who needed company to do some errands - aaah my expert shopping advice was needed! haaay nako, ms. reliable. hehe he was amazed at how smart a shopper i am, i can get more for your money - never scrimp on quality or material of your clothes. you don't need to be a fool and pay too much right?

was nice though, bumped into Cons and Willy in Giordano...followed by Je and Riley about to watch a movie then Sarah and Sad who just did their grocery shopping. Then harvey and maricar just strolling the mall.

And dondi texted me today! he's back from europe! yahoo! see, toldja all my buddies are back!

Hey if my role is to take care of my friends for life, that ain't so bad right? with all their appreciation and love, what more do i need? :)

i have this wierd feeling right now. don't really understand it but i can say i'm happy.

just spent the evening with a friend. went shopping in Podium and had dinner in Cafe Briton. We were both not in the mood to go home yet so decided to go to Chef and Brewer in Ortigas. Enjoyed a few drinks (sunday night! somehow it didn't feel like a Sunday) and great conversation. i've known this person for around nine years (we counted it)...can't say there's a few people who know me that long and that well.

Ironically, my horoscope today said this:
Sun Jun. 1, 2003 by Astrocenter.com
Current planetary energies help build a bridge between you and someone special. You may not have had a lot of chances to get together and just talk..."

Though i can't say my horoscope is that accurate. I think the purpose was just to keep me with a positive attitude. Nevertheless, it's kinda ironic how everyone became single at almost the same time as me. It's as if fate put me and all my old friends together again. Or their presence at this moment has a purpose. Like today, my friend came at the right time. I needed some cheering up tonight and it sure worked.

I've always remembered someone telling me a very very long time ago: what if you died tomorrow...would you be ok with that? I admired him for that kind of positive attitude. he says that if you are content with what you have done with your life then you are confident that you can die anytime. There's no sense living in tomorrow. Do what you can now because it's the only time you have. That's not just a saying that you put on the wall or talk about. I see him live it everyday and it's pretty inspiring.

I haven't yet fulfilled my goal of organizing one day sometime around Christmas (because that's when you think that everyone who loves you will remember you, and these people have no one left) to get people together to spend the day with these old people. They don't need gifts or anything, what they need are people who will just listen and talk to them for a few hours, even days. That's always been close to my heart. Maybe now that i've written about it, I can finally get it done this year. =)
