Remember, remember, the 5th of November...


Nung me imi-meet ako sa Gateway, Cubao kanina, napag-usapan naming sa Fully Booked o kaya dun sa record store sa tabi nito (na Oddessey pala) na lang magkita...

Matapos kong mabusisi ang napakalawak na selection sa Oddessey (para sa mga hindi nakakaalam... kumpleto po ang tindahan na ito... kung pop ang taste mo, blech!) lumipat ako sa FB.

Sa kasamaang palad, pagpunta ko sa graphic novels section ay naispatan ko kaagad ang collected issues ng "V for Vendetta", yung original novel na pinagbasehan ng pelikula... patay... dun pa lang alam ko nang mababawasan na naman ang pagkadami-dami (translation: severely limited) kung salapi...

Si Alan Moore ang nagsulat nito... sino si Alan Moore? Wala naman... siya lang ang idol ni Neil Gaiman pagdating sa pagsulat para sa mga graphic novels... sino si Neil Gaiman? Aba, ewan ko sayo!

Para sa mga me pakialam...

MAMATAY KAYO SA INGGIT!!!

[sana makahanap ako ng oras para mabasa tong nabili ko, huhuhuuuu...]

51 Days

It's been 51 days (1,224 hours, 73,440 minutes, or 4,406,400 seconds) since I've last made an actual post in this space... that's a long, long time... As expected, a lot of stuff has happened in that span of time but so far, nothing occured that sparked me to write an article (please read page title, repeat after me, this is not...).

What about this post then? Well... I figured I'd give people who visit something new to read, even though it is uncharacteristic of me to volunteer this kind of information, hehe...

So, to arrest my tendency to vaguely ramble on and on and on... here's a bulleted list of things that might be a mite interesting(Warning: information overload imminent). Enjoy!

*Overcame one or two weeks of wanting to be invited to (most probably non-existent) birthday party that I wouldn't want to attend... even on penalty of death. (do I want you to be happy??? no wishes for you then)

*At last! Learned name of singer of SH! (found out she might be interested in Sid, damnit...)

*One more instance of tardiness = termination... but...

*Found out undergrad thesis adviser setting up own engineering firm, oh yeah!

*[Almost died one weekend]
Friday night: 6UG,
Saturday noon: vs. Lufthansa,
Saturday night: Gweilo's Eastwood(saw how beautiful darna could have been without her silly chin, and, if she were punk... and really tall brother got hit upon by group of kiddy-girls and/or one really tall gay guy),
Sunday noon: vs. Indian FC. (more than 2 hours of continuous coughing... blast that manila air-Update: now breathing normally)

*(Almost insignificant-) Pay raise amidst shoddy disciplinary record prompts a loud cry of "Positive! Positive!!!"

*Found out how small world really is, and found out meaning of serendipity, all thanks to Joe ("da boss").

*Bacolod(Cauayan actually) confirmed. Flight on April 29. Nice!!!

*Daily Sched: 8AM: wake up; 8:30AM: wake up again; 9:00AM: really wake-up; 10AM-7PM: toil away (translation: sleep) at work; 8PM: go to wack-wack; 3PM: go home and get some much needed sleep.

*Met Bagus, he's on-board. Must now figure out a way to tell Marvin...

*Next "The In Crowd": April 24th, mag.net katipunan

*Found total90 for a measely P1,700. Must buy immediately!

*New DVD player. Plays DivX!!! Ubos kang naruto ka ngayon... and... might finally watch "the complete picture"... or might burn DVD as a sacrifice to the gods of vengeance instead...

*April 12 is mom's birthday. Noteworthy moments? None really...

*And to end it all: I'm getting my first actual vacation in a while... though it might turn up to be a "working" vacation... need... to... practice. We'll most probably be back in civilization on Sunday...

Ciao!!!

(PS: This might be my last post for a long while to come, what else is new eh???)
