wmp: lost prophets, Can't Stop. Gotta Date With Hate

a couple of days back i recieved a couple of letters. one of them came from aunt claire. it's been almost a decade since she last flew back to the philipines when her mother passed away. i actually wish she was still with us after so long though she probably thought i was some brat in the past. all i can say is i had the best childhood ever.

her letter wrote of how she missed us (especially my sister whom she asked for her to call back but i wish i could tell her what a bitch she has become over the years). what was saddening in the letter was when she mentioned her husband died in saudi arabia four years ago. i couldn't help but think of my old apartment at jalan rumah tinggi after reading the letter. my nap was pretty messed up after that when i dreamt of being put up at our old neighbours place(before we moved out her husband passed away because of throat cancer). it was pretty eerie because t'was no one else around in the house. i woke up wondering how she was doing now and realised lonely folks are almost everywhere. it was a sad realisation i took awhile to shake off.

it's times like these that i become so ready to put aside all that pettiness and hate. i sincerely wish everyone i can think of now good years ahead come 2008...

the chronic fatigue syndrome...

the week's spending - last weekend at the golden landmark i finally got myself one of the ghost decks(you'd have to see it for yourself; the beautiful lack of color) and a vdf close-up mat which the magic boutique failed to deliver even after two months. and then somewhere along the week i collected the neca's badass alien figure at the falcon's hanger at waterloo center. it's easy to see why i was quite happy throughout the week.

the open office course - the entire two days(thurs&fri) appeared to be useful if we were the slightest bit interested in the first place. at the last row of the class we began checking out blogs, facebook, youtube, wikipedia even had a couple of rounds on the psp while briefly following the steps of the lessons. we had good laughs at each other, when the facilitor unexpectedly walks to the back and sees at least one of us too slow to switch the windows while the rest of us are back on the open office awaiting the next step.

the fidgeting of two coins made time pass alittle faster. the next day i brought a deck of cards along. towards the end of the day jj was moaning everytime i turned to him and said 'pick a card'.

it was friday night and we decided to head further down to clark quay after a simple dinner. bryan parted with us as he had a flight to catch to freakin' barcelona(somtimes i wonder if he even know how lucky he is). as we sat ourdoors it felt good to soak up the night life as we talked cock and had a couple of pints but towards the end of the night while heading home, i never felt worst. i had to alight from the nr5 to take a puke. settling down in the morning, 3am, thinking abt it, i guess sometimes we try alittle too hard for that little bit of joy...

wmp: everclear, wonderful

my first parallel parking since attaining my license became something to really laugh about.

i tried to retrace my steps in the afternoon lookin' at the street directory, of how i made it to chomp chomp/ice³, cineleisure and then back home but i couldn't recall much.

life would be so much better if i knew my way around. for one the car wouldnt be changing lanes back and forth while everybody scream for their lives.

i thought the golden compass was fucked up though it had rather cool ideas.

along with everclear's wonderful, rise against' everchanging, and anything blink, this too is perhaps one of my all time favourite songs maybe because it reminds of me of a certain phase of my life. check out the 'electric' version too!

wmp: straylight run, existentialism on prom night

it was a quick simple dinner with the go5 on friday night. we had a drink at the rooftop garden. i couldn't resist taking out the deck of cards. late into the morning we caught 'the kingdom' at cineleisure. i thought it was a good show despite the very shaky camera that made me slightly motion sick. i took a cab home while felix drove the rest home; staying in the west away from the rest of the gang is somehow my curse. it was only at 5am after a quick shower and surfing the net that i dived straight into bed. i was dead beat.

and then on sunday, after threatening ky that i'd kill him if he didn't turn up, the three of us caught up as we wandered around china square central and then vivocity as we tried quite hard to recall the names of our classmates and talk about the long past jjc days.

very nostalgic. for me at least.
