Rewind

Oras na para magbalik sa dating gawi. Tama na muna ang FB. Back to old school muna. At ngayon, susubukan ko naman ang mag-TagLish. Sa mga patuloy pa rin na sumusubaybay dito, maraming salamat sa inyong lahat. Teka, meron nga ba akong avid followers dito? Huh?

Half-Life

jong — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:26:59 +0000

I’m awake in the afternoon. I fell asleep in the living room. And it’s one of those moments. When everything is so clear. Before the truth goes back into hiding. I want to decide ’cause it’s worth deciding. To work on finding something more than this fear. It takes so much out of me to pretend. Tell me now, tell me how to make amends.

Maybe, I need to see the daylight. To leave behind this half-life. Don’t you see I’m breaking down. Lately, something here don’t feel right. This is just a half-life. Is there really no escape? No escape from time. Of any kind.

I keep trying to understand. This thing and that thing, my fellow man. I guess I’ll let you know. When I figure it out. But I don’t mind a few mysteries. They can stay that way it’s fine by me. And you are another mystery I am missing. It takes so much out of me to pretend.

Come on lets fall in love. Come on lets fall in love. Come on lets fall in love. Again. ‘Cause lately something here don’t feel right. This is just a half-life. Without you I am breaking down. Wake me, let me see the daylight. Save me from this half-life. Let’s you and I escape. Escape from time. Come on lets fall in love. Come on lets fall in love. Come on lets fall in love. Again.

Squeezers

I got these toothpaste squeezers from a Japan Home Center outlet in Makati. A very clever invention. Simple but truly useful.

FB Mania

jong — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:57:13 +0000

A conversation between the host and a customer at a comedy bar goes like this:

“Host: Naglalaro ka ba ng farmville?

Customer: Yes. Level 28 na ako.

Host: Bongga! Taas ng level! Eh di naglalaro ka rin ng Cafe World?

Customer: Yes. Level 20.

Host: Wow sosyal! … Wala ka na rin social life! (The crowd burst in laughter)”

Definitely true for some of us. Hoho! I must admit spending hours in front of my laptop playing these FB games. Though I still find time socializing; mind you. But I guess behind all these addicting stuff, it provides us some sugar coating lessons about time management. That if we can manage our time well, an abundance in harvested crops or sumptous dishes awaits us.

Computed Tomography Scan

There’s an off-repeated expression that says, “To see is to believe.” And some answer that by saying, “We have no brain because we only think we have but we cannot see it; thus we don’t believe.” Well, the case is different for me. I have indeed proven that my head contains something. Fully intact with “no localized mass lesion, signs of ischemic infarction nor hemorrhage.” Thanking God that I still have the chance to live.

Vicious Circle

Just want to share this piece that has been circulating in emails. Too good to be true.

“the vicious circle

we lose our health to make our wealth

we lose our wealth to regain our health

we live as if we will never die

we die as if we never lived

we are so busy with daily tasks

yet we are so bored in being so busy

we look for meaning in meaningless things

and overlook things fraught with meaning

we have no time for others

yet we waste our time in absurd undertakings”

Meanwhile, I have updated my multiply photos again to include my recent visits in Club Manila East and Island Cove. A product of two separate occasions from two long weekends. Sample pic below.

5th Princess

Some close family friends have been teasing me about playing favorites to the two kids at home. That is because, I posted Trek’s birthday invite but not for Coleen’s birthday which is also celebrated on the same month. To rest the case, I posted Coleen’s princess-birthday invitation, too. In fact, both of them have versions printed on tarpaulins.

Kids of today are lucky to have this kind of invites created as easy as ‘A-B-C’. During our time, even a simple caricature is limited to magazine covers and movie posters only. (Hmp!) Don’t ask me when.

Make Over

jong — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 01:32:44 +0000

With much enthusiasm and vigor, I cleaned up my play/work area at home last night. Imagine, doing the dusting and re-arranging of stuffs at almost past midnight until wee hours of the morning. It was tiring but the end result is a work of art (haha!). Now, I guess it will be more exciting goofing around this corner.
