MINUTE MAN
There had been several of my friends who underwent the resignation procedure, but I have never heard of any of them being summoned to the HQ. It is very peculiar why they would ask for me. Could they have mistaken me for somebody else? But for whatever reason I want to get that appointment from Amal and get this over with. The guy at the unemployment line wants me to join them for a beer later on.
Sadly, I am not the only one affected by this paper chase. My wife could not sleep to the fact that she might travel with my 11 month old son alone. Babies can be a pain especially when it comes to traveling. They have more energy than a junkie smoking crack cocaine.

_______________________________________________________
Lately I haven't been writing here because I'm soo sucked up with my resignation. My boss is telling me that they will approve it but there is no proper action being done to process my papers. They keep promising that it can be processed in a matter of days...which is a total bull! I don't know of anyone who's papers were processed in 10 days. Double bull! Now I can completely say that I understand what Janjan wen't through a year ago. Ain't that right Janers?!
As for the people asking me where I'm going after Bahrain, all I can say is...let's wait until next year. I don't know where I'm going either. Probably just waiting behind the unemployment line. Or! Me and my navy seal friend Ed can build our own farm and breed war freak street fighting roosters. We love our cocks!
I just wish that we could go home and rest for a while. But most importatly we want to go home to witness Jan and Ed tie the noose...I mean tie the knot. We can't wait to hear them say their wedding vows. I don't know whether I'll cry or pee laughing. Maybe I'll do both, but that I don't want to steal the show. We'll see...
But before they do something stupid like I love you, I want Ed to have a proper stag party. The thing that I did't have before I was married. I'll ask my wife to close Chico's Gay Bar to have a proper party for Jan too. Or if they want we can interchange the venue. It will be the Kulasisi Strip Joint for the girls, and the Adonis Gay Bar for us, which ever they prefer.
PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!

DIE BASTARD! DIE!
About a month ago I wrote to the letters section of the Gulf Daily News regarding the traffic rules of this kingdom. It was nice of the editor to publish my inquiry, and I think it was a cool thing that I can get an answer for the questionable speeding ticket that I received for my birthday. But surprisingly after a week somebody answered me in a foul reply insulting my intelligence, as well as my driving skills. So I wen't back to my letter (chanting "Die bastard! Die!) hoping to find a mistake before I go ahead and kick this guys ass. I didn't find anything wrong with it. But I probably should have worked on it more before I decided to hit the submit button. I just can't help it, I'm a trigger happy person.
So what's wrong with this story? I'll tell you what? The editor of the newspaper is watching too much of the "Jerry Springer Show". How could he let the readers to be insulted in public? I felt like crap after a while, and then I decided that I am not going to write another comment on that silly newspaper. Instead, I would guest on the Jerry Springer Show and slug it out with the cheap-shot-low-life.
Thank God I didn't have telekinetic powers at that time.

RETROSPECT: "A FOUR OF FISH AND FINGER PIES"
PENNY LANE
by The Beatles
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know.
And all the people that come and goStop and say hello.
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mackIn the pouring rain,
very strange.
(In Navotas I had a barber showing his sons photo's. His son has just graduated to become a police. One of the quickest way to get power and money. Every afternoon he sits on his chair and raises his snakeskin cowboy boots on the table while he enjoys his cold beer. One afternoon, the barber next to him noticed that his dentures fell on the floor. They all laughed at him, and when they checked he wasn't breathing anymore.)
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skiesI sit,
and mean while back
In penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machine.
(In Navotas we had a neighbor who was a fireman...he didn't have an hourglass but he always carry a glass of Ginebra San Miguel Gin. No wonder why they were always late for a fire.)
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger piesI
n summer, meanwhile back
(for this one you have to click the link and read about it in the facts and figures section. But one thing is true...we do have a lot of fish in Navotas.)
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And tho' she feels as if she's in a playShe is anyway.
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes inFrom the pouring rain,
very strange.

BTW read the Dear Diarya. He'll be featuring the cover of the book that I made for him...he mentioned me on his blog also. cool!

RETROSPECT: "MELTS YOUR MOUTH NOT YOUR HANDS"
I stumbled into the song TEENAGE DIRTBAG by Wheatus while I was playing my mp3 collection at work. And I immediately remembered the pretty little girl with dazzling dreamy eyes MENA SUVARI. She is a total hottie like my wife (playing safe). The MTV was a mix of scenes with the band and clips from the movie LOSER. I definitely liked the part when Mena started singing "I GOT TWO TICKETS TO IRON MAIDEN BABY. COME WITH ME FRIDAY DON'T SAY MAYBE. IM JUST A TEENAGE DIRTBAG BABY LIKE YOU."while she walks towards Jason Biggs. Imagine that a hottie like that would walk up to you in slow-mo actually say that, would you melt? I would.

FALLING DICK AND THE MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Somebody stole my cars emblem last night!
I hope your dick falls off buddy!!!
_______________________________________________
My friend Sarah just got back from the US and had an exciting experience finding a message in a bottle. No kidding! She never told me which kind of bottle the message was in. It could be very valuable clue to know that person. Say for example it’s an empty bottle of soy sauce then it could mean that the person is a Japanese. Or if its in a bottle of Budweiser it could mean that he is a red neck. A bottle of baby oil could mean that he has a baby or he is gay. There are a million possibilities!
Anyways, she found out that it came from a middle aged lady or Pakistani origin who wants to share her loss and her dreams…but mostly about her lost love. So if you guys know a Tony Khan (could it be the decendant of Genghis Khan or Odette Khan? Who cares!) from Dubai, let him know that he abandoned a woman who looks like Pamela Anderson.
The most interesting part about it is that Sarah picked up this bottle what could she be thinking? Could she be hoping for a Genie? You watch too much of those Walt Disney cartoons my friend. Haha! Peace! But what the heck, these things don’t happen everyday. Cool huh?
And then, when she saw the date and the time this Paki-lady has cast-away this message in a bottle she found out that it was just a couple of hours. So boys and girls, the moral of the lesson here today is that when you get trapped in a deserted island like our good friend Tom Hanks don’t bring an empty bottle. Coz even if you throw it will only be washed out within that beach area. It is better to bring a pair of ice skates like Tom. You can use it to knock your tooth out or open coconuts with it if it's sharp enough. And uh-uh! Bring a football just in case you get lonely!

NIRVANA
I was so surprised when she spoke to me. She see to be very bright and outspoken. Her English is very good! She has been trained well in school and she's well mannered. A trait that lacks some Pinoy kids her age. I'm just glad to know that she still remembers me and the rest of my family. The sad part about it is that she didn’t receive any of the letters that I sent her. I don’t want her to forget me or my family. She means a lot to us because she is my favorite aunt's daughter.
The phone call still lingers in my ears. I promised to see her one day. But for now I have to be contented by writing her a letter to let her know what's happening to me.
Its amazing what a phone call can do.

KWENTONG TAMBAY
The book is finally out! It's no surprise that Nicanor David's blog would someday be compiled in a book. And why not? This is probably one of the funniest pinoy blogsite I've ever visited. For me Batjay is probably the new male Jessica Zafra. I can't wait to get a copy and read it this December. By January I can use the pages to wrap my favorite Tinapa. => Now go out and get a copy!
Batjay, magkakaron ba ng "Kwentong Tambay" the movie?
I wonder if "My Dear Diarya" would someday be a book? Ok yun Mr_D! Print the pages on toilet paper para pagkatapos basahin puede ng gamitin at i-flush! Hahaha!

BIRTHDAY BLUES
When I was about 4 years old (I think) my grandfather used to tell me that I'm exempted to take a bath on my birthday, and I can do anything I want. The usual thing would be a trip to Luneta Park, and then I'll have to eat fried chicken. Fried chicken is not my favorite. It's just the fashionable thing to eat at that time.
I will play to my hearts content. Not even school can stop me climbing the pungent giant shoe slide/porta-john in Luneta. Why is it called Luneta anyways? Does it have anything to do with the moon? I'll wiki it later.
If its not the park I would prefer the Zoo. I love animals! Got lots of friends like you reading my stuff right now. Hee-hee! There is the old elephant near the entrance, the crocodile that doesn't move, the snakes that is good in hiding (or probably the cage is empty. That’s very Manila-zooish.), and the lions. My personal favorite is Peter the Orangutan. There is a sign outside his cage warning everyone to be cautions upon approaching the cage because the monkey spits…and throws monkey shit on people. He is so hilarious! Throwing shit! Hahahaha! Which reminds me of my boss. Maybe I should call him Peter?
After my field trip we usually go back to Navotas and my father will bring me to our relatives. My uncles will roll up the big bucks for me. Sorry I don't take coins. After giving the money they'll say this money is for your milk. But after I we go home all the money goes to mommy. Later on that cash will vanish without a trace. If my mom was an accountant for a corrupt government official, we would have been rich.
Nowadays I want to have a small party with my family and friends. It always break the blues. My friend Dondie already pledged a bandehado of his special Pancit. Now who wants to pledge for Vodka? Hehehe! But to keep it sweet and simple I only want a kiss from my wife and my baby boy when I wake up.

CENSORSHIP
That is the cry of Mel Gibson in the movie "Braveheart". Now it seems that I too have to shout it out to the computer department. Over censorship crap! Why do they have to block the good websites including http://www.wikipedia.org/? What is the point of having an internet at work if you can't access the best of the best of cyberspace. Now I keep checking my site if they have blocked it. Don't you dare computer guy! It's not worth it. They will not promote you to senior computer guy anyway.

GREEN
TV and movies has taken me there maybe a thousand times. The land is huge and overflowing with natural resources. The beaches are clean and full of beautiful women in their bikini, like the one's on Baywatch. And in terms of technology, I don't think that America is far behind on anything.
Recently, I have spoken to my long time friend in the US and she said that her life is a disaster. I asked myself "how could it be?" Even if something bad happens to you there you could easily bounce back, like those action heroes in movies. Or you’re tragedy can be turned into comedy like in Scrubs. Have I been misinformed? I guess I won't know until I get there.

Dear Janers and Edster,
Diego loves the water! Could this be a product of our weekly swimming party? Could be. Anyways, we dropped by Edsters flat in Juffair before we went home. We surely miss the happy times when you guys were here. BTW, I saw your male nurse friend at Carl's birthday party last weekend and the Nickelback song played in my head over and over again. Oh, I forgot to tell you that there is a DVD version of the music video that I gave you. Now everything is synchronised. I'll give it to you in December. See you!

On the lighter side of our life, we have been itching to invite friends over at our place. We haven’t entertained any guests in quite a while and we miss all our close friends. To top it all I wanted to show them the new entertainment system that we got. The sound is amazing! Singing with the videoke will never be the same!

The internet is for everyone. Ofcourse there are abusive net users, but cutting off our privilege to send emails to transact buisness and send love messages to our love ones abroad is a cheap shot below the belt. For your information Mr.nice-guy-network-administrator-person, THIS INTERNET IS THE ONLY BENEFIT THAT WE, "THE EXPATRIATES" GET FROM THIS COMPANY. And I bet you know this because your an expat too.
And there's no need to ban my site...this ain't PORN!

SUBURBIA
We recently moved to a new apartment in one of the Riffa suburbs. It is a complete change of environment compared to our previous niche in the busy city. I love the fact that its really quiet and relaxing. Finding a suitable place to park is now a history. The water supply is not salty at all. But we miss our neighborhood... Everything is soo near! Now you need to travel a block to buy a Pepsi.
Anyhow, the only problem we have is the internet...we dont have a connection yet. ADSL is so expensive here. Moreover, we haven't installed our satellite dish yet so no TV for a week now.
Special Thanks goes to the people who helped us move: Kuya Conrad (for the accomodation), Carl, Jhun, Cesar, Carlo, Indian Guy with a pick-up truck, Ate Weng (for baby sitting), Trisha, Mayeth, Boy Hito (for entertaining Diego). Triple thanks to Jhun, Carl and Cesar for everything. I couldnt do it without you guys. For sure you'll be invited for a drink after we put everything in order.

SOUTH PARK
I have always wanted to know what I'll look like if I was a South Park cartoon. Well here it is! My wife made it for me. Is there any resemblance at all?
I heard from a source that the video that I did was a success! I'm so happy about it! I felt like I won an Oscar. My friend said the bride watched the video about 10 times. Not the best record in my book though. Janners might have watched her video more than that! Right?!

Si Father - Para nga siyang tatay. Kasi utos sya ng utos, reklamo ng reklamo pero di marunong makinig.
Son - Oo, kalahati lang sya ng laki ni Father at para silang mag-ama kapag magkasama. (lalo siguro kung kakandong sya.)
At si Holy Ghost - Hindi dahil divine sya, pero dahil madalas di mo sya makita dahil late sya laging pumasok. Pero kapag naramdaman mo na sya at the end of the day daig pa ang habagat. Kaya naman nagiging exorcist ako everytime na magkikita kami. Hayyy...I'm so lucky.

FISH REPORT
Before anything else I am proud to tell you that your apartment is still there after you left you entrusted me with your key! => Everything is doing great with regards to the watering of your house plants. Infact, and probably when you return, all of them will still have the same number of leaves. I taped the brown ones that had fallen and colored them to get that natural effect. I did a great job with the leaves that some of them looks like Malunggay leaves.
With regards to the fish...I fed them more that 2 times in a week. The look very hungry, especially the black one which I fondly call "Boy Hito" or "Nog-Nog".
On my second visit at your apartment, I was surprised to see one of your fish doing the backstroke. I thought it was funny but when I looked closer it was missing its tail! Sanabagun!!! I think there is foul play in your aquarium. None of the other fish will admit who ate the little, so I decided to cut the oxygen and the water filter until they talk. Joke! I didn't cut the oxygen and the water filter! Hehehehe! But I was serious about the dead fish. Sorry! I'll make sure to get a replacement when we go to Geant.
I hope my sad news didn't spoil your vacation.
Love,
Dennis

MASTERMIND
It was about 6 years ago when I met him. He was young, handsome and thought to be one of the coolest boss in the hospital for his ability to get along with his staff. There was even a time when I was called to his office to explain why I forgot to punch in my time card. I told him that it was a mistake that I forgot punch in. He told me that I dont need to explain much further, and that I should never do it again. The meeting ended with a handshake and a full respect from the new HRD boss.
The next day after the text message, I saw the news for myself. His picture flashed briefly on the tube, I knew it was him but Im still in disbelief. The man that I once worked with is the mastermind of the "Valleverde Gang". And again I asked myself "What the hell is wrong with them? Isn't being born rich a good reason to live decent life?"

THE HONEYSPOT PRODUCTIONS
This week I launched my premiere video of Ali and Sarah...a sort of gift of mine to my good buddy Sarah to her cousin who is getting married. It has recieved a good review from the people who viewed it. And according to Sarah's mom I already had a booking with one of the cousins....oh how I wish!
Some people asked me if I can do moving videos instead of a slideshow. I told them that there is a certain advantage of doing a slideshow especially if they are realtime candid pictures. One is that not everyone can be good actors. With pictures you can cheat that by just posing for a few seconds. Most of us cant really act for more than a minute, we always break into laughter. Good pictures can be brought to life by a good storyline and an effective but meaningful background music.
So to those who want to avail of my services you can contact me at my email
sinneddc@yahoo.com.
Just leave your number and I'll call you back asap.

CONSUMER REPORT
Two months ago we purchased an HP 2613 computer. It will practically do everything except make coffee. I don't have any problems with regards to its printing. I can say that it rivals the prints that comes from the shop. Scanning is also very easy to do. You can even scan a text document and edit it. No need to retype it because of its I.R.I.S. technology.
But last week the LCD stopped working. No remedy from the HP Certified Online Technician can help me. All they can tell me in the end is that "its a hardware issue", which I don't really understand. I guess the best advice that they gave me is to send it to the Authorized Service Center. In this case its the Zayani shop along Sitra. The service personel were very assuring that it will be fixed. It only needs about a week because the new spare will be coming from Dubai. Who cares for 2 weeks if they will bring my LCD to life, right? And afterall, I am entitled to a "free service". It says so on the warranty. No need to worry about payments.
But after a week they called me to say that they didn't fix my printer, but instead they are giving me a new one. It was far better than what I expected. Imagine a new printer? But I knew that its too good to be true. When me and my wife got to the HP center they gave us a printer wrapped in plastic. No more new printer smell...it isn't new!!! We asked why it isn't new, but all they could tell us is that with this kind of model they dont repair it anymore. Models like this gets shipped to Dubai and replaced by an old refurbished unit. We tried to reason with them that this isn't fair. AFterall, our unit is only two months old. The one that they were giving us is probably older. It has scratches all over and a nick to one end of the scanner cover.
Even when we called the Manager Mr. Mohammed Shafi, he told us the same thing. But regardless of his reply, I thanked him for his help, and that I hope Mr. Zayani reads the Gulf Daily Newspaper. He said "Thank you". We chuckled afterwards and took the refurbished printer. Lets just see what happens after I wrote the editor of GDN.
MINUS ONE
Shortly after I took this photo the memory of an old ice cream commercial came to mind. Remember that old one, when two kids were separated after the boys family moved to another place? The little boy asked "Eh sinong best friend mo dun?" The other boy replied "Syempre ikaw!" Cute.
According to Prof. Water Bayubay of FEU, it's his commercial. Yep! He claimed this one to be his when I reviewed for the Med. Tech Board at Pioneer Review Center. Apparently, the other boy was Gary Valenciano. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but it would have been a nice memory to keep.
Have you ever been separated from your childhood friend when you were a kid? It's tough. Maybe because these are the years that we need someone to share the changes in our lives with.
When it was time to say goodbye to Ate Raquel and the family last night, we didn't really have a problem letting go, because we know that they are going to be in a nice place. But after seeing Mariam and Trisha say goodbye for the last time while, each one was separated by a steel barricade at the airport...man that really had our tear jerked from our eyes. It's sadder than the two mice that sang James Ingram's "Somewhere Out There".
The best of luck to Ate Raq's and the rest of the family. May you find what you are looking for in Canada. We'll miss you all!

DECADE
It was 10 years ago when I graduated from college. At this time I was still in disbelief about the facts of life. If I didn't hold on to one out of a million of my dreams, then probably I won't be here posting this blog. I'm not suicidal! I'm just thinking that I would have strayed in a different path. Who knows? Maybe I could have been a priest...
It was 10 years ago when I became serious in a relationship. And it was also 10 years ago that I decided not to become serious with my relationships. (uy bawi agad!) I learned that I was still very young to decide on that matter for fear of the word "Marriage". (sabi ko na nga ba pang-priest ako e..) By this time they are already giving away discount cards to motels in Mendiola and Recto.
It was 10 years ago when I passed the Medical Technology Board Exam. (Panis!) I didn't get the highest score but I passed! I ran out of the house wearing my underwear to buy 3 copies of the Manila Bulletin when I got the call from a friend that I am in the passers list.
It was 10 years ago when my mother had breast cancer. She had to undergo 2 surgery's because the first doctor that she went to is not qualified to remove her right breast. I wish I sued that OB-GYNE for malpractice.
It was 10 years ago when I played rythym guitar in band. We won first prize at a battle of the band contest in Malabon. I miss my band-mates!
It was 10 years ago when I got employed at a hospital in E. Rodriguez, Q.C. We had the best line up of cool staff in the lab. If we hadn't have any financial problems (like the rest of the masses.) we wouldn't have left that place. The management sucks, but we rock!
To be continued...

MY SHOT GLASS COLLECTION
Some people collect stamps. Some collect antiques. My friend from college collect girlfriends. I on the other hand collect shot glasses. Yes. Because I learned my lesson from collecting different kinds of liquor...they don't seem to last! But not all shot glasses are worth collecting. I started mine when my friend Sarah brought home a shot glass that lights up when you tilt it. Cool eh?? Then I bought my own from Hong Kong and Starbucks SM City branch. Later on Sarah and Hameed got me a pewter from their honeymoon trip to Thailand. So far the my collection stopped from there, thats why I'm reviving my collection from today. Does anybody care to give me one?

BABY DUTY
On our second night, I knew the he would do it to me again thats why after his mom left I went to the kitchen to fix me a strong coffee. And when I say strong, it's really strooonnggg!!! Strong enough to make your kidneys bleed. And as usual, we stayed up 'till the morning came.
After that I used the power of the internet to find me a remedy for a cranky 1 month old baby. You won't believe how many probable cause you can chose from. There were also friends who are there to give a friendly advice, in co-relation to their kid's case. We tried Gripe water, Acete Manzanilla, warm milk, swaddling, dancing, soothing lullabies, and oh, oh! prayers! We prayed that the little devil would stop crying. But there was one thing on my list that I haven't done yet...EXORCISM!

I LOVE CASH!!!
Anyways, I was listening to it this morning on my discman (I know it's primitive, but it plays Mp3's too!) and I found that it's cool! Every song is like a short story, and the rythym in my imagination is like riding a horse or a train. I listened to every track and there is a common theme in it, mostly family relationships, the west, misfortunes and good old fashion cowboy chitchat. Very different from the music that we hear today. I get tired of the sex topic too you know!

THE ART OF WAITING AND A GUY NAMED BILLY
I hate the idea of waiting. Because deep down inside I am a result oriented person. Last night even before I went to bed I knew that this would happen. I wished that there will be an active internet connection at work or else I'll to die of boredom. There was a tempting effort to stash the PS2 in my bag and play a game while I wait, but I didn't. There is a guilt feeling, like I was cheating on my wife while she babysit's my son with a few hours of sleep. Her arms are sore for certain, I thought. But anyways, I'm glad that I didn't because now I had the time to write this entry.
On a dimmer side, I discovered the confessions of Billy Corgan, the Smashing Pumkins frontman. His memoirs are so disturbing and sad that I imagined myself in his shoes. Scary! Writing something like that takes a lot of guts. What kind of a person can openly reveal his persona to the whole world? Nevermind Billy, but what about the other people that he wrote about? This made me more sensitive of what I would write in future blogs. I don't want to end up like a roadkill on someone else's journal.

COPYRIGHT
(While I wrote my comment about the feuding baker's, I slightly remembered the line on the song Mc Arthur Park. "I dont think that I can take it, coz it took so long to bake it. And I'll never find that recipe again....ohhh nooooo!!!!")
Dear Janjan, I made those things because I thought it was worth doing. You guys had been terrific friends to us. For a short period of time, we found a slice of home when we were together. Remember our days at the mall, when we didn't care and we just goofed around? Feeling ko na sa SM lang tayo! And with regards to the-statue-of-liberty-holding-a-bottle-of-jack-with-Ed's-face-having-six-fingers (paking syet! ang haba ng tittle!), don't you just sometimes feel like he has six fingers??? Bwehehehehehehehe! Magic!
In a couple of days I will be going back to a dream that I left a long time ago before college...I wanted to be in media! (Ok, I'm not fuc*#@ gay! I'm artistic...yun lang.) A friend of mine bragged to his other friend about the video that I did for Jan, and now they wanted me to become a cameraman for a day. The singing contest hosted by ABS-CBN is coming in town, and I'll be part of the team covering it. So if you see it, some shots would probably be mine. Cool!

DEATH BY GAME SHOW
Why is it that when Ed leaves there is always something bad that happens? First the King's son died, and now there were people killed at the Wowowee stampede. Last night I swore to God that I won't divulge his latest blunder on my blog. Although it kills me to stay quiet about it, I felt obliged to give him a little peace of mind that I won't tell. We told Jan though, when she made a one hour long distance call last night. Rich na e! Bwehehehe! Joke lang mareng Jan.
We were all saddened when Ed caught a plane out of this island. He had been such a good friend especially to me. Who can forget when one day he taught me how to drive using his old Toyota? I didn't! Swear to God man, you are on my list of people whom I won't forget. Living legend ka na yata.
I know that everyone was just hiding their feelings while we took all your stuff, including your mouthwash. In fact, I was soo hiding my emotions that I wanted to take home the toilet seat (naka-cemento lang talaga sya!). All that car care kit that I took means that I love you very much! Bwahahahaha!
It was fun ransacking his belongings that he was about to leave behind. It's like we were kids on top of Smokey Mountain! Let's do it again! =>
We also had fun talking to Bloody Janners last night. Now, that we were getting to know you too well, we could probably make a drawing of each emotion that you have shown us, just like an Emoticon. => Joke lang ha! No pun intended. We were just glad that you came to us on your desperate hour. Like we said, just look forward to the future. You're life is on a fast track. Your life can change in a minute. Kita mo you'll be happy again.

PYRO
"The stillness of the night air can bring many to sleep, but it also gives imagination and creativity to others. "
There were nights when we just stay outside my friends Bonjings gate and tell tall tales of our misfortunes and misadventures. The story lengthens to the topic of what we want to happen in the future. And as if the topic aint broad enough, we often landed on our "hate list", which is really long!
Bonjings house is the second to the last house on a dead end street. There is a lot, opposite to his place which is full of tall grass that we sometimes turn into our personal playground. At night we use to sit outside the gate with Elvin, Ruel and Sonny to talk about stuff. This is the most condusive place to chit-chat, because the place is dark and the narrow street is clean enough to sit on. Nobody, except his family passes by so there is total privacy. I learned to smoke in that place.
One time I brought a toy soldier, a couple of baby rockets, a match and a lighter fluid to his place. I figured that the burning soldier stunt would create a nice cinematic effect on our evening session.
First we strapped two baby rockets on the toy soldier to see if it would fly. We lit the rockets and... boom! It's too heavy! (we all laughed in synchrony: bwahahahahaha!)
We put two more on his back to try and make it slide down the pavement. But the rockets exploded the moment it lit up. (more laughter...but this time with a more sinister tone.)
Failure is not an option. Seeing the toy soldier be destroyed in to pieces is the most fun we had in days. So I put the toy soldier neer the edge of the canal...poured lighter fluid and torched it! Taa-daaaaaa!!! And then we kicked it down the canal just as soon as it melted.(we all appluaded for the cool grand finale!)
But the grand finale of all is when Bonjing made a hexagram on their neighbors back gate using the lighter fluid. It burned like the one we saw in the movie! But then we heard a noise from the other side of the gate, and we started to run for it!
The next day, there was a charred hexagram on the neighbors gate. (Applause!)
That was maybe more than 10years ago. Now we are all mature (huh?) and respectable (huuuhhhh???) citizens. Bonjing is now living in Japan with his long time girlfriend Letlet. I wonder if there would be another when we can burn something up again. Ahhh! I forgot that we were singing a song when we did that, "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica. Pero sana next time barbeque na lang! =>

SOPAS
After midnight, our favorite hang-out when we're hungry (especially kapag lashing na sa inuman) is the place called "Galvez". Originally a Pandesal Bakery, they transformed the place into a small karinderia that serves champorado, lugaw, monggo soup, sopas, fried egg, hotdogs (all kinds...kaya mo ba to?), tuyo, tinapa (?) and occassionaly fried rice.
My favorite is the Sopas made of macaroni, chicken and left over hotdogs (ito kaya ko). Put a lot of black pepper and a side order of hot pandesal and it sends me right away to bed. Ahhhh... It's a bit far from our place and we have to walk several blocks to get there but the food is worth it. But even if the food is good, I don't eat there alone. Wala kasi akong tattoo sa pwet na satellite.

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
Being an insomniac is fun. (Insomniac in teenage lingo is to stay up late in the night and sleep the whole day.) I got to see how peaceful a normally very noisy neighborhood during the day. Since Navotas main income is from the fish market (that sells fish wholesale during the night), there are restaurants and turo-turo that are open until sunrise. (That goes to the beer gardens too.) The agenda of every teen at that time is to make phone calls. We would stay at Elvin’s house, which is notorious for out of school friends to hang out and line up to use their phone. My friends would hog the phone to annoy unknown residents in the middle of the night and fish for a phone-pal. As a result, everybody stays up until morning until they got to talk to their girl. Everybody has one, except for me. I was the shy type back then, and I never liked the idea of introducing my self to just anyone. I don’t even know what they look like! Anyways, there was a time when Nanay Belle bought a speaker phone, and there was one girl who SOP-ied with all the boys in the room! Jackpot! You can bet that all of us were present the next night for a repeat. Unfortunately, it was a one time only opportunity.
INSOMNIAC
There was a time in my life when sleep was less of a priority, especially during high school. My friends would brag about watching the “Head-bangers Ball” on MTV a little before 2am on a regular basis. As an avid fan of heavy metal music, and wanting to be in the “in crowd” I needed to be awake rather than sleep after 9pm. At first, I was the worst wannabe-insomniac you can ever meet. From my bedtime of 9pm, I can only stay up until 12 midnight. There were times when I managed to stay up until 1:30am and fall asleep just before my favorite show starts. (sanababits!!!) Or there were occasions when I made it through 3am (yahoo!!!) and forget that the show was not going to air because it’s a Sunday.
During college, less sleep is required to keep up with my studies. (yes, I studied…) Having a 7am to 7pm schedule kept me occupied most of those years. And when I got to internship I literally have to stay awake during night shifts at the hospital. It continued until I started to work in the hospital for 5 years.
After going abroad and having a permanent A.M. shift, I forgot all about staying up late at night. Even the habit of staying awake when I had problems became non-existent. I learned to sleep through it, which was a blessing (I know it’s unnatural.) Now I have to re-learn the whole thing because of Diego. There coffee I know, but sometimes it’s really hard. Sometimes I wanted to do the Ibong Adarna technique but it’s too painful. (When you feel sleepy slice your forearm with a sharp blade and squeeze kalamansi on it. That would make anyone wide awake!) Now we’re up to the challenge to find the holy grail of parenting…to give our baby a long relaxing sleep.
Zzzzzzzzzzz…….

SLEEP
MAGDALO
I salute him for being so courageous to prove his point. I can feel the spirit of love of his country through his words of nationalism. How many of us feels this way after the Peso has lost its value throughout the years, or after one politician fucked up the justice system for his own good one term after the other?
Special request lang po: How about taking a shit in front of your enemies house, and take a picture of it?

DEATH = HOLIDAY
In the last year GCC world leaders have been dying of poor health and old age. There was the death of the King of UAE, King of Saudi, Prime Minister of UAE, son of the King of Bahrain, and just this morning we received a news of the death of the King of Kuwait! All these guys had been given a 3 day non-working holiday, except for the UAE Prime and the Kings son. We already had a very long holiday starting from "Hajj". And now we have to take 3 more days of for the recent death. The
Now I'm sitting here at the lab waiting for the doctor to get done with his procedure so that I can go home. I can't wait to go home and lay down in our new orthopedic bed. Ahhhh…the bed…..
But what can I do but wait. Check the picture of the lady who won 3 gold medals. Doesn't she look so much like actress Joyce Jimenez?

WHATS UP?
Soon I will be launching my very own blogsite. Why? I don't really know. I just felt that there are topics that doesn't suit "the honeyspot". I will be coming up with a theme like, being a husband or a father etc. Kinda like my own version of the "vagina monologue". I was also thinking of calling it " the penis monologue".
Fafa Ed is back in town, and we're glad to see him! I got the chance to have a little chat with him this afternoon to hear a few things about our cabron's in the UK and how their life has changed after Bahrain. Yeah, their life changed. We just hope that they won't change. Peoples behavior and character most of the time changes with the environment.
We finished season 5 of CSI Vegas!!! Awesome!!! Quentin Tarantino rules! Those 7 bloody DVD's are enough to keep us glued to the screen. This week we'll watch season 4. Sarah said it doesn't have much difference if we watch 5 ahead of 4. Not much has happened with regards to their personal lives. Hmmmm.... I will tell you when we finish season 4.
Yesterday the King's son died from a car accident. It's so ironic! His car slammed on a lamp post with his fathers picture on it, in a place where they built the F1 race course. If I was a fictional writer I could have written a novel about it. But I'm only a blogger and I can only write about myself.

INSPIRATION IN 2006
Lately, I haven't found the perfect topic to blog in the year 2006. I use to go to my favorite blogsite's to find inspiration, but the more I read them, the more tempting it gets to steal their ideas and incorporate it in my blog! Hehehe! But I can't do that. I don't have the guts to piss my blog-idols, right? Instead, I decided to write a list of the funniest and the coolest domain names that I know. Here it goes...
