No matter how hard I try, I just can't get over this overwhelming feeling for my new boss. I couldn't even compose a blog about him...but I'll try.
Dear Boss,
You are a plague.
Love,
Employee of the month

BABY DUTY
It's baby duty tonight for me. My wife left for work at a little past nine, and I'm alone with my little angel. The thought of this moment changes my mood sometimes. Our first night together without his mom was really bad. He woke up at about 1:30am and never slept until his mom got home. I tried to go to work the next day but I felt so damn sleepy. All I could think about that time was to find a hiding place at work to snooze.
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!!!
Before our good buddy Ed left, we sort of swapped Mp3 files. His music collection was on his trusty external hard drive, and mine on my ever dependable desktop pc. It's no surprise that we had a lot of mp3 files in common. Afterall, I burned a few CD's for him a long time ago. But to my surprise, he had a collection of Johnny Cash songs stashed in his "my music" folder. I figured, what the hell is honky-tonk music doing in his hard drive? I know he's from Texas, but he ain't no American cowboy. He's a Pinoy cowboy! (Meron bang Pinoy Cowboy? O "katutubo" ang tawag dun?)The one that eats one day old egg and drinks gin in the middle of a street. Hee-hee! But whatever, I only knew one song from tough old Johnny, "The Ring of Fire". And I didn’t like it because I'm a fan, but because they played it in Joaquin Phoenix's movie about Johnny Cash. Yes, I'm a Joaquin Phoenix fan. And if I can change my name, it would be Joaquin. Just don't call me "wack-wack". You crazy people already called my son "Dieg-dieg"! One day I'll throw my baby's soiled diaper on you for doing so.
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 have been at the lab since 7am in the morning working on one procedure. The whole thing including the preparation of media can be done in less than two hours. Now it's about 10:30 am, and I have wasted most of my time waiting for the doctors to come and do their patient.
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
A couple of days ago I recieved a message on our tag-board apparently coming from a bakery. He said something about a person listed on my "link's section" about his ethics. My question is: "Are cake designs suppossed to be patented?" The only thing I know about pastries is to eat it. So to you Mr. Cakeperson, don't take it out on me because I linked Alex Franco on my site. If you have any grudge on him, please don't involve me in it. Don't be like a little girl! =>
(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
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.
