Some useless blathering, Barbie, and more useless blathering

Finally, after ages of waiting, we now have an internet conncetion at home. It's dial-up though, so that means I have to endure surfing through the net at a pathetic and measly 44kbps. So as early as now I say goodbye to all the MMORPG's I could be playing, not to mention playing DOTA online. Sigh.

On the more "positive" side, I have a job again. It doesn't pay much, but it's work. I've grown tired of the frowns my father likes to sport whenever I announce that I've turned down another job offer - for legitimate reasons (at least for me). It's just bad timing that I'm currently suffering from a serious case of laziness. Last night, I went to bed at around 9pm - which is really early, since I usually sleep at around 12am onwards - and I just woke up. More than 12 hours of sleep and I'm still sleepy. (yawns)

Anyway, after I drag myself to the dirty kitchen and help my mom with the laundry (because I am such a nice boy) I might get to watching more 'House MD' episodes on DVD again. Yay!

I'd like to take this opportunity to brag and show you some pictures I took of the ever-so-cute adorable Barbie Almalbis. I took all of them at a Christian concert I went to a couple of weeks ago.
Barbie is 1337 cu73Z0rZ!



I did take more, but since I'm lousy with a camera and I just kept shooting, they aren't too good so I won't post them. It also didn't help that I was ogling like some stupid teenager and positively enthralled by her voice - and I don't usually get starstruck.

Darn it, she's so cute. Gringo's boy is sooooo bloody lucky.

Sure, you can link me. ;) I'd be happy to link you, too, except that I'll have to ask for your last name. (I figured you were Tim) My links page has full names in it. You okay with that? Haha.

(I actually posted that in your tag-board, but something went wrong, and I think I might have screwed up your tag-board. Sorry, hehehe.)

A friend and I used to sing this song a lot, and it was quite a long time ago. But I still remember all the words to the damn thing. Hahahahaha!


Ghost
Indigo Girls

There's a letter on the desktop
that I dug out of the drawer,
the last truce we ever came to
in our adolescent war.
And I start to feel the fever
from the warm air through the screen.
You come regular, like seasons,
shadowing my dreams.

And the Mississippi's mighty,
but it starts in Minnesota,
at a place that you could walk across with five steps down.
And I guess that's how you started,
like a pinprick through my heart.
But at this point, you rush right through me, and I start to drown.

And there's not enough room
in this world for my pain.
Signals cross and love gets lost
and time past makes it plain:
of all my demon spirits,
I need you the most.
I'm in love with your ghost.

Dark and dangerous like a secret
that is whispered in a hush.
When I wake, the things I dreamt
About you last night make me blush.
And you kiss me like a lover,
Then you sting me like a viper.
I go follow to the river,
play your memory like a piper.

And I feel it like a sickness,
how this love is killing me.
I'd walk into the fingers
of your fire willingly,
and dance the edge of sanity.
I'd never been this close,
in love with your ghost.

Unknowing captor, you never know
how much you pierce my spirit,
I can't touch you. Can you hear it,
a cry to be free?
Oh, I'm forever under lock and key
as you pass through me.

Now I see your face before me,
oh, I would launch a thousand ships
to bring your heart
back to my island, as the sand
beneath me slips.
And as I burn up in your presence,
and I know now how it feels
to be weakened like Achilles,
with you always at my heels.

And this bitter pill I swallow
is the silence that I keep.
It poisons me, I can't swim free --
the river is too deep.
Though I'm baptized by your touch,
I am no worse than most,
in love with your ghost.

Tangina, no? Ba't kaya ang bitter natin?? Hahahahaha!
Peachy said…
Wow, talaga? Louis Armstrong, huh. I'll see if I can download that.

Bat of kors we're bitter! And what's worse is that we don't even try to disguise it. But as far as masking it goes, I think I fare waaaaay better than you do.

Hahaa, kidding. ;)

Strange tales

I am aimlessly wandering through cyberspace, looking for things to help pass the time - browser games, blogs, poems, manga - waiting for the dismissal bell to ring. Deadline's almost over, and all that's left to do are some late revisions. Two days more 'til Friday. Yes, I am counting, and I am looking forward to doing something different for a change. Something to break the sad, bland routine of my life. I say thanks in advance to that brave soul who's never seen me but was nice enough to agree to wait an extra four hours just to watch a movie with me. Just please, please, please don't kill me. ----------- How's this for strange: along my boredom-induced travels in the web, I have met someone who's almost completely like S - entirely by accident. I meant to never write anything - even the smallest thing - about her ever again, but this is just too richly entertaining to pass up. They look the same, think the same, were born the same month, have almost the

No Rest for the Damned

I stare at the blinking cursor in front of me and wonder what’s next. I let myself get swallowed up by the monotony of office life: wake up, eat, travel, work, sleep; I try to revel in its off-white walls and the cacophony of voices that course through my head like nails scratching a blackboard. Funny, that word – blackboard – like my mood, black and bored, or better yet, like me – a black board. But the human tendency for self-preservation drives me to find things to fill the void; sometimes with fleeting trifles I try in vain to attach meanings to, or sometimes with things intangible and profound, like hope, or faith. But it seems that there is no rest for the dammed. Damned by the reminders of past mistakes, damned by the hollow tedium of today, and damned by the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Or it could be that I’m really just bitter, as someone pointed out not so long ago. Not a bad conclusion, really, with me allowing myself to be consumed by memories of failure, or by the bana

Judge the movie by its trailer

I am totally beside myself after watching the trailer for Ghost Rider . Never mind the technical errors such as Blackheart being described as "the son of the devil himself" - when he's just Mephisto's son, or that a part of the trailer that is - if I'm not mistaken - grammatically incorrect, or at least could be written better. I still can't wait to see the 1337 leather jacket and 1337 chain, the 1337 bike, and the h0t Eva Mendes. The flaming skull-head could use a bit more work though. Nevertheless, I'm quite sure that I'm going to be one of those lining up to see it come February next year. On a different note, The Devil Wears Prada looks quite promising. Meryl Streep as a soft spoken (in the trailer, at least) but very b*tchy cutthroat EIC for a fashion magazine and Anne Hathaway as her un-fashionable assistant might be the low-of-lows plot wise, but it's the possibility of great, not to mention amusing, perfomances from the actors that I
