it's gone. the madness, it's gone.

life was feeling pretty chipper when it decided to black out all of sta. rosa today. (yep, i've learned a new word.) anyway, thanks to jam, who preserved my sanity, i turned out fine.

although, in the span of time wherein the power was out, i couldn't help but:

• engage in a few lightsaber duels
• practice violin
• kumapa ng kanta sa piano (i was able to find the chorus of signs)
  
• role-play with my toys, involving my SP as a laptop
• have aragorn slay a three-times-bigger-than-him buzz lightyear
• sing my lungs out (bo-style :D)
  
• read the english book. the first few parts are about mythology - nothing new there. roman mythology should never ever EVER be mixed with greek; although it is arbitrarily the same, the names don't go well each other.
• eat those damn delicious fudge-filled cupcakes.
• play with the small batmobile.

it's always fun to go back to your roots and unleash thy imagination.

the news will display anything.

i can hear my dad in the other room tune in to TV patrol, and they're doing a coverage on Idol. if you didn't know already, carrie won.

the thing is, it's amazing how the philippines will cover something like this. i'm not sure about the demographics that Idol hits, but if it's hitting the "masses", then i'll be. the news will make sense. but if not, why bother?

it's really amazing that the news will make a fuss out of that.

(8) the trouble with duff is... (8)

i've just heard the song what dreams are made of, not because i wanted to, but because justin was tuned in to disney channel. and as you know, they like to play songs from their movies (it's actually not half-bad. a whole new world is addictive) and this is what came out, due to the lizzie movie showing on tv on saturday.

what i believe the problem with hilary duff and her music career isn't her excessive arm fat, nor her teeny-bopper sound (although fly sort of gets rid of that), but because she's not made to sing. (duhhh.)

she's straining her voice on the songs, making them sound horrible. if she's so rich, she should get some voice lessons. have you heard fly? it's horrible because she sounds too flat.

so what should she do about that? learn from whitney houston or celine dion, i guess. or to fellow disney star christy carlson-romano. she can sing.

my sibings will ask me for anything.

the other day i got an email from friendster saying i had a message from my outreach bro bibo. once i read it, i was doomed to laughter. here's what he said (bibo kung nabasa mo 'to, peace tayo, ha? :P):

hi pep advance happy b day muzta na tol
hehehehe!!!!!

lapit na b day mo libre ka ha or punta ka na lang
d2 samin heheheh!!!! tol may kilala ka bang ****
**** (name censored for privacy reasons. -pepseeh)
kasi kita ko album nya may pic sya dun sa
emmaus sa isang store nag outreach daw cla !!!!
tol paki sabi na lang add nya ko ha
bibo_hotdog08@yahoo.com wak mo kalimutan
add nya ko ha

now, i don't know how to respond to this. of course, i should thank him for greeting me in advance. but to actually grant him his request? i don't know... he's done this before with kim (which was easier for him to reach since me and kim were partners in the outreach) but this time, this is a bit more out of my jurisdiction.

anyway, i told him in my reply that i would try, but i'm not promising anything. i'm telling you, this would be interesting - i get to play matchmaker. again. sorta. oh, you know.

hold fast!

the were-jam comes upon us!

six random rants.

6. you cannot kill what is already dead. (if you cannot defeat yunalesca, keep this in mind.)

5. champ from hale looks gay. *hides from vicky*

4. someone in the brainburst forums has used my lovely avatar. well, at least he thinks it's cool. (it's a glowing fiery temper.)

3. what is it with the lead vocalist of sandwich and his slightly nasal singing voice? i hate it.

2. "well, hello there!"
"'well, hello there!'? that's the best you can come up with? all those years training in the jedi temple and the best you can come up with is 'well, hello there!'?"

1. watch out for the new teleserye (produced and written by the noypidity family) called "Mahal Ko Si Marc Abaya". it's outrageous, i tell you. (literally and figuratively.)

do the math.

13 days. (sorry yaps, i'd rather not go the javascript way.)

don't shoot the messenger. nor the journalist. nor the blogger.

in the midst of my smackdown vs. raw gaming this afternoon, i switched channels (due to the now loading screen) and stumbled upon a commercial for a journalist's summit whose name i don't recall right now. (the commercial is on mtv, i think. look for it if you're interested.) the commercial was stating that 500 journalists were killed over the last 10 years - 'cause the Powers That Be (tm) don't like what they're hearing.

i started thinking... if they can have journalists killed because they spread "propaganda", what more of bloggers? we spread info too, you know... at least, the serious ones.

what do you think? will we have bulls-eyes on our foreheads in the near future?

take just one last look at excellence.

i've said it many times before - i'll miss this class. the little black notebook, the thin orange notebook, and the small grey filler (aka 1.5) reminded me of all this.

who's that hot guy behind annal, aleia and the others? he reminds me of someone...

it's been said that these three words increase hits: matteo guidicelli pictures. who knows?

happy birthday rod ;)

happy birthday rodney!

bahay mo, ah.

this makes me scream like a little girl

eeeeee!

heck, if i can run generals and rise of nations decently, then my pc can run that.

anyway, sta. rosa is still in the spotlight. still no plans of being an extra.

you gotta watch the news. it's good for you.

one, the government is passing a bill to "outlaw the discrimination of the third sex". tae naman eh. this takes the fun away from everything; i'm suspecting this is senator osmena's doing. tae.

two, our mayor has been assassinated earlier today. by a woman. (yaps hihirit ka ba?) the popular theory as of now is that it was the NPA's doing. apparently their modus operandi is that if they need to assassinate a man, a woman gets the gun, and vice versa.

and because of this, GMA, ABS-CBN, and the other stations are setting up camp in our backyard. julius babao has broadcasted the news live earlier today, complete with the jologs who pose as extras in the background.

three, although unrelated, defenders of the catholic faith (aka those who have joined in the fray versus 77truthseeker) would might want to go read this; it concerns the two personas of 77truthseeker and god_jesus_810.

the reason mariah carey is such a good singer is because her lungs are big.

ow.

my dog just bit me. who's betting on rabies?

insidious dreams. 2.

just woke up from the most unusual dream last night. thankfully, it wasn't bad (nor wet, leiron), but i'm still trying to figure it out.

Your Birthdate: June 1

Your birthday suggests that are executive ability and leadership qualities in your makeup. A birthday on day 1 of any month gives a measure of will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush. You may be sensitive, but your feelings stay rather repressed.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

that last sentence makes some sort of sense.

Your Japanese Name Is...

Daiki Anenokoji

What's your Japanese Name?

eh?

Your True Birth Month Is June

Fussy Abiding Friendly Stubborn Talkative Sensitive Executive Hesitating Easily hurt Active mind Easily bored Daydreamer Loves to joke Tends to delay Temperamental Brand conscious Loves to dress up Having lots of ideas Good debating skills Funny and humorous Thinks far with vision Prone to getting colds Polite and soft-spoken Able to show character Seldom show emotions Knows how to make friends Easily influenced by kindness Takes time to recover when hurt Choosy and always wants the best Those who love me are enemies; Those who hate me are friends

What's Your True Birth Month?

wahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. he's got that right. but what's with that girl in the bikini?

Your #1 Match: ESTP

The Doer You are adventurous and risk taking. You act first, think second. You love being the center of attention. Chances are you were the class clown. Competitive, charming, and charasmatic - you have your own code of honor. You live a flexible life, bouncing between a series of activies that interest you. You would make a great salesperson, marketing director, or entrepreneur.

Your #2 Match: ESFP

The Performer You are a natural performer and happiest when you're entertaining others. A great friend, you are generous, fun-loving and optimistic. You love to laugh - and you like almost all people equally. You accept life as it is, and you do your best to make each day fantastic. You would make a good actor, designer, or counselor.

Your #3 Match: ESTJ

The Guardian You're a natural leader and quick, logical decision maker. Goals are important in your life, and you take many steps to acheive them. You enjoy interacting with others, mostly through work related activities. Your high energy level means you are great at getting things done! You would make a great teacher, judge, or police detective.

Your #4 Match: ENTP

The Visionary You are charming, outgoing, friendly. You make a good first impression. You possess good negotiating skills and can convince anyone of anything. Happy to be the center of attention, you love to tell stories and show off. You're very clever, but not disciplined enough to do well in structured environments. You would make a great entrpreneur, marketing executive, or actor.

Your #5 Match: ESFJ

The Caregiver You are sympathetic and caring, putting friends and family first. A creature of habit, you prefer routines and have trouble with change. You love being in groups - whether you're helping people or working on a project. You are good at listening, laughing, and bringing out the best in people. You would make a great nurse, social worker, or teacher.

What's Your Personality Type?

so. what do you make of that?

what is that?

if you were wondering what that little button below the comments link was, first i'd have to suggest you click on it before you ask. (i mean, duh. :P)

but anyway if anyone needs explaining, it's a little project that the Great Minds™ that documents all stupid (and therefore funny) answers to be heard on Wowowee. if you wanna follow along, tune in to ABS-CBN at 1 o' clock - monday through saturday.

i fixed the link to my wishlist, in accordance to yaps's comment. :D if you're still interested in it, click here.

[edit] little anti-truthseekerism joke. sneaked it offa RD and twisted it a bit. that's acknowledgment for you :P

it was the first year of religion class, and this six-year-old kid is already starting to argue the lessons with the teacher.

the teacher taught the class that "God made everything", but the kid (let's call him Stanford :P) immediately stood up and objected.

"God doesn't make everything," Stanford argued. "most things are made in China."

eh. kids :P [/edit]

only girls like shopping, right?

responses to blogs is at an all-time low, but i guess i can't do anything about that.

here's my froogle wishlist. very unbecoming of a guy, but the things on the list are mostly stuff that guys like. (i'm not going to say that they're guy stuff for fear of gender discrimination accusations.) but please someone get me the edge book first. i heard it's a good read and i'm dying to get my hands on it.

ripped this offa joe's blog. hope he doesn't mind. you don't mind, do you, joe? :P
