Cebu Guitar Festival 007

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

 

The Outpost, November 22, 23, and 24. Another reason why I fell in love with Cebu is because just like me, Cebu loves music. Cebu is the guitar capital of the Philippines not only because they create the best quality guitars in the country, their musicians ROOOOOOOCK!

3 days of Rockin and Rollin is enough to give this girl a whiplash injury.

Wave of Sorrow

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

I got this email this morning, and I am inspired… I'm a huge U2 fan, and I wish Bono would ask me to marry him because I'd say yes in a heartbeat. (I can dream, can't I?) I'm just so in love with this man. Below is the email sent by iLike on Facebook.

***

Dear iLike user on Facebook,

I'm writing to tell you about an amazing video clip that U2 has just posted on iLike - it means a lot to me and I think it's a little bit of rock'n'roll history.

(Forgive me for the mass email — we've never done this before. I've included my email address below if you want to contact me.) -edit: I am going to remove his email address because this is not on facebook, ok?

Today, U2 used iLike to post a personal message from Bono, singing - and talking us through - "Wave of Sorrow". It's a track that U2 demoed during sessions for The Joshua Tree in 1987. Just recently Bono laid down vocals for the song and it will be released for the first time next week on the remastered release of The Joshua Tree. As Bono plays us the track, he also tells the powerful story of the song. I found it quite moving!

Since we started iLike a year ago, our vision has been to bring people together through music. As others follow U2's lead, this could transform how artists connect with fans. To get concert alerts & content from other artists, tell us which artists you like.

Sincerely,
Hadi Partovi, co-founder, iLike

p.s. On a personal note, I was in the room when this video was filmed. My brother recorded it on his cameraphone. Now that's a memory to treasure!

The Moalboal Escapade

Monday, November 12, 2007

 

 

I wanted to go to Moalboal because I've never been there in the almost 4 years I've stayed here in Cebu. So I decided to go to Moalboal and invited whomever would come.

Date: November 10 to 11, 2007
Travel time ~ 2 hours by private car (~200KM)
Company: Steven, Cristy, Bekah, Bubbles, and Ced
Transportation: Steven's Isuzu Alterra

Among my officemates, only Steven and Cristy could come. Among my evil ampao girls, only Ced, Bubbles, Bekah and Catt could be there. (Catt was already there with her lovey dovey Will the day before.)

We left at 1PM as Ced gets off work at 12NN. Steven was awesome enough to bring his spankin brand new Isuzu Alterra so we travelled in style. The damn SUV even has monitors behind the headrests of the driver and front passenger seats so the passengers at the back could watch TV or movies! So I brough a 16-in-1 DVD. We chose a movie which all of us haven't seen yet. We chose Ten for Starters (This is not a movie review post so I'm not going to talk about the movies, ok?) Since there were only 6 of us and the car was so spacious you could actually sprawl, our travel was so relaxing and comfortable.

Bekah and I had already bought groceries earlier in the day, but we stopped over the local market near Moalboal to buy mineral water, ice, fruits, fresh fish and pork (the evil ampao girls do not eat pork but my Focus kids will bawl if I didn't buy pork.)

In Moalboal, we stayed in a huge room in Delgado's Resort in front of the awesome beach that could have more than 10 people rest comfortably for only Php1200/night. Since we are the kind who do not require hot showers, bath tubs, or in-house restaurants to survive, this place was perfect for us. Actually, all we need is a clean toilet. That's it.

We prepared, cooked, grilled our own food. It's so much funner.

I had such an amazing time. I luff it so much!

Reunited.

Friday, November 9, 2007

 

I could just cry now. I thought I lost you for good, even though I had a feeling deep inside me that you'd come back, that you wouldn't give up on me too. I didn't know where you were for 4 days. I never stopped looking for you.

Now you're back! I couldn't be any happier! I could see that you are so exhausted. It took you a very long time to come to when I placed you in your cradle. Oh my XDA IIs! I'm so happy you're back in my arms! I luff you!

`sj

P.S.

Please don't be jealous of N95. I'm thankful that he kept me company while you were gone, but he knows, you know, and I know that he could never take your place in my heart. And I want to thank the very honest people of Iloilo for giving me my baby back.

Revisiting My Genesis

Thursday, November 8, 2007

I don't know what came into me, but I wanted to see the house I was born in… it's an old house my grandparents used to rent. I had wonderful memories of my very early years in that place.

This is how it looks now… well nothing really changed. It still looks the same way it always did… I think. (click to see a bigger picture)

My ex-boyfriend and I were having a discussion as to why it came to me to visit that house. He thought I might be unhappy, or depressed or something… I thought about it and accessed my real emotions and tried to see if I were really depressed or unhappy…

Then it hit me. It was the opposite. I have never really acknowledged where I came from. I wanted to see it again because I wanted to acknowledge and embrace the simplicity of my beginning. I am proud of it. I am happy of who I am now and I have so many possibilities ahead of me that I went back to thank my past.

The Awesome Malapascua Adventure

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

It was almost like we we were in the Reality TV series Survivor. The participants: Michelle, Bekah, Kuya Mike, Ced, and me. No rented rooms, no resort, no electricity, Just a dilapidated shack whith holes on its ceiling, sleeping bags, a portable stove, lighters, rhum and coke, Beka's and Mich's whole kitchen in a pail, noodles, oats, veggies of all sorts, condiments and spices, even popcorn. We all met at Mich's place in Mactan so we could leave together.

Mactan to Maya
Departure from Mactan: 4AM
Travel time: ~ 4 hours
Mode of Transportation: Hitch a ride with Joey and Anne (who were scuba diving in Malapascua)
Payment: None. Free. Hurhurhur.

(Click on the image to see a bigger version) 


Leaving Mich's place at around 4AM. Bringing the whole kitchen to Malapascua.

Some of the exciting things you can do on a 4 hour trip: sleep.

Maya to Malapascua Island:
Travel time: ~ 45 minutes
Mode of Transportation: Ferry Ride
Payment: Php40.00 per person

1st image: Anne, Joey, Kuya Mike, Mich, Ced, and Bekah. 2nd image: Mich and her Uncle Mike, the coolest uncle niece combo. 3rd image: Bekah , me, and Ced.

When we got to Malapascua, Joey and Anne stayed on the main beach. The five of us went to the other side of the island where there's no resort, just local houses, fishermen's boats and a whole stretch of awesome beach. We just paid Php20.00 per person for the motorcycle ride that would take us to the other side of the island.

The only not so nice thing about the whole trip was the sun kept hiding behind the clouds! But that never dampened our spirits and in fact, the rain added adventure factor to the whole thing because we had no real shelter! Just a dilapidated shack with holes on the ceiling! It was pitch black at 7PM because like I said, no electricity. We cooked on Ced's portable butane stove and 3 stones that forms a triangle and used dead, dry leaves to make fire. We cooked noodles, vegetebale stew, pasta, oats, hell even popcorn (yummiest popcorn by the way.)Who said you need lots of monies to get on an adventure?

It was one of the best trip I've ever had. Just amazing.

When it is what it is.

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

 

When you are in a circumstance where there's no other option but to go through it, and no amount of cussing, or shouting will make any difference, accept your circumstance, and smile.

I was writing a dear friend about what I went through last night and I'm posting it here to share it with everyone as well.

Smiles and laughter should always be in abundance. Even in the face of adversity.

After work yesterday, I hitched a ride with Steven. He was on his way to Mactan so he couldn't drop me off where he usually does and since we were still having fun talking, we agreed that he drop me off Gaisano Super Metro in Mandaue. It's far from my place but I told myself maybe I could check out their shoes and clothes–if I'm lucky, I could find a really good bargain. Also, maybe they have flavored Quaker Oats in the grocery department. So I went down at Gaisano Super Metro. After an hour of browsing through the shoe shelves and clothes racks, absolutely nothing caught my fancy. So I decided to go down to the groceries and buy my Quaker Oats.

 After I bought 8 packs each of my favorite flavors (Strawberry, Cinnamon Roll and Hazelnut), I was ready to go home. When I got out of Metro, it was raining HEAVILY, and I didn't have an umbrella. Hundreds of people were outside waiting for jeepneys and taxis. Note: It was my first time there, and I was alone.  I didn't know where to go or where to get a cab. People were all over the place, the rain was making fun of everyone, everyone does not trust everyone, everyone was desperate to go home, and despearate times call for desperate measures. I was out there running in the rain, hailing cabs,getting inside only to have my ass rejected by the cab drivers because my place was the other way around.

On my way back to the shed, an elderly woman opened her umbrella right into my face making the entire length of the umbrella's cloth wipe my face before it came to a full open (I am now convinced I have superhuman powers to control my anger). By now, I was dripping wet from head to foot, my shoe was about to give up from the abuse, and to think that the ONLY thing I bought from that place was QUAKER OATS! I was ready to cry and scream… Then I decided to cross the road and stand in the rain for however long it would take. A little later I finally got a taxi. When I got in, I swore I am never going back to that place again… then I smiled… then I laughed… Were the 24 packs of flavored quaker oats I bought worth all that trouble? HELL FUCKING YEAH! You have no idea how much I love my Strawberry, cinnamon roll, and hazelnut flavored quaker oats.

But still, I am never going back to that place alone again! Hahahah!

Funny grin on my funny face.

It's funny… how a "You have a new message from…" can make me jump out of my skin from excitement… and make me smile and daydream for days at end. I am such a funny girl.

Goodbye to the 10 year old habit.

It's been 3 days since my last cigarette. This time, it's gonna work because I'm doing it for myself and not for anyone else. Sure, I get the urges and the crazies sometimes and it's a real awful mental and emotional struggle. Sometimes, I get this mental image of wanting to smash myself against a wall. Yeah, it's that insane. The withdrawal symptoms are just as awesome.

I can has hadaches.

 The attitude from hell.

I stuff my mouth with just about anything. (Don't even start getting funny ideas. Hell hath no fury like a woman going through cold turkey)

Major spacing out. Dude… wait… fuck… what…?

Dizziness/numbness/lightheadedness almost similar to a trippy feeling. (why the fuck do hippie-looking characters keep crossing my mind??)

The constant urge to punch someone in the face.

Mental cussing galore. Hahaha! Fuck.
 

 

I am so gonna fucking make it. So help me God.

My Landmark Weekend

Monday, October 15, 2007

 

Words will fail me. It was just intense. Amazing to say the least. I don't think I can thank my company enough for giving me my Landmark Forum.

I cannot write how or what I went through because there are just no words to describe it.

WTF?!

Monday, October 8, 2007

A certain "BrOkEn-HeArTeD Society" requested to be added to my friends list in Friendster. He/She/It could be meaning well, but it rather induced a sudden, and involuntary "FUCK, WHAT?!" statement right out of my mouth.

First off, I am NOT broken-hearted, thank you very much. Being single is not synonymous to being broken-hearted. I am having the time of my life for being able to do whatever I want and not having to account to anyone. Of course I am not closing my doors to a romantic relationship, but until an awesome guy comes and sweep me off my feet, I would like to stay single.

Second, read #8 of my Pet Peeves post here.

I don't mean to sound rude but no, thanks.

Cosmic encounters

I'm still trying to figure out what hit me. It was gone as soon as it came. It hit me so fast my head is still spinning.

So now I'm still trying to relish the aftertaste. The smell still lingers. 

But it's gone. It never meant to stay.

It was a moment suspended in time, and space. But it was beautiful while it lasted.

Now the world has started revolving again.

Now life must move on.

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

I'm thinking, what the hell was I thinking?! Why did I even believe you?! And if anyone asked me if I wanted you back, the answer is a big fat fucking NO.

Bee: Err… who are you talking to?
Me: The bear.
Bee: The bear?
Me: Yes, the bear.
Bee: Why?
Me: Because, because, because

The awesome day that was Saturday.

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

 

It started as my ideal Saturday because it was not my schedule to work. I spent the whole morning at the virtual World called Second Life. It's like Sims, but you interact with real people. It's getting to be really addictive. You can change your appearance however you like, your clothes, you can find a job to get Linden dollars (the currency in SL) so you can rent or buy your own house, buy clothes and stuffs (though you can get some for free if you know where to look). Later in the afternoon, I watched Un Long Dimanche De Fiançailles (A Very Long Engagement) which Bee recommended after I told him I just watched Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain). God Bless Torrent. Both movies were directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and stars Audrey Tautou. I'm getting hooked on French movies these days. I loved both films but don't expect me make a movie review because I suck at that.

Later in the evening Badboy* and I went to Loft where we had Fried Oysters with Wasabi and Potato wedges. I had Bacardi+Coke while Badboy had SanMig Light. At around 11PM we went to D.P.'s* Farewell party at Cheaver's where we had Rhum-cola and Red Horse with the rest of the Focus peeps who were there.

Around midnight, some of the people went home and those of us who were left went to Pump so the boys could…well, what do boys do at Pump anyway? And me, I just went because I wanted to dance and I was too intoxicated to care where that would be.

And there, I met one HOT woman. I leave it to you to figure out what happens next.

*Their real names are withheld for the safety of my kittens.

Communication

Friday, September 14, 2007

 

If I were to be given the ability to read people's minds, I will gracefully decline the offer. Our mind is our own private nook in this universe. 

I want you to communicate with me with every part of your body you can use to get your message across. I will not read your mind even if I could. I don't want to gather thoughts and ideas not willingly given.

If you do not express yourself to me, forgive me should I assume. I know assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups but I need to have some sort of understanding of the situation. Let's help each other understand what is right. My understanding can only be based from what I observe. It's like connecting the dots. But you know what? It would be far more efficient and easier if you just TALKED to me.

And yes, I am communicating with you. Yes. YOU.

Interesting week I should say…

Sunday, September 9, 2007

 

The week that has just come to pass was fairly interesting. Last Wednesday, Keith decided to leave Focus so we threw him a farewell party. More than halfway through the bottle of Tanduay and 1.5 liter of Pepsi, I got a message that the induction of the Board of Directors for JCI Cebu-Mactan channel was about to start. It completely slipped my mind! So I got inducted as one of the Board of Directors of JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel DRUNK. I'm just glad I didn't fall while I was taking my oath.

Last Friday, I went with 2 of my friends to a (STOP! Ok, I don't want anyone to fall off their chair reading this, so let me warn you. Brace yourself…) to a Bible Reading.

 

Yes. ME. on a Friday night. With a Bible study group.

 

 

Why are you laughing? You are so bad. You are so going to hell.

 

 

Don't worry, I'm going with you. After that night, I am convinced that I am so going to hell.

Anyway, last Saturday, Steven and I went to Jazz n' Blues Bar. I was so green with envy at the people who were ballroom dancing that I hired one of the dance instructors to teach me ballroom dancing every Sunday afternoon. His name is Kurt.

 

No, he doesnt look like that. He's a 17 year old self-supporting gay so you can rest assured that there ain't going to be sexy time happening for me. I know. Sucks to be me.

So, today, I had my first lesson. We started with the basics of Cha-cha, Swing, Foxtrot, and Samba. After the first hour, Kurt asked me if I wanted to be his partner for the March 2008 Dancesports competition. NAKS! Hmm…Why not?

So it had been an unusual, busy week. And now I'm tired and sleepy. Goodnight dearies.

Bedtime Stories (Part 3)

Saturday, September 8, 2007

 

Coffee Theories

 

One afternoon, the Rose of Sharon and the Bee were having coffee in some coffee shop in Cyber Universe. They were having a conversation.

 

Sharon: Oh! Oh! I had formed this theory while I was having coffee earlier and I was reading a book called Nirvana in a Nutshell (one of the books I bought earlier)

Bee: oh?

Sharon: It said there, that everything happens for a reason… the universe is in constant motion and everything that happens moves in harmony with the rest of the universe.  It also said there that everything that happens lends a hand in the ever-expanding perfection of the universe… if indeed everything a happens for a reason, that everything will eventually conclude to a perfection, we wouldn’t be there to witness it right? Us, who lent a hand in its perfection.  Wouldn't that seem to be unfair? That we wouldn’t witness what we have helped to form? But I think it's not like that… we will witness it… only not in this world… I think, after we die, we move on to the next level dimension, sort of an upgraded world, where we understand the reasons of why things happened to us in the previous universe….

Bee: :)

Sharon: Do you know what I mean?

Bee: yes

Sharon: It's a second life of some sort… Maybe people there are more… I don't know… enlightened. It's a completely different world… with a completely different life… only we wouldn’t know what it is in this world.. because we are not "enlightened"Am I making sense?

Bee: Interesting view

Sharon: it's funny while I was thinking of it… I know the phrase "everything happens for a reason" is so cliche, but at that point, it had a completely different meaning to me…. like I was watching a guy walk… I thought every step he made happens for a reason… and if he suddenly gets hit by a car. that happens for a reason too

Bee: hehe

Sharon: then I watched a video from CNN earlier, where 2 small planes doing an airshow crashed into each other and killed both pilots… I asked, did that happen for a reason too?  I could just imagine the family of both pilots… if indeed everything happens for a reason, what purpose did their deaths serve? im sure the family deserves to know… but I guess they wouldn't in this lifetime…  but that's just my theory…

Sharon: i'm blabbing.

Bee: no no no. I like it. it's just that my view is that things don't happen for a reason.. at least my current view is that

Sharon: do you believe in aliens?

Bee: do you?

Sharon: yes

Bee: ya?

Sharon: only, i'm not sure if they really look like how the media feeds them to us

Bee: hehe

Sharon: yeah, I believe in aliens.

Bee: interesting

Sharon: come to think of it. you cannot begin to imagine how vast the universe is. our puny little minds cannot possibly imagine how huge the universe is. it's infinite. our own solar system, with our sun and all the 9 (or more planets within it) is just one of the billion other solar systems in the entire universe. Our galaxy (with all its planets, milky ways and black holes) is just a speck of dust in the entire universe.

Bee: true

Sharon: could you still think that we are the only things capable of thinking? maybe they dont breathe air, maybe their life system is completely different from ours… we cannot imagin them to be like us. but there are other "beings" out there.. Maybe they don't even "think" like us. maybe they have a completely different process of understanding things… maybe "understanding" is not even a process in their universe… maybe their entire process of doing things are completely different from ours. Oh our minds… our minds cannot possibly understand what we do not know. And even if the truth was laid before us, I don't think our minds can even begin to fathom everything.

Sharon: you must think i'm really weird now.

Bee: actually, you're practically reading from my mind

Sharon: so you believe in aliens too?

Bee: no, it's not like that, I don't believe in them, but I think it's statistically likely. scientists look for planets that might support life.. and carbon-based lifeforms. but who says carbon-based lifeforms are the only way?

Sharon: by readin your mind, do you mean to say, you think what I think too, or you agree that I think you think im weird?

Bee: what is "life" anyway? you know?

Sharon: it's a word… we needed to give words to thinks so we could understand each other.

Bee: I once read a sci-fi novel where, exploring the far reaches of the universe, a gas planet is discovered where massive, giant medusas made of hydrogen flock together intelligently. and I loved that book, because it has the same view I have. when I was a kid, I treated everything like it was alive, even objects  I think intelligence and life and lifeforms are very broad concepts, like love. They are very abstract, more than we think

Sharon: yeah. I used to give things I owned names too.

Bee: no, not names. like they were alive

Sharon: I gave them names because I treated them like they were alive. Now I stopped doing that. because I thought they developed feelings. Haha!

Bee: i'm not some gaia-ascribing new age type, but I do know that we don't know shit

Bee: aliens? I think there are forces everywhere, of a level I don't even bother to think about. you know what I mean?

Sharon: yes. energies are something i'm very interested in too.

 

 

Ooops, my intergalactic bus is here. Sorry can’t fill you in with the rest of their conversation. I gottsa go! More to come next time.

Ciao!

Last Song Syndrome

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

Question of Lust
Depeche Mode

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

Its a question of lust
Its a question of trust
Its a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realize)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyones
And you know

Its a question of lust
Its a question of trust
Its a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that i'd
Rather be home

My Natural Highs…

Saturday, September 1, 2007

 

 

So I’ve shared my pet peeves. Now I’m sharing my natural highs.

Here are some of them. (Not in any order)

 

  • Going home to my family in Iloilo on long vacations.

  • White sand beaches.

  • Waking up on a weekday and realizing that you don't have to go to work because it's a holiday.

  • Paydays. Who doesn't love pay days right?

  • Laughing with friends. I laugh easily, and my friends are funny. So I’m mostly happy when I’m with them.

  • Receiving sincere messages (email, IM, or SMS) from someone special. (By sincere, I don't mean forwarded messages.)

  • Hearing one of my favorite songs from out of the blue. Especially where you least expect it. Like… in a public market or something.

  • Dancing

  • The moment warm (shower) water hits my face, head, down to my body after a day of cleaning the house and getting dirty.

  • Falling in love.

  • Warm Brownie cups ala mode at La Marea. Chocolote orgasms.

My Pet Peeves.

Sunday, August 26, 2007

1. Cab drivers who do not carry change.

The perfect pooper for a good morning. I pay P100 for a P70 fare and he'd say "I don't have change for this". I always get this are-you-fucking-kidding-me look in my face. I wish I could tell him "Do I look like a freaking coin purse to you? You're lucky I have a hundred with me right now because I mostly only carry five-hundreds or one-thousands!"

Well that's not entirely true. I just wanted to sound like somebody if I had to bite someone's head off.

2. Neighbors who sing on their "Magic Sing" or Karaoke with their volume turned all the way up in the middle of the night.

We have this neighbor who does that. There was this one time he sang "Kastilyong Buhangin" with all his might and with the volume turned all the way up. It was 11PM for goodness f*cking sakes! I wanted to kill him and bury him under his kastilyong buhangin.

3. People who chew loudly.

That really makes me lose my appetite.

4. People who do not put their phones in silent mode in cinemas or in the church.

Wow! Congratulations! You have a phone!

So we KNOW you have a phone idiot! Big deal! But they do not go together with you who do not know proper etiquette!

You haven't heard of etiquette?! Figures.

5. People who cross the road slowly when I'm driving.

You know, there are two types of pedestrians. The quick and the dead. When I have to wait for people to cross the road, and they walk like they were walking down the aisle, I always get this urge to run them over.

6. Drivers who do not use the signal light before making a turn and just abruptly turn left or right that I have to screech the car to a break. And those who do not turn off their signal light even when they do not plan to turn left or right so I am constantly slowing down behind them.

They were installed there for a reason you know. If I didn't care about my car, I would not hesitate to ram it into yours. Asshats.

7. Loading up Friendster profiles with all that glittery or flashy comments.

I know a lot of my friends does that but forgive me for saying that I do not like it. I also avoid opening profiles with music or any sound. If I want to listen to anything, I want to play it by choice. Sorry if I don't approve glittery and flashy comments because I do not want it anywhere in my page. I want comments that come from the heart (or mind) and not generic images/flash that you can just copy and paste to embed. Somehow, sincereity is waning with this influx of new technology.

8. pLeAse dO nOt tExt oR tYpE LyK tHiS bEcAuSe yOu'Re oNlY mAkInG iT hArD oN yOuRsElF…aNd mE. LyK sRsLy.

And no, it's not cute.

9. People who text like this: "Where na u?" "Dito na me."

Eew.

10. People who cut lines.

When there's a queue and someone cuts line, I get this urge to cut their throats.

more to come…

Disclaimer: If you are my friend and you are guilty of some of my pet peeves, it doesn't mean I don't like you. But for goodness sake, stop it.

Do you believe in Luck?

Thursday, August 23, 2007

Well, do you? Some people don't because they didn't want to think that they have no control over their future. I used t think that way too. But now, I think it is, but I don't think that our future is entirely pre-ordained. I don't think that it's already written in the stars or we're destined to one fate or something.

Why do I believe in luck? There are some things we have no control over. Like the parents we are born unto, catastrophes, etc. Some people are lucky to have been born to good parents, or rich families, while some are born to poverty. Is it not luck that delivered them to those circumstance? A baby cannot choose right?

If two person had the same goal, say for example become the manager of a company, one of them is luckier than the other because say, the CEO is a family friend. Both persons may have exerted the same effort, did exactly the same amount of work, but the luckier person has the better chances of getting the job right?

Another example, 2 sales people are assigned to two different areas, one area needs the product greatly, the other has no need for it. It would be easier for the luckier person to reach his quotas right? Sure the other can reach his quota as well, but he'd probably crawl his way to meeting it.

Being at the right place at the right time is luck right?
We can still get what we want if we put our mind to it, but a luckier person can get it too at a much lesser effort. That's why I think luck exists.

Which leads me to another thought… Are there really factors that affect luck? You know, like feng shui and stuff… People do logically stupid things because they think it will bring in luck. But can feng shui, or talismans or what have yous really affect or alter luck? What do you think? Ok, sharon back to thinking mode again…. (idle)

We had a blast!

Monday, August 20, 2007

I'm back from the beach. We had an AWESOME time. I loved it so much.

But my body still hurts from the weight of my backpack, the swimming and the uncomfortable sitting position I had to endure for 3 hours. Not to mention I worked the whole day today when it's supposed to be a holiday.

So can't update today because I need my beauty rest. Goodnight Everyone!

I am not a workaholic.

Saturday, August 18, 2007

My work just requires more time than the normal 8-hour frame, and it requires me to work on some Saturdays too. Overtime? No, not overtime. It's overtawad.

Oh, what I wouldn't give for a looong vacation in a white sand beach.

Where I could smell the cool, fresh breeze, feel the sun's rays and the sand against my skin, sip frozen margarita (even ice cold beer would do), and just smile like there's no tomorrow. Oh I'd be chillin like a villain.

Damn. I'm running away with my imagination again.

*Phone rings:*

Me: Cris.

Cristy: Pack your bags, we're going to the beach and we'll stay there overnight. Don't worry about monies because this is company paid.

Me: No wai!!!!

to give you an idea of how i said that, I said it like this:

 

Cristy: Yes wai so move your ass.

 

So it's a beautiful life after all.

Weeeeee!!!! We're going to the beach!!!!

I <3 Ugly Betty.

Monday, August 13, 2007

I watched 5 episodes (Episodes 11 to 15) of Ugly from 9AM to around 2PM and I just luffles this show so much. I had to buy the DVDs off Ebay Philippines because I couldn't find it in the.. err… "DVD stores" here. What a suck. It's been 6 months since I saw episode 10! I missed my weekly dose of Amanda and Marc! The rest of the episodes will have to wait because i felt a headache coming… 5 episodes straight. Does that give you a headache?

What I love about this show are the characters. America Ferrera is perfect as Betty. Not one you would expect to be dazzlingly beautiful when you take out the braces and shave the eyebrows. She's as real as real could get. But the characters I so enjoy watching are the bitches of MODE magazine. Vanessa Williams is so good at being bad as Wilhelmina Slater. And OMG GIna Gershon as Fabia! I've always loved her as the bitch in Showgirls but her as Fabia!? (which is by the way a parody of Donatella Versace) Now, that is a bitch larger than life itself.

Allow me to present Exhibit A: The Fabia Shriek

 

 

My favorite characters in this show however, are Amanda and Marc. Becki Newton is purrfect for the role of Amanda. She's so hot, she's so funny, and she's so feisty. I just love that she's such a bitch, but she's in-your-face honest, and that the girl gets hurt too. But I love her mainly because she's absofuckinglutely hilarious. Becki Newton has earned a fan here. Michael Urie as Marc St James. Marc St James. Epitome of gay. And I love him.

One of my favorite Marc and Amanda scene: Dreamgirls

 

 

Other characters here worth mentioning is Rebecca Romijn, and Lucy Liu. One interesting thing I noticed was in the casting, it just said Rebecca Romijn… wasn't that supposed to be Rebecca Romijn-Stamos? So she's divorced? But anyway, I'm not going to talk about the whole show because I could talk forever about it, and I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, and would want to watch it.

Bedtime Stories (part 2)

Thursday, August 2, 2007

 Continued from here.

 

…. but then, stars could only be as accurate as election results. So that still remains to be seen.

Anyway, as I was saying, our rose is drifting across the universe. You may not know much about the universe, but there are a lot of things drifting out there. Spoons, blankets, people, flags, all sorts of things. But there is one thing that caught our rose's interest… a bee.
We all know a rose is a flower and flowers like bees. And bees like flowers. So the bee made friends with our rose and this is how their conversation went in a restaurant at the other end of the universe called Yahoo Messenger.

Bee: Hello.
Rose: Hello Bumblebee.
Bee: i dunno what to talk about, but i like having you here
Rose: me too
Rose: even when there's really nothing to talk about.. yet
Bee: same here
Bee: sometimes i like to like.. do a questions round. like you ask me a quesiton about me, and then i ask you a question about you
Rose: ok, go
Rose: i remember you mentioned you know how to speak french..
Bee: yes
Rose: fluently, or survival french?
Bee: very fluently
Rose: how come?
Rose: so you know how to speak 3 languages all in all
Bee: we learn english, french and arabic here, trilingual culture
Rose: i know a little bahasa..
Bee: well, i know some turkish and persian.. spanish
Rose: your a linguist
Rose: coool
Bee: bits of italian, but.. mostly because of french
Bee: ooh, i love linguistics!
Rose: but why do you have to learn french?
Bee: lebanon was under french mandate around world war 2, so it stuck.. we're a francophone country, like switzerland or belgium or madagascar or the ivory coast etc
Rose: i don't even know what a francophone is
Bee: the lebanese dialect is a mixture of the three languages
Bee: francophone = french-speaking
Bee: like anglophone
Bee: english-speaking
Rose: oooooohhhh…
Rose: how is it now there? i sometimes read in the news that there's war there… how bad is it?
Bee: it's really hard to explain. it's an unstable country, crazy shit happens, but life goes on very normally
Bee: it makes me sad that my country is portrayed in such a negative light in the media
Bee: then again, media only portrays the negative
Bee: who's going to watch a report that says "and in other news, everything is going well in such and such place"?
Rose: philippines isn't exactly cute in media portrayal
Bee: true
Bee: but i know better
Bee: because my country's the same
Bee: you know what i mean?
Bee: i know that if i went to the philippines, i won't be greeted by.. jungles and people with machetes riding elephants and guerillas.
Bee: that's just stupid
Rose: HAHAHAHAHA!!
Rose: there aren't even elephants here!
Bee: seriously. i still get quesitons like.. "so you have a desert, right?" "is there still alot of people who live in tents?" "do you have air conditioning?"
Bee: yeah, and we don't have a desert
Rose: lebanon is mountainous and cold right? you have snow.
Bee: oh yes
Bee: mediterranean climate.. temperate
Bee: four round seasons
Bee: well, they're a bit fucked now with what's happening from global warming.. it's strange how much it's affecting us here
Bee: maybe because we have all four seasons, it's easy to notice a change
Rose: i hate war.
Bee: war.. heh
Bee: i grew up during a war
Rose: with what's going on in iraq and stuff..
Rose: yes, you underwent a civil war right?
Bee: yeah
Rose: i'd probably die of fright if i were in a war. i couldn't even stand it on TV.. much more if i were living it.
Bee: yeah.. i dunno. you get used to it
Rose: sometimes, i avoid the news altogether… it breaks my heart hearing and knowing these things are happening. that's why i'm always convinced innocence is bliss
Bee: you're correct in doing so
Bee: i try to keep myself out of the loop as much as i can, but it's difficult when you live in a place like here
Bee: when YOU are the news
Bee: when you hear the bomb that is reported about on CNN
Bee: you know?
Rose: sigh… do you ever plan to move to another country? like europe or somewhere?
Bee: emigration is huge here.. there are more lebanese abroad than there are in lebanon
Bee: when i was younger i always said i'd leave
Bee: but after what's been happening lately
Bee: like last year, the war in the summer
Bee: i don't know
Bee: it actually made me want to stay
Bee: at least to try
Bee: if everyone leaves, how will lebanon ever get up again?
Bee: i don't know
Rose: true…
Bee: a lot of us go abroad to work, and come back every once in a while, or invest in business in lebanon when they can
Rose: people here in the philippines think the same way… everyone's goal is to get out of the country as soon as possible.
Bee: to support the economy
Bee: yeah
Bee: same mentality here
Bee: would i leave? honestly, i don't know
Bee: because i don't know if it would be any better outside
Bee: in certain ways, life here is so much better than in europe or america
Rose: honestly, i want to leave… not because i don't want to be here. but because i love to travel… i wish i could travel around the world… if money wasnt an issue, i'd be country hopping
Bee: oh that, of course! i love travel
Bee: it's a passion of mine
Rose: i want to be an ambassador too… but it's silly of me to help people in another coutry if i couldn't help my own.
Bee: an ambassador?
Rose: like an ambassador of goodwill or something to another country
Rose: i know. i'm ambitious
Bee: that's so great
Rose: oh i have all these ambitions. i doubt if i could even make any one of them happen
Bee: it largely depends on you
Bee: ambitions, goals, dreams and plans
Bee: it all depends on when one takes it from the "someday" place to the "let's do it"
Rose: true.. but it sucks when you really do not have much of an option. you work to survive, or give it all up for your dreams…
Rose: if it were only for myself, i'd have given up my work already
Rose: but i help my family financially, and my dreams do not really bring food to the table
Bee: i think that's a great achievement
Rose: it's not bad on it's own..
Rose: ok… let's tak about something else
Rose: do you like music?
Bee: music i love music. my brother is a musician (among other things)
Bee: sharon, i'll brb okay?
Rose: no problem
Bee: i'll continue my answer when we talk next
Rose: okay
Rose: hey your back
Bee: hewwo
Rose: haroo!
Bee: my back? what about my back?
Rose: hahaha! sorry! i meant you're back! haha
Bee: i know, silly
Rose: hahaha! you have to understand that i am the kind of person that believes anything is possible. so sometimes, i take jokes seriously
Rose: still there?
Bee: hey
Bee: sorry about that
Bee: it happens a lot when i'm at work
Rose: no biggie
Bee: yay! thats my line
Bee: no biggie
Rose: hahahaha!! we have so much in common i see
Bee: are you going to sleep soon?
Rose: in an hour or so..
Bee: oh? at 11?
Rose: or a little later
Bee: what about your early bedtime?
Rose: hahaha!
Rose: we'll see. i know i have to sleep… but i'm still not sleepy
Bee: yeah, i know the feeling
Bee: well, i won't insist too much because i like having you here
Rose: hahaha!
Rose: me too
Bee: i love music.
Rose: i love music so much. i sometimes get lost in my own world when i listen to music
Bee:
Bee: what sort of music do you like?
Rose: i dig any genre. oldies to rock
Rose: i love the awesome 80's
Rose: new wave
Rose: jazz
Rose: blues
Rose: bossa
Rose: chill out
Bee: ching!
Rose: in fact i dont have any preference when it comes to music as long as i like the song
Bee: exactly same here
Bee: like.. i can't say "i don't like xyz genre"
Bee: even country
Bee: i like something from every genre
Rose: there are songs i love in country music too!
Rose: haha!
Rose: i really don't care what genre it belongs
Rose: recently, my listening mood is inclined to 80's new wave
Bee: but mostly, what i listen to most is.. chillout, ambient, and lounge
Bee: it's the perfect music for me
Rose: i have a lot of cafe del mar cds
Bee: yes!
Rose: i know
Rose: and starbucks chill out CDs
Bee: but i also tend to go a lot into spaced-out, ambient music.. which isn't even music for most people
Bee: anyway, my musical tastes aren't really mainstream
Bee: my favourite band for instance is Sigur Ros
Bee: i love buddha bar.. loreena mckennitt.. vangelis
Bee: the secret machines
Bee: i like dido a whole lot
Rose: my taste encompasses everything. i dont mind if a song i like is mainstream or otherwise
Bee: do you have a favourite instrument?
Rose: i even dig broadway musicals
Bee: oh.. that's kind of difficult for me, musicals
Rose: i have buddha bar cds too
Rose: and i love dido too
Bee: they very easily grate my nerves
Bee: hehe
Rose: hahahahah! you should listen to avenue Q. you'll laugh your arse off
Rose: it's a musical parody of sesame street
Bee: hahaaa
Bee:
Rose: my favorite musical instrument is bass guitar
Bee: nice!
Rose: and percussions
Rose: i love beat
Bee:
Bee: here, listen to this song from my favourite band.. i doubt you'll like it, but it'll give you an idea of my style
Bee: http://www.vortex.is/festival/mp3/sigur_ros-olsenolsen.mp3
Bee: this is what i call "dream music"
Bee: i could sleep to this
Rose: not found?
Rose: do you listen to enigma? i love enigma
Bee: oh yeah
Rose: it says not found on server
Bee: ooh
Bee: wait
Rose: sure
Bee: try this http://download.sigur-ros.co.uk/sigur_ros-staralfur.mp3
Rose: downloading
Rose: ei, what language is this?
Bee: icelandic
Rose: it really is very peaceful
Bee: also, the band have invented their own language, "hopelandic"
Bee: yes, it is..
Rose: do you understand it?
Bee: no, that's why i like it even more
Bee: it's just the sounds of the voices
Rose: no thought it's something i'd want to listen while im on top of a mountain or somewhere i could reflect… it;s beautiful
Bee: i don't listen to this all the time, only when i'm alone and i want to relax
Bee: this band
Bee: at night
Rose: it;s funny that you say that, because one of my favorite song is actually something i couldnt understadn as well… until i had someone translate it for me..
Bee: which one?
Rose: it's italian… it's a song from Raf called Due,
Rose: have you heard of it?
Bee: maybe i've heard it but i don't know the name
Rose:
Rose: i loved that song since more than 10 years ago
Bee: do you have it? i'd like to hear it
Rose: i have it here, but im not sure if i could send it to you as a file..
Rose: hold on
Bee: email
Rose: oh yeah, i keep forgetting that
Rose: im used to the quickest way around
Bee: yeah, you know, there's thing called email, see? and it lets you even attach files
Bee: it's pretty old but it works
Rose: hahahahaha
Bee: teenager: email is, lyk, sooo 1995.
Bee: teenager2: ya srsly.
Rose: hahaha
Bee: hey can u squirt me this song?
Bee: ya sure
Bee: yay ^_^
Bee: (squirting: sharing media on the Zune)
Bee: so yeah. know what i mean?
Rose: haha! i know!
Rose: in the office, we just say skype me the file!
Bee: yeah
Bee: it's actually interesting that email is considered outdated now
Bee: i've been reading it in the tech news lately
Bee: in Japan for instance, email is long gone with the younger generation
Bee: then again, so are computers, mostly.. they are more into superphones
Bee: anyway, i'm rambling
Rose: hahaha! im a gadget freak. you can tell me about it.
Bee: awesome!
Rose: one of my weaknesses
Rose: next week, im going to have my 3rd cellphone. go figure
Bee: what are you getting?
Rose: right now, i have an XDA IIs Pocket PC, ans a Motorola PEBL
Rose: i'm getting an LG something something phone. I can't always follow the model name with all these new phones popping up like crazy
Bee: yeah
Bee: you use your phone a lot eh?
Bee: i barely use my phone at all, that's why i don't bother to upgrade it.. still using an oldass phone. i could buy a new one easily, but i just don't need to
Bee: my phone is OOOOLD
Rose: This is the philippines. The highest SMS user country in the world. there are more cellphones here than there are landline phones and TV combined.
Bee: but it does everything i need from it, so
Bee: hehehe really?
Rose: yes.
Bee: i'd like to know more about you
Bee:
Rose: what is it that you want to know. go ahead and ask
Bee: i was going to ask you how you would describe yourself, but i've read the bit on your blog
Bee: which was very nice to read by the way you seem like a cool person
Rose: hahaha! the one on the right?
Bee: yes
Rose:
Rose: thanks
Rose: ur cool urself!
Bee: thanks
Bee: okay, so i'll ask you,
Bee: what do you and don't you like about yourself
Bee: ?
Rose: Hahahaha! that sounded like a job interview!
Bee: sorry
Bee: you don't have to answer anything
Rose: well, i don't like that i smoke.. ive been smoking for 10 years and i find it very hard to stop… ive tried, but i guess there's only one thing that can finlly stop me.
Bee: oh.. you're a smoker?
Rose: when and if i get pregnant. thats the only ting that could stop me.
Rose: yes, i smoke
Rose: not an entire pack a day though.. average around 6 or 7 on normal days.. more when i drink with friends
Bee: yeah
Rose: but in genral, i love myself.
Bee: ya i do get that impression, which is why you seem great
Rose: i like things that make me happy. i don't care much about what other people think
Bee: awesome
Rose: im pretty opinionated… and weird to some people.. i dont have anything against that… i agree in fact
Rose: my boss tells me that im a child trapped in a woman's body
Bee:
Rose: im good friends with my boss thats why we tease each other
Bee: weird.. weird is interesting
Bee: strange is interesting
Bee: unusual and eccentric is interesting
Bee: people just want everyone to be the same!
Rose: anything out of the norms is interesting.
Rose: interesting, but not always good.
Bee: of course
Rose: i dwell on extremes
Rose: i can be extremely sweet when im happy, but when im mad, i am an epitome of the saying "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Bee: good
Rose: but im slow to anger
Bee: better
Rose: LOL
Rose: patience is not one of my virtues but i know when to make exceptions
Rose: im naturally curious
Bee: same here
Rose: that's why i love cats
Rose: they're like me
Bee: about being curious
Bee: yes!
Bee: kitties are curious
Rose: hahahaha!
Rose: i had a feeling you were going to say that
Bee: several people have compared me to cats
Bee: on different aspects
Rose: haha! same here
Bee: cool!
Rose: don't you just find it interesting that we should meet? or rather know each other
Rose: it's like we draw our own kind
Bee: i don't know how it happened, but i'm glad it did
Rose: i do too haha!
Bee: i liked how you were talking in that chatroom, that's why
Bee: and because you had a nickname to do with cats
Bee: and you seemed cheerful and friendly
Bee: and funny
Rose: i liked that you were witty and you made sense in that chatroom most of the rest are a bore and an annoyance
Bee: yay us!
Bee: hahahahha
Rose: yup! haha
Bee: so yeah
Rose: i don't understand what it is with other people…
Bee: you want to know what i really like about you? you're funny and cheery and all, but you also have depth
Rose: we like the same things in each other. i guess because we both see eye to eye
Bee: that makes sense
Rose: what's the most impotant thing in your life right now?
Rose: and you know what password she's talking about?
Bee: no, which?
Rose: the little prince
Bee:
Bee: my most important thing right now is my work. but i'm not that type of person.. my work doesn't define me, nor am i a workaholic.. but currently? yes, my work
Bee: i guess it falls under the category of bettering myself, which is the most important thing for me right now
Bee: that, and love
Rose: me, my family. they're my ultimate weaknesses. and love. the ultimate human weakness. you know how amusing and funny people who are in a complicated love situation to me is?
Rose: love is a funny funny thing
Bee: was it funny when it happened to you?
Rose: it never fails to amuse me
Rose: my feeling is not funny, but if it happened to someone else, and i see it, i'd be amused too
Rose: hahahahah
Rose: i have some sort of a dual personality.. it's like a have an alter-ego. i am amused looking at myself too
Bee: i know what you mean
Rose: i laugh at my old self and the old heartaches i had
Rose: but when it happened to me, that was NOT funny. At all
Rose: i dont know. i amuse myself
Bee: okay
Rose: sometimes when i start talking, i dont know when to stop… hehehe

The bee and the rose are still talking now but my ear is kinda strained from eavesdropping so I leave you that for tonight. Ok?

to be continued…

An Open Letter to You. (You know who you are.)

Dear Someone,

You make me happy. You make me smile. You make me giggle like a little girl. You make me giddy. You make me float.

You make me sing Human League's Together in Electric Dreams.

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
til it was time to go
Time to go away
Sometimes its hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
Its just too late to stay
Too late to stay

We`ll always be together
However far it seems
We`ll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go i`ll never find a better prize
Though you're miles and miles away
I see you every day I don't have to try
I just close my eyes, I close my eyes

Well always be together
However far it seems
Well always be together
Together in electric dreams

Well, it says that if you click on this link, you will help save the forest.

 Just doing what I can! 

 Well? Click on it too you idiot and save the goddamn forest! 

No, it's not one of those "scare-the-living-daylights-out-of-you" prank as I abhor that thing!

Deep thoughts for the day.

Sunday, July 22, 2007

 

"Sometimes, I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait. Not me, you." - Deep thoughts from Jack Handey.

 "Look at me. Look at you. See the difference? Right. Now run and cry to momma now." - Deep thoughts from Sharon Joy.

 "When I was a kid, I had a theory by which dizziness that results from spinning around can be cancelled instantly by spinning around the exact amount in the opposite direction. I would test this theory often, and blame its failure on my lack of precision in reverse spinning." - Deep thoughts from Bassem, a.k.a. The BEE.   

The BEE -> My favorite Lebanese Killer Bee. I don't care much about the African killer bees because I don't know any bee from there.

12 more days!

I've gotten my 2-day leave request and I'm coming home to my greatest love of all. The family.

And I'm definitely not passing up Cansi while I'm there! Oh, Iloilo I miss you so much! You are love, love, love.

And because I'm such a sucker for all things quotes, I installed the "Daily Literary Quotes" as well. 

This is what I got today and I remembered a friend who's afraid of rejections. This one's for you. You know who you are.

Bedtime Stories

Monday, July 16, 2007

 I have a story…

There was once a boy who fell in love with a girl, and the girl fell in love with the boy. For some time, they were beautiful together. For they loved with a love that was more than a love. They were among the heavenly things. They danced and the angels ran and hid their wings.

Then, they stopped dancing. And no one knows where the love that was more than a love that they had had gone.

The girl was told that there are things in life that she cannot have forever no matter how much she fought for it. The boy had to go to look for his Zahir.

For some time the girl was lost and she drifted across the universe not really knowing where she was going. Eventually, she turned into a rose… The Rose of Sharon.

The stars are telling me that she's still drifting across the universe at the moment. But we know stars see the future… and the stars tell me that the Rose of Sharon will eventually land and grow on a planet called B612 (which coincidentally, could stand for Birthday:June 12, the girl's birthday)… and on that planet, lives a Little Prince…

 

to be continued…

My Resolution

 

I am not going to dwell in the past–that is not where I am anymore.
I will live for the moment because here, and now, is where I am.

My future? Oh, he'll eventually come by.
