angels and demons
im back! Last tuesday night, i just finished reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons (after reading the Da Vinci code).. What's the matter with me? I'm not actually a bookworm. I hate novels, big books, book reports.. I'd rather watch a movie than read. The last novel i read as far as i can remember was a Judith McNaught book when i was still in High School. Anyway, Dan Brown changed me. heheh.. I don't know if it's just his book or the thought that I'm working already and my hunger for books started to surface.
So what's with Angels and Demons?
What is an ambigram?
An ambigram is a word written in such a way that it is legible both rightside-up and upside-down. Ambigrams are an ancient artform and play heavily into the mysteries of Angels & Demons.
ambi means "both" ; gram means "word"
That's it for now. By the way, i got an ebook of this novel. So whoever is interested can just leave a message here. okie?
wait..OT [out of topic] it's my best bud's, Marlee Cuenco, birthday on Sunday. Happy Birthday dude!!! thanks for everything huh.. love yah! here's my gift.. wala na sa sunday. ayan na!
ciao! hehhe..

hear this
Just browsed through peyups site and whadda.. Read a nice column where i can relate in a way.. but not really. Perhaps relate fully if im in love right now. Singing.. *where is the love.. where is the love. where is the love, the love.. the love.. nyahah.. Eto na ba ang epekto ng walang lovelife?! Hindi naman siguro. Darating din yan.. =) Anyway, here goes the article..
WHy do I love her
by eya
Why do I love her and not him, and him, and another him? Well, I can't bring myself to love them; I can't bring myself to even try. I had experiences with other hims and what I have with her now is simply different. Way different. Why do I love her? Loving her has no reasons. I just simply do. And that's just one difference between loving her and loving them hims: loving them has to have reasons because otherwise there's no point in loving them at all.
I love her not because she loves me back. There are others who love me, others who would be willing to love me, others who would care for me. But I don't need them - it's her I need. Her warmth, understanding, acceptance, affection, beauty, temperament, mood swings, and flaws - I need all that. I need her.
It is only when I'm with her that I am most secure and comfortable. I can be anyone and anything when I'm with her. She accepts the whole of me and she understands my shortcomings. Whether I succeed or fail, I know she'll be beside me.
She lets me grow as a person. I tend to let my world revolve around her and only her sometimes, as if there's no one else in this world but the two of us. She knows that this isn't healthy and that we have to have space for personal growth and time for ourselves. A stable relationship calls for stable individuals; and for our relationship to blossom and last for a long time, we both have to continue to develop and to mature together and individually.
Most importantly, while we are lovers, we are also best friends. After a tiring day, it would be nice to just talk to her - telling anecdotes, exchanging views, catching up on the going ons of each other's lives. When all is said and done, she is not only my best friend, she is also my shock-absorber, my angel, my teddybear, my adviser, my inspiration, my motivation - my everything.
So understand that there are no reasons why I love her. I just do.

That's all for now. Ciao!

wazzup what's up?!
Here in my room.. no lights, only my pc monitor's shaft. Pretty cold because of the rainy weather. Hmm.. Maybe a good ambiance for a good post. Nah.. i don't think so.. Well, just hoping to pour out anything this brain and heart could convey.
i miss my cam.. If my cam can just talk. Good, it can't.. hehe.. Going back to being a shutterbug (just for the weekend).
From Top row - my bros while playing badminton, Kuya Anthony's(friend and neighbor) Hyundai Sports Coupe, my olympus digicam
Middle - 'maangas look' (my bros: Jel, Ving and Les), Ving in our mini court, 'kulet pose' (my bros again)
Bottom - 'kkagising lang at jammin agad' (my bro Jel playing the k-hon), my messed-up bed, our askal
.......
Resigned. Yep, you've read it clearly. I already talked to my PM (project manager) and gave her my resignation letter last week(effective on Sept). It's not that easy huh. Actually, even before, i promised myself that i'll just stay for a year. This August would be my 1st year anniversary with the company and i think it's about time. I know it's not that long yet but i really want exposure to other companies. I know there are a lot of good and much better opportunities out there. Also, I'll get to rest again while looking for a new job. I'm not pressuring myself eventhough if i'd be a bum for a while. And yes, im looking forward to a break. I badly need a break!! Break from workaholism, brain-cracking codes, mind-boggling scenarios, stress and all.. Well, which i know i'm going to miss (including the dough of course!). But hell, maybe after a month i'd be facing those usual stuffs again. (so don't you worry che) As of now, i really want to take a break. Do other things, fix myself (?!?).. Hey, where are you motivation?! you're kinda lost right now huh.. Direction too. yuhoo..where are you?? Passion??..focus..
Still, im hoping to have a new job by the end of September or early October. I hope I would be emotionally ready by then.
*deep breathe* I want to be a Pilot. Yes, a Pilot. Been thinking about it lately. Hmm..not just lately, 'coz the thought always cross my mind especially when i travel. Of course, im not going to leave my IT career. I love my present career. It's just that i'm also interested in driving an airplane and going to places. =) If time and money permits, i wish i can enroll myself to Airlink or PATTS. (Naku, matinding saving of dough eto..Tumaya kaya ko sa lotto?!)
Anyway, been a chocolate addict for a few days. I even ate it with beer (pulutan eto!). Serves as my energizer huh..

isports, sports . .
basketball at badminton. Ayan.. Ayan ang dahilan kung baket hirap akong maglakad kahapon hanggang ngayon. Masaket ang hips, legs at upper body ko. Matanda na ba ko?!?? Hindi naman, matagal na panahon na kasing hindi nababanat ang mga spoiled kong buto, laman, taba at konting muscle. Kelan lang ulet ako nagbalik loob sa sports. Nung nakaraang sabado, basketball sa umaga tapos napagkasunduan namin ni Leslie (brother ko) na magbadminton sa hapon.
6:00.. Smasher's. Yan ang napagusapan naming venue sa tournament kasi yan ang pinakamalapit. Pagdating namin walang tao. Kinatok namin ang pinto. Wala pa ren. Sabi ko nga.. Sarado na pala sila. Nalugi ata. Change venue.. Mabuti na lng meron banda lagpas ng ever ortigas. Di naman kalayuan sa original na venue. Ayus.. 150 ren per hr. Kala ko 200.
6:10.. Family day ba?! an daming kids at parents. Puno ang court. Pero iba na talaga ang swerte at pinagpala. May isang court pang natitira. Yun nga lang e nakareserved eto ng 7. No choice. Mas mabuti na kesa sa wala. Ayun kinuha na namin kahit lugi kami ng 10 mins.
Konting stretching, inom ng tubig at simula na ang bakbakan. Putek, ang galing ng kalaban. Mga 30 mins e tagaktak na ang pawis ko at nagsisimula ng magdeteriorate ang spider powers. Footworks.. Yan ang kulang saken (pati bagong rubbershoes siguro). Bumigat na kasi ko simula ng mgtrabaho a.k.a. not physically fit. Pagbagsak ng shuttlecock malapit sa net e para kong hinihingal na batang naghahabol. Grabe ang mga sunod-sunod na hampasan. Kinalabasan: Saket ng braso at ayun, talo. Pagdating ng 7 e andun na ang mga vip na nagpareserve. Ok lang, pagod na pagod na ko e. Mabuti na lng at may C2 na pamatid ng uhaw at pagod. Naka 2 bote lang naman ako. Hanggang sa susunod na laro namin ulet. Babawi ako at siguro 3 bote ng C2 na ang mauubos ko.
Next week.. swimming at jogging naman.. alternate ng basketball at badminton kada weekend. Ayus! Excited n'ko!
anong pecha na?! [out of topic] Sana mabasa eto ng nanay ko at bigyan ako ng bagong gitara sa aking darating na kaarawan. Mejo malayo pa naman kaya may time pa sya mag-ipon. hehehe..
