3 TV Programs I Watched this Chilly Thursday Night.

1) Lakers-Kings game

Upon hearing the teams playing (if you are an NBA fanatic) you know this was going to be one helluva game! For me I can describe it, everytime they meet, as a La Salle-Ateneo game. Every basket counts and you will feel the players playing their best with every play and every second.

I watched Mike Bibby as he took Gary Payton to school. To think that Chris Webber and Brad Miller wasn't playing, it was so obvious to see that the lakers were having a hard time playing against the number one team in the league (woohoo). Stojakovic was scoring rapidly but to even it out Shaq was dominating badly and Kobe Bryant his usual smooth basketball player. It was a see-saw battle from the start and you have this gutt feeling that it will be until the final buzzer.

But imagine your mom telling you, "okay, okay punta na kayo dito rosary muna... tara na... mangadi (kapampangan for =pray= i think or =rosary=)...". That's alright, I guess. HOWEVER, if it was the 4th quarter and Kobe Bryant just scored a bucket to tie the game at 94 .... IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT GOOD! >;/

After I made "mano" to dad and mom, I ran towards the living room (a.k.a. my so-called "bedroom") and hurriedly turned on the tv. I then jumped for joy when I saw that I still had a minute to enjoy the game before it ends. Sacramento was 2 points up and they had possession, can it get even better than this? YES, cuz after a few seconds, Mike Bibby (which I just noticed that we have the same mole below the left eye wala lang) was set up by Vlade "DAddy" Divac a three point shot which he threw and scored. I shouted almost falling from the edge of my seat. Just to make me shout louder after executing the last lakers play, in which Kobe Bryant drilled in a 3 point shot to answer Mike Bibby's trey. I must admit Peja is a big choker... still I think he is the man.. but they should always go to bibby in crunch time (just a thought). So in the dying seconds, the last play was for the Lakers and Kobe had a great attempt, open shot and what else can he ask for? Hindi lang talga pumasok which was okay.... nah it was great fantabulous! wonderful! happiness! (haha!!! barok! nagpapatawa lang :p)

Final Score was 103-101

Sorry but what you are reading is biased because ever since kahit before pa pag kalaban ang lakers, I rooted for the kings!
Go Let's Go Sacramento Kings! All the way na ito!


2) f.r.i.e.n.d.s
2 more to go :,/ huhuhu... as i go emotional watching over the 3rd to the last episode. I really really want ross and rachel to end up. Don't you guys think? Ang ganda ni Jennifer Aniston man sa episode nito!!! Phoebe was hilarious .. innocente na tatawa ka talaga... si ross was pure classic fave character ko ito!!! hahha!!!

spoilers...

a)rachel meets mark! (again!) you know the person why ross and rachel were "on a break"... the one who helped her in Bloomingdales... yung super jelly si ross basta yun

---Rachel get's fired and Mark hired her to work for Louis Vuitton after dinner... which ross' reaction made him really really funny (i just love his facial reaction!) nung after nung date... classic talga siya... nerdy na pikon!!! sa facial expression niya kasi e!!!

***super spoiler: sa huli she said she got hired pero sa PARIS...

whoa... and it just got interesting! pero hassle you know what? bago ipalabas yung last 2 episodes which I am dying to watch! ipapalabas for the next 6 weeks ang best episodes ng friends... haaay climax talga.. which is good because I am so depressed sa pag end ng show na ito...
.. pero gs2 ko sana magfile ng absence for the last two episodes if may job ako... basta kelangan kung panurin yun!

::::prediction: i think sasama si ross! sana!!! haaay.... kelangan sila na talga!!! maiinis ako pag nde! nde bagay si joey at si rachel nde pwede talga ever!

b)Phoebe changes her legal name to Princess Consulea Bananahammock! hahaha!!! funny niya sobra.. as her boyfriend changes his name to crapbag... kasi naasar siya

c) Ross got promoted and Joey approves the house that Schandler and Monica wants to buy.

3) CNN on: rosie o donnel being hitched in sanfran

- i just arrived home when my dad was on the cell talking to my mom after he said.."nakita daw ng mom mo ikinakasal si rosie".... I concluded hearing from her cuz she works in downtown near the city hall where she witnesses almost every day the past few weeks... "GAY COUPLES GETTING MARRIED" (syempre laki mata ako) nde ko parin maisip makita dalwang lalake nglalaplapan ugh ugh yuck!... aba e syempre chismis ito... pamilya pa namin! haha!! if you knew how i was when I was small and growing up... kaunting chismis lang about a girl aba e wala na... alam na ng buong angkan..

anyway back to the topic! it's just eto yung first high profile celebrity gay marriage on public...and it just disgusts me cuz I don't really like Rosie O' Donell especially when she cut her hair and looked like Bart Simpson just to show that... hey look at me I am gay... please... ano ba naman yun? anyway, i think because she's not on the limelight right now.. she used this issue again to fuel the people to talk about her again... you can do a low profile gay marriage and not have a press conference without kissing your "wife" as you proclaim her in the lips in front of the media... the world just gets weirder and weirder... and I am living near the first city to declare gay marriage as legal. ugh!

(Im sorry if iv offended anyone it's just an opinion and I just feel this way I don't intend to hurt anyone with this post. it's just hard for me (actually sickening) to digest gay marriage because cguro im just not used to it..pls just bear with me...mybad!)

sleepy nako.. ay i will write about a post about the book next time! and why do you think i am watching tv... aba e kc in 6 days i tried to finish that 454-page hardbound da vinci code book!!! because i want to get my life back and it was superly addicting!!! grabeh!!!

I got this from http://www.greatday.com/motivate/
whoa read it.

Admit it

Admit to being frightened, and your courage will grow. Admit to not knowing, and you will learn. Admit your weaknesses, and you'll become stronger. Admit your mistakes, and you'll begin to move past them.
Admit you don't know what to say, and you'll have said just the right thing. Admit that you're confused, and you'll begin to understand. Admit that you're hurting, and you'll begin to heal. Admit that you care, and the things that truly matter will grow stronger.

Being honest with yourself, with others, with life, can often be difficult and intimidating. Yet honesty is always the most reliable, the most direct route to truly attain whatever you seek.

Any attempt to deceive will ultimately end up wasting your precious time. Live the truth of who you are, and it will bring out the best you can be.

-- Ralph Marston

A Dan Brown Fan

Wala na akong buhay. Pagkauwi ko. Basa ng libro. pagkatapos ko kumain basa ng libro. After eating basa ulit. bago matulog basa... basa ... basa...Chapter 31 na ako at isa na akong addict. Genius talga si pareng Dan. Wala feeling ko nakadikit na yung mukha ko sa mga pahina ng aking librong binabasa. Isa talga siyang henyo. Pano niya naisip isulat yung Da Vinci Code! Ang galing galing. Setting is in Paris (odba? mejo navisualize ko na nga yung gusto kong puntahan.) Okay lang naman mangarap dba? At guess who yung kalaban... the religious group Opus Dei. Grabe... interesting siya at it will grab from the prologue palang. I don't want to spoil kaya yun muna. Basta it's about God at if you like suspense thrillers. I think this will become a movie. Fast paced at nde boring... Nakatunganga ka lang kasi every scene mapapabow ka sa sobrang galing ng pagsulat. Try to read it, I recommend it. Must-read na ito in my list... it's brilliantly written and it's something you wanna read from the start to last page. Because you can't get enough of it. I now proclaim myself as a "Dan Brown Fan". It will leave you breathless. Kaya magbasa nako ulit. baboosh! hehe!!! :)

da vinci code mumu

I'm in a hurry so I merged my two topics :)

Finally after weeks and weeks of finding "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. I finally have the copy from the library (thanks to the only librarian in the family= Nicole!). I have been hearing a lot of feedbacks lately and the suspense of getting a copy that I can borrow *take note* for free ends today (kuripot ko my gas!). Yehey!!! Fyi. You can borrow a lot of resources here in the public libraries, and not a lot of people know it existed which I find very stupid! You can also borrow the latest DVD's (can you believe may Amelie? ang saya!) and Audio CD's (last one I borrowed was John Mayer and 3 doors down which I recorded haha!!! o dba libre? gago ko!). The books in the best seller list is available there which you can borrow; however, there's already competition like 100 holds kaagad for that book like the one I just borrowed. So I consider this as a catch!!! That's it pusit now to my next topic which gives me goose bumps till now....

I think there's a mumu outside our house. It's kinda scary so I just try to sleep as fast as I can. I sleep in the living room (for the past 6 months lang namn!!!, what a life!! hehe). Anyhoo, hayun I have a kuchon that I get from my parent's bedroom which I put and take out everytime I go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning. Every night before I go to sleep and close the tv, all I see are the windows and the blinds. So I have this peculiar right side eye view of the window overlooking the neighbor's front door. I can see the side of the blinds you know what I mean? So there I was, before closing my eyes I see the light open. *take note* the light in the front of the house is motion-detected. I know this because the only time it opens is when I pass there and for example I take out the trash it opens. But when there's no one there I never saw it open. Till the last few days. The weird thing about it is... it's an abandoned house.. nobody's living there anymore. The owner just left 2 weeks ago and as I observed inside the house it was empty... so who was the person outside our house that is being detected by the light? was it just the wind or was it a person who is looking at our house every night? mommy may mumu takot ako... huhuhuh

last night

Valentine's Evening wasn't so bad.

I ate in a thai resto in san mateo downtown with three of my friends. Rose, Shirley and CJ picked me up. I never met CJ so I assumed he was a guy. It turns I get to go out with three girls that night (sweet!). Sounds like a stud muffin right? (O nagfeefeeling lng haha) I walked the streets of San Mateo with a Blonde, Indian and a Filipina. It's like a triple x movie or something haha!!! kidding... (Bart is GAGO ryt now!!!) It just looks like I was a pimp but the truth is we just wanted to go out on that night cuz it would be a real bummer to stay at home and watch TV right? Anyway, we ate in a thai restaurant. It was alright... but I missed Thailand after eating there. Pad Thai so yummmy!!! Okay okay... to cut the story short I became a fill-in like guy who is with them cuz their guys can't plan a decent thing to do on the day when love is all around. So I bonded with them and heard their stories. I am quite fascinated because they all had different stories. Rose's boyfriend has to work so he can't come here(bilib nga ako sa babaeng yun tumagal ng ganun kasi nilalagari niya yung sfo-la-sandiego para lang makita niya yung guy). CJ just broke up with his bf hours before we met, because can you believe the guy fled the country for I dunno why and left Cj with a $4,000 debt because they were both signed to pay for a car, and because he left the country she has to pay for everything. What an ass. Lastly, Shirley's guy is in New York or is it Fiji? Oh well, as for me, hehe. (yun na lang) :) It just happened that at that night we decided to go out and just chill and enjoy the night.

After dinner we dropped CJ and went to F&A's this bar that becomes a club after 10pm. We always go there so we weren't used to seeing it as a bar-type only, and because it was so clean and cozy. So I bonded with Rose. We talked about his co-worker of hers who had a typical Filipino boyfriend. She can't come because his boyfriend is so strict that all they do for fun is (check this out) stay at home.Lam mo yun? what a life... dba? Super Praning daw yung guy na sobrang kahit na sobrang nasasakal yung girl okay lang daw... Neway, ano ba tingin nung lalake sa girlpren niya parang tuta na walang utak at puso na nde makapagdecide para sa sarili niya... diba? Hayun kasi ako I believe na if you really love the person may time na kelangan mo talga siyang pabayaan kasi she has her own life and you have your own. If she messes up she knows na kelangan nyang panagutan yun. She has to face the consequences of her actions kasi siya yung nagdecide nun e dba?. I let her make her own decisions but of course I try to comment on it and explain my view pero may line syempre na nde mo icocontrol yung person (sometimes im a control freak pero i try to practice this kc lam ko its for the better). Nabulabog lang kasi ako nagdebate kami ni Bayi boy (after dinner i slept at his house inuman kami til 4am) kasi nagalit siya sa gf niya hayun.. nagcontradict kami ng pananaw... mejo badtrip kasi siya kasi sa gf niya.. Hayun what do you think? I still think when you love someone you don't have to be in front or at the back of the person, you just have to be beside her and let her grow spiritually... hay naku i am not making sense na ata... sabog nako sleepy nako *yawn* nytie!!!

I Want You To Be Mine
from: http://instantkarma.blog-city.com/read/348863.htm

I would love to make you mine
Only if I abandon reason.


I want to be called yours
Only if I will not go back
To the vicious cycles of people and me--
Living, Liking, Falling.


It will be a love triangle
Of you and me and those people
Who also want to take pieces of you,
Maybe all of you without knowing
What It means by
Taking...


I desire for you to be mine.
And I am contented in getting drunk on your smile.


Look at me, an oslo paper-- flat and white,
My lips direct your hand to paint me
Colors to release me from my
Mundane-ness.
Strokes aided by visions
Of stars that flicker
In the sweetness of your lips
Flowing,
Brimming,
Spilling,
Yearning--
A borsch of emotions.
Paint me with your smile
As your fingers erase bistered memories
And coaled marks by
Places and people who painted
Starless skies in my somber nights.


Ah, Everything is moved by your hands and I want you.


You are bright as the sun that sprinkles
On the finest sand of my desert
As silent as the gentlest rain
As soothing as the autumn's voice
That lull me to sleep
Only that you keep me awake.
And I am silenced,
Silenced by your words that mean
Nothing or something we do not know.


You were once mine,
I do not remember when or where or how
Maybe somewhere when summer
Has a name and a face,
When I had myriad ways to describe
Flowers and leaves that warm the eyes.
You asked for a conversation
Without words or imageries or smiles
Only unmistakable sighs.
And I, awed by your mouth,
Traced phrases of endearment
In expelling uncertainty and bewilderment
To know, to celebrate, and to seek you.


I want you to be mine In your beguiling glory.


And I am yours--


As I kiss
your fingerprints
On my skin.

just some nonesense issues...

I need a haircut. I want it bad! I hate it when my hair grows I feel like a mountain man or something. Whatever my hair looks will determine what my day will be! If its messy and curly expect me to be grouchy. However, if its a good hair day expect my smile to be 20 times bigger. I haven't paid for a haircut ever since I came here. Cheap ass bastard me!!! hahaha!!! My grandpa bought my dad a razor and mom and I have been experimenting on it. It's free haircut and it isn't that bad. I am vain vain vain... but it's true I guess everyone would agree with me that they want to look good right? So I got an appointment in the skyline cosmetology dept (odba? haha!!!) mura lng 6 bucks for a haircut! although I don't know if it's gonna be a great haircut or whaaaat? I can't wait til thurs! What the hell am I thinking about I should be looking for a date right now... it's valentine's day this sat. It doesn't matter anyway! Bayi and I talked about drinking at his place once again if we are both dateless... I don't really care... I have been working out for the past few days but my tummy is still big, it's not big it's huge... I need to cut off some carbs... Man... it looks like I ate a globe or something and my stomach shaped like it... it's scary... its weird... haha!!! Stupid issues just checking out the lighter side of life... I got wasted saturday... I can't post that yet cuz Im still waiting for the pix... Drinking hard drinks... grabe! sabog ako and to think i had work the next day... its cool its cool steady lng... hhahaha!! I also played NBA Live 2004 wala bano pare! pinanis ako ni bayi!

dominant
You have a dominant kiss- you take charge and make
sure your partner can feel it! Done artfully,
it can be very satisfactory if he/she is into
you playing the dominant role MEORW!


What kind of kiss are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Passion is what makes you come alive
And makes you good in what you are doing.
Passion excites you.
It makes you restless, sleepless
and sometimes angry.
It drives you to overcome adversities.
Passion makes you strong willed, earnest, adventurous and daring.

An athlete’s main goal is only to win.
An athlete cannot merely achieve this
with the talents and skills that he possess.
It is in fact the heart and passion to win
that keeps him focus.
It is the same heart and passion
that drives him to win..

What do you think
made Michael Jordan come back
from his retirement to play in the NBA twice?
Definitely not the money…
But the passion to win and fly again.

Passion, it is what makes you work hard
and persevere.
Nothing is impossible for someone
who sets his sights and minds on something
and then puts passion toward attaining it.
It is passion that will drive you to your vision… your goals... your dreams…

HuNger!

Ever since I was small my grandpa told me, "Hindi kita makalimutan kasi everytime na kasama kita nung maliit ka ang sinasabi mo sa akin, Gutom na ako Gutom na ako Gutom na ako Gutom na ako Gutom na ako.....". He told me one time when we went on a long drive from manila to olongapo, I kept repeating that sentence in the whole 3 hour trip we were on. I was always hungry and it seems like I never get my tummy full, at least for a while.

So, I ask myself now what's my hunger or better yet the right words what I am starving for....

starving for and striving for sound alike but for me it's the same

Starving to graduate - Yes I am now an old person still studying in college. This is what I think I am... I am delayed (feeling ko buntis ako haha jk) and it will still be more terms until I exactly know how long will I still stay in school. Hopefully when I enter a university (If I get accepted!) next sem I would know how long will this hunger last. I want to get a diploma because this year should be my last, if my age group is concerned. A lot of my batchmates are done and by the end of this year majority of them will have their diplomas.

I am hungrier as each day passes!!! Ask anybody close to me... when I am hungry they never bug me cuz they know I am not in the right mind. Insane is the right word. I guess that's how I am built, I am obsessed with food. Food that satisfies not only what my tummy needs but what my soul desires

Starving to go around the world- Travelling is a passion. Everytime I go out of my daily routine and go to another place, I become another person. This is the time I can reflect, ease out stress and take a lot of pictures of myself hahaha!!! (vain) Seriously, every place that I go to changes me. It opens my eyes because when I travel, I see it with my own naked eyes and not only in magazines or books. It awakens a side of me which opens up to the world with whatever I am destined for. Adventure is also one reason. I want to set foot on places I have never been before. I want to create memories that when I look back at my life, I can say that I have done and experienced enough. Then close my eyes and say "I'm done, happy and fulfilled!". This is one trait I know I have because when I was a kid I wanted to be an "astronaut". hahha... can you believe that?

I have 101 wishes in it's all in a piece of paper. Try doing it. This will just show what you want, and not others want of you. Not 100, not 102 not 98... try putting it down on paper. Like what you want to do, where do you want to go, etc. At first it will be hard, but when you reach 100 you will say to yourself can I ask for more? TRust me....

Humanist James Allen says:
"You will become as small
as your controlling desire;
as great as your dominant aspiration"


In other words, to succeed
beyond your wildest expectations,
you have to have wild expectations.
It is really that simple.

Almost a librarian!

My expected week wouldn't be that hectic after all because I just decided an hour ago that the library job wasn't for me. It was supposed to be my first day today, got my social security card ready and I was about to get a student payroll from bldg1. I just had to set my priorities straight because I was required me to work for at least one afternoon for a week and I can't promise Ms. Sandra that I can meet the demands of the work. I had another job and I need to prioritize more hours at home to help my parents. It just didn't work out I guess and I had to be realistic about it. I know I can get another job that would fit perfectly in my daily routine but not now :) and my family is more important than any work in this world...
