If you thought my entries here didn't make sense, hah! my plurks will be worse hahaha.

nakakatamad kasi magplurk about mundane things, so I've resolved to give them a twist. Iunno if I'll be able to sustain the monthly thing though.

where is it you ask? check teh sidebarz <---

Well what do ya know? I'm fixing my computer now while talking to my "shobe" over in YM. yeah, she's the one teaching me coz i'm a self-confessed computer idiot whereas she's computer savvy. gawk! that's why i never considered COMSCI as a career. :P We're deleting a virus called "Surabaya". It's an indonesian thingy,  something that infiltrated my computer (yeah just like the love virus). And we're fixing it, with a computer savvy and a computer idiot - Lord help us :P

So wat's up lately? I've been tripping on Hip-hop and R&B since i got my hair fallin'. And added to that, hip-hop's not too bad a genre. Consider the lifestyle and fashion they portray in MTV: all those blings, streetwear, the rivetting hip-hop/street dance, and the sexy and bodacious babes. :-) I say it's all good. I'm livin' up my life just like T.I.

 

Hmm, i'm still living up the good life (kudos to Kanye West, i've been stuck with that). But about what I wrote on the last blog, I think i'm slowly falling outta love...or my feelings are just slowly fading. :( iono man. Somehow, I just feel that after attending the Xavier Alumni Homecoming, I've been open to flirting and swinging, you know what i mean? Anyhoo, yeah, i pretty much made the most that night - taking pics of dozens of chics, getting to meet Mocha in person (deeyymm she hot!), and most of all, meeting Arnel Pineda - the Pinoy Pride. :-)

 

So what's in store for the next few days? hmm, i gotta shoot and prepare a media plan for my majors. Yeah man! Two more big projects and a freakin' final exam for stat, then i'm gone to THESIS! wazzup foo? anyhooo, i'm talking like i'm not pinoy. :P I just hope I get to see "HER" again. God, i really love to be her hubby. She's one really godly woman, and no wonder men just fall for her. Dear Lord, I pray that You work Your ways - be it YES or NO... As long as we're both livin' up the good life as best friends... :-) PEACE OUT! :D

 

Currently feeling: busy

If you think you are unhappy, look at them

If you think your salary is low, how about her? If you think you don't have many friends... When you feel like giving up, think of this man If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does? If you complain about your transport system, how about them? If your society is unfair to you, how about her? Enjoy life how it is and as it comes Things are worse for others and is a lot better for us J

 

WHY ROCKY, WHY?

why did you leave me now when i need you the most?

pag ikaw di pa bumalik sa akin in 2 weeks, it's over!!!

ayoko na sayo!!! kung iiwan mo ako, iiwanan din kita!!!

ipagpapalit kita sa ini-ispot kong si MAC!

 

ROCKY  = my broken laptop.

 

lol. hahaha.

 

Dear MAC,

Bakit ba ang sosyal mo? Bakit ba ang mahal mo? high-maintenance ka ata. Hirap naman nun.. Wala akong pera para pasayahin ka. Di kita agad mabibilhan ng crystal case or mouse or bag na kasing cool mo.

Pero tangina ba't ba kasi ang gwapo mo, ha?

Tangina yang aluminium casing mong sobrang ganda napapalingon ako every time dumadaan ako ng Apple Center.  May nalalaman ka pang umiilaw na mansanas at keyboard. Vain mo talaga, tsong.

Tapos prinopromote ka pa nila joy. mabait ka daw.. masipag, mabilis.. hindi hassle.. yun nga lang mahal ka talaga.

 

Wala naman akong pera pero taena gusto ko na ulit magtrabaho mapa akin ka lang.

...

haaay. You took my heart, MACbook.

Tangina mo magiging akin ka rin. hahaha.

 

Dear SANTA,

Alam kong want ko lang si Mac, at di ko talaga siya need. At kaya lang ako nagccrave ng bagong laptop ngayon ay dahil pinapaayos ko pa si ROCKY.. haha. At gusto ko lang maging "cool" kasi cool si Mac. Loser ko kasi eh. Kawawa naman ako, loser na nga, sira pa laptop. haha. Salamat sa offer na bibilhan mo ako on-the-spot, pero feel ko di ko naman deserve yun na bibigyan mo lang ako just like that. Grad gift kaya? hahaha. Joke lang. Hati nalang tayo, santa. Nakakahiya naman sayo. Lahat nalang ng hinihingi ko since nung bata ako, binibigay mo talaga. hehe.

Ayun.. for now i guess papa-encode ko nalang kay boogie, will at drei yung floorplans ko. Sakto, tatlo sila at tatlo buildings ko. hehe. Tapos siguro tanong ko si joy kung mas mura bumili ng Mac sa Saudi, baka dun nalang. Kaso december na uuwi si joy at nakakahiya pa rin sayo. Pero ayun.. wag mo na munang isipin na kelangan ko ng Mac, or bagong laptop for that matter. Sana lang maayos na si ROCKY asap para makagawa na nga ako ng matinong thesis.

Yun lang. Thanks Santa.

SANTA = my dad.

sigh.. for the first time, gusto kong mag autocad. himala noh? hehe.

Currently listening to: kiss the girl - ashley tisdale (hahaha)
Currently feeling: hungry

I can't help being happy today :D I went to Makati and checked the school out and it was good!!! so i was walking back to the MRT with a silly smile on my face busily calculating how much i'd have to save each payday and how much i'd allow myself as allowance and also gimik fund. and still have enough for the rainy days. I was walking on air just thinking about school! and now I'm home but I have to leave really soon cause I'm gonna go get the car fixed up. where else? Banawe of course! I am such a fucking cheapskate! I love it! I love me! I love you all! And you! And you! Except you! And I love you the most! And you! HAHAHAHA!!! SHIT... that morning coffee session with Dimplez, Loreen, Vinz, Lock and Andie must've affected my brain circuits.

if you'd seen me in U.P. a couple of weeks ago you wouldn't believe it was moi... So Joysi, my "perfect" friend who hates my jokes but has no choice except to laugh along asked me to model for her. As a Rock Star! I laughed it off and told her i'd do it but it would cost her. And it did... she had to buy me a wig. But since I do have a conscience I opted to buy myself the leather pants and black nail polish... and also share half of the cost for the wig. She had to buy me coffee at coffee bean though. and another cup at U.P. plus yosi hahaha we even saw a workmate in U.P. and i tried my disguise out. I called her name. I was on the phone with Kino. "heya If (that's her name)" She just looked at me with a bewildered look and walked away. Perfect!!! My disguise made me a different person. so at 12 noon i was there at the back of the bleachers with an all black ensemble, my les paul and even my wanna be zakk wylde strap (pure heavy duty chains). Ruined my guitar's strap hooks while jumping around 30-40 times just to get the impression that i was suspended in air. and then having to pose for about another 30 minutes with all the guitar god poses i could dream of. still waiting for the pics to be emailed to me. my legs burned like hell after that one hour session. and i was so drained cause it was hot and I had LEATHER pants on! LEATHER!!! sheesh!!! I then drove to Bulacan to pick Kym and Kino up and in the process surprising them with my otherworldly get up. even Ma'am Elvie was shocked. hahaha Domz didn't fall for it though he just gave me a stern look and told me "Why the fuck are you wearing a damn wig?" We then practiced and I think that wig really did wonders to my playing. it was also the first time we tested my G2.1u. DOes having long hair really affect your playing? well we'll just have to wait and see... I ain't shaving my hair off for some time.

My New Gadget well it's not really new anymore cause i bought it 2 weeks ago... i had my leftover and i had yet to deposit it into my other account when Dimplez texted me that the 13th month bonus was already in our regular bank accounts and my god were they sizeable! Anyway... before that great event that employees often wait for all year... I met up with Maan's lola and she told me that there was no way Maan would ever get back with me anymore and later on after texting her she confirmed it so i was quite depressed the whole of November. Up until the 13th month bonus. Thinking what the hell... I had money in the bank (13th month) and i had money on hand... i decided fuck it all... just buy the damn thing and get the gadget lust out of my system (and also get Jean Paul and Dominic off my back with their constant nagging that i really should invest in a gadget already) I took the plunge and bought my Zoom G2.1u but of course at the cheapest price possible... after all money doesn't grow on trees and i spent countless nights for the whole month of october to earn that. I scoured the internet for a second hand unit and almost bought one from someone and then i had second thoughts... i decided to just buy a brand new one if it'd just cost me a thousand more. I got mine for less than 7k and the normal selling price (brand new is 9k plus) second hand (5k to 6k depending on condition) mine was 6,900.00 Hah!!! Mr. Kuripot hits a homerun again!!! and I paraded my new gadget to all the stores who were selling it to me at 7,500.00 especially the one who wouldn't lower her price at 7,800.00. I enjoyed the look on their face when they saw i bought a unit... (they were probably thinking... "fuck... i should've given him the fuckin discount he was asking for...") went home... plugged the thing into my amp and then to my computer and damn!!! everything i ever wished for was there!!! I love my new gadget so much. And the drum machine is to die for as well as the almost analog quality of the overdrive and lush chorus and mind numbing delay qualities. i spent 6 hours on my first jam session with myself... jamming along to songs on my mp3 collection. Using cool edit i even provided additional solos for Frank Sinatra... my all time favorite cool guy. If you don't like ol' blue eyes then maybe you should have your ears checked... that dude can really sing and put feelings into them songs... and i especially love David Cook's always be my baby version i then spent a couple of hours editting my patches for live settings (gigs, etcetera) Damn I love my G2.1u! G2.1u, I love you!

well i found the school i wanna be in and i have a game plan i'm still asking domz to join me in the same school i've calculated the expenses and yes my meager salary can cover everything and still leave me enough to party every week or indulge in a cup of cow dung tasting coffee every day at either tarbaks or the c'bean (i'm kidding... i love their coffee... :) it's just the price i can't agree with... poor people always find something to gripe about hahaha) and also put gas in the car everyday... so... all i have to do is report to school every 2 weeks for 4 months per sem. but, i can opt to finish a sem in a month or 2. Plus since i've had my grades assessed i only have to take a couple of subjects to finish it and get my bachelor's in business administration Finally! I mean i don't wanna shoot down an associate's degree but it hasn't really helped me that much... i mean yeah it's a great thing to have it. In fact, kids... those in AMA or ABE or other schools that offer Associates Degrees... treat it as a stepping stone but get that Bachelor's as soon as possible. And to make it more worth it... pay for your own tuition... heh... I remember my first college years... me and Domz enrolled in RTRMF (a medical school in Tacloban) as Medical Technology students... we did it for a year but eventually i got sick and tired or the hassle of going to school and interacting with my snobbish classmates... to my dad's chagrin... i quit. Then I went to Cebu to study in USC for Marine Biology... did that for a year but after a brief encounter with a teeny tiny dog shark (about a foot in length...) i realized maybe this wasn't for me... hehehe i almost had a bad case of the bends when i panicked and ascended way too fast from being submerged at 30 feet... if not for my instructor holding fast to my ankle i would've burst my lungs. Almost cost me my license as a diver hahaha but all's well that ends well... After that i returned to Tacloban and re entered RTRMF as a nursing student with Domz again and we even managed to become President and Vice President of the class... yours truly being President of course hehehe didn't last that long either... By then we realized i had a serious problem... I used to love school so much... it's just that I was way too anti social... brought upon by my burgeoning love for music and being affected by the lifestyle as an artist (sheesh) I had serious bouts of depression which after being checked by a psychiatrist stemmed from my disappointment at not being able to enter Philippine Science High School (long story... let's just say I studied a whole year for that only to get bumped off by another student who was way more intelligent then I was relegating me to 4th position and they were only getting 3 students from Tacloban) and ending up in the Seminary instead. My Anti Social tendencies stemmed from my youthful arrogance knowing i had an i.q. of 120 and my natural skills in language, math and science. plus the fact that i was an excellent swimmer at 6 and martial artist at 8 years old. all these things helped to swell my head to rather enormous proportions. I believed i needed no one's help. (at that time i was also earning my own money aside from my allowance) god... looking back at all those years that i was like that... it makes me cringe.... sometimes i still revert to that person but only as a defense mechanism... to turn off my feelings... so going back... my Dad was so dismayed at my lack of concentration in school and gave me an ultimatum... i decided to silently flip him the finger and said i didn't want to go to school anymore. in short i quit. but a few months later i found an ad in a newspaper... it was ICS (International Correspondence School). I pooled my money and signed up for Fine Arts Course... I was doing well enough until that school turned out to be short lived... disappointed again I withdrew from the world. It took me a year before I finally ventured out. This time I enrolled in AMA CLC a new school at that time and since they were offering night classes i thought cool! I can work and study at the same time. and that's what i did. I was working as a D.J. in ABS-CBN, worked part time in our Pharmacy and also worked as an FSR at ACA (got promoted as a Trainer and as soon as i graduated became manager 2 or MT2) to help me pay my way through college that and the odd jobs i took playing with my band and selling my paintings. after 3 years i finally got my (Associate's in Computer Science Development and Programming) certificate and thought I was the Shit! When I came to Manila... I had my eyes roughly opened to the real world. It took a lot of Pride swallowing and real hard work. I was already living on my own first in Paco and then I got a condo in Sucat (WaterFun) because i thought it'd be a fun place what with all the slides and pools. I thought I'd made it. I had a great job, a great place, a beautiful girl ahhh the bachelor's life. Harsh events yanked me back to what was real... i went through a real hard time and eventually had to crawl back to my Dad and work for him again. 2 years worked wonders to my shattered pride and ego... i was back to my old self albeit with less loftier thoughts of grandeur. I had matured a bit. Now here I am craving for a bachelor's degree and I'm earning enough to pay for my shit. It'll be my gift to myself and to my dear old suffering dad... So please shush muna until I graduate cause I'm gonna surprise him... maybe see the old man jump for joy. I owe the old man that much for bearing with his dreamer of a son. IF YOU READ THIS UP TO THIS PART, THANKS FOR BEARING WITH THE ARROGANT NATURE IN WHICH I WROTE THIS. it was needed.
