  • Bought Bamboo’s second album - Light Peace Love. I have been listening to it since Friday (and it is even playing right now). The album as a whole is a bit mellow for me. Shades of War of Hearts and Minds in every song. There’s no loud song in the album except for the released single Hallelujah. I personally like I-You, Peace Man and F.U. So far, I still like the first album than this one. I’ll just keep on playing it until it touches me. :)
  • San Antonio Spurs are on a 2-0 roll. Detroit must be feeling that Spurs’ defense is far better than their’s. Both teams live on defense; scores from the two games are both below 100. I read somewhere that the combined scores in the first game is the fifth lowest in NBA finals. Defense or otherwise, I hope San Antonio will win the Finals. Incidentally, the Spurs is the team with the most foreigners playing in a team in the NBA. Duncan is from Virgin Islands, Parker is from France, Ginobili is from Argentina, Beno Udrih and Rasho Nesterovic are from Slovenia.
  • Anthony will be back in the country sometime tomorrow. I have no idea how he can contact us besides using the internet. I’m not sure if he has our phones numbers. Sabihin mo lang lang kung kelan tayo lalabas.
  • I’m trying this OurMedia site where you can upload mp3’s. Try to download this and see if it really works: Incubus - No Scrubs Cover.
  • Michael Jackson has been acquitted in his child molestation case. Read more here
  • Pen mentioned her woes during holidays. I’m just thankful that she’s okay now. Kailangang mag-clusivol na at bawal na talagang magkasakit.






Isang Dekada

Bigla ko lang na-realize na sampung taon na pala tayong magkakakilala.

Sampung taon na yun?!

Mula nung nagkakilala kami nina Jie sa College of Science para sa freshmen enlistment hanggang dun sa unang klase natin ng Math17. Hanep, ang bilis ng panahon.

Here’s the class pic during the first year (picture is courtesy of Anthony)

There’s me, Sherwin, Anthony, Noims, Rex, Don, Melods, Gerald… sayang wala sa picture si pen.

Then we met friends along the way. Rheena, Ella, Glenn, Gary and Erwin were not from the block. We all have the same org that became the central part of our college life.

Then meeting even more people as we go on with our lives. There’s Christine & Sean, Apol, Janice, Maan, Leslie, Anne, Dax, Donnah, Richard, John, Stp, Joebert, Jon, Karl & Mimi - the peyups king & queen, and so on (syempre yung nakalista dito ay yung mga taong maaaring kilala nyo, malamang asa friendster yung mga wala dito).

Time really flies. Especially if you can still see the snapshots during those times clearly.

Tamang-tama ang pagbalik ni Anthony dito, may kahulugan ang celebration natin. Come one, come all!

Parang pwede na nating kantahin yung kanta ng APO Hiking Society na “San na nga ba ang barkada”. Hehe. :D







Team Building in Anda, Pangasinan

Seven in our team went to Anda, Pangasinan - the hometown of our manager. It’s a 5 hour drive from Manila, plus one hour for our lunch/dinner on the way. We got to see the Hundred Islands and snorkelled there.

I’ll try to upload more pics later.

Here are two shots so far:

The art of letting go
Friday 3 June 2005 @ 12:56 am
Filed under Friends by AJ  

Let me be a bit mushy with this entry.

And no, this isn’t about me and Pen. You’ve been warned. ;)

Generally, what would you feel if you found out your ex has moved on with his/her life but you are still hoping for something to happen between the two of you? Making it more complicated, what if you thought that you have moved on - that is, you already committed to another relationship after your breakup - only to realize later that you haven’t?

Seeing people in this predicament, I can’t help but wonder why love has to be both beautiful and painful. Beautiful because it IS love. Painful because of the sacrifices you have to give for that love.

How can one let go of his/her feelings when they know that deep inside, they long for that special someone who now belongs to someone else? Will the pain and suffering be worth it just to show your love for the person?

And the eternal question is will you still be friends with your ex or completely forget him/her?

Your thoughts peeps?







Couch potato saturday

I was supposed to do the project I’m working with Dinky but alas, laziness struck me.

My brain would not cooperate with my will and the DVDs in our house keep on calling me. I cave in and popped Collateral in our player. It was a nice movie. Tom Cruise playing an assassin while Jamie Foxx as a good-hearted cab driver. When the movie ended, I put in Rocky III. I am again into these Rocky movies. I already completed buying the movies in DBD format but haven’t got time to watch ‘em. I got Rocky/RockyII in one disc, RockyIII/RockyIV in the another disc and RockyV/Daylight in the last disc. Haha.

After the Itallian Stallion clobbered Clubber Lang (played by Mr. T), I put on next the Blade Trilogy. This DBD contains the 3 Blade movies. They are all in good quality and couldn’t ask for more. It was my first time to watch this Blade character. I haven’t seen a single movie of it since it was shown. I bought this movie set because of the third movie - Blade Trinity. Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel join Wesley Snipes in their vampire hunting. Nice movie and superb effects. Kita mo yung improvement ng Blade mula nung simula. Hanep din yung fight scenes.

I think I started watching about 3pm in the afternoon and finished at about 12pm. And maybe that’s the reason why I’m having a terrible ache at the back of my head now.







Text ni Ray

Kahapon nag-text si Ray sa akin:

“Andito ako sa megamall, parang may exhibit ng mga photo studios. Andito wedding album nung sa kaibigan nyo na sina John at Rheena. Tangna ang galing ng photographer.”

Well you see, John and Rheena’s wedding was a big production - Lord of the Rings style. It was great. From the smoke machine to the plants and vines around Fernwoods and the little hobbits as their ring and bible bearers.

He followed up his text:

“Hindi ko kayo makita sa album, inalis siguro ang mga pangit. Hehehe.”

Mokong talaga yun. Ang lakas humirit.

:p

I got tossed several times before controlling my balance.

Sail is still down.

Pulling the sail up..

Sail went overboard and I splashed at the water. :D

Finally got the surf running.
