And so it's time to move on. A false-positive attack site listing on Google/Firefox/Blogger, recent personal crises, and this my emerald year set the stage for the jump to the Wordpress application installed in my domain server. Previous posts have been imported, a simple yet complex template chosen, and here we go musing, deriving, non-conforming, and idealizing again. I usually stick to

it's been a little worse this week having to skip work for three days to nurse a fever and when one is alone in bed with sleep not setting in, there's nothing else to do but think and reminisce; and too much thinking or too much alone time is never recommended when nursing a broken heart. on the other hand, thinking about everything that happened, piecing all the puzzling pieces together may be

Eat and be merry! Christmas. For you'll never know if you'll continue to be happy... New Year. Or you don't have money to eat out and your fridge is stocked with only water, maybe some ice. Ice baybeh. Enough of the corn! Here are places I've eaten at recently and which you may also want to check out. Or not. First up, Bigby's. Tried this resto back in Cebu. All I could remember was that

love is a spirit, a god, a supernatural entity, a mystery, a state of mind which most need to define or explain so as to prove its actual existence. it can be through physical expression, emotional investment, conscious commitment, contractual agreement, or even shiny stones and metallic objects. however, as spirits, gods, supernatural entities, mysteries, and states of mind go, they are seldom

Stress, stress, go away, come again anoth- no, wait, stress don't come at all. Everyone wishes. And who am I to be granted that wish? Just a humble servant trying to do good for as many people as possible. No, seriously? No, seriously?!?! Well, I try my best... Anyway, this post is the first of twelve that counts down to the last day of my Emerald year. I've chosen "The Green" as the

Ok, so here's the tank which has been placed right outside the main door to our house. It's separated into two tanks, one for males and one for females (and the winning *prettiest* male). I still have yet to choose which male to put in there, I have a few candidates and am auditioning all of them for healthiest movement, color, and tail type.Here's the side for the females.

For those who believe in horoscopes, here's a page for you. For the unbelievers, be amused. And it's always safe to be careful anyway. But our fate lies in our hands. Well, mostly. Can't discount others' hands. Again be careful- don't deal with people with dirty hands. On the other hand... well, it's your life to live. You might be destined to make your mistakes and learn from them. Or

So I got a couple of free overnight stays at Astoria and we used it for a special occasion early December... It was supposed to be a one-bedroom suite but we got upgraded to a two-bedroom suite instead. The lock system was "hi-tech"- first time I saw and used this kind of key-lock system using some sort of laser-light key. And upon entry, to the left was the dining room...To the front is the

I think I was driving along Makati Avenue when I came upon this... So now they have trucks for transportation, huh. The better to haul dozens of them out there. (Sign says: Pretty, cheap too)Speaking of trucks, I've seen trucks carrying live pigs going to the slaughterhouse but I guess now even the insides are sold and go maybe to a factory that produce sausages or those innards some people

How was my day? Was playing Fallout 3 til past 1AM so when I woke up at 6AM to get ready for my medical checkup, I still felt groggy. Anyway, I was only able to leave the house at 9:30AM because I needed to have the ahem sample. Arrived at Shangri-la mall past 10. Walked to Healthway and my next hour was spent giving samples and getting an X-ray, ECG (my first time), and pulling my pants down

I wrote Missin' Missin' You while I was in Boston in 2005. It's about person 1 losing person 2 who can't commit or is used to playing the field. Person 1 is a martyr type and would rather endure the pain just to be with person 2; however, things can still change and for person 1 it was for the better - person 1's eyes opened and the two parted ways. But once in a while, person 1 can't help

Since I was a bit busy with the boot-camp I was facilitating at work, I have not been able to send out an email announcing the CD's launch yet (I'll do that later tonight and tomorrow) so I took the opportunity of being in front of 30 or so people to talk about the charity project. At the end of the class, I took the microphone and relayed how this CD came about. And then I played the first

I wrote More Than I Let You Know just this June. It's about person 1 and person 2 celebrating their first anniversary last July 2. At first I thought wow after writing so many bitter/bitter-sweet songs, I can write something more sweet than bitter. But sadly, one interpretation was that the song wasn't as positive as I had thought it was. And after listening to it for a couple of months, I

Oh no! I made a mistake on cd version C! All the printed inserts up to now and 90 version C discs have May Rivera on track 5 when it should be Ryan Arguillo's turn. Apologies to Ryan Arguillo. Anyway, the next batch of insert print-outs and cd burning have been corrected so... here's the screenshot of the new batch's insert:

I wrote Learn To Let You Go in 2005. It's about person 1 getting it on with person 2. They shouldn't be getting it on at all but they do. They sort of fall in love with each other though they know it'll never last. Maybe in some other lifetime they were meant to be together. Just not this lifetime. So person 1 tries desperately and painfully to let go...This song along with tracks 3 and 4

There will be three versions of the charity cd: versions A, B, and C. Below is the track listing for each, taken from the back side of the cd insert.Ryan Arguillo, May Rivera, and Michael Carino are all from Accenture. Jerwin Santos is from Soluziona. They all have their own versions of No Goodbyes. I even mixed Ryan's and May's solos into the first track of HGLv.C. Each cd version has a

I wrote No Goodbyes in 2001. It's about person 1 having a really big crush, maybe bordering on love-like feelings, on person 2, but can't really reveal it because of being shy or scared and knowing that nothing can become of these feelings anyway; and so person 1 just resolves to forget about person 2, but not without encapsulating the feelings into a ditty first. Of all my songs, this song

Love writing! Between high school and college, wrote concepts for musical plays. In college, a high school batch-mate and I collaborated on what was supposed to be a sung-through musical. We only got to finish the first of two acts of Esther (based on the Bible's Book of Esther). From that first act, Noel Miranda has his inspirational song, Free, while I have the love duet Never Knew The

here going lost - a charity cd project.Last August, I was mulling over what I could give as a Christmas present this year and I thought I could just package a few of my songs again in a cd. I first started doing something like this in 2001. Four years after my fourth cd, here I go again with three new, unrecorded songs plus the classic No Goodbyes.

From now until the end of the year, we'll see truck loads of parties and events that have people donning costumes. Just this morning a friend in California asked me my opinion about two ideas they had for their Halloween party. They were thinking about going as the Desperate Housewives or as mail-order-brides (wedding dresses made from envelopes and packaging material possibly. The photo below

No, no, no, it wasn't THAT funny at all. It was just... nice. War movie in a comedy movie. Nice that Stiller and Black and Downey Jr. could all get together for this movie. Nice effort all around but it wasn't laugh-out-loud funny. I think I snickered once or twice. I was surprised with what happened to the war movie's director though. And I didn't right away think that the war hero would
