pumped

it is weird that something i dreaded for so long has pumped me up.

i wasn't looking forward to our nomination rallies, it is a 3-4 hour event which bores the hell out of me (plus i can't smoke during this time) and in my opinion doesn't even add a vote to me. during our last three rallies, people barely listened to us talk, no one reacted to what we said. they just sat there staring at us with blank expressionless faces, well most of the time. i mean i could have spent those 3 hours hanging out with friends or watching a movie, or even just relaxing at home and i would find that a lot more productive than the rally.

but today, was different. i got the shock of my life when i arrived (an hour late as usual hehehe) to be greeted by 2000 or so people actually chanting my name and cheering for me. and during the speeches of the eight councilors, they actually listened. as one of my running mates, would say (and may i borrow your favorite expressions, carol) scary. i mean, people actually listening to political speeches. i was used to the expressionless zombies that greeted us. this was new.
so i sucked it up, ignored the butterflies in my stomach and somehow pulled off the best speech i gave in my political career. people actually laughed at my jokes, clapped during my speech and actually listened to what i had to say. it was one of the best feelings being cheered by 2000 or so people, pledging support for me and some teen age girls even screaming as if i were a movie star. hehehe.

so now, i am pumped for the next few days, all of us are. after the massive support we received earlier, it would take a few weeks for the "high" to wear off. pumped pumped pumped. i'm ready to face the world again, awaiting whatever the campaign throws at me. i hope this feeling lasts loooooooong...

memories of

childhood

the other week lou started downloading copies of voltron (lion force). i was pretty excited about it since it was one of my favorite cartoons of all time. i decided to start downloading visionaries and thundercats. i finished voltron and visionaries like the other day but i had to stop thundercats due to my low disk space.

after watching around 3 episodes of voltron, i don't remember voltron being so repetitive and crappy. darn! should never have seen it again!!! i have just destroyed one of my favorite memories of my childhood, friday nights huddled in front of the tv waiting for voltron and then replaying the episode on my voltron robot. somehow, voltron just doesn't appeal to me anymore as a grown up.

at least the visionaries lived up to my memories. no repetitive animation, they don't talk down to kids. but i can't believe there were only 13 episodes. it felt like there were a million of them and each week was a new episode. the only problem now is, i wanna watch the tagalog dubbed stuff!!! hahahaha...

i was even forcing lou to watch visionaries with me. and iw as chanting the staff summoning shit with the characters. hahahaha.... "by nature's hand, by craft by art, what once was one now fly apart...." weeeeeeeee.....


college

last night we had a melrose dinner along with several other friends from college, some of which i haven't seen in quite sometime. but i guess it doesn't matter that we don't see each other that much anymore, we still talk like we did back in college, like we didn't spend anytime apart.

and the people never changed, the clowns are still clowns, the bitches are still bitches. hehehe... so now, i am really looking forward to 2008 and our pact to meet at the eiffel tower and see the rest of the gang!

no other group of dysfunctional people will be as close to my heart as melrose place...

pray

when all is said and done, all you can do is pray. yep... prayer is truly the last recourse of the desperate... (wow, how cryptic! hehehe)

maybe next time, i can delve into this and whatever pushed me to write this extremely short blog entry. but for the mean time, pray with me...

sugar rush and other stories

i am practically bouncing off the walls right now and i have no idea why...

well this was common during my college days. sleepless nights usually energize me like this for one to two hours during the mid afternoons but never this late. and i had a good nights sleep last night (well sort of but not really).

so right now im singing along with my mp3s (god forbid i do this in public) and dancing around in the room. too bad lou is too tired to share in my unexplained (and unexplainable) sudden abundance of energy. hehehe.

-oOo-

i have a resolution due first thing in the morning and here i am blogging. i cant seem to get it started. everytime i open word to start the resolution i suddenly draw a blank. i have done a million and one things to prevent me from making the resolution. haaaaay...

i have had two dinners, fixed my pc, cleaned up the sala, talked to my mom and dad on the phone, started a blog entry and now i plan to deliver food to my bro at the other house so that i dont have to do what i got to do.

long live the procrastinator!!!

-oOo-

as you just read, i fixed my pc today!! not really fixed. i have two pcs at home. one broke down around a month ago and i haven't brought it to the shop. anyway, today i found the energy to dismantle it, pull out the memory and hard disk and transfer it to my working pc. actually, that was out of need. i have a 20 gig hard disk right now and all my downloaded videos has left me with 1 gig. hahaha... so i needed to pull out my 80 gig hard disk out of the other pc.

and it was fun rummaging through my old files. seeing games i haven't played in quite sometime, mp3s and videos i didn't know were there, pictures from my wedding (remind me that i havent actually chosen pictures for the photographer to put in the album), even documents which made me laugh.

maybe thats why im this happy right now. seeing all my old stuff. i love my old stuff.

and my favorite story of the day...

as i was about to leave the house at around 2pm, our helper approached me and said "bossing, yung inabono kong P300 para sa tanghalian ng mga tao mo pwede mo na bang bayaran?"

this was weird cause we usually settled our finances after i arrived in the evening so my reaction was "bakit?"

and the reply that still makes me chuckle up to now "tinamad akong mag plantsa kanina eh. kaya kumuha ako ng plantsadora. kailangan ko ng pambayad bago siya umalis."

wtf?! hahahahaha.... still drives me crazy thinking of our maid hiring a plantsadora to do her work for her...

bad day

there are just some days you wake up knowing that nothing will go right. nothing. too bad i had to go through one today.

for some reason, the universe conspired to throw everything it has at me today. crappy crappy crappy day. my video player broke down, threw up because i had waaaaaay to much to drink, had a very bad discussion with one of the purok chairmen in mahabang parang, had an argument with my mom, and for some reason, every major solicitation sitting on my table was picked up today. ugh ugh ugh... somedays, it just isn't worth it to get up at all. somedays, the best thing to do is stay in bed the whole day and let everything pass you by.

to make things worse, before i stood up this morning, i knew this was one of those crappy crappy crappy days but i still got up and now i regret making that decisions. i should have stayed in bed til sundown.

maybe ill just listen to daniel powter over and over and over again til i get this bad day crap out of my system.
