Its June 1 People

16 days from now, students will be back to school. Many will be like my cousin who will be going to college for the first time. Exciting times it is, and how I wish I could drop my job, ask my mom to enroll me in some exotic diploma course like culinary arts or something and then I'll be as excited as those students 16 days from now.

What I expect is that 16 days from now I'd still be at work. Hopefully work will be nice to me.

It's Haunting Me?

Why do I keep waking up at around 5AM??? I wake up at the same time the past few days and I'm thinking of the same thing. No its not that I'm waking up for work, thinking I should get ready for work, it's not that.

The fact is I already know what it is. I already have an idea what to do. How to tackle the problem, an idea how it may end or how it can be continued for as long as it wants to. It's just different when emotions are there. And when it's not just your emotions.

Sometimes life, you can never tell. Sometimes things, you never want. And very very sometimes things happen, so special, it means so much. Those few moments, so precious and you don't know how but want to make them normal. Because then when your special moments become normal, routine, regular, then the span of the happiness you feel will be more regulated, and not so spiked for special moments that are now and then that it'll make you so moody. Once a month this and every week that. Life can sometimes be so busy that just a few minutes you give to something can be like so hard to do. But sometimes like I say miracles do happen and you can give days or maybe three?


Take for example the sideline I'm doing, there are pro-bono and not, both are hard to do, but omg speaking of which, I'm outta here, I need to do those! chow!

The Fort is near NAIA III

Today I registered my car. Aside from a weird stomach in the morning, another turn of events happened right after my visit to my tito. Everytime I need to register the car I go to my uncle who is head of the motor pool for all Philippine Post vehicles. And for some reason I'm always late in registering my car. It's become some sort of tradition to register days away from a P1000.00 penalty.

Anyway, when I was going home from the uncle's office my normal left turn to EDSA was blocked. Everybody know had to go straight, which was fine for me. I vaguely remember how to get through the place. First thing I thought was oh this goes through this odd Plaza like place thats surrounded before by lets say messy settlers, I'm sure they aren't really informal settlers but their houses look no way near planned!
In any case that path lead to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal III, which I hope they would open before it turns unusable.




So enough of my half-drunk pics. I also managed to tak a picture of my left (yes the airport was on my right.)




It says Marriot allover those buildings so I guess its a hotel kinda thing right next to thealmost airport kinda thing. At the end of the road I turn left, and guess what I'm nearing the Fort!



And so I go around that round where the military are stalking me left and right. And I take pictures of this place called Bonifacio Heights. Supposedly a housing project for the military personnel, how convenient it is located minutes away from both the post Fort and the future hopefully to be opened international airport. Funny too that the people who bought here are well, lot of them are not from the military haha. Sorry again for the half-drunk pics, It's hard not to look like a spy around the area. And oh yeah, last pic is of Mckinley Hill, I hear they are building some sort of Russia House there, churning out these new well-crafted an bred Filipino people who are genteel and diplomatic but with one goal, to spread around the world and at the right moment take control...





I guess thats it for today. Exciting day passing through this place. I might be going there often, just maybe?

Any one for Hej Matematik


I heard this song while searching about my cousin's future college Enderun. This Multiply site http://hungrypigpoets.multiply.com was talking about well so many stuff aside from Enderun and I saw the imeem of it. The song is cool, I like the voices and for some reason the language is pleasing even if I have no idea about what its talking about. Sounds and looks Scandinavian but I could be totally wrong. The language is like Turk but if you look closely its like Germanic? Haha in any case I'm listening to their whole album and added them at myspace. I'm a fan now! And did I tell you the video was like they were trying to joke you but at the same time they were being serious? It's so cool! Besides who has a band name with Math in it? Wahahaha it might not even be Math, anyway Hej Matematik is ice cold!

Anyway, today was a weird day. My day started like 5 AM. I usually never wake up at 5 AM unless my life depended on it. But I guess in a way it did. I dreamt of something, something I guess related to my real life. It was alarming and so I woke up, and I immediately remembered the dream and I was crying, I dunno if I realized I was crying when I woke up or if I just started crying. In any case its one of those dreams you can't tell anybody at all except like one person who would know everything about you.

Its kinda weird I'm starting this blog from the end to the start. Anyway after that dream I go to sleep haha. Work was normal, it was a pay day so I leave early (this whole month I've been going home early). While walking to the parking lot from the bank where I withdrew my money, I realize I'm being paid a discounted Zoo York Hoodie at Amazon every week, I get semi-depressed. Sometimes I feel like Marvin from The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe, but I guess that's not all bad, he does do something significantly good at the end.

Well I'm going to write a little more if you like so click on the continue link or something if you wanna read more...

Back to walking to my car.... I have these little conversations with the parking attendant there. In the morning its this lady and at the afternoon its this other lady. Lets call them mean Lady and nice Lady . Mean Lady is there in the morning to give me my ticket. The entrance to parking is a concrete ramp, the right of which is chipped off and every morning when I have to enter the lot I feel I'm slowly destroying my tires and whatever structural parts hold it in my car. I told the girl two mornings ago if she can ask the owner to fix the ramp.

This mean lady is grumpy like hell, she tells me "Isasara na ito, nalulugi na! Sa a-kinse magsasara na!" I'm like Oh the hell I didn't ask you a question no need to reply! She mutters other words all unintelligible. Later in the afternoon I ask nice Lady about it and she says she doesn't know, go to the next parking lot she says it also has a cheap rate.

The next morning mean Lady is there once again, I ask her that the parking attendant in the afternoon doesn't know that its going to close, she then tells me "magsasara nga! kapatid ko ang may-ari nito eh!" I'm like wow. Maybe when I get rich enough to rent out a lot for stranger's cars to park in for a fee I'll be like so bored with my money I'll be the parking attendant as well, or maybe I'll ask my sister to fill-in in the morning.

But anyway, in the afternoon I ask the nice Lady and now she knows... "ayaw kasi i-renew ng may-ari yung lease." At least I get some picture. The lot is owned by whomever owns that foam green tile building at Emerald Avenue (I know that because I wanted to reserve a parking slot for a month haha), and I guess mean Lady parking attendant's brother is the lessee?

What a fuss about that haha.

P.S. Hej Matematik sounds like someone singing drunk and all the words are like almost english hehe. sounds cool though. Actually want to learn the language now.
