There is a big, knappy hair in my sundae.

when i was kid, we used to have a clock that looks this this... It was a clock my mom bought to make sure that me, my 2 stupid brothers and my yaya wake up at 430am! I studied grade school all the way in Antipolo soI had to be picked up by the Rebollido (then it was the Cuyugan) bus at that Godforsaken hour. Anyhow, that clock worked for a while. it was my hatest thing in the whole world at that time..the next being my very VERY heavy backpack that I had to bring to school every fuckin' day. I said for awhile coz after weeks of being rudely woken up by that clock (I tell you it was enough to wake the whooollee house with its blasted sound), I started a new hobby! It was the throw-the-alarm-clock-when-it-rings hobby. Eventually, it broke down (wweeeee!) after being thrown unceremoniously across the room and at times down the stairs (it won't stop e!) , My mom got us another one just like that. I think they costs a hundred and plus then...at that time 100 bucks still got you somewhere but after a while those things "mysteriously" broke after a couple of days..my mom and my lola tried the no alarm clock lets wake up early style for a couple of days but my poor dad got the brunt of it coz they always woke up late.....just in time to hear Mang Tanay's , the bus driver, signature pot-pot and because of that my dad had to bring me all the way to Antipolo! Hehehehehe....So my dear mother got one of those cheapo alarm clocks..the ones that you hear sa bangketa. But, alas, they just met the same fate as their predecessors and being the cheapo that they are they just got smashed after being thrown once lang. The mahal ones lasted a couple of throws though...

so now i feel the same way...i feel that the alarm clock is ticking somewhere and is about to peel... its the saturday morning and in a few hours I'll be back in the office

...something that I do not relish... argh! bakit ang bilis! why God why!?!?! I'm trying not to hit the sack muna..why kse it makes time go faster e....hay naku I better fix my stuff na coz for sure I'll be running late mamaya coz I'll be so tamad to get my flat butt up from my cozy bed

maybe I can call in sick.... ...hhmmmm what a thought.....

My appointment with my new dentist went quite well. Like usual, i had my initial apprehensions...of course! I'm scared of dentists what do you expect?!?!?! My old one migrated to the States so I had to find a new one and thank God for friends, I quickly had a new one in the guise of my friend, Rica. How we became friends would eat up another entry but just a gist both of our ex-es, Inigo and Carroll, are part of this very close-knit barkada. Anyway, I sat on the Chamber of Pain for roughly about 2 and a half hours. I didn't have anything major done since she says that I would need an oral (or was that dental) surgeon for some tooth to get extracted because it couldn't be done through the usual extraction..yada yada yada yada...anyhow, after that, Ace and I, went to Megamall to eat after that we decided to get a massage and a facial..God knows I baaddddllyy need one....I usually go to Urban Spa (you can include this on my gift list!!!) in Shangri-La but since we were in Megamall...why not try a different one! So we tried the services of the Holistic Circle Inc. (SM MegaMall 5th Level, Bldg. A Tel. 634-7271, 914-4376---> commercial pa!). The ambiance at first was ok until I heard people talking and utensils clanging (not so loudly of course) as it turns out the room that we were in was just beside the main hallway that separated the other rooms plus the lounge area of people who were working there and we were just hidden from everyone's prying eyes by a banig and some stuff pa ( i didn't try to investigate anymore)...there was also no soothing music nor those wasping aromatherapy amoys lit in the room. there was a candle alright but it was just for decors. the massage was ok..nothing great BUT not good either...i always thought that massages should start from the head down to the shoulders and the feet being last. This is time it was jumbled...legs then back then arms and aaaa basta labo labo na so it wasn't that soothing tlaga...kainis...then after that the masahistas handed us a small envelope for their tips..for God's sake! sana sa front desk nalanag nakalagay! After that we were led to the facial area..labo no??? sarap first then pain...tsk tsk....over-all rating--->1.5....sige na nga a 2 nalang (pilit pa)..would I go back there? my still aching back sez no.

off to a 4 day weekend...i was dying for this!!! absolutely dying...i was getting pissed na here and there...i usually have a sunny disposition but for some reason I was getting really really irked na...with the customer who thinks that she's high and mighty just because I was pinoy (du-uh! sana marunong ka mag spell muna no you ugly american)...i wanna ramble on about some people here on the team but delicadeza gags my mouth so zip it hundun!...and I was tired na tlaga...dead tired! So no going out or going to the mall--(weh?) but just plain rest and fix my poor house :(

be afraid...be very afraid...


i uttered a silent prayer to the wind many moons ago
it was a whisper....a silent cry from the deep recesses of my heart
it was a whisper....
a silent cry
a whispered scream
a soundless shrill..... a hushed blare
a muted shout
an unuttered screech
noiseless howl

it was tossed to the wind with a fervent prayer and with an unfailing hope and a sempiternal faith
that it will find its way....that it will glide to the expressway of prayers to God street...and bring forth a riposte....

and it did...

do i answer it?

--end--

An ingrate, I assure you I am not...but the my battle scars show so prominently ...not on the outside but inside and I am but a cesspool of scars...all a thousand and one if i may say....

they say that when we utter a prayer we also must be ready for the answer however it may be...and this is one answer that I thought would never be answered....I almost had given up hope

......Unthinkably good things can happen, even late in the game. It's such a surprise

ehem ehem ----> you see that on the right side of the page? a bit lower than this line...just above the snake..you see that?!?!?!?! lapit na no?

During a Today's show host Matt Lauer with Tom Cruise, Lauer mentioned Cruise's earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants, Cruise told the "Today" show co-host he didn't know what he was talking about.

"You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do," Cruise said.

The interview became more heated when Lauer, who said he knew people who had been helped by the attention-deficit disorder drug Ritalin, asked Cruise about the effects of the drug.

"Matt, Matt, you don't even -- you're glib," Cruise responded. "You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That's what I've done."

I used to totally luurrvv Tom Cruise...until he left Nicole...I used to still like Tom Cruise...his movie was the reason why I wanted to be a TopGun...why I wanted to go to Fightertown to study...i used to totally be inlove with him (and who wouldn't?!?!?!?) until he argued with Matt Lauer and said that taking anti depressants is "wrong" according to Scientology. This guy obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. Obviously you have never been depressed.


I have and believe you me exercise does NOT help. So shut yer fuckin' trap and just do what you do best...flash your 1,000 watt smile.

For Susan Roces, advice from ‘Sabrina’

By Victor Alfred A. Villano
INQ7.net

NOT BEING a big fan of many Filipino movies, I can't really say whether Susan Roces' June 29 performance—both her speech and her replies to reporters' questions— was one of her best. Yet one cannot help but be of two minds about what Ms. Roces had to say.

On the one hand, her words, passionate and angry, were certainly powerful. That line about Mrs. Arroyo stealing the presidency "not once, but twice" was a real zinger: you could almost feel a blade cutting through the president’s skin, slowly, blood oozing out with every utterance. And that reply to a question about what Mrs. Arroyo called the “sacrifice” that was her husband's impending exile? (Ms. Roces disavowed any knowledge of the president's marital history.) A masterful display of excoriation by ridicule.

On the other hand, Ms. Roces' words could also be seen in a different light: powerful though they may have been, one could see them as expressions of a widow’s pent-up frustrations, finally given plausible reason for release (plausible, because to be fair, Mrs. Arroyo’s guilt has yet to be established). What we saw may well have been the fury of a woman at least thrice scorned—by the courts, by fate (her husband’s death), and now, by the Gloria-gate tapes. Her performance, seen from this angle, was more rabble-rousing rant than speech; more cutting riposte than reflective response.

But whatever one makes of her performance, what was truly striking about Ms. Roces was her evasiveness on the question of what her followers—whom she considers, perhaps a bit presumptuously, to be the entire Filipino nation—should do. Rouse the rabble she may have done, but to what end? To bring the government down? Apparently-- unless you are willing to believe that the point of the whole Club Filipino spectacle (spectacular?) was to allow Ms. Roces some venue for, um, "emotional release."

If regime change was the goal, how did Ms. Roces propose that it be achieved? Mum was the word on that score, at least at first. Say what you must about legal adviser Harriet Demetriou’s hairdo, but the woman knows her law. Ms. Roces mentioned—or maybe hinted--that she left the means for toppling the government to that apparently homogenous--and apparently very, very much affronted--gob called “The People.”

But who are "The People"? Rez Cortez? Elly Pamatong? Me? Oh yes, maybe she meant that other HGLE (homogenous gob-like entity):"The Masses."

At one point in her speech, Ms. Roces cried: "Tuloy ang laban!” The struggle must go on. (Much like "the show?" one wonders). Ms. Roces’s intentions were exposed, to my mind, by her reply to a reporter who asked if she was calling for people to take to the streets. She noted that the reporter seemed quite eager for this to happen, then said something that might well have been a line in one of her late husband’s, or maybe Eddie Garcia's, movies. Voice quivering, she declared: "Umpisahan mo, tatapusin ko!" In other words: let the gob well up in the streets, and then… then I shall lead it!

Showbiz, as we all know, has long ago reached the political big-time in this country. But this is getting seriously ridiculous. Ms. Roces would be well-advised to do what Harrison Ford once told his frantic on-screen mother in his otherwise forgettable remake of "Sabrina": Take a pill.

Afterword
On a lighter note, if "The People" are a "gob", what would one call the individual citizen, a goblin? Given Filipinos' recent political history, one wonders whether we are, all of us, a nation of self-destructive goblins--mischievous and ugly demons.

.

such a telenovela..orchestrated by such a masterful hand with all its twists and subplots all coming into place...and I a mere citizen just my head in utter dismay...NOT AGAIN...

I do not understand why, in God's name (thou shall not take the Lord God's name in vain), should one take into the streets for supposedly "his small voice as a masa" to be heard. I have never believed in taking to the streets for whatever
purpose it may serve...lest its a 10 mile marathon to raise money for some charitable cause...or a street party for happy times like the new year or town fiesta...shouting at the top of your voice has never been an answer to an argument...yes you can be heard amidst the din of all the drum roll and
shouts BUT ARE YOU LISTENED TO? Will it actually make a difference if you parade in one busy boulevard and wave make shift banners with the sentiments of your "heart" etched on it? For the dreary masses, they say that it is. For the street parliamentarians, they it is. Look at EDSA 1 and 2 and ~ugh~ 3...and please no more 4 or 5 or 6...another one would be an utter sacrilage to what martial law generations stood for back in 1986...it would be sacrilage to what the much much much older street parliamentarians stood for back in the days of the Spanish Revolution led by Bonifacio, who, as we know, is also "masa". Take to the streets for a cause that is beyond political and selfish causes..take to the streets beyond your neighbor's or your kumpare's cause..take to the streets because your very living is threatened..take to the streets because you have no option but to do so because lack of action will take away the very basic right of every human being...freedom...freedom to live the life you want...unless that happens..work..for God's sake work..and work hard while you are at it!
