against the flow

i really wanted to go to makati to chia's birthday celebration but transpo problems got in the way. abi invited me to go hang out in greenhills instead. so we went. brian tagged along too.

had fun. highlights were brian breaking loose on the arcade and meeting a friend in Promenade and of course this line: after teasing abi with cheesy  love songs with guys she has been and being linked with, i ask her, "eh, ano naman yung theme song natin?"

EEEEEEEEEEEYUNAMANPALAEHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i won at stacker again! i'm sensing a pattern here. every time i win, it's always the big stacker machine with the dolls instead of the gameboy and cellphones. and also it's always on the frist try that i win. so i guess that's it. hahaha. i let abi choose which one she wanted. she chose eeyore.

she beat me in basketball again. AGAIN. hahaha. second game, i won. but it was because she was tired na daw we played airhockey too. it seems to be our favorite. it was just an exhibition game, not having any bearing on our championship standings. LOL

brian followed shortly and we drummed away. that's always fun in timezone. 

i usually come up with songs on my walks going to school. i had this great tune in mind, overlayed with some nice lyrics and everything was just so rythmical. it was nice.

then i forgot how it went. psssshh. 

it's official. i'm a dork.

i did Magic cards, i spent a good deal of money upgrading my Tamiya car, i did a significant amount of time playing online games and in the process, spending a lot too. i spent a significant amount of time and effort practicing Dance Revo in malls and more currently, i am spending on Drummania.

i am a dork. a nerd. a geek.

i wouldn't really say that i'm hardcore though. unlike those people wearing those naruto headbands in school. that's just... low. hahaha. but i have attended some conventions like POGS (philippine online gaming summit) and did think twice about cosplaying some of the character in online games that i play. but i guess that's just the inner geek inside of me speaking. LOL

yesterday, while playing drummania in galle, this girl swiped her card meaning to fall in line after me. just on my peripheral vision, i saw that she had glasses. hmm. after i was done playing, i stood and gave way to the next players. man, she was a cutie. she's a nerd and she's cute! it doesn't get better than that!. hahaha. i mean, really pretty! she played one of the more difficult songs in the game and that was just awesome. someone this awesomely cute was just as awesomely good at playing the game i'm currently addicted to. hahaha. i'd talk to her if it weren't for her father standing beside her. hahaha. oh well, i'll never see her again.

just a few minutes ago, this little girl played guitar freaks. i mean, she's probably like 7 years old and was half my height. that's cute. i just had to take a video and a picture. haha.

geek! geek! geek! geek!

i'm gonna buy a tarantula. i'm psyched! i've loved arthropods since i was a kid, especially spiders! but now that i'm actually about to own one, a really big one at that, it makes me wonder.... do i really have what it takes to take care of one? i mean, it's my first one. i lack experience. i do, however, have read a great deal about tarantula care and stuff so i think i'll be OK. it's a low maintainance pet so i'm pretty much ok since i dont really maintain stuff that i own LOL

can't wait. dad says he'll ask a ew questions before giving me the money for it. hehehe. i hope his reactions will be to my favor.

i should be doing my lit paper but i'm browsing through people's blogs instead. patay tayo diyan.

whenever i visit my alma mater, i can't help but reminisce. those were the best years in my life, 4 years for most and 5 years for special cases like me.

i visited ateneo HS yesterday morning to get some info for my report on my music education class. i was to find out what foreign influences the ateneo high school had, may it be in the curriculum, architecture, etc. as for architecture, well, you can screw that since the original buildings were razed in a fire in the intramuros campus and the padre faura site where they transfered was bombed by americans. only thing that was left was a statue that was transfered to the present site in loyola heights.

what was i to report on? apparently, the jug and post disciplinary system was introduced to the ateneo by an american jesuit. bingo. i found out all of that info from a student handbook which the textbook office graciously gave me. being an alumnus has its perks! haha.

i went to the cafeteria, one of my most favorite places in the high school, and saw that my favorite stalls were gone. Racefoods was no longer the concessionaire so the "metal tray place" was no longer there. well, it still was but it's different now. the nestle stand no longer sells iced tea. hey, the new concessionaire didn't have to go THAT far. they knew that nestle sold iced tea like iced tea flavored pancakes, but why did they have to stop them from selling their product? apparently, all's not fair in an economically driven society. nestle still gets by, i think. though they only sell Milo now. surprisingly, they were still the same vendors that were there since i was a high school freshman. McBene is gone and so is the japanese thing beside it. there were a lot of stalls that i no longer know of. no more tia maria's, blue seal, etc..

APSA! the office of the Associate Principal for Student Affairs. i was never fond of this place, but i found myself going here for an ocasional jug or post. i got suspended once too. it was nice seeing MR APSA. i never really got to know his name. haha. i saw mister pedro san pedro too. he was looking out for the boys doing posts. summer's already started in highschool and these poor lads had to do posts instead of sleep longer. lol.

i visited blueskies. marlon was there. the guy has been shopkeeper ever since i can remember. literally. i first played quake2 and starcraft in grade 6 and he was already there. it's like he's indestructible. haha.

really, all i needed was in the student handbook. what really made the whole trip worthwhile was the old and new faces and things that made me feel that i was in high school again.

last saturday was the day of MJ's despedida so after finishing the stuff i had to do in school, i headed for his place. i was to help him prepare his place for his party.

i was there by 3:30pm and we headed for the grocery. there was a nestle booth there which offered free body-weight index diagnostics. we gave it a shot. it turns out that MJ is underweight and i am in tip-top shape. as in VG with a gold star and a kerokeropi sticker. hahahaha

there was a lot of carrying involved in the preparations and when i got down to rest, i dozed off. a good hour of sleep, i think. all the people almost came all at the same time. there was a good number of iboys who came. there were some nostalgic flashbacks of highschool highlights (that's inevitable in a gathering like this) but most of the party consisted of MJ's mom's great cooking and malt. not all that were invited came though. nevertheless, it was still an enjoyable party for parting ways.

THE WEATHER IS SO HUMID. it's so uncomfortable. once you start sweating, you don't stop. bleah. 

it's summer, and i'm cramming. that's how lazy i am. hahahahhaa

ok, so i finally saw the movie and it totally rocked. absolutely. i mean, MAN. it was a good movie! what really moved me the most was the greek's attitude toward pride and how high they thought of themselves. i also found the war strategies to be very amusing, from the messengers to the actual war itself. the cinematics were great. the battle scenes were shot so well. ugh. i was never a big fan of blood and gore but this movie was so good, i enjoyed every minute of it. the spartan's bodies! whoa! i mean, i'm no fag, but those abs are way too good to be true! every one of them had pan de sal abs! the actor who played king leonidas was at conan just a few hours ago and he said that they all did intense training just for the movie. way cool. king leonidas' roars were also cool. his voice really bellows as he commands his troops. really good choreography, none of that star wars or matrix graceful fight scenes. these guys wielded european swords, not lightsabers nor asian blades. these guys really showed brute force. i mean. wow. this movie's so intense, everyone of you should see it.

i was a bit apprehensive before watching it coz the people who watched with me heard from other sources that it sucked bigtime. i decided to still watch coz they were the only people whom i know who said that, and they were proven wrong after the film. they loved it as well.

after the movie, we ate at max's. a bit pricy, but des was craving for sinigang.

 

 

now that it's summer, i want to do a lot of things. i want to work out. i want to learn how to cook more stuff. i want to make iced tea (i perfected the recipe at the UST condo). i want abs. i want to go out. i want my tarantula. i want everything!

as king leonidas said, "give them nothing, but take from them everything!"

that was intense.
