here is my first (and probably last) attempt for my bio. i am a music junky - music has always been a big part of my life, too bad, i ended up as an engineer and currently am working on an IT company - say goodbye to my rockstar lifestyle. what kind of music do i listen to? my collection ranges from coldplay, to keane, to cynthia alexander, to sandwich, radiohead, from corgan to beatles, from axl to regina spektor. i practically grew up in sampaloc with my auntie, near the rally-infected mendiola bridge - spent most of my childhood developing a delightfully overactive imagination. so there you go a hopeless romantic, flower-power, not-what-you-thought-i-was, and anything in between kind of guy.

ubo sipon lagnat tapos

i have spent err wasted the last two days just lying around my room because of this stupid cold. I hate this feeling, I have always been the go-go-go kind of guy, i really hate it when something out of my control gets in the way for me to be me. ok, ok, i was feeling kinda sneezy last monday - but i never thought that would translate to me getting prescriptions for antibiotics, solmux for my cough, and paracetamol for my fever.

I was hesitant to come to the office this morning - just because i am still feeling cold but when i actually stood up and took a bath - everything seems to be normal. This was not a smooth process though - i have to practically drag myself to the bathroom and dance like a crazy indian (like my baby :) ) after the first few buckets of water flowed from my head to my heels.

It has been raining lions and pitbulls for th epast few days - classes from all levels have been suspended since yesterday and government offices have been suspended as well. I was on a meeting this afternoon on the 28th floor and the heavy pours practically made the adjacent buildings invisible . anyways, i am still hoping that the floods will subdue by the time i pack my things here - i hate bargaining with these pedicab drivers since prizes can reach up to 100 bucks.

CRASH

i was channel surfing last night when i stopped at the Oprah channel for some reason and found out that tonight's guests are the cast from the movie CRASH. I remember buying a DVD of that title months ago but it ended up gathering dusts on my drawer. I bought that CD because i heard that it really was a great movie - with high-caliber stars, unfortunately it got buried by the new DVDs i bought along the way.

As the show moves along - i was getting deeply intrigued by this movie that i quickly shovel my way down to my DVD pile and pop the DVD inside my player. The movie is really all about racial discrimination in the US - the first few scenes will blatantly tell you all about it. Black men carnapping only the white guys in new york, white cops molesting black people, etc. etc. Other races are pitched in too - mexicans being tagged as gangster, asians are always seen as low-level caregivers, and Persians are seen as Arabs. The movie reminded me of LOST the series - since all characters are interconnected in one way or another which makes things interesting.

Each lives are touched or changed in many ways by their own prejudices - which is really heartwarming. The ending feels mixed but will still leave a mark in your hearts that you will surely remember until the coming months.

The story is really not that great but the story is really heartwarming - i give it 4 out of 5 stars.

an interesting story

this is a simple story of a boy and a girl - any names, location, characteristics are all fictional.

it is a long distance relationship - and they are already engaged. THE BOY NEVER SAID THAT HE WILL POSTPONE THE EVENT - that is already a given fact. The thing here is that a marriage will never and can never be prepared by one person alone - all the boy is asking - is in order for all the preparations to be completed on time - the boy needs help. If you can allot a significant amount of time to help in the preparations - then I will not force you to quit your job in cebu - pero do not think na matatapos ang preparations na magkahiwalay tayo kasi di talaga pede un - you are always asking kung ano ang makukuha mo pag lumipat ka dito? eh di ung gus2 natin pareho - ung kasal. I am not asking you to quit your career - kaya nga kita pinaghahanap ng career dito eh.

eto bagay na kanta sayo :)



Kinokompleto mo ang araw ko
sa tuwing inaaway mo
paggising sa umaga
mukha mo ang nakita
wala pang nagawa nakasimangot na
at pagsapit ng gabi tampo lalong lumalaki
ang gusto ko lambingan
ngunit may unan na namamagitan

chorus:
Ang almusal ay sigawan
Ang Hapunan natin ay tampuhan
Ang Mirienda pagdududa

Pero mahal kita
wala ng hahanapin pang iba
handa kong magtiis
kahit na
away,away,away na to...

Verse 2
Nahuli lang ng ilang minuto
Di na kinibo
Natrapik lang sa kanto
Di naman gwapo
naisip mo agad nan chiks ako
simple lang naman ang pinagmulan
pinahaba ang usapan
di naman kailangan
mahabang away na naman

repaet chorus till fade
