randomize

Just some random thoughts and events

Another boring day, to be honest it was a very boring week save for some excitement because of meetings and gimiks...

I asked James to edit the template of this blog, and well here is it now, im gonna fix the colors on a later date im getting kinda lazy even if there is nothing to do...

Played badminton last thursday. well it was actually my first time to play with a net and a real racket and shuttlecock, you know not the cheap ones that are being sold at malls today. I kinda enjoyed it might try to get myself into it.

Got my webcam yesterday and well it's doing pretty ok, save for the fact that i am in a dark place and there's nothing i can do anymore to enhance the quality of the images oh welps...

Status: Disconnecting to be online

Boring day again...

I didnt go online yesterday. I dont know sumthin just clicked in my head and said hey dont go online today (something bad will happen?) hehe and well i didnt. And i didnt really "miss" being online. It made me realize that though I am almost always online and use up so many hours chatting and surfing it is an empty activity for me. I mean it does consume time but that's all that it actually does, so far I havent really done anything useful or meaningful with it

Well obviously i connected to the net today, but I didnt connect to irc. I dunno, i guess i got quite tired with chatting since i have done it for some years already. But well, chatting has actually become somewhat a part of my life. It has been a refuge for my weary soul, a place for the latest infos on things that are actually happening in the "real world". It is also a way for me to meet some people and make new friends. Heck, one of the girls that I am very close to is someone that I havent even seen a person.

I guess i kinda like meeting people in Irc. IRc lets you interact with people but still gives you enough of a barrier so that you wont be too uncomfortable. Sometimes its a lot easier to open up to a complete stranger in chat, than to open up to a real friend. And Irc actually has a way for you to avoid the slip of the tongue since here there is a backspace button hehe. And I guess in Irc removes the discrimination against the appearance of people, here (well at least for me) as long as you can type your ok. Although sometimes the barrier itself can be a bad thing. It hides emotions and real motives of people but still what difference it is from the "plastic" people in the real world...

But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I can be a supermodel or Norman Mailer and you wouldn't know the difference But on the telephone line I am any height, I am any age I want to be
I can be a caped crusader, a space invader and you wouldnt know the difference or would you?

Tick, Tock

I was so bored that I actually looked at the clock and a watched time go by while listening to its rhytmical tick tock.

I noticed how slowly time goes by when you are bored. A second seemed like an hour during those moments. Then I remembered the moments when I was very happy, these moments when time seemed to go too fast. When I dont even notice that plenty of hours have passed. I guess time is not really measured by hours, minutes or even seconds. I guess time is measured by how much fun you had while a moment passed by. I guess (wow three guesses) it something like saying that the day was slow when you were doing nothing and that time flies when you are enjoying it.

I guess it's kinda weird, paradoxical even, that when I look at it now; the first three months of 2004 seemed to go too fast. But I remember during those days, when I was actually living on that timeframe when I said that the week was going too slow. Maybe it was too much schoolwork which made me quite burdened. then I realized that this moments should have been made special. I should have enjoyed these moments and lived them to the fullest.

Funny how the simple tick-tock of the clock can open up so many thoughts...

I hate it when it's stiff...

Damn I'm sick...

Well I have colds and fever and a stiff neck to boot. The fever and colds I can live with but the stiff neck is really causing me some distress and its damn frustrating. I cant lie down well, I cant hold my head up and I cant look to my left side without it causing me some pain. I wonder if this is really just stiff neck because this time its really very painful. I know I have a pretty high threshold when it comes to pain but damn this is really troublesome. Hehe could this be a sprained neck hehe.

Im in love with the song Go the Distance sung by the korean group Sugar. It is a japanese song that the group sung because they want to enter the japanese market...

The Sound of Silence

Damn, Another boring day in the life of mico ruiz...

Woke up at around 9 am. Had nothing to do so I turned on the computer and well played NBA Live. After that I watched some tv and then played again. Then I was asleep for some hours which is a good excuse to tell my mom on why I am still awake at this hour.

Well I found out that My Internet Explorer can;t handle embedded music files. I dont know why probably becasue of the built in player that IE 6 has. I guess Im not losing much since I only know of a few sites that still make use of the embedded sound files. But still knowing that your browser is somewhat faulty is not really that nice...

Rebirth

Haven't blogged for some time now. I guess I kinda got busy or lazy or both.

As I said before Im already an Atenean but still I believe that La Salle spirit is still very alive inside of me. I guess the roots of being a La Sallian really goes down deep. I wont deny that Im having some second thoughts about the decision. hehe I guess a factor is the reality that there are a lot of chinitas in dlsu damn hehe. I guess a somewhat of a consolation would be the fact that the course that im taking up in Ateneo is filled with chinitas ahaha.

On a more serious side, My sister is sick. I guess it struck me since she was somewhat near death. To be honest I was fearing the worst. I guess I was already conditioning myself of her loss... And the guilt that comes with not being able to show her how much I really cared for her. Luckily She's getting a lil bit better everyday. I guess this is something like a lesson. At least now I know that I should show someone how much I really love him/her before its too late.
