May I please fall in love with you?...

I got the line from the korean show My funky family...

Im in a sentimental mood now. Probably because of that line and the song believe by Yuko Yamaguchi. Its such a great song and well the melody is quite nice to.

I have to thank Vea for giving me a very good laugh. She said somewhat of a stupid thing that really got me laughin my ass off. We were talking about anime's and then astroboy came up. Then suddenly Vea blurted, "nung una akala ko Girl si Astroboy" wahahaha damn that really cracked me up, haha it could be corny but the way that she said it really was a thing to laugh about.

Thought for the day:
May I please fall in love with you?...

6A the reunion...

Had a very boring day at the start but things got a little bit better in the afternoon.

WEll the 6a people of lsgh batch 2000 had a little reunion in the afternoon. It was kinda fun to see a lot of my former classmates there. Although some did not really change that much. Hehe

I had to thank powee for fetching me and also driving me home. At first I was not really supposed to go but powee kindly offered to take me there and bring me home.

I guess the reunion is another bittersweet memory for me. It was kinda fun reminiscin about some of the days when i was still very young, but it was also a reminder for me that we are now living lives that are separated by our school choices... Its not as east as going from classroom to classroom now, or waiting for recess and lunch to be able to be with them. Being with them now means careful scheduling of activities because of the different and conflicting schedules of our college lives.

Thought for the day:
May I please fall in love with you?...

High Muckamuck???

Went to lsgh this morning to distribute yearbooks again...

Well as usual nothing much to do but wait for students to come, so we wasted our time doing crosswords. There was this item in the crossword that was kinda long around 10 letters (could be more) with the clue being High Muckamuck. Well what the heck is a muckamuck?

Dictionary.com states that:
high muckamuck also high muckety-muck
n. Slang

An important, often overbearing person.

So the word could have been overbearing but then it's too latefor that now, hehe...

Went to cybersphere and saw that the lakers won over the timberwolves, yeah! It's now 3-1 for the lakers, i hope they really win the championship this time. Pat and I also tried to understand the different basketball plays used by the nba teams, hehe. I realize that basketball is not just about dribble and shots but include every twitch and other movements of the body of the different players all over the court.

Then Iking and I went ahead to galle to watch Shrek 2. I was kinda forgetful so I had to call up Pat, to tell him to bring the shades that I left at the table. But back to the movie, WOW! that was one heck of a movie, the movie was outrageously funny with the voice acting and all, and the parody of some of the most famoust fairy tales.

After the movie, I hooked up with Alden, James and Pat to play billiards. Hehe I had a very bad game except for that one shot using the right hand (im a leftie but the ball position then did not really enable me to use my left) that actually went in hehe...

After that we went to magoo's pizza to eat, hehe great food, expensive price though. wahaha The saleslady was kind enough to give me the shades that I left on the counter hehe. (the heck that was the second time i left that shades, doingk)

Then I hitched another ride home with James. James' Mom kindly drove me home. James and his family have really been kind to me. Not mentioning the other things that James does for me, I guess that must have been the umpteenth time that they drove me home or to ali mall. They say that it's on the way but heck its not really that close. I really wish I can repay them in some way...

Thought for the day:

One day the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yes," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered: "Well, I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they are surrounded by friends."

The boy's father was speechless!
Then his son added, "Thanks dad for showing me just how poor we really are."

wealth is a matter of perspective...

Basketball, Block, and a Borderless world.

Went to lsgh to help in the distribution of yearbooks...

Well I wasn't really able to help much haha unless you count moral support as helping in a big way thhen that means I helped.

Played basektball with Pat and James, I was sucky in my free throw shooting but i was pretty much able to hold my own during the one on one against Pat, although i lost 21-19 it was a great game, and it did a lot of good for my confidence. The reason for the close score could be the fact that there was no three point arc making the match more of a driving game. Pat is one of the better long range shooters in our class but he wasnt able to use it here cause his long range points can be matched by a layup, hehe i was able to make good drives and some nice shots and moves but i ultimately lost to the better overall baller hehe... and i got cramps to boot wahahaha daym.

Then played some graduation hmm I had a pretty good touch during the game hitting four straight treys during one stretch but well the other players left cause they didnt really want to sweat that much. And probably because of the bothersome little kid.

I did play another one on one game though, this time with the kid half my age and half my size as well wahaha. He was kinda boastful during the graduation game so I took him up on his offer for one on one, i did give him good breaks on defense but well of course i didnt really give him that much of a chance when i played him on offense, using my height and speed (wow how often can i say that?) to defeat the little kid.

When i got home, i tried teaching some kid neighbors on how to dribble the basketball, then one of the kids got overconfident coz i praised him and challenged me to a stealing contest, hmm well he needs new slippers now coz I used every skill that i have against him wahahaha (and this was against a little kid man how rude of me, damn).

Blocks were released a while ago, im in a class of 30, 17 of them females and of course 13 males, hmm well I hope i make new friends among those, and find someone whom I can really get close with, I think it's kinda good to have someone who is gonna help you during the transition period from high school to college.

I typed Patricia Evangelista's speech in notepad. I got the copy from LIBRE when I rode the mrt one time but I left the page with Iking, and i was just able to get them back a while ago. I typed it even if i can easily find one on the internet and just copy and paste because it enabled me to understand her speech deeper (since i read it while typing) and make my typing skills a little bit better. Wow that gal can really do great speeches...

Thought for the day:
Yes, it is indeed a borderless world

Sleepless...

I havent slept since yesterday...

May 25, 2004

Didn't really do anything, I wasnt able to go to lsgh to distirbute yearbooks, I got kinda lazy and I also had to stay home coz my mom was about to leave for africa hehe. I was chatting the whole day and playing some computer games. Another one of those super boring days i guess...

May 26, 2004.

Again I wasn't able to go to lsgh since my driving lessons were rescheduled to an earlier time. Damn so much for holding on to the last moments of my high school life. As i said eralier, I didnt have any sleep so I was kinda woozy hahaha. But then the driving instructor said that i was great awhile ago and my reaction time was very nice, hmm makes me wonder if i need to be sleepy to be able to drive pretty well. I still have to go the ear doctor's office (around 5 o clock) so i guess I'll go now and blog about it later.

Wow i had around 20 typographical errors while doing this blog my hands are not hitting the proper keys anymore hehe i need some sleep... well 21 now coz i typoed again while typing this.

Parting thought:
Kagabi kayakap ko ang unan, at napanaginipan kita, sana ngayon sa panaginip ko ang unan at ikaw na ang kayakap ko...

Strike!

A warm and sunny day today, a change from the dark and cold days that we had.

Started the day by going to lsgh, we distributed yearbooks but there were only very few people who actually came and got them. This could be because dlsu's opening of classes was today and well a lot of our batchmates went to dlsu for college...

Since we had a lot of spare time in our hands we played a weird game using the scope 2004 posters and the Shrek dvd case. We were trying to knock down the case by using airplanes made with the scope 2004 posters. I guess we wasted an hour or so just doing that, haha how mature of us.... wahhaahah

Then we went to galle to play some bowling. Well it was my first time to play and i sucked, BIG time. I was missing the lanes and hitting the gutters, and lofting the ball wahahaha, well at least the last frame showed something good, i was able to roll the ball in a pretty good manner, kinda like releasing a basketball and knowing that the shot will go in as soon as it left you hands...

Went to starbucks and met some of powee's friends, ordered hot chocolate and it made me think on why im ordering it there when i can also get it in mcdonalds for a much cheaper price wahha. Oh welpz...

I guess im going to lsgh again tomorrow to ditribute yearbooks oh welpz, i kinda like hanging around there anyway, i guess its my way of hanging on to the few remaining moments of my high school life.

Tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka...

Another rainy day, and its soo cold...

Hmm went to driving lessons. Finally got that damn clutch problem. The instructor for today was the best since i started. After driving , I went to ali mall to hear mass and then I went home and played computer all day.

The weather is so cool, and is very conducive to sleep. And i really like sleeping on rainy days, sleeping could be the 2nd best thing to do during cool weather...

In the Clutch...

A pretty ok rainy day. Car driving lessons, sleep and video games...

these definitions were taken from www.dictionary.com
Clutch
n.
6. A tense, critical situation
adj. Informal
1.Being or occurring in a tense or critical situation: won the championship by sinking a clutch putt.
2.Tending to be successful in tense or critical situations: The coach relied on her clutch pitcher.

Well i dont know why performance during pressure filled situations is called performing in the clutch heh but today i dont need to perform in the clutch I need to perform well using it. Somethings wrong with my clutch and gas control, hehe the cars kinda jerky and at times the engine stops because of it. Everything else seems ok, hehe i guess after around 70 minutes of actual driving, i should get the feel of it already, but i still dont, hehe maybe tomorrow i would get it already.

Addicted to the game midnight club II, hehe this racing game is so cool, its actually quite difficult but that adds to the fun factor. Its quite fun to listen to the initial d songs that i have while playing the game thanks to the built in mp3 player of the game. It makes me feel more immensed into the game.

Love-Destiny

I worked on my site for most of the day.

I finally got it up, the second edition of the poetry site Love-Destiny. Hehe, needed lots of help from online tutorials since I forgot how to do html coding. Well here's the link if you're feeling kinda mushy and stuff:
http://www.freewebz.com/love-destiny
A lot of the poems there were my creatin, hehe the ones done by Golden Boy, but of course contributions are also very much welcomed. Just email it to me. Mico@janhoo.com

Im kinda happy that the lakers won over the spurs hehe. Great win against a great team.

Longest Day...

I was up till 7 am saturday.

I wasnt able to sleep because of my right ear. I guess I finally realized what the meaning of writhing in pain is. My right ear was so painful i was squirming and gnashing my teeth so hard. I was already experiencing the pain starting 1 am and well the hours that passed seemed so long...

Well when I think about it, a short moment can actually be quite long, especially in a basketball game. Hehe Derek Fisher was able to make a turnaround fade away jumpshot with 0.4 seconds left on the clock hehe. That's an amazing shot that I probably wont forget in my life time.

Since we're on the topic here are some other amazing last second three point shots that i won't forget:
1. Bal David's Desperation three pointer from halfcourt that went in just as the buzzer sounded making ginebra win against san miguel. - Im an SMB fan all the way but that shot was simply awesome.
2. Robert Horry's three pointer against the Sacramento Kings during the 4th game of the playoffs. A lucky play but a not a lucky shot. He was at the right place, at the right time.
3. Joseph Yeo's halfcourt shots. Hehe he does this so many times which is really great, makes me believe that he practices it. hehe even if im an atenean ANIMO LASALLE always...
4. Kenny Redfield's three pointer against Alaska, that one them the game.. It was a great shot with time running down, he's three pointer was somewhat of a fastbreak and he was leaning in, so it seemed that the three pointer came from the free throw area.
5. Kobe Bryant's three pointer against Portland that sent the game into overtime.This is one hell of a shot, he was being shadowed by Ruben Patterson, the self proclaimed "Kobe-Stopper", and well he wasnt able to stop that...
6. Kobe Bryant's three pointer against Portland that sent them to the top of the Pacific Conference.Another great shot, hehe over the great shot blocker Theo ratliff.

After Derek Fisher made that shot, he said something like guys dream about making shots like that while growing up... well to be honest i do too, I remember the times I wasted on the basketball court thinking about improbable situations and how I, the little 5'3 kid from LSGH (well ADMU now) would suddenly hit a game winner, send the crowd into a frenzy and jump with joy at the great thing that i have done...oh well.

I can dream can't I?

Insomniac?

Its 6:56 am and I still have no sleep...

Yesterday I went to Lsgh to do some yearbook stuff, to be honest I wasnt really able to do much because of this damn right ear. It really was hurting me.

I bought the Initial D: Mountain Vengeance game. Well the game sucks, The controls re so crappy and you cant really drive well. Imagine including a drift button in the keyboard. And expecting you to use it during turns or else you wont be able to make it. This sucks since even if you are moving slowly you would still hit the guard rail if you dont do the drift button. And well Damn drifts are supposed to be done manually hehe.

Chatted wth Patchoi, a chat friend from st scho talked about a lot of things especially chinitas haha, well i was very hyper during the conversation, Im still expecting the gal. patchoi hehe

Oh well its now 7:00 am i think its just an hour or so til the lakers - spurs game, hehe of course im a lakers fan so GO LAKERS, but tony parker is really great.

Well I was supposed to stop there but then winamp plays a song and a line from it caught my attention. This line comes from the song Fly Me to The Moon and Back from the initial d soundtrack:
"I wanna share this beautiful moment, so c'mon baby tell me you're free tonight"
Well i guess i can relate to it a bit, hehe especially after the patchoi conversation, Kinda got me thinkin about why i never had someone to share my beautiful moments with. Hehe well though one might argue that friends are there, i guess its very different when you share them with someone special...

Feel the pain...

I had a pretty active day, even if my right ear hurts like hell...

Woke up at around 6:30 am, even if i slept quite late since my ear hurted. I guess its also the reason why I woke up, i guess my body cant take it anymore.

Even if it was painful, I still wen to megamall to skate. I saw Ate Louann and Kuya Kitt, hehe I havent really seen those two in a long time. Makes me want to return to ice hockey as soon as possible. I also saw Jeipi and Jami hehe but then I wasnt really able to talk to them since Jeipi was busy with his students, and Jami was busy practicing. The rink was in bad condition though, Im guessing the pipes were broke since there is a part that had been cordoned of because of very thin ice, there were a lot of people too so it wasnt really that enjoyable to skate...

After skating, I played at the quantum arcade, I was doing quite well in dance maniax hehe and then i decidedd to pull of some exhibition moves and well everything turned bad, there was this guy though who played after me and he was quite good since he pulled off so many difficult moves and was still able to maintain a 497 combo score...

After quantum i decided to go to timezone, im finally getting the hang of the intial d game, i was able to beat 2 opponents straight but lost to the final one on the easy stage, i guess my car needs more power and a better skilled driver hehe

When i went home, i tried to download the song in my dreams from the dance maniax series, hehe with luck i was able to find one source who let me download the song off him.

Then i went to the ENT, and after cleaning up both my ears he said that i had an "impacted cerumen" thingie on my right ear, to be honest at first i thought i wasted my time there since even if he cleaned it my ear still hurt.

When i went home the pain started to get worse, so i applied the prescribed medicine on my right ear, well after sleeping for a while i guess my ear is a whole lot better, so thanks doc! i didnt waste my time after all :)

hehe this is quite long probably because a lot of things happened to me today... which is something new for this summer hehe

Boredom,

Another boring day darn...

I have an ear ache, for some reason my right ear hurts. Hehe damn .

Spent the whole day downloading japanese, korean and chinese songs. Im quite amazed that i listen to a lot of these types of songs even if i dont understand them. I guess I just like the melody and the rhythm of these songs.

Im also really taking full advantage of my unlimited isp connection. sure it's a crappy dial up but its still unlimited so it enables me to download lots of songs without the worry of me wasting my internet connection just because of downloads. The drawbacks of this kind of connection are that its kinda slow and that it automatically disconnects after 5 hours, but still hehe im making full use of it.

found a line from a forums site, its one of the signatures of one of the posters, it goes:
Unsung Melody: Sometimes it's what you dont hear that counts...

wow, for some i really like that line...

Happy Mother's Day

As Im writing this mother's day came up...

Well what to say? I dunno since its mother's day today im gonna write sumthin for my mother I guess...

A thought for mother's I guess... Try to avoid talking about how great the son or daughter of your friend is. It kinda puts ur child in an awkward position. It could make him feel that your expecting something from him and you want him to be better... Especially if your gonna talk about how great the child is when it comes to treating the mom (and dad) to different material things. And thinking out loud "How about my child will he act like this as well?" doesnt help also, it could actually frustrate him or her...

Another thought, hehe taken from the korean film my sassy girl. Hehe never tell your child that he is smart, he will never study after knowing that ahaha..

Oh well that's all for now...

Happy mom's day to all your moms!

Initial Drive

Woke up at around 6 30 am to go to A1 driving schools's sm north edsa branch. It was ameeting place so they can take us to LTO East avenue for our student permits.

After we got our permits, we went back to north edsa, where i had to kill time because there was still an orientation that would happen at around 2 in the afternoon. So I just played at the arcade and strolled around the mall till the time came.

Now that im about to start actual driving i am kinda excited. I wonder if I can pull of those takumi fujiwara initial d moves hahaha.

of Wheelz and Ballz

Had very little sleep today, 4 hours at the most hehe...

Played some basketball at lsgh, I was missin my long range jumpshots but my driving game was nice. I was able to hit layups over taller defenders and use good dribbling moves. Afterwards we went to the shower and took somewhat of a bath haha...

Then we went to galle to play some billiards, wel i guess i did pretty ok, i did miss a lot of easy shots though.

After that went to rustans cubao. and enrolled at the A1 driving school, im gonna get my students permit tomorrow at around 7 am so i better sleep early hehe..

FOREVER SPORT...

Thought for the week:

IMPOSSIBLE is JUST a BIG WORD THROWN AROUND by SMALL MEN who FIND it EASIER to LIVE in the WORLD they've been GIVEN than to EXPLORE they POWER they have to CHANGE it. IMPOSSIBLE is NOT a FACT. It's an OPINION. IMPOSSIBLE is NOT a DECLARATION. It's a DARE. IMPOSSIBLE is POTENTIAL. IMPOSSIBLE is TEMPORARY.

IMPOSSIBLE is NOTHING.

New look

Finally had the will to edit the colors of my blog.

Hmm I wanted a dark theme filled with the melancholic presence of red...
more edited part to come like the scroll bar and the border color but at least the main parts have been cleaned ehehe...

Thanks again to James for providing the layout of this page.

The week that was...

Another one of those boring days...

since I didn't blog since the early hours of the 25th im gonna do sumwhat of a flashback on the days that had gone by...

Sunday Afternoon (April 25)
Hmm texted a whole lot of people on my fonebook. Texted them quotes with the objctive of knowing who they were. Hehe I really lost contact with a lot of people and well I guess texting them is a way to reconnect...

Monday (26)
I went to Megamall skating rink, hehe saw Angela and i realized that it was her birthday hahaha... belated happy bday anj!, saw Cla but didnt recognize her oh welpz watta life ahahaha damn. Met up with alden and we went to the arcade, kinda frustrating to see the games that we used to play in podium for 20 bucks are just played for 6 there...

Tuesday (27)
hmm cant remember what happened ahaha guess i just slpet and watched tv hahaha damn... this is kinda freaky not knowing what happened ahahaha...

Wednesday (28)
Went to LSGH to play basketball. Had a nice time playing against Pinggoy and his gang. RObin's hot shooting enabled us to get 2 out of the 3 games ahaha during the three on three. We lost on the full court 5 on 5 though on a lead by two game ahaha darn that long ranged jumper. hehe My right leg cramped up though, damn this has been a persistent problem since 2nd year highschool...After that we went to gale to play some pool and well my shot sucked big time!

Thursday (29)
Just watched tv, saw the lakers decimate the rockets during the third and fourth quarters of the fifth game of the conference semifinals with the lakers leading the series 3-1, hope the lakers win this years championship, aside frim being a laker fan, i kinda pity karl malone, although i dont really like him, cant really help but appreciate the way he plays the game...

Friday (30)
Went back to Lsgh to do some yearbook stuff, hehe kinda frustrating but at least its something. After that we went to play some pool in podium and then i went home pretty early i guess it was just around 4 when i headed for home... Hmm aside from a few fnu hours here and there i guess it still is a pretty boring day. haha damn maybe i need a gf (hmm pls connnect????)

oh well basically that was the week that was...
i really do hope that i would have something better to do by next week ahaha...
