It's been raining the past few days nonstop. It's hard to get laundry done...and I NEED to get laundry done. And I've also been sick on and off the past two weeks, though it's hardly noticeable except for the weight loss I guess. It's weird that I don't look convincingly sick sometimes when I really am. This of course is much more of a disadvantage to myself than it is an advantage. But I like the rainy days, so I'm not really complaining.
Work has been going on well. I got to dub an episode or two in English(the language I'm more comfortable in), and it was a welcome change. Hopefully I'll get a copy of those episodes so that I have something to show for and as proof that at a time, this was actually something I did. Of course it doesn't hurt that my english dubbing isn't quite as bad as my visayan ones...so not as shameful to show around, haha.
School isn't half as bad too. I'm actually having fun, drawing naked people in front of me, black and white photography and designing logos for a zoo...why didn't I find out sooner about this course anyway...sigh.
Funny thing though about the new people I meet is that they have this "bad boy" impression of me. Well, anything is better I guess than a "gay" impression, haha. They actually think I have an active social and dating life, bwahaha...and they always think I'm hiding a girlfriend somewhere(I think my family has the same idea though too). Hmm...I make a lot of jokes about it, but I don't really think I look like a "player" do I? hahaha:) But the thought is more amusing than it is offensive.
Of course, maybe it doesn't help that most of the drawings they see or say I actually do well are of "attractive" women, haha. Oh well, I'm certainly not apologizing for that;p
....
About my new blog design...I do declare... I like it veeery much! haha. And anyone else who says otherwise...well, wala lang. labo ko:) Seriously, I think this is a more personal design, unique, less cluttered and hopefully more organized than the previous one (according to certain individuals). But I still have a few issues left like changing the font color (like the blue in the links and the tagboard), some of them just clash with the general scheme. And hopefully someday, I'll get some background music playing as well...:)

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh." - George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
There has always been something in silence that seduced me. The quiet things somehow seem more moving, more potent. So much stays in the realm of the unsaid, and after everything else, still so much would remain when we could say all that we can.

Tuesday, August 02, 2005
Last saturday, the original Badminton club memebers were complete once again with Joy descending from her throne from up the mountains, haha. We did the usual sports routine and headed for Gateway mall for lunch. We settled down at TACO BELL...but the guys in the group (which inludes me in case anyone is wondering:P, haha) decided to buy more chow from Wendy's coz boy we were huuungry! (I'm hungry again just writing about it).Then we toured around but got tired pretty quick and decided to look for a coffee place. We ended up in Figaro...where the girls got decent seats and us guys had to fit ourselves on two...uhm...chair cushions(?)...if thats what you call them. I guess it was the lack of anything interesting at the moment that we ended up watching the passersby outside (especially those descending from the escalator> it just occurred to me...maybe it shouldn't be called an escalator when you use it to go down a floor, don't you think?) and dubbed them with crazy conversations. At least we got a few laughs out of that one. Oh yeah...it was also interesting that we as a group commuted via MRT...something I wouldn't have really imagined to happen., haha. Some of us parted ways after that but some of us continued on to katipunan for some Ice Monster treatment. Then Gem, Joy, Miko, Flo and I headed for the student center for the saturday alumni thing for stillwaters(not that I'm an alumni yet, hahaha). In some ways it felt like a "Monday group" reunion as well...but it lacked too many of the essential characters:)
We then had dinner at Mcdo continuing our exchange of jokes and light(and not so light) conversation, and headed back home around 10 but I accompanied Joy to the Bus station since it was already late. It was a nice way to spend Saturday...I'm glad that sometimes I do find myself in good company.

Lost in Makati
I didn't have work yesterday but my dad was in town and so I had to meet up with him since he had some "goodies" for me and my bro. My brother couldn't make it since he's down with the flu (or so he tells us) so I'll have to do this little adventure on my own. I call it an adventure coz I haven't been to this part of Makati in a while and the hotel my dad is staying in is somewhat "low-profile". Well, true enough to my expectations, I end up walking around lost for about two hours...well, at least I enjoy walking in the rain. I learned a few things though, like if you wanna ask for directions, never ask security guards...they don't know squat but will pretend they do. It's better to look for those traffic aides...they were the ones who actually gave me some accurate information.
Eventually I find the hotel with my dad waiting outside and the first thing I notice is how thin he is. He tells me over dinner that it's coz he's been suffering from a toothache...I dunno. Anyway, we decided to watch a movie after at greenbelt. Stealth wasn't bad at all, the story wasn't as linear as I expected it to be and Jessica Biel is HOT!:) haha! But seriously, I think it was very well directed as far as the dog fights and flight scenes were concerned. And my dad enjoyed it too though he seemed much more amused at the fact that we were practically the only ones watching the movie at that time.
A nice bed to sleep in and a hearty bacon breakfast with the works is always a nice change for me, and I'll never ever mind having to commute to makati and back everyday if that was the case, hehe. I bid my dad a safe trip as he hands me the goodies that I came for me and my brother as we part ways from the hotel.
I take the train back and I think about my mom and dad, my brother who's gonna get married on september, and all the other changes that has happened and are continuing to happen... life seems so fast now. And I'm not usually there when stuff happens, especially to the people I'm closest to. I try to think I'll be able to catch up with lost time...but I'm starting to realize, there's no catching up with time...only losing.
