Idle hands and idle minds are the devil's playgrounds.

DSL connection! Hahaha. Hooked our phone line up with PLDT MyDSL and its been downloads galore ever since. Right now I'm gunning for Gilmore Girls episodes.

Levs was actually complaining about how slow PLDT DSL is. I don't really care right now. This is way better than dial-up. Hahaha. Although I wish I have some idea what to do with my dial-up modem.

Some Harry Potter 5 pictures were posted earlier this week! This group picture of the DA made me realize how excited I am to see this movie.


They've also got pictures of the Dolores Umbridge. Hahaha. She reminds me of Abby's cellphone. Click here to see what I mean.

I've found another project to do for the upcoming semestral break. Aside from my Gilmore girls marathon, actionscript and php tutorial hunting, I found a site that will help me make something out of the stacks of floppies I have at home. A floppy bag.


Hmm. I wonder what kind of fashion statement that would make at school. Haha. At least my mom would stop nagging me about them. If you'd like to get rid of your own floppies at home, just send them over. Hehehe.

I was visiting KC Concepcion's Multiply site earlier today. At least it was supposed to be hers. Hahaha. Well it did seem to be hers. Hahaha.

Ayun wala lang. Ganda talaga niya. Ctrl+D! Ctrl+D! Hahaha.

Haay. Ang sarap talaga ng mayaman. To be able to travel to Europe and visit all those places. Hehehe. Sana ako din. Haha. Or better, sana kasama niya ko. Hahaha. Hey a guy can dream right? :D

If you can't spot the sucker in the table during the first 5 minutes of play, then you are the sucker.

I joined a poker tournament earlier today. One, because I really didn't have anything else to do today, two, to see whether I have what it takes to play on tables where the stakes are more than your bag of chips.

I realized I didn't have in me. And people actually thought I could win. I didn't even advance to the second table.

I actually started out pretty well. Got some good cards. Played out some bad cards well. I was even chip leader in our table for a time. Things were going pretty well before my notorious complacency started to set in.

And then one thing went wrong. And then another. And then another. I tried to shake it off. To make one big play. But the more I tried the more I sink in. I was never lucky. That's why I wasn't looking for anything lucky. I tried to approach things the way I knew how. Thinking it through, and trying to come up with a good decision based on what I know.

But then the next thing I knew I was short-stacked, being bullied (quite artistically) by the Lasam cousins, and then going all in with an ace-five off suit. Against a pocket pair of queens. In all fairness I gave them a quick scare by flopping a straight draw. But then I was never lucky. The turn came up. And then the river. And no straight.

Calling into mind everything that had happened, I realized I really didn't know what happened. It was like at some point during the morning my head started to ache and then I stopped thinking and started feeling.

I started going with the feeling in my guts. Not realizing that that's just the bad breakfast I ate this morning and not a big booming voice in the sky telling me to raise. Haha. Tough luck. Then I again luck was always tough with me. And poor me I never really learned not to bet on it.

And so here I am. A hundred fifty bucks short witha headache to boot, just because I really didn't have anything to do on a Saturday.

Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever.

A new layout. Again.

Levs told me it's so JMA-ish. Maybe. Maybe not. I dont really give s***. I like red right now. I guess its partly because of the mood of things going on for me right now.

No. I'm not in love. That would have been a different shade of red. I'm in a murderous mood. Its funny how contagious that feeling is. I always wondered when it would infect me.

I guess it can't be helped. They say you drown evil with an abundance of good. But evil floats. Its like oil on water. It finds a way to surface, and when it does, its stinks. Maybe I should get a piece of the hair donation people are giving away for the Guimaras oil spill.

A good man passed away last week. A mentor and a friend.

He died of a sickness I can't quite spell correctly, so I won't even bother trying. It's funny, really. People wouldn't believe he was sick. He's fat. He's jolly. He's funny. But most importantly, he never forgets to smile. No matter how shitty things are, his smile was always there.

Maybe he's part of the reason why I always feel its wrong for people to bitch around when things aren't going their way. Shit happens. And when they do, you suck it up. Even when you feel like throwing up.

He was like that. That's why people around him always feel that certain glow in them when he walks in room and starts up a witty conversation.

I hope he was happy in the end.

Facial expressions are contagious.

A smile could as easily lighten up someone's day, as a frown can ruin one.

I just wish people can realize that.

Woosah.... Woosah.... Hahaha... Woosah... Woosah... Hahaha...

There. Now to think of the colors of my next blog layout. Hmm. Kidding. I think I'll let this one stay for a while.

Its a good reminder of what happens when you become what you hate the most.

Gaudium, etsi laboriosum

Finally, an update.
+++

Its official. I'm addicted to Insaniquarium.


I always thought I would get addicted to action packed games. Or to NBA Live and Madden NFL. But no. Popcap games did what EA games, with all their high-tech lifelike, RAM intensive sports games, could not.

Who could have thought managing an aquarium could be so amusing? I'm addicted and it looks like I'm not quitting anytime soon.

The UPCE website is up and running again! We got a new webhosting service. The old one kicked us out. Poor webteam. Poor Jay. Kahit alumnus na hindi pa rin nilalayuan trabaho sa CE. Hehe nonetheless maraming salamat kay webmaster Jay. Diyos lang siguro ang may alam kung saan pupulutin ang webteam kung wala si Jay. Thanks a lot, dude.

I found this one time when I was searching for something nice to read.


Its a comic from the creator of Sin City, Frank Miller about the Battle of Thermopylae.

Review of highschool world history: Battle of Thermopylae - a band of 300 Greeks fought a Persian army of a million men for 3 days. Though not one of the Greeks survived the battle, the Persians were made to pay so dearly that they were defeated soon after. Thus, ensuring the survival of the Hellenic civilization, and consequently our way of life today.

I don't know. I was always fascinated with ancient history, especially the wars. Well, most especially the wars. Maybe thats why I found the comic book a good read.

Halika na, sumiping na sa kama.
Lasapin natin ang ating pagsasama.
Sa'ting pagibig tayo ay umasa.
Habang tayo'y magkayakap sa dilim.

Damn. I can't get that song off my head.

Yakap sa Dilim by Orange and Lemons in the Kami nApo muna album definitely has one catchy tune. I just hope its not because of any repressed desire or anything of the sort.

Heehee. Maybe that's what ______ can give you. Oh well. I guess you really can't have everything. On the bright side, its better than having Ligaya playing in my mind.

As of the moment, I have 7 drafts waiting in my blog post folder. Damn. I can't seem to finish anything right now. I'm just not in the mood for it I guess. I can hear someone telling me, "Mood is a thing for cattle and women! Mood is not for writing!" Oh well. They may have to wait for a long while yet.
