What can I say… I have good taste in friends…

So I just recently came out to my friends, and some of them have even met the wonderful girlfriend. So far, I have received nothing but best wishes and support (and of course the usual mockery… oh, wait, the mockery part was just for jas!)

No one asked “why”, or “are you sure”, or any other insulting questions that would undermine who I am or the decisions I make. All of them were just happy for me.

I know I rarely say this, but to my good friends… THANK YOU!

It’s great to be loved and accepted by people like you.
(ang keso….)

i'm back on earth and I have a secret to tell!

Ok, so I've been lazy with doing updates on my blog... I've been pretty "high" lately, thus blogging is the least of my concerns... (ang taray ng bruha!?!)

So what's new with your 2nd-to-the-last favorite blogger?

Well, I just got back from the Philippines last weekend. I conveniently sneaked back into the country to have a few dates with my girlfriend.

Huwaaaaat????

Yes, ladies and gentlemen of the blogsphere...

I have a girlfriend. And I'm not talking about the "hey there, girlfriends!" type of girlfriend you have mani-pedi and hair braiding/curling sessions with.

Yeah, I know. Belated Happy National Coming Out day to you too! :)
(Incidentally, it's the same day as our anniversary... strange, but true!)

BEST.WEEKEND.EVER.

wala lang... :)

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

wala lang...
excited lang...

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..........

breathe... breathe....

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..........

"What is this to you?"

Keith Olbermann's commentary of the passage of California's proposition 8 which banned gay marriage:



Now if only all the straight people of the world thought the way he did, wouldn't this be a more wonderful place to live in?

ma-keso ang araw na ito...

No Ordinary Love

This could have been just another day
But instead we're standing here
No need for words it's all been said
In the way you hold me near
I was alone on this journey
You came along to comfort me
Everything I want in life is right here
'Cause

Chorus:
This is not your ordinary
No ordinary love
I was not prepared enough
To fall so deep in love
This is not your ordinary
No ordinary love
You were the first to touch my heart
And everything's right again with your extraordinary love

I get so weak when you look at me
I get lost inside your eyes
Sometimes the magic is hard to believe
But you're here before my very eyes
You brought joy to my world
Set me so free
I want you to understand
You're every breath that I breathe

Chorus

From the very first time that we kissed
I knew that I just couldn't let you go at all
From this day on, remember this:
That you're the only one that I adore
Can we make this last forever
This can't be a dream
'Cause it feels so good to me

Chorus x2

... hindi ba yun ang ibig sabihin ng "footless" ???

apparently hindi lang yun... so says my word of the day

hhmmnn... are we running-out of English words that we had to reuse them for some other meaning and purpose?

Oh well, don't mind this post, it's footless!

Today is not a good day... :(

**sigh**

" Okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. But Derek, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me. "

---Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

it's one of those days...

... I'm sad, pero di ko alam kung bakit. (yet another case of the crazies, perhaps? )

Marami naman akong dapat ikatuwa at ipagpasalamat...
And it's not even that time of the month, so I can't put the blame on hormones on this one!

Baka kase umuulan ng malakas?
Baka kase malamig dito sa server room?
Baka kase gusto lang mag-self-clean ng eyes ko?
Baka kase kelangan kong mag-post ng something dramatic every month sa blog ko?

*sigh*

Kelangan ko lang sigurong maglakad-lakad...

wala lang ulit...

Now is all I know
Now is all I got
And I don’t know
If there will be tomorrow for us.

Now is all I care about
Now that you are here
Now that you’re the contents of my heart.

Now you’re all I know
Now is all I promise
And I don’t know
If there will be a future for us.

Now is all I live for
Now that you are near
And it was best that from the start it was clear.

Refrain:
Loving is not owning
We can let it go
We can let it go.

Loving is not owning
You can let me go
You can let me go.

Chorus:
There’s a reason
Why we love each other now
And we don’t know if this is forever.

There’s a reason
Why we are together now
And we don’t care if it’s not forever now.

Now is all I think about
Now that I am happy
And I’m not sure
If there will be a future for us.

Now is all I offer
It’s everything I got
And I still wish
That there will be a tomorrow for us.

(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)
Ad Lib
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus except last word)
(Repeat Chorus)

Coda:
We love each other now…

lyrics from music and lyrics ph

procrastination can be bad for you and your guitar's health...

Today's a typically boring Sunday. I actually have a ton of chores to do like cleaning-up my room, fixing my closet, and buying some groceries, but it's raining heavily outside. (connection?, hold your horses, here it goes...)

This kind of weather just makes me want to lay around and slither ever so slowly around the house. Rainy days and sunny days have this effect on me. Which basically means I am always lazy! :)

Ever the great procrastinator, instead of starting today's task, I decided to do other "unlisted" things today. So basically everything I DON'T need to do, I opted to do... I'm just crazy like that.

After lunch, I ate a caramel bar at the slowest possible pace. The way I was nibbling it would make a mouse die of hunger (or impatience, which ever comes first). I also read a newspaper... LAST WEEK'S newspaper, at worst! And to seal the deal on how boring this day is, I watched *gasp* the History channel!

After watching "Lost Worlds: Herod the Great" on History Channel, I snapped out of my trance and realized that I just wasted a good few hours of my life. (But at least now I know that Herod has built the most lavish and most advanced bath houses known in ancient times... Now if only I can use this knowledge to rule over the world?!)

Still looking for useless things to do, I saw my guitar standing innocently in one corner. I decided that I should play around, and by play around I mean, make really annoying noises.

Everything sounded terrible, and thus only 2 possibilities:
1. The guitar is not tuned properly.
2. I suck.

As my big ego is keeping me warm from all of these cold and rainy weather, I decided that it's reason #1.

So reciting my "Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie" code over and over, I miserably attempted to tune my guitar.

"Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie" is the code I use to tune the strings of a guitar. Each letter corresponds to the note of each of the strings. E is for the top most, thickest string, A, the second, D, the third, and so on. I'm pretty sure there are more non-violent codes out there, but I am obviously sticking to this one! :)

As I was about to finish tuning the last "Eddie" string, I heard a very familiar sound... Oh shoots!!! I snapped the string?!?! (am I really that violent??)




Oh great... Now I have to find my spare strings and change the one I snapped. Now I have to do something I actually NEED to do! darn it!!!

After a few minutes of tossing stuff out of my closet and drawers, I finally found my spares:



After re-stringing, I tried playing again, but it was still horrendous, which, again, gives us 2 possibilities:
1. The other strings hate the new one.
2. I really suck.

I love myself too much to admit to #2, so here's what I think:



The other strings just hate the new one's guts.

So now I gonna have to re-string the whole damn thing! And oh, yeah, my room is still in disarray (especially, after searching for the spare strings) and now I'm hungry and I have nothing to eat since I haven't bought any groceries yet! And it's still pouring outside!

Lesson learned (aside from random facts about Herod) :
STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!
(OR stop tuning your guitar and admit that you suck :) )

Just a smile
by Barbie Almalbis

I wanna tell you everything, easily
Won't you come up closer
I want to, hear you breathe

I'm walking down the street
I'm lost at sea
But out of the crowd you smile
And you're all I see

You make me feel like I,
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile
Just a smile

I wanna meet you someday soon
'Cause I know you're in my mind
Everything will be different
When I have you right beside

You can take the whole wide world
With your charm
But even as you pull me close
I won't just stay in your arms

You make me feel like I,
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky,
When you save the day,
With just a smile

Well it's for you and everyone
I thought I've searched the world in vain
Now look at me
And the search is done
We will never be the same
Not the same.

You make me feel like I
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile

Oh you make me feel like I
Can get lost inside your eyes
I feel closer to the sky
When you save the day
With just a smile

Just a smile, a smile
Just a smile

funny how the simplest of gestures can make the whole day seem so much better... :)

lyrics from Lyred

test of patience?

well, the night is officially over...

*sigh*

Graaaabe....

I've never heard this song before until last night. Let me just say, ang galing ng pagkaka-kanta... Nanlambot talaga tuhod ko sa ganda. (either that, or it's yet another sign of old age! :) )

The lyrics is cheezy, sure... but hell, you should have heard the way it was sung!

After the song, I only managed to say one word: "Graaabe..." **sigh**


Make Me Whole

Darling I want you to listen
I stayed up all night, so I can get this thing right
And I don't think there's anything missing
Cause a person like you, made it easy to do
I've waited for so long, to sing to you this song

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

I think the angels are your brothers, yeah
They told you about me, said you're just what she needs
And I find myself thanking your mother
For giving birth to a saint
My spirit flies when I say your name
If there's one thing that's true
It's that I was born to love you

And your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

You make my dreams
Come true over and, over again
And I honestly truly believe
You and me are written in the stars
I live my whole life through
Just giving thanks to you

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

Graaaabe...

Yey! Monday na naman! :)

Yey! 1 hour na lang...
Monday na naman!

*believe it or not, this is actually NOT a sarcastic entry...
I am actually happy that it's Monday soon!

Happy Monday!

Sinful Sunday Meal : McDo Japanese-Style!

It's been a long time since I bought anything from McDonald's. Blame "Supersize Me" for that... hehehe...

But this morning I saw a TV ad for the new McDonald's Filet-o-Fish with Wasabi, plus Wasabi-flavored McShaker fries... OMG!!! Did they just say the magic word??? WASABI!!!

Given that I have only one meal of the week wherein I can eat anything I want without counting the amount of calories and fat, I decided to give-in to temptation and waste my "sinful sunday meal" card on McDonald's:

The tasty evil that is the Wasabi Filet-O-Fish meal w/ Wasabi McShaker fries

I LOVE WASABI! (me, and probably 5 other people around the world. Oh, yeah, and the Japanese too!) Probably the only reason why I love sushi so much is because I have a reason to eat Wasabi! (Crazy eh?)

Wasabi is the "kind of spicy" that doesn't stay in your mouth like chili. Once you put it in your mouth, it explodes! You feel the sensation all the way to your nostrils, and it may leave you with a few tears once in a while. But after that, it's as if nothing happened?!

So, like a little forgetful goldfish, you go ahead and have a taste again, thinking... "Hmmn... Have I tasted the Wasabi yet?" Then BAM! "Oh, THAT's the WASABI!" And then the cycle goes on and on until you run-out of Wasabi or your brain evaporates out of your ears. (whichever comes first!)

Yes, Wasabi... It's for the sadomasochist goldfish in each and every one of us...

Tabemasho!!!

Thank you...:)

Thank you

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last
and I'm soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Yes, we need money, but for the mean time, we need more bytes!

As a programmer, don't you just hate it when you declare a variable, thinking "who needs a double, when a float can suffice?!", only to be shocked by an unexpected (and hard to find) bug later?

Apparently, such nuisances are not just for programmers:
