Blog Fevah!

I have finally succumbed to the blog fevah which continues to infect geeks and mostly non-geeks alike. I could've made one years ago, but I am just to lazy and I don't wanna fall into this fad. As always, I do fall into these fads!


It's not a bad idea to have a blogsite. Rather than pour out my weird thoughts through mailing lists and forums which could cause arguments, controversy, or something worse like kicking me out of their community, this unmoderated blog is my ultimate haven in expressing myself (whether I'm horny or not, LOL!)


Not much a good writer here, so I hope you can bear what you read.

Pretty Addicting

I'm beginning to be addicted by this blog thing. I was thinking of watching a movie after lunch time but I figured that I'd rather go home and fix my blog. And I made sure to go home faster than usual so I can edit my blog immediately.


Trying to work on the color combination of my new "home". It was based on my homepage which I attempted to make 2 years ago, but never had the time to finish it. I don't think I will.


Anyway, I think I'll go to bed for now. I'll continue to fix my blogsite tonight at the office.

Improving

My "home" is still under construction but can already be visited. I've improved the colors of the blogsite, looks good enough for me. I liked the idea of red, black, and gray and as I've mentioned in my previous log, the colors of this blogsite will be based on the unfinished website I made 2 years ago. The picture was changed too. I know I like the picture of me wearing barong but I have to replace it with something else. (thanks to Nao, my officemate for taking that picture) Damn I look fat!  


Links are already available. The websites listed are my favorite hangouts. Airfagev tops the list. It's a website about Microsoft Smartphones (like the Smart Amazing Phone) and everyone in that community help each other regarding their smartphone problems. They made me Moderator becuse I can be seen there 24 hours a day! Pinoy Windows Mobile, the latest community I've joined is also part of my links. The site's functionalities are running one by one, but the new password they gave me for my logon doesn't work at all.


ppcsurfr, a.k.a. Carlo Ma. Guerrero, has a personal website which features the latest gadgets and events about technology. I'm glad to meet this guy - he reminded me of my close friend since grade school. I'm really hoping that he can help me get a Smart Amazing Phone 2 (a.k.a. HTC Voyager or Orange E200 in other European countries) with a good deal.


With her permissoin, the blog site of my officemate Sheryl (twentysomething) is also included in the link for fellow bloggers. I made fun of the link for a moment, either describing her as a Linux Girl or a disciple of the great Sacha Chua.   If somebody is reading this log (nobody knows much about this blog anyway), I don't want to explain further the meaning of the joke. It's just an inside joke between us.


I think I have to sleep early for now.

Can't I Just Go to Bed and Sleep?

I guess not. <sigh> I was supposed to be sleeping hours ago, but I had other things to attend to and while doing an errand something would pop up in my mind an remind me that I forgot to do something else <sigh>. It's quarter to twelve noon. I really have to be sleeping right now...


Spoke to my girlfriend several minutes ago. As usual, her mood changed when we talked about her younger sister. All she did was raise her voice at me. I had no choice, she needs to express her anger and as usual I'm the shock absorber. I also get stressed for taking responsibility on most of her sister's needs. I feel like a father already to her because I give her daily dose of sermons everyday. I have to, or else she will not listen if I'm not strict. My girlfriend has just sent me a text message, apologizing. I understand why she's like that, even if it affects me in a way.


So many thoughts in my mind I would like to unload here, but maybe it would be wiser to save my energy and rest.

String of Bad Lucks

Last week I realized that I have a new credit card which was eventually misplaced by our company's receptionist. 2 days later, someone took advantage of me doing a demo of a mobile smartphone and discreetly stole mine.


Yesterday, my car got towed by those money-hungry tow trucks of the Makati City government. I didn't react when I found out my car is not where I left it several minutes earlier. Blame my stupidity. I knew I shouldn't have parked there but I was in a hurry to meet a friend. Off I went to the impounding area and paid 1,000 bucks. Fuck! I'm trying very hard to save money and I just gave away 1,000 fuckin' bucks? As if I have a choice so I paid for it.


I already had the feeling that another bad luck would happen. Met up with another friend in Megamall because we're going to give another friend a present. When we were about to leave, the car moved a few meters and then... it stopped. Started it again... seconds later it stopped. A couple of cool dudes approached us and offered to push the car to jumpstart it. They pushed, the engine still wouldn't start. I realized that I don't have gas anymore.


AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the fucking hell is happening with me?!? How come I'm being played on last night?!?


I walked all the way to Caltex (it's not that far, but it took quite a while to walk) to buy gasoline, then went back to my car. This is the second time that this situation happened to me. Come to think of it, it happened on the same car, on the same month 4 years ago.


What a day! <sigh!>

Things that made me depressed today

1. One of our cars was sold today to an american and his pinay wife. It's a Nissan Sentra and it became my favorite car, simply because nobody is using it! Reason for this is our employees (of our family business) keep on having accidents with this car. Since the insurance of the car is already gasgas, my dad prohibited this car to be used by any of our employees, unless they have to go somewhere important. It happened to be the only car which I have a key. I believe they sold this car because it consumes a lot of gas! It's not practical to keep this kind of car especially the prices of fuel have gone up. Plus, the resale value of Nissan cars are low. They've already signed the papers couple of hours ago. I didn't bother looking at the car for the last time. That's how I am I guess, not looking at a thing or a person before they fade away, no matter how special they are to me.


2. Girlfriend and I argued big time again. No need to explain. We just argue the same stuff over and over again. Still, it made me depressed.

Smashed!

For the first time after several years of drinking....


I became totally smashed!!!


Had only one hour of sleep yesterday and from my experience if I drink beer with that kind of sleep it would make me easily conk out. But beer kept pouring on my mug last night and for some reason, I didn't fell sleepy at all. I was hyper the whole night, and I haven't been this hyper with a mug of pale pilsen! I'm still wondering up to now if I did something crazy or not. I remember giving a speech but I couldn't recall a word of it. What the hell, I'm trying to enjoy myself because I've been in hellish situations for the past couple of weeks, and I just want to forget them all for at least one night.


Went to starbucks afterwards but I was too lazy to order coffee or tea to freshen me up. And then I found a vacant couch. Looks inviting. I sat on it, and there I fell asleep...
