happy birthday to my father!!! love you...:)

we had a celebration yesterday. so much fun!!

little wing

my new background music is something i had kaycee send to me. it's called little wing by jimi hendrix. i first heard of it in the corrs dvd and liked it. i would have placed the corrs version but the only free download available is of jimi hendrix. nice guitar.

little wing by jimi hendrix

Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind...

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me, free
It's alright, it's alright' she says
Take anything you want from me
Anything


and as always, the song is embedded. to make it stop, click on the stop button or press on the escape key on the keyboard.

i have a new item on the sidebar too.. the hangman. lol.

fire dog and shaping destiny

because i am born in the year of the Ox, i will be unlucky this year. the feng shui master on TV said that my sign isn't compatible with the fire dog that rules this year. what i will have to do to counter bad luck he said is to keep a rabbit or dog figurine in the house. i'm not sure where he said dog or rabbit..lol.
now dogs, i have. live ones and stuffed ones. but rabbits...i mean, rabbits are cute sometimes but i don't really fancy them too much. when i look at stuffed rabbits i get the feeling that they're possessed or something lol. they tend to morph in my mind into something scary..like chuckie, the chaka doll! lol.
anyway, i think dogs are enough to secure my good fortune hehe. i hope our female dogs would get preggy and give birth. then my fortune would be multiplied by the number of live births the bitches will bring forth to the world. lol.
anything that has to do with fire will be successful this year. i wonder if the fire burning in my eyes would be any success lol. the fire in my heart and in my soul too!! i think i'm gonna set myself ablazing if this goes on! lol.
all doors must stay open before the clock strikes 12am of the chinese new year to let good fortune flow inside the house. wind chimes should adorn entryways and chinese coins be placed in strategic places. this is all the insurance one needs.lol (so maybe it's time to pull out your insurance money, the companies are going to the dogs anyway. lol)
i can always count on my mother to obey the practices of the popular belief. she doesn't fully believe in all of it though. how can belief be more true?
if i dont get lucky this year then i guess im unlucky. lol.

turtlepace is back, slower than ever. :)

noli me tangere

to fight alone against the world is not courage but foolhardiness. no one blames a pilot who takes refuge in a port when the storm begins to blow. it's not cowardice to dock under a bullet; what is wrong is to defy it only to fall and never rise again.

-pilosopong tasyo


i went to see another art exhibit at SM and shook hands with the artist!!! who knows, he could be famous in the future if he is not now and i can tell my friends that i shook hands with him. lolz he's name was cesar velez.. and i like his abstract works too. lol

so where was i? lolz i have 'let's get it on' in the background "whoo whoo let's get it on..whoo whoo" lol

so the first round gave me less confidence and thought that manny's chances of winning may have waned big time. but...ahhhh my neighbor is here again!!!! asssussshhh..... next time again...kapoia baya ani oi...

knocked out

i watched the much awaited pacquiao-morales rematch when it was realized, at last, on sunday, with my father, uncle and my big bolay-og cousin (lol to the description, im being cruel). anyway, we had a delayed telecast of the fight, despite the little caption on the upper right corner of the TV screen saying 'live via satellite', due to the overflowing of TV ads mostly of products endorsed by manny pacquiao himself. we tuned in early, starting at about 9 in the morning until the end of the fight at about 3 in the afternoon and even stayed unblinking in front of the TV monitor for the analysis and follow up reports after the fight. but we certainly got the satisfaction we wanted. i felt an unsurmountable satisfaction and a feeling of deep pride for the Filipino people not only with undeniable fact of manny having beaten morales with no less than a technical knock out but more of the show of unwavering support of Filipinos, not only here but also abroad, to manny p. who is now being heralded as a nation's hero and the greatest boxer in his generation. no doubt about that.
why am i taking part in the TV brawl that is mostly what men consume in their idle time?(they consider it quality time though) i dont know. oh well.
heyy im not done with this yet. but i have to go cook rice. it's all about the rice. hmmmn maybe manny got all that strength and endurance from rice. an asian's bestfriend lol. ciao for now.. be back..la la la

random thoughts

on friday i went to "devotee city" as volunteer for the "feeding program". a place where the supposed devotees of Señor Santo Niño who hail from different provinces (mindanao, bohol, some parts in luzon) were to be welcomed and housed in container vans in the devotee city as these people dont have any place to stay in cebu. im not sure but i dont think that those people, with ids hanging from their necks, were real devotees. heard a rumor that they were actually the homeless people of cebu city and it's neighboring provinces. how ruthless politics can be. how disheartening. the city cleared out the homeless, out of place people and paved the way for the tourists coming in to see the Sinulog. of course the city wants to project a positive impact on its foreign visitors but when i think about how the people behind the plan went in front of the media and covered the truth and the real intent of putting up a "tent city", a maddening thought, makes me sick to my stomach. i went around for a while in the made up little city and saw before my eyes harsh realities faced by the majority of the people in this hungry nation. it's sad.

since my early years of education, ive only learned of humans living in one world, this planet, earth. well of course. i grew in age and learned new things as people never stop learning and discovered along the way the notion of a third world. i've not heard of a second world though, is there a second world? i learned too that i belong to this third world. hmmm.. i wonder what makes for a third world, a second world, or a first world. i wonder if a fourth or fifth or sixth world is in the making. anyway, so i have this dream. i dream of a society that is free from political, social, economic, religious, cultural (and in all aspects) divisions. i dream of a communal society of people living towards a common purpose. the purpose is to create one world. of course im being too idealistic. well i can dream cant i? but gotta work on it soon... i may be one person but at least im doing what i can. the best way is probably to infect the heart aflaming for social change to as many people as possible hehe

im not selfish. i have to help myself before i start helping others. well you can't give what you dont have. im tired of seeing the same things over and over. each 'new' day is a flawless reproduction of the day before.

all hyped up...the best words to describe what used to be a genuine exhibition of faith and religious fervor each year in the month of january.

and mahjong is an addictive game usually played by unpredictable personalities.

oh where oh where could my baby be?

i feel slumped today. i can't figure out what i did to deserve this depressing feeling. i know there are other more important issues in life that are worthy of contemplation but i just can't disregard this tiny irritating glitch i am faced with. lol i dont have a lovelife. im depressed coz im a loser.
everywhere i look, i see couples together. sometimes i see some of the oddest pairs in this world and yet they're so happy together. why oh why dont i have a pair? what's wrong with me? i dont look bad in fact i think im pretty. lol im not conceited. im not boasting or anything but why Lord? lol
one time i saw some guy playing with his girlfriend's hair. i thought i'd die of envy. why cant i be happy like other people? im not that bad. im kind and i try to obey rules too. what must id do to have someone special and be loved by him? oh and even worse,valentine's day is approaching. this is so stupid. i shouldn't worry about things like this but i worry about things like this. lol why Lord why? why me? ahhh!!! =(
where are you the man for me? why aren't you looking for me? when i see you, i'm gonna tell you how much i hate you for your inaction. grrrrr!!!!
