from the geekette files

guess what? my upstairs neighbors are at it again! i had intended to read further on american psycho, but with them upstairs, forget it.

i might as well play too.

not with that, perv!

i've been meaning to free my action figures from their asahi beer carton box which has been their prison for over a year now. tonight's the best night i suppose.

what joy! the geekette awakens. harharhar.

i pretty much dumped everybody on the coffee table,





but i took pics of my top picks for tonight.

here's my all time favorite mutant wolverine.




and my all time favorite master of the macabre, edgar allan poe. lookit the raven on his shoulder--precious.




i figured i'd add morpheus to the mix so wolverine can get really pissed at these morose blokes.





if i am stranded on a desert island and i can hang out with any character, i figured these three would make my list. poe can tell me stories until our rescuers come. morpheus can pretty much take me to the dreaming. and wolverine can rip these two apart if they annoy me.

alright. enough already. something tells me the upstairs neighbors are done. no?

no thanks

dear upstairs neighbor/s,

you don't know me, and i don't know you yet. let's save ourselves the awkward moment of putting faces to voices.

i am glad that you have a healthy sex life. good for you. but please try to be considerate of other people who do not want to listen your unabashed lovemaking. i woke up to what i thought was an extended nightmare only to find that the thumping and grumping and moaning was coming from the ceiling. i was a bit relieved that i was not having a scary dream. but come on, 30 seconds of bed creaking and unsolicited sex noises is just as bad.

may i make a suggestion? please knock yourselves out in the living room. better yet, can you please play some music in the bedroom while you're having a go at it.
please. you don't have to share the love, really.


sincerely,

your downstairs neighbor

high school high

background music : i remember you by skid row

i heart UP Rural High School. this is one of the charms of coming from a small town. high school was a refuge for me as a teen. of course it did help that my school is the best in the region. we all pretty much ended up being well-adjusted and law-abiding adults.

the above picture is my senior homeroom, kalantas. our homeroom is detached from the rest of the other senior homerooms. our room was located at the back of the the canteen, right next to the hall of doom, the Aggie Shed.

we were a pretty tight bunch. despite most of us belonging to different cliques, we got along very well. our adviser, ms. bullecer, was the bomb. she arranged a very cool slumber-farewell party for the class. and we unslept in our homeroom pretty much bonding from dusk til dawn. we were really one big close-knit family.

of my "brothers" in kalantas, my favorite is rey val. he's that faggy looking dude sitting right next to our adviser. he is pretty much a mirror version of myself. talkative, opinionated, mercilessly funny,but a big softie. okay, he's funnier than i am. i can't pull his jokes in class. our geology teacher baptized him "Daldaquino" for his motormouth. rv is fondly called "plaps" by friends.

i lost touch with him in college because he's in the college of agricultural economics, and i was in the arts and sciences. every once in a while he will pop up and talk. but we mostly kept to our own little college lives. after college, i didn't see his much of him. his baby sister grace became my student, but that was pretty much it.

the last time i saw him was last year during my visit home.

zoom into 2007. i've been hunting him down because i know he's one of the most sensible people to talk to, because he knows me well and i know he would give me insights without crap. besides, i miss the humor of the dork. so lo and behold, with athenee's help, i got hold of his cell phone number and he got the surprise of his life.

and now, reconnected, we pretty much talk about our little lives, almost after 13 years. the dork is still funny. he's dating again which makes all of us happy.

he told me to tell you girls reading this blog that he is single, employed and available. you can email me so i can pimp him out. this is what he looks like now...




cheers plaps. you owe me a drink when i visit goodness knows when. but as we are both trying to be good adults, we will have to have coca-cola and chippy only. or anything without nicotine for me, and anything without alcohol for you.

(han) solo

background music : don't get it twisted by gwen stefani

part of this new life that i'm starting getting used to is doing things solo. the guy is right in saying that we've never been single since we were 15. i suppose being single at 31 is not so bad. as my dear friend plaps said, "we could be in our 40's fat, bald (for him) and deteriorating."

one of the things that i hate doing on my own is eating out. a table for one seemed so pathetic to me. i went to a joss stone concert in june, solo. that wasn't much fun. but there are also not so bad things to do on one's own : grocery shopping, book browsing, museum tours, foreign film watching and guitar playing at 3 am.


fun or not i'll just have to grin and bear it. there are lots of other things to hate than being alone.

i dare not start a hate list. i'll be up all night

quit

background music : rehab by amy winehouse


i am going to try an experiment that is long overdue. i will try to stop smoking. i've never been proud of this nasty habit. people who know me are shocked when they find out that i smoke, mainly because,they say, that i don't smell like a smoker.

and so i am staring at my lone pack of capri ultra lights menthol. i have 12 skinny sticks of ciggys. i hope that when they are gone, they are gone for good.

i am going to start saving the money that i spend on cigarettes and put it one a shoe fund. i'd figured this would be a good way to speed up the quitting.


jay, you have been an inspiration to a lot of us. count me in and i'll join the ex-smoker's club.

wish me luck.

damn, bring on the bubble gum.

pagwawakas

disclaimer : the following is not a funny post. hence, the language of choice. if you want to laugh. skip this post.

mapagbiro talaga ang tadhana. hindi naging maganda ang simula ng aking umaga. may nasabi akong hindi maganda sa aking kaibigan na kanyang ikinasama ng loob, at akala ko'y patapon na ang araw na ito. mabuti na lang at nahawi ng konti ang aking lungkot at lito dahil sa pagbisita sa cyberspace ng isa sa aking mga estudyante, na aking ikinagalak.

but wait, there's more. bandang alas dose tumawag sa akin si p at nakikisuyong hiramin si bruce para mapuntahan niya ang apartment na balak niyang lipatan. sinundo ko siya sa kabilang panig ng GWB at tumungo na kami sa lugar na iyon.

malamang nanibago siya sa aking timpla. walang luha, wala nang mga paghawak-hawak sa kamay at pisngi. nanatili ako kay bruce habang nakikipag-usap siya sa mga may-ari ng bahay.

umuwi na ako sa aking tirahan, at sumama siya sa loob. kinabahan ako ng konti dahil hindi ko alam kung saan hahantong ang pagkikitang ito.

himala kung sa himala, pero parang ihip ng sariwang hangin ang aming pakikitungo sa isa't-isa. akala mo'y hindi kami naging mag-asawa, minsan sa isang panahon.

hindi ko mawari kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip niya. may mga sandaling hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ganoon na lang ang kalma ng aking dibdib. kadalasan, madaling madaya ang aking puso sa tingin, haplos at ngiti ng taong ito. hindi na lumulukso ang aking puso -- wala nang lukso ng samu't-saring damdamin, wala nang lukso ng sakit, wala nang lukso ng pangungulila sa pag-ibig na nawala. walang hirit na nakakasakit. wala nang pagtaas ng kilay. ngiti lang. ngiti ng pang-unawa.

alam kong darating pa ang mga sandali sa hinaharap na kukurutin ng tadhana at alaala ang aking puso, pero ang pagdaan ng bawat araw ay patungo sa pagsasara at paghilom ng pusong nasugatan. at balang araw, ang tibok nito'y magiging maliksi muli.

paalam sa unang pagkakataon.

another caffeinated morning

Bwahahahahahahahha!!



okay, i guess those buggers in high school had a claim when they teased me whoopi goldberg, now that this celebrity collage even has oprah as a strong look-alike. hahaha. but rupert grint?! wow, always had a crush on ron. no wonder!
