i had a funny dream last night... i was watching a porno movie and my good buddy jodinand was on it... first part was a solo act by himself (dun worry jodee, you were well-endowed in the movie!)... but what the hell were you doing on top of the toilet bowl man?! it was a very short scene though... the next scene was two queenie guys kissing and bitching loudly about something... again it was only a short scene... it was supposedly a porno flick directly by jodee himself... i think it's because i read jodee's blog right before i went to bed and there is a photo of him with chains and handcuffs on the site... and somehow infected my dreams... well it's better than my usual ghost nightmares i tell ya! i was giggling when i woke up... encore tonight? oh please no... i think i've seen enough!
10:23 PM
patrick looted so much treats... hehe... my teeth are starting to hurt... he was superman... he looked really weird because he had this big muscular body costume while the rest of his body was so tiny... i didn't say anything because if i did he might not wear it...
my 16 year old sister and her friends also did trick-or-treating.. nuts... i couldn't figure who she was suppose to be... she was a crossbreed between a cat, a panther and zorro... oh well... it didn't matter... her loot was the only thing that counts ^_^ ...
i was suppose to wear this piggy hat at work but i said forget it... i wore all black instead which i usually do anyway every tuesday... doh...
i just hung up with this guy who sounded so gay on the phone... you know what his first line was?... "ah hello, you've probably given up on me already..."... er... so i asked him who he was (i really wanted to ask who the f*&*^ he was but i was a nice boy)... i found out he got the wrong number... the call made me somewhat nervous... i tried to remember quick when the last time i was drunk, where i slept, and who i gave out my number to.. pheeew!
oh yeah, happy halloween...

8:46 PM
girls are weird... cool site! i think guys are weirdER... i dunno... i remember when i was in grade school and high school that most of my friends were girls... i'm much more comfortable around them i guess... okay... this is the third person who worship the movie dancer in the dark so now i gotta watch it... what she said was very convincing.. she quotes:
i saw dancer in the dark last night. as soon as i got home, i typed away a review for my zine while it was still fresh in my mind. it was the best movie i've seen in theaters this year. it was a tearjerker...had me crying like a baby. bjork was amazing in it and if you haven't seen it yet, go. even if you have to drive two hours to see it like tony. (it's playing in select theaters so it might be hard to find. if i knew where it was playing earlier, i would've seen it the night it came out).

11:54 AM
some sites don't even have a guestbook... argh... so that means i have to send an e-mail... which means that i have to open my outlook express and wait one minute to open it up completely... i'm ready to smash my ancient computer... but i can't yet, i need a replacement... oops, i think mr. flower heard me.

I learned something interesting today. I am 1/16 Chinese. Well, it's almost negligible but it's interesting to know that. My mom never told me her great-great-grand mother is pure Chinese. I woke up today and just out of the blue I asked her whether we have Chinese blood and then she started talking about her mother's Chinese uncle named Sumpiak Lee where she lived when she was very young. My mom's parents were very poor at that time and so her rich uncle took her to live with them. I asked my mom because I remembered my mom's mother side of the family do not look like pure Filipinos and my Mom and two of my siblings' skins are fair. This also explains why my mom and her family wore white at her mother's funeral which is a Chinese tradition. I should do some more research about my family roots... who knows, I might be the descendant of Rajah Soliman, last king of Manila, and be his rightful heir to the throne... LOL! then maybe I should seize power... but first, get rid of corrupt President Estrada... hehe.

I had a nightmare again last night. A bad spirit was trying to get into my body. I was lying on my bed praying and reciting Our Father and Hail Mary over and over again.. my parents and siblings were there too.. their hands on my body and reciting the prayers with me... we lost... the bad spirit went into my body... I felt a cold pressure on my back... that's when I woke up shouting... My dad was pounding my locked door... I told him what happened... Weird, huh? I always have a rosary under my pillow but I lost it a few days ago.. I get really frightening nightmares involving a ghost in my room that's why I always have it. I better find it.
I should think happy thoughts before I sleep tonight... There, something scary for the Hallowe'en ^_^
12:34 AM
We ran out of coffee this time but we had tons of coffee filters... what the... My brother was going to the store... quick! he was just pulling off the driveway! So I ran to the door, waved my two arms and yelled at my brother... I hope I didn't wake anybody up... I got his attention... I asked him get coffee... He came back and what did he get? Coffee, yay!... but hey, something's wrong... label says decaffeinated... Argh! Coffee is not coffee without caffeine! So yeah, I had decaf instead... I'm dozing. From now on, I'll check our cupboard everyday to check our supply of coffee. I'm the only one here at home who seem to care.
12:20 AM
wednesday, october 25, 2001
I just had an interesting chat with Chimu-san... we talked about a lot of things: his homosexual sumo wrestler roommate named Charlene; Pikachu being a queenie male... er... animal; me stealing my brother's talking Pikachu and bringing it in my room and play with it; proposal to stalk each other; Japanese... and other nerdy stuff [^_^] I should sleep now. I'm tired.
10:57 PM
When my path is bright you walk with me
When my path is dark you are my guide
When I'm with you I'm full of glee
I pray that you're always be by my side.
Happy birthday to you my dearest friend
Happiness, love and wisdom I hope you'll find.
Okay Daniel... it was kinda cheesy but that was my best shot in writing poems... Hey, I really meant it! ^_^

Hey you! Yeah, you! Everytime I read your blog I have to Edit > Select All to highlight the texts... It's so hard to read! Please don't torture me! I will die without reading your blog! He he he... ^_^ It's okay, don't worry about me... I'm just a silly-whiner today...
11:36 PM
I have 40 minutes to read other people's blogs. So I was happy singing a song while preparing the coffee brewer for a cup of coffee... opened up the cupboard and guess what I found out - no coffee filters, again! I was furious. After so much nagging, my brother finally went out to buy a new pack. I hate it when that happens. So I just finished my cup of coffee for the night... it's gonna be fun trying to sleep tonight.
11:27 PM
Sometimes the truth is hard to accept especially finding it out after you've clinged to something so tight that it's hard to let go of it. Sometimes we wish we've known the truth from the beginning and not subject ourselves to mind torture, heartaches, and dead-end hopes -- blinded. I guess we just have to view it as a good lesson in life. In a way it was a good thing because I've learned something new.. something good. Move on, bururotasu, move on -- shitsuren. Life is full of drama and it sucks.

small japanese notebook, I have been reading this blog for a while now but I didn't really get the chance to add it amongst my favourite lists which was awfully rude of me, considering the author of this blog put mine in his. I'm so sorry ^.^ I like this blog because it's spontaneous... it's like reading the mind of the author... The guy's only fifteen so I even praise him more.
I also have a small notebook I carry with me everyday... but it's for reminders. You can tell I can't afford a nice digital organizer, eh? He he he. I want a Palm Pilot! I call my notebook small English notebook of reminders... Hmm... now I realize I write all my reminders in English and why not in Filipino? Actually, all Filipinos do that. Strange. Well, reminders in Filipino would look strange in your organizer or notebook. This is how my reminders for tomorrow would look like in Filipino:
- Kumuha ka ng income tax return para sa 1999. Ang tamad-tamad mo talaga!
- Bumili ka ng solusyon sa kontak lens.
- Kunin mo ang mga litrato. Isang buwan na hindi mo pakinukuha!
You have to be a Filipino speaker to understand my point.
8:15 PM
My featured song > Ikaw Pa Rin - by Ted Ito, Call me bakya but I really like this song ^_^ (bakya means corny in Filipino... somebody correct me if I'm wrong). This is one of the Filipino versions of Saigono iiwake. The title means still you in English. This was the most popular version in Manila in 1990 and this was the first version I heard and liked. Ted Ito, the singer, is Japanese but sings in both Filipino and Japanese (I can see why he picked to sing in Filipino... Filipino and Japanese are both syllabary and the syllables sound alike in the two languages... this is my area of personal research which I will discuss once I'm finished... hehe.. the geek in me... ^_^). Click on the play button on your right to hear the song. Click here for the lyrics. Enjoy.

I'm eating peanuts as I type this. I'm only typing with one hand... the other picking peanuts.

What a busy weekend! D's 22nd birthday. I was the official coordinator of the event ^_^. It went really fine and so I'm proud of myself. He he he. I smell my own vanity.
First in the programme was a Japanese dinner at a restaurant called Fune, downtown Toronto. Food was amazing! I had hamachi (yellowtail), ikura (salmon roe) and tempura dinner... eating raw food is fun! The server was cute. We confused her a lot but she still maintained her cute smile. Fourteen people came and that includes Jerwin and Jeff. Food was a bit expensive but it was definitely worth it.
Next, we hung out a bit at a bar called Panorama... at the 51st floor of a building. You could see Toronto from there. It was amazing. We didn't stay there long because we didn't have a table. I didn't realize we had to book way ahead for a table. It was my first time there.
... next stop, karaoke! We're mostly Asians so, yeah... it's an Asian thingy. We sang our ass off while some gulped cans of beer... I only had two and a glass of liquor earlier so I wasn't drunk otherwise I'd make a fool of myself again.. hehe.
... then Daniel wanted to go check out a, er, a *bar*... we went in and then left after about five minutes I think. hehe..
Finally, we all went to Chris & Andrew's place, had some pizza and wine, and truth or dare. I missed this couple. I haven't hung out with them for a long time. I'm glad they were there with us last night.
... definitely an unforgettable moment... Daniel's happy so I'm happy. I'm beginning to like being a birthday coordinator (gee, what a title!). Somebody's birthday is coming up... I should apply for that one ^_^

I didn't blog much yesterday... well, I don't blog much really... so I'm blogging from work... I'm starting in 10 minutes. I should do this quickly. I didn't get enough sleep yesterday. *Somebody* kept me up (you know who you are.. why you!).. hehe.. just joking... I don't want to hurt people's feelings... I hope I don't fall asleep at work... I hope phone problems at work is fixed.. it should be... they had all day yesterday to have it fixed.... I wasn't stressed at all... Well, I gotta get back to work...

I faxed a letter of complaint to Rogers AT&T Wireless about the problems I'm having with my cell phone Tuesday night. My cell calls me if I have voice message and my no answer transfer is not working. Wednesday's past no call back, no results. I swore I'm not gonna be on hold on the phone to get a customer service agent for half an hour that's why I faxed my complaint instead. I've done it for three days. I'm fed up. Crappy. Argh!

Katakataka is not a plant that closes its leaves when touched. I was talking about makahiya. Gee, thanks Mina for bringing that to my attention. I should be more careful with my Filipino.

Nothing much to report today except that I was busy organizing a friend's birthday... called up people and talked to their nice, friendly voice mails. I managed to get a hold of a few real people though.
Well, Bururotasu needs to get some sleep. Good night.
11:39 PM
Katakataka - Filipino word for mysterious, mind-boggling and also a plant that closes its leaves by touch, can be used as a tongue-twister. Kata...katakata... takakatta... takataka... dope!

Well, I decided to change my fonts back to size 2... I put myself into the shoes of my loyal readers and I realized that - small fonts make my blog look longer and therefore make it a lot more boring, and that small fonts make readers squint their eyes and may potentially give them eye problems.
I just came back from Misyel's birthday celebration... actually it was a double celebration because it was Jen's, Misyel's friend, birthday too. Birthday dinner was held at Alice Fazooli's Italian Crabshack downtown Toronto and the dinner was great... Mis‾‾‾‾‾'s close friends were all there. I was thinking of having grilled alligator but when the waitress approached me I immediately changed my mind. I was just watching a documentary on the Discovery channel earlier that afternoon... yukkk... maybe I'll try next time when my tounge is more adventurous. I had an Asiago chicken instead. I didn't know Asiago is a type of cheese... I thought it was some kind of Asian-prepared chicken dish - ASIAgo, get it? It was good. Then we headed to Misyel's place to hang-out and had some mudslide and cake, and played a game called Outburst which was fun.
It was a great night. I really enjoyed it.
Well I must go to bed now... I have to work three hours tomorrow at our new building to arrange our workstations and make sure everything is in order by Monday.

Look M, it's you! Do you remember this picture? I think this was taken on my 17th birthday party... er... eight years ago, yikes! I love that cute smile you always have... and look at me, I was such a nerd... I didn't even recognize myself! Anyway, I hope your birthday wish for this year comes true... See ya tonite! ^_^

I was just looking back at my old photos and I noticed one thing on all the ones with me, drunk - I tend to get very squishy... hmmm....
Okay... I made the fonts on my blog smaller... really small... let me know if you don't like it. I had to squint my eyes to read it for a while. It's a thing nowadays - very small verdana fonts.
I reactivated my cell phone today. I wanted a personalized number spelling ‾-‾-‾-‾ as the last four digits but unfortunately somebody's taken it already... the best they could do is to change the first number to "6" so, I ended up with a cellular no. ending with M-‾-‾-Y. Nice. It's still easy to remember. What's your cell number? Oh, yeah, 555-M‾‾Y!... note the first three numbers are fictitious for my security... ^_^ I'm such an insecured person. The visual voice message indicator for some reason is not working... instead when I have a new voice message I get an analog-ish call from a computer saying I have new messages and if you don't answer it it's gonna ring forever.. argh! I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a tech support guy but couldn't figure out what was wrong... at the end, he resent my "stuff" to "the network" and asked me if there is still a problem to call the next day because they were closing... I shouldn't have told him that I also work in a call centre.. he knew I wouldn't be mad because I told him how it felt like working in a call centre environment...
I learned a good lesson today - never throw food, especially awful smelling food, at your workstation garbage can... I emptied the can to the one in our kitchen but the smell still lingered. I was nauseated the rest of the afternoon... The food was great though... The company is moving to a new state-of-the-art building in the far northeastern corner of Mississauga and they have really strict rules - never eat at your desk (well I usually don't except today... we all ordered out that's why I did), there are three bins at each workstation: recycle bin for paper, recycle bin for bottles & cans, and garbage for all others... I can't wait to see this new place. It's gonna be very boring though. It's in the middle of nowhere, no malls (a huge mall is facing my current building), at least 45 minutes bus trip as opposed to 10 right now... That's why I reactivated my phone for emergency purposes, in case I get kidnapped, get lost, or something... I heard the new building is close to a forest where deer still graze. Sheez...

Magmula nang tayo ay nagkalayo ang puso'y umiibig pa rin. Nalulumbay sa t'wing maaalala ang lumipas natin. Ang mga mata ko'y laging may luha. Hindi kaya mayro'n ka ng iba? Sabihin mo na 'ko, ako pa rin ang iniibig mo. Kailanman ikaw lamang ang aking mahal. Kailanman ang tangi kong pinagdarasal. Minsan 'pagka may mayakap ka patutunayan na mahal kita. Kahit na sa'n ka man naroroon nais ko na iyong malaman. Hinding-hindi kita magagawa na aking kalimutan. Ang lahat sa ating pinagdaan ay turing kong tanging kayamanan. Wala nang higit pa sa ating ginintuang pag-ibig. Kailanman...

11:55 PM
Must try to sleep early... well, early for me is 12:00 AM. For the past few days I've only been getting 5 hours sleep. I'm like a walking zombie at work. Bad.
11:50 PM
My mood swings have been pretty bad lately. One moment, I'm so happy I jump, I giggle, I sing... one moment, I'll be quiet... one moment I feel like I want to burst into tears.... and the change happened too quick. Where are my pills? Ha ha ha.
Anyway, I discovered this beautiful Filipino song by Jocelyn Enriquez and guess what? It's another version of Saigono iiwake! The song title is Kailanman which translates Forever in Filipino... thanks to my source, my fellow digitalrice Jodinand. Click here to listen to the RealAudio version of the entire song courtesy of Jodinand (visit his awesome site at jodinand.digitalrice.com) who was very kind to allow me to link the file from his server. I fell in love with the song instantly! When I listened to the words, I thought I was listening to my current dilemma (Daniel's favourite word)! Jocelyn Enriquez by the way is a popular Filipino-American artist... she was one of the Stars of 54 artists, there are three of them, right? They did the song If You Could Read My Mind, the theme song for the movie 54. I love her now. What a gorgeous beautiful voice!
I've been busy lately with my Japanese. Within two days I memorized all Hiragana and Katakana characters... I'm so proud of myself ^_^. After that I went crazy reading websites in Japanese and anything I find at home with Japanese writing on it to practise. I'm such a nerd. It wasn't hard, really... Next, Kanji, the toughest...
... see, when you're inspired, anything is possible...

I hate this computer.
11:44 PM
monday, october 9, 2001
I got a complaint from my high school friend who is now in Kuwait that this page and the others (I assume the themes section which I recently changed to Ear Candies) do not load at all in his friend's computer. His computer is probably not powerful enough to load multimedia sites... or perhaps do not have RealAudio plug-in installed. My computer is old and crappy but I have no problems loading the pages... but because I'm nice and considerate ^_^ I decided to remove the embedded RealAudio code and changed it to the pop-out ones. I think the embedded RealAudio code is the cause of the problem... or maybe my pages do not load well using Netscape? I've never tried using Netscape to view my pages. There you go John.. just for you... Let me know if you're still having a problem.

Have I mentioned how I love this site? If I haven't, well I love it. If I have already, I say I love it another time. There's something dark and mysterious yet sensual about this site. If you like animes, mangas, Tori Amos and Final Fantasy, yeah, you should talk to the guy behind this site. Very original and there's a lot to play with while you're there. It's a got an awesome and quite funny survey that I like... I hate surveys but I really like the ones there. It also features both serious and silly haikus ^_^ Oh and the title Loveless, I totally connect to it. I'm gonna grow old lonely. Oh God help me.

I am so mad at this computer I want to smash it into small pieces... It's been doing it again - turning off by itself... argh! I hate you Mr. Flower! Why are you doing this to me? I need you. I can't live without you. Please don't do this to me. ^_^ ... err, I'm still talking about my computer, okay?
4:01 PM
I have added a new feature for the site - Site Theme Songs for Today. So far there's only two. It basically lists all the songs that I really like and make them the background music of the site.
Today the project features the Voltes V Theme Song remixed by Fatboy Slim. Voltes V has always been my favourite super robot anime since I was a kid. It is very popular among Filipinos... there is no single Filipino who doesn't know Voltes V. It came out around early 80's. I remember my Mom & Dad bringing me (I was only 6 then) and my brother to the theatre to watch Voltes V... that must have been the first time it came out because after that it became a television series. This is a remix by Fatboy Slim. I never thought Fatboy Slim would know this song. He must have some Filipino friends! Actually, I think these Japanese super robots are also popular among Europeans and Latin Americans... I've seen sites coming from those places too. So, to listen to it, click the play button on the right.
1:55 PM
Hold on right there. I can't please everybody. I'm not God.

I saw Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro this afternoon with Daniel and wow, I really liked it. Phil was suppose to come with us but unfortunately he couldn't make it. There's a Japanese anime film festival going on right now here in Toronto so I just thought I'd check it out. It was the first time I saw this manga. It was very funny and believe it or not there were some scenes that put some tears in my eyes... argh... corny... It's an old manga (1985) but I'm still impressed at its quality... American animation is nothing compared to the quality, richness and originality of the Japanese ones.
Okay, I gotta start freeing up some hard drive space... I need it to convert my new MP3 file to RealAudio.

I found out my permalinks weren't working when I was going to blog myself. How sad was I?
1:01 PM
Kewlness... I'm downloading Voltes V soundtrack Fatboy Slim remix ^_^ Yes it's MP3! I keep checking Mr. Flower's harddrive space and it's currently at 22 MB space available... you can do it Mr. Flower, you can do it!
12:25 PM
... or perhaps I'm just overreacting... Why is life so complicated? It's a challenge.. it's a challenge... Face it... Be strong...... that kinda helps. Thank you my strong-willed ego.
12:15 PM
I must divert my thoughts to something else. For the past few weeks my mind has always been thinking of one thing. The thing that I want to accomplish... and highly unlikely to be accomplished. It's like a dead end. Why am I putting myself into this self-torture? It's eating me alive! I want to know one thing - yes or no. Somehow both yes and no answers are good enough to put my thoughts at ease. Maybe I should go far far away...

It's Thanksgiving long weekend in Canada. Mom as usual brought turkey from work and gave it to my aunt who lives two houses away from us. Her company gives away these huge turkeys to all employees every Thanksgiving and Christmas. My aunt prepares and cooks the turkey every year. Her house has always been the Thanksgiving venue for my big extended family. It's not really a very important day for me. I sometimes laugh at it every time I remember what Wednesday Addams and her brother did on stage for their school play to commemorate it. He he he. Sorry, that was not nice.
Pun aside, I guess I (and my family) regard Thanksgiving as a way of thanking God for bringing us to the New World and live a peaceful life.

phone job, more neat filipino sites, mindanao.
i haven't been blogging very much lately... too busy right now... i'm also getting behind, again, replying to my e-mails... i managed to make some phone calls to my friends last night which i rarely do (i know.. i'm very bad)... not because i don't want to talk to them but because i want to get a break from talking on the phone (i work in a call centre)... sometimes i don't even talk at home... nah, i was just kidding about the last part... but no, i should talk to my friends on the phone more often... the ability to e-mail doesn't make it any better... i tend to e-mail instead but this is too impersonal...
i hate long hold time on the phone... my rule is: if it's available online, drop the phone and do it online...if you have a question, research it yourself first and if you still can't get an answer, then call... i wish i could tell this to my clients if they complain about the long hold time to get me... of course, i can't do that.
i found two pretty neat sites today: www.asheee.com and naivemans_worldrenaissance...the rebirth of enigmans_world (now, can that be any longer? hehe)... what's interesting is that they're brother and sister from the island of moslem mindanao, philippines. i've only met one moslem filipino in my entire life... i worked with him for a good two years... very nice and funny guy... i always wanted to visit mindanao inspite of the political & religious conflicts going on there...i wish i could've done it when i was living in the philippines. i'm really interested to know the
different lifestyles and customs of moslem filipinos (also known as moros) ... i lived in the predominantly christian (catholic) part of the philippines and i've never been around with any moslem filipino... all my filipino friends here in canada are catholics... there was only one mosque in manila where i lived... i remember visiting it in one of our school fieldtrips...
yikes! it's 2:57 am... good night...

so I'm now officially a digitalrice (or sticky digitalrice ;-).
Digitalrice.com offers free site hosting and i actually kinda like it.. and there's no catch! i also love the new address: bluelotus.digitalrice.com.... and with that i also get a free e-mail account... where can you get this kind of deal?! i learned this from my fellow digitalrice brother jodinand who by the way helped me a lot setting up the move to the new site (thanks again man!).
i finally bought some nice pc speakers today... my old speakers broke like a year ago i think and i never replaced them... mr. flower (my loyal computer) is too old and weak anyway to play the newest multimedia stuff... so i have to be very careful not to run so many programs at the same time, esp. with mp3's running, or mr. flower would collapse... he used to be the king of multimedia computers back in, er, 1995. it's nice to hear sounds again from my computer.
now i need to get some sleep.

I'm sorry I've hurt you... and I feel terribly bad...
Thanks for being a part of my life. You will always have a special place right here in my heart... I will always cherish the great times we had together.
No farewells... no, none... We will not part.
