Super Size Me [Saturday, September 4, 2004]
Damn. I knew I forgot something this afternoon. It was the DLSU-FEU championship game. I finished watching Euro Trip by 5 and was wondering what I was supposed to do. Only when I was watching the news did I remember. Anyway, it's good that La Salle won. Go Archers!
Instead of watching the game, the thing I remembered was taking a bath, which is not a good thing if you have a fever. An hour after, I was flaming hot again and my head was cracking up. Stupid decisions.
I don't understand why I did decide to take a bath. It was the first in a two day-off, and I was not stinking or anything. The 'Me' of the past wouldn't even think of having a bath if not need be (I mean, skipping no more than one day), he would simply move from one task to another. This happens more when playing a good videogame.
A-hah! I guess this explains why I did take a bath this afternoon. I really find Suikoden 3 a boring game. It's slow, choppy, and the story, which seems interesting, takes too long to kick in. Am not saying that Suikoden 3 is a bad game, it's just a game you'd play if you had a lot of free time in your hands. For a person who comes home really tired, a videogame must, at the least, be able to keep me awake.
She SMS'd me again yesterday, telling me to use a different if ever I'd ever SMS her back. Seems like her ex-bf took her mobile phone including the sim cards as payment for everything he gave her. Sickest thing I have ever heard off. No matter how much you spent on a girl, you DON'T do that. Saying it is already wrong but this is just dumb.
Now she desperately needs money as her parents would fry her once they find out. She's currently looking for someone who could lend her the money. I am not that stupid someone.

I felt terrible when I woke up yesterday morning. It was amazing that I actually survived the day including our GA. There were instances after drinking Iced Tea that I found myself shaking.
Need a rough idea how sick I felt? It was Movie Day Wednesday yesterday, and I decided to go home instead of watching a movie, which is very unlikely for me considering that a ton of interesting movies opened yesterday, Secret Window, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Fahrenheit 9/11.
Now I have to figure out how I am going to watch them all. Fahrenheit 9/11 has a limited release and the only cinemas near me are SM Megamall and Galleria.
Seems like the team is going to be on the lean shift on Sunday, that's from 3 in the afternoon until 12 midnight. It ain't that hard going home during those hours as transpo home is 24/7. Going to work is the problem, I have to set 3 hours so I won't be late for work.
There are good and bad aspects to this schedule though.
The good ones include going out for drinks after the shift, and if you're working in Eastwood, that is a pretty amazing sight (I need to have my glasses fixed). Another would be catching a few performances in a gig and go home and have enough time to sleep before going to work the next day. Gigs usually finish around 3 in the morning so that is a good three hours of fun.
The downside comes with watching movies. With a shift ending at 12 midnight, means no time for last full shows and the only way I can watch a movie is to come to work early. Hopefully, the movies I want to watch would be shown in Eastwood so I wouldn't have to travel that far.
Anyway, these are welcome changes since we can't do anything about it. It's better than being in the night shift, say 9 in the evening till 6 in the morning, as that shift totally blocks you off from having a night life.
| |
It's just 9 in the evening and I am so tired. My eyes are real droopy, I can feel my head pulsating, and I can barely keep my arms up. I need a decent amount of sleep. This would hardly keep me from going home early in the morning after work tomorrow.
Another teammate got promoted. Good for her. Am starting to realize why I did not get promoted back in January (or until now for that matter). The thing is, I never worked for it. All I did was come to work each day, and perform what I have to do by my own liking. I had vague goals when I decided to join this company, saying that I should be promoted within a year, but I never worked for it.
Sure is depressing missing out on something by a hair string, but that fact is, you didn't work for it. You did not deserve to get promoted.
Well, this is the story of my life. At this age I am in right now, I have not worked for anything at all. Everything was so easy for me, even when it comes to eating milkfish.
It's time to change. I need some direction in my life, maybe then I would find what I am looking for, whatever that maybe, and who knows, be actually happy and content.
This change won't happen anytime soon though, I'd finish off the year being my insane and crazy self then start the 2005 as a person not so different from what I am now, but one who at least has some goals. Quite possible in a wholly different environment.
Yes. It's just the end of September, and I have already have a New Year's Resolution.
What?! You thought I'd change overnight? Right? I love procrastinating too much. Besides, I need to save up first.
As the saying goes, Hard work pays off later, Procrastination pays off NOW.
| |
I am so freaking stressed out today. The day started out right, but somewhere during the day, it shifted for the worse. When the day was over, I was completely exhausted. Add to that, I still had to travel more than 2 hours before I got home.
If it weren't for the wonder of multi-vitamins it be a vegetable now, or even worse, dead. I maybe exaggerating too much, but I feel that way.
Work used to be so freaking easy and enjoyable. Now it has become so stressful and demanding.
If I really had enough money, I'd resign right now. I have to keep my word though to at least finish the year. Hopefully, this exhaustion would not affect my performance and metrics to the point were they'd suggest I resign so I can gracefully bow out.
Three more months Simon. Three more.

I don't like Live Journal's new update interface. Hmmm. The interface is okay but how it works has changed drastically. In the past, all I had to do was type up my blog in Frontpage, preparing it for my website, then copy and paste the whole thing in Live Journal's rich text mode. Sadly, this is not the case anymore. I spent 30 minutes yesterday, editing the entry to be LJ compliant. Bummer.
Need I say that I find Suikoden 3 extremely boring. Was so excited to play it after last nights entry, but after a few minutes I was feeling sleepy. If it were a real interesting game, this would not happen. Now, I am already sleepy but I'll give it another shot.
I've stumbled across this website a few weeks ago and have loved it ever since. It contains stories about gadgets and some pretty weird things like ringtones which enhance breast size. Crazy.
This one is great though. You can now burn your own original CDs onto original looking music CDs.
Ever had a cat you loved so much only to wake up the next day struck cold by the sight of your cat's brains and guts spilled over the road? No need to worry. If you saved your cats genes, you can have it cloned. Dog cloning available next year. Check this website out. Honestly, it is freaking creepy. I had no idea they had the technology to do it. Tell me it's just a hoax?!
| |
Of course I had to SMS her. There was no special reason, I simply wanted to. Sent her a quote and she replied with one. Asked her how she is doing and she said she is extremely happy. Seems that after less than 3 weeks since she broke up with her bf she has a new one already. This is were I exit out of her life and stay in the shadows. This is how it always has been. Come to think of it, I was never a part of her reality.
Yes. Cute Without the E is my song for her. Every word in the song fits so well. I could just quote the whole song.
Cute Without the E (Cut from Team) by Taking Back Sunday
Your lipstick, his collar.. don't bother Angel
I know exactly what goes on
When everything you'll get is
everything that you've wanted, princess
(well which would you prefer)
My finger on the trigger, or
(me face down, down across your floor)
Well just so long as this thing's loaded
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinkin,
Let's go...
Don't bother trying to explain Angel
I know exactly what goes on when you're on and
How about I'm outside of your window
Watchin him keep the details covered
You're such a sucker (you're such a sucker)
for a sweet talker, yeah
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I wil never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me
Why can't I feel anything
from anyone other than you
And all of this was all your fault
And all of this
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life
(she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else)
Add the fact that the music video for this song is based from Fight Club. Makes me love the song more.
Enough of that. This is too emo for my own good.
Nothing much to say about work except that we have another 6 day workweek. It is tiring as hell, but is nothing compared to being in the night shift.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow opened in the US this week. This is a movie I am dying to see. Had this nostalgic feeling when I first saw the trailer back in summer. The movie is completely fake though. The only real objects here are the actors and the props they actually come in contact with. Everything is digital. The ultimate blue screen movie.
The Starwars DVD was also released this week and there has been a lot of say about the changes Lucas made to the sequel trilogy. I almost choked when I read what they did with Anakin Skywalker in this re-mastered edition. I have to see it.
Damn. I have spent too much time online. I need to play Suikoden 3 now. X-men: Legends comes out soon and am two RPGs behind. One at a time please. Where the hell were you guys when I needed you so desperately?!
| |
The last work week went by so fast I hardly realized it was over. Now, that one day-off we have for this week is over.
It's really hard trying to adjust to a one day-off week. You get home late the night before and sleep well into the afternoon the next day. The problem is for people like me who can't sleep at night if one woke up late before hand. I have no idea if I'll lay down later on if I'd be able to sleep at once or not. I could always play videogames though.
Ended up playing Suikoden 3 which is a normal RPG. So far it is quite bland and I don't find their Trinity system of any particular interest. I should have played Viewtiful Joe instead. Damn! I would have been playing Star Ocean if the first disk was only working properly on my PS2.
After two weeks, I have again watched a movie in the theater. Two weeks maybe short for some of you but not for me, it's like a drought. Anyway, I decided to watch The Bourne Supremacy and I freaking loved the film.
Normally, if I watch a movie after work, I'd be so sleepy that I'd actually doze off for a minute or two during the opening sequences of a movie as what happened with Connie and Carla.
This did not happen with The Bourne Supremacy, right from the start, it already kept me on my toes. Loved the fight scene where he rolled up a magazine and used it as a weapon. I gripped my seat when I saw him grab a map and get into a taxi, expecting one hell of a chase scene. I'd say the chase scene using a mini in The Bourne Identity was a tad better but nonetheless, this taxi was still great. None of the flashy explosions found in the previous Bond movies, just straightforward gripping action without the flashy parts. You should see it like now.

I finally got what I wanted. I now have a copy of Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time. I had no plans of dropping by Sta. Lucia, but some friends usually pass that way so I decided to tag along. Of course, I had to drop by the gaming section and was delighted to see copies of Star Ocean 3. Add to that, there were also copies of Suikoden 3 and Viewtiful Joe. Tested all of them and they worked fine. Star Ocean 3 has two DVDs and was only to test the first one, which at that point worked fine. Seeing that all of them worked, I bought them and you could say I was more than excited to get home and play them.
Popped them in the moment I got home. Suikoden 3 works and I tried to look for a save file for Suikoden 2 on the PS. I was able to find one of my memory cards, but sadly it did not have any Suikoden file data on it. Shucks!
Decided to try Star Ocean next. Popped in the second DVD and it worked fine. Troubles came with the first DVD, it would not load at all, trying every little trick that could help it load up, even standing the PS2 vertically. The farthest it would go is displaying the PS2 logo then a black screen. Tough luck. I've been longing to play this game for so long and Disk 1 does not want to work on my PS2. Fuck!
Viewtiful Joe loaded up smoothly and I was able to play a few rounds of this game. It looks great and all, and at this point would be the first game I'll be playing. Have heard of great things about this game ever since it was released on the GameCube. Thankfully, Capcom released it on the PS2. Coolness!
This is exactly why I wanted to play Star Ocean at once. Now I have a pile of games to play. Damn. When are those suspensions coming in?!
Funny thing happened while I was on the jeep bound for Cainta Junction. I slept and when I came to my senses I was already far from Junction and was venturing in Cainta proper itself.
Yes. I am THAT tired. My muscles are aching all over. My eyes are really heavy and longing for some shut eye. But stingeyes took over and I found myself testing those games right away. Now simonsayz is back and is posting later than usual. Of course, he just had to post and would not pass up on this opportunity.
Quite disappointed with Star Ocean not working right. I'll probably buy another copy next time. In the meantime, this would allow me to have some playtime with Viewtiful Joe and Suikoden 3.

I am drained. My shoulders are aching for no apparent reason, the only one could be having too much in my backpack.
Dropped by Marinx' booth at the Icon Tower in Eastwood Libis. They had all sorts of pastries for sale. I just had to buy a few of these home-baked goodies. Haven't eaten what I bought, will probably eat them for breakfast. Grabbed an EP of Join the Club as well.
Enough of this. I need to sleep now. I need the rest or else something may happen to this frail body of mine.
On a happy note though, dress down at work for the whole month of September. Casual attire all month long. This would be a perfect time to use the other pair of laces that came with my cool sneakers.
On a sadder note, after less than a week of not messaging her, she SMS'd again, saying goodnight but never replied again. Sad. What the hell is with her anyway?!
| |
I don't really have much to say. It's 11 in the evening and I should be thinking of sleep but here I am, blogging.
Start of a new work week, one which is going to last 6 days again. Good thing that this time it is considered as a 6th day. More money.
Wanted to watch a movie, but they all start pretty late, and like I said before, this is hardly any one that can interest me enough to waste a night for.
Trooped to the mall anyway with hopes of finding that damn Star Ocean game. The game was released in the US last August 31, it's the 18th of September now. What the hell happened to you pirates? Getting slow?

Haircut today after exactly two months. This time, had it all shaved off compared to before which barbers call "zero." I feel like a newborn baby now. I never thought I'd actually like having my head saved. I used to think just once, for the experience. Now I see that it is a shade better than having my hair long and all messed up. Personally, I look more badass. Hahaha.
I am really tempted to slash out on another bunch of DVDs. The Starwars Trilogy DVD will be available in a weeks time, 3750 pesos for the whole set. Wooh! Of course, I still don't have my copy of Episode 1 and 2 which are quite a must own due to the deleted scenes. I also want to get my hands on Extended Edition copies of Fellowship of the Rings and Two Towers, each costing 2600 pesos. The Extended Edition copy for Return of the King won't be available until November, I think.
There are other DVDs I want but are not available, Fight Club Limited Edition and Nightmare Before Christmas. They are really out of stock and no new copies are being made, which just sucks. I have not yet seen Nightmare Before Christmas. Poor me.
I guess am gonna buy the Starwars Saga DVD Pack first, which contains Episodes 1 and 2. Followed by the Starwars Trilogy then complete Lord of the Rings. A measly 13300 pesos only. Right!
It's amusing that I am collecting DVDs but do not have a DVD player. I only watch them on my PC and occasionally, for some Region 3 DVDs, on my PS2. Pathetic. There are some of which I have not seen yet, like the copy of The Matrix Reloaded and that lousy Region 1 version of Fellowship of the Rings.
I could invest in one, but I don't want to.
Speaking of Fight Club, I watched a show on Discovery and could hardly believe that Fight Club was almost not made. The film only made 37 million in the box office. Brad Pitt didn't cut his fee by half, which meant nobody else did. The Fox executive who green-lighted the film, lost his job right after. A hefty price to pay for Project Mayhem. Thanks man, it is my favorite film of all-time.

No Movie Day Wednesday yesterday. Since it was payday, went out with friends for dinner and a couple of drinks. I believe I drank 6 bottles of Strong Ice last night and needless to say, I was hit hard. Wapak. Had to sit down outside Ever Gotesco for an hour before I continued my journey home.
Speaking of payday, I was surprised to see 5 digits instead of the usual four. First time ever since being back in the morning shift have I seen 5 digits. I do believe I had 13+ hours of OT.
This ain't the only reason Movie Day Wednesday did not push through. There was a significant lack of interesting movies opening. Exorcist: The Beginning and 13 Going 30. Oh God help us. If ever I'd watch something before going home this week, it would most likely be The Notebook rather than the two mentioned films.
I need a new haircut. My hair is getting too long as I now have to dry my hair.
Mentioned Fable, unfortunately it is only available on the XBox. Why oh why Peter Molyneux.
For the past week or so, I started mentioning her again. Seems like she did broke up with her BF and just needed someone. She's found someone new now, and again, is nowhere to be found.
I really need a new and good RPG videogame.
Oh, Firefox Preview Release is now available for download. If you don't know what Firefox is, it is an Internet browser which is faster, safer and easier to use than Internet Explorer. There are loads of extensions and skins available.
Try it out!
There is this one extension called Mouse Gestures which makes browsing so much fun and simple. With a simple move of the mouse, you can initiate a number of commands. There is a slight learning curve but once you get used to it, you'd be longing for it, especially when you find yourself doing the gestures in IE.

September Never Felt This Cold
I don't think it was a good idea loading those MP3s. Had the MP3 player on shuffle when it came to Great Romances of the 20th Century by Taking Back Sunday. It was my theme song for September last year, and seems to be my theme song for September this year.
Then I realized that it has been exactly two years since we fought over a book report and "officially" broke up the next day. Wait. We were not "officially" together to begin with.
Hooray. Last day of work tomorrow. I have 100 pesos left which would barely get me through tomorrow. Movie Day Wednesday tomorrow. Yeah. Finally, something to be happy about.
Hopefully, there would be copies of the last episodes for Full Metal Alchemist, the PC game Fable or Star Ocean on the PS2. Any one of which would make me extremely happy.
Time to focus on material things once again. They won't break your heart. They will physically break though.
| |
2 working days. Just a little bit more.
Those suspensions could have helped if they were plotted this week. I wonder when the suspension would be plotted? I hope I'd have the new Star Ocean game by then.
Damn. I have so much to say but do not know were to start. I was thinking up lines for an upcoming monologue but can hardly remember anything. I guess my brain is just dead right now.
"It's coming up, it's coming up again (live here long to make her stay)
And what are you doing in my head?
And why did you call me when you're dead!?
(go on!)"
-- Go On, Taking Back Sunday
Shit. Was going to post a picture of the song using Audiomatch. Seems like they became too popular and it flooded their servers. Now, there are no free accounts. You would have to subscribe. Bummer.
| |
3 working days to go. I am already drop dead tired.
Don't look at the time I am posting this, as it already says sometime past 11 at night. If I'm drop dead tired, I'd be sleeping now. Just don't feel like sleeping yet.
Watched the Italian Grand Prix earlier, which pushed my normal 8-9 internet access time later in the night. Ferrari won again. Alonso and Raikkonen just vanished from the race. Was watching it on Star Sports Asia which comes with Chinese commentary which I don't understand. Will check race details at work tomorrow.
Anyone seen The Notebook? Most people I've asked said it was nice, but they were mostly girls and watched it with someone. If ever I'll watch it, I'd be all alone. I doubt I'll have enough money anyway. So I hope I'd be in control and not wake up surprised to me in the theater.
Enough of this. I'll force myself to sleep now.
| |
Life is so sad. Everyone is having fun at d*point aside from me. Just because of the simple reason of having my home too far from anywhere. Shucks. Rumors of moving to the night shift again are very likely and they can't even allow me to enjoy the last days in the morning shift by allowing day-offs to be on weekends.
Oh well, I should consider myself luckier than others.
I easily get depressed for no particular reason at all. I'd like to call it chronic depression but I doubt that it is. Could have been the rain, the fact that I am going home and missing out a great gig, or it could be her. Actually, it was her but it was my mistake. Expecting too much and everything.
Damn. I've been quite emotional these past days, but I am having fun in this emotional joyride.
Time to change MP3s.
Loaded up Yellowcard, The Get Up Kids, Taking Back Sunday, Tokyo Rose, Spongecola, and two songs from Finch.
I guess all of you know that I love reading webcomics. Despite not being active in their forums, you feel that you're connected in some way. Anyway, Gabe's wife gave birth to a baby boy. They uploaded some pictures on their site.

I've always wondered why I don't go home early straight after work. It took me sometime to realize that I hated the idea wherein everyone of my teammates would get home before I do despite me leaving an hour early. The travel time spent really eats up most of my life.
Picture this. It took me 30 minutes to get from one town to another, the time which most of my teammates need to get home.
Imagine how much time I'd have if only I lived closer to work. Of course, without sacrificing any of the benefits I have at home.
The agony does not end there. We had split days-off last week and now they moved our offs by a day, now Thursday and Friday. This means we are going to work for 6 straight days. The sadder part is it is not considered as a "sixth day" as it stills follows working 5 days within one work week. Shucks!
The only good thing about is that the week ends on Wednesday which means another movie day for yours truly.
Shit! I forgot one other agonizing detail. Lister's Party tomorrow. I won't be able to go since I have work tomorrow and the next day. If either day was free, I'd go.
In the current scenario though, it would be pretty insane. I'll leave for work tomorrow by 4 in the morning. Work until afternoon, watch a movie and trouble over to bar wherever. I doubt the party would finish before midnight (Cinderella type thing), and anytime beyond that translates to insufficient time to go home, take a bath and head over to work.
I doubt anyone would adopt me at such short notice, besides, I don't want to bring an extra set of clothes in my already stuffed backpack.
See how irritating it is.
| |
Sure was quick. Work again tomorrow and like all first days, I won't be getting any proper sleep. At this point, I am still not sleepy. Hopefully, I'd be asleep before midnight. 3 hours sleep would be enough. Gack! No wonder am not gaining weight.
Having the PC in my room is not a good idea. Now that my brother is in a different time zone, my sister-in-law has to use it at night which is when I need to sleep. Now I have to relocate to another room which isn't working out as good as it should as my bed is unlike any other bed. It knows me inside out. I only get to sleep comfortably in other beds if I am drop dead tired. which clearly ain't the case now.
I've noticed that ever since mom got home, I have been sleeping later than usual. When she was gone, I had to be asleep by 11 pm or else I'd have troubles waking up. Now, I have her to wake me up. (Freaking mama's boy!!)
This day was highly unproductive. I slept till noon and only got to watch Mystic River. No PC or PS2 gaming.
For the first time in ages, I do not have any money left. All I have is 800 pesos until the next paycheck which is 6 days from now. I wonder if I am going to survive.

I really excel in wearing myself out. Last night I hardly had any sleep. It was past 12 when I last checked the time and found myself awake three hours later. Traveling to work is quite draining but I am used to it. Work itself was pretty much normal. Since I had no work for today, I decided to catch a couple of movies. Could have been three but I did not get to Metro East early enough as I made sure I ate something first.
This is the only reason why I love Thursday offs as I can stay up late on Wednesday watching most of the new releases. This time around I decided to go on a comedy run. Watched The Terminal and Dodgeball.
Disappointments settled it first. No new Star Ocean game yet. No new episodes for Full Metal Alchemist either.
The Terminal is unlike any Spielberg movie I have seen before but I could say that it was great. The terminal itself is one humongous set and is very pretty and functional. A lot of in-movie advertising.
As expected, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story was enjoyable because of Vince Vaughn and not due to Ben Stiller. Vince's acting style seems so natural and unforced as compared to Ben's, which seemed too forced. Good fun but I'd say some of the jokes and punch lines were quite disturbing.
Movie night finished around 12 midnight. By 1, I arrived home and have been online ever since. I am so tired and sleepy.
A post this week would not be complete without mentioning her, so here I go. It's amusing how some things never change. She hardly opens up about anything before and despite what she is going though right now, hardly spills any info about it.
| |
See what I mean?
She just broke up with her bf and just needs someone to comfort her. Fishing included. So better not expect anything at all. Just be happy that you are using your mobile phone now.
Work was great, considering it was Labor Day, there was hardly anyone calling. Here's hoping that tomorrow would not be so hectic.
It's our day-off again on Thursday, half of our split day-off special for the week. You know what that means, movies galore. Dodgeball looks insanely entertaining.
Tycho of Penny Arcade is already talking about the new Star Ocean game. Fuck. I need to get my filthy hands on a copy tomorrow. If you don't see me blog for a week or two, that would mean I have a copy.
Damn, it's been awhile since I last played a good RPG.

Yey! Successfully uploaded all 244 pictures. Would want to paste a few pics here but am being lazy. Just click here to see the pics, if you are by any chance interested.
Anyway, the rest of the night was different yet nostalgic. I spent most of the night holding my mobile phone and messaging this person whom I haven't heard from in months, no communication at all. It's different in the sense that I hardly use my phone for messaging anymore. The most would be a few messages to confirm something or a quick hello to someone.
Am I happy that she messaged me out of the blue? I don't know but my heart started pounding when I saw her name in my inbox.
If you want to know more, this is the same girl that ripped my then still beating heart out of my chest and painted the walls with it and my blood then fed it to dogs after wearing it out. That was two years ago when I still had a tad of self-confidence left which she crushed as well.
Now shall I say am happy? I dunno. It's pretty obvious that she is fishing but do I care? Nah.
It's pretty amazing how the past just hits you in the face when you least expect it. In a combination of punches and kicks. All it takes is one weekend to show you that you once had a love live, whatever that may mean.

The debut last night was pretty amazing. It was the first time I ran out of both battery charge and memory space. Easily filled up the 128 MB compact flash card past midnight then had the 32MB finish off the night. A total of 244 pictures which I just finished resizing so I can upload them faster to Shutterfly, which I would do later during the free Internet hours.
Saw a lot of friends whom I have not seen in ages. Lots of changes with them. The hosts for the night were hilarious. The food was okay and the beer kept on coming. There were performances by the Virus Band, the Jumbolilith band, Imago, Chicosci (minus Miguel), and Sugarfree. It was also Niche's debut as lead singer for Chicosci. There is a video and of course pictures. Haha. It was great to see everyone out of their usual casual attires and in formal attires. These instances rarely come by.
Videoke sessions at Gerardo's after the debut. More beer and kamote fries, and of course, singing.
Got home by 5 in the morning and slept the whole day until 3 in the afternoon. Only one day-off remaining.
Will upload the tons of pictures later.
Why is it that people ask me how "she" is doing when there wasn't even an "us" to begin with? God, how I wish there was.

Managed to watch three movies in the past 3 days. Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement two days ago and Connie and Carla plus Super Size Me yesterday.
Princess Diaries 2 was a fun movie, though it lacked the freshness of the original.
Connie and Carla was another fun movie (This is how "fun" I make reviews.), a movie about women who are pretending to be men pretending to be women. It was pretty amusing though am still recalling if I liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding better.
Super Size Me on the other hand, was absolutely superb. Am thinking twice now about eating at fast food joints and consuming too much sugar. Can you imagine a guy eating an average of 2 point something Big Macs a day? Insane.
Laughed out during the part were Grade 1 students were shown pictures of social figures. They had the name correct for George Washington but was a little off when it came to why he was famous or known for. When shown a picture of Jesus Christ, the kids had NO idea who he was. One kid even guessed, "George W. Bush." Of course, Ronald McDonald was easily recognized as the person who gives everyone Happy Meals.
Before Super Size Me, I was able to catch the trailer for the American version of The Grudge. No comment.
Am so bloody tired now, but I don't want to sleep yet. It has been 4 days since I last used the internet connection at home. It's a good thing that my pre-planned SILs hit the mark again. As a result, I have 3 days off. Add to that there is a pending 3 day suspension sometime in September. Yey?
