Sa Totoo Lang..

..batong-bato na ako dito sa bahay.

Sawa na ako sa pagtambay. Wala pang matinong palabas pag Monday. Biglang sobrang bagal ko na pala magbasa.

Buti na lang may kwenta tong mga cellphone ko para sa ganito, kahit konti. Pero di pa din gaano. Balik na lng ako sa pag-t-txt..

:-"

Still Glad..

..that I still have some -- no, a handful -- errr, a couple of readers. :P

Thanks. :)

I still think I'm getting better. I'm pretty confident about tomorrow's check-up. What's worse today is that my upper body is taking all the burden. My abs ache when I flex them, which is quite frequent, especially when I need to get back up from slouching, and it hurts worst when I suddenly have to cough. A few other muscles are letting me feel guilty of excessive reliance: in my neck, my forearms, my right leg. Some bruises also let me feel them a bit late: surprisingly, my left thigh.

Never felt down, though. *grin*

Lousy Tribute

I suddenly recall another scene from this year's Myx Music Awards:

Kami nAPO Muna performers switched songs!!! Channel surfing, I stumbled on Raimund Marasigan *gasp* slurring his way through Batang-bata Ka Pa.. The agony.. I knew I had to change the channel when Sponge Cola's vocalist went out after Raims..

Recovering

Slowly, I feel that I'm getting better. My left hand isn't sore anymore, though it still stings when I bend it a little too much. The wounds on my left hand and arm are already dry.

Kei's elder sister, Jhem, loaned some crutches for me! A huge relief from Pa's cane. And, of course, I'm mighty glad that Kei came by to visit yesterday, and I would still be glad, even if she didn't bring
the crutches. >:D<

Weird Dreams

The other night, I dreamt that Kei and I were in an amusement park. There was an arcade machine of Guitar Hero that had a huge screen, and had seats built-in. We agreed to play, especially before my batchmates arrived. We paid to play for a couple of hours, and when we got on the seats, Chico, Jem, Leks and some others came. I kept saying that I didn't know how to play Guitar Hero. I was surprised when what I picked up was a controller somewhat like from a Sega Genesis. Except that it had, like, 50 buttons. Still wondering how to play the game, I seemed to have let it start. I just mashed as much buttons as I could. Of course, I sucked.

Last night, I dreamt that I was with Francis (Pineda, officemate) with two others, and we were waiting for a bus to Manila. I felt like I really had to pee. I told them to wait, and I settled to pee on a wall behind a tree, where I saw that others had already peed there. I had just unzipped when a group of street kids encircled me, chanting "P50". There were a couple of "Bawal umihi dito" scribbles on the wall. I just went on, and after zipping back up, I turn around and face a police officer. He said the fine was $20. I was looking for a P50-bill in my purse, and he suddenly pulled out a P100-bill. "Oh, well," I thought. I hitched a ride on their owner-type jeep, and we had gone quite far and it was getting dark, when I remembered that Francis was still waiting for me! I got off and called for a tricycle. As I got on the trike, I noticed that my hair was different. I looked at a mirror and saw that my hair was in dreadlocks.

Then, I woke up and I really had to pee.

Isipin Mo Lang..

..nung magkasama na presentor sa Myx Music Awards si Erik Santos at
ang di-umanong kasintahan nitong si Rufa Mae Quinto, parang nagkaka-ilangan silang dalawa. Weird hesitation for a lousy kiss.

Pero bago nun..

..nung nagpapasalamat si Erik Santos para sa isa sa ilang award nya, sa bandang dulo ng speech nya, "..syempre (pause) sa.. hehe.. sa.. (pause) iniibig ko (pause) si.. Rufa Mae.. hehe.. (pause) ... (biglang taas ng trophy, at sigaw ng) Jonathan!

Buti Wala..

..walang fracture, walang i-c-cast.

Naalala ko tuloy yung isang episode ng The Simpsons na nagka-butt cast
si Bart. :p

Ganito Pala..

..mabundol.

Kahapon pa sana ako mag-p-post. Kaso, medyo restless pa mga tao.

Kanina pa akong mga 2am pagising-gising. Hindi kasi ako makapagpalit ng pwesto ng basta-basta. Sumabay pa yung pagka-ngalay ng likod ko.

Nagsisi ako bigla na ipinalagay ko muna sa ref yung prutas na bigay ni Kei. Gusto ko sana ngayon.

Lab na lab talaga kita, Kei. Tong taba kong to, inaakay mo ako. Saya ko naman. Sabay akap.

Kahapon, medyo naasar ako sa HealthServ. Ang tagal-tagal kong naghintay, nakaupo lang sa wheelchair. Tinanong ko yung receptionist, kung pwede man lang ba akong magpalinis ng sugat. Sabi, "kay Doc". Mahigit isang oras din, bago ako nakapagpa-X-ray. At hindi nila nilinis yung mga sugat ko. Wala pa silang saklay. Bwisit din na insurance yan. Wala daw to sa coverage ko. *grrrr....gle*

Nasa isip ko kahapon, "Natatanga ako, pag ako yung may problema." Paano ba naman, kung hindi pa inalok ng nagmamaneho yung cellphone number nya, hindi ko pa malalaman. Sana din nag-file ako ng report sa barangay office.

"Para! Mama, sasakay po!"
"WTFWTFWTF! BBQ?! Motor amp!"
*kablag*
"Hindi pala masakit, e! Kaya ko tumayo! Kaya ni Will Smith, e kotse pa yung sumapol sa kanya! *nyaaaaa!* Sakit pala!"

Metal

Cool.

Chrome-plated and brushed metal, in one piece.


In a jeep from LB to Calamba, on my way to work this morning.

Bargain Books

After so, so long, I found time to pass by a bookstore (last week). I went to Diplomat at Olivarez Plaza to look for a passport sleeve. They were already out-of-stock, so just to make my trip worth the while, I decided to take a quick look at their stock of books.

Luckily, I found some quite obscure (for me) titles from a couple of authors I like to read:

The Folk of the Fringe, by Orson Scott Card




Nemesis, by Isaac Asimov




Second Foundation, by Isaac Asimov



This is the third book from the Foundation series. I've read the first book, Foundation, way back in 2nd-year college, and I haven't read the second book, but I thought that it would be nice to have a copy of this. Besides, it was a bargain. :D



I wonder when I will have the time to read these.. Haven't even read my copy of Children of the Mind..

Happy!!!

Happy Mark Gamis Day!!! :D

Bits

On the bus on my way to work, Ghost Rider was playing. I haven't seen it before, and I only saw a bit of it, but I liked what I saw! It was probably a pirated copy, but I was surprised that the video and sound quality was really good.

Speaking of comic hero movies, the new TMNT movie has a new trailer! I am once again surprised that I liked what I saw! :p

Nag-d-drama bigla si Mark.. *whistle-whistle*
