Paper planes and codes

I woke up at about 11 am and my eyes are burning hot. As much as I would like to get back to sleep, the kids are waiting for me to have the lessons.

The session with the kids was fun as we did some projects with the computer. We did paper planes and tested it. Even though they’re that young, they really know what symmetry is. Getting some designs and the folds from the software was tedious. They really knew what they wanted and I’m happy that their planes just flew well.

We also did some old school paper planes. The “batman” just did better than the ones that have been made with the PC.

After the lessons, I did some readings on OSCommerce. I hope I’ll get into the feel.

Too much

Its 3:06 am and I’m done with my day’s sked. I woke up about 9 am and did some home cleaning. After that, I went to the kids and back to the office to check the CPU. I’m glad that the CPU I assembled last Saturday is doing fine. At last, I can work with our PC without some annoying casts. Haha

At about 3 pm, I went to Tagi to have his PC checked. I installed iTunes as he bought himself an iPod mini. He also bought a stick of memory for an upgrade. I also checked his PC at the bar.

It was almost 6 pm when I was done with Tagi. I went straight to Grasya at Matina and checked her PC. It was a wreck… her CD-ROM drive is a mess so I decided to go to Kila at Bangkal, thinking I might borrow her drive since I’m asked by her to have her printer checked.

She told me to meet her at Space Burger-Matina Aplaya and bought some burgers. We went at her home and had checked her printer. It was nice of her because she prepared some dinner. It was fun eating as we try to get some sense in every thing that we might dig in. The conversation was very fun and I really enjoyed talking to her. Anyway, her printer was done.

At about 9 pm, I decided to go back home to have my drive extracted because Kila doesn’t have one. After the extraction, I went back to Grasya and stayed there until 2:30 am. I’m tired but it was fun.

Anyway, I have to sleep now. :)

*sigh*

I just can’t sleep and I’m trying to talk to my dog. You know, I just have to look into her eyes and she’s like listening to what I am trying to say. I’m sort of consfused as emptiness within me is trying to eat up my sleep.

Its 1:30 in the morning right now and I’m burning some time browsing the net. I’m trying to find some answers from random sites.

I just have to let this out. I just don’t know how.

Boredom and getting out of it

Getting through this day is such a boring thing. I woke up at about 11 am and just did some T.V. watching. I wanted to get somewhere but I’m sort of bored to almost anything. I really don’t know. Maybe, it’s just me again.

I also tried listening to my iPod. Uploaded some old and new tunes and went isolated for about 2 and a half hours.

Tomorrow would again be a surprise for me. I don’t know. I’m still on the hunt for some earphones and try to find purpose of this life. I want to get into something that has been said by a new friend the other day. Maybe, I’ll have to try it and become one. Being passively active to the things around me would maybe get me into something. I do hope that would work.

I’m also into getting transcendental. Maybe that would make me more mature. For the past months, I’m sort of impulsive. I liked being one on some occassions but most of the times, I’m stucked in a hellhole.

Ok, I’ll shut up now.

Saturday and being careless

So far, Saturday is fine. I started my day with a wake up phone call from Tito Manny. It was 9 am and my eyes are on fire. I went to bed at about 4:30 am and I wanted to sleep again. He called because our council, Knights of Columbus Council 11048, will distribute milk to the kids of Ma-a Parish.

I just can’t hesitate. I have to get up and get ready.

I was in the Parish at about 10:20 am and started helping my brother knights. I was again the camera man and the water boy. It was fun and the kids just love the milk. A nun also gave some bread and was distributed along with the milk.

After the milk distribution, I went to my dentist to have my teeth checked. She changed my elastics and did some stripping between my teeth. I just can’t wait to have my braces removed.

I also “fixed” the CPU of Ate Violy. You know, its not the CPU that has to be fixed. It was just me. I’m sort of careless and things within the PC just messed up. I can’t hear the error beeps. I can’t think of any error that came across. It was just the Monitor that has been plugged to 110 V.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

New Friends

The day has been very loaded with so much good things.

I was able to meet some good people and I’m sort of inspired with the things that I have learned.

This man is very intelligent. He is idealistic and showed me some of his works.

I’m very much impressed and I really hope to work with him soon. I was really intrigued to some of his projects especially that deal with some invention and helping other people.

Anyway, I knew him from a friend who needs my help in getting the Automatic Thermo Controller interfaced with the PC. I’ve done a project in interfacing the UT100 switch to PC and I’m on the roll of getting into it. I’m very excited and I hope I could do things the right way.

Please, help me Lord. :)

Hyper

Getting through this day is very exhausting. I had to see Grace to have her system tuned and dealt with the Kids again. They were so hyper.

We were having fun but they just drained the hell out of me. Getting into the keyboard with all those hands, I just can’t be the anti-kid chaos geek. I just switched into “Safe-Mode” as they try to play with the PC. We were all laughing and made fun with each other. There was also this “saliva” thing that has been passed through the hands and tired to wipe it to each other. Those kids just love to play. I just can’t resist laughing as they try to make faces to each other. It was a hellride.

I love you Kira

My day was fine until my brother swapped our rottweiler (Kira) for a great dane because of some nicks at the back.

Mama just broke into tears as she talked to me over the phone. There’s nothing we can do because my brother is the Master Caretaker of Kira. I just can’t believe what he has done. I was angry, very sad and cried upon hearing the news. I just can’t believe what he has done.

While out of home, I wasn’t really feeling well. It was like hell within me. My brother is so selfish. Even though Kira is his and Boo is mine, I’m very much attached with Kira. Every morning, I see to it that we’ll play and do some talking. She listens to me like she knows what I am talking. She comforts me when I’m pressured. She plays like there’s no tomorrow. She’s just a sweetheart.

I was supposed to go home late but I just can’t wait to talk to my brother about it.

When I went home, I was surprised to see Kira. Mama was happy when I saw her and asked what happened. My brother had the great dane and tried to be comfortable with it. After some walks and house breaking, the great dane was howling. The same thing also happened to Kira as the owner of the great dane talked with Mama.

I was excited to let Kira out of his cage and played with her. I was very happy to see her as I let her stay inside for the rest of the night. I was caressing her, letting her feel that I love her very much. I know that she also miss us and we were just happy. It was like a new day for us.

I just love Kira.

Just some of this day

I was preparing for the wedding of Airen tomorrow. Its just that, I’m not that comfortable getting into the barong.. It’ll be my 2nd time to wear a barong since my Grade 6 graduation. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll look dorky tomorrow.

I’m into chatting again. It’s fun. I’m just getting some life into it. The people there are so funny. They just tend to make me laugh. Too serious for the ultimate nullifier.

I also got a video from Disturbed I’ll be watching that tomorrow night.

Loaded Monday

This morning, I went to see Grace to have her computer installed with PeachTree. It was fun because it also gave me a chance to play with her daschund. It was cute and barks so hard. The dog even wants to come with me. Hehe

And in the afternoon, I was again with the kids with some lessons. They’re so smart and honest.

I also went to the shop to have my barong. I’ll be one of the groom’s men for Airen’s wedding on Wednesday. It’ll be my second time to wear a barong since my grade school graduation.

And again, no earphones for this day. I really miss my tunes and I can’t find decent buds in the city. I hope I could get one soon. Maybe a Sennheiser or the Apple iPod Earphones.

Another Sunday :)

At about 9 pm last night, I was invited by Ivan to celebrate his birthday at Visa Videoke Bar. The night was very fun. We just took turns on the mic. I was able to sing some songs that I thought weren’t popular to them. I was even accused of not singing it. Hahaha.

Anyway, I went home at about 2 am. I realized that, I forgot to bring my thumb drive home. Grrrrr.

Again, I wasn’t feeling sleepy so I called Yanni at talked until 6 am. I really enjoyed talking to her. She’s smart and funny.

I slept at about 6:10 am and woke up by my dog, Boo at 12 noon. She smells so good and very sweet of her to lick my toes. She’s intelligent that she knew that I have to wake up to watch my favorite show, The Amazing Race.

I enjoyed the show and again, I still get goose bumps watching those winning moments.

Emptiness and Nothingness

The day has been busy. This morning, I was preparing the lessons for the kids. I also did some phone calls and did some laundry. I also went to the office to check on something that has to be checked. After that, I went to the place where the kids are and brought in the lessons.

After all those things, I decided to watch Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, alone. I don’t know but again, I’m having this feeling of emptiness. If girls have this monthly period, I think I have this periodic emptiness.

The feeling started when I woke up this morning. I realized that my earphones are not working. So I went out “naked” and I’m not happy about it. I’m always with a pair of earphones when I go out.

But anyway, the emptiness has surfaced by the succeeding events in my schedule. While going to the kids, lots of lovers can be seen. I thought it was February 14. Then when I was at the kids’ place, again, lovers are everywhere. And at the movie theater, beside me, left and right, front and back, lovers are again ubiquitous. The scene just made me realized that I am nothing.

*sigh

The emptiness is building from the nothingness that I have become.

Check-up, earphones...etc.

My brother and I went to Dr. Gabby de Borja. My brother felt some dizziness for the past 5 days and it’s about time to have him checked. Well, the doctor just checked his ears, nose and his mouth and gave him some medication. Thank God, he’s doing fine.

Later that day, I went to have Eng2x’s computer checked. It was a torture in the making. Her father just wanted to have Windows XP Chinese Edition installed on a very slow computer. It took me 2 hours to have it installed.

After that, I was again sticking my earphones into my ears. To my surprise, the right side won’t give me the sound that I expect. I don’t know what happened and I’m not happy about it. I don’t think I could find a decent piece of earphone here in Davao. I’m just trying to be normal now. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Another Normal Day :)

Finally, I’m done with my official “to-dos” and I’m going to backup my new mp3s to blank CDs.

I had my birth certificate authenticated and my parent’s marriage certificate validated. I also had my braces fixed and my elastics changed. I’m beginning to feel slight tension in my mouth as I prepare myself later to eat. I hope to have these brackets removed soon as I don’t want to think about it more.

Later tonight, I’ll just do some cleaning on my computer. Do some reorganizing of my CDs and change playlist on my iPod. I’m also thinking of changing OS for my iPod as Linux is doing well with it. Imagine, you can just tweak it and do some amazing stuff like do some recording without those expensive accessories.

Anyway, I’ll go out now and I’ll have some food trip. I’m craving for the “Stars” at Space Burger. Rarrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Boring Wednesday

Wednesday was fine. Office was still boring and we just went non-sense with everything

Gerly (with an “E”), Jennifer, Lea and I just went talking and laughing at noonbreak. As usual, our big mouths just can’t stop the corny jokes of Jennifer.

Anyway, here are some pics.


Me, Gerly and Jennifer (hehe)

And also, I also played with Kira and enjoyed the night watching her.


Tired of playing

"Exploding" iPod

Yikes! Here's the story.

Being fat and some rain

The day has been fine. I was able to do the things that should be done.

I had a meeting with Wilson and it’s nice to share some things about what I knew. I felt like a “consultant”. Hehe. We’re expecting to see each other more in the next few days. He even gave me some gift certificates. That was great.

I had my picture taken and I think I’m fat. I have to do more workout as I want to trim down. Yikes!

Well, my incoming folder has a lot of good things, videos and some audios. There’s Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, some Cradle of Filth, Marilyn Manson, Static-X and the new album of Audioslave. I just have to transfer them to CDs later.

As usual, rain and no rain.

I think, I have to get those gift checks redeemed.

iPods

I just got a call from Wilson. He'll be getting some iPods in his store and he wants my help on having those things packed on his place.

Am I working as a consultant? :) Hmmm. I smell something ok.

Rain

Rain has poured again here in Davao and I don’t think my clothes would dry quickly. Maybe I’ll do some ironing again just like before.

I’m glad that Patrick liked my designs. I am finally working with the final logo and the web design. At last, I can now polish whatever that has to be polished.

Tomorrow would be a busy day again as I would be doing some paper works for myself. I was able to talk with Auntie Paquit and told me about doing everything double time. I hope things will go my way as I’m excited of getting “somewhere”.

Security at Ateneo

By the way, last wednesday, when I went to Ateneo to get my diploma, I was asked to surrender my I.D. to the guard at the gate for security purposes. Of course, I complied and went straight to the Registrar’s Office. I asked for my diploma and again, they have to see my I.D. How can I present my I.D. if my I.D. is at the guard’s table? Ok, I was told to go back to “borrow” my I.D... Then again, I am being asked by the guard of my reason to “borrow” my I.D. Ok, I explained and with some eye contact, the guard just told me to write down my name at the log book.

It’s funny because I wrote Nebuchadnezzar. Hahahahaha

Internet, Designs, Mackin

For the past two days, my internet connection was very slow. I can’t even send and receive mails. I wanted to go to the office to do those things but rain just made me hibernate. The weather is so cold and it’s nice to stay at home.

I just did some backup and made some designs for the web. I am happy that Patrick liked the designs and I hope I’ll do better. I’m glad that I have this eye for designs. Thank you Lord.

I also got a call from Auntie Paquit. We just had some follow ups as we try to check on the progress of our case against our cousin. My cousin Kathleen also wanted to get a laptop for herself. I hope she’ll get a nice deal. Laptops are great but it’s too pricey. How I wish I could get a laptop that performs and cost like a desktop.

Later, I’ll try to polish some designs. It’s been months since I used Flash and I’m sort of getting into the culture of being a designer. I’m just an audio freak and I wish I could get in the visual culture fast. I hope the “feel” would sink in.

When I did some designs this morning, I was listening to Rage Against The Machine and Tonic. I don’t know but it worked fine with me. I’ll try to get Marilyn Manson’s Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals and Nine Inch Nails’ Pretty Hate Machine, Broken and The Fragile. I hope that would work too. The two are brilliant and I hope that will get into my work later.

I also talked with Mackin at Yahoo! Messenger. I’m very thankful that aside from the Better Than Ezra DVD that he’ll give to me on June, he’ll also give the Apple iPod Earphones for free. Thank you Mackin. Thank you Lord. :)

Friday the 13th

I went to bed at about 4:30 in the morning. I was doing some designs for the web and did backup to my mp3s on CDs.

I woke up at about 12 NN and watched Game K N B. Mama and I also decided to cook some spaghetti.

Later in the afternoon, I continued doing backup as my mp3s had eaten a lot of space in my drive. The complete discography of AC/DC has consumed a lot of space... About 1.45 GB. I also have to do some transfers from my PC to my iPod just to accommodate the archiving. Too bad, I ran out of CDs so I have to buy some as I would be reformatting my PC. I just have to do my periodic maintenance so I could work well on it.

Tonight would be again a busy night as I would be doing some designs.

I hope things will go my way.

Spurs-of-the-moment

When I was in the office, I was excited to open my incoming folder. I got some new tunes and some videos. I got VH1'’s When Metallica Ruled the World - Metallica Rules the World, Safri Duo (drums...), Black Label Society, Lamb of God and the soundtrack of Lost Highway. I’m glad that I was able to bring some spare CD and had them burned. *yes!

I never realized that it was almost 2:30 pm. I forgot to have my lunch so I decided to go somewhere where my feet would go. I just had a ride on the jeepney and realized that I only have P 20 in my wallet. Yikes!

Luckily, it was a ride that led to Metrobank Red Cross. Thank God, there was an ATMachine. (NOT ATM Machine). I got some money and when I saw Ateneo, I decided to get some documents. Again, I forgot that I was hungry.

It took me almost 15 min and decided to go to Port Café at Gmall.

I don'’t know but when I ordered grilled pork chop, calamari and extra rice, I was actually paying for the food minus extra rice, plus cheesesticks. Does extra rice sound like cheesesticks? Again, I wasn'’t paying attention. I forgot to check my order for clarification. It’s greedy of me to eat those. It was overkill.


Yikes!!! Calamari, Cheesesticks and Grilled Pork Chop.

I also got a text from Norwynn while eating and he told me to check the module at our client. I can'’t refuse. I have to do that. It was profuse. I have to finish the food fast so I could do the checking. I don’'t know how I finished the food but I felt so heavy.

Anyway, I was able to check the module and decided to go to Davao Light. I was able to remember Inin so I sneaked in and traded hellos.

After that, I went back to the office and had some surfing. Talked with Norwynn and went out at about 7:10 pm.

The day has been spontaneous so I decided to have a haircut.

Too bad, Tatay Doming was not there to cut my hair. But having those “spurs-of-the-moment”, I just gave the the other barber a shot of my hair.

So far, I like my new haircut. Being spontaneous isn’'t bad afterall. I’m just glad that luck has been with me the whole day. Thank you Lord! :)

VH1 and chicks

I just got a copy of VH1’s When Metallica Ruled the World – Metallica Rules the World.

It was VH1's series of “When ___ Ruled the World”. It was the story of Metallica’s 20+ years compressed for 1 hour television. I still get goose bumps watching it. They really inspire me a lot. They’re such a sweetheart.

Anyway, I have to continue doing something for myself and for my work.

Not much of something lately but hey, I was at the Venue last night. The chicks on stage just grind so hard. I think I have to have more beer to get into that. They look good from far. What an eye candy.

Trivium

I've read an article on the net...

Trivium, trying to become Metallica? hmmm...

I've tried listening to Trivium but they just sound heavy. They could be one of the Metal hopefuls but they just can't beat the dedication and the hard work Metallica has done for 20+ years.

*sigh* There's nothing wrong in dreaming to become someone, they just have to work more.

Ateneo's Registrar's Office...

I was in Ateneo to get my diploma. I wasn't able to get my 1st copy because it was not the time to get it.

Lady at the Registrar's Office: "Ngano karon lang man nimo gikuha"? (with a sarcastic look) - Translation - Why only now?
Me: "Actually, sa year 3000 pa nako kuhaon." (hehe) Translation - "Actually, I'll be getting that on the year 3000".

*sigh*

MotherFather*&^%$#@. What's with all those adlibs? Is she trying to say that my diploma has no place on that school? MotherFather%^%$%^#$%^ paksyet!!!

Anyway, I'm at the office this time and I am burning all the mp3s that I have downloaded over the week. I got Days of The New, Our Lady Peace, Atreyu, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Puddle of Mudd, Mudvayne, Soilwork and some audiobooks. :)

I'll be searching for Safri Duo's concert at emule later. Those men just love to drum. I like their style.

Party boy!!!

Just came home from Eide’s birthday party. It was fun. Rocky did the 80's. We just can't stop laughing. How I wish I was able to get that on video.

At the party, I was able to meet my former boss. I used to work as a waiter and I’m glad that they still know me.

Again, I was able to eat one of her specialty, Tenderloin Tips, very consistent. I still love the taste. Yummy!

And again, I was able to meet a new friend. She’s Inin, very strong and a non conformist. I like her and I hope to do things with her soon. She has sense even though she’s drunk.

But anyway, I have to check the other mails and get my rest.

Good morning!!! :)

*sigh

I went to bed at about 4 am. I was inserting some new ideas for Eide’s surprise birthday presentation and rendered it for about 20 min. I am about to author it to VCD and I hope things will go our way.

Later, I’ll go to the office to fix the laptop of Engr. Pojas. His laptop is very weird.

Anyway, I’ll go fix myself. :)

Birthday Presentation for Eide

I should have been there last thursday at Addie's place to get the pictures for Eide's suprise party at Avenue S. Again, I wasn't paying attention. I wasn't able to get those things and I am doing everything just this time.

I'm glad that things are getting my way as I am about to finish this short video presentation for Eide's birthday.

I have to pause for a while as I would be getting some inspiration in finishing the whole package. I hope things will go ok. :)
