the pleasure of pleasing.
ive never grown weary doing that. in fact, even if it bleeds my heart, i still try to exert effort when at the same time in the back of my head, i know that theres a big percentage that i wont be listened to. sino ba naman ako?.. well that sounded a bit dramatic and pathetic but there will always come a time that you ask your very own self-importance. coz all the while, the memories you try to keep and treasure.. will just be a big box of junk, youre afraid to throw away. having all kinds of false hope just to see that everything will just be on its normal state.
isnt everybody afraid to die unhappy now? and wow.. is this life THIS meaningless for others? why do we always forget to understand and demand whats very difficult for us to have? especially if we try to ask security from a person whose insecure than the one demanding it? i dont get it.
i had friends. until everybody went nowhere. gone one by one. i still have my old friends though. and i think... people shouldnt have new friends. because it would really take time for us to establish the friendship and define where it is when one of them asks. we couldnt be offguard. every night, we always have to re-evaluate. but again, its unpredictability is more than the word itself.
i cant be myself anymore. i might lose some people but... its where its heading right? i couldnt just save friendships all by myself.
im sad. and im sorry. but i have to cling on to my sanity.
sense of time.
weirdly, i was wearing my old CAT uniform, just got a jacket (coz geez, twas raining so hard) got wet, and just in time, imago na ang sasalang. then updharmadown was next. i know i had one of those great gigs but...
my flu, a lil migraine, and fever is killing me now. just got home coz pattoys, mike and i waited til 430 for mike's bus. wow los banos pa sha uuwi. "ano ba naman yung tatlong oras na byahe. ang lapit kaya." sabi nya.
"so pag 20 minutes lang ang byahe mo.. i think you need another term for that."
again, i introduced myself to armi and paul. alam na kaya nila na ako ako. hahahaha. i am such a fan.
"...ikaw ang iniisip tuwing ngumingiti ako..."

edited 345pm: claire and dea... sorry i got you confused. i was way being excited, i didnt make any sense when i read it. lol for some interested people and wanted to read this but doesnt know how... just highlight it between spoiler start til spoiler end. lj cut doesnt work for others who dont want to read it.
[spoiler start]
13: twas about sawyer at first. started when jack went through all his things trying to get his stash of painkillers. conned locke, kate and almost everybody so locke could hide the guns somewhere and take it out of the safe. had a flashback of her girlfriend (i honestly think he loved her) who had 600k$ out of her divorce. proving that *sigh* sawyer was a bad guy after all. (well who would know since the unpredictability of the series is way weirder than barney being purple.) he made charlie (shempre secret pa to until nung end ng episode na si charlie junkie pala) put a bag on sun's head, tied her up then sawyer made kate think that it was all about ana lucia trying to build an army and get the guns. so kate told sawyer to go to locke and in the end... twas all about sawyer getting all of it. "welcome the new sheriff in town."
14: ana lucia saw someone in the woods so she called for sayid. twas the i-was-stranded-for-16-years-and-i-lost-my-child-named-alex french chick, russo (oh i forgot she had a name). she caught one of "the others" then sayid cut the trap, let him go, then yellow 4 russo here went playing put an arrow on the running guy's shoulder. they went to the hatch so they could take it out but before that... sayid wanted to know his story. afterwards, when the wound was taken care of... he locked henry (that guy they caught) inside the empty gun safe, and then he tortured him. jack was furious coz he wanted to take him out but locke changed the safe's combination so they had this "petty fight" (LQ lang lol) when the hatch alarm went off making john open the safe and ran towards the computer,, and a little too late, he typed the codes but something

15: episode about claire (not claire
16: after sun being "attacked", jin became overlly protective. so its their flashback. twas the guy's third day inside the safe. john told ana lucia about him... talked to the guy.. (saying that they had a big-smiley hotair balloon cruise, then they crashed, wife dies and so on) making him draw a map where he said he buried his wife. ana lucia kept it from jack and locke, told sayid and charlie about it so they went inside the jungle and searched. sun is pregnant. weird bcoz jin couldnt produce any uh... yeah. he just cant, okay?! i dunno if its a sick miracle or what. its just weird. and no she didnt cheat. hopefully its not a patricia javier involved manuscript. anyway, jack let henry out for cereal, then henry just uttered "thank god im not one of them. coz i gave ana lucia a map (john, jack looking towards each other asking if they knew about it but..), you really had some trust issues. coz if im one of them, ill be trapping them in a secluded place, (i heard a word cave somewhere there.. <---oh this is me, xavier, talking) making my people get them in exchange of me. but, you know, thank god im not one of them. oh do you have milk?" O_o WEIRD PSYCHO!!!
i dont know what comes up next. its getting crazier i swear.

first, champ, hazel,
cecil's grandma's house were full of historical things. i mean cmon... the house is more than a century and it's got this 1860 vault, ref, study table, fire extinguisher and a lot more. ang ganda sobra. her grandma also wrote this cookbook WITH a lot of historical stories huh. sobrang wow. but the ghost stories... uh lets not talk about that.
sumakay kami sa elf (and hooray for ROTC huh), para magpunta sa fishpond nila. sumakay muna kami ng boat for 15 minutes. magkatabi si champ tsaka mamu, si hazel tsaka lea, then ako with manong captain. sigaw ng sigaw si mamu. daming kangkong huh. lol@kangkungan. no wonder rabbits love kangkong. pagdating dun and i jumped on this hammock coz it really looked fun and relaxing but no... tumaob ako, leaving a scratch sa aking left arm. and first thing na pagdating, para akong gumulong sa lupa dahil sa dumi. tawa kami ng tawa nina lea kasi mukha akong tanga dun. akala ko kami lang nakakita, yun pala buong family ni cecil. hahahahahahahaaha




tapos andami naming kinain. lets begin with lunch. tilapia (given na nasa tilapia fishpond kami AT ANG DAMI!), shrimps, crabs, wrapped rice, parus (ba yun? yung violet clams?) tapos nag-mangga pa sila. gamit lang namin eh dahon ng saging. tapos merienda, (in which i truly enjoyed!!!!) cheetos, tostitos, cheese dip, spuds bbq, la-la at kung anu ano pa. then naglaro kami ng 123 pass. tapos naglakad sa mga pilapil, nagcamwhore sa gitna ng bukid, waited for sunset, namangka, nangisda, nagduyan, nagbonfire, naggitara at naglakad lakad. not to mention (na ngayon lang ako nakakita) a tree full of fireflies. at ang tandem namin ni champ na crocodile hunters (plus the accents). priceless.
then sobrang pagod... hinatid kami ni champuy sa kanya kanyang bahay. tenks brader. babawi ako by selling the shirts. and i promise next month when i renew my license.. ako na ang official driver mo. promise yan.
sobra sobrang memorable. educational yet relaxing. next stop... ilocos. hehehe. and boracay. let summer begin. :D

Ryan.
season 2 showed ryan being "observed" in sommerholt institute, had a headache then nosebleed, made the doctor divert his attention to his assistant, escaped and crawled inside the air vent and made a call to the kents. clark eventually helped him escape, doctor went to the authorities but lex stopped it by calling some lawyers and investigators. ryan told that his aunt freaked out the moment she discovered ryan's abilities when he had a checkup after his frequent headaches and nosebleeds reason why he was sent to sommerholt for observation. during his visit to lex's mansion, seeing lex's first issue of his favorite comic "warrior angel", he had a severe headache which caused him to collapse. he was rushed to smallville hospital, then clark discovered that he had a big brain tumor (reason why he had ESP), which was made severe during the experiment at sommerholt. lex knew a doctor that could make his tumor shrink but that doctor is leaving for helsinki. using his sonic speed, clark went straight to the doctor and had the biggest hope that ryan would survive after that famous doctor perform his surgery on ryan. unfortunately, nothing happened. when clark visited him at the hospital.. ryan said.. "every year for my birthday, i wish for my own aerodrome, so i could fly high above the earth. up there it would seem that all problems are small and far away." then he had an attack that seemed so painful saying that everythings loud. so clark got a hotair balloon then made everything perfect for ryan. and i swear... when dishwalla's angels and devils played with ryan saying that everything's perfect and clark shouldnt be angry or sad coz he changed his life... i just realized..
oh shit. i am really such a drama sucker.

forty four sunsets

i churn everytime your memory brushes in the back of my head.
because i seriously dont want to think about you anymore. believe me,
im not a big fan of bitterness. its just that theres this part of me
that has been dying to burn since you left me unnoticed. i also try to
freudly psychoanalyze what has happened and now i just embraced the
fact that there are a lot of things that shouldnt be lingering around
my head anymore. thank god for sanity.
were there any dreams shattered? coz the entrails of my heart
believed that i never encouraged plans with you. although i hoped for
the best that this would never end. i am always wounded, not that i
overevaluate things, but i just sense a pattern that maybe... some
things are really not meant for me. happiness is a very big word, trust
me. and i noticed that i am the type that was caught between being the
small-things-could-make-me-happy kind to being the uncontented.
...at ang jacket mong nabubulok sa sulok, na inaalikabok na sa lungkot... as
ebe dancel sings in my player... i thought of.. what the fuck, this is
not highschool. i am not gonna go sappy over a song out of being
nostalgic or whatever that is. it creeped all over my nerves, heart
goes heavy, and i try to stop my tears to fall. but i couldnt. coz in
every corner of this room are all of your little things that i couldnt
make myself gather and throw away. not that i expect for you to come
back and go pretend that everything will be alright by then.
it will never be alright.
coz no matter how beautiful this sunset is in front me.. no matter
how many kites fly around the pink and purple sky, no matter how long i
try to hold on that image that my heart could not contain... it will
still end. and maybe theres the big possibility of tomorrow's sunrise..
but the kites that flew, the sky that mid-afternoon, and the perfect warmth
of the sunset that very instance... will never ever be the same.
though i would be wishing for forty-four sunsets just to make myself
hold on to that surreal moment.. something tells.. that will never ever
be granted.
a perfect sunday.
so nagkita kami ni anna then went straight to that coca cola event with hale. (at ang
then we had dinner somewhere in baclaran (g squared ata. parang dampa.) and ate A LOT. 4 big plates of shrimps, 2 crab plates, liempo, baked tahong, ugh. i have never been that full since january's fiesta. hinatid nila ako sa may amin afterwards. i love you mamu!!! :D (daming pics pero next time na)
then pag-uwi.. got a message from mad abril.. loving my review and he said hes excited to read my article for the next issue. sobrang saya. went to che, watched a lil of pbb, then gabby said "i want to be a painter AND a drummer when i grow up." :D dads smiling so big.
now im here in front of my pc. getting all 10 episodes ng smallville season 5. what more could i ask for. i love you papa god. :)

cueshe manager slams hale.
enjoy the link guys.
im not a fan of the media circus. pero kung ganito ang gagawin ng mga managers para makuha nila ang loob ng sambayanan (not to mention their lame attempt of "im-gonna-tell-sa-homeboy-na-driver-ako-dati-with-matching-iyak"), lets expect a new show competing maalala mo kaya or magpakailanman. and cueshe as your regular letter reader. oh maybe a performance after the show.
"Paano silang magiging sought-after when according to their own website, they only have seven to eight gigs per month? At least ang Cueshe, araw-araw may show that pays well. Hale is managed by their record label and if one is going to use common sense, then they are probably mostly booked for shows that just sell the album. Then again, common sense is not so common." - ako nga nadapa e. huhuhuhuhu. do we really have to correct him with the seven/eight gig per month? he couldve done some good research before yakking like a fuckless poodle. and shit about defining common sense. id rather talk to ms melanie marquez than this labandera/palengkera-like fag.
a personal note to ms./mr. myke whoever... as i would quote you that cueshe would never point out the merits of their song because that's something "real artists" dont do.. because dear.. you have to define whats a real artist first. the fact to the matter is... they never were.
respect will be a lot hard for you to earn by now. and its really hard to have co-workers in the industry that dont like your band's attitude and the materials they create. and a few knocks to that big empty skull of yours.. you will never EVER get the respect youve been blabbing for. ever.
you are but a badmouthed ambitious pity-party-junkie attention-hungry son of a bitch. (and as much as i wanted to run over a few adjectives.. itd never be enough)
stop being such a wuss. you look like you want a career after managing huh. im sorry but jobert sucaldito and john lapuz could takeover the buzz just in case mr abunda and ms aquino retires. so lets just shut the banghole now. hush hush.

the gone.
tuesday morning... my mother called at around 10am. namatay daw yung childhood friend ko. he was shot three times sa may tindahan nila sa mismong bahay lang nila. according to the investigators... professional killer daw kasi yung bullet na ginamit sa kanya eh yung mahal na sumasabog pa raw. hanggang ngayon wala kaming lead dahil mashadong malihim ang taong yon. i was dumbfounded and suddenly burst into tears. napakatagal ko na atang umiyak para sa mga lumisan. i just hate mournings. iniisip ko, maybe i was just going along with the drama. kaya inubos ko na sa bahay ang pag-iyak. coz everything just flashed. sabay kasi kaming lumaki. our moms are best of friends until nung nagaway sila dahil sa business. and he was the one who made a way para magkausap sila. nung naholdap din ako last 2001, sha rin ang naghanap kung taga saan yung holduppers. hinunting nya pero i just told him na wag ng galawin at baka mapano pa sya. in fact, he's one of the nicest friends ive had, too bad we grew apart. pero sa tuwing magkikita kami... lahat ata ng storya sa buhay ko nakkwento ko. wala akong tinatago. ganun ako kakampante.
grief after somebody who died is always the common mistake i thought. mas maraming problema sa mundo. mabuti nga yung tapos na. pero when i saw him lying there... i cant believe umiyak uli ako. coz again and again... alam kong hindi sha dapat namatay sa ganong paraan. kung iisipin nyong gagawa ng ilegal yun, hindi rin talaga. may prinsipyo ang taong yon. may mga naisip na rin ako kung bat may gumawa sa kanya nun kahit wala shang kaaway. at lahat kaming naging kaibigan nya... iisa lang ang naiisip.
and to break the ice... may sisiw dun sa casket nya. lumang kasabihan para daw mabagabag ang kunsensya ng pumatay. sabi ng isang 25 yr-old-girl.. "bakit po may sisiw? favorite nya ba yun? *sobrang wondering face*", she was asking my friend's mom. sa isip ko... "eh pano ako giraffe yung favorite ko?"
*pause. somebody just called*

i posted a long email sending it as a special notice in our yahoogroup. to my disbelief... i got this reply... it woke me up AT pinatulan ko.
xavier: (i posted a long one so yung excerpt lang ng pinuna nya ang ipopost ko.) "...lets give them the rest, the time and the space they really deserve. hindi po sila de baterya na gaya nung unggoy na may hawak na cymbals. sila po ay marunong mapagod. may mga moods at may mga mahal sa buhay na nahihirapan sa mga pasaway jan..."
katrina reyes: "i think bunny rabbit ung may batteries...energizer battery..."
xavier: "it was originally the monkey with cymbals. energizer just adapted the idea."
katrina reyes: "but you were referring to the battery-run thingy right... the monkey was a wind up toy...its never been battery operated..."
xavier: "wow and it was a big deal huh.
http://toytent.com/TrueReplica/4230.html and since youve said it has NEVER BEEN battery operated... i guess this would be a big help. enjoy the link. :)"
katrina reyes: "looks like it was a big deal for you..."
xavier: "oo naman. :) since being corrected over a very petty thing is annoying and yet a bit amusing. lalo na kung mali naman yung issues nya.
my bad. did i ruin your morning?"
and sadly... i didnt get a reply. some people are just so dense. weirder thing... minsan masarap patulan. lol
