The universe and the human mind have a lot of mysteries we cant fully grasp nor understand. On times like the Mercury Retrograding or PMS, I'm sorry girls but you're letting the guys be the shock absorber of the universe's misery... or just yours.
Personally, I try to "get" it. I really try. But I am also affected by that freakin' retrograde and my patience is too short. Add the fact that my blood pressure is embarrassingly high.
To get things off my mind, I decided to go the mall and grabbed Charlie's dog food and two books; The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield and Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I rarely visit the bookstore nowadays so I just impulsively got both. Went to Secret Recipe's and annoyingly waited for a Lasagna that seemed to have a cooking time of Forever.
Went home, sent angry texts *lolwat* then watched Jaden Smith's Karate Kid. Good thing I didn't expect it was a great movie coz it somehow redeemed my mood.
wutev. Ill sleep now and expect a greater day.

Hostage Drama.
I woke up and still devastated about what had happened. Waking up to bad news, bad status updates, and bad tweets will make you want to not go outside and hide like a hermit crab.
Yesterday, August 23, Rolando Mendoza hi-jacked a bus with chinese and some british tourists. While I was in a cab going to work, Ive heard that he had already released 7 of his hostages. I can also recall the police being interviewed that "everything seemed to turn out well."
But at around 7pm, I overheard some people talking that all of the hostages remained was killed according to the driver, who escaped from his cuffs and out the bus window. My heart pumped and thought... Oh my God what just happened.
By the time I was home, rain was pouring so hard and I got the chance to watch it closely on TV and had a LOT of questions for our policemen, and the officials who were supposed to handle this well. I was also curious if they confirmed that everybody was dead.
Until I saw smoke coming out of the bus, and according to the newscaster, they gassed the hell out of him. Few minutes later, the hijacker got shot. I got really annoyed when all of the people around the vicinity rushed near the hostage area after the incident. And also to the fact that they werent even controlled by the police, who is actually trying to get in the bus without gas masks. Were they checking if the tear gas really worked? I mean logic. I watch too much police drama and the last time I checked, tear gas penetrates 10-peso flu masks. No stretchers for the bodies, and wait. MORE USISEROS.
To what Ive heard and seen today, the policemen (around... 15 or more) had only one mallet to shatter the windows. When they tried opening the bus door, the rope snapped.
Where the fuck are our equipments? Aren't we paying enough taxes... oh lets not go there. I know we just recently topped the Most Corrupt country in Asia. Woot woot *raise the roof*. /end of sarcasm
I am heartbroken, dismayed and really drained. As a citizen of this country, I would like to apologize for the incompetence of our cops to the families who lost a loved-one from this tragedy. I would also like to apologize from the badly-handled wounded bodies that they were trying to recover.
I think I should do this, bulleted.
I would like to apologize for:
- the absence of our President during the incident.
- the captured smile of our President during the incident.
- the unempathic, unapologetic speech of our President after the incident.
- for the lack of our equipments.
- for the lack of training.
- for the people who swarmed around the area where evidence could be gathered.
- for the media who exposed every movement of the policemen, while the gunman was watching TV.
- for the gunman's brother, who could actually win an award for being overly dramatic, being the possible reason why the gunman frantically shot his M-16.
- for the media for focusing their cameras on that moment.
- for the lack of logic, and strength of our policemen, who tied a rope to a door so they could pull it, knowing that it will just jam it more.
Or you should watch it in Youtube. That, you could see how horrifying stupidity is.
I'm never sorry that I'm Filipino. But we should say sorry for being too ignorant.
Especially to those who didn't deserve such tragedy.

This early rainy thursday.
I am now enjoying my 711 blueberry tea latte. The convenience of convenience stores. It actually made my morning right.
I am 3 hours early today. I didnt catch a good sleep since I keep on waking up every hour. Until I caught a weird dream (not as weird as my previous one) but this time, I woke up thinking.
I dreamt about my bestfriend. We fell apart since he had a may-december affair and I may say that I do not like the girl. Not because of anything but because of her attitude towards other people around me. Some, are my friends too. There were reunions that he missed, and all of our other friends are looking for him. Well im not his keeper. duhr.
So he was on this ledge (with a towel on it) on our gate and he was jumping up and down from there. I was at my room and I can see his head on our veranda. I ran up to him and said "belated happy birthday" since it was his birthday last month. End of Dream.
Then Ehboi and I were going to the office together this morning, Ehboi saw him sitting at the end of the jeepney and I didnt see him coz we were in a hurry. So I called him up after. I cant believe I have his number memorized.
According to the Dream Dictionary, "To see or use a towel in your dream, suggests that you need to deal with your emotions in order to move forward in your life. You need to find some sort of a resolution. Alternatively, it represents completion, a fresh start and new transition."
I tried texting him that I'm sorry I was a dick about his situation. That friends were supposed to stick with you, understanding your choices and judgments, but... I dont know. I'd rather talk to him personally about it. *sigh*

The Social Network.
This is too relevant to just take a pass on it and wait for the dvd release. The curiosity on how Mark Zuckerberg created facebook and the story behind it is finally on the big screen. Movie is entitled "The Social Network" starring Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake. Must Watch!!!

Tadhana - Up Dharma Down
Last week, UDD announced a new single for GMA's new soap and today, I heard the song which by the way, could stand on its own and I am a hundred dalmatian sure that this is gonna be a hit.
Oh the words. And Armi's enchanting voice.
Oh the words. And Armi's enchanting voice.

Tadhana - Up Dharma Down
Sa hindi inaaasahang pagtatagpo ng mga mundo
May minsan lang na nag-dugtong, damang-dama na ang ugong nito
Di pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat na hinding-hindi ko ipararanas saýo
Ibinubunyag ka ng iyong matang sumisigaw ng pag-sinta
Ba’t ‘di papatulan ang pag-suyong nag-kulang
Tayong umaasang hilaga’t kanluran
Ikaw ang hantungan at bilang kanlungan mo
Ako ang sasagip saýo
Saan nga ba patungo, nakayapak at nahihiwagaan
Ang bagyo ng tadhana ay dinadala ako sa init ng bisig mo
Ba’t di pa sabihin ang hindi mo maamin
Ipauubaya na lang ba ‘to sa hangin
‘Wag mong ikatakot ang bulong ng damdamin mo
Naririto ako’t nakikinig saýo
