Hello? Hello?

Are you there?

Hello?

I just have this one silly question.

What’s taking you so long?

Really — what?

———————-

This is just me losing my touch. I can’t seem to write my usual crap nowadays. Oh well, whatever. As if that bothers me :p

PS — Still on my Veronica Mars Season 1 Marathon. San-san (my Sansa E270 player) conked out in the middle of Episode 17 earlier. Bummer.

PPS — Strong quake last night (it is now early morning, you know), magnitude 6.8 that lasted more than 20 seconds. I was shaking in my, uh, room socks.

PPPS — Brawl in The Palace of Auburn Hills. Haven’t watched the vid yet (Veronica Mars muna hehe) but I read that Candace Parker and Delisha Milton-Jones of the L.A. SpOrks and Plenette Pierson and Asst. Coach Rick Mahorn of the Detroit Thugs -este- Shock were ejected. Nasty. The league does not need things like this.

You know those people who can predict when change is coming in their life? I’m not one of them. Change has a way of just walking up and punching me in the face.

“At this moment there are 6470818671 people in the world, some are running scared, some are coming home, some tell lies to make it through the day, others are just not facing the truth, some are evil men at war with good, and some are good struggling with evil, six billion people in the world, six billion souls, and sometimes, all you need is one.”

– Peyton (One Tree Hill)

mamayang gabi maghuhugas ako ng plato,
magpaplantsa na rin ng mga damit ko,
magsasampay na ng nakalimutang labada,
para kunyari ayos lang na wala ka na.

mamayang gabi isasaayos ko ang magulo,
liligpitin mga nakakalat na alaala mo.
isasalansan, itatabi, sa kabinet ang tungo,
nang lumuwag man kahit konti ang mundo.

mamayang gabi maghuhugas ako ng plato,
lahat siguro ng pwedeng gawin gagawin ko,
para di na ko mag-isip ng kung anu-ano,
gaya ng kung iniisip mo pa rin kaya ako.

acrophobia, falling, fear of heights

bakit ba ang lalim naman yata nito?
puro paa’t kawalan ang nakikita ko.
kakaibang takot, nakakasira ng ulo,
sa kinatatayuan ko’y mukhang mapapako.

bakit ba may nanunulak na lang bigla?
kitang-kita mo nang hindi pa nga handa.
una-ulo kaya akong makikipagkilala
sa sementong matagal nang tumitingala?

bakit kaya ang lalim ng babagsakan ko?
aba’y hindi na talaga nakakaaliw ito.
ayos lang sana kung mayroong sasalo
o kaya hawak na lang sana ang kamay mo.

Jumping Over the Cliff with the Rest of the Lemmings

Lemmings jump off a cliff to what — their death? Pretty damn senseless, I say.

But who am I to criticize? Hell if I know what pleasure they get from plunging into the (possibly) rocky waters below. So I’ll shut up and stew about this on my own.

Hmmm. Yeah. I think that’s better.

########

Ha, but the whole suicidal lemming thing is actually just a myth. Lemmings migrate in scores and those at the front of the pack just get pushed off the cliff because all those at the back are in such a hurry to move move move move. But hey, knowing the actual fact renders the whole thing boring. So let’s just pretend that they actually want to jump off a cliff ten thousand feet high and they do that — I dunno, just for fun?

Yeah. I think that’s better.

Can’t write anymore. So I resort to micro-blogging. Heehee.

① I missed an awesome game this morning. Seattle @ Phoenix with the Storm winning and LJ racking up 25 points. But gone are the days that I would actually get up at the crack of dawn (read: 4am) just to catch a game that wasn’t even on webcast. But still, it was Phoenix. Bummer. Great win (a road win at that — home game with scores of camp kids screaming at a high pitch) though.

② I’m two days behind in uploading my Project 365 shots. Sue me, whatever. I have the right to get tired of it, too, you know.

③ Sooooo damn tired. But it’s Friday. So I guess, everything’s gonna be alright. If all things can be simplified that way (if friday then it’s okay blah blah, invent your own logic, lowly peons heehee), people don’t have to worry about losing their minds all the freakin’ time.

④ “Bawal ka magreklamo, kasi isa ka pang sobrang malabo din” — or something to that effect. Oh, you know me, I complain A LOT. But you know that I wouldn’t change a thing, right? And yeah, that statement is so so soooo true.

⑤ Windows task scheduler + Audacity (or some other recording tool). Use ’em next time the Stormies play early or swing to the East Coast. (Thanks, Moogs!)

⑥ The last three spots for the US Basketball WNT were filled. Swin Cash was notified last week that she wouldn’t be on that list. Indeed. The roster is now complete with the addition of Delisha Milton-Jones (F LA SpOrks — UGH!), Tamika Catchings (F Indiana Fever), and Kara Lawson (G Sacramento Monarchs). Well, at least they let in a point guard to help Sue. Good luck to the US Women though, Australia’s pretty pumped up and hello, they got LJ! Who to root for — that’s gonna be my biggest problem come Olympics time wahahaha.

⑦ Hanging out while plastered on the cement isn’t what it’s cracked up to be — I thought this would equate to the end of the world, but it actually didn’t. I dunno what’s going on. (O eh ano naman ang bago dun?)

⑧ OMFG, I’M GOING TO MISS THE GAME AGAINST THE SPORKS ON SUNDAY! Depressing waaaaah!

The 9:26 Train (of Thoughts)

“This platform is made of cement. I wonder how it would actually feel if you fell face-flat on it — from, say, about 100 meters above ground level.”

I can’t compute the Vf right now but if this stays in my mind, I might just solve it when I reach the office.

— o —-

“Here comes the 926. Is this car gonna be near the stairs at Shin-Yurigaoka? I should have known this a long time ago but I just really have no idea.”

— o —-

“Doors … closing doors … opening doors … knocking on doors … answering the knocks on doors …”

I’ve started reading “Neverwhere” by Neil Gaiman and I hope I’ll finish it so I’d have something more concrete to say about Doors. It’s a promising story though so I SHOULD really read it. Blah, I said that about The Hours and look at me now — not even halfway through the blasted thing.

“Events are cowards. They do not occur singly … instead they would run in packs and leap at you all at once.”

[EXT. HOTEL MONACO – FRONT SIDEWALK – DAY — CONTINUOUS]

(Standing down below on the sidewalk in front of the Hotel Monaco, GRISSOM looks up at the roof and speaks into the walkie-talkie. Behind him, a large crowd of spectators gather just beyond the crime scene tape.)

GIL GRISSOM: (to radio) All right, Nick, standing by for Operation Norman. Let him fly.

(The first crash dummy “body” flies off of the rooftop and crashes to the
sidewalk in front of GRISSOM with a thud.)

SPECTATOR (MALE): Oh!

(The large crowd of spectators applaud. GRISSOM looks up and around at them, surprised by their reaction.)

(The second crash dummy flies off of the rooftop and onto the sidewalk below. The crowd cheers.)

(The third and final crash dummy flies off of the rooftop and lands with a thud. The crowd applauds.)

(GRISSOM raises his hand and acknowledges them as he walks toward the dummies.)

GIL GRISSOM: Yes, yes.

(GRISSOM raises his camera.)

GIL GRISSOM: Norman “pushed”.

(He takes pictures of the dummy. He turns to snap photos of the second dummy.)

GIL GRISSOM: Norman “jumped”.

(GRISSOM takes pictures of the third dummy.)

GIL GRISSOM: Norman “fell”.

SARA SIDLE: (o.s.) Wouldn’t you if you were married to Mrs. Roper?

(At the sound of her voice, GRISSOM puts the camera down. Behind him, SARA puts her bag down on the ground, a huge grin on her face.)

GIL GRISSOM: I don’t even have to turn around. Sara Sidle.

SARA SIDLE: That’s me. Still tossing simulation dummies? There are other ways to tell, you know?

GIL GRISSOM: How? Computer simulation? No thanks. I’m a scientist I like to see it. Newton dropped the apple, I drop dummies.

SARA SIDLE: You’re old school.

GIL GRISSOM: Exactly. And this guy was pushed.

— o —-

Season 1.

Episode 2.

“Cool Changes”.

It’s actually the first time Sara Sidle appears in CSI.

— o —-

Kaito Nakamura. Lying on the ground. Bloodied after a hooded someone ran at him and they fell off the rooftop ledge together.

Heroes. Season 2. Episode 1.

— o —-

“What are you doing?”

“Something unexpected.”

– Claude, Peter (Heroes Season 1, Episode 16, “Unexpected”)

— o —-

“When we embrace what lies within, our potential has no limit. The future is filled with promise; the present rife with expectation. When we deny our instinct, and struggle against our deepest urges, uncertainty begins. Where does this path lead? When will the changes end? Is this transformation a gift or a curse? For those who fear what lies ahead, the most important question of all: Can we ever really change what we are?”

– Heroes Season 1 Episode 13 “The Fix”

— o —-

“You threw me off of a thirty story building! If I didn’t regenerate, I’d be dead!”

“You could’ve flown! Listen, if you hadn’t worked this one out, you’d’ve been hopeless anyway. And I’d have defused the biggest bomb ever.”

– Peter, Claude

Season 1 Episode 14 “Distractions”

— o —-

Figurative toss coin.

Heads — I’ll continue reading Gaiman.

Tails — I’ll succumb to the call of Morpheus.

Flip.

Tails.

Oh well. I hope someone (Ish? Just?) wakes me up in Shin-Yokohama.

— o —-

“Shin-Yokohama desu … Shin-Yokohama desu …”

I wake.

Oh crap, is it Shin-Yoko already?

Ugh.
