After N-Days of Summer

autumn's the mellow time

Autumn’s here! It’s really frakking here and I finally got the time and the energy and the urge to drag my lazy ass out of my very comfy room to go walk around the ‘hood and finally get that chance to stop and smell the flowers, err, in this case, see the crunchy yellow leaves.

I also finally managed to watch 500 Days of Summer and got to see what the fuss is all about. Props for the awesome awesome writing. It was soooo real and it hits you real deep. And it comes with an awesome OST too.

Favorite exchange of the movie:

Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

Via Storm Tracker:

Okay, so, WNBA.com is choosing its Photo of the Year. The first round of the voting gives fans  the chance to choose a photo for each specific team. Currently, they’re highlighting the Seattle Storm. So, Stormies, come on, let’s go vote!

I’m having a hard time choosing between the two below:

“Team Line-up”

passion

“Passion”

I like the first one (coz I’m crazy about wide shots lately) but I also really, really, really like the second photo coz the photographer practically just nailed Sue’s passion for the game with that shot. Plus add to that the fact that I’m such a (or used to be such a) rabid Sue Bird fan LOL.  Anyway, these awesome photos were taken by Terrence Vaccaro.

Hold My Hand

With a little love, and some tenderness
We’ll walk upon the water
We’ll rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
We’ll take the world together
We’ll take em by the hand

– Hootie & The Blowfish | Hold My Hand

On this day, I pray:

* That *our* vacation leave in December (and January) gets approved already (I have to pay about a hundred thousand yen by 11/13 you see).

* That my throat will stop being so problematic.

* That I will sleep well soon (that means no more scenes from Suicide Club in my head in the middle of the night).

* That Skins will soon air (haha, I don’t even know if they’re done filming, probably not yet).

* That people will stop attacking me in Castle Age. (-_-#)

* That Meemax remembers this THING for me \(^_^)/.

* That the nice things in my life right now will never ever end.

Lazy Sunday

In a desperate attempt to breathe life back into this blog, I must publish the following nonsense:

* It’s really annoying, how I manage to get up at eleven in the morning during the weekend no matter how late I slept the previous night. I used to be able to sleep up to 3pm. Is this what growing older’s about?

* The Yokohama Oktoberfest was a blast. Too bad we got there like 8 frikking 15 and the whole thing will close at 9pm. What on earth are you doing hosting an Oktoberfest that closes at 9pm?!

* So, see I got myself a new theme. And it was just because I was almost bored to tears so the most logical step would be to redesign the site’s appearance yet again.

* I wanna go somewhere and snap photos because srsly, I haven’t gone to anywhere since I came back from the Singapore – Thailand trip and I seriously need to put updates on my Flickr stream that don’t involve me. Maybe Hakone in November? All those pretty pretty colors — man, they just kill me, every frikkin’ year.

* I wonder, will I be able to see the 12-24mm Tokina that I bought tomorrow? *Makes parinig at Meemax and Moogs* 😛

* You are a believer, I am not — Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Believer.

Didn’t think you would trust me.
Thought you would see what I see.
This days have been good for me too,
But I can’t stay.
You know why.
Didn’t want this to end like this.
Thought I might could convert.
These nights have been sad for me too,
But I don’t pray.
You know why.

You are a believer,
I am not.

Didn’t think I could ever love,
So I had to destroy it all.
But you will do find someone new,
When I am gone.
You know why.

You are a believer,
I am not.
