Disturbia

No, not one of Rihanna's recent offerings. But these are indeed disturbing. Whoever made these shots, I wonder.




And prepare yourself for this one.







I know. I was thinking of the same thing. Lol.

The Streak

In a few hours, and finally, my state of being awake shall cease. Not counting the 45minute sleep I've managed earlier the day, and the less than an hour nap before office proper, this would by far account for the longest time I am conscious. The last time I've had normal sleeping was tuesday, up to 7pm. So. Had I heeded the call of my friends to join the centennial parade for tuesday, that would've meant death for me earlier.

So. What have I done?
  • Tuesday Eve to Wednesday Dawn
  1. Went to work.
  2. Helped made a Ppt presentation. Of which will be in dire futility the morning afterwhich.
  3. Was commisioned for an OT, overtime, that is. And because I was Mr. Congeniality, I was all smiles. And an eye closed.
  4. More smiles. =) Di makapaghintay e. Yey.
  • Wednesday Morning to Wed Evening
  1. Arrived home, past 7am.
  2. Was horrified to have made an error in my project. Blah. Finished it off.
  3. Made a new record. Ate breakfast, bathed, dressed up. All in less than 30minutes. I owe it to Mama. She was immediately stressed when I came home because she was the one who prepared the meal and my semi-formal suit. Hay. miss na kita, mama.
  4. 8:30am. Went to Yuchengco Museum. Come worst. My bag snapped. The heat was scorching. My eyes were tired. The bus gave up on us passengers, so thank you taxi cab. Thank you traffic. Thank you precious legs, I had to run. Thank you time, for going slow I was late for 40minutes.
  5. Thank you, A/C. I would've appreciated more had the room been a lot colder. Yeah.
  6. Had a fun time. Then went for a stroll, the Ayala way. I never imagined that being left alone with the tall buildings would be so enjoying. And then, I went to CAS. More yey.
  7. More strolling. And tired myself even more by briskly walking. Oh well, at least I was eating majestically.
  8. Went to a mass. Part of the day's itinerary. Kelangan magpasalamat.
  9. Dined with friends.
  10. Good times ahead. :-P
  11. Went to work.

*Notice the absence of "Slept"*

  • Thursday Dawn up to-date
  1. Went home. 7:30am.
  2. Was scolded by dad. For slowly killing myself.
  3. Yey. 45minute sleep. Then made preparations for school.
  4. School.
  5. After-classes constituted some walking to and from, and window-shopping and lots of eating. And they were fun. But I was at the brink of shutdown. Symptoms? Feeling light-headed.
  6. Date with Blythe. Over pizza. But I was somewhere, virtually.
  7. Headed for work. And watched TV!
  8. Power nap.
  9. Now.

Right now, I yearn for sleep. What I would give for even a 4-hour sleep. Buti na lang talaga.

Softcore Rant

Hehe. Napa-update tuloy ako ng wala sa schedule. Negativity. Always the strong element that never fails to push me to write anew anything. Virtually anything.

Monday, November 5, 2007. You shall be remembered all throughout.

--> First and foremost, Migraine. My left temple kept throbbing up until the last minute. It felt like my heart kept pumping energy to the thousands of jackhammers inside my head. And my great capillaries, I swear, would have grown into arteries, actual size. I hope it's not tumor. And if it is, splendid relief. Death is most welcome.

--> Secondly, Insomnia. This great friend I've thought for months, and what a heap of joy to have realized that it had left me for someone more worthy. But no. The customer is back. With a vengeance. Sleep arrives at the most untimely moment, say, over dinner? It wouldn't be an exagerration to note that the soup[this time, the dreadful tinola], splattered over me when I reached for it from the end of the dining table. It could pass for stupidity, but no, I'll blame it for Insomnia. After 3am, it arrives, like an expected thief of the night, stashing away my precious sleep.

-->Thirdly, no reunion with HS friends. Tsk. Everyone's busy, and I'm busy catching up sleep during the day. Or playing PC games. Or reading this novel.

--> Next, this I wouldn't elaborate more. This is a secret. Hehe. Pero, nakakarelate ako sa'yo. Ok lang yan. You are goddamn honest, and I can't be like that. Especially in that aspect. Really a sensitive one. Haha! I'll do it. Focus. This is a new beginning.

Business.

--> The PSE trading this day all the more provided me the grimace. And I thought the main index would rally over the half percentage point cut made by the Fed. That's hefty, ok? Profit taking must be the culprit. I mean, the bourse could've made some edging over the long holiday, plus window-dressing. Companies would be posting strong corporate figures for 3rd quarter I assume, and these should be more than enough reason for a rally.

--> The Peso is at 43.55 per dollar. That's great news. At almost 12% appreciation, we are just behind the Indian Rupee as Asia's Top Performing currency. We could topple them. We shall.

--> The sad part. Oil, and crude, in the next few days, if the situations worsen, would breach $100 a barrel. That's oil crisis for us. It's already at $95-$96. I just hope it would plummet back to just $70-$80. An already high oil price would dampen our growth. We are aiming for at least 7% GDP for 2007.

Hay. Sad news. Sad news. I'm just a little depressed. Daming excuses, no?

V for Virus. V for Victims!

Sometimes, too much is really disgusting.

This is the case when your parents go out of their usual way, and act eerie. Creepy. In the spirit of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, we shall use "creepy". And may I suggest horrifying? We won't use weird in here, for it only pertains to HRH, Kristine Villanueva .[special mention!]

Anyway, my parents would probably pass if tested for senility. My dad is just a little over 50, and my mom is at her 47, but they have literally gone out of their own bounds. I don't know, some people would probably say they are just rekindling their relationship. Actually, they were in some kind of a rumble a few weeks before. Same encounters, minus the cussing, or the nagging, just plain talking non-stop. Rather boring, eh?

Digression. All Saints' Day was highlighted by this quasi-family bonding while watching a horror slash sci-fi slash blood-oozing rich scenes film, 28 weeks later . I think everyone should watch this one, especially those loving the science fiction. Although I've had enough of zombies. I still can't get past the trauma of seeing zombies with their sanities intact; they cry, they can remember, they plan things, they bond with friends, they even dress like cops, and are employed as cops!! ** Emotionally privileged walking corpses, zombies ought to be dumb!

Going back, after the movie, my mom lunged at my dad, and she started biting his leg. Talk about getting infected with the virus. And my dad fought back. They were even moving damn slow, just like zombies. Even running after the other. Tsk. Parents?! What did we do wrong? Is this your way of telling us that we are no longer a happy family? We could talk of these, in one sitting, over dinner? But why?!?!

There, friends, patrons, countrymen, you have marveled at such act worthy of the police's incident report. The truth of the matter is, it isn't appealling. It is appalling!

Contact a shrink for me. My siblings and I, we badly need one. And we'll pay for the bills that'll be incurred.

** The fate-forsaken film is titled Zombie Nation.

The Pile of Caca that we call Barangay Elections

Monday. I was bound for the polling precinct. My father was coaxing me to exercise suffrage. And so was my mom. He was in a telling mode that somebody may take my name and use it for selfish purposes. Had I been in good normal condition, I would've marched my way to the designated areas, but the lack of sleep the other night had forbidden me to do so. It was a rarity that I again was put back to the trails of insomnia. I've always had good, soundless sleeps for the lasts months, and I'm pretty sure I fall under the rein of Narcolepsy. Tsk.


Anyway, I'm just as glad that the noise barrage, of which they call campaigning, has ended. Dad and I both agree (another rarity, for we consider ourselves arch-nemesis of the other) that they are the ultimate examples time wastage, and pretension. We get to see them only during the election period, and we can't even understand their platforms, to think that we are in the barangay-level. Probably just a twist with this election edition is the roster of candidates. One of them is the perenially loser that we can call Ate Bess. Yes, she descends from the Las Pinas region, a kin of the Aguilar Clan and she has run for at least 3 terms of mayoralty in our city, all of which she lost. And now, she has gone down to the grassroots. The latest count provided by my elder brother stated that she could win this time. Relief relief.

I actually encountered one of the caravans they usually do at campaigns. All the loud noices coming out of their machines and their naked mouths are more than enough to box my ears and bleed them dry. Why must living be this..way? I swear I could've been desanguinated. A minute or two could've been a matter of life and death.
Also, FYI. According to the Omnibus Election code, you could sue these felonies under the crime [I categorize it under heinous] of Unjust Vexation. And yeah. I was vexed. At times, I blame this one for my disorientation. And probably, with why I can't sleep this days. My cochlea must've been loosened.
..Explains why I was a no-show to yesterday's national affair.

Seven Severities

Uh. Updates? Hmmm.. For wednesday, everything went to a slow. The day waaaas slow. But it was relatively fine. Just a few disappointments. *sigh* What do I expect?

1. Yay. Just had a minor argument with an overseas aunt. Tsk. Over the phone. Details would be spared from divulgence. It was, uh, normal naman. I mean, I had to assert myself. And weave a bunch of lies. She was a bit stern, but I kept on convincing myself and her for the reasons of my stay. I just felt a bit bad that all was in the works already, only one was pending. Ayan ha.

2. Finished some papers. And started working on my last project. Uggh. It drained me.

3. It would seem that the funds I am expecting would be delayed. I'm running low! Wahaha. Lately, I coerced myself to do a little audit of my expenditures, followed by a few grimaces. And I throw some of the receipts. One time, my mom saw them, and went to her rare monstrosity.

4. Speaking of my Mom, we haven't been much into speaking terms lately. Must've been that incident. She accused me for being arrogant. Haha. I think that was funny. It must be true. Ayus lang. Ma, I miss you. And 'wag na kasi paranoid, ok?

5. I went ballistic a while ago. The 1-km stretch that is the Alabang Rotonda did it. The traffic! It rivals EDSA! I was gaping at the horror of staying for almost an hour inside the jeepney. See 1km. There's no logic. And here's my favorite part. When I finally decided to walk, guess? The vehicles moved. And voila. No traffic. Another evidence of planetary conspiracy. Makes me wonder.

6. Learnt of a news. Gaaad.

7. Earlier this morning, Jerico got me into thinking, and it made me extremely weak. My knees were literally trembling. Haay. Saka na yan. Feeling ko, mauulit na naman ang trahedya ng highschool.

Struck

It is recently raining hard, and I could hear the thunderclap roaring. The midnight sky is temporarily lighted by occasional lightnings associated with those thunders. Geesh. Good thing I have with me my umbrella. Or I'd be soaking wet. It's thundering so bad that I catch myself so may times getting a glimpe of the outside world, chancing upon probably fallen angels with wings caught on fire.

Hmmm.. It seems that I've been so accustomed with this little activity. It's not so much of a big thing, but I'm actually a little obsessed with it. It makes me wanna wake up from my sleep everyday just to have even a slight glance.

Grabe. Not very much of a wrong thing. But I intend to let this one stay for a while. Y'know, that one, striking whilst the iron is hot. For this thing, probably, Mars has gotten itself struck by lightning. Zeus?
