... 24 hours in a day isn't enough. somebody in his ym status alternately stated "so many things to do, and so little time," and "around 1/4 of the population spend their time either sleeping (or making out.sic). such a waste of time". (that is, to quote, unquote mon)

anyway, the following eats most of my time:

1. far awt designs business- check out our products at the museo pambata gift shop and at the bookay-ukay bookstore, the coolest bookstore there is-good vibes, wonderful sounds, happy people, and an extensive collection of books. (when robert alejandro visited the place on its launch, he said 80 to 90% of his money goes to books. i can relate.) this is a bookstore cum inuman cum art and performance gallery cum tambayan cum surreal and existential place. see it for yourself to believe. it's in up village, beside tomato kick.

2. watching my newest dvds and vcds, and listening to my brand new cds. i got tons of new dvds and cds i dunno where to even put them. addition to my film collection are the ff:

*love in the time of cholera

*lolita

*the unbearable lightness of being

*my blueberry nights

*labyrinth (i kras u david bowie.)

*the little prince

*elephant

*elephant man

*the red violin

*waking life

*the joyluck club

*big time

*las noches de los girasoles (night of the sunflowers, my fave)

*the seventh sign

*i love huckabees

*the squid and the whale

*control

...these are just some of the few that i remember. the new cds i have are the ff:

*club 8-nouvelle

*club 8-club 8

*club 8-strangely beautiful

*labrador--goodbye susanne

*rita calypso-apocalypso

*saint etienne (double disc)-tales from turnpike house

*supergrass-road to rouen

*low millions-ex-girlfriends

*morrissey-you are the quarry

*a perfect circle-emotive ...these are also just some of the few i bought.

can't remember all those i've bought from the sale of universal records. i have spent around P3000 already on cds. the cds cost as low as P25. such luck there is.;D

3. on reading books-just like cds and dvds, i have splurged on a lot of books lately. these are just a few of the titles i can recall that i bought recently:

*half-lives (erica jong's wonderful book of poetry)

*the works of plato

*the portable faulkner

*the short stories of fyodor dostoevsky

*portrait of the artist as a young man-james joyce

*memories of my melancholy whores-gabriel garcia marquez

*like water for chocolate-laura esquivel

*charlie and the great glass elevator-roald dahl

*the mimpins-roald dahl

*the bridges of madison county-robert james waller

*brick journal (with journal entries of sylvia plath and pier paolo pasolini)

* bram stoker's dracula

*the voyage out-virginia woolf

*sister carrie-theodore dreiser

4. on pigging out, watching, cooking, sleeping, cuddling, clowning around, and just plain talking and walking with mike- the most precious of my time being spent.

5. on working-the usual routine of 8am to around 5 to 6 pm work.

6. on shameless plugging: please buy ms. nina lim-yuson's sketch book (btw, she's the president of museo pambata, and the sister of cheche lazaro). my feet and my shells which i have collected from my puerto galera visit, were featured in this sketch book. (hehe.paa ko lang po at shells ang na-feature.) i think it costs around P700. You may buy it from the museo pambata gift shop, ayt. i think proceeds of this will go to the atd foundation. so bili na kayo!

7. on going to different events-toy con 2008, moving loring art exhibit, ate lani's band-la luna's gigs, bookay bookstore launch, french and japanese film fests, and come friday, pedicab album launch at cubao x with chee and elena.

(photos to be posted soon.)

As she proceeds through the past and flows inexorably into the future, she begins her own parallel voyage, encounters snakes and spiders; she gradually moves from chaos to calm and emerges with nothing but love...

the irony in being an editor is that, you get to proofread and make corrections every day with each page of a textbook manuscript, but you just can't fucking fix your own life and its mistakes. the liquid paper and eraser just won't do. Currently listening to: wait and bleed-slipknot

losing ardor...
POSTED AT 09:16 PM

i'm losing ardor over things.

for one, work. but i have no choice. everybody's facing financial crisis, and the only thing i need to do is be grateful that i ain't bumming and not just asking money from other people (cus that sux).

two, farawtdesigns, my business. i'm trying to find inspiration to bring back that passion of creating things (accesories and stuff), but then again, sleep is a necessity and i spend my sundays either watching mike play bebang (his guitar), or just laze in the cushions.

three, writing. i'm chasing for my muse but she must be adrift somewhere. again, i'm deprived of sleep since work means i must spend nights here in the office alone and i have to meet the deadlines. (official time in sir jowi's monitor here in the office: READ-it says 8:53 pm). in fact, right now, im still here in the office, alone, punching letters in this keyboard while im sipping my strawberry flavored kool-aid and listening to jet's look what you've done.

fourth, over being optimistic. when you have just been to hell and back, the only thing you'll do is shield yourself against other people. pessimism had always been on my side, and when once, i took the risk of trying to go to the other side of the road (also known as optimism), i've realized, chances wasn't worth taking at all. mike has always been optimistic about things, and he always advises me to look on the brighter side of things, but, he won't be able to understand why i'm being such. as i've said, if you've experienced the downsides of being me in the past year, you'll know and you'll get to understand why this attitude pops up.

fifth, over friendster, yahoo, deviantart, youtubes and other online shits. my email and friendster account was hacked, and its not that i'm sourgraping or anything cus its just easy to make a new account, but i won't be able to find some of my long lost friends and classmates in grade school, highschool, college, former workmates, and my other contacts anymore. on my present account, i have around 58 friends already, while in my former account, i probably have around 500, of which, it would take so much time and effort to find those 442 whom i might have added (or vice versa) in my former account. friendster, youtube and deviantart, i must say, have been the territory of the hopeless, and the phonies 'cus that's where they display their pretensions.

enough said. i'm losing ardor over typing in this keyboard. i miss my bed already. the monitor's time reads 9:25pm.

Currently listening to: please please please-the smiths
