a new gamestop shop has opened at park square 1. i'm not sure when but i think they're kinda new, there isn't even much on display yet. but as far as i was concerned, they had all that they needed to display: a brand new playstation 3 with a 60gig hard drive for only Php25,000! i want one! i found myself staring at the display box for about 5 minutes and i haven't even noticed. sheesh! the xbox 360 looks cool too but i'm still more inclined to getting the ps3. if only they would break the ps3 a bit faster..

Sleepy...

i am so sleepy today.. i can't even think straight.. it's all jack bauer of the 24 series' fault (we finished another season last night after a long marathon of episodes).. i already went downstairs to get a swig of cobra (an energy drink) to try and wake me up but to no avail.. i feel the floor pulling me down.. i'll be starting a new season later tonight.. good luck to me getting up tomorrow morning..

security guards have a funny way of not knowing anything about what they are actually doing. they're just blindly following the instructions given them without really understanding the reasons behind why they are doing it. a classic example was during this past weekend. i had to accompany my wife to a video editing at a dumb little office named tape. it was located inside a cheap looking condo. upon arriving there, it was raining hard and we asked the guards for a place for me to park. they asked, "where are you going?" i answered, "tape office." "sorry, the parking lot is full. you just have to turn around and park outside on the street." so that's what i did. upon reaching the parking lot to drive through it, lo and behold, the parking lot was huge and had more than enough room to accomodate my car. having seen it that way, i parked on an empty spot alongside the run area. i took my wife to the elevator and the guard asked again for the nth time, "what unit are you going to?" man, we were really annoyed by now and we said that the unit we were visiting had a parking space that we could use. and even if it didn't, the vacant area of the lot was big enough to park a plane. but mr. know-it-all here said that it was full and i couln't remain where i was parked because other cars would not be able to get through. so i asked in a most sarcastic way, "how big exactly are the cars that park here? or do your tennants land their airplanes here? do you understand that we can park here because the office we are going to has its own parking space that visitors can use?" to save my own sanity and to bring this nonsensical conversation to an end, i finally told the guard, "forget it! i'll park on the street! that way you'll be able to sleep tonight since your bothered so much about my parking here!" sorry, i just really dislike guards that can never give me a logical explanation to anything. so as i write this, i'm parked on the street with squishy crocs due to the rain and waiting for my wife, thanks to mr. guard who i feel really needs to drink more eq developing milk.

Stupid Cop!

i was on my way to quezon city from my place at makati. i drove down kalayaan avenue as i always do and as i made my usual left turn at makati avenue i was greeted by a horde of oncoming vehicles and a police car that was stopped in the middle of my lane. take note that where i had made my left was never officially a one way street. i had to stop eventually due to the oncoming traffic. it was never against the law to make a left there except if there was some incompetent "traffic enforcer" at the intersection. then one of the cops started walking towards me. take note that he was a police officer NOT a traffic enforcer. he said that i had violated a no left turn sign and was asking for my license. since he wasn't a traffic cop, i never showed him my license. so i asked him where the sign was and he couldn't show me. you know why? because there wasn't any, that's why! then he asked me where i was from so i answered, "makati". finally he showed me a one way sign at the corner of where i came from so i explained it to him that that wasn't a no-left-turn sign, it was a one way sign that would prevent motorists from entering the street where i came from. surely he would know the difference right? buthe was out to see if i would fall prey to his pathetic ploy. finding no other way to nail me, he finally said he'd let me off the hook in the meantime and warned me not to do it again. then he threatened me saying, "don't go acting cocky just because you're from makati.." "what?!" i asked him. "i wasn't bragging that i was from makati or acting cocky. you asked me where i was from and i simply answered your question." (don't go thinking that all the people you threaten are as stupid as you, i said to myself). how low can these jerks get?! it was obvious all he wanted was a quick buck from me to get a snack! if he wasn't a "law enforcer" (ooh i'm soo scared!) and he didn't have a gun, he would have eaten knuckle sandwich, that scum bucket!

this song is dedicated to my wife.. the love of my life..

love of my life

sung by: michael w. smith

I am amazed when I look at you
I see you smiling back at me
It's like all my dreams come true

I am afraid if I lost you girl
I'd fall through the cracks
And lose my track in this crazy lonely world

Sometimes it's so hard to believe
When the nights can be so long
And faith gave me the strength
And kept me going on

You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are the love
The love of my life

Now here you are with midnight closing in
You take my hand as our shadows dance
With moonlite on your skin

I look in your eyes, I'm lost inside your kiss
I think if I'd never met you
about all the things I'd missed

Sometimes it's so hard to believe
When a love can be so strong
And faith give me the strength
And keep me holding on

You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are the love
The love of my life
