After a not so inspired start for Ginebra they get to the Finals! Hehe, must get tickets!
With the victory, Ginebra, which secured an 18th championship appearance, became the first defending champion to return to the finals since Talk N’ Text pulled off the feat in the 2004-2005 Philippine Cup.

I’m no Buddhist monk, and I can’t say I’m in love with renunciation in itself, or traveling an hour or more to print out an article I’ve written, or missing out on the N.B.A. Finals. But at some point, I decided that, for me at least, happiness arose out of all I didn’t want or need, not all I did. And it seemed quite useful to take a clear, hard look at what really led to peace of mind or absorption (the closest I’ve come to understanding happiness). Not having a car gives me volumes not to think or worry about, and makes walks around the neighborhood a daily adventure. Lacking a cell phone and high-speed Internet, I have time to play ping-pong every evening, to write long letters to old friends and to go shopping for my sweetheart (or to track down old baubles for two kids who are now out in the world).

I liked this alot because I still haven’t developed that discipline in creation where you can force yourself to write/dance/code etc. It has to be from an overwhelming desire to do something. That’s my problem with work oft times, I pass mediocre (at least in my standards) whenever I have to code because of a deadline. I can only write stories when I am inspired, and I can’t sing alot of songs when I am not in love with somebody(like now).

Fortune Favors the Brave by Dr Chris Hart
Chances are your mother always told you to go for a nice guy. Someone who’s dependable, loving, committed and getting on in life. And who likes children.
Good advice, eh? So how come it’s so easy to fall for an out and out rogue? It’s all to do with how bravery’s so seductive. Having a big brave guy at your side – even if only to boost your ego – is pretty irresistible, isn’t it? But what about the sensitive, caring ‘new men’ we’re all supposed to admire? Yes, well maybe. But heroism and risk-taking’s what really gets to us. You prefer a brave man to a wimp, don’t you? Both for a partner or as a friend? Maybe because in the past women needed brave men to protect them and their children. A man who could hunt well and provide food. Even now, in our violent world, having a man around who’s willing to protect you feels like a good idea.
Finding out about yourself is something not for the feint of heart. its something that a lot of people say they aim for but not really do. A lot of people subscribe to the maxim “Ignorance is Bliss”. I am not one of those people. I delude myself knowingly. I bask in the complexity of my inconsistencies, The inaccuracies of being true to something as ephemeral as the concept of me. Just hope the people I love and who love me understands that sometimes sometimes we do things and we do not understand why.
I intentionally went to work at around noon and left work at around midnight, this was all done to ensure that I would be at the MRT station after midnight!
Some observations:
-I have to confess a certain fantasy that a scene in my sassy girl would be repeated. (No Go)
-I had to wait about 18 minutes for the train to arrive. I am told that the trains arrive every thirty minutes, but it also depends on the number or people wanting to ride, they adjust depending on demand.
-It’s either surprising because the plain was relatively full without being shoulder to shoulder with other people being the first day, or it is full because it is the first day, I suspect a combination of these two.
-It’s surprising for me that most people were going out at the north avenue station not the cubao station. I believe this is because after around 5 stations taking the mrt is more economical than other transport options.
-I was unlucky enough to be caught in the middle of the downpour. Half of my body was wet.
-Surprising how many of my friends were awake at midnight.
A me and a couple of friends were arguing awhile last thursday about the most populous and also about population density of cities, based on wikipedia I was wrong and tokyo is both more populous and had a higher population density than seoul, but based on 2007 figures the population density of seoul is higher, but the argument is useles because Karachi,Cairo,Kolkota, and Mumbai has about twice the population densities of both tokyo and seoul. The scary thing is that if we trust wikipedia the manila and alot of the other cities that comprise the metro manila have population densities that are about 2-10x higher than that of karachi, this is wierd to me and does not pass the smell test, don’t know but this is really surprising for me.
I started out having an awful migraine, I woke up at around 5.30 but really couldn’t force myself to standup, slept till 10.30 and finally was at work by 12.30 in th afternoon. I was unproductive for about 2 hours , but as I was coding the migraine subsided from my consciousness and now I am okay. (This was written aroun 4pm)
It’s now 9:23 pm, have to say that I did less coding and more analysis of the code that I was going to update, which waas a bummer, I love coding, and the highlight of the day is another hastily planned trip for this weekend, hope everything turns out fine! I’ve been wanting to go to anilao since about two weeks ago, and finally flund people to go with me! hehehe, thanks friends!
On another happy note, because ofthe late start of my workday, I can sample the 24 hour MRT test run they are doing for today.
I remember this The West Wing scene where toby is elated with having someone confirmed as judge., and strangely the scene where president bartlett talks with a very old supreme court judge slowly becoming senile, the judge says “Who can you get me?, I need someone who ahs a body of work….. I am much better than them in my worst days (on talking about anyone that bartlett can get confirmed)”. Strangely, I feel that Sonia Sotomayor can actually pass mustard with that judge.
Kudos to the obama whitehouse, we take the victories that we can. Hope the honorable
I don’t know
I don’t know seems like running away is the easiest and most rational thing to do but I feel that it’s not for me.
I know I’ve said that I’m okay, but every time I see her I’m not.
It’s just who I am, I am a the kind of person whose blood still boils from an insult as far back as the 3rd grade.
I just never learned to forget, what I know hot to do is to replace.
Replace memories with other memories , but how can you replace when you just can’t find any emotion not anger.
I’m trapped between replacing the previous emotion with another emotion, and I care too much to replace that thing with anger. I’d rather be in hell.
just want to forget, can i just run away?
