dream recall: Dupan
we were in a room. and when i looked outside, it looked like at first an informal settler's community within a forest. but thats just what it looked like at first. upon closer inspection, it seemed like a place where human civilization managed to co-exist with nature. its like a place with a higher level of technology where houses and human communities can be built within a forest without disrupting the ecosystem. after seeing that, i looked around the room to see how many people i was with. it seemed more than 5 but less than 10. familiar faces that i know, no one new (eiln, dhirt, yarn, inni, nohj, cant remember the rest). i cant remember how i got there. it seemed that the last thing i remembered before waking up in that room was that eiln was tampering with my locker. after that, i woke up there and asked where we were. then i took my cellphone which gave me clues on what happened in between. it seemed like i switched personalities after the lock-tampering incident and getting to Dupan. in my phone (which was more technologically advanced) was a video of the trip to Dupan. we went there by bus, stopped by a mall to eat lunch (japanese food!). the mall, again, showed signs of higher level of technology. but the video were just short clips of the trip so it didnt really give a good picture of how i got there. and that dream of being in such a place somehow gave me a that refreshing feeling. something like reinvigorating. something i rarely feel. i wouldnt have wanted to wake up but it was already 11am and had a 1pm class. tsk. had to cut the dream short.
it was just an interesting dream. havent had an interesting one for weeks.

anyway, i was so hooked back then that i searched the internet (with a dial-up modem) for harry potter goodies. i even changed my PC's sound scheme so that when i maximized or minimized a window or when i shutdown the PC, the PC would make use of the spells from the book (such as Wingardium Leviosa, Avada Kedavra, Expecto Patronum...not sure of the spelling). i remember on my sophomore or junior year in college, i went alone for the first time to go to Sta Lucia Mall to buy some Harry Potter pins. i filled my backpack with those pins. i didnt even think how to get home! also, michelle, a family friend, gave me a harry potter shirt as a birthday gift, which i still wear until today.
i still dont know why i wasnt able to buy the fifth book. i knew i just never had the will to save up money for the fifth book but why i never had that will to save money to buy the book, i dont know why. maybe i lost interest. and when i entered law school, the more i forgot about it. only when the fifth movie was about to released that i started reading the books again. and after reading books five and six, i realized i still like the books, maybe not as much as before, but i still like it enough that i would feel bad after reading the seventh book knowing that it would be the last in the series.

what kind of cool are you?
Do your friends like to lean on your shoulder? Ask you for advice in life and love? Put you on speed-dial for emergencies? We bet they do. You're as balanced as they come. When it comes to making decisions, you're not afraid to take the time to weigh your options carefully in order to make the right choice. And it takes more than a few obstacles to rattle your cool head.
The good news is that you've also got lots of heart, and you make sure that people know that you always have their backs. There's almost nothing more important to you than the people in your life, so being a support to them is the coolest thing around. Just like you
What Kind of Cool Are You?
Brought to you by Tickle
what song are you?
YOUR song is Funky Town
Bold, outrageous, and unafraid to ham it up. Like your signature song, you're upbeat and tons of fun. When it comes to having a good time, your imagination knows no limits. Whether you're out on the town or at home with friends, you can be counted on to be the ringleader.
People are drawn to your lightheartedness and offbeat sense of humor. You're not one to take life too seriously, and that's why you're such a hoot to be around. Not to mention, you always manage to keep people guessing what you'll do next. Stay funky!
What's Your Song?

infected by the robots in disguise movie theme
Transformers
Something evil's watching over you
Comin' from the sky above
And there's nothing you can do
Prepare to strike
There'll be no place to run
When your caught within the grip
Of the evil Unicron
Transformers
More than meets the eye
Transformers
Robots in Disguise
Strong enough to break the bravest heart
So we have to pull together
We can't stay worlds apart
To stand divided we will surely fall
Until our darkest hour
When the light will save us all
Transformers
More than meets the eye
Transformers
Robots in Disguise
Transformers
Autobots wage their Battle
To destroy the evil forces
Of the Decepticons
It's judgment day and now we've made our stand
And for now the powers of darkness
Have been driven from our land
The Battle's over but the war has just begun
And this way it will remain til the day when all are one

memory fragment: skull ring
anyway, i miss my skull ring (i think i lost in on a tricycle, since my AP teacher forbid me to wear it, i kept it in my pocket, right pocket to be specific and when i ride the tricycle, sometimes the contents fall out, so i think that's where i lost it and i was really pissed when i got home to find out that my rings werent in my pocket anymore). ive been looking for something like the one i lost and well, it seems that skull rings like that wasnt that common (or im just not looking hard enough or im looking on the wrong places). i think stone cold steve austin also has a skull ring but im not sure if its the same as the one keith richards wear.
the skull ring that i used to wear looks like the pic below, 90% similar, mine had smaller forehead and rounder eye sockets.
memory fragment: highschool locker
the letters were supposed to represent the first letter of the names of my crushes back then. i remember what the letters V,E,G,J,C,U,G stand for. but i cant seem to recall who A and B are.

Mobius strip
anyway, ive been trying to recall what song mentioned Mobius strip in its lyrics. i kept thinking of alanis morissette until i gave up and googled it. the answer? nelly furtado's "Hey Man"
Hey, Man lyrics
Hey, man, don't look so scared.
You know I'm only testing you out.
Hey man, don't look so angry,
you're real close to figuring me out.
We are a part of a circle.
It's like a mobius strip,
and it goes round and round until it loses a link.
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again.
Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes,
so why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
I've got so many questions that I want to ask you.
I am so tired of mirrors- pour me a glass of your wine!
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again!
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door.
Each morning I try to send them back but they only send me more.
I look at myself in the mirror; am I vital today?
Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way!
And there's a shadow in the sky , and it looks like rain,
and shit is gonna fly once again,
and I don't mean to rain on your parade,
but pathos has got me once again...
and I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
I don't want ambivalence no more,
no I don't want ambivalence no more!
i had no idea what a mobius strip is so i had to check it on wikipedia.

bob dylan song
Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
blast from the past
here's some of the games i remember that involves a simple song before starting the game. these songs vary a bit from place to place (i think) but here are the versions i grew up with:
langit-lupa
langit lupa impyerno
im-im-impyerno
saksak puso
tulo ang dugo
patay
buhay
alis ka na dyan!
monkey monkey
monkey monkey anna belle
how many monkeys did you see?
(state any number, usually not more than 20, example, 3)
three!
one two three
and a rickity-kity (no idea what it should be, sounds like it) and a blue black sheep (or ship?)
i-spell Yes
Y-E-S
i-spell No
N-o
A-lis!

the soldier
i wonder if i should feel threatened. just woke up and had a dream, introducing myself to myself as robert. it was like a new personality introducing himself to me. now, that has never happened before (split personalities just happen). so it could really just be a dream and not a message from the subconcious. but he did make himself clear who he is. he's a disciplined, motivated and...umm...soldierlike SOB who likes to do things by the rules. in the dream, i was looking at myself in the mirror and i see a clean shaven version of myself (cos right now, i have a moustache and beard), saying to me that he was robert and i could call him bobby if i want. he described what he was like. he didnt say what his purpose was, but he did make me feel who he is. after that, i woke up.

sliding doors
anyway, this isnt about the movie. its really about alternate realities. its past midnight and i just had a thought that i might have just underwent something similar. unfortunately, it seems im on the not so good alternate reality.
few hours ago, i was contemplating on whether i should go to bicol or not. i decided not to go. weird part is, everyone except me, wants me to go or its fine for them for me to go. i dont really know why i dont want to go to bicol, i just felt like i shouldn't. its like the entire day was suited for me to go but i just kept stubbornly refusing to pick up my lazy ass and pack up. (aside from feeling i shouldn't go).
so, in comes "if" is the saddest word, and "what might have been" is the saddest phrase. i could have enjoyed myself if i allowed myself to go with my friends. but, for some reason, i just felt that i should avoid going to bicol or go somewhere and have fun. and right now im thinking, did i make the wrong turn? because looking at where things are heading, it seems the decision would lead to two entirely different versions of my life. why? because the set of decisions im going to make now would be different from the set of decisions i might make if i decided otherwise. right now, im making decisions that i would not face if i went to bicol. and these are life-changing decisions. but then again, my life is filled with wrong turns, so i guess i sort of expected it to end up this way.

dream recall
the good dreams usually kicks in around in the early morning, somewhere between 4am to 10am. usually, between 5am to 9am. and it sucks because it is also this time people wake me up! ok, maybe that's why i remember them. but i think its really like that because when i wake in the middle of the night, i dont recall a good dream, its just ordinary dreams where you get to conjure up a world not so different from reality. slight differences, but not interesting ones.
anyway, here's the dream. this one's a bit short, because this are the only ones i recall. im in a fastfood place. im lining up to order some food and from the looks of it, its early morning. there are already a bunch of people in the place. more or less 10-15 people. i notice a bunch of girls of the same age (how come good dreams need to have girls in them in order to be good...no, that's not true, it just so happens that there are girls in most instances), and a couple of elderly guys. i then turn my attention to the cashier. there's a guy ahead of me accompanied by a "special" kid. so, it took him quite some time to order his food. im fine with that. finally its my turn, but the guy ahead of me keeps interfering because he's not completely done ordering. ok, fine then. he even took the burger i already ordered. fine, it can be replaced, he did pay for it and he already touched it. i dont like strangers touching my food. so anyway, im ordered and for some reason, the cashier (pretty girl) and the store manager (less pretty but pretty nonetheless) acted like they knew me. i mean, the only thing left was say my name.
im done ordering, as usual, i try to find a nice spot (who doesnt). so i sat on one of those tables with benches, its "spacey". its a spot with less people on them. actually only then did i notice that all the people are on one side of the store. and the spot i chose was the isolated side. then i heard my name. it was the cashier telling me to go to the other side. they were trying to save energy. again, only then did i notice that the lights werent switched on on my side. that's why it had a "horror" film effect. so i transferred.
the only good spot left, where there was a table with a bench, was the one beside the elderly couple and the bunch of girls. i was a bit irritated because it was a bit crowded already. so i sat and started to eat. i noticed that the girl behind me was looking at my head. i was bald. so i said to her, "what are you looking at?" with a glare. she just kept looking. then the elderly people started talking to me. then the people in front of me also started making conversations. so i talked back, but it was a bit weird. i mean, its like all of us knew each other and making friendly conversations. it did not give a feeling of familiarity but it was a light and enjoyable conversation (with me flirting with the girl i glared at earlier). and people didnt start to talk with each other until i sat on that bench. it was a normal scene until i filled that vacant space. anyway, it ended abruptly because i was awakened by my brother knocking on my door saying that i have to move the van in the garage.

favorite ninja turtle
anyway, this is a bit of memory fragment but not quite. as a kid, i loved the cartoon series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (who doesn't? its like every kid back then liked the cartoon). my favorite among the four was Donatello, then Leonardo. Next is Michaelangelo and Raphael was last. The reason i liked Donatello the most is because he is the intelligent one. I've always liked the smart one in a group (back then of course, now, its the weird one or the screw up). As for Leonardo, its because he uses swords as his weapon and i liked the color blue. Now for the two remaining turtles, the reason why i liked Michaelangelo more is because of his fun-loving nature. that's it. its not because i like Raphael less, it just so happens the orange turtle is more likeable.
Now, i still like Donatello more, but Raphael would rank second and Leonardo last. Not much of a fan of team leaders.

dream recall
anyway, i just had this dream. not really weird. well, probably weird for most people's standards, but i would call it not usual.
so here i was. where exactly? korea! i have no idea why im there but im there. well, someplace more of koreatown (if there is a korean equivalent for chinatown). i figured im in "koreatown" because everyone's korean and i kept asking for directions and how to read the billboards/signs since they are in korean letters. so it started with me inside a room with other koreans. i think there were four of them (2 females and 2 males, one female was preganant). so five of us in a room. so what were we doing? something like an investigation. so there was this guy asking us questions. and like a movie, they spoke in english (well, in my dream, they spoke Tagalog) but the viewers know that its only done for convenience so there would be no need for subtitles. so, the interrogations went on, leading to the fact that the pregnant lady was the primary suspect for the death of her second husband. her first husband died too for undisclosed reasons. as for the other two, they were just there, i guess, also suspects. as for me, i have no idea what the crap's happening. it is as if im just a bystander and they didnt mind me being around. heck, there was even a yoga session for one the koreans to prove that she's really attending yoga sessions. so a yoga instructor arrives and do some yoga stuff. funny, that didnt look like yoga to me, but no one objected.
interrogation ends, all of us come out of the room. i was the last. so here i was going down a flight of stairs, catching up with the korean guy who was with me at the interrogation to ask him a question. and the question is: what brand of DVD player do you recommend? so the korean guy says, "i dont know". i explained, "i want to make sure i buy a good one since if i come back to the Philippines, i wont be able to return it or have it fixed in case in breaks down". ok, so im in korea, in my dream, just to buy a DVD player?
so i continue walking down the stairs, overtaking the pregnant korean since she's walking slowly. but after i pass her, i looked back and looked up at her. she's pretty. and she's just standing with a confused look on her face. holy crap! i think she's dizzy and she's at the topmost flight of the steps! so, like in the movie, she falls but fortunately, i was there to catch her. how nice.
so i assist her to a bench (where for some reason, the other two koreans we were just with were also sitting there) and ask her if she's ok. she's not responding. she's just staring at me blankly. so i keep asking her, is she ok? but she just kept sitting there. then, she suddenly made gestures and started speaking some korean syllables. wow, just like in some movies, the language suddenly shifts to korean just to show there's a language barrier. so i couldn't understand a thing she was saying. but i think she was telling the other koreans to go away. why? because after the gestures/signals and a bit of korean whatever-its-supposed-to-be, the two moved away. so we had some privacy. so i asked her again, is she ok? she said yes. finally, back to a language i understood. now that she's feeling better, im going to ask her the question that i need to ask so i could fulfill my purpose in this dream. but i didnt, i asked a different question. so, instead of asking for the good quality DVD players, i asked her out to lunch. what the? ok, im going out with a widowed pregnant could-be-murderer. at least she's a pretty korean chick.
ok, so we went to her van. yes, she drives a van. and i offered to drive it since i thought, making her drive might aggravate her pregnant condition. so i was about to drive the van and told her she gives me the direction to where she wants to eat. she says, "ok". and as i was about to get out the parking lot, i ask her whether i should turn right or turn left. no response. she's doing it again! i looked at her and she's pretending to be asleep! what the? this is some psycho bitch. so i turned the van around went back to the place we came from and parked the van near the two koreans we were just with who are now having coffee with some friends. they saw me with the pregnant chick, and they said, "are you willing to take such a risk?" and from the tone of their voice, it seems they were friends with the pregnant lady, who suddenly is awake now, smiling. this is some crazy bitch. anyway, the two added that she murdered her two husbands. so they knew, and they didnt want to tell it to the investigator guy. and you know what i said? i said "yes". and i added, "not much of a risk actually, its either i kill her first or she kills me". and one of them responded, "now that's some relationship". after a little more exchanges, i was really convinced to take this girl out even if she's some psycho killer.
i had to wake up. i was planning to watch TMNT.

memory fragment
dream recall
just had this dream a few days ago. i was going to watch a movie, which i do...habitually lately. so nothing strange there. went in the cinema house, and started looking for a seat. while looking for one, a girl on my left called me by my name. i looked at her. i dont know her, but apparently she knows me. she asked whether i could accompany her. obviously she's alone, and most likely she knew so was i. seeing that there wasnt a vacant seat beside her, i just kept walking and looking for a seat. so she then said that i save her a seat. ok fine. so i looked for two vacant adjacent seats. and when i found one, called her, and we watched the movie together. wow, that dream really felt nice. when i woke up, i was happy i dreamt that. i like those kind of dreams that just puts you into a good mood when you wake up in the morning. its not one of those that you like so much you want to go back to sleep and dream again. its simply the type of dream that brings the good mood on an unpredictable day. anyway, later that day, went to see a movie, Turistas. it was nothing like my dream, not that i was expecting it to happen but, it would have been nice. anyway, so far, that's the dream i can think of at the moment. no other dream seem to be standing out aside from that.

another strange feeling
Monday, February 26, 2007
basketcase!
Sometimes I give myself the creeps. Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me. It all keeps adding up. I think I'm cracking up. Am I just paranoid? Or I'm just stoned
I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams. She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down. I went to a whore, she said my life's a bore. So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down
Grasping to control, so I better hold on

test, test another one of those tests!
Result: Facilitator
Whether you know it or not, this is the role that is most in tune with who you are at your core. As a facilitator, you're admired for your thoughtful decision-making skills and sense of duty. You exude a quiet strength, and when others want something done right, you are often the one they turn to, even though you don't call attention to yourself, often preferring to work behind the scenes more than in visible leadership roles. You are a solid, dependable person with a keen mind for systems and can easily assess their accuracy and efficiency. Just watch out for your tendency to categorize everything — not everything is black and white — because it will cause you to miss out on the subtleties of life. As long as you're aware of how rigid you can be, your orderly, neat ways can help you be incredibly productive in this life, in part because you never feel compelled to be a slave to flash and/or trend.
The Love Test
Result: Independent Spirit
You appreciate having the space to do your own thing and don't tend to feel swayed by what others are up to. You're not the type who typically feels the need to hang out at the "cool" clubs or sample the latest restaurants just to say you have. In fact, you may not even know the latest buzz about those things since they really aren't important to you. You probably like to come up with your own ideas of how to spend an entertaining evening and with whom.
Love does change you. Whether it simply enhances who you already are, or makes you a completely different person, finding someone whose love personality compliments your own makes for the longest, happiest relationships.The Religion Test
Result: religions that value a unified world religion
Your belief system is 66% compatible with Baha'i beliefs.
The Baha'i are monotheists. That means they believe in a single, almighty God. They also believe that their divine messenger, Bahá'u'lláh, is just the most recent in a long line of spiritual figures. If world peace is to happen the way they wish it would, the Baha'i believe it's critical to overcome the world's religious divisions in favor of establishing one faith for all of humanity. It appears that you are also interested in the idea that people would feel more connected to each other if they were united under a shared belief system.
The Baha'i pass their beliefs from generation to generation through sacred texts, the most well known being the Bayan, which suggests a universal law for all people. With a passion for unity and community, the Baha'i feel that an integrated world government, a universal religion, and an end to racism and gender inequality would bring about a better world. You, too, seem to share the feeling that there may be a lot of positive things to gain from a more integrated world
You're 66% compatible with Neo-Pagan beliefs.
Neo-Pagans tend to worship outside in nature whenever possible because much of their spirituality is tied to the cycles of life and the changing of the seasons. The majority of Neo-Pagans worship by designing private rituals; a few do, however, form small groups so that they can worship in the company and support of others.
You're 63% compatible with Unitarian Universalist beliefs.
What sets Unitarian Universalism apart from other religions is their view on religious tolerance. The church is organized around a broad set of moral ideologies, which invites a diverse congregation that welcomes any member. Since members are actively encouraged to seek the spiritual truth that is most true for them as individuals, there is a diverse variety of ideas and this can be confusing or stimulating, depending on your perspective.
You're 58% compatible with Hindu beliefs
The Hindus' belief that their social position in this life is entirely due to their behavior in the last creates a rigid social hierarchy. If you were to give it a motto, it might read, "You get what you deserve." They believe that it's only through concentrated effort in this life that you may be able to positively affect your social position in the next and move further along your path toward Enlightenment.
You're 57% compatible with Buddhist beliefs
What sets Buddhism apart from the other religions is the Buddha's teachings that as a group are called the Tripitaka. After he reached Enlightenment, the Buddha taught his revelations in the form of three doctrines. The Four Noble Truths are the core Buddhist lessons and principles: (1) Suffering is real and universal, (2) Suffering is caused by a need for control, (3) Suffering ceases to exist when you reach enlightenment and (4) The Eightfold Path leads to Enlightenment. The Five Precepts are the rules to live by: Do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, do not be immodest, and do not consume drugs. And the Eightfold Path, also called the Middle Path (the path to Enlightenment) is the approach that helps end craving and attachment: (1) Right Understanding, (2) Right Thinking, (3) Right Speech, (4) Right Conduct, (5) Right Livelihood, (6) Right Effort, (7) Right Mindfulness, and (8) Right Concentration. By studying these lessons, a Buddhist may, in time, reach Enlightenment.
You're 52% compatible with Judaic religious beliefs.
Judaism differs from both Christianity and Islam in their beliefs about Jesus and the Messiah. Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Son of God, nor do they believe he was a prophet or a Savior sent by God. Some Jews believe that Jesus was a wise teacher of religious ethics. They do not believe that it's necessary to be saved from "original sin," which comes from the Christian belief that all people have inherited the first sin committed by Adam and Eve. Instead, Jews anticipate the coming of the Messiah, who will lead them back to the Promised Land and usher in a period of peace.
You're 52% compatible with Native American religious beliefs.
What sets the Native American religions apart from others is their passion for the Earth and the natural world. They have traditionally stressed the close relationship between man and nature and the need to protect the Earth and the environment. This belief is completely integrated into their religions. In their eyes, the Divine and nature are one.
You're 50% compatible with Spiritualist beliefs.
What sets the Spiritualists apart from other religions is the deep faith they place in the ability of psychics and mediums to see what lies beyond in the spiritual plane. Many Spiritualists seek to hone their own psychic abilities so they can gather better knowledge.
You're 43% compatible with Christian beliefs.
There are literally thousands of Christian denominations, which have widely varying beliefs about many things, including the historical validity of the Bible, the existence of Hell, and the Immaculate Conception.
However, all Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God who lived on Earth and that he died on the cross to save people from "original sin," which is the concept that all people have inherited the first sin committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
You're 42% compatible with Islamic beliefs.
Islam recognizes Muhammad as the last true prophet sent to Earth by God. There are 25 prophets mentioned in the Qur'an (Islam's most well-known sacred text), including Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and finally, Muhammad.
Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet sent by God but not that he was the Son of God. They believe that when he died on the cross, he ascended to Heaven and was not resurrected.

Tests
now, from the test results below, im a natural superstar pitbull and an indulgent eater, who is turned on by big brains and sexually turned on by physical appearance. how true are the results? three out of five. i think.
Which American Idol Are You?
Result: Natural Superstar
When you step on stage, you shine. It's true - you look good in the limelight. There's nothing gimmicky or rehearsed about you, and your charismatic presence is honest and alluring — even if your only preparation involved years of singing in the shower. The competition had better beware —you've got talent, and you know how to use it. Simply put, you make everything look easy.
You've got that star quality that draws people to you. A little bold determination and confidence don't hurt either. So it's no wonder you're going places whether it's as an American idol or the next international superstar. Rock on!
What Breed of Dog Are You?
Result: Pitbull
No bones about it, you're a commanding Pit Bull with a bite as big as your bark. Authoritative and aggressive, the power position is the only one for you — and you never have trouble making that crystal clear. A bit quick-tempered, you can be a little intimidating — though you hardly ever attack unprovoked. Taken aback by our insight? Don't despair! You have several redeeming qualities. Very low-maintenance, you're not one to fall victim to superficiality. You say it like it is and don't waste time playing head games. Just make sure to keep your scowl and growl in check so people can get close enough to notice and appreciate your positive side. Woof!
What's Your Eating Style?
result: Indulgent Eater
You, more than others, truly gain satisfaction from eating. And because of this, you sometimes have difficulty slowing down or just saying no. You enjoy eating and what's great about that is you understand how to appreciate certain aspects of food that others do not. You see food as more than just a source of nutrition or energy. For you, dining, or just plain eating, can be a really enjoyable experience. On the downside, however, you might sometimes indulge too much in the satisfaction you get from eating.
What Turns You On?
Result: A big brain
A new independent film? CNN? The Economist? Sexy, huh? Chances are, with your smarts, and love of a challenge, something along these lines probably gets you going. Whatever your passion, you're looking for that same love of learning and curiosity about the world from your romantic partner.
For you, the hottest thing around can be dressed as a math whiz, a tech geek, or a college professor, just as long as they have the brain power — and, um, stamina — to go the distance with you. Mental connections and sparring matches give you the challenges you need to get turned on. Love poems, pumped-up abs, moonlit walks on the beach — take 'em or leave 'em, you've got your eyes on the IQ prize. After all, the sexiest thing going are smarts.
The Sexual Turn on Test
Result: Physical Appearance
People who get most turned on by a person's physical appearance are often looking for signs of comfort or familiarity in the opposite sex.

i remember when i was a kid, my father always brought home a very simple pasalubong which brought great delight for me and my sibling. what is it? doughnuts! and i remember that my father only bought one flavor for both of us, swiss mocha of mister donut. that's why ive always preferred mister donut over dunkin donuts, that's brand loyalty.speaking of brand loyalty, ive always preferred coca cola over pepsi. the only time i switched to pepsi is when the Spice Girls endorsed it using the Generation Next commercial. after that, i switched back to coca cola. but, of all the cola flavors, i like pepsi's new flavor, the pepsi cino. i also liked pepsi twist. but when it comes to regular cola, i still prefer coke.

I also remember back in high school that i felt that the mini-disc would not replace the audio CD. and well, it appears to be another correct prediction, the mini-disc didnt gain the same popularity as CDs have. and my reason for that was, the mini-disc was just too expensive.
then came the flash disk or flash drive. back in college, i thought the flash disk wont work, for the same reasons, too expensive. seems like this time i was wrong. even if it was expensive (although it isnt as expensive as before, the price isnt that affordable...yet), the fact remains that it really isnt costly. its a convenient file storage device that isnt a waste of money.
so would the flash drive replace audio CDs as portable music storage devices? or better yet, as media file storage devices? what i mean is, replace the different forms of discs (from audio CDs to DVDs)? that all you need is the flash drive, and plug it to your car stereo, or DVD player, or simply your stereo player. that's possible now of course, but the question is, will it replace all of these forms of storage devices and be a household item?

does the word "time first" mean anything? i recall using it when i was a kid, whenever we were playing games on the street and we want the "it"or some other kid to wait for a while. its like a "time out". but why "time first"? so, i would shout "TIME FIRST!" as if saying, "hold on a minute, i want some clarifications" or "wait, postpone the game for a little while, there some urgent matter we need to discuss". anyway, just noting that this two word phrase remain a mystery to me on how it came to be.

theme song...last year
Itchyworms
Ilang huwebes na ang dumaan
Di pa rin nasasakyan
Na wala ka na
Iniwanan na ng panahon
Di pa rin makaahon
Swimming sa luha
Ginagawa kahit ano
Matapos lang gabing ito
Bakit ang bagal ng relo
Naninikip ang tiyan
Nakatingin sa buwan
Malayo pa wala ng magawa
Hawak ang 'yong kamay
Wala kong kaakbay
Nasa'n ka na kaya
Parang kahapon lang
Tayo ay magkayakap
Sa ilalim ng buwan
Ilang beses kung aking tingnan
Maganda mong larawan
Bago humiga
Umaasa sa panaginip
Kahit na isang idlip
Na makita ka
Hindi pa rin mapakali
Di maamoy ang 'yong pisngi
Kahit na konting sandali
Pag nagiisa
Iniisip kita
Babalik ka ba
Nasa'n ka kaya
Huwag maluluha
Huwag magalala
Dito lang ako
Hihintay sa'yo
Sa ilalim ng buwan
Ilalim ng buwan, aahhh

memory fragment numero uno
Well, thats not really what i remembered. The other night, i remembered when i was just a kid, me and my parents always go to SM Cubao. And whenever we would eat there, i would always order pansit bihon. what made that memory significant was, it was a time when i had no idea Jollibee existed! it was a time before i knew what fastfood was. It was a time when my feet didnt touch the ground when i sat on the bench or stool. and pansit bihon was my favorite food and really thought it was the best food in the world! and then, i tasted fastfood and pansit bihon just became a memory. although i still eat it, i no longer consider it the best food ever created.

Test: Zodiac Match Test
Result: Taurus, the Bull (April 21 to May 21): This warmhearted and determined partner is just your type. Initially, a Taurus may catch your eye with a romantic gesture or their penchant for having a good time. But as you get to know them, you're even more likely to be drawn to your Taurean's unwavering devotion and dedication. People born under this sign typically know what they want out of life and stick by the decisions they've made. This devotion to their own truths can make members of this sign seem stubborn or critical at times. However, know that most Taureans are also sentimental types who like to focus on their romantic relationships. In the bedroom, you're apt to find that the Bull is a creative and expressive lover with a high sex drive. It's just another aspect of their vital nature, one that finds pleasure in everyday things and has an eye for beauty.
Test: Which That 70s Show Character Are You?
Caring and honest, you're a good friend to your gang. No doubt they look to you for support, a friendly ear, and a good laugh when they need it. With your positive outlook and try-anything attitude, you're always ready for a fun, new adventure. So let the good times roll!
Test: Discover your past life
My comment: Ok, that explains why I like to sing "Material Girl" by Madonna. And I thought the reason for that was I just like 80s music... Who would have thought I was a sultry leopard named Lola.
Test: What Type Are You?
You are a Bad Boy
You're a T-Bird looking for his Pink Lady. A tough guy. A heart-breaker. A Bad Boy. So what if you're hard to tie down? The gal for you likes a certain edginess, someone who keeps her on her toes. In fact, it might be the challenge that keeps her around; you're tough and hard to tame. More macho than the Marlboro Man, no one would call you romantic or doting, and they wouldn't dare accuse you of being in touch with your feminine side. That suits the ladies who love you just fine; it's the sweet, sensitive guys who bore them to tears. Whether they're seeking adventure or hoping to tame your wild streak, your mysterious ways and undeniable sex appeal keep them coming back for more. My Comment: What the? I'm a bad boy? Really now. I agreed with the test result below with regard to my type but this? Oh well.
Tickle Test: Who's Your Type?
Result:
Your type is the Girl Next Door
Cute, fun, and sweet, your ideal gal is just a stone's throw away — she's the Girl Next Door. She's Sandra Bullock, Doris Day, and Meg Ryan all rolled up into one. Naturally pretty rather than glamorous, she's unpretentious and generous. She loves animals and children, and is great with both. You're attracted to her strong values and traditional ways. Although she demands a lot of respect, she's not particularly high-maintenance. Her ideal date is more likely to be dinner and a movie than heading out for a night on the town. She's careful yet spontaneous — a little bit of the Guy's Girl, a smidge of Sorority Sister (the nice kind), and just a hint of the Hippie Chick. But she's got an appeal that's all her own, which is why you can't stay away. Her winning smile, bright eyes, and loving nature make you want to hold on tight and never let go.
Tickle Test: What Zodiac Sign Should You Be?
The planets are very complex. Maybe your astrologer will disagree, and maybe a few tendencies will vary, but overall you're a SAGITTARIUS. As a fire sign, you are energetic and restless -- quite the explorer! Your adventurous and independent spirit gives you an incurable sense of wanderlust. You thrive on change and always find ways to avoid monotony and routine. You are in tune with your stars and often seem to be in the right place at the right time. You're a generous friend and have a great sense of humor, but you're sometimes are uncomfortable with romantic commitments. Your symbol is the archer, which represents your strong ambition and your straightforward and honest qualities. Always fun to be around, Sagittarius is known and admired for an unyielding optimism.
My Comment: Ok, am I supposed to be happy? Sagittarius is my real zodiac sign, and the test signifies that I do have traits of someone born under such zodiac sign. Does that really mean that the signs of the zodiac do influence the personality of a...person?
