tool time!

I feel bombarded by tools! Firefox Extensions, Google Personalized Home, and Yahoo! Widgets. They all offer tools for weather, mail, music playlists, and more! Gah! I don't know which to use! Anyway... Just in case you haven't heard of these, I now leave the taxing decision up to you.

sleep

yay! i actually got 10 hours of sleep last night. too bad that means that i just woke up 10 minutes ago...

procrastination, questions, ambiance, snowboarding gear, design, camera

At this moment in time, instead of doing something productive like researching VoIP for my telecommunications class or... sleeping, I am perusing through blogs and ::gasp:: uploading pictures to MySpace.

I've been trying to put off researching for tCom for several weeks now. I checked out the books the week I got my topic (about mid January?), renewed them twice, and I still haven't really read them. Let's hope I get around to it later today. Week 10 is approaching.

Sometimes I find myself questioning whether or not I'm studying what I really want to study. Many days I'll find myself prefering to work on accounting hw over read about network architecture and protocols. But ssh! Everyone else thinks I'm set for life.

Ambiance^2 is coming up this Tuesday. If I get over my cowardliness, it'll be my first time reading a piece in front of a crowd > 10 people. Let's hope I read it with emotion... and not just that of nervousness.

Teh sister bought snowboarding gear (board, bindings, boots) today. I'm glad. She's been wanting some for a while. She spent just a little more than I did for this year's stuff. I think I might've messed up the screws of my bindings while trying to customize them. I still don't know when I can hit the mountain again.

I've been wanting to design something lately. Er... I know I do that all the time at work and for class, but I've been wanting to design something for me. I heart the LJ icons on my cousin's blog.

I want a new camera, too. I see the quality of some people's pictures, and it's like... wow. Look how green that grass is... literally.



Anyway... This post has been a bunch of randomness. I will end it with this: I can't wait for this year to be over.

filipinos in the media

American Reality TV Talent Contests:
Jasmine, Camile, Ryan, Melody, Jose, and Cheryl.

Wowowee Stampede:
CNN.

Leyte Mudslide:
ABC, LA Times, CNN.

State of Emergency:
CNN.

We sing and dance in the states while things fall apart at home. Which do people talk about more?

It would be great to build a successful business and then go to the Philippines to help the economy.

::sigh::

grr!

Who would sell a package of cell phone accessories that includes 2 items compatible for one phone and then another item that's not at all compatible with that phone?

People.

My fault for not reading the description carefully, though. But honestly, if you read

NOKIA 6101 6102 RAPID CAR CHARGER +HEADSET EARBUD

you're gonna think, oh, okay, so this is a charger and a headset for the Nokia 6102.

The bastard suckered me into getting 2 packages to save on shipping, too.

::sigh:: Buyer's remorse. Once again, you have hit me.

new phone + birthday fest

Yay! Our family's new phones came in the mail today! Nokia 6102. Yes, it's not exactly the PDA phone I wanted to get, but it's definitely better than my other phone. My very first camera phone (finally) is currently charging as we speak.

I didn't realize it, but I think I'm having a week-long birthday!

• Today (Tuesday) - my Kuya Mike took me out to eat w/ Joy, Paulo, and Patrick @ Diamond Palace
• My real birthday (Wednesday) - out to eat w/ my immediate family @ Applebee's, then I think Team Siopow is eating at BJ's for team birthdays (Arvin - 3, Greg - 6, me - 8)
• Thursday - no birthday plans, but kickback @ paulo/patrick's
• Friday - out to eat w/ Khaing (+/- girls) or Rodney?
• Saturday - movie + BJ's w/ friends (barkada, white, sga?)
• Sunday - family/friend kickback @ my house

eeeek.

What a crazy world I am getting myself into. In the world of business and in the world of technology, things are always happening! Everything is constantly changing. It's gonna be a challenge to keep up...

love and sex

Here's a little something I wrote during the API Theater Group meeting this week:

Love and sex

Love and sex

Everything is

Love and sex

When will we move onto the next

Level, next phase?

Will it be days,

Months, weeks

Until someone speaks

Not about how their knees grew weak

Or how long until they came

Or how they're losing their brain

From paranoia?

Is another boy or

A girl

Infiltrating my world,

Being where I should be,

Causing me misery?

Aren't there bigger issues

Than self-inflicted drama? Tissues

Should be used for colds

Not for cleaning up messes

Caused from undresses

Give up your body

Give your heart away

You might wonder

"What if things were different?" each day

I'm nearing the end of the page

And running out of time

Even though I'd rather not

Love and sex are on my mind
