HoMe...

finally it came. been waiting for so long. tonight ill be in a plane heading home. 10 days of plain sleep-eat-sleep routines that i hope will re energize my body. too bad my wife is not with me. sad.
im off at 0040 hours tonight while most homo sapiens are drooling in their sleep. going home via metro manila where my younger vietcong brother will meet me and send me to the domestic airport. he is the lousiest, mama's boy ive ever known and i love very much. my best man and come to think of it, God-willing, is going to be a lawyer in about 2 months time. i'd still debate with him though. till i die maybe.
i miss my mom. i miss my dad. i miss filipino tv shows like basketball and other programs from other channels. i miss batchoy. i miss sm city mall. i miss the jeepney. i miss the pandesal in the mornings, the mais in the afternoons.

so guys, please bear with the peace and quiet in the bank without me. i know im not the heart of the group. not the soul. no no, especially not the life. im just a funny bone or a pebble inside your shoes making your lives less desirable. jealous? jealous? jealous? ill be sitting and drinking juices for 10 days and all of you battle it out with stupid nurses, unreasonable ctm people and depleted stocks. bwahahahahaha . . . remind me to be slapped when i come back okies?

"'coz im leaving on a jet plane, i dont know when i'll be back again...."



wish you were with me, borj. i love thee.

i know . .. i know . . .

it has been a while since i tapped the keyboard instead of letting it go through my mouth. 2 weeks? was that long? well, i could somehow summarize two weeks into 2000 words.

finally i succomb to the power of spousal nagging (married guys should understand this). yes, poor old chunky in danger of losing assets in the future. i signed up with california fitness not to see jackie chan but for the purpose of making my wife stop nagging me. first 2 days was hell. literally HELL for my body and mind. after my last seesion, it still feel like hell. arms, butt, abs, legs, thighs. also, earlobes, little finger and nosehairs. they all hurt.

we also have been slowly moving out from our old dump to a new one. (to those i owe money, i dont live in upper serangoon no more this august owkay? so start collecting money!). never in my life i renovated a house. painting walls (including ourselves), re varnishing furnitures, fixing kitchens and bathrooms etc etc. im in a wrong line of work.

i have mixed emotions in leaving singapore for my hometown this saturday. im happy to finally have 2 weeks of rest yet life will not be happy without my wife beside me. its just too bad that i got more off days than her. so she must save those for other trips of ours this coming september.

work is still work. nothing much to talk about. MJ got bF. so wtf? no big deal. this types of news are no news to me anymore. what affects me now is the thought of people leaving and it makes me down. feels like i wanna leave too before them. its always easy to leave than to be left behind. my father knows about it first hand. for 14 years he would leave us every 4 months. and when he retired and i went home, upon going back to singapore, the old man went teary eyed. my mum just smiled and understood what pops experienced. i know life is just. and i know life is unfair.

so my apologies homo -sapiens, -erectuses, -sexuals. i abandoned you for 2 weeks. promise, ill never do that. .....ill abandone you longer. (enter demon marching song)bwahahahaha . . .

how to cure a heartache.....


* Keep loving yourself even if it seems an impossible goal. In the long run, you will be a stronger person.

* How bad could things really get? Remember, there's always someone less fortunate.

* If you are feeling bad at night, you can look forward to feeling much better when the sun comes up. So wait.

* Stay true to your beliefs and keep searching in your soul for new ideas.

* Helping other people often helps yourself. Give good advice and don't be negative.

* A joke a day will keep you laughing and during times like these, even if it feels wrong, laughing will make you happy!

* Look for MJ.

CHRiSTiNe

Her eyes are brown, shining like stars at night
Oh when she smiles I melt, her lips are rosy red
When she looks at me, I am hypnotized
Staring at those brown colored eyes, when she's far I miss her

Oh my CHRISTINE I love you, oh my CHRISTINE I do, I do love you

Girl when you're upset, please don't cry coz I'm hurt
I'm always here for you, you gave my life a reason for living
A heart to believe in, a love for us to share

chorus:
Oh my CHRISTINE I love you, oh my CHRISTINE I care
Say my CHRISTINE will you love me too
Oh my CHRISTINE I do, I do love you

bridge:
If you need a friend to turn to I will be there, oh I'll be there
All you have to do is take my hand and I'll be there


there are times in your life where it seems hopeless and you have to dig deep for happiness. im blessed i have you wabsie. you always bring smiles to my lips. you unwrinkle my brow. i love you mostest. sleep tight. keep the ungrateful cat away. hugs. hugs. hugs.

it is utterly the saddest feeling in the world if you feel useless. its like living without a purpose. without direction. without reason.
last saturday, as we were enjoying a concert (with my wife), a terrible news arrived in my fone from my brother. its a declaration of panic, worry and concern rolled into one message reporting that our home back in the philippines was flooded neck deep. my first reaction was, again, as always, my brother was over reacting. but it was true. my being was torn into two, half enjoying my childhood idols singing and the other half wants to fly back home a.s.a.p.these are those times when you question yourself and not God whether you believe he exists. i know there is a God. a God who is just and has reasons and sometimes those reasons are beyond human understanding and comprehension. if i do have a prayer right now in my head it is for a little bit of wisdom to understand WHY "this" has to happen. my parents are beyond their 60's. my mom has joint problems and my dad has his own kidney and diabetes battle. what is the reason that i cannot understand that "this" has to happen? what do they need to learn from "this" tragedy? are they only being tested, like a game? i don't know. i honestly don't understand. now that all their children are far away and useless, "this" has to happen. silly.
you might see me at work smiling, jerking around and maybe "loose". i do have a serious side and please don't bother if i look stoned. i'm deeply saddened by what happened and i can't wait to go home this 19th of july and assess what damages was done. im not concerned about material things but to hear your mom crying over the fone and you can't even lend a shoulder kills me everytime i remember it. after i go home, maybe i could find answers and understand and hopefully be better wen i come back. i love you mom. i love you pops.

sigh.

these are the duo that was with me in my radio, walkman, or any other audio devices i had at that time and yes, up until now, in my communicator, my macbook, my ipod. russell hitchcock and graham russell's concert tonight at the expo at 8 pm . . old and voices are strained like a rusty turntable, i still do live through the meaning of their songs and still get inspired by it. no other artists, no other albums can top this duo in my book o' life. i know their lyrics by heart and could sing the whole night along with them . . .im so excited . .and i just can't hide it . . .lolz . . im so gay . . .

knowing that everyone is still asleep and im already working makes my day. ALWAYS. or not!.... sitting here waiting for crazy, deranged people to work with me keeps me awake. today is like independence day. no government. most importantly, NO TERRORIST working. no ears going to bleed. no rolling of eyes.

last day of work guys, before my 3-day escapade.

when i was young, i was told by elders to make everything in moderation. always not too much. same thing when it comes to emotions. with three other male siblings, we are so used in horse-playing and so used to getting reprimanded. "stop it or else it will have a negative repercussions". i didn't understand nor believe what they said. not until now.

after a few months of laughing and slamming MJ created an atmosphere in my workplace like it's a very nice meal that you always want every time you go to work. laughter, giggles, smirks, etc etc.

but now i could sense that its turning 180 degrees. i dunno if its because of those sad news i heard or maybe because MJ went and followed the tall one's suggestion (or totally ignored it), but i feel this deep, mysterious sadness around the bank. maybe its payback time. i will have to just observe and react.

photo ops, busybody, ear bleeding voice. i dunno what else to say. symptoms? manifestations? i really don't know how its called. then a brilliant feline suggested a voice-borne virus creating intolerable, numbing feeling that seeps in to your bone and eats your very soul until you just wanna ask why were you born in a time that this virus existed. divine intervention? it needs all religion, all prayers in different languages and maybe a martian to abduct the virus and destroy mars to make earth safe. im talking rubbish. what im talking about is rubbish. 

hugs everyone. your days are numbered.
