Make no mistake, this is the take!

Im taking this time to out to take out the baggage off the trunk and look where I am headed.

I have this crazy drugged out friend of mine who misses his dear old friend.
Flashback: " Dude, Dek died of cardiac arrest while we were doing the workout, he just passed out..and the tita’s, they were all shocked!… Her mom’s not gonna like this news…I cant believe it dude…"
-We all miss dek for some reason, I guess Jose and Vicente will miss him definitely.

My former classmate in college left for the US. His steady gf who is also my classmate really miss him from the time she left the airport.
Flashback: " .…inside the cab, i saw him
waving his hand goodbye, with those deep sad eyes as if saying “I’m
missing you already”…it was a moment of mixed emotions……i don’t know if the cab
driver saw my teary eyes, but he remained silent whilst he drove me
home as if he understood my need to just cry like a baby…delayed
reaction as it was…but only after I left the airport…I felt the
pain…i wanted to run back and tell him, “can you not go? please stay, I
don’t wanna be left here all alone.”
-Talk about living on the other side of the world and leaving your other part of your heart on the gutter. I cant even think of another word to describe Dave and Evangeline’s relationship except for that part way back in school. I guess they pulled it off.

Driving his way to Vegas strip, memories of youth came upon him. Looking on the rear view mirror says it all. The tears, the joy, the sex and all, the drugs and the music. It has gone all haywire from the start. He assumes to take them into something where they ought to be. Thumbing his way to the casino’s  he remember this faint sound palying in his mind…"Do you love me?…as he looked into her flowing hair and pink cheeks. He quips, " No, not yet, but I really like you this much that Im doing all of this that you wanted.."

Motley Crue’s Dr. Feelgood are one of the songs I wont forget, let alone play it. I remember this one time 12 years ago when the PJ,Alwin,Me and Ondie were doing it on the garage and My voice will always make "piyok" We had the energy of the exploding youth armed with knowledge, bursting with fear and the one thing to look forward was the fact that there will always be tomorrow. Its been a year and a half since Ondie took his life and the rest of us led our separate lives. I miss playing with my band, Wernicke’s Syndrome….maybe in the future we will get a chance to play again but it will all be incomplete without Ondie.
6feet underground, just imagine being alone in your casket.not able to move…its done, its finished!

It must be the weather that brings you down let alone the things that you have are already gone.

Im miserable right now.

I need some a-lovin n a-huggin.

Its been months since I got to be miserable like this.

Somehow I know Im still human…bound to make mistakes, triumphs over victories, gets murky in the puddle of misery and…

I cant talk no more.

I need some heavy painkillers coz i cant bear the pain inside my chest.

In the midst of a cold night breeze i heard you said that you are different. I stepped back for awhile and tried listening to your burden.
In your efforts to remain unique,I noticed a flaw in the arguments you presented.
It is rather troubling to think that you have remained ex-communicado (at your own terms) and you were going on circles.
You see, the thick wads of money inside your pockets will get itself dry unless something drastic happens.
Masakit kapag lumagapak ka sa lupa kapag hindi ka sinagip ng mga pakpak mo.
—
I have chosen to remain a silent witness to your flight because somehow I have crossed the same path that you were taking today. If indeed you are unique, spread your wings now and jump on the edge.
Jump.
Because I believe that Ideals will break and it will drag you down.
—
I choose to wait.
—
So when u fall down,id be a witness on how you will pick urself up.
—
I give a damn.

Last nite’s workout was i dunno, something funny or idiotic and definitely tiring.
So i arrived at the gym 5mins late to Arcel’s Step Class.Kate,Wendel,Apple and Joey was there and so was I but my brain i think was not.
Langya,Joey I think was high on something and F***k! pati ako nahawa. Not that im complaining pero I was doing step and enjoyed it with the same intensity of Jam. Syempre, it was all laugh trip.
Then the gym-mommies came in knocking and invited us to taste Tita Dory’s bread. What a nice treat. Imajin ur in the middle of the class puffing your way out to finish the damn thing then all of a sudden treats came in for free. Aint that nice??
My feet are hurting a bit and I have to fetch my dad at the airport later.
Need to get back at work and make some money.
See you.

I think i said something like that this week til mid Novmber will be rough, well it has started and its grinding.
I got a new employee named Emily and she will be replacing Malen.
My warehouse was retrofitted last week and the other chamber will be done come friday nite.
Im having problems with organization right now. The more I pressure myself with work, the less I become productive. My body is reeling away from the pressure it had experienced since half of this year. No, Im not complaining about the excessive amount of workload passed to me, I just need a crash course on time management.
Im headed to the bank right now to pay the bills, maybe when I get back id get something done.
Yesterday, I went to the gym and wasnt able to get as much exercise coz the blues still lingers and I cant shake it.
I dunno whats wrong but ill figure something out.
—
Wahoo, Purefoods Chunkee Giants won the game last nite in OT.
you may not notice it but Araneta Coliseum was 3/4 filled last nite. madaming fans.
—
Speaking of Cubao, I havent been there for years…Maybe I can drag my crazy drugged out friend to check out the solitary confinement and listen to Metallica.

Its a bluesy saturday morning. I ate 3 large pandesal that I bought last night from El Panaderos.
I just thought Id listen to some Pink Floyd singles on my player and thus the title of this blog.
—
Its a ballsy weekend for me like a calm in the eye of the storm. By next week its going to be rough till mid-November.
—
Its a sunny day to think of bowling later with my friends. its starting to be therapeutic.
—
I dont wanna chase the blues away. I like it in here.
—
Im headed to class.
—

Wow. This is heavy.
Been offline for 5 straight days without the certainty that PLDT will get back on track and it made me a bit crazy and a bit worry free person.
Got crazy thinking if she will be replying on my email when she gets to SG and in fact she did!
Got anxious if my crazy drugged out friend has already sent his testimonial. (Hey mrend sorry mor d inonvenience,mass the mattle mlease).
Got worry free because i dont have to open up my laptop just to check. In fact I started reading this book and its a nice book. I also watched Pacino’s Scent of a Woman and made me wanna see more of Gabrielle Anwar.
Anyway, I got a beamer williams F1 cap for a bargain.
I really miss blogging and Im glad to be back.

Are you drugs?

Goodnyt Neverland

Its been awhile.

my dsl connection has gone haywire while some node or something has broken since last friday nite.

Anyway, last saturday was a blast. Its a good thing that I was there to witness Purple Vixens winning the 1st plce in body Jam. Way to go girls! Congrats to Juvie, Ina,Lar and Anna. You guys were great. Not only that, all in all Alabang won 4 of its 5 entries in all groupEx. Ang tindi!

Im reading something right now which was given to me as a birthday gift and I have to agree that it started out good. Have you read about teh five people you meet in heaven?

Just wondering though.

I recently bought a BMW-Williams F1 team cap and it looks cool!

Im so tired and sleepy with all this weather and I may or may not be able to join the tuesday group. My feet are still swollen with all of that jumping and dancing last saturday. But something tells me tthat I can join them.

Ahh…the smell of victory, I can almost imagine the Gym-Mommies of FF alabang bringing some food later and Im dying to found out what it is this time.

Yeah, I watched "Hawking" on hallmark channel last sunday nite and its quite good. The writer was that goo dto bring stephen hawking to the audience. With his robotic voice and neck down paralysis, the movie humanized stephen H. If you can, i suggest you watch it over at Hallmark Channel.

I got to download last week the brand new episodes of Mythbusters 3rd season and im glad they are back!

Its a bummer not having a fast connection right now,its a shame.

Gotta get back to work.My brain is in a frenzy.

Are you drugs?

It has been a very slow wednesday since I got so tired from last nite’s body jam. Hehe, I dunno wat happened with Lar but last nite was a torture.
Though The tuesday group was not complete: Juvie’s on a night shift working, Anna’s got a gig with the Ms. Earth Pageant, RJ,Kate and Wendell are also nowhere in sight. It was just Tita Cecil (with a box of mooncake in tow), Vic (in his self admitted amoy-ipis adidas jumpshirt), Joey (in his usual Jay-R get up),Apple in her usual self and just plain old Me were there to get tortured with Lar’s fully charged Energizer batteries.
Talk about batteries. Joey’s car got stumped last nite at the carpark heheh. Being there, I got the chance to help. Buti na lang may laman yung water bottle ko. I got it fixed in no time.
So Joey, Apple and I headed to HenLin ATC to tuck and went home afterwards

I got to talk with Rency by the way, and I looked over at her charts and im over consuming proteins and medium fat foods. Too bad for somebody who has relapsed for the last 12weeks. Anyway, Im back in the saddle and anytime this week I will be working out on my own here in my room doing Reebok Core Training and Med Ball Exercises. I also replaced my share of the pantry, I bought chicken breasts, low fat milk, lotsa green apples and oranges and my favorite Tuna chunks in oil. Im controlling my sodium (salt) consumption coz the damn thing raised my blood pressure for a week and got my doctor very furious at me for not taking the narrow road. Im also taking diuretics both natural and synthetic to take out most of the liquid in my body.

It has been a terrible and deafening lull in the workplace coz its the 4th quarter and I still have some  backlogs to address. I might be hiring another engr to bridge the gap.

I got to hear this new song from INXS featuring JD Fortune’s Pretty Vegas and I must say that it sounded so very-INXS like it was released 13years ago. My friend Wiwi and Anjho loved Mig so much that I sent them a pic that I got from Dave Navarro’s website with Mig and Dave peeing in the toilet side by side.Look at them here:
If you look closer, Mig’s side view looked like Pepe Smith’s younger version.
I read some comment from some other people’s website that they observed Mig’s height and they posted like "Mig is so damn tiny!"
But then again, this guy can really rock on his own if he wants to. I have a suggestion to make though, if he really wants to rock maybe he should try getting his cousins services: Manuel Legarda from Wolfgang or Rafael  at the guitars which from the House, Nate Morton on drums coz he really rocks the drums. Go over at the rockstar:inxs video archive and listen to the drum beats. Nate is great!

This friday is going to be the start of my class in PLM. Im 2sems away from the comprehensive exam and perhaps maybe my last 8months her in pinas has started. I just hope that nothing will get in the way for my migration to you know where.

On saturday, FF Manila will be hosting the Nike Tribe and I pray that I could get to be there and support the Vixens. It’s the last shot to fame I guess heheh and Id like to see the faces of FF Manila when the Tuesday Group gets there in full force. I bet its going to be a blast! but who’s going to take the pics?

Let me take this time to share to you my thoughts about something that happened last week. Listen to me coz Im not the kiss and tell type but these are just my observations. Im saying this without sour graping and I always try hard to be objective,unbiased and unfeeling. I bet you didnt know that coz you have lready included me on your list of stereotypes. Let me tell you dear that there is more to life than the joy you experience when the sun is setting, or being under the shade of the trees or being left in the woods with your prince charming or going barefoot in the ricefields coz I understand from where you’re coming from.
You see, I tried understanding you from way down there up to the eye level when we had those conversations in the roofdeck. Yeah, I have to agree that it really sucks when you have to explain to people why you pray like that and to whom,why you chose the path of a vegetarian, why you chose to be an environmentalist even if you havent told me that you hugged a tree or shed a tear when those trees in Katipunan were rooted out. You said it will take some guts for somebody to take your principles and beliefs in one single shot. I say you were wrong. I guess for somebody who have tried to be the "ripple in the pond" I should say that I got there first before you chose to be a hippie/gypsy.
I noticed how you throw your trash away and you said to me that you were an extremist when in comes to nature. You told me that you honestly believe that you were born to live in some sort of a nature park or reserve or something. May I say this please without batting something or whatever: Dont lecture somebody until you have experienced or doing what you have just preached.
You know, I really think you  are a smart girl (something that I know that your are obviously aware of) and to top that, you really look good all Im just wondering is the amount of guts that you put up with this cover nad the suppression you got from your parents. Whatever happened with the left brain that your god gave you? I mean cant you be at least be analytical on things?
Im not here to mock or humiliate you,like what I said before these are just plain observations that you may want to explore and think about before making me believe with the power of destiny and mystery and fixing your sights.
Im also concerned on how you bring up models. With your naturally equipped eccentricity self, I noticed that you needed somebody to be your mentor but yet you deny yourself with this need. Look dear, astronomy has nothing to do with this.
I really like the fact that you hate spiders and those creepy little things. You dread the fact that I was able to guess this right away but yet to you I was a victim of a stereotyped youth.
I also like the fact that whenever we talk, we dont get to look at each other’s eyes. I really like talking to the left side of your face. What a put off you got there but sorry its not bound to happen anytime soon.

Its 11pm I guess I may have to call it a nite or else my trainer/dietician/physician will all get mad for the lack of sleep im giving to myself.
Stress and Lack of sleep pretty much did me in so dont be like me.
Gdnyt Neverland!

As of presstime, I heard that the PURPLE VIXENS made it to the finals!!! Congrats to Juvie, Inna, Anna and Lar. We guys at the back really thought it was over. Imajin losing by half a point??
Anyway here’s the story
4pm: Tita Cecil and I decided to dance over at the 2nd row to look over at the feverish Anna. She might give in during half of the track so I guess the big guy in me gave in too. Come in they say "the mother of all body jam" I dunno her name but she was great. She gave us the warm up of Jam33 (might be wrong but its the new track with the 3track medley). Like the super tita that she was, Tita Cecil was astounding!  Hindi naman ako nagpahuli, kaya sinabayan ko na din-thinking baka makasulot ng giveaway sa huli kasi wala si Joey
Habang nagsasayaw, Arcel and Bess was at my left. I pulled in Arcell so that we can do some really hot and sticky warm up dance. Pucha hindi nakatagal si Bess at an mga crowd ng FF Alabang, naghiyawan ng nagsasayaw na kami ni Arcell.
Ok,so FF Alabang made a statement out there, we were loud and proud!
The whole alabang crowd was noisy-hindi pa ako naki join nuon ha!- and I danced like hell,oblivious of whats happening in the background. I huffed and puffed kasi ba naman 3 tracks yun eh.
1st Up- LAR with her other tribe- By this time we were all amped and pumped up, we danced with her on Hey Mama. Dammit! I was still huffing and puffing! I barely made it but Im sure I have outdone myself.The whole crowd joined in unison on the latter part of the show.Ugh! I needed a water break but I cant.
Next Jammer was Dave with his Alabang Tribe- Eh pucha 4 tracks ba naman eh di nag water break na ako. They danced "Come baby Come" and I didnt. I told you I was huffing and puffing. May nakita akong couple ang sweet nila magkayakap pero hindi bagay eh kaya hindi ko na pinansin. She lives in a very imaginary world and he’s there to tear her to pieces…Todja di ko na pinansin, so i rushed to the fountain and gave myself a breather.I watched closely coz this group is a darkhorse with all the bling bling in their get-up. Misty is HOT!
The next jammer to present was the group of FF Fort Boni. Pucha ba naman eh Hey Mama ulit. Sayang ang water break coz my heart’s gonna be pounding like the steam train again. So I joined in and danced halfheartedly.Well, this group needs lotsa projection I must say. I saw Mike(the interior designer) dancing at the rear and I pulled him to the front.Pucha Water break na naman ako.
Pansin mo ba walang recovery? OO wala nga until after this next group.
Then came the vixens. The crowd roared for 2mins that Lar couldnt hear her self on the mic and she had to wait for people to settle down. I looked over the girls and they were half the women I saw last tuesday in FF Alabang elims. Inna looked kabado, Lar was cocky, Juvie was worried and looked awfully pale and Anna is not smiling. So Lar gave the instructions for the audience and they went on to do their stuff. Me and Tita Cecil gave it all on the dance floor that made Bess stare all over. I can hear from the back something like this "Go Mark wohoo!" It sounded like it came from people in Alabang so I guess people were really watching. Mahalay kasi si Arcel eh. As expected, I kinda messed up on this track kasi sumikip sa floor but I stayed on and cheered. The vixens were on cue for some time. Heheh, I remember that part where Lar is supposed to intro her group where she messed up. When she called Anna’s name, Anna didnt smile, all she did was to pose with her eyes closed! Lar then forgot Juvie’s name for a second that Juvie gave a delayed smile(toldja she was worried di ba?)but Inna was on cue(Ang galing pare!).After the dance was done, people started roaring again. I needed to take another water break!
Then came the recovery track, they played Superstar. huff huff huff huff.Inom ulit
Last up was the group from FF Manila. They danced the 3track medley from Jam33 (the one with missy elliot,destiny child songs) Dammit, they were good. nag back flip ba naman yung leader nila. Anak ng teteng!Ang sexy din nung mga tribemembers at magaganda. By that time everybody was in euphoria.Ang ingay!But of course, I danced with them. Sexy eh! heheh
It was wrapped up with a cool down with Ashanti’s take on Rock With You. I rili needed to cool down coz it was really hot down there.
So when it was done, everybody was jumpy all over.The crowd gathered up and went wild for a time.
Fast forward to the results of Jam Semi’s and the last group was called:
Trailing by 1/2 point was
3rd place the Purple Vixens-FF Alabang
2nd place Dave’s Group- FF Alabang
1st place The FF Manila Group.

Everyone in the crowd was silenced when The Vixens were called. I saw Anna’s face and I have to tell it to her that they got eliminated and she couldnt believe it. Lar and Inna went to the stage so as Juvie and Anna. Wala eh talagang ganon may talo may panalo.
Taas kamay ko sa group na ito kasi after the festivities, they went to the centerstage and prayed. Its sure that they said their Thank you’s to The Big Guy upstairs and that’s good. Walang gumaya sa kanila not even the 2nd and the 3rd. Talk about values and accepting defeat.Astig!!
Hours later after buying something from TOKyo Tokyo Glorietta (Iced Tea and Maki) I went home to watch TV for a PBA game. Pucha nanalo ang Purefoods against Red Bull! Wahoo! Panalo ang team ko!
Kidding aside, I got a text from Anna that they got in. Well, talk about thanking God and God giving it back it return. I learned that Leo stepped into mediate that the vixens was the wildcard entry.The judges looked back and brought in the good news.
Ayos!
Now, Its gonna be party on tuesday and fri nite in alabang. These guys need a clap or two to lift their spirits up coz it aint over until the fat lady sings. Ill be there to support these guys.Lar if you will be reading this, baka pwede sanang pumili ng ibang track na mas maayos at mas inviting. The Manila tribe was awfully and wickedly good and u saw that and all of the people saw that.
