It's a shame... that you should meet me in my weakest state. When I'm trying to regain all that I lost, when I'm helplessly watching them trample on my pride, when what I thought I was was but a shell that could easily be snatched away. But then again, I went through all that with you standing by my side.

So, maybe, it's not that much of a shame after all. (But my God woke up at the wrong side of his bed, and it just don't matter now.)



Oasis - Little By Little

Y: No realities beyond mine; no borders but these markers looping everything back to itself;

I: And you believe these experiences are yours alone? We do not belong to you - see, I defy you, your reality is mine as well, and just as your markers mean nothing to me as it leads to nowhere, your reality means just as null as it fails to implement destiny -

The collective realization that Alpha ties itself to Omega casts doubts on destiny; His existence is unquestionable, but only in intrapersonal reality.

Y: It does, and only I know the end of all;

I: But does it? It never ends. It loops, it cycles, it is the testament -

Y: The living testament;

I: no, it does not live. Nothing truly does - life is an adjective, an abstract for sustaining our beliefs that we are special when in fact we never were; we never will be, nothing else will be.

Y: but I, who is.

I: And does it matter? There are no consequences for not believing. Just as destiny fails to manifest, you fail to impose yourself on us. Only our curiosity makes you real, and once this dialogue ends, so does your ability to reciprocate.



Sugarfree - Kuwentuhan

Allan: Ayos.
Beng: Sana hindi ako apektado, pero hanggang sana nalang muna ako. Umaasa akong maaayos pa ito, pero kung wala ka talagang gagawin...
Boboyski: Niyatnih gnalan gnitan atilasgam gna yam alas.
Donna: Happy birthday!
Jelly: Di ako demure! At anong problema kung pagkatapos pa ng sampung libong taon magaganap ang hindi ko naman talagang kinasasabikang pagtapak sa tunay na mundo?
John: Goodluck sa Biyernes!
John V.: Ano na nangyari sa iyo, master?
Mai: Naiinggit ako... hanggang kaha lang ang kaya kong palitan sa akin ngayon eh. Puwera nalang siguro kapag may ibinenta ako, heheh. Miss na kita.
Tubo: I'm glad it's over, but if I don't get the rewards I deserve, I'll make your life a living hell.
Vanes: Lukuluku ka! Oo na, nabnab etramu, heheh.



Sugarfree - Prom

A few weeks ago, I decided to work on a mobile game tentatively titled Mobile GM. The user plays the role of a general manager trying to work his basketball team up tournaments and eventually earning spots in major leagues.

That was a few weeks ago, before I realized that there was already a slew of similar games on the market. I'm not sure if there already is mobile version that supports multiplayer matches and tournament modes, but I'm assuming there is and that it'd be hard to top without scouting even one of the games already available.

So, the project has to wait. Right now, I'll content myself with NBA Live 2004 and MVP Baseball 2004 (which I'll be grabbing a copy of later, despite the average reviews and minor gameplay complaints). For research purposes, I'll probably be looking into the Championship Manager series.

Bah.



Alter Bridge - Open Your Eyes

I slept for twelve and a half hours. I didn't know it was that exhausting.

Nothing much to do today and tomorrow. I wish we could start shooting the film, but we're short on resources.

I'm getting sick of turmeric rice.

Velvet Revolver - Slither

Buhay pa ako, mga ungas! Mahirap patumbahin ang masasamang damo, lalo na kapag armado ng GBlue! Ito na ang bago't pinagandang JPudong's Gin+Ponkan!

May mga panahong magsasawa ka talaga sa lasa ng WowPonkanjuice! - masyadong matamis, masyadong masaya. Sa Gin+Ponkan, oo nga't masaya pa rin, pero oo na tamisan lang! Walang tama... wala!

Humihingi ako ng dispensa sa mga nasalanta ng aking kawalan ng balita, kahit na matindi ang tiwala kong maliit na tuldok lamang ako - tulad nga ng sinabi sa akin noon ni Ginoong Mariano sa klase namin sa Pilosopiya ng Tao, "Tuldok ka lang! Akala mo magaling ka, pero tuldok ka lang!" - na, sa kahit papaanong paraan ay akin pa ring pinaniniwalaan tulad nang paniniwala kong hindi gaanong mahalaga para sa pang-araw-araw ninyong pamumuhay ang pagsasalaysay ko ng mga kaganapan sa aking buhay at ng mga balita tungkol sa mga tao sa aking kapaligiran.

At heto nga, tulad ng dati, buhay na buhay pa akong dumudungis sa larangan ng kontemporaryong pakikipagpalitan ng mga salita't impormasyon habang taimtim, tahimik, at mabagal na nagwawala sa munti kong kuwarto.

Maghuhugas pa ako ng paa. Text-text nalang mamaya.
