Trip To The South


2008

INTRODUCTION

Before December begins, I should have used all my vacation days from work. It was the last two weeks of November. Usually, I spend my vacation in the overseas, but this year, I opted for a domestic trip with Frances.

I did not plan the trip ahead of time like I usually do things. Planning a trip most of the time does not work for me because things happen in between. I’ve been irking to go south this time, especially to Texas. It has been in the back of my head. Only financial burden and fear was pinning me down. That’s another thing why I don’t plan my trips; I get over the fear. So during the weekend when I picked up Frances from the airport (she came from Las Vegas, but originally from Vancouver, BC) I was thinking about the trip while driving. From there, I decided to do it. Face the music later. (more…)

Readiness & Disaster Management

Readiness and Disaster Management are the recent issues in the Philippines. PAGASA claims that there was a breakdown in the structural aspect of their readiness program during typhoon Frank. There is no such thing as readiness. Nature is uncontrolled that’s why most of us thrive to be unnatural. The only thing a forecast can do is minimize casualties; it’s not a prevention. I guess it’s a readiness to be killed for the dead. I’m a huge fan of the natural and I missed one good nature loving during the typhoon. I miss the days back home when we encounter annual typhoon visits. It’s exhilarating. Now most of you will definitely say that it’s insensitive of me to be thinking that way after many people lost their lives. Sorry to disappoint you, but that’s what we call “natural death”. Sooner or later you’ll die, so why not give your life to something that gave and is giving you life and not to some illness caused by the artificial or ambitions. I want to die with nature’s help or during my sleep. That way there’s nobody to blame for my death.

Disaster Management — I’ve nothing on this one. I don’t have the luxury to think about helping the victims. If it was me, I’d look at this as a rebirth and reset my life. I would disappear and live life anew. I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen to me; especially when I’m traveling by plane. I always wish my plane crashes in an inhabited island so that if I survived, I’d live in solitude. Did I just digress?

Lord Of War

I can’t sleep if I didn’t write something about this film. This film is one of the two best examples (the other being the “Thank For Smoking”) to tell the world that some things cannot be controlled however one tries to because these things are designed to be that way. There is no moral ground surrounding them.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the movie is about a man who lobbies weapons to warring parties. When he was caught by an FBI, he was immediately released because “he is needed by the government.” If you are so naive about the world, war is caused during peaceful times to create a balance. There will always be war. Peace is a pipe dream. War does not have an antonym. It’s the reality.

Love Songs In My Playlist

I have a TOGO playlist in my iPod Nano containing 8 songs. They are all love songs save one. Most of my collections contain songs of heartbreaks. I’m not saying I’m heartbroken. I think good songs are written during a downfall of an artist because there are so many emotions. An artist who didn’t experience a downfall isn’t an artist at all — in my opinion. (more…)

Not A Gloomy Sunday

Okay, before the night passes, let me make an entry. I won’t be commenting on a subject because I’ve realized that I’ve been onto a single subject and that’s the movies. I should get out more… Soon, that time will come [my dear once-in-a-blue-moon reader should know]. Anyway, I’ll record my day so that I can compare it with my gloomy Sunday last week. (more…)

Boredom Struck

Sunday. Boredom struck me. I was in the verge of depression – I may as well have been. I tried to sleep it off, but I can’t. My eyes are being pulled inside, yet I can’t keep them closed. Thoughts are empty, yet I feel tireless. I wanted to get out and watch a movie, but nothing is worth watching these past few weeks. Rented movies are too depressing and mind boggling. My mind’s not in the mood to think. Nothing on TV worth watching. Nobody worth talking to. I can’t write. Paranoid. I felt like ending. (more…)

Let’s earn a few bucks. It’s not really a necessity since hardly anybody visits this page. It doesn’t hurt the website layout and it doesn’t annoy the reader(s). Who knows, maybe in a month I get many visitors reading my recorded thoughts.

Today I slept on the bus and somebody woke me up at the terminal. That sure took my sleepiness away. I always oversleep and other passengers always wake me up… and it never feel comfortable. Today while walking the busy streets of downtown New York, all I can think of was the passenger who woke me up staring at me because I sure wore a colorful polo shirt and it’s not so hard to spot me. I didn’t even get a glimpse of my wake up caller because I was so ashamed to face her.

I also realized that I’m getting thinner and thinner as the summer goes on. How do I know that? Well I had to adjust my watch band down a notch. I eat a lot too and drink a lot of Coke again. Maybe I just need more sleep because it’s summer I dehydrate myself more rapid than during the winter. How I thought of that, I don’t know. Speaking of sleep, all I did Sunday was sleep.

I’ve caught up with Naruto a month ago and I’ve just gotten over my withdrawal period. The series is not yet over and I think it won’t be for the next couple of years or so. They release two episodes a month and an episode is more or less 20 minutes long. It’s frustrating waiting for the next episode. Thankfully, I get to like Bleach. I have exactly 100 episodes to catch up to. (BTW, I’m also awaiting next episodes of Kenichi).
