We, the orange E-racing team are delighted to have squeezed out of the semis of our league. we won the deciding match last night. we had all the luck we needed. thought the game was a bit controversial, our desire to win still prevailed. so now, we elevated ourselves, again, to the best of 3 championship round. as of writing this, i still don't know who won the other game last night. the winner of that game will be our opponent in the finals.
kudos to the our team for grabbing a seat in the finals of our basketball tournament! May the force be with us all!!
a side note: i got six points last night, all from the 3 point arc. cheers to me, as they are the only three point attempts i tried all season, and i made them both!

an ode to her
after a hard day at work
i look forward to getting home
always eager to have a sight of her
seeing her dancing around her small room
takes away all the stress from the day
though she does her things
in the quiet of herself
you can see in her
the joy of seeing you at home with her
though we see each other every night
still you'll see in her eyes
she misses not having your sight
so each night before i sleep
i make it a point to commune with her
even if commune means just to sit beside her
the bond between us just gets better...

rants, raves & nonsense v2
i'm sleepy... i wish i'm at home, in front of the tv, watching the pistons and heat battle it out to determine who'll face the spurs in the nba finals, or just lie on my bed, hug my pillow tight, and spend the whole day sleeping (better if it rains hard, so the weather cools a bit)... sigh... instead i'm here at the office, staring at my monitor, pretending to be doing something, when in fact, i've already finished what i'm suppossed to do for today.
it's a good thing we can browse through the web here, even if i can't watch the eastern conference finals game 7, i can monitor the scores in the numerous sports pages available. I also won't be bored much because i have my iPod for listening to music.
ooooohhhhh... hindi ko maisip... kung wala ka... oooohhhhh... sa buhay ko....
Non-sense naman tong pinapagawa sa amin eh... they want us to prepare something for our BAs, a sort of proof that we tested the functions we created, and a copy of the data we used in testing... i bet they won't look at any of these docs... would you care reading the contents of a text file with 300,000+ lines???
Thank God i'm finished with those docs. That frees me up for today. I don't have any scheduled activities yet. Tinatamad naman ako anyway, so even if i have some tasks today, i'll most likely not do them, harharharhar...
to be, is all i gotta be, and all that i see, and all that i need this time, to me, the life you gave, the day you said goodnight...
she's already taken, she's already taken, she's already taken me, she's already taken, she's already taken, she's already taken me...
the day you said goodnight....
My head aches, kelangan kong itulog to, kaya lang, hindi pwede. Haaaaayyyyy life.....
Pasaway ako kaya kahit hindi pwede, matutulog ako!!! HarHarHarHar
coz there's a blue sky, waiting tomorrow, waiting tomorrow, shining and shimmering, a blue sky, waiting tomorrow, baby it's all we need...
Nakakabore... gusto kong humiga... namimiss ko kama ko...
Buti na lang, Hale's pumping up in the background, straight from my iPod... somehow tanggal ang boredom.. with matching sabay pa ako sa pagkanta...
i need you here tonight, i need you here inside, i need you here tonight, i really really need you here.. tonight...
Maka-isip na nga ng ibang gagawin!!! Haaaaaayyyyy....

daydreaming
Five in the morning. I'm battling with myself, resisting the urges to just lay there close my eyes and feel the soft sheets against my back. I have to get up, even if its against my will.
I turned to the opposite side of the bed, and there beside me, as she always is, having that very innocent look and that very lovely face. Waking up with the sight of her can't be beat by anything. It's the most spectacular feeling i've ever felt.
I could spend the whole morning just staring at her. But i have to get up. This is her day. We have what we call a "royalty" day. You spend the day being the king/queen, if its your scheduled day. We do this only once a month, and today happens to be her day. So i have to get up and start serving my queen.
I sat up, looked at her one final time, gave her a light kiss (just a small touch of the lips to her forehead, since i don't want to wake her up yet), and started uncovering myself from the sheets. I reached for my slippers under the bed, and started for the restroom. I walked as silently as i can. Though the door to the bathroom is just a few paces away from the bed, it seemed to me like a mile away. It's like walking clandestinely to an imaginary target, trying your best to do it with complete stealth in order not to be noticed by anything around.
I finished my morning rituals as quickly as possible and as fast as i can so that i can start preparing breakfast for my queen. I headed to the door of our room and went down the stairs to our kitchen. Its still dark, the sun does not rise until six am during this month.
First off is for me to have a cup of coffee, to give me a little perk. I just realized, it was quite cold, so the coffee would help me to warm up a bit.
I went to the fridge to get some eggs and the ham i bought yesterday before we got home. I had trouble finding the pan i'll use for cooking, but found it anyway after several minutes of opening and closing cabinet doors. I still have a difficult time memorizing where everything is hidden, but i'm sure i'll get used to knowing where to find anything i need.
I took a sip of my coffee before starting to cook the egg and the ham. I also took out the bread slices we've had since two days ago, and placed two of them in the toaster. I browsed through the mail we got yesterday as i waited for the egg and ham and toasts to cook. We weren't able to go through the mail last night since we got home very late and tired.
The toasts are done, as well as the first of the two eggs. The ham's still cooking, as i placed the second batch of slices in the toaster. I took another sip of coffee then went to tidy up the place a little. I finished cooking before i got halfway through my coffee. I was also done tidying up around. I set-up the breakfast tray and prepared my queen's breakfast. I have some instant fruit juice to come along with her toast, egg and ham.
I went upstairs with the breakfast treat for my queen. When i entered the door. I saw her there, still curled up in bed, the way i left her earlier. She's still there staring at me innocently, with pillows encased in her arms, and the sheets down to her waist.
As i laid down the breakfast tray on the table beside the bed, i can't stop thinking how lucky i am having her as my "queen". I'm so thankful she's with me here right now. Waking up with her every morning gives me such a feeling of awe, and exhilaration. It makes me smile every morning i see her staring right back at me, wearing that innocent smile. It really completes your day even before it starts. I won't trade that feeling with any other feeling.
I just sat beside her. watching her sleep through the rest of the early morning. i decided against waking her up for breakfast. I decided to just sit there and watch her sleep, and spend the rest of the morning thinking how lucky i am waking up beside the most wonderful person, and the most precious part of my life, my queen, my wife.

rants, raves & nonsense v1
to your superiors, you're busy, but you're not busy enough, so to make you busier, you get loaded with additional tasks to complete.
---------------------------------------------
today's our code cut-off, but i'm not sure if this is something to rave about, it just means our days of staring at the monitor and punching at the keyboard's keys will be put at an end (at least for the time being). the real score is after we pass this codes for review, are we good, or are we headed to the water lilies (read: pupulutin sa kangkungan)?
we'll see....
---------------------------------------------
it's 11:14 am, and i'm already sleepy... or is it i'm still sleepy? i'm excited about the weekend... i can finally have some decent amount of sleep... i just hope it will rain tomorrow morning, it'll be the perfect way to make up for lost dream time... hehehehehehe
---------------------------------------------
my fiancee bought me a canned sweetened mango juice... i'm staring at it right now... she bought it more than a week ago... canned drinks do make good displays in office desks, or good paper weights, or maybe good weapons of retaliation, should my bosses start bugging me again... i haven't opened the can yet, by the way...
---------------------------------------------
back to work... time to get my shell scripts out... time to do some final checking... maybe later i'll get back here..
ciao!
---------------------------------------------
speaking in general, you're good, but you're not good enough, so you strive harder to bring yourself closer to perfection.---------------------------------------------

sunday's scheduled for food tasting at Tamayo's in Villa Imaculada (Intramuros, Manila). it will also be a chance to see how San Agustin church is decorated for wedding celebrations. Sunday will be cool! errrrrr... maybe not, the weather's still sizzling hot, by the way...---------------------------------------------

"look me in the eye---------------------------------------------
and reach for my soul
touch me where i'll feel it
it won't be hard
just keep your cool
you just hold out your hand
wait for me to mellow down
eventually i'll reach out
i'll be the one to hold your hand"
back to work... time to get my shell scripts out... time to do some final checking... maybe later i'll get back here..
ciao!
