the b book

just finished reading Para Kay B again. i saw the book a year a go but didnt really bothered to read a bit or even pick on the shelves. i guess during that time i kept anything that something to do with love at the bottom of my list. but then a lot of things happened and suddenly im appreciating love stories. i dont know it if its the maturity that is kicking in or something else.

Para Kay B tells a fictional story about 5 women who struggles to be happy on their chosen people to love, authored by Ricky Lee who have done a lot of works in the field of script writing. the stories are very sensual, funny and witty. it will brutally break your heart and the fact that the stories are not even that far fetch from being real will crush you even more to pain until happiness is felt. i think Ricky Lee is a sadist .

PSYCHOLOGY PERSONALITY test result:

below are your PSYCHOLOGY PERSONALITY test result:
*You love the crowd... a party animal! Too many “friends”, you can’t easily tell which among them is real and not...
*You hide your emotions... Sometimes pretending to be always happy. Sometimes, not giving even a hint of what you really feel.
*You love deeply... you may flirt along and people think you’re a playboy/playgirl but the truth is: your heart belongs to only one.
*You have so many ideas in mind... You’re creative and aggressive! If you want something, you’ll do anything to get it!
*You’re an ideal boyfriend/girlfriend... You don’t care if your partner doesn’t really love you as long as you love him/her. You give your all...
*You’re intimidating! People have an impression that you’re elite—or if not, you simply look sophisticated. You gain praises but not companions.
*You love actions... with the hero-like taste! You focus on your strengths and use them to protect persons/things that are important to you.


===========

yeah right...

fault #1: i'm not a crowd person, i hate crowd. 
fault #2: despite of me being liberated as they say, i am very idealistic. i do care if my significant other is not reciprocating, that's the primal reason why i quit it. (thou shall not be named)

Lising

It was Christmas, and I wrote one story. You know that joke became a byword? Everybody was using it during Christmas time. It’s about the Three Kings. Somebody told them, you just follow the star, and when it stops, that’s where the Savior will be. So the star stopped, and below it was the manger.

So they all dismounted, bearing their gifts, frankincense and myrrh. . . . The first king went inside, and then the second king went in. When the third king was going in, he tripped and said, “Oh, Jesus Christ!” And then Joseph said,

“You know, Mary, that’s a better name than Irving.” Irving Christ . . .

Johnny Carson was laughing his head off.

random thoughts.1

ramdam ko ang pagparam ng langit.

hanggang sa kumindat and mga bituin 

at umawit ng uyayi ang buwan.

maluwang ang kama, 

ngunit tanging kumot ang humahagkan.


pilit na sinasalat 

sa bawat sulok nitong himlayan

ngnit di na madama ang init ng iyong katawan.

wala na ang mga malamlam na hininga.

walang makikinig sa kwento ng nagdaang maghapon.

walang kasalo sa pighimbing.

cream puff

cream puff from MeiDoll's Maid Cafe


MeiDolls Maid Cafe is the “first ever Maid Café in the Philippines,” following the maid cafe trend that started in Japan. the cafe is located in front of Brookside Subd. (Cainta, Rizal) at the Rublou Complex that is being built there, it's just a bus, jeep or fx away from Robinsons Galleria. i heard that the official opening will be on january next year and they will have a soft run this sunday, 12/18/10. they will serve breakfast, snacks, dairies, pastries, coffee, tea and some organic stuffs.


i think they're still hiring waitresses for full time and part time jobs so check their site if interested. they have a multiply and facebook accnt. cant remember the web addresses so just google it.


MeiDolls Maid Cafe is currently at the ToyCon 2010 in Mega Trade Hall1 with food booth "goshujinsama" serving cream puffs, brownies and frappes.

inhale/exhale

Secondhand smoke kills, you know. It's far worse than the fumes you inhale directly. Take diethylene, one of those nasty carcinogens your doctor might have warned you about on your last visit. Firsthand smoke has between 5.3 and 43 nanograms of diethylene, where as, secondhand smoke has 680 and 823 nanograms.Then we've got quinoline, another effective one, secondhand smoke has 18,000 nanograms; 11 times more than the amount you're sucking down firsthand. You can make the choice to blacken your lungs, but don't expect to enforce that on me.

mga piraso ng isang alaala mula sa hinaharap

xx: would you laugh if i tell you that i came from the future?

xy: why would you tell me something like that?

xx: in the time where i came from, memory can be altered to the extent of your desire. i was a fool back then and i purposely lose my memory. and in a way, it made me unable to remember things that qualifies to be useless for my physical living.

xy: why go back in this time?

xx: this time is the earliest record that we have. despite of knowledge that man attined in our time, it cost us to lose a lot of things. i learned that there is no limit for memory here. i thought... maybe, i can restore my memory or atleast... learn how to remember. so i can have a memory that i can cherrish.

xy: true that we keep a memory as much as we want, but as much as we want to forget, a memory is a memory. i may say that i have forgotten something in my past but i know to my self that i'm only fooling myself. sometimes i wish that there is something that will erase those memories... probably get into an accident and have amnesia.

xx: that's a terrible thing to say

xy: its terrible that we end up like this...

xx: you think so...? 

xy: you could have better memories with someone else. you could've been happier. i'm selfish, all i think is my past, myself. i never thought how your feelings are with me. i never cared about your past that brought you here.

xy: now... knowing that you came here for something... probably everything is a failure because of me.

xx: i knew that i can't restore my memories, serves me right. but i'm happy that i've met you

xy: why dont you go back again to the past and meet someone else and do everything all over again.

xx: going back to the past will not correct anything, we should focus on what we have right now and anything that will come ahead of us. i learned my lesson when i travelled back in this time. besides i can only go back once... and even if i can go back again, i would still find a way to meet you. not to make everything better but to do everything all over again with you. 

xy: that's a very comforting thought...

xy: if fate will allow and we happen to see each other again... i promise i'll be a better person. not only in the preference of others but also for myself.

xx: i'd love to see that. 

xy: do you really have to go?

xx: i have to... time will not wait for no one.
