its superbowl weekend again! (feb.1)

and the patriots are going to be in it! wooohhooo! its going to be interesting... will he be more confident? will he run around more? or will he be like how he was 2 years ago and just stick to unbelievably accurate and precise passes. (in short, conservative) will i keep my eyes glued on him? yes! he's cute. yum.

he=tom brady

but elway's still the best football daddy of them all. :P

they are needy, clingy and selfish. nothing comes after the perfunctory how-are-you. well, sometimes there is, but quicker than you can go to your second paragraph, the spotlight is back on them.

these are the dense parasites


then there are those who are simply in need of company. your heart goes out to them and instinctively you want to help.

these are the sweet troubled souls


most of the time, the good Lord sprinkles your life page with inconspicuous beings. they wont make a big impact on your life but they are there because you need them to. consider them as your consolation prize for the dense parasites sucking you dry.

these are the incidentals


once in a while, you come across a rare breed of people whose souls wonderfully sway to the same rhythm as yours. a smile, a look, or quiet time together can be the antidote to the toxicity of life. and it works both ways.

these are your angels


and then there are those people whom you have shared so much with but because of the unavoidable strain of growing apart have become virtual strangers. only when this hits you do you realize that, yes, it was good. emphasis on "was" - past tense. and then melancholia sets in because

they are your regrets

thank you..but im still holding you to your promise...

nobody is allowed to say anything about the new template...

ROCHELLE f French
French feminine form of ROCCO. Otherwise it could derive from the name of a French city meaning "little rock".

note:
ROCCO m Italian
Italian name derived from the Germanic element hrok meaning "rest".

resting little rock...such a name. conjures up images of motion, dynamism and zest.

Look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong girl the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me

Roll to me

Look into your heart pretty baby
Is it aching with some nameless need
Is there something wrong and you can't put your finger on it
Right then roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there

So don't try to deny it pretty baby
You've been down so long you can hardly see
When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining
It's the right time to roll to me

Roll to me
Roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there

So look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong girl the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me

The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me
Ooh

- Roll to me, Del Amitri


not that i really think this is so....

dodo birds

they're the direct descendants of the dodo birds. i swear to god, they are! they even have the dumb-look down to pat! During the first day with them, i kept seeing the dodo birds and their three watermelons! (think ICE AGE movie) On the second day, i knew i was unfair to the ice age dodo birds, this present day bunch was way worse!

they're plain stupid....and unlike the extinct bird, they were not amusing.

****

on "emulsifiers can dissolve epidermal lipids"

(we had patiently explained that "dissolve" merely connotes "binding" to the skin lipid barrier)

dodo birds: "so, when we use products with emulsifiers, our skin will dissolve?"

INAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so we had to patiently (but i was rolling my eyes all the while) go thru the explanation again...for the nth time!

dodo birds: e kasi sabi "dissolve" e!

i was about to leave out of sheer frustration when one alpha dodo bird spoke up, "E PAG SINABI BANG NA-DISSOLVE ANG ISANG SALES DISTRICT, NATUTUNAW BA ANG MGA MED REPS SA DISTRICT NA YUN?!?!?!"

amen.

****

i do not wish to recall the other DUH! questions and comments, i do not wish to have my first bout with hypertension.

****
disclaimer:

i am not the smartest nor the most articulate person this side of manila. in fact, i know that there are a lot of things i have yet to learn.

but i can think.

those dodo birds cant.

anxiety sunday

my hands are sweaty, there is a gnawing sensation in my chest, and my feet are cold. all because tomorrow, instead of spending the morning in bed resting after a chaotic family get together, i will be driving to smog-filled, bad traffic mecca ortigas to report for work.

id rather eat beef.



scratch that!

id rather cross the sahara barefoot.

(egypt on my mind)

****

my little bronchioles havent been mingling with mr. nic for (lemme count...) 12 days now. i was all set to bid nic farewell early december but im just someone with a frail constitution and was swayed to postpone it till the new year.

i will say nay to anyone in the office who invites me to an ST (smoke time).

God give me strength.

for my koollit little friend...

admittedly, i have no idea how it went, but nevertheless...

There are three desires that I have found essential in a woman’s heart…

…Not every woman wants a battle to fight, but every woman wants to be fought for. Listen to the longing of a woman’s heart : She wants to be more than noticed --- she wants to be wanted. She wants to be pursued….

…Every woman also wants an adventure to share. A woman doesnt want to be the adventure; she wants to be caught up in something greater than herself. "To be cherished and fought for - yes. But also, I want to be strong and be a part of the adventure."

...And finally, every woman wants to have a beauty to unveil. Not to conjure, but to unveil. There is also a deep desire to simply and truly be the beauty, and be delighted in. "Do you see me? Are you captivated by what you see?"
