The Night’s Exhibition 2008-04-05 18:01:28 She stared at the dirt
On the hem of her skirt
Wondering how it got there
Not knowing what from where
As she stood stock still
Holding her own breath until
The wind forced her to move
As if trying to prove
To her that she was alive
And that she shouldn’t deprive
Herself of her last chance
To shout out and dance
So dance all night [...] Read more:Night

Brian Gorrell 2008-04-08 09:37:50 Hell hath no fury like a gay, Australian ex-lover of a Filipino socialite (social climber?) who duped him and allegedly swindled $70,000 from him. If you’re Filipino or Australian, I’m pretty sure you’re quite familiar with this tale by now. And I’m pretty sure you’re one of the 2 million people who have visited Brian

The 25th Floor 2008-04-10 22:34:43 Maggie stepped out of the elevator and onto the 25th floor. She looked for training room 2. How the hell am I supposed to find it? She was talking to herself. It was unnervingly quiet in the hallway. There was not even a guard around. Isn’t there supposed to be a guard on duty on [...] Read more:Floor
Don’t Stop 2008-04-23 09:15:52 Lights go on and off
Now it’s dark
And then I see everything
People rocking back and forth
Bodies gyrating
Making sweet, dirty love
Don’t stop
I feel the heat inside my veins
So don’t stop
Don’t ever let go
Of this elusive feeling
It’s food for the soul
The smoke clears
I see you standing still
Your eyes an invitation
We begin to move
It’s centripetal force
Desire fills my body
Don’t [...]
Gossip Girl 2008-04-26 03:19:14 First off, I think it’s a crying shame that Carly’s out of the competition. She’s extremely talented, and everyone knows it. Oh well, I guess Americans are attracted to charm more than to actual talent. But what really, really gets me is that Brooke White and Jason Castro are still in the game. Jason Castro?

Manny Pacquiao… 2008-04-29 08:04:52 …is the new spokesperson for Niké, and is, in fact, the first Asian to ever become a spokesperson for Niké. I am waiting for the new Niké ad to come out. It will feature him with Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and other Niké endorsers.
Well, I’ll be damned!
I guess this is his “fuck you!” to those [...] Read more:Manny
The Answer 2008-04-29 07:39:42 It’s always black or white
It’s never gray
I know this truth by heart despite
The fact I always stray
I’m looking for the in-between
Although I know there’s none
I’m searching for what’s never seen
While right in front’s the one
But is this one heart really here?
I ask time and again
For oftentimes I’m gripped by fear
As now goes back to then
But [...]
What’s up? 2008-05-12 07:32:38 Last night, I argued with an elderly woman at work. She’s American, and you know how demanding Americans can be. Anyways, she seemed to think that I was trying to take advantage of her. I will not be discussing our argument in detail. But I did find our conversation funny (I don’t reckon she did, [...]
David Cook, David Cook, David Cook!!! 2008-05-15 05:07:00 I gotta rush off now, but let me just say, for the record, that I believe with all my heart that David
Cook will be the next American Idol. Fancy a wager?
Oh, and before I go, let me post the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time, one of the songs that [...]
What’s in a Name? 2008-05-15 04:46:50 I am not going to spend what I have left of my one day off blogging, but since I do miss it, I feel the need to post something really quick. I just finished browsing my trainer’s Multiply site anonymously. (On Multiply, if you’re logged in, people will know if and when you view their [...]
Glory 2008-05-25 13:29:42 From Glory’s site: “Better late than pregnant…” Hahaha!
I am secretly fascinated with my first trainer at CMG. Her name is Glory. The first week of training, I Googled her. I found her Multiply site, found out that she is an actress, and that she comes from a famous family. Her dad and uncle are in [...]
Sins and Dreams and Whatnot 2008-05-25 12:58:31 My friend, I think, is making a mistake.
I wish I didn’t care, but I do.
After analyzing her situation (and after channeling my inner guru), I have come to the conclusion that she is, indeed, committing a humongous mistake.
I am an imp, though, so I am - er - aiding and abetting her.
Never ask me for [...] Read more:Dreams
No title 2008-05-25 11:27:12 There is a song that I just cannot get out of my head and makes me want to dance all day and all night long. I bought the Step Up 2 soundtrack, and I have the song in repeat mode on my car stereo. I listen to it on my way to work, on my [...]
American Idol 2008-05-25 11:01:14 Didn’t I say David Cook would win? I know a star when I see one!
Truth be told, however, I was a little scared that David Archuleta would win after their performances the night before the finals. And I really got scared after Simon said that Archuleta won rounds 1 and 3. So I held [...] Read more:American

Crash and Burn 2008-05-30 23:59:19 The other day, on Thursday, I almost collapsed while shopping at Duty Free. I felt dizzy, the world started spinning, and there was a ringing in my ears. I was taken IN A WHEELCHAIR (it was so embarrassing!!!) to the clinic. The diagnosis? I am, apparently, undernourished. At least, that was what the doctor said. [...]
Bakit? 2008-06-03 07:47:43 Hindi ko mawari
And kagustuhan mo
Ano ba ang
Bumabagabag sa ‘yo?
Nababahala ka ba
Sa mga problema sa buhay?
Ang masasabi ko lang ay
Maganda ang buhay, pare…
Masarap gumalaw, kumilos
Araw-araw,
Magbigay ka lang
Ng panahon
Na matuklasan kung gaano.
Tignan mo ‘ko…
Masaya… laging nakatingala
Sa langit
Dahil alam ko
Na kahit anong mangyari,
Sa huli,
Lahat ay maaayos din.

Multiply, c’mon! 2008-06-05 06:30:21 It’s taking so long to upload photos to Multiply
! Grrr! I have only managed to upload to My Space and Picasa, but it’s Multiply that’s important because that’s where my friends will grab the photos! I’m only on image 7, and I have about 80 pics to upload! Grrr, grrr, grrr!!!

Beautiful Girls 2008-06-05 05:43:34 Chikkigurl and I promised each other that we would blog about what happened Saturday night. She already wrote something in Friendster Blogs. I, meanwhile, haven’t been able to find the time to write about it until now. But here goes…
Saturday night, two girls, after dancing for hours inside the club (that is not to be [...] Read more:Beautiful

If Life Is Only Once… 2008-06-09 08:54:36 Well, I have yet to come up with an essay of that title. I do, however, have a blog with that name. It’s my poetry blog, which I created almost a year ago. It contains my old poems. I still have to post some poems from 2002, but I’ll give you the link to the [...]
Model 2008-06-09 05:58:43 So what happens when a girl has about a hundred new pics and a whole day of rest?
She chooses a couple and plays with them….
…And then asks you to view them:
A recent conversation:
He-who-shall-not-be-named (looking me up and down): You don’t look like a nurse.
Me: So I’ve been told.
After a few seconds:
Me: So what do [...]
Pilipinas! 2008-06-09 02:05:13 I took that picture from inside my car while I was waiting for the light to turn green. It’s a shot of Katipunan Ave. without the usual traffic. The man walking on the island (you can only see his back) was selling Philippine flags in different sizes. I don’t know if it’s the fact that [...] Read more:Pilipinas
No title 2008-06-10 14:39:48 2 strangers, a boy and a girl, sitting on a park bench
The boy suddenly started talking to the girl:
Boy: Miss, would you wear earrings if you didn’t have ears?
Girl: Huh? No, of course not.
Boy: Would you wear a ring if you didn’t have any fingers?
Girl (now really befuddled): No!
Boy: Then why are you wearing a [...]
My Choice 2008-06-12 08:25:50 I have come to realize
That happiness is not a prize
I have to join a race to win
Or I can claim after I spin
The wheel of fortune of my life
That points to either bliss or strife
Neither is it compensation
For today’s negotiation
Nor is it tomorrow’s deal
I have to fight or fly to seal
It’s nothing of a struggle [...] Read more:Choice
In Case Life Only Happens Once: A Letter 2008-06-14 08:09:46 A,
I hope that now you understand
What you can hold in your own hand
And what you have no power to keep
Nor wish or long for in your sleep
I hope that now you’re able to
Know what you can and cannot do
And see the world’s beautiful still
Though not all dreams you can fulfill
I hope that this time you [...] Read more:Letter
A Wildchild and a Free Spirit 2008-06-14 02:51:50 I asked someone just this morning what people’s first impression of me is. I wanted to know what conclusion people usually come up with just by looking at me, before they even hear me utter a single word or watch me in action. The answer was, “It’s obvious from the get-go that you are a [...]
Daddy 2008-06-20 18:45:47 I am vain, conceited, overconfident, and at times, a snob. But you see, I was raised to be that way. I was raised to believe that I can say anything I want to say and do anything I want to do. I was raised to believe I do not owe the world anything but that [...] Read more:Daddy
Gotcha 2008-07-05 17:59:39 Marina Newby, you posted a comment on my site, implying that I am not a threat.
But if you’re not threatened by me, then why do you keep viewing my site? You’ve been monitoring it for a year now. Why can’t you just leave me alone if you really and truly believe there’s nothing there?
It’s always [...]
To Cristopher Durbin Murphy 2008-07-03 12:30:15 Yes, Cris. You.
You call and you text. I think you know why I never answer you and agree to meet up with you.
This has gone on long enough.
Seriously, dude, you need to do better than that.
You’ll never see me again unless you show me something extraordinary. I don’t care which part of the world you’re [...] Read more:Murphy

Believe 2008-06-27 21:18:30 A friend emailed this to me, and I’ve decided to share it with you. I think the message is lovely.
A Birth Certificate shows that we
were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.
I Believe…
That just because two people [...]
