oh yeah

jumped to cbeck's blog and saw the link to this.

for my generation which grew up watching transformers, this is a treat. :)

it's got to be one of the coolest, if not the coolest commercial i've ever seen. check it out.

sleepy sunday

summer is here. the heat is too much.

watching a bird in a cage hanging by the neighbor's window. he just paces to and fro, watching the birds here in the area just flying free. it must suck to be him.

i have half a mind to get a stick and try to open that cage. poor bird.

hate to be him.

getting morbid after the wedding post

lessons from a wedding

went to my sister's best friend's wedding to my sister's boyfriend's fraternity brother yesterday.

it was one of the most beautiful weddings i have ever attended -- the music was good, the priest was good, and everybody looked happy. plus the food was good too.

but like any other experience, there are things that you will learn:

1. it is next to impossible to completely button a bustier if you're alone in the car; wearing a skirt over your shorts in the car is next to next to impossible.

2. lotion on your feet, killers heels, and steep steps do not, i repeat -- do not, go well together.

3. driving for 2 hours along south super highway with your window open will get the nails on your left hand dirty, but not your right.

4. the most beautiful person in a wedding is the bride, no matter how sleep deprived, tense, or tired she is.

5. sometimes, weddings make you cry.

6. white roses are still prettier than red ones.

7. when they said "sonya's garden bed and breakfast" they really meant the garden part.

8. peeing in a bathroom with humongous screens overlooking a garden makes you feel horribly naked.

9. sun dried tomatoes rock.

empty chairs and empty tables

it's been 4 days since the people here in my immediate vicinity were put on forced leave.

it tends to be quiet sometimes.

too quiet. sometimes i can hear my heart sobbing.

it's been 20 days...

give me a year. maybe two. maybe the rest of this lifetime.

i remember

archie.

he used to call me snowflake.

wherever you are, you're still missed.

i spoke too soon

right after i posted the previous entry we got a call from the higher ups telling me that they'll be down shortly and that i'm going to do a demo for some foreign visitors. demo of the program that we've been using.

i only had 5 minutes. as luck would have it, i couldn't access the application. when i finally got it open, i couldn't find a file that was not locked. so the application was useless.

i winged it. opened several windows and started off with -- if this were working, this is how it's going to work. blah.

it was over soon, and they didn't have questions for me. either they understood me completely, or i made no sense whatsoever and asking questions would only compound the confusion.

so there.

i should not say i'm bored. something always comes up.

run that by me again?

in my dream i was drowning my sorrows
but my sorrows, they learned to swim
-u2, until the end of the world

i could drink a case of you, darling
still i'd be on my feet, i'd still be on my feet.
-joni mitchell, case of you

don't want to know who's to blame
it won't help knowing...
-tell me on a sunday

now you see me now you don't watch me dive below
deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go..
-don mclean, birthday song

guess i'm just bored.

how's this for a grad pic?

this morning our resident photographer was looking for some photos in the apartment. he came across the graduation pictures he took of me way back in 1997. he's taken a lot of pictures of me but this is my favorite picture so far.

i'm electric

way back in college we had this class where we had to choose a concept for a room, design it, and defend it. we chose a computer room. piece of cake, right?

we had it all down -- the number of computers, the ergonomic computations, movement study, color, efficiency, etc....

one member of the panel asked "what is the static coefficient of your carpet?"

to say we were stumped would be the understatement of that year. we hadn't the faintest idea what she was talking about. she must have noticed the absolutely blank looks on our faces because she proceeded to explain what she meant.

something about the presence of computers which increased the static of the carpet. so we needed a carpet that would suppress it. i forget now whether the static coefficient should be higher or lower.

we passed though. thank goodness.

anyway, the reason i remembered is because never a week goes by here in the office that i don't get electrocuted (for the lack of a better word) everytime i go near cubicles or i lean on the divisions. i've gotten used to it some, but i still get startled and i jerk away. good thing it's not the type of electricity that burns.

i suppose i should have paid better attention to that static coefficient thingie.

but for now, you live. you learn.

another 29 years

You Will Die at Age 58

58 Not bad, considering your super wild lifestyle Want to live longer? Try losing a few bad habits.

What Age Will You Die?

this means i've lived half my life already, and what have i got to show for it, i wonder?

dark angel

that's the name of the horse i rode this morning. he was swift and light on his feet. like i always say, the closest i could get to flying.

of course now i can't walk straight and my back hurts like hell from trying to stay on the horse without the help of a saddle. but it was well worth it.

must do this again.

oh. YOU WANT HEAD?

i've taken to wearing my earphones while working even if the cd player is off. that way people approach carefully. and i like it that way. :) i'm such a faker.
