CHANGED RELATIONSHIP STATUS (Facebook)

And so the other night I changed my Facebook relationship status from In a Relationship to Single.

Now let me clarify that that was just a whim, an experiment of sorts based on a long-ago conversation between him and me. He said no one really cares about status updates in social networking sites like Friendster and Facebook. I disagreed. We debated, nobody really won, end of discussion. The conversation popped into my mind that night and I decided to see which of us is right.

People noticed, a few commented and even he himself reacted. So I guess I was right after all.

3 of 3, check!

Addict that I am, I went ahead and got the other two books in the TRESE series last night. And finished devouring them both in one sitting. And all I can say is, THE SERIES FRIGGIN' ROCKS! Will post a proper review when I find the time, before the week ends.

Two thumbs up to Budjette Tan and KaJo Baldisimo!

discovery: Pinoy komiks

Just finished TRESE: Murder on Balete Drive, the first of three horror/crime comic books created by Budjette Tan and KaJo Baldisimo. I am not a big fan of Pinoy komiks, but this is really good. As in really, really good. In fact, it sorta reminds me of Neil Gaiman's style in the Sandman series and novel American Gods, although this is distinctively Pinoy. Needless to say, I am thoroughly impressed and plan to buy the other two books.

a new start, maybe?

I have been trying since time immemorial to be organized and make something out of the chaos that is my life. Testament to this is the numerous datebooks and organizers I've accumulated in the past--all filled up only a couple of months at most. I've stopped using organizers since I realized that I am just wasting good money on planners that are not helping me get organized in the least. All the phones I've used have an organizer of sorts but aside from the usual birthdays and occasional can't-let-pass happenings, they've remained mostly unused.

Since the year is fast drawing to a close, all sorts of planners and organizers once again abound in bookstores and shop counters. I never really paid any attention, but this article somehow got me interested in maybe, just maybe, giving self-organization one more chance.

Anywho, I am not getting any younger with each passing day notwithstanding my kid-at-heart outlook in life. It's high time I act even a little like my real age and be an adult in the real sense. How scary. It is gonna be a challenge, that's for sure. Just thinking up of worthy, meaningful stuff to put in those blank pages is already a big hurdle, sloth that I am.

Speaking of which, that reminds me I just finished getting evaluated at work. I admit I am not surprised to hear that my superiors expect a bit more initiative on my part as a prerequisite of my position. They were kind enough to attribute my passivity to my relative lack of experience, being new (compared to them) in this line of work. You could probably guess that I let out a BIG sigh of relief having my annual evaluation over with and getting decent marks despite my initial misgivings. Just makes me all the more jazzed up to have a new start in the coming year.

Song of the Moment

"Dark Waltz"
(Hayley Westenra)

We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the colour runs together

I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Time dances whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven

Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin
Oh let me wheel - let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light

[Beautiful song. Poetry as music. Classic.]

getting prematurely depressed

So. I just saw the last of him this afternoon--I have no idea when we'll get together again. The thought gets me down as nothing else could. He's still in the country but I am already getting depressed. Damn.

Oh, and I've had my butt-length cut yesterday. It's now just a little past my shoulder blades. I was in a shock for quite some time after the haircut, but I'm out of my funk now.

too much blood

For as far as I could remember, I've had this fascination (almost bordering on obsession) with vampires. Yeah, even before the vampire fad brought on by Edward Cullen. It started I think with Anne Rice's Coven of the Beloveds (I totally loooove Lestat de Lioncourt), although I really can't be sure. For my English Lit book review, I used (surprise, surprise!) Bram Stoker's Dracula. And sue me for being a conformist here, but I do like the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn most especially.

You could probably guess how thrilled I was when I discovered the Vampire Wars app on Facebook. I'm not exactly addicted, but I play and I sure do love looking at all those avatars. Here's my current avatar:


Nowadays, I am hardly alone in my pursuit of the darkness, so to speak. It gets kinda annoying though, in a way. With vampire novels cropping up left and right, and even more fans/freaks lapping them up, I am just another one in an ocean of vampire freaks. What really bugs me though are those who just got on the vampire fad bandwagon just because of the Twilight Saga. Excuse me for pointing this out, but worshiping Edward Cullen does not a real vampire freak make. The lovably obnoxious yet self-deprecating Lestat still gets my vote over the more-of-a-saint-than-a-dark-creature Edward, thank you very much.

back to old school

Contrary to the usual upgrade of gadgets, I just downgraded and got myself an �ber-simple talk-and-text-and-nothing-else mobile phone in place of my also outdated Motorola V3.

Nokia 1661

There is something to be said about getting rid of clutter and I reckon it's high time I get something that is just exactly what I need, nothing more and nothing less. The flat keypad makes clickety noises when typing and it gets really annoying when you're trying to be discreet, otherwise it does the job just fine.

another development

The new Multiply panorama view is rather nifty:

Now I don't even have to go out of the Inbox (pun intended) to read everything. Currently it's available only for Premium users, but soon it will be available for everyone.
