so what have I been up 2 lately? I've been offline so long now & my think-tank's all but empty what with work & camp & stuff.

Otherwise I'm still sane, which is comforting isn't it?

so what's new?

I'm surviving life as a BMT commander so far.

I'm getting to know my colleagues & how shit works & all that boring stuff so I think I'll be alright.

Went out with zairi, ramesh & jared on Friday, straight after booking out, after sleepless nights all the way from Tuesday I didn't expect much.

All I wanted was to get home, have a shower & sleep the rest of the day off.

Things don't often work out as planned, as many of life's experiences have taught me;

so I went to watch a movie, Jet Li's 'Fearless'. It was good. The action sequences were as a Jet Li movie should be, in your face hardcore baby.

After which I met up with Jared, & what was left of the group I was with, Zai, Ramesh & myself...

to cut things short I got home at about 8 in the morning.

I wasn't even thinking of how Jared & I were gonna make it in time for the jam session with Jamal at 1:30...

it wasn't eve na good session, i think sometihngs wrong with Jamal's gadget, it keeps giving off feedback.

i'm bringing earplugs next time.

Anyways, this weekend was a sleepless one but at least I'm on holiday till Tuesday morning.

whta's in store for me in the next few days? well, alot really...

i'm not telling, not yet anyways.

i'm reading Roald Dahl's collection of short stories.

It's a good read!

Tales of the macabre & morbid, just what the doctor ordered...

2 zreo zero 6.....

what a year it's been...

Lola's passed, she's in a better place now.

The Gumapon siblings finally had a reunion.

I bet Lolo was happy to see all his children under the same roof again.

Ronald came back to Philly, I saw my beloved nieces, met up with the Quismundo clan, almost comlete except for the absence of my brothers & JR & his siblings.

I'm a sergeant, & have a year & 3 mths to go...

I met Nathan,finally.

We went out, me Payat, Bam2x & his cousin who came back from Australia for Christmas; It's funy, The day i landed in Davao, after one of the memorial services for Lola, i met up with them, a reunion of sorts.

Gosh, most of my batchmates graduate this march.

my thoughts are all a-buzz.

Must be the vodka...

I've been drinking while watching the Minority Report DVD just now..

Still drinking though.

I've managed to finish only about a fifth or sixth of the bottle.

So much has happened, I can't keep up.

What to expect in the coming months of the new year?

I don't know...

I've to save for some projects my dad is planning.

Regrets? Lots.

Though hopes & dreams of achieving them are close to becoming reality.

Ham & vodka.

M&m'stm go quite well.

I still miss Dumaguete, my friends & family.

It's a comfort when I'm around them.

Where you are in the world doesn't matter.

What matters most is who you're with.

the Philippines;

I woudn't exchange it for the world.

Happy new year.

It's all good, in life & in death, may we find the & peace & love, in these dark times...

It's late & I've got a fifth to finish before I can call it a day.

taiwan was a blast. I'm gonna miss my section mates as well as life as a trainee. more monkeys are gonna be crawling all over my back. *sigh it comes with the job.

Coral Island 2315.

Taiwan rockstaaasss!!!
me, khai, sgt deadly, buddy dearest, souljah, manjan singh, black lion, sotong, & pauly didadi.

trashing the hotel room, stocking up on beer & liquor, drinking & stuffing ourselves with junk food all day all night watching some lame striptease channel with cheesy Chinese music in the background...

I remember the night I fell asleep in my shades & jegan & hamant kicked me & heikal out of our own room cos they scored some hookers..
What stories we heardin the morning.
they couldn't take it anymore.
3 weeks in Taiwan with guys?
I know how they feel... hehe.. that night was hilarious.

Still, it looks like I was the strongest drinker among all of em, with the exception of mathen whom I think can take me on anytime.
I'll be looking forward to that.
So now I'm entering a new phase.
I'm a 3 striped fly now.
I got maggots to fry.

hehe.

I watched Harry Potter with the guys along with George & Edith. It was ok.
Emma Watson is cute.
I'm drooling all over the keyboard right now.
Otherwise today wasn't so bad.
I'm glad I've got a few days off so I can recuperate from the vigorous of the past few weeks.
I've been staying up late but getting more than 8 hrs of sleep.
I''v got that McDonald's(TM) feeling!

Everything seems to be a countdown to something else, significant, relevant, inconsequential, intersected, interdimensional nonchalantly flying about the depths of rational understanding; an unkown destination of which the end becomes unimportant, unless of course the means by which the end is achieved serves a greater purpose, intangible, therefore null & void, free from the inferiority of human judgment.

what I mean to say, pretentious intelligent intellectual banter aside,
I'm leavin' on a jet plane, Friday.

Destination- Taiwan
purpose- conscripted soldier boy shit G4 classified.
Duration of stay- 3 weeks
Aim- to climb mountains, bash through thick jungle, dig shit holes, to not bathe for 2 weeks; regurgigate anything & everything I've learnt this few months of training & hope I don't screw up, & still manage to have a good, memorable enjoyable hell of a time.

g' bye folks.

This may be my 2nd last entry before I go on a 3 week hiatus, of which I may be dead & gone, victim of some freak accident, thus ending my so called journey to depart on another, greater than the last.
Or I might just come back in one piece, everythings fine & dandy, more borrowed to time to waste, & go on ranting & raving about the state of the world & life & death & the fear of the eternal sadness that is to follow if we don't discover the path to the Great Happy.

see yah when I see yah!
