7:08PM February 13, 2008Drake,It occurred to me that you have been suffering for almost a year now from your brokenheartedness – that it has digressed you away from the original path of young goals and assumed purpose. The sudden emergence of your so-called “love life” is by far the most world-tumbling long-term experience of your life and it has been tormenting you a lot and is putting you to

Last December, my officemate let me try her set of rainbow-colored fabric pois. Little did I know then that I'd actually be interested in twirling pois. Not until last Christmas vacation when I made improvised "sock pois" from old stockings from my grandma's closet and hollow rocks (yes... rocks - means "ouch" when hit) did I realize I was being enthused to this form of art. I practiced some

It's been almost a week since my phone gracefully crashed. The cause? I surely don't know. My phone just can't seem to start up properly. Whenever I push the power button, the LCD lights up, stays that way for a couple of seconds or so, and then shuts off. One of my officemates said it might have been squeezed in my crowded backpack and rendered the it inoperable.For the record, my SE K700i has

It's been a spell since I bothered to update Drake's Ragbag; Seems to me it's been eons already. OK... I'm just exaggerating. Frankly, I've been sporadically present in the blogosphere in the past weeks. No blog hopping and no blog updates.

Culminating my 21st year last October 4th, I've been remembering what has been. A lot of my experiences, I would say, especially with my so-called "queerness", have lapsed quite astonishing; gleeful and fun-filled; at times quirky (a redundancy) and uneasy; passionate; bereft and anguished; but nonetheless rich with erudition and introspection. One reason I like about life is the endless

So, what do I do for the environment? Let me count some of the ways:1. Whenever I buy items from 7-11, especially for a single item, I don't ask or even let the cashier bag my purchase. Also, if I am bringing my own bag, I just dumped my purchase inside it as long as I still have extra space.2. I don't smoke cigarettes.3. I don't have my own vehicle. (If I would, I want it to run with biofuel -

"Since changes are going on anyway, the great thing is to learn enough about them so that we will be able to lay hold of them and turn them in the direction of our desires. Conditions and events are neither to be fled from nor passively acquiesced in; they are to be utilized and directed."- John Dewey... You can't be more miserable or jubilant enough than your own doing.

On the eve of my birthday, I had a taste of how it was to do some martial arts maneuvers with the guidance of an erudite trainer. This was no Chinese martial arts, as most would instinctively assume in their minds. It's Capoeira, a Brazilian dance form of martial arts.Last Monday, when I had my second session, I finally enrolled into the class. Yey! This was like a product of The Secret. Months

I maintain a few icons so as not to clutter and in a way deface my desktop background's visually transmissible solace.

Be them too trivial, prosaic or simply boring to some with hard-to-please funny bones, well for me, they're not.

I saw this board last night while I and my best friend were having dinner at Cocorama. "In a matter of principle, stand like a ROCK"... gosh, that hit at the core when I read it. It seemed so fitting to what had happened to me yesterday morning - made me reflect more on the mistake that I did, for not standing firm on what I believe was right. I stumbled and my rock's bruised. Soon, it'll heal...

The past two months after my Hong Kong sojourn, I would say, was a dramatic experience, with tons of ruptured emotions; Some lingered to thin air. Everything was way overwhelming, too foreign to say the least. My whole system wasn't ready then - I just got back from a wonderful trip and I was well high-spirited. Alas, I broke down, the least that I would expect myself to do.So, what could I

Last Saturday, my Tita-Ninang (auntie and godmother) asked me to bake some of her favorite oatmeal cookies (To tell you honestly, these are the only cookies I know and dared to bake). I've been in long suspension from baking then so I was so eager to do her a favor.These oatmeal cookies I am talking about are just simple butterscotch cookies from a recipe found in my maternal grandfather's

I just had a whirlwind of on-off decisions in the past 24 hours....Yesterday was my supposed departure to Israel but it was called off because of a technical problem of the airline carrier that would take me from Hong Kong to Tel Aviv. I was already at the Centennial Airport when I got the official directive from my office's Admin Assistant that the flight's delayed until August 18. Ergo, I left

I only have three nights left before leaving for Israel. It'll be approximately 17 hours of flight and slack period, Manila being connected to Tel Aviv via Hong Kong.My preparations aren't halfway through; My luggage's not yet filled with my necessities; My brain's not yet trained for technicalities... Instead of being excited about this trip, I am more of anxious on what work environment I will

Since I was a kid, I have always had a fascination for sea creatures, especially mermaids and mermen (then, they were all mermaids to me, I didn't know merman existed in the dictionary). I was a Walter Mitty woolgathering about myself swimming aimlessly in the deep underwater seascape, with colorful corals and gracefully undulating schools of fish welcoming me to their humble abode.

Rainy weather always connotes the feeling of sadness and solitude to my emotional dimension. The cold wind it brings, together with the seemingly ominous cumulonimbus formations, kindles melancholic mood. Capricious to the rational mind, such sensation I often feel is just a mere manifestation of my trivial self. Nothing significant at that. Though sometimes, it calls forth the elusive pains

Today is the first anniversary of my emancipation - my coming out! But not a coming out to the whole clan, friends, colleagues, society... no, I am not there yet. This day marks my first attempt to open up myself to a close friend, my best friend now, that I am homosexual. And not just my being homosexual, but also the profession of my heart's true desire - that my once high school best friend is

The start of my day was so bad - with lack of sleep, blurry vision, and a missed swim session - I was terribly out of my sanity zone. Adding up to my dismay was drizzling polluted rain on my way to the office. I was so lethargic I did not even bother to get my folding umbrella from my backpack and snap it open.I was so not getting the feel of working and doing my planned tasks if not for the

Ouch!My upper back's aching, especially on the region of my right scapula. I badly need a massage! (Makes me wonder... I haven't gotten a body massage since I started swimming...)Ouch!My eyes are blurry. Myopic vision is deranging my sight!Ouch!My stomach's grouching. Maybe I should take a crap this instant.

Today's one of those boring days when I get do nothing significant on my desk, and I just fiddled on my laptop's keys trying to suffice my drying wetware's insatiable need for input (LOLz!). Surfing aimlessly and whimsically the web was a common reflex of my antsy psyche, trying to focus itself into something worthwhile and somewhat productive task.Browsing the multifarious dimensions of the

Last Saturday was a satisfying fine day for me. After such an ostentatious week in the office and consequent lapses from my regular swim routine, I finally got the chance to swim again. Aside from that, my best friend and I rendezvoused again.... I missed these in the past fortnight....My best friend and I met at around 1 PM at SM Megamall to have lunch together. We took our afternoon repasts

This week's such an awkward and unusual week for me. It's not that it's Independence Week. It's because of the unprecedented influx of high-ranking managers lingering the office. They're like bees flying, i mean pacing along the corridors, surprisingly showing up without me noticing them (That gives me the creeps!). I'm not really used to them.And because of their presence, I need to make myself

I just want to share this to fellow frappuccino fanatics out there, especially those who have a penchant for Starbucks'. My bestfriend told me a month ago or so about this "split-frap customization" a Starbucks customer can avail of. What I mean by "split-frap customization" is that a larger size frap, a Venti preferably, can be "split" and contained in two Tall-sized cups. It's like purchasing

Today marks my second anniversary of a working life in the so-called software industry arena. Such a milestone it is to be celebrated by a typical one; I am half-hearted about it. Well, apparently I am employed in this not-so-locally-known-but-internationally-acknowledged company in its Software Engineering Department. I would say it has been a pretty slow-paced, on-the-average, and

It's good progress for me to be reestablishing my lines with him again as good friends.... Last Saturday I watched the grand finals of Pinoy Pop Superstar Season 3. The production numbers were pretty amusing and were highly embellished, especially the first production number of

As I was aimlessly browsing the Internet yesterday, trying to mitigate the boredom I was feeling while doing my blunt office work, I bumped into a Clay Aiken-dedicated blog. Reading along the blog's top entry, I found out this new song of Clay entitled "Lover All Alone". The author's blog opined that it's the best song in Clay's latest album, noting that most of the song is written by the artist.

In the past nights I had been thinking about my feelings towards Shane and how I was dealing with the process of moving on. Well, in the past couple of months, to pathetically aver, I wasn't really moving on. Rather, I was stubbornly clinging on to what seemed to be futile from the day of its conception - the deep-seated love that's been aging in my heart and never expressed fully to its rightful

Today, May 31, is World No Tobacco Day. It's just recently that I found out about such special day.I have long been an advocate of non-smoking. I abominate smoking!!! It's one of the primary reasons of lung diseases in our country, aside from the ambient pollution that smothers every citizen especially in highly urban and commercialized areas such as Metro Manila.

Yesterday was a very emotional day - a disturbing and debilitating one; I was feeling weak and a bit out of control and I wasn't in my full strength to handle my senses. Hence, I was experiencing another painful catharsis.The culprit was my so steadfast and stubborn... passionate love for Shane (Damn! I just can't seem to move one!). This feeling of yearning for his company and time was just so

I'd been puzzled by who sang the revival of Without You (a.k.a. I Can't Live (If living is without you)) in the radio. Hearing it lately, I was always set aback by the vocal fluency of the male singer. Until I got a copy of it in my laptop, then was the only time I discovered that the man behind the voice was Clay Aiken.Clay Aiken? I did not know him. So, the ever dependable Google helped me

Wee! I got my ticket for the screening of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End last evening. I, my bestfriend, and one of my male college friends are going to watch it tomorrow at Shangri-La Cinema (just to avoid the crowd filling the ubiquitous SM cinemas). It'll be a 2-hour-and-40-minute movie so it better be worth watching. I bet my best friend is excited to see it.See you soon Jack

Dining-in, I bought her a Regular Extreme Mocha; I got a Regular Extreme Latte.

Just this afternoon I was hardly concentrating on my work. I barely understood the documents I was reading. The culprit - the sleepyhead in me.To relieve myself from being unproductive, I decided to get cold coffee from a new coffee shop. I can only take cold coffee with milk and not hot instant coffee from the pantry not for frivolous reasons but because cold coffee with milk (e.g. frappuccinos)

Some candidates are way far ahead, leading their way to victory; Some are just not so fortunate to have at least 5 votes...Yesterday, I have voted for the candidates I want to be elected and seated.

It's been a while, maybe almost a year, since my last movie screening. I can barely picture in my vivid recollection what it was (maybe it was Enteng Kabisote last December when I watched it with my family). This late afternoon, my best friend and I had a movie date.

No serious damage to it - only the menu button is malfunctioning; The main imaging system's still intact.

Yesterday, as I was doing my regular swim at a sports complex, I saw again this gay chap. I said to myself, "He's here again. I bet he's going to peep on me again if we bathe at the same time". Well, I can attest to my prejudice supposition because the last time I took a bath in the nude, he was restlessly peeking on my private parts.And so, I continued my swim.
