It’s technically Monday, 12:33 in the morning 11th of January. I had a slight fever from the afternoon activity and the cold medicine that I took ridiculously won’t allow me to sleep. I had the feeling of insomnia comeback and it’s making my recovery a total flop. This is bad. Totally bad. I’m in the middle of ripping my body in so many pieces because I want to do a lot of things at the same time. I can’t actually decide if I will be watching cartoons to help me relax because that’s what sick people do; or do a brainstorming about a new idea that’s brewing on my mind about something that will surprise everyone especially myself if God forbids that I will have the discipline to do it; or do the laundry; or wash the “never-ending-dirty-plates” on the sink; or cook Germaine’s breakfast and baon; or play the “Magic Jewelry” from my Gameboy. You see, I have a lot of things that I wanted to be done right now because time is catching up on me again. I can’t multi-task because again, I’m sick and cloning is definitely not an option. I spend a lot of time deciding on what to do first and I wasted a lot of milliseconds again.
Anyway, I decided to write another crap, I mean blog. I want to tell you about Sunday mornings again. I’m planning on buying a cheap coffee maker (probably around P500) because Sunday morning is not a Sunday morning without an aromatic coffee on your favorite cup. (and every coffee addicts know that). The over easy eggs and toast are delightful or if you wanted something heavy, vigan longganisa and danggit (from Germaine’s sister) are delectable and it goes well with garlic rice, tomatoes and sukang Ilocano. Well, apparently, Coffee alone is the main thing on my Sunday morning and I really love it to be associated with fine music. I remember choosing bossa nova for the past three years and this morning was a turnaround. I choose something light and easy. So here’s my playlist that I want to share with you.

Grab On To This
Something I received through MMS..
"There are times that we just have to put a period on something that has to end and not just settle on a comma because time will come, we'll realize that it's nicer to see a complete sentence rather than seeing a phrase that's completely hanging and doesn't even make any sense."

The Traveler
Ten years ago I was wondering what I would become by 2010. There’s this fancy thought that I would become a manager in a prestigious company, a job which could support me in paying my bills. I have some thinking that I’ll be driving the same car because god, I do love my car. I have this illusion living in a nice classy condo with a partner who is a doctor or a lawyer probably. It would be lovely to think that I have a savings account and that I could really save some money, you know. I envision myself that I already went to different places like Disneyland and Nickelodeon Studio in Florida. I was hoping that by that time, I am providing bountifully with my mother and three siblings. I have a good dream you see, like everyone else, I am so hungry with each figment of imagination that I try to at least make it as doable as possible. I don’t want it to be something you can’t grasp at, like a traveler in a desert hallucinating for some water. I am a traveler who prays for an oasis and not for a drop of rain.
Now is the tenth year of that delusion and economy and my laziness haven’t changed. Everybody knows that you don’t have to rely on dreams alone. The majestic mirage on the desert hopefully comes to an end because the traveler didn’t move much. The traveler by this year was inching her way to death. Funny, if you could only see me shaking my head at those wasted time and opportunities. This year, I intend to help the traveler reach her destiny. She might take a different route and might create a different outcome but I won’t let her die. I believe in salvation and I believe in a concept of not giving up. She may not see the oasis by the end of this year but at least she had an initiative to move again to find water somewhere in any form, to humbly accept a jar of water to some travelers she finds on her ways, enough water to make her survive, to give her strength to find her back to the oasis and fill all her jar to support her to another voyage.

Goodbye to 2009
I was absent for the week. Not because I like to have a holiday vacation but merely because of health reasons. Bad trip,
So what consumed me?
• Writing this crap.
• Twilight book series which made me to conclude that Bella Swan is a professional harlot.
• Cold Case Season 6 DVD marathon which is not as good as the previous seasons.
• CSI Las Vegas Season 10 DVD marathon afterwhich I found Cold Case better.
• Boston Legal DVD marathon which confirmed my belief that lawyers are really liars and this cause one of the injustices in the world.
• Johnny Depp DVD marathon on whom I really have a big crush on.
• Quality time with Ivory Vinasoy.
• Quality time with my family.
• Quality time with Germaine and Mio.
• Cleaning the house.
• Cooking.
• Sleeping, on time.
• Eating, each time tipong chicklet na lang ang pahinga.
• Taking pictures.
• Dirty mouthing and I can even fabricate dirty fairy tale stories which Mio and Germaine love. I bet Ivory will love it too! Germaine even told me that I am developing a Tourrete’s Syndrome, yeah!
Anyway, I want to have my own cheers and jeers for the year 2009 and here it is:
CHEERS:
• For the first time in my life, I received a business letter that states that I am a regular employee. I have the chance to enjoy the company privileges at last!
• My father bought me a Nikon camera.
• I still have my bestfriend Ivory Vinasoy.
• Good relationship with my family, both sides.
• I survive another year with my girlfriend Germaine, which is hard.
• I still eat three times a day and sometimes more. (I think gluttony should be categorized as jeers…)
• Proxy really works!
• I got a copy of Wonder Years DVD series at eBay with the help of Joanna.
• Made a lot of friends.
• The birth of the first Philippine LGBT radio which is Rainbow Radio by the Rainbow Rights Project.

JEERS:
Jeers last year are actually a smashing death list.
• Death of travel. The Hongkong Disneyland tour was a great flop.
• Death of hope for buying a laptop.
• Death of hope for cable and internet connection.
• Death of Pinoy Master Rapper Francis M which made me realize I need a cable TV.
• Death of the King of Pop Michael Jackson which made me buy his concerts on DVD and his collector’s item-In Memoriam front page magazines and downloading his songs on my cellphone.
• Death of actress Farah Fawcett na tipong wala lang.
• Death of Cory Aquino which caused heavy traffic.
• Death of the Bears.
• Death of the Team Marcial.
• Death of Brittany Murphy and it made me think that I need to get a non-voice account job.
• Death of the Ondoy victims.
• Death of the people who were brutally massacre in Maguindanao.
• Death of anti-human trafficking advocate, Finardo Cabilao. He was the former social welfare attache to Malaysia who was brutally murdered.
• Death of my vices in which are very essential to me, really.
• Death of my healthy body.
• Death of my old pictures because the stupid maid threw it away.
• Death of the hope for fighting LGBT anti-discrimination because of the COMELEC issues.
• Death of my liking for Idiotic Mr. Tulfo.
• Death of my hope for being a mother.
• Death of my liking to Alice Sebold’s Lovely Bones book which I’m itching to return to the bookstore.
• Death of the oldest person who lives in our Makati home. I love her so much.
• I remember two weeks before Christmas that our dog Hannah was really sick. She spent four days at the vet which cost P1,300 per night. My 13th month pay as well as my wallet was severely suffering. To make the matter worst, she needs an operation worth P6,500 that made me and my partner broke. You know what? It’s nothing really as long as she keeps on breathing and how hard I prayed to have her home on Christmas Eve, I made chocolates as a fund raising and the day I was about to post it on the internet she died. I don’t want to write about her anymore and I don’t want to read her story because I’m just missing her more.. I feel the twitching in my chest and I feel that I can’t totally move on by always remembering. So I’ll just leave you a picture of her and her story that was posted on Germaine’s blog. It was well written by the way.
So what’s my New Year’s resolution?
NONE. I still want it to be as spontaneous as it was during the past years.
