Bye Bye ( \m-m/ )

CDTV (Countdown TV) viewers were asked to submit their votes for idols they wanted to have as boyfriends/girlfriends. This probably translates to who they considered as boyfriend/girlfriend material.

Nino landed in the top ten, right after Matsujun.
Sho was 11th.

Bye bye to the only hopeful AI I've ever thought worthy of the title.


Such a waste. because he is a real person. no airs.

stuff I want to spend on:
1. TV stand - 3,000
2. Sofa  - 5,000

Total: 8,000

i wonder if the male restrooms have a sign like the female's that says 
"Be considerate to the next user. Dispose
your sanitary napkins and tissues properly after use."
or something similar to it.

The newest apple of my eye.

Summer streetwalking discoveries

GET OUT OF THE MALLS AND go streetwalking this summer. There is
nothing like discovering the Philippine city, whether it be Manila,
Cebu, Baguio, or whatever city you happen to find yourself in.

Actually each city has a story of its own, one that can be felt with
the senses while walking, and the more you discover the story the more
it comes to life. Some accurately call it feeling the pulse of the
city.

Each city and each neighborhood within the city has a story of its own
and therefore beats with an individual pulse.

There is a languid feel when experiencing Manila's Pasig River from
the river walk along densely forested Arroceros Park that reminds you
of Josè Rizal's late 19th-century descriptions of the beloved river.

On the opposite bank of the river is one of the business centers of
Manila. There energy bristles. It presents another face of the city
where the pulse is understandably different.

The pulse of a city is a combination of many things that take place
within the protective envelope of a series of homes and buildings that
form the urbanscape.

Within the vast urbanscape of each city, neighborhoods are pockets
that reflect the distinct lifestyles of their inhabitants.

These are streetscapes inhabited and colored by the people-their
visuals, sounds, smells and tastes that together illustrate the pulse
of that particular section of the city.

A market neighborhood is obviously different from a purely residential
neighborhood. A neighborhood of houses has a character totally unlike
that of a skyscraper neighborhood.

Ethnic neighborhoods add a different flavor to the city. These are
places where everything changes from the ordinary, the people, their
sights, sounds, smells and cuisine.

In ethnic neighborhoods, you may find things out of the ordinary, as
well as exotica and shops stocked with interesting goods.

Walking is really the only way to discover your city. Walk when the
sun is not at its summer peak, either early in the morning or late in
the afternoon.

During the noon hours, you may enjoy a slow, long lunch in the coolest
place you can find. Stay there as long as they will let you. Allow the
sun to start cooling off before you go back on the street.

Where to walk? Try your neighborhood first. Take a fresh look at what
you have always taken for granted-the same old houses, sidewalks,
rutted streets-but see how they tell the story of your neighborhood.

Are there still houses from a few generations ago? Have these houses
been replaced with newer ones? Has the neighborhood gone commercial?
Have shop spaces been built in the big front yards? On the other hand,
discover how wonderful those front yards may still exist.

Are there special things to buy in your neighborhood? Are there homes,
shops or restaurants that sell unusual food?

What makes your neighborhood extraordinary? How would it stand out
compared to the other sections of the city?

If you heed help, a good guidebook that can navigate you around Manila
is "Street-Bound" by Josefina Manahan, published by Anvil Publishing.

Manahan lists various types of walks around Manila that allow people
to appreciate nature (yes, there still is some of it in the city),
history, culture, and of course, non-mall shopping.

All of Manahan's walks take you through Manila, bringing out the pulse
of the city that can never be duplicated in any of the malls.

Walking tour guides

If you would rather be walked around the city, then contact either
Ivan ManDy at oldmanilawalks@gmail.com or Carlos Celdran. Both do
walking tours.

Ivan calls himself a Streetwalker. He takes people on walks through
Tsinoy Binondo in central Manila.

He has another walk at the Chinese Cemetery showing that the cemetery
is probably the city's most comprehensive architectural museum and
also the honor the Chinese community accords its ancestors.

Tsinoy culture comes to life when he does unforgettable food walks
through the kitchens of Binondo for a memorable encounter with the
Chinese culture of taste.

Carlos Celdran presents his own take on Manila, sometimes irreverent,
but always humorous and engaging.

When he tackles the CCP Complex, he brings out the Marcos mania for
iconic architecture. He walks you through Intramuros, develops
nostalgia for bygone days while doing a reality check on the ilustrado
lifestyle.

I really don't know who can walk people through Cebu, Vigan, Iloilo
and other places outside of Manila. I am sure that those people exist
and ask them to drop me an e-mail.

When I find out who they are and after trying out their walks, then I
will publish the contact information of the more interesting walkers.

I guess it's no use
I'm screwing up
every little thing I
ever tried to do
I'm born to lose

So near yet so far/
You are so beautiful
but a fading memory
i think i've fallen hard/
augh

Its been a busy week so far..and it doesnt end until Sunday.
On monday, I spent the whole afternoon typing up the BPR deliverable.
On tuesday, I submitted the deliverable, went home, then went to the mall to buy
the pair of brown pointy toe flats i've been eyeing since over a month ago. Finally got
it, but it turns out the edges at the back part of the shoe are quite tough. While
I was walking, it kept scratching at the upper part of my heel, leaving quite a gash
that hurts until now. So that wasnt so good. I'll post a pic of the shoes sometime.
After that I got stuck in traffic along Julia Vargas as I rushed back to school
for my 6 to 9 class. what a bummer.
On wednesday I went to makati - rcbc plaza and export bank along buendia to submit
my resumes for my internship this summer. both were consulting firms based abroad.
That was quite tiring, but it was fun as i got to ride on the MRT and experience the
daily grind urban commuters go through. Then i walked off to the mall to buy some slacks
- a pair of straight cut black slacks that skim down the leg and this sortof metallic army
green pair with the same cut. **quite happy**
Yesterday, thursday, wasnt as hectic, but i spent the rest of my afternoon helping out at
the placement office by editing out wrong grammar, punctuation marks, and irrelevant information
on the senior's resumes.
Well, today being Friday, up on the agenda are:
Plant visit to for the company i'm doing my BPR on.
Then, if i still got time, i've to hurry off to school for that free PHP programming tutorial.
Dont think i'd make it though.
And tommorow I've got loads to do.
Gotta leave the house at 7am in time for my test for acceptance at accenture (another consulting firm)
then head off to ibank in the afternoon for another test.
Ye gads.
Hopefully i'll have time afterwards to buy the lovely pair of faux tweed sea green pointy
slip on toe flats that i saw last wednesday.
Then, if it pushes through, i might drop by the block post hell week party.
When will I have time to finish my stuff for school?
Currently I have to work on:
1. Case study for the BPR class
2. Essay for my application to the 5 year masteral program in CS
3. SQL, VB programming familiarization
4. Philo Reporting
5. Refresher on what were currently taking up in OS right after the midterms
6. Stuff to do for the DB system I'm developing
7. Resumes to drop off at IBM and Soluziona
8. Resume to drop off at SVI (ortigas) and Stratpoint (ayala)
9. Theology systematic research paper

Plus, I need to go to metrowalk to hoard up on DVDs of the oscar movies, and some other
flicks i didnt get the chance to catch at the cinema.
-Brokeback Mountain
-Munich
-Proof
-Walk the Line
-Some Hongkong blockbusters
-Anything i might like while I'm there. Virgin suicides? **fingers crossed that they WILL have it.

:p this whole being loaded and busy all the time sucks, but i prefer it to being idle with nothing to do.
Cant let the intellect go stagnant, there must always be some form of stimulation of the mind.
hehheheheheheee

I'm going crazy over peep toes, but i cant find any decent ones in the particular style i like over here

want these though:
but in a lighter pastel shade

blahniks



Then again, the material of preference is currently TWEED



some pointy toes i fancy





must have this:
