repolarise
my searching for a nice, concrete reason to create a multiply account lead me to the opposite direction. now, i have another reason why i should not start one! i'm not so keen about revealing it here at all but it has something to do with photos and me on photos. ugh. let's leave it at that. now, i have every reason NOT to have a multiply account yet. maybe in a few years, i'd resurrect the idea. that is, if multiply were still around.
just a few hours ago, i realized that no matter how hard i try or how i persuasively convince myself that i can conduct a full-blown study session while i stay here in the province, it simply cannot happen. it's just impossible to have some study focus here! i have all the nicest temptations at an arm's reach. and don't get me started with the distractions which are impossible to control. it's driving me crazy here.
i've found a nice, albeit a bit expensive, solution, though. whenever i'm in the city and the apartment makes me feel too comfortable and too relaxed, i go out and study at public places instead. yes, it is double the distraction and triple the temptation. but i can miraculously block all that because there's this inexplicable urge within me to finish what i've brought to study. maybe, it's because i have this fear that a barista would violently approach me and demand me to leave for loitering too long. or maybe, i feel conscious as a lone coffee shop goer that i just gotta finish what i intend to do and get the hell out fast. whatever the reason is, i am pleased with the usual result. i can finish a lot of study topics outside and i don't feel so burnt out. weird, isn't it? i think it's brilliant.
of course, i'm not saying that studying in a public vicinity is always effective. i am not suggesting that it is the best way to pump up one's knowledge. i am just in the stage of experimenting what truly works for me. after all, i am still in the period of crucial adjustment.
and so, i'm gonna apply the same scheme tomorrow as i stay here in the province for the 3-day weekend. i'll be loitering. starbucks would be great as my morning coffee shop. coffee addicts here usually visit the shop as soon as the afternoon sun starts its wrath (or not. it could be raining tomorrow.). and then, i might coffee shop hop over at kopiroti in the afternoon. that is, if customers start pouring in and if i'm not yet tired of the coffee shop setting. i'm quite listless these past few days. i get bored easily. my attention span has decreased dramatically. and to think, i've just started graduate studies!
tonight, i'll start taking memory plus gold, an organic memory enhancer. a lot of people are very much against memory enhancers. i am one of those people. but i want to try something new and something i genuinely disapprove of. it's like launching a self-experiment. i want to feel how my confusion and abhorrence would brew and feel how my body would react to such an alien substance. exciting. i'll keep you posted.

i am contemplating about starting my own multiply site. i don't know. i don't have any particular reason why there's a really strong desire for me to start one. i hate social networking online. i hate monitoring two or more sites or accounts on the internet. i hate anything mainstream except for britney spears. these are why the multiply idea was a few months old already and still, i haven't started one.
what's the use of a multiply site anyway aside from flaunting pictures taken anywhere, anytime tagging some sort of special occasion with the photos when, in reality, there's really no need for photo taking at all?
i and my honey watching wowowee on tv!
i and my best friend at the mall
my new havies
my waste basket
we, filipinos, are just a camera whore lot.
sigh. i really do want a multiply site. but i can't find a good reason for it. and it's killing me.

don cha
i got this from kikayexchange.ph. this is the porn for the ladies. the hotness! you can just feel your body warm all over with sexual delight. don cha just wish!
'i don't have to have a reason to bring you flowers.'
'don't want anyone falling in in the middle of the night.'
'i made some niman ranch lamb tenderloin with garlic, black pepper and indonesian soy sauce for dinner. i hope that’s ok'
'i know. let's take you shoe shopping!'
now, the partner is a work in progress. the next weekend we'll be doing full blast of the last photo. i am fully aroused with excitement. the second photo will have to wait for a few more, uh, years. enjoy, ladies! spread the love.

the dark knight becomes king
you. yes, you. take your ass to the nearest theater now. there is no time to waste. because you will waste more than half of your life if you do not watch it right now. it's the illest. it's the hottest. all those batman films you have watched before are nothing. this is it. it is the one -- the closest you can get to gotham city. it is the closest to perfection. take my word for it. it's going to be worth it.
ps watch out for heath, of course, and gary oldman. brilliant acting! christian bale is not that bad. as it turns out, he IS in his prime to don the bat suit. he has the sexiest lower half of the face -- way sexier than george clooney's. and, was that scarecrow?

face paint
i keep telling myself that i am no batman movie fan. a serial contemplation, though, made me realise just how much i love the caped crusader regardless of who is donning the six-packed hotness suit. i only missed that one wherein christian bale first rocked the bat costume. i believed he was not in his prime as an actor to become the gotham king. plus, katie holmes is a huge turn off. i have never seen her act in my entire life. even her joey days did not get me hooked. i thought a tasteless actress like her should be watched in a film that is NOT a franchise. she should pull a katherine heigl -- minus the chain smoking.
enough about her. words could not suffice just how excited i am to watch the dark knight. i am raving about it for weeks! and no, it is not the heath ledger heat, believe me. bless his soul but i was never a fan. not until i saw the dark knight trailer a few days back! he truly was a brilliant actor. where the hell did heath ledger go in that joker ensemble? priceless. i am getting giddy with excitement. i just could not wait for this 3-hour comics-comes-alive spectacle. because of this heightened inexplicable anticipation, i managed to convince the partner to come with me and watch the film in an exclusive screening sponsored by plm's brotherhood of medical scholars and the resident staff organization of ospital ng maynila medical center. i paid a hefty price for our tickets but i do not mind. i do not want a busy annoying moviegoer crowd ruining my rare movie theater visits. i and the partner are perennial anti-movie theaters because we do not always have the cash to buy those pricey tickets. our huge appetite for films will literally and immediately make us broke if we were to always go to the movies.
the dark tickets
i just hope there are not too many people in this exclusive screening. ooh, i can't wait. it'll be a good break for me from all the studying i'm doing (not by choice). no typhoon will stop me from this. gimme, gimme!
