congrats to ernie! i knew he'd win though.

yea! email me the details hun! i'd love to meet up with you. just after i get my digital camera! i'mm soo excited to meet up with 2 of my "online" friends myla and cat.

i was looking at my statistics (not that i check it all the time) and i saw my old friend frykitty in my referrers. *wavesarms* hello cat, long time no talk. remember this? hey, ms kitty i'm going to be in your neck of the woods this weekend.

sometimes i have the tendency to lose contact with friends but i hardly forget them. sometimes i think that because i don't stay in contact they seem to forget. lets hope that fry hasn't forgotten about me yet. hey fry remember i'm the lunatic that microwaved the cheese smokie and stuck a fork in it. making it explode in my face?

i guess sometimes you wake up feeling depressed. things just don't work out, you oversleep and you don't think anything during the day will work out. you get to work on time, which in itself is amazing and you start working. you end up dealing with people you don't like and having to verbalize yourslef when you don't really want to. i don't know, i guess i'm a bit depressed and feeling a bit under the weather. maybe, its the residual effect of the 5 cups of coffee i had last night. so thats my excuse for being over emotional today. plus the fact that this news came out today.

yes folks the embarrasing picture is up. that question in the article didn't really make sense without that picture but its there! its there! thanks for the quick quick work ki. so actually that dude there isn't me. thats gerard, the pic was originally from his site. perfect timing for the article. i just needed to embarass ern no hard feelings right ern?

so the question for this picture is:
R: So any plans on turning your site into an emotioneric.com sorta thing?
E: Nopes, not really man. But I do take requests.


R: So who requested this one? And what would you describe it as?
E: Bastard. No Comment.

yes folks a possible cure for cancer, immune system failure and aids and will all the other names out there in the world they name it "sonic hedgehog".

"Our basic finding at the end was if you treat human blood stem cells with this molecule Sonic Hedgehog . . . that you actually can expand the number of stem cells," Prof. Mick Bhatia of the John P. Robarts Research Institute and the University of Western Ontario said in an interview.

i know theres an irony here that i'm missing somewhere.

oh yea! my mom came back today. after a 27 hour trip back to vancouver.

what did she buy? well clothes, a few cd's from people (thanks nicole and tito boy), food *ofcourse* a vcd/kareoke player *Godhelpusall* and a whole truckload of vcds and kareoke vcd's. We officially have a video collection because of all the vcd's she brought home. She bought me pillows, like the baby pillows that i used to have when i was a kid *awww*.

did i mention she bought me clothes?

holy smokes i guess this is what i get for going to sleep early. huh? i was pretty tired yesterday and needed some sleep. i checked back on Sblog2 when i woke up and what did I see? an ode to Canadians, some stripping, a flattering word for every letter of my name although i don't know about effervescent and a little ascii art. oh did i mention i got something from ms insomniac gap girl too?

yea, i know its just the immunity challenge but hey man, can't a guy feel special?

so the immunity challenge over at survivor blog 2 is that they have to write the peanuts love letters or something like that. did i mention that ern came up with the idea? you rock, let the butt kissing begin. although i'm not as popular as the other peanuts, i do like to get my butt kissed. and its a trip reading the different posts. bertie is quite the creative girl, i wonder how she knows about vancouver. and serra, damn girl that was sweet. not to be out done though, the peanut gallery are turning up pretty creative posts.

this has got to be one of the funniest commercials ever! i think i'm a sucker for these slapstick humor, last night i watched liar liar instead of survivor. i guess i don't really see the appeal of it but temptation island has got me hooked. i know i'm totally contradicting myself.

alrighty, sometimes i guess i just don't make much sense.

i'm back at work and life is all right i guess. my mom's flight got held up because of some snow storm somewhere. so she should be back today. *crossfingers* i have a lot of work as usual. boogienet is on the redesign and this time its better. i worked on it this weekend. didn't quite finish migrating the articles into a database. i think that i'm going to have to rewrite parts of it. icemag is also coming in for a redesign and some backend rework. not to mention i have school work to deal with too. when do i find time to do the (stupid) things that i do?

i had this post all planned out but i was eating upstairs when i thought about it.i finished the food i was inhaling and came downstairs to post and i totally forgot what i was going to say. so now i'm just typing. ernie asked me to post a message on survior blog and i did, and look who got first post! i'm tired, i was soo busy on the weekend i didn't post sorry. but i have a video that i need to capture and stream so you can make fun of all of us. its all good though. really, when i ramble i totally ramble! i know i didn't make anysense, its just very late really.

aack, i can't seem to remember some parts of what we practiced last night. i keep remembering certain patches in the song. i'm listening to the mp3, i can't seem to figure it out the parts that i can't remember. i look like an idiot trying to sing under my breath and not make it look noticable.

i just had lunch, and with the combination of a heavy lunch full of msg i'm falling alseep. i've already polished off another can of barqs and i'm currently drinking my water botter. yes, i go to the washroom around 5 times an hour.

ruben, condolences on your auntie. she is in a totally better place right now looking at you from down below so don't do anything that i wouldn't do.

alright, i have the boys II men yesterday song in my head. thank you team-swollen.

document and code, document and code. thats what i've been accomplishing this whole morning. as for the regular site migrations. i wish i came in at 7 so i get off at 3 today. i think i need to sleep in a bit more. i've been quite the insomniac this week, i think it will be catching up to me this weekend though. actually i'm feeling the effects of my sleeplessness right now. i'm glad that theres barqs in the vending machine though (cause it has bite ya know). plus the coke bottle and the coffee sitting around my desk. yes folks, i'm a big huge walking caffine pill!

we're moving! my whole department is moving. all 7 of us! new desks to mess up, new places to hang pictures, maybe even more space for my toys that i lug around.

ok i made a big deal out of this whole thing. it wasn't as bad as i thought.

in ten minutes from the time that i started writing this i will be going into a battle (actually a meeting). a meeting with a few people who i'd rather not have a meeting with. these people are ignorant and not subject to change. they don't like change and forget about telling them that they're wrong about something. its kinda ironic that they're incharge and looking over one of the most technological projects in the company.

oh yea, one more thing. if you ask for my help you gotta trust that i'm doing my best and not discriminate because i'm younger than you are. but thats just my opinion.

oh yea, before i forget, get well soon min jung.

as a lot of people know, i'm a gap freak! now i'm a bigger gap freak! i actually know a gap model! i'm not kidding, i've actually been talking to a real live gap model! did you guys know that most of my clothes are 90% gap. not to mention that she has a british accent, and shes a little cutie. *swoon*

so yea, i'm trying to prioritize my time. i actually have a few minutes to kill here so i'm blogging. i can't believe that i'm this busy. last night i fell asleep infront of the tv, and when i woke up i thought i was late but hey i guess filipino time decided to kick in and my friends were all late anyways.

so i have a confession. i like 7-11 food. seriously, i only like the nachos but hey, how bad can the other food be? just think of it as re-heating food right? so what if its re-heating a sausage and egg biscuit with cheese, its still food. some people just don't like it cause its 7-11 reheated egg. eww yuck gross! ahh get over it, mcdonalds reheats their food. burger king uses those nasty heat lamps used to cultivate germs and viruses in a science lab. wendy's well i'm not sure about their food but i'm sure theres something pretty bad about it too. don't forget that 7-11 is cheap too! so its the money saver!

i made a funny today on icq. paulo and i were talking about the digital elph camera that i was planning on purchasing. see a little history, paulo is a huge mac user. probably the biggest mac advocate in the lower mainland of vancouver. me however, think that its good but not as good as the pc.

so anyways, i was talking about the camera and we agree that its a great camera. and if you have 500 bucks to spend (US) then you should buy it for me. he said that something about us agreeing that the elph is the mac of cameras or something like that. this was my exact response.

whatever, the elph IS a pc thats why i like it soo much, if it was a mac... it would be circle shaped and you wouldn't know where to point it to take a picture.

now i can just watch all the hate mail come in

yes folks, who's alive in the blogging scene. i'm taking the 15 minutes that i have this morning to blog here (don't cha guys feel special?).

well, i've been really bust here at work and outside of work. so i haven't really had that much time to blog (i'm sorry). i have big plans for sites and things like that. i'm planning my year basically. what i'm going to be doing and all these things thats supposed to keep me occupied and happy. i'm excited about a few trips thats in the works right now, hopefully they'll pull through. i'm also planning on things that i want to try.

as for sleeping, i've totally neglected my body. i'm now officially an insomniac but i'm not alone. i've got my friends who stay up on a different timezone. i mean, it is daytime somewhere in the world right?

i had a pretty uneventful morning. aside from the fact that i discovered that digital camera's in the philippines are very expensive. almost double. see i'm in the market for a digital camera and i'm looking at getting an elph! but judging from the prices that my mom has sent me, they're all almost double the price. my eyes nearly fell off when i did the conversion. so i guess i'm buying the camera here, thank God for futureshop cards saving. yes, you heard that right mom.

i think the elph is soo perfect for me! i already have an 8 meg card that i currently use in my camera and the elph takes the same compact flash card. how perfect could that be?

busy, busy, busy.....i'm soo sorry, i'll be back really. i will.

i'm on course this afternoon so no more blogging. unless theres some sort of internet connection there.

but before i leave, why the heck did the temptation island guys kick lola off the damn island?! she was the best looking of the bunch!

so last night, i disconnected myself from the internet. a friend of mine left to visit his girlfriend in a far away place. he's coming back on sunday. my friends came over and we hung out and watched temptation island. i'm hooked, and thats such a bad thing. i've been trying to recapture my life outside of the internet. which makes it kindof hard since, i'm into all these projects that are internet related. so how do i do that? well i'm just going to try and spend time with people outside of the net. gonna try and get to know people more. i just don't want to be another internet user. i want to stand out. not just another face behind a website.

ok for all of you guys who read this. i did burn out big time! enough to feel sleepy for the rest of the day! all i have to do is make it to my car and i can get to the other can of pop thats there. see, i've been busy at work developing this database and a few asp pages. combine that with checking email and checking the sblog sites, you got yourself a really sleepy and tired ritchie.

one thing i've been meaning to do is look through the homepages of the 16 contestants at sblog. i've looked through a total of.... one. it was interesting, lots of funny content and i even have a *weird* thing in common with that person. (of course i'm not going to tell)

yes folks! coca cola isn't a substitute for your morning coffee. i was in a hurry today and didn't bother making the coffee pot that i used to make. instead, i took the 2 pop cans from my dad's little church group get together last night. yes folks i've been at work for an hour, why? well john rodman acosta is going to see his girlfriend in edmonton and i'm going to the airport to see him off (and give him something). so yea, thats the reason why i'm at work early, and also the reason why i missed coffee and instead replaced it with coke.

SurvivorBlog2 contestants are very very talkative. but you guys already know that!

so as promised, i took my eyes away from SBlog2 and dragged my digital camera to work and back. Here is the result.

on a totally different note, i think my eyes are going to fall off because of SurvivorBlog2. i've been helping out with this whole thing, and i'm also part of the peanut gallery. last night did some coding to well, maybe lessen the number of blogs that these guys are posting. if all you guys are wondering, this is the picture that i used. thought it would be a laugh to use the "lost, dazed, confused maybe drunk" look.

so i am taking pictures today but i decided to put it as a totally different section on my site. i'll put it up tonight, nothing special about it. its probably going to be like "a day in the life of..." kinda thing.

tomorrow, this blog will be a photo journal. i've been doing a bit of research, and been looking for something new to post up that might be remotly interesting. so since my mom is in the philippines, maybe she'd like to show people there what happens in my life. really not that interesting but maybe i can make it artistic.

i've been soo braindead. i just need one more function then i can get to work on database! got...to.... write.... javascript!

right now, i'm working on some javascript stuff. tomorrow database stuff. day after that more database stuff. then the rest of the week will be asp stuff. yes folks, i'm a web development machine!

and lets not count the fact that i have other side projects and school! yes! i'm soo busy, whats going out? oh yea, and others that i've put on hold for the longest time!

Yeap, work day one. I'm a total insomniac, its been really crazy! I haven't been able to get me any sleep, just ask myla and ern. i keep buggin them cause i can't sleep at the "regular" time. but last night wasn't soo bad, around 2:30am. i fell asleep.

so theres this "rumor" going round that Archie and myself will be dj'ing the up and coming major assembly for our church group. i've heard all the rumors, but i haven't been "officially" asked yet. don't cha just love disorganization?

hey look who's part of psb2 now?! whoohoo. uum yea, roight, do i seem excited? well cause i am. i wonder if i'll have something interesting to say.

yes folks ernie is back too (and in full effect i might add). see ern, operates SurviorBlog! and now Sblog2 is almost done, not to mention the fact that I "casually" interviewed him recently too. i've been wanting to get on iistix, so i guess i killed 2 birds with one stone here.

oh yea, i just noticed a few days ago that jodee is back! let the porn linking begin!

today, i will be organizing my room more. cleaning up some paper (trash) thats sitting around the table. clearing up some pop bottles. throwing away some garbage and of course rearranging furniture. its getting messy again. i don't know how this happened. i want to utilize the table and my bean bag in some sort of way but i don't know how. so last night, i headed over to john and didn't get home until 5:30 am. see i fell asleep there, thanks for letting me crash for a bit man. i got home, and now i'm doing the normal stuff that my mom would normally do.

on a totally different note, i've updated the frontpage. with a story for the season, my first time snowboarding. usually i'd put funny stories like these on my moments area, but this is something that doesn't really fit into there. I also put in more pictures in the rotator in the about section.

so my mom has left for 2 weeks to go visit my grand mother in the philippines. i'm sad. and that was one long week!

its been a really nice afternoon, i didn't get that file from archie. he was sick and needed to get some rest. right now, i'm still at work. talking to a friend, learning more about them and her thoughts. a bit of confessions going on too. its all good though, i guess sometimes you just wonder what happens to an old friend after you lose touch. its nice to reminice.

another thing i also noticed was the stories on the front page need to be edited. in a major way too. one of the things on my to do list. promise!

so today, its work work work all the way today. until now, i'm kinda sleepy after lunch. i guess thats what happens if your hecka tired and stayed up really really late. all because you wanted to watch a movie. right now, i'm at work trying to get that sound file that we recorded yesterday. and no i'm still not posting it

so i was out with the boys last night. we do pretty dumb things sometimes, last night, we wrote rhymes and recorded them. the answer to your next questions is no, you can't hear it. but it killed a good two hours of our time.

i think i'm a real, true to life insomniac. i didn't go to sleep until around 3 am last night. but i finally got to watch She's All That. its one of those movies that make you wish that you were in a relationship cause its just a feel good knight in shining armor kinda thing.my only complaint was that the story seemed to develop very quickly. its like, one minute she hates him and totally ignoring him. next thing she's giving him life advice on picking a university. unless i fell asleep and i just missed half the movie.

i'm such a little kid i swear. guess who linked me? guess who linked me? hehehe *swoon* can you guess who linked me? it was a pretty small job too. nothing biggie. *littlekidgrin* little things amuse me, and she linked me!

so did i tell you? i caught a glimpse of temptation island last night. it was an interesting show, but it was wrong! morally wrong. so you take a couple on the brink of getting married and see how "strong" their relationship is? why would you even enter a contest like this? i definitly wouldn't, just ask any of my exgirlfriends, i can get crazy jealous. i know i know its not good, but how can i help it? thats how i am. but back to this island, the girls doing the tempting are hot! if i were stuck on the island, i know exactly who i would be going for! <link src="comabound"> as i was watching, i had this nasty feeling in my stomach that just made me feel sick, and feel bad for one of the contestants by the end of the show was crying. poor girl!

but i have to admit that i'd be watching it next week. i guess i'm curious at how things turn out. i wonder if the guys will be the first one to fall into temptation, or maybe it'll be that cute 22 year old girl.

so last night, i was fairly busy. working on stuff, and working on stuff oh yea, did i mention that i was working on stuff. not to mention chatting it up a bit with a few friends. planning or discussing what we're going to be doing at sxsw. i think that we're all spending at least 1 shot of hard alcohol on ernie. as of now though, i'm back at work doing testing. testing is probably the most boring thing in the world. doing the same steps over and over and over again. after that though, i get to do some interesting database stuff.

i have sooo many "to do" things on my palm that its soo stressing me out whenever i look at it.

oohh look! my little project that i took on for a friend is done! wanna see? well, i dunno....should i show ya? i'll wait until she tells you what it is.

and i thought i was the only one who gets notes with smiley faces from my mom.

for some really really dimented reason, this gave me a bit of pleasure today. my day is really dragging and i still have 2 hours to go. then another hour drive home, and run a few errands. and to top it all off i have special mild smokes, which mean that your smoking air! damn it! hey you get your laughs when you can get it!

remember this? now what if you don't have a palm? like say ernie, but you have a cellphone (like ernie) you can play this! of course, this is for the hard core ddr player! and for a small charge of 1$ monthly, you can finger tap to a different tune everytime. i wonder if ern would like this?

i guess vic is catching on to my little trick. i bring my ass home quickly everyday after work and just put it in park. i get to lazy to go out. i usually end up reading of fixing some of my sites. so i guess its more productive.

so for the last few weeks i've been bringing my own lunch. its really been nice, i'm thinking of sticking with it. the only disadvantage is that you have to plan ahead and you have to eat your lunch no matter what even if you don't like it. kinda like being back in grade school. (and yes dave, sometimes my mom packs my lunch for me) the big advantage is that, well i go home with that feeling that i didn't spend anything that day. like for example yesterday, i went home and i was doing my accounting for the day and i had nothing to plug in. what a boring life.

can you call it responsible or just plain crazy? what you ask? well, i've been getting up at insane hours since last week and i've been soo productive its soo not me. although i do miss my old sleeping hours. i can get used to this. i am getting enough sleep (i think) and i think that i am still sane. i've been soo productive. i'm working on 2 major projects. one is the redesign of boogienet as a company and this other top secret one for a friend. i have the tendency to overestimate on my deadlines though. i estimated 2 weeks or a week since tomorrow, and i'm thinking i might get it done tonight. the major part of it all has been done, and only 1 major piece to go.

see, with the redesign of boogienet i'm going to make it my little company. it might actually make me look more like a professional. plus, it gives 2 of my friends the same umbrella, i'm not going to mention names cause they don't know who they are yet.

so i have this project that i took on because its kindof my good deed for the year. its nothing really big, lets just say its something really cool. but see the cool thing is that, if you (the websurfer) won't even notice the change that went happened. thats when i know i did a good job!

paulo, how the heck do you ever get yourself into these things? its not enough that i blogged about you and our little trip. now you gotta go applying for amihotornot.com? dude, and the picture. i just can't stop laughing. this really put the exclamation point on my day man. thanks! you rawk, i'm sure people will be interested in this picture (maybe the hunnies out there?). so if anyone is interested, here's paulo's vital stats.

paulo, grew up with me in the philippines. played with marbles and the occasional toy top. migrated to canada the year after me because he wanted to finish grade school there (yes folks i haven't graduated from grade school). nicest guy you'll ever meet, seriuosly. on occasion is known to do some crazy stuff like this though.

see, i don't understand this paulo. i've already got you on my site like 3 other times. why do you want to get in it again?

its almost quitting time and this is the first time that i've blogged today! well, primarily because we had our team meeting at work and it went on for a while. actually, it went all the way until lunchtime. now i'm busily hardcoding, trying to finish earlier than my deadline so i can go on to other better things than this coding. tonight, i get to work on some homework and try and book a hotel for the sblog room at sxsw!

ok now i'm soo sure that my friends are going to kill me. i guess this is what happens when your still awake at 3:30 am! you write really depressing journal entries and decide to humiliate a bunch of your friends.

*candid shots*

i can't believe that i took a "quick" nap and i just woke up now. i've totally screwed up my sleeping pattern. i don't think i'm not going to be waking up tomorrow, i'm going to try and finish all these things that i want to do. things that i was supposed to do. slowly but surely i'll start getting things done. i wonder if victor passed by? oh yea the freak just put up a new layout! it looks pretty slick!

i've been staring at this admin page that i'm working on and i'm drawing a blank. the deadline that i set is on wednesday, and i'm drawing a blank! how can i draw a blank? uugh, this is soo not cool! i'm hungry too, maybe thats why i'm drawing a blank. i'm too busy thinking about my hunger. i can't wait until lunch time! two more hours to go. tonight i'm going to go borrow some movies and plant my butt at home! one, i can save money cause i'm not going to go out (i'm borrowing the videos from a friend). and i can actually get some work done.

so back to the grind that is monday. this weekend was pretty much a movie weekend. good thing, most of the movies that i saw were on TV. i pretty much vegged out this weekend. i was going to go out yesterday but decided to just call cedric and we saw finding forrester. a really good movie, but i'll let the actual people who review movies do the reviewing, i'll just say that it was good. it was good! if i wasn't too lazy/tired from bumming around all day i would've written a journal entry, but i promise today i will. (why? cause i'm inspired heheh)

so did i tell you about icemag.org meeting? it was really good, a couple of really good ideas on how, where the site should go. how to do it sorta talk. i'm really excited, i just have some database work to finish, to get the next piece out. but promise this week, we'll have a new section out.

so last night victor dropped by and said wass up, scared the living crap out of me too! hey who wouldn't get scared when someone just knockes at your window and just stares blankly at you? of course it didn't help that i saw event horizon yesterday too. we just quickly talked about some icemag stuff, before my legs were frozen off. and no ern i didn't go out in my shorts, i actually put on something warm. right now, i'm still trying to figure out where to put the cd changer in my car. i'm opposed to putting it on the trunk, and there is no space inside to put it in and hide it from the world.

so i just finished another movie. the rock, playing on abc. my parents came home and i am chilling in my room blogging, downloading some stuff. i feel much better cause its not that bad when people are actually in the house. but anyways, i get an email from my co-worker john and it has a link, all it says is "this is for you!" so i check out the link. and to my surprise, its actually quite funny. but i'd like to correct john, dude.... its my friend ernie who likes ddr, its ok but i'm not willing to shell out a dollar to have people watching me dance to arrows :) thats just me though.... so anyways, heres the link and for all you palm freaks this is for you!

ok, one word of advice from me to everyone out there. when you scare easily don't watch event horizon! it is not a fun thing to see when your all alone in a house. now i'm freaked out like no body's business! this is soo bad, i'm 22 years old damn it! i'm getting freaked out at every sound that i hear. i am never going to watch another horror flick for as long as i live!!

holy smokes, i never thought a die hard madonna fan would stray. but i'm seeing it right before my own eyes. i like madonna, britney is ok so it doesn't really bother me that much but i guess jerwin is getting affected. maybe its the reason why he just couldn't get to sleep because he saw the impending doom. I wonder what the video will look like.

i wonder if i can go to this conference. i haven't really gone on anything that was work related. i wanna try going. it'll be really interesting. i'd buy it on my own but then its like 1000 us dollars. so forget that.

i also mapped out my expenses for my sxsw trip. i took into account that the exchange rate from canadian to us would be 1.5% which made a bit of a downer. it came out to around $2100 of saving for me. I also decided, that i will always have a x amount safety net on my bank account. which means that there will always be at least x amount in my spending account. my savings is an automatic thing for me so thats cool. the safety net is for emergencies and for peace of mind. yea, something i learned from one of my good friends.

on a totally different note. better late than never vic, mr late on his article. but hey its up.

and last night when i got home, i was hacking away trying to get my expenses in order. trying to figure out a payplan for my debt (accumulated during the holidays). i planned everything on excel and i have everything layed out until march!

last night, i got dinner with a friend since i was busy. we went to this italian restaurant that had really really good food. the ambiance was really nice. candlelight, the wineglasses and of course the food was excellent. i am soo sure that i'm going to go back there. but yea, we were talking and for once i was actually got to thinking of things. i mean it was a very intelligent conversation. we talked about our plans for the future goals short term and long term. it was good.

you know what sucks? when two friends break up. its hard because you can't take sides and you don't really want to but thats what ends up happening. you want to help one but you don't want to let the other down. you want to be there for the other, but the other one just takes it all wrong. it will be better, time heals all wounds right?

so now after my usual 45 minute drive i'm here at work. during my drive, i chugged coffee and drove. dave is back in the office too, makes my job a bit easier. now i can be the usual coding/file moving machine that i am.

<tangent>so i used this tool called blogger to update this portion of my website. i jumped into the bandwagon around march last year, and i said something about not updating all the time. well it turns out that i've been updating this thing everyday. i think i got on a bit early cause now theres a huge number of people with weblogs, and i'm such an insignificant little dot in the big picture. but i've made a lot of friends from this whole thing (and another jumping on the same bandwagon too) and thats really the important thing isn't it? but anyways, now blogger needs to upgrade their servers because of the huge jump of additional users during the past year. i'm going to help out, when i get money though. christmas shopping has left me pennyless.</tangent>

so i went to sleep late, but i'm still up. i can't believe this. theres nothing wrong with that. it just seems like i haven't gotten any sleep. i'm going to make my lunch and my coffee. see a few people out there don't really know that i make my own lunch for work. sometimes my mom does it but my mom leaves earlier than myself and my dad well he works late and usually still sleeping when i'm up. i have a few minutes before i head out so thats when i make my lunch.

so i'm at home. i'm going to take a nap before i start my hard work on small little projects. i will get my life back into order!

ok, i'm looking at my friend's party pictures from this new years day bash that i was going to go too but didn't because i wasn't driving and i didn't rsvp. but see one of the best parts of this whole partying thing is the pictures after. you catch your friends in embarrasing positions and making the weirdest faces. you know, blackmail material. well there was this party that some of my friends went to. and i'm not exactly sure on how to interpret some of the pictures. i wanted to post a few up from this album but i'm sure that people would've gotten mad at me for doing that. so here is one picture, not too embarrasing but a bit. poor andrew i had to choose him to pick on.

hey andrew, if you ever read this. don't kill me man.

i'm in one of those moods, work work work! thats what i've been doing straight for the past 3 hours or so. i don't think i've blinked in that time span too. i wonder how everyone is after their holidays? some people went on vacation. and i know a few that stayed here. i know a few people who got drunk out of their minds too *ahem*. i have to go do some work on stuff later, i have soo much stuff to do. cause i love to keep myself busy. at least it keeps me out of trouble.

so its back to normal huh? i'm at work, ready for the new year. resolutions have been made, things are already in plans. i woke up early and i guess now i'm here early as a direct result. i'm soo good boy today too, i drove to work with my coffee, driving like the responsible driver i am. i brought my lunch, i'm right up there with my resolutions.

one thing i totally noticed is that mr jerwin maximo put up a totally new layout! it looks really good too! now why is everyone coming up with a new layout these days? makes me look bad cause i can't design anything to save my life, but i'm happy with my layout.

so today is clean up day. clean up my room, my life and maybe myself (joking). i got back home at around 5am last night, that i remember. the rest of the night, not really. its all kind of a blur, everything kinda went by soo fast. john's house, carolyn's house and the hotel room (actually i kinda remember being in the washroom watching someone screem over the phone). dang, i think i remember 1 thing for the whole night. i just woke up an hour ago too. to the sounds of vaccuming and cleaning! uugh, not a good thing when you have a splitting headache.

the last thing i needed was my mom hovering over me grilling me about what time i came home last night. uugh what a way to start the new year. so here i am cleaning up my room and stuff like that, straightening out my life in the new year. shredding some papers and contemplating how i'm going to be in the next y-e-a-r. lets hope everything runs smoother than last year.

carolyn, yer my new drinking buddy. roxy, i'm sooo sorry i called you carolyn. archie, thanks for driving home. silvia, oh man... i hope we didn't get you in trouble, and i hope that you were ok for work. cedric, thanks for listening to me ramble on about nothing last night (and for not kicking me out of the car).

pps.... i wonder if anyone knows how much effort it took to write this entry with this headache.
