Listening to: “Shatter” by Feeder
Reading: “The Night Watch” by Sergei Lukyanenko ( decided to give it a rest with “Journeys” for a while), plus excerpts of “Diana: In Search of Herself” by Sally Bedell Smith, and I found this most interesting passage(s) – some of which I can “relate” to:
..In fact, her friends supplied [...]

Reading: “Journeys in the Dead Season” by Spencer Jordan
(I’m somewhere in between Part Four – one of the letters by Captain Crowe. The whole thing can be a little “long-winded” at times, but still quite fascinating, especially the various descriptions of fauna and flora – half of which [...]

…turning “hikikomori” or just a”twixter” perhaps?
Listening to: “Unrecorded” by M83 (a really nice piece of electronica, from their album -> Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts )
Just check out the entire article on Wikipedia –> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikikomori & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twixter (the western counterpart)

“..under wicked skies..”
Listening to: “I Love You…I’ll Kill You” by ENIGMA (heard this first about two years ago – during my metal/goth/death rock phase – categorized it as a “personal” theme).
Here’s another song I seem to have forgotten for a while; “Unforgiven II” by Metallica, I liked this better than“Unforgiven” (I think this one is [...]

“death wish”
Last November 2, 2007, eleven year old Mariannet Amper hanged herself to death.
A “journal” was found among her belongings. One entry read,
“Parang isang buwan na kaming absent. Hindi na kasi nakin (sic) binibilang ang absent ko. Hindi ko namalayan na malapit na pala ang Pasko.”
(I think we’ve been absent for a month now. They [...]

stuck in second gear…
Found this very nice video of ” The HP Trio” yesterday. To the tune of “I’ll be There for You” by The Rembrandts (I’m starting to appreciate this song again-official OST of the show “Friends”- considering the content describes my current situation, although in a somewhat satirical manner, can’t help but laugh whenever I hear [...]

r.i.p.
I seem to be intent on digging my own grave, career-wise that is. I’ve just seen my Globe phone bill a few minutes ago, and I’m still quite shell-shocked. But never mind, I’ll get over it. I’ve already worked out a strategy for dealing with that one.
I’ve become “irrevocably bored” (not sure if there is [...]

“I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It’s personal, myself and I
We’ve got some straightenin’ out to do….”
Listening to: “Big Girls Don’t Cry” – Fergie
(I heard this one while on the bus en route to Makati about two weeks ago, I didn’t even know who the singer [...]

oh-oh…ride on time…
Listening to: “Ride on Time” by Yamashita Tatsuro (GoodLuck ED) – for some this song makes me “happy”…hehe
I’ve seen the J-Drama about 8 times now (solid cast – my favourites are the four leading characters played by Takuya Kimura [Shinkai Hajime], Kou Shibasaki [Ayumi Ogawa], Shinichi Tsutsumi [Kazuki Koda] and Hitomi Kuroki [Noriko Togashi] respectively) [...]
