July 30th, 2007 And my Thinkpad T60 is at it again. When I got to work this morning, I plugged it in, opened the lid, swiped my finger on the fingerprint scanner, and tried connecting to the office network. Nothing. I “repaired” the network interface. Nothing. I disabled and enabled it. Nothing. So I rebooted. And I get [...]
July 29th, 2007 As I mentioned in my High Fidelity movie review, I read Wander Girl by Tweet Sering, a passing acquaintance in college. It chronicles the journey of the lead character Hilda through her tumultuous twenties. Her changing relationship with her parents and sisters, her search for a job and a career, her search for the right [...]
July 28th, 2007 “What came first? The music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns and watching violent videos, we’re scared that some sort of culture of violence is taking them over…. But nobody worries about kids listening to thousands — literally thousands — of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain [...]
July 27th, 2007 Encountered a malfunction with my new Thinkpad T60. When I got to work this morning, I plugged it in and opened the lid. Normally, this should wake it up from standby mode. Nothing. So I pressed on the power button to power it down. Nothing. I unplugged it, removed and reinstalled the battery, plugged it [...]
July 26th, 2007 Casablanca is one of those classic movies everybody loves. It is essentially about a love triangle. Rick was living a perhaps discontented but relatively peaceful life running a bar in Casablanca. That tranquility was shattered when Ilsa, a women he hoped to never see again, walked in his bar along with her husband Viktor. They [...]
July 25th, 2007 Let’s walk away together
Away from this madness
Brought not about by us
Let’s walk away together
Into the distant horizon
Where the sun sets
Let’s walk away together
Leave everything behind
Just you and I
July 23rd, 2007 It’s definitely the daing na bangus. Less than a month after getting downed by either food poisoning or allergy reaction, I get downed again. This time after again eating daing na bangus for lunch. The same symptoms appeared: my pulse started racing, then the throbbing headache, then the fever, and finally red splotches showed up [...]
July 22nd, 2007 I went to CCP with my sis to watch the screening of Tribu, an entry to the Cinemalaya film festival. She was the Production Manager for the film so she had to be there. I, on the other hand, wanted to see her work as well as maybe rub shoulders with the artsy fartsy [...]
July 22nd, 2007 Went to Jo Avila’s Annual Student and VA (Volunteer Assistant which is a term Jo coined) Party last night. The party supposedly roughly coincides with his birthday but I’m not sure exactly when that day is. It was a big affair. A lot of students and VAs came, there was a lot of food (including [...]
July 19th, 2007 Talked to a friend about a major issue that has been bearing down on me. It has always been a thorn on my side but recently, it’s becoming too much of a burden. I am at a crossroad. I needed another perspective just to be sure that I’ll be taking the best path.
So we talked, [...]
