something's wrong with me. That which i cant quite put a finger to. But sometimes i have an inkling about what it is that bothers me. It's there in my waking hours, even when i sleep...
i feel barren, lost, empty, meaningless.
same shit different day.
it's been there all along, edging through the surface. but it has remained hidden for sometime now, and lately it has been more agressive in letting its presence known.
it eats at me.
i have to do something, i need change, i need to establish directions in my mediocre existence.
i've been telling myself that number of times, but i havent really done anything about it. and thats whats wrong.
i need a purpose. i need meaning. i need a reason to face a new day with a happy heart.
so i will go on

Angels & demons by Dan Brown
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
THe Satanic verses by Salman Rushdie
The Prince by Niccolo machiavelli
Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho
Damn good list dontcha think? well eat ur heart out, i got them all. In one sweeping.
ok here goes, david and i went out to watch King Arthur in glorieta. grabbed a quick dinner and b4 we know it we're 10 minutes late. oh ok then lets just go to greenbelt there's a 920 pm, and thats just enough time. we forgot it's saturday and parking is a bitch. and yeah u guessed it we didnt make it. damn. to make me feel better i had ice monster. my favorite: banana and red bean combo.
david got hooked on gonuts donuts after his first taste (my initiation was during our office monday morning meetings thanks to randell), but the line was too long poor boy haha!
para naman masulit parking we lingered at kish and powerbooks. as usual, i go crazy in a bookstore. i could only afford to buy THe Prince, but david insisted i take a a neil gaiman (he knows i love that stuff)... and i said could i take the new paulo coelho instead? go take both, and what else. And before he knew what hit him i had a pile of books in my arms. He actually wanted to read Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (im soooo proud :))
i was at the cashier already when i saw they still have a copy of THe Da VInci COde, so i made that decision...... swap Wanderlust with Dan BRown. It was sooo hard :)
So now im here on the bed with a pile of books and i cant make up my mind with which one to read first. haaaay.
mingming my adorable psychotic persian cat is busy playing with the plastic wrappings from the books. at least we're both happy.

And it was at that age...Poetry arrived
in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when,
no, they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from the others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
I did not know what to say, my mouth
had no way
with names
my eyes were blind,
and something started in my soul,
fever or forgotten wings,
and I made my own way,
deciphering
that fire
and I wrote the first faint line,
faint, without substance, pure
nonsense,
pure wisdom
of someone who knows nothing,
and suddenly I saw
the heavens
unfastened
and open,
planets,
palpitating planations,
shadow perforated,
riddled
with arrows, fire and flowers,
the winding night, the universe.
And I, infinitesmal being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
I felt myself a pure part
of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke free on the open sky.

BEST RESIGNATION LETTER
Actual letter of resignation from a Filipino employee at
Zantex Computers, USA, to her boss, who apparently
resigned very soon afterwards!
Dear Mr. Baker,
As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I
have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these
is that my direct superiors have an intellect that
ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your
consistent and annoying harassment of my coworkers and
me during the commission of our duties, I can only
surmise that you are one of the few true genetic
wastes of our time.
Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every
little nuance of everything I do each time you happen
to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time,
but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired
because I know how to network computer systems, and
you were apparently hired to provide amusement to
myself and other employees, who watch you vainly
attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste"
for the hundredth time. You will never understand
computers.
Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives
you too many options. You will also never understand
why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain
it to you, even though I am sure this
will be just as effective as telling you what an IP
is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you
ever will.
You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly
looking for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed
useless look about you that may have worked for your
interview, but now that you actually have
responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff,
hoping their talent will cover for your glaring
ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you
are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and
laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the
Dilbert principle. Since this situation is unlikely to
change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy
reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation,
however I have a few parting thoughts.
1. When someone calls you in reference to employment,
it is illegal for you to give me a bad recommendation.
The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to
comment." I will have friends randomly call you over
the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I
know you would be unable to do it on your own.
2. I have all the passwords to every account on the
system, and I know every password you have used for
the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am
going to publish your "favorites list", which I
conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your
useless files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita"
are not usually viewed favorably by the
administration.
3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take
pictures of your Mother's birthday," you neglected to
mention that you were going to take pictures of
yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to
erase them like the techno-moron you really are.
Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with
a sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been
copied and kept in safe places pending the
authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try
to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct
your mistakes.)
Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of
recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One
word of this to anybody, and all of your little
twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the
public. Never f*** with your systems administrator.
Why? Because they know what you do with all that free
time!
Wishing you a grand and glorious day,
Cecilia
