Name: allgrrl1978 Location: Makati City, Philippines
I am a Piscean so that gives me the emotional backbone of a fish. Yup, I find it hard to say "No" but can be counted upon for a good ear over a cup of coffee (your treat, of course). I would much rather go joyriding and travel the back-roads and consider "bonding sessions under the stars" as my idea of a great night out. I love New Wave music and have a fixation on anything 80s. I have 2 dogs, Peachypomp and Hilaria whose names were given by my little jester, Potching. Movies and music are my past-times and sometimes a good book, too. Motto in life? "Have gas...will travel". See you around!

 You are "Taxi Ride!" You probably appear happy but in actuallity you've got a hidden sadness. Tori Amos: Which 'Scarlet's Walk' song are you? brought to you by Quizilla
"...You say the word
you know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold onto the
tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls
that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps
with Butterflies
with Butterflies
so go on and fly then boy..."

"...They who are near to me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are. They who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words. They who crowd in my path do now know that I am walking alone with you. They who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart..." Rabindranath Tagore: 1861-1941
And Pot Turns 5!
To my dearest Potching, You've just celebrated your 5th birthday amid cheers and joyful prayers from your those who love you. I cannot believe that in a few weeks, you'd be starting school and opening a whole new world where your own personality will come to shine. As much as I would like to continue just spending lazy afternoons playing with your dinosaurs or creating cities with your Megablocks and Tomy cars, you are now at a point in your life where there are other people who can help Mommy teach you about why the Mr. Sun can't stay the whole day and why it has to rain when you want to play outside. I know how excited you are to start school and learn how to cross your T's and dot your I's. There would be lots of things to learn and lots of people to be friends with. Soon, you'll know how to count beyond 100, how to write sentences longer than the three words "I Love You" and how to read all the Potter books at home. But what I would really love is for you to learn the hidden lessons as well. I know how much it pains you to write all the letters of your name all in one size but more than knowing how to write legibly, I would like you to learn the value of PATIENCE. I know how difficult it is to finish one page of your coloring books, especially if that clown is just too big but more than having a colorful artwork to display, I would like you to learn the value of PERSEVERANCE. I know there are days when you would just want to be with Mommy and no one else but the reason God gave you your Lollie, Daduy, Mommy Marty and Daddy Carlos is that, by letting them care for you, you are extending God's blessings to them as well. I know how sometimes you would like to get on the slide first but more than having a fun afternoon with the wind whizzing as you slide down, I would like you to learn the importance of COURTESY. I know that you are a very smart kid and, while it's true that everything we actually need to know to survive we learn by 5 years old, we still need to acknowledge other people's opinions and RESPECT them as well. There's a reason why we are given 2 ears and just 1 mouth. It's to listen more and talk less. And this not only applies to you but to me as well. Your feelings are just as important as other's. I know how sometimes you want to go right ahead and sleep after playing the whole day without brushing your teeth yet but more than having strong teeth and preventing tooth decay, I would like you to know the value of RESPONSIBILITY and that there are things that need to be done first. Although these things are bothersome (like putting all your toys back into the cabinet or drinking your viatmins), these are not just good habits but tools to help build your character as you grow older. I know how excited you are everytime Lollie and Daduy comes home whether from doing some errands to attending important functions, but more than the "surprise" they give you, I would like you to learn the importance of EMPATHY by asking them how they are and if they have already eaten, or asking them how they are and how their day went. This gives other people the feeling that they are valued. There are so many things that I wish for you. Joy and peace, sunshine, marshmallows. But above all, count your blessings and keep in mind: "Please" and "Thank you" are the magic words. Happy birthday! Love, Mommy Lei THESE ARE DAYS (10,000 Maniacs) These are the days These are days you'll remember Never before and never since, I promise Will the whole world be warm as this And as you feel it, You'll know it's true That you are blessed and lucky It's true that you Are touched by something That will grow and bloom in you These are days that you'll remember When May is rushing over you With desire to be part of the miracles You see in every hour You'll know it's true That you are blessed and lucky It's true that you are touched By something that will grow and bloom in you These are days These are the days you might fill With laughter until you break These days you might feel A shaft of light Make its way across your face And when you do Then you'll know how it was meant to be See the signs and know their meaning It's true Then you'll know how it was meant to be Hear the signs and know they're speaking To you, to you

Meet Takuki Dojikataku
Who is Takuki Dojikataku? It's me, that's who! At least according to this email I got from Muther Gos: Turn your english names to Japanese names. A - ka N - to B - zu O - mo C - mi P - no D - te Q - ke E - ku R - shi F - lu S - ari G - ji T - chi H - ri U - do I - ki V - ru J - zu W - mei K - me X - na L - ta Y - fu M - rin Z - zi I hope it does not translate to "rotting fish smell" or "you look scary".  Mother's Day Weekend I panicked this morning when I realized what date it is. May 16 and only 48 hours away before Potching turns the big FIVE! No cake, no spaghetti or any noodle for that matter for long life, no balloons or any decorations (not even crepe paper streamers) I feel like a bad mom. No that we make extravagant parties for him and I bet you he won't even know it's his birthday unless I tell him ( he does ask everyday if it is his birthday). He always asks for a Spiderman themed cake but always ends up withe Red Ribbon's Justice League cake. Why? The last time I ordered this cake from what's-its-name, only my Dad ate it. The cake was crumbly, the icing sickeningly sweet and leaves stains on your mouth and lips due to the excessive dye used. Red Ribbon is the safest way to go. How could I miss out on the birthday preparations? Here's how. Friday night, we had a brown-out that continued on until Monday night!!! The transformer in or block sparked reminiscent of the Millenium Celebration. Then, the caballero tree fronting our yard was cut and of all the wide open spaces it will fall into, it happened to trip on the cable connecting our house to MERALCO. So amid nights of candlelight and tube-ice from styrofoam ice-boxes, the family's energies were tuned into cursing the village administrator who did not know what to do in cases like these. We have a generator (blast from the Cory Aquino past where 12-hour brownouts were part of our daily lives it made me sad when the energy crisis was over. I loved hanging out on a bangko while my brother and I sang songs with his guitar!) but it was conking out after the whirrr, whirrrr, whirrr when you start it (you know the starter when you pull a string to jumpstart the machine?). Buying a new one is definitely out of the question since a small one already costs Php 34 grand! So my dad brought our vintage generator to one of the talyers in our area, bought spark plugs to repair it and made sure it was full tank. The constant brrrr of the generator was OK until after only 2 hours, it conked out!!! I reasoned to my Dad that we used to use that generator waaay back in the early 90s and a full tank will last 2 days at least! The culprit was our refrigerator which I think has seen better days. It's not broken down but it eats up so much electricity, now we understand why our electric bills go ballistic! Monday night, the people from Meralco came and then, THERE WAS LIGHT!!! And since life has just normalized and our pet fish has just resumed its normal breathing pattern, poor Potching's birthday preparations was...sniff...forgotten. Oh well, I plan to take him to the playground and let him play on the sand as much as he wants to, let him lublob on the pail of water as much as he wants to and give him the liberty to turn our room into a level 5 disaster area. Solb na! Matipid na, mas masaya pa sya!  Taxi Ride Finally, I have found an mp3 for the song "Taxi Ride" by Tori Amos. This has long been my favorite and could not find an audio file I can add to my radioblog playlist. Thank God for Drake's newest discovery for us musicphiles, I finally found this song and added it to my playlist. I know this song was included in Jam 88.3's compilation of light alternative songs Jammin With You but since every music store I go to does not have any stocks left of this album, no choice but to download it. Anyhoo, sample the song by checking out the media player. Big thanks to Drake fro being such a genius with things like these!!! "Taxi Ride" lily is dancing on the table we've all been pushed too far i guess on days like this you know who your friends are just another dead fag to you that's all just another light missing on a long taxi ride taxi ride and i'm down to your last cigarette and this "we are one" crap as you're invading this thing you call love - she smiles way too much but i'm glad you're on my side, sure i'm glad you're on my side still you think you deserve a trust fund just because you want one sure you talk the talk when you need to i fear the whole world is starting to believe you just another dead fag to you that's all just another light missing in a long taxi line taxi line lily is dancing on the table we've all been pushed too far today even a glamorous bitch can be in need this is where you know the honey from the killer bees i'm glad you're on my side sure i'm glad you're on my side sure i'm glad you're on my side still got a long taxi ride got a long taxi ride "Taxi Ride" tells the personal tale of Kevyn Aucoin, the famous gay makeup artist to the stars who was also a close friend of Amos. He died of a rare pituitary disease, and the song describes how people betrayed him after they became aware with his illness.
Dextrose in Cookie Form The whole team was treated to Chips Ahoy cookies and boy were they SWEET! One was the Chewy Chocolate Chips flavor while the other had tiny chocolate candies. It was sugar rush overload! Nevertheless, management was so sweet (no pun intended) to treat us and to show our appreciation, check out the trash bins to see the remnants of the cookies and the hyper-active reps burning all that excess glucose.

Running Out Of Ideas
I am running out of ideas to blog. We do not have internet connection YET in our house (and we moved there 2 years ago) and since I am not the most masipag person in the world, I do not bother going to any Internet Cafe, ergo, there is no way for me to post any pictures on my blog entries. And since I do not enjoy posting stories about me or anything under the sun without accompanying pictures, I have not posted a single enrty since 6 Jan 2006. What's more, I have recently received my Starbucks 2006 planner and have been busy making it as personalized as can be - in short, it is full of cut-outs and quotations from magazines, candy wrappers, movie tickets and whatever can go along with my entries. Nothing beats writing on a diary even if the penmanship is a little scraggly from years of not writing anything more than my signature. Reminds me so much of my high school and college days when the events of the day are written down, bringing back memories of friends and events that may not be monumental to the world, but contributed to who you are right now. Add to that the fact that the new Starbucks planner is not really as eye-catching and as trandy as last year's! So there...no blogging for me. I have my planner to attend to. And if you have teen/fashion magazines you don't need, please, oh please...let me have them so I can post more pictures on my planner - literally. Anyhoo, see you when I see you!

Open the Wardrobe
Let's go ahead and enter the wardrobe... I have just watched the movie and I cannot wait to read the book (Something to while away the time as I wait for the 7th installment of the Harry Potter series, heehee)! Little Lucy enters a wardrobe full of fur coats and next thins she knows, she's having tea with a half-human, half-goat Mr. Tumnus (who is actually goodlooking for a faun).  I have heard about The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe since I was a kid. Nobody has read it in our family, but my Mom has watched the stage play produced by Trumpets. I wonder what happened to their annual summer workshop where one of the higlights would be to stage The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I wish I have seen that play before since I feel like a kid all googly-eyed and excited to watch this movie in the big screen. I remember asking Potching what he would do if he was in the place of Edmund and he told me with big, solemn eyes that he would never give in to the Jadis, the White Witch, even if all the Spiderman toys and chocolates will be given to him. And he asked me how could the White Witch be bad if she is beautiful? (Well, son, that's because she is a B*atch, heehee) Of course I explained that not all things beautiful are good and at his age, it might seem that all things pretty are God-given. And more often than not, it's these seemingly beautiful creatures that lead us into trouble, making us greedy and unrepentful in the process. That White Witch can really be evil. Tilda Winton, who portrays her character, has an ethereal beauty yet her eyes can be...oh, I don't know...COLD? She as frosty as frosty can be and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Her performance, even in the trailers, are chilling (am I using to many allusions to winter? Cold, chilling, frosty...) and I can't put to words how, at 27-years old, I DO NOT want to meet her or anyone like her. Her character has no pattern at all, lashing out one second and then being oh-so-"caring" only to mock you. Her bitchiness amazes me. I know it sounds stupid but it doesn't mean I admire her or want to be like her. Payback, baby. But her bitchiness has it's own White Witch patent. She manipulates and can give you anything you want as long as you do her bidding and can tell an outright lie without twitching. But I personally loved the scene where she demanded to have a meeting with Aslan to discuss Edmund's punishment (him being a traitor and all and in Narnia, all traitors belong to the White Witch, which means, you are doomed). She came, carried on those majestic chairs reserved for royalty, announcing that she is the Queen of Narnia. She and Aslan talked inside Aslan's tent and after their bull-session, the White Witch came out, her expression unreadable while Aslan appeared sad and somber. We later find out that Aslan took Edmund's place on the Stone Table where he will be executed. The White Witch then proceeds to her majestic-slash-royal...chair and suddenlt turns around and demands "How will I be sure that you are going to keep your word?!?" (or something to that effect) and all Aslan does is roar and the White Witch unwittingly crumples and sits down, blown away by the display of power and magnificence.  "She calls herself the Queen of Narnia though she has no right to be queen at all, and all the Fauns and Dryands and Naiads and Dwarfs and Animals—at least all the good ones—simply hate her."
This is the second time that a lion has dissolved me into tears. First, it's Mufasa and now Aslan. And the way Aslan died, stripped of his glory in the hands of (all together now) the White Witch. I really need to get the book to know the exact words used to explain why Aslan came back from the dead. Something about nullifying the death of an innocent blood when sacrificed for a traitor. Sniff... And the battle between Aslan's army and the enemy, with the sweeping landscape...wow! I found it mirrored WWII with the birds (they were not birds obviously, they looked like a cross between owls and eagles. Aarggh! Somebody give me this book!) attacking first, dropping huge stones that seemed to explode. First line of defense if always Air Power. It was, however, a big let-down when Aslan finally said, "It is finished" after pouncing on the White Witch. We see a glimpse of her, eyes wide and the battle is over. We see the 2 Sons of Adam and the 2 Daughters of Eve crowned as Kings and Queens and they grow up in Narnia only to emerge from the wardrobe again, as if time stood still.  The movie was fantastic but I have the feeling that once I read the book, this visual adaptation will pale. However, I still plan to see this movie on the big screen, tissues on hand again, of course. And then, hopefully, I'll be able to buy the book and once again, be taken to Narnia.

Happy New Nyir!
Bagong taon na naman. I have alot to be thankful for and first of which is the health of me and my family. Bawal na po talaga magkasakit and khet may MAxicare ka pa, hindi ko inambisyong maratay sa ospital pwera na lang nung manganak ako.

Sounds Like 2005
The year 2005 has been a wonderful year- musically- for me. It marks the resurgence of British Rock-slash-alternative music which is reminiscent of the Classic New Wave Genre. Apart from this, I have discovered Radioblog which helped me while away the downtime and limited access to the Internet (not being bitter, are we?). Moreso, I have discovered a lot of female artists whose voices can either literally take you to an etheral state or make the hairs of your back stand on end.
Bloc Party - So Here We Are; Two More Years I have been hearing about this band everywhere, from NME to music forums and what-not. If I did not know that The Cure has been out of the loop, I'd think this was Robert Smith singing. Babyshambles - Killimangiro Peter Doherty is such a musical genius its so sad what he's doing to himself. I originally loved "Can't Stand Me Now" while he was still fronting The Libertines and again, with vocals like that, even I can front a band! But you gotta love his cheekiness and brutal honesty in his songs that, makes you think he is the reincarnation of Sid Vicious. Rilo Kiley - Portions for Foxes; A Man,Me and then Jim; It's A Hit It's so unfair! Why does Jenny Lewis have to be so sexy and yet be so biatchy in her songs it's...it's... AMAZING! Definitely one of those chicks with guitars! Azure Ray - November Reminds me of Cocteau Twins and The Sundays...Dream pop all the way! Death Cab For Cutie - Title and Registration; Movie Script Ending Yet another band with infectious music. This, along with Rilo Kiley, are part of the bands under Barsuk Records who promote independent music accross the US. The Killers- All These Things I've Done; Mr. Brightside Ahh, I have spent an entire week watching Mr. Brightside's video I have this song ringing in my ears everywhere I go. The addiction has run off to Potching that this was one of the songs we used to "jam" to. Now I thought this band was from the UK, what with Brandon Flower's vocals (and accent) but this band has captured all the New Wave essentials without necessarily submerging us to a complete 80s revival. Arcade Fire - The Neighborhood (Tunnels); Rebellion; Old Flame How do I describe this band? I guess the vocals are quite uncanny, their songs are both melodic and melancholic, and judging from the song titles of my Arcade Fire faves, they have been thru some rough times emotionally. This band has been around actually since 2004 but they are one of my greatest discoveries from browsin thru all those - guess what - Harry Potter sites. Yep, Harry Potter actor Dan Radcliffe has mentioned this as one of the albums he listens to before filming... There! Some trivia for you, too! And, NO, I am not a Potter addict. Franz Ferdinand - Do you Want To Ever since I heard "Take Me Out", I knew Franz Ferdinand is one band to look out for. Not only do I enjoy the song "Do You Wnat To" but the video cracks me up. British Sea Power - Please Stand Up, Be Gone They sound like Echo and the Bunnymen, I swear! Better Than Ezra- A Lifetime Heard this song over Jam 88.3 and like any song that tends to talk about death without being entirely mournful, I was hooked. RIP Ally... 
The SARAHS: Sara Bareilles (Gravity) Sarah Harmer (Don't Get Your Back Up) Sarah Bettens (Stay) Ooh, these girls sang the songs that I would most likely imagine myself singing. Vocals powerful enough they are beyond American Idol stuff. No diva-like performances here. Just the heart and soul singing... Soundtrack Songs Rachel Yamagata (Worn Me Down) - from the TV series Charmed Missy Higgins (Don't Ever) Dana Glover (Maybe) - from the movie Laws of Attraction Sophie Zelmani (Always You) Kasey Chambers (Not Pretty Enough) Beth Hart (Back to LA) Tegan and Sara (I Can't Take It) Tori Amos (Sleeps With Butterflies) Some of these songs have been part of either a movie or a TV series or SOUNDS like it was used in a drama series (like,say, your life?). Come to think of it, these songs DO sound like they could be the soundtrack of my life..or at least when I was still in that The OC meets Dawson's Creek stage of my life. Ugh. Dance Hall Days Songs: Texas- Getaway Timo Maas - To Get Down Robbie Williams - Tripping Don't Lie - BEP Crank these tunes and it starts with tapping of the feet, bopping of the head, then wiggling of the hips and next thing you know, it's dancing like there's now tomorrow (or in my case, a headset attached). Remnants of Watching Rockstar:INXS Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin' (Jordis Unga) Free - All Right Now (MiG Ayesa) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Marty Casey) Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song (Suzie McNeill) Aerosmith - Walk This Way (MiG Ayesa) AND... Baby I Love Your Way- (MiG Ayesa) It's nice to rediscover songs that reached the top of the charts when your Mom and Dad were still either hippies or looked like hippies. We have the coolest 50-somethings in the world...

It's Never Too Late
 Huli man daw at magaling ay...HULI PA RIN! Keber! I had this GIF Christmas greeting as early as October, I think, but I just. Didn't. Have. The. Time. To post it.Why? If you work in customer service-slash-retail, the Christmas Holidays are hell. People calling up to follow up on online orders made only 3 days before Christmas Eve... add to that bungled shipping and what do you have? The Perfect Christmas. Why perfect? Because rest days on the 25th and 26th of December while I get out of the office at 3Pm on the 24th!
