.:Today’s LSS:.

I heard this song before on Daisy Siete. So sue me. I watch the show…

Akin Na Lang Siya
by Jimmy Bondoc

pare naman
pakiusap ko lang
akin na lang sya
marami ka amang iba
ibalato mo na sana

pare naman
kung puwede lang
awag ka nang pumorma
baka sa yo nanaman mapunta
e iiwanan mo lang di ba?

akin na lang sana sya
marami ka pa namang iba
nasa iyo na ang buong langit
akin na tong isang bituing maliit
sa 'kin kasi sya ay buwan
liwanag ng langit ko
magpakailanpaman

pare naman
request ko lang
wag ka nang manukso
baka ang puso niya'y mapalukso
wala ka bang sinasanto

akin na lang sana sya
marami ka pa namang iba
nasa iyo na ang buong langit
akin na tong isang bituing maliit
sa 'kin kasi sya ay buwan
liwanag ng langit ko
magpakailanpaman

mahal ko na yata sya
kung manliligaw ka, totohanin mo na
at kung ikaw na naman ang magwagi
ipagdadasal ko na lang kayo palagi

akin na lang sana sya
marami ka pa namang iba
nasa iyo na ang buong langit
akin na tong isang bituing maliit
sa 'kin kasi sya ay buwan
liwanag ng langit ko
magpakailanpaman

liwanag ng langit
magpakailanpaman

liwanag ng langit
magpakailanpaman


.:Bwahahahaha!!!:.

I finally remembered that poem idea I had before! I’ll get to writing it when I have the time…

.:Adventurous:.

Today was a day where I met with very nice people who really made my day (But the dadratted camera is still missing... sigh.)...

For one, during my boardwork, where I was feeling exceedingly sick, Lani Lao went to the station to submit her resume. It was fun, really. She was there, and she was her usual perky self and all. At the same time, I think she managed to land an audition with JAM when she passed by the station. Well, if she makes it into JAM, I must say that I'd be really glad for her. She deserves it, to say the least. I guess it's just a great thing to be able to gain some measure of closeness with her after all this time...

Afterwards, I went to Glorietta in hopes of finding a Polluted Delta, only to land a solitary Unmask, which is still a good thing, regardless. I had a nice time talking to Mondu and another guy about RPG's and cards and how geekiness has its limits and creepiness steps in when people begin cosplaying and acting out Vampire: TES RPG's... I agree quite a deal on that. We also talked a deal about Unhinged. That Ass Whuppin + Radiate combo is one laugh trip...

I had a nice try against Sui Black in today's playtesting, though. I figure it's time to look into acquiring an Ancestral Recall, as the two-mana differential between Recall and Meditate spelled a lot of doom for me in my course of play. This version of Sui black was a pain to deal with mainly because I couldn't quite get off the ground between Sinkholes and Duresses attacking my hand and manabase, the two main things that make Doomsday a threat to be reckoned with. I played against another deck for a short while as well, Life.dec, which was a race between me and my opponent to combo out first. I usually had the edge due to disruption and permission, though.

However, a comment that made me look at my opponent in surprise...

Opponent: He's not using creatures, because he'll just rack up ten spells and then suck me dry...

Marcelle: Whoah. That sounded wrong!

Opponent: It's fine. It's just casual sex... I mean, a casual game.

I was almost too distracted by all the innuendo afterwards to combo out... I was laughing hard and I could hardly move the dice around without dropping them because I was laughing my head off...

After the brief return to Magic, I then went off with my cousin, Amanda. We just chatted a bit, and then talk turned to the ever-delectable calamares in Kalentong. Naturally, I took her there to sample it, and I think she agrees with my notions now. I'm glad she enjoyed it, really. Nothing like finally finding someone in the family aside from my parents and siblings who appreciate my idea... heh.

And on my way to the squid store, I ran into a shop playing “My Idea of a Perfect Christmas” by Jose Mari Chan! Finally, after around two years already, I managed to hear a Jose Mari Chan Christmas carol!

Hmm... Magic still thrives in Don Bosco Mandaluyong. I should drop by when I don't have any more proxies to run... heh.

.:Gakk:.

I feel really sick today. Sigh... maybe a flu, or asthma, or a sore throat. Or all of them. Eep.

.:Online Rendezvous:.

I am really thankful that I took the few minutes out to go online. Ran into Sacha (Whom I had a very decent conversation with for once after a long time, albeit short.), Dominique (Who seemed occupied with something.), Carl (Who had funny comments about my missing camera.), and Tita Harvey (Who probably knows by now where Kathy's Rex Navarette CD's are.).

Carl was the highlight, though. It was a while since I chatted with him, and he reminded me about how annoying the whole CBF (Chicks before friends.) phenomenon can get, but I reminded him that in some cases, the person in question will simply come around soon enough. Especially if the person realizes that there is no need to devote so much attention to the object of affection... it's simply a redistribution of priorities, to put it simply.

Hopefully, I'll see him again before this year ends...

.:Yesterday Was World Best Friends Day:.

Did any of you get this message?

Today is “World's Best Friends Day”. Send this ONLY to your BEST FRIENDS, including me if I'm one of them and see how many you get today. If you get more than eight, you are lucky.

Sans the notions about numbers, this is one forwarded message that I sincerely appreciated. I got it from Grace, then I promptly sent it to four people. I talked to a fifth person about it, but I neglected to send the message to her, even via YM. Maybe I will, not that I expect anything in return, really...

One of them might have lost her phone, so since it was “subscriber cannot be reached” all this time, I realize why she never even replied. Another one replied and told me she appreciated the notion. What took me by surprise was that a certain somebody replied...

You're the only one I'd send this to at the moment. =) Today is “World's Best Friends Day”. Send this...

I seem to have been using the expression “full circle” a lot lately, and I find myself in a position where I certainly would say it again. This is full circle. I won't be presumptive about this whole thing, but I feel that this is something that justifies me. Given all that I have endeavored through the years, being acknowledged like this means a whole lot to me, so pardon me if I seem to be making such a big deal out of this. It's not something that happens to me everyday, which is precisely why I am very much grateful that it did yesterday.

You have no idea how grateful I am for this. It may not seem much to you, but it means a great deal to me.

.:Heavily Edited:.

I won't divulge the contents, but a certain list I used to keep of twelve people has received a massive overhaul as many of them (Including the erstwhile #1.) suddenly proved ineligible in the list due to reason number one. I don't even think I can hit twelve without having to stretch out and add some people who I really am not too fond of, so I won't bother reposting it...

A cookie to anyone who guesses what list this is.

.:The Top Ten People I'm Most Grateful To This Year:.

April, kind, kind person that she is, pointed out that my list was cut off. Of course, what I neglected to tell her was that I only do one person a day in this particular list, which means I will have ten or so days to enumerate the ten people I am most grateful to this year. Yes, it's not five this year. It would be an injustice to lump them all into groups the way I did last year, as I think I can't quite just classify this year's people just like that...

As a further note, I inevitably have some conflicts that might actually still be there with some people whose names will eventually appear on the list. To really prove that I mean it when I say I'm grateful to them, I would gladly make steps to fix my conflict with that person the moment I reveal that I am very much grateful to them, indeed. I can think of around two people at least who are directly affected by this further stipulation... they're even related.

In any case, number nine on the list...

9: Jason Dayrit. It's amazing how graduation has managed to make me and Jason get well in touch. We're not exactly uber-close, but I figure that he's one of the few Atenean batchmate friends I still regularly get in touch with, and the sage advice I've gotten from him over the past couple of months, interspersed with laugh trips that simply reek of “you just had to be there”, I guess Jason has been an important person insofar as he has been the epitome of what a true friend is all about: from the highs to the (many, many) lows ;).

I think I have to extend this gratitude to most of the people in Hobby Haven, all the same, from SJ to Chicco to Mikko J to Robbie. These guys have helped keep me from feeling that everyone I knew has moved on to better things beyond my mere existence. I guess I get that feeling every now and then because most of the friends who really matter to me are no longer in Ateneo (I had a very very special one who left Ateneo all the same, even though it wasn't due to graduation... but that's a different story.). Jason is the best representative for the rest of Hobby Haven, though, mainly because he's possibly the one I associate with the shop the most. Yes, even more than I do associate the owners to their shop.

Thanks for this year, jabroni. I don't know how big a part Jim Paredes played in the whole scheme of things, but I'm still very thankful, nonetheless.
