Oktoberfest

Hoi mga punxtas, mga blogstas, bokstas, kahit sino!!!

I guess I still have time to party after all. Any takers for the last issue of the Oktoberfest? The event will take place @ SM Megamall parking lot, this Friday, 29 October 2004, hatinggabi!

Catch: since this will be the culminating event, may entrance fee: P100. May kasama daw 2 bote ng beer. Pede na siguro yon. Ayoko namang magpakalasing e. Unwind lang.

Hope to see you guys there.

I've been working all day and night for the past two weeks and it has drained my "powers". Imagine doing 3 projects in 2 months time! Geez... and a magazine to layout on top of that!

So I've been living a fast track life again. Just like the good ol' university days. When a deadline is a deadline and beating it seems facing the impossible.

I would probably be needing a week of rest to get my normal system configuration back. Catch up on my reading materials and with sandman. I wish I still have the time like I had during my pre-school days where my mind would just wander to a world beknownst only to my fantasy. I guess those were the most creative moments of my mind.

Going back to press time, I really wish people would understand how things would run better when things are not rushed, preferably in a more relaxed manner, and that at the end of the day, its not just about money or the ecstasy of being able to accomplish things but the how things are done.

Man, I guess I drank more coffee than usual to get past this work load. I hope I'll be back to drinking my cup of tea soon.

Whew...

It has been eons since I visited this place. Much less wrote something to my blog. I was wondering, what the hell happened.

I guess, I'm in my writing lowdown. Maybe nothing strikes me that much. So how come I'm here now? Could it be that my load's easening up? I wish....

Returning to the flat (naks) in Makati from my humble abode in the mountains, my sister and I noticed a man along the South Superhighway sleeping on the sidewalk. My first reaction was, "Kawawa naman..." I was compelled to reflect on how I live my life. This man doesnt even have a mat to sleep on. Shame on the homeless who have! ... Just joking. In the apartment, I was complaining that we dont have a screened window on one side of the room and the mosquitoes always get their fill during the night. Bwisit talaga!!! But then again, how about that man on the sidewalk?

Poor highway man.

Then I was thinking why does this man live in this way. Is he really that hopeless? Can't he really live a life with more dignity? I mean, at least those people in the squatter's area have roofs (or what you make of it) over their heads. Has the highway man really lost hope? Could it be that nobody would help him?

As the person nearest to this man, I think, Im the "neighbor" that should help him. But how? It was late in the evening. Should I offer him my bed, would my landlady allow him inside? What would happen after that?

The Filipino people really lack empowerment. Who should empower them, the government, N.G.O.'s? I am really lost.

What's Your Driving Fantasy?
Emmanuel, your driving fantasy is The Autobahn

You've got a need — a need for speed. For you, road trips are more than a way to get from here to there. Driving, like those who've traveled Germany's famed no speed limit roadway know, is a way to test the road and engage in your surroundings. You appreciate the finer points of driving — like the curve of the road, the performance of the car, and all the nuances of true skill behind the wheel. You're a driver's driver, so when it comes to dream destinations all you need is a great car and road cool enough to test your reflexes and escape your daily hassles.

But once you arrive at your dream destination, you're sure to embrace it like you embrace the road — wholeheartedly with a sense of adventure and panache. Some say getting there is half the fun. And you agree, so long as you get there in record time and record style.
