Anti magnetic

i have been in situations where my atms, credit cards and id cards would just not work.. the plastic is pristine, the strip not at all scratched but often than not the diagnosis would be demagnetized.

Last March to May, i was witness to the slow demise of my beloved ipod bringing her to hospitals (Apple Center, Ynzal) clinics (Villman and NT) quack doctors (greenhills) and home care (yup i opened up a nano.. ha ha) but all else failed, it is now the newest museum piece in my can't-throw-this-gadget-even-if-its-broken-,-its-too-dear-just-to-throw-away-hopefully-i-can-still-save-some-parts-for-frankenstein-operations-in-the-future and the culprit, the harddisk (the ynzal guy said that it will cost me 9k to replace, better to buy a new one!) this is after i spent for software, a new cable, a new battery, and repair diagnosis fees.. grrr..

then June my hard disk crashed!

Today, my new (replaced it with an ipod video 30 gig) ipod with its 15gig music and video (all the bmp videos were there) compilation just went poof! Digital amnesia.

in all situations its just data that gets lost, all the rest of the hardware in the pink of health... what am i doing so anti magnetic???

can i also ask the same q regarding my lovelife? Bwa ha ha ha

Technology fails me :(

Sige isipin niyo whatever, surreal day naman ito kung matuturing..

Kung ikaw si H***** Severino, hello.. may isang page ka sa notebook ko na nagsasaad ng "hello papa H****!" so meaning you don't have to introduce yourself like you are a nobody.. ako yun.. nobody! ikaw.. somebody! ( referring sa kanyang extro sa akin na..

h: thanks a lot, what's ur name?
n : nina
h : hi, i am h*****

n : (yes u are! head talking.. papa h*****, no need for intros..hina-hum ko pa nga ang i-witness theme when u walk on my ground!)

kung ikaw si C**** na nasaad ko na ang aking undying love and devotion, sana nakapag research naman ako tungkol sa hate affair ninyo ni K****. Feeling ko misunderstanding lang. Mabait siya, inapproach ka niya, may pagpapakumbababa. Ok yan makisama, nanlilibre ng cake (aalamin niya kung cake ang gusto mo) mapagpatawa lang, yun lang yata kayo nagkatampuhan. Promise, I can vouch for this guy's true nature ng human kindness. ( refering to the extro sa akin na ..

c : ano name mo? n : ay btw, (kiss) sorry ha starstruck lang! nina
c : hi, nakakatuwa ka naman..
kakilala mo pala siya.

c : paki sabi dyan kay K**** na may attitude problem siya (sorry, this is not quotable, 5 beers na po)

n : ah talaga, what happened, sige i will tell him

kung ikaw si T***** happy T-day talaga. isang wasak na performance na pinigil ko ng 90 minutes ang pagpalakpak sa inyo... ipagpatuloy, hanggang ngayon ay wasak pa rin ako.

Happy that ur birthday was filled with nice people, goes to show what kind of person u are. Have a wonderful life ahead. You know naman (stalker man ang dating) that i am watching you... (succeed/ make a fool of ur self (ha ha, hindi a) with anticipation.

kung ikaw si R*** Drilon, salamat sa 15 minutes na sinamahan mo ako, nung mga panahon i was starting to get my bearings.. ganun talaga ako, cold start sa social skills, sobrang sweet.. extra value sa pagdalo sa bawat mag:net gig. I heart you.

kung ikaw si J*** Torres, yihee.

kung ikaw si K**** oo nga, i can vouch for balls sa mga ganun situasyon, akala mo di ako tumitingin, pero i know how you deal with small and big people. kampi ako sa 'yo sa attitude mong ito.. kung nalaman ko lang agad ang back story mo/ nyo, i could have... napagtanggol kita agad-agad. sayang... i was looking for C**** after our talk umalis na yata agad.

kung ikaw si B***** ng pinikpikan.. oo indirectly napahamak mo talaga ako, mga customers mo yun, at ikaw naman ang pakay ko sa araw na yun na nadaan ako sa penguin. pero sige release and closure din siguro ang pagsusumbong sa iyo about it. Quits na nga tayo..

kung ikaw si E**** at J*** na super seatmates, enjoyed the geektalk, bannedmovies pimping and talking about my 3rd life (J*** hala 6 na lang hindi mo alam.. he he)

kung ikaw yung isa sa 9 + 1 T** Ermitanyo. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, its hard to hold back 90 minutes of appreciation, wasak na wasak na wasak!

haaayy parang super surreal, magoogle mo ang mga pangalan na ito for sure.. isang araw naging connectado sila sa akin. hindi exacto ako, kundi yung anonymous na nina na gumagala gala sa metro..

Eto ang teoriya ng isang nobody na kagaya ko.. after my encounter with Dolphy, naniniwala na ako sa 6 degrees. Next project ko actually si Bill Gates. lakastama! Yeba!

Kung hindi kayo makarelate cool lang.. may mga espasyo pa rin ang mga mere mortals like us sa mundo. Mga nobodies, not connected. Mga taong walang pangalan at walang hits kahit na igoogle mo ang ngalan sa internet. Bokya. :)

The King and I (parallel universe)

I am just speechless.. This is the KING!
Stories.. later.. Let me just breathe and savor the moment.

Hypothetical questions

paano mo mababawi ang number mo

paano mo ma-undo ang pagsabi ng totoo mong pangalan

paano mo matanggal and 1s and 0s ng mga imahe mo sa kanyang camera

paano ka tumakas sa mga text at calls niya

hinarass ka niya, hindi mo naman inamin, akala niya magkaibigan pa rin kayo
magaling ka kasing magpanggap na brave ka, na all good ang mundo..

kailangan bang may screen name ka pag lumalabas (ngayon ko lang naisip na dalawa ang etymology ng screen name, screen na telon at screen na matino ka bang tao para ibigay ko sa 'yo ang totoo kong 'ngalan?)

para kay...

Kung in lab ka, lahat may meaning.. kung jaded ka na lahat wala.

bring me back my innocence and naivete. But am too old for it. Sige na lang, bring me back my magic. This post should be in the secret blog, don't u think?

***

I can't decide if i should rain on your parade or just let you be.. in lab.

BB means BoB*

Hmmmm haven't recovered yet. What was I thinking?

Don't worry, am ok. Kept safe by prayers.

Just feel stupid and unlucky.

But i am ok.

Saturday was a weird, weird day..

Whole day was really just about sleeping and bumming..
4 straight night outs.. Official event, groupie duties, BMP research and album launch of a friend.. Woke up late, really late.
Big problem, I haven't started any work and I have a lot of super backlogs. Oh well.
But I have to go to penguin (tempting.. work and pleasure... he he) Penguin won as an initial event of my day. This is a 1030 meeting, 1030 PM.
I went there and I realized that that infamous and always quoted Fete de la Musique (spell check.. what the hell, am not french.) was happening that day. That day!
Almost got lost because my usual route, the remedios circle was closed..
And so the adventure started,
got a text from Ren*** of A*** A***** about his new number, invited him to join our BMP gig and he said yes.. napaka BMP mode, first conversation, done deal. I was so sure i will wing this negotiation with Penguin.
Then the person who I was supposed to meet -- the manager, Butch was so busy, saw him easily, I said hello but didn’t want to impose..I said, I'll just hang around and talk to him later. I decided to stay a while and check out the festivities..

Saw a major poet and a prominent literary journalist just hanging around.. Hmmm, good company.
And and a minor poet flirting around malate (hmmm she's building quite a rep, just heard about her doing body shots in katips last week.)
Bought some beers..
Listened to the music, lahi (mental note, get in touch with them,) pinikpikan and next in line was the dawn..
I was near the toilet area, saw an acquaintance and "his new body"
he has totally transformed himself into a semi-hunk, bwe-he-he (mental note, ask his diet regimen.) Txted him, "saw u, u looked good either am wrong, u changed or there's a better version of u alive.." short but witty txt reparte (spell check.. darn french words) followed.
And then I saw jett pangan..
And I saw another guy who suddenly stopped and planned to smack him (Smack Jett Pangan?? What the.. ) There were tugs, pushings and stares, semi smacks maybe some F*^&*.. words. I got a bit of the action since I was directly at the back side of Jett..
A minute of ruckus..
And a rose vendor came.. I bought flowers.. For Jett Pangan.
"Peace Pare."
Pinikpikan. Air thins and I had to go out, also alcohol was a bit affecting me.
Jett was also out for air, or yosi, or..
Small talk with Jett, anonymous Nina talks to Jett.
Went back to Pinikpikan, my beer needs refill.
And then a "courteous" guy paved the way towards the bar for me.. One red horse..
One fish, two fish...
"you drink like a fish… you always drink red horse?"
"not really, I had 2 lights and this is just my second horse"
Small talk pala ha..
You have been watching too many sesame street..
A stranger is a friend you haven't met.. (Need to bonk head…)
A stranger maybe a predator waiting for a victim..

Early on it was cool, I needed some conversation while waiting for Butch, some conversation to settle my nervous thoughts about the almost rumble that happened. They were there also, they saw.. they called the anti-Jett as Peque Gallaga (but the real PG is sweet, he would never do that, especially to Jett Pangan) because the guy sported a beard salt and pepper hair..
I went to talk with guy 1, 2 3 and 4.. Same group.. What was I thinking??
Then Jett's band was on..
At first I was just in a corner, with 2 ang TV girls, dancing sans ledge.
After a song, guy number 4 went near me and said I danced wild
??
And he pulled me towards the stage..
Gago guy number 4 was teasing me to hold Jett's hand.. When I realized and got shy I pulled my hand away..
And in the middle of his song, jett pangan held my hand sang me his song!
Wooooaaahhh groupie to the highest level..

I just want to end my story at this point, timeline 1 am..

Please, Please.

Yun na lang para happy.
