Hi! I missed you!
If there’s anything I haven’t done lately, it’s thinking and pondering and wondering…but that’s for a different post. I’ll leave that to the leprechauns to chase. This is for something more tangible and more closely defined within the typical consumerist minds of Americans — yay a product review. Not really.
It’s more like a little list of things I would not want my less conscious mind to forget to buy in case I ever run out or they break or my dog eats it.
(Pardon me for my ignorance but I do not know how to post a picture in this shit hole in line with my text).
This saved my life! For the first time in my entire existence, I broke out on my cheeks — these minuscule little shitheads populated my face and nose…and they brought along their parents, big ugly hormone-caused oil and puss filled red mountains of doom. It’s like the ring of fire but on my face. So, I used this twice a day till it started clearing and my face dried out a little. Whenever I put this on my cheeks and occasionally on my forehead, I felt like I had a face lift. It kept my skin tight, but dry. So I had to make sure to put a slab of moisturizer after it was absorbed. It has 1.5% salicylic acid which is less than the typical 2% that is found on most acne treatment products that I’ve tried so far, but it was good enough. The gel dries quickly and I like that. Yay.
Pancho bit into my bottle — since it’s so soft and squeezable — so now there’s a hole on the side. I didn’t want to throw it away so I patched it up with a little tape hehehe. I would not want to buy a brand new bottle a day after I just got one. Okay that’s all! So, Trisha, thou shall not forget to buy this again.
I remember back in high school, all the girly girls would be so proud to have this. 5 years later, I finally got my own! After a year of using some 99c eyelash curler that would chop off my eyelashes and keep the rest curled only to the side, and cut into my eyelids, I finally thought of getting this.
So, I tried it yesterday. I liked how the curler is not so curved and how the pad is a little bit more round than the one I was using before — The curve fits the shape of my eyes. The round pad prevents eyelashes from having that very noticeable crease or the “L”. Best 20 bucks of my life.
3. Uhm… Ichimi Togarashi
This goes into almost every dish I eat! Yummy. I dont taste it so much but it adds a little spicy kick to my food. Heh. Just had to add this in here. Grocery list item #1, added.
Okay that’s all. I would not want to dive in the consumer pool just yet.
Me.

I apologize for the very conceited post, but this has to be.
As much as I would want to keep this to myself and as much as my mind is contradicting me, I miss you.
Okay end of story moving on.
“Muevelo.” Oh let me see other versions.. muevete? mueveme? Crap. I want to do something with my life… and so I decided to write. Someone stopped me from mediocrity (yes it’s the word of the day). There is so much more to life than ADV1′s ADV4′s …manager ones two and threes… directors and ceo’s… to break room coffees, hello pandas, sour punch and ginger tea. Life has a lot in store aside from khaki pants, purple checkered polos, red polka dot socks. The big bang sure created so much more than weekly achievements that mostly relate to code fixes, system updates, new requirements, old requirements that were missed, lack of authorizations, poor design, and all that crap. I’m pretty sure that aside from the celestial bodies, time, space, and matter, the big bang also created dreams and aspirations and world changing ideas and wonderful people and that thing called greatness. I’m sure many have made buckets of money over books on greatness but how does that determine the measure of greatness? It should be relative, right? Well how do you measure one’s standards if one’s standards aren’t even set? Someday we’ll know.
I want to change the world. Join me.
Thoughts.

“You either you do, or you don’t”
“Well what if you do?”
“Then you’re screwed.”
“What if you don’t?”
“You’re still screwed.”
Apologies to those thrown back by the cynicism and lack of faith. We all know the world would not end too soon. A little sacrifice goes a long way, after all…right? Who said that in the first place? Who was the genius who said give up your shit and follow me, make me rich? He ought to be a saint by now, which I wouldn’t doubt. This is rather a discourse on religion, not faith. Are all religions like this at some point? It’s similar to organized crime minus the publicized armor and tattoos, add halo and chants. But that’s not what we’re here for, is it?
I wonder how faith is measured. Will there be a checklist before you die? Or is there an ongoing checklist? Is the measure based on a global metric? Are your results compared to those before you? Will I pass? If I can’t trust myself or others, does that mean I don’t have faith in God either? Oh I’m doomed.
Infect me with your love

Reformation 10101. After eating at the Brazilian buffet, it felt as if a massacre took place in my mouth — all that meat. Lesson learned… there are lessons to be learned from PETA adds.
Graduation 10101. It felt as if there were swarms of bees in my tummy — this is good — better than the normal diarrhea feeling. There is now a period to the long awaited, extra extended ellipses in the not so long sentence of computer science undergraduate education. Good day. Thanks Ma and Tita Bebe. Thanks Paul. Thanks Nicki. ha. Thank YOU, finally. Loli, would you have been proud of me? I hope this made you happy.
p.s. i hope those smiles were not all plastered just because the day called for it.
Continuation 10101. What next? More work, more competition. We’ve been on this boat for a while now so there’s really not much to be surprised about.uhh but … WHAT NEXT!?!?! =)
Good times.
Back to Zero

Ahh the introductory stage of calamity psychology. One would feel instantaneous pulses of emotion – as if being shot by adrenalin straight to the cardiac muscle. One may say that this feeling is similar to that of pulling the trigger aimed for a kill – while others would say it is reminiscent of touching the goal 0.01 seconds before the others. The human body has been gifted – or shall we say – enabled with a spectrum of emotions. With so many chemical imbalances and combinations, it would be easy to assume that attaining one specific emotion is easy, doable. If so, then why do we all search for it?
Yes. It’s that feeling of true ….. (I can’t say it because I’m still in the process of attaining it).
Why is it so easy to say yet so hard to prove? I hope there’s a user’s manual for everything thrown at us in life: lemons, strawberries, apple pie… but then it would be half the fun and zero the life.
Hello penguins.

It would be nice to say thank you to each person but that would make it inevitable to forget someone or something. So to all that has happened, is happening and will eventually come, THANK YOU. To everybody along the way, thank you. To the little things that made life as colorful as it is, thank you. Gracias. Merci. Terima Kasih. Arigato. Maraming salamat po.
