Please try the following: viernes, noviembre 26, 2004November 30 na nga lang ang plausible na get together date. Most people would be off from work (unless they're doing committee *coughfacultycoughfolliescough* work). Pero i-try natin. Although baka short notice na yan for the people in the bauls. Does anyone have Nathan's new number if ever? Balitaan n'yo ako if tuloy. Dami na nga ring stuff lined up this coming month.

Text NONSTOP Z7KWC43 sa 2277 Cannot Find Server at evil wolf 3:53 p. m. | 0 comment(s) Okay, isa pa uling heartbreaking story. This time about a kid who lost his pet frog. He wanted to get it back and hung flyers just like this one: 
Some little boy out there must have been crying looking for his pet, screaming "Hopkin Green Frog, where are you?" Said pet later turned out to be a McDonald's toy. 
The story grew and got passed around the internet, and even appeared in a US daily. Little by little, details about Hopkin Green Frog started to surface. Somebody searched for a similar toy over Ebay and wanted to give it to the owner, who was actually a sixteen year old autistic boy. But the boy's father did not want a replacement. He said the boy had already forgotten about his "dead" pet frog, and reintroducing a new "live" one would reopen his grief and all that. So that's the story of Hopkin Green Frog. [Much of this has been cribbed from Boingboing and Metafilter and all the other blogs who carried this meme.] Cannot Find Server at kantogirl 11:21 p. m. | 0 comment(s) Was reading a totally unrelated post regarding the 'whiz kid' hoax from Gwen's blog and something at the end of the news report caught my eye: Arnel Salgado is the principal at the fake whiz kid's school. Of course, it could be a different Arnel Salgado, totally coincidental perhaps. Pero malay natin nabagot na siya sa Baguio at bumaba na pala siya ng Maynila para dito maghasik ng lagim. Nyahahaha! But going back to that whiz kid thing, that's just so totally sad. Imagine that, ang simula at dulo pala noon ay dahil KSP sila--and that's just to put it lightly--it's always deeper than that. "We lied because no one loved us," sabi nila. Heartbreaking. I can imagine that mom's eyes all aglaze when she was telling her little girl that yes, oh yes, how good it was that they won, that they triumphed despite everything evil thrown on their path. And then this. Parang kung ako nga yung nasa lugar ng kid na yun, I might think of the Ringu book. Pero just in case that Faye Nicole San Juan is reading this, don't give up. There's life after infamy. Just look at Kris Aquino. (I just had to bring that in.)

Also read High Fidelity when I went to Sagada and Davao. Also read League of the Extraordinary Gentleman Volume 2 which is kind of disturbing lalo na si Mr. Hyde. Dapat kasama ang Never Ending Story kaya lang hindi ko matapos-tapos. never ending kasi. ngek! actually, what's keeping me from finishing the story is yung memory ko of the movie. apparently, the first movie pala ended only in the middle of the book. I never got around watching Never Ending Story 2 and 3 kaya medyo nawi-weirduhan ako at may adventures pa si Bastian when I know na sequel na dapat. A, basta! Invite ko pala kayong mga F. Sionil Jose fans sa talk niya sa UP on Nov 23, 1:30 pm sa FC Conference Hall. Dalhin ninyo ang mga kopya ninyo ng Puppy Love para ipa-autograph. Cannot Find Server at a 10:45 p. m. | 0 comment(s)
To find out the answer to that very nerdy joke, you have to read Eats, Shoots & Leaves, which I've read piecemeal, by the chapter, at the Powerbooks in Greenbelt. I know, I know, such shame not to buy it. But it's 700+ and I can't splurge right now since I got more books than I can read. Pero it's very, very interesting. Did you know that Aldus Manutius the Elder invented the italics typeface? And that his grandson Manutius the Younger declared that "the main object of punctuation was the clarification of syntax." O di ba? I'd like to give this as required reading sana for my students, but I'm poor. Next time na lang. I'll drown them with panda jokes na muna. More books I've read: 
Lost Japan by Alex Kerr. It's about this American writer who has lived in Japan for like 30 years and has seen how things have changed. Ganda ng analysis in terms of culture and sociology. I especially like the part where he describes Iya Valley, which is one of the Three Hidden Places (or something like that) in Japan. It's basically a rural place and they have to deal with depopulation, which is something that the Pinoy countryside can surely relate to. So it came to a point that there were more abandoned houses and the marrying age guys couldn't get brides. Because who would want to marry a poor farmer right? So they started to search for other nationalities who would be willing to marry them, uproot and relocate themselves to the countryside. And guess who they managed to convince? Yep, Pinays. It's something I would like to look more into. This book was just loaned to me by a friend, who's set to go to Japan and work as this writer's assistant. O di ba? I also have Mr. Kerr's other book, Dogs and Demons. But I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. But if you're into Asian Studies or something, this is a very interesting read. Letters to a Young Poet by Rainier Ma Rilke I found this book in a Diplomat store in SM City Baguio of all places. (Digression: Uuuy, I like SM Baguio a lot. I never liked SM's layouts. Ayala malls are much much better designed. But this one veers away from the usual shoebox design, and I really like their huge verandahs. I know I'm supposed to protest about the pine trees they cut down, but oh well.) For some reason, when I was reading it, it occured to me that this is something that tekstong bopis would read. But hey I read it, and it has that quote used in Kissing Jessica Stein: "For it is not simply because of mere sluggishness alone that human relationships repeat themselves from case to case in such unspeakably monotonous and unfrefreshed ways; there is also a certain shyness for new, unforeseeable experiences generally, because one doesn't feel up to them. But only for the one who is on the lookout for everything, who excludes nothing not even the most enigmatic, will the relationship to another become something alive and speak to the whole potential of one's existence." Yun lang. Maybe if Dennis read it, he would have appreciated it more. Carrie by Stephen King. A classic. Ginaya na yata ng lahat ng teen at horror movies pati na rin ng mga tv shows sa Pinas. In a weird twisted take of it, imagine Angelika dela Cruz showered with red gulaman. O di ba? Yun lang po muna. Di ko na solo ang computer room eh.

Aga ko nagasing ko today. I'm not used to so many people walking down sidewalks at bago pa lang ang sikat ng araw. Nakaka-freak out. Tapos ang daming tao sa classroom pagdating ko. Kahit na 5th floor at 830am siya. I have the feeling na baka mas ma-late ang teacher kesa students. Puwede bang i-drop from the classlist ang teacher?

Noon unang panahon, sabi ng mga ka-workshop namin ni xkg, kambal daw kami. Naka-spot si jol ng doppelganger ni xkg sa ayala rin. so baka ang nakita mo sa fx ay yung doppelganger ni xkg. hahahaha. seriously, baka kapatid ko yan. kasi may kapatid akong naliligaw sa ayala. although, i-dedeny kong magkamukha kami. napanood ba ninyo ang saksi kagabi kung saan nagwawala na naman si miriam? at ngayon ang kaaway niya ay UP dahil sinisisi niya yung isang guro sa College of Law sa pagiging isa sa dahilan kung bakit nagpakamatay ang kanyang anak? At may TV appearance pa si Dodong. May clips ngayon sa Inq. Dali panoorin ninyo habang andun pa. Sayang at hindi naman na-cover yung pangyayaring ito. Tuwing pumupunta pa naman ako sa Senado ang lagi kung hinihiling at history be made habang andun ako. Pero lagi na lang pambobola at pagbibilog ng mga ulo lang ang nakikita ko. Haaaaay! Slow day pa naman kahapon. Cannot Find Server at a 5:31 p. m. | 0 comment(s) Speaking of news, I was also browsing through the papers kanina. Next year, kailangan nating mag-import ng rice sa ibang bansa dahil hindi sapat yung 15.2 metric tons na napo-produce ng bansa. Supposedly, ang isang Pinoy ay kumokonsumo ng 105 kilos of rice a year. Given that there are 88.2 million Pinoys, what what we produce isn't enough to feed everyone. Dami di ba? Dapat siguro mag-Atkins na lang ang lahat ng tao para di na tayo mag-import ng bigas. Cannot Find Server at kantogirl 11:17 p. m. | 0 comment(s) ^Actually, nabasa ko yung tungkol sa report about the possible lindol sa diyaryo, isang umaga nitong nakaraang linggo. I remember thinking na buti na lang di gumalaw ang faultlines ng Pinas nung nasa Baguio kami. Naalala ko rin sabi ko sa nanay ko, kasalanan ito ni Regine Velasquez. Mula nung mag-umpisa yung soap nila about soulmates chu na lindol pa ang kanilang big event, nag-umpisa nang lumindol. Or puwede ring kasalanan ni Kris Aquino. Nung unang lumindol ng medyo malakas was the night after mag-open sa sinehan ang Feng Shui. Tapos yung sumunod naman, nung gabi ng Nox Librorum. Nasa basement naman kami ng Balay Kalinaw nun. Tumutugtog yung mga Manong Jazz, tapos gumagalaw yung chandelier. (May chandelier nga ba dun? Hmm..) Basta, I remember thinking, Shyet ayokong ma-trap dito sa loob. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung nandun nga yung soulmate ko sa lugar na yun. Tapos nga ayun. Lumabas ang report sa diyaryo. Nagparamdam ang Taal Volcano. I think they said that there's going to be so much damage kung may 7.8 na lindol. The last one was a 6.4 unless I'm mistaken. Konti na lang yun. Ang weird di ba? We never really saw a great war in our lives. Pero ang distinct na calamity na natatandaan ko was the Great Lindol of 1990. Tapos Pinatubo in '91. My mom is of the opinion that all those natural calamities came to the Philippines because Cory Aquino was president. Weird I know. Basta, ayokong ma-Forever in My Heart. Mulawin na lang. Cannot Find Server at kantogirl 11:02 p. m. | 0 comment(s) Nabasa ba ninyo yung post ni psychicpants tungkol sa lindol? Narinig ko rin yang announcement na yan nung Thursday nung galing akong senado. Medyo weird lang yung coincidence kasi the day before sa senado rin, pinaguusapan namin ni AVP Joey at AVP Lynn na may mga ahas na nahuli all over UP. Isa sa Quezon Hall at narinig ko while I was in Davao, isa rin daw sa Molave Residence Hall.Tapos yung alagang ahas ni officemate Jo ay nakakawala rin daw. Nag remark si AVP Lynn na malamang magkakaroon ng malakas na lindol. And lo and behold! The day after, may announcement nga ang Philvolcs. Kagabi rin pala napanood kong nagtaas ng alert level ang Taal Volcano. Siguro, epekto ito ng pag-attend ko ng CSIW, ang theme kasi nila this year ay Geology at yung nakachikahan ko pang professor ay volcanologist. Ngayon, ang tanong, tutuloy ba tayo sa Baguio on the 3rd week of November knowing na may nagbabadyang lindol? Anyhoo, has anyone noticed the heated exchange between The Diva and Dennis in their own respective blogs? Cannot Find Server at a 6:29 p. m. | 0 comment(s)
