Out of boredom, I decided to visit my old blog. And yes, I came across some really interesting stuff. Like about that entry I did on my birthday four years ago with Atom as one of my 'gifts' for he handed me that card. Hehe. But you know, it's fun reading old posts because they do tell you a lot about yourself that time. I mean, while reading those stuff, I was thinking, "Was I really the one who wrote that?"

Anyway, here's one thing I wrote. I honestly don't know why I'm posting this here but I guess I just want to share this with everyone else because they may relate to this.

Tinawag mo ang pangalan ko.

Panaginip? Hindi ko alam. Ayokong tumingin sa aking likod sapagkat ayokong ma-disappoint.

Tinawag mo ulit ang pangalan ko.

Marahil hindi na nga ito isang panaginip.

Ibinaling ko ang tingin sa lugar na pinagmumulan ng tinig.

Ikaw nga. Oo. Ikaw.

May ngiti sa iyong mga labi. Mapupula pa rin ito at mistulang hindi nakaranas ng simangot. Makikinang pa rin ang iyong mga mata na tila laging may nais iparating na hindi kayang sabihin ng mga labi. Ang buhok mo’y tila isang damuhan na nagkakasayahan at sumasayaw sa saliw ng hangin.

Ikaw. Ikaw na ikaw nga.

Nilapitan kita upang yakapin. Matagal na rin kitang hindi nakikita. Na-miss na pala kita. Kahit isang yakap lang. Parang hindi nagdaan ang maraming taon at tayo’y nagkahiwalay. Isa. Isa lang.

Hindi ka umalis sa kinatatayuan mo at mas lalong tumingkad ang ngiti na hindi pumapaltos na abutin ang iyong mga mata. Waring hinihintay mo ako.

Niyakap kita. Matagal.

Ngunit.

Wala ka na sa aking mga bisig. Hangin. Wala ka sa paligid ko. Wala ka. Ako lamang at ang kuwartong naging testigo sa mga gabing hindi makatulog at ikaw lamang ang iniisip. Wala ka. Ako lamang ang naririto.

Hindi ko man maako. Ngunit ganito talaga. Kailangang tanggapin. Multo ka na lamang ng kahapon. Pangarap. Panaginip. Hanggang doon ka na lamang. Hindi ka na akin.

Remember last year's Transformers movie? I so loved it. And I was even planning on watching it again (on the big screen) after I watched it the first time. That was one of the movies that I certainly would be remembering for the rest of my life. And yes, I can say I am a convert because I never was one who watched Transformers when I was a kid. So there.

Well, this morning, after arriving at work, Francis told me that there already were news about a sequel of Transformers. Hmmm... That would be interesting. I did try to look for any news about this and I found out that it seems like this movie is rumored to be scheduled to be shown by 2009. And the rumored title is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

How will the story for this rumored Transformers movie go? Well, here's the plot:

The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron's dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.

Well, this surely is interesting and I really would like to see a second Transformers movie.

Childbirth is something really amazing. I honestly could not get over the fact that a baby could be living inside a woman and could be out in the world after a couple of months. Though childbirth for women can be a pretty difficult thing, when you do take a look at the baby that you just brought to the world, you couldn't help but think that it is such a miracle that most people often do not get to appreciate.

A colleague and I visited another colleague whose wife just gave birth yesterday. Yup. During the Philippines' Independence Day celebration, a woman was giving birth to a beautiful baby girl. I was so happy looking at the little baby who looked so much like her mother. We wanted to call her Free (but of course, the parents had given the child a name and nickname already) and we'll call her Free. Well, that would be me and my other colleague.

Well, congratulations to you Jhong and Jassy and I'm really, really happy for you! And a grand welcome to this crazy world to your beautiful baby Free.

So here I am wasting time because my files aren't still available. See, the CPU I am using just wouldn't want to boot. This is actually the nth time that it happened and I would have to go look for some tech group person to actually make it work. So I'm wasting time just trying to wait for my files to be transferred so at least I could start doing something sensible and, yeah, worthwhile.

I also would like to thank so much the airconditioners here because they all are working so well. I am sweating ice, see? And because I am so hot, these beads of iced sweat have thawed and are now turning into real sweat. I know I'm ranting here. But what else can I do while I waste time? I've got so much time to spare.

So I am excited about wasting more time later. I'm going to ask our helper to bring my son here to work later. Then we'll be going to a friend's house and then we'll be watching the guys' basketball game later. One of my colleagues, Jo, has already volunteered to be my son's yaya. So that'll be it.

I sure do hope my files are available SOON. I can't think of anything else to do. Argh.

But see, I haven't had any coffee today. Just a gulp of iced tea.
