happy halloween

'cause life can be scary.

keys are Key

damn it i lost the key to the main door

so while i wait for my friends who hopefully will arrive, i can't go out anymore till i found that key, i'll share to you what i understood of edward de bono's six thinking hats.

so there are six hats, named after a color

white hat - what you know
red hat - what you feel
yellow hat - what you think is positive
black hat - what you think is negative
blue hat - what you have now
green hat - what is out there

the colors are based on what we normally associate them with, e.g. red is for anger or passion and green in greener pastures or yellow for sunny disposition. stuff like that so we could remember them easily

also, you could pair them up, white and red, yellow and black, green and blue.
so how does it work

when you are in a meeting or when your friends don't know where to eat [happens all the time], talk about it using one hat a time. you know how in conversations with at least two people you always end up arguing or defending what you think is right, e.g. a trial court, and you end up hiding what you know that may defend your opponent? well de bono thinks it is absurd and not very productive. but we do it anyway

so his answer is we use one hat at a time. say you can't decide where to eat. when wearing the red hat, you talk about what you guys feel about fastfood and crap. when wearing the blue hat, you talk about how much money you guys have. when wearing the yellow hat, you talk about the good things about causeway like its siomai. when wearing the black hat, you talk about the bad things about causeway like its chairs. when wearing the white hat, you can talk about where a restaurant is located and its price range, the food it serves, etc. when wearing the green hat, you can talk about the places you haven't tried yet.

what is so cool is that since you're wearing one hat a time, the discussion is orderly and everyone can ADD to the topic without being so defensive or offensive.
yeah! i wish i knew it since before and use it every time thereafter. it's like parliamentary procedure, only better

and it's more than that... i have yet to read the whole book. i'm buying it soon. you look it up

another thing i'm buying this week is alicia keys' unplugged album. damn, they were playing at music one last week when patpat was treating us out at greenbelt and i just had to ask the smile-y music one lady what they were playing. alicia keys is good but you hear her all the time. so hearing her in a slightly different way, you'd just keep on falling. in and out. of love

with you.
i need my keys. i want alicia keys. eek
keys are key and you'll only realize that when you can't find them
and there are keys which you wish you had since before and use every time thereafter

six thinking hats and an Elephant

rather dizzy for the strangest of reasons but i'm not complaining

lots of friends were here. and there
watched the 40year-old virgin and pippin and elephant
and in the tradition of the four word film review, i think:

virgin was "unexpectedly funny and sweet"
pippin was "fosse plus lead player"
elephant was "beautiful yet deeply disturbing"

that last one sure slapped me in the face. i'm pretty sure gus van sant gets it all the time, but he sure is good. thanks maki, my fine fine arts friend for sharing this one.

thoughts of that old tale about blind men and an elephant went into my mind after hearing the title. seeing how the film looked at each character's life separately to tell one whole sortof backed up those thoughts. reading van sant's ideas for the film proved he didn't think differently.

this whole notion of nothingness that i believe in popped out every now and then throughout the film and its nice to see how the boxes we call norms were being distorted.

this whole distorting of norms is prevalent too in edward de bono's super cool concept called the six thinking hats. maybe you have read about it already, if you haven't you should.

it's a whole new way of thinking, really. a whole new way of making decisions which you probably would have thought of already but you have to give de bono credit because he made it super simple. look it up. thanks louie for letting me read the book. irresponsibly read a few chapters while this whole planning session for strains was going on yesterday. but i wasn't that bad.

we weren't that bad earlier too while being the OD consultants we aim to be during this engagement meeting with acomm, a cool ateneo org on its way to accreditation run by really cool people. strains loves you too

dizzy. beautiful. not bad.

celebrations

superfest in UP

celebrating pinoy youth breakthroughs was the theme of philippine daily inquirer and hpair's seminar and even if we were just a small audience, we seemed to appreciate most of the speakers who shared good ideas.

there was this poet who leads the radioactive sago project, a couple of senators, a couple of journalists, this guy from mckann-erickson and a bunch of socially-responsible groups telling us to take the long route.

some were boring, like senator angara saying this government ain't protecting the environment [i sorta admire him but hearing political undertones in his speech saying that this administration does not have any program for the environment sorta was annoying, he's a senator so he should've informed denr minus the media blitz if there indeed was no program. so what if he's from the opposition]

some were insightful, like the mckann-erickson guy whose publick speaking skills are very admirable but should be expected of an advertiser. he shared the mckann pulse containing research on filipino consumers and why they buy what they buy

some were unexpected, like the poet slash radioactive sago project vocalist guy who was happy being a two-hit wonder while telling us why he did whatever the hell he did. thanks to nico who thought i should go and to tine and din and mike for also going.

borderline idealist-realist events like this remind me of frank and charlie and mary's story in sondheim's merrily we roll along. yes, we can change the world.


patpat's bday blowout in greenbelt

patpat, who decided not to transfer to diliman from UP cebu, came to manila for this aiesec conference, some student exchange org which she said was really cool [she shared her house with a belgian, a brazilian, a czech and an englishwoman already, talk about cultural exchange]

it also was in time for her birthday so she treated her friends here in manila out [which were only 5 thanks to sembreak but 2 couldn't go thanks to la salle] and so we first showed her stuff in manila where she might want to buy stuff. then we ate at haiku [very good rice bowls, so-so california maki] which was unexpectedly stomach-filling. looked around for music cds and whatnot [finally figured out the name of that painting store, sketch books]. then ate again my favorite chocolate mousse from brenner's. yum. gia and erika and patpat weren't so pleased of my idea of us eating there but we all had fun with the ice cream [they're a sister company of haagen dasz] and laughing at whoever and whatever we could think of, from mountaineering to nursing to poor eye sight. patpat pointed out that kitchie nadal was there but i was happier of raymond the trainee waiter's presence and service. bald men should smile more often to compensate for the hair they lost

it's always so good to see a fresh face from my old highschool friends. hapBday pat! we are to miss cafe laguna


pippin in here

decided to watch a few clips from pippin after, around 2 in the morning. its a musical about charlemagne's son with a lead player who knows where to draw the line between upstaging and not. i loved the title role and his corners of the sky song [reminded me of giants in the sky] and that whole borderline idealist-realist thingy struck me again. are we to go out there and find our purpose or live in spring to the fullest because fall is about to come?

crap yeah, right now i want to bake. bea ortigas from last year's merrily talked about sharing her oatmeal choco chip cookies. i miss her, and the cookies

Dear White fella,
Coupla things you should know:
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I cold, I black
When I scared, I black
and When I die, I still Black...
and you, White fella,
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
and When you die, you gray...
and you be calling me Coloured?!


he's got a point, you know.
got it from this editorial on philippine star, oct21,2005 issue

had a great day today despite the ab cramps early morning forcing me to spend the rest of the day all for myself and not to help out with blueREP sweet charity audish [which were extended, nov11!]. found myself trying out this new healthy restaurant called hi.lo at shang. not that bad. also found out that fish&co is opening tomorrow, also at shang. watched charlie and the chocolate factory again today [with cute subtitles, you know that part when johnny depp calls an oompa loompa with an ululu sound, the subtitle would read "ululates". cute], and i must say i still am loving it, which puts it on my list, a list that requires all those in it to be reviewed at least twice [except for chocolat and the motorcycle diaries and into the woods and n.e.r.d].

OD to do

the world's longest buffet.
good idea gone bad

i had more fun taking pictures of people assaulting the food servers than actually eating. "not so glamorous," said one pretty fine lady. but papu, his friends, jed, joy, gary, ozy and joms made it an experience

so now that these red spots are less itchy, a bit, i can now talk of how my week in baguio, in benguet went. damn do i miss you guys already. thanks for that one hell of an evaluation seminar

through this one entire bus strains got for everyone, we reached this certain place in benguet owned by noel at around 3pm and we were welcomed by a truly beautiful view. the first day was rest-y and we newbies were asked to observe how the engagement teams worked and boy was i overwhelmed with all the discipline and the science and the ooh-aahs involved. then it was the traditional treasure hunt, which was real fun but made the rest of my life itchy ever since.

then every single detail of strains was evaluated. from the trainings to the human resources department to the logistics to the products. even the vision-mission statement wasn't spared. and that took a lot of time. a huge lot. talk about hours just for a sentence or two. but they were all worth it 'cause we knew of strains more now than ever, even for the oldies who new the org by heart ever since their freshmen years. wow

organizational development. OD. that is what strains is all about and we are trained to become OD consultants. rather fancy term for a rather fancy job by rather fancy people. and like what i said during that whole commitment thing, strains is number 2 on my list next sem, from last sem's number 4. to do OD is my way to serve, our unique way of changing the world.

lisnin to our time from merrily we roll along. "you know, after this moment... we are gonna be able to do anything. anything we ever dreamed of. what a time to be alive!" sure is what i felt after those strains moments, you guys. damn it feels like the day after a theater production or days around my highschool graduation bash or the last day the baklayberx was ever really complete. heavy in an it-ain't-so-bad kind of way

feelin kinda itchy. still awfully itchy

each itch

is annoying

is a metaphor

is totally useless

is an abomination meant to make me lose my sanity and think of the stupidest things to do like scraping my skin off

is an asshole. nearly 2 in the morning and i'm ranting about all these red spots covering my body that every now and then would call on my fingers to release that f-ing itch trapped inside each of them

just arrived from the medical city, which we visited after unloading my strains evsem stuff, which i brought while eating dinner with the blueREP core in the middle of their evsem meeting, which started while i was on my way down from baguio.

don't get me wrong. i had a blast in baguio with strainers who are now more convinced of what we are really doing [not that we weren't convinced before]. totally had a blast, you guys. but i'll share everything about that evsem later

let me first talk about these red spots covering my body. maybe they're caused by those bugs that crawled on to my feet while doing this whole treasure hunt game thing with the other strainers. maybe. they're all dead by now and cursing them to rot in hell would do no one no good.

after 4 trips to the bathroom just to cleanse myself of eeky itchiness and asking for a glass of hot water at seattle's and after trying on this cold pack straight from the fridge and buying this skin disease ointment and following noel's idea of placing a hot compress and applying louie's caladryl ointment and after countless it-ain't-itchy chants to self and countless scratch-it-while-it's-itchy moments and countless burts of waaaaaaaaaa, they're still there. and multiplying

waaaaaaaaaa

each itch is a reminder of that delicate balance between what's good and what's bad
each itch is mother nature's slap in the face
each itch is itchy. terribly itchy

finals is over. finally
had my last exam for psych. and i won't be taking any for the next 40 days. unless some 2nd sem teacher wants to test me on the first week

on the way home from papu's and joms' and andrei's class play [which was good and funny and sad all in one b.a.w. i congratulate you 3 plus marcy and keylin and ron] where i had to be gerauld's fil blockmate, his parents were listening to nelly, over and over.

this totally significant event brought me back to my old playlist. from the strokes' last nite to the temptations' my girl to sisqo's thong song to nelly's over and over. songs i look for everytime i'm in redbox or in k1 singing. memories

they keep playing over and over. in the most unexpected of
moments

caught snippets of biloxi blues on hbo earlier at rj's starring matthew broderick, some guy i look up to. real funny movie. real real too. read on time that he's doing another broadway musical with nathan lane, the oddcouple. whoa. all tickets are sold already [read they've earned the most pre-opening night money in broadway history]. all while the producers is being released as a movie [with will ferrel and uma thurman]. gotta love matthew broderick.

and his hot wife, carrie and his partner, timon

rj is leaving for cebu already. they're discussing gatherings at portofino already. they're deciding on meeting at ayala cebu already. they're having their real sembreak already. you guys have fun, now i'm really missing cebu

but the seemingly small things keep me happy. like noel. he's sending me n.e.r.d's fly or die album woohoo she wants to move and wonderful place are songs from that album that are on my old playlist that are songs i will listen to over and over for the rest of my life

thanks no, i heard ur bohol-ing. whatever happened to bora. good decision cause i'd rather miss going to bohol with you guys than going to bora with you guys

gerauld's parents were talking about ding qua qua siomai and harbour steamed rice on the way home. food you can never find here in a much bigger metro manila

but there's also food i won't find in cebu. last night i discovered champorado on max brenner's menu. [you also should try my lola/nanay's champorado] but it's only till 1130 in the morning. now whoever thought of keeping breakfast till 1130 should rot somewhere

pretty petty pooping

mountain rose herbs summer catalog for this year opens with:
"This catalogue can be recycled, (or composted) though we hope that you choose to keep it around for a while."

wahehe ain't it the cutest? it's made of recycled paper and soybean inks.

just petty ramblings about stuff

i just realized while encoding the synopsis of "sino ba kayo?", a julian cruz balmaseda play which is a personal favorite, for gerauld that when you type in Filipino your left pinky finger tends to be the most abused, physically and emotionally [if it had a heart of its own]. try writing ridiculously long filipino papers and prove to me otherwise

loved law finals. we hoping we get the same prof next sem. fingers crossed

galian was noisy earlier. blecch. the sound of chicago and hairspray was ok though. caught up on stuff with pao and tanya and gerauld after. and mikey!

baklayberx are planning to go to bohol while i ain't there. crap crap

read some articles from twisted by jessica safra earlier while waiting at national bookstore for a friend. she's funny, gotta admit. and pretty neat writing. read about her tips on studying for school, for reading billboards, and to avoid getting caught on a porn video scandal

found good dvds worth buying at gateway. there are original copies of angels in america, sex&thecity, finding neverland. saw them already but it would be treason of me to appreciate those films and not the filmmakers. say no to piracy. buy pirated dvds. then buy original dvds when you get the money

i get to sleep tomorrow. all day, unless some crap convince me to go out and waste time somewhere else. we'll see

pooping.
i like it. i'll turn it into some mantra or something: poop! leave a mark.
everyone's being told to not just live a good life, leave a legacy as well.
well i think leaving a legacy and pooping have a lot in common. but the former's gotta admire the latter for the latter leaves a mark in all five senses.

researchers conclude that you're more likely to win in a competition if you're one of the last to perform. it's not because judges aren't doing their job, the researchers say its most likely because people tend to perform better when they see other people's performance already.

maybe that's why we always wanted to go last when asked to report. but the study doesn't have to apply to all, just felt like sharing. read on

i think

random bits
woke up at around 1pm earlier realizing that my filipino paper due hours later was still halfway done. 2 hours later it was and i loved it. the result? an analysis of the union of farmers of sampilong from the novel "luha ng buwaya" of amado v. hernandez using the activity theory of vygotsky, et. al. [haha i just googled activity theory by chance the night before while looking for a socio-historical approach, which our professor required, to studying the novel]

had to stop that playlist of songs. i can't seem to think straight
there.

caught something on discover earlier at the lib [after passing that filipino paper right on time, i just had to rest and sit down knowing it's gonna rain and i didn't bring an umby], electrons can actually be in two places at once.

whoa. make that infinitely many places at one moment. it has been proven and backed up by quantum mechanics. so the next question: why can't i be in two places at one time?
i'd be in class to avoid cuts while i'd be in cebu catching up on friends

so the article goes and explains why quantum mechanics, the science of the really small can't seem to work for the science of the very big [stars and galaxies] or the science of the just rightly sized [me and you].

then it introduces a very common concept [which i thought einstein proved inexistent] to answer maybe why i can't be in two places at one time- gravity.
now i realized einstein did not prove it was inexistent, he merely explained it in a way different from how newton [the guy who first thought of it] explained it.
i used to dream of becoming an astrophysicist. next to being a neurosurgeon and a biomechanical engineer. maybe after law

caught something from the economist too [ads people are right], sudan's leaders are now uniting with its rebels for, i presume, the common good. so are germany's, whose elections reminded me of that gore-bush thing 5 years ago. good news good news compared to the horrors at darfur or during hitler

thanks to the magazine, i finally was explained of the importance of the chinese spending more and the americans saving more. its this saving-investment balance we are trying to maintain and thrift economy doesn't seem to work for those stupid americans [not really, but uncle sam sure does look stupid especially beside kim jong-il]. the chinese [although they seem they've been spending a lot lately] need to spend more, and so does the rest of the world [not so sure with the philippines hehe]

also read about japan's viagra economy. haha i like it
and how mr. dell runs dell

remember my post about companies i admire. apple ain't there cause i dont have an ipod nano yet. and this article compared dell with apple. mr. dell: predictable and serious as mr. jobbs: cool and glamorous, with how they run their companies i mean. what's interesting is it works for both of them. cool can't wait to be ceo or coo someday. but chief finance officer will be fine as well. maybe after law

is it just me or does everyone miss everyone else really. i like it. i miss clarisse and that loft scene during rent every time we do blue revue. i miss socsci foyer and those pebbled floors that bruised my knees. i miss mikey and his beatboxing feats. i miss hanging out at mateo ricci with strainers nikki and louie. i miss studying for math with t or t1

was at cello's and as i was reaching for my 2pesos change the cashier lady said here's your two hundred peso change, sir. and i'm like sure why not. and she smiled. checheng
hehe i don't like her or anything but people should smile more often. not just during times of two hundred pesos or two pesos.

it's finally finals!

but before that, let me just put here my admiration for google. yes, google. some of the companies i admire tend to have negative traits

you have coca cola selling unhealthy softdrinks yet it remains the most prized brand in the world

you have starbucks selling ridiculously expensive coffee yet you can see it everywhere [gotta love that the onion headline: "starbucks opens nth branch inside starbucks restroom"]

you have mcdonalds selling fatty burgers and krispy kremes [or gonuts donuts] selling fatty donuts but they take pride in serving billions

you have microsoft selling all it can sell by making sure no one else can sell them yet you gotta admit there's no better word processor than word

you have san miguel selling beer with its owner amassing haciendas yet there's oktoberfest

and then there was google. those two guys sure are big now. i used to laugh at the simplicity of their homepage [those two Os]. it's that very trait i highly admire now
but really, i only wanted to talk about google now for one thing- google print. that feature where you can search for books and actually read them online. its the real online library. although your reading is still limited [i was searching for harry potter books that way i might not need to buy the seventh one; much to my dismay hihi i dont like harry potter that much anyway], it sure is a start. cool
but then i figured, there's google scholar. then google earth. then froogle. then gmail. then google talk. then blogger

yeah, all thanks to google. years ago i thought yahoo was far better. but who cares
it's all about the here and the now. for now

i've been getting lots of drink-the-night-away offers now that i'm of legal age but didn't pursue any. maybe during the break with this clique in cebu. damn i miss them rogie, ne, py, nikki, mandy, noel, ibyang, paupau. hopefully my plans for the break would push through. i heard a new cousin of mine is getting baptized this break. waaaaaa i might have to cancel my trip to cebu

for Batchmates

scihi2004. some of them i haven't seen for more than a year. creepy. it was great seeing them last friday where we ate lunch together. had a good time you guys. my fingers are crossed, i'm sensing my trip now has a 50% from a good 80% chance of pushing through. crap. i want to bora or to parasail or at least be in cebu.

for Blue Revue and Baguio and Blowouts

strains is planning to conduct its evaluation seminar at baguio, days after finals week. woohoo i'm so gonna be there with isa and louie and everyone else. can't wait. but it sure means my trip home would be delayed. but it sure is ok. the whole seminar will also be days after the blue revue cast party. woohoo i heard there's a spiritual session before it. hihi also, louie's birthday blowout will be on the same day. waaaaaa but all will be in greenhills so i'm gonna manage to go to and from places. me excited

for B
