In the Bat Cave

Some interesting characters.

Reshwin the Shooter. small. tough. patriotic. he can also fool you with his funny stunts. hopefully, his noble principles can lead to the end of the terrorists.

The Thin Buddha. sought after for his wisdom with no charge at all. he seems to follow a single line when he walks. the more he smokes, the more his mind is enlightened..

Leng Goodman. big. weighs around 280lbs. can fall asleep even while standing. he knows a lot of people - a congressman, a general, a gov't official, name it, some with bad habits while most of them with good and valuable influences. and he's clean. he's big in tummy and big in spirit.

Zheal. she has nice dimples, pleasant disposition. i might be wrong but i think she also eats a lot. she doesn't mind to have lots of friends and not have a regular date at the moment. she just enjoys life as it is.

Singing Sonnel. he is the big, big boss. he's straight (hope not hardcore straight). he likes concerts and musical shows. he also likes performing infront of an audience. and he sings a lot!

The Walking Database. he is the big boss. unselfish of his ideas. boasts about how he outwitted the "Blue Pigeons".. he works a lot. and that's bad. because, he also gives us a lot of work..

The Emblem of the Modern Filipino Culture

What is singing yet out of tune
What is high scores yet shouting
What is hoping to have a chance when you are not heard
What is sarcasm when you have the trophy
What is whining when you have no audience

Of Form and Function

Practical, wholesome, usable, mobile.. These are some of the distinct words to describe my possessions. Form and function are of the same weight. Owning something also goes with reason.

My fourth mobile phone is a Siemens ME45--small & light, water and shock resistant, very durable, has a handsfree feature that I can use while driving, GPRS enabled so I can access clickthecity.com anytime I want to check on the current movie schedule. It's not for trade even with a Nokia camera-featured phone.

I listen Evanescence or some local artists' songs with a water-resistant Intel MP3 player that can accommodate a memory card for additional storage with changeable face plates.

My office watch is a Timex chronograph with a pearl dial. What's fascinating is that my watch has a 1/100 sec timer, something that a Technomarine that costs 500% more doesn't have.. It's form & function rolled into one.

My walking rubber shoes (can also be used in mountaineering) are not comfortable-looking, not so attractive. Made of gortex technology, it's waterproof!

Too much of the waterproof stuff--I might end up inviting burglars in my house..
