2008 Musings, welcoming 2009!

Here's to a grand 2009 coming your way! 

While this year has been filled with its bipolar ranges of happiness and sadness, it definitely is not without its memorable moments and cherished experiences.   I have no regrets for anything that happened in my life with each and every moment contributing and enriching my life to make it more interesting, more meaningful, more precious.

Thank you for being part of it.

Thank you for being there to help me grow.

Thank you for being there to make me stronger, to remind me I can be weak, to rock out with me, to swing and dance, to relish food, to starve for attention, to demand for what we deserve, to accept what we cannot have...  thank you for embracing me when I needed hugs, and for being a world away when I needed more, thank you for listening when no one would, and for minding my business even when I asked you not to.  Thank you for reminding me that I can laugh, and teasing me of my failures, of dressing me up to look my best, and of stripping me naked to my faults.

Thank you for the honesty.

Thank you for the patience.

Thank you for the love.

Thank you for the respect.

Here's to a new year ahead of us.  Another chance to remind each other the joys of being alive and unique and the opportunity to share it with each other.  Just remember, its a choice to be happy, its a right to be loved and its your fingers so watch what you're playing with, be it firecrackers or hearts.

Definitely hitting O bar after the fireworks. 

If you are going, see you there!

As my friend Stan put it so perfectly,
Let's start the new year with a dance!

MY SUNDAY NIGHT

So, how about you?  How was your Sunday?

BATTLE FOR THE COWL TEASER!

"Covers and pin-up types of art like this take me forever," the artist said. "It was very fun to draw it. I got a chance to draw some really cool conceptual Batman outfits. Editorial gave me free reign on all of the Batman suits, so I just did what I thought would look cool. Except the first one, who is obviously Tim, in the classic yellow oval suit. The challenge really was just execution – trying to be consistent with body types."

Although Daniel would confirm the identity of Tim Drake on the left, he wasn't confirming the identity of the other three cowl-wearers. So we asked: Are these actual designs we'll be seeing in the Battle for the Cowl comic? Or are they just representations?

"Just representations for the most part. Though it would be nice to see the yellow oval return, wouldn’t it?" Daniel said.

The artist said the inspiration for the image was to "to do something like the teaser image we saw for Countdown by Phil Jimenez, where you’re forced to interpret what you see."

Many Newsarama readers have already noticed some of the smaller clues, like the limp arm spilling out of the broken crate, the white material around what appears to be Bruce Wayne's leg, and the backwards "J" on the Joker card. But Daniel wasn't willing to say much about the clues other than to confirm that a few of them will specifically show up in Battle for the Cowl.

"A couple things will ring true in Battle for the Cowl," he said with a laugh. "But it wouldn’t be a teaser if I told you which ones they are!"(from Newsarama)

Now this I am excited to read.

RUNAWAY RANT TRAIN

This is a runaway rant train.  I do not suggest getting caught in its path.  No, I will never disclose who these people are but these thoughts are eating me up and I best get them out before the next year begins.

1.) Sometimes I wonder why I bother.  Sometimes I wonder why I try to be so open-minded with you.  Do you realize how hard it is to be your friend?  Do you realize that at times, you can be so self-centered and so dense? 

But then I remember you ARE my friend.  And so I remain steadfast and ever there to make sure you are safe and well.  But really.  Sometimes, notice naman how you affect me.

2.) I love you as my friend, but really, you can be so full of shit.  But don't worry, we can grab the shit and make fucking crap castles with it.

3.) Wake up.  Wake and up realize how damn lucky you are.  Are you really that blind to all the blessings and opportunities you have surrounding you?  So things aren't exactly the way you want.  Who ever gets something exactly the way they want, any way?

4.) Okay.  Fine.  I get the point.  So I've been biased for quite some time.  But if you knew the whole story, you'd realize I'm actually being very generous and kind to be merely biased and not more confrontational.

5.) Thank you.  Actually, I have already told you this, but I am posting it here again in case you don't remember.  Thank you for being my friend and thank you for once being my enemy.  It was by seeing both extremes that now I can truly say I know you.  And you know me.  And with that, we have a friendship far stronger than ever.

Thank you again for being my friend.
Even if you barely remember when I open up to you.

6.)  Slow down.  I know you feel the world has thrown upon you its weight and pressure, but really, drowning yourself in your sorrows helps no one.  No one at all. 

Break out of your routine.  Do something different.  Trust me it helps.

And one last rant for myself:

Hoy, Tobie.

You are fucking thirty one.
Thirty frigging one years old.  Stop thinking you can save the world.  Stop thinking all your friends need you to help them.   And stop you can easily see in the perspectives of others.  You can't know everything and you DON'T know everything so don't kick yourself too hard when things go foul.

And yes.  Though it feels like you're chasing pavements, don't be blind to the fact at least there still are roads to choose from.  Other people don't have such liberties.

That's it for now.
Am getting off this train.

Christmas with the Abad Family (Mother side)

Had lunch at Dencio's. After each family shared their own updates on what's going on, Lola Rose shared wonderful food for thought words for each member of the family. For me and my cousin Anton, she reminded us both that heartbreaks aren't the end of everything. And that in life, there's no harm in "collecting then selecting."

Ha!
How's that for a Christmas Message, ey?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas 2008 at O bar!

Yep, after spending some time with the family, I decided to head to O bar to meet up with my friends! Christmas made more spectacular with my great friends, wonderful music, laugh-out-loud shows and free flowing alcohol!

Merry Christmas to all you Party gO-ers!
Here's to a wonderful and blessed Christmas Season!

The ABAD Family Noche Buena

With delectable dishes to dine upon, the ABAD family + Lambert enjoys a hearty healthy Christmas dinner! Merry Christmas to you all!

Who Here Wants Santa To Come Visit?

Me being me, I hope you will allow me to wish you all a delightfully scary Christmas this year!
Tinsel and glitter may be bright and fun, but sometimes you just want to murder someone!

Hahahahah~!

Merry Christmas to you all!

Thundercats Movie trailer

God how I wish the real movie is anything CLOSE to how cool this is.

Thundercats..... Ho!!!!!

UNIQLOCK

This is my watch from now on.
LOVE IT!

LOST

I love the show.


I really do.
There are so few shows that I enjoy as much as Lost.

And ironically, that's what I feel as of the late.
Lost.  So many things to do. To handle.  To take care of.  To fix.  To repair.  To understand.  To accept.  To let go.  To allow.  To ignore.  To absorb.  To appreciate.  To try and make the most of.  To heal from.

Lost.
But I guess that's what makes living so much worth it.

Gift Giving to the De La Salle Lipa Br. Stephen Rabisa Scholars

That time of the year again!
Sadly, my battery ran out of power real early. Will try to get copies of the other pictures taken that day.

Merry Christmas!

Things that made me happy... and sad... today.

We get a first glimpse of The Surrogates, based on the graphic novel and opening Sept. 25. In the film, FBI agents (Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell) investigate the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves—fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles—enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who's real and who can you trust?

I first heard of this comic when Isha sent me the graphic novel as a gift.    I found it to be an incredibly fun read, and for something that was deeply entrenched in science fiction, very open and accessible to non-sci fi readers.  So to learn its coming out as a movie is very very exciting for me.  The only downside, is that it is being produced by Disney.  So I don't know if the edginess of the graphic novel will still be retained.

I also am very excited for this, even if I was never a fan of the show, Smallville.  But I am a HUGE fan of the LEGION!!!

WOOOOOH!


But now, the thing i am not happy with.
THEY ARE REINVENTING THE CROW.
WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY?!?!?!

Math Jokes - Naalala ko si Beej. Belated Happy Birthday!

Are you 2x? Because I want to intergrate you from 10 to 13!

I derived your mom last night.
It was f prime.

How is sex like math?
1. Half the time I get an odd result.
2. If my hands aren't enough, I end up using my head.
3. I always wonder how the person next to me is doing on his work.
4. My average at each is pretty dismal.

What is 69 and 69?
Dinner for four..

What is 6.9?
Good sex interrupted by a period.

Q: If you go to bed 8 hours before you have to wake up, and your wife wants to have 2 hours of sex, how much sleep will you get?
A: 7 hours, 57 minutes - who cares what she wants!

Some pickup lines:

I wish you were my calculator so i could plug my natural log into you.

I wish I was sin^2(x) and you were cos^2(x), so together we could be 1.

I wish our dot product were 0 so my vector could be normal to your unit circle.

I want to be a derivative so i can be tangent to your curves.

Why don’t you be the numerator and I be the denominator and both of us reduce to simplest form?

How can I know so many hundreds of digits of pi and not the digits of your phone number?

Ever wonder what L’Hopital’s rule has to say about limits in the form of me over you?

Baby, can I be your integral, so I can be the area underneath your curves.

Can I plug my solution into your equation?

The volume of a generalized cylinder has been known for thousands of years, but you won’t know the volume of mine until tonight.

At this moment 5 million are having sex, 2 million are in gun fights, 91 million at a party, and one sad loser is reading this joke

A graduate student of mathematics who used to come to the university on foot every day arrives one day on a fancy new bicycle. "Where did you get the bike from?" his friends want to know."It's a `thank you' present", he explains, "from that freshman girl I've been tutoring. But the story is kind of weird..." "Tell us!" "Well", he starts, "yesterday she called me on the phone and told me that she had passed her math final and that she wanted to drop by to thank me in person. As usual, she arrived at my place riding her bicycle. But when I had let her in, she suddenly took all her clothes off, lay down on my bed, smiled at me, and said: `You can get from me whatever you desire!'" One of his friends remarks: "You made a really smart choice when you took the bicycle." "Yeah", another friend adds, "just imagine how silly you would have looked in girls clothes - and they wouldn't have fit you anyway!"

Q: How are math and sex the same?
A: I don't get either one.

A mathematician and an engineer agreed to take part in a psychological test. They sat on one side of a room and waited not knowing what to expect. A door opened on the other side and a naked woman came in the room and stood on the far side. They were then instructed that every time they heard a beep they could move half the remaining distance to the woman. They heard a beep and the engineer jumped up and moved halfway across the room while the mathematician continued to sit, looking disgusted and bored. When the mathematician didn't move after the second beep he was asked why. "Because I know I will never reach the woman." The engineer was asked why he chose to move and replied, "Because I know that very soon I will be close enough for all practical purposes!"


A physicist, a mathematician and a computer scientist discuss what is better: a wife or a girlfriend. The physicist: "A girlfriend. You still have freedom to experiment." The mathematician: "A wife. You have security." The computer scientist: "Both. When I'm not with my wife, she thinks I'm with my girlfriend. With my girlfriend it's vice versa. And I can be with my computer without anyone disturbing me..."


Why does 1+1=1?
1 male + 1 female = 1 baby

Q: If you have two friends and six women, how many women do each of your friends get?
A: None.

Q. How do you teach a blond math?
A. Subtract her clothes, divide her legs, and square root her. joke




Before I root you, are you over 18?

"What happened to your girlfriend, that really cute math student?"
"She no longer is my girlfriend. I caught her cheating on me."
"I don't believe that she cheated on you!"
"Well, a couple of nights ago I called her on the phone, and she told me that she was in bed wrestling with three unknowns..."

A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Music
Genre:	Other
Artist:	Kristin Chenoweth

If you're like me who still laments the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, you can still get a small hint of it this Christmas by listening to Kristin Chenoweth's Christmas album called "A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas."

With truly lovely classic songs such as I'll be Home for Christmas, Silver bells, and What Child is This as well as less popular songs such as Christmas Island, the Christmas Waltz, and Sleigh Ride/Marshmallow World, you will definitely find yourself feeling the spirit of the season while visualizing possible scenes that could have been happening in Pushing Daisies for each song. Kristin approaches the music with a whimsical heartfelt honesty and yet successfully injects in a touch of country and a dash of gospel.

So check it out if you want to enjoy this Christmas season with something new to tickle your heart.

ONE DREAM IS COMING TRUE

PU TANG I NA!

WE3 is becoming a film.

Kung Fu Panda Co-Director Helming We3

December 9, 2008

ShockTillYouDrop.com reports that Kung Fu Panda co-director John Stevenson is attached to helm We3, based on the Vertigo mini-series of the same name.

Written by Grant Morrison, who adapted his own source material, the action-packed, hyper-violent and heartbreaking story focuses on three test animals - a dog, a cat and a rabbit - who are infused into prototype combat suits equipped with various weaponry. Thanks to chips in their skulls, they're allowed to speak. This trio breaks free and We3 tells of their perilous return home.

Happy Birthday Don Dee!

A small simple birthday celebration at REWIND for Don's birthday this December.
With me was Tom, Sonny, Nico and Naoki.
Had fun with lots of food, singing, beer and jokes all around.

Here's to more gimmicks again soon!

Animo Dugong Bedre Pajama Xmas party!

The Greenies celebrate the 2008 Christmas with a Pajama Party! Siyempre, ako since I didn't have pajamas, I opted to go in Boxer shorts. Unfortunately, since I had to rush to pick up the gang, I left my boxers at home. Thankfully, I spotted a nearby tiangge (confirmed by others nearby) so I made my way there and found a nice Old Navy muscle tee and a pair of boxers to wear.

Merry Christmas!!
Never again! Hahhahhaha!

Oh, nagkabotohan sa party. Di ko inexpect.
See na lang the pictures on what I won.
:-) I guess ganyan lang talaga ang male bonding.


*As usual, Sonny had free reign with my camera.

Too bad its just a hoax...

But somehow, this photoshop job makes me really want to see her play the role.

Although in the past my heart was to have Catherine Zeta-Jones play the part, age has caught up with her very fast.   Monica Belluci would have captured the exotic beauty Wonder Woman would be, however, her delivery of speaking lines leaves much less to be desired.

But Megan Fox.

Hmm... She's on the thin side.
But damn... this photoshopped hoax makes me wish she could at least wear that for a show or for halloween.

Hot hot hot!
(with a belt like that, however, she'd pierce her navel the moment she moved!)

Just a few more pics of the O bar nights I've been having.
If I look embarrassing in any of them, know I actually already selected the "more" acceptable ones for posting!
