Crazy week! Crazy weather! I mean, why would you name a typhoon with such a powerful name! Milenyo = Millenium = 1000 years! (it screams YU gI OH i swear!) I know PAGASA names these storms by the alphabet, but..... Milenyo was the worst typhoon to hit the Metro in a decade (real fact to maga tsong!). I have the weirdest feeling it was because of this name, this powerful name which gave this typhoon such... power! IF you HAD to name it with an "M", a milder name would have done it! like... lets say "Miggy", i bet typhoon "Miggy" wouldn't be able to kill anything!! (bading kasi!)

SURELY PAGASA knows this!

As per PAGASA tradisyon, the next typhoon will be named using the next letter in the alphabot, letter "N". Sp this typhoon which is scheduled to hit luzon on the week of october 2 was appropriately named:

"NENENG"

But seriously... it was bad in the metro, yeah,, but all the other typhoons had the same (if not worse) effect on provinces. So remember all the times we reloiced over an incoming suspension of classes, MAHIYA KAYO!

So guys, pray kayo lagi pag may bagyo!

Millions of pesos worth of property not to mentions LIVES! are lost tuwing nagsasaya tayo sa bahay!

ANd for those old enough to vote next election, vote for someone whom you can trust with anti calamity stuff.. ayt?

Im gonna rant now.. kay?

Ironically, on wednesday, i was studying about (hondandaradan) electricty! Of all the things db? funny, everything i learned wasn't able to prepare me for the weekend to come! Big P6 test scheduled for thurs, if i got a good grade in this one (its the last btw ) i get to be exempted from the finals! (booyah!!) So super tiyaga me mag aral sabay YM. Tas, bryant go IMed me :pare wag ka na mag aral! suspende! He showed me a link n shiz tapos unga! walang pasok!! harhar

Nag YM lang me the whole nyt while typing up some papers. DOn introduced me to triple Jack! super fun niya, but i still dont get the rules. Triple Jack is an online texas hold'em poker game on macromedia flash! kaya cool, register na sa www.triplejack.com . (shameless plug damn it!)

So naglaro kami ni Don, tapos naki sali sa Ash so laro lang whole night till they called it quits. The rest of the night YM nlng with Cri n Rhon. ME n Rhon were writing LIT papers on the same topic, Isaac Asimov's "the LAst Question", real good! (read it here http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html, may graphic novel version pa! kool!)

I really really really REALLY enjoyed this story kasi ang BBBAngas niya!! It was really deep, it had a lot to say, a nice way to say it and and and AND! bastah! read it!!

One of the things it talked about was mankind's growing dependence on technology! (oh diba? literary analysis!) think about it, its true? hindi ba't para kang hubad kapag wala kang cellphone? technology is hastily evolving to become part of almost every aspect of our life, think about it.... Sumuper effort ako thinking about this ah! I wrote a paper on the damn thing! (the story had a bunch of other themes which might intrigue you :D)

THE last question : how those one get an "A" in Ms Sabido's class?

the ANSWER: Insufficient data for meaningful answer! damn it AMP!

This story haunted me for the rest of the Milenyo weekend.....

Finished my papers, chatted sum more, 2log!

oooo! Thursday na!!!!!

• 
  
  First strange thing : POWER flutuations! really scary mehn
  
  
• 
  
  next -> the brown out!
  
  
• 
  
  The lakas tama ulan

I normally love the rain, for its coolness (temperature ah!) and its emo effect on me. I love walking in the rain, sleeping in the rain, bathing in the rain, but most of all CONTEMPLATING LIFE in the rain! (beat that OBi Wan!)

But this was no normal rain, it was Milenyo's (again with the name!). My dad described like this "its like being under siege". in truth it was, haha. The entire family was posted on the windows on my house's broadside as we fought against nature's invasion of man's artificial environment. Water came through closed windows, air conditioners and cracks in the wall! Everyone running around with towels and rags, panic panic etc

Lookin back,,, it was soooo stupid! i mean come on! tubig lang yan! all the Hassle (its that word again!) for some measly leaks. We have wooden floors, water would severely weaken it, but still, un lang ang laking problema an para sa amin, what the hell? what have i become!!

I promised myself long ago, before moving in to White Plains, that i would not become one of those snooty "feeling upper class materialistic assholes", but everyday.. i feel like im falling into that hole (not the ass hole, kay?!)

i think that last paragraph is what you call a "rant"

nyway

so for a few hours naubos nmin lahat ng basahan at twalia sa bahay. I went outside to look for brandy (my white lab, ive got pictures of her : http://megeh.multiply.com/photos/album/2 .. haha, Lakas ng hangin, i was almost tangayed by the wind if it wasnt for the pader. I found brandy, she was inside the house all along, good girl,, stupid boy!!!

IF it wasnt for that wall, i dont think i'd be typing this right now :D

Some more window guarding until the rains died.. I went outside and cheked the streets, chaos mehn, again ive got pics : http://megeh.multiply.com/photos/album/39 . I think the pictures can give you a better.. uhm... picture??? of what i saw, hahaaha, check out the bat!!

The bat we found was still alive, it slept through out the entire attack and emerged unharmed, wet but unharmed, if i slept, the same thing could have happened to me, wet yet unharmed.. napaisip me dito

we needed food and candles but my dad said we should wait for things to settle before moving out. I burned time by reading "on beauty" by whats hername. It a required reading for my LIt class (SABIDO!! hanggang dto pa ay ginugulo mo pa ako!) it helped a bit, theres was hardly mention of electricity or appliances in the first part of the book (save for howard's PC which had a brief camio) In effect, the brown out ddnt bother me as much, at the time at least.

I havent read enough if the novel to say if its good or bad, im just not enjoying it so far hahah

Around 5 ish we left for SM hypermart, sum1 txtd, may pasok daw bukas, huh? so we bought stuff for the night, candles, batteries, food etc (jollibee!!) then came home, dark mehn, real dark

ang creepy ng house in candle light, 2mawag si anjo sa bahay, kwentuhan and shiz, He is in USTE m nman sa ADMU, pero we hardly talked about... "that", innocent kwentuhan at kamustahan lang which was quite nice to talk about.. Nerd parin daw ako, hahhaha :D

we talked for a reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaLLLLLLLLLLLL long time tapos sumigaw si louie : FIRE!

my WOODEN dresser caught fire, cool noh? louie put it out with a cup of water and left like nothing happened, Binasa lang nya sabay alis, so basa pa lahat at puro abo, what the hell? ako nman d ko pinansin, 2loy kwentohan

and then i saw the damage! Ouchness

the rest of the night wala akong ginawa!

Katext ko si petra, i couldnt sleep kasi, is berry scary in my room at night with no electricity, its pitch black mehn!! and frickin quiet... toooo quiet. 

Soon enough i drained myself of all bodily energies and finally fell asleep, woke up the next morning. Nothing to do but read "on beauty" all morning whil making agawan with louie. we fought over my ipod and who could finish the battery faster, stupid noh? Needless to say, I won this bet hahaha

To destroy the monotony of the day nag de leon family male bonding kami sa rockwell. My mum went to a party while me n papa n louie looked for a movie to watch. Flyboys: the biplane worldwar one action movie won over DOA and first day high. Sam was there, ung blockmate nila don-don, but i dont really know him well enough to say "Hi", d nya ata ako kilala eh haha.. we bought tickets and killed time sa Fully booked

Louie found a cool comic : MARVEL Zombies, hayup, gus2 ko nyan! its about the end of the world ean everyone is a zombie including every marvel super hero at nagpapatayan sila over flesh!! waaaaaaaa!! I want that!!

O ayun, movie na, ung family ni Sam sat behind me, haha, la lang

Flyboys was cool, for a world war 1 movie... Tradition n kasi toh eh, in my family, if there is a ner "war" movie papanoorin namn yan. Its interesting to see how muxh "honor" there was back then during the war, also how personal air combat was. "flying knights" was one of the terms coined by one of the pilots in the movie. They were like knights riding powerful steeds into battle while carrying an insignia to announce their name. Angas siya, its sooo RETRO

This movie helped me get over the lack of electricity at home because, like on beauty, there was hardly anything electrical in the movie

the next day, saturday, nanood ako ng game! wow! GAme2 at natalo ata us hahaha, pero patron tix ako ah! (thanx again pat!)

D ako nag days meeting para dyan (sorry don!! promise, next meeting punta ako!)

Got kuryente (finally!!) that night at aroung 12 ish so parang sunday na rin un, hahaaha
