in retrospect…

starting tomorrow, the 24th of February, i’ll be taking my life back on track… not that it really is OFF the track this time… i mean, i’d make it more normal… like:
# i’d get a regular job this time… i figured, taking jobs as a consultant does not exactly put food on the table… yes, it’d be good only if you have regular clients… otherwise, taking up a regular job still is the best way to go… of course, i’d still be doing consultancy, but during my off-hours… haaayyy, there go my nights again… not that i had them before… so, any of you know of a good job? one that pays well, and preferrably have to do practically near-to-nothing?
# i’d anchor myself to one place… yes, i’ve been living out of my luggage some time now… for 3 months, i’d had 4 different places, and that’s not the way to live out a life… no, really… i’d want to be more accessible this time… a regular phone, a regular place to crash in, regular friends to be with… that sort of thing… i will looking either for an apartment or a condo unit starting tomorrow…
# i’d stop working very hard (for once), and play a little more, instead… that means more badminton for me… and more Ragnarok Online, too! :HAHA:
# and finally, more reading, too! i’ve recently rediscovered the joys of this once pastime of mine… back when the days where very bleak due to the lack of a television, or computer, or both! currently just finished TheShadow Rising, the 4th of The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan… will be buying the 5th soon, The Fires of heaven… anybody wanna buy this for me??? as a gift??? no one? thought so… hehehehe… :wonder:

you may be asking: “why tomorrow?” it’s because i’d be going from wherever i am right now back to where i was born, raised (and probably die, too!) tomorrow: MANILA!!! really, that song by the Hotdogs about this great city (with all of its traffic, and corrupt and inept traffic aides to boot) is true… if you’ve been to this place, you’d always want to be in it… my flight is by 11am and will be landing in Manila around 1pm… wala ako pasalubong ha?

so, expect me to make a big splash tomorrow (or not)! will be renewing old friendships again… will be revisiting my roots which i haven’t seen for some time… will be spending more time with my son… will be… will be… will definitely be doing more than i did before… definitely!

Ciao, baby… 8-)

went to a children’s birthday party today at McDonald’s, and got to talking with the dad (who is a musician).

he said that they are currently looking for a new web hosting facility… their current one is giving them a lot of headaches, he said…

hmmmm??? that got me into thinking (which was not very often, these days)… can i also go into web hosting? i can, really… i can use the server this blog is on, and i can price it much lower than the industry since all costs are already paid for… hmmm… *thinking* yes, it can be done… the server is fast, and it will be a cinch adding hard disks into it… and the Internet connection, as well… it IS fast, isn’t it??? hmmmm…

remember Coreen? the motherhen? i mean, goose? well, just talked to her also, and she has wonderful news: she just had SEX last Saturday!!! yay!!! hahaha… and she said it was good, all SEVEN rounds of it… hahahaha… go Coreen!!!

also, i have a badminton game this Saturday courtesy of Eepak… yes!!!

hehehe… things are indeed looking up!

Ciao, dear… 8-)

yipee!!!!

i’ve finally got my blog on a new server!!! the server is using SuSE 9.1 as the operating system, with Apache/PHP5 and MySQL to host all my needs. thanks to the owners (but i don’t think they know who they are!!! or that they’d want to!!! hahahaha :D)

i promise to post here at least ONCE a month… nothing more… what with my current work load (did i say I am back here in Davao and working on putting up an ISP???), i’d be hard-pressed to find the time to eat and sleep, much less post! hahahaha… kidding…

the past month, i have been playing badminton like crazy, at least 3 to 4 times a week. but here? i’d be lucky if i can find just one night to be able to play… i already miss those days…

and while i was in Manila the past month, i lived in a boarding house in Kapitolyo in Pasig. i’ve met friends there whose personalities are as varied as the songs in my MP3 player (yes! i’ve got a new one!!!)
boardmates

there was Precious who was so tahimik and so cool!

there was Eli who was Jude Law personified. naks!!! ngiti naman dyan…

there was Habs who is a big time dude with Globe Philippines (penge naman load!!!) hehehe

and of course, there was Coreen, who, at the very tender age of 26(?) is the veritable mothergoose of the whole household… hehehe…

finally, there are some things that i don’t like talking about here… but i can talk about them if we get to meet… so, meet up with me and let’s talk things over… ok??? kewl!!!

Ciao, dear… 8-)
