I was updating the site the whole day. Nothing big really happened (as always). Corinne called me earlier and we had a talk about jobs and careers. I think I'll be looking for a job anytime this week. I think I'm already ready. I think maybe she is right about passing my resume early so that companies can have it processed. And by the time they have analyzed my resume for interview, I just might be ready. Or maybe if I really want a job ASAP, I'll just accuse someone at the Inquirer of plagiarism so that I can have his position. Hehe... sound familiar?
I've been seeing Reese Witherspoon a lot these past few days. Only on television of course, her husband Ryan whats-his-face might get jealous. I've seen her in the movie 'Election' and 'Little Nicky'. In 'Election,' she plays a very irritating ambitious perfectionist. She acted great because I was really irritated at her. What bothered me was the fact that there are really people like her character in real life, and I've met them. In fact, I might have been like them sometimes (attitude is very contagious, you know). I wasn't only pertaining to the scenario in the movie, I'm pertaining to everything, from school work, to job hunting, to everything. There are people that do anything just to get what they want, even stepping on the people around them.
But... I'm not in the mood to get mad this time. I'm currently listening to my compilation of Jars of Clay sounds and I'm feeling spiritual at the moment. Anyway, Karma will give them whatever they deserve.

"Soaring on the wings of selfish pride, I flew too high and like Icarus I collide with the world I tried so hard to leave behind me."

- Worlds Apart, Jars of Clay

This was playing on my background as I was writing this article. Coincidence? Relevance? WELL, there is! Simple, you reap what you sow.

Grrrrr! It seems that my day wouldn't get any worse! Freeserver.com, my current host, does not allow large files to be uploaded. I planned on posting an MP3 of the Week column on my music page (Prince's idea) but my host wouldn't allow it! I'm going to give it one more try and if it doesn't work, it doesn't. Besides, I'm using PLDT VIBE so every single second is important.
I was studying DHTML and Javascript around dawn earlier. I cannot connect to the Internet because I had no more free ISP accounts. My last resort was the PLDT vibe but the service isn't really that great. Or Maybe I was just unlucky? It took me a hundred tries just to connect to the net and once connected, the line seems dead. I'm not receiving data and the page keep on displaying the "Cannot display page" error. I disconnected and tried it once more. I did not have the intention of wasting my life waiting to be connected so I opened up a folder of tutorials I have stored in my computer. Since I was trying to build this site, I looked for something relevant. I saw a folder containing tutorials about DHTML and I wondered what on earth it was (and why did I have a copy of it?) Well, the tutorial focused on creating cascaded style sheets which means if I have to implement it, I'll have to edit my entire site. Dumb Luck.
I really had to surf the net and I've still got stuff to post on my site. The tone emitted by the modem got more and more irritating by the minute as it clicks on and off-hook.
Audiogalaxy was shut down just this week. I've still got a lot of songs on cue and now they're all gone...

I didn't watch a movie as I've planned yesterday. Instead, I've spent the whole day watching cartoons. I was supposed to go out this evening but it rained hard so I just decided to watch the HBO Saturday movie premiere. Unfortunately, 'Get Carter' was on. I'm not a Sylvester Stallone fan so I didn't even last the first five minutes of the movie.
I should have been at the 'Fete de la Musique' at El Pueblo by now. My sister's already there with her boyfriend - they're probably at a bar with ethnic music like 'Grace Nono' or 'Pinikpikan'. The last time we attended the 'Fete de la Musique' was when it was held at the Fort. I wonder what ever happened to the Fort? I've heard that they've closed it already. I'm not a clubbing person so I'm not updated with these stuff. I only go to bars when there are rock bands present.
My little brother has beaten me to the Internet again. I didn't set up our Internet connection sharing so I have to wait for him to finish whatever he is doing before I can connect to the web. Last time I checked, he's at the #paulinian IRC chatroom. I think it's going to take longer than I expected. Hehe... He has just finished high school and he knows more girls than me.
I think I'll watch 'CSI' first, I have nothing to do anyway.

Well, I haven't updated the contents of this site since yesterday. I planned on scanning some pictures for the CoEB Prophecies but I was distracted a lot and I wasn't able to do so.
I always wake up late ever since school was out - usually around 1:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon. By the time I wake up, I have cramps all over my body from oversleeping. I think my body is retaliating because I'm always subjecting it to torture. I've been eating a lot since I have nothing to do, I'm always sitting in front of the computer, and I'm always oversleeping. Don't be surprised if you see me all bloated up. It is a good thing that our food supply is diminishing, that means I'll have to get out of my room, walk outside and buy food.
Tomorrow I'll go out and watch a movie so that my body fats won't get super-saturated. Maybe I'll watch Scooby-doo or Sum of All Fears. I haven't checked the papers yet for the latest listings of movies, is there something else showing? I'm kind of in a mood for a suspense film. But not like the slasher films shown in Star Movies. One day I saw this movie "Do You Want To Know a Secret?" and afterwards, I said to myself, I'm never going to watch movies of this genre again! But I did anyway... I saw "Urban Legends: Final Cut" on HBO and I've noticed that these movies are all the same. If you've watched a lot of slasher films, you can get the characters of one film mixed up with another. There's a goofy rookie cop, a slutty best friend, a goody-two-shoes protagonist, a mysterious boyfriend... Hey! A thought just crossed my mind, the protagonist is always a girl! Why don't they make a slasher movie with a guy lead instead. I imagined that he'd be screaming a lot.
Anyway, I'm hungry... I'm going to get some food now... and oh, rot in hell Abu Sabaya!
