I know it doesn’t look like it (or does it? whatever.), but I’m a very sentimental person. I put a lot of sentimental value on stuff. As soon as I pay for a ballpen, BAM! There’s a connection between me and the pen. If I lose it 2 hours later, I’ll be depressed like hell. So just imagine me losing something I’ve had for 4 years. Just imagine it being a reminder of my breakup with my girlfriend for 2 years. Just imagine it being a souvenir from a time and place of healing (Cable Car Alabang Town Center, a couple of days from the breakup). Just imagine me not just losing it, it was accidentally smashed into thousands of pieces by an idiot! My heart got smashed too when I got home, only to discover that one very precious artifact from my college days was gone. This is why I hate people touching my stuff. I’ll miss you, Mr. Ashtray. =(

I didn’t even get the chance to take a decent picture of it. =(

I just saw The Bucket List and as expected, I totally fell in love with it. It’s a little too feel good for my taste, and I find it sort of… umm… unhinged from reality, but it’s just fascinating to see Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Freeman bounce off each other. Anyway, it inspired me to come up with my own “bucket list” like it probably did to most people who’ve seen it. For those unfamiliar with the term, “the bucket list” is a list of things you want to accomplish before you kick the proverbial bucket. Obviously, I’m still young and a little green in terms of life experience to make a definitive list, so I present to you the initial items to be included in my bucket list. My “first draft”, if you will:

With all the good times I’m having on the Internet these days, I’ve forgotten how important TV is in my life. I mean, I grew up in the warm glow of several TV sets. They nurtured me into the fine young man I am today. OK, I’m shitting you. My IQ took a beating while I was a slave to TV’s enchanting moving pictures with sound. Switching my attention to the Internet isn’t helping. But I digress. My point is, during the long weekend, I reconnected with Mr. TV and I found a therapeutic voice amidst all the whining in reality TV shows, the lame lines in crappy movies, and the moaning of animals during sexy time on National Geographic. I’ve discovered Nigella.

Mmm… muffins.

It’s Holy Week, the last week of Lent. I’m not a practicing (whatever that means) Catholic, but I do respect the reflective atmosphere of this week here in the Philippines. On that note, I would like to let you all know that I shall observe blog silence here and in Face Rockery until Easter Sunday.

Anyway, in the spirit of this week’s reflective nature, I present to you some of my “reflective” blog entries:

• Baddie 2007

ROMANCING THE CALL CENTER

We all feel the urge to find out things about other people every now and then. Whether you’re a single and lonely person trying to re-establish connections with old friends or you’re a member of your company’s human resources department trying to see if a job applicant is actually a child molester, you will almost certainly rely on the Internet to give you the information you need. The problem is, the Internet is a black hole of information about people. You will need a reliable tool to navigate it, something that doesn’t entirely depend on search algorithms.

Enter: Spock.com - the best for people search.
