Loss of a Friend.

My duck died.

My roughly-7 year old duck died recently. :(
His name was Sonic, and he drowned in a drum of water.
A pretty sad death, you know, for a duck.

Nakakainis talaga, mamimiss ko rin yun! Naaalala ko pa nung binili namin siya sa Shopwise Libis, along with 2 other ducklings. The other two were Princess and Sarah, named by Kitkat and Maan accordingly. Benta. =)) Ang galing nilang mag-isip ng pangalan.

Within the month, namatay yung dalawang ibang duck, and si Sonic na lang yung natira. Nakakainis! =)) Pero ayos lang, matagal nabuhay si Sonic. Kung nakapunta ka sa bahay namin at least once in the past years, makikilala mo siguro yung weird quacking niya kasi laging nakatambay yun sa labas dati. Distinct talaga yung sound niya. Hahaha!

Pero ayos lang, proud na sa kanya sa accomplishment niya.
God bless you, Sonic. Rest peacefully in ducky heaven. :)

I miss the little dude. :']

Stellar.

Note that this entry spans the whole time I didn't blog. Sucks for me to not have done so. :/

"Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars."
That quote really stuck to me for a night or two. I managed to view it in two ways already, thanks to discussing it with different people. :)) First was with Zarah, when I felt sort of tired. I was pretty negative about it, and we ended up agreeing that there won't always be stars to catch you. When you risk, sometimes you'll just fail and fall. But then, when I presented that quote to Myka, she said "The quote means, that even if you don't get what you are aiming for, there were much more you've gained, compared to one loss." Then I realized I was blinded by my negativity, and I was looking for a different kind of star. There always will be something to gain, if you give an effort. It may not be as big as you expect, but it will be there.

I tried to challenge myself by jumping into a cold pool at a water spa. The water there is as cold as the kind you drink, chilled in the fridge with lots of ice in it. Managing to stay in there for less than 5 seconds was NO SWEAT [ DON'T HURT ME! :( ], but after that you'd begin to feel really cold and the pain would seep into your muscles. I tried to stay for as long as I can, felt a great deal of numbing pain, and panicked to get out. I checked my feet and counted at least 4 small cuts because the tiles of the cold pool are kind of sharp. You're not supposed to play around in there. =))

A few days ago, I got to try laser tag at Market Market with a couple of friends. It was really fun! :D The best part is feeling all awesome, looking for an empty corridor to run through so you can go all Rambo and shoot everyone you see. The worst part is after your first step in this crazy rush, you get shot by someone who's sniping at all the people down below. You run the whole corridor with all your lights off and gun disabled. Not so fun. Hahaha! Celsius ranked 10 of 23, not bad for a first timer, but I ranked 4th in our team of 5. Just a little more, and I would've been last. :O

There are 8 post-its stuck to the shelf beside my computer desk. They contain 2-3 words each, reminding me of what still needs doing this summer. I don't think it was a very good move for me to put such hard to notice notices [ :-" ] beside a computer screen that shines so bright even in the darkest of nights! =)) I usually even forget they exist. :)) Kind of weird for me to plan things out, you know. WELL, I CONSIDER THAT PLANNING ALREADY! Hahaha!

What's been up with the sun lately? The days have been hotter, and the sinks are more broken. Wait, hold the second one. =)) I tried becoming a situational plumber and ended up turning a semi-clogged sink into a broken one that's completely blocked by the metal drain cap. Nagfeeling pa kasing tubero, ayan tuloy. Hahaha! Pero okay na ngayon, naayos ko rin after a few hours. :D

Medyo SUPER sabog nitong entry na 'to. Wala talagang kwenta. :))

I need to BLOG RIGHT AWAY. The more I try to compress into an entry, the less interesting I can make it. :|

Phantasmal Reality.

Situation:
You find yourself in bed. The reason you're in bed is that you passed out hours ago, because you were caught in an exploding gas station. Cause of ignition? Your hand went ablaze, with no logical explanation. Just like a super power.

So your eyes open up, and everything looks normal. A few meters away, you see an unfamiliar man walking to approach you. He seems to want to tell you something. You listen to him say "I AM A MANATEE!", and he growls at you really loudly.

Question:
What do you do?

My Answer:
You wake up.

Last Sunday morning, my dream ended like that. They usually don't make sense, but I actually like that fact. Life has to make sense, but you have dreams for things to just break logic and create interesting new situations. After all, you have unbounded freedom in them. Might as well create the most interesting "stories" you'd never even think to encounter, just to maximize your opportunity, diba? :)) Dream amazing things!

Lately, I've been buying stuff for my PC to improve its performance. I can say I've used WASTED a lot of money on it already. =)) I don't really have much left with me now for other things, but since most of my hobbies and even my "job" revolves around my computer, might as well make using it a nice experience, right? Hahaha. I don't have any regrets though. I'm happy with all that. :D Now that I have everything from good memory to a smoking hot mouse, I can't even think of anything else of my PC that I can spend my money on. Well, thinking reasonably of course. Pwede ko nga namang bilihan ng 50" monitor dahil cool yun. Kahit yung mga kapit-bahay pwedeng makinood ng YouTube sa laki ng screen. =))

I don't know about how it is in where you might be, but the past nights over here have been quite cold. I REALLY love the night time breeze. Sobrang feel-good maglakad sa labas pag malamig yung hangin. :] 2 hours after midnight ba naman kami umikot lang sa village at naglakad dahil ang sarap talaga sa labas. Cool. :> Hahaha! If for some reason you were out at that time, the giant, semi-realistic face in the sky could have stared down at you without you knowing. =))

I have this really strong feeling that someone's still awake right now, who "isn't supposed to be". :-" Wala lang, medyo nababaliw na ako eh. Feeling ko may mind powers na ako or ano man. Basta, cool rin mangarap. X))

Hay, mind's flow blogging. Walang theme, 'no? Hahaha. Well, medyo natatali siya nung title pero kung ano-ano lang talaga yung sinabi ko. Maganda lang talaga yung title at sumakto siya sa pinagsasabi ko. :))

Taglish, 'no? Ayos lang yan. :D
