system error: geez, what brought you here?!

It's almost 3 am and i still can't sleep. probly the figaro cappuccino i had earlier in tagaytay while on our way back to manila. (that chino was quite, hm, different--even with two packets of sugar, it still tasted like an offshoot of ampalaya)

I've just been to batangas to cover a running event hosted by The North Face and R.O.X. the event was actually cool. It was a first in the country--trail-running covering 100, 20, and 10 km. anyhow, i think i pretty much missed out on the real adventure since i dint try the terrain for myself. The other mediamen did, Therese (MB) and Mitch (PDI) with partner Ken ran in the 20, and 100 km, respectively.

I slept quite a lot during the event that even media relations staff Shyla teased me about it, "She's running the 100km in her dreams" haha

Me wanted to run too, but I dint bring with me any running shoes (only had dressy sneakers then flipflops). duh shey, it's a running event, why dint you bring running shoes?! because duh thought, i wasn't actually eager to run with the contestants just to cover the event. hah. lesson learned. ( :

The whole thing was fun really. Never been that elated for quite some time. Plus it's great getting back in shape for writing again. although im still wondering how the event would relate to a music magazine.. maybe the "Kadangyan" band that played during the second night's mini-concert would be the angle??

And yesh, i've been more than narcoleptic lately.. lot of things going on in my head.. decisions to be made.. *sigh* never thought career pathing could be any tougher. by the way, I am now doing an 18-hour-a-day shift. don't ask.

Now YOU be the judge. I know. There's an amusing ring to it, right??

Kadangyan

Ow, this was something i totally wanted to blog a week-and-a-half ago

So i came in to meet with the publisher the other Friday

Usual stuff: "You're currently working??"; "Accounting takes care of those concerns"; "Probationary period of three months" yada yada yada

and then came, "Name five artists you like"

and I WENT TOTALLY BLANK.

hahahahahahaha

yes, i may not be as musically-diverse as the rest of them are but i sure hell love a lot more artists than the two names (Beyonce, Alanis) that i gave. Note: I don't even like beyonce that much!!

TWO reasons why i went blank: NOVIA. your fault novia!! i kept on thinking about our earlier conversations which ranged from the instruments we'll assume we know how to play, if asked (the accordion and the harmonica), to the kind of music-slash-personalities that were quick reminders of our thesis. Read: Spice Girls and Igan!! ( :

and then, the music video of MY CARONIA. friggin song, it actually made its way to being my LSS for about a week, "Color me the magic of My Caronia lalalalalalala" and then the image of pretty bambinis dancing to that beat. augh!! stop there. no more LSS on that!! imagine, even the constant repetition of Maroon 5's Through With You won't override the gnawing attachment of that song to my head!! bah.

Someone tell me if I'm really cut out for this. shush.

Novia and I are proud of our cold-fried-different-flavored-but-tasted-the-same-nonetheless ice cream. yeah.
