9:36am: Saturday Transformers movie date with
Lizzie J. and Megan Fox
do you actually think there's a need to post spoiler warnings on a movie so awesome it needs no story ?
EXCERPT:
So how do the Decepticons plan to get the symbols, I guess?Well, the Decepticons have very cunningly created a hot chick robot who they enrolled in the same college and put in the same astronomy class as Sam. And they made her a huge slut. Wait.Waiting. There's a slutty Decepticon?Yeah, she's a real ho. The Decepticons apparently have an incredibly powerful slut-making program, because she has it down, man. Anyways-- Didn't Sam touch the shard and get the symbols stuck in his head on his first day of college?Yes. So the Decepticons made a slutty robot to attend his college and enrolled her in classes and put her in on-campus housing just in case Sam ended up being important at some point in the future?Apparently. It was an elaborate plan, but it sure paid off. How so?Well, not at all. The slut-bot made out with him for a little bit then immediately tried to kill him, neither for any apparent motive or gain. END EXCERPTthe rest of this "TF-ROTF : FAQ" is here: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/06/bonus_robs_transformers_2_faqs.php?page=1 that said, I mindlessly enjoyed this flick and look forward to plunking cash for some of the toys and the next movie anyway.

7:47am: Superficial Polidread Updates
dude, i feel so bloated these past few. i wasnt able to jog around the marikina track oval 2 weeks ago coz it was raining heavily and then this week coz i had other things to do. parang nabawi ng inactivity yung binuhos ko na effort sa pagtakbo nung mga lumipas na weeks earlier. toycon na sa sabado, sana masaya kahit sureball na magastos. demmit naman kung puro ungas lang na cosplayer ang makikita ko imbes na magagandang deal sa toys. kasalanan ko yata to eh, dapat yata di ko pinag cosplay si GundamGirl 2.0 dun sa toycon nung 2002 (or 2003 ba yun? XD) wala namang cosplay-cosplay dati sa toycon eh, sinimulan lang namin kasi masyado kaming adik sa Gundam kits & cosplay & it was a damn good idea to show up as a Gundam mascot sa Toycon (kahit wala namang naghahanap ng Mascot appearance) :P speaking of toycon and armored girls XD it's been a year na nga pala since Hazel & Ria took to being Macross Variable Fighter Girls no ? dami nang nangyari since then! XD and sleepy. kailangan ng katawan ko magpaka comatose, as in deep sleep, but ive been reading Silent Willow Blind Woman - yung Murakami collection of short stories - in bed before i sleep, so di rin ako nakakatulog ng mahaba kasi basa ako ng basa, pero minsan nakakainis kasi nag-o-Autopilot yung mata ko sa antok, nagi-skip yung tingin ko and sabog na yung pag-intindi ko s binabasa ko. tigas lang ng ulo, ayaw pa matulog ng matino kasi eh. so it's been a year nga since ive made any cosplays, or any major drawings... nami miss na nga ako ng Macross World Forums kasi tagal ko nang di tinatapos yung mga promise ko na VFGirls drawings. ok lang yun, di naman sila mamamatay pag di sila nakakita ng babaeng robots. but then that only really means i havent been actively practising my creative skills. Okay, so i have a job and work activities exhaust my creative skills daily but as you know that's just work and work sucks :P the passion is in the fandom, you know. (roll eyes) eh! because Transformers ROTF (Revenge Of The Fallen) can sometimes be substituted with (Rolling On The Floor) is coming very soon, the toy stores have sent most of their other Transformers toy lines on sale, i was able to grab Inferno (the firetruck from Generation 1) Very pogi robot. i hope to get a Red Alert (the Fire Chief's service vehicle) to pair up with him (coz those 2 have a ridiculous ton of fangirl slash fic if you didnt know...) But then Red Alert is a Japan exclusive Autobot figure and an expensive one at that, so im better off customizing one. Maybe. Hopefully. And Katrina's video footage sucks. I dont know why Katrina's throwing a fit over such sucky footage. XD Maricar's is teh superior clip.

8:45am: sabi nga ni Clarence Sison - Manual Jumpstart for the third world.
**************************************** *** http://clangfu.multiply.com/journal/item/194/Philippines_2.0 so meron na tayong maraming mga bagay na kailangan ng kaukulang pansin, na kinakailangan ng seryosong kaukulang pansin. me swine flu na kumakalat ad(sic) medyo dumadami lang ha. yung sex scandal ne medyo naman humupa na, dahil na din sa iba pang mga mas nakakahilo pang bagay. tapos meron tayong unjust taxation ng libro, atsaka yang con ass. tapos heto, andaming nagsusulputang websites na against sa con ass at merong mga facebook groups na against dun sa taxation ng mga libro. anong gagawin non?! manginginig ba sila sa takot dahil meron 10 million na pinoy na members nung group na yon at naka-sign up? fine, for information and awareness pero we already know the issues. tayo nga yung nasa internet madalas, di ba? mas mabilis pa nga tayo sa news ngayon dahil me twitter na e. pero parang nalalabuan ako. signing up for those cause-oriented web bases sites don't really do much, in my opinion ha. parang meron advocacy, tapos wala ka naman pag meeting -- bumili ka lng ng tshirt. what does that do? parang kwela ka lang kse, syet, "concerned" ako sa mga nangyayari sa paligid ko. sos. tumayo ka nga dyan and do something. third world pa rin ang pilipinas. karamihan ng mga bagay dito kailangan mo manu-manuhin kung gusto mo ng pagbabago. **************************************** *** sabi ko: at heto nga ang problema ng middle class, palagi syang nasa gitna siya ng extremes. kaya't di alam ng isang middle class na tao kung saan siya lulugar - because the poor have nothing to lose and the rich have everything to gain from change at ang middle class? lagi na lang nasa gitna, kung magbabago man ang sitwasyon da usual normal at yun pa rin ang mapapala niya. madaming ambiguity kapag ikaw ay nasa middle class - dahil aral at mulat ka ay alam mo ang nangyayari sa iyong kapaligiran at nais mong mapaganda pa ang mga bagay para sa lahat - mulat ka sa sitwasyon sa mga lower class dahil madalas mo silang nakikita kapag nag commute ka papunta sa trabaho or sa grocery store. alam mo at nais mong makagawa ng mga bagay upang sila'y umunlad kahit papaano ay makakain sila ng sapat na 3 beses isang araw palagi, makakuha sila ng magandang tahanan, mapag aral ang kanilang mga anak - mga bagay na ikaw bilang middle class na tao ay mayroon na. mulat ka rin sa sitwasyon mo bilang middle class, tapos ka na ng kolehiyo salamat sa parents mo, mag ta-tatlong taon ka na sa work mo, ay may bagong bukas na themed restaurant kailangan yayain ang barkada nang masubukan, di ka mapapahiya kung di mo pala gusto yung lugar at least madami naman kayo di ba, nakabasa ka ng magasin at ang ganda nung bagong labas na cellphone, baka puwedeng mag upgrade pagdating ng mid-year bonus, hintay hintay lang hindi ka makapag todo gastos kasi di ka naman super-rich at kahit papaano ay sana matapos na ang hulugang bayad sa kotse mo. Mas maganda siguro kung mayaman ka 'no? mulat ka lalo sa mga upper class, they might be everything we aspire to become and/or they might possess everything we aspire to have as well. siyempre nakita mo yung mga ginagawa nilang sosyalan sa internet, napanood mo sila sa TV at nabasa mo sila sa magazine. Wow, ang gara ng bahay minana pala Old Rich siguro ang pamilya nila? Bagong bukas yung themed restaurant nila, magkano kaya iyan? san sila nakakuha ng pambili niyan? wow, ang gaganda ng mga anak nila matangkad, makinis ang balat, matangos ang ilong, ang ganda ng buhok! sana ganyan din kaganda ang alagang aso ko (si Bantay Brownie nga di ko man lang mapabakunahan laban sa rabies eh!) because the poor have nothing to lose and the rich have everything to gain from change at ang middle class? lagi na lang nasa gitna. kung magbabago man ang sitwasyon da usual normal at yun pa rin ang mapapala niya or kung susurwetihin, umangat nga siya ng antas, maging upper-middle class (sinong mokong ang nag imbento ng mga ganito at may nalalaman pang sub-classes?!?) pero malamang at malaking pagkakataon baka maging mas mahirap pa siya at maging lower-middle class (pakshet nga naman, siyempre kung may upper-middle class, meron din lower-middle class.) Change is good, but only when it's gradual. takot ang tao sa cataclysm - mga bagay na magpapa yanig ng kanyang tindig sa alam niyang factual & unshakeable earth. lalo na ang tao na nasa Middle class.

6:34am: wanna sit down and brew with polidread.
Good advice. Thu May 28, 2009, 12:58 PM Yes. When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the beer. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends,your favorite passions-- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else--the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised their hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

7:24pm: Shakespearean
I have of late, —but wherefore I know not,— lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, —why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

after allowing myself to all-day marinate a certain idea in my brainpan i came upon a slow but sudden realization which caused me to have shortness of breath, cold sweat, butterflied stomach, irritability, panic, anger, paranoia, anxiety, frustration, sadness and hunger all coated in a shallow laughing fit because: early this year i printed this and gave out copies to my department co-workers  A few days ago my personal copy turned up as i was tidying my workspace. How amusingly accurate, Ms. Walker and Mr. Gaiman. I may throw up my sarcasm at times but beyond all of it I dont want to be so bitter about this.

10:55am: i am a Type 4 - an artist
said an online enneagram~thingy test i mindlessly took instead of working on my job. http://www.9types.com/newtest/homepage.actual.htmland type 4 people are described as: http://www.9types.com/http://www.9types.com/epd/4.htmlhttp://www.9types.com/descr/4/The Romantic (the Four) Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive. How to Get Along with Me Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me. Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself. Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision. Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little. Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting! What I Like About Being a Four my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level my ability to establish warm connections with people admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor being unique and being seen as unique by others having aesthetic sensibilities being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me What's Hard About Being a Four experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved feeling guilty when I disappoint people feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me expecting too much from myself and life fearing being abandoned obsessing over resentments longing for what I don't have Fours as Children Often have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original game s are very sensitive feel that they don't fit in believe they are missing something that other people have attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc. become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce) Fours as Parents help their children become who they really are support their children's creativity and originality are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings are sometimes overly critical or overly protective are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed Oh dear me.

9:51pm: We all know where this leads to...
"To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And i have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..." "But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have the hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful it will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back to the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat." "One only understands the things that one tames," said the fox. "Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me..." So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near- "Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry." "It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you..." "Yes, that is so," said the fox. "But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince. "Yes, that is so," said the fox. "The it has done you no good at all!" "It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields." "It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important." "It is the time I have wasted for my rose-" said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember. "Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose..." "I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

12:13pm: the music
i like listening to foreign music. and i have been brought up to be polite and non disruptive as much as possible. i understand not everybody's inclined to listen to a nasal japanese woman wail her brand of rock and for others it may even amount to an unhealthy disruption of their own workspace and concentration and when i want none of that i will plug in to my headphones and get to work sometimes when i want to focus on work specially on an impending deadly deadline id zone in and shut out the rest of the planet with my headphones. there are plenty of stupid distractions around us and when i want none of that i will plug in and you'll have to tap my shoulders to get my attention that's how i sometimes get things done. misinterpret it as me having a bad day or a moodswing or irritation at everyone else.

She has really really made me feel the meaning of this song. my days have become so joyful, so different, so 180degrees from the post-apocalyptic beachchair ive been sitting on these past few years. so much so that when i take a deep deep breath my senses instantly remember that fruity scent and the slow-burning glorious glowing smile she beams - literal and symbolic imagery of the optimistic optimistic future we have. I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone All of the bad feelings have disappeared Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day http://polidread.multiply.com/video/item/2 1/Johnny_Nash_-_I_Can_See_Clearly_Now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwJ-g0iJ 6w

im still learning how to use this. i knew i shouldnt have used a white background on the same layer for Mr. Moonlight, because when fixed the lay out for the blue and gray background i had to manually erase the white all around his figure. look - you can obviously still see the white surrounding him like a weird aura. i have to use photoshop's layers to my advantage.  relearning is such a pleasantly frustrating experience.

1:24pm: i think im going to like this upcoming dance tune even though i understand none of its lyrics.
youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmIO9WxXx mg Maki Goto's return to musicWed, January 14, 2009 (3:48am EST)Maki Goto is officially resuming her music career with a dance tune titled "Fly Away." This is her first new material since nearly a year and a half ago, when she voluntarily suspended herself after her brother Yuki was arrested for theft. "Fly Away" is a collaboration with young author Hitomi Kanehara, who won the Akutagawa Prize for her 2003 novel "Hebi ni Piasu" ("Snakes and Earrings"). Both are participating in a Mixi-sponsored cross-media project called "SWEET BLACK." For her part in the project, Kanehara has written a short story titled "Mambo," which Goto used as the basis for the lyrics of "Fly Away." The song, which is being released under the name SWEET BLACK feat. Maki Goto, goes on sale digitally through Recochoku starting on the 21st. Although there are currently no plans for a CD release, it is not out of the question. Goto may also collaborate with other authors in the future. A preview video for "Fly Away" is now available on Avex's YouTube channel and on her newly updated website.

2:46pm: Quoted from anon
"Spending money (and search time) on toys for the quickly faded joy of owning a discutably cool looking and ultimately useless item ? Hell yes its wasted money ! I do it anyway. Is it to compensate for a potential emptiness I might feel in my life ? Maybe. But frankly I dont care ! I just like it. Its not even for the possession of those objects, but for the pleasure of geting those. I feel like just like a kid opening christmas presents, but with less chance of disapointement ! Awe and laughter at the look, feel, design or details or those ... Short-term happiness only ? Sometimes, but even this is already worth my money. Objects designed for fun is not something that common. To have objects made for no other purpose than just some fun - I find this amazing. Its pointless, and yet people work for that. Think, design, spend money on it, make it build by little chinese kids, and then propose to the public, and hope they'll like it. I think being able to spend energy and time on non-vital purposes is what denotes intelligence in a being. Intelligence doesnt have to be used for a great cause you know :D Im not saying making and buying those makes me intelligent. I think I just see in it (along with the fun and sometime the talent of the designers) a small proof that humans are intelligent enough to be silly. Also, I dont have to pay a rent."
